living in the world of reincarnation

Chapter 8 Infighting
After discovering An Junhang's body, the five people didn't have the mood to continue searching the castle. They all went downstairs and returned to the hall with heavy thoughts. At this moment, the steps of several people stopped, and there was another task reminder.

[Sub-quests] Find the real culprit

Reward points: 200 points

"Find the real culprit!" Mu Lan frowned. This should mean finding the murderer who killed An Junhang. Perhaps among these few people, the six surviving people will fall into a chain of suspicion of mutual suspicion and constant testing.

Xiaode and An Junhang had died and were eliminated, and everyone of the remaining six people was suspected. Even Xu Min, who had been following Lu Tianming, immediately moved away from him for a long distance after hearing the mission prompt. Speak out, the atmosphere is oppressive, everyone is thinking in their hearts.

"It's definitely not me!" Xu Min lost his composure, "I've been following Lu Tianming just now, and I never had a chance to kill anyone!" Then he looked at Lu Tianming.

Lu Tianming nodded, testifying for Xu Min and also clearing himself of suspicion: "The two of us have been checking on the fourth floor. Basically, we act together in every room. We can all testify against each other."

Mu Lan also immediately said: "A Feng and I were checking on the third floor, and we were basically never separated." Then she told the story about the discovery of the body of the butler Leon and the count's plan to kill seven people to complete the resurrection ceremony.

"Kill seven people? And the number of our task is exactly seven people, so it matches. The one extra person is most likely the Earl himself." Among the people, as long as he is found, the biggest threat to the castle will be removed, and we will survive until the end of the mission."

Lu Tianming looked at Zhao Mengqi and said, "We all have alibi. Before An Junhang was killed, you were the only one beside him. It seems that you are the most suspicious."

Zhao Mengqi was shocked when she heard the words, she waved her hands in a panic, "It's not me, it's not me!" Seeing a few people looking at her suspiciously, as if they were driven into a corner and stimulated their brains, in order to prove themselves, they suddenly became clear : "He and I are students of the same class in the same school. We met in the extracurricular self-study room. We are very familiar with each other. There is no need for me to kill him, and I am so weak that I can't beat him at all. Please believe me, I am not murderer!"

Zhao Mengqi said a lot of things to prove herself. The core point was that she and An Junhang knew each other in reality, and their performance after entering the reincarnation world also supported this statement. Mu Lan's thinking entered a blind corner, and this matter There were many doubts, and she was a little unsure that the count was hidden among the eight people. How could a noble duke from another world disguise himself in the team without exposing himself?

For a while, he was not sure who was more suspicious. Lu Tianming changed the subject and said, "It seems that finding the murderer needs to be observed slowly. In fact, there is one more important thing." After finishing speaking, he looked at the To Zhao Mengqi.

"We didn't find food or water. If we don't drink water for three days, our bodies will quickly become exhausted. Even if we don't die of thirst and starvation, we won't have the energy to deal with the Earl."

Mu Lan noticed that Zhao Mengqi's head began to sweat and her body became tense. She remembered that last night, after Lu Tianming mentioned food and water, the female student tightened her grip on the schoolbag in her hand.

"Give me your bag!" Lu Tianming said and walked over, "You keep protecting the bag, what's in it? You get nervous when I mention food!"

The pressure of an adult man made Zhao Mengqi unable to resist. She froze in place and watched as Lu Tianming snatched her bag.

Lu Tianming opened his schoolbag and rummaged through it, taking out half a bottle of mineral water and half-eaten bread.

It turned out that what Zhao Mengqi had been nervous about was food and water. Under these conditions, half a bottle of water and bread were the only hope for the six people to survive. Xu Min looked at the bottle of water longingly, and his throat rumbled, showing that he was very thirsty.

"You hid food!" Xu Min accused Zhao Mengqi, and she said angrily: "We are still protecting you all the way, why don't you take it out and share it with us!"

Zhao Mengqi lowered her head and said nothing, but Mu Lan could understand her thoughts. If it was her, she would keep more hope of life for herself. People should live more selfishly.

Xu Min wanted to get the water in Lu Tianming's hand, but was dodged, and was caught for nothing. Xu Min was puzzled and said, "I'm a little thirsty. I haven't drunk water for a day."

Lu Tianming smiled: "This is the only food and water we have left, it's just a small amount, and we have to distribute it properly."

"Why?" Xu Min said angrily, "Why do you listen to me? Who do you think you are!"

"Why do you think so!" Lu Tianming sneered. He pushed up his glasses and said sarcastically: "Just because you may be one of the murderers, why should I give you water? Even if you are not the murderer, you have helped There is no need to be busy. Those who can work hard will get more. I deserve this. In order to keep us united against the earl, I don’t mind giving some water to worthy people, but not now."

