In a transparent glass in front of Li Ye, more than a dozen thin and slender tea leaves were quietly suspended on the water, and a clear tea fragrance escaped along with the faint green smoke coming out of the cup.

Li Ye, who was sitting at the long table, picked up the cup of tea placed in front of him, brought it to his lips and took a sip, and when the bitter liquid touched the tip of Li Ye's tongue, his spirit was immediately lifted.

After waiting until the tea flowed all the way down his throat into his abdomen, Li Ye's mouth inexplicably gave birth to a sweet aftertaste, and the fragrance of tea wrapped around his lips and teeth did not dissipate for a long time.

"Good tea, really good tea. Li Ye secretly praised in his heart, although Li didn't understand tea, he also knew that this was indeed a good cup of tea.

Putting down the teacup, Li Ye's gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the hall one by one, and he found that except for Liam, who was still a little confused by Ye Mengying's kick just now, everyone else looked at him with a little more jealousy at the moment.

Li was also quite satisfied with this, because it shocked everyone, and it would be easier for him to ask something later when he made routine inquiries.

"Officer Li, I've called everyone here, if Officer Li has anything to ask, then ask!" Oliver, the butler, said to Lee.

"Okay. Li also put down the teacup in his hand, turned his head to Ye Mengying, and motioned for her to prepare paper and pen, because there were some important things that might need to be recorded.

However, in the face of Li Ye's eyes, Ye Mengying, who was very alert when Li Ye was in danger just now, was at a loss this time, and didn't understand what Li Ye meant by suddenly staring at her.

"Mengying take out the pen and paper!" Li Ye saw that Ye Mengying just blinked at himself with big eyes, with a stunned expression, but there was no movement in his hand, so he could only say directly helplessly.

Seeing the helplessness on Li Ye's face, Ye Mengying also felt quite aggrieved, she took out the paper and pen she brought from the backpack behind her, and couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "If you have something to say, just say it! Staring at others, who knows what you mean!"

Ye Mengying thought that her voice was very soft, only she could hear it, but unfortunately although Li Ye was highly myopic, his hearing was quite good, so Ye Mengying's dissatisfied muttering was all heard clearly by Li Ye, which made Li couldn't help crying and laughing.

It seems that there is still a long way to go if he and Ye Mengying want to form a tacit understanding!

However, Li also found that although Ye Mengying was shy, she still talked a lot at work, and it was not as difficult to communicate as she had imagined before, which made Li also quite pleased.

"Ahem, guys, I want to know who among you was the first to discover Count Edward's body. Li Ye waited until Ye Mengying took out the pen and paper, then cleared his throat and asked aloud to everyone in the hall.

"Yes, it's me!" Dick, who was sitting across from Li Ye, looked at Li Ye and responded.

While waiting for the servant to serve tea, the butler Oliver had already whispered to Li and introduced everyone in the hall, so Lee also knew that the short young man in front of him was the adopted son of Earl Edward, but he didn't understand why Dick paused when he answered just now, as if he was hesitating.

"Young Master Dick, can you tell me exactly how you found the Count's body?" asked Li Ye.

"Okay Officer Li, here's the thing, this morning, around 5:05, I came back from outside, I wanted to go straight back to the bedroom to rest, but when I passed by my father's study, I suddenly smelled a very strong smell of blood. I immediately realized that something was wrong, and when I opened the door, I saw my father's body in the study. Dick spoke in a heavy tone to Lee about his discovery of Count Edward's body.

"I see, Master Dick, I would like to take the liberty of asking, you just said that you returned to the castle from outside about five o'clock, so I would like to know what time you went out and what you went out for. Although Lee was polite when he was questioned, his eyes were closely watching the expression on Dick's face.

"Officer Li, are you suspicious of me?" Feeling Li Ye's burning gaze, Dick didn't answer Li Ye's question, but asked with a frown.

"Of course not, it's just a routine inquiry. Li also shook his head, his expression was very flat, and he couldn't tell whether his answer was true or false.

"Well, I left the castle with everyone at eleven o'clock last night, and we were there to ......."

Dick was just halfway through his sentence when he was suddenly interrupted by Li Ye, "Everyone, Master Dick, do you mean everyone in the castle, including Steward Oliver and your servants." ”

"Yes. Dick nodded.

The Sun-Feared Bloods are creatures that walk in the dark, so it's not surprising that they go out in the middle of the night, but the fact that the entire castle chooses to leave the castle together at the same time is something worth studying.

