Everyone thought that the unknown singer would become the victim of the search for the master, but they did not expect that Pan Kai, who seemed to be quite clever and cautious, would instead become the one who was killed.
Everyone gathered at the door of Pan Kai's room. Ye Yunmei was calmly protecting the scene. Many people were frightened by the situation in the room. Pan Kai chose the bedroom on the third floor, but now the bedroom completely matched the scene of a murder. In such a state, you couldn't see the bed inside from the door, but you could see the blood stained on the wall. To be able to have blood sputtering in this way is definitely arterial damage.
Even among people with super powers, most people have never seen such a scene. Many people were so frightened that their legs weakened after just one glance at the door. However, Mr. Zhou stepped into the room without any discomfort.
"Sir, please don't enter the room." Ye Yunmei reminded.
"Can I contact the outside world?" Mr. Zhou asked.
"The message has been sent out, but the environmental conditions are now bad. Even if the police want to come, they have to wait until the snow stops. All we can do is shoot and protect the scene." Ye Yunmei said.
Lu Ning could hear people around her muttering about "Blizzard Villa" and the like, while Mr. Zhou shook his head gently: "In this case, can you guarantee that no other murders will happen next? I think everyone here Everyone knows that there is only one way to come to the villa, and there is always someone guarding the other end of the cable car. If no one has superpowers and can leave through other methods, the murderer must be among us."
"But Mr. Zhou doesn't know if anyone here has superpowers and can leave, right?" Meng Juan said with a smile, "To be more extreme, you can't even be sure if there is an outsider with superpowers who can come and go. He flew up from the mountain at night and floated away after killing people. This is not an ordinary detective. In the world of superpowers, everything is possible, right?"
"However, it is more likely that there is a murderer in the Red Plum Pavilion." Mr. Zhou said.
"I don't deny this, friend." Meng Juan said, "I'm just telling you, please don't use ordinary thinking logic to consider this murder. Now if anyone is not afraid, let's go in and take a look at poor Mr. Pan's body. A corpse."
Mr. Zhou, Meng Juan, the red-haired woman, Lu Ning and Michael all walked into the room.
"Miss Yan is also interested in such a scene?" Mr. Zhou asked when he saw the red-haired woman walking in.
"My ability is at least helpful in investigating the scene. If there is really a murderer hiding here, can I feel at ease?" The red-haired woman snorted coldly.
"What is this lady's ability?" Meng Juan asked, "If it would be helpful to the on-site investigation..."
"The echo of the undead." Miss Yan interrupted Meng Juan's words, "As long as there is a corpse, I can let the undead restore the scene of death. Do you think it will be useful?"
"Of course, of course..." Meng Juan noticed that the other party's attitude was not easy to mess with, and immediately put on a humble posture, but he quietly gestured under his hand, and Tang Ling followed him in. Lu Ning saw it.
But Tang Ling's ability is not of much use here. She can transform flesh and blood at will, and can even transform inorganic substances, but she cannot identify the ingredients in flesh and blood, let alone trace the scene at that time.
The situation in the room was very bloody. It was obvious that Pan Kai had a fierce fight with the murderer before he was murdered. A kitchen knife used as the murder weapon was thrown on the carpet in the room, and blood even sprayed on the handle of the knife. Pan Kai fell on the big bed in his room with more than a dozen stab wounds on his body. He was wearing a pair of pajamas, the ties had been cut from the fight and were now open. Lu Ning walked around the bed and saw that Pan Kai's cell phone had fallen under the bed and had been pierced by a knife. It must have been no longer usable.
"An acquaintance committed the crime." Mr. Zhou said coldly.
"How can you see it?" Meng Juan asked.
"The blood stains were concentrated around the bed and away from the front porch and window, indicating that the murder started some distance after entering the room. Pan Kai's clothes were only pajamas. This man was a bit arrogant, and most of the people here were mutually exclusive. If you don’t know each other, except for the servants, who would you meet with each other in pajamas?”
"That's not necessarily possible." Tang Ling said, "It's possible that someone followed him in. He could hide in the room and wait for an opportunity to suddenly come out and attack Pan Kai."
