Chapter 743 The Three Suspects

The deep darkness descended on the castle, depriving everyone of their vision. Zhang Yuanqing was shocked to find that the talent of the night travel god to penetrate the darkness had lost its effect at this moment.

It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

"Dark night" is not a dark night in the conventional sense, but a mandatory seal that seals all skills, including passive ones.

Instinctively, he leaned his back against the wall, took a defensive posture, and opened the item bar at the same time. Only then did he realize that the item bar and attribute interface were restricted and could not be opened.

Then I can only fight for character, it is not the one who died, and it was not me who died. He thought to himself, and all he had to say was God bless, Buddha bless.

It's not that Zhang Yuanqing is afraid of death, but that he feels that only if he is alive can he solve 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 flooded in, and the vision changed from pitch black to blue, and then it was dawn.

"Who is dead?" Zhang Yuanqing quickly looked around.

The faces of Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, Zhai Cai, and Tianxia Guihuo came into his eyes one by one, and finally, his eyes fell on the floor.

Brother Hongji lay stiffly on the ground, dead in the night.

The one who died was Brother Red Chicken?Fortunately in misfortune. The big stone in Zhang Yuanqing's heart fell, instead of being sad, he was relieved.

At this time, Zhai Cai and others also found that Brother Hongji had collapsed at night, and they all showed expressions of "it's okay, okay".

The sacrifice was Brother Red Chicken, which means that no one died and zero loss.

Zhai Cai approached quickly, knelt down to check, and found that Brother Hongji had no wounds on his body, his expression was serene, and he looked as if he would die without regret.

"Fortunately, the dead don't affect the overall situation!" The single-pass knight breathed a sigh of relief, and then his face became serious: "I don't think the murderer who killed the owner of the castle was a witch, because the witch's method of killing is forced death, and the owner of the castle has a Two fatal wounds."

"Not necessarily!" Returning to Fire was the first to object: "Ya Lance was swallowed in a coma or after death. If she died in the witch's revenge beforehand, wouldn't 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 of investigation. First, the witch is the murderer. 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 chances of solving the case." Difficult, but not a murderer." Zhang Yuanqing pointed to the open door with clear logic, and said:

"Only this character can open Master Dong's door, that is to say, we will never be able to open Brother Red Chicken's room, and the part of the clues that belonged to him has been lost forever.

"The most important thing now is not to discuss who the murderer is, but to use up the points in hand and get as many clues as possible for the team."

After finishing speaking, he pushed open the door of Master Dong's room: "Let's see what clues are inside."

The team members followed him into the room. The tables, chairs, and beds in the room revealed the unique simplicity of the Middle Ages. After some searching, they found a black wooden box in the room; a letter written by Ya Lance to Master Dong letter; a parchment with intricate incantations on it.

The content of the letter was consistent with Zhang Yuanqing's role information, and it was a letter asking for help.

Zhang Yuanqing stared at the parchment, frowning slowly:

"It seems to be a spirit formation method for refining spiritual servants. It is different from traditional spirits. It should be an array created by ancient practitioners based on spirits. I seem to understand why Master Dong covets the witch who was sealed by the Lance family." , The witch's inspiration is very high, and she has an extremely negative physique, and she is a natural and superb spiritual servant."

Zhai Cai looked him up and down: "You are not the God of Night Tour, how do you know this is the Linglu array!"

Zhang Yuanqing didn't change his face: "Knowledge can be learned, and knowledge can be accumulated."

As he said that, he handed the parchment to Sun Miaomiao, as if to be commented by professionals.

"It is indeed an array derived from the Linglu." Sun Miaomiao pretended to give an appraisal.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't want to continue entanglement on the formation map, so he opened the wooden box, and there was an ice pen lying in the wooden box, and according to the pen holder inlaid at the bottom of the wooden box, there should have been two ice pens in the box.

One of the pens was missing.

At this time, a prompt sounded in Zhang Yuanqing's ear:
【Ding!Your character-specific skills are activated! 】

[Fuji Pen: Can be used for divination, 60 points are required to use it once (unpublished)]

Character-specific skills. Zhang Yuanqing immediately remembered the character information of Master Dong, a mage who is good at holding spirits.

In addition, he felt strange before that there was a note after Master Dong's character information: it can be made public!

Since there are "can be disclosed", there must be "undisclosed", and sure enough, the guess came true.

"Hey, an ice sculpture pen." Sun Miaomiao came over, "Does it have item attributes?"

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, and after a few seconds, he put the pen back into the box in frustration: "There is no information, so what is the use of this pen? There is no clue in your room."

Zhai Cai's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Who said there is no clue, what about another pen?"

Tianxia Guihuo came to his senses suddenly, and said in a hurried tone, "Do you still remember the fatal wound on the chest of the owner of the ancient castle? I said at the time that the color of the blood was wrong, as if it had been diluted with water."

Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang reacted instantly.

"The murderer is Master Dong?" Sun Miaomiao looked at Zhang Yuanqing and reasoned: "The wound on the owner's chest of the castle was caused by the ice pen. The pen melted, so the blood in the chest seems to have been diluted."

Zhao Chenghuang said "Yes": "The owner of the castle wrote in his notes that Dong Tianshi coveted the taboos of the Lance family, and he had a motive for the murder."

Everyone looked at Zhang Yuanqing.

Unable to refute Zhang Yuanqing thought carefully for a moment, and found that Master Dong did have motives and abilities, and there was also physical evidence.

It's hard to say that Ya Lance's death had nothing to do with Master Dong.

