The Struggle History of Idols

"The deceased had no obvious injuries. There were no signs of a fight at the scene. The doors and windows were closed, and there was still a glass of unfinished wine and a letter on the table." Yin Tianyi briefly checked the body of the NPC and turned around in the study where the body was found. Walking around, rubbing his chin, "So how did he die?"

"Could it be poisoning?" Jia Chang pointed to the white powder on the mouth of the wine bottle and said, "Under normal circumstances, would there be such a thing on the mouth of a wine bottle?"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.Perhaps the truth is that Master Louis died of poisoning.

At this time, Xiao Yeyi picked up the letter on the table and looked at it, "Is this a suicide note?"

Hearing this, the second and third children suddenly became excited and rushed forward.

Lin Jiashi excitedly said: "What is written on it? Has my father announced the heir? Is it me?"

Cheng Xingchen rolled his eyes: "Stop dreaming, how could Daddy leave the inheritance to you?"

Seeing that the two started acting again, Yin Tianyi looked disgusted, "Brother, don't play too much, now is the search part."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, the two shrugged, and then returned to normal.

Xiao Yeyi read it again and said: "The content of the suicide note is normal. It also said why I committed suicide."

As he spoke, he glanced at the two brothers again, "He has lung cancer."

"It's not normal at all. There is something that doesn't make sense here." Yin Tianyi took over the words, "Even if you are seriously ill, would most people choose to commit suicide on their own birthday? And it's still when there are so many guests at home."

Because he had died once, he knew clearly that this was impossible.If you really want to commit suicide, you should choose a place where there are no people.This will ensure that you will not be rescued.

"And..." Yin Tianyi said and looked at Deng Yang who was acting as the housekeeper, "The door of the study room was unlocked when you came up, right?"

Deng Yang nodded, "I knocked on the door and the master didn't respond, so I boldly opened the door. The door was unlocked. After I opened it, I found the master lying there. At first I thought he was just drunk and fell asleep. As a result ..."

Yin Tianyi said: "As I said just now, if you really want to commit suicide, you should lock the door. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that someone will open the door and come in when he commits suicide."

Ri Jiayang stepped forward to pick up the glass of wine and smelled it, "I agree with Xiao Yi's idea." Then he raised the bottle of wine on the table, "I really want to die, and enjoy drinking Cartel Winery so much before I die. dry red?"

Jia Chang: "What is Cartel Winery?"

"At the end of the seventeenth century, there was a legendary figure in the Bordeaux area of ​​country F, Cartel, who was honored as the "God of Victory" and "God of Wine" by the people in the Bordeaux area. The royal family specially established the Cartel winery for him. Wine reserved for the Earls of Cartel and the Royal Household."

Speaking of which, Ri Jiayang rolled his eyes and said with a smirk: "Madam, don't you also drink every day? How come you don't even know about this?"

He had been "bullyed" by Jia Chang when he got the role of maid before, but now that he finally managed to win back, Ri Jiayang looked very proud.

In order to salute Jia Chang, he hurriedly said: "Who says I don't know?" He said proudly with his hips on his hands, "I just want to test you."

Seeing him trying to save face, Ri Jiayang was smiling, as if I see through but don't tell.

"Don't be skinny. Time is running out, we have to find evidence to find the murderer."

Liang Hanmo began to take on the role of the old mother and began to prevent the bear children from quarreling, and then asked the members to search in groups.

Yin Tianyi, Jia Chang, Ri Jiayang and Xiao Yeyi investigated the room on the second floor.In addition to Louis' study and bedroom, there are three brothers' rooms on this floor.

Jia Chang asked, "Which one shall we go to first?"

Yin Tianyi said decisively: "Let's go to the room of the deceased Duke Louis first." Because this is not only the bedroom of the deceased, but also the bedroom of his stepmother Sarah.

Seeing that the remaining three people had no doubts, Yin Tianyi took the lead in pushing Duke Louis' room away.

