"Family photo?"
Jing Yuan couldn't understand the meaning of the photo, but the appearance of the Black Tower in it made him collect it anyway.
"Given that Black Tower is the young lady of this castle, then these two must be her parents."
Turn the photo over, and a date will appear.
December 2000, 1.
I looked up at the calendar on the wall, and the date was April 5, 2003.
"That is to say, this photo was taken three years ago."
Jing Yuan frowned. He had spent the whole day wandering around the castle and hadn't found any trace of anyone else living there, which meant that the young lady of the Black Tower basically lived alone.
"Looks like I'll have to ask Black Tower about it tomorrow."
Since he was able to find traces of Black Tower's past life here, he had reason to believe that Black Tower definitely knew something. If Black Tower confessed honestly, that would be fine; but if it intentionally concealed something, that would be quite interesting.
Looking out the window, Jingyuan noticed Fu Ningna's figure cautiously heading towards the garden's storage room, her constant turning back to look at her making one want to laugh.
"How lucky! We can change positions at night."
Jing Yuan was a little envious. Although he, as a doctor, had his own medicine room, he couldn't go to take refuge at night. Fu Ningna, the gardener, could actually go out, which made him a little envious.
He also wants that kind of identity.
"identity!"
Suddenly, Jing Yuan's heart pounded. He had always felt that something was missing, but now, thinking about his identity, it made him think of many things.
"My God, could the killer be Him?!"
"Click."
A crisp sound rang out, and Jing Yuan looked towards the door, immediately meeting the eyes of the person who pushed the door open and entered.
"No, you can still open the door with a key?"
Jing Yuan was shocked. You're not playing by the rules!
Looking at the gleaming dagger in the newcomer's hand, it was obvious without a doubt that this person was an assassin.
The newcomer didn't waste any words with him, but lunged forward and plunged the sharp knife in his hand into Jing Yuan's abdomen without any resistance.
"It really really is you..."
With his abdomen pierced, his life force rapidly drained away. Jing Yuan gave a bitter smile and slowly collapsed.
"Hehe, isn't that surprising?"
The person's voice had been altered, making it impossible to tell if they were male or female.
He stepped over Jingyuan, pushed open the room window, then opened the door with his blood-stained hands and strode away.
On the second day of Chapter 7, Jing Yuan was gone.
The next day.
It's 8 o'clock sharp in the morning.
Everyone gathered in the hall again.
Seeing Su Ze drinking his porridge as if nothing was wrong, the others looked miserable.
I was starving all day yesterday, and now you're trying to tempt me!
Lei Dianying ate some cake yesterday and felt okay today. He looked around and didn't see Jing Yuan. He asked, "Where's that Jing Yuan? Why isn't he coming down yet?"
The others' faces darkened; it was obvious they'd been murdered.
"Ahem." After finishing his bowl of eight-treasure porridge, Su Ze cleared his throat. "There was a murder last night. Mr. Jing Yuan has been killed. Since Mr. Jing Yuan's doctor status is invalid, you can now go to the crime scene to investigate."
Upon seeing that Jing Yuan was actually the first victim, the live stream audience immediately started discussing it.
[Fu Xuan: The screen went black and then lit up again, and Jing Yuan was gone!]
Time in reality and in space are different. Fu Xuan only felt the screen go black, and when it lit up again, Jing Yuan had already been killed. This left her speechless. She had been wondering if she could trick Jing Yuan into giving her the reward if he had won.
[Qingque: I knew it.]
[Ayato Kamisato: Bennett is awesome!]
[Kaeya: That's terrifyingly accurate.]
Bennett: I'm...sorry.
[Lisa: What are you apologizing for? What's it to you?]
Silver Wolf: Bennett, don't heal me next time.
[Star: Don't heal me either, it's too scary.]
[Jingyuan: Sigh...]
[March 7th: The victim has appeared! Tell us quickly, who is the murderer?]
[Jingyuan: I can't say it, I can't say it.]
Jing Yuan, who had already returned to the Immortal Ship, looked utterly dejected. He wasn't even allowed to mention that he had been eliminated.
[Fu Xuan: To be the first to be eliminated is a disgrace to the Immortal Ship's reputation. You should step down and give way to a more capable person.]
[Feixiao: I recommend Fu Xuan to take over the position of general.]
[Fu Xuan: Thank you, General Tianji. I have some Immortal's Joy Tea here, would you like some?]
[Fireworks: The Grand Diviner openly bribed public officials; I have evidence.]
