TISHW 117




 Chapter 117 The Murderous House Case 6

Jiang Yu was a little stunned when she stood on the footboard. When she came up, Qin Shiyu gave up the position on the outer side of the footboard. She thought he planned to send her to the opposite side first before using this position.

But he planned to go there first, so why do this?

Before Jiang Yu could figure it out, Qin Shiyu was already standing on the outside of the footboard, ready to jump to the opposite side.

The next horizontal wooden footboard was visually two meters away in a straight line. There was a stick that could be grasped at the upper position. The wooden stick must first be grabbed before the body could step on the footboard.

Jiang Yu glanced at it and asked, "What to do?"

Qin Shiyu said, "Just stand and don't fall. You'll know later." 

After saying that, he pushed his feet hard. Before anyone could react, he had already grabbed the footboard on the opposite side. It seemed quite easy.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Jian Cang said, "It seems possible?"

Xiang Chen spoke, "You said seems. What’s more, this is the simplest first step."

Immediately afterwards, the group exclaimed. It turned out that after Qin Shiyu grasped the footboard firmly, he stretched out his hand toward Jiang Yu, "Come here."

Jiang Yu was frightened by the sight, fearing that she would fall, "One hand is fine? I can hold onto your legs to get over."

Qin Shiyu said, "You need to save your strength first as it will be of great use in the end."

Seeing that he seemed confident and knowing that the more she delayed, the more Qin Shiyu would use up his energy, Jiang Yu decisively held his hand and kicked hard with her feet.

The grasp on her wrist was full of security. He not only grabbed her, but also swung her upward. Jiang Yu could almost easily reach the stick. Then she aimed her body in the direction of the crossbar, preparing to land on the footboards.

"Don’t worry, just land. Even if you fail, I’m here." Qin Shiyu stated.

His words made Jiang Yu relax a lot. Qin Shiyu's strength just now made her trust him.

Fortunately, the landing was successful. She landed accurately on the crossbar. The crossbar was as wide as the sole of her foot. After Jiang Yu stepped on it, she stood on the innermost side and leaned over to pull Qin Shiyu up.

He exerted force with his other hand. Jiang Yu didn't even feel the weight when she pulled him up. It was just that the footboard was only one and a half as long as Jiang Yu's foot. So it was a bit crowded for the two of them standing together. Qin Shiyu stepped up with one foot and quickly grabbed the edge of the inclined board with his hand and just happened to wrap Jiang Yu in his embrace. Jiang Yu was instantly surrounded by a masculine aura, which had a strong presence.

In fact, except for the inevitable contact between the arm at the waist, Qin Shiyu only stepped on with one foot and kept a certain distance from her in a very gentlemanly manner, Jiang Yu was slightly self conscious. After all, she had never been so close to a man at such a distance.

The audience reveled in delight:

【Ahhhhh, Qin Shiyu’s boyfriend power is to the max! And my Elder Sister Yu’s thin waist! 】

【Looking at this sight, Jiang Yu is so small in Qin Shiyu’s arms. So cute! 】

【I'm going crazy. Who understands! 】

【I understand! I understand! I slapped the table so excitedly that her hands are numb. 】

【Is Jiang Yu a little shy...】

【I would be shy if such a handsome guy hugged me. 】

Qin Shiyu looked down at Jiang Yu and said calmly, "Are you afraid?"

Jiang Yu was trapped by him between the guardrails at the edge of the sloping board. She was surrounded by tight protection at all four sides. There was no reason to be afraid.

Seeing her shaking her head, Qin Shiyu turned around, "Then you have to hold on tight. We will follow this rhythm from now on."

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."

The second board was a little further away, Qin Shiyu's height advantage was highlighted here. He had jumped very easily on the previous one, so this one was no problem either. The two of them followed the same pattern until they reached the fourth step.

On this footboard, Qin Shiyu's hands could no longer reach Jiang Yu, so he stretched out his leg for her.

By now, Jiang Yu had adapted to the rhythm. Although every step looked dangerous, Qin Shiyu was very steady, which made her feel that this wasn't a problem at all for him.

Skillfully grasping his calf, she stared closely at the position where she was holding the stick, preparing to swing hard. The stick she was using to borrow strength was a bit far away at this step.

