162, Rose Manor (Authenticity)
Chapter 2, The Day the Sith Was Killed
The player casually mentioned the name Sith, and everyone in the living room changed their faces, "Why didn't you see Cousin Sith, where is he?" ”
Gicardo immediately stood up and explained: "Miss ---, don't you know about Young Master Sith? ”
The player shook his head and pretended not to know, "I used to be in my hometown, where communication was not well developed. ”
Gicardo wanted to continue explaining, but Shamido reached out to stop him, "It was my negligence that I forgot to tell you that the Sith had died a month ago. ”
With a look of horror, the player pulls out a letter from his body, "This is a letter from my Sith cousin, just over a week ago. ”
The living room was silent, and Haru forcefully lowered the fork in his hand and quickly rushed to the player, stopping the player when he tried to snatch the letter.
Although Haru was only fourteen years old, he was half a head taller than a one-meter-seven player, and he angrily slammed the table, "What do you mean?" Suddenly began to laugh, "Or rather, this letter is actually fake, and there is nothing in it at all." ”
Elvie frowned, feeling that Haru was deliberately bullying the player, and before she could speak, Mei Jie spoke first: "Haru, sit down." ”
"What are you, what qualifications do you have to order me?" Haru hates Mei Jie the most, and feels that they don't look like sisters and brothers at all, but like enemies in the previous life.
Mei Jie didn't stop what she was doing, she cut the steak into very small pieces, and after doing all this, she put down the knife and fork in her hand and looked at Haru, her younger brother, for a long time. "Yes, I'm your sister."
"Mother hasn't spoken yet, what are you putting on?" Haru still didn't choose to speak, and began to use Shamido as a shield.
The player shook the letter in his hand, "Whether this letter is true or not, it is better to give it to the aunt to see it and understand, or entrust it to the housekeeper." ”
As the steward of the Rose Manor, you have to handle all kinds of things for your master, including delivering letters. After Gicardo confirmed, the letter was indeed in the Sith handwriting.
At the thought of her dead stepson, Sarmito's tears began to flow uncontrollably, "My poor boy, if he had stayed with us that day, wouldn't there have been such an accident!" ”
Gicardo handed Shamido a handkerchief, "Madam, if the young master is alive, he will not want you to be sad about his affairs." ”
So, what really happened that day?
One by one, the suspects began to reminisce about that day......
Shamido: "It was Sith's birthday, and when the Sith had an accident, I was preparing what I needed for dinner with my youngest daughter. ”
Elvie: "Well, my mother did be with me that day, and we were going to decorate the whole banquet hall with roses. At that time, my mother's finger was also pricked by a thorn in the rhizome of a rose. ”
Mei Jie: "At that time, I was in my room, waiting for the maid to call me downstairs. ”
Haru: "Why should I tell you what happened that day, what are you?" "I practiced my sword in my room as usual that day, and I didn't go out at all, so the death of the Sith had nothing to do with me. ”
Contaville: "Poor nephew, only eighteen years old, and when I was his age, I was running around with my eldest brother. Ahem, I accidentally diverted the topic, and I was enjoying the flowers in the garden at that time. If you don't believe me, you can ask the gardener, he's with me. ”
Hermanta: "The Lord of Contaville was indeed with me, and at that time the Lord said that there were many fewer flowers in the courtyard, and I told the Lord that it was the Madame and the Little Miss who used some of the roses to decorate the banquet. ”
Jikado: "Young Master Sith said that he was not feeling well, I went to get the medicine for his headache and gave it to him, but before it was delivered, the young master was already ......"
Huet: "The young master's face was wrong that day, he went upstairs and told me not to let anyone disturb his rest in the afternoon." ”
Ovila: "It was I who found the young master lying in a pool of blood, oh my God, if I could have found it earlier, the young master would not have died!" ”
Esmin: "I've been working in the kitchen and haven't been to the front. ”
Heath: "I helped deliver Esmin's dessert to the front room, and I haven't been anywhere else at all. ”
Testimony has been collected, is there a lie in it?
"Player, you have three chances to choose which one to tell the truth."
Bai Fang Yi chose Contaville, a man who looked amiable, but his eyes showed a hint of greed.
In the afternoon, the player finds Contaville in the courtyard and gently explains his intentions: "Uncle, I want to know what you were doing all day on the day Cousin Sith died?" ”
Contaville was chosen by the Truth Word and could not lie for the time being, "In the morning I came outside the manor, and by noon I had been in the courtyard, doing nothing, looking at the roses. ”
Truth can only be activated once, and it will become ineffective when used on a single person.
The second goal, Bai Fangyi chooses Haru.
The player comes to the empty courtyard and sees Haru practicing his sword, and he seems to like these martial arts very much, and he never gets tired of it. When Haru saw the player, he stopped what he was doing, put the rapier on the shelf next to him, and looked impatient at her, "What are you looking for me?" ”
The player uses [True Words] on Haru: "What did you do all day the day Cousin Sith died?" ”
Haru's expression became even more irritable, "I stayed in the room all day and didn't go out, because my brother didn't let me practice swords outside, saying that I would accidentally injure people passing by, hmph, those useless guys, all of them are dead." ”
The third target, Bai Fangyi chooses Xisai.
