Chapter 26 Jinjiang Literature City Premiere

However, no matter how reluctant they were, they had to listen.

Because this is likely to be the information given by the NPC.

"The mayor's mother, that is, the old mayor's wife, was stabbed in the chest and killed. When she was found, she was lying there." The secretary pointed to the armrest of the sofa where Song Ci was lying.

Song Ci's hair stood on end, she immediately bounced off the sofa, and stepped to the back of Tang Si's single sofa in two steps.

Tang Si raised his eyebrows in surprise, it turns out that you sometimes move quickly.

Song Ci, who was huddled behind the sofa, rubbed her cheeks, fully awake.Marcel, count on you!

Not only Song Ci, but Ke Wen who was sitting in the middle of the sofa and the man in fisherman hat and glasses on the other side were also scared away, and they squeezed behind the single sofas at both ends.

Only Tang Si and his long and thin face sitting opposite each other on the single sofa remained calm and unmoved, showing the demeanor of a big boss.

"The murder weapon is a dagger hanging there." Marcel pointed to the opposite wall where the dagger was missing, "The butler and the maid have gone out, and there is no sign of outsider intrusion in the house, so the murderer was quickly locked in The old mayor was also in the house at the time. The old mayor confessed to killing his wife, but refused to explain the reason. What is even more regrettable is that he was shot dead on the way to the police station that night. "

Crowd: ………………

So the mayor's parents died within a day?No wonder he didn't want to come here at all.

Marcel bowed and said, "Over the years, the reason why the old mayor killed his wife has troubled the mayor. I heard that you are all detectives. I wonder if you can help the mayor find the answer?"

At the same time, Song Ci's light screen automatically popped up, 【Do you accept the side mission, Marcel's request? 】

The corners of Song Ci's eyes slightly raised, and he looked at Tang Si and Ke Wen inquiringly. The team information is shared, and they can see it simultaneously.

Tang Si nodded lightly, and Ke Wen who was next to him kept clicking hard like a chicken pecking at rice, as if he could not wait to reach out to help him press the accept button.

"In half an hour, I will send someone to send the materials of the original case to your room." The secretary bowed to everyone politely again, "In order to thank you for your help, I will remind you friendly that at [-]:[-] p.m. After midnight, the residents of Sunset Town may become less friendly, so don't go out no matter what noise you hear."

Thinking of the few players who died in front of him before, Ke Wen curled his lips, where was the friendliness before?

The clock struck nine o'clock outside the window, the secretary paused, put one hand on his chest, and said sincerely, "I should go, all distinguished guests, good night, I hope you can see the sun tomorrow morning."

Everyone: ……………………………

Are you a blessing or a curse?

In order to wait for the information, after Marcel left, everyone returned to their guest rooms on the second floor.

The two secret rooms turned around, and Song Ci basically never had a complete sleep.At this time, when I suddenly saw the hotbed and warm pillows, I felt extremely kind, and excitedly jumped on it in large characters.

When Ke Wen used the excuse of discussing the case, he dragged Tang Si to open the door of Song Ci's room grandly, and Song Ci was rolling around on the bed with a contented face hugging the pillow.

Tang Si thought it was a bit funny seeing him having fun like a little beast, but when he saw him flopping on the bed in his coat, Tang Si, who was obsessed with cleanliness, couldn't help but twitched his eyebrows again.

"Oh, I didn't see anything." Ke Wen pretended to cover his eyes with his hands.

Song Ci sat up and slammed his pillow carelessly, "You're not resting in your room, why are you here with me?"

"Of course it's to discuss the case," Ke Wen caught the pillow, said righteously, and then looked at Song Ci teasingly, "You don't really plan to sleep in this room, do you?"

"If there is still time after finishing the task later." Song Ci grabbed another pillow and hugged it in her arms.Although he is usually nocturnal, but now the situation is special, he has not had enough sleep for several days, and he does not mind going to bed early.

"While waiting for the materials, we'd better hurry up and go out now." Tang Si made a sign of the cross with two fingers.

Song Ci 'Teng' sat up straight, yes, church!The mistress' strange cross might be a clue.

