I became popular after secret marriage with the actress
Chapter 20 I'm jealous
Lu Qingtong's coquettishness is completely spoiled by others, and her first reaction when she encounters danger and fright is to seek a sense of security and protection from someone she trusts.
Yan Chi holding her hand was her subconscious choice.
It was pitch black all around, and Yan Chi could only feel the soft and warm mass huddled in his arms, trembling slightly because of fear, making a small nasal sound seeking comfort.
Yan Chi knew that Gu Qingtong must be in a panic now, so he just hid in his arms regardless of the night vision cameras installed everywhere in the castle by the program crew.
Vision is weakened in the dark, and the sense of touch in the whole body will only become more acute.
The delusions that were carefully hidden under the light and shadow of the day surfaced little by little.
Yan Chi didn't think she was a gentleman, and she couldn't ignore the softness of a woman clinging to her body.
And Lu Qingtong was still greedy for Yan Chi's familiarity and the atmosphere that gave him a strong sense of security, as if he didn't realize that the other party was gradually becoming a little dangerous.
Yan Chi tightened the hand holding her slightly, and with the other hand, he groped around under the cover of Gu Qingtong's hair scattered behind his shoulders.
Under the eyelids of the camera, he blatantly found Gu Qingtong's covered back neck, rubbed it around the collar, and inadvertently walked down the spine, using gentle techniques to disguise himself as a shepherd comforting the lamb, saying no It is clear whether he is comforting or teasing.
The slightly sinking voice was also suppressing something: "It's all right."
The frank touch of the skin can only temporarily quench the thirst, but the hot tide raised by the fingertips does not know how to calm it down.
Obviously, she wasn't the only one who was suffering. The body under her fingers was obviously stiff but couldn't help shaking, which was the best proof.
No one knew they crossed the line at this time.
Although everyone in the secret room gathered together, the darkness prevented them from seeing what was going on at Lu Qingtong's side.
It can only be judged from the sound that Bai Jin deliberately didn't make a sound just now, and deliberately got close to Gu Qingtong to scare her.
It is estimated that Lu Qingtong is still trembling now, Yan Chi will suddenly say "It's all right" in relief.
Unlike their indifference, Bai Jin was very close to the two of them, the reason why she could quietly and accurately touch Gu Qingtong's side, and she walked lightly and silently was because she was wearing night vision equipment.
She clearly saw the movement that was covered up by Gu Qingtong's screams just now - she retracted into Yan Chi's arms.
Do you throw yourself in the arms of the actress?
Yan Chi didn't dislike her, and even comforted her with a soft attitude of the flower of Gaoling...
No one saw, Bai Jin quietly stared at Gu Qingtong's direction, raised a little smile, and Li Dio and Xiao Huya appeared from this. Anyone who knew her well knew that under this bewildering smile, there was a Stomach bad water.
This Lu Qingtong seemed to be a little more interesting than he imagined.
In addition to Bai Jin, the program team also watched the two people's movements through the camera. Unlike Bai Jin's imagination and guessing, they clearly saw Gu Qingtong who was so frightened that he almost flew up.
Compared with the tension of CP, this hug is better to say that Gu Qingtong unilaterally clings to the straw and does not let go.
It seems that Yan Chi didn't respond to Gu Qingtong's bear hug other than the comforting words, at most he just let her curl up in his arms.
Even though they knew that this was a special shocking blessing, the two were forced to stick together.
But even the crew, judging by the footage, are stunned by the sight of two very different beauties tangled together.
Cool and bright, the temperature difference between the moonlight cold beauty and the fiery red rose, the two of them don't even need to have any interaction, just standing there, it's a match made in heaven.
Just when the film crew was about to point the camera at the two of them and get closer, there seemed to be a sudden turning point between them. Gu Qingtong's body froze for a moment, as if he finally realized what he had done, and panicked again. stand up.
Gu Qingtong woke up the moment Yan Chi touched the back of her neck, her body was afraid of pain and sensitive.
Yan Chi continued to comfort her along the collar, although he said "it's okay", but the cold and seductive touch seemed to ignite a fire on Gu Qingtong's body, wishing for chaos in the world.
A sense of crisis suddenly appeared, and she subconsciously wanted to break free, but she felt confused for a while, Yan Chi didn't seem to do anything?It's really just comforting myself.
Gu Qingtong would never have thought that Yan Chi was a woman who could maintain a steady breathing and an indifferent tone even when she was so abstinent that she couldn't help herself.
Her whole body is cold, and people can't feel her emotion, and it will only make people miss the opportunity to discover the hidden danger.
Yan Chi didn't hold her back at all, and let her leave in a panic at this moment. She knew that the calmer she behaved, the more the other party would understand one thing. Just now, it was Gu Qingtong who slammed into her arms on his own initiative.
It's just to take advantage of the situation to comfort her, so what bad thoughts can there be?
Just as she thought, Gu Qingtong came back to her senses completely, and when she realized what she had done, her simple mind exploded in an instant, and she froze in place, how could she care about Chi Chi's actions just now.
Ahhh!What to do, the camera definitely caught it!
It's over, after all, subconscious actions can't deceive people.
From this act of throwing herself into the arms, Gu Qingtong immediately imagined that the two of them were being targeted by the public, that he affected Yan Chi's career, and even... the marriage of the two might be dug out by the paparazzi.
She wanted to cry, but the two of them were still holding each other's hands until now. To be precise, it was Yan Chi who was still holding her hand firmly.
Gu Qingtong knew that she should avoid talking about it, but she was terrified of this secret room, so she didn't dare to let it go.
Thinking of her disappointment, Gu Qingtong became even more sad.
Forget it, I was scared like this too, the audience should be able to understand... Lu Qingtong took a deep breath.
When Yan Chi heard Gu Qingtong's movements, he knew what she was thinking even with his eyes closed.
Everything went as she expected, but a long-lost sense of guilt suddenly appeared in Yan Chi's heart.
After all, it was me who took advantage of it, not to mention that this time it was just a taste, and it might not be the case next time. It was too bad to make her unclear.
Through the darkness, she looked at Gu Qingtong with more interest.
"Okay, everyone, stop making trouble. Since everyone is here, should we go find clues?"
As the biggest guest in the cafe, Chu Yu has long been used to coordinating everyone. Although Yan Chi has joined now, she can tell from Yan Chi's indifferent attitude that she doesn't care about everyone's affairs.
"You have to find the candles first, but the npc just said that there are only two candles, obviously not enough for the three of us, so whoever gets it will be the one to count."
As soon as this remark came out, the three groups of peace paths were basically cut off.
Didn't Dao Bu prepare two candles just waiting for them to tear them apart?
And because of the large number of people, Bai Jin's three-person group also had a greater advantage in finding things. Everyone wanted to win. After a while, the two groups separated and went to find candles.
Both Gu Qingtong and Yan Chi tacitly did not mention what happened just now, they still acted like they were not familiar with business affairs before.
"Teacher Yan, have you ever played a similar escape room before? If you don't know much about it, you can look for it with me."
Gu Qingtong took the initiative to say, after all, Yan Chi doesn't use the things that young people like to play with on weekdays, and Gu Qingtong is afraid that she has never been exposed to this, and she will leave a bad impression when she comes to participate in an entertainment variety show for the first time.
"Okay, listen to you."
Yan Chi's voice was faint, obviously meant to be obedient, but when she said it from her mouth, for some reason, there was a feeling of pampering Gu Qingtong.