However, Qin Shiyu said, "Just hold on to my legs. I'll swing you up in a moment."

Jiang Yu was surprised, "You want to swing me up with your leg?"

He currently only had his two hands holding onto the crossbar on the opposite side. It wasn't easy to use his leg to get her up to the height where she could hold the bar.

Qin Shiyu said, "Try it. If you feel unsure, don't let go. At most, we’ll think of other ways."

Jiang Yu had no other good ideas at the moment, so she nodded and focused on the grip above, deciding to give it a try even though it was a little risky. If not, failing once would consume too much of Qin Shiyu's physical strength.

Seeing that she was ready, Qin Shiyu exerted force on his arms and waist at the same time. Jiang Yu felt that her whole body was lifted up by his legs. With the rapid inertia, she actually reached the height to hold the pole and could even hold it easily.

"Ahhhhh!!!" Shu Hua screamed so hard that her voice almost broke, "Heaven, heaven, Elder Brother Shi Yu, you are so handsome!"

"Fudge, fudge!!" Jian Cang folded his arms and stamped his feet, "Elder Brother, you are so scary! What kind of waist is that?"

Even Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen exclaimed and applauded, not to mention the audience:

【Ahhhhhh ah, turning into a groundhog isn't enough to express my heartbeat. 】

【Jian Darling asked what kind of waist? Stunningly good waist! 】

【Heaven, his core strength is too strong. In the end, his legs were almost parallel to his body. 】

【Don’t forget, he not only balanced himself, he also swung someone up! 】

【Did anyone notice the stretched muscle lines on his arms? Ahhhhh! ! ! So beautiful and sexy! 】

【I saw it. And the waist! ! It's thin and powerful. I wish it’s live broadcast again and can watch this scene eight hundred times over. 】

【That moment of hormonal charm! Ahh, I'm going to die. 】

Although Jiang Yu didn't see what was going on, she heard Shu Hua and the others' exclamations and knew that Qin Shiyu's operation was brilliant. However, at this time, she couldn't care about anything and concentrated on letting herself land on the crossbar and step firmly on it. Then she leaned over and pulled Qin Shiyu up.

This time she heard his slight gasp and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Qin Shiyu stared at the last and farthest horizontal beam. His chest rose and fell slightly, "Take a rest."

When Jiang Yu heard this, she turned sideways and made some space at her feet so that Qin Shiyu could stand further in and relax more.

Qin Shiyu noticed her movements, glanced at her, and obligingly shuffled inside. The distance between the two became closer, as if they were lying on the same bed...

Jiang Yu looked at Qin Shiyu's red ears and asked with concern, "Can you still do it?"

Qin Shiyu quickly pushed out the random images in his mind and stared at the last horizontal beam as if nothing had happened as he drawled out, "Don't you know you can't say can’t do to a man?"

Jiang Yu was amused, "Then how are you going to do it?"

The last crossbar was the farthest away. Even if Qin Shiyu jumps with all his strength, he could get there.

Ye Yuanyu and the others were discussing at the bottom. Xiang Chen asked, "How to get over there?"

Ye Yuanyu frowned, "It's too far. There's no point to borrow strength."

Shu Hua said, "I think the program team doesn't want us to get through it. If them two can't get through, it will be even more difficult for us, right?" 

She looked at the soles of the feet, "Is there another way here?"

Jian Cang appeared confident, "I think Elder Brother Shi Yu must have a way. He is the kind of person who takes one step and looks ten steps ahead. If he didn't have a way, he wouldn't have stepped forward in the first place."

When everyone mulled over it, this was indeed the truth.

Sure enough, the two rested people quickly made a move. Qin Shiyu was seen holding Jiang Yu's waist again and turned her over.

The audience stared at Qin Shiyu’s strong arms around Jiang Yu’s waist:

【I feel something is wrong with me. Why do I unconsciously swallow my saliva? 】

【There is something wrong with me too. My brain has turned yellow. 】

【Although I had imagined countless times what it would be like for Qin Shiyu when dating, this sexual tension... My old girlish heart is about to explode. 】

……

Jiang Yu didn't know that the audience's young girls' hearts were pounding. She only knew that Qin Shiyu had no emotions, so after being self conscious at the beginning, she adjusted her mentality and imagined him as a 1.88-meter version of Shu Hua. Then it instantly became more natural.

