Jiang Feng and Asuna ran to the bottom of the church and shouted upwards, "Pull it down quickly."

The man whose chest was pierced seemed to struggle only after hearing Jiang Feng's shout. He grasped the sword with both hands and began to pull it out slowly and forcefully.

But under the dual effects of pain and being hung up, no matter how hard he tried, the blood-red sword seemed to be attached to his body, not moving at all, which made people very anxious.

Asuna said to Jiang Feng, "You continue downstairs, I'll go upstairs." Then she ran up the stairs.

Jiang Feng ran under the man, but Jiang Feng's actions seemed to stimulate the man. He held the sword with both hands as if pumping it in his body, and he groaned in pain from time to time.

Jiang Feng just wanted to say, you'd better keep it in your body, it's too tiring.

After the man struggled for a while, as if his life was exhausted, he stopped struggling.

Under the setting sun, the man was nailed to the church by a long sword, just like a scene of judgment. Then the man's figure flickered, and finally turned into pieces and returned to Aincrad.

The blood-red sword that was inserted into his chest also lost its support and fell off, sticking into the stone bricks on the street. Only the rope that had just tied the man's neck was left, swaying in the breeze.

"what!!!"

The woman's scream broke the quiet evening, adding a touch of horror to the scene.

Jiang Feng, who knew the development of the plot, also decided to act and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, quickly find the sign of victory in the duel."

But no one responded. People are like this. They eat melons but are afraid of blood splashing on themselves, so they keep silent when something happens.

Asuna also arrived upstairs. She shouted downstairs: "Jiang Feng, there is no one upstairs."

Seeing that the performance was almost over, Jiang Feng no longer stayed with the crowd, as it was time for them to leave.

Jiang Feng pulled out the bloody sword that was stuck in the man's chest and came to the attic to meet Asuna.

Jiang Feng held the long sword and began to cooperate with the co-conspirators in the performance. He began to ask Asuna, one of the only two people who were listening to the drums, "Asuna, what do you think?"

Asuna leaned against the wall and expressed her understanding. "Based on what happened, the duelist stabbed the sword into the man's chest, tied a rope around his neck, and threw him down from above. That should be the case."

Detective Asuna is online, and although it makes sense, it's all what the perpetrator wants Jiang Feng and Asuna to see.

Even Jiang Feng, who knew the plot well, felt that this plan was too clever. If it weren't for Tongzi's extreme luck in the original novel, he might not have been able to guess the method of committing the crime.

Jiang Feng said: "There is no sign of victory in a duel below, it is not caused by a duel."

"Impossible. The only way to cause damage in the circle is by dueling."

"It could also be a malicious bug. After all, this is a game world and we can't look at it with a realistic perspective."

The two were silent for a moment, and Asuna said, "No matter what, we can't just sit there and do nothing. If this matter spreads and ferments, it will only cause greater panic."

Looking at Jiang Feng who looked indifferent, Asuna knew she had to take action. She walked up to Jiang Feng and said to him, "Jiang Feng, I need your help."

"I am glad to."

Jiang Feng was of course happy. Not only could he find the [Smiling Coffin] to complete the task, but he could also improve Asuna's favorability. It was really killing two birds with one stone.

After making the decision, Jiang Feng and Asuna walked down from upstairs together. The outside of the building was already full of players who were curious about this matter.

Jiang Feng said to the crowd: "Everyone, is there anyone who saw the whole process of what happened just now? Can you come out and answer a few questions?"

The players began to talk, but no one stood up. Just when Asuna felt embarrassed, a long-haired girl walked out from the crowd.

Asuna gently consoled him, "I'm sorry, you've just been through something so horrible, and I'm asking you to recall it now. What's your name?"

The girl panicked and stammered, "My...my name is Youerke."

Jiang Feng said: "From the sound, were those two screams just now also you?"

Youerke nodded and said, "It's me. I just finished having dinner with the deceased. The man's name was Keynes. He used to be in a union outside and just got separated in the square."

Youerke was crying as she spoke, "When I looked around, he suddenly appeared from the window of the church..." When she said this, Youerke sobbed and became unable to speak.

Seeing Yuruko's sad look, Asuna quickly stepped forward to comfort her. While patting Yuruko's back, she asked softly, "Did you see anyone suspicious?"

Yuerke immediately blurted out, “Although it was only a moment, there seemed to be a figure standing behind Cainz.”

Asuna continued to ask quietly: "So what impression do you have of that figure?"

Youerke stopped talking and just shook his head.

Seeing that Youerke's performance was over, Jiang Feng knew it was his turn to go on stage. Jiang Feng said softly, "Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I still want to ask if you have any clues about why Mr. Keynes was targeted."

Youerke said nothing, just shook his head.

Until late at night, Jiang Feng and Asuna had not found any clues, and Youerke did not leave because she was too sad.

Seeing that it was getting late at night, Jiang Feng suggested that they call it a day for the day and send Ms. Youerke home first.

In front of the hotel, Youerko thanked Jiang Feng and Asuna, "Thank you for sending me here."

Asuna said, "You're welcome. Please help us with the investigation tomorrow as well."

"Ok."

Then Jiang Feng and Asuna watched Youerko walk into the hotel.

Jiang Feng also pushed the plot forward at the right time and said, "Asuna, what should we do next?"

Asuna thought for a moment and said, "Let's sort out the information we have first. It would be even better if we can find the maker of that sword."

"That requires an identification skill, and I think neither of us has upgraded this skill."

"Yes, we need to find someone who can do the appraisal. My friend can do it, but he is very busy right now."

Jiang Feng knew it was time for him to push the plot forward again. "Asuna, I remember there is someone in the strategy group who can identify it. Why don't we go find him and take a look?"

Soon Jiang Feng and Asuna arrived at the 50th floor, a grocery store in a busy street alley.

Jiang Feng pushed the door open and walked in, greeting immediately: "Long time no see, Agil."

When the dark-skinned bald guy saw that the person coming was Jiang Feng, he put down his work and said, "It's Jiang Feng, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

Jiang Feng naturally knew Aikil. Tongzi had only a few good friends, and he introduced them all to Jiang Feng. They had a pretty good relationship.