"Then let's go to the restaurant first." Gu Qingtong was quite experienced.
I wanted to see if there were any candlesticks on the dining table. After all, it was obviously impossible not to have a candlelight dinner in this imitation European-style building.
Before coming in, everyone had seen the layout of the castle, and Gu Qingtong even memorized it carefully, so this meeting directly took Yan Chi to walk forward, after all, everyone should be facing the hall directly after entering the castle and stairs, the restaurant needs to go up to the second floor.
She didn't want Lu Qingtong to be grabbed by Yan Chi before she went out, "Going in the wrong direction."
"Ah...ah?" Gu Qingtong blinked in the dark night, still looking quite confused.
However, she knew that she had a poor sense of direction, so she didn't stick to her point of view, so she whispered embarrassedly: "Then Teacher Yan will take me there."
After all, just now I was afraid that Yan Chi would not be familiar with it, but now it seems that I am the silly one.
For someone as nervous as Gu Qingtong, Yan Chi was really worried that she would walk ahead in the dark, feeling that she would trip over something if she was not careful.
So, the two held hands and walked up the stairs one after the other.
When he stepped on the stairs, Gu Qingtong realized that he was indeed looking in the wrong direction. After being made a fuss by Bai Jin just now, the initial direction was already wrong.
Gu Qingtong followed Yan Chi obediently, stepping on her footsteps, not daring to be fast or slow, both afraid of stepping on Yan Chi and afraid of not being able to keep up with her.
But when his pace and speech were unified, Gu Qingtong suddenly heard a discordant weak voice.
She couldn't help turning her head to look behind her, but obviously she didn't see anything.
"What's wrong?" Yan Chi also noticed the sudden change in her.
The voice disappeared without a trace, which made Gu Qingtong suspect that it was her own illusion, so in the end she didn't tell Yan Chi, but just asked:
"Can Teacher Yan see things in the dark night? I can't see anything at all."
It's just because Yan Chi came and went in such a pitch-black environment, it was a little too natural, and he didn't hit any obstacles on the ground once. If it was Lu Qingtong himself, it is estimated that every step would be particularly difficult.
Yan Chi paused for a long time before replying, "I'm used to it, the light from the camera is enough to see a little."
got used to?Gu Qingtong was taken aback for a moment, and was sensitive to the unusualness of this sentence.
But now it's recording a program, so of course she can't ask any more questions, so she replied with a word of caution.
But the program crew who watched them through real-time video pulled the camera behind Gu Qingtong. She guessed right just now, there were indeed people following Gu Yan and the two.
The second floor is empty, and there seems to be no other groups. What's even more strange is that it is clearly said that there are npcs in the castle. Why have you never seen other npcs except the waiter and guide at the beginning?
The silence here felt a bit penetrating, Gu Qingtong only took a quick look into the darkness, then shivered all over, shrinking her neck and quickly followed Yan Chi.
"This is the restaurant, and the kitchen has to go inside."
Finally, Yan Chi stopped and pulled the hands of the two of them forward to touch, and Gu Qingtong clearly touched something that looked like a table.
Just as Gu Qingtong was about to move forward, he was suddenly stopped by Yan Chi.
She clearly felt that Yan Chi's vigilance and sternness had become heavier, as if she had discovered some danger.
"There's something in front, I'll go and have a look, you stay where I am and don't move, I will remember your location and come to you."
After Yan Chi gave an order, he let go of the hand that had been holding Gu Qingtong tightly.
She didn't want to be hooked by Gu Qingtong's wrist eagerly, looked down subconsciously, and saw that she was frightened and said nervously: "Don't, don't go if it's dangerous..."
Because she was worried, Gu Qingtong couldn't hide her concern in her words, and even forgot to add the honorific title of Teacher Yan.
"It shouldn't be a living thing, don't be afraid, and generally such unusual things are often the key to the mission."
"Then if something is wrong, run away immediately," Gu Qingtong hesitated, but let go of Yan Chi's wrist, and finally added cowardly, "Also, remember to come and get me..."
Gu Qingtong couldn't see clearly, and could only listen anxiously to the movement from Yanchi.
After a while, with a strange metal collision sound, a huge bell suddenly rang out all around without warning, echoing in every part of the empty castle.
Yan Chi found the candlestick he wanted on that thing, and there happened to be two candles inside.
Thinking that the kitchen is inside, there should be a way to make a fire and cook, she said to Gu Qingtong: "I got the candle, I will light it first and come back to you."
Lu Qingtong panicked for no reason, and wanted to call Yan Chi's name.
Unexpectedly, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from behind to cover her mouth, and a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Sister, it's me."
It's Bai Jin again... The moment Gu Qingtong heard this voice, her fear turned into anger, and she became restless for a while, not knowing what she wanted to do.
Bai Jin reached out and turned off the microphones on both of them, and then said:
"I got the undercover script in this escape room. Now that the bell is ringing, I have to catch a player into the small black room and get her out." You have to tiptoe to cover her lips tightly.
"Oh my sister, what are you shaking, don't worry, I still can't bear to let you go offline so early, I just came to ask you something."
"Let me be blunt. I saw you flirting with Yan Chi just now. Did you do it on purpose, wanting to climb Yan Chi's high branch?"
Hearing this sentence, Gu Qingtong almost laughed angrily, what kind of imagination is this?
"It's useless. She doesn't like women. She has a cold personality. Yun Mingxuan has tried to curry favor with her many times, and it's embarrassing every time. My sister did that just now, didn't she even hug you?"
Apparently, Bai Jin was just like the program crew, and didn't see Yan Chi's hands acting recklessly under the cover of his figure and hair.
Gu Qingtong couldn't bear it any longer, and pulled Bai Jin's hand off, but didn't say anything late, but asked defensively, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"She's not interested in you, but I am. My company's resources are not much worse than Hua Yan's. What does my sister think?"
The sudden firelight in the kitchen made Gu Qingtong and Bai Jin face each other frankly in the dark.
Just looking at her white and young face, he never expected that Bai Jin would say what he just said.
As an idiot rich for three generations, it's not that Gu Qingtong has never seen these activities of wealthy families and the entertainment industry. She wondered if she would be surrounded by Yingyingyanyan after she became a rich woman... But she never thought about it, how could she Got caught by others first?
"When you said this, if you realized that you were a little outrageous, you wouldn't be so outrageous."
Lu Qingtong didn't control his volume anymore, and Yan Chi who was walking back with the candlestick obviously also saw Bai Jin.
The candle flames danced, and even the light and shadow on Yan Chi's face flickered, looking colder than usual, she raised her eyes and stared at Bai Jin: "What are you doing here?"
The smile on Bai Jin's face remained unchanged, as if he didn't care about Gu Qingtong's rejection at all.
She even reached out her hand to help open the microphone on Gu Qingtong's neckline again.
As if they were blatantly provoking Yan Chi, the two of them said some shameful things just now.
"It's just that I saw Sister Gu and came over to say hello. So you have already got the candlestick? It's really amazing, but you have to hurry up and find clues," she said, turning to Gu Qingtong again, "Sister , I will keep my promise not to arrest you this time, but when the bell rings next time, my target will definitely be you."
After Bai Jin left, the atmosphere between Gu Qingtong and Yan Chi suddenly dropped to freezing point.
