“Tonight, we can quietly move their corpses to another place while nobody else is around. We’ll replace their corpses with two other corpses. Those corpses will be cremated in their place tomorrow morning.
“After that, we’ll secretly conduct autopsies on their bodies to find out the real cause of their deaths,” Xyla Quest said.
She believed there would definitely be traces of what was done before.
They would leave no stone unturned.
“Hmm,” Stanley Batton murmured.
“Oh, right. I also found these things in Emily’s room. Have a look. These are all weird symbols. Do you recognize them?” Xyla said before retrieving some of the Post-it notes with weird symbols written on them from the luggage next to her. She then handed the Post-it notes over to Ron Batton.
After seeing the contents of the Post-it notes, Ron and Stanley both looked confused.
Neither of them recognized what those symbols were.
“I don’t recognize it… This looks like a kind of script. It looks like an ancient form of text, but it’s not quite it…” Ron said.
“The wall in Emily’s room was covered with these things. I felt that we might find some clues from these things too… If only we could decipher them,” Xyla said.
“I’m afraid we might have to seek help from professionals…” Ron added.
“Also, the corpse of the servant who died after being jabbed by a poisonous needle is still being stored in the house. Master, I’ll have to trouble you to have a look with me. We need to find out what kind of poison that servant was inflicted with. I’ve never seen that kind of poison…” Xyla added.
“Okay,” Ron said.
“Perhaps, we might also find some clues from that servant’s corpse.” With that, Xyla stood up.
Ron and Stanley also stood up simultaneously.
