Live Action Murder Mystery

Chapter 70: Folding Castle (8)

Views:

Gu Liang's earliest plan was to go directly to the fifth floor to see the situation.

But now that so many players have gone to the fifth floor, he decided to continue searching the fourth floor.

After all, this time is only a phase task, not to find the final murderer.

Except for Princess Rose played by Su Lan, the others should have nothing to do with the killing of Ai Meili; plus they are together, there should be no possibility of hiding evidence.

So, after walking out of the big master bedroom in the Duke's room, Gu Liang came to the next room.

They opened this room during their investigation, but at that time everyone just took a cursory look and did not go in for a detailed inspection.

At this moment, Gu Liang was able to go inside to investigate the details.

This is a piano room.

At first glance, the piano looks like a piano, but upon closer inspection, it is very different from a piano.

There is a carpet under the body of the piano. The patterns on the carpet are sunflowers, and the murals on the wall are also sunflowers.

At first, Gu Liang thought that this piano room was prepared for Ai Meili.

But approaching the body of the piano, when he saw the sheet music on the frame and found that the names on it were all in English, Gu Liang realized that this was the Duke's piano.

Gu Liang approached the score and looked at the opened page. It was written in English: "This is Meili's favorite piece. She is often depressed. Sit in a room surrounded by sunflowers and listen to me playing this piece." The tune will make her feel better."

Yang Ye walked in at this moment.

When he came to the side of the piano, he stretched out his hand and tapped the keys casually. The sound was completely different from that of the piano. It was clearer and deeper, with a strong sense of metal.

Yang Yedao: "This is called a harpsichord. Later, when the piano became popular, it was gradually replaced. From a certain point of view, it can be regarded as the predecessor of the piano."

Gu Hao looked at him curiously. "Do you know the piano?"

Yang Ye smiled: "I just learned a little piano when I was a child, so I don't really understand it. It's just that my old man bought such an old antique before and used it at home as a pretense."

After Yang Ye finished speaking, he sat down in front of the piano. After seeing the score, he put his fingers on the keys and started playing.

It didn't go well at first, but after a few tries, Yang Ye was able to play the music according to the score.

He seems to be a little self-taught, the more he plays, the more proficient he is, and the more he plays, the smoother he is.

Gu Liang also seemed to find it interesting, and immediately sat on the sofa next to him and listened.

Gu Liang is indeed a pure science talent.

If he hadn't insisted on contradicting his father in the first year of high school, he must have chosen reason. Later, he studied literature and then law, which was not his real interest at all.

He doesn't know much about liberal arts, and he doesn't have any artistic talent for painting and music.

For example, he is not like Yang Ye, who understands the difference between the timbre of the harpsichord and the piano.

But now he listened for a while, as if he had listened.

There are brilliant sunflowers on the wall behind him, and in front of him is the harpsichord invented in the 15th century. Yang Ye, who plays the piano, seems very attractive.

His expression is focused, his fingers are slender and powerful, and his movements of tapping the keys are very charming.

On his fair, bloodless skin, his pupils looked extremely dark.

The most deadly thing was that he raised his head and smiled at himself.

There is a strange magic in that smile, which makes people want to completely indulge in it.

It was at this moment that Gu Liang realized something was wrong.

——Yang Ye's eyes turned dark blue, just like a Westerner.

His skin was also whiter, as if he had just woken up after sleeping for hundreds of centuries.

At the same time, his lips were very red, the color of blood, as if he had sucked a lot of blood just now.

The smile on his face is also completely different from his usual teasing or affectionate smile. At this moment, his smile seems to be full of evil.

The feeling of being bewitched and fascinated by him disappeared instantly.

Gu Liang's heart was filled with fear that he couldn't even describe, and a hatred from the bone marrow.

It seemed that everything just now was just because the person in front of him was so good-looking, and he was too gentlemanly and charming when he played the piano, so he had a momentary fascination with the person in front of him.

But after Duanjiu's infatuation disappeared, what filled his heart was a churning hatred.

—Hate to the point that even if he kills himself, he will destroy it.

No, this is not me.

I don't hate Yang Ye.

I shouldn't be able to understand this song either.

I shouldn't know how to enjoy music...

what's the problem

Gu Liang raised his hand subconsciously, looked down, and saw long nails growing on his ten fingers.

