Chapter 27 looks like it needs to be rushed.
How could Zhou Pingchuan know his identity in the dungeon?
Zhou Pingchuan... are you watching his live stream?
Xia Mian was so shocked by the information that he forgot to wash his hands. Only after the group notification to continue recording did he hurriedly rinse off the foam and turn off the tap.
In his WeChat account, there lay a quiet electronic invitation sent to him by Zhou Pingchuan, with the location marked as a hotel in Nangang.
Nangang is very close to where he recorded the show, Friday night... According to the schedule, I don't know if the first episode will be finished.
Looks like we need to expedite this," Xia Mian thought, closing her eyes briefly.
If he didn't need the other party's help right now, he would definitely have given this troublesome villain a good beating!
Xia Mian silently fantasized about beating Zhou Pingchuan up, when suddenly someone outside in the corridor shouted at the top of their lungs, "Oh no! Oh no! Zhu Juxing is dead!"
aestivation:"?"
Zhu Ziqi is out of the game too?
The remaining three guests gathered in front of Zhu Ziqi's door, just like last time. Xia Mian secretly peeked into the house, where the "death scene" drawing was still on the floor. This time, the little figure was intact, unlike Zheng Fushang who was in such a terrible state last time.
Zhang Yuno muttered, "The production team did a really rough job. They drew the pig with such beautiful hair as a bald head."
Xia Mian's eyes sharpened.
Just then, a sailor happened to pass by, and Xia Mian grabbed him: "What was Zhu Juxing like when he died?"
"I didn't dare to look," an extra said, her eyes filled with terror. "I heard it was super, super horrible, blood was even seeping out from under the door, sob sob sob!"
Xia Mian thanked him, and the extras left in a panic. Then, as per procedure, the captain rushed to the scene once again.
Wiping away tears with a handkerchief as she walked, she said, "Zhu Juxing is dead. How am I going to explain this to my fans? I must catch this murderer today. Anyone who can provide clues will be richly rewarded!"
“I have a clue,” Zhang Yuno suddenly remembered, “At yesterday’s ball, Superstar and Baron bumped into each other and had a little argument.”
“It’s another baron. Why don’t we arrest him?” Chang Yi suggested.
“There’s another person,” Zhang Yuno added, “At first, the young lady wanted to find a cowboy as her dance partner, but the dealer intercepted her.”
Captain: "You mean the dealer is also a suspect?"
Zhang Yuno: "There is a high degree of suspicion. The croupier participated in the gambling game between the Baron and Zheng Fushang, and it was also the croupier's idea to imprison the slaves yesterday. Every time something happens, the croupier seems to be involved. It is hard not to be suspicious."
"Yes, that makes a lot of sense."
The captain pondered for a moment, stroking his beard: "A baron's status is too high to be easily imprisoned. The croupier, however, can be locked up for now. Men, throw the croupier into the dungeon!"
aestivation:"......"
Xia Mian: "Master Qing Tang, I... I'm innocent!"
[Haha, you got tricked by the slaves yesterday, and now you've been tricked again, haven't you?]
Nono is amazing!
I have a feeling that Zhang Yuno is targeting Xia Mian. Yesterday he refused to be his dance partner, and today he sent him to jail.
Why don't you mention that Xia Mian was targeting Qian Qian? Didn't Xia Mian send Qian Qian to jail yesterday?
No matter how Xia Mian pleaded for justice, she was still dragged into prison by the sailors.
Of course, the production team wouldn't actually send the guests to prison. The so-called "prison" was just a small room on the lower level of the ship's cabin, guarded by two extras who looked like prison guards.
When Xia Mian entered, Qian Qian was lying on the bed eating grapes. Upon seeing him, he gloated, "Oh, you're in too, sexy dealer."
"Did you find anything?" Xia Mian asked, a little annoyed.
“No,” Qian Qian pointed to his cameraman and the two prison guards, “they’re tight-lipped and won’t say anything. What should we do?”
