The morning begins with a cry of mourning.
"Maybe we have to get used to this."
Watanabe Fuchiko slowly covered Lu Ning's body with sheets.
Bay Leaf and Jasmine lowered Rosemary from the crude cross and closed her eyes that could not be closed.
"I really didn't expect that the doctor would become a target. Maybe someone saw a threat to her during yesterday's autopsy." Yu Guiting sighed, "At dawn, two bodies were found. It seemed that they were not calm. It’s daytime.”
"We can actually ask... the psychic Makailov." Kuzumi Heizhen suggested, "Maybe he can see how many people die every day? If you think about it, his ability is quite good for a murderer. Those who are threatening will probably be targeted, right?”
"But nothing happened to Mr. Makelov." Lavender said, "He also accepted the breakfast I sent this morning, but he looked more scared."
"How are the children in Rennix?" Yu Guiting asked again.
Last night, Zhai Jingqiu and Subobia stayed in the main house, and the others returned to the annex. However, they also agreed that they would come to the main hall as soon as possible today to report that they were safe. The rain had stopped. Although the sky was still overcast, at least the weather was much better than the previous one.
At this time, Gustave, Lian Qingyi and Justina came down from upstairs.
"Renix said he won't leave the house today, and the meals will be delivered to him in the room." Gustav said to Lavender. Lavender nodded quickly to show that she understood.
"Who died last night?" Gustav asked immediately.
"Now that the bodies of Dr. Lu Ning and Rosemary have been found, we are preparing to see the conditions of the others." Yu Guiting said.
"Then let's move together."
At this time, Zhai Jingqiu walked out of the corridor on the second floor: "The disheveled man did not respond."
His complexion has returned to normal, and he seems to have recovered somewhat from the death of his friend. He now clearly regards catching the murderer as his most important task. After waking up today, he started to check the doors of several residents. Unexpectedly, he encountered a problem with the first one.
"Mr. Kajabo's schedule is not very regular, and he usually doesn't answer the door. He will do whatever he needs by himself," Lavender said.
"Usual times are normal, now is the time, open the door and see if anyone is still there." Zhai Jingqiu said forcefully.
Lavender had no choice but to take out her universal key and go upstairs to open Kagabo's door.
The situation inside made everyone slightly shocked. The house was in a mess, and a lot of sticky soup was even poured on the ground, giving the whole house a weird smell. The crucible used to boil the potion was knocked to the ground, and the potion bottle also fell to the ground. Some of it was broken. No one was seen in the room, but specks of blood could be seen on the walls.
"There was...a fight in this place?" Lavender cautiously blocked the door.
"We still can't determine what it is. Let's seal off the scene first and ask people nearby if they heard anything last night. Logically speaking, there must be some noise when the scene is like this."

Zhai Jingqiu himself wasn't too sure. After all, he stayed in the room next to him yesterday and didn't hear anything. Is the soundproofing here that good?
Except for Lu Ning, Rosemary, Kajabo, and Rennix, who claimed that he would not go downstairs, the rest of the people living in the main building quickly gathered together. Although Makailov was asked about today's death toll, he began to hesitate and hesitated to speak.
"I don't want to be next! This island is full of death! Every one of you! You, you, you, you, you all smell of death! Do you want to kill me? Because you yourself are To die!"
Makailov's behavior was almost crazy, and everyone could only give up questioning him.
At half past eight, the door to the hall was opened. Cynthia walked in with a sullen face, protecting Delores with one hand.
"Both Lenwood and Dimitri are not here? Are they dead?" she asked in a very calm tone.
Everyone noticed some blood on her arm, Jasmine hurriedly ran to get the medical kit, while Cynthia helped the panicked Delores sit down on the sofa.
"What happened, Miss Cynthia?" Yu Guiting asked with concern.
"We were attacked on the road. Were you all in the hall just now?" Cynthia glanced around coldly.
"Yes, everyone thinks it's safer to stay together." Kuzumi Heizhen replied.
