Chapter 300

"I can't help but complain," Raven muttered from the side.

"Speaking of which, the murderer is someone else, isn't there? This isn't a locked room."

Raiden Mei observed her surroundings, scanning everyone present before analyzing the situation.

The moment the words were spoken, the villa's alarm system went off, and the cold iron gate slammed shut, sealing the entire room.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward, with everyone's eyes fixed on Raiden Mei.

"Ahem, so what if it's a locked room? At worst, we'll just be locked up here. Is there any danger to our lives?"

As soon as Raiden Mei finished speaking, a hidden compartment in the floor suddenly opened, revealing a pile of time bombs inside.

And time is already ticking away, second by second.

"So what if it explodes? We have the powers of Herrscher anyway, I think..."

"Okay, stop, stop talking!"

Kiana and Fu Hua quickly covered Raiden Mei's mouth, afraid that she would say another word.

Meanwhile, Rita found the key to unlocking the secret room.

A collector hangs on a pillar next to the stairs; simply enter the killer's name to deactivate the bomb.

"Actually, I think as long as they don't kill us, we don't need to worry about it. They'll just blow a hole in the villa, and then we can slip away."

"That makes sense, that makes sense."

The three S-rank Valkyrie exchanged glances and nodded.

"Hey, you bunch of bastards! This is my villa, so get on with finding the murderer!" Raven roared from the side.

"But this case is truly outrageous; I haven't found a single clue so far."

"Yes, yes, it's truly a mystery that has stood the test of time!"

Fu Hua and Kiana squatted beside Otto's corpse, frowning and tapping their chins, racking their brains for a long time but still at a loss.

Otto's corpse was now covered in weapons— Black Abyss White Flower, the Oath of Judas, Raven's hidden weapons, and Rita's scythe...

This is truly a mystery that has stood the test of time!

"Puff..."

The Chat Group was silent and quiet, but a sudden burst of laughter broke the silence, and the atmosphere quickly became uncontrollable.

Otto: "Laugh if you want, don't worry about my feelings."

Kiana: "Pfft~ Hahahaha."

Theresa: "Pfft~ Hahahahaha."

Elysia: "Pfft~ Sorry, sorry, as a lady I shouldn't be laughing at this time, but I just can't help it!"

Pardofelis: "Hahaha, Hua, the way you're talking about the most unsolved mysteries of the ages with such a serious expression is just too funny, hahaha."

Pardofelis lay on the ground clutching her stomach, laughing so hard she almost couldn't breathe.

Elysia also laughed until tears streamed down her face.

Fu Hua: "Uh, is it really that funny?"

As a victim whose reputation has been damaged, Fu Hua is not so happy.

Chapter 489 Are You Schicksal a Gang?

Loud laughter echoed throughout the Chat Group, making Fu Hua feel noisy and out of place in this world.

After planting the Spring No Old on Mount Tai Xu and raising chickens, her image in the eyes of her colleagues seemed to have taken a bizarre rollercoaster ride.

Theresa: "Cough cough, not funny, not funny."

Cang Xuan: "Immortal, I remember you told us before that you used to be a detective in London. You didn't solve cases like this, did you?"

Danzhu: "Chi Yuan, are you sure you won't cause a wrongful conviction?"

Fu Hua: "Ahem! Slander, pure slander! In London, I'm known as [Fu Holmes], the embodiment of justice and righteousness, the enemy of evil!"

Elysia: "Really?"

It's no wonder Elysia was suspicious; Fu Hua was blatantly lying. That line from the show, "The Mystery of the Ages," was just too captivating.

It's like Fu Hua is playing herself.

Fu Hua: "Really, you can ask Otto if you don't believe me!"

The Detective of the Foggy City, Valkyrie: Swift Feather.

Unless Otto deliberately deleted it, Schicksal's database still contains her identity file, as well as Fu Hua's great achievements in London back then.

Otto: "The Immortal Crimson Bird is certainly fair."

Pardofelis: "I knew it! Hua would never fabricate a wrongful conviction."

Fu Hua: "We Valkyrie should do just that."

The Immortal Crimson Bird breathed a sigh of relief; at least the rumors of her fabricating a false case had been clarified, and she had successfully salvaged her image in the eyes of the Flame-Chasers.

In the scene, Fu Hua and Kiana are squatting beside Otto's body, meticulously examining the crime scene and not letting go of any clue.

"Haven't you found the killer yet? I've even prepared the background music for you."

Durandal carried the speaker into the hall and placed it heavily on the ground.

Durandal pressed the stereo switch, playing the soundtrack from the famous detective novel. The leisurely sound of executions echoed in the room, along with the recordings left behind by Otto.

"Valkyrie who have come here, I am Otto..."

