Chapter 97 The Second Deduction
Zhang Yuanqing's anger stalled. He didn't question the truthfulness of Zhao Chenghuang's information, because the other party's role was a werewolf, the natural enemy of vampires.
The werewolf's skill seemed to be related to smell, distinguishing David's vampire identity from the scent of the pottery pot.
"David is a vampire." Zhang Yuanqing immediately thought of the parchment recording the history of the Lance family. "The Lance family is a family of witches, and witches are extremely Yin constitution. Their blood must be a material rich in spirituality. Also creatures of the night, David's lurking in the Lance family is also for the witch underground."
Zhao Chenghuang suddenly understood, excitedly saying, "Every clue in the room is useful. David coveted the witch beneath the castle. He lurks in the castle, secretly destroying the seal, so Yalan Lance heard cat meows at night, because the witch is gradually reviving."
The threads of the matter gradually became clear.
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at him, "But David doesn't seem to be the murderer!"
Zhao Chenghuang seemed to have a bucket of cold water poured on him, hesitating to speak. Zhang Yuanqing's face glowed white, and his treacherous face became more gloomy: "Yalan Lance was indeed poisoned. Dong Fashi's suspicion has weakened, but if the murderer is not David, it must be Dong Fashi."
But using Dong Fashi as the murderer to deduce the case, many details cannot be explained. Dong Fashi and David are different roles. David's poison cannot fall into Dong Fashi's hands. If, as he just said, Dong Fashi stole David's poison, then it can only be said that the castle mystery is playing with them, and it is not a serious reasoning and solving case at all.
If Dong Fashi can steal poison, then other roles can also steal. The possibilities are simply impossible to deduce.
This kind of "instance" won't be so childish. The poison was found in David's room, so the act of poisoning Yalan Lance must be related to David.
In fact, confirming that Yalan Lance died from poison eliminates Dong Fashi's suspicion, but the result of the Ouija board is very obvious. If it's not David, it must be Dong Fashi, unless someone has other meanings.
But in the currently collected information, there are no "c" and "i" clues to support his reasoning. It should be names, that's for sure.
All kinds of situations plunged Zhang Yuanqing's reasoning into a dead end.
A few seconds later, he looked at Zhao Chenghuang and hooked the corner of his mouth: "There are still three minutes before the night comes. Go to Dong Fashi's room. If he stole the pottery pot, there should be residual clues in the room." Zhao Chenghuang's eyes brightened, and he quickly left David's room.
As the two passed through the corridor, Zhao Chenghuang suddenly stopped and sniffed, "There's a strange smell."
He followed the scent and looked at the human-shaped outline on the corridor, the approximate outline left after Sun Miaomiao's death. The two stopped and looked back.
"Miaomiao has a candle smell on her body," Zhao Chenghuang said, withdrawing his gaze, and said, "Time is running out, let's go to your room."
The two came to Dong Fashi's room. Zhao Chenghuang slowly moved along the wall, twitching his nose, carefully smelling the entire room, and shook his head, "There is no smell of poison."
The walls of the castle are thick granite, and the doors and windows are tightly closed. If Dong Fashi stole poison, a werewolf's sense of smell could detect it.
Zhang Yuanqing nodded.
"Now it can be determined that there is no intersection between unrelated roles. David's poison will not appear in Dong Fashi's room. Among the six roles, Dong Fashi and Yalan Lance are on one plot line, Daniel and Lenn are on one plot line, Lenn and David are on one plot line, and David and Cindy Lance are on one line."
"The poison is in David's room. If David is not the murderer, then the most likely murderer is a role that intersects with him. Lenn can be ruled out, so who are the most suspicious people?"
Zhao Chenghuang suddenly widened his eyes, "Miaomiao? No, Cindy Lance? Why would she kill her own mother?"
"The love letter is the reason. She fell in love with the vampire David, but her mother, Yalan Lance, wanted to marry her to a local nobleman."
Zhang Yuanqing sneered, "So she became malicious and poisoned her mother to death. What an insidious scheme."
He didn't really want to sneer, but his white face came with its own sarcasm and cynicism.