"Hmph, I did not see the attacker, but I didn't find the mechanism. After all, Delores' safety is still the most important thing." Cynthia opened the torn place in her clothes and asked Jasmine who came back to give it to her. The wound was bandaged with medicine, "The one who attacked us was a crossbow arrow, which directly penetrated the car window. Which of you came to the island with a crossbow arrow or something like that?"
"No one has checked their luggage. But it would be difficult to hit a moving car with a crossbow machine, right? After all, it's not human beings who aim." Lian Qingyi said, stroking his beard.
"Then check it out. After all, it doesn't take much time." Cynthia glanced at everyone with a suspicious look, "Assembling the crossbow and arrows is not small. Even if you take them out in advance, your luggage will be empty. It’s easy to find out.”
"Ms. Cynthia, instead of going to such trouble, let's go back and take a look at the attack scene. If so many of us go there together, the person who made the sneak attack will not dare to act rashly. If there is a mechanism, it is estimated that there will be no time to dismantle it in such a short time. " said Orlando.
"Okay." Cynthia nodded, and stood up after the arm straps were tied, "Delores still followed me. After checking the scene, she took the opportunity to see Enwood and Dimitri. There’s also the situation of Mayuri Shiroda.”
"It's better to leave a few people here in the main house." Tsuburaya Temple said carefully.
"Then let the servants stay." Cynthia nodded to Jasmine, "They are more tired than us, so don't let them participate in today's action. Where is father?"
"Mr. Rennix said he would stay behind closed doors today," Yu Guiting said.
"Humph, forget it, let's go with me now, don't waste time."
In the absence of most family members, Cynthia quickly became the core of everyone's actions. She drove the car and led a group of people back to the scene of the incident quickly.
This section of the road goes down the hillside and passes through a forested area. The trees are not as dense as those at the Museum of Spectacles. If someone walks through it, they will definitely be able to see it. Since the crossbow arrow shot directly through the glass, no trace was left on the ground. After Cynthia got out of the car, she immediately led her men to outflank the direction where the crossbow arrows came from, and soon found the damaged crossbow in the forest.
"Is it really an institution?"
"And it's a self-destruction type. It seems that the person who set up the mechanism has already prepared it..."
While people were talking about it, Lian Qingyi suddenly stepped forward and carefully examined the condition of the crossbow, then touched his beard and said, "It's not quite right!"
"What?" Cynthia asked.
"How is this mechanism triggered? And how is it aimed? There is no guarantee that the speed of your car will pass through, but it can be 100% aimed at your position? How does this thing look like a mystery array that has been arranged in advance... Ha, that's right. There’s just no way to restore it, otherwise I guess it wouldn’t be triggered at all.”
"Mr. Lian, what you mean is that the person who fired the crossbow is still a human being, not an agency?" Gustave asked.
"Yes, that's what I think." Lian Qingyi said with a smile, "In other words, the people we left in the house are indeed not suspected. The person who attacked Miss Cynthia is probably..."
"Let's go check the situation first." Cynthia was not provoked, "The place where Enwood and Dimitri live is not far from here."
Everyone first went to the meeting hall on the top of the mountain, where Enwood lived. In fact, the eldest son of the Howard family has not been to the main hall for such a long time, which already makes people feel a little bad, but now it is just confirmed.
Lanewood and Milia were wearing formal clothes and sitting at the table in the living room on the first floor, with a book spread out in front of them. Lanewood's head dropped downwards, and a steel drill penetrated downwards from the back of the head and came out from the lower part of the neck. The blood on it had dried. And Milia's head tilted back, her entire neck seemed limp, unable to support her head at all, and her cervical vertebrae had been completely shattered.
The two had been dead for some time, and body spots had appeared on their bodies. Watanabe Fuchiko's autopsy skills were not as good as Lu Ning's, and the inspection of the scene could not find any evidence that could point to the murderer. The source of the steel drill might be the warehouse, but it was not immediately clear where it was obtained.
The death scene was as weird as ever. The death conditions of both people are not acceptable to normal people. But after yesterday, everyone was more or less numb, and none of the scenes of the deceased were normal.