"Then you go and come back quickly, I'm here to stare at Slender Face and them. By the way, tear down the photo wall." Ke Wen has always been obsessed with the photo wall.

Song Ci looked at Ke Wen hesitantly, "Is it okay for you to be alone?"

"Don't worry, I still have a few props. As long as the NPC doesn't act like a monster, I can still deal with the players." Ke Wen patted his chest.

The two went down to the first floor, opened the door, and it was already pitch black outside.

Seeing the dark courtyard, Song Ci immediately withdrew his outstretched feet to make way for Tang Si behind.

When Tang Si stepped out the door, he hurriedly followed.In the dark night, the smooth right-angled shoulders of the partner and classmate are not only visually perfect, but also full of reliability.

"Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, King Zheng..." Song Ci, who was following Tang Si, wrapped his coat tightly, whispering the names of hundreds of families in a low voice like chanting.

Tang Si looked back with a probing look, Song Ci's face was pale, with a fragile and terrified expression, obviously under tremendous pressure.

Tang Si paused slightly, deliberately slowing down his pace.

After walking out of the old house, the street lights of the town illuminate the snowy road.Song Ci, who was obsessed with "reciting the full text", let out a long sigh of relief, and her steps became obviously brisk.

"You..." Tang Si hesitated for a while, but stopped talking.

"Huh?" Song Ci in the cold wind made a vague and milky nasal sound.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you're cold." Tang Si changed the subject as if nothing had happened.

"It's okay. You can block the wind in front." Song Ci joked as she rubbed the tip of her nose that was frozen red.

There was a black shadow silently behind the two of them, Tang Si glanced at them coldly, but didn't respond.

There is a floor plan of Sunset Town on the central square, and the church marked on it is not far from here, and it takes about five or six minutes to walk there.So Tang Si reckoned that he could go there before the materials arrived.

However, he ignored Song Ci's pace.

Because of Song Ci's speed, they arrived at the church after 10 minutes.

The church in Sunset Town has a strong Gothic style, with slender spires on the top and colorfully decorated windows. Even at night, you can clearly feel its magnificence.

Song Ci gasped and stared at the magnificent and colorful cross on the roof of the church, then took out the silver cross and handed it to Tang Si, "You, don't you think that the style of this thing doesn't match here."

Tang Si nodded, the silver cross was too simple.

However, they still cautiously decided to go in and have a look.After all, deception is also a routine operation in the secret room.

The interior of the church is becoming more and more magnificent, the seats are empty, and there are no players who choose to spend the night here, only two NPCs with question mark faces are cleaning.

Seeing them enter the door, an NPC greeted them.

"Can we go in and take a look?" Song Ci didn't understand the rules of believers, so he made up an excuse.As he spoke, he looked at the two NPCs. The crosses on their chests had Jesus on them, which was completely different from the silver crosses in their hands.

The NPC shook his head, politely and politely rejected their 'visit' needs.

"Then have you seen this cross?" Song Ci took out the cross without giving up,

The two NPCs looked at each other and shook their heads in denial, saying they hadn't seen it.

Song Ci and Tang Si forcibly stayed for a while, took the time to look around every corner of the lobby, but found nothing.

The two walked out of the church disappointed. It seemed that this trip was in vain.

"Crackling", "creaking".

They walked back not far, and suddenly heard a strange sound.

Following the sound, I saw an old man wrapped in a black robe diagonally across the street, pushing a small cart with great difficulty towards the snow-covered path not far away.

There is a sign at the intersection of the path, "Enter the cemetery here", with a familiar and simple cross drawn obliquely on it.

Song Ci's eyes widened suddenly, and she tugged on Tang Si's sleeve excitedly, "Tombstone, maybe it's a tombstone!"

The two caught up with the old man and handed over the silver cross. The old man's question mark face immediately turned green, "Are you sent by Mrs. Mary?"

Mary!The name of the old mayor's wife!Song Ci and Tang Si looked at each other, yes!

Following the old man back to the cemetery, Song Ci was feeling emotional all the way. I have to say that the timing of the appearance of the NPC guarding the cemetery was too subtle.If they had gone a step earlier, they might not have encountered the old man at all, and in such a dark sky, they might not have noticed the street sign of the cemetery at the intersection of the path.