At this time, 1.88 meters version of Shu Hua held her waist as the final decision was made, "I will throw you to that position. The inertia will be greater when you descend. You must put some strength in your hands when holding the pole. Otherwise, you will definitely slip." 

Qin Shiyu grinned, "It takes a thousand days to raise an army to use for a moment. The strength you have saved is for this one moment. Success or failure depends on this one move."

Jiang Yu nodded solemnly.

Seeing her nervousness, Qin Shiyu jollily spoke, "If you can't catch it, there's nothing that cab be done. Worst case scenario, I'll accompany you to study the antidote to poisoned people. If we work together, we should be able to study it faster, right?"

Jiang Yu was amused, "Don't be joking, all the strength will be gone due to laughing." 

Still, she felt a lot more relaxed.

She took a few more deep breaths, "Ready."

Qin Shiyu's expression became focused. He held her body, "Get ready - go!"

As his voice fell, Jiang Yu was thrown to the higher place. Amid everyone's exclamations, Jiang Yu accurately grasped the handle. The strong falling feeling in her hand almost made her let go. Fortunately, she was already mentally prepared. Gritting her teeth, she grabbed it.

"Ahhhh! Bigshot, you’re wonderful. Do your best!" Shu Hua shouted excitedly.

Ye Yuanyu said, "It turns out that the parabola principle is used."

【That's right. It’s a bit difficult to go straight, so throw high first and then drop down... 】

【Tsk, tsk, the two bigshots passed the test without discussing the principles. 】

【Above, don’t mention discussion while I’m eating up this CP, thank you. 】

【Hahahahaha, LOL. Bigshots got shared brain and had already finished the calculations. We are only responsible for shipping the CP. 】

【Qin Shiyu’s strength is great. Watching it, I feel full of security. 】

【I want to be Jiang Yu and experience the embrace of God Yu...Ahhhh, I almost faint pondering about it. 】

【Above, don’t have any wishful thinking. I want to see them hug each other for real. 】

……

【Holy sht, sht, sh*t, above, if you know how to talk, say more. A hug isn't enough. A kiss Is needed! 】

【Ahhhhhh! Has the above’s mouth been blessed? Hurry up and say more! Say you want to see a kiss, hurry up! ! 】

It turned out that while the audience was discussing, Jiang Yu and Qin Shiyu had been acting according to the plan.

Only when Jiang Yu grabbed the handle to hang herself up did she realize how much effort Qin Shiyu exerted along the way. Qin Shiyu was pulling or supporting her in all her jumps and landings. It seemed effortless. Qin Shiyu not only dragged himself but also her.

This time it was her turn to lend him strength. Shortly later, Qin Shiyu had to grab her ankle and use her ankle as a leverage point to jump to the opposite side.

Qin Shiyu knew very well the strength she needed to bear and said quickly, "Hold on, persist for three seconds."

Jiang Yu tightened her fingers, "Okay, come on!"

After she finished speaking, she felt a hold on her ankle. Her whole body was pulled downwards by the huge force. Jiang Yu focused all her attention on her hands, holding on tightly and not letting go until the weight on her ankles disappeared. When she reached her limit, her fingers slipped and she was about to fall down.

Then, amidst everyone's exclamations, Jiang Yu's arm was grabbed. Qin Shiyu instantly pulled her toward him. This time, Jiang Yu fell firmly into his arms and hugged his waist reflexively.

This thrilling and laborious jump left the two of them with no time to care about anything else. Jiang Yu leaned on Qin Shiyu's chest and gasped for air. Qin Shiyu hugged her waist. His chest rose and fell rapidly. The two of them looked like a couple. An intimate couple, or a couple who had just did something bad.

