Chapter 003: Poor Ghost

As soon as Zhou Changhong's words fell, the scene around Qing Ziming gradually changed again, and at this time he was in front of an ancient house, and he couldn't help but admire this powerful system in his heart.

[On a tall mountain sits a dense forest, in the middle of which is an ancient castle, and at this moment the wind is howling, roaring, wailing...... It's as if predicting a tragedy tonight. The system voice broadcast sounds.

"Is it predicted that something will happen today...... Hahaha, interesting, let me see how miserable it is! Qing Ziming licked his lips and looked up at the sky, sure enough, there were already dark clouds, but it was not raining, "Could it be that after the tragedy, it will rain heavily?" ”

He found that his outfit had also changed, and at this time he looked like a real detective, wearing a white shirt and black tie in a brown trench suit, a pair of brown trousers that matched the suit trench coat, a pair of black shiny leather shoes, and a brown deer hunting hat, the only thing missing was a pipe.

He noticed that there was also a conspicuous blood-red brooch on the brown trench coat, and a few large letters were written on itβ€”the name of the Secretary of the Detective Guild.

Qing Ziming suddenly secretly rejoiced, he himself was actually relatively secondary...... The scene that he had imagined countless times in his mind finally came true at this moment, although it was only a virtual game world, but he still couldn't stop the excitement, and when he was about to scream, the system prompt sounded again.

[Side Quest: Solve the Case.] (And tell the ins and outs of the case, as well as the details, modus operandi, etc., and the reward at the time of settlement depends on the completeness of solving the case.) Temporary borrowing of the Detective Guild credentials. )】

Qing Ziming deliberately glanced at the main quest, but he still hasn't completed it, and it is estimated that he will not complete it until he completes the side quest.

So I walked directly to the castle, which is still a European design. He stood in front of the door and hesitated for a moment, because he didn't know whether the case had happened or hadn't happened yet, and if it hadn't happened, what reason should he use to get in?

So he decided to come up with a suitable reason to survey the surroundings of the castle.

At this time, in another space, two men stood side by side, and one of them asked respectfully, "Boss, are you sure you want to give this guy such a difficult task?" And that's just his beginner's tutorial. If you look closely, you can see clearly that this man is Zhou Changhong.

The other man didn't look at Zhou Changhong, but kept staring at Qing Ziming, who was inspecting the house on the screen, his eyes showed a taste of nostalgia, and he smiled faintly and said, "For him, there is no difficulty at all." As for why, it's because it's him...... Let's wait and see, I really can't give him some settlement rewards. By the way, there's one more thing I want you to ask for......" After saying that, he disappeared directly out of thin air.

As soon as the camera turned, Qing Ziming surveyed around this side against the strong wind, and finally got a useful information, there were seven cars parked behind this ancient castle, which were estimated to be the cars of the guests who came to the house today, one of which should be the owner of the house.

Then after thinking of a suitable reason, he knocked on the door in a straight dress.

As the door slowly opened, a deep and vigilant look stared at Qing Ziming's pupils, "Hey, dude! Hell, I bet you're not here for a tourist. The man seemed to be asking what Qing Ziming was doing here.

Although this man speaks French, Qing Ziming can easily understand it, and it is estimated that it is also the reason for this system, he can translate well, and most of his own words can be understood by the other party.

When the man saw the blood-colored brooch on Qing Ziming's chest, his pupils shrank, and his face showed surprise that caught people off guard.

This action made Qing Ziming's mouth close when he was about to open, and he also looked at the man quietly.

This scene surprised Qing Ziming, it seems that everyone in this world seems to have heard of the Detective Association, and looking at the man's expression, it seems that he still has a little respect?

The man suddenly spoke with a hint of excitement: "Oh, my God! You're Mr. Detective from the Detective Guild...... I am the steward of this castle, you can call me Davy steward, please come with me, it is windy outside, and the master has been waiting for a long time. ”

Qing Ziming's heart moved: It turns out that the brooch of this detective association's certificate is quite effective, and the social status of this association seems to be quite high, and it seems that the owner of this ancient castle personally invited it...... But is he inviting the Detectives Guild or me...... Anyway, this strange translation is really uncomfortable...... Anyway, let's talk about it first.