Xia Mian didn't answer him. Instead, she stood up and strolled around the doorway, stretching her shoulders like an old man going out for his morning exercise.
Then, seizing the opportunity, he suddenly grabbed Qianqian.
"What's wrong?" Qian Qian asked, bewildered.
"prison Break!"
Xia Mian grabbed Qian Qian and ran wildly towards the stairs, bypassing the jailer. The jailer, not expecting the guest to do something like this, glanced at the camera and wondered whether he should give chase.
In the few seconds they hesitated, Xia Mian had already dragged Qian Qian to the first floor.
Then, with a "snap," the door leading from the first floor to the basement was locked.
The director signaled the extras to give chase, but it was too late; they were faced with a locked door. The director had no choice but to call the props department to open the door.
Five minutes later, the door was unlocked, and when the jailer ran out again, the two men had somehow found two sets of sailor's clothes and were strolling around the fore deck in their naval uniforms.
The jailer went to arrest her, and Xia Mian immediately put on a tantrum: "What are you doing? What are you doing?!"
Jailer: "Arrest the prisoner."
Xia Mian: "Your prisoners are slaves and dealers. Look carefully, we are not. We are sailors."
Jailer: "...But you guys look..."
Xia Mian: "We just look like them, don't you dare slander good people!"
The jailer had no choice but to ask the director for help again.
The director was speechless. Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let them be. It'll be more lively with more people."
The jailer breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the prison with a weary expression—ah, finding work is so hard!
[Hilarious! Is this even possible?!]
[I didn't realize Xia Mian was such a hidden comedian!]
[It turns out that Xia Mian tricked Qian Qian into going to jail so that he could gather information; she had wronged Xia Mian.]
[Suddenly I remembered that the first time I returned to my room after dark, Xia Mian and Qian Qian were chirping outside. I thought they were just chatting, but I didn't expect they were actually devising a strategy.]
From this perspective, Zhang Yuno is a bit... something else.
[Maybe Nono and Xia Mian have secretly devised a strategy too?]
Yes, during the first night, Qian Qian volunteered to go undercover, which would definitely make the show more interesting. Xia Mian then came up with a reason to get him into prison and promised to find a way to get him out.
Now he has fulfilled his promise. The two of them are "reborn" under the guise of sailors. After dealing with the jailers, they return to the common area on the first floor of the ship with an air of utter indifference.
Because his steps were so arrogant and unapproachable that he blocked the way, he was stopped by two young laborers who were carrying boxes: "Where are you from? Make way, make way."
"On the second deck," the two quickly stepped aside, Qian Qian sensing a hint of a plot twist, "What are you carrying?"
"A gift from King Parra to the Baron."
Para Kingdom... Xia Mian felt like she had heard this name somewhere before.
That's right! Xia Mian remembered, the photo in the second-floor corridor!
"Baron...do you know the princess of Para Kingdom?" Xia Mian grabbed the sailor.
"Didn't you know that when the princess sailed to San Francisco, it was the Baron who escorted her with his guards? Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Baron has grown old, but the princess remains forever in her most beautiful moments."
Qian Qian: "What do you mean? The princess has passed away?"
"Alas, they were murdered after disembarking."
Qian Qian and Xia Mian exchanged a glance: There's a clue!
The two men wanted to ask more about the details of the princess's murder, but the sailor impatiently replied, "We only heard about it; we don't know the details. We only know that the princess disappeared as soon as she disembarked, never to be seen again, dead or alive. The baron led a salvage team that searched tirelessly for a week and finally collected all of the princess's body parts. Sigh... Alright, get out of here. Don't hold us back from our work. If you're bored, you can go inside and attend the banquet."
They looked into the cabin and saw the passengers gathered together, chatting and raising their glasses, creating a lively atmosphere.
After saying that, the servant hurriedly left with the box. Xia Mian stood there, feeling as if she had touched something, but it was shrouded in a mist and not clear enough.
He thought for a moment, then walked towards the banquet hall. Qian Qian called out to him, "Xia, where are you going?"
"I'm hungry, let's eat something."