The audience collectively transformed into groundhogs:

【Ahhhhhh, I love this episode! 】

【No more, I'm going to die. Why do they look so lustful? 】

【Ahhhhhh! Kill me to cheer them on. 】

【Ahhhhh, this atmosphere is very suitable for a kiss. Above’s mouth is blessed. Come and make a wish! 】

【Hahahahaha, blessed mouth! ROFL! 】

It took a few seconds for Jiang Yu to come back to her senses. The main reason was that Qin Shiyu's heartbeat was too loud.... It was normal for the heartbeat to speed up after strenuous exercise, shouldn't they slow down after they rested for a few seconds? Why was it getting faster and faster?

Her hand exerted some strength to slightly put the distance between the two of them and looked up at him.

Qin Shiyu took his hand away from her waist, raised his head up and looked for the exit above their head, "You did a great job. We can go out soon."

Soon he pushed away a floor tile above his head. Jiang Yu's attention was attracted and she instantly forgot about this unimportant matter.

 Chapter 116 The Murderous House Case 5

【Holy sht, holy sht, what did I see?! 】

【Ahhhhhh, the paradise for CP fans is here! 】

【I bet that this episode of the couple’s meeting will definitely become a classic scene, hahahaha. 】

【LOL, when the husband isn't around, you chase the poisoned people as if you can tear off their head. Now the husband arrives, you all turn into weak little wives and need to be hugged to get better. 】

【No way, is Qin Shiyu hugging Jiang Yu?! ! ! 】

 【Huh? Yeah? I thought it was an angle problem. After all, it was switching to night vision mode and couldn't see the movement in between. 】

【It turns out I’m not the only one who saw it wrong? Now that everyone has seen it, it’s a fact! This isn't a rumor. I saw it with my own eyes! 】

【I feel like they are hugging. After all, according to logic, this is the only time in the past three seasons that God Yu has passed the level without any dawdling. If he isn't anxious to hug his wife, what is he aiming for? 】

【Good reason. It must like this. 】

 【Ahhhhhhh! ! ! ! So sweet. 】

Compared with the excitement of the audience, Jiang Yu was a little stunned. She thought it was her imagination and was pondering about whether to confirm it. The lights suddenly started to flicker. She saw the situation in front of her. Qin Shiyu was truly standing right in front of her. The distance was very close, so close that as long as her face moved half a centimeter forward, she could touch his clothes.

But before she had time to think about it, she felt an unusual movement next to her. She turned around and saw a fierce ghostly face close at hand. She screamed in fright and her body stiffened. The next second a hand covered her vision. Then she felt a slight tightening on her waist. Her whole body was turned to a different direction.

This time she clearly felt the other party's strong arms and slightly rising chest. Jiang Yu felt relieved and surprised at the same time.

The audience was more surprised than she was. This was Qin Shiyu. He had been in the show for two consecutive seasons and had no CP. It was well known that he didn't like to have physical contact with others.

But now, HE HUGGED JIANG YU!

It wasn't an imagination as everyone thought now. It was a real hug.

【Holy sht, holy sht, holy sh*t! ! This time, it’s the real deal! 】

【Truly can fan over! If I don’t eat this up, it’s asking for heaven’s wrath. 】

【He covered her eyes with his hands. Heaven, my girlish heart! I want to be in Jiang Yu's shoes for a second. 】

【Ahhhhhh, forgive my poor vocabulary, Qin Shiyu, why are you so good at flirting! 】

The lights came on again, the poisoned people retreated. The hands on Jiang Yu's eyes left. She raised her head and looked at Qin Shiyu. Qin Shiyu put down his protective arm behind her and looked down at her, "What? Scared silly?"

His tone and movements were extremely natural, which made Jiang Yu feel that she was thinking too much. Since they had mics, it was difficult to ask anything. So she could only shake her head.

Next to them, Shu Hua and the others calmed down. Xiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief. He comfortingly patted Jian Cang, who was lying in his arms, "Thank you for your hard work earlier." 

He had experienced this wave of face-to-face killing.

Shu Hua familiarly rubbed Ye Yuanyu's pained arm and asked, "What's the situation at your side? Is there anything scary?"

"The lights are bright enough," Ye Yuanyu enjoyed her massage and showed off, "Walked around the library and the medical room. In the end, we arrived at a bizarre sacrificial room. Afterward, we heard your ghost screams, followed the sound, opened the coffin lid, and found this place."

