“Did you find anything?”

Roderick, who had been waiting at the exit of the secret door, was slightly relieved to see Annan’s safe and sound return, but did not forget to immediately inquire about the situation.

“Unfortunately, there are no major discoveries.”

Annan spent less than five minutes checking in the basement, though he didn’t think there was anything worth studying, and his feelings were unresponsive.

“I have some ideas, but I can’t be sure now, anyway, wait for news from Mr. Detective.”

“Is it? I understand.

Roderick nodded.

Since the inspired teenager didn’t find anything, he probably didn’t find it.

“Then let’s place it here first, as for what to do with those corpses below… I’m going to think about it first.

Roderick couldn’t have allowed the bodies of the members of the family to be exposed here, but he wouldn’t be able to place them for a while.

He needed time to think about it, and it was time to continue exploring the rest of the mansion.

Annan and Roderick leave the utility room where the secret door is located and search the other rooms.

They checked everything on the first floor in about ten minutes, and there was nothing else worth paying attention to except for the utility room.

Then they went up to the second floor.

“Go to Trinidad first. Nares’s room, maybe there is something there.

Annan noticed that the companion next to him was now directly calling the godfather’s full name, and the other party was obviously a little unaccustomed to it, but he still forced himself to use this name.

What is the state of mind of this vampire youth, Annan is not the other party himself, and he will not pretend to understand the other party, but it is obvious that this vampire is forcing himself.

Annan didn’t know how to comfort the other party, let alone that he was the murderer of the godfather, and some words were really difficult to say.

He thought that it would be better to let the professor of magic or Mr. Detective enlighten the other party in the future.

“No lock…”

Roderick hurried to the former owner’s room of the mansion, and then opened the unlocked door.

This master bedroom is designed into two sections, one for office and filled with various bookcases and books, and on the left there is a door leading to the bedroom.

Roderick came to his desk and began to examine what was inside.

The drawers of the desk are locked, but it is very simple to break it, anyway, no one can manage it now, just smash the lock directly.

After Roderick violently broke the lock of the drawer, he took out all the contents and began to examine them one by one.

On the other side, Annan came to a large oil painting of Trinidad. Nares’s serious face.

“Hmm…”

According to his own instincts, Annan rudely and forcibly ripped off the oil painting that seemed to be nailed to the wall.

Then, as expected, he saw a dark compartment, and a safe in the dark compartment.

Of course, the safe is locked, and Annan can’t know the password, but he doesn’t need to know it, just destroy it.

Before using violent means, Annan checked the safe a little, this wheel-type password safe should not have any external mechanism or trigger an automatic alarm.

“If it’s okay, then just open it.”

Annan put his hand in front of the password lock of the safe, and then released the black snake on his hand, breaking through the safe.

Hearing the movement here, Roderick, who was immersed in reading various documents, raised his head.

Roderick naturally didn’t know about this safe hidden behind the painting, even if he grew up in this large mansion, he had not been to this master room a few times.

“Did you find anything?”

Annan had successfully opened the safe by this time and was rummaging through the contents.

“Yes, there is an interesting discovery.”

Annan walked over with a black-and-white photo.

He keeps the picture on his desk.

“Look at this man.”

Roderick looked down and saw that it was a solo photo.

In the photo, he saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

“…… Alexis. Nares?

“No, there is a date behind this photo, it’s more than forty years ago.”

Annan flipped the black and white photograph to reveal the date written in pen on the back of the photo.

“I don’t think this date is fake, this should be the date this photo was taken.”

“But if it’s a picture from more than forty years ago, then why is Alexis there?”

Roderick couldn’t help but frown.

“Isn’t the answer simple? It’s not Alexis on the photo. Nares.

Annan flipped the photo again and looked down at the youth on the photo.

“This is your grandfather, this is Trinidad. Nares.

“This…”

Instantly perceiving some kind of possible Roderick, the whole person froze unnaturally.

“Looks like you found out too.”

Annan nodded up and down.

“Alexis. Nares, if nothing else, should he be your grandfather’s clone, or should he be called a clone?

“The witch of gold…”

Perhaps it was something related to the person he respected the most, and Roderick’s head became extremely flexible at this time.

“That’s exactly what Antonio said… The White Knight will come to this city to investigate the Golden Witch and the Abyss Order…”

“Yes, although we don’t know if the Golden Witch and the Abyss Order have a cooperative relationship, it seems that there should be now.”

Annan actually had some speculation about this matter before he found this photo.

In short, his intuition again.

And now, there is a piece of evidence to confirm this intuition.

“Your grandfather, Trinidad. Nares should have cooperated with the Abyss Order, and then the Abyss Order had a relationship with the golden witch, and through this layer of indirect relationship, your grandfather obtained the help of the golden witch and used the black magic of the golden witch to create a doppelgänger of his own, a clone.

“Grandfather… Trinidad. Narez said that he was disappointed in us, because none of our descendants inherited his bloodline…”

Roderick muttered absently.

“I originally thought, Alexis. Nares was the only one to inherit his bloodline, but this was not the case, Alexis was not his illegitimate son … So, so…”

“Alexis. Nares, Trinidad. Nares was the same person from beginning to end, at least genetically.

Annan spoke for Roderick.

“Trinidad. Nares used black magic to create another self, so Alexis. Nares has the same Warlock bloodline, and your grandfather used dark magic to gain a true successor, so he will abandon you. ”