"There is no place to hide anyone in this house. It is at most the closet. But the blood stains obviously did not start from the closet." Mr. Zhou frowned.
"People here have super powers. They can shrink, change color, become invisible, and can hide themselves with any ability." Tang Ling sneered.
Lu Ning felt a few eyes on him from behind.
Mr. Zhou did not look at Lu Ning, but looked at Ye Yunmei in the room: "Ye Yunmei, can your ability be absorbed under the bed?"
"I can do this kind of thing, but are you doubting me? After finishing work last night, I returned to the servant's room. Ms. Jin can testify for me that the time was after eleven o'clock." Ye Yunmei said .
"Your mutual testimony is not credible unless...Mr. He Shanyong, did the maid lie just now?" Mr. Zhou turned to ask the strong man outside the door.
The strong man He Shanyong scratched his head: "My ability must be activated automatically. Can I ask her to say it again?"
"In that case, let's gather together to detect polygraphs later." Mr. Zhou snorted.
Then, the red-haired woman, Miss Yan, activated her ability. A crimson shadow appeared in the room, roughly outlining Pan Kai's appearance. He walked from the direction of the bathroom to the bed, straightened his pajamas, turned around, and immediately showed a look of surprise. Then he quickly looked around to see if there were any weapons around, but he was obviously not very successful. He picked up something from the bed and tried to fight. Judging from the position of his hand, it was a mobile phone, but the mobile phone obviously could not resist the sharp blade. Pan Kai was stabbed several times in a row, fell to the bed in panic, and was fatally shot in the neck. With a knife, the red shadow finally fell down and overlapped with the corpse on the bed.
"It seems that the body has not been moved." Miss Yan wiped the sweat from her head. It took a lot of energy to use her ability.
"There's nothing we can do to fight back. It's a pity that we can't see the image of the murderer." Mr. Zhou shook his head, "How did the murderer come in? Was he in the room before or did he break in when Pan Kai wasn't paying attention? Which one of us has the ability to pass through wall?"
"It's a pity that Mr. Pan's ability is only to control electrical appliances and cannot be used for combat. Otherwise, there might be some room for counterattack... There are no clues on this knife. It may have been too long..." Michael squatted down. On the ground, he used his ability on the kitchen knife, but the line formed by the dust only pointed at the body and the door, and did not extend outward.
"We have so many superpowers here, but we can't find any clues? I don't believe it!" Miss Yan turned to look at the door, "Which of you can still use your abilities in this area?"
Han Xuezhi and the short-haired white-collar woman each tested their abilities. Whether it was a kitchen knife or a picture of the corpse, it was what Pan Kai looked like when he was killed. There was no murderer drawn. Han Xuezhi also found no suspicious traces in the room.
Lu Ning didn't have the ability to use it, but she seemed to have more suspicious eyes on her, until someone really raised questions.
"I... remember yesterday, Lu Ning, this girl's ability can exempt her from detection! She has the ability to become invisible!"
It's that street singer.
"I didn't kill anyone." Lu Ning said flatly, "My lie detection ability can be tested. In the final analysis, we just need to let everyone say this sentence in turn and let Mr. He check it, right? Except for himself Except for self-verification, others can be verified.”
"The premise is that Mr. He is not the principal criminal or an accomplice." Meng Juan said with a smile.
He Shanyong quickly began to distinguish, but at this time everyone was confused and no one listened to what he said. People like the lady even refused to be lie-detected by He Shanyong.
"Everyone, I have another thing I'm curious about." Meng Juan quickly pressed his hand, "Everyone, if one of us wants to murder Mr. Pan, what is the motive? Most of us didn't know each other before. There’s no grudge between them, right?”
"I know!" the long-haired white-collar worker said immediately, "because he took the lead in trying to find the identity of the owner here! So the owner was afraid and murdered him first! The owner here is the murderer!"
"Can I take this as an accusation? Miss?" Feng Yuanxi said, "Although you are all distinguished guests, we cannot sit idly by if irresponsible accusations are made against our host."
