Chapter 720: Clues, Getting Better

The assassination of the Prince of the Blood.

Not only a secret room, but also a beheading unsolved case.

Bai Yu walked on the scene, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and asked, "Have you ever used a spell to restore and reverse the scene?" ”

"I've checked them all, but except for the Prince of the Blood Clan and the six blind dates, there is no trace left at all." Mussel shook his head.

"What is the blind date process like?"

"Everyone enters this room alone, and gets to know the prince and stays with each other for a while." "It came in order," said Mussell. ”

"What is the order?"

"From front to back, it's Lumina (pretty), Rena (17), Rebecca (brunette), Stella (witch), Julia (corpse), Peggy (missing)." Musel remembered these details very well without looking at the notes, and it seemed that she really tried to investigate the case.

"Whether it's a heart piercing or a decapitation, it's necessary to use weapons." Bai Yu asked: "The murder weapon is one of the important evidences. ”

"That's what we're speculating, too." Mussel looked at the corpse: "But I don't understand, why decapitation, isn't this an extra move?" Is there still a necessary reason? But the murderer only took the head, not the blood soul crystal. ”

"This cut in the neck is neat." Bai Yu said: "If it is to be a headshot, the wound will not be so complete, and if the head is destroyed, it will leave some traces, even if it is burned by the flames, there will be ashes left." ”

"What murder weapon?" Mussel asked, confused.

Mussel sighed: "We have been searching for a long time, and we have not found where the head is, maybe it is in the Opal Palace, but there is a large number of complex subspaces here, which is itself a huge labyrinth. ”

"We didn't find any murder weapons or weapons at the scene." The Blood Knight speculated: "Could it be that there is no murder weapon at all?" If the murderer is a mage, the most effective way is to assassinate through magic. ”

"The head was taken away, and naturally it had its purpose...... After a little thought, it is clear that since a heart piercing is a fatal injury, then cutting off the head and taking it away, such an extra move, must be to hide something or cover up something. ”

People who are not from the Belmont family dare to casually break into Castlevania to find excitement.

"There are many tricks that exist for decapitation." Bai Yu paused and said, "But it's still uncertain, hasn't the prince's head been found?" ”

"If it was the murderer's doing, then this head may be the key to revealing her identity."

"The murder weapon." Bai Yu glanced at Musel: "Haven't you thought about it?" ”

"So in this house, there are traces of their breath and traces, and other than that, there is no trace of the eighth person?"

Mussel asked, "So the head was taken...... But is this important? ”

Bai Yu was still circling the room.

"What are you looking for?" "There are no traps or chambers here," said Mussell. ”

Bai Yu touched his chin and continued to ask, "What is the cause of the prince's death?" Beheading? ”

The manpower cost of further searches is too high and dangerous, and no one knows exactly how many traps are hidden in the subspace.

"Yes."

"It's not." Mussel denied: "He had two fatal wounds on his body, the first was a pierced heart, and the second was a decapitation. ”

Bai Yu said firmly: "Obviously, the key breakthrough in this case is on the disappearing skull. ”

"Didn't find it." The knightess said, "Either they were destroyed or they were taken away." ”

"So you actually died from a heart piercing?" Bai Yu thought for a while: "If it's a decapitation, there's no need to make up for a sword." ”

She spread out the palm of her hand, and the flowing red blood gathered into shape, and after a while, it turned into a blood-red crystalline long sword: "As long as the blood magic is proficient to a certain level, it is very easy to create a weapon. ”

After the spell was released, the long sword turned into blood and flowed back into the body, and not a single drop was wasted.

"If you were going to decapitate your enemy, what kind of spell would you tend to use?"

"Me?" Mussell thought for a moment, then clasped his hands together, and raised his left and right hands to stretch them out: "I will tend to use silk threads, refined magic threads can easily cut off the flesh." ”

"That is to say," Bai Yu glanced at her, "In the blood knight's cognition, it is more convenient to use spells than to use swords?" ”

Musel nodded very affirmatively and naturally: "The blood knight said that it was a knight, but we are still mages at nature, but we are more inclined to fight at close range, and we don't use the fighting spirit that human knights are good at." ”

This is common knowledge among the Bloods, who are more inclined to use spells than weapons.

"But it's a pity." Bai Yu looked at the corpse, shook his head, and said, "This time your guess is wrong, there is no doubt that this is using weapons, not spells...... Even though spells can provide windows similar to weapons, some parts of them cannot be imitated. ”

"How?" Mussel didn't understand.

