The Elder Scrolls: Celestial Dynasty

It was already getting dark, and the streets were getting more and more pedestrians.

The

man looked at her in surprise and replied, "You don't know this? This is the residence of the flower shop girl Pearl, who was killed more than half a month ago, and the butcher of the snowy night who is said to have done it, and her head has not been found." Because she lived here alone, the guards locked the house, but even if it wasn't locked, who would dare to go in? I heard that because of the injustice of death, the spirit of the Pearl Maiden has always been here, and sometimes in the middle of the night, strange noises can be heard..."

Aya listened to him and stood in front of the door thinking.

She was not afraid of whether there were resentful spirits in it, she remembered that time she went to the ancient tomb with Long Yun, they were even the ones who had cut down the ghouls, and when she thought that he had left the dawn to herself, Aya suddenly felt a trace of sweetness in her heart...

Phew, I think too much, the top priority is to catch the murderer.

She turned around and ran, and ran to the guard command post at the city gate in one breath, and saw the head of the guard, Mulan, standing outside the command post and talking to a middle-aged man in a robe.

"Aya, you came just in time, this is the soothsayer in the palace, he came to report to me the news about the murderer in the divination..."

"Yes, after divination, I found that the murderer lived in the city, and he was a perverted person, and he may have been stimulated by something, and when he encountered a snowy night, he would not be able to suppress the demon in his heart and come out to kill. I should have told the chief of the guard about this yesterday so that she could send more men on patrol... But unfortunately King Fu gave me another task yesterday, so I couldn't come in time... Hey—"

said the soothsayer, bowing his head slightly and sighing, as if he felt guilty for failing to prevent Cuihua's death.

Aya patted him sympathetically on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, we will catch him sooner or later."

She turned to Mulan and said, "Chief Guard, I have found some clues, I need to enter the house of the Frost Mansion, and I am here to get the key."

Mulan took the key and handed it to her, and advised: "Investigation is investigation, and you must also pay attention to your own safety!"

Aya patted the dawn on her waist and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this sword has slashed the ghouls." "

......

The door of the Frost House opened, and it was a two-story wooden building.

As soon as you enter, you can see the living room, which is dimly lit despite the fact that it is daytime, and several windows are boarded up, and light barely squeezes in through the cracks in the boards.

The living room was empty and barely furnished.

I don't know if it was the guards or Pearl before she died, but there were two cabinets against the wall, on which were a few tattered books and miscellaneous items.

Other than that, it's a heated fireplace, filled with burnt soot. The kitchen and utility room, like the living room, are clear at a glance and there is nothing suspicious.

Aya went up the stairs to the second floor, and the things in both bedrooms were emptied, not only the beds, but also the tables and chairs, not to mention Pearl's daily necessities.

Maybe after the accident, her relatives didn't dare to live in this house and moved everything away.

It's no wonder that it has become a legendary murderous mansion in people's mouths, and even if you want to sell it, it's not easy to sell.

Back in the living room, Aya looked through the books and miscellaneous items on the cupboard, and there was nothing to attract attention.

It was strange, the blood was gone when it dripped outside the door, and why was there no trace of it in the house? Could it be that it had been cleaned by the murderer?

She thought to herself, and leaned down and leaned her face to the floor, and examined it carefully by the faint light that came through the crack in the window.

Sure enough, the floor was wiped down and almost spotless, where did it look like it had been vacant for half a month?

There was an iron bar next to the fireplace that poked the ashes of the furnace, and she took it and pulled the soot from the stove with her hand, and when there was a loud bang, the iron bar seemed to touch some metal.

She

hurriedly threw down the iron bar, reached out and fumbled inside, and soon a golden amulet was pulled out of the ashes.

The amulet is exquisitely made, carved with some sacred motifs, and there are also several ruby sapphires set in it, which look very valuable. It's just that the amulet seems to have some gelatinous dark brown substance on it, and the ash is stuck to it.

Aya took the talisman and put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed, she immediately understood that it was stained with blood.

Maybe it was because when the Pearl Maiden was attacked, she desperately resisted, grabbed the amulet on the murderer's body with both hands and threw it into the ashes of the fireplace without anyone noticing... Does this explain make sense? It seems that we have to find out the origin of the amulet!
