Nightingale Backstab◇

Roses soaked in blood are the most praiseworthy.

"So you have a Chinese name." Lin Jianyu was a little curious about the boy in front of him, feeling that he was very special.

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "That's right, I chose the name used in the previous racing competition randomly, because I was only there for fun."

"Why did you come to participate in this program?" Ye Zhihan asked, he never thought that this time the program team would hire a non-staff member.

Ji Xiao supported the table, and replied: "I forgot to tell you before, besides liking racing cars, I'm actually quite smart, and I'm well-known in the world Zhilian."

"Yo, my brother's tone is not small, which club?" Duan Jing was very interested.

Ji Xiao smiled and said, "Well, keep it secret."

"So you know each other?" Xu Ziyu asked.

Ye Zhihan glanced at Ji Xiao, with a strange expression on his face, "It's average."

What kind of answer is this?

But before they could get confused, instructions came from the announcement above the hall.

[Congratulations to everyone who successfully passed the first level. The next link is self-introduction. Everyone needs to explain their true identity to everyone. 】

"Everyone sit down first." Xu Jinshen pointed to the sofa and said.

Everyone picked the seat closest to them and sat down.

"Then let's start with me." Xu Ziyu was already fully involved in the drama, "From my outfit today, you should be able to guess that I am the housekeeper of this castle, and I am in charge of all matters in the castle. , so I stayed here last night."

"I'm a reporter from a newspaper. I was invited by Mr. Lesen to attend the banquet last night." Ji Xiao said while raising the old-fashioned camera hanging around his neck.

Xu Jinshen nodded and said, "I am the eldest son of the Duke of Lesen, and I will mainly host yesterday's banquet."

"I..." Duan was startled and raised his lips, "I'm a painter who was invited to paint a portrait for the Duke yesterday. He originally asked me to start painting today, but unfortunately."

Gu Xi: "I'm a private detective. As for why I'm here, I can't tell you yet."

"I am a violinist who has returned from studying abroad, and I was invited to play for the guests last night." Lin Jianyu said.

Ye Zhihan: "My identity is the second son of Duke Lesen."

"It seems that you are still relatives." Duan Jingzhi pointed at the two and smiled, "Two brothers, this sounds very suspicious. I have already thought of N kinds of dramas where brothers fight each other for property."

"It seems that everyone's identity is very special this time, which feels a bit interesting." Xu Ziyu said.

[The first round of evidence gathering is now going on, the time is 20 minutes, and the timer starts now. 】

"Let's go." Ye Zhihan was the first to stand up, "Go to the room first to search for evidence."

Everyone got up one after another and began to search for evidence in the room where everyone was just now.

"See Brother Yu, which room are you going to?" Ye Zhihan asked.

Lin Jianyu was next to him, "Let's go to Senior Duan's room first. His and Senior Xu's are also connected together. I think there should be many clues."

"Okay, I'll be with you."

"Little friend, do you want to come with me?" Duan was so startled that he didn't know when he came to Lin Jianyu's side.

"Ah?" Lin Jianyu was a little overwhelmed by the sudden invitation, "But we are going to search your room, senior."

"Really?" Duan sighed in shock and regret, "It turns out that you doubt me, a little sad."

Ye Zhihan suddenly interrupted: "Senior, don't you also suspect us, isn't our room next door?"

"He's with me, you guys go." Xu Jinshen pulled Duan Jing away and walked to the innermost room.

After entering the door, Lin Jianyu glanced at the general structure of the house, and found that there were a lot of paintings in this room. According to everyone's corresponding identity, this should be the room of Duan Jingzhi.

The most eye-catching thing is an unfinished painting in the corner of the room, which shows a rose garden.

White rose garden.

But the strange thing is that red dye was splashed on the painting, so half of the white roses were dyed red roses.

Some dazzling and heroic.

Lin Jianyu approached the painting and found that there were still some red marks on the ground. He squatted down and wiped it with his hands, but it was not finished yet. It seemed that the paint was splashed on it not long ago.

"Did you see anything in this painting?" Ye Zhihan asked, he always had a repulsive mentality towards these artistic things, so he had no clue about these things that had no logic and required a lot of perceptual thinking.

Lin Jianyu shook his head, "I can't see anything just by looking at this, and there should be other clues."

"Look at this." Ye Zhihan stood in front of a desk, holding a book in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianyu turned his head and approached him, "What?"

""The Nightingale and the Rose"?" Lin Jianyu looked at the English on the cover and asked in confusion.

"That's right." Ye Zhihan nodded, "I took a look, and most of the books on the table are related to painting, such as "History of Western Art" and "Aesthetics of Literature and Art", only this one is incompatible. And this book The story is quite interesting."

