Chapter 53: The Strange Case of the Murder House (3)
The timeline is pushed back to more than three years and five years ago.
Qiu Yuhe, the eldest lady of the Qiu family, was given by the current emperor to marry Ruihua, the son of the late Prince Heshuo Zheng.
But before she passed the door, her future husband Jun Ruihua was angry that he inherited the prince and was refuted, and took the initiative to transfer to Jinling.
γTrue Gold Platingγ
Mixed merits at the grassroots level, this kind of operation is not uncommon, it is not worth mentioning, but it is just bitter Qiu Yuhe.
Braids are in accordance with the rules of the royal family, and the marriage of the royal family must be reported to the Zongren Mansion for the record.
The date is set and it is not easy to change, so the pearl of Lord Shiqiu of Wenhua Pavilion University, in this way, the scenery and scenery carried the sedan chair into the prince's mansion, and the empty boudoir was guarded for three years.
Five months ago, Ruihua returned to Beijing.
There are rumors circulating in the streets and alleys that the eldest lady of the Qiu family is hard, and this county king must have a heart for his original partner who has never met.
Later, for some reason, the couple got along happily and loved each other.
After that, the two simply left the capital and went to live in Jinling together.
"If the story is really as simple as it sees, how can it be the mission to escort Qiu Yuhe to Jinling?"
Shen Shenying followed Ye Ming's pace, and Ye Ming continued: "The real story should be like this.
That prince is still the king of the county, and he didn't want to accept the marriage, but he didn't dare to disobey the holy order, so he just took advantage of the situation to transfer to Jinling.
In this way, he kills three birds with one stone, that is, he avoids the eldest lady of the Qiu family who does not want to marry but has to marry, and he can take the opportunity to be happy outside, and maybe he can also get some merit benefits.
Therefore, regardless of whether there is gossip about the original wife, he is not satisfied with his wife. β
Shen Shenying tilted his head slightly, slightly puzzled.
"Don't think it's strange, you received a hint from the main story quest of [Murder House]."
"yes, got it."
"The content is for us to find out the cause of the murder. So, now it's certain that this is a ghostly mission.
Combining what you've heard and what I've learned, I can basically come to a conclusion. This eldest lady of the Qiu family, the original wife of the county king, must have died.
The express indication [Red Ghost in Red] given in the lyrics should be Qiu Yuhe. β
The expression on Shen Shenying's face did not change, but a trace of uneasiness flashed in those light-colored eyes.
As a medical student, Shen Shenying's performance is very outstanding. In the private words of some tutors, it is the kind of child who can rely on his face but prefers to rely on professionalism.
In the face of broken corpses, rotten flesh or something, she has no fear at all. But when she thought of the cursed coconut, Miss Sadako, and the Rift Girl, she was a little frightened in her heart.
There are certain differences in the degree and type of acceptance of terror by each person.
Some people are not interested in demons and monsters, but they have no resistance to Miaojiang Gu worms at all; Some people are afraid of zombies, but some people have the confidence to catch one and use it as a dog; Some watched "The Night of the Soul" and laughed backwards, and some were scared to pee.
According to incomplete statistics, the braided stun is a local specialty - Mr. Zombie, especially the one who wears official uniforms, but it is the shadow of many people's childhood.
It's not a coincidence, Shen Shenying's most frightened thing is precisely the female ghost in the red wedding dress with the ** theme.
"According to your guess, if Qiu Yuhe is really a red-clothed ghost, then why does she need us to escort her to Jinling. Also, who is the lady who went to Jinling with Ruihua? β
Shen Shenying's question is not unreasonable.
Whether it's a demon or a ghost, it's just a thousand miles, and you can fly away.
Ye Ming said very confidently: "Good question." That's exactly what our first main story quest is all about, and if you find the mansion, you'll be able to solve the mystery. β
'Zizi'
The walkie-talkie in the sleeve pocket makes a call.
"Brother Ming, Brother Ming, please answer when you hear it, please answer when you hear it."
Yeming pulled out the walkie-talkie and pressed the speech button: "Password." β
"Yangtze River, Yangtze River, I am a peony."
"Hmm." Ye Ming nodded with satisfaction: "Report the direction." β
"There is a big teahouse on Xuanwumen West Street, called Songyin Xuan. I'm at the breakfast shop next to me, come and eat steamed buns. The taste is amazing! β
"Okay, Roger."
Watching Ye Ming happily turn off the walkie-talkie, Shen Shenying couldn't help but be a little surprised.
She wasn't ignorant of the weirdness of this classmate.
Almost everyone in the pharmacy school knows the name of this strange guy, although most of the students only know his name but not his person, but Shen Shenying has carefully observed.
Yeming's personality is indeed a little strange, and his way of thinking is also very unique, coupled with his incomparably excellent expression ability, it often gives people a particularly unreliable perception.
However, Shen Shenying trusted his instincts.
This male classmate who said in a word through a few photos and fragmentary information that the real murderer of Zheng Hong was located must have something special about him.
However, at this moment, Shen Shenying was still defeated by Ye Ming's relaxed state.
She really wanted to say: classmate, we are here to do the task, and then we will have to fight with the ghosts. Buns or something, wait for the task to end, go back and give you a Zhang Ding Tai Fung lifetime free bun card?
Just when Shen Shenying was stunned, Yeming had successfully blended into the crowd of people entering the city.
