Chapter 672: All Evil?! Not a single word mentioned?

The murderer plus seven accomplices.

Then isn't that…

"All Evil?!" the crowd exclaimed in unison.

"This is what I saw with my own eyes, exactly eight people, I didn't see wrong!" Liang Kaiqi solemnly nodded.

With that said, Su Yang and the others all looked at Li Zhenhua.

"She… didn't lie," Li Zhenhua said in a deep voice.

"What?! This…" Yu Meng was dumbfounded.

All eight people are murderers?

"So that one‑minute long wail was actually eight people torturing her?" Su Yang frowned.

"What kind of grudge could be that big?" Tang Youning felt puzzled.

Diana committed a heinous crime, didn't she?

She was actually targeted and persecuted by everyone in the Ancient Castle.

"That's not right!" Zhai Sixin suddenly thought of something, "If all eight are murderers, then why is Gu Jun being thrown out not counted as Clearance?"

Indeed!

Gu Jun is also a perpetrator, and as a Coachman, he is precisely the one wielding the Horse Whip to assault.

The corpse had only whip marks on the back and no other injuries.

Thus it is highly possible that she was painfully killed while still alive.

On top of that, she was poisoned, and the combination of the two became unbearable.

In the end, the overwhelming burden led to death.

"Now we can be certain that the knife lodged in the heart was placed after Diana's death; according to the principle of seeking the murderer, we should identify the one who delivered the final blow," Su Yang said.

Liang Kaiqi pondered briefly, then said, "…including the Cook who administered the poison, the eight took turns whipping Diana."

"According to the last scene Diana saw before dying—the one who gave the final blow was the Coachman!"

Again the Coachman?

People stared at each other, all seeing deep confusion in each other's eyes.

Has the investigation hit another dead end?

"If the Coachman literally beat her to death, that means the 'final blow' isn't the key point," Tang Youning said.

"Then what could it be? The mastermind who planned this massacre?" Yu Meng asked.

"Mastermind…" Su Yang chewed over the two words, his mind stirred.

"That could be a brand‑new viable line of thought, but before that we need to clarify everyone's story and attitude."

"First, Sikeite's Letter explicitly states he wants to kill Diana; I previously thought it couldn't be out of love‑turned‑hate, but now I see I was vastly wrong."

"The black‑haired Maid's Letter reveals jealousy between the lines and also shows some intent."

"But… Gai Lun Bo Ge has no murderous intent toward Diana; why would he take part in this operation?"

The doubts are numerous!

This is harder than directly finding the killer.

For example, Gai Lun Bo Ge, who seems to have no direct emotional entanglement with Diana, would still strike down.

There is also the Countess and the Count.

The former is the mistress of this Ancient Castle, hating her husband's lover both emotionally and rationally.

But what motive does the latter have?

His usual abusive behavior shows his twisted mind, yet regardless, Diana is his lover.

Thinking of this, Su Yang looked at Liang Kaiqi and asked, "When you went to the stables, did you find anything, like a Photo Frame?"

"Mr. Huang's main goal was to find the Photo Frame, but the search yielded nothing; apart from the Horse Whip, there were no other valuable Luoshi," Liang Kaiqi shook her head.

That is strange.

Clearly he already used Deception to alter some rules, causing the Evidence chain to surface.

But why is there none?

"Could it have been hidden by someone?" Su Yang furrowed his brow, his gaze sweeping over the thoughtful players' faces.

But the initial players didn't know the Letter was hidden inside the Photo Frame; what was the purpose of them hiding this thing?

【7】 Even if we take a step back and assume they anticipated the Photo Frame's importance.

Taking a step back, even if we had anticipated the importance of the Photo Frame.

They still couldn't decipher the pre‑localization content.

Moreover, at this stage Luoshi are extremely scarce, and who could infer from the information gleaned by trial that they are the murderer?

"I feel… the game's difficulty has increased again," Li Zhenhua sighed helplessly.

Now is no longer the time to be wary of a murderer sabotaging from behind.

All seven people on the field are completely clueless.

To put it bluntly, they haven't even met the Threshold.

"When I learned this news I didn't know how to act, I even considered making the information public, but…" Liang Kaiqi stopped mid‑sentence, glancing at Huang Zhenzhong.

"Seizing the initiative is fine; that's normal logic and practice, after all, using the Information Gap to catch other players off guard is a common tactic," Su Yang said.

"Unfortunately, even if we say it, you have no clue," Liang Kaiqi lamented.

At that moment, Huang Zhenzhong's bluish‑purple complexion suddenly flushed a bit, and he half‑knelt on the ground, dry‑vomiting.

"Huh—Brother Tang, you really used a good method to shut me up."

Tang Youning calmly replied, "I don't like noisy people."

"I've said it before, even if we share them there's no solution," Huang Zhenzhong said, wiping the saliva from his mouth and slowly standing.

Su Yang, you fell for the slightly soft‑and‑hard scheme I used; where did he get his countermeasures?

Hearing this, Su Yang said with interest, "So… Brother Huang, do you have a way?"

"Even if I have one, I won't tell you. The information I painstakingly gathered was stolen by a few of your words, yet I got no return. Who would willingly be ripped off for nothing?" Huang Zhenzhong said discontentedly.

Su Yang smiled but did not rebut.

The fact was indeed so; although there is no way to handle it now, it at least provided a correct path.

Finding the mastermind and the murderer are two different concepts.

"The letter?" Su Yang looked toward Zhai Sixin.

"It's all here."

Zhai Sixin fished several stacked sheets of paper from her pocket and handed them over.

Su Yang took them, spread them out, read carefully, and after a while pressed his lips together, thinking to himself, "They are of no value at all."

"We haven't gone to the Master Room yet; the Photo Frame might contain important clues," Tang Youning suggested.

"Let's go, it's perfect—last night we couldn't enter due to the rules and investigate," Su Yang nodded.

Immediately, the group stepped onto the stairs toward the Master Room.

Halfway there, Su Yang's steps halted; he turned back to glance at the corpse, looking thoughtful.

Noticing the oddity behind him, Yu Meng asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Find a time to bury it; leaving it here is too stinky," Su Yang said.

"I can't do this job," Yu Meng said bluntly.

"Hehe…"

Su Yang followed the main force's slow steps, his gaze landing on Liang Kaiqi, a strange hue flashing in his eyes.

"Since she can see the scene of injury through a sharp weapon, she could also access the previous intimate moments between Diana and the Count."

"Also includes…"

"The Cook's scene of poisoning her!"

The Horse Whip is the most prominent Murder Weapon.

And the Cook's poisoning involves nothing but bottles and jars; there are piles of those things in the kitchen.

Not hard to find.

But she didn't mention a single word about it.

"It seems this piece of information is especially important; we need to think of a way to dig it out," Su Yang's mouth curved slightly upward.