This room is very in the European aristocratic style of the 17th century. The decoration inside is very luxurious, with all kinds of exquisite porcelain and decorations everywhere.There is also a glass wine cabinet in the corner of the room, which contains various famous wines. It can be seen that the owner is a person who likes to enjoy himself. Even if he has lung cancer, he will not give up drinking.

Jia Chang walked in in a hurry, opened the cabinet in the room and began to rummaging through the cabinet.

Seeing Jia Chang's actions like bandits entering the village, Ri Jiayang said, "I said Lao Jia, are you demolishing the house or looking for evidence?"

Jia Chang: "Time is running out, of course you have to act fast." He turned around and lifted the quilt cover on the bed.

Seeing this, Yin Tianyi said: "Pay attention to your skirt, it occupies such a large area, don't sweep away the evidence at that time."

Seeing that Jia Chang didn't turn his head back, he said, "They are all wearing women's clothes, why didn't you tell Ah Yi and Yang Yang about this?"

Yin Tianyi: "...Because they are not as rude as you."

Jia Chang shrugged irresolutely.

"What do you think this is?" Ri Jiayang was lying on the bottom of the bed, and took out a suitcase with difficulty. Inside the suitcase were well-preserved letters.

"The signature is Dear J, and the signature is S who loves you." Yin Tianyi took out a letter from the box, opened it, looked at the contents carefully, and came to a conclusion, "This is a love letter."

"Hiding so secretly, S is probably stepmother Sarah. As for who this J is?"

"Jacob?" Ri Jiayang said, "Jacob, it starts with J."

Hearing that, Jia Chang slapped his head, "No wonder, when I asked everyone about their alibi, the stepmother Sarah and the second master Jacob were together. It turns out that these two have been having an affair for a long time." As he spoke, he He gave Yin Tianyi a sympathetic look, "Your father is wearing a cuckold."

Yin Tianyi replied without changing his face: "Your father-in-law is also wearing a cuckold."

Xiao Yeyi: "...You two are not childish."

"Now we have found evidence that Mrs. Sarah and Jacob are having an affair. Therefore, the suspicion of these two people is a little bit bigger." After speaking, Ri Jiayang turned around and walked out of the room first: "There is nothing to see here, let's Let's go to the next place."

Seeing their teammates leave, Jia Chang and Xiao Yeyi quickly followed with their skirts in hand.Yin Tianyi wanted to leave, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar label.So Fu turned around and walked straight to the exquisite glass wine cabinet.

In the row of wine on the top row of neatly arranged glass wine cabinets, one bottle was missing in the corner.And that row of wines are all produced by Cartel Winery.

If Louis died of poisoning, excluding intravenous injection, the poison was either in the drink or in the food.

Thinking, he opened the wine cabinet and poked inside.A faint sweet smell rushed into the nostrils.He hurriedly reached out his hand to touch the cabinet, and what he touched were some tiny crumbs.He smelled it, and it was the smell of pastries for the guests at the banquet.

"Xiao Yi, what are you doing here? Hurry up!" At this moment, Jia Chang's voice came from the door.

"Oh, just come!" Yin Tianyi replied, and carefully closed the door of the wine cabinet.

The four of them then went to the third brother's house and walked around. The second brother's house was nothing special, there were some waste poems on the floor, and there was a glass of absinthe on the table.The third child's room was very messy, there was a woman's long hair on the bed, and an IOU was found on the floor of the room, which said that he had lost 1000 gold louis in gambling.

"Gold Louis is a currency that circulated in country F in the 17th century. It was the currency with the largest denomination at that time. 1 Golden Louis is equivalent to 20 francs, which is equal to 400 sous or 25 pistoles. A horse is worth 100 pistoles Well, it’s equivalent to four louis d’Or, and now it’s equivalent to a BMW X4.” The director team was afraid that they would not understand, so they explained the face value of the currency.

"That is to say, he lost 250 BMW X5s in a gamble?" Hearing this, the four of them couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Jia Chang sighed, "He's really a prodigal."