"Nightingale pounced her chest on the rose's thorns to complete the only red rose in the world." Lin Jianyu said as he looked at the painting just now. If he remembered it, "Is that the meaning of that painting?"

Ye Zhihan frowned: "I don't know, but what is certain is that this artist may not have simply come to paint for the Duke, he has other purposes, let's look for other clues."

"Hey." Lin Jianyu pressed Ye Zhihan's hand that was about to put down the book.

The sudden physical touch made Ye Zhihan freeze, "What's wrong?"

Lin Jianyu pointed to the gap on the side of the book, "There seems to be something in it."

"Huh?" Ye Zhihan turned the book over, then stood upside down and shook, and then a small wrapped note fell out of it.

"Is it the password again?" Ye Zhihan smiled helplessly.

Lin Jianyu tore apart the note, "A rose soaked in blood is the most praiseworthy, and death regulated by morality is the most pleasing to the heart."

"It's very interesting." Ye Zhihan commented after hearing this, "It seems that in this kind of artist's thinking, the rule of man has always occupied the rule of law, so did he choose to do it himself?"

"Maybe." Lin Jianyu put down the note and walked to the back of the painting. He felt strange no matter how he looked at it. Then he pulled the easel a distance and walked to the back of the painting.

"What did you find?" Ye Zhihan asked.

Lin Jianyu didn't speak, just lowered his head and touched the wooden board behind, then raised his head and said, "There seems to be something behind here."

"Let me take a look." Ye Zhihan walked over and took the painting down, and he saw a small crack. He followed the crack and took out the piece of wood, "It's so hidden?"

"The one inside is—" Lin Jianyu stared at the knife stained with red liquid and was stunned.

Ye Zhihan reached out and took out the knife, the handle was not stained with red liquid, he picked it up and smelled it, "It should be paint, but I don't know if it's really just paint or something else. "

Ye Zhihan's words are a bit creepy. Although it is impossible for real blood to appear in the show, according to the plot, it is very likely to be human blood, and he touched it just now.

"It seems that this person is very suspicious." Ye Zhihan smiled and played with the knife nimbly with his fingers, not feeling any danger at all.

"Time is running out, let's take a look next door first." Lin Jianyu suggested.

Ye Zhihan responded: "Okay."

Xu Jinshen's room looked very much like the owner's style, with a large European-style bed, a large bookcase, and exquisite refreshments on the small table.

"This is a diary." Lin Jianyu walked to the bookcase.

"The diary can often see the truest side of a person's heart." Ye Zhihan said, "Even lying will leave traces."

Lin Jianyu opened the title page and browsed backwards.

"After this banquet, there may be a new beginning."

"The butler said that my father held this banquet to announce the heir. He left it to me to prepare it this time. It seems that I am the heir."

"I didn't expect my father to let that kid be with me? It seems that someone has done something secretly."

"Passing past father's room, I heard that father actually wanted to hand over the inheritance to that kid!"

Ye Zhihan was standing behind Lin Jianyu, he looked at it and smiled: "I didn't expect to have my business here too."

Lin Jianyu looked back at him. Although this diary is the diary of the Duke's eldest son, it has something to do with the second son. It seems that Duan Jingzhi's guess is really right, it really has something to do with inheritance.

Judging from the content here, the two had a conflict because of the position of successor, and the relationship should not be very good.

Moreover, the eldest son should be very emotional when he learned that the Duke is going to hand over the inheritance rights to the second son, and maybe he will commit some patricide because of this.

"It seems that this is the obvious clue to this room." Lin Jianyu closed the diary.

Ye Zhihan was noncommittal, "Why don't you go and see senior brother, the housekeeper is mentioned in the diary, I guess he has some clues."

"it is good."

When the two entered Xu Ziyu's room, they found that Ji Xiao was also there.

"Are you here?" Ji Xiao waved his hand.

"Well. Did you find any clues?" Lin Jianyu asked.

Ji Xiao shook the thing on his left hand, "This."

"Envelope?" Ye Zhihan picked it up and looked at it, "To: Housekeeper."

"You can take a look at the contents inside," Ji Xiao said, "These letters were all sent from the same place. The contents of a year ago were all very common greetings, but since February this year, the contents have been There's been a change."

Lin Jianyu and Ye Zhihan listened to him while watching, "This housekeeper seems to have some kind of grievance with the Duke. The content of the letter is to tell him not to be impulsive. When he comes back, there is no clue who this "he" is, but There should be other instructions, but I haven't found them yet. "

Lin Jianyu read it roughly, and it was similar to what Ji Xiao said.

"What is this?" Lin Jianyu pointed to an iron cabinet in the corner.

"It's a password cabinet. I was looking for the password just now." Ji Xiao said.

Ye Zhihan laughed: "The password? I might have found it."
