Chapter 171 The Knife-Holding Man
"Antique? Is it worth it?"

While the doctor While examining the corpse, he asked casually, and Shade, who was checking the surrounding blood, also listened. The rain was so loud that the three people’s voices of communication had to be raised.

Silver cutlery is still a status symbol in this era. In adventure novels, maids often run away with their lovers, taking away the master's silver cutlery in exchange for travel and living expenses. If the silver tableware is still antique, it is even more valuable.

"Very valuable. Even if a noble of the rank of count owns these two sets of silver tableware, they can be used as family heirlooms."

Ms. Luisa once again demonstrated her mastery The "useless knowledge" of , is likely to be learned from another Princess.

Shade turned his head and asked:

"That's weird, the doctor's investigation didn't say that the factory owner just held Tobesque's property for [Mercury Blood]. Agent? He shouldn't be wealthy."

Then he looked suspiciously towards the boy's corpse, and he inferred:
"Could it be?"

"It's hard to say for now, keep walking."

The doctor restored the body to its original position, whispered a prayer for the boy amid the sound of rain hitting the glass, and signaled that the other two could leave.

After leaving the kitchen, the bloodstain turned back to the living room, and then walked towards the stairs.

On the stairs is a very cruel scene, the bodies of the Old Lady and the middle-aged housewife are hugged together. The viscous blood dripped down the carpet on the stairs, making it almost impossible for the three of them to find a place to stay.

Mr. Schneider found that the two had no obvious external wounds, and the blood seemed to come from their mouths.

"It's a bit like a curse."

Miss Luisa judged that the doctor was nodded:

"I also think it's a curse caused by Mystic Art. Enter the door. He killed the maid with a knife, then walked into the kitchen to kill the little boy, and when he turned back to the living room, he encountered two ladies who came down the stairs, and immediately used a spell or Mystic Art to make them vomit blood and die. The murderer was Huan Warlock. There is no need to doubt it at all."

Shade looked towards the surroundings vigilantly, preventing something from rushing out in the dark, and was startled by the sound of thunder again:
"If there is any abnormality, Remember to remind me in time."

He whispered in his heart.

[No problem. ]

The murmured voice replied.

Probably because of the excessive bleeding from the two corpses, the murderer finally got blood on his boots here. The bloodstain was very light, and still had to rely on Shade's eyes to distinguish. The blood on the boots only went upstairs, not downstairs.

The two people who examined the corpse made new discoveries. In the middle-aged housewife's neck, the doctor found a string of pearl necklaces. According to Miss Luysha's on-the-spot estimate, the necklace was worth at least £3,000.

“This is definitely not jewelry that the factory owner can afford,” said Shade, and the three continued their walk upstairs.

No one suggested to take the pearl necklace or the silver cutlery just now. They were neither robbers nor thieves. Although breaking into the crime scene on this rainy night destroyed the clues, doctors, writers, and foreigners all had own bottom line.

The sound of rain covered the sound of footsteps, and the three of them came to the second floor. The blood stains extended to the interior of the floor, and a 16-year-old girl with freckles fell on her back in the middle of the corridor. She looked very similar to the middle-aged housewife on the stairs, and the cause of death was the same as the maid at the door. She was directly pierced by a sharp blade.

Shade didn't know what to say about this cruel scene. After the doctor checked, one-knee kneels prayed for her beside the corpse. Only then did Shade know that Dr. Bill Schneider believed in the righteous god [all things]. Lord], that is, the [God of Nature and Evil Thought].

This righteous god's vocation includes "death". When Shade first came to this world, the corpse carrier who carried away Detective Sparrow's body had the holy emblem of this righteous god.

Miss Luyisa is already suppressing her anger:

"This is too cruel, who did this kind of thing?"

If They can find the murderer, and Goldilocks will probably never show mercy.

In the sound of the increasingly violent rain outside, a group of three people followed the silver moon rays of light at Shade's fingertips and entered the three bedrooms on the second floor one after another. The murderer seemed to be looking for something, but his footsteps did not. No sign of staying.

Then bloodstains led them to the third floor, the topmost floor of the house except for the attic. The window on the third floor facing the stairway was actually open, and the rainwater blew into the corridor along the wind, and the wind blew the curtains constantly. This scene was especially strange on this rainy summer night.

"The bloodstain extends down the hallway, but another bloodstain extends out and disappears near the window."

Shade provides what he saw.

"After entering the third floor, the murderer did something inside, and then left through the window?"

Miss Luyisa inferred from behind Shade, after entering the house , although there was no prior consultation, the doctor was always by Shade's side, and the female writer walked last.

The doctor cautiously approached the window and looked out. It was pitch black on a rainy night, and even the lights from the nearby neighborhood couldn't penetrate the rain screen. Such heavy rain would wash away the blood, and Shade couldn't continue tracking from the window.

"Go to the third floor first and see what he's doing."

The doctor said, frowned glanced at the windowsill, and winked at Miss Luisa . Miss Luysha immediately understood what he meant, so she wanted to wink at Shade, but didn't expect Shade to show the expression "It turned out to be this kind of trick".

Goldilocks smiled at him, the killer apparently underestimating what Shade's "eyes" could see.

Following the bloodstains into the third floor, after turning into the study, I finally found the body of the male owner, Mr. Ponton, who ran a screw factory.

The gas lamp on the study wall was off, but the gas lamp on the table was on, just illuminating the body.

Mr. Ponton, wearing a loose-fitting home shirt, sat on the table behind his desk. Shade stood at the door of the study, Miss Luyisa went to check the pages on the table, and the doctor checked the corpse:
"The cause of death is different from the cause of death downstairs, it should be that the brain was shattered by the spell [brain smash], I noticed the traces on his forehead. This kind of spell is very famous with a principle similar to [corpse explosion]. In this way, unless you are psychic, no one will want to know what is in the head of the dead. What is on the table? "

"Ledger."

Miss Luisa said.

Raindrops hit the window, thunder rumbled overhead, and Shade at the door looked sharply towards the other side of the corridor:
"I think I saw a silhouette!"

"Silhouette? Be careful, don't be impulsive."

The doctor frowned went to the door of the study, and wanted to go with Shade to the end of the corridor to have a look, while Miss Luisa continued to look down at the documents on the desktop.

Lightning swept across the sky, and in the interval before the thunder came, in the study illuminated by lightning, a silhouette of a man holding a short blade quietly appeared in Luyi. behind Miss Sha.

He raised a sharp short blade towards the female writer's back.