The light from the candlestick made the shadows of the two of them very long. At the intersection of the shadows, it was the distance that they couldn't reach in front of the camera.
Gu Qingtong was waiting for Yan Chi to ask himself, but Yan Chi didn't say anything, just quietly lowered his eyelashes.
Soon, all the guests except Bai Jin rushed to the restaurant.
At the moment when the bell rang, everyone almost remembered the time limit of eight o'clock said by the waiter, fearing that they would be punished, so they came directly, but there was a lot of time delay due to stumbling on the road and walking carefully.
Yan Chi brought the lighted candlestick back to the restaurant, and it immediately became the only light source in the dark night, allowing everyone to see the surrounding environment clearly.
Seeing the candlesticks on the table, the eyes of several guests lit up, but they immediately realized that these two candles were found by Gu Qingtong and Yan Chi's group, and they were dejected again.
The most eye-catching thing in the entire restaurant is a simulated corpse.
It was placed on the seat with its head slightly lowered. When looking over, the first sight would be on the overly realistic hair, and one would almost think it was real.
"Hey!" Almost everyone shouted in disgust when they saw it.
"I obviously came to the restaurant just now, why didn't I find the candlestick? Could it be in that thing's arms?"
Chu Yu asked persistently, regretting that she hadn't explored and checked more carefully just now.
"What about Bai Jin? Why don't you see her every time?" Wen Ziyao saw his team lose again, and his temper also came up.
"She seems to be an inner ghost... I feel that she seems to be too sharp in the dark, and something is wrong. After searching, I really found her night vision device. It didn't feel right. I wanted to detain her, but she People are running very fast, and now they don’t know where they are going.”
Deng Dongjun told everyone his discovery.
"I should have known earlier. None of the three houses displayed at that time could accommodate three people. I must have negotiated with Bai Jin in advance about other residences. The condition is to prevent everyone from winning as an insider."
Only then did Gu Qingtong realize that Bai Jin confessed to herself because she had already been exposed.
When the next bell rang, it probably came directly towards her... Lu Qingtong's heart sank.
You can't tell the other groups about this. After all, the three groups are in a competitive relationship. If you can't help them, it's fine. I'm afraid they will join forces with Na Baijin to block themselves.
Just when everyone was guessing the rules, the waiter appeared again.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, he looked thin and pale, and he was a little more terrifying than before when he only had a voice but no image.
"As you can see, the Patriarch passed away this morning on his 70th birthday.
And the seven distinguished guests are all plainclothes detectives I invited to investigate the cause of the death of the Patriarch and the murderer.We have now tentatively identified three suspects, but key evidence is needed to convict.
But it seems that the news has leaked through the insiders among you, and the killer already knows the identity of your detectives and wants to get rid of everyone. "
"Although you have caught the ghost, unfortunately, if no evidence is found, the key will not be given to you, and as long as you don't leave this castle, the game will not end.
Afterwards, every small clock will ring once. The time here is synchronized with reality. There is also a giant clock in the hall for everyone to check the time.
The inner ghost will get the right to get rid of a guest immediately after the bell rings. If you are caught, you will be considered dead. Until your group is destroyed, you can only run or hide in the face of the inner ghost, and you cannot fight back. After four hours, If there are still people who fail to go out, the light of the candle will also fail, and the castle will enter a dark horror night setting. "
Hearing this, Yan Chi suddenly glanced at Gu Qingtong beside him, and she also heard Bai Jin's words that he would come to arrest Gu Qingtong.
Gu Qingtong noticed the gaze and gave her a loveless expression.
Suddenly there was talking and noise downstairs. Everyone looked at the same room, and they all found the house that was empty just now. For some reason, many NPCs suddenly appeared, as if reappearing the appearance of the old castle.
"So many npcs?!"
Gu Qingtong remembers that there are many ways to play in this secret room. This time, because of the filming of the program, I chose the simplified version of the murderer to choose one of three, while the original version does not provide any options. You need to find a needle in a haystack and usually investigate in these NPCs. No wonder some people even play here. It took two days to come out.
"This is the letter of the three suspects. Hurry up, any small detail can be a clue."
The waiter took out three neatly stacked letters from the right breast pocket.
"It was found in the old gentleman's locked drawer, but there was nothing left on the table when I went there. It must have been taken away by the murderer."
The content of the letter is clear.
The first letter came from the head maid. She said that her daughter had reached the age of marriage and wanted to resign, so she could concentrate on marrying her daughter, and asked the old gentleman to approve her resignation letter.
The second letter is from a gardener. He said that he has worked hard for the old man for 20 years, but in the past few years, the old man has begun to dislike his aesthetics and level, and has the intention of dismissing him. Get a pension so that you can open your own flower shop to make a living.
The third letter came from the old man in the basement looking at the wine cellar. In the letter, he reprimanded the old man for plagiarizing his own invention and getting rich gradually by relying on the automatic water pump patent, and asked the old man to change the patent into his own. He even threatened the old man with his dark secret.
The letter was quickly circulated among several people.
"At first glance, this old man in the wine cellar is very suspicious." Deng Dongjun was the first to express his opinion, which was unanimously agreed by Chu Yu and Yu Xi.
"The detectives can investigate on their own. Once you have a conclusion, you can come to the study on the third floor to find me. If the evidence is convincing to solve the case, I will give you the key. Of course, detectives must be careful of the arrest of traitors."
The waiter left with a last word of advice.
Yan Chi didn't wait for everyone to speak, and walked directly to the corpse model, and saw that it was dressed in a decent suit, typical European gentleman's attire.
She checked the pocket up and down, and she found something. It was a pocket watch. When she opened it, there was a black and white photo of a young girl inside.
Naturally, the others would not let Yan Chi swallow the clues all by themselves, so they all took a look.
"Who is this girl? His lover?"
"I know, it's his daughter."
Gu Qingtong pointed to the photo of a family of three in the photo frame on the dining table, and saw that the little girl on it was really the same as the girl in the pocket watch.
The daughter's answer was obviously far from the puzzle. Everyone was a little disappointed and dispersed again.
"How do you divide the candles?" Chu Yu stared at the candlestick on the table for a long time. After all, you can't look for clues in the dark.
Yan Chi didn't care: "Qing Tong and I will use one, and the other four of you will distribute it yourself."
Said to be assigned by themselves, the four of them knew that they were almost bound together to find clues.
Although he was not reconciled, after all, he was indeed found by others, and Yan Chi was not a good person to talk to, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Let's go." Yan Chi removed half of the candlestick and said to Gu Qingtong.
Under the gaze of everyone, the two left directly to find clues.
"Teacher Yan looks so reliable." Yu Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, almost expressing everyone's feelings.
How can there be such a perfect person in the world, who can do everything to the best.
At the same time, several people also thought sourly in their hearts, what kind of luck is Gu Qingtong, he won by forming a team with a full-level boss if no one was chosen.
I just don't know if Yanchi will replace his partner in the next issue.
And the other side.
"Senior, Bai Jin is going to arrest me later," Gu Qingtong complained to Yan Chi as soon as he walked out of the restaurant, "I can't fight back, I can only hide and run, what should I do..."
Yan Chi looked at Gu Qingtong's heartless look as his scar healed and he forgot the pain, the possessiveness and jealousy in his heart dissipated a bit:
"Learn a lesson, and don't provoke others next time."
Lu Qingtong was even more wronged, how could she provoke others!
