After discovering An Junhang's body, the five people didn't have the heart to continue to search the castle, and they all went downstairs and returned to the hall with a heavy heart.

【Side Quest】Find the real culprit

Bonus points: 200 points

"Find out the real culprit!" Mu Lan frowned, this should refer to finding out the murderer who killed An Junhang, this side quest is really not the right time to appear, today I checked the ancient castle and found that no one else existed, so the real murderer is likely to be among these people, and the six people who survived at that time will fall into the chain of suspicion that is constantly testing each other.

Xiao De and An Junhang have died out, and everyone among the remaining six people is suspicious, even Xu Min, who has been following Lu Tianming closely, immediately stayed away from him for a long distance after hearing the task prompt, several people did not make a sound, the atmosphere was depressing, and everyone was thinking in their hearts.

"Definitely not me!" Xu Min couldn't hold his breath first, "I have been following Lu Tianming just now, and I have no chance to kill people at all!" Then he looked at Lu Tianming.

Lu Tianming nodded, testified to Xu Min and also cleared himself of suspicion: "The two of us have been checking on the fourth floor, basically every room is acting together, and we can all testify to each other." ”

Mu Lan also immediately said: "Ah Feng and I checked on the third floor, and basically we have never been separated. She then told the story of the discovery of the body of the butler Leon and the Count's attempt to kill seven people to complete the resurrection ritual.

"Kill seven people? And the number of people on our mission is exactly seven, which is right, and the extra person is most likely the Count himself. Lu Tianming analyzed for a while, and then said: "He is hidden among several of us, as long as he is found, the biggest threat to this ancient castle will be eliminated, and we can survive until the end of the mission." ”

Lu Tianming looked at Zhao Mengqi and said, "We all have alibi, before An Junhang was killed, you were the only one by his side, and it seems that you are the most suspicious." ”

Zhao Mengqi was shocked when she heard this, she waved her hand in a panic, "It's not me, it's not me!" Seeing a few people looking at her with suspicious looks, as if they were forced into a desperate way to stimulate their brains, in order to prove themselves, they suddenly became clear: "I am a student of the same school as him, we met in the extracurricular study room, we are very familiar with each other, I don't need to kill him, and I am so weak, I can't beat him at all, please believe me, I am not a murderer!" ”

Zhao Mengqi said a lot of words to prove herself, the core point is that he and An Junhang know each other in reality, and the performance of the two after entering the reincarnation world also supports this statement, Mu Lan's thinking has entered a dead end, this matter is full of doubts, and she is a little unsure that the earl is hidden among the eight people, how can a noble duke from another world do not expose himself and disguise himself in the team?

For a while, he was not sure who was more suspicious, Lu Tianming turned his head around, and said: "It seems that the matter of finding out the murderer still needs to be slowly observed, in fact, there is another thing that is also very important." After speaking, he looked at Zhao Mengqi again.

"We have not found food or water, and if we do not drink water for three days, our bodies will quickly fail, and even if we do not die of thirst and starvation, we will not have the strength to deal with the Earl."

Mu Lan noticed that Zhao Mengqi's head began to sweat and her body tensed, and she remembered that after Lu Tianming also mentioned food and water last night, the schoolgirl clenched the schoolbag in her hand.

"Give me your bag!" Lu Tianming said and walked over, "You have been guarding the bag, what is in it?" When I mention food, you get nervous! ”

The pressure of the adult man made Zhao Mengqi unable to resist, and she froze in place, watching Lu Tianming snatch her bag.

Lu Tianming opened his schoolbag and rummaged through it, taking out half a bottle of mineral water and half-eaten bread.

It turned out that Zhao Mengqi had been nervous about food and water, under such conditions, half a bottle of water and bread was the hope for the six people to survive, Xu Min looked at the bottle of water, his throat rumbled, and he looked very thirsty.

"You're hiding your food!" Xu Min accused Zhao Mengqi, and she said angrily: "We still protect you all the way, why don't you take it out and share it with us!" ”

Zhao Mengqi lowered her head and didn't speak, Mu Lan could understand her thoughts, if it was her, she would keep more hope for life, people should indeed live a selfish life.

Xu Min wanted to get the water in Lu Tianming's hand, but he was dodged and caught empty, Xu Min was puzzled: "I'm a little thirsty, I haven't drunk water for a day." ”

Lu Tianming smiled: "This is the only food and water we have left, just such a small amount, we have to distribute it well." ”

"Why?" Xu Min said angrily: "Why should I listen to you? Who you think you are! ”

"What do you say?" Lu Tianming sneered, he pushed his glasses, and said with some mockery: "Just because you may be one of the murderers, why should I give you water to drink?" Even if you weren't a murderer, you didn't do anything to help, those who can work harder, work harder, I deserve it, in order to keep us united against the Count, I don't mind giving some water to valuable people, but not now. ”

Xu Min saw that he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't beat him in terms of strength, so he muttered a few times angrily and didn't move, but his eyes stared at the water in Lu Tianming's hand from time to time, showing greed, indicating that the covetous mind was not extinguished.