Back at the cemetery, the old man handed them an exquisite metal box.

The palm-sized box is engraved with exquisite patterns, and there is an obvious cross-shaped groove in the middle of the lid.

The crosses in their hands were put on, and they fit perfectly.

Opening the box, a silver mandala-shaped brooch lay quietly on the red velvet cushion.

The shape of the brooch is very peculiar, with curling branches and blooming petals studded with gorgeous and beautiful rubies.Due to the need to draw illustrations, Song Ci has deliberately looked through many materials and pictures of European antique jewelry, but he has never seen this kind of jewelry.

Song Ci picked up the brooch curiously, and found the seal of 'Mary' and a cursive 'LK' printed on the back.

Judging from the seal, this brooch was custom-made.

Although the petals are inlaid with fine rubies, they are obviously nothing compared to the jewels in the cloakroom cabinet.So why hide it with the gravekeeper is very worthy of deliberation.

They hurried back to the old house with brooches, Song Ci and Tang Si walked into their room, and a black shadow also slipped into another guest room like a loach.

"I'm back, come and help me." Ke Wen was sitting on Song Ci's bed, unpacking the kraft paper bags sent by the servants, and dumping the on-site photos and testimony inside on the bed.

After the three of them took turns to read all the materials, they quickly began to sort out the case.

25 years ago today, at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the maid went out after getting ready for afternoon tea;

At 42:[-], the hostess's piano tutor arrived and chatted with the deceased who had some headaches. The hostess expressed that she was not feeling well and wanted to cancel the piano lesson;

At 45:[-], the five-year-old little Mark ran downstairs and wanted to go to the museum to see the exhibition. The deceased, who had a headache, asked his tutor to take little Mark to see the exhibition instead.

At 46:[-], the deceased returned to his room to rest and told the housekeeper not to disturb him.

At [-]:[-], the deceased went downstairs to drink afternoon tea again.

At 41:[-], the driver sent the old mayor home.According to the driver's recollection, the old mayor's complexion was extremely bad at the time, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

At 45:[-], the mayor sent a driver to take the butler out to handle a bank transfer.

At ten past four, the maid who came back from grocery shopping found that the hostess was lying on the sofa in the living room, with a white jade horse head dagger stuck in her back, dead.On the coffee table in front of the sofa were tea and a quarter of the snacks.

The murder weapon was one of the old mayor's collections, and it was usually hung on the dagger wall in the living room.

There were two bruises on the deceased's arm, half of the painted nails were broken, and it was suspected that he had quarreled and had physical conflicts with others.Later, traces of nail scratches were also found on the old mayor's arm.

The homicide can be confirmed to have occurred between 45pm and [-]pm.

During this period of time, there were only the old mayor and his wife in the whole old house.When the maid returned home until the police arrived, the old mayor stayed behind closed doors in his study.

"The old mayor asked the driver to take the housekeeper to send money. Obviously, he was looking for a reason to send everyone in the family away. It should be that he wanted to talk about some secret things with the deceased, and he didn't want others to know. Then they must have had an unpleasant conversation. It even happened When there was a physical conflict, the mayor got agitated," Ke Wen gestured with his right hand and imitated a stabbing motion, "he drew a knife and killed his wife."

"That's why Marcel asked us to find out what they were talking about that caused the mayor to kill his wife." Tang Si raised his eyebrows slightly, and tapped the information on his hand with the back of his finger, saying that Ke Wen's words were not nutritious .

Ke Wen was choked, and turned to Song Ci for help, "Boss, what do you think?"

Song Ci on the bed used both hands and feet, hugging the soft pillow like a sloth, "He didn't use the gun on the third floor, but directly took the dagger near the scene. It should be a temporary impulse, not a deliberate murder. Comprehensive From the information I have so far, I can only deduce the possibility of impulsiveness. The mayor quarreled with his wife after drinking, lost his mind, and killed someone by mistake.

Mark mentioned in the diary that the old mayor would be quite irritable after drinking.However, the relevant statement did not mention whether the mayor was drinking at the time, so it depends on whether other evidence can be found in the follow-up. "

Tang Si frowned slightly, "Why are they arguing?"

