Chapter 167: The Murder at Earl's Castle (1)
"Uh-huh~" Wen Er covered his head in pain and snorted softly, Tang Xin's kick was really amazing, kicking him to the bedpost all at once.
"Hey, that...... Sorry ha! Are you okay? Tang Xin smirked as he squatted down and helped Wen Er up.
Wen Er shook his head, leaned on the side of the bed and sighed, "It's okay...... It seems that it is not easy to do something bad. ”
"Humph! Who made you so sudden, and said so ...... Deserves it, and this is called self-inflicted. Tang Xin rolled his eyes angrily, but still sat down next to Wen Er and helped him rub his head.
"Suddenly...... Does that mean it's okay if it's not sudden? ”
"Huh? What the...... Hmm......" Tang Xin opened his mouth suspiciously, but the next words were sealed inside, but this time Wen Er just touched it like a dragonfly, and then chuckled and retreated, but Tang Xin was still stupidly frozen in place, and he didn't react for a long time.
Wen Er looked at Tang Xin covering his mouth with amusement, looking like he wanted to be angry but couldn't get angry, it was really cute.
"Damn, don't laugh!" Tang Xin turned her head with an awkward expression, she really didn't expect anything......
Wen Er, this bastard, how can she feel like she has been tricked again?
"Okay, I'm going to be busy, your game seems to be about to start, aren't you going to prepare?" Wen Er raised his hands in surrender under Tang Xin's angry gaze, and waved the information in his hand to her, which was related to the confidential information provided by the Dapeng couple before, and Wen Er was passing through the various information from below, gradually narrowing the scope of the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Ah, it's been this time. Sister Liuying must be angry, she asked me to start a video conference on time. Tang Xin was also shocked when he looked at his watch. Hurriedly connected to the video, and sure enough, he was counted by the silver fan of the iceberg queen, and Tang Xin had to obediently lower his head and did not dare to resist.
On the other side, Wen Er sorted out the information he had collected now.
One of the materials is the information of the players guild in the summer region of the simulated world, including the old guilds that have been in operation for many years, as well as the newly established guilds. The number of these guilds adds up to more than tens of thousands, and it's really hard for Momozi to still provide these materials, and Drunken Joy really deserves its reputation. It's not easy to buy and sell information in online games.
If this real-life group wants to enter the game, then the first step must be to acquire an existing guild or form a new guild, in which the guild is the most basic link in the chain of interests, and all the expansion in the game. All need to be guild-based.
Wen Er now looks like he is looking for a needle in a haystack. But in fact, he only needs to delineate a general scope first, and the guild within this range should have a certain amount of influence, act in a low-key manner, have a strict system for accepting people, have a realistic background and no shortage of funds, and have frequent personnel changes and strict management...... Then in guilds that meet these conditions, make further observations.
In the end, Wen Er locked up three guilds, the Shadow Guild, the Proud Righteousness Guild, and the Nine Heavens Guild.
Of the three guilds, the Shadow Guild is the most mysterious. This is a newly established guild, and according to the intelligence, this guild has invested a lot in different properties such as land and the game industry. In the four continents of the southeast, northwest, and northwest, they all have their industries, and this huge investment is almost comparable to that of a large guild, you know, this guild is only a junior guild with a maximum of 200 people, and this guild does not plan to upgrade in the near future.
There are many masters of the top guilds who have been poached to the Shadow Guild with a lot of money, but this news is only circulating in a small area, and it seems that it just turned up the waves and disappeared silently, or it may be that the masters he poached are not first-line masters, most of them are not very famous, but so many than the transfer news, none of them have been exposed, which also proves that the energy of this guild is not small from another angle.
Proud of the world and Jiutian are the old guilds that were acquired by the new owner, and they also meet these conditions, but compared to the Shadow Guild, it is not so obvious in terms of the recruitment of masters, and what is more suspicious is that after the acquisition of the Nine Heavens Guild, the new guild dispersed all the players at the bottom, and the original guild of more than 1,000 people now has less than 100 people left in management.
But now a lot of information is not clear, although Wen Er has a rough guess, but he can't draw conclusions so quickly.
In addition to the information of the guild, there are other very fragmentary information on Wen Jun, most of which are conflicts between some relatively large players in the game.
