Star Trace Gate

Villa, in the lobby on the second floor.

The old cadre, Xiao Shuai, Brother Hong, and that ordinary woman all jumped up and looked at their father when they heard Ren Ye's response.

"This... so you found a solution?"

"Did you really find a way to crack the murder chamber?"

"Say it, say it, say it...!"

These four men were like mad dogs. They surrounded Ren Ye and the others in an instant, and asked them questions with veins bulging in their necks.

Ren also considered that he would have to introduce the project to Tan Pang in the future, so he chose to provide him with emotional value: "I set the price. Please let the captain describe the details."

"Cough cough."

Fatty Tan coughed twice, and then said, "I say, we are all well-known third-rank masters, so please pay attention to your manners."

"Captain, if you keep pretending, I'll kill you!" Xiao Shuai shouted urgently, "Tell me quickly, did you get it or not?!"

Fat Tan glanced at the coward and nodded helplessly: "I got it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Three seconds later, Brother Hong sat down on the chair with a thud, looking up and sighing, "As long as people don't die, they can get their money back. Thank God... Oh no, thank you three brothers for letting me fly."

Next to him, Xiao Shuai sat limply on the ground, staring blankly at his Zhen gate. He pondered for a long time and said, "I feel like I have ejaculated more than a hundred times in a row... From my scalp to my heels, it's all numb."

"That's great! Thank you, thank you so much." The woman excitedly bowed to Ren Ye, Tan Pang, and Yin Hu: "You three saved us, thank you!"

Opposite him, even the usually steady old cadre looked dazed. He sat on the chair, took a few deep breaths, and then took the initiative to say, "I really want to thank you. If there is any danger later, the four of us will go first."

"Okay." Brother Hong nodded heavily.

Xiao Shuai wiped the sweat from his forehead and blinked, "I choose to pay 800,000 yuan instead of going first."

Ren Ye's eyes lit up, and he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "This matter...we can discuss it in detail."

Xiao Shuai glanced at him and grinned: "We are all brothers. If I really give it to you, you will be embarrassed to ask for it."

Next to him, the old cadre came to his senses and immediately asked, "How did you find a way to break the deadlock? Tell us quickly."

When Fat Tan heard this, he immediately realized that this was a topic that could be used to establish his authority as captain and to show off.

He sat down slowly, a reserved smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "This is a long story..."

Except for Ren Ye and Yin Hu, everyone else gathered around and listened attentively.

Fat Tan sat in the middle of the crowd and began to vividly describe what had happened to the three people today.

He was very eloquent and used precise words. It didn't take him long to tell the whole story. He concluded, "In short, in this battle, Brother Tiger and Comrade Shabao both played an important role. But my extraordinary wisdom and mirror also shined in the Changsheng Taoist Temple..."

After listening to this, Yinhu said simply: "He is right, but MVP is Comrade Sandbag."

He only stated the facts, but did not mention the Phoenix Fire Furnace reward that Ren Ye received, or the elixir rewards that the three of them received.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Ren Ye, some with surprise, and some with thoughtful eyes.

"......!" Fatty Tan rolled his eyes at Brother Tiger and added, "I witnessed him win the MVP award."

"That's awesome, brother!" Xiao Shuai immediately turned around, clasped his fists towards Ren Ye and said, "I will repay you for saving my life. Brother, wait and see how I perform after we leave."

"Thank you."

"I've long seen that Comrade Shabao is talented," Brother Hong praised.

"...!"

The praises from the crowd came roaring in.

The young King Huai nodded slightly, with an expression of satisfaction that said "this is all basic operations".

The killing rules of the secret room are like a butcher's knife hanging over everyone's head. It falls every night, but no one knows who will die.

This kind of psychological pressure is completely incomprehensible to outsiders. So, when everyone learned that Ren Ye and others really found a way to break the deadlock, they all felt like they had escaped death.

The gratitude was real, the happiness was also real, and for a moment the atmosphere in the lobby on the second floor was very harmonious and joyful.

At the long table, everyone chatted for a while, and after each of them looked at the two props targeting Song Mingzhe, they started talking about business.

Fatty Tan, who was sitting at the main seat, intervened and said, "I said, no one wanted to share information yesterday. What about today? Is there anyone willing to talk today?!"

"hehe."

The old cadre smiled when he heard this and intervened, "Today, there are seven of us, divided into two teams. The information is almost all in common, so it's impossible to hide it. Forget it, I'll tell you."

"it is good."

Fat Tan stretched out his hand and said, "Please start your performance."

The old cadre organized his words and said seriously, "Since there are four of us today, we are jointly pursuing Pan Lianrong, so the efficiency is quite fast. We have completed three small tasks, and each of us has received three autobiography fragments and some props as rewards."

"Is it difficult?" Ren Ye asked.

The veteran cadre did not hide it: "One S-level and two A+ ones, neither of them are particularly difficult, but they are very tiring, and the S-level ones also have a death mechanism. But fortunately, everyone cooperated well, and the process was safe."

When Ren Ye heard this, he actually wanted to ask them how many gold coins they got as rewards, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was a bit presumptuous, so he chose to remain silent.

