Lost City [Unlimited]

Chapter 3 The Evil of Kinship

The five walked and discussed.

Sun Meng actively expressed his opinions as always: "I looked at the map carefully again, and combined with the information I just got, I have the following conclusions."

"The first one is about the dungeon map. Maybe there will be information related to the mission waiting for us to explore in the places specially marked on the dungeon map. Second, the woman just said that she wanted to confess to Liu Feng because Liu Feng didn't treat her well." Meaning, she also mentioned that besides working outside Liu Feng is going home to rest. Does this mean that Liu Feng is a very family-friendly man, and his relationship with his wife Li Hua is also relatively stable. At least his murderous intentions will not It's Xiaosan or something."

After she finished speaking, she felt that she had missed something, shook the hand held by Zhou Zhengwen, and said, "Senior Zhou, tell me what you think."

Zhou Zhengwen looked at her and said, "I think the same as you."

Yang Xuehua glanced at the two of them, then pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind, and whispered, "I, I think this clue can help us rule out a suspect."

Sun Meng looked at her in surprise, frowned, and was about to refute her point of view, when she saw Hu Ling approaching Yang Xuehua curiously and asked, "Why do you think so?"

The first time I saw the young man before, I knew he was a well-educated person, and his gestures showed a nobility that ordinary families could not cultivate.Although he went to Yang Xuehua's side at this time, he kept a distance that would not make women feel uncomfortable. Even because of that good-looking and friendly smile, Yang Xuehua relaxed a little visibly.

After she became less nervous, her voice became louder: "Because everyone's first reaction was to go directly to the Luyin Community to investigate, and they never considered that there would be clues in other places. When you are confused and have not figured out the game mode, it may set such a key clue that is easily overlooked by most players. So in my opinion, the role of this clue is to help us narrow down the range of suspects .”

After finishing speaking, Yang Xuehua looked at Hu Ling fixedly, as if silently asking for his opinion.

Hu Ling straightened up, thought for a while, and said, "Although what you said makes sense, I don't think Liu Feng's suspicion can be ruled out based on this."

Sun Meng was relieved to hear his answer, while Yang Xuehua asked humbly, "Why?"

Hu Ling: "The novice dungeon is indeed the easiest one, but that doesn't mean it's easy. After all, it's not a game we usually play online, and not all players can successfully complete the novice mission. How? Speaking of which... this is a screening, do you understand?"

He lowered his head to the left and looked over with smiling eyes. Under the bright sunlight, he couldn't see the image in those eyes clearly, but Yang Xuehua felt that he was stabbed by something, and at the same time his heart beat faster, he hid in a little panic. Open Hu Ling's eyes. "Ming, I understand."

Hu Ling withdrew his gaze naturally, as if he hadn't noticed Yang Xuehua's dodge. "So the clue just now should be a key clue, but the direction it uses needs to be further explored. Ah, by the way, one more thing to add, the NPC mentioned that Liu Feng took two days off and will go back to work on the 7rd. In other words, after the end of July 2, the police's movement restrictions on the four suspects will be lifted, and we'd better complete the task before then."

"Yes! That's it!" Sun Meng replied: "I just said that I always feel that I have missed something." She looked at Yu Songyuan: "Brother Yu, do you have anything to add?"

Yu Songyuan thought he was the oldest among the five, and he accepted the "brother" they called well. "No, I only think of these for the time being."

There was no expression on his face when he spoke, and he looked very difficult to mess with.

Sun Meng and others subconsciously kept silent, only Hu Ling smiled softly, and chatted with him: "Brother Yu, do you have money?"

Yu Songyuan looked at him suspiciously, "Money?"

Hu Ling: "Don't you want to take the bus? I don't have any change with me."

As soon as the words came out, everyone else thought of a fatal problem—they only had red hundred-dollar bills in their wallets.

Sun Meng held a piece of RMB, and for the first time from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want it to be so popular. "The station is right in front of us, but we don't have five yuan on us. What should we do?"

It's impossible to really walk over, right?

The only two girls looked at each other, and they both read the resistance of "never exercise physical strength" from each other's eyes.

"Let's try to see if I can change it." Yu Songyuan looked around and found a convenience store not far away.

He went in and got a pack of tissues, then asked the NPC standing at the cash register, "How much?"

The NPC glanced at him, took the tissue, and scanned the QR code on it with a device. "It's two dollars in total."

Yu Songyuan handed Zhang Baibai over, and tentatively said, "Can I get some more one-yuan change? Coins are also fine."

The NPC didn't answer, and after confirming that it was real money, they gave change as usual.After the transaction was completed, the state of "players are all air" was restored.

"It seems that these NPCs can only perform simple programmed actions and cannot communicate."

Hearing the sound, Yu Songyuan turned his head and saw Hu Ling walking over with a shopping basket filled with water, bread and paper towels.