These things are more trivial, Wen Er focuses on gossip related to the management of the guild, both the president's **mistress in the game was discovered by the big wife in reality and made a dog, and there are also two men and a woman in the high-level or a triangle and a five-cornered love or something, and a certain president angrily disbanded the union, or another guild was stolen by someone Li Daitaozhuang......
These big and small things that happened in the game may not necessarily have anything to do with what Wen Er is investigating now, but maybe the clues are hidden in these messy love-hate hatreds...... So Wen Er still patiently flipped through all of this.
But in the end, no definite clues were obtained, and it seems that it is not so easy to investigate the mastermind behind this matter.
Maybe there should be another way to go guò...... I don't know if it will work if it will work if it is checked by a real company?
Wen Er tapped his fingers on the back of the chair as he thought.
While Wen Er was busy with his mental work, Tang Xin, Liuying, and Su Su, the three women's soldiers, also teleported to the map of the 3v3 game.
-- There was a serial murder in the castle, the maid found the Countess dead in the bed covered with roses while cleaning the room in the morning, and then the Count's nephew died in the garden of the castle, the third body was the Count's daughter, the poor girl was hanged in the castle tower, and the last body was a cook of the castle, she died in the dark and cold cellar.
-- The Count sent a notice outside the castle that whoever was able to solve the murder would be rewarded with his heartfelt gratitude and presented with a family heirloom.
The 3v3 qualifiers begin with a murder, which also indicates that the competitive tournament will not only test the player's PK skills. It also tests intelligence and teamwork ability, but the system prompt does not explain the conditions for qualifying, which can't help but confuse. Will the group that solved the murder make it out, or is it some other rule?
Tang Xin and the three of them are now standing at the door of the Earl's Castle, and there are two other groups of 3v3 teams standing at the door with them, and after hearing the rules of the map, they are also talking about it.
"Come in, ladies and gentlemen, the Earl has arranged a welcome dinner for you, and a comfortable room. Please be sure to find the murderer. "The gates of the castle opened, and the well-dressed butler ushered three groups of players into the castle.
"All we had planned was to ambush, beat, bait...... How could it be a murder? Silver Fan Liuying said expressionlessly, but she could see that she was a little lost.
"Then aren't we heroes useless this time? There is no way to use force. We're on the same starting line as other players, wow, if we can't get out of the line, Gou Xiaoyun's guy is going to laugh at me. Yun Susu's expression was also a little depressed.
"I don't like solving murders either...... Why don't we kill the other groups of players? Wouldn't that be a victory without a fight? How's that idea? Tang Xin said with a snicker.
As soon as Tang Xin's words fell, he was unanimously approved by Silver Fan Liuying and Master, and the three god-level players with explosive combat power fought and were absolutely invincible, so they didn't want to solve any murder cases.
"Okay, but don't worry, I suspect that there may be any restrictions in this castle, let's test it first, in case I kill someone, I will be eliminated for violating the rules." Then we will be disgraced and embarrassed, and we will definitely be included in the stupid and stupid things column. It's best to have a way to try it......" Tang Xin raised his eyebrows and winked at the two.
"Hehe...... hey" Yun Susu immediately understood, and the signature debauched laughter sounded, attracting frequent sideways glances from the two groups of players beside him, Yun Susu glared at the two groups of players indifferently, forcing them to turn around, in the style of the best villain, and then she typed in the squad channel and continued, "Why don't we let those two groups fight, and see if we can get people out like this, if we can...... Hey. ”
"That's a bad move...... I like it though. Tang Xinle replied.
"That's good...... We now assign the task, one person pretends to investigate the case and see what the NPC can use, and the other two people follow the two groups separately to see what opportunities there are, and go back to the room at night to gather information before making the next plan. Silver Fan Liu Hotaru clearly assigned the tasks and determined the next plan for the tomato scrambled egg girl group this time.
"I'm going to smash with those two little and a rich second generation combination, I'm the best at this, don't believe my name." The master took over the task first.
"Then I'll go with the combination of those two sullen men and a little fresh meat." Silver Fan said expressionlessly.
"I'll just go and talk to NPCs." Tang Xin nodded.
The nine outsiders were led by the castle steward to a long dining table, covered with white tablecloths, bone china cutlery and silver candles, which looked very tall, and on either side of the table stood a servant every two meters, dedicated to serving the guests.
