The sun was bright and dazzling at noon, but the thick black curtains hanging from the window of Earl Edward's study blocked most of the sunlight from the window, making the whole study very dim.

In such a dim environment, it was obviously not conducive to investigating the scene, so Ye Mengying came to the window, she wanted to open the curtains to let the sunlight outside completely shine in.

"Dream Shadow, don't move!"

But Ye Mengying had just pulled the corner of the curtain, and suddenly heard Li Ye shouting behind her, which scared her into a spirit.

"What's wrong, team leader?" Ye Mengying, who was taken aback, didn't know what was going on, but she immediately stopped what she was doing.

"Dream Shadow, you'd better not open the curtains, although Count Edward is dead, the corpse of the blood clan can be easily damaged if it is exposed to the sun, which will not be conducive to the future forensic autopsy. Li also explained to Ye Mengying that when he saw Ye Mengying's reckless actions just now, he knew that Ye Mengying didn't know enough about the blood clan.

"I'm sorry team leader!" As soon as she heard that she had almost destroyed the corpse, Ye Mengying's little face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly apologized to Li Ye nervously.

"Forget it! pay attention next time!" Li also waved his hand, although Ye Mengying almost made a terrible mistake, but Ye Mengying was a newcomer after all, and a "girl", so Li didn't blame him too much.

However, it was inevitable that similar things would happen again, and Li Ye had an extra eye after that, he no longer focused on searching for clues, but from time to time he used the corner of his eye to look at what Ye Mengying was doing.

Leaving from the window, Ye Mengying came to Count Edward's desk, because her eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a goblet placed on Count Edward's desk, of course, what caught Ye Mengying's attention was not the cup, but some dark red liquid remaining in the cup.

Ye Mengying walked over, picked up the goblet, and shook the cup slightly, the liquid in the cup looked very viscous, because the liquid level did not tilt much with Ye Mengying's shaking.

Seeing this, Ye Mengying couldn't help but move in her heart, she put the goblet in front of her and sniffed it, and suddenly a pungent smell of blood rushed into her nose.

The dark red liquid in this cup should be blood, as for whether it is human blood or the blood of some other animal, Ye Mengying can't confirm it for the time being.

In addition to the smell of blood, Ye Mengying, who has always had a keen sense of smell, also smelled something else from the liquid, but because the smell of blood was too strong, it almost completely covered up the smell, so Ye Mengying didn't know how to describe the smell.

In line with the idea of not letting go of any doubts, Ye Mengying wanted to ask Li Ye to come over and have a look.

But when Ye Mengying looked at Li Ye, she saw that Li Ye was squatting not far from Earl Edward's corpse at this time, as if she had found something, she hurriedly walked over with a goblet.

"Team leader, have you found anything?" Ye Mengying walked up to Li Ye and asked curiously.

Li also turned his head when he heard Ye Mengying's voice, and he saw that Ye Mengying was looking at him curiously, but he was holding a goblet in his hand that he got out of nowhere, so Li also asked strangely: "Mengying, what are you doing with a cup?"

"Oh! I found it on the table over there. Ye Mengying said, stretched out her slender finger and pointed to Earl Edward's desk.

"The team leader's cup is full of blood, and it smells strange. ”

It is normal for vampires to drink blood, but Li also heard Ye Mengying say that there was a strange smell in the blood in the cup, and his heart immediately sank, and he immediately took the goblet from Ye Mengying's hand.

"There's nothing else in there, huh?"

However, Li also smelled it several times, but he didn't smell anything except the smell of blood, and couldn't help but look up at Ye Mengying suspiciously.

"Some team leaders, but the smell is very light, and it is really difficult for ordinary people to smell it, and I have a good sense of smell since I was a child. Ye Mengying saw that Li Ye didn't seem to believe in himself, and hurriedly said.

"Really, then you can put it back first! Anyway, when the time comes, they will definitely bring this cup back for testing. ”

After listening to Ye Mengying's explanation, Li Ye still behaved suspiciously, which made Ye Mengying slightly disappointed, but she still nodded obediently.

