Chapter 143 Blood Moon Invitation
Liang Xi asked, "But what about us?"

House said: "We are the green leaves and foil of the princess and the prince."

Anthony asked: "Is the European Skull and Bones strong?"

House replied: "It depends on how you understand it. Let's be strong, the Skull and Bones will not have any armed forces, no thugs, and the core organization is a group of intelligence collectors and intelligence analysts. Let's not be strong, look at the owner of Blood Moon Castle, he not only He is an earl, and very rich, and his friends are the great people of all countries."

Anthony asked, "Why are you telling us these things?"

House took a sip of mineral water, slowly tightened the bottle cap, and said, "I only have five silver coins. In order to get the invitation for the next blood moon, I really need the case of the Gudao case. You two may wish to make an offer. "

Liang Xi said: "Let me ask a question first. According to Mr. House, what do you mean: the European Skull and Bones is actually a platform for the powerful, a platform for the big shots?"

House replied: "Accurately speaking, it is a private detective agency that provides customized services for European dignitaries."

Liang Xi: "Can I buy information?"

House asked: "Do you want to buy John's information?"

Liang Xi nodded.

"John is a good man." Anthony and House joined John in the last Blood Moon invitation.

Liang Xi had a toothache, and every time he heard this sentence, he was a little at a loss.You said this when you knew you had nothing good to say, but you couldn't refute it, you couldn't refute it.

After an awkward silence, Anthony said: "I used to think John was a staff member of Skull and Bones."

Liang Xi was taken aback, which seemed to explain why John came back out of the mountain after many years of retirement.Anthony didn't care about Liang Xi's reaction, as if he didn't say that, he said to House: "I can tell you all about my reasoning process, if you don't need money, just treat it as if you owe me a favor."

Liang Xi was immersed in his own thinking, and didn't notice that what Anthony said to House had any deep meaning.

If the assumption that John is a staff member of the Skull and Bones Society is true, it means that John was not directly commissioned by a big man, but was commissioned by the European Skull and Bones Society.This explains why John did not inform Liang Xi of his employer's identity in his suicide note.Because John wasn't sure who hired himself to investigate Angela.

Anthony's seemingly chatty words opened up Liang Xi's thinking in one fell swoop and resolved many contradictions in John's suicide note.It explained why John had a secret room, and explained why the gangsters focused on destroying and burning the secret room.The murderer is a member of the European Skull and Bones Society?Or is it a big shot?

Anthony glanced at House, and House glanced at Liang Xi who was immersed in his own world. Without saying anything, he picked up a beer and touched Anthony.

Prince Thresh was sunbathing wearing sunglasses 20 meters away. He seemed to be asleep, but in fact he saw House and Anthony's every move with his eyes open.Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, Thresh could tell that there was an unspeakable relationship between House and Anthony.

……

The bloody night banquet was held.The owner of the castle, the Earl of England, Hansen, who is in his sixties this year, attended the banquet in person.During the first half of the banquet, we ate and chatted normally.After finishing the dessert, the housekeeper provided everyone with a pen, paper and a tablet computer, and everyone needed to present the truth of their desert island case in concrete words.As an old rule, you can only write keywords, which is a way to avoid plagiarism.

After the maids delivered fruit and refreshments, they left the restaurant together with other staff.Only the Earl and the six Blood Moon guests were left in the restaurant.

The count gently shook the brandy glass in his hand, quietly watching the busy six guests, he knew the identities of several of them.

House, the American agent, relied on the blood moon invitation to earn gold coins, and then used the gold coins to buy the information Americans wanted to know from the European Skull and Bones Society.It's a pity that the level is slightly low. Relying on preparation in advance, stealing chickens and dogs, eavesdropping, tracking, and digging invitation information, I stayed three episodes in a shameless manner.

Anthony, an old man in the fifth period, a Russian foreign hired detective, he is House's guide.It was because Russia obtained a lot of personal and business intelligence from European dignitaries through Anthony that House joined the Blood Moon invitation on the recommendation of the ambassador.

Both Russia and the United States hope to expand their interests in Europe. National interests are in the hands of the powerful, and the information of the powerful is crucial to them.A president with an iron-clad camp and flowing water, the president is only an upstart, and the camp is the powerful.To put it bluntly, ordinary citizens are not qualified to sell their country even if they want to.

The prince and princess are candidates for observation recommended by key members of the European Skull and Bones Society.However, they didn't know that they were candidates for observation, and only under such circumstances could Skull and Bones make a more objective evaluation of the two.So far, the performance of the two is average.

On the contrary, Liang Xi was the simplest person among them. He came here with John's relic in his face.