It was obvious that he was obsessed with it out of nowhere, and he was stalked as soon as he appeared on the stage, but he avoided it in every possible way before.
"Let's see if we can solve the case before the bell rings. If not, we can just hide." Yan Chi finally let go.
Seeing that Yan Chi was finally willing to help him, Gu Qingtong's aggrieved Mao Mao's face suddenly jumped up again: "This investigation is quite interesting, which suspect should we investigate first?"
"Do you think the contents of the letter are true?" Yan Chi raised the candlestick a little higher to illuminate the NPCs in the hall below, "Go and ask them how the real situation is."
Gu Qingtong was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, there was something unreasonable, for example, if an old man looking at a wine cellar really knows how to invent patents, why would he stay in this narrow basement?
I'm afraid that everyone's letters describe themselves as the party of justice.
"The head maid? She is an honest person. You said she is going to resign? Why is it so sudden? I haven't heard of it before. Is there something wrong at home?"
The maid who wiped the counter with a feather duster paused, as if hearing it for the first time.
"Her daughter? She's been living with us all the time. Isn't she single for a long time? How could she suddenly want to get married? But speaking of it, her daughter is indeed not here these days, maybe she went on a blind date?"
Gu Qingtong didn't expect that the most normal letter was also a lie, so he randomly analyzed it:
"In other words, she resigned suddenly because something happened suddenly, and she couldn't stay here any longer. Her daughter's marriage was just a cover."
Yan Chi didn't answer, but asked the maid if she knew about the Patriarch's daughter.
"The owner's daughter, we all know that she passed away due to illness when she was 18 years old. The owner has always missed her very much. In the pocket watch, on the table in the dining room of the study, there are photos of her and her daughter from the past."
Repeating these methods, the two learned the real image of the latter two from the npc.
The second gardener was dismissed because he likes to gamble too much. The gardening has always been sloppy, and he has cheated a lot of pensions from the owner in various ways. In order to pay off his gambling debts, he lost his face.
Not to mention the third old man, he is a pure alcoholic looking at the wine cellar, living in his own imaginary world, insisting that the automatic water pump that brings wealth to the owner of the house is his creation when he is drunk, and he is completely different when he is sober , is very loyal to the Patriarch, so he has not been dismissed until now.
"Is everyone really suspicious?" Gu Qingtong asked in surprise.
Yan Chi checked the time as he passed by the lobby, and the next bell would ring in 10 minutes.
The main reason is that the six people spent too long listening to the rules in the restaurant.
It seems that we have to prepare for the second kind.
The room of the three suspects is allowed to enter and investigate, but the parties are not there, so there is no way to interrogate them.
Yan Chi's first investigation was the head maid's room. As soon as she entered, she was attracted by a set of medieval dress hats hanging on the hanger. Unlike the dusty clothes on the NPC, this dress could be seen at a glance. Its materials are expensive.
"Can my daughter really afford such exquisite clothes?"
Gu Qingtong grumbled, and looked at the wooden wardrobe next to it. It was dilapidated and had only one door, but the inside was empty. It seemed that all the daily clothes had been taken away, except for this gorgeous one.
Yan Chi looked at the wardrobe, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if thoughtful.
Spreading the suit on the table, Gu Qingtong couldn't help exclaiming: "This dress is the same as the dress worn by the girl in the photo in the pocket watch."
Beautiful clothes and jewelry are Gu Qingtong's hobbies, and she can easily recognize the similarity between the two sets of clothes.
Moreover, this kind of clothes were all custom-made by tailors at that time, and they had to be so similar, unless they were intentional.
"It was given by the head of the family... to play his daughter?"
The owner's daughter died at a young age, and the owner missed her so much that she became ill. The head maid's daughter, who grew up in the old castle, made the family take the initiative to think differently, and even gave her the same clothes as his daughter.
Did the head maid find out about all this and was eager to stop it, so she resigned and married off her daughter?
"It's estimated that we won't be able to go to the basement in time. Let's go to the gardener's room first."
Almost all the servants in the castle live in this area, and the next room is next door.
The gardener's room was quite poor, and it seemed that everything of value had been sold, except for a bed and a broken wooden table.
There were piles of IOUs on the table, but when they picked them up to look at them, they found that all of them had been paid off and the specific date was written on them.
"Did the gardener still get the pension from the owner?" Gu Qingtong tapped his head, somewhat unable to get around, "But the gardener said that the owner will no longer give it to him."
"Or murder for money? To pay off the debt, I asked for a pension, but the head of the family refused to give it, so I turned my face and killed him on the spot and took the money?"
Yan Chi shook his head:
"If the owner of the family was killed today, the date is wrong. According to the date displayed on the clock face, the IOU has been paid off two days ago, which happens to be the third day of the date on the three letters. Most likely The owner did give him the money after reading the letter."
"Have you memorized the time so quickly?!" Gu Qingtong blinked in disbelief and exclaimed.
At this moment, a bell rang outside, and both of them realized what was going to happen.
The case was not solved within the time limit. Although I already knew the general course of the incident in my heart, there was one thing that didn't make sense.
Yan Chi thought of the wound shown on the corpse model, which was quite violent. The murderer she thought didn't seem to have the physique and strength to kill the Patriarch in this way...
Yan Chi withdrew his thoughts and blew out the candles. In such a dark environment, lighting a candle was like telling Bai Jin clearly where they were.
Lu Qingtong also panicked, and could only follow Yan Chi closely, only to find that Yan Chi had returned to the room of the head maid just now.
Pulling open the empty closet door just now, Yan Chi said in a low voice, "Hide in when you get close."
"Hide... Hide in? The two of us together? But there is still half of the door gone." Gu Qingtong was stunned.
"It's too late. There are only a few rooms where clues can be found, and Bai Jin followed us just now, but you didn't see it."
In the darkness, Yan Chi's expression could not be seen at all.
It seemed that in order to prove her words, Gu Qingtong really heard footsteps from far to near, and it was Bai Jin's provocation.
She can obviously be silent, but she must approach every step of the way, so that the prey will be afraid,
Gu Qingtong leaned tightly against the inside of the closet, leaving a place for Yan Chi.
In the next second, she felt Yan Chi leaning in and pressing close to her, and she seemed to feel the burning heat of Yan Chi's breathing at the tips of her ears.
There were no gaps in the narrow space. For the first time, Gu Qingtong felt that Yan Chi, whose body temperature was lower than that of ordinary people, was also burning hot all over. She was a little unbearably burned by the pressure and heat, and she couldn't help but let out a little hum.
Little did they know that the skin friction of these clothing materials and the sound of dry and hot breathing were clearly recorded in the microphone.
The program team knew that the two were hiding in the closet, but there was no camera to capture them. When they heard this dreamy voice, they couldn't help coughing twice in embarrassment.
At this moment, the microphones of the two were cut off one by one, and there was a bit of beeping noise.
The film crew was seeing the excitement, and hurriedly switched to Bai Jin's perspective.
Sure enough, Bai Jin came in. She looked around, and her eyes fell on the wardrobe with only half a door left. She seemed to see something of interest, and took a few steps forward.
Gu Qingtong only felt that Bai Jin was separated from him by a wooden door, and he dared not breathe for fear of being discovered.
But at this moment, Yan Chi took a deep breath, opened his eyes contentedly, his eyes seemed to have darkened, raised his head slightly, and unintentionally put his lips on the tip of Gu Qingtong's ear, and opened his lips in the next second. Grinding her ears lightly, she said harshly in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Not allowed next time."
