Genshin Impact: The Glory of the Herrscher Shines on Teyvat

After returning to Momang Palace, Ailixia did not sit down immediately, but sat at the table in the room, took out a pen and paper and started writing.

Seeing this, Funina asked curiously.

"Aili, you don't take a break after the performance, what are you planning to write?"

"I'm writing the second chapter of the Holmes Detective Collection. The previous chapters have all been published in the Steambird Newspaper. I have to hurry up and finish the second chapter. I can't let those lovely readers wait too long, right?"

Alicia said without turning her head.

Upon hearing this, Funina's eyes lit up, and then she ran to Alicia excitedly, ready to read what Alicia had written.

"I remember you said before, Ellie, that the second chapter was called "Astrology Murder Case", right?"

Alicia nodded, confirming what Funina said.

The original author of the novel is Soji Shimada from Japan, the god of Japanese mystery novels and one of the greatest mystery novelists of our time.

This novel was also selected as one of the top 20 mystery novels of the 10th century by the Japan Mystery Writers Association Award.

It was quite famous in the previous life, and the horror atmosphere in the novel was extremely strong. When Alicia read it, she felt her scalp tingling.

Thinking of this, Alicia hugged Furninna in front of her and let her sit in front of her, just like before.

And Funina's attention was completely attracted by what Alicia wrote...

One afternoon, when Holmes and her assistant Miss Pink Fairy were enjoying afternoon tea in the bright sunshine, the arrival of a security guard disrupted the tranquility.

"Detective Holmes, a major case has occurred in Fontaine. A couple was found dead in their room, and their six daughters are all missing. We suspect they are in grave danger now."

"What? There are so many people?"

Holmes was somewhat shocked when he heard this. You know, murders involving this number of people are extremely rare, and there is a high probability that there may be more than one murderer.

This also means that it will definitely not be easy to solve the case, so he quickly said to Miss Pink Fairy.

"Let's go check it out. This heinous case must be solved as soon as possible. If we solve it quickly, maybe we can save their daughter."

Upon hearing this, Miss Pink Fairy quickly sat up and rushed to the crime scene with Holmes and the security guards.

There were already a large number of people gathered outside the door of the scene. Seeing this, Holmes frowned and asked the guards to disperse them as soon as possible. With so many people watching, it meant that any clues that might exist outside, such as footprints, were basically destroyed.

After Holmes and Miss Pink Fairy walked into the crime scene, they were both shocked by the strange scene before them. The deceased couple had their throats slit by the murderer. The male owner was killed on the sofa in the room, and the female owner fell to the ground not far away. In the center of the room, a hexagram magic circle was drawn with unknown blood.

The security guards who were investigating in the room greeted the two people warmly when they saw them arrive.

"Ms. Holmes, you are finally here. This case is really weird."

He then briefed Miss Holmes on the progress of the case.

Two dead bodies were found in the room. They died 7 days ago. It is summer now and the weather is hot. The bodies of the two have begun to decay. The stench of decay is unbearable for passers-by, so witnesses knocked on the door to inquire about the situation.

After seeing no one responding, he entered the room to check, and what he saw was a scene that frightened him to death. He then reported the matter to the security guard.

"I seem to have seen this magic circle somewhere before. I remember it was recorded in a book on astrology."

The guard was shocked when he heard this, and then spoke in an incredible tone.

"Miss Pink Fairy is right. We found this on the dead male owner."

As he said this, he handed a book to the two of them.

After they opened the book and looked through it, they found the chapter that recorded this magic.

It is written in the book that this magic circle is a summoning circle. If the corresponding parts of six girls with different attributes of fate are connected together, the perfect woman 'Asword' can be summoned.

When she saw this, Funina was startled and shrank back before continuing to read.

"According to the above statement, it is possible that the male owner killed his six daughters, then took out the corresponding parts of their bodies and summoned Asoide, and the couple was killed by the summoned Asoide."

The guard said tremblingly.

"Impossible, the contents of this book are all false, and this book has long been listed as a banned book by Fontaine?"

Miss Pink Fairy shook her head, denying the guard's statement.

"But if the murderer really committed the crime according to what was written in the magic circle..."

Miss Pink Fairy stopped talking here and began to calculate the direction of the hexagram.

"If we proceed according to the contents, the bodies of the six girls should be in these six locations?"

Miss Pink Fairy wrote down her deductions to the security guards and asked them to investigate and excavate, while she and Holmes chose to continue looking for clues at the scene.

Holmes found that there was still a lot of food on the table nearby, which made her very curious. Judging from the position where the couple died, it didn’t look like they were eating, so why wasn’t the food next to them cleared away?

Thinking of this, he immediately arranged for the security guards to take the food for inspection, and the results came out quickly.

All the food is poisonous!

After getting the answer, Holmes immediately asked someone to check whether the couple was poisoned.

Then she got the answer she wanted. The couple was actually poisoned to death, but it was disguised to look like a slit throat.

After getting this answer, Holmes lowered his head and thought.

If the murderer poisoned the couple, it means that the murderer should be familiar with this family, or even a member of this family. Only in this way would he have the opportunity to poison the food without arousing their vigilance.

It also shows that the murderer was not a multi-person crime as he thought at the beginning.

While he was thinking, the security guards who were out investigating sent back news.

They found 6 mutilated bodies at the location provided by Miss Pink Fairy.

The eldest daughter lost her left hand.

The second daughter lost her right hand.

The third daughter lost her right leg

The fourth daughter lost her left leg

The fifth daughter has no torso

The remaining body was without a head...
