Realizing that something might have happened, several people began to run towards the manor at an accelerated speed.

"Block the intersection and don't let anyone leave."

"Go find the security team."

Even from a distance, Yoshikazu Tsugakuni could hear the panicked voice of the servant who had guided them before coming from the entrance of the manor.

Unlike the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the manor before, at this moment one can see many servants holding weapons, running around nervously.

And you can also hear faint crying sounds coming from the manor.

"what happened."

Seriou was the first to rush to the manor. She looked at the servant who had just received them with confusion.

From the servant's pale and frightened face, she could vaguely guess that something bad had happened.

"The master was killed."

"Even the valuables in the warehouse disappeared."

When the servant saw Selius and his group coming back, he felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw. He was once panicked, but now he calmed down a lot.

Soon he told Selius everything that had happened.

"Let's go take a look."

"Iyeas, go organize the guards and have them guard the entire manor."

After hearing what the servant said, Seriou quickly understood what had happened. She began assigning tasks to each of them: "Shayou, go gather more team members to block the intersection."

"Yuichi, come with me."

Inside the manor.

In a carpeted and luxuriously decorated room, a fat man lay dead on the bed.

His head was split open and his entire body was almost split in half.

On the walls of the house, you can see blood splattered and clearly starting to dry.

"The wound is smooth. The opponent is a very powerful swordsman."

"And the time of death was last night."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi took a quick look at the scene and then checked the murdered male owner.

He quickly came to a conclusion.

Although he didn't actually take action many times in his life, he was able to keenly perceive some details that ordinary people could hardly observe.

"Killed last night?"

"According to what those two servants said, there are always people guarding the door here at night."

Seriou looked at the layout of the entire room and her brows soon frowned.

There are no windows in this room. The only thing there is a very small vent, and no one can get in through that small vent.

The only exit is the guarded gate.

Then the key point of this murder case falls on the person in charge of guarding.

Based on his inference, Serius quickly found two responsible guards.

After listening to the two guards, she quickly overturned her previous judgment.

The two guards stayed at the gate outside the castle at night.

Moreover, the door of this house is very tightly locked, and only the owner has the key.

There was no way they could open the door.

Another very important point is that everything was normal last night and they did not hear any fighting sounds at all.

"He must have lost consciousness before he died."

"You can see this from his rather serene face."

Tsugikuni Yoshiichi looked at the vent, and he always had a feeling.

The murderer came in through that vent.

And from some footprints on the ground, he could tell that there were two murderers.

"Could it be that there are strange creatures like ghosts in this world?"

After fighting with ghosts for decades, Yuichiro Tsuchikuni has seen all kinds of ghosts.

Therefore, it is not too incredible that something could get through such a narrow vent.

Chapter 27: Speculation, Suspicious Kitten

"It seems that things are getting complicated."

"Let's interrogate everyone first."

Serio nodded at Tsugikuni Yoriichi's inference.

Although it seems unlikely that someone inside the manor killed the manor owner, it is still necessary to be on the safe side.

Serius still decided to investigate these people.

"You guys were the ones who did it, right?"

"Apart from the power of your imperial weapon, how else could an ordinary person possess such a means?"

After coming out of the room, Sai Liu began to ponder. In fact, it was after he first learned that the treasure house of the manor owner had also been emptied.

Her first suspect was Ye Xiu.

However, as a security guard, she wanted to find sufficient evidence.

Therefore, Seliu began to investigate the matter according to normal procedures.

After re-screening it, Seriou became more and more certain of his initial guess.

But now she is not completely sure that this was definitely done by the people who attacked at night.

The interrogation was very long.

The interrogation lasted from noon to evening, and all the interrogation was finally declared over.

"Finally, I've finished asking."

"It's been a busy day."

After questioning the last person in the manor, Serio yawned.

In order to find the culprit as soon as possible, she never stopped from the beginning of the interrogation.

"Yuichi, you seem to be worried."

"Looks a little glum."

Soon, Seryu noticed something unusual about Tsugikoku Yoriichi, and she asked with concern, "Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you."

"I just feel that life is too fragile."

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a tragic death scene."

Ji Guoyuan waved his hand, sat next to Sai Liu, and sorted out all the information from today's interrogation.

This was the first time he had seen death since he came to this world.

Although he was not unfamiliar with death, he still felt a little uncomfortable every time he saw it.

"You'll see more of them in the Guard later."

"People die every day in the imperial capital, but most of these deaths happen quietly."

Seru was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Tsugikoku Yoshiichi had such a side to him.

She wanted to say something to comfort Yuichiro Tsugikuni, but after thinking for a while, she suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know how to comfort people.

In the end, she could only follow her father's example and tell Yoriichi Tsugikuni the crueler side of the world.

It seems that compared with such a more cruel fact, the discomfort caused by the current situation will be reduced a little.

"Ah."

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi didn't say much, he just nodded.

He and Seryu have different views on the treatment of life, but Tsugikuni Yoriichi does not stubbornly demand that everyone be the same as him.

He just wanted to stick to his own way of dealing with things, that's all.

"It seems that everyone in the manor can be ruled out as a suspect."

"Then the vast majority of the people we are tracking are likely to be from outside."

After carefully reading the interrogation materials, Serio made his own judgment.

She focused her attention on her initial guess.

"It really has nothing to do with the people in the manor."

"But if it's someone outside the manor, who could it be?"

Tsugikoku Yoshiichi conducted the entire review with Sero, so he completely agreed with Sero's inference.

And now he has some rough guesses about the whole incident.

It is very likely that one murderer entered through the ventilation duct, opened the door, and another accomplice followed in.

Afterwards, they killed the manor owner who was lying on the bed.

"The other party might be someone who possesses an imperial weapon."

"The most likely scenario is a night raid, but the style this time is a little different."

Seriou gave her own inference, but she was a little confused.

She had come into contact with Ye Xiu quite a few times. In the past, if Ye Xiu wanted to kill someone, he would always kill him directly. It was rare for him to do it silently like today.

Those people were not afraid of their guards at all.

Today's murderer doesn't seem to be very strong, so he needs to hide like this.

"Is it a Teigu?"

"What kind of people are the Night Raid?"

Yoshikazu Tsugakuni sat in his chair in silence. He only learned about things like imperial weapons after joining the security team.

Compared to the Sun Blade, the Imperial Tool is obviously much more powerful.

Moreover, much of the power of the people in this world comes from imperial tools, which makes Yoriichi Tsugakuni feel bad.

In his opinion, only one's own power is the most reliable, so he has no interest in the so-called imperial weapons.

In addition, after joining the security team, he had heard the words "night attack" more than once.

At first, Yoriichi Tsugikuni had no interest in night attacks, but now he is gradually becoming interested in them.

"Master, Sister Seriou."

"We've searched everywhere, but we haven't gotten any useful information."

Shayu and Iyeas came in from the gate of the manor, and it could be seen from their tired appearance that they were a little tired.

The area covered by the two men throughout the afternoon was not small.

Sayu came over first and reported to Tsugikoku Yoshiichi and Seryu on the progress of their work that day.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's getting late, let's go get something to eat."

Serio poured some water for Shayou, although the matter was not yet completely settled.

But it was finally over. After a busy day, she realized that no one had eaten any food yet.

"Great!"