Yan Chi holding her hand was her subconscious choice.
It was pitch black all around, and Yan Chi could only feel the soft and warm mass huddled in his arms, trembling slightly because of fear, making a small nasal sound seeking comfort.
Yan Chi knew that Gu Qingtong must be in a panic now, so he just hid in his arms regardless of the night vision cameras installed everywhere in the castle by the program crew.
Vision is weakened in the dark, and the sense of touch in the whole body will only become more acute.
The delusions that were carefully hidden under the light and shadow of the day surfaced little by little.
Yan Chi didn't think she was a gentleman, and she couldn't ignore the softness of a woman clinging to her body.
And Lu Qingtong was still greedy for Yan Chi's familiarity and the atmosphere that gave him a strong sense of security, as if he didn't realize that the other party was gradually becoming a little dangerous.
Yan Chi tightened the hand holding her slightly, and with the other hand, he groped around under the cover of Gu Qingtong's hair scattered behind his shoulders.
Under the eyelids of the camera, he blatantly found Gu Qingtong's covered back neck, rubbed it around the collar, and inadvertently walked down the spine, using gentle techniques to disguise himself as a shepherd comforting the lamb, saying no It is clear whether he is comforting or teasing.
The slightly sinking voice was also suppressing something: "It's all right."
The frank touch of the skin can only temporarily quench the thirst, but the hot tide raised by the fingertips does not know how to calm it down.
Obviously, she wasn't the only one who was suffering. The body under her fingers was obviously stiff but couldn't help shaking, which was the best proof.
No one knew they crossed the line at this time.
Although everyone in the secret room gathered together, the darkness prevented them from seeing what was going on at Lu Qingtong's side.
It can only be judged from the sound that Bai Jin deliberately didn't make a sound just now, and deliberately got close to Gu Qingtong to scare her.
It is estimated that Lu Qingtong is still trembling now, Yan Chi will suddenly say "It's all right" in relief.
Unlike their indifference, Bai Jin was very close to the two of them, the reason why she could quietly and accurately touch Gu Qingtong's side, and she walked lightly and silently was because she was wearing night vision equipment.
She clearly saw the movement that was covered up by Gu Qingtong's screams just now - she retracted into Yan Chi's arms.
Do you throw yourself in the arms of the actress?
Yan Chi didn't dislike her, and even comforted her with a soft attitude of the flower of Gaoling...
No one saw, Bai Jin quietly stared at Gu Qingtong's direction, raised a little smile, and Li Dio and Xiao Huya appeared from this. Anyone who knew her well knew that under this bewildering smile, there was a Stomach bad water.
This Lu Qingtong seemed to be a little more interesting than he imagined.
In addition to Bai Jin, the program team also watched the two people's movements through the camera. Unlike Bai Jin's imagination and guessing, they clearly saw Gu Qingtong who was so frightened that he almost flew up.
Compared with the tension of CP, this hug is better to say that Gu Qingtong unilaterally clings to the straw and does not let go.
It seems that Yan Chi didn't respond to Gu Qingtong's bear hug other than the comforting words, at most he just let her curl up in his arms.
Even though they knew that this was a special shocking blessing, the two were forced to stick together.
But even the crew, judging by the footage, are stunned by the sight of two very different beauties tangled together.
Cool and bright, the temperature difference between the moonlight cold beauty and the fiery red rose, the two of them don't even need to have any interaction, just standing there, it's a match made in heaven.
Just when the film crew was about to point the camera at the two of them and get closer, there seemed to be a sudden turning point between them. Gu Qingtong's body froze for a moment, as if he finally realized what he had done, and panicked again. stand up.
Gu Qingtong woke up the moment Yan Chi touched the back of her neck, her body was afraid of pain and sensitive.
Yan Chi continued to comfort her along the collar, although he said "it's okay", but the cold and seductive touch seemed to ignite a fire on Gu Qingtong's body, wishing for chaos in the world.
A sense of crisis suddenly appeared, and she subconsciously wanted to break free, but she felt confused for a while, Yan Chi didn't seem to do anything?It's really just comforting myself.
Gu Qingtong would never have thought that Yan Chi was a woman who could maintain a steady breathing and an indifferent tone even when she was so abstinent that she couldn't help herself.
Her whole body is cold, and people can't feel her emotion, and it will only make people miss the opportunity to discover the hidden danger.
Yan Chi didn't hold her back at all, and let her leave in a panic at this moment. She knew that the calmer she behaved, the more the other party would understand one thing. Just now, it was Gu Qingtong who slammed into her arms on his own initiative.
It's just to take advantage of the situation to comfort her, so what bad thoughts can there be?
Just as she thought, Gu Qingtong came back to her senses completely, and when she realized what she had done, her simple mind exploded in an instant, and she froze in place, how could she care about Chi Chi's actions just now.
Ahhh!What to do, the camera definitely caught it!
It's over, after all, subconscious actions can't deceive people.
From this act of throwing herself into the arms, Gu Qingtong immediately imagined that the two of them were being targeted by the public, that he affected Yan Chi's career, and even... the marriage of the two might be dug out by the paparazzi.
She wanted to cry, but the two of them were still holding each other's hands until now. To be precise, it was Yan Chi who was still holding her hand firmly.
Gu Qingtong knew that she should avoid talking about it, but she was terrified of this secret room, so she didn't dare to let it go.
Thinking of her disappointment, Gu Qingtong became even more sad.
Forget it, I was scared like this too, the audience should be able to understand... Lu Qingtong took a deep breath.
When Yan Chi heard Gu Qingtong's movements, he knew what she was thinking even with his eyes closed.
Everything went as she expected, but a long-lost sense of guilt suddenly appeared in Yan Chi's heart.
After all, it was me who took advantage of it, not to mention that this time it was just a taste, and it might not be the case next time. It was too bad to make her unclear.
Through the darkness, she looked at Gu Qingtong with more interest.
"Okay, everyone, stop making trouble. Since everyone is here, should we go find clues?"
As the biggest guest in the cafe, Chu Yu has long been used to coordinating everyone. Although Yan Chi has joined now, she can tell from Yan Chi's indifferent attitude that she doesn't care about everyone's affairs.
"You have to find the candles first, but the npc just said that there are only two candles, obviously not enough for the three of us, so whoever gets it will be the one to count."
As soon as this remark came out, the three groups of peace paths were basically cut off.
Didn't Dao Bu prepare two candles just waiting for them to tear them apart?
And because of the large number of people, Bai Jin's three-person group also had a greater advantage in finding things. Everyone wanted to win. After a while, the two groups separated and went to find candles.
Both Gu Qingtong and Yan Chi tacitly did not mention what happened just now, they still acted like they were not familiar with business affairs before.
"Teacher Yan, have you ever played a similar escape room before? If you don't know much about it, you can look for it with me."
Gu Qingtong took the initiative to say, after all, Yan Chi doesn't use the things that young people like to play with on weekdays, and Gu Qingtong is afraid that she has never been exposed to this, and she will leave a bad impression when she comes to participate in an entertainment variety show for the first time.
"Okay, listen to you."
Yan Chi's voice was faint, obviously meant to be obedient, but when she said it from her mouth, for some reason, there was a feeling of pampering Gu Qingtong.
"Then let's go to the restaurant first." Gu Qingtong was quite experienced.
