This time no one answered Zhai Jingqiu's words. As soon as Lenwood, who was more willing to take charge, died, the crowd that had been barely united before immediately became obviously divided.
"I didn't hear anything." Huo Yinglong finally spoke, "That's what we want to ask. There are many magicians and people with sharp eyes and ears present. You should be alert when sleeping at night. So how do people Were they killed without a sound? Even if we don't discuss who the murderer is, look at the way those people died——"
It will almost always cause a hugely painful death. As long as it is not fatal instantly, there will definitely be a struggle. At least the cry for help can always be heard, right?
"Leonwood can do magic...and he is the head of the family. Ordinary magicians cannot fight against him." Milia suddenly stood up, unable to restrain the sad look on her face, "It is absolutely impossible to kill him with magic. No way, like, like dad! So it’s something else!"
"Do you want to say a person with abilities?" Dimitri looked at Milia, "Like you?"
Milia's face turned pale instantly.
"Brother showed me your ability. Superpowers do exist in the world. It doesn't seem to be the same system as magic." Dimitri said in a cold tone, "So I don't know... what are the specific superpowers? What can you do? But because you are Lanewood’s wife, I believe you. At this point, can you say something? "
"You doubt me?"
"After all, you are the only person with superpowers that I know." Dimitri was a little aggressive, "And there were only four of us at the time. Now that Enwood has died, and Jack has died, will it be the next one's turn? Me?"
Under tremendous mental pressure, many people's judgments have begun to become extreme. Perhaps this is what Watanabe Fuchiko calls "crazy value." However, Lu Ning didn't want the island to get out of control so quickly.
"I think it is best for those who have connections not to hold each other accountable, otherwise it will probably turn into an argument. Mr. Dimitri, don't forget the family rules."
"I haven't forgotten, so I'm just questioning." Dimitri took a deep breath, "But you're right, doctor, I should calm down...tsk."
"Everyone, does everyone on night duty find someone dead in their room when they wake up during the day?" Lu Ning asked.
Everyone nodded in confirmation.
"So according to everyone's thoughts, should the murderer be the person in the room, or am I the only one who didn't live with everyone last night?" Lu Ning asked.
"Are you trying to put the suspicion on yourself?" Compared to Miria, Arisa Saotome looked calm, "With all due respect, even if you, doctor, did kill someone, you would only kill one or two at most. One. Use six methods to kill six people in front of our eyes at night. If you have such methods, we are afraid that we will all die."
"Oh? What do you think, madam?"
"It's very simple. I think the people who killed yesterday were definitely not a group of people." Arisa Saotome looked at everyone coldly, "So everyone is equally suspected. Some people killed different people separately, and they did Hidden, no one will notice. These people... huh, I'm afraid they encountered something yesterday that forced them to take action."
"Then, who are the murderers? Why do so many people want to kill people?" Schriter was so scared that he shrank on the sofa.
"I don't know about others, but didn't Watanabe Fuchiko leave a death message?" Arisa Saotome raised her hand fiercely, "The gesture she made before she died was to hold the violin in one hand and pinch it with the other. Does it look like a piano bow? Shinmiya Qianxia!"
】
After about five seconds, the confused violinist turned his head slightly and made a confused sound: "Huh?"
"There's no point in pretending to be stupid. Watanabe Fuchiko has already hinted that you killed her! Even if you have some secret killing methods, you can't get up and play with the body, so you can't stop her from leaving a death message, right? ?”
Xingong Qianxia looked confused. She raised her hand and looked at her own hand before saying, "Her posture is not the standard one for holding the piano and bow."
"Are you defending yourself?" Huo Yinglong frowned and said, "This is not a strong counterattack. Watanabe Fuchiko is not a violin student, and she cannot pose in such a professional manner."
"But it doesn't necessarily look like a violin." Zhai Jingqiu said.
"Really?" Arisa Saotome glanced at Zhai Jingqiu and stopped refuting.
