Human race, but was chased by girls from all races

Aniya's scream attracted everyone at once.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ai? What did you see?" Long Xinyu asked anxiously.

"Look up there!" Aniya pointed at the ceiling anxiously and said. The others looked up in the direction of Aniya's finger and immediately found the body tied to the ceiling.

As if to confirm everyone's discovery, another drop of dark red blood dripped from the corpse's head, dripped onto the floor, and spread out, scarlet and numbing.

When everyone was looking for clues just now, their attention and gaze were attracted by the bookshelves on both sides. They did not notice the ceiling above their heads and actually missed such important information!

"It seems that this corpse should be the puzzle that we need to solve in the library." Xu Weiwei said.

"We have to find a way to get the body down first, and then we can start the investigation." Shirley said.

"Regarding this... I think we may not need to intervene. The corpse will come down by itself." Qiuyue said slowly.

"Why?" As soon as she opened her mouth, the other girls immediately turned around and looked at Qiuyue.

"You can see that the body is fixed with a kind of tape. And if you look closely, you will find that the tape will soon lose its stickiness." Qiuyue said quietly.

As expected, as soon as Qiuyue finished speaking, the corpse seemed to confirm her words, and the tape on it began to loosen. The tape that fixed the corpse's chest was the first to break, and after this tape broke, the weight of the corpse was immediately distributed to the remaining tapes. This immediately increased the burden on the remaining tapes, causing the remaining tapes to lose their stickiness and break faster.

"Bang! Bang!"

The tapes used to hold the body in place broke off one by one, at an increasing speed. Finally, after losing most of the tapes, the body could no longer be held in place on the ceiling and fell from a height of four meters, hitting the ground with a "pop". When it hit the ground, blood even splattered all over the floor, looking quite horrible.

"Hmm..." Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Aniya swallowed her saliva and couldn't help shrinking behind Lin Tianlang. The brown-haired girl was afraid of such things. Even though she had faced the terrifying giants before, she still couldn't help but tremble in fear when facing a corpse.

"I'll go check it out." Lin Tianlang said, then walked forward.

"Hey, Tianlang, be careful." Shirley reminded from the side.

"..."

Lin Tianlang came to the side of the body, then squatted down and began to carefully examine the body. Qiuyue and Xu Weiwei also came to Lin Tianlang's side to help.

The corpse looked quite fresh. Although there were signs of a rotting odor, the smell was not particularly strong and was still bearable.

Lin Tianlang took a deep breath, then pinched his nose and turned the body over. Of course, turning the body over did not require him to actually touch the body with his hands, he could just use magic to control it.

The corpse was a man, wearing a suit and tie. The style of the suit and tie was exactly the same as that of the puppet butler. Not only that, even the man's face was exactly the same as that of the butler!

"This... isn't this the housekeeper?" Long Xinyu came closer and shouted, "Why is he here? And he was killed and tied to the ceiling with tape?"

"This shouldn't be the puppet butler on the ground." Shirley said softly.

"But... they look the same!" Long Xinyu said.

"Let's not worry about whether the dead guy is the butler for now. The most urgent task is to solve the cause of this guy's death. Since the butler said that there is a puzzle in the library, and now a dead body has appeared, it is obvious that this puzzle requires us to solve how this guy died." Lin Tianlang said.

His guess just now was that the entire library was the puzzle itself, because the body had not been found yet. Now that the body had appeared, the puzzle had been solved, proving that Lin Tianlang had made a mistake in his judgment just now. So what needed to be done next was to solve the mystery of the body. First, how did he die? Second, how was he fixed to the ceiling? Third, if necessary, find the murderer.

Of these three points, the first two must be understood. As for the third point, finding the murderer, it can be ignored for the time being. Because they have no information about the murderer, and even no range or reference for the candidate. It is even possible that the body appeared out of thin air just for the sake of the puzzle. After all, in this psychedelic mirror world, anything is possible.

"There are no obvious external injuries on the body of this corpse..." Qiuyue said softly.

"There are no remaining traces of magical attack." Xu Weiwei continued.

