The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat subtle.

Those who wanted to admit it all admitted it, and those who didn't want to admit it also had reasonable reasons.

Park Min-cheol sorted out the situation: "So, at 10:20, Dan called his fiancée (Jian Jing) and asked her to come over at 12:30. Then at 10:30, he asked his brother-in-law (Wu Lie) to come over. They talked until 10:50 and left. Then he met his brother-in-law (Andre) from 11:15 to 11:30."

"This time is so strange. If what Raj said is true, Dan thinks he is going to die today, and there is no way he would not see his third son. And his nephew, he likes Xiaobai very much, doesn't he?" Zhang Xueer frowned, "And it's unreasonable to call Teacher Jian first. From 11:30 to 12:30, didn't he want to see anyone?"

Ishikawa said simply and forcefully: "Someone lied."

"Who?"

"Jane was the first person to tell her time, so the probability of her lying is very low." Valeria wrote a string of Russian words in her notebook and analyzed, "It's too easy to be exposed."

Everyone agreed.

"Kojima-kun's suspicion has increased." Terauchi Kumiko said, "He just needs to follow Jane Jing's words. It's so late, the probability of overlapping with other people's time is not high."

Ishikawa Keito: "I suspect Sanzi more. It's too strange not to see your own child. I think that after 10 p.m., Dan should have notified Sanzi first."

Li Kangna asked: "Is it possible that the one-hour blank time is the murderer's Murder? He was afraid that the next person who came would find out when he committed the crime, so he cut off the head of the body to make it look like the body might not be Dan's, misleading us?"

Jian Jing: "Has the autopsy report of the witch come out?"

Tool man Raj: "It's out. The witch died between 10:00 pm and 1:00 am. No signs of murder have been found for the time being."

Kojima Wataru: "Witchcraft."

The case has become more complicated.

"Let's take the confession as a reference, but it's better for us to look at the evidence." Jian Jing suggested, "Assuming witchcraft exists, if Dan is going to achieve immortality, he will need a new container. So now there is a new question, was the immortality technique successful?"

Jin Lan'er gasped, "If it was successful, would Dan still be alive now?"

"Oh, so scary." Terauchi Kumiko looked around and joked, "If Dan is still alive, let him tell us directly who the murderer is."

No one responded.

Jian Jing couldn't bear her embarrassment and said with a smile: "Maybe Dan didn't succeed in reincarnation."

Kojima Shigeru: "If Dan has already reincarnated, there is no need for the murderer to kill him again. I think the most likely reason why the murderer killed Dan is to prevent him from eternal life."

Jian Jing nodded: "I am more inclined to this motive."

"Who wants to stop him?"

Valeria said without hesitation: "Of course it is the person who will be replaced by him."

"Then we are back to the old question, who did Dan choose as the container?" Li Kangna said, "Me, Reporter Park, or someone else?"

"There must be other clues." Jian Jing said, "Where is the witch's room?"

NPC butler: "On the 9th floor."

The 9th floor is the leisure area, with a cinema, billiards hall, indoor golf, wine bar, gym and indoor swimming pool. Because the case happened on the first day, no one has been here much.

This time, everyone gathered on the 9th floor to look for the witch's room.

The housekeeper said, "I don't know where the witch lives, I just know she's on the 9th floor."

The implication is that you should find it yourself.

Everyone split up and roughly searched the rooms with doors, but found no signs of suspected habitation.

"Another secret room." Wu Lie looked at Jian Jing and asked, "Does Teacher Jian have any comments?"

She smiled bitterly, "This place is too big, and I'm not an architect, at least give me a range."

The housekeeper: "The captain has a floor plan."

"Huh." Jin Lan'er exaggeratedly said, "Let's borrow it now."

With the floor plan in hand, everyone gathered around the table to study it.

Jian Jing had never drawn a building card, and after studying it for a while, she couldn't see anything unusual. The others did the same, and finally decided to check in groups to see if there were any rooms that looked particularly small.

This took everyone a lot of time, plus eating, resting, putting on makeup, and going to the bathroom. At around 3 pm, they finally found the door behind the curtain of the cinema.

"It's not easy for an old lady in her seventies or eighties to go in and out of here every day." Park Minzhe sighed.

Li Kangna: "Let's see what secrets are inside."

The last piece of the puzzle finally appeared.

Pushing the door open, there was a dark room inside, with strange colored paper hanging overhead, and incomprehensible spells drawn on the paper. There were many silk threads hanging from the ceiling, and a doll's head was tied under each one.

In the center of the room was a blanket and a low table, like a living room, with a door at the back.

Jian Jing: "What a hell."

"This is too scary." Zhang Xueer subconsciously moved closer to her. Her height of 1.8 meters made her almost at the same level as the puppet's head.

When their eyes met, she shuddered and hugged Jian Jing's arm: "What does the witch want to do?"

Jian Jing: "You got the point. Why did the witch help Dan? Looking at the situation on the scene, it seems that she has also dedicated her life to this spell."

She ignored the surrounding layout and went straight to the inner room.

The inner room was a small bedroom with a very small wooden bed, an old cabinet, and bottles and jars piled in the corners of the wall with unknown liquids in them.

"Jian Sang, your life story is here." Xiaodao Shi called her.

Jian Jing turned around and saw the photo in his hand.

The young woman was holding a little girl in her arms, and the two took a photo in the hospital. On the back of the photo was written: With my son Xiaoyu in 1940.

"Yumeng is the witch's daughter." Jian Jing suddenly realized, "Wait, there are small words on the photo."

She held it under the light and squinted to distinguish: "Daniel Charity Hospital, the name on the medical record is Xiaoyu."

