There was one person missing at the table, and it seemed that he was the son of the owner of the manor.
The scene suddenly became a little unpleasant. Mr. Guo, who had a gentle smile just now, was now filled with dark clouds, and his rich Chinese face became extremely serious and vaguely scary.
The few players knew each other and didn't say anything, but they all had their own thoughts.
Since there is a "young master", the owner of the manor, Mr. Guo, must not be single, but until now, he is the only one who has appeared as a master, and Mr. Guo's son seems to have had a conflict with him, so much so that he even appeared in front of strangers.
Don't give the other party any face.
And according to the schedule of some anime, characters who don’t appear for some reason are very problematic!
As a result, the script in everyone's minds has now fast-forwarded from "a bloody family ethics drama" to the focus of "the deceased was the son of the owner of the villa".
Next, wait for a certain maid to scream like a crime scene.
"Sorry, my son is a bit introverted. He is probably embarrassed because there are too many people."
After Mr. Guo had a sullen expression for a while, then he probably realized that there were still guests, so he quickly put on a humble and polite smile, and said apologetically: "Don't worry about him, let's eat first."
Several people smiled politely, and after the owner of the villa moved his chopsticks first, they all picked up the tableware.
The atmosphere in this villa seemed a bit solemn. Before dinner, even though many servants had just passed by, they all disappeared now, and there was only the gentle sound of dishes and chopsticks on the dining table.
The owner of the manor stopped talking. Although he still had a slight smile on his face, his too strict posture made it difficult for people to speak. What's more, the contrast in his emotions just now was really big.
Zhan Qian originally wanted to take the opportunity to make some excuses, but she couldn't find any chance at this meeting.
This Mr. Guo is very weird.
If a case really happens in this script, then he must be highly suspicious.
Several people at the dinner table had different thoughts, but no one spoke.
For a moment, the entire restaurant felt inexplicably depressed.
"Butler, please ask the kitchen to prepare another meal and send it to him." After eating a few bites, Mr. Guo probably still loved his son very much, so he suddenly turned to the old housekeeper and gave him a gentle order.
"OK."
The old butler who was waiting on the side nodded, turned around and walked to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Zhan Qian felt that an opportunity had come, but when she was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from the opposite side: "Has Mr. Guo always lived in this manor? I often come to this mountain to sketch recently, but I rarely see anyone.
I've been down here before, but I never knew there was a villa in the mountains."
She looked over with raised eyebrows and saw that the girl who asked the question was the sketch artist.
Damn it, I was robbed of my lines!
Mr. Guo seemed a little stunned by the girl's sudden question, and then smiled gently and said: "Yes, my wife and I built this villa a long time ago, but she has passed away. She liked it here, so I stayed here."
Hearing this, the girl showed a faint smile on her indifferent face: "Then you must be a very affectionate person."
Mr. Guo smiled and said no more.
…
At this moment, Xu Shuo had just finished eating the food in his bowl. When he saw the old housekeeper walking towards him, he also put away his frivolous posture of leaning against the door frame.
The butler walked into the kitchen and didn't pay much attention to the empty bowl in his hand. He just whispered: "Cook another meal for the young master."
After he finished speaking, he didn't say anything anymore. It seemed like this kind of thing happened often.
Xu Shuo nodded calmly: "Okay."
The butler calmly turned around and left.
Looking at his back, Xu Shuo waited for a while, but did not wait for the thoughtful prompt from the system, so he directly put the remaining food in the pot, placed it on the dining car with a decorated appearance, and pushed it out.
There shouldn't be anyone here to check whether the young master is eating leftovers or leftovers, right? No?
When Xu Shuo walked out of the kitchen, several players in the restaurant quietly cast their eyes over him and watched him take the elevator to the second floor.
This villa is very luxurious and has many rooms. Xu Shuo pushed the dining cart and walked directly to the corridor on the left. The occultist lady lived in the first room in the second corridor on the left corner. The place was close to the master bedroom, and next to the master bedroom was a half
Covered study room.
