Chapter 36: The Skeleton on the Tower

Yes! For Yingzi, the tragic situation in front of her is too cruel.

The top of the tower had collapsed, and the messy stones and bricks were like hills, and two corpses lay across it, nay, not so much corpses, but two skeletons, even whiter in the moonlight. On the corpse's head, there was no flesh on its face, and its eyes were replaced by two large, deep holes, and it was facing the two of them, and its teeth were clenched, as if there was a great grievance. His teeth and bones were snow-white, all exposed, as if he was mocking the world.

Yingzi fainted, and Lang Xiaobai immediately picked her up, walked down the stairs, and laid her flat on the dusty bench. The eerie bell still ticked.

"Thanks, I'm fine.

Yingzi smiled skillfully, although her face was still a little pale, but still as cute and beautiful as a wild rose. Her big black eyes were warm and affectionate and full of trust, staring intently at Lang Xiaobai's face.

"Feeling better? Can you still ride a horse?"

"Alright, out of the way."

"Alright, let's go! It would be a mistake to not be able to reach the manor before dawn. ”

The two jumped onto the horses tied to the door. On the way, they also rode to the tower where the body was located to observe the situation.

"It's pretty much clear. Yes, it must have been a murder, and that villain did it. ”

Lang Xiaobai kept nodding.

When the two of them returned to Conkinson's Yuyuan, it was already the early morning of the 6th. The servants were still asleep from the feast they had eaten last night, and the door was wide open, so Eiko went straight back to her room, and no one noticed her.

Yingzi told Lang Xiaobai that He Song did not come back.

"What? I had already seen through the villain's true face, and he seemed to know that I had broken the tire, so he was so frightened that he ran away. Better yet, scaring away one can reduce a lot of trouble. Lang Xiaobai laughed: "Compared with that villain, I care more about the corpse on that tower." In addition, I also want to understand the mystery of the big bell in the ancient village. Or maybe Conkinson knows some of the details, and let's go ask him how it is?"

Probably because the hunt of the day before and the banquet in the evening were too tired, the elder Conkinson was still in his long nightgowns, and stayed in his study, drinking wine and smoking cigars in a chaotic manner, his eyes bloodshot and sluggish.

"Ha, Lang Xiaobai, good morning! You didn't seem to have attended the banquet the night before......"

"The view at night was so beautiful, so we rode out into the distance." Is it? So where did you go?"

"I went to Dafu Ancient Village."

"Oh, the young man would love to go there. However, it was closed twenty years ago. You didn't get inside, did you?"

"No, we went inside, and we found that there were murders there."

Old Conkinson's two thick white eyebrows moved suddenly.

"On the tower, about four or five hundred meters away from the ancient village, there are two corpses that have become skeletons, and they have been shot and killed from the ancient village. The murderer used to live in an ancient village. ”

"How...... How so?...... What credentials do you have?"

"Reasoning, according to my reasoning."

Old Conkinson's face had been flushed, from the sun during the hunt and the drink he had drunk profusely, when his stone-hard face turned pale.

"Master Kang, who lived in that ancient castle twenty years ago?"

"My cousin lives there."

"May I ask his name?"

"His name is Kang...... Kang Jinyu"

"In this way, the murderer is Kang Jinyu."

"In that case,...... It's so hateful that the murderer is my cousin? It can't be, he killed someone, no, no, absolutely impossible, I don't believe it, he wouldn't do that kind of thing. Or, even if he did do such a thing, he must have been reckless or accidentally injured because of his misfortune. ”

"But Master Kang, that's not the case. This murder case was carefully planned, repeatedly scrutinized, and tested, and then put into action to systematically murder the man and woman. The whole murder plan was perfectly planned, without a single loophole, and the methods were vicious, like a murderous demon. ”

"The murderer's criminal plan was so flawless that no one has discovered the truth of the facts for twenty years until today. And these two bodies, if I hadn't seen them through my binoculars, I am afraid that they would not have been found for another twenty, thirty, or even never. Then no one will ever know about the crime committed by Kang Jinyu. ”

"But...... But what proof do you have that the murderer is my cousin?"
