Having checked the body, Zhang Yuanqing, Zhai Cai, and Tianxia Guihuo began rummaging through everything, looking for valuable clues.
Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang continued to observe the body, trying to find clues their companions had missed!
Tianxia Guihuo opened the wardrobe, laying out the layers of gorgeous dresses, taking out the silver coins hidden in the wooden boxes and examining them carefully, while Zhai Cai searched, scrutinized, and lightly sniffed the bed!
Hongjige, who wasn't good at delicate work, stood by the bed, watching Sir Knight's ass sticking up as he looked here and there, occasionally sniffing, and curiously asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhai Cai looked up at him: "I'm looking for evidence that you killed the castle owner!"
"What?" Hongjige was stunned!
"Bigfoot likes to rape women. If we can find signs that the castle owner was violated, then we can pinpoint the killer as Monroe, oh no, as Hongjige," Zhai Cai said!
"Why didn't you think of that when you examined the body?" Hongjige thought what he said made sense!
"I am an honest knight. Doing so would be an offense to Yalance, even though she is already a corpse." As he spoke, Zhai Cai picked up a long strand of hair from the pillow. "It seems Yalance was not violated!"
Hongjige didn't understand and asked.
"Why?"
"Because the bed sheets haven't been changed, and there are no signs of violation, and there are no signs of struggle around the body. Our know-it-all Mr. Dong has already analyzed that the deceased was eaten while unconscious!"
Zhai Cai explained tirelessly, appearing to be a teacher.
Usually, people like this like to show off in front of everyone. Hongjige suddenly understood, looking regretful and resentful. "Damn it, so I'm not the killer. This is difficult!"
I didn't say your suspicion has been cleared. You have Bigfoot blood, but you're just a hybrid. Maybe Monroe doesn't like women, just likes to eat women's internal organs!" Zhai Cai said with a smile!
Hongjige felt like he was being scolded but couldn't refute it!
At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing's voice attracted everyone: "Come and see, there's a notebook here."
Hongjige and Zhai Cai by the bed, Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang by the window, and Tianxia Guihuo, who was searching the wardrobe, all put down what they were doing and gathered around the desk.
The desk was very clean, with a bottle of carbon ink, a quill, and several rolls of linen fiber and diluted cotton.
The papers were turned over, originally tied with hemp rope, but now Zhang Yuanqing had untied them!
This era didn't have books yet. The team members rushed behind Zhang Yuanqing to watch. The rudimentary book's pages were covered in rather scribbled letters.
"Dong is a charming man. I found emotional and physical pleasure in him. I wanted to keep him and make him the male owner of the castle, but he became intensely curious about the Lance family's taboo. This curiosity will destroy my family. I had no choice but to banish him!"
Hongjige asked shamelessly, "What does it say?"
Zhai Cai chuckled, "It talks about physical pleasure and emotional comfort!"
Zhao Chenghuang said in a deep voice, "Dong, the role of Gou Mang, is the castle owner's lover!" He translated the contents of the paper for Hongjige.
"So, you're the killer, aren't you? You killed the castle owner in order to obtain the Lance family's taboo!" Hongjige suddenly understood.
However, no one paid attention to him. Zhang Yuanqing put down the paper in his hand and picked up another one to show everyone: "Every night, I hear cat calls from the depths of the castle. She is becoming more and more active. God, what should I do? Our family has lost its magic! God, I pray to you to save our family!"
Zhang Yuanqing said, "Only these two pieces of paper have valuable information. There's no need to look at the others. They are accounts of the castle's expenditures and income."
Zhai Cai stroked his chin and sorted out the plot. Combined with the role information Gou Mang had revealed earlier, hmm... the Lance family's ancestors were proficient in magic and sealed "her" in the depths of the castle. Her family's taboo seal had loosened not long ago. Yalance heard cat calls every night. The cat calls should be a symbol of her resurrection!
The Lance family's magical inheritance had been severed, so Yalance could only ask her old lover, the mage Dong, for help.
Although the mage Dong had once coveted the taboo sealed in the depths of the castle.
"I didn't expect it to be a lover relationship!" Zhang Yuanqing looked at Sun Miaomiao.
Sun Miaomiao: "Get lost!"
Zhao Chenghuang frowned.
"Now that the castle owner has been tragically killed, doesn't that mean that 'she' in the depths of the castle has come out? In that case, the killer who killed the castle owner should be 'her'!"
"If that's the case, then we need to find her name and say it together to clear the level!" Zhang Yuanqing said.
"Then let's follow the plot and find out what's in the depths of the castle! Anyway, everyone's skills and inventory haven't been sealed. Even if we encounter monsters, we have the power to fight!"
"Alas, alas, Guan Ya was eliminated by the plot and turned into a box upon landing. We can only investigate the case ourselves!" His suggestion was approved by his teammates.
The group left the castle owner's room, went down the stone steps back to the first floor, and then found a wooden door wrapped in iron sheet at the end of the corridor on the left. The lock on the iron sheet door had been pried open!
Zhang Yuanqing reached out and gently pushed the iron sheet door. After a "creak," it opened, revealing a dark space. The granite steps extended downwards, and a humid, decaying air rushed into his nostrils!
"I'll use a wraith to scout the way!" Sun Miaomiao said!
After her teammates nodded, she spat out an extraordinary-level spirit servant wearing a dirty cloth dress and sent it floating into the basement!
About ten minutes later, Sun Miaomiao said in a low voice, "There is no danger below. It is indeed a place of sealing."
Hearing this, Hongjige pushed aside the crowd, held a basketball-sized fireball in his palm, and took the lead in entering the basement along the stone steps. The orange light of the burning fireball smeared on the stone walls, flickering like water. The sound of footsteps echoed in the silent basement.
In less than three minutes, they finished walking the stone steps and arrived at the castle's basement. The castle's basement had not been entered for many years. Cobwebs were formed in the corners, and the stone bricks on the ground were covered with irregular mud marks.