……

After confirming everyone's keywords and sentences, start to confirm the order of speaking.The princess is the opponent, she can intervene at any time and has no right to speak.The old lady was not prepared enough and shook her head to give up.The prince drew a sketch portrait of the princess, who had raised the white flag of surrender.

In order to get the five silver coins reward for the first speech, House first raised his hand. Earl Hansen asked with a smile, "House, who did you copy the answer from?"

House responded with a smile: "A lot of people use toilets, but not many people are interested in who invented the toilet."

Anthony and Liang Xi looked at House together, and House smiled back.

Hansen said, "You only have five silver coins left?"

House replied: "I like to put myself to death."

Hansen said: "Okay, let's start."

House began to explain his reasoning about the desert island case.

House believed that the murderer was the third last professor who died, but there were two murderers.

第一位死者5号遇害10个小时之后2号遇害，5号被人浅埋。5号尸体是被警察找到的，说明其他人并不知道5号遇害。他们会认为5号失踪，或者在荒岛中迷路。这给了凶手接下来杀人的机会。

No. 5 was killed during the day, and No. 5 had not returned at night. Under the worry of the professor, everyone decided to go out to find No. 5.Considering the possibility of returning to the villa on the 5th, people should be kept in the villa.Who will stay?The professor is relatively old, and it is more dangerous to go looking for people at night, so he will stay.The remaining 1, 2, 3, 4, and 2 people will leave one person to accompany the professor to wait at home.The professor didn't care who was left behind, he killed them and hid them in the closet of the second bedroom. No. [-] was killed.

The third deceased was No. 8 who was killed in 1 hours, which was in the morning.At this time, others did not know that No. 2 and No. 5 had been killed.After everyone searched, the professor told them that No. 2 went to the south to find No. 5 by the forest and seaside.Everyone was very tired, rested and waited until dawn and found that neither No. 2 nor No. 5 came back.Since No. 2 is directional, everyone decided to look for No. 2 at the forest and seaside in the south. Girl No. 1 worked all night and stayed in the villa to rest.

3 and 4 went out together to find No. 2, and the girl No. 1 stayed in the villa and was killed.

There are 3, 4, and 6 left.

No. 6, the murderer professor, was sitting in the study. When No. 3 and No. 4 were about to return to the villa, he shot himself in the back of the head, and the gun dropped to the ground after death. No. 3 and No. 4 rushed to the villa after hearing gunshots, and found that No. 1 girl died in the restaurant and No. 6 professor died in the study.The two discussed that No. 5, who had never been seen, was probably the murderer.

So No. 3 and No. 4 took pistols and went to the beach where the only boat was located, wanting to leave the island.After arriving at the beach where the ship was located, No. 3 and No. 4 suspected each other, and there was a dispute between the two sides, and finally No. 3 shot and killed No. 4.

No. 3 eventually returned to the villa and committed suicide in the bedroom.

After House finished speaking, the princess said, "Mr. House, I have a lot of questions to ask."

Hansen said: "Don't worry, come one by one."

The princess picked up her notebook and asked, "The first question is that the 5th didn't come home until night, and everyone went out to look for the 5th. Why did you have to leave someone to accompany the professor?"

House looked at Anthony, and Anthony said: "Professor can say that if No. 5 didn't come back, he might be injured. Suppose everyone went out to look for No. 5, and No. 5 came back alone. He couldn't deal with No. 5's injury." House only The process of the case was obtained, but the explanation of the contradiction was not obtained.

Liang Xidao: "I have a different opinion. I think dealing with number 2 is not accidental, but inevitable. After the death of male number 5, there are still two males and two females left. The first choice is to get rid of the male first. Let number 2 keep a lot of people. Simple, do some tricks in the food, everyone had dinner and waited for No. 5 to come back. When discussing going out to find someone, No. 2 was depressed and sleepy. For safety reasons, the professor asked No. 2 to go to the second bedroom to rest first. This is also to hide No. 2 The reason for the wardrobe in the second bedroom."

Anthony thought for a while, nodded: "You are right."

公主再问：“第二个问题，1、3、4号搜寻回来之后，为什么1号女生没有继续跟随3、4号出去寻找2号呢？”

House said: "Liang Xi has already answered, food. The professor rested all night, and he is the master again, so he can tamper with the food of girl No. 1."

The princess said: "Mr. Liang said that men should be dealt with first, why didn't they do something about men's No. 4 food?"