The old cadre put his hands in his pockets and continued, "The clues we got today are all about Pan Lianrong's experiences when she was young. She has average education and graduated from a very ordinary university. She was a student of dance art. Later, she became a player, but her talent was poor and there was almost nothing outstanding about her. According to the clues, she officially became a member of the organization at the age of 25, but she worked in a very insignificant department. That department is called the Fire Consumption Room of the Ministry of Industry. To put it bluntly, it helps the players of the Craftsman Department of the Ministry of Industry manage fire consumption materials, such as when using strange fire, refining magic weapons, etc."

"But it was this insignificant department that changed Pan Lianrong's fate."

"Because she met Song Mingzhe here, a man who pulled her up from the bottom of the organization."

"You should know this, right? Song Mingzhe works in the organization's engineering department, so he and Pan Lianrong usually have contact."

The old cadre turned his head and glanced at everyone: "After investigating here, our clues are broken, and some information is missing in the middle."

"Missing?" Fatty Tan asked, "Aren't you guys chasing Comrade Xiao Shuai's clue? How come it's broken?"

Xiao Shuai raised his head and responded, "Because I have two leads. One was cut off when we traced it to Pan Lianrong's former workplace... Then we investigated the other one."

"Great, you got two lines without making any noise?!" Ren Ye said sarcastically, and thought to himself, "Sure enough, none of you here got it for free, and what you have in your hands is very exciting!"

The old cadre continued, "After the clue was cut off, we followed another line of investigation. In the end, we found out that Pan Lianrong was pregnant, and not long after, she married Song Mingzhe."

Ren Ye naturally wouldn't ask about the detailed clues, because that was related to the interests of the players who were tracking down Pan Lianrong: "The child is Song Mingzhe's, are you sure?"

"You really have a lot of feelings!" The old cadre showed an admiring look: "These experiences don't sound like much, but what's interesting is that according to the clues we found, Pan Lianrong was taken to the hospital by Song Mingzhe twice to prepare for abortion, and the two also had a fierce quarrel in the unit."

"Most importantly, Song Mingzhe even did a paternity test to prove that the child in Pan Lianrong's belly was his, and only then did he decide to marry her."

"However, their wedding was very hastily organized. Not many people came, and the process was very low-key."

"That's all we have to say for now." The old cadre rubbed his palms together and commented softly, "My first impression is that Pan Lianrong is not a simple woman. She takes every step very firmly."

Ren Ye frowned, "The missing information should be the process of Pan Lianrong and Song Mingzhe's contact."

"Without some information, we can't easily make a judgment." Xiao Shuai said: "Maybe there is a reversal."

"Ah."

Brother Hong agreed.

"Okay, everyone has shared most of today's clues. The rest of the time will be spent on eating and communicating individually." Fatty Tan raised his head and said, "However, I propose that there are two hard rules today. First, before eight o'clock, we must arrange magic weapons against Song Mingzhe together; second, everyone must enter the room together tonight and no one can barge in casually."

"I agree!" The woman raised her hand first.

Ren also glanced at him and nodded slightly: "A wise captain always has a plan in mind."

"no problem."

"it is good."

"...!"

Everyone nodded.

"Okay, then let's digest it and disperse." Fatty Tan turned around and called out, "Xiao Shuai, did you buy food today?"

Xiao Shuai was stunned: "No. Before I came back, I didn't know whether I was alive or dead, so who would think about eating!"

"Alas, I've been with you for a whole day, but I still can't get you out." Fat Tan shook his head and ordered, "I bought it. Please clean up and put the food on the table."

When Xiao Shuai heard this, his hair stood on end: "This is not auspicious, Xiao Yuan died last night after doing this kind of work."

"Do you want everyone to isolate you collectively?" Fat Tan asked with a squint.

Xiao Shuai gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Okay, you are so cruel."

……

Downstairs, Ren also found a deserted place and began to carefully ponder the information revealed by the old cadre. He also made a character card about Pan Lianrong in his own notebook.

He recorded it in great detail, even guessing at Pan Lianrong's psychological activities at different times.

After finishing everything, he stretched himself and suddenly remembered that the gold coin reward he received today was quite generous.

He didn't want to always be in the top three and be used as a target by others, so he decided to take a small gamble.

"Heaven, Heaven...I want to scratch the lottery ticket."

Ren called softly.

[How to play scratch lottery: eight gold coins each time, and you will get rewards immediately. Are you sure you want to play? ]

"Play."

Ren also secretly circulated his internal luck, preparing to cheat: "Let's get started."

[Ding—You have consumed 8 gold coins, and there are currently 95 left. ]

【Congratulations, you have obtained a low-key card. 】

[Low-key card: Use after activation. This item can hide 20% of the number of gold coins you hold in the ranking (ignore the decimal point), valid for eight days.]

Ren Ye heard this description and cursed instinctively: "What a waste! Twenty percent is useless..."

"Eh, that's not right. If it's a percentage, then the further you go, the more it decreases. This... this should cause us to fall out of the rankings...!"
