Identifying the Culprit

All Under Heaven Returns to Fire had no skill?

Zhang Yuanqing's expression turned grave. With All Under Heaven Returns to Fire's intelligence, there was no way he could have missed the hint.

That meant he truly had no skill!

Could it be that not every character possessed a skill? Only special characters did?

The first two to possess skills were Mage Dong and Daniel, and both were suspects. The last suspect was the Werewolf, yet there was no clue in All Under Heaven Returns to Fire's room pointing to David being the Werewolf.

In other words, only the three suspects had character skills. All Under Heaven Returns to Fire—David—was not the Werewolf, so he had no character skill.

That line of reasoning was logically consistent, but it conflicted with the result of the planchette divination.

Think about it: if only the three suspects possessed character skills, indirectly confirming that the three suspects were special, then the murderer had to be among them.

But the planchette divination had revealed the letter "d." The names containing "d" were Daniel, David, and Mage Dong.

If David was the Werewolf, then both the logic of the three suspects and the divination's revelation were correct.

Zhang Yuanqing was suddenly at a loss for words. "If only Guan Ya hadn't died."