House asked for help, and Anthony replied: "If number 4 is exhausted, 1 and 3 are women, and they may give up going out to search. Secondly, the relationship between 1 and 3 is very good, and it is difficult to provoke them. In order to let 3 and 4 interact with each other Suspicion, cannibalism, so 1 became the target."

Liang Xi added: "Although No. 3 is a woman, the strongest woman among women has a chance to kill No. 4."

The princess nodded: "The third question, No. 3 and No. 4 returned to the villa, No. 1 has been dead for several hours, No. 6, the murderer professor just died, didn't they notice the time difference?"

House replied: "I don't think they have the ability to judge the time of death. It was the first murder they discovered at that time. Even if they had the ability to judge, they would lose their ability to judge because of panic."

Princess: "The fourth question, why did they take the pistol?"

House replied: "They suspect that No. 5 hid and killed everyone. Since there are weapons at this time, they must take weapons for self-defense."

Princess: "The fifth question, the key question, since both No. 3 and No. 4 think that No. 5 killed people, and they fled to the beach, why did there be internal strife?"

House replied: "They found number 5 dead."

The princess asked: "The body of No. 5 was only excavated after the incident. How did they know that No. 5 was dead?"

House asked for help again, and Anthony hesitated this time: "I can't explain why they fought among themselves, but judging from their defensive injuries, they have fought. This proves that they are not the murderer, because the murderer will take the pistol. You can shoot and kill without fighting. After all, you are the last person."

Liang Xi added: "Because of the bullets, six people have six bullets. No. 6 and No. 3 found out from the number of bullets that No. 4 and No. 5 may have been killed. Then one of them must be the murderer. Anthony said earlier However, woman No. 2 is stronger, maybe she has a gun. If she didn’t have a gun, and thought of the number of bullets, she would want to hold the gun by herself. The two parties originally only suspected each other, because there was a problem with the control of the pistol, which eventually led to There were snatches and fights."

The princess thought for a while, and it made sense, and asked, "Why did girl No. 3 go to the bedroom of the villa to commit suicide in the end?"

House and Anthony watched Liang Xi together, and Liang Xi replied: "No. 3 thinks that the murderer has been killed, and the ship cannot go to sea, so returning to the villa and waiting for rescue is the best choice. No. 3 committed suicide because of the photos on the table."

Liang Xi turned on the computer and zoomed in on the on-site photos taken at that time. A photo was placed in a frame. Because the photo was too old to see clearly, it was still recognizable as a group photo of two people, one man and one woman, one old and one young.

Liang Xidao: "I ask His Royal Highness to look up information, although I don't understand why I don't have a mobile phone, but everyone else does."

House and Anthony said together: "We didn't either."

Hansen was a little embarrassed, but Liang Xi ignored him and continued: "The professor had a child. The child died in the First World War, and a girl was left behind. The girl was drowned while camping and swimming when she was in college. 5 people They're all girls' classmates."

House immediately said: "Five people killed the girl. After her grandfather found out, he wanted to avenge her, so he invited five people to the island."

"Sorry to interrupt. The girl died accidentally while participating in the camping club activities. It has nothing to do with the 5 people. The 5 people did not participate in the camping club." The princess picked up the phone and said: "Cheating device. The professor received 3 After the letter from girl No. 3, she invited No. 3 to go to the island to discuss string theory, but the professor didn’t know how many fellows No. [-] had.”

Liang Xi said: "This is the reason why the professor delayed the murder for a few days. The professor didn't know who No. 3 would go to the island with. It is true that as Her Royal Highness said, the five people had nothing to do with the girl's murder. But No. 5 String theory is the girl's inheritance. No. 3 stole the girl's inheritance, but she doesn't have the talent of a girl, and she still can't figure out many problems, so she contacted a professor who specializes in string theory. The professor knew very well that this theory was dead. Research theory. So he asked No. 3 to go to the island."

The princess asked: "In this case, why didn't the professor kill No. 3?"

Liang Xi said: "Maybe the professor hoped that No. 3 could carry forward the granddaughter theory, or maybe the professor put the photo in the bedroom before committing suicide to let No. 3 know about his relationship with the girl. I made a lot of assumptions and conjectures, and I think this is the most important thing." A conjecture consistent with the situation on the island and human relations."

"In this case, based on the time of death, No. 3 is the biggest suspect. From No. 3's autopsy report, it can be seen that No. 3's body has knife marks left by a caesarean section, which means that No. 3 has offspring. People who can care about this case Maybe only the offspring of the suspect." Liang Xi pointed at the old lady: "Is it her? I just listened but didn't talk about it, and didn't record it."

　Thanks to the lord of the "Legendary Beer" for his love, I would like to add more to show my gratitude.
