Chapter 240 Detective
"This is really ridiculous. They said a beautiful woman was coming in, but she turned out to have her face covered. It's as if someone has the ability to see through and can see what she looks like behind the veil." Zou Lianxun rolled his eyes when he saw the veiled woman behind him.
"You're right. Hey, who's that? Can you take off your veil for you?" Qian Boyen was much more straightforward and shouted directly at the beautiful woman.
"I'm sorry, sir. We have a rule in our building. To take off your veil, you have to guess the names of three songs or win three games." The veiled beauty's voice was like a silver bell, and it was indeed beautiful.
"Okay, it looks just like the real thing. Okay, then you sing and we'll guess." Qian Bowen leaned back and picked up an orange to peel it. Anyway, the food in the game tasted the same as outside, but it didn't fill him up in reality, so he didn't mind eating as much as he wanted.
Shi Feiye also started eating. Since she had already paid, if it was not enough, she could ask these two people to give her some and she would eat for free.
Four beauties stood by, and the masked beauty sat on the seat opposite, playing the pipa immediately.
The so-called chaotic and mixed sounds of the pipa sound like big and small pearls falling on a jade plate, even an amateur can tell that the pipa is played well, and the first piece of music is clearly "Ten Sides of Ambush".
He guessed the first song correctly without any suspense, and the next two songs turned out to be two pop songs. For a professional like Zou Lianxun, it was not difficult at all.
Then the masked woman took off her veil. Shi Feiye looked at her nervously and found that she was actually quite good-looking, but still far from the beauty he had imagined.
Zou Lianxun was very disappointed: "That's it? I thought it was some stunning beauty. The planners didn't even know how to make her face look good, and it doesn't cost any money. I'm really drunk."
"Maybe he's almost sick of playing with face-shaping. After all, there are so many NPCs in this game, and so far, I haven't come across one that looks exactly the same." Qian Bowen thought for a moment, and actually found something interesting:
"Hey, don't tell me, there really doesn't seem to be any NPCs in this game that look exactly the same, and some of the NPCs that are said to be brothers look quite similar, they are indeed made with great care."
"My second brother plans to run this game for more than fifteen years. If we don't lay a solid foundation, how can we develop it in the future? Moreover, this is a holographic online game, so the requirements will of course be higher." Zou Lianxun said disapprovingly.
The two of them felt that it was boring to stay there, and Zou Lianxun waved his hand at the beautiful woman playing the pipa:
"Stop playing. I want to ask you something. What happened to your Wanwan? Why did she end up in jail?"
The room suddenly fell silent. The beauty was stunned for a moment and quickly shook her head: "This cannot be said. Our mother said that no one is allowed to mention it."
"Hey, she said it herself, why can't you say it? Just say it." Zou Lianxun took out another ingot of gold and slapped it on the table, raising his chin, "Hey! See, if you tell me, this ingot of gold will be yours."
When Shi Feiye saw it, he saw that it was a gold ingot weighing ten taels, which would be worth one hundred taels of silver. It would probably be enough for the woman to earn for half a year.
Don't think that the gold and silver in this game are worthless. This is calculated according to the ancient algorithm. Ordinary NPCs probably don't even know what silver looks like. Silver and gold can only be seen in big cities.
"Okay, I'm used to using money to pave the way." Shi Feiye didn't have this habit anyway. Even in the game, she lived frugally.
The beauty hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:
"It's like this. When the Oiran Contest was held, Miss Wanwan and Miss Miaomiao from Baihua Tower were the most famous. On that day, the two of them received the same number of flowers. As a result, the third son of the city lord's family took a fancy to Miaomiao and finally selected her to be the Oiran. He also paid a high price of 10,000 taels to keep Miaomiao's first night."
"Then what? The third young master died? Wanwan became a suspect?" Shi Feiye guessed based on this logic.
"How is it possible? On the night of their virginity, Miaomiao died, and the Third Young Master was so surprised that he talked nonsense. The city lord arrested everyone who was present at the time. Wanwan was also arrested because she lived next door." The beautiful woman refuted Shi Feiye's guess.
"Uh, it's really normal. There's no problem at all." Shi Feiye's mouth twitched. She thought something was going to go wrong. After all this time, it turned out to be so logical.
"No problem at all. Hasn't the city lord found the murderer yet?" Qian Bowen sat up straight, as if he was interested. "How many days have passed?"
"It's been ten days since the murder happened. Wanwan was the most popular girl here, but now there's been no news for more than half a month. Her mother is so worried, but no one dares to act recklessly unless the city lord gives the order to release her."
"Oh, didn't you go to ask for any information?" Zou Lianxun asked.
"The city lord has issued an order. Anyone who dares to inquire about the news will be held accountable if they are found out."
