Blood Candle Keep Disciple

Chapter 10 Confessions of the Dead
Ten minutes later, an old man with a kind face opened the front door and entered the mansion.When he was walking, his cane thumped against the ground, coupled with a slightly limp gait, the lightness and heavyness of his left and right feet and the cane formed a wonderful rhythm of three pairs of four uniform indentations.

The old man looked at the decoration of the hall as quickly as Zhen Cheng had just entered the room, then immediately frowned and turned his eyes to the left side of the first floor.

Although his sense of age was far less than his peak, such a strong chemical smell still made Detective Ipranus, who was over the years, immediately judged an abnormal orientation.

He couldn't ignore the abnormality in front of him, and followed the smell to find it.

The source of the odor comes from the kitchen.Before opening the door, he heard the girl's brisk humming.

Then, he saw his competitor, the famous detective girl, in a kitchen twice the size of an ordinary person's entire home, cooking something difficult in a large Indian curry pot that a child could jump into to bathe. Named stuff.

"What are you cooking?" the old detective asked, twitching the corners of his mouth.At the same time he hit the ground hard with his stick to get the girl's attention.

Zhen Cheng turned his head to the side and smiled politely as if he was greeted by a neighbor while cooking breakfast on a sunny morning: "It's Mr. Epirens, I'm cooking... [victim]."

The old detective trembled when he heard the words and almost fell, and all kinds of strange and eccentric thoughts came to his mind.Speaking of [the victim], isn't it you?Am I misremembering the order of identities?Besides, it's just a game!Don't say it calmly as if you've just completed a murder and are processing evidence!
wait, the evidence...

Just as the old detective had a bad feeling in his mind, Zhen Cheng smiled apologetically, and explained again: "Speaking like this may confuse you. In fact, what I'm talking about is that the organizer of the game wants to let you Critical evidence left by who is the murderer.

She was originally a very realistic silicone doll, and she was made very much like me.In order to prevent you from distinguishing the position of your characters, I have to reluctantly destroy this artwork completely.You see, if it's just heating, it won't make her limbs melt to the point where you can't tell the traces, so we have to use an open flame here..."

Having said that, she proudly showed her "cooking skills" to the old detective.

The old detective couldn't hold on suddenly, and collapsed tremblingly on the bench by the kitchen door. With trembling hands, he took out the pill from his pocket and put it in his mouth.

Five minutes later, the old Mr. Epilens, who finally came to his senses, looked at the girl by the fire with a complicated expression and began to clean up the pot of chemicals that would never leave any clues.

At this moment, his heart was actually very troubled.I still feel like a good child when I eat, and I have never heard of her being so crazy...

Is Zhen Cheng really crazy?Well, she will frankly admit that she is by no means an existence that normal people's reason can tolerate.But in any case, she was never to the point where she acted illogically and needed to be put in a lunatic asylum.

In fact, just like Detective Epilenus had already judged her, Zhen Cheng had already begun to recall the details of most of the contestants in his heart when he first saw the rest of the contestants at the dinner party.

Among the six contestants who participated in the game, except for the last silver-haired girl who was not much older than herself and looked mysterious, the other five had more or less recalled some of their roots when they met each other for the first time at the banquet.

Well, that's right, the last one is who you think.It was only a week ago that Zhen Cheng didn't know that she was a classmate who had chosen the same criminal investigation course as him.I didn't even have the impression of this person in my mind, I always thought that today's dinner was the first time I met this person.

As for the fact ... Who knows?
The rest... everyone is a top celebrity in the same industry. Even if they didn't investigate each other in a targeted manner, some public information has already been unknowingly memorized in their minds.

Epirenian detective, a legendary explorer, archaeologist, and great detective.He is good at observing, and by virtue of this trait, he has solved the secrets of the ancient monuments that have been ignored by his predecessors many times in his early adventurous career, and then almost survived.

At the same time, the years of adventure have also left traces of the old man.This made him have to choose to retire at the age of 45 to become a full-time detective who mainly provided written advice to people. It made him suffer from knee joints that made it difficult to run, rheumatism that had to rely on crutches to walk, and heart disease that was not optimistic.

"You know I have a heart attack," the old detective said calmly and slightly self-deprecatingly after finally regaining his strength, "You mobilized my emotions accurately with your skillful answer. You want me to be overwhelmed by the sudden stimulation." It doesn't matter if you faint or die, as long as you can quit the game because of it,"

With that, he clapped lightly with his fingers tucked into the cane handle: "In my long career, there have been countless people who have tried to kick me out of the game or put me to death. I have to say, you are the most successful of them all. One. Quiet, no handle, amazing attempt.

To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine that apart from the elite education and active detective work at Santa Matar Academy, you can still find time to learn about practitioners in fields related to your interests to this extent. "

Epirens hid his sharp and scrutinizing eyes under the pressure of his silent words.In any case, it was difficult for him to accept that such a young girl in front of him could devise the kind of deep and effective calculation that he had guessed in his mind in a time-critical game.

His eyes swept over Zhen Cheng's face, but he only saw sunshine, happiness, and full of vigor.In any case, there was no trace of deep thought to be found, which made him frown deeply, almost impossible to hide.

"The situation of the St. Martal Academy is probably different from what you imagined. In fact, we have no necessary courses and heavy academic pressure at all. All students can choose piano, equestrian, and even shooting, fighting, fighting, so Courses that help various specific industries.

Mr. Epilens, I am only 16 years old this year, no matter what I have done, I am just a junior in the industry.In terms of speaking skills, I am very aware of my immaturity.But even such shallow means can be tricked by such an experienced senior...

I'm curious, what makes you, who already possesses fame, wealth, and wisdom beyond the reach of most people in a lifetime, be so obsessed with this 'game'? "

After his purpose was exposed, Zhen Cheng showed the demeanor and respect that a nobleman should have without blushing, as if he was not the one who was viciously trying to put his opponent to death just now.At the same time, the question is thrown back to the other party at the same time.

The old man smiled and knocked on the floor with his cane, and stood up reluctantly: "It's just a desire that any ordinary person would have that you can't understand at your age. I have so many things that are worth pursuing in your opinion, you Do you think I would lose them?

I don't care about the power that comes with being a superhuman.All I want is a correspondingly extended life.No matter how much you know about that world, I think you've seen the organizer's promotional materials? "

Speaking of this, the old man calmly changed the conversation: "Girl, as a detective, you still have a lot to learn. When you try to influence others to achieve your goals, you will inevitably reveal your own. flaw.

You gave up hiding yourself and had to destroy key evidence before I entered the arena, and then you kept using dialogue to delay time because you have confirmed that I am the character who should kill you in history! "

With the last sentence, his voice suddenly grew louder, and his cane dashed to the ground.This makes people feel a kind of psychological shock that the secret can't be hidden in their hearts, and produces a momentary shake that can't be concealed.

"Well, the evidence you want."

What was more unexpected than the long-planned psychological torture of Epirens was Zhen Cheng's calm response.As if she didn't feel the change in the old man's aura, she picked out a lump that still had some human features from the cauldron that had begun to cool, like a melted wax figure.

The old detective clutched his chest violently and almost fell back on the bench again.