I wanted to see if there were any candlesticks on the dining table. After all, it was obviously impossible not to have a candlelight dinner in this imitation European-style building.
Before coming in, everyone had seen the layout of the castle, and Gu Qingtong even memorized it carefully, so this meeting directly took Yan Chi to walk forward, after all, everyone should be facing the hall directly after entering the castle and stairs, the restaurant needs to go up to the second floor.
She didn't want Lu Qingtong to be grabbed by Yan Chi before she went out, "Going in the wrong direction."
"Ah...ah?" Gu Qingtong blinked in the dark night, still looking quite confused.
However, she knew that she had a poor sense of direction, so she didn't stick to her point of view, so she whispered embarrassedly: "Then Teacher Yan will take me there."
After all, just now I was afraid that Yan Chi would not be familiar with it, but now it seems that I am the silly one.
For someone as nervous as Gu Qingtong, Yan Chi was really worried that she would walk ahead in the dark, feeling that she would trip over something if she was not careful.
So, the two held hands and walked up the stairs one after the other.
When he stepped on the stairs, Gu Qingtong realized that he was indeed looking in the wrong direction. After being made a fuss by Bai Jin just now, the initial direction was already wrong.
Gu Qingtong followed Yan Chi obediently, stepping on her footsteps, not daring to be fast or slow, both afraid of stepping on Yan Chi and afraid of not being able to keep up with her.
But when his pace and speech were unified, Gu Qingtong suddenly heard a discordant weak voice.
She couldn't help turning her head to look behind her, but obviously she didn't see anything.
"What's wrong?" Yan Chi also noticed the sudden change in her.
The voice disappeared without a trace, which made Gu Qingtong suspect that it was her own illusion, so in the end she didn't tell Yan Chi, but just asked:
"Can Teacher Yan see things in the dark night? I can't see anything at all."
It's just because Yan Chi came and went in such a pitch-black environment, it was a little too natural, and he didn't hit any obstacles on the ground once. If it was Lu Qingtong himself, it is estimated that every step would be particularly difficult.
Yan Chi paused for a long time before replying, "I'm used to it, the light from the camera is enough to see a little."
got used to?Gu Qingtong was taken aback for a moment, and was sensitive to the unusualness of this sentence.
But now it's recording a program, so of course she can't ask any more questions, so she replied with a word of caution.
But the program crew who watched them through real-time video pulled the camera behind Gu Qingtong. She guessed right just now, there were indeed people following Gu Yan and the two.
The second floor is empty, and there seems to be no other groups. What's even more strange is that it is clearly said that there are npcs in the castle. Why have you never seen other npcs except the waiter and guide at the beginning?
The silence here felt a bit penetrating, Gu Qingtong only took a quick look into the darkness, then shivered all over, shrinking her neck and quickly followed Yan Chi.
"This is the restaurant, and the kitchen has to go inside."
Finally, Yan Chi stopped and pulled the hands of the two of them forward to touch, and Gu Qingtong clearly touched something that looked like a table.
Just as Gu Qingtong was about to move forward, he was suddenly stopped by Yan Chi.
She clearly felt that Yan Chi's vigilance and sternness had become heavier, as if she had discovered some danger.
"There's something in front, I'll go and have a look, you stay where I am and don't move, I will remember your location and come to you."
After Yan Chi gave an order, he let go of the hand that had been holding Gu Qingtong tightly.
She didn't want to be hooked by Gu Qingtong's wrist eagerly, looked down subconsciously, and saw that she was frightened and said nervously: "Don't, don't go if it's dangerous..."
Because she was worried, Gu Qingtong couldn't hide her concern in her words, and even forgot to add the honorific title of Teacher Yan.
"It shouldn't be a living thing, don't be afraid, and generally such unusual things are often the key to the mission."
"Then if something is wrong, run away immediately," Gu Qingtong hesitated, but let go of Yan Chi's wrist, and finally added cowardly, "Also, remember to come and get me..."
Gu Qingtong couldn't see clearly, and could only listen anxiously to the movement from Yanchi.
After a while, with a strange metal collision sound, a huge bell suddenly rang out all around without warning, echoing in every part of the empty castle.
Yan Chi found the candlestick he wanted on that thing, and there happened to be two candles inside.
Thinking that the kitchen is inside, there should be a way to make a fire and cook, she said to Gu Qingtong: "I got the candle, I will light it first and come back to you."
Lu Qingtong panicked for no reason, and wanted to call Yan Chi's name.
Unexpectedly, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from behind to cover her mouth, and a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Sister, it's me."
It's Bai Jin again... The moment Gu Qingtong heard this voice, her fear turned into anger, and she became restless for a while, not knowing what she wanted to do.
Bai Jin reached out and turned off the microphones on both of them, and then said:
"I got the undercover script in this escape room. Now that the bell is ringing, I have to catch a player into the small black room and get her out." You have to tiptoe to cover her lips tightly.
"Oh my sister, what are you shaking, don't worry, I still can't bear to let you go offline so early, I just came to ask you something."
"Let me be blunt. I saw you flirting with Yan Chi just now. Did you do it on purpose, wanting to climb Yan Chi's high branch?"
Hearing this sentence, Gu Qingtong almost laughed angrily, what kind of imagination is this?
"It's useless. She doesn't like women. She has a cold personality. Yun Mingxuan has tried to curry favor with her many times, and it's embarrassing every time. My sister did that just now, didn't she even hug you?"
Apparently, Bai Jin was just like the program crew, and didn't see Yan Chi's hands acting recklessly under the cover of his figure and hair.
Gu Qingtong couldn't bear it any longer, and pulled Bai Jin's hand off, but didn't say anything late, but asked defensively, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"She's not interested in you, but I am. My company's resources are not much worse than Hua Yan's. What does my sister think?"
The sudden firelight in the kitchen made Gu Qingtong and Bai Jin face each other frankly in the dark.
Just looking at her white and young face, he never expected that Bai Jin would say what he just said.
As an idiot rich for three generations, it's not that Gu Qingtong has never seen these activities of wealthy families and the entertainment industry. She wondered if she would be surrounded by Yingyingyanyan after she became a rich woman... But she never thought about it, how could she Got caught by others first?
"When you said this, if you realized that you were a little outrageous, you wouldn't be so outrageous."
Lu Qingtong didn't control his volume anymore, and Yan Chi who was walking back with the candlestick obviously also saw Bai Jin.
The candle flames danced, and even the light and shadow on Yan Chi's face flickered, looking colder than usual, she raised her eyes and stared at Bai Jin: "What are you doing here?"
The smile on Bai Jin's face remained unchanged, as if he didn't care about Gu Qingtong's rejection at all.
She even reached out her hand to help open the microphone on Gu Qingtong's neckline again.
As if they were blatantly provoking Yan Chi, the two of them said some shameful things just now.
"It's just that I saw Sister Gu and came over to say hello. So you have already got the candlestick? It's really amazing, but you have to hurry up and find clues," she said, turning to Gu Qingtong again, "Sister , I will keep my promise not to arrest you this time, but when the bell rings next time, my target will definitely be you."
After Bai Jin left, the atmosphere between Gu Qingtong and Yan Chi suddenly dropped to freezing point.
The light from the candlestick made the shadows of the two of them very long. At the intersection of the shadows, it was the distance that they couldn't reach in front of the camera.
