Chapter 168: The Murder at the Earl's Castle (2)

The Bradley family looks rich and wealthy, as evidenced by the quality of the food they enjoyed for dinner, and the restaurant's lavish dΓ©cor and the style of the ancient statues and paintings suggest that the owner of the castle is a loyal believer in the moon goddess Sehanny.

Is the Divine Domain the Moon Goddess of Love and Deception?

This is an uncommon family belief, generally inclined to commercial money, the goddess of wealth Evangela, the nobles who are inclined to power and glory will believe in the sun god Pero, and military more inclined to the god of battle.

Tang Xin silently observed the ancient castle and secretly recorded this suspicion.

After the players finished their meal, the servants led the players to their respective rooms.

The scale of the castle is huge, Tang Xin estimates that there are at least two hundred rooms, complex stairs criss-cross, leading to different floors or mezzanine floors, and there are also steep and dark stairs leading to the door of a certain room, the whole castle is like a huge labyrinth, if there are no servants to guide the way, if they go by themselves, they will definitely get lost.

According to the steward, when this castle was built, it was the summer residence of the royal family at that time, so there are many traps and secret passages hidden in the castle, which are not even clear to the people who live in the castle today.

There have been thieves who have infiltrated the castle before, and they fell into a trap for three days before they were discovered, and they were already dying when they were found. It's not far from death.

At night, the castle is illuminated by dim candles and oil lamps, and the corridors are still magnificent. Different paintings and sculptures adorn the walls on both sides, and the floor is covered with a thick woollen carpet that looks as if it would sink into it, while on the other hand, such a carpet does not make a sound even if you step on it with sharp heels, and the castle is made of masonry. I don't know how much cement, lime, and marble were used...... The soundproofing is absolutely sloppy.

If you take the professional vision of Tang Xin, a black list master who used to be a part-time bounty hunter, it can't be easier to kill people in this ancient castle. Either to kill players or NPCs, you may not need to use skills such as the Thief's stealth, these intricate staircases, secret passages hidden in the walls, and thick carpets...... This is a unique murder scene.

"Whew...... It's so comfortable. Tang Xin relaxed lazily.

The three of them were enjoying the huge hot spring pool in the bedroom, which was large enough to accommodate twenty people. While discussing the next step.

The butler said that the Countess's body was the first to be found, and that it was early in the morning, and that she had died as if she had fallen asleep, and that it was only when he touched her that she was found to be stiff, that he knew that she was dead, and that when she died, the bed was covered with roses. There are so many roses that they cover the whole bed and the whole person, and they are the petals of the rose garden of the castle. The person who found her was the second corpse, Edward, the nephew of the Countess. Spender ...... "Tang Xin introduced what she had just learned.

"Wait, what is my nephew doing when he goes to find his aunt early in the morning? There is adultery! "Yun Susu is worthy of her ID as a master, and the focus is extremely accurate.

"It is said that the nephew is a loser who does not learn and has no skills, and this time he came here to beg the countess for money, and the countess did not want to give it. Spender wanted to beg his aunt for this matter again, of course, these are all said by the servants, and it is not known if it is true...... The body of his nephew was found in the rose garden that afternoon, and he died with the same serene expression on his face, holding a rose in his hand, leaning on a bench in the pavilion in the garden, and coincidentally, the person who found him happened to be the third corpse, Miss Charlotte, the daughter of the count. ”

"I don't know which detective said that fifty percent of the murderers were the first to find the body, let me guess, the last unlucky cook to die was the one who found Charlotte's body." Liu's hand supports her jaw, which is a bit funny, but on the surface it looks very strict and cold.

"It's the cook...... But you are right, that is, she found Miss Charlotte dead in the tower, and her body was hung from the big bell in the tower, and the rope of the bell was tied around her neck, and it is said that the scene was very tragic, and the cook was found dead in the wine vat in the cellar, and when she died, her stomach was completely broken, and all her internal organs were hollowed out, which was equivalent to only a pair of skin bags soaked in wine, and the servants vomited out the overnight meal after reading it, and they had not eaten for several days, which should be the most horrible death among the several people. ”

"Two deaths are peaceful, two deaths are tragic...... It doesn't feel like it was killed by one person. Yun Susu speculated casually.