Walking into this castle, you will see the most luxurious hall, the intricate lighting glows coldly, and the high walls cast dark shadows on the soft carpets, although the house is very luxurious, but there is always a sense of oppression.

Following the lead of Steward Wang, Qing Ziming came to the dining place, pushed open the heavy door of the restaurant, and opened a large space with a luxurious style, with gorgeous crystal chandeliers on the ceiling, and every angle reflected a dreamlike colorful light. The gorgeous European-style tables and chairs, painted pure white, exude an aristocratic atmosphere everywhere. On a long table is a white porcelain vase with pink roses in full bloom, in harmony with the surrounding environment.

There were seven people in this restaurant, one sat at the other end of the long table, and the other six sat on both sides, chatting with each other until Qing Ziming came to the restaurant, and everyone looked at Qing Ziming and didn't speak.

The man sitting at the top looked at Qing Ziming, full of enthusiasm, and pointed to the seat opposite him: "Oh, God! You're Mr. Detective from the Detective Guild, please take a seat, damn it, I didn't entertain well, how about I punish myself? With that, he picked up the goblet on the table and drank the half of the red wine that was left.

Qing Ziming raised his eyebrows and sat directly across from the man.

"Let me introduce you to you, I am the owner of this castle, my name is Paul Temasi, if you don't mind, you can just call me Paul. Oh, let's take a look at the elegant lady over there, she's our Hil Folrois! I swear to the Virgin Mary that Ciel must be the prettiest lady in the room, but it's a pity that there is only one lady present, hahaha, guys, you know, I like to joke. ”

Xi'er sat on Qingziming's left hand side, her face instantly red, and she was looking at Paul with a resentful look at her at the moment.

"I'll take a look at ...... This gentleman here, if I'm not mistaken, your name is John Huntston, what a nice name, are you right, Mr. Detective? ”

Qing Ziming looked at John and nodded. This is a bald middle-aged man, a little obese. He sat first on Paul's right.

"Well, John, it seems that our Mr. Detective likes your name."

"No, to be honest, I don't like it."

......

Next, Paul introduced all the people present one by one, from the perspective of Qing Ziming, the opposite sat Paul, the first on the left was the bald John just now, and the first on the right was Jay Leno, Jay is a strong man, burly, belongs to the kind of muscles that can pile up mountains, although it looks very fierce but the personality is still relatively kind, it is worth mentioning that this Jay seems to be a professional bodyguard invited by Paul, so he sits next to Paul. I don't think anyone here will be able to beat this man.

To the left of Qing Ziming is the only woman I just introduced, Xi'er. In fact, Xi'er is quite beautiful, slim and graceful, but she can't stand Paul's ridicule just now.

On the right-hand side is a man named Tom Bradley, Tom is a more gentlemanly man, gentle and polite, and can be seen to be amiable. Qing Ziming still has a good impression of him.

Sitting between Ciel and John on the left is a guy named Luca Marik, Luca doesn't seem to be willing to deal with Qing Ziming, and has always looked like he has nothing to do, so Qing Ziming has a deeper impression of him.

Sitting between Luca and Tom is Bob Gadfrey, Bob, like Luca, doesn't seem to like Qingziming very much, and Qingziming doesn't take it to heart, after all, the detective industry is not liked by many people.

Qing Ziming also heard something from this speech, Paul himself is a collector, and has collected many valuable treasures, and I heard that tomorrow Mr. Paul will display one of his most shocking collections, which is said to be a priceless treasure in the market. These were the people who had come to visit the night before hearing about it, and Paul had no choice but to hold the party, but in case anyone was trying to do wrong, in order to ensure his own safety, Paul hired Jay to protect himself.

Qing Ziming also began his speech, "Dear gentlemen...... And, of course, ladies and gentlemen, hello! I am very honored to be invited to Mr. Paul's party, you should know that I am a detective of the Detective Guild, you can call me by my name, well, although the name actually sounds strange, but it does not affect my identity, I hope for my sake, you don't mess around tonight, or the consequences...... Hehe, you know. After speaking, he showed a piercing smile.

Of course, Qing Ziming knew that saying this would not persuade the murderer, but from a psychological point of view, it could effectively cause a trace of panic in the murderer's heart, and he might leave a little more clues after the murder.

He sat down and glanced at the poor Paul for he was going to die tonight anyway.