Shu Hua instantly felt injustice, "No wonder it came to that in the end. It turned out it was prepared for you."

Jian Cang took in Qin Shiyu and Ye Yuanyu’s unchanging expressions and said depressedly, "But why do I feel that we are the ones who suffer?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Afterwards, they both matched the clues. Ye Yuanyu concluded, "The great-grandfather of the Meng Family, Meng Yu, had a bad life and was called a calamity star. Worried that his childhood sweetheart Yang Meng-er would be implicated, he broke up and ruthlessly left. After that, Yang Meng-er was sold to the young master of the Chen Family for fifty taels of silver to marry to counterattack bad luck."

"Young Master Chen Family was a sadist and had been abusing Yang Meng-er. Meng Yu, who loves Yang Meng-er, probably came to the Chen Family as a doctor because he wanted to know how she was doing and found that Yang Meng-er's life was worse than death. He felt very regretful and wanted to save Yang Meng-er. During this period, Yang Meng-er became pregnant. He was happy for her as she no longer had to be abused. Unforeseen,  the Chen Family framed Yang Meng-er for having an affair with someone and wanted to immerse her in a pig cage and sink her in a pond."

Shu Hua responded, "In fact, the childlessness, jealousy and adultery recorded in the genealogy of Yang Meng-er were all false. They framed Yang Meng-er as well as the previous women in the Chen Family, all in order to make them disappear quietly so the could seamlessly become Chen Family's experimental subject. It just happened that they need a pregnant woman and set their eyes on Yang Meng-er."

"Yang Meng-er must have sensed something and wanted to drive away the girls seduced by Master Chen in the name of jealousy." She glanced at the poisoned women, "Judging from the results, the effect may not be so ideal.”

Xiang Chen said, "There are three main suspicious points now. First, why did Yang Meng-er die mysteriously in the Chen Family in advance? Did she die or had she escaped? Secondly…" 

He looked at the undying poisoned people standing in the shadows, "Why did Young Master Chen and the Old Madam Chen become experimental subjects together with their experimental subjects? Who did this?"

"Thirdly, Meng Yu bought this property after the Chen Family disappeared and transformed the property to have many secret passages according to Yang Meng-er's preferences. Does he know the secrets of the Chen Family? Does the sandalwood box that Housekeeper Meng mentioned before coming in have something to do with it? Is it related to biological experiments?”

Qin Shiyu walked toward the undying poisoned people and calmly pulled the keys from old Madam Chen and Young Master Chen, "Let's leave here and continue looking for clues."

The six people found a secret door in a cell. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary wall. Xiang Chen grinned, "The Chen Family protects this place quite tightly."

"Definitely, if it wasn't tight, these poisoned people would have escaped long ago." Jian Cang said, watching Ye Yuanyu and Qin Shiyu insert two keys at the same time. The secret door opened, revealing a passage behind which only one person could pass through.

Ye Yuanyu was in the lead, Qin Shiyu was at the rear. Jiang Yu and Shu Hua were in the middle. When they were about to leave the passage, they vaguely heard the familiar roar again.

Shu Hua was scared, "What's going on? There’s more?"

Ye Yuanyu carefully stepped out of the passage. Then smiled, "It seems extraordinarily tight."

Seeing that there was no danger, everyone walked out of the passage one after another. Then they saw the situation in front of them.

They stood on the bank of a moat. The river wasn't water, but densely packed with undying poisoned people.

Directly opposite them was a slope of about 60 degrees, which goes all the way to the ceiling. The exit was most likely there.

"Are we going to climb up from here?" Jian Cang couldn't help but ask.

The surface of the slope was polished very smooth, with only a few horizontal footboards and wooden sticks inserted on them scattered on the left and right sides to facilitate borrowing strength.

The most important thing was that there was a gap of about one meter between the bottom of the slope and the stone steps they were to step on. Below were the poisoned people roaring at them. If there was any misstep, they will slide down from there and join together with those undying poisoned people.

Jian Cang stretched out his legs and stepped on the crossbar closest to them. The roar under his feet instantly became louder. The poisoned people kept jumping around. Although they knew they couldn't reach it, it brought a lot of pressure to them. He quickly retracted his feet, turned around, and hugged Xiang Chen, "I can't. I thought just now was the most terrifying part... How can we climb up there?"