Shi Feiye simply stopped talking and waited for Qian Bowen and Zou Lianxun to ask questions. Anyway, her imagination was too big and she was afraid that even the game planners couldn't cover it, so she decided to let two normal people ask.
When the two had asked almost all their questions, Qian Bowen signaled the five girls that they could leave. Only the three of them were left in the room. The two of them were talking passionately, and Shi Feiye still leaned in to listen.
"There must be something wrong with this city lord. A murder occurred in his own territory, and it was related to the murder of his own son. He still hasn't found the murderer in ten days. It's obvious that he doesn't take it seriously. Moreover, the madam doesn't dare to inquire about the news. Add to that his weird rules, there must be something wrong."
Qian Bowen's analysis was very serious, and Zou Lianxun rolled his eyes:
"Nonsense, I know there's a problem even if you don't tell me. The key is what should we do next! This is the disadvantage of holographic online games. They are too flexible and can do anything. As a result, there is no fixed direction, which is a headache."
"Oh, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first. It must be very exciting to explore the City Lord's Mansion at night." Qian Bo Wen said without thinking.
"That's true. Let's go. There's nothing to lose anyway. Let's go, let's go." As he said he was going to leave, Zou Lianxun stood up and really left.
Shi Feiye was simply drunk. These two people followed her in, but now it was as if they had triggered an adventure. Moreover, they were so enthusiastic and excited that she, the real host, didn't know what expression to put on.
"Wait a minute, you guys should at least pack your things. These things have already cost money. Besides, who knows how long it will take. What if I get hungry on the way? I don't want to eat those few kinds of food."
Shi Feiye was shouting as he stuffed the food on the table into his bag. Zou Lianxun was speechless:
"Sister-in-law, my brother usually doesn't lack food for you. What are you doing? If it really doesn't work, let's go out and eat first and then go into the City Lord's Mansion again."
"You know it's shameful to waste." While he was speaking, Shi Feiye had already packed all the things and immediately followed the two people to the City Lord's Mansion.
As expected, the City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded, but since the three people were invisible, no one noticed them sneaking in.
The three of them sneaked around, and thanks to Master Feiye's familiarity with the structure of the ancient building, he gave a few guesses, and finally the three of them found the main courtyard.
However, the yard was so large that the three of them couldn't figure out which room the city lord was in.
"We can't go directly to the city lord. When have you ever seen anyone face a big boss directly? We must look for clues first. Besides, the game level is not open to that high. We are at a low level now, so we definitely can't beat the city lord."
Shi Feiye followed the two people carefully, avoiding the guards patrolling around them. He felt that these two people were not reliable at all and the implementation plan they designed was too low.
"Huh? What my second sister-in-law said makes sense. Let's go to that room and eavesdrop. It looks a little lower-class than the building in the middle." Qian Bowen pointed to the left.
OK, it’s better than the previous method, so the three of them headed towards the building together.
They quietly moved to the side of the room and listened closely to what was going on inside. They heard an indescribable sound:
"Sir, you are so amazing. No wonder every girl is so obedient to you. You are so resourceful."
"This little mouth is so sweet, come on, give it a kiss."
Shi Feiye was startled and accidentally stepped on a stone next to her. Coincidentally, a team applied to come in, and she nodded her approval with a shudder.
As luck would have it, she didn't stand firmly and bumped into the wall next to her. Although the sound was not very loud, the people inside noticed it.
“Who’s outside!” After hearing an angry shout, the three people instinctively wanted to run, but the people inside had already rushed out.
Shi Feiye turned around and bumped into someone's chest. When she looked up, it was Qin Buju!
The white-robed knight was a sight to behold wherever he stood, enough to attract all the attention around him. The people inside rushed out, their clothes disheveled, and were startled when they saw the four people outside:
"Who are you and why are you sneaking here?"
Qin Buzhu didn't say anything, his brows were tightly knitted. He covered Shi Feiye's eyes with his hands, then looked sharply at the other two people beside him.
The two were about to happily shout "Second Brother" when they were startled by Qin Buju's action. Realizing what had happened belatedly, they both took a step back.
Qian Bowen tried to explain:
"Brother, this is not our fault. It was Second Sister-in-law who visited the brothel and triggered the adventure. We just came here to help her with the adventure. We didn't expect the NPCs here to be so unrefined. It's really not our fault."
Shi Feiye's eyes went dark and she was stunned. Why did Qin Buzhu cover her eyes?
Then she heard what these two people said, and she immediately became dissatisfied:
"You need to explain clearly what I mean by visiting a brothel. It was Sanshan and Junzi who asked me to come in to test it out. They said this was a legitimate place, so I came in. And I didn't expect to trigger an adventure!"
