Deep darkness descended on the castle, depriving everyone of their vision. Zhang Yuanqing was shocked to discover that the Night Walker's talent for penetrating darkness had lost its effect at this moment.
It was pitch black in front of me and I couldn't 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 realize 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, and it's not me who dies. He thought to himself 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 is alive can he ensure that the case is solved, and he cannot 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, and then dawn.
"Who died?" Zhang Yuanqing quickly looked around.
Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, Zhai Cai, the world returns to fire. 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.
It was Brother Red Rooster who died? What a blessing among misfortunes. Zhang Yuanqing felt a huge stone fall in his heart. Instead of feeling sad, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Zhai Cai and others also discovered that Brother Red Rooster 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 came closer, squatted down and checked, and found that there were no wounds on Brother Hongji's 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: "Ya Lansi was in a coma or died and her internal organs were eaten. If she died in revenge of the witch 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, which increases the difficulty of solving the case.
Difficult, but not the murderer." Zhang Yuanqing had clear logic, pointed to the open door, and said:
"Only this character can open Master Dong's door. In other words, we can never open Brother Red Rooster's room, and the clues that belong to him have 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 saying that, 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 Ya Lansi 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 spirit urn formation method for refining spiritual servants. It is different from the traditional spirit urn. It should be a formation created by ancient practitioners based on the spirit urn. 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 when something happens, 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 the Linglu 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 he wanted a professional to comment.
"It is indeed an array derived from the Linglu." Sun Miaomiao pretended to give the identification.
Zhang Yuanqing didn't want to continue to struggle with the array diagram, so he opened the wooden box. There was an ice-carved 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!]
[Fuqi pen: can be used for divination, and one use requires 60 points (not public)]
Character-specific skills. Zhang Yuanqing immediately recalled the character information of Master Dong. He is a mage who is good at supporting the shackles.
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 "can be disclosed", there must be "cannot be disclosed". Sure enough, the guess came true.
"Hey, a pen carved from 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."
"Let me take a look." 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 about your room."
Zhai Cai's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Who said there is no clue, where is the other pen?"
Tianxia Guihuo 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 looked at Zhang Yuanqing and reasoned: "The injury on the castle owner's chest was caused by an ice pen. The pen melted, so the blood in the chest seems to have been diluted."
Zhao Chenghuang 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 the return of the world to fire subsided a little, I recalled it, nodded and said:
"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. In other words, 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 and the three perpetrators
We've found them all, it's easier to identify the murderer from three people than from six people."
He didn't mention Fuqi because it was information that could not be made public.
This kind of information that clearly warns you "not to be disclosed" is best kept in your mind without telling anyone, or even hinting at it. In difficult dungeons, you must not be smart, because there is no room for error.
Zhang Yuanqing has already treated "The Mystery of the Castle" as a copy.
"It's a pity that Brother Red Rooster is dead, and we will never be able to enter his room." Sun Miaomiao frowned and said, "There is 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 ran out of the room. Zhai Cai was the first to find his room, spent ten points to open the door, and immediately called his teammates:
"My room is open."
Zhang Yuanqing and others all ran over and entered the tutor Daniel's room.
As they walked through the entrance hall and glanced around, everyone was immediately attracted to 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 stunned and instinctively looked back at Zhang Yuanqing.
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 all touched the cross sword one after another. There was indeed no item information, just like Master Dong's ice pen.
Tianxiaguihuo muttered:
"Swords and pens both exist 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?"
I don’t know what Zhai Cai’s character skills are. 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 family doctor Daniel's desk 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 Lanesburg. There are werewolves near the castle. Every full moon night, we will hear the howls of the werewolves. The next morning, servants 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 a former knight of the Holy See. I would like to ask you to help eliminate the castle.
If you drop the werewolf, 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! The one who ate the internal organs of the owner of the castle was not the Bigfoot Fire Master, but the werewolf hiding in the castle. I checked the bed of the owner of the castle. No wonder there were no signs of violation on her, because it was not Bigfoot who killed her.
A foot monster, 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 stabbed the owner of the castle to death with an ice pen.
, the smell of blood attracted the werewolf, who ate her internal organs.
"Then why did I stab her? It makes no sense. I accidentally injured her? I fought with the werewolf that night and accidentally injured the owner of the castle during the battle?
"No, no, there are no signs of fighting 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.
The werewolf ate her, her lover killed her, and the 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 from the East. Who is the werewolf?"
He looked at Zhao Chenghuang 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 before "darkness" came, they took the time 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:
"Can't open!"
"Why can't it be opened?" Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.
Tianxiaguihuo didn't answer, he moved aside and signaled to himself
Zhang Yuanqing held the door lock with confusion and read the item information.
