It took a long time for the flames surrounding the vehicles to slowly extinguish. Several small explosions in the middle made both vehicles unrecognizable. Even if you wanted to find any evidence, you probably wouldn't be able to find it. As for the four people who failed to get out of the car in time, they had already been burned to coke.
"Someone put a bomb in the car." Cynthia wiped the mud from her face. "The tires, the fuel tank. It might also be the ignition device. This tire burst abnormally."
"Murder, and anyone can do it this time." Gustav began to carefully examine the remaining vehicles. Many people have the opportunity to install bombs, and there are many ways to control them. Even if they are searched, it may not be easy to find direct evidence.
"No more." Gustav said after checking. "There is nothing wrong with the remaining cars."
"Then this is deliberate murder, not indiscriminate killing." Zhai Jingqiu said, "But even if Cynthia's car can be locked, how to determine which car is following? Since there are no bombs in other cars... …”
"Four are dead." Cynthia frowned, "And the identities of these four are quite important."
Including Lu Ning, who died in the morning, there is now only one Orlando left among the six professionals invited by Rennix.
"Let's go check on Dimitri's condition first. I'm very suspicious..."
Cynthia's suspicion was very reasonable, because when everyone arrived at the viewing hall, they also saw Dimitri's body hanging from the lamp stand. There was a slightly twisted smile on his face, as if he was mocking something. The nails between the hanging hands were filled with scraps of flesh and blood, as if they had desperately scratched the murderer before death. The shoes and socks on his feet were taken off, and two red inverted five-pointed stars were painted on the soles of his feet. The toenails were also ripped off, and the purple-black toes looked a bit scary.
"Sure enough, Dimitri is dead too." Cynthia said after seeing the body.
"Cynthia, have you guessed it a long time ago?" Yu Guiting asked.
"On the first day, my brother and sister were specially targeted. In other words, our tribe was specifically targeted. My own experience today and the deaths of the Lanewoods made me feel what the other party was targeting. Who is it? As for the deaths of Schlitt and Shinnomiya Asaka, it may just be a matter of suspicion."
"Including servants." Zhai Jingqiu has already walked around the upstairs, "And the people outside are not their targets, or they are just targets for confusion. I, Subobia, do not belong to the tribe. Mr. Jack was not killed, and I did not find Mr. Jack’s body.”
"Jack is missing?" Gustave asked.
"Yes, I found his room. The door is open and the quilt has been folded neatly. I'm afraid the person has disappeared."
"Then it's possible that he is the murderer." Cynthia snorted coldly.
"There's no need to draw such a direct conclusion..." Zhai Jingqiu frowned.
"Let's go check on Mayuri first. There are not many people left in my clan."
"No...it doesn't seem necessary." Subobia looked out the window.
A car stopped outside the door. Mayuri Daida and Takaya Kanzaki got out of the car. Mayuri Daida looked quite bad, as if she had been seriously ill. Takaya Kanzaki carefully helped her over.
"Everyone, we heard from the main building that you were looking for the two young masters, so we chased after them. I heard the explosion, you..." Kanzaki Takaya saw a few people with gray heads and faces in the middle of his words, and understood what happened. What's up.
"Who told you in the main hall that we are here?" Gustav asked.
"We met Lavender. He told us about the deaths in the main building today. You will also check the situation in these two places after checking the scene where Ms. Cynthia was attacked."
"Okay, Mayuri is fine. There are only two of us left among the relatives now." Cynthia nodded to her sister, "Now let's go back to the main building. The current situation requires some extraordinary measures. "
The so-called extraordinary means are the weapons collected in Rennix's mansion.
Rennix likes to collect all kinds of firearms, from classical to modern weapons. As long as it has characteristics, he will always collect one. Everyone can always find a handy weapon with enough bullets. After everyone freshened up, they came to the gun collection room.
"Don't choose a model that is too old. Although my father will perform regular maintenance on firearms, old firearms are always more likely to have problems." Cynthia warned.
"Yes, it's best not to just pursue power when using weapons, but also to use them smoothly." Gustav nodded, "For example, like this."
People did not see his movements clearly, they only saw the sound of the trigger pulling and the sound of the hammer firing.
He did have a gun!
"When you meet head-on, you don't need your guns to be more powerful, you just need to shoot faster than the other party." Gustav lowered his hands, and his palms naturally fell on the bulging position of his waist.
That's what he said, but everyone also knew that the murderer could make the murder scene look so weird, and the gun might not be enough to kill them. So except for Dolores and Mayuri Daida, who only chose less powerful pistols, the others all took weapons such as rifles and shotguns.

"So, Cynthia has been aware of this problem, and the guests have armed themselves, which is good." Rennix listened to Bayleaf's report in the room, "They were attacked on the mountain road? Really? What a pity...those people were obviously elites in the industry, but they died there."
"Sir, do you also think that the murderer wants to kill all your relatives?"
"Yes, after all, it is easy to target me when all the qualified heirs are dead. Cynthia is a very good child, and of course she is also a target. However, that attack on the mountain road should not be like this." Rennix said from the inkwell He pulled out a pen and a piece of parchment, "Of course Cynthia was the target of the attack, but the actual target should be the four dead people. Otherwise, since the murderer could detonate the car behind, the car in front could also be detonated. Detonate. Blow up tires instead of gas tanks, indicating that the murderer did not intend to kill Cynthia."
"This...Master, why?"
"Because the murderer is not the same person. Maybe it is true that Cynthia was attacked, but the person who planted the bomb later was probably not the murderer who prepared the crossbow mechanism. It was someone who took advantage of the situation and wanted to kill one of the four people in the car behind. Oh, maybe a few."
