I keep peace by drawing cards

Moge's room was locked, and Xia Youjie opened the door with the key he got from the housekeeper.

There was an unpleasant burnt smell coming from the pavement.

The corpse and the other two corpses in the original room were taken away by the housekeeper.

They are now trapped on the island, unable to leave or communicate with the outside world. It is normal to store Mrs. Slick's body, but why doesn't the housekeeper help Mogg and Aluka hold the funeral?

Could it be that I've been too busy recently, and all the housekeepers forgot?

Not likely.

Several people walked into the room, and all the paper and other things were burned, and the walls and the ground were covered with scorched marks after being burned by the fire.

There seems to be nothing in this room.

Gojo Satoru: "I've read it, but there's nothing useful."

Several people went to the ice cellar where the corpses were stored, and checked the corpses carefully.

"The knife on the hostess' body is the fruit knife in her room. It would be great if it was in modern times. Just check the fingerprints and check the surveillance!"

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked impatient, it is better to use high technology to solve the case than to be still at a loss.

"Hey, where's Ranpo Edogawa from your detective agency? Isn't he a detective? Come out and solve the case for me!"

Oda hesitated and said, "Mr. Ranpo said that he forgot to bring the glasses for super reasoning, so there is no way to solve the case."

Zhong Yuanzhong also stared wide-eyed: "Did he not wear glasses or brain?"

What kind of bullshit reason, he Ping An didn't believe it, that Edogawa Ranpo from the detective agency was just to watch the fun!

He rolled up his sleeves angrily. Blue blood vessels could be seen on his thin arms. The temperature in the ice cellar was low, and his exposed arms were freezing. After coughing violently a few times, he silently rolled up his sleeves.

Ghost place!He is leaving!

The clues were broken again, and nothing was found.

Several people changed the plan and started to attack the guests.

At first, those guests didn't cooperate, but after being beaten up by Gojo Gojo, they all became honest.

Xia Youjie first asked about Mogg's relative. Although he was wearing a formal suit, he was hunched over with his chest in his arms and no posture.

His eyes have been enlightened by Wujo, one left and one right symmetrical, like a panda.

"The news that Mogg was seriously ill was told by my aunt. She heard it from Mogg's family doctor. Mogg has no relatives and no children. It happened that he held a banquet. I thought about it in front of Mogg. If you look familiar, maybe you can share some of his property in the future."

"Family doctor?" Xia Youjie asked, "Then where is this family doctor now?"

"I don't know, maybe he's not in the castle. I haven't seen him. My aunt told me the news. I really don't know anything!"

Looking at his state, Xia Youjie should have told everything he knew, without hiding anything.

A lady wearing a gauze hat bowed to Xia Youjie from afar, and she walked over calmly, her high-heeled shoes stomping on the ground, making an extremely rhythmic "da da" sound.

The woman introduces herself: "I'm Eli, Mrs. Aluka's painting teacher."

Xia Youjie: "?"

Eli seems to be very interested in Xia Youjie, looking at Xia Youjie with amorous eyes full of spring water, his eyes turn, and the provocative meaning is beyond words.

Gojo Gora let out a long "Oh".

"I met her on the night of Ai Luka's death. She invited me to appreciate a painting she had just copied. It was the work of Mr. Eliot. Ai Luka admired Mr. Ai Lite's paintings very much, so she doted on her. Mr. Mogg of Iluka will hold this banquet, and invite Mr. Eliot and some friends to the banquet."

For some reason, Xia Youjie felt a little disobedient. Was it true that Mogg held this banquet?

The host of the banquet is dead, and it is impossible to know what his funeral was for.

Is it for the joy of the beloved wife, or for the choice of carnival in the last days of life.

Outsiders don't know, so they can only keep guessing, trying to get closer to the truth.

Eli continued: "There are two things that are strange."

Xia Youjie asked, "What's the matter?"

"After chatting with Ai Luka that day, I was a little hungry. I went to the kitchen to get some food and went back to my room. But when I walked halfway, I found that my fan fell into the kitchen, and I went back to the kitchen to get the fan again."

Zhong Yuanzhong was also at a loss: "What's so strange about this?"

Eli said calmly, "Listen to me."

Ai Luka's room was close to the clock tower, and when she walked from Ai Luka's room to the kitchen, she vaguely heard the bell ringing on the hour.

Eli didn't care. When he came to the kitchen, there was only one servant in the kitchen.

Although the kitchen looks big, there is only one room, and the head can be seen at a glance.

The servant brought her food and left.

Eli was carrying the food, but after walking a few steps, he realized that he had forgotten his fan.

There was only one corridor from the kitchen, and before she reached the place where she could turn, she remembered that the fan fell into the kitchen and went back to get it.

On the way back, she didn't meet anyone.

After she got to the kitchen, she saw an unexpected person in the kitchen.

"You mean you saw the butler in the kitchen?" Nakahara Zhong also frowned, "Why is he the butler going to the kitchen?"

Xia Youjie understood what Eli said was strange.

"There is only one corridor leading to the kitchen. There was no one in the kitchen when Miss Eli left. She clearly didn't see anyone in the corridor. How did the housekeeper not meet Miss Eli in the corridor that must be passed to the kitchen? Arrived in the kitchen."

Zhong Yuanzhong also suddenly realized: "Where did he come to the kitchen? Are you sure there was no one else in the kitchen at that time?"