The player uses Truth on Cisse in the hope that she will tell herself what she did the day the Sith died.
Cisse: "I'm still the same as before, I get up at four o'clock every day, and after I finish the kitchen preparation, I start to wake up Esmin, who enslaves me every day to do this and that, it's the devil at all. I finally had time to rest at noon, and I made a dessert for the first time in a long time, but before I could eat a few bites, Esmin knocked it off, saying that this was something that even dogs don't eat. I was always in the kitchen before the afternoon dinner, washing dishes and washing pots, without any breaks. ”
Of the three, only Heather said the most detailed, but are these true, or is it mixed with water?
Friendly reminder - [True words]: 30% of the truth.
Bai Fangyi almost laughed out loud in front of Shamiduo when he saw this reminder, and the authenticity was only thirty percent! Therefore, what the previous people said may be half-truthful, but there is no basis for judging the truth.
What the hell is the game and who designed it?
(The maker himself sneezes)
"Game Reminder: The player is a female reporter in the game, but it can only be revealed at the last moment, and it must be hidden from others at all times."
Regarding the game setting of the female reporter, she is indeed the distant cousin of the Sith, and she is rebellious and doesn't want to do what her family asks, so she secretly reported her favorite journalist major during school, and is now active in major news as a reporter, and the dead Sith knows about it and has been encouraging her to be herself through letters.
Chapter 3, Masquerade
Contaville was fond of the Rose Manor, and as a child he had heard stories about the elves in the Rose Manor...... In memory
"Sorry, isn't it too boring to listen to my story?"
The player shakes his head and expresses his interest in the story: "Uncle Contaville, I love roses and I like Rose Manor, so what you tell me is what I like. ”
Contaville laughed and told Hughet, who was behind him, to prepare some refreshments while he continued to chat with his lovely cousin. Hutt received the order and bowed slightly, then left the courtyard.
This is a glass house in the courtyard, which is planted with the most famous treasure of the Rose Manor, the red rose. Red roses need careful care to bloom beautifully, and they are well cared for in terms of color and floral body.
The player casually mentions the gardener: "If it weren't for Hermanta, these roses wouldn't have bloomed so beautifully." ”
Contaville's kind eyebrows suddenly changed to a feeling, gloomy and full of greedy desire, "The roses bloom well because of good fertilizer, and they have nothing to do with the gardener." ”
His words contain a lot of meanings, what does fertilizer mean? Why is the rose thing irrelevant to the gardener?
Contaville seemed to sense his faux pas and hurriedly remedied: "I'm sorry, I just remembered something bad, which caused my tone to be a little heavier. ”
At this time, Hut pushed the food cart to the glass room, "Today's afternoon tea is Ceylon Royal Black Tea with a delicious cake, and since Lord Contaville doesn't like sweets, he will prepare a turkey sandwich for you." ”
When the same food is placed on the table, the player notices that Contaville on the other side still doesn't look better. He seemed to be holding back his anger, perhaps because of the presence of outsiders, and did not show it immediately.
"---, Hutt's black tea is delicious, you can taste it. And the cake made by Esmin is still a must, but unfortunately I don't like sweets, so I don't have a fate. ”
He deliberately emphasized that he didn't like to eat sweets, but his eyes were always fixed on the beautiful little cake in the player's hand, and it was obvious that he was talking back, and what was the reason why he couldn't tell others what he liked directly.
It was Hutte, who explained for the first time that Contavel didn't like sweets, and Contavel didn't deny it, so he pretended not to like it later. Contaville is half the master in the Rose Manor, and it stands to reason that the subordinate obeys the master, not the master obeys the subordinate, and the cattiness in this seems to have something to do with the cake.
The player picks up the eight-point black tea that Hutt gave her, puts it on the tip of his nose and smells the tea, "It's very fragrant, I don't know how it tastes?" "While putting down the empty cup, use your little finger to cushion the tabletop so that the appliance does not make an indecent sound." Sorry, I'm not hungry right now, if I don't mind, I can take them to my room and eat them slowly. ”
Hutt's eyes flickered, and he immediately found a reason to reject the player's opinion: "Miss ---, if you bring the cake back to the room, after a long time, the cream on it will melt, which will affect the taste." ”
The player is disappointed: "I forgot about it." ”
It's getting dark outside, and the player looks up and remembers something, "Oops, I promised little Elle to make mango pie with her, won't she think I've broken my word on purpose." ”
The player leaves their position and apologizes to Contaville, "Uncle Contaville, I'm sorry, I need to leave for a while. ”
Contavel waved his hand absently, "You hurry up and go to little Elvie, that kid usually looks well-behaved, but when he is angry, he doesn't recognize his six relatives." ”
After leaving the glass room, the player has been staring at them from a position where they can see Contaville and Hutht, wondering if something else is going to happen to them.
Hutt tosses the untouched cake into the rose bush, and the rose that absorbs the cake becomes even more delicate as far as the player can't see.