The manager's tone suddenly became serious, and his demeanor immediately changed. The long-haired white-collar man said a few words and did not dare to continue.
"However, Mr. Pan seemed to have summoned a group of people yesterday, right? I saw someone using the conference room, and a lot of people came in." Meng Juan said with a smile, "I think it's probably because of the murder of people I don't know. There were some interactions. Was there any quarrel or unpleasantness at the meeting?"
"No, we had a good talk." Michael shook his head.
"Anyway, please preserve the scene. Manager Feng, can you please ask Ms. Jin to seal the door here and prohibit anyone from entering or exiting here. We still have to ensure our own safety before the police arrive." Mr. Zhou said.
"I understand." Feng Yuanxi bowed slightly, walked outside and whispered a few words to Jin Xiuqing, and then at Jin Xiuqing's signal, everyone left the room. Jin Xiuqing pressed his hand on the door frame. Three seconds later, a circle of frosted glass-like effect appeared on the door. Mr. Zhou tested it later and found that there seemed to be an air wall there, and nothing could pass through.
"Now, I hope everyone will cooperate and ask He Shanyong to conduct a polygraph test for everyone. To put it simply, there is only one sentence, [I did not kill anyone], very simple, right?" Mr. Zhou glanced around, "If anyone does not cooperate, He may be the murderer, and I won’t make it difficult for him. From then on until the police arrive, this person must stay in the room and accept everyone’s superpower control.”
"You...you are illegally detained!" the lady shouted loudly.
"I don't want to take the worst approach - to make the suspect lose the ability to commit crimes." Mr. Zhou's eyes suddenly became fierce, "I don't want to die here, so if you have any opinions, please feel free to ask me!"
Now no one has an opinion.
Lu Ning looked sideways at everyone's expressions and demeanor. Many people seemed a little nervous and many were reluctant, but Mr. Zhou's threat still had some effect. Of course, people like the music girl and Meng Juan have an indifferent attitude.
The test was completed quickly. He Shanyong tested everyone, and the final result was that everyone told the truth.
"No one here has killed anyone, not even the servants." He Shanyong said.
Mr. Zhou did not relax because of this: "How accurate is your ability? Are you sure?"
"Yes, for sure. My ability is that after it is activated, someone can intuitively hear the truth or falsehood of the sentence as long as it is consistent with the facts. But it is of no use to the type who can hypnotize himself to change his cognition, but there are such people here ?"
No one said anything, and in the end it was just an unhappy ending.
Lu Ning returned to the room and carefully recalled the scene and the results of various ability investigations. Superpower crimes are certainly more difficult to detect, but there appear to be more countermeasures to superpower detection. Even if Lu Ning committed the murder herself, she would not have the confidence to avoid being searched by this room of detective superpowers. However, this time the murderer actually did it.
The murderer must be familiar with the superpowers of everyone here, otherwise it would be impossible to accurately avoid everyone's detection methods. From this point of view, the owner here is indeed the most suspected one. As the inviter, Lu Ning does not believe that he knows nothing about the invitee's abilities.
Was Pan Kai murdered because he wanted to find out the identity of his master? The letter did not mention this matter, but Lu Ning believed that it was indeed possible. After all, this master might have gotten into some serious trouble, something more troublesome than killing people.
She glanced out the window and saw that the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier.

In Dong-Shuo Yue's room, the wandering singer held the flowers in his room and came to the window hesitantly.
"Everyone in that guy is dead, do I still want to throw flowers out?"
He is very talented in music, but his brain is not very good, and he has gradually become so depressed. He originally thought that this dance was an opportunity, but now it seems more like a disaster.
"Forget it, we must do what we promised."
He opened the window, and the wind and snow poured in, which made him excited. After cursing the weather, the wandering singer threw the flowers and pots out of the window.
Just when he was about to close the window, he suddenly saw a whirlpool in the swirling wind and snow outside. In the center of the whirlpool, a dim green eyeball was staring at him.
At that moment, he heard a sound.
