“You can take advantage of this opportunity to stand on my side and deliberately provoke Li Mengmeng. This way, you can stay in a reasonable way, and you’ll have time to plan your next move. Am I right?”
Feng Qing’s eyes lit up; he greatly admired her observation and reasoning abilities. She had accurately described his thoughts and motives at the time.
“You’re right.”
Bei Yutang continued, “The white figure we saw in the East Hall was something you orchestrated, wasn’t it? Its purpose was to make us believe that the castle was abnormal, and indirectly, to tell us that the existence of vampires was normal.”
“When I said I was going to investigate the ghosts, you insisted on coming with me. You weren’t afraid I was in danger, but rather that I would discover something. The flickering wall lamps in the corridor were actually a major flaw in your plan.”
“I’d like to hear more.” Feng Qing listened attentively.
“Don’t you think it turned on too timely every time and turned off too perfectly each time? While it created a very effective atmosphere of ghostly presence, instilling fear, others might have actually believed it. Unfortunately, you encountered someone like me who isn’t afraid of ghosts.”
“The most crucial flaw is that you forgot that although vampires have ‘ghost’ in their name, they are different creatures. How could an ordinary ghost appear in a vampire’s territory? Vampires are proud creatures, disdainful of all other beings, and certainly not incapable of subduing an ordinary ghost, but rather a simply frightening one.”
“You wanted to use that ethereal, terrifying presence to shatter our spirits and make us ignore everything behind us. Unfortunately, you overdid it; it was unnecessary.”
“I observed everyone present and noticed that you were the only one with one hand constantly in your pocket. You looked a bit roguish, so this act suited your character. But I guessed you could control the switch. You had the wall lamp switch in your pocket, right?”
Clap, clap, clap…
Feng Qing couldn’t help but applaud her brilliant reasoning. He had previously thought that his assumptions and plans were flawless, but in her eyes, they were full of loopholes.
“I’m really starting to admire you more and more.” Feng Qing’s words were a genuine compliment.
Bei Yutang wasn’t pleased that she had guessed correctly, nor was she pleased by his praise.
She calmly said, “What I said above was all just my guess. After all, I have no evidence, so I can’t be sure it’s you. It wouldn’t be good if I guessed wrong and wrongly accused an innocent person. But what happened with Li Mengmeng confirmed your identity.”
“Oh. What exactly made you so sure?” Feng Qing asked leisurely.
Bei Yutang didn’t keep him in suspense: “Because of our suggestion that everyone stay together at night and not separate, you couldn’t kill us one by one anymore. And since you had no helpers, you naturally had to find a way to rescue them.”
“During the day, you started planning how to rescue them. The perfect opportunity came when Li Mengmeng and the others went to the East Hall, so you chose to stay behind. During the day, you quietly loosened the screws on the door lock to make sure everything looked fine from the outside. When we returned at night, you volunteered to go with Dr. Zhang to deliver food to Ah Hua and Butler Sen. It was during that time that you threw something like a razor blade to Ah Hua.”
