Chapter 719 It's been a long time since I've written a reasoning, so it's cool to write some puzzles

While the scream rang out, Bai Yu looked at the second floor.

He was about to make a move, but the first thing he looked at Jeanne was, and he was about to say something.

Jeanne ran her fingers around her hair and nodded, her eyes met, and a tacit understanding was born.

She stayed on the first floor and watched the two.

Bai Yu and Mussel went up to the second floor at the same time.

On the second floor is a circular hall with a total of nine rooms.

One of the bedrooms has been opened.

The black-haired girl sat down on the ground and pointed to the bedroom, her hands trembling.

"But it doesn't hurt to say that we're discussing the case." Bai Yu said: "For me as an outsider, there is nothing to be ashamed of. ”

"What's the catch?"

"Then doesn't it mean that she was sucked blood......" Bai Yu thought of a crime.

"Excessive blood loss, blood is the soul and life to the blood clan, and bloodshed is more deadly to us than humans."

"I don't know what the difference between the blood clan and humans will be after death," Bai Yu got up and said, "If you regain your composure, then the scene will be handed over to you, this should be your specialty." ”

Bai Yu is already checking.

When Bai Yu sent the black-haired Blood Clan girl to the first floor and turned back, he just saw Musel put his bloodstained fingers into his mouth.

She was about to rush forward with a burst of magic power, but Bai Yu held her shoulders and pressed her in place, and she couldn't break free with all her might.

At the same time as seeing this scene, Muselle's pupils shook.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Divine Friendship? ”

Mussell shook his head: "As I said, this is the Opal Palace, there are windows, and they are only used to bring in light, in fact, this window cannot lead to the outside world at all. ”

"Yes." "But rarely, bloodsucking of the same race usually means ......"

"You let go!"

Bai Yu looked into the room, only to see that the light in this bedroom was dim, and on the bed lay a fair-skinned young woman, she was wearing pajamas, her body was lying on the bed motionless, and a large patch of bright red blood flowed from her neck, staining half of the bed.

"So, it's still a completely enclosed venue?"

It's just certainly not that easy.

Musel took a deep breath continuously: "Good! ”

Mussell gritted his teeth, and after a moment, took a deep breath, withdrew the mana back into his body, and then raised his hand, and a pitch-black bat floated out from under his coat.

The bat flew out the door, and she returned to her room.

"Go ahead and ask."

"It's dead." Bai Yu said.

Mussel pointed to his neck, where the wound was in the carotid artery of the neck, and there were two bloody holes left by the fangs.

Family Call.

"Implies the act of mating." Musel let out a sigh: "After all, there is a soul in the blood, and sucking the blood of the same clan means that the soul is blended, and only the best loved ones will do this." ”

She was a little embarrassed to say this.

This is supposed to be a racial talent that reads the memories of the dead through blood.

"What about the cause of death?"

"She didn't read it in her memory." Mussel shook his head and said, "The only thing that is certain is that the time of death is within twelve hours. ”

"Do you know the dead?"

Mussel didn't speak.

"Yes." Musel clenched his fists: "So you know why I'm angry?" ”

"Yes."

"Don't spoil the scene, stay calm." Bai Yu said lightly: "You should go and inform the people of the Knights now." ”

Bai Yu didn't ask in detail, but walked to the window: "There is a blood-sucking behavior, so there is a high probability that it is a crime committed by the blood clan, and there are also windows here, is it possible that someone attacked him from the outside?" ”

"Hmm." Mussel turned his face unnaturally.

"Looks like you've been bitten by the Bloodline." Bai Yu asked, "Is there also bloodsucking between the blood clans?" ”

"I think so." Bai Yu looked around: "There were no traces of fights and fights at the scene, she was obviously killed when she lost the ability to resist...... How strong is she? ”

"Then the suspects are the remaining four."

"Equivalent to a mid-second-order blood knight."

She put on a pair of gloves and began to examine the body.

"She's my junior." Mussell gritted his teeth, baring his sharp fangs.

Mussell's expression was full of incomprehension: "The prince has already been killed, why has a new victim appeared after a month has passed?" ”

……

Back in the hall on the first floor, the four maidens of the Blood Clan had already gathered.

Jeanne sat on the sidelines, letting the men play freely.

There was some mess at the scene.

Apparently it was the dead who caused them to be restless, and each of them appeared in different states, some became shrunken birds, some were aggressive in response to stress, and some were silent but vigilant.