Eli affirmed: "The kitchen can see the bottom at a glance, and there is no place to hide. After the servant leaves, I can be sure that there is no one else in the kitchen except me."

Gojo Satoru raised the corners of his lips, very confidently: "That means there is another way, you can get to the kitchen without going through the corridor."

In this ancient castle, there is one or more secret passages that they don't know about.

Xia Youjie was not in a hurry to go to the kitchen, and asked, "What's the second strange thing?"

Eli hesitated and said: "On the first day I came to the castle, I walked around the garden outside the castle, and accidentally saw Mrs. Slick and Mrs. Aluka talking. When they first met, they behaved very well. Strange, but I think they don't look like they don't know each other, and then I tentatively asked Iluka if she knew Mrs. Slick before, she was very flustered, and the oil paintbrush in her hand fell to the ground. "

What Eli said was the mystery that Xia Youjie and the others hadn't solved yet.

"Actually, when Mrs. Slick fell, I saw her in the corridor. She was arguing with the housekeeper, and it seemed to be related to Mrs. Aluka."

Two people died one after another, and they were still the master and hostess of the castle, and people were panicked for a while.

Eli was afraid that the murderer would hurt him, so he stayed in the room and locked the door.

Trapped on the island all the time, unable to contact the outside world, and life-threatening, Eli was very irritable.

She wanted to drink a little, but there were only some fruits in the room, and she couldn't find a drop of wine.

The desire to drink became stronger and stronger. She took a fruit knife and boldly walked towards the hall, planning to find a servant to ask for a bottle of wine.

"Don't think I don't know what you and Ai Luka have done over the years, is the money well spent?"

It was the butler's voice.

Eli saw the housekeeper and Mrs. Slick standing on the edge of the stairs arguing, she hurriedly hid beside them, carefully eavesdropping on their conversation.

They were a little far away, and the voices of the two of them were deliberately lowered, and she could only vaguely hear a few words.

"Saint Mary...covet...Aluka...Master Mogg..."

"Lover...dead...like Iluka..."

After finishing speaking, the butler left angrily, leaving only Mrs. Snake alone.

Eli recalled: "After that, I didn't have any intention of drinking. Not long after I got back to my room, I heard the news that Mrs. Slick had fallen down the stairs."

The clues obtained from Yi Lai let Xia Youjie and the others find the direction of investigation.

"Mr. Oda, do you think Mrs. Slick was pushed down the stairs by the butler?" Xia Youjie wanted to hear Oda's thoughts.

"If what Eli said is true, since the butler left, how could he turn back and suddenly push Mrs. Slick down the stairs?"

Gojo Satoru joked: "What's the matter, maybe the more you take a step back, the more you think about it, the more you get angry, the more you think about it, the more angry you are, it's not impossible to turn back with a full belly and push Mrs. Slick down the stairs."

Xia Youjie said helplessly, "The butler seems to be a very calm person, not you."

"Jie, you are connoting me, I can hear it."

Xia Youjie shrugged and smiled at him, with a hint of flattery in it.

"I'm not a small-minded person, so I don't care about you."

Xia Youjie thanked in a hurry: "Thank you Wujo Wu, the number one conjurer who is not small-minded, for your tolerance."

Although he knew that Xia Youjie's praise was not sincere, Gojo Satoru was still beaming with joy.

After all, no one doesn't like hearing compliments.

Zhong Yuanzhong also "cut" and walked to the kitchen first.

He has a certain understanding of mechanisms, and after careful observation, he found a strange protrusion in the corner.

He bent his fingers and tapped on the wall, the sound was unreal, there should be an empty space behind this wall.

Central Plains also pressed the protrusion, and the wall moved away, revealing a secret door for only one person to pass through.

The secret door is very dark, with the wind blowing, mixed with dust and musty smell.

Xia Youjie took a candle, lit it, and entered the secret passage.

There are some tattered white cloths hanging on both sides of the dark passage, and the white cloths are covered with dust and spider webs.

There was also a thick layer of dust on the ground, Xia Youjie stopped and held up a candle to look at the remaining shoe prints on the ground.

There are several kinds of shoe prints, and it doesn't look like it belongs to one person.

"This shoe print looks heavier, and this shoe print is light."

There are only two footprints in the secret passage, one is the housekeeper, and whose is the other?

Another murderer who conspired with the housekeeper?

They went all the way until they reached the first locked door.

Gojo Satoru casually pulled and pushed the door of the room open. This was a corridor only a few meters long, with a mirror at the end.

You can see the situation in the room from the mirror. There is a big pool of blood on the ground, and the room is messy.

On the hour, the bell on the clock tower was rung.

It is clearly audible in the secret passage, one, two... six...

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked at the room on the other side of the mirror. This room looked familiar, and it was the hostess' room.

The quilt that was thrown on the ground was still done by him.

Pushing away the mirror, they went directly to the room of the hostess, Iluka.

"No way, that bad old man really killed him?"

The time of Iluka's death was not long after Eli left, and she happened to see the butler in the kitchen after leaving Iluka's room.

And there is a secret passage hidden in the kitchen that can directly reach Iluka's room.

How reasonable everything looks, who else could kill Iluka if it wasn't that bad old man!

Zhong Yuan also thought that he might already know the truth.
