Chapter 332 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou looked at his expression that said, "You're so heartless, I've seen right through you," and didn't know what to think. But just then, he seemed to realize something and suddenly felt that this person looked familiar.
Well, you know what, I might have actually seen it before.
It's not from the memories given in this instance, but from much earlier, meaning I've seen it in other instances. So who is this?
He's been to so many dungeons and seen so many NPCs and players—how could he possibly remember them all?
However, judging from what this person said, they must have had some interaction before, and perhaps even a good relationship. So…
He started recalling from the first instance, all the way up to... the instance where they played Werewolf in the Snow Mountain Villa.
It seemed he had found someone who looked similar. He stared at the person's face for a long time, and only after confirming several times did he ask uncertainly, "Zhao Changzhou?"
The other person stuck out their tongue and winked, "Oh, it's kind of you to remember me..."
Lin Leyou took a deep breath. "Is it really you? So what are you going to do? Cooperate with me?"
Zhao Changzhou composed himself and nodded. "Yes, we want to cooperate with you... you guys."
Lin Leyou: "Us? Who else is there besides me?"
Zhao Changzhou shook his head, "How would I know? You don't know who my teammates are, and I don't know who your teammates are either. It's a little secret."
Lin Leyou: "It's just the two of us teams working together to clear the level, but can we hide our teammates' identities?"
Zhao Changzhou nodded. "That's right, that's what I meant. What do you think?"
Lin Leyou, "I don't think so..."
Zhao Changzhou: "What do you mean? Don't you want to? Why? Wouldn't it be easier with more people?"
Lin Leyou shook his head. "I said we can exchange information, but let's forget about a joint mission. The reason is simple: I've discovered that each of us has a different mission."
Zhao Changzhou was taken aback. "My mission is different from my teammates', and yours is different from your teammates'. Does that mean all four of us are different?"
Lin Leyou said, "If I'm not mistaken, each participant in the instance has a different task. If we team up... everyone has a different task. So, tell me, whose task should we help first?"
Zhao Changzhou blinked blankly. "That makes sense. It's not right to help anyone with their mission first. In that case, let's exchange information."
Lin Leyou nodded, "What do you want to ask? You ask one question, and I'll ask one question."
Zhao Changzhou: "No problem. Let me ask you, do you know Jiang Xiaming?"
Lin Leyou: "How could I not know? Ever since I got that prop, I've been forced to learn about Jiang Xiayue's whole family."
Zhao Changzhou covered his mouth, almost bursting out laughing. "Right, right, look at my brain, you should have seen him, right? He's here."
Lin Leyou, "You saw it, and that's all you want to ask?"
Zhao Changzhou waved his hand, "Alright, alright, let's begin formally. I'm asking you, do you know who killed Huang Bing?"
Lin Leyou: "I know."
Zhao Changzhou pressed further, "Who is it?"
Lin Leyou did not answer. "I'm asking you, is one of your missions related to Huang Bing's death?"
Zhao Changzhou was taken aback. "You haven't answered me yet."
Lin Leyou: "You asked me if I knew, and I answered yes. Now it's your turn, tell me!"
Zhao Changzhou nodded blankly, knowing full well that this was wrong, but he said aloud, "Alright, I'll learn from this experience. It's related! Tell me, who is it?"
Lin Leyou: "It's most likely Jiang Xiaming. Tell me, is this mission related to finding the real culprit?"
Zhao Changzhou: "It's related. How can you be sure it's Jiang Xiaming?"
Lin Leyou said, "Last night, my teammates saw him walking around the village. Although they didn't confirm that they saw him go to Huang Bing's house, he was the only one who went out last night. Everyone else in the village stayed at home."
It wasn't his teammate who saw it; it was his mechanical spider. And at this time, the recording from that night should have already been overwritten. That's good; he saw it beforehand.
Lin Leyou: "Is the mission to help the police find the real culprit?"
Zhao Changzhou said, "Why do you keep asking this question? Wasn't it already confirmed?"
Lin Leyou said, "Just answer my question, don't talk so much."
Zhao Changzhou: "Yes, it is indeed this one. So, are you planning to confirm my identity with him?"
Lin Leyou, "You asked that question?"
Zhao Changzhou shook his head, "No, it was just a casual question."
Lin Leyou: "I'm not interested. Just don't bother me."
Zhao Changzhou: "Alright, then let me ask you, have you noticed anything suspicious about this village?"
Lin Leyou shook his head, "We haven't found anything yet. What about your side?"
Zhao Changzhou, "I've noticed... we've noticed that a lot has been happening in this village lately, like the wedding tomorrow. Are you going to attend?"