This does not mean that he agrees with Zhai Jingqiu's statement, but that there is no longer a trusting relationship.
"I think there is nothing wrong with Lanewood's thinking." Felicia said, "Now that we are in the open and the murderer is hiding in the dark, what we need to do is to save our lives. It is for this reason that Lanewood will We all come together and try to protect everyone by monitoring each other, but that path doesn't seem to be working at the moment."
"So? Do you want to suggest that everyone should mind their own business?" Huo Yinglong asked.
"Of course! I think everyone can protect themselves in the way they are best at. The magician's agreement now seems to only restrain us and cannot prevent the killing at all. Then in turn, we can each arrange our own positions. If Anyone who dares to break in will be killed without mercy!" Felicia said immediately.
"It's really in line with your character." Cynthia snorted, "But I don't object."
"I don't have any objection either." Dimitri wiped his face vigorously.
"Wait, before that, I think there is something else that should be resolved!" Milia suddenly spoke again to stop everyone.
"What's up?"
"The awl on Mayuri! Didn't you see it? It's the same style as the one that killed my father! Someone took it out of my father's room!"
This is indeed the second awl. The first one is still on Rennix's body, and this one is indeed the one taken out again from the box. There are only six awls in the box now.
And this situation made everyone feel more and more uneasy.
No one would think that the awl would only kill members of the Howard family, because the other two victims last night, Lanewood and Yin Tengjun, did not have awls pierced into their bodies, so there were already two fewer places. Even if you add Miria and Arisa Saotome, the number is just right. However, who dares to bet on such an unfounded thing?
"It looks like we have to put this thing away." Orlando closed the box again and locked it. "Even if it's just for prevention, we have to stop someone from using this to kill people again."
"Humph, even if you don't have this, if you really want to kill people, you can't just pick up a knife from the kitchen?" Kajiabo said displeased.
"That's not necessarily true. Now it seems that using an awl to kill people has a certain purpose. It is at least a sense of ritual for serial murderers and will not be given up easily." Zhai Jingqiu shook his head.
"That means we can actually use this thing to catch the murderer?" Arisa Saotome asked.
"Yes, it's probably possible. Even if the murderer is here and hears it now, I'm afraid he will think it is a provocation to him... This is based on my judgment based on some experience." Zhai Jingqiu said.
"Okay, then leave this box for me to keep." Arisa Saotome stretched out her hand to Orlando.
Many people were a little surprised.
"Mrs. Yin Teng, I know you are eager for revenge now, but...this thing is not something that ordinary people can keep well!" Lian Qingyi said hurriedly, "You also know that the murderer will get this thing. If you become an obstacle, It’s not impossible to be killed casually…”
"I want to see how this murderer killed me so casually." Arisa Saotome frowned, "Nothing happened to Dr. Lu yesterday, which proves that this murderer may not be that powerful."
"Haha, it's up to each person to be strong or not... forget it." Dimitri shook his head, "I didn't come to Enwood, and I don't intend to force you all to live together. Since everyone has their own plans, I only have One request is that everyone should come to the main hall to gather at noon every day, and let us know that everyone is still alive. There are enough supplies in the museum, and the next ship to pick us up will be October 15th. This storm is probably over. Until then, everyone should save their own lives."
"If Lanewood is still alive, I'm afraid he will say that he made a mistake." Milia stared at Dimitri, "As the temporary head of the family, you actually..."
"Milia, you shouldn't regard Lanewood and I as the same kind of people. I respect you very much. I know that after you married your eldest brother, you have devoted yourself to running the Howard family's industry as your own responsibility. You Treat yourself as a member of the family and have a strong sense of honor... But you also have to respect me. I prefer sunshine, adventure and free air, rather than slowly rotting away on a dark and private island. .”
After saying this, Dimitri scratched his hair.
"I have canceled the punishment of the family rules. You can do whatever you want. Don't hold it back."
After saying that, he turned around, took an umbrella and left the hall.
