After I captured the wrong male lead, I broke off the engagement and married the villain

"System scan."

[Ding ding, scanning successful, this object is a black iron hidden weapon. ]

The transparent panel restored the original appearance of the hidden weapon. Several long silver threads were fixed on the wrist, flashing a cold light.

"Oh, it looks like a murder weapon, take it."

She put the things into the system's data collection library and saw a few lines of words flash on the page.

[Obtained the key item, the black iron hidden weapon, the mission progress is 10%, please keep working hard. ]

Nangong Yuan touched his chin and glanced around.

She stood up and pushed the window, only to find that it was nailed shut and couldn't be opened at all.

“Since the window can’t let you in, where did this moment come from?”

Wang Yunshan is not that stupid. The assassin would not follow him closely. According to the information provided by the system, the people around him have no motive to commit the crime.

The assassin might come from the brothel or from outside.

She slowly crawled down and knocked on the floor inch by inch.

"None at all?"

I knocked on the wall and felt disappointed when I found she was not there.

"This is how to do?"

Nangong Yuan sat down on the couch and something hit her waist.

"what?"

She turned around and found a small Pixiu beside the couch.

The carving was very exquisite and blended perfectly with the couch. She reached out and pressed it.

Click!

A secret passage suddenly appeared under the wall near the window.

"Oh my god, no wonder no one noticed it, it's too hidden."

[Didi, found the key clue, secret cell, mission progress 20%]

Nangong Yuan's eyes lit up and she pinched her fingertips excitedly.

"What are you doing here?"

"Oh, take a breath, what's wrong?"

"Don't you know? People have died in this place. You'd better stay away from it."

When Nangong Yuan heard Tao Zhu's voice, he paused. Soon he heard footsteps fading away.

"Forget it, let's go in and take a look first."

She gritted her teeth and rushed into the secret passage.

But soon, Nangong Yuan regretted it.

Because the secret passage was too narrow, even with her slender figure, it was very difficult for her to enter and exit.

It was because it was narrow that the people from the Dali Temple did not discover the secret passage here. Nangong Yuan was also lucky, otherwise she would not have been able to get in.

Only after climbing to the bottom did Nangong Yuan light the fire.

This is a small secret passage where you can hardly even turn around. When a person lies down, he is less than a palm's length away from the wall.

Adult men, or people who are slightly taller and stronger, can hardly get in.

It is also very difficult for a tall and slender woman like Nangong Yuan to move.

That means that the assassin must be short and very thin, which is why he can move freely in such a small space.

"Tsk, things are really getting more and more interesting."

She found half a footprint at the bottom of the secret passage, shone a light on it and said, "You must have profound skills."

The footprints were very shallow. In this secret passage, Nangong Yuan herself had left several deep footprints.

One reason is that she is not short, so it is difficult for her to move flexibly here.

【Didi, found the key clue. 】

Nangong Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Ah? What key clue, this footprint?"

[There are other things besides footprints.]

Nangong Yuan frowned and looked around, and the fire starter in his hand suddenly went out.

It seems that she is lacking oxygen. She is having difficulty breathing now, but she cannot go out because the examination is not completed yet.

【System, give me a lamp. 】

The transparent panel emitted a strong light, and the entire dark passage was illuminated as if it were daytime.

Nangong Yuan climbed down a bit and suddenly stopped.

“This is…”

She reached out and pulled out a long, thin needle from the wall. This thing was made with extremely fine workmanship and not something that an ordinary craftsman could make.

[Obtain the key item, Feiyun Needle, mission progress 30%]

Nangong Yuanzai checked the secret passage carefully, but found no extra clues, so he went out feeling dizzy.

"Huh! Cough, cough, cough, I'm suffocating."

She came out of the dark room covered in dust and brushed off the dust on her fan.

The person patrolling at the door vaguely heard the sound and was so scared that he rolled and crawled.

"There's a ghost!"

Nangong Yuan's expression froze and she ran away quickly.

"Miss, Miss, here!"

Tao Zhu was waving from a distance, looking a little panicked.

"what happened?"

Nangong Yuan walked over slowly and stretched out his arms.

"That Liuxiang is about to wake up, you can go and take a look."

"What are you afraid of? It's just a small problem."

After the two people entered the house, Liuxiang slowly woke up.

She looked at the two people sitting upright in horror and opened her mouth to call for help.

"You are not an ordinary girl, are you? What are you planning to do by staying in this brothel?"

Liu Xiang was stunned, and his expression turned cold the next moment: "What are you going to do?"

"Don't you know what I'm going to do?"

Nangong Yuan stretched out her hand, pinching a silver thread between her fingertips.

Sure enough, when Liuxiang saw this thing, his expression changed.

"Girl, I'm not saying you have a lot of flaws."

She leaned forward slightly, her beautiful eyes shining like peach blossoms.

The next moment, Liuxiang took the knife and tried to cut his throat.

boom!

Nangong Yuan knocked the dagger away with an unpleasant expression: "Why do you want to kill yourself without saying a word? It makes me... look like a bad person."

But Liuxiang, who was kneeling on the ground, stared at her without saying a word.

"It's not that easy to die. Wait until I take you to the Dali Temple. They have plenty of ways to make you talk. Do you want to try?"

Liu Xiang was silent for a moment before he said, "What do you want?"

"I want to know how Wang Yunshan died."

Liu Xiang snorted coldly: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

"Then this thing can at least tell me its origin."

She waved the silver thread in her hand and Liuxiang fell silent.

Originally, Nangong Yuan suspected that she was the murderer, after all, she had too much of an advantage.

Not only is he in a brothel, but he also has good martial arts skills, motivation, and ability.

But her figure is not much different from Nangong Yuan. Her footprints are very different from the one in the secret passage, so she is ruled out.

"If you don't tell me, I'll do it."

As soon as Nangong Yuan stood up, the man said, "No, that's what I said."

She sat back down and looked at Liuxiang leisurely.

Seeing her like this, Liuxiang knew that she couldn't fool her, so she started to speak intermittently.

"I happened to be in the building on the day Wang Yunshan died. The one who did it was another girl in the building named Chunyue."

Nangong Yuan squinted her eyes as she listened to her, but she had her own plans in mind.

"That silver thread is her family heirloom, there are only three of them, and she used two of them to kill Wang Yunshan."

She was evasive in her words and many things didn't make sense, but Nangong Yuan didn't pursue it.

Because the task progress has reached 50%.

It seems that Chunyue knows the inside story.

"Tao Zhu, you look after her, I'll go find someone."

"Yes, little...be careful."
