Walter also shared his opinion:

"It seems the rumors circulating are true."

"[Death] does indeed randomly select victims."

"And judging from the notes he made on Sunday, he was no stranger to [death]."

Huang Quan added:

He was simply surprised by 'it's' reappearance.

The two continued searching and found a light cone in a hidden corner of the bookshelf.

The footage stored inside shows a young robin singing on a bench in a field covered with rag dolls.

Sunday and the dolls under the bench are cheering for her.

Huang Quan pondered:

"This light cone... has been carefully preserved."

"He must care a lot about this memory."

Walter nodded slightly:

"In an interview, Robin mentioned that even though she has performed on so many glamorous stages, the performance she cherishes most is the concert she held with her brother when they were children playing house."

Huang Quan was somewhat curious:

"I wonder what their relationship is like now."

Walter said calmly:

"In the process of growing up, you will always gain a lot, but you will also lose a lot."

Huang Quan nodded:

"Yes, time heals all wounds."

"The beautiful dreams of youth will eventually fade away."

The two treated the meeting room at Chaolu Mansion like their own home and continued to search around.

During this time, Walter also sat on the ground, constantly passing on valuable information to the train crew.

Before they knew it, the two had been searching around here for nearly an hour.

As he flipped through the pages, Walter suddenly frowned:

"not good."

Huang Quan quickly became alert and said in a deep voice:

"What's wrong? Have you spotted the enemy?"

"No."

Walter took out his phone and showed it to Huang Quan:

"The location here is too well-hidden; it's not shown on the map, so food delivery can't get in."

After exploring for so long, Walter was clearly feeling a bit hungry.

Even in a dream, the feeling of hunger still exists.

"Then...why don't we cook here?" Huang Quan suggested.

Did you bring any ingredients?

"A picnic?" Walter raised an eyebrow.

Chapter 695 You guys really consider this your home?

"Miss Huang Quan can cook?"

"I didn't intend to cook."

What do you need the ingredients for?

"I was thinking of suggesting you cook."

"..."

"Mr. Walter can't cook?"

"No, I didn't bring any ingredients."

"..."

……

The two continued searching the room.

Finally, we found them another useful document.

[Suspect List]

[Honorable Head of the Oak Family:]

[The investigation into all suspects in the 'death' case has been completed. A summary is provided below for your review.]

[—Your faithful servant, Isma Delort]

[appendix:]

[Ryan, an employee at Oakwood General, with short gray hair, is lazy and often caught slacking off at work.]

[Percy, an oak-haired diplomat with curly black hair, suffers from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and cannot work until he has properly tied his tie and checked it five times.]

[Rayce, an oak diplomat with long grey hair, a devoted fan of the clock boy, and has a penchant for clock-related elements in almost every aspect of her life.]

[Connor, a professor at Origami University, has short red hair and is known among his students as a hidden master due to his unkempt and haphazard attire.]

[Dolani, Origami University Professor...]

The list contains 52 suspects, followed by a note from Sunday: [There may be some commonality; a conclusion has been reached.]

Huang Quan said in a deep voice:

“Mr. Sunday’s research on the suspect is very thorough—this traitor must have troubled the family for a long time.”

Walter flipped through the documents:

“They all look like family members… but I’ve never met any of them before.”

Suddenly, Huang Quan froze:

"Huh? These features..."

Walter looked towards the Yellow Springs:

"What is Miss Huang Quan thinking of?"

"It's nothing." Huang Quan gently shook his head.

"I'm probably overthinking it... If this traitor really exists, could it be that he's the one who killed Firefly and Miss Robin?"

Walter said in a deep voice:

"Perhaps that's why Sunday is such a big deal."

The two continued searching and found another letter from the alfalfa family.

[To Sunday:]

I have heard about the robin incident, and I deeply regret it.

[But I must also remind you that you are now not only an elder brother, but also the head of the Oak family.]

Your every move will affect the interests of the entire Pinocchio company.

[Pinocone is going through a sensitive period right now, so you must not let personal hatred cloud your judgment, lest someone find fault with you.]

[I've heard that you're planning to devote a significant amount of time and resources to searching for 'death'—an act that is not in the family's current overall interest.]

[I advise you to stop immediately, lest you be impeached by other family heads.]

[You are convinced that 'death' is connected to the 'clockmaker,' but I had dealings with that 'clockmaker' long before the dreamer adopted you and your siblings.]

[And he never discovered any connection between himself and that memory domain meme.]

[Now that you hold the high position of head of the Oak family, you must learn to assess the situation and see the big picture from small details; you must never exhaust Pinocchio's manpower and resources for the sake of avenging one person, thus bringing shame upon God!]

[With the grand music festival fast approaching, the 'Watchmaker's' distinguished guests are all eager to make their move. If we were to delay Dominic's arrival, neither of us could bear the blame.]

[I hope you can control your personal emotions, shoulder the responsibilities of the Oak family, focus on the Harmony Ceremony, and avoid any external interference.]

[Besides the grand ceremony, the guests of honor of the 'watchmaker' also deserve special attention.]

[If this matter is not handled properly, it could escalate into a diplomatic conflict between the family and other factions, dragging us all into an avoidable dispute.]

As an elder, I hope you will remember the implications of this and handle it appropriately.

[As for the robin incident, there's still room to investigate it after the ceremony.]

[At that time, I will provide you with resources and help in the name of alfalfa to help you bring your enemy to justice.]

[Furthermore, I've heard that the 'dream master' is not entirely satisfied with your recent actions.]

[I hope you will be careful with your words and actions, and behave yourself accordingly.]

[—Your sincere old Austria.]

After reading it, Walter commented:

"It seems that Pinocchio's 'dream master' and this old Mr. Otti are both not very satisfied with Sunday's recent performance."

Huang Quan nodded slightly:

"They didn't seem to care so much about 'death,' but rather about the Harmony Ceremony and the watchmaker."

Walter spoke again:

"Perhaps other family heads don't think 'death' is a big problem... There are also many internal conflicts and obstacles within the family."
