Chapter 4 The Incident?
When Brother Jue heard what Dennis said, his mind immediately opened up. Combining the conversations and demeanor of the three NPCs just now, he instantly thought of seventeen or eight hypotheses for the murder...
"Not to mention which wife you were born to, judging from your age, your father must be in his sixties or seventies, but your stepmother is quite young..." Feng Bujue thought to himself, " That 'Dr. Powell' is the family doctor here... It seems that your father is not in good health. I have only been in the house for five minutes, and the foreshadowing of this secret room murder and inheritance dispute has already been thrown in my face. Housekeepers, gardeners, maids...are they either potential suspects or witnesses..."
"Master, the guest room is ready." At this time, a sturdy red-haired aunt came to the foyer. While speaking to Dennis, she also nodded to the other two ladies.
"Mr. Feng, I think you must be exhausted. Why not follow Oliver to the guest room first." Dennis said, "The guest rooms here are all equipped with bathrooms. You can take a bath and take a rest. If you think of your family's contact information , or if you have any other requests, you can ask Henderson for help. Just treat it as if you were at home. No need to be polite." He paused and said, "I have some trivial matters to deal with and I can't accompany you..."
"What the hell, I'm the one causing the trouble." Feng Bujue quickly answered, "Thank you for everything you have done for me."
After a few words of greeting, Feng Bujue said goodbye to the three hosts and followed the maid into the corridor on the first floor. Not long after, they arrived at a guest room on the west side of the villa.
Aunt Oliver brought the people there and then went to work elsewhere.
Feng Bujue had always been alert. After closing the door, the first thing he did was to search the entire guest room. After confirming the safety of the area, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his back to Lie on your back on the soft big bed.
"Huh... I can finally take a breath." He muttered softly.
For Feng Bujue, he pretended to be polite, humble and polite. It's not difficult, it's just tiring...
"Okay, let's take a look at the missions first." He immediately opened the game menu to check.
[Search and arrive at the Lovecraft family's mansion in the valley] This item has been checked off, and the next task is: [Stay in the villa and wait for the case to happen]
"Well... what a good mission." Feng Bujue said with a smile, "In other words, you don't have to do anything."
He rested for about half an hour, lying on the bed and sorting out the known information. Then he sat up, looked at the clean clothes on the table and said, "Speaking of...how should I change clothes..." This is indeed It's a difficult question. The game doesn't allow him to take off his clothes.
"Can I just use the excuse 'because I was too tired, I fell asleep on the bed and fell asleep immediately, so I didn't take a shower?'..." Even Feng Bujue felt that this reason was as far-fetched as "mild concussion".
He thought for a while and then said in deep thought: "Well... the outer suit can be taken off, but the trousers and shirt cannot... Otherwise I will take off my jacket, roll up the trousers, clean them with a little water, and then put them on This clean coat." This method seems more reliable than the previous one.
Thinking of this, he reached for the clean suit. Unexpectedly, a system prompt was triggered: [Consuming this item can reset your appearance status]
Accompanied by voice. A window popped up in front of his eyes, which said [Consume immediately? 】
"Hey~ Is this the legendary one-click costume change?" Feng Bujue hesitated for a few seconds before selecting [Yes].
In an instant, white light appeared. His whole person took on a new look. Not only was his clothes replaced by a clean suit and trousers, but the stains on his skin and the odor of sweat on his body also disappeared. And the dirty clothes he was wearing appeared on the table. Neatly folded.
"It's really convenient..." Feng Bujue said, "So... what should we do now... go and watch the third aunt take a bath..."
beep beep beep——
The sound of a car horn interrupted his thoughts.
As soon as there was a sound, Feng Bujue walked to the window in three steps and two steps at a time. He opened the curtains slightly with his hands and looked outside following the sound.
The guest room he was in could look sideways at the main entrance of the villa. At this moment, an off-road jeep was seen driving up to the villa, and a man in a black leather jacket got out of the car.
This man is about 1.8 meters tall and in his early thirties. He has blond hair, smokes a cigarette, has his hair permed, and wears a pair of sunglasses. He looks like a speedster, but he does not ride a motorcycle.
"Haha! Henderson! How are you, old man?" As soon as this man saw the old butler, he came forward and gave him a bear hug.
"Haha...Master Jack, welcome back." Henderson greeted with a smile.
Jack was so straightforward that he didn't even take out the car keys. He just threw a travel bag on his shoulder from the back seat of the jeep and ran to the house.
"This guy is Dennis's younger brother..." Feng Bujue thought to himself, "Looking at his age, this guy is definitely not Odetta's child... I don't know if he and Dennis are brothers or half-brothers." He left. He closed the window, sat back on the bed, and thought: "Speaking of which... the current third wife does not look more than thirty-five years old. No matter how you calculate it, there should be a thirty-year age difference between her and the master of this family. Or so. Unless she married into the Lovecraft family ten years ago, it is basically impossible to have children..."
boom--
Suddenly, without warning, a fairly obvious gunshot sounded, which sounded like it was coming from somewhere on the second floor.
"Well...are you going to do it now? Very good." Feng Bujue's reaction after hearing the gunshot was also different from that of a normal person...
He sighed first, then stood up and stretched, then he walked out of the room calmly and walked towards the place where the sound came from.
When I was in school, whenever I heard the radio call "Feng Bujue, please report to the principal's office (or the teaching department) immediately", Brother Jue would react in this way. It felt like...I knew something terrible was about to happen or had already happened, but I would still handle it calmly.
When Feng Bujue walked through the corridor to the stairs, he happened to meet the butler Henderson who ran in from the main door. The old man heard the gunshot outside the house and ran back in a hurry.
"It seems to be on the second floor." Feng Bujue raised his hand calmly and pointed upwards, saying to Henderson, "It came from that direction."
"Oh! God!" Henderson exclaimed, "It's the master's room!" As he spoke, he ran up the stairs.
Jue Ge did not see anything unreasonable or unusual in the other party's behavior. So, he followed Henderson quietly and ran to the second floor together. (To be continued...)