After putting the goblet in her hand back on the desk in its original position, Ye Mengying came to Li Ye's side again, she took a closer look at the ground, the ground paved with teak wood was very clean, and there was not even a single hair, which made Ye Mengying ask suspiciously: "Team leader, what are you looking at? There is nothing here?"

"It's true that there is nothing, but do you see if there is any difference between this floor and the floor next to it?" Li Ye also tapped the two floors in front of him with his hand and said to Ye Mengying.

After being reminded by Li Ye, Ye Mengying looked at it again, and really saw a little doorway, although the two floors that Li also pointed to were very clean, but one of them had obviously been specially wiped, so it was cleaner.

"Team leader, this ground has been cleared. ”

"That's right, I suspect that the murderer must have stepped on the blood stains on the ground, so he accidentally left footprints, and in order to cover up the traces, this floor was specially wiped again. Li also said, and in order to test his suspicions, he took out a small watering can from the satchel he carried with him.

Li also aimed the spout of the watering can at the floor in front of him, pressed the handle, and a stream of yellowish transparent liquid immediately shot out of the watering can and spilled onto the floor.

Then, in the dim light of the study, a faint blue-purple fluorescence soon lit up on the floor.

The liquid that was sprayed from the watering can in Li Ye's hand just now was a blood-revealing agent specially used to detect blood stains at the crime scene, and its main ingredients were luminol and a small amount of hydrogen peroxide.

The basic principle that the hemoglobin in human blood contains iron, and iron can catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, so that hydrogen peroxide becomes water and monooxygen, and the monooxygenation of luminol can make it glow, thus playing the role of detecting blood stains.

"That's true!" Ye Mengying exclaimed in a low voice when he saw the blue-purple fluorescence lit up on the floor.

But then Ye Mengying felt that Li Ye's discovery seemed to be meaningless, because after the bloody footprints on the ground were wiped by someone, there was basically no way to judge the height and weight of the murderer through it.

Li also saw the change in the expression on Ye Mengying's face, and he had already guessed what she was thinking, so he explained: "Actually, in addition to here, I have also seen many similar traces in other places around Count Edward's body, which proves that the murderer has spent a lot of effort to clean up the scene, if you count the time when he subdued Count Edward and tortured him to death before, it means that the murderer stayed at the scene of the crime for a long time." And for such a long period of time, coupled with some noise that will inevitably be made in the process, there is no reason why the rest of the people in the castle should not notice the anomaly. ”

"Team leader, do you mean that Count Edward's death was done by the people in the castle?" Ye Mengying was very smart, and she immediately understood what Li Ye meant.

"It can only be said that this possibility cannot be ruled out for the time being. Although Li Ye guessed so in his heart, he didn't say anything to death, after all, the investigation had just begun, and there were still few clues at hand.

Just as Li Ye and Ye Mengying were discussing the case, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then the two saw a young woman in a white coat leading a group of forensic personnel to appear at the door of Earl Edward's study.

The long flaxen-colored hair parted from the sides to reveal a smooth forehead, a pair of red phoenix eyes under the curved eyebrows were clear and bright, the bridge of the nose was high, and a pair of full pale lips were slightly pursed.

The young woman in the lead is very beautiful, especially the cold temperament between her eyebrows, which makes Ye Mengying, who is also a woman, can't help but shine.

"Qianxue, you're here!" Li Ye immediately greeted the young woman in the white coat with a smile on his face.

The young woman's name is Shen Qianxue, and she is a forensic doctor in the forensic department of the Special Management Bureau, and Li also has a lot of contact with her at work, so the two are quite familiar.

"Li Ye, and you are responsible for this case?" Shen Qianxue was slightly surprised when she saw Li Ye.

Because Shen Qianxue heard that she was in charge of the autopsy not long ago, and the murderer was just caught by Li Ye yesterday, she didn't expect Li Ye to take over a new case without even a day of rest.

"There's no way, the section chief specially called me to the office to hand over the case to me, and I can't refuse it. Li also lifted the black-framed wide-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said helplessly.

"It's not that you can't refuse, it's that you just beat someone, you can't refuse!" Shen Qianxue also heard that Li Ye beat Hao Jun to an inhuman shape, so she complained unceremoniously about Li Yedao.

