“He must be feeling upset that his friend has left. He should return to his room in a few days once his mood is more stable,” Lillian said.

“Probably.”

While they were speaking, the shriek of one of the housekeepers was suddenly heard from the second floor.

Lillian turned her head in the direction of the noise and yelled, “What’s going on?”

The housekeeper answered, “I have no idea when a small hole was made in the wall behind this vase.”

Lillian and Rosalie exchanged glances and went up the stairs to where the small hole was located, according to the housekeeper.

It seemed to be a result of being shot by something. The hole had only been discovered as it had previously been strategically hidden by the plants inside a large vase that used to be placed in front of it.

Rosalie squatted down and inspected the plant. She noticed a hole on one of its leaves that was identical to the one on the wall

“What’s going on?” Lillian queried. “How could there be such a hole? Who was the one responsible for cleaning up the place?”

“It’s me. However, I typically only wipe the vase and move it away once every two weeks to thoroughly clean the dust and grime close to the wall,” the housekeeper hurriedly responded. “The hole wasn’t here last time.”

Rosalie regarded the hole suspiciously. After a moment, she said to Lillian, “Lillian, please ask someone to call the police. I think we may need the police to come over.”

“What? The police?” Lillian was startled and did as she was told.

The police arrived and extracted an air gun bullet stuck in the wall from the scene. While taking such a bullet wasn’t mortal, it could still cause wounding.
