Pocket watch!

He had an idea and immediately pulled out the pocket watch.

"Why is there another pocket watch?" Tang Mianmian was stunned. "...Fuck! This guy actually stole from Lepnobet! He even dared to steal Lepnobet's things!"

Xiao Tangqiu quickly opened the lid of the pocket watch, and sure enough, there was a photo on the back of the lid. This photo was not as old as the two photos in the previous pocket watches. It was obvious that the photo was taken closer to the present, but the surface of the photo was also a little yellowed.

In the photo, there is also an extremely beautiful woman. Like the women in the previous two photos, her facial features and eyebrows are extremely similar to Lili Marlene. Although the eye color and hair color are different, the temperament and charm are extremely similar. She can even be regarded as the one who looks most like Lili Marlene among the three women.

He stared at the photo for a while, and suddenly found that there seemed to be faint handwriting on the back of the photo. He hurriedly and carefully tore the photo off the cover, turned it over, and sure enough, he saw a line of beautiful small words - Veronika.

"Ve...ro...ni...ka...Veronica? It should be a person's name, right?" Tang Mianmian also came over. "It's a nice name, and the person is pretty, too. What a pity... Alas! Such a beautiful woman with a tragic fate!"

Although she had a nice name and was a great beauty, since her photo had become Lepnobet's "collection", it meant that she must be dead.

Xiao Tangqiu said confidently: "This must be Lepnobet's third wife."

So far, they have found pocket watches with photos of Lepnobet's last two wives, and they also know their names - Maria and Veronica. They even found a pocket watch with a photo of Lepnobet's mother, and they also know her name - Laura.

According to Xiao Tangqiu's speculation, there should be a pocket watch with Lili Marlene's photo on it in the castle, but they never found it.

Where is Lili Marlene's pocket watch?

"Anyway... now we can confirm that the other person is dead," Xiao Tangqiu put the pocket watch into his pocket, "there are only two people left."

Seeing his actions, someone immediately questioned: "Is this pocket watch yours? Are you planning to steal something openly right under our noses?"

"This pocket watch looks quite valuable..."

Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly: "No, this is a prop related to the plot clues."

Now he finally understood why Su Manluo pretended to be a newcomer, because these newcomers were really a bit... troublesome.

"Props related to the plot clues? What are they?"

"What's the use of this thing? Can it save lives?"

Those people started asking questions at once.

Xiao Tangqiu couldn't really explain what the plot props were for; he was still a newcomer, after all! But the newcomers seemed to think he was hiding something, looking at him with unfriendly eyes and snatching up all the remaining ornaments.

Some people also stared at the pocket watch in Xiao Tangqiu's hand, as if they wanted to snatch it away, but were wary of Xiao Tangqiu's identity as an "old player".

Xiao Tangqiu was helpless and a little sullen. Now he began to understand Shen Yuan and his friends' attitude of rejecting newcomers...

So he ignored the newcomers, grabbed Tang Mianmian and walked out of the room. At this moment, Tang Mianmian suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute, there doesn't seem to be a portrait of Lili Marlene in this room!"

Xiao Tangqiu was stunned for a moment, and looked back. Sure enough, this room didn't have the portrait of Lili Marlene that was in other rooms, but there was a clear mark of varying depths on the wall. "...Maybe someone took it away?"

Tang Mianmian touched her chin and said, "That should be the case... If someone in a room dies, will the portrait in that room be taken away?"

"Maybe, let's go see the remaining two people," Xiao Tangqiu pondered, "If I remember correctly, the remaining two people should be the mother and son..." Because there are too many players in this copy, he can't remember everyone's faces yet, but the mother and son left a deep impression on him yesterday.

"I think so too. I remember the room of that mother and son should be..." Tang Mianmian brought Xiao Tangqiu to the front of the room. Sure enough, the candle at the door of the room was still lit. The two knocked on the door, and after a while, there was no movement in the room.

"Could it be that the people inside are also dead?"

Someone asked in horror.

"But the candle at the door is still burning..."

"Candles don't necessarily have anything to do with life or death! Maybe the candle at that guy's door was really blown out by the wind!"

Just as the group of newcomers were discussing, Shen Yuan and his group finally took action. The man in the windbreaker walked to the door of the room with a smile and kicked it open.

Behind the door, the middle-aged woman seemed to be about to move something to block the door. When she saw the door was kicked open, she was immediately terrified, but she quickly reacted. She immediately pinched her waist and cursed sharply: "What are you doing! You want to bully me, an orphan and a widow? I am not a vegetarian!"

"Bullying you? I just wanted to confirm whether you were dead or alive," the man in the windbreaker sneered. "Since you're not dead, why don't you open the door?"

The middle-aged woman yelled in a timid tone, "Why should I open the door for you? Who knows who you are? What if you are all bad people? We are orphans and widows..."

"Sister, calm down! We're all just wanderers in this world together. Sit down and talk it over," the middle-aged man said, smiling, trying to smooth things over. "Many hands make light work. If we all work together, we'll definitely find a way out..."

The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes at him, sneered, and slammed the door shut.

The middle-aged man was turned away and immediately became angry and humiliated: "What a jerk! You are such an ungrateful person!"

Xiao Tangqiu narrowed his eyes slightly. Now they could confirm that the mother and child were safe and sound. However, in the less than a minute after opening the door, he clearly saw the middle-aged woman tie her son to the head of the bed with a towel from the bathroom. Although she covered the child with the quilt, he still noticed the details under the quilt. No wonder the middle-aged woman refused to open the door and hurriedly closed it after the man in the windbreaker kicked it open...