After Xu Shuo looked at the doors, he came to the room at the far end of the corridor.
"Knock knock knock..."
He knocked on the door and waited for a while, but there was no response.
Xu Shuo knocked again, this time with more force.
After a while, a low hoarse male voice came from inside: "If you don't want to eat it, take it away."
When Xu Shuo heard this, he subconsciously wanted to enter the scene and say something to comfort the young master. However, at this moment, a scream that sounded like a crime scene suddenly came from downstairs.
"ah--!"
The panicked screams with a hint of fear clearly told everyone what had happened.
Immediately afterwards, there was a noisy sound of seats being pushed and pulled, and with the old butler yelling "Sir" at the top of his lungs, it seemed that the place below suddenly became chaotic.
Xu Shuo paused and was about to go out to see the situation when the door in front of him suddenly opened with a "click".
A young man with a thin body, slightly pale skin, half-long hair tied into a braid at the back, and exuding the aura of a decadent young man walked out. He frowned, pursed his lips, and looked very dissatisfied.
Look.
"What's wrong?" the young man asked, his voice a little low and hoarse.
"I don't know." Xu Shuo shook his head, looked at the corridor outside and said, "Sir, something seems to have happened."
After the words fell, the young man was startled, then quickly turned around and ran out, with Xu Shuo naturally following closely behind.
He knows better than anyone what exactly happened.
…
Crime scene, dining table.
The deceased, Mr. Guo.
Screamer, painter lady.
Mr. Guo, who had been smiling and talking to him just now, suddenly spit out hot blood and spread it all over the dining table. The painter girl immediately screamed out.
The old housekeeper rushed forward and seemed to be trying to give first aid to his master. However, before a while, Mr. Guo's head tilted and he died on the spot.
Suddenly, the personable and gentle gentleman just now felt completely cold.
The five people sitting at the table had wooden faces.
Qin Xiaohe looked at the photographer next to him cutely and asked in a low voice: "Have you started...?"
The photographer nodded blankly: "Probably."
The dead have all appeared, and the plot should have started to unfold.
The old housekeeper fell on Mr. Guo in grief. At this time, a thin young man quickly ran down the stairs.
He looked at the blood stains on the dining table, then looked at the silent man on the ground, with a look of disbelief on his face, and then suddenly knelt down, his eyes vacant, and his whole person looked like he was unconscious.
Zhan Qian quickly looked at the people present, then stepped forward and said: "Butler, is there a doctor in the manor? Let him come over and take a look immediately!"
After the words fell, the grieving old butler seemed to have finally come to his senses. He looked at the distinguished guests invited by Mr. Guo and said with a wry smile: "Although Mr. Guo has a hired private doctor, he does not live in the manor."
Unless there are special circumstances, the doctor will only come for a regular check-up once a week. It is dark and raining heavily outside now, so it is not realistic to ask the doctor to come over.
"This..." Zhan Qian suddenly felt embarrassed, and then said: "Then see if there is anyone here who knows something about medicine. Let him come over and show your husband a look. We have to figure out what happened."
"Okay." The old housekeeper wiped his tears and quickly stood up to summon the servants.
After the housekeeper temporarily left, the only outsider left at the scene was the young man kneeling next to Mr. Guo with a confused look on his face.
This is simply a natural stock-taking time!
Zhan Qian glanced at the young man who was completely unresponsive, then quietly waved and called several players to come forward.
Xu Shuo, who was standing at the back, raised his eyebrows and walked a few steps faster, intending to listen carefully to what this group of people was going to do and whether they would immediately identify him.
As a result, Zhan Qian faced several scripts to kill Xiaobai, and the first sentence she said was: "In tutorials for newbies, it is rare that the player is the murderer. After all, this is not conducive to the immersion of newbies. We can start with the story of the deceased.
People start investigating, so things can go faster."
Several other people heard this and didn't know how serious it was, so they nodded in agreement.
