Right after entering his room, several male wizards in blue robes set foot on the second floor and immediately spread out into the rooms to check it out.
Each room was searched without leaving anything, even some questions were given to the guests. But no matter how much they checked and no matter how many questions they asked, they couldn't find a single clue.
How not, the suspect who is also the victim of the murder is a former agent. There was no way he would let himself be in danger. Because before acting, the girl had considered everything. About three hours and all the rooms at the lily's inn have been searched without remainder, at the same time the guests have also been permitted if they want to travel out of the inn or just wander around their rooms.

Third day at the lily inn.
The atmosphere inside the inn already looks normal as usual. There is no longer a fishy smell of blood, even the inn has been reopened as usual.
Fu Xie Lan who went through that scene of events still didn't show any expression. Even when her room was checked and received several questions regarding the murder, one of which was a question about the location of the place where she was before the incident, there was still no expression on her face. Remained calm as usual as if the girl had never done anything.
"Xie Lan, I'm suddenly curious about the murder. Said he was the owner of this inn?" Xue Ning chirped. At that time they were in a large room on the second floor, sitting and relaxing, waiting for Huang Bao to arrive who was said to be visiting them before leaving for the human race's territory.
Even though the atmosphere in the inn seemed normal, there were still occasional whispers from the people.
"I heard that the heart is missing," continued Xue Ning again with a look of horror on her face.
"Is it true?" asked Fu Xie Lan in such a calm tone
"Yes, true. I never even thought that it turns out that the man who greeted us when we first arrived at this inn was of mixed descent, vampire, and wizard."
"I've known it before you even set foot in your room to rest," said Wan Lie, both Xue Ning and Fu Xie Lan immediately turned to the young man, while Ju Xian was silent and listened.
"Huh?"
"How is that possible? Do you also know him, Xie Lan?" Xue Ning asked.
"I've never seen the appearance of the owner of this inn," replied Fu Xie Lan casually. She had never seen the person's appearance, except at night when she almost became his victim.
"Then how did you find out?" Xue Ning asked again turning to Wan Lie.
The one who was asked just shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't want to answer the girl's question.
"Never mind, it doesn't matter. At least none of us are suspects in the murder," Ju Xian joined in.
"Yeah, I just couldn't figure out what kind of person kills by pulling out another person's heart? Don't you think that person is terrible? No, he's crazy. Truly insane and heartless," Xue Ning squawked at length.
Ju Xian who heard Xue Ning's words smiled in his heart, Crazy? did that mean he could also categorize Xie Lan as a madman? His memories of the events at Noelle were still vivid in his head, especially when the pieces of bodies and internal organs of people of various races scattered across the floor right before his eyes.
While Fu Xie Lan, the corner of the girl's lips twitched faintly when she heard Xue Ning's chatter, and Hao who was curled up on the table at that time, his eyes moved to scan Xue Ning and Fu Xie Lan alternately. What kind of expression would Xue Ning have when she found out that the person she had just talked about was sitting leisurely with her?
"Ju Xian is right, let it be the business of the people in this inn," said Fu Xie Lan confirming the man's words. To be honest, her mind is currently filled with the Ruby Star Stone.
Today, according to her plan she already had to leave for the human race. But until now, she still didn't know what the Elf race's heirloom looked like. If they departed with minimal knowledge, wouldn't that be a waste of time? This time, the girl hoped that her teacher would bring them some hints regarding the thing.
"Hmm, alright Xie Lan. I just feel a little sorry for this innkeeper," Xue Ning replied with a sigh.
"By the way where is Elder Huang Bao? Why is it taking him so long?" she added.
And at the same time, the person she had just mentioned his name appeared from behind was climbing the stairs and walking towards the table they were at.
"Were you guys waiting for me earlier?"
"No, Master. We too have just gathered in this room."
"Sit down please, Master," Fu Xie Lan continued.
"Thanks, I thought you guys were already leaving."
After sitting on the chair, Huang Bao then reached into his trouser pocket and took out a red velvet box, placing it on the table.
"What is it, Master?" asked Fu Xie Lan with one eyebrow furrowed.
"Voltex."
"Voltex?" Xue Ning repeated a name that sounded so strange to her ears.
Huang Bao nodded, "Take this, little Xie Lan."
"This will help you find the ruby star stone."
"Really? Where is Teacher..."
"Don't ask me where I found it."
After saying that, Huang Bao let out a ragged breath then laughed, and it managed to confuse those.
"That elder... Hahaha." Huang Bao's laughter came back before he even finished his sentence.
Seeing the old man's behavior, no one interrupted or asked anything, they all just kept quiet and waited for the Elder to calm down and continue his sentence.
"Elder Chen.... just a moment ago, I wrestled with him," he began and then laughed again.
"Teacher fought with Elder Chen?"
Hearing Fu Xie Lan's question, Huang Bao nodded firmly. His laughter had subsided but there was still water left in the corners of his eyes.
"Yes, I asked something about the Ruby Star Stone until he showed it to me," explained the Elder with his chin pointed at the red velvet box in Fu Xie Lan's hand.
"Seeing that thing, I immediately took it without asking for it, of course, the old man didn't let it go, and the fight was unavoidable, hahaha."
"I took it without asking because I already knew that Voltex couldn't be given to me for free. So I invited him to fight, hahaha."
Xue Ning and Ju Xian silently gaped at the old man. This was the first time he had seen such an eccentric old man.
"Is Elder Chen injured, Master?" Fu Xie Lan asked Huang Bao.
"Doesn't your question sound a little cruel? You should have asked me that first.