[Jingyuan: I'm still alive.]
......................
within the space.
Led by Su Ze, the group arrived at the door of Room 1 in a grand procession, pushed the door open, and remained motionless.
"Prepare to break down the door."
With the door locked, the group had no choice but to break it down by force.
"No need, I have the key."
At this moment, Emerald slowly stepped forward, and to everyone's surprise, took out a bunch of keys and opened the door.
Upon entering, everyone's eyes narrowed; this was going to be a disaster.
At that moment, a doll representing Jing Yuan lay beside the desk, blood pooling on the floor. The windows were wide open, and a gentle breeze blew in, lifting the curtains and sweeping across the doll's body, staining it with blood.
Hei Ta slowly walked over to the doll and squatted down, immediately noticing the two large characters written in blood by Jing Yuan.
【key.】
"Ok?"
Now, everyone's eyes turned to the jade.
"Explain explain."
Fu Ningna stared intently at Emerald. Was this guy really the assassin?
Jade's lips twitched uncontrollably. Was Jing Yuan out of his mind? The way he wrote it made it obvious I was the murderer!
“I may have the key, but I am not the murderer. Moreover, I did not leave the room at all last night, and Xiao can testify to that.”
“Indeed.” Xiao nodded, confirming Emerald’s statement: “I kept watch on the third floor all night and didn’t see anyone leave.”
Emerald breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiao had stayed on the third floor all night, otherwise she would have been in a real predicament.
"Let's look for other clues first."
Xiao also felt that Jade didn't seem to be the murderer, so he squatted down in front of the doll.
"A single stab hit a vital spot." He then looked at other areas: "The windows were wide open, but the furniture was intact, with no signs of a struggle."
"It is speculated that Mr. Jingyuan did not resist, or was simply unable to resist."
The others nodded in agreement, clearly indicating that Jing Yuan was not resisting.
"Alright, the site reconnaissance is complete. The bodyguards can now lead their men to explore the remaining personnel's work areas. Remember, only three areas can be explored."
Seeing that everyone had figured out the cause of Jingyuan's death, Su Ze began the next steps.
"Scan the area." Xiao frowned. He only had three chances, and he couldn't waste them. "Let's check the kitchen first."
Jingyuan was clearly injured by a knife, which made Xiao immediately want to go to the kitchen to check, since there were knives there.
But this displeased Lei Films, who accused them of being the murderer.
But since this was Xiao's ability, she had no choice but to follow the others towards the kitchen.
.......
Upon entering the kitchen, the group was immediately stunned.
Why is the ceiling dark?
"Wow, the walls are covered in oil."
What exactly happened here?
Although the group knew Lei Yingdian couldn't cook and that she had made quite a commotion yesterday, they weren't allowed to investigate other people's work areas. So it wasn't until now that they discovered just how much noise Lei Yingdian had caused yesterday.
"Ahem...Aren't we looking for clues? Why aren't you looking?"
Lei Movie turned his head away embarrassedly. We're looking for clues, why are you focusing on the ceiling?
"Right."
Thinking about it, it makes sense; it's best to look for clues now. He looked around the kitchen, examining it carefully.
Suddenly, Black Tower pointed to a wall with knives hanging on it and asked, "Were there knives here before?"
This is a wall of knives, covered with them, but there's an empty space in the middle that's quite conspicuous.
"I...I don't know."
Lei shook her head. Yesterday, she was thinking about how to cook, and she didn't really pay much attention to the things in the kitchen.
"Yes, there used to be a sharp knife hanging here."
It was Jade's voice at this moment that confirmed that there had been a knife there before.
"how do you know?"
"I am a maid, and I washed the dishes yesterday."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood, but the suspicion surrounding Jade increased once again. "You have access to other areas and a key; that's a bit scary."
Chapter 8 Watch me, Funina, take you flying!
After searching the kitchen for a long time, the only clue they found was that the knife was missing.
Xiao led his men to the jade tool room again.
After all, Jade is the prime suspect right now, so we still need to investigate her work area.
As soon as they pushed open the door, they immediately smelled a faint odor of blood.
"Ok?"
After years of killing, Xiao was all too familiar with this taste.
"Search!"
Without hesitation, he strode inside.
This is the maid's tool room, which is mostly filled with cleaning tools and looks quite messy.
But the room is so small, it's still easy to search.
In no time, Xiao pulled out a blood-stained dagger from the corner.
"Oh ho ho."