Here is a brief introduction to the situation of several noble girls of the blood clan.

Rena, a red-haired girl, the youngest daughter of the Carlomon family, is seventeen years old, a student, and is characterized by her youth;

Rebecca Loew, a dark-haired girl, a girl who had just gone up to find the body, twenty-one years old, the second daughter of the Loew, an apothecary apprentice, characterized by black hair;

Stella Trevino, twenty-eight years old, a genius of the Trevino family, at this age, but already a third-order blood mage, characterized by a shrine maiden suit;

Lumina LegisamΓ³n, twenty-six years old, the only blonde girl on the scene, has a very ordinary family background, but her beauty is famous in Romania, and she is characterized by her beauty.

And the dead girl was named Julia, twenty-seven years old, Muselle's schoolgirl and distant relative, who had originally planned to intern with the Knights, and was characterized by corpses.

In addition to these five, there is also Peggy, which doesn't need much explanation.

Then came the Q&A session.

Rena, a young red-haired girl, wiped her tears and said, "I don't know what's going on, can I go home?" I'm scared. ”

Rebecca, who was the first to find the body, replied: "I don't know what happened, but when I went up to call her, I tried to knock on the door, but there was no response, and then I tried to open the door, and then I found that Julia was ......"

Bai Yu asked, "Her room is not locked?" ”

"Yes." Rebecca nodded.

Stella sat silently on the side, as the eldest, she also looked very calm, dressed like a witch, black robe and big hat, and also held a magic book in her hand, and said in a flat tone: "I was reading in my room all night yesterday...... Including Fang Cai, he came down after hearing the movement. ”

The last Lumina, she was one of the people left in the living room, and she was completely comparable to Jeanne in terms of appearance alone.

"Although we live here, we don't communicate much, we occasionally chat in the living room, and in the evening, we go back to our rooms to rest, and once we close the door, we don't know what's going on outside," she whispered. ”

Mussell clasped his hands and suppressed his emotions and asked, "So you don't have a clue at all?" I would like to remind you that Julia's death was not an accident, but a murder, which means that there must have been a murderer between the four of them. ”

When this sentence was spoken, the atmosphere immediately changed.

The four girls raised their eyes, looked at each other, or bowed their heads in silence.

Stella the witch snapped her book and closed the book: "In my opinion, not necessarily...... Isn't there another missing person who has not been found yet? ”

"You mean, Peggy Frankimir?"

"Yes, if she didn't disappear, but hid here, with her strength, it shouldn't be difficult to sneak into the room quietly and kill someone." Stella said lightly: "Or, can you be sure that the murderer must not be her?" ”

Musel didn't speak, in fact, she also had this suspicion, and immediately looked in the direction of Bai Yu.

The Great Xia people spoke: "It is certainly time-saving and labor-saving to put the responsibility on a transparent person, but it is inevitable that it will not make sense. ”

"Where doesn't it make sense?"

"She's hiding, why is she killing again, isn't this deliberately exposing her existence? Isn't it redundant for a person to deliberately create a missing person, but also to commit a murder at the same time? ”

Stella narrowed her eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Maybe she is trying to create chaos and create a chance for herself to escape?" ”

"Do you think you got out?" Bai Yu asked rhetorically.

Stella was stunned, then fell silent.

No matter how she answered this question, she didn't want to admit that she was weaker than Peggy, and on the other hand, she couldn't insist that she could leave.

Bai Yu continued: "Miss Julia was killed, most likely the same person who killed the Prince, and she was killed because of something. ”

"And this incident may be an opportunity to reveal the identity of the murderer."

"Otherwise, there is no reason why a month has passed for so long for the murderer to continue to do ......"

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the murderer has lost patience and wants to do something to achieve additional goals."

…… For example, finding Peggy.

"But this is relatively unlikely, after all, the blood clan has always been very patient, and you should all be ready to wait here for three years."

Bai Yu continued: "In this month, if you are locked up here and there is no communication, I think it is impossible. ”

"If anyone has a clue, they can just say it, anything, as long as it has something to do with Julia."

"I can guarantee your safety...... Vouch for the reputation of a royal knight. ”

He unleashed a portion of the realm of coercion.

Several people at the scene looked at each other in surprise, probably amazed that Bai Yu had already reached the fourth order at such a young age.

However, no one answered.