"Why do husbands and wives quarrel, from your unclean dishes today to your neurotic suspicion that the other party is cheating, 360 days a year, everything may become an excuse." Ke Wen's 'well-informed' said.

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a subtle silence.

Both Song Ci and Tang Si looked at him with sympathy.

"What are you looking at me for? I also watched it on TV," Ke Wen touched his nose trying to hide it, "Aren't your parents like this?"

The two people on the opposite side shook their heads.

"From childhood, I only saw them quarrel once." Tang Si said flatly.

"What about you?" Ke Wen looked at Song Ci incredulously.

"When I was four years old, they died in a car accident." Song Ci shrugged, trying to look calm and breezy.

Tang Si took a deep look at him, but finally remained silent.

Ke Wen cleared his throat in embarrassment, "Then what, is there any other possibility besides being drunk?"

"Extramarital affairs." Tang Si tapped the photo of the piano tutor pinned on the confession with his fingertips. It was a handsome young man with blond hair, blue eyes with the melancholy temperament unique to an artist, and a round-breasted casual suit on the neckline. The brooch with a uniquely designed red mandala flower is impeccable in terms of appearance and taste.

Song Ci took out the brooch they found and put it next to the photo.

From the appearance, the two brooches are exactly the same.

"Couple jewelry?" Ke Wen asked in surprise.

If you think about it carefully, if it is normal for the hostess and her piano tutor to drink afternoon tea alone, then canceling the class temporarily and asking the piano teacher to take the children out to see the exhibition instead is a bit too intimate.

"The details still depend on whether we can find decisive evidence in the follow-up." Tang Si added.An affair is only a possibility. After all, judging from the photo wall, the relationship between the old mayor and his wife is not bad.

"Does it count for them to sleep in separate beds? There are actually two beds in the master bedroom." Ke Wen paused halfway uncertainly, "However, it seems that many couples also sleep in separate beds because of habitual problems. And their bedside The electronic photo album on display also looks very affectionate."

After Tang Si mentioned the affair, the light screen jumped out, and there were three more answer options behind [Marcel’s Commission], namely A, impulsive after drinking, B, the hostess’ extramarital affairs revealed C, and the reason for himself

At the same time, there is a green progress prompt bar showing 25% of the clues collected, and there are small words on the back, [Please note that you only have one chance to submit the answer]

As for the main task of [Looking for the Sleeping Treasure] at the top, the progress bar is still firmly at 0%.

Ke Wen covered his face, looking disillusioned with love, "You don't even know how romantic their love is. The electronic photo album in the living room has their love vedio. The two met when they were traveling abroad. They fell in love at first sight and fell in love quickly. fell in love, and then the mayor's wife left her hometown and married into this ice and snow town without hesitation."

Tang Si tugged at his gloves, reminding Ke Wen of the end of the BE story that had become an established fact, "Don't forget, this is a murder case."

Ke Wen: ……………

Song Ci leaned forward, her handsome chin sank into the cotton candy-like soft pillow, "I can only guess these two for the time being, I think there must be clues in the study."

After the old mayor killed someone, he neither fled nor faked the scene, but went into the study. Why?

"Then what are we waiting for!" Ke Wen, who said that the wind is the rain, immediately stood up and urged Song Ci to set off.As for Tang Si, relying on the superior leg length, the other party will always be half a step ahead of them.

Entering the study on the third floor, Ke Wen turned around and locked the door first, then clapped his hands triumphantly and exaggeratedly, "It's the turn of those guys to be locked out this time, want to find clues? Line up!"

Song Ci continued to look through the desks that he hadn't read before, and Tang Si was still persistently studying the floor.Seeing that there was no one in the bookshelf area, Ke Wen took the initiative to undertake the search task there.

The third drawer was a built-in lock. Song Ci tried to pry it, but it didn't move at all, so he had to start looking for the key.

He glanced around the tabletop, and moved his hands to the group photo first.When the photo frame was opened, there was no trace of the key, but there was a sentence full of fatherly love written on the back of the photo, 【Mark, Daddy loves you.Dad will give you everything you want if you can. 】

Unfortunately, it seems that it has nothing to do with the treasure clues and the murder case.

