Qianyuan: My crew comes from the world of anime.

"..."

Unable to come to a conclusion through further thought, Luo Tianming had no choice but to begin searching for the 'murder weapon'.

The wound in Beethoven's left ear was undoubtedly fatal, and it was caused by something very sharp and hard.

Suspicious objects include: military knives, bayonets, any sharpened awls, and screwdrivers.

"..."

He encouraged everyone to brainstorm and see if there was anything he had overlooked.

Missionary: "Forgive my ignorance, but I really can't imagine these things used to take people's lives."

Bach offered a guess: "Could it be an ice axe?"

Luo Tianming shook his head: "No, the wound is very clean inside. If it were an ice axe, there would be a serrated wound inside."

"Besides, it's too scary to carry an ice axe. Ever since the Trotsky incident, anyone would be afraid to take that thing out rashly."

"..."

Then, Nan Mengya offered a new idea: "Captain, do you think there might be anything we've overlooked?"

"For example, those things that everyone is used to in daily life, but are not regarded as murder weapons?"

"..."

Her suggestion was indeed constructive, but none of the people present were murder experts, and they couldn't think of any ideas for the time being.

Just as everyone was about to go and confirm the information with the other two who were not present, a somewhat hurried voice came from Luo Tianming's communication device.

Lucy: [Captain, I suggest you go check on the others first. It seems something bad has happened again.]

That Schubert, once he entered the room, also never came out again.

"!"

Chapter 117 New Victims

He was taken aback when he received the news.

To be honest, Luo Tianming had just narrowed down his suspicions to someone who was 'not currently present,' and then that person had an accident?

"..."

I don't think I have the "death god elementary school student" constitution that causes a bunch of people to die wherever I go, do I?

Luo Tianming pursed his lips and casually mentioned:

"Speaking of which, with such a big incident, is there anyone who hasn't been here yet?"

"..."

The missionary remained silent, while Bach's gaze wandered.

Luo Tianming: "So much time has passed, haven't you sent anyone to Schubert to inform him?"

“He had a bad temper,” the missionary revealed the truth. “Every time we saw him, Schubert would gather a group of women and lock them in a room to serve him.”

"[Schubert] hates being disturbed, especially when he's aroused... If he's disturbed, he'll immediately strangle the woman in front of him and enjoy her pained expression to reach his climax."

"In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, we often let them enjoy themselves until the very last moment, so that the woman can still survive."

Luo Tianming: "..."

This is insane! The one who really deserves to die is this guy.

He shook his head and said, "Aren't you surprised? What time is it now? With such a big thing happening, aren't you curious why there's such a commotion outside? He should have come over by now."

Bach: "You don't suspect Schubert is the murderer, do you?"

Luo Tianming: "It's hard to say whether he's the murderer... but something's definitely not right."

The missionary said, "In that case, let's send someone over to let him know that the 'concert' has started early. That way, he shouldn't be too angry."

Although Luo Tianming felt it was pointless, he stayed there and waited with them.

……

After a while, the messenger returned and shook his head regretfully: "No, there's no response from inside."

Receiving almost the same response as Lucy, Luo Tianming shrugged and said, "See, even this kind of news can't get him to come out."

Missionary: "This is indeed a bit strange..."

[Bach]: "That's the kind of person he is, no matter what happens, he's always immersed in his own world."

Luo Tianming didn't want to wait any longer, so he immediately said, "Then I'll go and drag him out."

"Can!"

Neither Bach nor the missionaries seemed to want to mess with Schubert, that freak.

“I’ll take full responsibility for anything that happens…” he said as he walked. “If anyone dares to kill someone openly on my turf, I’ll smash their skull off.”

"Team Leader Nan... Assistant Nan, come with me!"

Like a canary, she immediately saluted and said, "Yes, sir!"

Similarly, Luo Tianming said without turning around, "What are you all standing there for? If you don't come with me, you'll probably accuse me of being the murderer again..."

The missionary and Bach had no choice but to follow.

When they arrived at the door of Schubert's room, the guard outside immediately said to Luo Tianming:

"New sir, there's still no reply from inside. Perhaps it's best not to disturb him..."

As soon as Luo Tianming approached the door, he heard a high-pitched female scream.

Luo Tianming: "Is it often like this inside?"

Guard: "Uh..."

Luo Tianming: "I understand. What about Schubert's voice?"

Guard: "Occasionally, but the master always hurls insults."

"But so much time has passed, and there hasn't been a sound at all?"

Faced with Luo Tianming's question, the guard remained silent.

Luo Tianming turned to the person behind him and said, "Did you hear that... I've never been here before, and the only people inside are women."

Both Bach and the missionary looked rather grim... If they pried open the door but Schubert wasn't inside, then the prime suspect would fall on him.

Bang-!