Ten-fingered Danko, bright red and gorgeous—these are a pair of women's hands.

No, something is wrong.

Yang Ye became a Duke

I became Emily

stop.

All this must stop!

With a sound of "Peng", the door was pushed open, and the door panel collided with the wall, making a loud noise.

Then came Li Xiaoyu's voice: "Okay, we are seriously searching for evidence, you are here playing the piano and falling in love! Eh? Is this a piano? It seems different."

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

The nightmare suddenly faded away.

Gu Liang lowered his head and looked at his hand—it returned to its original state.

He raised his head again and looked at Yang Ye. The color of his pupils, his skin tone, and his lips all returned to normal.

Yang Ye frowned, his expression obviously a little dazed, as if he didn't know what happened just now.

Gu Liang stood up, feeling his back was soaked.

Yang Ye immediately stepped forward to support him: "What happened just now?"

Gu Liang let out a breath. "It's not clear, it seems that both of us are possessed, or our souls are out of our bodies."

"Xiaoyu, thank you very much."

Gu Liang immediately glanced at the qin in front of him, his expression returned to calm, and he teased Yang Ye, "Tell us about this, don't play the qin indiscriminately."

Yang Ye asked him, "Did I play well just now?"

Gu Liang: "I don't understand music. But after I had the feeling of being possessed, I seemed to understand it all of a sudden, and I felt very good."

There was another sentence that Gu Liang didn't say.

—After being suspected of being possessed, he still found Yang Ye quite charming.

At this moment, Li Xiaoyu spoke to Yang Ye and said, "You play very well. I just searched for evidence in the next room next door, and I was attracted by the sound of the piano."

Yang Ye frowned: "That's weird. I know the staff, but playing the piano is really at the kindergarten level. Besides, it's different from the piano."

While speaking, Yang Ye picked up the piano score from the piano stand, flipped through it, and there was a sentence written on the next page of the score: "If you leave, I will wait for you at your favorite place."

"Favorite place?" Yang Ye put back the score, "Where do you think it is?"

Gu Liangdao: "It should be the place where sunflowers are planted in the garden. But three hundred years later, it's hard to say where the sunflowers are planted. Let's look for it later, and maybe we can find the map of the old castle."

Li Xiaoyu said: "By the way, do you want to follow me to the room I stayed in just now? It's the next door. It seems a bit special there, with a lot of paint."

After Li Xiaoyu said this, Gu Liang and Yang Ye followed her to that room.

The room was very small. When they first checked, they probably saw that it was a servant's room, so they left.

This time, Li Xiaoyu opened all the boxes inside, and Gu Liang saw that there were indeed oil paints inside.

In addition, there was a row of wooden shelves piled with sundries beside the bed. Gu Liang searched for a while and found a lot of brushes, many of which hadn't been cleaned and were covered with paint.

This person has paints and brushes in his room.

Could it be that he is the one who painted murals for the entire castle

Gu Liang frowned, then walked to the bed.

Gu Liangben hadn't noticed just now. Because things like beds are normal.

But he suddenly realized that he was in the script of the vampire.

Su Lan also mentioned just now that vampires sleep in coffins.

Therefore, the wooden plank bed that was originally normal now looks abnormal.

"Could it be a human being living in this house, rather than a vampire?"

Gu Liang stepped forward, picked up the pillow on the bed, and found a piece of paper under it, which was written in Chinese.

Gu Liang picked up the paper and saw that it said: "One day without seeing each other, thinking about it like crazy."

Turn the paper over and there is a portrait on it.

The face on the portrait is very familiar—Li Xiaoyu's.

At the end of the portrait is the painter's signature, which simply and plainly says: "Oriental Warlock".

Li Xiaoyu came over and also saw the painting. "So this person likes Ai Meili?"

At this point, Yang Ye went to another box and found a lot of spell books.

Yang Ye opened one of them, and slowly found a magic circle, which was exactly the same as the one drawn in the book in the duke's room.

"It seems that he not only painted the murals of the castle, but also taught the Duke how to travel back 300 years."

Yang Yedao, "He is an oriental magician with high attainments in metaphysics."

Gu Liang couldn't help frowning: "That's very strange. Yang Ye, look, he obviously likes Ai Meili. Since he likes her, why did he help the Duke find her reincarnation?"

