When Buzz saw Kevin's death, his face turned pale, and he leaned against the wall as if he was exhausted.

Zhou Bai looked at him and then lowered his eyes.

If Buz had such a reaction, then he should be a soft-hearted person in the first place.

However, those bows and arrows hit Kevin, and some of them pierced into the wooden cabinet.

It can be seen that when he set up these institutions, he had murderous intentions.

What made Buz set up these cruel mechanisms?

Zhou Bai turned his attention to the small door next to the stone staircase.

Perhaps, it is to protect more important people.

Zhou Bai tightened his grip on the ax in his hand.

What about himself? Why not?

The audience in Daxia Kingdom were all in front of the screen, nervously waiting for Zhou Bai's next response.

On Christmas Eve, the guests Zhou Bai invited to the party died in the castle.

It is conceivable that Zhou Bai will be subjected to a series of questions next.

He took a deep breath, and then quietly waited for the footsteps approaching behind him.

Jim was holding a chainsaw, and before anyone could get close to Zhou Bai, the sound had already reached him.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Then, he finally saw clearly what Kevin looked like now.

I couldn't stand firm and almost fell down the stairs.

"You... you, you killed him?

You actually killed someone?

I knew there must be something wrong in this castle.

My wife also died in this way, right?"

When someone died, Jim's first reaction was to question Zhou Bai, the owner of the castle.

Zhou Bai was also prepared for the next question.

He held the ax in front of him and turned to look at Jim coldly.

Jim's back felt cold, his body trembled, and he almost lost his balance again.

"You... do you want to kill someone and silence them?

I...I'm telling you, I'm not the only one here."

At this time, Jim saw the candy store owner coming down and quickly stood next to him.

The candy store owner looked at Kevin at the bottom of the stairs, then turned directly to look at Austin behind him.

Austin stepped out after stepping on the candle that was thrown to the ground.

Therefore, he became the second to last person to see Kevin's death.

He passed by the candy store owner, saw the other person looking at him, rolled his eyes at him first, and then walked directly to Kevin's body.

He looked around Kevin's body covered with bows and arrows.

After squatting down, he confirmed that the other party was really dead, then looked away, and then looked up at Zhou Bai.

"It's a little hard for me to explain it to you."

Butz looked nervous when he heard that the others seemed to be attacking Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai lowered his head, but soon put on an innocent expression.

"I just told Kevin not to touch the vase, did you all hear it?"

When Austin heard Zhou Bai's words, he burst out laughing again.

"If you say that, I know how to explain it."

Jim pointed at Austin and then at Zhou Bai.

"you you……"

He hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't even form a complete sentence.

I could only turn my head and look at the candy shop owner beside me.

Unexpectedly, she saw him and nodded directly.

"heard it."

Jim's eyes suddenly widened.

"You... you..."

He took a step back and pointed at the other four people who were looking at him.

At this time, he even began to feel that he was the one who had done something wrong.

Fortunately, at this time, the old mayor finally walked down from the upstairs with great difficulty.

Jim quickly went over to help him, and then stood beside him.

"Jim, help me go down and see Kevin."

So Jim helped the old mayor and came to Kevin's body.

He looked at Kevin and then said to Zhou Bai.

"Young man, Kevin died in your castle.

Logically speaking, you also need to bear certain responsibilities."

Jim felt that he finally heard what a normal person said and nodded quickly.

Zhou Bai walked to the side of the old mayor.

"Of course.

However, the wind and snow outside are too heavy now, so it is not suitable to transport his body.

This matter may have to wait until dawn before we can deal with it."

Jim looked out the window.

It was snowing heavily outside. Although it was not convenient to travel, it didn't seem to be as exaggerated as Zhou Bai said.

He was about to retort, but unexpectedly the old mayor secretly grabbed his hand and motioned him not to speak.

Jim couldn't react and was about to ask.

Then I heard the old mayor say to Zhou Bai.

"What you said makes sense. Now is really not the best time to deal with this matter."

Butz finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that things had calmed down.

Zhou Bai, on the other hand, smiled and said to the others present.

"I'm sorry that our dinner was interrupted due to some misunderstanding.

Well, how about we move to the restaurant together and continue our party?"

Faced with Zhou Bai's weird proposal, except for Jim who looked dumbfounded, everyone else actually nodded in agreement.

So, everyone followed Zhou Bai to the restaurant.

In the hall of the castle, there was a record on the retro gramophone, which was spinning almost silently.

The old mayor sat in his original seat and said to Zhou Bai.

"Where's the record you bought in my store? Why didn't you take it out and play it?"

Zhou Bai said to him with a smile.

"I originally wanted to play it, but the record player seems to be broken. It's such a pity."

The old mayor then said to him.

"oh?

Is it the gramophone in the hall?"

Zhou Bai nodded.

"What a coincidence. I happen to be able to repair that kind of gramophone."

When Zhou Bai heard this, he became wary.

"You are a guest, how can you be allowed to repair the machine?"

The old mayor had no intention of giving up at all.

"It's not difficult at all, it only takes a few minutes.

Everyone, keep eating.

Let’s go to the lobby and be back soon.”

After the old mayor finished speaking, he stood up with his own support.

Jim quickly wanted to stand up to help, but was pushed down by the old mayor.

Looking at his posture, he seemed to have something to say to Zhou Bai alone.

Zhou Bai thought for a moment, then stood up and walked towards the old mayor.

So, Zhou Bai supported him, and the two of them left the restaurant and walked towards the hall.

The old mayor was looking at the layout of the castle along the way.

It's just that the way he looks at the castle is different from Jim or Kevin's.

He looked more like he was recalling something through the interior of the castle.

Zhou Bai was thinking about whether he should take the opportunity to ask him for more information.

But I heard the old mayor suddenly ask.

"Do you know when the song "Jingle Bells" is going to be played?"

Zhou Bai shook his head.

"It's meant to be played when Santa Claus shows up."
