Chapter 7 The Mission Begins

In his dream, he saw Daphne, the beautiful girl in the painting. The bright moonlight sprinkled on her silver-white hair, and the girl sat quietly by the window, as if waiting for Lu Qing's arrival. Lu Qing slowly approached the girl, but saw her lips slightly open, as if she was muttering something.

"What did you say?" Lu Qing was a little curious, and walked forward involuntarily. The girl turned her face and smiled shyly at him. Those lilac eyes were like shining gems, and Lu Qing was a little dazed when he saw it. However, at this time, her face suddenly changed, her originally snow-white and delicate skin suddenly became rapidly thin and sunken, her hair slowly dried up, and a pair of beautiful purple eyes disappeared, replaced by dark and empty eye sockets. Fishy blood kept pouring out of her eyes, and a hoarse and obscure sound came out of the girl's throat.

"Ahh Lu Qing sat up from the bed, his back wet with cold sweat. At the same time, a line of blood came to his mind: 1. Correctly identify the murderer of Carol Burke in three days. 2. During this time, investigate the secrets of the Carol family and find a special collection. Once you have completed the above tasks, you can return to space. During the mission, all characters related to the case will not leave Daphne Manor. From now on, the mission officially begins.

"Carol Burke is dead?" Lu Qing pinched his eyebrows, only to feel that his head was a little swollen: "It seems that the hangover is still a bit powerful, and I won't drink so much next time......" He carefully recalled last night's dream, it seems that this mission must be inseparable from the girl named Daphne. The mission was only given three days this time, but it was very complicated for him to explore the content of the investigation. Thinking of this, Lu Qing only felt that his head hurt even more. And, there's something even more dangerous......

"Oh no!" At this time, the maid Amanda pushed open the door in a panic and rushed into Lu Qing's house. Her face was full of horror, and she said quickly to Lu Qing, "Master Burke...... Killed! "What? Who did it? Although Lu Qing already knew about this, he still had a shocked expression on his face.

"I don't know, this morning, Young Master Owen went to look for the master, but found that he had fallen on the floor of the bedroom covered in blood, and his death was very terrible." Amanda trembled and said, "Lady Anatta fainted sadly when she learned about this, and now Master Owen has asked us to gather all the people in the manor to the hall, and he said that the prisoner must be in the manor. ”

"Do the other guests know what's going on?"

"They don't know yet, Young Master Owen didn't allow us to talk about it, but just asked the servants to make an excuse, saying that there was something important to announce, and they notified people to gather in the living room."

"I see." Lu Qing asked while wearing his coat, "Did you call the police?" "Not yet. For some reason, none of the phones in the manor could be made this morning, and all the mobile phones lost their signal. Amanda's face looked a little haggard: "All the vehicles in the garage have been damaged to varying degrees and are unable to drive. In the eyes of others, these strange changes in Daphne Manor may have been caused by the murderer, but only Lu Qing knew in his heart that this must be the intervention of the space, so that everyone could not leave here.

"Young Master Owen has already called several other servants down the mountain. If you're lucky, you'll be able to spot other vehicles on the road, and you'll probably be able to contact the police tonight. Amanda said. Okay, I see. Lu Qing didn't think so in his heart. Now that the space has officially intervened in the mission, those servants are afraid that they will not return in the past few days.

There were already a lot of people gathered in the living room, and after seeing Lu Qing's figure, the red-eyed Betsy threw herself directly into his arms. "Father, he...... How could this be...... "Becky's crying pear blossoms are raining, her eyes and nose are red, and she looks very cute. Lu Qing couldn't bear to push her away, so he could only comfort her clumsily.

"Hello, are you the tutor Lu Qing that my father hired back last month?" A handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes walked in front of Lu Qing. He was wearing a light gray suit, he was not very old, he should be in his early twenties, but his eyes revealed calmness and wisdom beyond his age, and he was not a simple character at first glance.

"It's me." Lu Qing nodded, and when the man saw this, he politely stretched out his hand to him: "Hello, I am the eldest son of this family, Carol Owen." The two chatted briefly, and then several other guests came to the hall sleepily. It was just before six o'clock in the morning, and most people looked a little listless because they went back to rest late last night.

"Isn't this Owen? Long time no see. "When Charles saw the acquaintance, he immediately stepped forward to say hello." Elena, why are you so sad? Charles noticed that his fiancΓ©e and Betsy were crying heartbreakingly, and he felt that something was wrong. Everyone's here, right? Owen walked to the center of the living room and said with a heavy expression: "I'm really sorry to disturb your rest early in the morning." However, I have sad news for you. My father, last night, was killed. ”

"What?" When everyone heard his words, they all showed surprised expressions. Lu Qing was on the side, quietly observing everyone, trying to find some flaws. "How so? Obviously he was fine last night......" James didn't believe that his old friend had been killed, and he asked in disbelief: "Burke, is he really dead?" ”

"yes, you're not kidding us, are you?" Catherine was still a little angry because she hadn't rested well, but now her beautiful face was full of fear, and she couldn't seem to believe her ears.

"Who the hell did that?" Aisha covered her mouth in surprise, and Cameron patted his wife's hand lightly, and then said, "Last night around twelve o'clock, I watched Mr. Burke return to his room with the help of the servant. Could it be that after that, he was killed? ”

And Daniel saw that all the servants in the house had solemn expressions, and the two young ladies were crying pear blossoms with rain, so he believed that this bad news was indeed not a joke. He frowned and stepped forward to comfort Owen, "I hope you can mourn." However, I would like to ask, have you caught the murderer of Mr. Burke? ”

"Not yet, but I don't think the murderer has left the villa yet. Perhaps, there is a person in this hall who is the murderer of his father. Owen looked around at everyone and said coldly. And his words made everyone present disgraced.

Lady Beatrice was not there, she and Mrs. Beatrice had spoken too late the previous night, so they simply stayed in a room, and in the morning Lady Beatrice fainted when she learned that her husband had been killed, while Lady Beatrice took care of her in her house. Therefore, she was also directly ruled out of the possibility of murder.