"It's really strange." It was Li Xiaoyu who said this.

She found a box from under the plank bed, and opened it at the moment. Inside the box were all silver crosses. "This kind of thing should be used to kill vampires. Is he going to kill Ai Meili?"

Gu Liang said: "Use it to kill the Duke. He really likes Ai Meili, and it is very possible that he approached this castle despite the danger for Ai Meili."

Li Xiaoyu frowned: "Then I don't know."

The three of them are a little unclear at the moment.

After leaving this room, they went to the servant's room next to it.

Gu Liang thought of something, and asked Li Xiaoyu: "By the way, where did Su Lan go?"

——The castle is so treacherous, she can't investigate on this floor alone, right

Li Xiaoyu coughed and said in a low voice: "She, after hearing you playing the piano, she went upstairs."

Gu Liang understood what was coming, and looked sideways at Yang Ye.

Yang Ye was actually a little helpless. "I really don't know what's going on with her, she's weird."

"Yang Ye, did she know you in reality?" Thinking of a possibility, Li Xiaoyu asked him.

Yang Ye shook his head: "I have no impression. Probably not."

Li Xiaoyu: "The person I told you I liked before, do you still remember? I had a crush on him for half a year before I dared to pursue him. People couldn't believe that I liked him for half a year, saying they didn't even know who I was. "

"Maybe she is in a similar situation to me. She used to be your little fan girl, but you didn't know it. But don't worry, she thinks she has almost given up. After my observation, she is not bad, and she doesn't want to break you up. She is just upset, and sometimes needs to vent. After a while, it will be fine. This kind of person who puts everything on his face is much better than someone who secretly schemes. "

When Yang Ye heard this, he just kept staring at Gu Liang.

Gu Liang was quite calm, pushed away another servant's room next to him, and walked in.

"Gu Liang, don't worry, I'll take care of it. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't think too much about it." Yang Ye followed in.

"I don't think much about it."

Gu Liang glanced at him, he couldn't explain why, he smiled lightly, and held up a pamphlet in front of him, "Let's solve the case first."

This room is located between the piano room and the oriental warlock room.

In the center of the room was a coffin instead of a bed.

This seems to be normal in this old castle.

On the pamphlet that Gu Liang held up, the title page reads in English: "Records of Stewardship — from [The Steward Making Soy Sauce]"

It seems that the one who lives here is the steward.

And this record is what he wrote down.

Gu Liang read the records carefully and found many clues related to the Eastern Warlock.

Gu Liang folded the pages he thought were more important and showed them to Yang Ye and Li Xiaoyu.

"On October 4th, 7 people were captured. It's been a long time since so many people were caught. It's great."

"However, all this should be over soon. Our great Duke, his strength is already very strong."

"He's not afraid of light, not even silver, or crosses. Anything that can kill a vampire won't kill him."

"To a certain extent, this also reduces our work, and we don't have to search everyone. Anyway, everyone can't kill the Duke."

"On October 5th, a man was arrested to donate blood to the Duke. I don't know what he said to the Duke. The Duke actually regarded him as a guest of honor and let him live next door to me? Really, how many years have I been with the Duke? How old is he?"

"He said he was called an oriental warlock, but well, this man does have some skills. I have never seen the Duchess smile. She smiled after seeing the sunflowers painted by the oriental warlock."

"I also looked at those sunflowers. They really seem to have souls and are alive."

"I haven't seen the sun for many years, and the moment I saw the painting, I felt healed by the sun. Well... well, my opinion of him has changed."

"On October 8, the oriental warlock spent three days painting sunflowers in his wife's room. Today he was called by the princess to paint roses."

"Before Princess Rose became a vampire, she liked roses the most. Unfortunately, after becoming a vampire, she hasn't been in the rose garden in the sun for a long time."

"Seeing the roses all over the wall and growing in the sun, the princess is very happy."

"The princess is happy, don't lose your temper, and we are servants, so we are also happy."

"Well, I really have to thank the Oriental Warlock. He also kindly gave me the painting, and I hung it on the wall."

"Since he drew me handsomely, I won't bother with him for the time being."

"October 11th, the Eastern Warlock got a lot of rewards. It's really enviable. I'm starting to envy him again. I really want to bite his neck and turn him into a vampire!"

