The sky was faintly bright.

At the end of Xiying Street in Beijing, go out two miles, Yiting.

This is an ancient nickname, which translates into modern language, the morgue.

Shen Shenying quickly judged what kind of place he was teleported to be the starting point of the mission.

She didn't have a trace of panic, and after figuring out the situation inside and outside the Yiting in the shortest possible time, she made the same decision as Huang Yifeng.

Wait.

It's just that she didn't wait for her teammates to come to her, nor did she wait for the light of day to walk.

Instead, after receiving the prompt of [Open the Main Story Quest: The Strange Case of the Murder House], he waited for the clues related to the mission to appear.

After three scenario-based space missions, experience taught her that the system would not teleport the player to a location that had nothing to do with the mission.

In addition, unlike in the TV series, there is not a single corpse in the pavilion. A few tattered coffins, a few bed-like pestles as a coroner's table, that's all.

If you want to say that it is more uncomfortable, it is the strange smell of sulfur and lime mixed with ginger and white medicine in the air.

I don't know how long it took, the wooden door outside creaked open, and the sound of messy footsteps entered the pavilion.

Shen Shenying hid in a cubicle.

Three figures hurried into the morgue, led by a middle-aged man, followed by two officials wearing 'Zhuang' uniforms.

The two servants carried a stretcher, and a thick linen cloth was placed on it.

The younger officer asked, "Where are you staying?" ”

The middle-aged man in the lead casually pointed to a few wooden tables in the room: "Hey, just put it aside, anyway, the coffin shop will come and take it away later." ”

"Huh."

In response, the two officials placed the stretcher on a certain wooden platform.

"Get the bounty money."

The middle-aged man beckoned, and the two officials each took two large strings of copper coins and counted them.

"Sensei, yours are indispensable." The middle-aged man wrinkled his nose and walked to the side of the morgue.

After counting the copper plates, the two officials hurriedly put them into the waist seal, and the official in his early thirties thanked: "Thank you for your reward." ”

The middle-aged man said: "Remember, don't worry about this." ”

"Don't say it, don't say it, hehe." The young servant nodded hurriedly, stepped forward and said, "You say, what's going on in that house?" In the past five months, nine have died. ”

"It's evil." The middle-aged man took out a cigarette stick from his waist, walked outside the door and knocked on the stone slab, and said while loading the tobacco: "That house is a top nobleman, Prince Heshuo Zheng, you know no." ”

The two servants shook their heads, leaned over and looked at the middle-aged man on the left and right.

"This Prince Heshuo Zheng is the prince and grandson of the eight ****." After taking two puffs of cigarette, the middle-aged man continued:

"The prince died a few years ago, and the long live lord couldn't bear it, and he was cruel to the prince's son Ruihua, and he also gave him a marriage.

The marriage is the pearl of the palm of the scholar of the Wenhua Palace. ”

The young servant asked urgently, "Why is the house like this?" ”

"Hmph." The middle-aged man sneered and said, "This person, the position is low and the step is too fast, it is not a good thing."

Long Live Lord promoted Ruihua, promoted from a third-grade guard to a second-grade guard, and walked in Qianqingmen, but he was promoted to a first-class guard in two months. After two years of hard work, he was added to the general of Zhenguo and attacked the prince.

As soon as the filial piety period expires, the two families who give marriage will be handled.

At this moment, there was an adult in the court, saying that this Ruihuade was not worthy. If you are too young, you will have no ability, and you will have no military merits.

Long live the lord had no choice, so he had to refute the prince and change the title of county king.

Ruihua was not convinced, he wanted to be strong, so he invited himself to Jinling to assist in the ground.

But at this time, the two old men had chosen the auspicious day of the good day, and reported it to the Zongren Mansion, which was not easy to change.

So, Ruihua Zhao went to Jinling to take office, and the eldest lady of the Qiu family still married into the prince's mansion in a beautiful manner.

Strange to say!

Since Miss Qiu entered the door, the old lady in the house has been ill and died within a year. The two old scholars of Qiu University are also gone next to each other.

Half a year ago, Ruihua, the prince of the county, finally returned to Beijing.

At first, I probably heard that Miss Qiu was evil, and the prince of the county was very dissatisfied with his own lady. Later, I don't know how, the little couple got better.

It didn't take long for the prince of the county to take his wife and move his family to Jinling City. The big mansion with thirteen entrances was idle. ”

The two servants pondered for a while, and the younger one asked again, "Then why did so many people die?" ”

"Hey, it's not good to talk about your nobles." The middle-aged man took two more puffs of cigarette and said, "Some say that it was a maid and concubine who died unjustly earlier, and some say that it is the grandmother who married the Qiu family, and the eight characters rushed to the house god." ”

"So many people have died, why does the old steward have to find someone to see the night, doesn't this send people to death." Another official said.

