Yan Jin shook his head: “No, the murderer must be among us. The person is just very cunning, making it impossible for us to catch him/her.”
Bei Yutang nodded: “From Ke Hongyu’s room and the arrangement of the scene by Old Mr. Huang, it’s clear the murderer was meticulous, had a sophisticated plan, and strong counter-surveillance capabilities. The murderer must have considered an alibi. He/she certainly wouldn’t make such an obvious mistake.”
“The murderer we’re facing is more formidable than we imagined.”
Everyone’s hearts sank, their expressions becoming grave.
Old Mr. Huang’s death cast another shadow over the ancient castle.
Outside, lightning flashed, and thunder roared; a violent storm raged. Then everyone inside returned to their rooms. Bei Yutang didn’t go back to her room but went up to the third floor.
After she went upstairs, a man emerged from around the corner. His gaze was fixed on the direction Bei Yutang had disappeared in, a glint of something sinister flashing in his dark eyes.
Bei Yutang used the key she had obtained from Ah Hua to open the door to the library.
This time, she didn’t turn her gaze to the books on mystery and deduction, but instead looked at the books on medicine and chemistry. She wanted to see if she could find a method for quickly draining blood in these books.
Although she knew that the chances were slim, it was better than sitting and waiting.
Suddenly, the library door opened again. Bei Yutang looked up abruptly and saw a tall, slender figure walk in.
“Miss Bei, you’re here too.”
“Dr. Zhang.” Bei Yutang greeted him with a smile.
Dr. Zhang glanced at the bookshelves and exclaimed in amazement, “The collection here is comparable to a library!”
“Indeed.”
Dr. Zhang began searching the shelves, and soon, his exclamations of surprise echoed.
“Holden’s ‘Studies in Human Genetics’, ‘Human Genetics’…” Dr. Zhang kept exclaiming in amazement.
“My God, I’ve actually found so many rare books here. There are even forbidden books stored here.”
Bei Yutang didn’t know how important those books were, or how attractive they were to researchers, but from Dr. Zhang’s reaction, she could tell that the owner of this ancient castle possessed profound knowledge and resources.
In the Southern Tang Kingdom, their Bei family is a hereditary marquisate, with a history spanning over a hundred years. Their foundation is far stronger than that of ordinary newly rich families, granting them access to many secrets inaccessible to others.
She had never paid attention to these secrets, but she had a general idea of them.
Seeing Dr. Zhang’s excited expression, it was clear that the items here were very attractive to him.
Dr. Zhang picked out a stack of books and glanced at the ones beside Bei Yutang.
“What’s this?”
Bei Yutang looked at the books he had chosen and understood. It seemed that they shared the same goal: to find the secret behind the blood draining.
“As you can see.”
They smiled at each other.
Neither of them was talkative; each began searching for answers in the books.
At noon, Bei Yutang didn’t go downstairs for lunch but instead asked Ah Hua to bring her food upstairs. Seeing this, Dr. Zhang followed suit and ate his meal in the rest area of the library.
In the afternoon, several more people arrived at the library.
Li Mengmeng, Gongsun Mingyue, and Yan Jin all appeared in the library. Seeing the seemingly endless stack of books, all three showed expressions of amazement.
“My goodness, there are so many books here. I probably couldn’t read them all in a lifetime!” Li Mengmeng exclaimed sincerely.
“What books are you reading?”
Li Mengmeng stepped forward, her gaze sweeping over Bei Yutang’s table.
