Ann opened the door with a finger, and the old butler stood there:

"Mr. Ann, the suspension bridge ......"

"I hear you"

He came out and looked, and found that the others were not there:

"What about the others?"

"They're all going to see the drawbridge"

"Let's get over too"

Tu Hongyu put on his hat and took the umbrella handed by the old housekeeper and went downstairs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The three of them hurriedly rushed to the direction of the suspension bridge with rain gear, bypassing the new house standing there, and Ann pointed to see several people standing on the suspension bridge, which should be said to be the original suspension bridge, and the sound of Munston cursing loudly could be heard among them.

"Everyone, please calm down, tomorrow there will be people who will come here regularly to deliver food, and they will help us rebuild a suspension bridge"

The old housekeeper stabilized a few excited guests, An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu came to the side of the suspension bridge, half of the suspension bridge was still hanging on the opposite cliff wall, and the remaining half had been washed away by the raging river below.

"There was no problem with the drawbridge when we came, but it was cut after the crime?"

It's not that they haven't read this kind of Blizzard Villa model novel, and when they came in, they deliberately looked at the suspension bridge to see if there was any problem, such as whether it was drenched with gasoline, etc., and the result was naturally no problem.

"Cut, the prisoner used a sharp knife or other sharp weapon"

The suspension bridge was made of several pieces of hemp rope to form a strong rope, and the fractures of each small one were neat and neat, but the broken joints of the thick ropes were not very regular, and there were no scars on the wooden stakes, which indicated that the prisoners did not use axes but used knives to cut them little by little.

As for footprints.......

Leaving the suspension bridge is a cobblestone path with no footprints left at all.

But it leaves a little clue.

The ropes of the suspension bridge are arm thick, and several hemp ropes are twisted together, and their toughness and hardness are not low, if you use a large sharp blade such as an axe, it is possible to cut it in a short time, and even if it is sharp, it will take a lot of time and considerable strength to replace it with a knife.

He told the group to go back to where they were, intending to identify the suspect by asking who had just been absent.

As a result, when they returned to the dining room of the old mansion, they found an incredible scene.

Eugene's body, gone!

Only a pool of blood was left at the scene.

An Yizhi remembered that he deliberately glanced back before going out, and the body was still there at that time, and it was only a few minutes after leaving, and the body was gone.

The two players and the old butler were the last to go to the drawbridge, when everyone was at the drawbridge and there was no chance to carry the corpses.

Could it be that there is another person hiding in this house besides those 8 people? Is he or she the murderer?

If you think about it this way, this incident can be explained, the murderer is not any of the eight people, he has been hiding in the old mansion, waiting for the power outage to kill Eugene, and then re-lurking, waiting for everyone to gather in the restaurant before going out to cut the suspension bridge.

But why move Eugene's body?

No matter how you assume, there is always something that doesn't make sense.

An Yizhi decided not to think about who the prisoner was for the time being, if he thought about this question directly, it was likely to be bypassed, and the basic reasoning was to follow the vine, it was better to return his thoughts to the original point instead of going directly to the prisoner.

On the other side, Tu Hongyu was asking who had just found out that the suspension bridge was broken, and who else was not there when they were asking about the others.

"I found it"

Charles said:

"When I went to the bathroom, I saw through the window that the drawbridge was gone"

"When was that?"

"Probably after you asked me"

"Did anyone go out before that?"

Then Mrs. Green replied:

"I've been to the toilet once, and Monston went with me"

Seeing everyone's gaze, Munston stopped doing it at that time:

"Are you suspicious of us as a couple? Why should I trap myself in this hellish place! ”

Tu Hongyu simply ignored him and asked loudly:

"Is there anyone else?"

"That...... I'll be away for a while."

Hamill raised his hand with some cringe:

"I was the first person to go to the toilet, and then Mr. and Mrs. Green"

"Was the drawbridge still there then?"

"In"

After inquiry, it was learned that only the four of them had left the house, and each of them could be the one who cut the drawbridge, not to mention the people reminded by Charles, he also had the possibility of a thief shouting to catch a thief.

"Butler, where are the rain gear?"

"The spare ones are in the storage room, but we'll have some in the front room to have them ready to use."

That is, anyone can go out with rain gear?

An Yizhi looked at the clothes of the four people with a heavy finger, all of them had some different degrees of water damage, but this could not be used as evidence, and it could be justified as getting it when he went out to check the drawbridge just now.

"I've had enough! Ask again! Do you really think of me as a prisoner? I'm going back to my room to rest! Leave this place tomorrow, and talk to my lawyer about any problems! ”

After speaking, Monston took Mrs. 's hand and walked towards the new house, everyone saw that An Yizhi and Tu Hongyu did not stop them, and they also hesitated for a moment and went back to their rooms, leaving only a few servants and two players.