"On October 13, the Oriental warlocks painted in the order of the lobby, the third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor, and the sixth floor."

"Speaking of which, I don't know what to do with the sixth floor. It's so empty and unoccupied. Who can draw murals for them?"

"I heard that the reason the Duke didn't turn his wife into a vampire in the first place was because he wanted her to give him a child as a human. He probably left the sixth floor for the children. But ah... tsk tsk, madam I don't want to."

"November 7, my God, my wife died. Who would kill such a kind and beautiful girl?"

"The duke is heartbroken..."

"I have an ominous premonition, as if I won't live long..."

At this point, the recording stopped abruptly.

When Yang Ye and Li Xiaoyu were reading the records, Gu Liang saw a portrait of a person on the wall behind the coffin.

It was a pale face, wearing a black office uniform with a red bow tie around the neckline, smiling a bit stiffly.

It seems that this is the portrait given to him by the oriental magician.

In this way, Gu Liang got a very important piece of information.

—The murals in this ancient castle were originally painted by oriental warlocks.

The oriental warlock likes Ai Meili, and may even come to this castle to save Ai Meili.

But why, after Emily died, would he help the Duke cross

Yang Ye finished reading the record at this time, and said: "There is a very important piece of information mentioned above. Conventional things that can kill vampires, such as silver tools and crosses, will not work on the Duke."

"It stands to reason that Warlock himself understands this very well, so he should know. Besides, he seems to have a good relationship with the steward, so he should be able to hear about it from the steward."

"Then, the silver cross in the Eastern Warlock's room was not used to kill the Duke, it was used to kill Emily."

Gu Liang really felt very strange. "But why? Doesn't he like Ai Meili?"

Li Xiaoyu had an idea, and said: "Could it be... He knew that Ai Meili had become a vampire, so he had to kill her, right? Or, Ai Meili wanted to die, so she begged him to kill herself. He had no choice. Ai Meili didn't want to use this There is no way to survive, so he had to kill her. Woohoo, so cruel!"

Gu Liang was silent for a while, then said: "What Xiaoyu said makes sense. It's a possibility. It's just that it still doesn't explain why he helped the Duke cross."

Yang Yedao: "Let's check here again, let's go upstairs and see how the corpse died first, such as whether there are marks of a cross on the chest."

"No, no, no!"

Li Xiaoyu, a playwright, covered her chest, "That corpse is another me! You can't watch it! Even if it's gay!"

Gu Liang thought for a while and reminded her: "Old Mengtou and the others may have seen it..."

Li Xiaoyu ran out angrily and pressed the elevator. "I'm going to go up and fight him hard!"

After Li Xiaoyu went to the fifth floor, Yang Ye and Gu Liang continued to search in the steward's room, but they found something—a clue about Earl William.

It was a note addressed to the steward in the duke's tone.

"I received a letter from Earl William today, saying that he wants to visit us. Heh, this kid has been thinking about Princess Rose, and he probably wants to marry her. Let's see what Rose means. He probably won't arrive until a month later. He took a random room on the sixth floor.—Dahl, October 7."

After reading this note, Yang Ye turned his sideways eyes suddenly, and found that Gu Liang was staring at him meaningfully.

Yang Ye threw the note away. "This note is nonsense. I have no emotional line with her! I bit you and turned you into mine, so you are in my emotional line!"

"What are you thinking?"

Gu Liang glanced at him, feeling a little funny. "I was thinking that the reason for Earl William's coming here in this note is different from what you said."

Holding his glasses, Yang Ye seemed to recall a bit, and then said: "In my story, I did fight a werewolf, and escaped after losing. I really have no relationship with the princess. Instead, when I was playing the piano just now..."

"Huh? What happened when you were playing the piano?" Gu Liang asked.

"I can't explain that feeling." Yang Ye's expression became a little serious, "I just saw you, and I felt that you were Ai Meili. And I seem to like Ai Meili. It's so strange."

"It's really weird."

Recalling the situation in the piano room just now, Gu Liang still has lingering fears.

But right now he couldn't come up with any ideas, so he could only continue to explore with Yang Ye.

