Please charm this NPC

When mentioning the aborted plan, Ran Wenyu couldn't help but think of his little friend Augustus. He looked behind him in surprise, wondering why Lisa's scream was so penetrating, but Augustus didn't show up. Check it out Condition.

Just when he was wondering, there was also a scream from downstairs, but this time the female voice was much thicker, it should be from the cook Emily: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Ran Wenyu had a bad premonition in his heart—could Augustus have already attacked the housekeeper Robert? !

Immediately, he didn't even care about Asham, and quickly turned around and ran downstairs, very worried that his little friend would be caught at the crime scene.

However, despite Ran Wenyu's desperate prayers, something he didn't want to see still happened.

After August left Ran Wenyu's room, although he was very worried that the other party would face the boss alone, he also knew that not only could he not be of much help, he might even make the situation worse.

That being the case, the best way to help Ran Wenyu is to advance the progress of the module as soon as possible and end the plot of the module, so that Ran Wenyu can completely leave Atham.

So Augustus went downstairs directly, looking for Robert's whereabouts.He hid aside and watched secretly as Robert arranged Baron Slanter's lunch, sent Emily and Lisa to the baron's room, and returned to his room with his own meal.

Augustus followed Robert quietly, and then knocked on his door on the pretext of having something to do.

Robert was not at all wary of Augustus, so he let him into the house very easily, and Augustus was not polite, taking advantage of the opportunity when Robert was making tea with his back turned to him, he directly attacked.

However, when people walk on their backs, drinking cold water will also clog their teeth.Obviously attacking Robert from behind, Augustus was [-]% sure to knock him out with one blow, but just when he was about to strike, Lisa's scream came suddenly.

Hearing the scream, Robert turned his head suddenly, and saw Augustus who was trying to attack him at first glance.The gray-haired old butler was also a veteran of many battles. Although he was taken aback, he reacted quickly, picked up the teapot in his hand, and poured hot water on Augustus accurately.

Augustus was suddenly scalded, and he was also very confused, but the matter had come to this point, he definitely couldn't stop there, and could only confront Robert head-on.

So, facing the burning pain on the skin, Augustus and Robert arranged a battle round under the arrangement of KP. He didn't dare to shoot, so as not to alarm others, so he had to fight hand-to-hand. Fortunately, he likes hunting, sports often, and is young Strong and strong, he finally gained the upper hand and successfully knocked Robert out.

However, before he could kill Robert and clean up the battlefield, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and the cook Emily yelled, "Butler, it's not good, master, he—" and broke into the room in a hurry. Come in.

Then, Augustus, who was bending over and dragging Robert, met Emily's eyes who stopped screaming abruptly.

For a moment, the room was silent, and the atmosphere was extremely weird.

Augustus was one head and two big, and before he could kill Emily, he heard Emily, who suddenly reacted, let out another scream that was more high-pitched, sharper, and extremely penetrating. head and run.

Augustus: "……………………"

Augustus also collapsed - how bad is he that he has encountered such coincidental accidents one after another!

Augustus had just fought with Robert, and he was exhausted. Although Emily is a woman, she often works and is strong. At this time, she tried her best to escape, even Augustus reacted equally quickly. , still too late to stop.

Of course, it is also impossible for Augustus to just give up like this.He immediately chased after her, trying to deal with Emily before the others showed up, but "blessings never come together, misfortunes never come singly", Augustus had just chased to the living room, and before he had time to catch Emily, he bumped into her head-on. The servant Henry who rushed into the mansion with a pitchfork because he heard two screams.

Augustus: "……………………"

——Damn it, this mod is really unplayable!

With Henry's support, Emily's courage suddenly became stronger. She yelled "He killed Robert the butler", and attacked Augustus together with Henry.

Augustus entered the battle round again, and the targets were a tough working woman and a young and strong man holding a pitchfork. This time, he lost without any suspense. If not, they were subdued by the two together.

When Ran Wenyu hurried downstairs, he saw the servant Henry pressing on Augustus and cutting his arms backwards, while Emily was holding a pitchfork against his head, with a fierce expression on her face.As for Augustus, he was no longer the well-dressed businessman he was just now, with messy hair, wrinkled and wet clothes, and several burns on his skin.

Then, Augustus struggled to raise his head, and gave Ran Wenyu a desperate look.

