It's black blood.

Lin Yuzhen gently uncovered the blacksmith's coat, and found an inconspicuous secret pocket sewn inside. If it wasn't bulging with stuff, it would be difficult to find the boundary between its stitches and the inside.

Inside the inner bag is a soft cardboard box slightly larger than a matchbox, which contains iron nails of various sizes, large and small, and several smooth polished needles of different thicknesses.

The key that can open the "Carl's Wish" item box might be one of them.

Lin Yuzhen fell into a little confusion. The blacksmith went to see the god of death before he could express any wish. Will the item box be invalidated?

Anyway, it's better to take things home and try than give up. He stuffed the cardboard box into his pocket, leaned against the wall between the door and the window, tried to catch the movement outside with his ears for a while, and then moved slowly Open the door a few centimeters, pick up a shriveled apple from the corner of the table, and throw it out of the door.

After the dull landing sound, the apple rolled on the grass a few times almost silently, and there was no more sound.

Lin Yuzhen leaned back against the wall and tried to dial out the team communication, but found that there was no signal at all.

Maybe it's out of communication range, or because it's indoors.

Time is limited, and it is not an option to spend it here, so he decided to take a gamble.Quickly adjusted his breathing, and silently counted to three, Lin Yuzhen opened the door.

It was still very quiet outside, and there was no wind, and Lin Yuzhen could even hear her own heartbeat.

The light created a small bright area in the darkness, and he slowly explored the direction where he had glimpsed a shadow flashing by. He had just moved half a step when he suddenly stopped.

The faint light of the kerosene lamp revealed a faint pink scratch on the wall outside the door. He dabbed the powder with his hand, put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and smelled a sweet peach smell.

The team communication sounded at this time, and Zhou Ruiyao's voice came out: "I have returned to the tavern, can you hear me, where are you now?"

Lin Yuzhen stared at the scratch for a few seconds, resisted his cleanliness and touched it with his hands again. The powder was hard and slightly sticky to the touch. This feeling finally convinced him that it was indeed from candy powder. .

"That's it," he said, "Captain Zhou, we need to clear out the things on the shelf on the west wall of the attic."

Back in Keith’s tavern, after a period of busy work, all kinds of sundries leaning against the west wall of the attic were finally removed as Lin Yuzhen said, with the thumb-sized white spot found before as one of the apexes, the wall A rhombus with a different color from the surrounding area appeared on the surface.

Lin Yuzhen pointed to the area on the wall and asked Case, who was being helped to the side, paralyzed: "Is there a painting hanging here?"

Case turned his blank eyes for a while, and replied weakly: "No, there has always been a storage shelf there."

Lin Yuzhen stared into his eyes, not intending to let him go because of his sluggish state: "How long has your tavern been open?"

Case said slowly, "It's been more than 70 years since my father started the business."

Zhou Ruiyao didn't understand why he asked this at all, and there were question marks all over his head beside him.

After Lin Yuzhen came back from the tin house, Zhou Ruiyao had already asked him about the valid information he had collected. Seeing that he still had no plans to open the "Who Stole My □□" item box in front of him, he caught Case and asked some questions. With a thoughtless question, I couldn't help but said: "Isn't this already clear? All the current evidence points to Fanwolf - the powder of pink soda candy was left at the scene, and it is reasonable to contact him today for refusing to sell it for no reason. It is guessed that it is used as a raw material for bullets. Although the vampires in Rose City are cursed by Aiden and cannot enter Wright Town, Pink Wolf is not a vampire and meets the conditions for entering the town. Based on the previous question about the item box, it can be seen that he is an earlier One of the townspeople who was sacrificed, therefore harboring resentment, it makes perfect sense to come back for revenge, shooting one townsman every year is also in line with the number of previous sacrifices. Is there anyone else besides him?"

Lin Yuzhen nodded slightly: "But have you noticed this diamond-shaped area? The size is exactly the same as the decorative painting on the west wall of the Fenlang Candy Store, even the hanging height is the same."

"And this wardrobe," Lin Yuzhen looked up, "don't you think it's a bit too high?"

Zhou Ruiyao: "You mean..."

"Although this item box was found in Case's tavern," Lin Yuzhen said, "the 'I' in this question does not refer to Case."

"Huh?" Zhou Ruiyao paused for a moment before realizing, "Do you think... this tavern is actually the shop that Pink Wolf was run by before being sacrificed to Hollins? After Pink Wolf was sacrificed, the Keith family occupied it , So, the real owner of that gun is actually Pink Wolf? What about the evidence? It can’t just be this wall that seems to have been hung with paintings and the over-high wardrobe.”

