Deep darkness descended on the castle, depriving everyone of their vision. Zhang Yuanqing was shocked to find that the Night Walker's talent for penetrating the darkness had lost its effect at this moment. His eyes were pitch black and he could not see anything.
"Dark Night" is not a dark night in the conventional sense. It is a mandatory seal that seals all skills, including passive ones.
He instinctively leaned his back against the wall, assumed a defensive posture, and opened the inventory at the same time... Only then did he remember that the inventory and attribute interface were restricted and could not be opened.
"Then we have to fight for our character. It's not me who dies, it's not me who dies..." He muttered in his heart, and almost said God bless him, Buddha bless him.
It's not that Zhang Yuanqing is afraid of death, but that he feels that only if he lives can he be sure to break the case, and he can't trust anyone else.
There was no movement in the darkness, and time passed quietly. After two or three minutes, the night receded, light poured in, and the vision changed from pitch black to green darkness, and then to dawn.
"Who died?" Zhang Yuanqing quickly looked around.
Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, Zhai Cai, Tianxiaguihuo...the faces of his teammates came into his eyes one by one, and finally, his eyes fell on the floor.
Brother Red Rooster lay straight on the ground, stiff and died in the night.
Is it Brother Red Rooster who died? Fortunately among the misfortunes... Zhang Yuanqing's heart dropped. Instead of feeling sad, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Zhai Cai and others also discovered that Brother Hongji had collapsed in the night, and they all showed happy expressions of "It's okay, it's okay."
The one who was sacrificed was Brother Red Rooster, which meant that no one died and there was zero loss.
Zhai Cai quickly approached, squatted down and checked, and found that Brother Hongji had no wounds on his body, his expression was peaceful, and he looked like he had died without regrets.
"Fortunately, the deceased will not affect the overall situation!" Shan Chuan Knight first breathed a sigh of relief, and then his face became solemn: "I think the murderer who killed the owner of the castle was not a witch, because the witch's killing method is forced death, and the owner of the castle has Two fatal wounds."
"Not necessarily!" Tianxia Guihuo was the first to object: "Yalance's internal organs were eaten when she was in a coma or after death. If she died of the witch's revenge in advance, would it be reasonable?"
The two looked at each other. Zhai Cai frowned and looked at Zhang Yuanqing: "What do you think?"
"As far as the current situation is concerned, there are two directions for investigation. First, the witch is the murderer, and our task is to find her real name. Second, the murderer is among us. The existence of the witch is a huge threat and increases the number of cases. difficulty, but not a murderer."
Zhang Yuanqing's logic was clear. He pointed to the open door and said: "Master Dong's door can only be opened by this character. In other words, we can never open Brother Hongji's room. The part of the clues that belongs to him has been Lost forever.”
"The most important thing now is not to discuss who the murderer is, but to use the points on hand to get as many clues as possible for the team."
After speaking, he pushed open the door of Master Dong's room: "Let's see what clues there are inside first."
The team members followed him into the room. The tables, chairs, and beds in the room showed the simplicity unique to the Middle Ages. After some rummaging, they found a black wooden box in the room; a letter written by Yalansi to Master Dong. A letter; a piece of parchment with intricate incantations.
The content of the letter is consistent with Zhang Yuanqing's character information. It is a letter asking for help.
Zhang Yuanqing stared at the parchment and frowned slowly: "It seems to be a spiritual compilation formation for refining spiritual servants. It is different from the traditional spiritual compilation. It should be a formation created by ancient practitioners based on the spiritual seal... I I seem to understand why Master Dong covets the witch sealed by the Lance family. The witch has a high level of inspiration, has a very yin constitution, and is a born top-notch spiritual servant."
Zhai Cai looked him up and down: "You are not the Night Wandering God, how do you know this is a spiritual formation diagram!"
Zhang Yuanqing said without changing his expression: "Knowledge can be learned and knowledge can be accumulated."
With that said, he handed the parchment to Sun Miaomiao, as if letting professionals comment.
"It is indeed a formation derived from Lingzhuan." Sun Miaomiao pretended to give an appraisal.