Ran Wenyu, who was frozen in place: "…………………"

"What the hell is going on?" Ran Wenyu asked dryly. He walked over and tried to save his teammates, but Emily stopped him eagerly, "Master Ran! Please don't come here! This person is too dangerous! He wants to kill Robert the butler! Or—Robert the butler has already been killed by him!"

Ran Wenyu was dying: "No, this, is there some misunderstanding here? Why did Mr. Tang kill Robert the butler?"

"There must be no misunderstanding! This is what I saw with my own eyes!" Emily's voice was sharp, "After I bumped into him and committed the crime, he still wanted to kill me! Henry can testify to me!"

"That's right!" Henry said immediately, "It looks like a human being, but I didn't expect it to be a murderer! Bah!"

Augustus who silently closed his eyes in despair: "…………………"

Emily said fiercely: "I'm sure, the master was also killed by him! It must be! This devil!"

Henry froze for a moment, then turned pale with shock: "What? The master was also killed by him?!"

Augustus: ? ? ? ? ? ?

——I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!I obviously haven't done it yet!

He suddenly opened his eyes and cast his shocked gaze on Ran Wenyu, obviously not aware of what happened to Baron Slant.Ran Wenyu nodded to him indistinctly, and told him that Baron Silent was indeed dead.

Augustus with a confused mind: "…………………"

—Wait, who am I?where am I?What am I going to do?Since Baron Slanter is dead, why am I in this situation now? !I obviously attacked Butler Robert first to deal with Baron Silent more conveniently!

Just when Emily and the others were quarreling, Asham had already awakened Robert Butler who was in a coma, and helped him limped into the living room.

The blood on Robert's forehead made him feel a little dizzy, but his arrival immediately acted like a pincer, bringing order to the messy living room.

Robert first asked Emily to get a thick hemp rope, and then asked Henry to tie Augustus tightly.After confirming that Augustus could not escape, he immediately sent Henry to go to the sheriff on horseback——such a big thing happened in Prost Manor, and it must not be good.

At this time, the maid Lisa finally regained her strength, and went downstairs tremblingly, curled up on the sofa and sobbed softly, completely daring to look at the young master she had secretly admired, and Robert also talked about it from everyone. Knowing the tragedy of his master's death in the narration, the whole person seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and the back that had been straight had also collapsed in a short period of time. appearance.

The living room was filled with a depressive and sad atmosphere. Ran Wenyu was at a loss, so he could only keep silent and stand still. Arthur helped Robert deal with his injuries, and then sat quietly beside Ran Wenyu.

The sheriff came quickly.Hearing that there was a murder case at Prost Manor, he was so frightened that he even forgot to put on his coat, and hurriedly followed Henry to Prost Manor. As soon as he entered the door, he happened to see such a serious and heavy scene.

Seeing the sheriff coming, Butler Robert stood up first: "You are here, sir, I am very sorry to disturb you at this time."

"Please don't say that!" The magistrate quickly waved his hand, and turned his gaze to August who was tied up, "Excuse me, what happened here? This gentleman... is the murderer?"

The magistrate didn't quite believe it. After all, although Augustus described it as a mess, he had received a good education at first glance, and he dressed in clothes that only the upper class could afford.

"It's him!" Butler Robert said decisively, "I don't know if the master was killed by him, but he really wanted to kill me!"

The magistrate frowned, and continued to ask about the details.

Everyone told what they knew, and quickly put together a general idea of ​​the matter.Augustus's attack on Robert and Emily is a certainty, and although there is no conclusive evidence for the death of Baron Slanter, except for Henry, the servant who has been working outside the mansion, all the people in the mansion can do nothing for each other. Proof, except for Augustus.

Lisa and Emily have been preparing lunch together, and Robert is also directing. Augustus was with Ran Wenyu at first, but after Arthur's arrival, he left alone—this time is enough for him to start Go kill Baron Slanter, and then attack Butler Robert.

For such a plot development, Ran Wenyu only feels that he has left the Cthulhu module to solve the mysterious incident, and entered the detective module to find the real murderer - what is the trouble with each of them emphasizing their own alibi? !

Seeing that the blame for killing Baron Slanter was about to be pinned on him, Augustus was also a little anxious: "It is possible that there is another person who killed Baron Slanter besides me, isn't there?" Looking at Asham, "Where were you before going to Mr. Ran's room?!"