"This guy actually gave up his responsibilities like this..." Orlando shook his head in disappointment.
Unexpectedly, Cynthia sneered: "Abandoning responsibility? Mr. Orlando, you'd better not think of Dimitri so lightly. Among our brothers and sisters, he is the best in terms of acting skills."
"Since Dimitri is not going to take care of these things, then you should just ask for your own blessings." Felicia shook her head, "Although you are guests of the Howard family, we cannot protect ourselves from the current situation. Not to mention ensuring everyone’s safety.”
"Felicia, isn't it a good idea to say this..." Subbia reminded in a low voice.
"In this case, concealment is irresponsible to everyone. We really have no ability to assist everyone. All the servants are dead and the temporary head of the family is not here. Please forgive me." Felicia said.
At this time, Lu Ning looked around.
"Speaking of which...where is Yin Asong? Where is he?"
"Yin Asong was locked in the cabinet in the room by us." Orlando replied, "The binding was strong, and his magic book was also given to the Lanewood team for safekeeping. I saw it this morning and he was still tied up. Yes, still sleeping."
"It's better to ask him." Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "Since he was turned into a devil worshiper by Mr. Rennix, maybe his position is also very crucial."
"I'll go with you." Orlando looked at the others. Only Huo Yinglong and Zhai Jingqiu wanted to go together.
The four men went to pull the man out of the closet, and Orlando tore off the gag. Yin Asong had already woken up and saw several people approaching with a look of horror on his face.
"We won't hide it from you either." Huo Yinglong knelt down and reached out to pat Yin Asong's face. "Except for this room, there are dead people in other rooms, six dead. As for you, I don't care what you did yesterday. Whether you have killed someone or whether you have a magic book hidden in your body, I am just warning you that there are many dangerous people on the island. If you cooperate with us, you will still have a chance to live. If you don't cooperate..."
"How can I trust you! You-"
Card!
Huo Yinglong punched back, his fingers piercing the surface of the hardwood cabinet, and Kacha broke off a piece of wood with a sound.
"If you don't cooperate, you will definitely not survive. I can kill you right now. Don't believe it. I have killed people before. Whether I accidentally killed someone or intentionally killed someone, I know my skills. I will punch you." There’s absolutely no problem wearing them in pairs.”
Yin Asong's lips trembled, and finally asked: "What do you want to know?"
Huo Yinglong turned to look at Lu Ning and said, "Doctor, how about I ask first? I may know more about magic here."
"Please, I'm just curious." Lu Ning said.
"Thank you." Huo Yinglong reached out and grabbed Yin Asong's collar, lifted him up, and threw him on the floor that had not been put away in the morning.
Yin Asong twisted uneasily, but Huo Yinglong was not in a hurry. Instead, he searched inside the room and finally took a bronze decoration from the cabinet.
"Jingqiu, help me take notes. Mr. Orlando, please keep an eye on the door. Doctor Lu, if you feel you need to add anything, feel free to speak up."
After saying that, he sat down next to Yin Asong in a dignified manner, with the decoration on his hand pointed at his hand.
"Don't lie, kid." Huo Yinglong stared at him, "Recite to me exactly what my father said when he gave you that magic book."
"He...he said, 'With this, your wish can come true, as long as you can afford the price.'" Yin Asong said in horror.
Huo Yinglong tapped the back of his hand with the decoration: "Are you still not clear-headed? What I want is the cause and effect, just tell me a word? My patience is very limited, and you only have one chance left. "
Yin Asong felt the cold edges and twitched with fright: "I know! I know! I was looking for a flower and Mr. Rennix knew about it! He told me that he could help me find the flower. Flower, and I also want to do something for him! I thought it was no problem and came to the island..."
Lu Ning was listening to Yin Asong's words and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the previous summary.
If music and painting are arts that require high inspiration, then can gardening, which involves cultivating flowers and plants, and cooking, which involves cooking delicious food, also be considered arts? In terms of the need for inspiration and skill, there is actually no difference between them.
