Chapter 66, Rashomon in the Desert
Rashomon is a famous allusion from a famous one that revolves around a homicide case, and each person involved has a different set of accounts, and it is impossible to distinguish between right and wrong. This one, which was later adapted into a movie, is just as famous. This is the term that is used to describe a situation that is confusing and difficult to discern the truth.
The reason why the Sweetwater Hotel murder case is called "Rashomon in the Desert" is naturally because the situation is similar. In this mission, the main line is to track down the murderer of a certain lord, but the situation is confusing: the innkeeper who goes out to rob with the robbers after marketing the stolen business, the hotel chef who works as a robber for half the year and the cook for half the year, the innkeeper who has a slight sense of justice but wants to learn more about the world, the innkeeper who always wants to marry a rich man and then poison her husband to monopolize the family property, the robber who comes to the hotel with the treasure to wash his hands, the patrol who chases the robbers but abandons his job and flees when he thinks the treasure is in hand, the bard who has a cold and selfish personality, and is opposed by the people because of his cruelty, so that together with his brother, he was expelled by the nearby lords and wanted to go to the capital to complain...... In the entire plot, almost everyone has a motive to kill for various reasons, and they can also find opportunities to kill.
In the whole mission, the only thing players can be sure of is that the person definitely didn't kill himself.
This mission naturally requires solving the case, but what is going on with this case? Until the time of the panda crossing, the players have not been able to discuss the result.
Of course, the biggest problem for pandas now is not to solve the case, but to ...... This quest is not a "maze random task", but one of the fixed random tasks in the desert area.
As long as you walk in the desert of the Western Continent, there is a certain chance of encountering this inn in a small oasis. If you don't want to do this task, you can leave. If you're willing to do a mission, you can head to the hotel and make a cameo appearance as Sherlock Holmes.
Some strategy fanatics have summarized the experience of many players doing this quest and made a very detailed analysis. Originally, according to the analysis, it was the lord's younger brother who killed the murderer. But then someone followed the analysis to solve the case, and as a result, new information was discovered. So the analysis was updated again, and then the case was solved against it, and new information was discovered...... After a while, it was discovered that some of the information would be wrong and did not match past experience.
This situation is repeated a lot.,Strategy maniacs are helpless to announce.,This task has a lot of randomness.,The details inside may change.,If you want to crack the task.,It's recommended to write down the entire strategy information.,And then observe carefully.,Follow the map.。
With this method, there are many people who have successfully solved the case, but compared with the information of at least 70,000 or 80,000 words, as well as more than 100 key doubts that need to be observed, even if there is information for reference, there are many people who cannot accurately find all the doubts.
This requires strong observation skills, as well as sharp thinking. Otherwise, just by comparing that pile of information, you will only get dizzy.
The panda thought for a moment, took a step, and walked towards the hotel.
He wondered how things would play out when the random missions in the game became a reality.
So far, the traversers have not found any cases of "duplicate missions", and since this is the case, this mission should be no exception.
If the task cannot be repeated, then how will the doubtful points that were divided at the beginning develop in the end? How will this confusing murder case be resolved in the end?
Thinking of this, the panda's heart is like there are seven or eight kittens scratching and scratching, itching and curious.
From the desert to the oasis, the distance was not far, and it only took him a moment to come to the oasis and to the door of the hotel.
The hotel looks a little old, but the building is still very sturdy, and you can see that the materials are strong. There was a sign on the door of the hotel, but instead of words, it was food, beds and hot water. This is the practice of many hostels because the owner is illiterate.
Of course, the owner of the Sweetwater inn is literate, and he just pretends to be illiterate.
The panda walked in through the open door, and the guy who was dozing off in the corner immediately greeted him and asked him if he wanted to eat or stay.
"Eat. Panda said, taking out a gold coin, "Stay too." ”
The man took the gold coin and said with a smile: "In other words, we are a desert, and everything is expensive. If you eat and stay at a hotel, you may have to pay more. ”
Panda nodded: "Don't worry, I don't mean to deny as much as I should give." ”
The man was relieved, first asked the panda to sit down, and then asked him what he needed, and then hurriedly ran to the back kitchen.
A moment later, a rather seductive-looking maid came down from upstairs, and when she saw the panda, her eyes lit up at first, but then she noticed the holy emblem on his armor, her eyes suddenly dimmed, and she squeezed out an obviously reluctant smile, came over to say hello, and sat down behind the counter.
Panda didn't care about her coldness - he really didn't want to provoke this kind of woman who wanted to poison her husband so that he could inherit the inheritance.
A moment later, a voice came from outside the door, and a tall and gloomy knight strode in, and when he saw the maid, his eyes lit up, but he did not speak immediately, but stood at the door, waiting for a man and a woman to come in, and then walked to the counter, and asked, "Do you have a good room?"
"Of course!" replied the maid at once, "I wonder what the three of them are called?"
"Baron Noon. The grim-looking knight replied, "This is Baron Noon and his wife, and I am the chief knight of their family." ”
The panda didn't say a word, watched them register, and went upstairs.
These three people are naturally the noble Baroness Noon and his wife who plan to go to Molai City to file a complaint, and the nobleman's younger brother Little Noang. Looking at the appearance of the two men, there are indeed some similarities.
It's just that...... Why didn't little Noang say his identity? Is his identity a secret? Or is it the real him, but he is not actually from the Noang family?
After a while, the meal was served. The guy who is a robber for half a year and a cook for half a year, his skills are indeed nothing to say, and the panda is very satisfied.
While he was eating, it was getting late, and the men planted a few torches on the pillars of the ground floor hall to illuminate the hall.
The light of the torches was not bright, but it kept shaking, shaking the figures like ghosts.
After the panda was full, he was about to go back to his room to rest, when he suddenly heard footsteps at the door, but a tall and thin man ran over and rushed in.
"Is old Ryan here?" he asked aloud, "I'm dying of hunger!
The man, who obviously knew him, was about to go over to say hello, when another soldier, who was a little shorter, but unusually strong, chased after him, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "Pursue the fugitives, and no one shall move!"
Suddenly, there was a dead silence in the hall.