Zhang Yuanqing didn't want to continue to struggle with the array diagram, so he opened the wooden box. There was an ice-withered pen lying in the wooden box. According to the inlaid pen holder at the bottom of the wooden box, there should have been two ice pens in the box.
One of the pens disappeared.
At this time, a prompt sounded in Zhang Yuanqing's ears: [Ding! Your character's exclusive skills are activated! 】
[Fu Pin Pen: Can be used for divination, one use requires 60 points (not public)]
Character-specific skills... Zhang Yuanqing immediately recalled the character information of Master Dong. He was a mage who was good at bringing order to chaos. In addition, he felt strange before that there was a note after Master Dong’s role information: it can be made public!
Since there is something to disclose, there must be something "not to be disclosed". Sure enough, the guess came true.
"Hey, a pen made of ice..." Sun Miaomiao came over, "Does it have item properties?"
Zhang Yuanqing picked up the pen, waited for a few seconds, shook his head and said: "There is no item information."
"I'm looking at the loach." Sun Miaomiao took the ice pen. After a few seconds, she put the pen back into the box in frustration: "There is no information, so what's the use of this pen? There are no clues in your room."
Zhai Cai's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Who said there is no clue, where is the other pen?"
Tianxiaguihuo suddenly woke up and said in a hurried tone: "Do you still remember the fatal wound on the chest of the owner of the castle? I said at the time that the color of the blood was wrong and it seemed to have been diluted by water."
Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang reacted instantly. "The murderer is Master Dong?"
Sun Miaomiao examined Zhang Yuanqing and reasoned: "The injury on the castle owner's chest was caused by the ice pen. The pen melted, so the blood in the chest seems to have been diluted."
Emperor Zhao Cheng said "Hmm": "The owner of the castle wrote in his notes that Master Dong Tianshi coveted the taboos of the Lance family, and he had the motive to commit murder."
Everyone looked at Zhang Yuanqing.
Unable to refute... Zhang Yuanqing thought carefully for a moment and found that Master Dong did have a motive and ability, and there was also physical evidence.
It is difficult to say that the death of Ya Lansi has nothing to do with Master Dong.
At this time, Zhai Cai said: "But the window on the deceased's chest is more like a sharp weapon like a big sword, and the ice pen cannot create such a wound."
The excitement of Return to Fire in the World subsided slightly. He recalled it and nodded: "That's true. The wound on the deceased's chest was caused by two weapons. Now that the ice pen has been found, there is no big sword in Master Dong's room. That is, Said, there is another suspect."
"The scope of the murderer has been narrowed, which is a good thing." Zhang Yuanqing put the ice pen back into the box and said: "Monroe, who likes to eat offal, and Master Dong, who covets the taboos of the Lance family, as long as they find the owner of the big sword, the three perpetrators will We’ve found them all, it’s easier to identify the murderer from three people than from six people.”
He didn't mention the matter because it was information that could not be made public.
This kind of information that clearly warns you that "not to be disclosed" is best kept in your stomach without telling anyone, or even hinting at it. In a difficult copy, you must not be smart, because there is no room for error.
Zhang Yuanqing has already treated "Mysterious Castle" as a copy.
"It's a pity that Brother Red Rooster is dead. We will never be able to enter his room."
Sun Miaomiao frowned and said, "With one less clue about the suspect, I wonder if it will affect the final determination of the murderer."
"Find your room first and collect all the clues. This situation like the stupid fire master cannot happen again." Zhai Cai directed everyone to act quickly.
Everyone rushed out of the room. Zhai Cai was the first to find his room, spent ten points to open the door, and immediately greeted his teammates; "My room is open."
Zhang Yuanqing and others all ran over and entered the tutor Daniel's room.
After passing through the entrance hall, everyone was immediately attracted by a cross sword standing on the wall.
The sword was about ten centimeters wide and 1.5 meters high. The cross hilt was made of pure silver. "Uh..." Zhai Cai touched her nose, "So I am the last suspect? Why is there a big sword in the family doctor's room?"
He walked to the wall and picked up the big sword. Then, Zhai Cai looked back at Zhang Yuanqing instinctively with a look on his face.
The two looked at each other, neither of them said anything, but they already understood each other tacitly.