Bishop Otto's voice came through the tape recorder, attracting Kiana's attention.

Kiana walked over and asked, "Why is Otto's voice coming from up there?"

"Oh, the original cassette tape seemed to have included Bishop Otto's recording, but my phone was out of battery, so I recorded the background music instead," Durandal explained.

"Then we need to erase the original sound. I'll do it, I'll do it."

Kiana volunteered and immediately started working on the tape recorder.

Otto's voice continued, "The reason I asked you to come here is because I suspect someone wants to kill me. That person is..."

--Click.

As Kiana pressed the button, Otto's original recording was completely deleted, leaving only the background music from "The Great Detective".

At this moment, Fu Hua was still examining the clues on the ground. "As expected, there are no clues at all. This is truly a mystery that has been solved for centuries!"

"Wait, isn't this a death message?"

Kiana suddenly noticed that green blood was flowing from Otto's fingers, and behind that was the death message that Otto had written before he died.

The Valkyrie immediately gathered around and looked at the message Otto had left behind.

The next second, the Valkyrie grabbed their weapons and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Otto's corpse.

"That bastard! He deserves to die so badly, what was he thinking writing that piece of nonsense?!"

"There's no other way; we have to use our ultimate move."

Fu Hua pushed up her glasses and said mysteriously.

"That's the ultimate move I used in London, of course."

"Oh?"

Kiana raised an eyebrow, quite surprised that the class monitor had such a hidden trick up her sleeve.

Fu Hua raised a finger and said, "That's it. Let's just guess one. We can fill in the logic later."

How many wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice did you cause back then?!

Kiana couldn't help but yell.

Fu Hua turned around and pointed at Raven, who was watching the show from the sidelines. "You're the murderer!"

"Because Durandal and the others are unlikely to be the culprit, the headmistress has no motive, Kiana and Mei are both good kids, and I'm not the murderer, so it must be you!"

Raven raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, what's your true feeling?"

"We're all Valkyrie of Schicksal, we'll run into each other all the time, it's not good to offend you. Anyway, you're from World Serpent, who else should we target if not you?"

Fu Hua crossed her arms with an air of self-righteousness.

"Damn it, are you Schicksal a gang?" Raven roared.

"You, who used an entire city as an experiment, have no right to say that!"

Kevin: "..."

Raven: "Damn it! Fu Hua, aren't you Thirteen Flame-Chasers? How come you're acting like a thug, with methods even more ruthless than mine, a legitimate mercenary?!"

Pardofelis: "Hua, what you're doing is a bit..."

Elysia: "I never expected this, I never expected that after Fifty Thousand Years, Fu Hua, the honest one among the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, would have become like this?"

Elysia sighed and rubbed her forehead.

It was so embarrassing that the Thirteen Flame-Chasers lost face, and all of them turned their Flame-Chasers away, indicating that they did not recognize this scoundrel Fu Hua.

Fu Hua: "Innocent! I'm innocent!"

It's over. Fu Hua never imagined that her lifelong reputation would be ruined like this.

Oh, it seems they already lost face back when they scammed Herrscher of Sentience.

The problem is, she really didn't do that this time!

While in London, she was a model of diligence in solving cases, never letting any murderer escape justice.

Otto: "Old friend, I can't help you this time."

Fu Hua: "Sigh."

Life is tough; even immortals sigh.

To prove her innocence, Fu Hua is considering whether to ask Bronya for help in hacking into Schicksal's database and finding her file as the Fog City Swift Feather.

[In the scene, Raven stands in the dock, pointing at Fu Hua in her defense.]

"According to the formula of detective novels, the initial suspect is usually not the culprit! So, precisely because you all suspect me, I am no longer a suspect!"

"On the contrary, Fu Hua, because the detective is the least suspicious, you are the most suspicious!"

Fu Hua and Raven locked eyes, their gazes exploding in a powerful burst of light.

"Hurry up and decide who the prisoner is! This execution background music can't be replayed."

Durandal operated the radio and spoke from the side.

"The real culprit is you, Durandal!"

Fu Hua and Raven, who were originally at odds, suddenly joined forces and turned their attention to Durandal.

"I?"

Durandal pointed to her face, her innocent-looking large eyes wide as saucers.

"That's right! Because you were dissatisfied with Otto for not paying your wages, so you killed him!"

At this moment, Rita replaced Durandal's original position, manipulating the radio's background music and adjusting it to the scene of the execution.

Chapter 490 They're All Murderers

Rita, you!

Durandal looked on incredulously when he heard Rita playing execution background music.

"Isn't this fun, Lady Durandal?"

"Then you're the murderer! You stayed by my side, using your identity to clear your name, which is why you're the prime suspect!"

You are the murderer!

You are the murderer!