"So the third child also had a motive for killing. He killed his father and wanted to take the property as his own to pay off the debt."

Xiao Yeyi said again: "If this is the case, then the remaining two of the three brothers will be in danger. Kill the two brothers, and no one will fight for property."

"wrong."

Yin Tianyi said again: "Not only two elder brothers, but also an uncle and a stepmother. If the third child is the murderer, these two people may also be killed."

"That's right." Xiao Yeyi nodded, "But it's just our speculation that the third child is the murderer. Let's go and look in other rooms, maybe we can find other clues."

With that said, a group of people came to the last room on the second floor - the room of the boss Yin Tianyi.

Because Edward is a doctor, there are many medical books in his room.In addition, there is a small laboratory in his room, which contains various drugs and many specimens.The moment they walked in, the four of them couldn't help being startled.

After the shock, Ri Jiayang began to tease Jia Chang again: "I said Mrs. Emma, ​​don't you feel terrified when you sleep with your husband every day?"

Jia Chang was not to be outdone: "If you're curious, don't you know if you slept here for one night?"

Ri Jiayang rubbed his chin and smiled, "You said that, you encouraged me to poach your 'husband''s corner."

Hearing that Jia Chang immediately took the lead, he followed his words and began to perform, "You shameless woman, you actually seduced my husband!"

Yin Tianyi: "..."

"Calm down for a while." Xiao Yeyi couldn't stand it anymore.As he spoke, he ignored the two actors and went straight to search for evidence.

Edward's house is just like him, rigorous, calm, meticulous and even has a serious cleanliness.

The bed in his bedroom was neatly made without a single crease.The ground is also clean, and the things in the room are neatly arranged.Even more so with lab stuff.

The experimental table is full of various instruments and large and small bottles and jars, and the items are arranged in an orderly manner.

Xiao Yeyi found a medicine box on a shelf in the laboratory.When I opened it, I saw that there were various medicines and bags with syringes inside.Syringes are neatly stacked inside.Yin Tianyi saw sharply that a syringe was missing from the innermost part of the bag.

Seeing this, he couldn't help frowning.With Edward's almost obsessive-compulsive personality, how could he allow one less syringe in the bag?

Thinking about it, Yin Tianyi's heart sank.Could it be that he is the real murderer?As a doctor, Edward has the best access to medicines and poisons, and it is not impossible to poison people.

But the next second he denied this guess.The director team asked everyone to draw a character card, and it was one of those things that it didn't say that Edward was the murderer.Second, Edward was helping to receive guests in the banquet hall at the time of the incident, and couldn't leave at all.

Then he shifted his gaze to the experimental console beside him.There are strange medicines there.I saw an inconspicuous brown glass vial on the corner of the table.The cap of the vial was not tightly closed, and a little white powder was sprinkled on the table.When he was about to pick up the things, Xiao Yeyi took a step ahead.

"As2O3?" He looked at the label on the bottle. "What is this?"

Director group: "□□, commonly known as □□."

Hearing that, Xiao Yeyi almost lost the bottle in his hand, looked at the director team and asked in a trembling voice: "This thing is not real, right?"

As for the others, they couldn't help but turn their heads and cast their eyes on Yin Tianyi.

Looking at the suspicious eyes of the people around him, Yin Tianyi quickly shook his head and denied, "It's not me."

Ri Jiayang narrowed his eyes, "We haven't said anything yet, why are you so guilty?"

Jia Chang: "Yes."

Xiao Yeyi: "An explanation is a cover-up."

Yin Tianyi: "..."

He's clearly justifying himself.

Silently complained, at this time he already had an idea in his heart.Eighty percent of the time someone framed him.

In terms of murder motives, all three sons have.When the father dies, the family property can be divided.The stepmother and Uncle Jacob also had an affair. If Louis found out, they would probably kill them to silence them.At present, the entire Louis family is under suspicion.The rest are the guests and servants.Because everyone has not been investigated, it is not yet possible to jump to conclusions.

