The shipwrecked passengers nervously looked at Concubine Xia holding a gun, but it was the girl with braids who spoke first: [We guarantee that no one else is hiding on the island.] As for the corpse, we are equally surprised by the fact that it disappeared. We didn't move them, and we don't know why they disappeared. The
doll flour-haired girl added: [We haven't been on the island for less than an hour, and we don't have a chance to do anything like this.] And, if we are really murderers, why would we admit that we are shipwrecked passengers in front of everyone? We have no motive or reason to do such a thing.
After listening to the explanations of the two traveler girls, Concubine Xia temporarily put down the guns in her hands, but she still looked uneasy: [Then, this matter is even more strange.] We must find out the truth as soon as possible to ensure our safety.
Dr. Nanjo nodded in agreement: [That's right, there seems to be a lot of unsolved mysteries on this island.] We have to work together to find answers as soon as possible. The
right generation palace warrior also followed closely and said: [That's right, now is not the time to doubt each other, but to cooperate with each other. We need to come together to get through this. The
shipwrecked passengers nodded in agreement, knowing that the most important thing now was to find the truth, not to blame and doubt each other. So, everyone began to investigate together, looking for clues, trying to solve the mystery of this locked room murder case.
The crowd fell into a tense silence. The expressions on the faces of the shipwrecked passengers looked a little panicked, but they did not hide anything as Concubine Xia suspected. Although the interrogation had been interrupted by the servant's exclamation, they cooperated to recount their experiences, describing in as much detail as possible about their shipwreck, and what had happened on the island.
They said they were a group of tourists traveling at sea when a sudden typhoon hit their yacht and eventually wrecked. They drifted and were finally washed up on the Liuxuan Island. While walking around the island, they found the manor of the Youdainomiya family and sought refuge.
One by one, they handed over their identification and travel certificates, and told their movements. Despite some skepticism, their testimony seemed completely true.
However, the fact that the body disappeared still haunts everyone. Sento, Concubine Xia, Doctor Nanjo, etc., as long as they can remain calm and sober now, are all thinking about this matter as much as possible, trying to find a reasonable explanation.
At this moment, the ponytail girl suddenly seemed to think of some whimsy, and said loudly: [I have an idea, I don't know if you think it's
possible?] Concubine Xia was a little displeased with the ponytail girl's babbling performance, but still signaled: [Talk about it~] The ponytail girl continued: [
We might as well think about it, is it possible that there is a secret passage on this island?]
If anything, the killer may have moved the body away through this passage.
After listening to the ponytail girl's words, everyone began to think about this possibility. Sure enough, the family members and servants present thought of a possibility: there was indeed a secret passage in the manor, but it had been sealed off by the owner of the manor for many years, and only the owner of the manor and a very small number of family members knew the location of the passage.
At least even Concubine Xia, the wife of the house, didn't know that there was such a possibility of such a secret passage. There is a growing sense of the complexity and seriousness of the case. In the absence of any evidence or clues, they seem to have no idea where to start. They realized that they had to find the killer and solve the case through some breakthroughs.
However, time waits for no one. As the typhoon continued to rage, more and more people began to feel helpless and panicked. They have fallen into a deadlock with no way out.
Since it was already a dead end, even the slightest possible breakthrough had to be seized, and then with the concerted efforts of the shipwrecked passengers, members of the Right Daigong family, and servants, they finally found a path that looked like a secret passage.
The path is obscured by dense weeds and branches, making it difficult to detect. However, the sharp-eyed and experienced shipwrecked travelers and members of the Uyonomiya family allowed them to recognize the peculiarities of this path.
They carefully tread through the soft soil, treading through branches and root systems perpendicular to the ground, until they found a huge rock. The rocks looked ordinary, but when they got closer, they found a tiny groove, the size of a palm. On this groove, there are some symbols that are barely legible.
[What is this?] Zhu Zhixiang asked.
[This is a password, we need to find the correct symbol to open the channel.] Ryoji replied.
They began to look closely at the symbols and try to compare them to those that might exist elsewhere. After a few minutes, they finally found a matching symbol and placed their fingers on the groove.
After a few seconds, the rock began to move. A large stone door is revealed, and they can see the route to the secret passage.
They made their way through the stone gate and into a narrow and dark passage. The members of the Right Dainomiya family provided some torches and lighting equipment so that they could see ahead.
They make their way through a series of rooms and corridors until they reach what appears to be the main room. There wasn't a single trace of dust or cobwebs found in the room, and it looked like it was still being cleaned and used a lot recently. However, the first thing they noticed was that there was a mechanism in the center of the room that looked like a control portal.
[This is what we've been looking for!?] Concubine Xia of the Right Dynasty Palace asked with a little hopeful excitement.
They began to study the mechanism carefully, trying to find a way to open more portals nearby. They discovered that the trap required a special key to activate. The maid provided some tools, and they began to try to open the mechanism.
They tried a few times, and finally they finally heard a loud sound. The portal began to move, and they could see a new gate appear in the depths. Ancient symbols and incantations are carved on the door, while behind the door is a brand new hallway.
Everyone hesitated to go in, but finally decided to go in and have a look. The walls on both sides of the corridor are hung with various mysterious paintings and sculptures, giving people a sense of mystery.
Suddenly, everyone heard a strange sound. The sound echoed through the hall as if it were a curse from a ghost. Everyone suddenly felt a chill and fear, and they didn't know what to do~!?