Gu Qingtong was waiting for Yan Chi to ask himself, but Yan Chi didn't say anything, just quietly lowered his eyelashes.
Soon, all the guests except Bai Jin rushed to the restaurant.
At the moment when the bell rang, everyone almost remembered the time limit of eight o'clock said by the waiter, fearing that they would be punished, so they came directly, but there was a lot of time delay due to stumbling on the road and walking carefully.
Yan Chi brought the lighted candlestick back to the restaurant, and it immediately became the only light source in the dark night, allowing everyone to see the surrounding environment clearly.
Seeing the candlesticks on the table, the eyes of several guests lit up, but they immediately realized that these two candles were found by Gu Qingtong and Yan Chi's group, and they were dejected again.
The most eye-catching thing in the entire restaurant is a simulated corpse.
It was placed on the seat with its head slightly lowered. When looking over, the first sight would be on the overly realistic hair, and one would almost think it was real.
"Hey!" Almost everyone shouted in disgust when they saw it.
"I obviously came to the restaurant just now, why didn't I find the candlestick? Could it be in that thing's arms?"
Chu Yu asked persistently, regretting that she hadn't explored and checked more carefully just now.
"What about Bai Jin? Why don't you see her every time?" Wen Ziyao saw his team lose again, and his temper also came up.
"She seems to be an inner ghost... I feel that she seems to be too sharp in the dark, and something is wrong. After searching, I really found her night vision device. It didn't feel right. I wanted to detain her, but she People are running very fast, and now they don’t know where they are going.”
Deng Dongjun told everyone his discovery.
"I should have known earlier. None of the three houses displayed at that time could accommodate three people. I must have negotiated with Bai Jin in advance about other residences. The condition is to prevent everyone from winning as an insider."
Only then did Gu Qingtong realize that Bai Jin confessed to herself because she had already been exposed.
When the next bell rang, it probably came directly towards her... Lu Qingtong's heart sank.
You can't tell the other groups about this. After all, the three groups are in a competitive relationship. If you can't help them, it's fine. I'm afraid they will join forces with Na Baijin to block themselves.
Just when everyone was guessing the rules, the waiter appeared again.
Under the illumination of the candlelight, he looked thin and pale, and he was a little more terrifying than before when he only had a voice but no image.
"As you can see, the Patriarch passed away this morning on his 70th birthday.
And the seven distinguished guests are all plainclothes detectives I invited to investigate the cause of the death of the Patriarch and the murderer.We have now tentatively identified three suspects, but key evidence is needed to convict.
But it seems that the news has leaked through the insiders among you, and the killer already knows the identity of your detectives and wants to get rid of everyone. "
"Although you have caught the ghost, unfortunately, if no evidence is found, the key will not be given to you, and as long as you don't leave this castle, the game will not end.
Afterwards, every small clock will ring once. The time here is synchronized with reality. There is also a giant clock in the hall for everyone to check the time.
The inner ghost will get the right to get rid of a guest immediately after the bell rings. If you are caught, you will be considered dead. Until your group is destroyed, you can only run or hide in the face of the inner ghost, and you cannot fight back. After four hours, If there are still people who fail to go out, the light of the candle will also fail, and the castle will enter a dark horror night setting. "
Hearing this, Yan Chi suddenly glanced at Gu Qingtong beside him, and she also heard Bai Jin's words that he would come to arrest Gu Qingtong.
Gu Qingtong noticed the gaze and gave her a loveless expression.
Suddenly there was talking and noise downstairs. Everyone looked at the same room, and they all found the house that was empty just now. For some reason, many NPCs suddenly appeared, as if reappearing the appearance of the old castle.
"So many npcs?!"
Gu Qingtong remembers that there are many ways to play in this secret room. This time, because of the filming of the program, I chose the simplified version of the murderer to choose one of three, while the original version does not provide any options. You need to find a needle in a haystack and usually investigate in these NPCs. No wonder some people even play here. It took two days to come out.
"This is the letter of the three suspects. Hurry up, any small detail can be a clue."
The waiter took out three neatly stacked letters from the right breast pocket.
"It was found in the old gentleman's locked drawer, but there was nothing left on the table when I went there. It must have been taken away by the murderer."
The content of the letter is clear.
The first letter came from the head maid. She said that her daughter had reached the age of marriage and wanted to resign, so she could concentrate on marrying her daughter, and asked the old gentleman to approve her resignation letter.
The second letter is from a gardener. He said that he has worked hard for the old man for 20 years, but in the past few years, the old man has begun to dislike his aesthetics and level, and has the intention of dismissing him. Get a pension so that you can open your own flower shop to make a living.
The third letter came from the old man in the basement looking at the wine cellar. In the letter, he reprimanded the old man for plagiarizing his own invention and getting rich gradually by relying on the automatic water pump patent, and asked the old man to change the patent into his own. He even threatened the old man with his dark secret.
The letter was quickly circulated among several people.
"At first glance, this old man in the wine cellar is very suspicious." Deng Dongjun was the first to express his opinion, which was unanimously agreed by Chu Yu and Yu Xi.
"The detectives can investigate on their own. Once you have a conclusion, you can come to the study on the third floor to find me. If the evidence is convincing to solve the case, I will give you the key. Of course, detectives must be careful of the arrest of traitors."
The waiter left with a last word of advice.
Yan Chi didn't wait for everyone to speak, and walked directly to the corpse model, and saw that it was dressed in a decent suit, typical European gentleman's attire.
She checked the pocket up and down, and she found something. It was a pocket watch. When she opened it, there was a black and white photo of a young girl inside.
Naturally, the others would not let Yan Chi swallow the clues all by themselves, so they all took a look.
"Who is this girl? His lover?"
"I know, it's his daughter."
Gu Qingtong pointed to the photo of a family of three in the photo frame on the dining table, and saw that the little girl on it was really the same as the girl in the pocket watch.
The daughter's answer was obviously far from the puzzle. Everyone was a little disappointed and dispersed again.
"How do you divide the candles?" Chu Yu stared at the candlestick on the table for a long time. After all, you can't look for clues in the dark.
Yan Chi didn't care: "Qing Tong and I will use one, and the other four of you will distribute it yourself."
Said to be assigned by themselves, the four of them knew that they were almost bound together to find clues.
Although he was not reconciled, after all, he was indeed found by others, and Yan Chi was not a good person to talk to, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Let's go." Yan Chi removed half of the candlestick and said to Gu Qingtong.
Under the gaze of everyone, the two left directly to find clues.
"Teacher Yan looks so reliable." Yu Xi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, almost expressing everyone's feelings.
How can there be such a perfect person in the world, who can do everything to the best.
At the same time, several people also thought sourly in their hearts, what kind of luck is Gu Qingtong, he won by forming a team with a full-level boss if no one was chosen.
I just don't know if Yanchi will replace his partner in the next issue.
And the other side.
"Senior, Bai Jin is going to arrest me later," Gu Qingtong complained to Yan Chi as soon as he walked out of the restaurant, "I can't fight back, I can only hide and run, what should I do..."
Yan Chi looked at Gu Qingtong's heartless look as his scar healed and he forgot the pain, the possessiveness and jealousy in his heart dissipated a bit:
"Learn a lesson, and don't provoke others next time."
Lu Qingtong was even more wronged, how could she provoke others!
It was obvious that he was obsessed with it out of nowhere, and he was stalked as soon as he appeared on the stage, but he avoided it in every possible way before.
