Chapter 1 Searching for Clues

Having already examined the corpse, Zhang Yuanqing, Zhai Cai, and Tianxia Guihuo began rummaging through the room, searching for valuable clues.

Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang continued to observe the body, trying to find clues that their companions had missed!

Tianxia Guihuo opened the wardrobe, taking out one ornate dress after another, and retrieved the silver coins hidden in a wooden box, examining them carefully. Zhai Cai searched, scrutinized, and sniffed the bed!

Hong Ji-ge, who wasn't good at delicate work, stood by the bed, watching the single-pass knight sticking his butt in the air, looking and sniffing here and there. He curiously asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhai Cai looked up at him and said, "I'm looking for evidence that you killed the old castle master!"

"What?" Hong Ji-ge was stunned!

"Bigfoot likes to rape women. If we can find signs that the castle master was violated, then we can lock the murderer as Monroe, oh no, Hong Ji-ge," Zhai Cai said!

"Why didn't you think of that when you examined the body?" Hong Ji-ge thought what he said made sense!

"I am an upright knight. That would be too offensive to Yalansi, even though she is already a corpse." As he spoke, Zhai Cai picked up a long strand of hair from the pillow. "It seems that Yalansi was not violated!"

Hong Ji-ge asked, not understanding.

"Why?"

"Because the bed was not changed, there are no signs of violation, and there are no traces of struggle around the body. Our Mr. Know-It-All has already analyzed that the deceased was eaten while unconscious!"

Zhai Cai explained tirelessly, looking like he enjoyed teaching others!

People like this usually like to show off in front of everyone. Hong Ji-ge suddenly understood, with a face full of regret, and said hatefully, "Damn, so I'm not the murderer. This is difficult!"

"I didn't say that your suspicion has been cleared. You have Bigfoot blood, but you are just a mongrel. Maybe Monroe doesn't like women and only likes to dig out women's internal organs to eat!" Zhai Cai said with a grin!

Hong Ji-ge felt that he was scolding him, but he couldn't refute it!

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing's voice attracted everyone's attention: "Come and see, there is a note here."

Hong Ji-ge and Zhai Cai by the bed, Sun Miaomiao and Zhao Chenghuang by the window, and Tianxia Guihuo, who was rummaging through the wardrobe, all put down what they were doing and rushed to the desk.

The desk was very clean, with a bottle of carbon ink, a quill pen, and several rolls of linen fiber and diluted cotton.

The paper had been tied with hemp rope, but Zhang Yuanqing had already untied it!

There were no books in this era. The team members rushed to Zhang Yuanqing's side to watch him. The letters written on the crude book paper were quite scribbled.

"Dong is a charming man. I found emotional and physical pleasure in him. I wanted to keep him and let him become the male master of the castle, but he developed a strong curiosity about the Lansi family's taboo. This curiosity will destroy my family. I have no choice but to banish him!"

Hong Ji-ge asked ignorantly, "What does it say?"

Zhai Cai said with a smile, "It says physical pleasure and emotional comfort!"

Zhao Chenghuang said in a deep voice, "Jumang's role, Dong, is the old castle master's lover!" He translated the contents of the paper to Hong Ji-ge.

"So, you are the murderer, aren't you? You killed the old castle master in order to obtain the Lansi family's taboo!" Hong Ji-ge suddenly understood.

However, no one paid attention to him. Zhang Yuanqing put down the paper in his hand and picked up another one, showing it to everyone: "Every night, I hear cat calls coming from the bottom of the city. 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 contain valuable information. There's no need to look at the others. They are accounts of the castle's revenue and expenditure."

Zhai Cai stroked his chin and sorted out the plot. Combined with the role information Jumang revealed before, the ancestors of the Lansi family were proficient in magic and sealed "her" in the castle's basement. The seal on her family's taboo had loosened not long ago, and Yalansi heard cat calls every night. The cat calls should be a symbol of her revival!

The Lansi family's magical inheritance was cut off, so Yalansi could only turn to her old lover, the magician Dong.

Although the magician Dong had coveted the taboo sealed in the castle's basement.

"I didn't expect it to be a lover relationship!" Zhang Yuanqing looked at Sun Miaomiao.

Sun Miaomiao said, "Get lost!"

Zhao Chenghuang frowned.

"Now that the old castle master has been killed, does it mean that she in the castle's basement has come out? If this is the case, the murderer who killed the old castle master should be 'her'!"

"If that's the case, then we have to find her name and then say it together to pass the level!" Zhang Yuanqing said.

"Then let's follow the plot and find out what's in the castle's basement! Anyway, everyone's skills and inventory have not been sealed, and we have the strength to fight even if we encounter monsters!"

"Alas, Guan Ya was eliminated by the plot and turned into a loot box. We have to investigate the case ourselves!" His suggestion was approved by his teammates.

The group left the old castle master's room, went down the stone steps back to the first floor, and then found a wooden iron-clad door at the end of the corridor on the left. The lock on the iron door had been pried open!

Zhang Yuanqing reached out and gently pushed the iron door. With a "creak," it opened, revealing a dark space. The air, humid and rotten, 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 dressed in a dirty cloth skirt 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 seal."

Hearing this, Hong Ji-ge pushed through the crowd, holding a basketball-sized fireball in his palm. He took the lead and entered the basement along the stone steps. The orange light of the burning fireball was reflected on the stone walls, swaying like water. The sound of everyone's footsteps echoed in the silent basement.

They walked down the stone steps in less than three minutes and arrived at the castle's basement. The castle's basement had not been visited for many years. Cobwebs were hanging in the corners, and the stone bricks on the ground were covered with irregular mud stains.
