“…… If I ask them again now, can I repeat the plot again? Thinking of this, Lu Pingchuan looked up helplessly and asked Henry for advice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yes, you can, but I don't recommend that you do it, because the consequence is just that you will have to pay another clean-up fee." Henry put down the bottle in his hand, glanced at Lu Pingchuan with an embarrassed face, and said with a smile, "In this mission, there are two key elements to lock the prisoner: one is the correct correction of the task player, and the other is direct evidence, otherwise even if the player guesses the real murderer, the follow-up plot will not be lit up...... Obviously, you don't have that key piece of evidence on you right now. ”

Lu Pingchuan took out the key that he had been holding in his hand in a panic, sighed in annoyance, and was about to throw the key away, when Henry said as if talking to himself: "However, I'm not saying that props that are not evidence are useless." ”

Lu Pingchuan listened, quickly tightened the key that was about to be sold, turned his head and asked, "What's the use?" ”

The white beard at the corner of Henry's mouth curled: "In this game, there is no such thing as being given a name but useless...... Why don't you try to treat Mr. Simon to a drink again? ”

With that, Henry turned and walked to the other end of the bar, answering no more questions. Although Lu Pingchuan was still confused, he still obediently walked out of the bar, sat down in front of the baker Simon, and lit up the option with the system dial: "Invite him to have a drink." ”

"Goo." The baker once again made a gesture with his right hand without a cup, and the system dial once again prompted: "Congratulations, your friendship with Simon the Baker has increased by 10 points, please pay Miss Rebecca 2 gold for the drink." "Ask Lu Pingchuan to pay for the cup just now. Lu Pingchuan looked back at the indifferent Henry, obediently took out his identity card and paid the money.

Friendship with Simon has increased by another 10 points, but other than that, nothing happens. Lu Pingchuan walked around the wine table a few times at a loss, and saw that Henry still didn't want to remind himself, so he had no choice but to turn on the option again: "Invite him to have a drink." ”

"Goo." "Congratulations, your friendship with Simon the Baker has increased by 10 points......"

"Goo." "Congratulations ......"

"Goo." ……

It wasn't until Lu Pingchuan invited Simon four glasses of wine in a row that an additional prompt suddenly popped up on the system dial: "Congratulations on your friendship with Baker Simon on reaching 50 points, and now you have become someone he can trust." ”

Lu Pingchuan seemed to have an understanding, and swept the badge on the baker's chest again with the system dial, and sure enough, this time there was an extra option: "Option 3: Trusted people - help deliver the goods." ”

"I'll pick three and help with the delivery!" As soon as the order came out, the baker immediately turned around, took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, and said to Lu Pingchuan: "Young man, you seem to be an honest and reliable person, can you send this flour to Madame Pierre, the miller, for me?" She's a generous lady and won't let you go home empty-handed. ”

Lu Pingchuan opened his task bar, and there was indeed an extra task in it, "help with delivery". He turned his head to look at Henry, who made a "please" gesture towards the door with a smirk: "After you brush a certain amount of friendship with a specific NPC, you will start the friendship quests, which can be claimed once a day and are one of the hidden benefits of this game...... Okay, now it's up to you to perform, good luck. ”

Lu Pingchuan nodded gratefully to the other party, and then strode out of the door of the bar.

Half an hour later, Lu Pingchuan, who had completed the delivery task, stood in front of George's house again. Now the balance in his ID card is enough to pay for the clean-up of the bar, but before he can go back, he needs to find another key element of the sheriff's mission here - direct evidence.

More than four hours had passed since the time the mission was taken, and the sun was already a little westerly. During this period, Wen Jie sent a notice from his teammates who had completed the task, even though he knew that the difficulty of the sheriff's task was not the same as the coachman's task, but it invisibly added a little pressure to Lu Pingchuan. Although it is still too early before the deadline of the mission, in Lu Pingchuan's heart, he has already taken this attempt as the last chance to challenge the sheriff's mission! Stepping on the porch of George's house again, Lu Pingchuan took a deep breath and rubbed his somewhat astringent eyes with the back of his hand.

In the slightly soft light of the setting sun, all the furnishings in the room look so calm and quiet. This time, Lu Pingchuan did not allow himself to leave any blind spots, but carefully touched every corner of the floor along every counter, every corner of the wall, inch by inch, and even did not let go of the empty cabinet back, in order to ensure that he would never miss anything again.

The outer room and bedroom were still nothing, and Lu Pingchuan once again came to the back porch where the NPC fell. Through the fading daylight, Lu Pingchuan simply helped the "dead George" up, unbuttoned his shirt, took off his hat, and even took off his leather boots...... Disappointingly, however, he made no new discoveries. Frustrated, Lu Pingchuan sat down with his butt slid against the railing of the corridor, and accidentally brought down the robot he had just lifted - in the brilliant light of the setting sun, some faint flashes of light rose from the fingertips of "George", and quickly disappeared between the rough sand.

When Lu Pingchuan saw this moment, he involuntarily squatted down and grabbed the glowing hand of "George" - under the light at a certain angle, he finally saw that there seemed to be some white transparent particles between the robot's realistic fingers. Lu Pingchuan twisted a few grains with his fingers, put them in his mouth and licked them...... A familiar salty taste indeed!

The intricate clues in his memory began to sort themselves: Lu Pingchuan spit out the salty saliva in his mouth with a "puff", and took out the shopping list from George's pocket, which recorded the things he purchased in his last shopping before his death, which were butter, bread, ale wine, feed, medicine...... And licking salt!

"That's it!" Lu Pingchuan jumped up from the porch and went straight to the stable: licking salt is a supplementary source of minerals and salt necessary for raising large livestock, and it is often used as a flavoring agent for human food after being directly smashed among pioneers and border people.

With the help of the last rays of sunlight, Lu Pingchuan finally touched the piece of licking salt in the black rumbling stable—a horseshoe-shaped pillar of salt was missing a corner, and it was obvious that it had been used. Lu Pingchuan carefully put the licking salt into his waist bag, and carefully touched the "corpse" of the "dead" horse and George, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he hurried towards the bar.

By the time I got back to the bar, it was completely dark. The lattice window on the front porch of the bar is lit up with an alluring amber light. Lu Pingchuan stood in front of the door, but he was not in a hurry to enter, but repeatedly paced around the bar for three or four minutes before he made up his mind and pushed open the door of the bar.

"Hello, please pay the riot clean-up fee of 20 gold coins......" Without waiting for the bartender to finish speaking, Lu Pingchuan handed over his identity card, and then walked straight to the plot NPC: "Mr. Constantine, you are the murderer of George!" ”

"How so?" The NPC's tone still sounded calm and suspicious, Lu Pingchuan calmed down, took out the licking salt from his waist bag, and put it in the center of the wine table where the NPC was: "You poisoned the licking salt you sold to George, George broke the licking salt and smeared it with butter on the bread, so he was poisoned to death, and George's horse also died because of licking the same poisonous salt, so there will be two corpses of George and Ma with the same cause of death at the scene!" ”
