~： The fifth year story 116, the devil’s fishing rod

The quiet snow continuously creates various shapes outside the window, changing various fantastic scenery.

The hail that started last night no longer slapped the windows, releasing the anger of this winter day.

Everything seems to have returned to the most peaceful and peaceful world...

No blood, no killing intent.

Only the purest and most precious...

Pure white.

"You didn't resist."

Diane opened his eyes and looked at the idiot who was sitting on the sofa and closing his eyes to keep in good health.

"Faced with this kind of sudden injustice, you did not resist or argue at all. In other words, this is the'injustice' you asked for? Hehe, human boy, are you brave."

".................."

"Well~~~ I know where your confidence comes from. As a nobleman, as the son of the earl, these civilians really don’t dare to do anything to you. So you don’t bother to tell if you are a murderer, because even if you are If you are wronged, they won't do anything to you."

".................."

"On the other hand, in the current situation, you really lack proof that you are not a murderer. In a room that will not open, you are holding a dagger and standing in a **** Next to the corpse. Whoever sees it will think you are a murderer~~~ Moreover, you stabbed yourself. But having said that, you are also used to killing. Slaughtering a person is not a big deal to you."

".................."

"You have no evidence to prove your'weird' behavior when you suddenly visited Viscount Wang last night. For the safety of that little girl, I don't think you dare to show the letter to everyone. Then, the problem is here."

".................."

"You are under house arrest now. Although you can easily break through the door, it will increase the suspicion that you are a murderer. In this case, it is more difficult to investigate the truth of the matter. Then, you Why do you want to do this? In such a situation, when do you want to sit here?"

"………………………………I'm waiting."

Outside the window, the blizzard suddenly became fierce again.

"Wait......Next, death."

Those black pupils covered by eyelids once again radiated the gloom that swallowed everything...

"Wait? Hehe, interesting. What do you mean."

"...With the current information, I cannot tell who the murderer is. I cannot tell who is anonymous. In that case, I might as well let the murderer make a choice for me."

"Oh?"

"Now, everyone has decided that I am the murderer. They locked me up. So tonight, their defense must be the most relaxed night. This night is precisely the murderer's favorite night."

"You mean...someone will die tonight? What does that have to do with choosing who is anonymous?"

"Related. Of the remaining eight people, at least two people know that I am definitely not a murderer. One of them is the murderer himself, and the other is an anonymous person. I believe that an anonymous person will never be an old bald person, that should be. A more cautious person. The other party has already thrown everything to me. There is no reason for the cautious counterparty to run to the infected patient's room on this kind of night. Viscount Wang who doesn't trust anyone, even if it is My son and wife did not come out to take a look, and of course there was no reason to let him in. Therefore, this person should be very careful with his head covered and fell asleep last night. He didn't come out of the room until I made a noise. ."

"Hahaha."

"Therefore, Anonymous will never relax the slightest because I am under house arrest tonight. On the contrary, they should be more guarded and more vigilant. If a murderer wants to attack Anonymous, it must be more difficult."

"Hehe...hehehe. I suddenly felt that I understood what you meant."

".................. So, there will be at least one person who is lax in defense dying tonight. In addition to proving my innocence, this person's death can also eliminate a place for me. If two people die tonight, Two can be eliminated. When three are dead, three are eliminated. Finding the anonymous person among seven, six, or even five people is much easier than finding eight people."

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting!"

"On the other hand, if I fight for reasons and get myself acquitted of the murderer. Then these eight people will be on guard again. Even if someone else will die, I cannot guarantee that the person who died will be anonymous. In order to prevent the anonymous person from being killed first, I must analyze it in a very limited time and in a very limited intelligence, and find the murderer. At present, this is unlikely."

"Hahahahaha! Yes, yes! And, you don’t like this feeling of being completely exploited, right? Even if you can find out who the murderer is without dying anyone in this limited time , But among the remaining 7 people, you still don’t know who the anonymous person is. Whether that little girl will return to you or not depends entirely on the anonymous person’s mood. If the other person feels upset, I will ask you to do this again. Isn’t it terrible? So, you simply chose this plan and just wait for work! What’s more interesting is that the anonymous person can’t say that you are lazy. Hahaha, hahahahahaha!"

"………………………………"

"Interesting, it's so interesting! Human kid, if you change to someone else, I'm afraid they will take the lead in catching the murderer as the primary goal. And in this feast of death, thinking of using those lambs is completely irrelevant to their life and death. The arrester who cares and even makes use of it is probably only you in history. Well, I like this and admire it! It seems that caring for that little girl is not all your weakness, Sometimes it's your strong point~~! I like it very much!"

"……………………"

"So now, what should we do? Just wait until a certain survivor opens the door with a bitter face tomorrow morning? Anyway, idleness is also idleness. Let's analyze the information we have obtained first."

"………………Ok."

"First of all, including your little girl, there are a total of three people in sequence according to a certain prophecy... um... hehe, you know the meaning."

"The first person lost the way... The second person separated their bodies... Although the third person didn't say anything, judging from the deliberate hoisting situation, it should be correct..."

"That girl of you won't talk about it for now, let's talk about the second one, the lady who used her body to draw pictures that made me so fascinated. According to Mrs. Foey's words the next day, she was at 7 in the morning: 45 woke up, and then arrived at the door of Mrs. Suili's room. It should be around 8 o'clock. Smell of blood, I went to Old Bald to open the door and saw the body inside."

"......In other words, the door was locked at that time. And her room was on the third floor, facing the lake."

"Hehe, I can't say it's a secret room~~~Because you didn't want to manage after this, you didn't check the door, windows, etc. You didn't check where the key is. The rooms here seem to have two locks. Once the door bolt is fastened from the inside, even if someone outside has the key, the door cannot be opened. At that time, Madame Foy and Old Bale opened the door. It can be seen that the inside of the room is not locked, so it cannot be said to be a secret room."

"Except for the **** and shocking scene of the first murder, there is nothing too weird about it."

"Oh? You admitted that the first thing was **** and shocked? Oh, oh, I thought you were not surprised at all."

".................."

"Fine, you say, you say."

"The crux of the problem lies in the second murder."

"Hehe, the old male servant was hung from the beam of the room, which is really exciting~~~"

"Why would this man appear in Viscount Wang's room? Why was he killed? Judging from the wound on his chest, he should have been stabbed with a sharp weapon. In that case, why did the murderer bother to hang him? Get up? Is it just to imitate the throat being locked in the prophecy? In addition, the most critical point is, where did Viscount Wang who should have been in the room go? All of this seems to be the same as what he has in his hands. The secret treasure you have is related. So, what secret treasure is that? Is there any connection between this secret treasure and the plague that occurred in Nanqius Town?"

"………………………………"

"Hahaha, there are many puzzles. It's a pity that you could check the scene and make a judgment at the first time. But in the first incident, you gave up because it didn't matter to you. The second incident just happened, you I was imprisoned here because of suspicion of homicide, and I couldn’t get close to the scene with one step. But that’s right, as you said just now, you care more about catching anonymous people than catching the murderer. After all, the lives of all the people here are no better. That little girl’s hair, right?"

At this moment, the idiot finally opened his eyes. He raised his left hand, and on this arm, a blue ribbon circled it. And these pupils, which originally contained infinite cold and darkness, exuded a bit of tenderness while looking at this ribbon...