Terauchi Kumiko: "Is it because Yumeng was sick and Dan saved her, so the witch was willing to help him to repay the favor?"

"I remember the report said that Yumeng's parents were ordinary workers." Xiaodao said, "Oh, she was also adopted."

"It should be a child born out of wedlock." Jian Jing said, "This is a scandal. In order to let her daughter grow up well, the witch entrusted her to a worker couple, but Yu Meng inherited the witch's magic power and knew some witchcraft, but she didn't learn it well and died. So I shouldn't be Dan's child, but he may know my life experience."

It's clear.

Next, it's time to search through the boxes.

A dozen people knocked and fiddled in a small room, and no matter how well-hidden the secrets were, they would be dug out.

A quarter of an hour later, the diary hidden under the floor was dug out.

All the secrets will be revealed.

As expected, the diary at the beginning describes the witch's own experience: she was deceived by a scumbag when she was young and unfortunately became pregnant. The tradition of Wu Village is that only unmarried women can be witches. After losing her virginity, the villagers did not allow her to stay in the village, so she had to leave her hometown.

The days of wandering outside were very sad. Fortunately, her daughter was safe and the mother and daughter depended on each other. However, when the child was three years old, she was diagnosed with a rare disease that required a large sum of money to treat.

The witch was desperate and almost jumped into the sea with her child. Who would have thought that she was not destined to die, and she met Dan, a philanthropist. Dan paid for her daughter's treatment and also developed a strong interest in witchcraft.

In order to repay her kindness, the witch agreed to work as a nanny in Dan's house. But considering the child's future, he couldn't bear to see her being called a fatherless bastard, so he entrusted her to a family to take care of her.

Many years passed, and Yu Meng somehow found out about her life experience, found her, and wanted to learn witchcraft, but she refused.

But Yu Meng didn't give up, stole one of her notebooks, and finally died tragically in the backlash.

She had nothing to live for, but Dan told her that Yu Meng had another daughter. She only persisted for the sake of her granddaughter whom she had never met.

Twenty years later, she was old and wanted to see her only relative.

Dan agreed verbally, but kept delaying until her granddaughter became the fiancée of the third son.

She begged Dan to treat her relatives well, but Dan proposed a deal: he could agree to the third son's marriage, but the witch must help him reincarnate.

The witch agreed.

She told Dan that the ritual of reincarnation required several necessary conditions:

1. The caster must sacrifice his life. Reincarnation is a forbidden technique, and the wizard who acts as a medium will be dragged into hell as the price of changing his fate. She is old, and as long as her granddaughter has no worries for the rest of her life, she will no longer have any worries and is willing to die for Dan.

2. The new container must have a blood relationship with Dan. Blood is the bridge of the soul. Only with the same blood can the soul reach the new body from the old body.

3. The spell must be cast at 0 o'clock every night.

4. The materials needed for the reincarnation technique are: Dan's blood, the blood of the new container, the altar, the bell at 0 o'clock, some yellow paper, cinnabar, and clay.

"As expected, a blood relationship is required." Everyone was not surprised by this. Instead, they were more concerned about the time. "The ceremony is at 12 o'clock, which is very demanding."

Kojima Shigeru asked, "If the ceremony is successful, what will happen to the original body?"

"It's written here. The old container will lose its soul and die naturally. The soul of the new container will not find a place to reside and will dissipate. The soul and spirit will be destroyed and will not fall into reincarnation."

Terauchi Kumiko took a breath and said, "How cruel."

"Too scary." Jin Lan'er rubbed her arms. "Blood relationship means family. How could Dan have the heart to do this?"

Andre: "So, is the murderer the container chosen by Dan?"

"It should be him. He didn't want to be replaced by Dan, so he killed Dan when they were fighting."

"Is it possible that it was the other way around? The ceremony was successful, he entered Dan's body, Dan killed himself, and disguised himself as someone now."

"It's possible."

Everyone returned to the meeting room while discussing.

Now that the clues are basically gathered, we can enter the final stage of reasoning.

Jian Jing held a cup of Coke, and the caffeine and sugar in her stomach made her mind clearer. She picked up a pen and wrote down the key words on the whiteboard.

The first body: Dan (cause of death: suffocation; time of death: 23:00-02:00)

The second body: the witch (cause of death: natural death; time of death: 22:00-01:00)

Reincarnation ritual: 0 o'clock, blood relationship, container

Was the ritual successful? A big question mark.

"Let me give you a brief summary. The question we are facing now is whether Dan's ritual was successful or not. Because death by suffocation could be his own fault, or it could be a natural death caused by an illness.

"If it was successful and there were no accidents, it would be very normal for 'Dan' to die of natural causes, and there would be no need to be beheaded or create mystery. So, if it was successful, there would have to be an accident. For example, the chosen person entered Dan's body, and a conflict arose between the two of them. Dan killed himself, and he couldn't be the murderer, so he beheaded himself and pretended. This requires us to find out who is now Dan.

"If it doesn't work, then the murderer is still me, and we just need to find out his identity."

Valeria asked: "Can we rule out some people now? Those who are not related by blood."

"No." Jian Jing said, "The container's relatives may also kill to protect him. It is also possible that the murderer does not know witchcraft at all and just wants to kill him, but it was an accident. It is not comprehensive to judge the suspect based on the motive."

She spoke with reason and evidence. The guests had already had ideas, and now they had to reconsider them.

But Park Minzhe said: "You have considered it very comprehensively, but from the current situation, witchcraft is the most likely direction, so I would like to share my views with everyone along this line of thought."

"Of course." Jian Jing returned to her seat and gave up the whiteboard.