"But she didn't need to poison her mother. Wouldn't it be better to elope with David?" Zhao Chenghuang shook his head.
What if David instigated her? Don't forget David's identity and the reason he lurked in the castle.
Zhang Yuanqing said, "I even suspect that the method to break the witch's seal was also deceived from Cindy Lance by David. He coaxed his daughter to poison her mother, plotting her family's seal. A good trick, I really like it!"
Zhao Chenghuang was silent for a few seconds, then said with a serious expression:
"These are all speculations, without any evidence to support them."
"There are six people in total. Not David, not Dong Fashi, so there's only Cindy Lance left."
Zhang Yuanqing said, "There's not much time left. We can make a public vote. It's less than a minute before night falls."
Zhao Chenghuang said in a deep voice, "Ju Mang, when you publicly voted for David, you were so confident. We've already missed once. If we miss again, Guan Ya will die, Miaomiao will die, and Hong Ji Ge and Tianxia Guihuo will also die."
"I need evidence to prove that Cindy Lance is the murderer."
It wasn't that he didn't support Yuanshi, but this was related to his partner's life and death. There was no room for error.
Even if Yuanshi Tianzun's analysis made sense, without evidence, Zhao Chenghuang didn't dare to gamble with Sun Miaomiao and others' lives. The more he cared, the more cautious he was.
Zhang Yuanqing's face was gloomy: "Sun Miaomiao is already dead. Cindy Lance's room will never be opened. This is the situation now. We can only gamble."
The two heard sharp and shrill cat meows in their ears.
Night falls!
Before the night enveloped everyone, Zhao Chenghuang whispered: "There's still half an hour. Don't rush to make a public vote. If I die, I hope you'll review it again. If you die, so will I."
His voice stopped abruptly.
A moment later, the night subsided, and dawn arrived. Zhao Chenghuang stood stiffly on the ground, turned into a corpse. Only Zhang Yuanqing was left in the reasoning team.
At this time, Zhang Yuanqing had already returned to his original appearance. The night sealed the white face, along with his selfish, gloomy, and cunning personality.
He subconsciously raised his hand to press his forehead, thought about it, and put it down again.
If he activated the white face, he would definitely publicly vote for Cindy Lance without hesitation. Zhao Chenghuang's dying words made Zhang Yuanqing choose to give up on the white face.
"Then let's review it once more." He closed his eyes, visualized his biological father's appearance, over and over again, causing his brainpower to gradually boil and trigger his old illness.
Soon, chaotic images and meaningless noises filled his mind. Unlike before, Zhang Yuanqing could easily bear the burden of his boiling brainpower. After waiting quietly for a few seconds, the noise disappeared, and the images became orderly. Starting from when they entered the Inverted Castle Mystery, all the images replayed frame by frame, clearly and slowly.
Day 1: Enter the castle, find Ya Lance's room, investigate the death scene, find the castle's basement, discover the witch's seal.
Return to the castle, open Dong Fashi's room door.
That night, Hong Ji Ge died.
Day 2: Open the demon hunter Daniel's room, discover the werewolf's information, then he used points to exchange for the Ouija skill.
When the Ouija revelation scene replayed, as the images flashed frame by frame, Zhang Yuanqing saw it more clearly. He suddenly froze.
At this moment, he saw incredibly clearly that the ice pen wrote not "d", but the letters "c" and "i" on the table. It was just that at the time, the ice pen was melting. The moment it finished writing, the melting water made the two closely adjacent letters blend together, turning into a "d".
That night, Sun Miaomiao died, leaving only a charred human-shaped outline at the scene.
Day 3: Open David's room. That night, Tianxia Guihuo died. The accusation failed, and Zhai Cai died.
The memory quickly ended. After re-"reviewing" the entire process, Zhang Yuanqing listed three abnormal phenomena.
The Ouija result was "c" and "i".
Tianxia Guihuo had no skills!
Sun Miaomiao did not leave a corpse after her death, but a charred human-shaped outline.
"What do c and i mean?" Zhang Yuanqing frowned. "Could it not be a name? But my Ouija request was to kill Yalan Lance's murderer. The result must directly point to the murderer. Besides the name, what else directly points to the murderer?"
