The module "Port City Adventures" was customized for Jiang Feng by the Tiangong Design Department.
Gao Fei couldn't make Jiang Feng read the file again just to satisfy his curiosity.
"Why are you hesitating? Of course you have to open the lock!"
Comrade Xiao Jiang's firm support came from the Xinglai chat channel.
"When you play games, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. The most important thing is to satisfy your desire for exploration and don't leave any regrets!"
"If you fail to open the lock, you will lose some rewards for passing the level at most. Anyway, there is no particularly good NPC profession in this chapter, and we are not short of a reward specialty. But if we miss the hidden plot, won't this game be in vain?!"
After hearing what he said, Gao Fei felt relieved.
Put aside the distracting thoughts of gains and losses and get started!
Facts have proved that Gao Fei's luck is not too bad.
The 2.25% chance of failure did not happen to him.
After successfully breaking the door lock, Gao Fei opened the door and entered the house. He immediately removed the alarm and breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the bugbear's residence, this room is surprisingly neat.
The bed and table, as well as the inkwell, quill pen, red wine and goblet on the table, all look like human utensils.
Gao Fei searched the house and found nothing valuable, only an open letter under the pillow.
This letter was written by the "boss" of the Blood Anchor Gang to "Black Hand" Cody, and the content was very simple, instructing Cody to assassinate Gilbert Bagham, the former police chief of Marina City.
Gao Fei compared the time when the letter was signed, and then recalled the time when the heroine played by Jiang Feng sneaked into Bagham's mansion to steal, and he suddenly became enlightened!
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, do you still remember the blame you took last time?"
Gao Fei said to his girlfriend through the astrolabe.
"On the same night that you stole things from Bagum's house, this corrupt official was assassinated. Afterwards, the crime of the murderer was pinned on you."
“In fact, the person who assassinated Bagham that night was ‘Blackhand’ Cody, the assassination captain of the Blood Anchor Gang, and the person who ordered him to assassinate was the mysterious boss.”
"Great! Every wrong has its owner, and now I know who to settle the score with!" Jiang Feng gritted his teeth, "By the way, was it just a coincidence that Cody chose to assassinate that night, or did he know in advance that I was going to Bagham's house...
...Hmm, robbing the rich to give to the poor, using me to distract the guards, and then blaming me?"
"The assassination time was designated by the boss. Cody was just the executioner. He probably didn't know that you happened to be at Bagum's house that night."
Gao Fei pondered and added: "If this is a premeditation, the person who set up a trap to harm you is more likely to be the mysterious boss. Did you disclose this matter to others before you acted?"
"Obviously not!" Jiang Feng shook his head blankly, "How did the boss know that I was going to Bagum's house... What about financial management?"
"When you left Lucas's house that night and dressed up for the night walk, you might have been recognized by the guests at the banquet."
Gao Fei guessed.
"So, the boss of the Blood Anchor Gang also attended the banquet that night? This is outrageous. Is this gang boss' public identity in the city a certain socialite?!"
The more Jiang Feng thought about it, the more he felt shuddering.
"That night, there were at least thirty or forty socialites attending the banquet at Lucas's house. I will have time to investigate them one by one later. Now I have to hurry up and rescue the hostages."
Gao Fei turned off the call, thought for a moment, put the letter back under his pillow, and restored everything in the house, including the door lock, alarm and poison needle trap.
Hopefully, when "Black Hand" Cody comes back, he won't find that anyone has entered his room.
After leaving Cody's room, Gao Fei walked forward not far and saw a stone staircase extending downwards.
Gizzards
He investigated first and confirmed that there were no traps on the stairs. He first recharged himself with the "Invisibility Technique", then recharged the bullet that had exhausted his magic power with the "Silence Technique" for the second time, and walked down the stone stairs to avoid making footsteps.
Voice.
At the end of the stairs, there is an iron gate.
Gao Fei hid by the door and watched through the fence.
Opposite the fence is a rather spacious underground hall.
In the northwest corner of the hall, there is a small closed door.
Open the small door and you can enter the cell where William Gordon is held.
On the walls of the underground hall, there were whips and soldering irons hanging, as well as many torture instruments that Gao Fei could not recognize. They were rusty and exuded the fishy smell of blood.
It can be seen that this hall is the execution chamber of gangsters.
I don't know how many unlucky people have suffered physical and flesh pain here.
The hall was empty, not a soul could be seen.
In the center of the hall stands a smooth stalactite column with a light blue surface.
The stone pillar is thick at the bottom and thin at the top. It is conical in shape as a whole, about 3 meters high, and the top almost touches the ceiling.
There are a total of seven irregularly distributed caves on the stone pillars. It is unclear whether they are naturally formed or artificially dug.
The cave at the top was used as an alcove, and a lantern was placed in it.
The leather lampshade flips up.
The crystal clear glass lamp wall emits bright light, passing through the stalactite hole and forming a circle of conical light pillars, which is projected on the cell door.
This beam of light reminded Gao Fei of an old game called "Suicide Squad."
The protagonist of the game wants to sneak into a military base to cause destruction. The two most troublesome things are to avoid police dogs and searchlights.
Once illuminated by a searchlight, an alarm will be triggered immediately, attracting a large number of enemy troops to pursue them.
The lantern in the stalactite cave looks like a simple version of a searchlight.
If Goofy wants to open the cell, he will be exposed to the light, and there may be no good things to eat next.
Goofy opened the astrolabe and investigated the lantern.
The distance is too far to provide complete identification information.
But one thing is certain, there are magic fluctuations on the lantern, either it is blessed with a "magic alarm", or it is a magic device itself.
It would be too reckless to just walk directly into the light.
The correct approach is to first use the "Mage's Hand" to disarm the possible magic alarm on the lantern, lift it out of the stalactite cave, lower the shading lampshade, and then pry open the cell door.
With this thought in mind, Gao Fei first opened the iron gate and was about to walk into the execution hall, but stopped again when a question arose in his mind.
Under normal circumstances, the cells where important hostages are held should be the most heavily guarded. Why is there no one in the hall?
A reasonable explanation is that the guards in the cell have been transferred to patrol the outside of the lair. The "boss" does not think that anyone can sneak through the many obstacles and sneak here, so there is no security force outside the cell door.
From a player's perspective, this makes sense.
However, Gao Fei still felt that something was wrong.