"Take a photo of the scene and see how Dimitri is doing." Cynthia was very calm about her brother's death. It would be better to say that there was not much sadness in their relationship.
The viewing hall where Dimitri lives goes down the mountain. This time Cynthia was still taking the lead. In addition to Delores, there were Justina and Yu Guiting in her car. Cynthia arranged this intentionally. After getting on the bus this time, she quickly asked: "Boy, did anything happen at the main hall last night?"
"I didn't hear anything. I only knew that Lu Ning and Rosemary were dead in the morning, and the circumstances of their death were very strange. Later, Mr. Zhai Jingqiu found that Kajiab's room was in a mess and people were missing." Justin Na said, "Having said all that, I actually didn't see the scene. Everyone who found the body has put it away. Maybe Mr. Yu knows more?"
"Haha, I don't know much. After all, it's not my job to break up the eucalyptus and find the murderer. I can say something about the situation of the two corpses in the main museum. Rosemary was hung up. The murderer must have been a cruel and vicious person. The body of Dr. Lu Ning was a little weird, her lips were blue, As if she was killed by poison, we also found a pinprick on her wrist. But there was also an obvious wound on her throat. The amount of bleeding made it difficult to tell whether it was before life or after death. In addition, there were burnt black marks on her heart. Traces of electric shock and severe stimulation to the heart may also be the cause of death. Not only that, we also found traces of being punctured by a needle-like sharp instrument on the top of her head, but the blood hole was blocked, as if she was deliberately giving We found the same thing, the blockage is very conspicuous.”
"...I think they are also aware of the role these two people played yesterday. The death of Enwood may also be due to the same reason. I am afraid there are several murderers among us, and the two of them are also my comparison. I will speak frankly to those I trust." Cynthia said calmly, "I think we should take the initiative. Now it is no longer a matter of moral sense. If we want to survive, we must eliminate all suspects. .”
"Exclusion? Haha, this requires considerable awareness." Yu Guiting laughed twice.
"I was attacked by a crossbow, which means my life has been recorded in their account. If that's the case, why should we be polite?"
"Cynthia, who do you suspect? When you were attacked just now, everyone was in the main hall..." Justina asked.
"Only Lian Qingyi can understand that agency, but he can also lie. Since the murderer is not the same person, it is feasible to cooperate with each other to cover up. I-"
Before Cynthia could finish her words, a muffled sound suddenly came from underneath the car. She hurriedly grabbed the steering wheel, used her years of driving experience to control the deviating body, drove the car into the mud next to it, and stopped the car.
But just as the car stopped, the same thing happened to the car behind it. It lost control due to a flat tire and hit this side. Cynthia turned over and blocked Delores from under her. At the same time, she reached out and held Delores out. The car door on Loris' side opened.
"Get down quickly——"
Bang!
The two cars collided with each other. Thanks to the driver of the car behind him who was also trying to slow down, the collision was not that violent. Cynthia hugged Delores and rolled into the mud, while Yu Guiting also protected Justina and ran out of the car. At this moment, Cynthia smelled the smell of burning oil.
"Hurry up and run!" Yu Guiting yelled, carrying Justina and running behind the tree. Cynthia also hurriedly followed with Delores, but the speed of running is limited after all, Cynthia just ran A few meters away, I heard an explosion behind me. She immediately pushed Dolores behind the nearest tree, then fell forward into the mud, wrapping her head with clothes.
The high temperature of the flames burned her back, and something hit her body. Fortunately, it was not the fragments that were directly blown out, but some that fell after being thrown high. She was lucky enough that no large parts hit her, and some sparks He was quickly extinguished by the mud all over his body.
The cars behind had stopped one after another. After the explosion, Gustav and others got out of the car, bypassed the two burning cars, pulled out Cynthia from the mud and dragged several people to safety.
"Cough, cough, whose car is that?" Yu Guiting asked while wiping the mud on his face.
Gustav glanced over and saw that no one got out of the car behind.
"Lawyer Han, Mr. Kuzumi, Mr. Tsuburayaji, and Ms. Watanabe."
