They quickly dispersed and continued searching for clues.
"You want to kill me? Don't you even know if you have the ability?"
Qiao Zhi gave a cold laugh; she was a member of the Eight Gods Guild.
Su Deng didn't leave either; she looked up and stared at the chandelier on the ceiling.
Qiao Zhiwei paused, then followed her gaze to look up at the lamp. "What are you looking at?"
"I'm thinking..." Su Deng narrowed her eyes slightly, "How did he hang himself?"
Once the other players discovered how to harvest the golden sunflowers, their attention was focused on that, and they completely forgot about everything else.
This person hanged himself here out of nowhere for no reason; it couldn't have been just for the sake of growing a golden sunflower.
The room was dimly lit and gloomy, while thunder and lightning outside the window turned the sky a dark blue, and the moon had disappeared without a trace.
Su Deng took out a torch and touched the chandelier above with her sword. The chandelier swayed a few times and then fell to the ground.
The last source of light in the room was gone.
There was nothing suspicious on the ceiling; the body had been pulverized into a pulp, becoming nourishment for the golden sunflowers, leaving no clue whatsoever.
We have no choice but to give up for now.
Aside from that painting, there were no other clues about this building.
After circling around again, Su Deng decisively changed locations.
It was level with the ground, and it was the middle of the night with thunder and lightning, making it impossible to see the layout of the manor.
Only a few buildings were vaguely visible within the field of vision.
Su Deng's gaze fell on the one in the middle. She exchanged her points for a paper umbrella from the points shop and waded through the sunflower field, which was swaying and bowing its head in the sudden storm.
That paper umbrella was disposable.
80 points!!!
Changing it so easily, is Su Deng really that extravagant?
Qiao Zhi opened his mouth, glanced at the points he could use in the individual competition on his panel, silently took off his coat and put it on his head, then followed a road to catch up with Su Deng.
Who knew the game would include rain, and such heavy rain at that?
The main building of the manor is very large, exquisite and magnificent.
It doesn't look worn out at all.
The lights were still on.
"Who are you people, and how did you break into my house?"
"...If you don't leave, I'm calling the police!"
“Get out!”
The gate was open.
As soon as I got close, I heard stern shouts and reprimands coming from inside.
Several figures were driven out from inside, and the door slammed shut from the inside.
Those figures stood outside the door in the rain, using sunflower leaves to shield themselves from the rain.
"Who knew there were actually living NPCs here, and that it even triggered a plot event!"
"...Judging from his appearance, he is the male owner of this manor."
"But how can we go in and look for clues in this state?"
"Without any warning, we might as well just kill him!"
"NPCs cannot be killed."
“If he were the wife’s husband, even if he had truly forgotten where his wife was buried, he would certainly have clues about her grave.”
"We were too reckless just now. Let's reconsider our plan."
There are five players in this group, four men and one woman.
They come from all ages, from the elderly to the young.
One of them, a man in a white shirt, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, handsome, and wearing glasses, seemed to be the leader.
He began to analyze, and everyone else seemed to listen to him.
“These people…” Qiao Zhi looked them over, “I don’t recognize them.”
She looked at Su Deng, "How about we go over later?"
Su Deng didn't say anything, and simply walked out with her umbrella.
Upon seeing them, He Chao immediately became wary, thinking, "Someone's coming."
Lu Sinian looked over.
Taking advantage of the heavy rain, Su Deng washed the blood off her face.
At this moment, her oval face was clean and exquisite, and her almond-shaped eyes were bright.
It only faintly tinged with blood, and its aura was very cold.
Her long, damp hair, slightly matted, was loosely tied back.
With pale skin and a cold expression, he stood silently like a ghost in the pouring rain, holding a white umbrella.
But her beautiful face also gave her an ethereal, otherworldly air.
“Su Deng…” Lu Sinian paused, “You are Su Deng.”
Su Deng said calmly, "Yes."
Lu Sinian's eyes flickered behind his glasses, and he smiled, saying, "Seeing is believing, indeed."
Su Deng ignored him and walked towards the main entrance of the building.
“We were kicked out as soon as we went in. The rules of this game don’t allow killing NPCs.” Lu Sinian’s words clearly indicated that she already knew this, as she preferred to solve problems by violently killing NPCs.
Su Deng gave a cold laugh, walked straight to the door with her umbrella, and knocked on the door with her finger.
"I told you, I don't care how you got in, get out of my manor right now!"
"Get out of here or I'll call the police!"
The male homeowner's shout suddenly rang out from inside the house.
Su Deng spoke calmly, "I am a detective from the Divine Court Detective Agency, surnamed Su. I am here today because of a case your wife handled before her death."
He could make up excuses on the spot, speaking fluently without pausing.
He Chao was taken aback. "There's a character storyline in the mission?"
"No... I don't think so..." the other person said blankly.
Qiao Zhidu swayed, almost believing Su Deng's excuse.
Lu Sinian looked at Su Deng's slender figure, soaked by the rain, under the white paper umbrella, and a hint of amusement flashed across his eyes.
After Su Deng shouted these words, the room was silent for a minute.
The door opened.
But only a crack was opened, and the male homeowner's face came into view.
The moment Su Deng saw him clearly, she was stunned for a moment, "Fu Jin..."
The man frowned, fine lines appearing on his still handsome face, which was now etched with irritation. "You said you were the detective my wife hired before she died?"
