So when the butler heard this, there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
He really didn't know what was going on.
His expression suddenly became serious and he asked.
"When did it happen? Why didn't anyone come and tell me about it?"
Logically speaking, he should have known more or less what had happened in the mansion.
But I didn't expect that under such circumstances, he knew nothing about this matter.
So at this moment, he felt a little strange in his heart.
Is someone deliberately concealing it?
After hearing this, those people shut their mouths one after another, not knowing what to say next.
At this moment, they really didn't know how to explain it, and there was a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
Seeing that they didn't make any excuses at this time, the butler naturally felt a little helpless.
"No one of you can speak?"
But those people seemed to have made an agreement and did not say a single word.
Seeing how frightened they were, and a hint of terror in their eyes, the butler knew that they definitely didn't understand. He said it was as simple as imagining.
The housekeeper knew that if he was in a hurry, there would be no way to achieve his goal.
So at this time, perhaps taking a step-by-step approach would be a good idea for them.
He tried to make his attitude less aggressive, and then asked cautiously.
"Can any of you tell me what happened?"
At this moment, they were naturally a little curious.
No matter what, at this time he also wanted to know the truth of the matter.
If he couldn't find out the truth without knowing why, he would feel very upset.
Those people looked at each other, but even so, they were still very conflicted in their hearts.
Not only that, the butler could also see how hesitant they were at this moment.
He really didn't know what had happened to make them so uncomfortable.
When he was about to say something else, those people finally spoke.
"But we didn't set the fire here, and we don't know what happened."
At this moment, there seemed to be a hint of discomfort in their tone.
The housekeeper didn't blame them.
After hearing this, I finally understood what they were worried about just now.
So at this moment he took over, patted their heads gently and spoke.
"I think you're overthinking it. The reason I asked you this question just now was just to find out what was going on, not to blame you."
Besides, they have been staying in such an environment for such a long time, which must have had some negative impact on them.
Now that it has been so long, there is no point in dwelling on who did it.
And now even if the housekeeper wanted to find out, there was no way to find out in a very short time.
"Can you tell me what the situation was like?"
Seeing that the butler really didn't seem to want to blame them, they finally put their minds at ease.
Then they immediately began to tilt their heads and recall carefully.
Naturally, they did not dare to be careless about this matter.
And seeing how big a scene they have made, I think they must have discovered something important, otherwise they wouldn't be like this.
And just at this moment, someone finally stood up and spoke.
"I was the first one back to the dormitory, and when I found out, my clothes were already on fire."
After he finished speaking, the people around him naturally nodded and spoke without hesitation.
"Yes, we returned to the dormitory right after that, and the interval was not very short. By then, the fire was already big."
"We did see such a situation at the time, and then we immediately got some water and put it out."
After hearing this, the housekeeper finally understood what was going on.
When they were not in the dormitory, someone must have come to their dormitory and did something.
But that person didn't seem to have any intention of causing them any great harm. He just wanted to scare them or for some other purpose.
The housekeeper could actually see the burnt condition of the place.
After all, the area burned here is very small, not a lot at all.
If that's the case, then that person definitely didn't kill me.
Otherwise, since he already has such a condition, he will definitely take this matter very seriously.
Before the butler could say anything, those people looked very uncomfortable, with tears welling up in their eyes.
"It's just that during that period of time, a lot of things really happened in the mansion, and we didn't know whether to tell them or not."
After one of them said this, the people around him nodded and spoke.
"Yes, yes. You were so busy with other things at the time that we felt there was no need to trouble you with such a small matter."
"And we put out the fire very quickly. It wasn't a big deal, so we didn't tell you."
The butler also understood the whole story.
But at this time, he really wanted to tell everyone a fact.
"Although we were quite busy recently, you still have to tell us if something like this happens."
This kind of thing is nothing, it's really a trivial matter.
Maybe that person was the one who did all this.
Although this possibility is not very high, it cannot be ruled out.
If everyone had told other people about this matter at the beginning, perhaps they would be able to find out some clues about it now.
After hearing what was said, those people could only nod helplessly and speak.
"Okay, okay, we'll know exactly what to do next."
"We have deeply realized our mistakes this time."
Their tone also sounded very sincere.
The butler wouldn't care that much.

So at this time he raised his hand, patted their shoulders gently, and spoke.
"Alright, alright. Now that you've all come to our house, you can be considered one of our big families. If something like this happens again in the future, remember to tell us."
With the housekeeper's words, they naturally felt a little comforted.
Maybe at the beginning, they really don’t know what they should do.
But now that the butler has told them clearly, how could they not be clear?
Those people nodded solemnly, looking very serious.
Then the butler turned around, looked at the people searching behind him, and asked.
"How about finding anything?"
After hearing this, those people still shook their heads slightly. They were still searching, and at this time they had to be more careful.
The butler then turned his attention to the people in front of him again.
He looked carefully and found that there was indeed one person missing.
He was very curious about this situation, so he asked again.
"Is there someone missing here? Where did that person go?"
After hearing this, those people nodded one after another, and there was obviously a hint of helplessness in their tone.
They also have no way of expressing their grievances about one thing.
Then one of them immediately stood up and spoke.
"We don't know what happened. He disappeared for no apparent reason. We searched for him for a long time but couldn't find him."
"Yes, yes, and this incident happened very coincidentally, probably on the second day after the fire."
After hearing this, the butler's eyes naturally showed some fear.
He really didn't expect that all this would happen so coincidentally.
Many times, if too many things can come together, it means that this matter is definitely not simple.
It is precisely because of this that he felt a little strange in his heart.
"Then why didn't you tell me at the beginning?"
A hint of guilt appeared on those people's faces, and finally they lowered their heads deeply and spoke.
"It was mainly because a lot of things happened in the mansion during that period, and we didn't know whether we should tell them or not."
And at this moment, they seemed to have thought of something, and immediately turned their gaze to one of them and spoke.
"If we remember correctly, he was the one who asked us not to talk about this matter at first."
"Yes, yes, it's him, and he usually gets along well with that person."
Seeing that almost everyone's eyes were on him, he naturally shook his head immediately.
"It's not what you think. There was a reason why I did it in the first place."