"Three nobles, a cook, for money? Not quite like ...... Is it a love killing, or a vendetta? "Liu Hotaru looks like a detective, and she looks full of posture, but it's obviously just a casual remark.

"Not necessarily...... Anyway, I'll check it out later, this information is all the words of the stewards and servants, and I have to check it to know. Tang Xin shook her head, she was not likely to solve the case, but her intuition was very accurate, and subconsciously, she felt that this matter did not seem to be so simple.

"Hehe, you said that I would sneak into the room of the rich second generation later, can I watch a live version of the Little Alphabet movie? I don't know if his little body can handle those two sexy beauties like wolves and tigers, don't fall in three seconds, wahahaha~" Yun Susu laughed to himself, the debauched laughter rippled in the bathroom, and those who didn't know thought that the three of them were doing something unsightly in the bathroom.

"Let's do it, meet in the room at midnight and gather up what we've got." As soon as the three of them gave the order, the three of them got busy.

At midnight, the trio converged in the room.

"I didn't expect the rich second generation to be quite long-lasting, but the foreplay is too long, and I will vomit when I see it......" Su Su spat out bitterness with an unbearable expression before getting to the point, "This rich second generation is the son of the president of Feihang Group, his real name is Jiang Junfeng, and his father Jiang Weixiong is a very famous investor, you should have heard of it." I specifically checked it, he is good at investing in stocks and futures, and he has his actions in various markets around the world. It's a big businessman with a lot of capital, but his son is a wreck, I've listened to it for so long, in addition to the name of the young model, I have heard no less than dozens, that is, his fox friends and dog friends circle all kinds of show off wealth, dinner and party itineraries or something. ”

"Vain and fond of beautiful women...... This weakness is still obvious. Generally, this kind of person has a good face, but he has some inferiority complex inside, don't look at the surface is muddy. In fact, I really want to prove myself in my heart, and such a person is better to provoke. Liuying analyzed lightly, and then began to report the information she had obtained, "Those three people are very strong. And very discreetly. I only got very little information, the boy who talked to Su Su before was called Green Leaf Buhuang, and the other two, one is called Yuezhixingsheng, and the other is called Chenzi Same...... The name is strange. ”

"Only names?" Tang Xin asked dumbfoundedly.

"Green Leaf is not yellow as a warlock, and it should be the route of the spirit contract, and they revealed in their conversation that he should have signed a natural contract with the power of the seasons in the fairy wilderness. Talking very sweetly, he's the old man of the trio. The sound of the moon stop line is his eldest brother, but as far as I can observe, this green leaf is not yellow, calm and sophisticated, and his thinking is clear, and he has the most words in the analysis of the murder case, not as simple as it seems...... "Liuhotaru spoke highly of the trio, she continued,

"The sound of the moon stop line except for Xiao Xianrou when he called him, proved that he was not mute, he basically didn't speak for a night, and he didn't get any information, he only knew that he was a swordsman, his sword I still look pretty good, the posture of holding the sword is also very standard, and the strength should be good, and Chenzi Sama is a priest, he looks a little lazy, often makes some funny and funny words, occasionally participates in the discussion of murders, and his logical thinking is not weak, and the rest ...... It's hard to see either. ”

Tang Xin shook his head, "It seems that this group of people is difficult to provoke, so they can only force the rich second generation to do it first...... Let's talk about me here first, I ran around with stealth and found that this castle is really not simple, there are no less than dozens of hidden mechanisms on the surface, and there are countless more hidden ones, and the workmanship is very good, the design is very ingenious, it is worth learning, so I spent some time recording these mechanisms, hehe......

Then I went to the Earl's bedroom, and the Count was a little strange, kneeling on a cushion, muttering something like a mantra or a prayer, and I recorded it, and so on, and there was music in the room, and the music was soft and beautiful, and it was lyrical, but the thing that made the sound was very strange, it was a creature I didn't recognize, round, and from a distance it looked like a ball of hair, but up close the eyes and nose were hidden in the white hair, and the sound came out of its mouth, and the rest was nothing special.

