Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

"I suspect that the identity activated by Lisa is the victim we are in now, Alena Marshall, in the plot of the novel "Crime Under the Sun"!"

Luo Ke briefly and concisely told Jiang Lai and Yun Wanjia the general plot of the novel "Crime Under the Sun", and also told what he had just seen on the balcony.

"Well, so to speak, currently we are all in other people's plot world. Only Li Sha is in her own plot world." Jiang Lai said.

However, they are not yet clear about the difference between staying in someone else's plot world and entering their own plot world.

With no way to obtain useful clues for the time being, they not only enjoyed enough food, beautiful scenery, cool sea breeze and leisurely time, but also ensured adequate rest.

That night, they went to Zhao Xingyu's room together.

When they opened the door and entered the room, they were surprised to find that the room was empty and Zhao Xingyu was not here.

And that room still maintained its original appearance without any changes.

"Could it be that... the scene change only targets the deceased, that is, the dead player Wu Nuo?" Jiang Lai tried to analyze.

"In that case, we should go to Wu Nuo's room to see what's going on." Luo Ke nodded.

"Let's go and take a look first."

……

The three of them went to Wu Nuo's room and opened the door as usual, but found that the situation in this room was the same as that in Zhao Xingyu's room, without any changes.

The three of them exchanged glances with each other.

This... situation is different from what they encountered when they came out last night!

I don’t know what exactly caused the accident to happen.

The three of them walked through the entire Pirate Ship Hotel and found nothing out of the ordinary.

They had to go back to sleep.

The next day, just after dawn, Jiang Lai was woken up by a scream.

"Huh? What's wrong? Could it be that something happened again?" She jumped up and said while pushing Luo Ke.

"No way?" Luo Ke frowned and yawned, "Didn't we go out together last night? There was nothing unusual in the whole hotel that made us feel anything unusual."

"Anyway, let's go check out the situation first." Jiang Lai said as he stood up.

She has a very good ability to identify the location of sounds, and she can clearly distinguish that the place where the scream came from is not inside the pirate ship hotel, but outside!

Luo Ke nodded to Jiang Lai in agreement and woke up Yun Wanjia who was still sleeping.

It's great to meet Advisor Jiang in this dungeon.

With several of her friends here, they don't have to schedule a night watch and can rest peacefully at night.

The three of them went downstairs as quickly as possible.

This time, it was not the players but the NPCs who screamed.

The NPC, like the player, is a guest who came to the island to visit and stayed in the hotel.

This guest has a habit of going for a morning run on the wooden plank road by the seaside at dawn, bathing in the morning light and blowing the sea breeze.

Early this morning, he got up for a morning jog as usual, but was surprised to find a body lying under a coconut grove not far away!

It was the body of a man.

Because of the high tide of the sea, his body was stained with a lot of sediment.

If it hadn't been for being discovered by an NPC who happened to be out for a morning jog, maybe even the body of that unlucky guy who died on the beach would have been swept away by the waves before long.

Jiang Lai secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he stepped on the sand and walked towards the place where the body was.

Fortunately, the NPC came out for a morning jog.

Otherwise, wouldn't they be very likely to miss a valuable clue?

Jiang Lai, Luo Ke, and Yun Wanjia walked to the coconut grove and took a look. They found that the deceased was the player Zhao Xingyu who had been stimulated by Shenshen Natao during the day yesterday and seemed to have lost his mind and went crazy.

"Huh?! This is?!"

Jiang Lai and the other three noticed the traces on the beach near the body at a glance.

It was a row of footprints.

Very strange footprints.

That series of footprints were not those of a man or a woman, but... those left by a dog.

Jiang Lai himself also keeps dogs and has kept them for a long time.

She was absolutely unmistakable about this.

However, the series of footprints left on the beach are completely different from those of ordinary dogs.

It looks huge!

Jiang Lai’s dog Dong Gua is a German Shepherd with a standard build, and is already a large dog breed.

However, the row of canine footprints that appeared on the beach were three to four times the size of the winter melon footprints!

If you don’t consider the shape and just look at the size, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it is a footprint left by a bear’s paw!

Seeing these footprints, Luo Ke, who has a deep understanding of various crime novels, couldn't help but frown.

"I know which novel this corresponds to." Locke frowned and said: "This novel is very famous, called "The Hound of the Baskervilles", written by the famous mystery novelist Arthur Conan Doyle in 1901. -A novella written between 1902."

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows.

This time, without Luo Ke's popular science, even she knew the novel.

Because it's so famous.

"The Hound of the Baskervilles" is a classic story in "The Detectives of Sherlock Holmes".

Jiang Lai, Luo Ke, and Yun Wanjia exchanged glances with each other.

No wonder they didn't find anything unusual when they ran from the first floor to the third floor in the hotel last night.

It turns out that the corresponding plot of the novel actually happened outside the hotel.

Jiang Lai always felt that it was not a good sign for this kind of thing to happen.

Maybe this means that the scope of influence of novel scenes has expanded.

"It seems that the target we need to solve tonight is the big devil-like hound, and the murderer behind it who controls it, that is, Mr. Stapleton." Jiang Lai said.

While the three of them were talking, Mrs. Castle came in a hurry.

Probably because she was still sleeping when she received the notice. She was still wearing a white nightgown, a woolen shawl, and a pair of slippers. When she was running towards the coconut grove, she fell on the On the beach.

She climbed up with the help of two NPC hotel employees, staggered, and ran towards this side.

When she saw the corpse lying on the ground clearly, she couldn't help but be frightened so that her face turned pale and pale with shock, and she said with regret: "Oh my God! It turned out to be Mr. Henry!"