After carefully turning around the fourth floor, everyone should have searched the fifth floor almost, and we can discuss it together later, so Yang Ye and Gu Liang did not go to the fifth floor, but took the elevator down to the third floor—— Rose The place where the princess and her servants live.

Three hundred years ago, everyone in the castle formed a good habit of keeping diaries frequently.

Unsurprisingly, Princess Rose also has a diary in her dresser.

The diary is very messy, but the general content is actually similar to what Su Lan said, that is, she does have murderous intentions for Ai Meili.

"The only mother I recognize is my biological mother. She was torn to pieces by werewolves. Father, what you have to do is to increase your strength to avenge your mother! Instead of falling in love with another woman here!"

"Father, you really forgot your purpose of escaping here. You are trying to recharge your batteries, fight back, and take back our land!"

"Now you are disappointing, you are a fool in love!"

"I have to kill her. In addition to preventing her from snatching my things, killing her can restore my father's fighting spirit. He has to remember what his real mission is."

"I really want to stab that woman's chest with a silver cross, and let her be completely wiped out. But I dare not touch the cross... If I'm not careful, I might be the one who died."

"I'm a cowardly person. I used to be human, so I don't want to drink human blood. If my strength becomes stronger, will I be able to kill her without being afraid of the cross?"

"But my mother will be disappointed. She said don't forget that you were born human..."

There is no other special information on the princess floor.

Yang Ye and Gu Liang went to the fifth floor.

It took a lot of time to carefully check the fourth and third floors.

When we reached the fifth floor, there were almost 40 minutes left, and it was time for the second stage of intensive discussion.

As Gu Liang expected, the players who had been searching on the fifth floor also made a very important discovery.

Seeing Yang Ye and Gu Liang appear, Meng Qiancheng excitedly took them to a servant's room and said, "This servant is very suspicious! Her name is servant A! She has too many things!"

"Don't get excited, speak slowly." Gu Liang reminded.

"Okay, I've already told Su Lan and Li Xiaoyu excitedly, and I'll tell you again."

Meng Qiancheng pointed to a box, which was another box full of silver crosses.

Meng Qiancheng said: "Servant A, she has a crush on the duke! She loves the duke so much that she's crazy about it. You'll know after reading her diary. She also thought of a way that she can touch the silver cross .So, she can kill Ai Meili without hurting herself!"

Gu Liang interrupted. "Sorry to interrupt, how did Emily die?"

"There is a wound on the chest, it should be from the cross." Meng Qiancheng said.

From behind, Li Xiaoyu's voice came sternly. "Old Mengtou, you are old and disrespectful!"

Meng Qiancheng hurriedly said: "Don't blame me! Sister Mei watched it! Boss Mei and I didn't watch it! Don't talk nonsense!! I'm very serious!"

"Hey, let's get down to business—" Meng Qiancheng looked at Yang Ye and Gu Liang, "What about this Duke Dahl, after he captured Ai Meili, he kept telling people that she was his wife. But he hasn't actually married her yet. His The wedding was planned to be held on November 8th. So servant A decided to kill Ai Meili on the eve of the wedding."

"On November 7th, servant A has been observing the situation in Ai Meili's room."

"When everyone is away and Ai Meili is alone in the room, she can go in and do it."

"As for who entered Ai Meili's room at what time, the other servants also have a few words of records."

"We have summarized everyone's timeline!"

"Overall, tsk tsk, servant A is very suspicious!"

The author has something to say:

[Little theater of brain holes, don't take it seriously!]

Yang Ye and Gu Liang went home after their appointment, feeling extremely comfortable.

Gu Liangliang is also very well-behaved today, every time he sees him, Yang Ye feels his heart is about to melt.

After holding back for a day and wanting to enjoy the night life of husband and wife, when Yang Ye rushed towards Gu Liang, Gu Liang stopped him.

"Cool cool?!"

"You go take a shower first."

"Alright baby, wait for my husband!"

When Yang Ye took a bath, he was in an extremely happy mood.

Can he finally start a harmonious life with Gu Liangliang

When he finished his bath and wanted Gu Liang to pounce on him again.

Gu Liang stepped aside, revealing the chessboard behind him.

"Baby, at this time... you want to play chess with me?"

Gu Liang nodded seriously: "Well, I thought about it. Let's compete."

"Compared to what??"

"Whoever wins the chess game will be number one."