Luo Tianming kicked the door open effortlessly.

However, the scene inside surprised him... not because someone was not there, but because Schubert was lying 'well' in bed.

To his surprise, the scene on the bed was as follows: a dozen beautiful women were serving the man in the middle, all naked. There was also a petite woman with an unusually voluptuous figure who was straddling the man, her legs tightly wrapped around his body, and she was lying on Schubert's body with a fawning expression, shaking her waist vigorously.

Nan Mengya: "What happened?"

Her eyes were covered by Luo Tianming's hand; this scene was inappropriate for a child and not suitable for JK to see.

Bach, who followed in, was also dumbfounded. He said righteously, "Schubert, what are you doing! Stop right now!"

Unexpectedly, the woman straddling him did not stop; instead, she began to move dramatically as if bouncing on him.

His penis, swollen like a purple eggplant, kept thrusting into her secret garden... Soon the woman couldn't hold on any longer and came. She lay down and apologized to [Schubert], and then the next person took over: a woman covered in scars took over.

Bach finally couldn't stand it any longer and was about to rush forward... but Luo Tianming grabbed him:

"Don't go, it's too late."

【bach】:"?"

The second woman also quickly climaxed, and then a voluptuous mature woman took the stage... [Schubert] remained unfazed.

In this absurd scene, Luo Tianming covered Nan Mengya's eyes and ears with his hands and said, "Can't you see? The flush on those guys' faces is abnormal. The room is full of volatile stimulants."

"And that guy stood there motionless, without even making a move to respond... he was actually already dead."

"..."

[Bach] opened his mouth wide, making a dry sound like bubbles bursting.

Then, he roared like a lion: "This is impossible!!"

"how so!!"

Soon, screams began to rise—the women gradually realized that they were serving a 'corpse'.

…………

Only after all the women had escaped did Luo Tianming allow Nan Mengya to catch up with them, try to appease them as much as possible, and try to extract some information from them.

Luo Tianming looked at the bed again:

That was Schubert's corpse, long since devoid of gentlemanly manners, completely naked, his eyes wide open before death, his face pale and bluish, his body unusually stiff.

Luo Tianming touched his cheek; the muscles were completely stiff…it looked like rigor mortis that only appears 12 hours after death.

At the same time, he also noticed that there seemed to be an abnormal distribution of blood vessels in the whites of Schubert's eyes... It would be too much to say that it was caused by stimulants.

In addition, a barely noticeable black line stood out starkly against the dense network of blood vessels...

Luo Tianming wondered: Could it be poison?

Chapter 118 Attacks

Just in case, Luo Tianming first collected a small amount of blood and had it sent to the Nautilus for Dr. Wu Jianmiao to test.

Secondly, just like with Beethoven, the scene should be properly preserved, and the temperature inside the cabin should be lowered to prevent the body from decomposing too quickly.

Then came the suppression of the news to prevent people from knowing that, in addition to Beethoven, another prominent figure from the sect had died.

If this continues, this 'concert' will be completely ruined.

"..."

For some reason, he felt that Schubert's cause of death seemed somewhat familiar... as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

Luo Tianming immediately spoke into the communication device:

"Lucy, can you help me find out how Franz Schubert died in history?"

A lazy voice came from Lucy's end: "Okay... let me see. Historically, the official account of Schubert's death is that he died of 'typhoid fever,' so what?"

Luo Tianming: "No, it's slightly different from what I expected."

He originally thought that this Schubert seemed to have died from the same cause as the historical Schubert, which is why he wanted to confirm this.

Although, historically, Beethoven did not die from deafness.

Lucy: "Wait... no, that's not right."

She suddenly called out to Luo Tianming.

"There seem to be many unofficial accounts—it appears that Schubert had syphilis, a disease in the 19th century that, while not immediately fatal, could plague one for life."

"Towards the end of Schubert's life, he suffered greatly from syphilis and appeared to have been treated with a considerable amount of mercury-containing medications. In the final stages of his life, he showed many signs of mercury poisoning..."

Luo Tianming: "..."

Now it seems like everything is connected...

He walked straight outside, looking at Bach and the missionary who seemed somewhat incredulous.

He then revealed his conjecture: "The Schubert and the previous Beethoven may have been committed by the same person."

"!"

Everyone was shocked to hear this news.

[Bach]: "Really... I don't believe it!?"

"How...how could Schubert have died?"

"This is completely illogical!"

Luo Tianming: "I already have some guesses... The murderer who killed these two people seems to have a tendency to make the deceased related to the musician code names they chose in life as much as possible."

"Beethoven died from a penetrating wound to his left ear, while Schubert died in a woman's bed. The possibility of poisoning cannot be ruled out at present, but once confirmed, it will be certain that he was linked to syphilis and mercury poisoning."