"Please go back to your room." Bai Yu said, "Soon the people of the Blood Knights will come. ”

Several aristocratic girls got up and went back to their rooms.

One of the seventeen-year-old girls, Rena, quietly glanced at Bai Yu, as if she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say anything, and returned to the room.

Musel sighed: "They are very vigilant, and everyone is worried that they will be charged, so the investigation will not go smoothly." ”

"What's not going well?"

Bai Yu smiled: "Isn't this quite smooth?" ”

His goal has been reached.

What I just said has broken the balance in the hearts of these people.

Distrust began to spread.

Then they worry about whether they will be victims.

Once the prisoner's dilemma arises, everyone will want to buy a glimmer of life for themselves.

Bai Yu asked them to go back to their rooms, on the one hand, to avoid collusion with accomplices, and on the other hand, to create psychological pressure, so that everyone could sort out the situation separately, and when they came to inquire, it was also convenient to reveal relevant information separately.

This is the most time-saving and labor-saving.

In short, dry them for a while, don't be too active, don't be too enthusiastic.

Anyway, the initiative is in their own hands.

……

When the Knights arrived, the scene was handed over to them for processing and reconnaissance.

"Next......" Bai Yu raised his mind: "It's time to take a look at the prince, where was he assassinated?" ”

"Follow me." Mussel leads the way.

In front of a stone statue, the blood soul of the royal family in his hand was revealed.

The stone statue looked like a knight killing himself, slitting his throat and dripping red blood, which overflowed on the ground and down the steps into a bright red carpet.

This opened a path to the upper floors of the Opal Palace.

"How long will this path last?" Bai Yu stepped on the suspended red carpet staircase, this thing is not only a staircase, but also an ancient spell that expands the space.

"It can be maintained forever."

"It was also turned on when the prince was killed?"

"No, it's closed."

"Then how did you know that the prince had been killed without opening the passage?"

"I mentioned earlier that Opal Palace is a dungeon in itself, right?" "On the night the prince was killed, the Opal Palace underwent a transformation, its appearance changed to that of a tower, and the gargoyle guards were activated. ”

"You guys must have something wrong based on the change in the shape of the Opal Palace?"

"Yes, after the mutation appeared, within ten minutes, an elder on duty took the blood soul crystals of the royal family to quell the riot."

Mussel continued: "All five blind dates were downstairs, but Peggy Frankimir was one of them. ”

She looked up and said, "So the Knights speculate that she assassinated the prince and then entered the subspace where the dungeon is located. ”

Bai Yu frowned: "Is this too arbitrary?" ”

"It's not arbitrary, just like the problem you just noticed, this 'staircase' is the key to separating the upper and lower floors, only the blood soul crystals of the royal family or the royal family can open it, and the blood soul crystals that fell after the death of the prince are on his corpse, and the 'staircase' is closed."

"You know what that means," Mussel said. ”

"This, another secret room?" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows.

To put it simply, you can think of the Blood Soul Crystal as the key, and the staircase as the door.

When the prince dies, he drops the key, and the key is required to open and close the door.

The problem now is that the body is in the door, the key is inside, and the door is locked.

Then the five people downstairs are almost not suspicious, only Peggy, who remains upstairs and is missing, is suspicious, and only she can do it.

But Bai Yu knew very well that it was impossible for Peggy to assassinate the prince.

So, it's still a secret room.

Or, think it another way.

What if the murderer kills someone and is bumped into by Peggy, and then Peggy takes the initiative to close the stairs to prevent the other party from coming up?

No, there should be no such possibility.

If this was the case, there would be no need for Peggy to escape, let alone leave the Blood Soul Crystal next to the corpse.

"emmm......" Bai Yu thought, and at this time he had already walked through the corridor and arrived at the upper floor.

The private residence of the Prince of the Bloodline.

Push the door to enter, hundreds of square meters of luxurious one-bedroom.

A month has passed, and it has not been cleaned up, and the corpse has been preserved, but there is no tendency to decay, it should be that the veteran blood clan has preserved all traces with spells.

Bai Yu looked at the Prince of the Blood Clan, and he couldn't hold back at first glance.

Subconsciously remembered an old oriental nursery rhyme.

- Brother Ni's head, like a leather ball; A kick to the department store.

Bai Yu asked, "What about the head?" ”

The female knight's eyes dodged: "I want to ...... Maybe it's because he died too miserably, so he doesn't have a face to see people. ”