Bayleaf nodded slightly.
"Based on the crime scene you told me, among all the cases, only this vehicle explosion did not have any special circumstances. Therefore, the murderer this time is obviously different from before. Bayleaf, except for Daida that night Apart from Mayuri, how do the six people I selected correspond to each other?"
"Master Lanewood went to Mr. Tsuburayaji, Master Dimitri went to Dr. Lu, Miss Felicia went to Mr. Orlando, Master Ito went to Kuzumi Accountant, Mr. Huo Yinglong went to Ms. Watanabe, and Miss Cynthia I found Lawyer Han.”
"I believe that when my children find these people, they have some relatively private topics that need to be discussed. Because of this, after the accident, some topics may become a threat to themselves."
Rennix gently wrote bright red words on the paper with a pen.
"This is a precise murder, not a random killing. And such a murder can only be carried out after confirming the vehicle in which everyone is riding. Cynthia's performance today was quite strong and she was calm enough. Under her leadership Now, how many people will care about the poor girl next to her?"
"You mean..."
"This is just a guess, Bayleaf, and this guess has nothing to do with the truth you want to trace. I just remind you not to underestimate my child. At the same time, your chances of understanding that time are shrinking with the number of people. There will be fewer and fewer people telling stories... Do it as soon as possible. Rosemary is dead, and I remember that your relationship with her was actually the best, right?"
"yes."
"Give this note to Gustav for me." Renix shook the note in his hand, letting the red ink on it dry, rolled it up and handed it to Bay Leaf, "Remember not to let others see it. Contents above.”
"Understood." Bayleaf took the note and left.
Rennix lay back and looked out the window at the rising moon.
Visitors can level up by acquiring the legacy of Rennix Howard.
If Lennix Howard does not die, there will be no legacy, so Lennix is the one who must die.
He needs to arrange his death properly.
"It's sunny...no, it's just that the moon is too low."

The atmosphere in the main building was not very good.
Weapons do not bring people a sense of security, they can only make people more nervous. Everyone carries a pistol of their own choice. When they go out and meet people, they will subconsciously hold the handle of the gun before saying hello. Except for well-informed people like Gustave, Justina, and Orlando, no one else has ever experienced such a scene.
"That does not work."
At dinner time, everyone gathered in the restaurant, and Gustav stood up again.
"Your spirits are too tense. People cannot stay awake in such a tense environment. Once the strings in your brains break, you will probably use the weapons at hand to fire at the first person you encounter."
"I'm sorry, but we... look like everyone is a murderer." Kanzaki Takaya apologized repeatedly.
"Everyone has decided to catch the murderer in the main building, so the first thing to prevent is civil strife. Once someone breaks the fire, he will be immediately considered to be the murderer. In this environment, it is extremely dangerous for someone else to suddenly kill the murderer. It may happen. In this way, a chain of tragedies will occur." Gustav said seriously, "Everyone thinks they are innocent, including the murderer. As long as they attack the first attacker, everyone can have legal rights. reasons, but this way you can never tell who the bad guy is.”
"I agree." Cynthia nodded and said, "I don't want to just walk into the corridor and someone suddenly shoots me. I let everyone use weapons at will, not to make the situation more chaotic, but to let everyone face it. The murderer has a way of defending himself.”
"So, it's better to use guns after you have a good foundation. When you encounter problems, you should call them out as soon as possible. At least everyone is here in the main hall now. No matter where they are, it won't take us two minutes to rush over." Orlando explain.
"Yes, we will also be patrolling the corridors all the time." Jasmine said, "Rosemary and Angelica are both good people to everyone, and we also hope to find who is the murderer."
"I agree too." Mayuri Daida whispered, "But don't enter my room casually, I will really fight back subconsciously! I will..."
"We will knock on the door, but are you and Kanzaki Takaya really not living with us? Now is not the time to pursue living conditions." Cynthia asked.
"No, no, I...I'm scared."
"Okay. Mr. Gustave, who do you think the murderer is most likely to target tonight?" Cynthia turned around and asked again.
"Judging from the victims in the past two days, the murderer's main targets are obviously the Howard family and the professionals specially invited by Rennix. Therefore, the main targets tonight are obviously you, Mayuri Daida and Orlando Three gentlemen. In addition, they should also be interested in Rennix. Rennix and I are old friends, and he can also prevent ordinary assassinations. It’s just that what happened on the island in the past two days is too strange, and I am not Pretty sure," Gustav said.
"I want to ask a question." Yu Guiting said.
"Speaking."
"We haven't caught a single murderer so far, right?" Yu Guiting gestured, "So among the remaining people at the scene, is it possible that there are almost as many murderers as good people?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became tense again.
"I can't be the murderer. Even if I were, it would be for revenge." Subbia snorted coldly, "Of course I can't let go of the person who killed Felicia. As for you-"
"Don't be so murderous. In my opinion, the situation is not that bad." Lian Qingyi comforted Subobia with a smile, "Although someone died last night, compared to the eight deaths on the first day, The number of deaths last night was actually only five. Even if we include the missing two people, Kagabo and Jack, it was still less than the first day. In other words, the efficiency of those who kill people at night has dropped. I don’t think this is the case. It is said that people still need to rest, and it is more likely that these people actually killed each other."
"You mean that there is not a relationship of assistance between the murderers, but also mutual hatred?" Cynthia asked.
"Hahaha, I think so. If everyone admits that they are very capable of killing, they need to explain the factors that reduce the number of people. If there are many murderers, it is inevitable that they will have conflicts with each other. If, as Mr. Yu said, we have already reached that point. If we are outnumbered, we can directly attack directly after getting the weapons. In one afternoon today, we may have been killed."