"Let's see if we can solve the case before the bell rings. If not, we can just hide." Yan Chi finally let go.
Seeing that Yan Chi was finally willing to help him, Gu Qingtong's aggrieved Mao Mao's face suddenly jumped up again: "This investigation is quite interesting, which suspect should we investigate first?"
"Do you think the contents of the letter are true?" Yan Chi raised the candlestick a little higher to illuminate the NPCs in the hall below, "Go and ask them how the real situation is."
Gu Qingtong was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, there was something unreasonable, for example, if an old man looking at a wine cellar really knows how to invent patents, why would he stay in this narrow basement?
I'm afraid that everyone's letters describe themselves as the party of justice.
"The head maid? She is an honest person. You said she is going to resign? Why is it so sudden? I haven't heard of it before. Is there something wrong at home?"
The maid who wiped the counter with a feather duster paused, as if hearing it for the first time.
"Her daughter? She's been living with us all the time. Isn't she single for a long time? How could she suddenly want to get married? But speaking of it, her daughter is indeed not here these days, maybe she went on a blind date?"
Gu Qingtong didn't expect that the most normal letter was also a lie, so he randomly analyzed it:
"In other words, she resigned suddenly because something happened suddenly, and she couldn't stay here any longer. Her daughter's marriage was just a cover."
Yan Chi didn't answer, but asked the maid if she knew about the Patriarch's daughter.
"The owner's daughter, we all know that she passed away due to illness when she was 18 years old. The owner has always missed her very much. In the pocket watch, on the table in the dining room of the study, there are photos of her and her daughter from the past."
Repeating these methods, the two learned the real image of the latter two from the npc.
The second gardener was dismissed because he likes to gamble too much. The gardening has always been sloppy, and he has cheated a lot of pensions from the owner in various ways. In order to pay off his gambling debts, he lost his face.
Not to mention the third old man, he is a pure alcoholic looking at the wine cellar, living in his own imaginary world, insisting that the automatic water pump that brings wealth to the owner of the house is his creation when he is drunk, and he is completely different when he is sober , is very loyal to the Patriarch, so he has not been dismissed until now.
"Is everyone really suspicious?" Gu Qingtong asked in surprise.
Yan Chi checked the time as he passed by the lobby, and the next bell would ring in 10 minutes.
The main reason is that the six people spent too long listening to the rules in the restaurant.
It seems that we have to prepare for the second kind.
The room of the three suspects is allowed to enter and investigate, but the parties are not there, so there is no way to interrogate them.
Yan Chi's first investigation was the head maid's room. As soon as she entered, she was attracted by a set of medieval dress hats hanging on the hanger. Unlike the dusty clothes on the NPC, this dress could be seen at a glance. Its materials are expensive.
"Can my daughter really afford such exquisite clothes?"
Gu Qingtong grumbled, and looked at the wooden wardrobe next to it. It was dilapidated and had only one door, but the inside was empty. It seemed that all the daily clothes had been taken away, except for this gorgeous one.
Yan Chi looked at the wardrobe, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if thoughtful.
Spreading the suit on the table, Gu Qingtong couldn't help exclaiming: "This dress is the same as the dress worn by the girl in the photo in the pocket watch."
Beautiful clothes and jewelry are Gu Qingtong's hobbies, and she can easily recognize the similarity between the two sets of clothes.
Moreover, this kind of clothes were all custom-made by tailors at that time, and they had to be so similar, unless they were intentional.
"It was given by the head of the family... to play his daughter?"
The owner's daughter died at a young age, and the owner missed her so much that she became ill. The head maid's daughter, who grew up in the old castle, made the family take the initiative to think differently, and even gave her the same clothes as his daughter.
Did the head maid find out about all this and was eager to stop it, so she resigned and married off her daughter?
"It's estimated that we won't be able to go to the basement in time. Let's go to the gardener's room first."
Almost all the servants in the castle live in this area, and the next room is next door.
The gardener's room was quite poor, and it seemed that everything of value had been sold, except for a bed and a broken wooden table.
There were piles of IOUs on the table, but when they picked them up to look at them, they found that all of them had been paid off and the specific date was written on them.
"Did the gardener still get the pension from the owner?" Gu Qingtong tapped his head, somewhat unable to get around, "But the gardener said that the owner will no longer give it to him."
"Or murder for money? To pay off the debt, I asked for a pension, but the head of the family refused to give it, so I turned my face and killed him on the spot and took the money?"
Yan Chi shook his head:
"If the owner of the family was killed today, the date is wrong. According to the date displayed on the clock face, the IOU has been paid off two days ago, which happens to be the third day of the date on the three letters. Most likely The owner did give him the money after reading the letter."
"Have you memorized the time so quickly?!" Gu Qingtong blinked in disbelief and exclaimed.
At this moment, a bell rang outside, and both of them realized what was going to happen.
The case was not solved within the time limit. Although I already knew the general course of the incident in my heart, there was one thing that didn't make sense.
Yan Chi thought of the wound shown on the corpse model, which was quite violent. The murderer she thought didn't seem to have the physique and strength to kill the Patriarch in this way...
Yan Chi withdrew his thoughts and blew out the candles. In such a dark environment, lighting a candle was like telling Bai Jin clearly where they were.
Lu Qingtong also panicked, and could only follow Yan Chi closely, only to find that Yan Chi had returned to the room of the head maid just now.
Pulling open the empty closet door just now, Yan Chi said in a low voice, "Hide in when you get close."
"Hide... Hide in? The two of us together? But there is still half of the door gone." Gu Qingtong was stunned.
"It's too late. There are only a few rooms where clues can be found, and Bai Jin followed us just now, but you didn't see it."
In the darkness, Yan Chi's expression could not be seen at all.
It seemed that in order to prove her words, Gu Qingtong really heard footsteps from far to near, and it was Bai Jin's provocation.
She can obviously be silent, but she must approach every step of the way, so that the prey will be afraid,
Gu Qingtong leaned tightly against the inside of the closet, leaving a place for Yan Chi.
In the next second, she felt Yan Chi leaning in and pressing close to her, and she seemed to feel the burning heat of Yan Chi's breathing at the tips of her ears.
There were no gaps in the narrow space. For the first time, Gu Qingtong felt that Yan Chi, whose body temperature was lower than that of ordinary people, was also burning hot all over. She was a little unbearably burned by the pressure and heat, and she couldn't help but let out a little hum.
Little did they know that the skin friction of these clothing materials and the sound of dry and hot breathing were clearly recorded in the microphone.
The program team knew that the two were hiding in the closet, but there was no camera to capture them. When they heard this dreamy voice, they couldn't help coughing twice in embarrassment.
At this moment, the microphones of the two were cut off one by one, and there was a bit of beeping noise.
The film crew was seeing the excitement, and hurriedly switched to Bai Jin's perspective.
Sure enough, Bai Jin came in. She looked around, and her eyes fell on the wardrobe with only half a door left. She seemed to see something of interest, and took a few steps forward.
Gu Qingtong only felt that Bai Jin was separated from him by a wooden door, and he dared not breathe for fear of being discovered.
But at this moment, Yan Chi took a deep breath, opened his eyes contentedly, his eyes seemed to have darkened, raised his head slightly, and unintentionally put his lips on the tip of Gu Qingtong's ear, and opened his lips in the next second. Grinding her ears lightly, she said harshly in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Not allowed next time."