At this time, Zhai Cai said: "But the window on the chest of the deceased is more like a sharp weapon like a big sword. The ice pen can't make such a wound."

The excitement of the world returning to fire subsided a little, 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."

"It's a good thing that the range of murderers has narrowed." Zhang Yuanqing put the ice pen back into the box, and said, "Munro, who likes to eat internal organs, and Master Dong, who covets the taboos of the Lance family, as long as we find the owner of the great sword, the three murderers It's easier to find the murderer from three than six."

He did not mention the Fushi, because this is information that cannot be made public.

This kind of information that clearly warns you of "non-disclosure" is best kept in your stomach and no one is told, and you don't even have hints. In difficult dungeons, you must not be smart, because there is no fault tolerance rate.

Zhang Yuanqing has already treated the "Mystery of the Castle" as a copy.

"It's a pity that Brother Hongji is dead, and we will never be able to enter his room." Sun Miaomiao frowned and said, "I don't know if it will affect the final suspect."

"Find your room first, and collect all the clues. There can be no more stupid fire masters." 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 ran over together and entered the tutor Daniel's room.

After stepping through the porch, with a glance, everyone was immediately attracted by a long cross sword standing by the wall.

The sword was about ten centimeters wide and 1.5 meters high, and the cross hilt was made of sterling silver.

"Uh" Zhai Cai touched his nose, "So I'm 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. Immediately afterwards, Zhai Cai was stunned, and instinctively looked back at Zhang Yuanqing.

The eyes of the two met, and neither of them spoke, but it was already tacit understanding.

Zhai Cai withdrew his gaze, and said in a normal tone:

"Why doesn't this sword have item information?"

Sun Miaomiao, Zhao Chenghuang, and Tianxia Guihuo touched the cross sword one after another, but there was indeed no item information, just like Master Dong's ice pen.

The world returns to fire and murmurs:
"Swords, like pens, exist as physical evidence?
"But what's the grudge between the tutor Daniel and the owner of the castle? Why did you 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 up with a lot of paper made of flax fiber and cotton, including some precious parchment.

Soon, everyone found a letter in the paper:

"Dear Mr. Daniel, I am Pete, the steward of Lansburg. There are werewolves near the castle. Every night when the moon is full, we will hear the howling of werewolves. The next morning, servants in the castle will be eaten .

"We locked the doors and windows, but we still couldn't stop the werewolves. I suspect that werewolves were in the castle because the doors and windows were not damaged. I heard that you are a famous bounty hunter nearby and a knight of the Holy See. I would like to ask you to help the castle clear Get rid of the werewolf, and the Lance family will give you the richest bounty."

This letter reveals a lot of valuable information.

"I'm a family doctor on the surface, but I'm actually a bounty hunter secretly looking for wolves." Zhai Cai pondered for a few seconds, his eyes lit up:

"I see! It wasn't the Bigfoot Pyromancer who ate the internal organs of the owner of the castle, but the werewolf hiding in the castle. I checked the bed of the owner of the castle. No wonder she didn't show any signs of being violated, because it wasn't Bigfoot who killed her. Foot monsters, but werewolves."

His thoughts became more and more clear:
"The night when the owner of the castle died was the night of the full moon, and the werewolf was staring at her. On the same night, Master Dong, who coveted the taboo of the Lance family, also stared at her. Master Dong stabbed the owner of the castle to death with an ice pen first. , the smell of blood attracted the werewolf, and the werewolf ate her internal organs.
"Then why did I stab her with a sword? It doesn't make sense, accidental injury? I was fighting a werewolf that night, and accidentally injured the owner of the castle during the battle?
"No, no, there was no sign of a fight at the scene of the death. When the werewolf devoured her internal organs, he enjoyed dinner with peace of mind."

Zhai Cai's train of thought, which had just been cleared up, suddenly became confused.

The three of them also frowned.

The direction of the incident is actually clear, but many details cannot be justified.

The werewolf ate her, the lover killed her, the bounty hunter stabbed her, who is the real murderer?
More cues are needed to aid reasoning.

Zhang Yuanqing said while thinking:
"At least the suspicion of Monroe can be ruled out. Then, among the six people, Miaomiao is my daughter, Brother Red Chicken is Bigfoot, Mr. Knight is a bounty hunter, and I am a 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 Huo Shizhi looked at each other, and the latter nodded:

"The last suspect is between us. Let's continue to open the room. When we find the werewolf room, the clues will be clearer. Maybe we can directly blame the murderer."

Everyone discussed for a while, and took advantage of the "darkness" before they left Daniel's room and looked for the room of Tianxia Guihuo and Zhao Chenghuang.

Not long after, Tianxia Guihuo found his room at the end of the corridor.

But his face was extremely ugly, looking at his teammates who rushed over, he said in a deep voice:
"Can't open!"

"Why can't it be opened?" Zhang Yuanqing was taken aback.

Tianxia Guihuo didn't answer, stepped aside and motioned for himself
Zhang Yuanqing held the door lock with doubts on his face, and read the item information.

【Name: Ordinary door lock】

【Type: Metal Products】

【Function: Anti-theft】

[Introduction: David's room door lock, which has been restricted, needs to be opened by the owner himself. 】

[Remark 1: To open this lock, ten points are required. 】

[Remark 2: You can only open one door a day, and it's not time to open it yet. 】

"Fuck..." Zhang Yuanqing's heart instantly turned cold.

PS: The typo is corrected first and then corrected.