Asham has been sitting on the sidelines leisurely watching the fire from the other side, and has no intention of participating in the case.When his name was suddenly called, he raised his eyebrows: "Are you doubting me? I have already come to Prost Manor. If I want to kill Baron Slant, there are countless ways and time. Why wait until now? ?”

"Because, this morning, you just had a big fight with Baron Silent!" Augustus immediately retorted.

Asham frowned, with the displeasure and patience of being harassed: "We didn't quarrel, what evidence do you have?"

"I heard it! I heard it with my own ears outside the door! Baron Slante angrily accused you of breaking your promise and breaking the agreement with him!" Augustus knew that his mod was useless, so he simply died. The pig was not afraid of the boiling water, and directly confronted Asham - since he was struggling so hard to survive, KP should be able to show mercy to him during the settlement, right?

"Slander." Asham sneered, he was too lazy to entangle with Augustus, and looked directly at the sheriff, "Is the words of a murderer really worth trusting? Dear Mr. Sheriff."

Stared at by Augustus's blue eyes, the sheriff shook his head involuntarily: "Of course it's not credible."

Asham softened his expression with satisfaction: "I didn't intend to add insult to injury, but Mr. Tang's accusations really displeased me. Well, let me provide a piece of testimony as well."

"Please tell me." The magistrate was in awe.For some reason, he always felt that this young man was so imposing that he didn't dare to offend him in the slightest.

"Mr. Augustus Tang once asked me about Baron Silent's condition in private." Asham slightly nodded at the magistrate, "You know, I was hired by the baron as a personal doctor and has been in charge of recuperation his body."

The sheriff nodded quickly.

"As a qualified doctor, of course it is impossible for me to disclose the patient's condition at will, so I just told Mr. Tang that Baron is fine and is gradually recovering." Arthur shrugged his shoulders, "However, this news is for someone It might not be a good thing.”

"You mean...?" the magistrate humbly asked for advice.

"Mr. Ran and Mr. Tang were invited by the baron to the Prost Manor in order to choose a qualified heir." Asham looked at Ran Wenyu who was in a state of disbelief, "Although this sentence is a bit hurtful, But anyone can see that Mr. Ran is far inferior to Mr. Tang in terms of conduct and knowledge, and Mr. Tang will obviously become the heir of the baron. Once the baron dies, his property and title will be lost. Mr Tang will succeed."

Augustus: "……………………"

——What you said is so reasonable, I almost believe that I am a murderer myself!

——Obviously I just asked a few words casually for the sake of striking up a conversation, but now it has become a powerful proof that I am the murderer. How ungrateful am I!

Even Augustus, the client, was about to be persuaded, and the magistrate naturally nodded repeatedly, dispelling even the last trace of doubt.

——Obviously, among all the people present, Augustus was the only one who possessed both the ability to commit the crime and the motive to commit the crime, so he didn’t run away.

"Okay, I have understood the situation clearly, thank you for your cooperation. I will take the murderer away and deal with it, and I will definitely make the criminal pay the price he deserves!" The sheriff walked towards Augustus and lifted him up , Henry quickly followed him and assisted him in escorting the prisoner.

Seeing that his little friend was about to be taken away, Ran Wenyu finally couldn't sit still: "Wait, wait a minute! Mr. Sheriff, you haven't seen the body of Baron Slanter yet! That corpse is very weird, it doesn't look like a human being at all Commit a crime!"

"It wasn't a human being who committed the crime? What is that? A mythical creature?" Arthur chuckled lightly, with a teasing tone.

Ran Wenyu, who wanted to nod his head, said, "……………………"

Ran Wenyu: "No, really, I didn't lie! You can tell at a glance, the corpse is really strange, Mr. Sheriff—"

Ran Wenyu tried hard to argue, but he didn't finish his sentence, but Arthur put his shoulders on his shoulders and stopped him softly: "Okay, Mr. Ran, regarding how Baron Silent died, Mr. Magistrate is taking Mr. Tang away After that, I will ask him carefully, so you don't have to worry."

Ran Wenyu opened his mouth, but found that he could no longer make any sound, and he couldn't even move his body. He could only watch helplessly as the sheriff ignored him, took his poor hapless teammate out of the mansion, and left him. Sight.

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——Although I successfully figured out the truth of the incident, successfully got rid of the monster's attack, and survived unscathed, I am not happy at all QAQ