β¦β¦β¦
A quarter of an hour later, Xuanwumen Songyin Xuan Grand Teahouse, next to the breakfast shop.
Two large drawers of steaming buns are placed on the table, and three bowls of bean curd are poured with bean paste, which is fragrant.
After nibbling on the three steamed buns with chili vinegar, Shen Shenying let out a long sigh.
"Ahh It smells so good! β
Huang Yifeng is also looking at Yile, the school flower has a very bold personality, and the cold style in the school is like two people.
At the next table on the front and back, all the passers-by who were eating breakfast looked at the strange guests at this table.
A young man dressed as a son, with clear eyebrows and a long figure, looks extraordinary, and is quite chic in his gestures, like a child of the Eight Banners who has martial arts in the north and south;
Another young man with a very strong figure should be a member of this family.
Of course, most of these people's eyes stayed on Shen Shenying.
If you want to be pretty, you must be filial.
This beautiful woman with beautiful eyebrows and eyes and a face like a frosty pink peach is lined with a plain white filial piety dress and becomes more and more cold and elegant.
It's just that this big beauty eats steamed buns and looks too heroic, not like ordinary women.
After walking for nearly two hours, Yeming was hungry. After drinking the bean curd, he grabbed the remaining two buns and gestured to Huang Yifeng and Shen Shenying, and the three of them left the breakfast shop.
"Where's the money?"
Huang Yifeng smiled proudly, took out a money bag from his chest and showed it to the two: "Song Yin Xuan picked it up." β
Yeming was teleported to the coffin shop, a desolate batch, and he was tired enough to choke on the journey;
The starting point of Shen Shenying is the Yi Pavilion, which is almost 5 kilometers away from the city.
Huang Yifeng is different, the beginning is the teahouse closest to the mission destination, and he also picked up a money bag containing several ingots of silver.
The comfortable environment is not scary and eerie at all, it is directly and closely related to the mission, and I also received a gift package.
"It seems that you are really the favorite cub of the system."
Ye Ming said this without any emotion, purely to express his opinion.
Huang Yifeng smiled proudly, pointed to the clothes on Shen Shenying's body and said, "Classmate Shen, your initial dress is too conspicuous, there is a cloth village in front of you, go see if there are any ready-made clothes for sale." β
"Okay, thank you." Shen Shenying nodded at Huang Yifeng and smiled: "Everyone is a teammate, you can call me Shenying in the future, or a nickname." β
"Okay." Huang Yifeng replied briskly, opened [Only visible to teammates] and showed his nickname, title, and rank: "Call me by name, nickname, or call me fat with Brother Ming." β
When Shen Shenying saw Huang Yifeng's LV3 level, his heart sighed slightly.
Negligence!
The system protects the player's privacy very well, even if they are friends with each other, they can only see each other's nicknames. Levels, titles, and equipment will only be displayed if the player actively turns on the 'visible' function.
The teammates matched by the system are non-public information, even their nicknames.
If everyone's mission starting point is not together, then you can only check how many teammates there are in total, whether they are dead or alive, through the temporary section of [In Mission].
The teammates are all together, and the survival status is clear at a glance. If it's like this mission, the start point is different. Once a player is killed, the system will give you a prompt notification.
Shen Shenying's last task was to receive a reminder that two teammates had died without even seeing each other.
In addition, she herself suffered a lot of injuries. Luckily, the rewards were handsome.
In addition to XP and in-game currency, a bottle of [Primary Healing Potion], a high-quality equipment [Windtalker's Light Boots], and a [Special Mission Opening Scroll] were also opened.
That's right, this special quest isn't strictly distributed directly by the system, but comes from this scroll.
"Yeming, can I see your level?"
Ye Ming had just finished eating two steamed buns, clapped his hands and said vaguely, "It's okay." β
[Non-player characters, LV5, title arsonist]
Shen Shenying sighed in his heart, feeling that he was too inconsiderate and preconceived this time.
First, she subjectively thinks that the level of Yeming is the same as herself, no matter how low it is, it will not be lower than LV6;
Second, the upper limit of the task level is LV7;
In other words, it's a level 7 dungeon.
Luminous didn't show any stress or difficulty in reacting to this information.
LV5 is two levels lower than her, which is not too outrageous, and it is barely enough to perform this task, but LV3 is really excessive!
Shen Shenying completed three script space team tasks, and knew very well that the lowest-level player in the team had a survival rate of less than seventy percent.
Moreover, if there is a critical situation, new players who don't know anything are often abandoned by the team, or even thrown out as cannon fodder.
The survival of the fittest, the weak fill the pit, she understands the truth. It's just that she has never and is unwilling to make that kind of choice that is too cruel and real.
Therefore, she wanted to find Yeming to form a team, instead of recruiting teammates who 'don't know each other anyway and sell each other at critical moments' through chat rooms.
As a result, Yeming gave her such a big surprise.
If the mission was really based on spirits and ghosts, as he judged, wouldn't their team be a headshot?
"Don't worry."
Seeing Yeming's calm and calm appearance, Shen Shenying's heart was a little more relieved.
But, immediately afterward, she heard the next sentence.
"What is there to be afraid of ghosts and evil spirits, if you are killed, you will become a ghost. Therefore, it is the ghosts that should be feared, not us who have not yet become ghosts. β
Shen Shenying: .........
Huang Yifeng: What a familiar logic!