Lin Leyou paused for a moment before remembering that Luo Qingzhou and Niu Xiaohua had given him an invitation to their wedding the day after tomorrow... no, it's already tomorrow.
Wait, should I also prepare a gift?
"You received an invitation too?"
Zhao Changzhou instinctively wanted to nod, but quickly asked, somewhat bewildered, "What invitation? Where did this invitation come from? Who sent you this invitation? You actually have an invitation?"
Lin Leyou found it a bit strange when he asked a series of questions. "What's wrong? How did you know they were getting married if you didn't have an invitation?"
Zhao Changzhou: "My teammate told me that Luo Qingzhou and Niu Xiaohua are getting married tomorrow, and the wedding will be held in Luo Qingzhou's villa."
Lin Leyou: "Who told him that?"
Zhao Changzhou said, "He said Luo Qingzhou told him that."
Lin Leyou: "Luo Qingzhou told me about this, and then gave me the invitation. Logically, your teammates should have had invitations too, so how come you didn't know?"
Zhao Changzhou quickly took out his phone, seemingly to contact his teammates. It was unclear who his teammates were, or what they were trying to do by concealing this information.
Zhao Changzhou quickly received the message: "There was no invitation."
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment, "What? No?"
Did they only send invitations to themselves? But why? Why only send invitations to themselves and not to others? They've already announced the wedding, so why didn't they send invitations?
So... is it because you can get in even without an invitation?
Lin Leyou pointed in the direction the group of people had left, "Why don't you talk to your teammate and ask him to get an invitation from Luo Qingzhou, so that he won't break any taboos by attending the wedding tomorrow?"
Zhao Changzhou muttered, "Attending a wedding without an invitation is taboo? You mean it might break some rules?"
Lin Leyou: "It is indeed possible. Better safe than sorry. Even without an invitation, it will be fine... So, are you willing to risk your lives to try it?"
Zhao Changzhou shook his head, "No, no, let's go ask for one then. I'll go ask for one."
Lin Leyou looked at him and realized he didn't intend to get up and leave now. "What's wrong? Is there another problem?"
Zhao Changzhou shook his head, "It's alright, we can talk about the rest later."
After saying that, he got up and left, quickly running in the direction the group of people had gone.
Lin Leyou then got up and went back into the house, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and naturally tidied up the kitchen before starting to think about what to do next.
We can't just sit idly in the village, can we? Are we going to go hiking again? Or should we go for a walk in the fields outside?
Forget it, let's go check out Luo Qingzhou's house first; there are a lot of people there watching the commotion.
He locked the door before leaving. Luo Qingzhou's house wasn't far from his. Anyway, Luo Qingzhou was very rich, so he could just find the best-looking and biggest house.
After walking for a while, he soon saw a beautiful house. This house was a little different from the traditional good houses in his mind. Luo Qingzhou's house had the characteristics of this village, that is, the ethnic characteristics. It was a brick and tile house, and there were patterns and carvings in many places.
It's obvious at a glance that it's a very nice house, completely different from the other houses in the village. Other houses may have some decorations, but none are as elaborate or exquisite as this one.
To be honest, it's not bad that Niu Xiaohua married into such a family. At least Luo Qingzhou really likes Niu Xiaohua, though I really don't know how much he does.
Lin Leyou took a deep breath, and as he was about to walk over, he suddenly realized something: this house was indeed Luo Qingzhou's home.
But... how come he didn't see a single person? Wasn't it just Xue Rui's mother who brought so many villagers to witness Luo Qingzhou giving money?
And Zhao Changzhou arrived later, so why haven't we seen a single person yet? Did they all go inside?
Luo Qingzhou is so generous? She invited everyone into the house? Even Zhao Changzhou, who arrived later, wasn't left out. If that's the case, does that mean I'll be invited in as long as I get close?
He slowly approached the gate, feeling a little anxious. He wondered if something had happened to Xue Rui, as she hadn't sent him any messages yet. Was it inconvenient or impossible for her?
Just in case, he put the invitation Luo Qingzhou gave him in his pocket when he left home, not knowing if it would be useful now that it wasn't a wedding.
He accepted the invitation, but since Luo Qingzhou had exchanged it for the clues he provided, it couldn't be disregarded.
Sure enough, just as he reached the front door, he saw Luo Qingzhou peek out from inside. "Hey? Isn't this Lin Leyou? What brings you here?"
Lin Leyou: "I just happened to be passing by and came to take a look. Isn't the wedding tomorrow? Why isn't there any preparation at all?"
Luo Qingzhou blinked. "What preparations?"
Lin Leyou, "Don't you put up the '囍' character at your wedding?"