And just as Lee wanted to continue to ask, Earl Edward's younger brother Karl spoke at this time.

"Officer Li, don't be surprised. Yesterday, July 8th, was the Arnold Day of our Fanzhuo clan, and according to the customary festival every year, we would go to the nearby mountains to make sacrifices, so yesterday we went to worship together. ”

Arnold Fanzhuo, one of the most famous powerhouses in the history of the Fanzhuo clan.

Arnold Fanzhuo not only made great achievements in the thousand-year-old holy war between the blood clan and the demon clan, but also made an extremely important contribution to the fact that the current Fanzhuo clan can have a considerable voice in the entire blood clan.

Therefore, in order to celebrate the great achievements of Arnold Fanzo and out of reverence for their ancestors, the Fanjo clan specially established Arnold Fanzo Day as Arnold Memorial Day on July 8 every year.

On the day of remembrance, the Vanzhuo clan around the world holds various grand events such as sacrifices, hunting, and celebrations to commemorate the ancestor Arnold Vanzhuo.

Li is not a blood clan, of course, he has not heard of Arnold Day, a festival that belongs to the Fanzhuo clan, but in fact, Arnold Memorial Day is not important to Li Ye, because Li also cares about the reason why everyone in the castle left the castle together, and what they did after leaving the castle.

However, the reason Karl said also solved his previous doubts about why no one in the castle found and stopped Count Edward during the murder.

"Since yesterday's anniversary was very important, why didn't Count Edward go with you to the sacrifice?" said Lee, who also posed a new question to the people in the hall.

"Because yesterday my brother needed to receive a very important guest. Carl answered Lee's question.

"Who's the important guest?"

"Yes......"

Carl was about to answer, but his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a small black dot stained on the table to his right.

Although the small black dot would not necessarily be found even if one looked for it, there was still a hint of displeasure in Karl's eyes, and he took out a white handkerchief that he had placed in his breast pocket and wiped it against the small black dot.

It wasn't until the black dot was completely wiped clean that Karl's face showed a satisfied expression.

"Colin, come here. Karl pointed to a manservant standing nearby, beckoned him to him, and threw the dirty handkerchief in his face with a flick of his hand.

"Elder!" the manservant named Colin naturally did not dare to dodge, so he could only let the handkerchief smash into his face.

Colin looked at Carl in fear, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble, because he was the one in charge of cleaning the hall today, and Carl was notoriously strict in the castle, so Colin didn't know what kind of punishment he would face next because of his little negligence.

But perhaps because there were outsiders, Carl did not punish Colin on the spot, but only warned Colin in a gloomy tone: "Colin, if there is a next time, you know what the consequences will be." ”

After a brief hiccup, Carl looked at Li Ye again, and at the same time gave an apologetic look, "I'm sorry Officer Li, let's go on! Where did we just talk about! Oh yes! You asked my brother who the guest he received yesterday was." Uh! it's Mutu, the leader of the werewolves. ”

When Li Ye heard Carl say Mutu's name, his eyes lit up at first, but then Li Ye felt very puzzled, and he asked Karl, "Elder Karl, with the relationship between you and the werewolves, why did Mutu come to the earl?"

"Is this!" Karl did not answer, but fell into hesitation, as if he did not know whether to tell Li Ye the truth.

"Elder Karl, if you want to catch the Earl's murderer as soon as possible, then I must know the whole story of the case, so I hope you will not have any concerns and be able to answer truthfully. ”

"Well, it's nothing, it's just that our recent suppression of the werewolves may be a little unbearable on the werewolf side, so Mutu came to the Earl in the hope of reaching a temporary reconciliation agreement with us. After listening to Li Ye's persuasion, Karl finally told the reason why Mutu had come to the earl.

Although Carl said it very lightly, he was able to let the werewolf leader Mutu personally come to the door to reconcile, which shows that the blood clan must have made a big move against the werewolf recently, causing the werewolf to suffer huge losses.

And if Li also digs deeper into this matter, he will definitely be able to find out a lot of problems, which is why Carl was so hesitant just now.

However, finding trouble with the blood clan was not the purpose of Li Ye's trip, so Li Ye did not dwell too much on why Mu Tu came to Count Edward, but turned around and asked, "Then Elder Karl, do you know when Mu Tu came to find the Earl and when he left. ”

"I don't know about that, because Mutu hadn't come when we left the castle, and we didn't see Mutu when we got back. Carl replied with a shake of his head.