Yin Tianyi calmly said: "There are still rooms on the first floor that we haven't checked. Let's check all the places first before drawing conclusions."

The first floor is divided into two parts, one is the kitchen and the servants' quarters, and the other is the lounge for the guests on the day of the birthday dinner.

The guest's lounge was nothing special, the housemaid Alice's room was nothing special, and neither was the butler's room.The only thing that worries Yin Tianyi is the house of the chef Bo Nuo.

He found a box in his bedside table containing a pink hair bow.

How could there be such a thing in the house of a middle-aged man like Bo Nuo?The information doesn't say that he is married or has a daughter. Whose thing is this thing?

In addition, he also found an unintelligible note in the wall clock in Bono's house.There are a few letters and a serial number marked on it, with a red cross behind the serial number.

What does this thing mean?

Yin Tianyi silently put away the note while his teammates were searching for other places.

After the first round of search was over, everyone had more or less doubts in their minds.

Yin Tianyi raised his hand: "Let me declare first, the murderer is definitely not me."

"Although there are meth in my house, you have also seen that the lid was not closed properly, and the powder inside was spilled. You think that a clean-minded person like Edward would leave such an obvious loophole. ?"

Hearing this, the members lowered their heads thoughtfully.It does sound reasonable.

"Now start voting."

Although many people had motives for killing, due to the limited evidence found in this round, everyone first voted for Mrs. Sarah who had an affair with Jacob - Dou Junyuan.

Although Dou Junyuan kept yelling that he was not the real murderer, no one paid any attention to him.

It wasn't until the director team said "the real culprit is not him" that he was able to wash away his grievances.

Dou Junyuan felt aggrieved: "I've said it all, I didn't do it. It's all right now. People will continue to die in the next round."

Not long afterward, as he put it, another person "died".

This time it was the youngest Claude who died.

Like Louis' death, his fake body was sprawled over a table in his room.There was no trauma on his body, and there was still a glass of his favorite wine on the table.

Jia Chang sighed: "Well, I suspected that the third child was the murderer before. Now it proves that I was wrong."

"If the third child is not the murderer, then who is the murderer?" Ri Jiayang tugged at his hair in pain, "My God, I feel like my hair is going to fall out."

Liang Hanmo said: "If it doesn't work, let's cast the most suspected people in order."

Hearing this, Yin Tianyi glanced at him, "Let's search it first and then talk about it."

The second round of search was still in the same order as the previous search.

During the search, Jia Chang poked him quietly, and asked in a low voice, "You can't really be the murderer, can you?"

Yin Tianyi: "..."

This kid, he didn't know what to say about him.

Has anyone ever asked that directly?Regardless of whether he is the real murderer or not, even if he is, it is impossible for others to say!

Yin Tianyi couldn't help flipping a big hygiene ball, "What do you think?"

"I don't think so." Jia Chang said with a serious face: "I believe that it is impossible for your character to do such a thing."

Yin Tianyi: "..."

Although I am very grateful that you believe in me so much, can you not put your understanding of me into the game?It's really easy to die like you!

Yin Tianyi opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say what he said, but simply replied: "It's not me."

But when Jia Chang saw his hesitation to speak, he mistakenly thought that Yin Tianyi was moved to the point of crying, so he hurried forward and gave him a big hug.

"Don't be too moved. As a brother, you still need such a little trust."

Yin Tianyi: "..."

Who is moved!Don't play any more, bro?

Seeing that it was strange that he didn't say a word, Jia Chang asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing."

Looking at the two lumps of blush on his cheeks, Yin Tianyi turned his head unnaturally, "Turn your face away, your outfit is going to make me cry."

Jia Chang: "..."

What about the promised brotherhood with tears in our eyes?

Just as Jia Chang squatted aside and thought about drawing circles, Ri Jiayang behind him exclaimed: "Wow, there is so much food in the kitchen."

I saw him open the kitchen cabinet, and there was a lot of biscuits, even macarons and donuts inside.