"Why did you let them go?"

"There's no way to determine who is the one who separates the drawbridge"

An Yizhi only planned to take this opportunity to narrow down the scope of the suspect, so he didn't remind the suspension bridge. As a result, he managed to reduce the number of suspects from 8 to 4.

Then he and Tu Hongyu divided into two ways, each took a servant to walk around the old mansion several times but did not find Eugene's body, so he had no choice but to give up temporarily, and turned his head to go to Eugene's office first to see, maybe he could find something.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

"It's a rich man's bedroom, look at this bed"

As soon as Tu Hongyu entered Eugene's bedroom, he whistled and said.

"Well, I'm waiting at the door, please call me if you need anything"

"Thanks, okay"

The old butler owes himself and closes the door.

Eugene's bedroom seems to have been merged with the office, and the room that was already a circle larger than the guest room is now three times larger.

Asking Tu Hongyu to search the cabinet, An Yizhi walked to the desk, intending to start from here.

On the table were the processed papers and the open humidor, with Eugene's signature at the bottom of the paper, and it was said that his handwriting was very good, and he was obviously well-educated.

However, these documents are not systematically translated, and An Yizhi is an English idiot, looking at these documents is like a blind dog looking at the stars.

Anyway, the lack of a systematic translation means that these things are useless, just a prop to improve the sense of presence.

This is also a small trick summed up by players, and the part that is not translated by the system generally does not have any decisive clues.

Ann Yizhi most hopes to find Eugene's diary, which usually has clues in it.

But he searched several times, not to mention the diary, not even anything of a documentary nature.

Looking at Tu Hongyu, the latter shook his head, indicating that he had not found anything noteworthy.

"Would you like to see the safe?"

"I'd like to see, but the question is how do you open that thing?"

The old butler must not have a key, and Eugene, no matter how generous he is, will not give a housekeeper the key to his own safe.

Wait, so to speak......

Could it be that Eugene's disappearance has something to do with this safe?

Eighty percent of the keys are on Eugene, maybe there is some evidence in the safe against the murderer......

It doesn't seem to make sense.

An Yizhi scratched his head and thought secretly:

Isn't it okay to just take the key? Why go to the trouble of removing the body?

An adult man has seventy or eighty kilograms, and it is not easy to move him. After all, the very matter of moving corpses is puzzling.

Bodies are often moved to cover up the actual location of the victim in order to interfere with police searches. Or there may be evidence left on the body that is unfavorable to the murderer. Of course, there are other reasons, such as a simple psychopath who wants to dismember a corpse.

But in any case, the murderer has a purpose in moving the body, and it is impossible to be idle and have nothing to do. Judging from the traces at the scene, Eugene's body was not dragged away, but lifted, because there was no blood left on the ground, considering that the murderer may have used some kind of large cloth such as bed sheets to wrap the body and then carry it, it is obviously unlikely that such a time-consuming and laborious body has no exact purpose.

"What do you think this is?"

Tu Hongyu pulled out a translucent glass bottle from the bottom cabinet, and there was less than half of the liquid in the bottle.

He looked at the label on the bottle: "Coca ......"

"Well, I don't have to read it to know what it is"

"Huh?"

"This thing is a type of drug, for the sake of harmony, you know"

"Oh......"

It seems to be the norm for wealthy people like this to take drugs, but the amount is not normal.

They found a neat drawer in the partition under the cabinet!

"Pharmaceuticals on the surface, but drug trafficking in private, right?"

"Throw it aside, then look elsewhere"

What kind of profession is Eugene, An Yizhi is not interested in this, even if he really sells drugs, everyone is dead anyway.

Refocusing on the search, he found a small piece of ash in the ashtray.

Not soot, but the remains of a note, only a small piece that was not completely broken.

"It's all burned to ashes, what can you see?"

Seeing An pointing at the ashtray, Tu Hongyu couldn't help but say.

"I don't understand, I'll tell you a secret, this is what I learned from the Murder on the Orient Express"

Strike a long match to light your pipe and hold it close to the ashes. The remnants of the handwriting were revealed against the flames......

"Devil grass, mandala, poison fly umbrella?"

It seems that some of the names of some plants are on this note, but the full picture is unknown, and only a small piece of ash remains.

"Mandala, I know, what is devil grass and poison fly umbrella?"

"All of them are highly toxic and hallucinogenic plants"

"Used to make drugs?"

"No, these things can also be used in medicine, see how to use them"

It's normal for Eugene to have these terms in the office of Eugene, who runs a pharmaceutical company on the surface, but why did he burn it?

The deeper I dig, the more I feel that there are hidden things in this script, and An Yizhi is more and more curious, what is the real truth......