Seeing that Xu Min couldn't defeat him and couldn't defeat him in terms of strength, Xu Min muttered angrily and then stopped moving. She just stared at the water in Lu Tianming's hand from time to time, with greed in her eyes, which showed that her coveting thoughts were not extinguished.

Seeing the half-eaten bread, Mu Lan also felt a little hungry. She hadn't eaten for almost a whole day, and she was also very hungry. She didn't know how Lu Tianming distributed it, but she believed that Lu Tianming was a smart person. A delicate balance was maintained among these few people. He needed to beware of the Earl's attack, and he also needed to keep other people's strength in order to contain the Earl. So it was obviously not a good idea to monopolize the Earl. Of course, the premise of everything was that Lu Tianming was not the Earl himself.

And facing the other people, Lu Tianming wanted to eat water and food all by himself. Unless he ran away and hid, he would inevitably be surrounded by crowds. Counting the two of them, even under the siege of the three women, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

"Okay, everyone has a share of this water and bread. I keep my word. Now is not the time to eat, drink and rest." Lu Tianming said. He put the things back into his schoolbag, carried them on his back, and said: "Go back to The first question is, who is the murderer?"

"The murderer is him!"

The five people turned around and saw Wang Qiang limping slowly over. He pointed at A Feng and glared: "He must be the murderer! When I was chased by the monster yesterday, he was the one who led the monster to my direction. Then he ran away, he wanted to kill me!"

Mu Lan saw a momentary change in Ah Feng's eyes. Faced with Wang Qiang's accusation, Mu Lan turned cold and said with gloomy eyes: "I admit that I used you to get out of trouble yesterday, but that's just not for myself. After all, I don't want to die."

"Look! He admitted it!" Wang Qiang roared, his eyes bright as if he had found the truth, "Your skills are not ordinary at all, it is so easy to kill people! You are the bastard who took us to the castle and wanted to kill us one by one. kill!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Qiang actually took out a sharp metal object from behind and stabbed A Feng in the throat.

Mu Lan was taken aback by this turn of events, and immediately avoided the fight between the two of them.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qiang's blow actually pierced through the air. Ah Feng dodged to the left, avoiding the fatal attack.

"Damn it!" Wang Qiang cursed, and took the weapon in his hand and turned his head towards Afeng. The long and thin metal stick was unloaded from that household. It was sharp and sharp at one end. The human body can't live for long. Wang Qiang's eyes were bloodshot. He was irritated after Ah Feng dodged several attacks. He chased after Ah Feng. Every attack was fatal, and Wang Qiang's injured state could not be seen for a while.

"Help!" Lu Tianming suddenly said to the three ladies, "With one less person, there is less threat, not to mention Afeng's suspicion is really high!"

Unexpectedly, the team would be torn apart in less than a day. Mu Lan understood what Lu Tianming meant, and killed those who he considered a threat until he was left alone, then he would be invincible.

However, none of the three women made any move. Lu Tianming was very insidious. If he got rid of Ah Feng, he would inevitably turn around and deal with them. Moreover, Mu Lan believed that although Ah Feng had suspicious skills, he was with her when An Junhang was killed. , there is alibi, the suspicion is not that big.

Wang Qiang's wound was bleeding, and it must have not healed in such a short period of time. After all the tossing, his whole body's physical strength was rapidly draining.

Ah Feng also intentionally consumed him. Seeing Lu Tianming approaching, he knew that one-on-two was unwise. He wanted a quick fight, so he kicked Wang Qiang's leg violently while dodging another attack, and the wound was torn open. The pain made Wang Qiang scream, Ah Feng took the weapon from his hand, and stabbed Wang Qiang's throat with his backhand.

Seeing that Afeng quickly killed Wang Qiang, Lu Tianming was a little embarrassed. He wanted to work together to get rid of Afeng first, but he didn't expect him to kill so quickly.

Ah Feng gave Lu Tianming a cold look, then looked at the other three women, and ran away without looking back. It's the servant's room. There are many rooms with complex structures. It will be difficult to find him for a while.

Blood gushed out from Wang Qiang's neck continuously. His mouth was opened wide. He should have tried to breathe hard before he died, but a lot of blood came out of his mouth, and his death was extremely tragic.

The third person has died. Mu Lan combined the known clues to think hard. She observed the faces of everyone. Xu Min stood there in a daze, his face pale. Beside the corpse, the face was dark and unclear, and Ah Feng in the dark did not know where he was hiding.

Who will be the murderer?