"In other words, this corpse was not caused by human beings?" Shirley pursed her lips and guessed.

There was no forensic doctor among the group, so it was impossible to make a completely accurate judgment on the specific time and cause of death of the body, but some basic judgments could still be made.

"The stench of this corpse is not that strong, which means that the time of death is not long, maybe... within a day. However, this information seems useless." Lin Tianlang scratched his head and said. He was very glad that the smell of this corpse was not that strong, otherwise the whole library would be filled with this stench, which is very unbearable.

The sudden appearance of the corpse immediately attracted everyone's attention. Now everyone gathered around the corpse and began to examine and speculate.

"This corpse... seems to have no other wounds on its body except for the head..."

I turned the body over and over, checked it three times, but found nothing else. There was a bleeding wound on the forehead of the body, and the blood had turned dark red and began to turn black. The blood in this wound should have coagulated, but it was only seeping out drop by drop. It was just that when I fell from the ceiling just now, the coagulated wound was torn open again, so it started bleeding again.

But apart from the wound on the forehead, there were no other injuries on the body. So it can be judged that this wound should be the fatal one.

"But... I'm just saying it's possible, one possibility, that the body was poisoned?" Aniya whispered her speculation.

"It's unlikely. If the wound was created after the person was poisoned to death, there wouldn't be so much blood. And if the wound was created first and then the person was poisoned to death, the nature of the blood would be different. But these two points don't match, so it doesn't seem like the person was poisoned." Shirley explained.

"Xuexue, you actually know so much?" Long Xinyu said with a little surprise.

"When we were in the Crescent Forest, this was the knowledge we as guards had to learn." Shirley said softly, a little embarrassed.

"If that's the case, then this must be the fatal wound of the corpse." Lin Tianlang pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and reached out his hand towards the wound on the corpse.

"What are you doing?" Xu Weiwei asked.

"I need to confirm it again." Lin Tianlang said slowly, and then pressed the wound on the corpse's head with his hand. The wound was soft and collapsed, and the skull was obviously broken, so it was like this. For this result, Lin Tianlang could only think of one answer - impact.

"The skull of the wound has been completely shattered. I think we already have the answer to the question of 'how did he die'. The cause of death was a violent impact." Lin Tianlang said slowly.

"Collision...You mean, this guy died by hitting his head against the wall?" Long Xinyu said, touching his chin.

"It's also possible that he died from a fall," Shirley added.

"Compared to hitting the wall, it would be more reasonable to die from falling. So...how did he fall?" Lin Tianlang said, touching his head.

"This man...this outfit, he should be a librarian, right?" Qiuyue said softly.

"Librarian... Could it be that he accidentally fell down while arranging the bookshelf and died?" Aniya also expressed her own speculation.

"It shouldn't be. The height of this library is only 4 meters. Even if someone accidentally fell down while taking a book in the library, he would only have fallen from a relative height of about 3 meters. It is not enough to cause such a fall. Unless this person's skull is made of biscuits." Lin Tianlang said with a frown.

"Yes, if he really just fell down while getting a book, this height should not be fatal, because the wound is located on the corner of the forehead, not the back of the head. To put it another way, even if this guy is really unlucky and died from such a fall, he would not fall to this extent." Shirley said.

"And... everyone seems to have overlooked something just now." Qiuyue spoke softly. Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to look at Qiuyue.

The pink-haired girl rolled up the long-sleeved shirt and trousers on the body - Lin Tianlang had already taken action, so she didn't care so much. After rolling up the sleeves and trousers, it was easy to find that there were many bruises and various soft tissue contusions on the body. This further confirmed that the cause of death of the corpse was falling, not hitting the wall.

"These bruises must have been caused by falling from a relatively high place," Qiuyue said softly.

"But... since he didn't fall to death while picking up the book, then where else could he have fallen to death? He couldn't have fallen to death somewhere else first, and then the body was moved here, right?" Long Xinyu scratched his hair, saying with some confusion.

"..."

Everyone fell silent, and the mystery was suddenly stagnant...