Ri Jiayang took one, took a bite, and ate happily.While eating, he said: "I've been playing games and I'm so hungry, I didn't expect there to be food here. The director team is too unkind, and they won't tell us about this."

Jia Chang said: "Aren't you worried about being poisonous? What if this thing is a murder weapon?"

Ri Jiayang waved his hand, "How is it possible? I think this is the reward given to us by the director team."

"Who says it's impossible?" Jia Chang folded his arms to scare him, "Louis and the third child both died of poisoning. Although we guessed that the poison was in the wine, what if it was in the food?"

Hearing this, Ri Jiayang almost choked with fright, and quickly stopped talking.

"It can't be true, right?" He widened his eyes, "Could it be that I just ate the poisonous bread by mistake and then died in the game?"

Director: "..."

Even if the wall is not convinced, I will obey your imagination.Why don't you become a screenwriter with such a big brain?

Seeing that the brains of the two were getting bigger and bigger, the director team on the side quickly came out to refute the rumors: "It's not poisonous. Eat with confidence."

Ri Jiayang, who got the guarantee from the director's team, put several donuts in the cabinet one after another, then turned to look at the others, "Don't stand still. If you want to eat, come and get it, you're welcome."

Director: "..."

Who the hell are you welcome?

Ignoring the foodie teammates on the side, Yin Tianyi found a small cloth bag in the fireplace in the kitchen.When I opened the contents, it turned out to be a small medicine bottle and a syringe.Unscrew the cap of the bottle, there is white powder inside.

Yin Tianyi squeezed the evidence in his hand, smiled slightly, "I know who the real culprit is."

The second voting meeting began, and the remaining 9 people sat around the round table.

"Xiao Yi, you just said that you know who the real culprit is, is that true?" Jia Chang asked curiously.

Yin Tianyi took out the small cloth bag he had just found in the kitchen, as well as the bowknot and note he found in the chef Bono's room.

"Explain, chef, why are these things in the kitchen fireplace. And whose bow is this? What is written on the note?"

Liang Hanmo looked surprised, "This... I really don't know. I've never seen these things before."

"Have you never seen this bow? I found it in the nightstand in your room."

The head chef, Liang Hanmo, hurriedly said, "The bow is mine, I have never seen anything else."

As if afraid that they wouldn't believe it, he said again: "I've only been working here for less than a year. I really didn't know there was this note hidden in the wall clock in the room."

Hearing that, a strange color flashed in Yin Tianyi's eyes, and he returned to normal again.

Then he asked, "Whose bow is this?"

"It's my... my dead daughter's relic."

"You still have a daughter?" The others expressed their surprise.

Liang Hanmo replied according to the plot: "My daughter died of illness two years ago. If she is still alive, she should be about the same age as Alice now."

Yin Tianyi squinted his eyes, "Let's not say whether you recognize these things or not. Let me explain what these things are first."

"Six letters are written on this note: C, E, F, J, L, S, and it is also marked with a serial number."

"It doesn't look like much at first glance, but on closer inspection these letters are the initials of everyone in our family. Claude, Edward, Emma, ​​Fehlmann, Jacques Jacob, Louis, Sarah."

"and……"

He paused, "The front of the letter L on the note is still marked with the serial number 1, and there is a red cross on it. Now father Louis is dead."

"Is this really just a coincidence?"

Yin Tianyi looked at the head chef, and his voice became lower and lower: "To be honest, who are you? What is your purpose here? Did you kill this person?"

Liang Hanmo still denied it: "I was really wronged."

The other members, Liang Hanmo, looked innocent and wronged, and also felt suspicious, so they wondered if they had misunderstood, so they persuaded Yin Tianyi one after another.

"Xiao Yi, did you make a mistake? I think the head chef should be the one who has the least motive for killing people."

"Is he wronged? I don't think so."

Yin Tianyi said: "I didn't say where I found this note just now."

"If he really didn't know, how did he know that the note was found in the wall clock in his room?"
