“An acrostic poem.”
Why did she always feel that it wasn’t that simple?
Seeing her solemn expression, Li Mengmeng’s expression also became serious.
That evening, a strong wind blew outside, followed by heavy rain, with lightning and thunder. Everyone sat in the dining room, eating roasted whole lamb, watching the lightning and thunder outside.
“Tsk, tsk, this wind and rain are really fierce.”
“With such strong winds, will we be alright on the island?” Gongsun Mingyue asked worriedly.
Butler Sen said, “Please don’t worry, everyone. As long as you stay inside the castle and don’t go out, you’ll be fine.”
Teacher Yan Jin said, “This castle has stood on the island for hundreds of years, so it must have withstood countless storms. The fact that it’s still so well-preserved shows how exceptionally sturdy it is. Just as Butler Sen said, as long as we stay inside, we’ll be safe.”
After hearing Yan Jin’s analysis, everyone felt relieved.
After dinner, there was no signal on the island, no television to watch, and mobile phones couldn’t be used properly.
“How boring! Is there anywhere we can go for a walk?” Asked the thug Feng Qing.
“Yes. There’s a ballroom, an indoor shooting range, a library, a swimming pool, and a gym inside. If you’d like to go, Ah Hua can take you.” Butler Sen said.
“Take me to the shooting range.” Feng Qing said enthusiastically.
“Oh, there’s also an indoor swimming pool!” Gongsun Mingyue exclaimed as if she’d discovered something amazing.
“Perfect! I brought my swimsuit.”
Then, Gongsun Mingyue looked at Bei Yutang and Li Mengmeng, “Ladies, would you like to go swimming together?”
Li Mengmeng was clearly interested, but she didn’t speak, instead looking at Bei Yutang.
Bei Yutang smiled and declined, “No, I’m not interested in swimming.”
Gongsun Mingyue looked regretful: “That’s a real pity. Little beauty, are you interested?”
Li Mengmeng hesitated for a moment and then nodded, “Okay.”
The group dispersed.
Bei Yutang returned to her room, writing down each person’s identity on a piece of white paper, her mind replaying the scene in Ke Hongyu’s room.
Why did this murderer kill Ke Hongyu?
What was the motive?
How did he drain all the blood from Ke Hongyu’s body?
There wasn’t a trace of blood in the room, nor a single drop. This could only be achieved if the room wasn’t the primary crime scene.
The murderer must have murdered Ke Hongyu elsewhere, then moved his body back to the room, creating a locked-room murder.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me.” Ah Hua’s voice came from outside.
Bei Yutang stood up, opened the door, and saw Ah Hua carrying a tray with a glass of milk on it.
“Miss Bei, Butler Sen asked me to bring you a glass of milk so everyone can have a good night’s sleep.”
Bei Yutang stepped aside to let Ah Hua into the room.
Ah Hua put down the milk and had just stepped out of the room when she heard Bei Yutang’s voice behind her.
“Ah Hua, I’d like to go to the library.”
Ah Hua stopped and turned to look at Bei Yutang.
“Miss Bei, would you like to go now?”
“Now.”
“Please follow me.”
Ah Hua led the way, and Bei Yutang followed behind her. The two of them went up to the third floor.
As they appeared on the third floor, the wall lamps in the corridor instantly turned on, illuminating the entire corridor in an instant.