After all the players were seated, the Count walked down the stairs, the Earl's image is very similar to the film and television works, elegant and straight dress, arrogant gentleman's attitude, but you can see a trace of tiredness and decadence in his eyes, and he does look like a man with a dead wife.
"Thank you very much for coming to your aid, and if you have any need, the servants of the castle will assist you, and if you can find the demon who killed my wife, it is the great benefactor of the Bradley family, and I will take one of the treasures that have been passed down from generation to generation as a reward for those who solve the case......" The Count announced, and did not stay to dine with the guests, and went up the spiral staircase again.
After the Count is gone, the players are free.
Xiao Xianrou in the three-man group was obviously very interested in the three-woman combination of tomato scrambled eggs, he leaned next to Yun Susu, who looked the best to speak, smiled and showed his little tiger teeth, and accosted: "Hello, my name is Luye Buhuang, I really didn't expect this out-of-line task to be the way to solve the mystery and solve the case, and the moves I prepared are not used for the time being." ”
"yes, we didn't expect it, what moves did you prepare? Isn't it amazing? Yun Susu hugged the lobster, nibbling happily, and didn't want to pay attention to him, but under the gesture of Liuying's eyes, he still opened his mouth to set up the information.
"It's a secret, my brother asked me not to sue others, but I can reveal it a little, I have a skill that is at the level of instant kill." The green leaves are not yellow, but they look honest, but they are actually very smart, and they don't answer positively with a smile.
"Oh, that's right." Yun Susu couldn't ask anything, so she ended the topic, and continued to bow her head to nibble on the lobster, thinking that she had done her best, this nasty sister firefly would not be dissatisfied, Su Su secretly glanced at the silver fan while gnawing, scared! How can Sister Liuying's expressionless face be cold as frost, and the skill seems to have advanced, and the distance is two meters, and Su Su feels a little frozen.
The silver fan Liuying's face was indeed frosty, but the object was not Yun Susu, and when she looked into her eyes, she saw the rich second generation in the other group, who was wearing a top-level magic robe and holding an epic staff, but was only level 25, hugging left and right, letting the two coolly dressed beauties sit on his two laps respectively, enjoying the delicate service of the two beauties.
"The ice beauty over there, don't you want to join in when you see the excitement, brother hasn't tasted your style of little beauty yet, come over and ......" The rich second generation looked at Liuying's eyes narrowed, and his mouth was vulgar and obscene teasing.
It's just that before he finished speaking, he couldn't speak, only to see a huge water element appear beside him, and the huge palm grabbed his foot, turning him upside down at once.
"it, what the hell is this TMD, let my brother down! What are you two looking at? Don't hurry up and save my brother! The rich second generation struggled to thrash back and forth, but the water elemental grabbed close, and he scolded and beckoned the two beauties to come and rescue him.
These two beauties are also not of high level, how can they fight the rare ultimate move of the ice mage to summon the water elemental.
One of them, dressed in red and looking very beautiful, was more clever, and turned his head and said to Liu Ying, "This sister, our young master doesn't have any bad intentions, he just likes to talk about flowers, our sisters have enough, I really have no intention of offending you, can you please put our young master down?" ”
"I don't care about your business, don't mess with me." The silver fan said lightly, with a wave of his hand, the water element let go, and the rich second generation fell to the stone brick floor, and the two beauties hurriedly surrounded him and asked for warmth.
"Sister Liuying, you should throw this sand pig man downstairs and let him go so lightly?" Yun Susu pointed out the window of the castle and said, they are now on the second floor of the castle, there is a rose garden and sharp stones downstairs, and the fall is definitely enough for the pig brother.
"Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, people are voluntary, what does it have to do with me, just don't get in the way of my eyes." Liuying was only paralyzed, but not angry, although her facial expression was as cold as ice, but in fact, she was very clear and indifferent inside, she explained softly, and then lowered her head and enjoyed her dinner elegantly, not affected by the episode just now.
"It turns out that I was a thief just now, ......" Yun Susu muttered quietly, she was too weak-hearted, only to feel that the silver fan Liuying's expression was suddenly very cold and angry, Liuying's facial paralysis face had this effect, and she could exude the cold temperament of an iceberg without doing anything. (To be continued......)