"If the head is cut off by a weapon made of magic, then these weapons will inevitably be stained with blood, and you usually don't waste your own blood, and you will take it back after use, so here's the problem!" Bai Yu raised his index finger: "When you disarm the spell, your own blood and the blood of the corpse will inevitably mix, right?" What happens if you take it back into your body at this time? ”

"That's true!" Musel suddenly said: "If this is the case, the murderer will inevitably ingest the blood of the royal family, which will inevitably not escape the previous blood test." ”

She then asked, "Is it a slash from the air?" Wind Blade or something. ”

"When the corpse is decapitated, the position is less than half a meter away from the wall, to control the strength of the wind blade, it can not only cut off the head but also not leave a mark on the wall, with this level of control, let alone a fourth-order magister." Bai Yu shook his head: "The realm strength of the six blind dates on the scene does not meet this characteristic. ”

Mussell said, "So it must be a cold weapon slash?" ”

"Well, because the incision is smooth, I'm a person who is good at using a sword myself, and I'm familiar with this kind of wound." Bai Yu walked out of the door: "So I concluded that there must be a murder weapon at the scene, but it was also missing, the same as the head." ”

Stand in the doorway and look out at the walls of the corridor in the depths.

This wall is covered with portraits of princes of all ages.

But it's actually a layer of camouflage, and behind it is an entrance to a subspace that leads to the depths.

Bai Yu felt that the answer was there, but its scope was too wide, and if he stepped into it rashly, although it was not life-threatening, he might be trapped for a while.

You can't be too prodigal.

……

Walked down the red carpet and returned to the living room on the first floor.

Jeanne was bored.

Bai Yu returned the notebook to her.

Jeanne glanced at it, and there were a few more lines of clues.

- The prince died from being pierced in the heart, but was beheaded by a sharp weapon, and the sharp weapon and head were gone, and it is suspected that he fell into the subspace of the tower.

- If the staircase leading to the upper floor wasn't closed by Peggy, it would form a secret room.

The saint tilted her head: "It seems that the situation is a lot more complicated?" ”

"Yes, but not exactly." Bai Yu sold a pass: "For me, the situation has become a little clearer. ”

Whatever the reason, since the key physical evidence is hidden, it is likely to be the answer to the truth.

Mussell looked at the bedroom, "How are they?" ”

"Not very calm." Jeanne said.

"Now it's time to go and ask them one by one." Bai Yu said, "Come together, my dear." ”

The saint's body stiffened, touched her arm, seemed to have goosebumps, and rolled her eyes at Bai Yu.

But in Musel's view, it is simply a ridicule between lovers, and the strange little eyes want to refuse and welcome.

The pure love female knight couldn't help but remind: "At this time, don't be busy showing affection, after the solution is resolved, no matter how affectionate you are, I will introduce you to a few dating holy places!" Now concentrate on handling the case. ”

Bai Yu glanced at this girl, thinking to herself, how do you see Bai Yan as coquettish?

……

Enter the first bedroom.

This is the bedroom of Rena, a seventeen-year-old girl, and she doesn't keep any personal belongings in her room, at most a few books to pass the time of boredom.

The young aristocratic girl is not strong in personality, she is more submissive and accustomed to looking at people's faces, her personality is not strong, and she has no clear plans for the future.

It's an ordinary girl, so she really doesn't know much information.

Because of this, it was easy to break her defenses.

Rena also directly revealed a key piece of information.

"A week before Julia was killed...... She was a little nervous and came to sleep with me. ”

"Although she didn't say what she encountered, she always acted scared when she went to bed at night."

"Did you ask her what she was afraid of?"

"She thinks that the prince is very unwilling to die, and the ghost surrounds the opal palace and curses everyone who sees his body."

Rena whispered, "There are indeed some strange movements in this palace from time to time...... I suspect she may have seen something and was frightened by the six gods. ”

Mussel couldn't help but ask, "So what did she see?" Phantom? Revenant? ”

"I don't know." Rena shrunk her neck: "That's all I know. ”

……

The second room is Rebecca's room.

She was a pharmacist, and her room was filled with test tubes, small crucible equipment, and all sorts of potions materials.

"Even if you're locked up here, you're still doing your research?"

"Yes." Rebecca said: "I think it's going to be a long time here...... Actually, this is not bad, although my family is not very supportive of my research in pharmacy, but it gives me a sense of accomplishment. ”

She put down the medicine bottle in her hand: "Back to the point, what do you want to ask when you come to see me?" ”

Bai Yu said bluntly: "You have any clues that are inconvenient to say in front of others, but it doesn't hurt to say it now." ”

Rebecca had already prepared her words and said very smoothly, "I think there is something wrong with Stella." ”

"Oh?"

"She feels weird to me."

"Is it intuition?"

"It's not just intuition, although she behaves very calmly and naturally in the face of all kinds of questions, she doesn't seem to want to leave the Opal Temple." Rebecca looked at the alcohol lamp and said, "She had the opportunity to leave, but chose to stay...... Maybe she's not the murderer, but it's certainly doubtful. ”

Jeanne jotted down the clues.

Musel asked, "Have you heard anything about Julia's death?" Like about the ghosts in the Opal Palace or something? ”

Rebecca thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "I usually study a lot of potions, and I have never paid attention to these. ”