Seeing the leftover half of the bread, Mu Lan also felt a little hungry, she had not eaten for almost a whole day, she was also very hungry, I don't know what Lu Tianming's distribution method was, but she believed that Lu Tianming was a smart person, and there was a delicate balance between these people, he needed to beware of the earl's move, and he also had to keep others physical in order to contain the earl, so it was obviously not a good way to swallow it alone, of course, the premise of everything was that Lu Tianming was not the earl himself.

And in the face of several other people, Lu Tianming wants to swallow water and food alone, unless he runs away and hides directly, otherwise he will inevitably fall into a situation of group encirclement, there are also Ah Feng who is skilled and Wang Qiang who is injured unknown, and not counting them, even under the siege of three women, he will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

"Well, everyone has a share of the water and bread, and I will do what I say, and now is not the time to eat, drink, and rest." Lu Tianming said, he put the things back in his schoolbag, carried them on his back, and said: "Back to the first question, who is the murderer?" ”

"The murderer is him!"

The five of them turned around and looked, only to see Wang Qiang limping over slowly, he pointed at Ah Feng and glared angrily: "The murderer must be him!" When I was chased by a monster yesterday, it was he who led the monster in my direction and ran away on his own, he wanted to kill me! ”

Mu Lan saw a momentary change in Ah Feng's eyes, he turned cold in the face of Wang Qiang's accusation, and said with a gloomy gaze: "I admit that I used you to get out of trouble yesterday, but that's just a person who doesn't want to die." ”

"Look! He confessed! Wang Qiang roared, his eyes brightened as if he had found the truth, "Your skills are not ordinary at all, and it is easy to kill people!" You bastard caught us in the castle and tried to kill us one by one! ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Qiang actually took out a sharp metal object from behind him and stabbed Ah Feng in the throat.

This change made Mu Lan stunned for a moment, and then immediately avoided it, away from the battle between the two.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qiang's blow actually pierced the air, Ah Feng flashed to the left, avoiding the fatal attack, his body and Wang Qiang staggered, and his right hand slashed backwards, Wang Qiang stumbled and almost didn't stand firm and fell.

"!" Wang Qiang scolded in his mouth, and turned back to Ah Feng with the weapon in his hand, the metal slender stick was unloaded from the home, one end was sharp and sharp, if it pierced into the human body, it would definitely not live long, Wang Qiang's eyes were blood-red, and he was enraged after several attacks were dodged by Ah Feng, he chased Ah Feng, every attack was very fatal, and for a while he couldn't see Wang Qiang's injured state.

"Help!" Lu Tianming suddenly said to the three ladies, "One less person is less threatening, not to mention that Ah Feng is really suspicious!" ”

didn't think that this team would be torn apart in less than a day, Mu Lan understood Lu Tianming's meaning a little, kill the person he thought was a threat, until he was left alone, then he would be invincible.

However, the three women did not move, Lu Tianming was very insidious, and it was inevitable that he would not turn his head to deal with them when he got rid of Ah Feng, and Mu Lan thought that although Ah Feng was suspicious, he was with him when An Junhang was killed, and there was alibi evidence, and the suspicion was not so big.

Wang Qiang's wound was bleeding, and it definitely hadn't healed in such a short time, and his whole body's physical strength was rapidly losing after a toss.

Ah Feng also intended to consume him, seeing that Lu Tianming was leaning over, knowing that one pair of two was unwise, and wanted to fight quickly, he kicked his leg while dodging when Wang Qiang attacked again, the wound was torn and painful to make Wang Qiang scream, Ah Feng took away the weapon in his hand and stabbed Wang Qiang in the throat with his backhand.

Seeing that Ah Feng quickly killed Wang Qiang, Lu Tianming was a little embarrassed, he wanted to work together to solve Ah Feng first, but he didn't expect him to kill so neatly.

Ah Feng glanced at Lu Tianming coldly, then looked at the other three women, and ran away without looking back, Lu Tianming didn't dare to chase, only to see Ah Feng hiding in the area behind the hall, there are all servants' rooms over there, and there are many rooms with complex structures, and it will be difficult to find him for a while.

Blood continued to gush out of Wang Qiang's neck, his mouth was wide open, and he should have wanted to breathe hard before he died, but a lot of blood came out of his mouth, and his death was extremely miserable.

The third person has died, Mu Lan thought hard in combination with the known clues, she observed everyone's faces, Xu Min was stunned, her face was pale, Zhao Mengqi was hiding behind a pile of furniture, trembling, Lu Tianming stood next to Wang Qiang's corpse, his face was obscure, and Ah Feng in the dark didn't know where to hide.

Who could be the murderer?
