Chapter 119: Poaching
Yin Chengjue had not searched the villa master's room very thoroughly before. Or perhaps, he thought he had searched carefully enough, until he saw Rong Yu's search method and understood what it meant to search every inch of the place.
Rong Yu directly dove under the bed, quickly pulled out the carpet, lifted it up, inspected the area swiftly, then put the carpet back in place. He then went to fiddle with the vase decorations nearby, turning them over and shaking them.
He didn't even let go of the trash can placed by the door.
He truly embodied the term "jumping and leaping up and down."
[上蹿下跳 (shàng cuān xià tiào): lit. to jump and leap up and down; fig. to busily and conspicuously engage in scheming or lobbying for a personal goal.]
Yin Chengjue watched in amazement.
"Found it!"
Rong Yu finally removed a row of books from one of the bookshelves and saw the blue box hidden behind the bookshelf.
Because it was on the top row of books, even a tall man would have to tiptoe or stand on a chair to see it. So when everyone was searching for evidence, they just took a few books down and put them back, only seeing the books but missing the things hidden behind the bookshelf.
Just as Rong Yu took down the box, Lei Miao pushed the door open, a wide grin on his face. "Well, well, what kind of adult activities are you two locking yourselves in here for? Share some with me."
Rong Yu's expression changed: "How did you..."
Lei Miao waved the iron wire in his hand.
Yin Chengjue stepped in front of Rong Yu, glanced behind Lei Miao, and said, "Since we're doing adult activities, two people are enough. I don't have any strange hobbies. Could it be that Lawyer Lei is into this?"
Lei Miao: "...No matter what, I am your stepbrother, don't be so distant. Share any good clues with me too."
"Can't say that. My brother and I share a bond thicker than water." Rong Yu held the box in his hands and stepped to the side, just about to open it when Lei Miao suddenly moved. He grabbed a chair nearby, blocked Yin Chengjue with it, and rushed towards Rong Yu!
He clearly wanted to snatch the box! To stop them from completing the task early!
Yin Chengjue was blocked by the chair for a moment, was a step slow, and his hand that tried to grab Lei Miao's clothes caught empty air!
Luckily, Rong Yu had great reflexes. Seeing Lei Miao charge over, he immediately hugged the blue box, jumped onto the table, gave a strong push-off, and leaped onto the bookshelf he had just emptied the top row of!
Lei Miao: !!!
Are you a monkey?!
Taking advantage of Lei Miao's shock, Rong Yu jumped straight down from the bookshelf. This height was enough for him to leap over Lei Miao, who had chased right under the bookshelf.
Yin Chengjue's heart jumped fiercely, afraid Rong Yu would fall.
Fortunately, Rong Yu tucked and rolled upon landing, dissipating the impact force. He sprang swiftly to his feet and dashed out of the room, clutching the blue box.
"Stop!" Lei Miao tried to pursue, but Yin Chengjue shoved the chair into his path, obstructing him. As Yin Chengjue followed Rong Yu out, he pulled the door shut behind him!
"Bang!" The door blocked Lei Miao, who was a step slow again. He could only open the door angrily, but the two outside had already disappeared without a trace in the hallway.
However, before Rong Yu could run downstairs, he saw Liu Qingling blocking the stairway.
Liu Qingling waved to Rong Yu: "Xiao Yu, come quickly! Run this way! I just saw the escape route players testing escape methods! They've already figured out two people's! Only one person left! Let's go stop them!"
Although Rong Yu was running urgently, he remained wary. Hearing this, he asked, "Testing methods? What methods?"
"Didn't we analyze it earlier? The escape route isn't about escaping with keys. Because we are all dead souls now, we are trapped here by our resentment. To leave this place, we must resolve our resentment." Liu Qingling said: "Just now, I saw Lei Miao resolve his own resentment, and then he found Wei Lu's resentment trigger and helped her resolve it too. Now only Ling Ting, the escape route player, hasn't had her resentment trigger found yet."
Rong Yu: "Resentment trigger? The real killer who murdered us is our resentment trigger, right? Only by finding out who killed us can we be liberated and reborn?"
Liu Qingling said: "Exactly! The one who killed Lei Miao is the illegitimate son, Guan. The illegitimate son, Guan, also killed the adopted daughter, Wei (Wei Lu), because she witnessed him killing Lei Miao and tried to blackmail him, but was killed by the illegitimate son, Guan, to silence her."
"However, the cousin, Wei (Wei Shu), had always admired the adopted daughter, Wei. So after discovering her disappearance, he investigated the clues and found evidence on the computer in the servant Yang's room, learning that the woman he loved was killed by the illegitimate son, Guan. To seek revenge, he plotted to kill the illegitimate son, Guan."
While recounting this to Rong Yu in detail, Liu Qingling led Rong Yu towards the kitchen, saying: "Besides that, I killed the servant Yang, so I am the resentment trigger for the servant Yang. The illegitimate daughter, Ling, had previously schemed to kill Brother Yin. This clue we just found. The cousin, Wei, died for love, because the adopted daughter, Wei died, he didn't want to live alone."
"So up to now, only you, me, and Ling Ting temporarily haven't found out who killed us." Liu Qingling said.