Zhai Cai looked away and said in a normal tone: "Why does this sword have no item information?"
Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang and Tianxia Guihuo touched the cross sword one after another. There was indeed no item information, just like Master Dong's ice pen.
Tianxia Guihuo muttered: "The sword, like the pen, exists as physical evidence."
"But what's the grudge between the tutor Daniel and the owner of the castle? Why did he want to kill her?"
Not knowing what Zhai Cai's character skills were, Zhang Yuanqing thought silently. His eyes fell on the table by the window and said: "There may be clues on the table."
Master Dong's desk was empty, but the desk of family doctor Daniel was piled with papers made of linen fiber and cotton, including several pieces of precious parchment.
Soon, everyone found a letter in the paper: "Dear Mr. Daniel, I am Peter, the steward of Lansburgh. There are werewolves near the castle. Every full moon night, we will hear the howls of werewolves. Chapter 1 The next morning, a servant will be eaten in the castle.”
"We locked the doors and windows, but we still couldn't stop the werewolves. I suspect that the werewolves were hiding in the castle because the doors and windows were not damaged. I heard that you are a famous bounty hunter nearby and was once a knight of the Holy See. I would like to ask you to help the castle. Get rid of the werewolf, and the Lance family will give you the most generous bounty."
This letter revealed a lot of valuable information.
"I am a family doctor on the surface, but in fact I am a bounty hunter secretly looking for wolves..." Zhai Cai pondered for a few seconds, and his eyes lit up: "I understand! It was not the Bigfoot fire master who ate the internal organs of the owner of the castle. The werewolf in the castle, I checked the owner’s bed, no wonder she had no signs of being violated, because it was not Bigfoot that killed her, but a werewolf.”
His thoughts became clearer and clearer: "The night the owner of the castle died was a full moon night, and the werewolf targeted her. On the same night, Master Dong, who coveted the taboos of the Lance family, also targeted her. Master Dong first used ice The pen stabbed the owner of the castle to death, and the smell of blood attracted the werewolf, who ate her internal organs..."
"Then why did I stab her? It makes no sense...accidental injury? I was fighting a werewolf that night and accidentally injured the owner of the castle during the battle?"
"No, no, there are no signs of struggle at the death scene. When the werewolf devoured her internal organs, she was able to enjoy her dinner in peace."
Zhai Cai's thoughts that had just become clear suddenly became confused.
The three people from Tianxiaguihuo also frowned.
The direction of the incident is actually clear, but many details cannot be explained.
A werewolf ate her, her lover killed her, a bounty hunter stabbed her, who is the real murderer?
More clues are needed to assist reasoning.
Zhang Yuanqing said while thinking: "At least Monroe's suspicion can be eliminated. Then, among the six people, Miaomiao is my daughter, Brother Red Rooster is Bigfoot, Mr. Knight is a bounty hunter, and I am the mage of the East... …Who is the werewolf?”
He looked at Emperor Zhao Cheng and Tianxia Guihuo: "One of you is a werewolf."
Xiao Zhao and Fire Master Zhishai looked at each other, and the latter nodded: "The last suspect is between us. Let's continue to open rooms. When we find the werewolf room, the clues will be clearer. Maybe we can directly identify the murderer."
Everyone discussed for a while and took advantage of the "darkness" before it arrived to leave Daniel's room and look for the rooms of Tianxia Guihuo and Zhao Chenghuang.
Not long after, Tianxiaguihuo found his room at the end of the corridor.
But his face was extremely ugly. He looked at his teammates who were coming and said in a deep voice: "It can't be opened!"
"Why can't it be opened?" Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.
Tianxia Guihuo didn't answer. He moved aside and motioned for him to see for himself. Zhang Yuanqing held the door lock with doubts on his face and read the item information.
[Name: Ordinary door lock]
[Function: Anti-theft]
[Type: metal products]
[Introduction: David's door lock is restricted and requires the owner to open it in person. 】
[Note 1: Opening this lock requires ten points. 】
[Note 2: Only one door can be opened per day, and it is not time to open it yet. 】
"..."
Zhang Yuanqing's heart suddenly felt cold.