Lin Yuzhen turned around and lifted the empty grocery shelf and turned it over, allowing Zhou Ruiyao to see clearly the bottom of the legs. There were two inconspicuous hairs sticking to the base of the wall. The ends of the hair were light pink, but the roots were light gray: " It's wolf fur."

Zhou Ruiyao was slightly startled, remembering what Shao Ting said.

"The real owner of the tavern is Pink Wolf," Lin Yuzhen said, "this can also explain why the pistols are always deliberately dropped next to the residents who were shot - making the survivors in the town suspect and alienate Case, who has nothing to do with it." The rebuttal is likely to be revenge for the Case family occupying the magpie's nest. But I still have two questions: how did the pink wolf survive after being sacrificed? Unknowingly took the hidden pistol."

Zhou Ruiyao said "Yes": "That's right, I think so too. If you find the answers to these two questions, you will know why he still succeeds every year after the townspeople become vigilant. I think It's some kind of ability of his."

Lin Yuzhen did not fully agree: "But he is not a blood race. As a sacrifice chosen before Aiden, he is very likely to be a black-blooded man, but the black-blooded race seems to have nothing other than longevity and tall stature. Something special."

Zhou Ruiyao pondered for a while: "I'll talk about these two issues later. It's important to open the item box and go back to the city. One, we already know that Aiden is the last sacrifice, so we directly rule out the BCD option, and the other one is Kais who stole it." . Hurry up, each person drives one."

The "Who Stole My Pistol" prop box was placed in front of the two of them, and the wooden box from the four choices found in the Black Rose Castle was on Lin Yuzhen's body. Zhou Ruiyao reached out and took the one in front of him. Underline the word "Kai".

"Wait a minute," Lin Yuzhen saw that the second stroke was halfway through, and grabbed Zhou Ruiyao's wrist to prevent him from turning the corner. "It's Parker Case."

Zhou Ruiyao was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained his composure, and smiled apologetically: "I was distracted."

Although Lin Yuzhen didn't say much, doubts inevitably arose in his heart. According to Zhou Ruiyao's level in daily training, such low-level mistakes would never be made.The boss in front of him, Keith, obviously did not participate in the so-called sacrificial day. His father, Parker Keith, the first owner of the tavern, was the one who had gone through that era and occupied the shop.

Zhou Ruiyao finished writing the answer in the answer area, and the box opened.

Accompanied by the sound of ding-ding-dong-dong piano, a sweet aroma slowly came out, and inside was a small bag of soda candy in simple packaging, blue, yellow and black, with a few pieces in each of the three colors.

The smile on Zhou Ruiyao's face froze instantly.

After a while, he wondered: "Could it be that the wine chocolate was chosen by mistake before, but now because it answered the question correctly, it provided us with the correct souvenir ingredients?"

Lin Yuzhen's attention was not entirely on the props that were opened: "I remember that the opening music of the first prop box was the Concerto in G major, but this one is in the key of E minor."

In the company's daily training, the random prop box did not have any BGM.

Zhou Ruiyao hummed casually: "But at present, I can't judge the relationship between the song and the answer. Besides, there is still the possibility of random playback, so don't place too much hope on it. You choose one of the four, why don't you open it?" ?”

Since no props with high gold content have been released so far, let alone hidden props that can eliminate opponents, Zhou Ruiyao is very anxious. Although he restrains and restrains, his eyes are still full of urgency when looking at the prop box.

Holding the wooden box, Lin Yuzhen scanned the four options under the question several times, but did not press the button for a long time.

I always feel that this question will not be so simple. Just relying on Case's description of the end of the sacrificial day for wizards that year, three answers can be easily ruled out.

Unlike "Who stole my pistol", the existing doubts really affect the final answer - for example, the box says [order of entry], is this order exactly the same as [sacrifice order]?

The town of Wright vaguely revealed a corner of the mystery for them, and there must be a bigger secret hidden in the city of Black Rose.

However, Zhou Ruiyao didn't think this kind of concern was worth taking into consideration: "The most important thing now is to go back to the city, don't waste time on indecision! It's already dark, and you don't know what danger you will encounter when you walk through the fog. We don't even have an effective offensive item! Don't tell me you're going to use that dagger for self-defense, is it good for bullets?"

Lin Yuzhen couldn't dodge in time, Zhou Ruiyao's hand had already pressed it unexpectedly, the silver button corresponding to option A sank deeply, and the box popped open——