Then I went to the servants' bedrooms and eavesdropped on what they were gossiping about before going to bed, and found that they had not told the truth when they had been questioned beforehand...... At least not completely, probably because they themselves thought it was strange. ”

"What's the matter?" Both Liuying and Su Su were intrigued by Tang Xin's description.

"On the night of the Countess's death, someone heard the girl's singing in the courtyard, but when the servants went out to check, they found that the courtyard was empty, and that night the countess's appearance was also a little abnormal, according to the servants, usually the countess would soak in the milk bath every night and enjoy the massage, otherwise she would not sleep well, but on the night she was killed, she refused the servant's massage, and let the servants who served her rest first...... The gossip of the servants may be that the countess is planning to do something secretly, such as a secret tryst. ”

"A girl's singing? The only person who can be called a girl here is Charlotte, the earl's daughter, could it be ......" Liuying pondered.

"There were maidens among the servants, and the castle was inhabited by the Earl's other guests, among whom was Ford, the Earl's business partner. Viscount Hope's family, as well as Josie, a relative of the Earl who came to the castle. Lady Goldsworth and her daughter, as well as the countess's cousin, Lady Spender, who was the mother of the dead Edward, and Edward's two younger sisters...... There are a lot of girls among them. ”

"Wow, there are so many people? Why didn't you see any of them when you ate? Su Su was surprised, and she suddenly said, "Wait, I know, the murderer must be among these people!" That's it, there is only one truth. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It was late when we arrived, and the guests in the castle had already eaten. Tang Xin explained, and then was a little helpless, "But Su Su, the system throws the player in this ancient castle and can't get out, and the murderer is funny if he commits a crime from outside...... Because I learned of these people, I went to the other rooms, except for the Viscount and Viscount Hope, who were doing bedtime exercise, everyone else was asleep, and I want to talk to them, I am afraid that it will be tomorrow when it is time for breakfast, and I should be able to see them all. ”

"Boring, why do you go to bed so early? Then we don't have nothing to do at night, we can't sleep now, our real body is in deep sleep, our in-game body is also lying on the bed in the hotel, now we are all mirrors of the game map, sleep now...... Damn, I'm a little dizzy. Su Su said and said a little confused, "This 3v3 game is very unscientific, forget it if you don't fight, and let players sleep in the game map at night with nothing to do?" Isn't that a waste of time? ”

"Maybe this is the time left by the system for the players to solve the 'internal contradictions'......" Liu Ying guessed, and she said meaningfully, "At this time, let's go and provoke the rich second generation, what can and can't be done in this map...... How is it? ”

"Seconded."

"On the top floor."

The three of them put it together, intending to use the simplest method to provoke trouble, and sometimes the simplest is the most effective, isn't it?

"Knock knock." Tang Xin was sent to knock on the door of the rich second generation.

The appearance of the three of them is not much different, but the styles are very different, Tang Xin's appearance is the most deceptive gentle and gentle Jiangnan girl, and the flowing face is paralyzed and comes with a year-round constant temperature refrigerator Needless to say, Su Su is cute and moving, but her mouth is too straight and her smile is too low, and her classic laughter will definitely be broken, so in the end, she can only be Tang Xin.

"You are? Oh...... What's the matter? The rich second generation came to open the door with his bare upper body, leaned against the door frame in a handsome posture, and looked at Tang Xin, obviously recognizing Tang Xin as the person who was with Liu Hotaru before.

"That's right, we've discovered some secrets in the castle, and we'd like to discuss them with you, can you come downstairs to the parlor if you have time?" I'm going to invite another group later. Tang Xin smiled softly, showing that he was innocent and innocent.

In fact, I have begun to roll my eyes in my heart, this bait is really not good, and it is not easy to get the next set.

"Discussion? Make no mistake...... We're in the game right now, so what's there to discuss? Jiang Junfeng scoffed, but his tone was quite gentle.

"You can't say that, the system didn't announce the conditions for qualifying when you entered the map, what if it was to test our cooperation, or maybe those maps in different maps would be able to solve the case the fastest way!" Tang Xin's big eyes flashed with a simple light, she herself felt that she had been with Wen Er for a long time, and her acting skills had improved a lot. (To be continued......)
