Chapter 75: Tempest: Qualifications (2)
Yang Yang and Tang Tu divided the work, Yang Yang was in charge of Ethan and the two children, and Tang Tu walked around the garden. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition to the player who had just been teleported in, there were other NPCs in the garden, but the NPCs and players did not have their names on their heads, so Tang Tu had to carefully identify them and go forward to talk to them to obtain the identity information of the other party.
Tang Tu had spoken to almost everyone, and there were more than 20 NPCs with names in the garden, including friends of Mars and his wife, parents of their sons and classmates, and neighbors who lived nearby, but only Mrs. Mars was missing.
Tang Tu turned his head to look at the villa, raised his feet and walked inside.
Suddenly, the grass at the side door of the villa shook violently for a while, and it seemed that an animal or someone was hiding there. Tang Tu took out the Assassin's Medal and put it on his cuffs, walked over vigilantly, and activated Hawkeye.
There are no people and no animals, but there is a ring in the grass, it seems that there are indeed people or animals in the grass just now, and the ring should have been dropped by the other party.
Tang Tu put the ring in his pocket and continued to walk towards the villa.
The villa is huge, the ground floor is all glass faΓ§ade, but because of the light in the house, you can see the outside from the inside, and you can't necessarily see the inside from the outside. There was only one woman in the room, and she was busy at the cooking table.
"Grace, do you need help?" Tang Tu greeted the other party.
"'A chef is not a butcher'? You're here so early, Ethan and they're all outside, we don't need your help here, so let's go play with them. Grace's name appeared on the top of her head.
Tang Tu smiled and shook his head, "Everyone is playing, you are the only one who is busy, you are too careless, you are preparing the cake?" I can help with the decorating, I'm pretty good at it. β
"yes, I didn't expect that, since you want to help, then help me bring the cake out of the oven first, and I have to prepare the juice... Ah, there's so much more to do..."
Tang Tu picked up the anti-scald gloves on the table and put them on, opened the oven embedded in the wall and took out the cake inside, the freshly baked cake was very hot, Tang Tu could even feel the heat emitted by the cake.
By helping with the housework, Tang Tu quickly narrowed the distance between him and Grace, and after chatting for a while, he asked tentatively, "How is Ethan's work?" "In the garden before, Tang Tu made a unified NPC and found that there were Grace's friends and colleagues, as well as Ethan's friends, but Ethan's colleagues were missing.
Sure enough, Grace sighed, "You know, it's been more than two months since he quit his job, and he hasn't sold a single design... However, he seems to have been very busy, and yesterday he said that he would submit a new plan to the customer for review in a few days, and I hope it will pass this time. β
So it sees, the man has no income for more than two months, no wonder the hostess doesn't look very happy.
"Ethan has talent, he can." Tang Tu comforted.
There was a faint sound of talking at the door, and other players came to him, and four girls walked in as they spoke.
"Ah, someone arrived first..."A girl glared at Tang Tu with unkind eyes, as if Tang Tu had robbed her of her candy.
"Don't talk nonsense, maybe he's an NPC," another girl pushed the girl, looked up at Tang Tu and asked, "Who are you?" What does it have to do with this family? β
Tang Tu smiled bitterly in his heart, he was the worst at dealing with this kind of girl, "I'm not an NPC, the one next to me is." Tang Tu pointed at Grace, and while wiping his hands, he took off his apron and prepared to retreat.
The other girl next to her stared at Grace as soon as she entered the door, feeling that she was a little more shrewd than the other three, and sure enough, she found the problem when she opened her mouth, "Grace, you are Ethan's wife Grace, right, where is your wedding ring?" β
This girl was so direct that she asked Grace directly, Grace was stunned for a second before she reacted, and then rummaged through the table in a hurry, obviously her wedding ring was missing.
Tang Tu's heart moved, and he took out the ring in his pocket and handed it over, "The one I picked up at the door just now, is it yours?" β
Grace's eyes lit up, and she took the ring away and put it on, "I was scared to death, I thought I lost it..."
The girl who asked before stared at Tang Tu, "Where did you pick up the ring?" β
Tang Tu chuckled, "It's right at the door, I guess it may be that Grace didn't pay attention when she entered the house, and the ring slipped off her finger." β
"Impossible," the fourth girl glared at Tang Tu as if she was looking at a prisoner, "The wedding rings are all specially selected, it is impossible that even the owner of the ring slipped and couldn't feel it..."
Tang Tu helplessly spread his hands, "Then I don't know, it won't be me who stole it, if it was me, I wouldn't have returned it." β
Why didn't Tang Tu tell the truth? This is an assessment, isn't it, since he is not a teammate, he is a competitor, plus these four girls successfully caused the mischief factor in Tang Tu's heart, so he lied.
Tang Tu's words were so reasonable that the four girls couldn't refute them at all, so they had to point the finger at Grace.
The shrewd-looking girl still asked Grace stiffly, "Your wedding ring is missing, why didn't you notice it?" Are you hiding something? β
Tang Tu was standing in the back eavesdropping, and he had the same question. If someone stole Grace's ring, how could she not have noticed?
Grace looked a little panicked, and her face became a little bad, but she still gave an explanation, "I was making cakes before, and I was afraid that the ring would be covered with flour, so I took the ring off first. β
"But that's not what you said when I first asked you, why do you look so panicked if you just took the ring off and put it away?"
β... I forgot, I forgot where I put the ring, Ethan was verbose, and if he found out that I had lost the ring, he would be more nervous than I was. β
"Is that so?" All four girls looked at Grace.
To be honest, their attacks were too outward, which made people feel very uncomfortable, and their way of communicating was too direct, which only raised Grace's vigilance, and Tang Tu thought that they would not be able to find out useful information if they continued like this, and were ready to slip away.
The shrewd girl was silent and thought for a while, then suddenly she screamed and pointed at Grace and said, "You said you took off the ring and put it in the house, but the man just said that he picked up the ring at the door, and the two of you contradict each other, one of them must be lying." β
The four girls all suddenly realized, and hurriedly turned back to find Tang Tu, but there was no trace of him in the house.
Tang Tu came out of the house to find Yang Yang, and the two of them summarized the news.