Li is also very familiar with Shen Qianxue and knows her character, so he didn't take Shen Qianxue's ridicule to heart, but just smiled to resolve his embarrassment.

At this time, Ye Mengying also came over, Shen Qianxue had not seen Ye Mengying, so she asked Li Ye: "Who is she?"

"Oh! Let me introduce you, this is Ye Mengying, a new member of our investigation team. This is Shen Qianxue Shen Forensic Medicine of the Forensic Department. Li also introduced Ye Mengying and Shen Qianxue respectively.

"Hello Forensic Doctor Shen!"

"Hello!"

After Ye Mengying and Shen Qianxue finished greeting each other, Li Ye said to Shen Qianxue: "Qianxue, since the people from your forensic department are here, Mengying and I won't disturb your work, let's go to the other people in the castle first to understand the situation, and then come back to you." ”

Shen Qianxue didn't agree, just nodded lightly, indicating that she knew.

In the castle hall, a magnificent candlestick was placed on the long table in the center, and the candle flame was gently flickering, just like the mood of everyone in the hall at this time, apprehensive, anxious, or indifferent.

Liam, who was standing at the door of the hall, felt that he had been wandering in place for a long time, and then he couldn't help but ask the butler Oliver impatiently, "Oliver, what's the situation? Why have we waited here for so long, and those two people from the Secret Service haven't come down?" ”

"Master Liam, please be patient and wait! I think it may be that Officer Li and his colleagues have just gone up, and there are some things that need to be explained, and when the explanation is over, they should come down soon. Butler Oliver knew that his young master was an impatient, so he comforted.

"Patience wait! Patience wait! These cops have really big shelves. Liam said in frustration and slammed his hand into a stone pillar standing beside him.

"Liam, it's no wonder to others, who asked you to call the police, according to me, we don't need outsiders to interfere in the affairs of our blood clan at all, we should solve it ourselves. "It was Carl Vanjo, the elder of the Vanzo clan and the younger brother of Count Edward.

Although Carl is the elder of the clan and the elder of Liam, Liam has never had a good impression of his uncle, and he is very irritable now, so when he saw Carl come out at this time, he immediately took him as his target.

Liam hurried back to the living room, glared at Carl with a gloomy face, and said, "Uncle, what do you mean by this, are you blaming me?"

"I didn't say that!" Karl snorted at Liam's question, replying nonchalantly.

Carl's contemptuous attitude made Liam even more dissatisfied, and he angrily pointed at Carl, who was sitting at the main seat of the long table, and said angrily: "Uncle, since you think you can find out the murderer of my father, why are you still sitting here? Shouldn't you go to the murderer? And why are you sitting in my father's seat?"

"What do you mean by that, Liam, you dare to talk to me like that, believe it or not I'll kill you!" Kalten stood up from his chair, as he felt that Liam's words were alluding to something.

"Hahaha! Kill me! You can try it!" Liam laughed maniacally at the sight of Carl's threat, and then rolled up his sleeves without showing any weakness.

Dick, who was sitting next to Carl, saw that Carl and Liam had an argument, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Okay, uncle, Liam, you two calm down, a little thing, why bother?"

"Dick, you don't talk nonsense, do you want to be cleaned up by me, too? Before Dick could finish speaking, Liam shifted his fierce gaze to Dick's.

Seeing this, Dick couldn't help but be a little annoyed, he just kindly persuaded him, but he didn't expect Liam not only not to listen to the persuasion, but to point the finger at him again.

However, Dick didn't want to have a conflict with Liam, so he looked at Qin Xuexin, who had been sitting in the dark corner of the hall, hoping that she would come forward to mediate at this time.

Gently shaking the bright red liquid in the wine glass, Qin Xuexin sat comfortably on the sofa, seemingly unaware of Dick's gaze for help from her.

But in fact, Qin Xuexin has seen everything that happened in the hall from beginning to end, but she doesn't want to care, because at this moment Qin Xuexin just wants to enjoy this "tranquility" that belongs to her.