The middle-aged man turned his head and glared, and said, "Snort, no one is going to die, there is an errand for you two to earn this money?" ”

"Yes, yes, hehe." The young servant smiled flatteringly, and suddenly asked, "Do you think the old steward will be... Raise, ghosts! ”

As soon as the young servant finished speaking, his head hit the middle-aged man's cigarette stick.

"Phew, talk nonsense again, feed your kid to the ghosts."

"Don't dare, don't dare." The young official hurriedly waved his hand and said, "However, there are really a lot of dead people. Although they are all idlers, it is not good to really check it. ”

"You know." The middle-aged man poured out the ashes of the cigarette he had smoked, smacked his lips and said, "The affairs of the palace, which adult can take care of it."

Besides, the old steward drew a charge for those dead ghosts in black and white, and he couldn't complain about anyone.

They are all poor and crazy lords, so that they can eat a full meal before they die, alas..."

The three of them were chatting happily outside the door of the morgue, and they didn't even notice that a person was quietly walking out of the compartment inside the room.

Shen Shenying walked to the stretcher, picked up the coarse cloth covering it with a stick, and saw that the bottom was bloody and mushy, as if the broken corpse had been torn apart by a wild beast.

At this moment, I heard the middle-aged man outside greet him.

"It's finally here, hurry."

Shen Shenying turned around and trotted over to the cubicle, and she didn't see her deliberately tiptoeing, but she didn't make a single footstep.

Boom, click, click.

After a while, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps quickly disappearing.

Just as Shen Shenying was about to leave the cubicle and follow the group of people, he suddenly heard a lone footstep entering the morgue.

"Fatty, Mr. Shen."

Shen Shenying immediately walked out of the cubicle, and saw a long figure dragging a long braid on the back of his head.

Although he didn't hear any sound, Yeming sensed someone behind him.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Shen Shenying, who was wearing a plain white filial piety suit and long hair with high bundles.

This is Shen Shenying tearing a strip of cloth from his clothes, and the player's adaptive mode is not so thoughtful.

"How do you know..."

Without waiting for Shen Shenying to finish asking, Ye Ming hurriedly replied: "The starting point of my mission is the coffin shop, and all the way over, the professional coffin carrying duo did not stop elsewhere.

When they arrived at this pavilion, when they came in and went out, the coffin was obviously a lot heavier. So, they must have buried the bodies of the victims here.

This is bound to be another starting point.

Have more questions? If not, let's go, talk as you walk along the road. ”

"Okay."

Shen Shenying resolutely followed, and the two of them went out of the Yi Pavilion.

The sky has turned half-bright, the east is white, the morning breeze is blowing, and the cold is slightly heavier.

Yeming was not in a hurry to chase the group, but to the city.

The time limit of the mission is 12 hours, and it is almost an hour to walk from the coffin shop all the way to the Yi Pavilion.

A rough estimate of the footsteps was about 9 kilometers. It's no wonder that the fat man can't be contacted, although it is a professional walkie-talkie, the power is not so great.

After confirming that Shen Shenying was in the Yi Pavilion, it was really possible that the fat man was teleported to his destination, the murderous mansion.

Based on the three keywords that have no direction, such as the old steward, the mansion, and the western suburbs, Yeming can only conclude that the murderous mansion is in the west of the city.

So, get close to the city as soon as possible, and find the fat man, and you'll almost find the goal of the mission.

Along the way, Shen Shenying told Yeming in detail what he saw and heard in the Yi Pavilion.

Yeming also sang the song he heard word for word.

Although the singing was similar to killing chickens, Shen Shenying still listened very carefully.

The lyrics of the tune that Yeming heard, and the conversation between the three of them she had just heard, seemed to point to the same story, but not exactly.

"The main quest escorts Qiu Yuhe to Jinling City. But what the three of them meant in their words was that the eldest lady of the Qiu family married into Prince Zheng's mansion in Heshuo. Five months ago, she had already left the capital with her husband Jun Ruihua and went to Jinling. ”

Shen Shenying wondered as he walked: "I always feel that something is weird..."

"Is it weird?" After Yeming tested the walkie-talkie for the Nth time and tried to call the fat man unsuccessfully, he said disapprenomerly: "The situation is already very clear." ”

Shen Shenying looked sideways at Yeming, who was dressed as a young brother in a long shirt and gown, and a pair of heroic wild eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Yeming looked up at the city wall in front of him, which was already close to his line of sight, and squinted: "Obviously, the mission target that the system wants us to escort is not a human ......."