"You probably won't have time to look for food at noon later, so buy them for emergencies." He smiled at Yu Songyuan, and then put the shopping basket on the cash register.

No need to be urged, the NPC automatically started to scan the code, "Do you need a shopping bag?"

Hu Ling: "Yes, thank you."

The NPC put the things in his pocket and quoted a price: "A total of 46 yuan."

"I'll charge you one hundred dollars, and I'll give you 54 yuan as change."

Hu Ling lifted his pocket, "Let's go."

Yu Songyuan stretched out his hand, "Do you want me to help you?"

Hu Ling: "No, it's not heavy."

Yu Songyuan didn't insist, put his hands in his pockets, and walked back behind Hu Ling.

He unconsciously stared at the smooth lines of the young man's arms stretched out due to exertion for a while, and then silently looked away after regaining his senses.

The five people shared the change, during which Sun Meng sighed: "I have never liked green so much."

The corner of Zhou Zhengwen's mouth twitched, and he said, "Let's say goodbye."

In this way, everyone finally got on the bus and arrived at their destination - Luyin Community in a few minutes.

The bus stops in front of the gate of the community, and you can walk in a few steps.

"Drip! Congratulations to the player team for entering the investigation location [Lvyin Community]. Please do not leave the investigation location until 7:2 on July 24. Please concentrate on completing the task in this area. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences."

The five of them waited for a while, and seeing that the broadcast had indeed ended, Sun Meng complained, "So there was a trap, but luckily we didn't get caught. Let's go, it's time to meet those suspects!"

She took Zhou Zhenwen for two steps, and then heard Yu Songyuan say, "Hu Ling, what are you looking at?"

Sun Meng turned around, saw the young man's slightly thin back, and heard him say, "It's nothing, just a little curious."

"Curiosity? What are the consequences of breaking the rules?" Yu Songyuan stared at his profile, frowning. "Little friend, have you heard the saying that curiosity killed the cat? There are some things that should not be too curious."

Seeing that Hu Ling was still staring at the outside of the community, Yu Songyuan's heart tightened, fearing that he would be stupid, he simply stretched out his long arms, turned around with his arms around the young man, and walked forward with his arms around his shoulders.During the whole process, Hu Ling didn't have the slightest intention of resisting, which made Yu Songyuan heave a sigh of relief.He joked: "I was afraid that you would make trouble with me just now, but I didn't expect you to be quite obedient."

Hu Ling wrinkled his nose, showing a rare childishness, "I'm curious, not desperate."

Yu Songyuan: "It's always like this when I was young, I understand."

"Do you understand?" Hu Ling turned to look at him, her beautiful eyes seemed to be full of starlight, "You used to be like this too?"

Yu Songyuan: "Isn't everyone like this? The more you stop doing it, the more you want to do it. Always trying to challenge authority, full of ambition."

Hu Ling smiled, turned around, and said in a low voice, "Yes, people always want to be the most special, but they will always be swallowed up by mediocrity."

Yu Songyuan smiled and said, "I'm quite enlightened at such a young age."

Hu Ling raised his hand to hold Yu Songyuan's hand on his shoulder, raised his chin slightly and turned to look at him, "Brother Yu, are we friends now?"

"You make friends so casually?" Yu Songyuan withdrew his hand calmly, and Hu Ling didn't stop him.

"It's okay, there are many kinds of friends."

"Then I'm that kind?"

Hu Ling thought for a while, then smiled and said, "The kind that hit it off right away!"

Yu Songyuan's heart trembled, and it was the first time in his life that he realized that he was such a superficial person.Or is it human nature to pursue beauty?His reason and emotion struggled for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, what you say is right."

After a while, everyone arrived downstairs in Building B, and the first thing they saw was the police car parked by the side of the road.

Hu Ling went up and knocked on the car window.

The windshield was rolled down, and the man in police uniform asked, "What's the matter?"

"Excuse me, is this Police Officer Zhang?" Hu Ling took out his ID card, "We are here to investigate the case, and I want to ask if you want to go up together."

Officer Zhang glanced at the people behind him, and said, "I know. I have to stay here, so I won't go up. Just bring the murderer down when the time comes."

Hu Ling: "Will you always be here?"

Officer Zhang: "Yes."

Hu Ling: "Including eating and sleeping?"

Officer Zhang: "That's right."

Hu Ling blinked and asked curiously, "What about going to the toilet?"

Officer Zhang was silent for a moment, his pupils dilated.A few seconds later, his pupils refocused, and he replied: "From 6:30 on June 13 until the end of the control, I will always be in this place, and I will never leave."

Hu Ling curled his lips and said, "That's it, it's really hard work."

Police Officer Zhang: "The responsibility lies, it's not worth mentioning."

After finishing the conversation, Hu Ling waved to the other people listening, "Go, go upstairs."
