Wang's Diary

The Butler was very polite and caring to everyone, but he showed particular concern for the Young Master, far exceeding that for anyone else.

Not only did she secretly visit the Young Master, but she also specially prepared lunch for Wang. Their relationship must be more than just what it appears to be.

It seems we'll need to assign someone to keep a close eye on the Butler.

After following Wang for a day, Qin Rang overheard what he said to Kane and finally understood why Kane had brought that woman home—it was because of him.

While he was talking to Kane, Qin Rang used the "Three-Minute Intent of the Weird Object" technique, employing his three-minute invisibility ability, to reach the diary, open it, and take a look.

The first page neatly records certain times and places, along with some seemingly casually scribbled "observation notes" from the Young Master.

But these things are enough to prove that this Young Master is not as harmless as he appears.

Who keeps a diary if they're a decent person?

[In the morning, the Eldest Sister went to the Racetrack, soiled her clothes, and upon returning, punished every servant she encountered with five lashes.]

Kane met his lover at the bakery; it was probably the... fifteenth time they had met.

Darren and his older brother were having tea and reading together in his room this morning.

Besides these trivial matters, there were also some records that Qin Rang quite shocking.

[Matching up the Eldest Sister and Kane (Completed)]

[Let the Eldest Sister know Kane's and his lover's identities (Completed)]

[Testing the Eldest Sister's feelings for Kane (Incomplete)]

[Conditions for the new arrival of the Du'en Family to potentially instigate a schism (not yet met)]

[...]

Wang was recording everyone's life, and he knew everything about everyone's grudges. Qin Rang remembered the telescope in his room, and it matched the records in this notebook.

Qin Rang became increasingly alarmed as he read on. What were the Young Master's intentions in recording these events?

He deliberately stirred up conflict between Kane and the Eldest Miss, but he was also the Eldest Miss who brought Kane together!

Is Ke Wang now advising Kane to meet his lover and the Eldest Miss to escalate the conflict?

He doesn't gain any real benefit from doing these things, so why is he doing them?

Before the evening banquet began, everyone gathered together and shared their discoveries.

Many people didn't actually do anything special; the Eldest Miss remained domineering, Eldest Young Master was rigid and uncompromising. The Black Cat couldn't keep up with it at all and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Writer couldn't be found either. Mi Chuchu got lost after wandering around the Secret Chamber twice, and it An Ying who found her.

Even after sticking to Bai Yang Sheng Qingqiao didn't find much of value.

There have been some discoveries about Kane and Darren's two Illegitimate Son, but they're all related to their romantic relationships and not a big deal.

Bai Yang listened to their report and asked with suspicion, "What are you looking for a cat for?"

"I've seen it before, I'm just curious," Tao Yuan said. They couldn't very well say they also suspected the organization.

"Do you have a way to bring that Black Cat over?" Mi Chuchu, who had only seen the cat's shadow all morning, asked Bai Yang.

"What are you going to do?" Bai Yang asked warily.

"With this help, I don't have to worry about the gardening tasks at night," An Ying said.

"I see... It's not impossible to find a cat, but we need to prepare some things beforehand." Bai Yang asked Luo Jiayu, "You're a fish too, do you know how to make Dried Fish?"

Looking into Bai Yang's sincere and earnest eyes, Luo Jiayu felt a surge of very unpleasant memories being stirred up.

"... meeting."

The dinner ended unhappily as expected, and even though the group was prepared, it couldn't save them.

When Kane and the others' bodies were found, it was already nighttime in the Garden.

They followed procedure and delivered their bodies to the eerie creatures that roamed the night, thus averting the danger.

With Bai Yang's help, the group successfully met the Writer and the Black Cat, and temporarily won the Black Cat over with Dried Fish so that it would join them.

And so, they successfully made it through the second day, nipping any danger in the bud.

These days, they have focused on investigating the relationship between Wang and the Butler, as well as the past deeds of the Eldest Miss and the Eldest Young Master, and learned that the Butler is the person in the family who loves the Young Master the most.

The Eldest Miss once locked Wang in a dark, Secret Chamber, without giving him a key, food, or water. Wang groped his way out for a whole night before finally finding the exit.

But after they went outside, the Eldest Miss shone a bright light into his eyes, trying to blind him without any external injuries, so that she wouldn't have to worry about him seeing things he shouldn't see.

Unfortunately, she didn't succeed; Wang's eyes weren't blinded. But afterwards, Wang hated anything shiny, and she did indeed cause irreversible damage to his eyes.

The feud between the two dates back to their childhood.

It was from that time that Wang began to observe everyone around him and put on his current false mask.

On the morning of the third day, everyone gathered together again.

"An Ying, you go with Bai Ao. Your status here is second only to mine and Tao Yuan, so you can bring the Count and Countess back much faster," Qin Rang said. "It must be quick."

In the large room, everyone sat on the sofa in the center, while Bai Yang stood by the window, holding Puppet and looking downstairs.

The Black Cat curled up in its comfortable cat bed, its ears twitching slightly and its tail swaying gently.

Bai Yang asked doubtfully, "Is it really feasible? Even after bringing those two back, we still haven't figured out who the murderer was."

"Is it the Butler, or Wang? Or perhaps the Eldest Miss?"

After An Ying and Bai Ao left, Tao Yuan continued, "Now it's almost certain that the Young Master isn't uninterested in the title; he just prefers to work behind the scenes, sowing discord and making them kill each other."

"So, Sister Tao, you think the murderer is the Young Master?" Sheng Qingqiao asked.

"No, I think it was the Butler." Tao Yuan shook her head. "So many people died that day, Young Master was sitting right next to me; he didn't lift a finger."

Mi Chuchu agreed, "That makes sense."

"I think it's the Young Master." Qin Rang had a different reason. "The Young Master didn't kill anyone directly, but he did everything behind the scenes. He's the real culprit behind everyone's deaths."

Upon hearing this, Tang Pin asked, "But would the Young Master kill his parents? The Count and Countess are both dead."

These words silenced everyone. If it was for power, killing the Count and Countess would only bring trouble upon themselves; there was absolutely no need to take this extra risk.

If it weren't for power, the Young Master would have had no reason to kill the Count and Countess.

After all, it was the Eldest Miss who hurt him, and the Eldest Young Master who looked down on him; his parents hadn't treated him badly.

Wang himself was a Young Master, and had no reason to kill his own parents.

If it were discovered that he had murdered his parents, he would at least lose his title, and at worst, lose his life. Besides, he was already lying on the ground, wounded by an arrow.