The small clock and the brass globe are of the old style with Roman numerals, and the signs of wear are obvious.The base is also noticeably thicker than normal.

Is it also a trap box?Song Ci's heart skipped a beat, and she began to study those two little things.

There was only a small buckle under the clock, and it was not difficult to untie it. Song Ci quickly opened it, but found nothing.After dismantling the secret compartment of the base of the globe, I finally found a key.

Use that key to open the third drawer, inside is a brown paper bag.

"I found a new clue." Song Ci raised the file bag to greet the other two.

Ke Wen and Tang Si gathered around. Song Ci opened the paper bag with December 12th written on it, and a large stack of photos fell out. The protagonists were the mayor's wife and the piano tutor. Judging from the photos, the two Private contact is frequent, and the behavior is intimate.

Now it can be said that the evidence is as solid as a mountain, and Ke Wen looked up to the sky and sighed, "Since ancient times, affection cannot be kept, and the green hat is the destination after all."

Song Ci buried her head and flipped through the photos one by one without making a sound.

The light screen shook again, and the progress of clue collection jumped to 60%.

"Boss, what are you doing in a daze, quickly turn on the light screen and submit the answer to the task? The faster you complete it, the richer the reward." Ke Wen reminded.

"If you make a mistake, you will lose all rewards." Song Ci hesitated as she looked at the prompt that there was only one chance to submit an answer.

Could it be that simple?The old mayor hid in the study just to lock up these photos?

How long does it take to hide a photo?

Ke Wen scratched his ears in confusion. Didn't you also speculate about the extramarital affairs before?

"There's still enough time, so don't rush to submit it." Tang Si tapped the table with the back of his finger, and made a final decision, "It won't be too late to confirm the answer after we have found all the clues in this room."

The three resumed their search.After dismantling the photo frame, clock and globe, Song Ci aimed at the desk lamp again. To his surprise, the desk lamp was fixed on the table.

There are weird!Song Ci regained his energy immediately, studied the desk lamp vigorously, turned the lampshade eastward, twisted the angel doll westward, and finally twisted the disc under the angel's feet, suddenly there was a slight mechanical sound in the room.

Song Ci raised her head, and saw that the oil painting that was originally hanging above the coffee table was slowly scrolling upwards, and another new picture was revealed underneath!

Tang Si and Ke Wen, who heard the voice, turned their heads and saw the completely different oil painting, and they were all stunned.

The new oil painting depicts a gathering of friends, a few men dressed as gentlemen are playing poker around a round table, and there are three columns of beautiful cursive characters on the right.

【The sleeping treasure will wake up eventually

Remember, it is the most beautiful star,

Its brilliance is with Sunset Town every year. 】

Song Ci's heart was beating wildly, and finally found it, the treasure map!

In the next second, the light screen automatically popped up, and the progress bar of [Looking for the Sleeping Treasure] item soared to 40%!

Without a doubt, this is the key clue!

Ke Wen and Tang Si also gathered, and all three of them began to study the painting seriously.

The picture depicts a small living room, with five characters drawn on it, standing three times and sitting two times. The other people's cards have been exhausted, leaving only two people sitting at the left and right ends of the round table.The three people who finished playing the cards left their seats, stood behind the two of them, watching their cards with relish.

The man in the black vest on the left is wearing a twill tie, and is holding a W-shaped gold tie pin meticulously. He is holding a coffee cup with a dignified expression, and only four playing cards are left in his hand, which are Five of Hearts and Five of Hearts. Six, five squares, three squares.

The player wearing a monocle on the right is wearing a suit on the back of the chair, crossing his legs leisurely, and looking at his old-fashioned gold pocket watch. The hands of the watch have already pointed to twelve o'clock.He also has six cards, five of spades, five of spades, five of spades, five of clubs, three of clubs, and five of clubs.

"The vest is set to lose, the opponent has five fives, crush him at any time." Ke Wen couldn't help but said.

"Something's wrong," Song Ci stretched out her slender index finger, and tapped the cards in the Monocle player's hand, "How could he have three fives of spades?"