Ye Yuanyu was observing, "There is at least a distance of five meters, with a total of 1, 2, 3...6 footboards and 5 pieces of wood. Most of them are distributed on both sides." 

He turned to look at Qin Shiyu, "Can’t be climbed up?”

Qin Shiyu said, "It's more troublesome to do it alone. It requires two people to work together."

Shu Hua pricked up her ears, "Two together?"

Qin Shiyu said, "The shortest distance between the two footboards is two meters. The farthest is three meters or so. And at such an inclination angle, it was difficult for people to complete the jump. Tall boys have a height advantage. For girls, there’s definitely no way.”

"So the best way is for two people to borrow each other's strength to move forward together."

Shu Hua was scared, "What to do? I don't dare... Wuwu~~ This is too scary."

Ye Yuanyu stared at the distance between the leverage points, "It is indeed a bit difficult for two people."

Qin Shiyu picked up the nearby non-slip gloves prepared by the program team. "I'll try them first." 

He handed another pair to Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu pointed at herself, "Me?"

Qin Shiyu said, "Who do you partner with?"

When Jian Cang heard this, he said positively, "Elder Brother Shi Yu, can I team with you?"

Jiang Yu immediately took the gloves and stood next to Qin Shiyu. Putting the rest, Qin Shiyu was definitely the most secure person in terms of courage and strength.

Qin Shiyu lowered his eyes and stared at her, not knowing what he was thinking.

After putting on her gloves, Jiang Yu was a little worried, "Do you want to take off your clothes?"

Qin Shiyu covered his chest when he heard this, "What do you want to do?"

Although he acted as if he was being teased, his careful demeanor made it look like he was the one flirting.

The group laughed. Jiang Yu raised her leg as if to kick him. He clearly knew what she was talking about.

"Don't you need to use clothes to help?" Jiang Yu pointed to the vests on her body. They were wearing a T-shirt and vest two-piece set for recording the show today.

It wasn’t like Qin Shiyu had never done this kind of thing before.

In a certain episode of the first two seasons of "All Rounder", two groups of team members needed to climb over a high wall obstacle. The other group first formed a human wall to help one person go up. Then the person on top stretched out her hand to pull the person below. In Qin Shiyu’s group, he ran and jumped up the high wall. Then he took off his coat and twisted it into a rope and threw it to the team members below to use it.

Qin Shiyu said, "Better not. I don't trust you."

Jiang Yu couldn't help but widen her eyes. This was the first time she heard someone say they didn't trust her. Outrageous!

Qin Shiyu directly stepped on the nearest footboard of the slope with his long legs, then turned around and stretched out his hand toward Jiang Yu, "What if you don't catch the clothes and fall. You would leave me in the air." 

He glanced at the poisoned people roaring at their feet, "I don't want to play with them."

He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Yu again, with a somewhat incomprehensible glint in his eyes, "It's more secure to have destiny in my own hands."

Jiang Yu inexplicably felt that the tone of Qin Shiyu's words was a bit strange, as if he had made some determination.

But wasn’t Qin Shiyu a person who personally controlled his destiny?

【Ahhhhhh, what destiny? You’re talking about wife! 】

【That's right! Your own wife, you have to personally take care of your wife to feel at ease. 】

【Based on the story background of Meng Yu and Yang Meng-er, isn’t this sentence a confession? 】

 【That's what it means! Double A couple, please lock up! 】

Looking at the big hand with clear joints in front of him, Jiang Yu put her hand on it. Since Qin Shiyu didn't mind, she naturally had nothing to be reserved about.

She glanced at the crack under her feet and couldn't help but hesitate.

Qin Shiyu said warmly, "Raise your head, look at me, and swing over one leg first."

Seeing his relaxed expression, Jiang Yu took a deep breath, raised her leg, and stepped forward. She originally wanted to step over one leg to stand firm before swinging the other leg. However, when she stepped on the crossbar with one foot, a strong force was transmitted on her wrist. Before she could react, her other leg had already left the other side. Then she fell toward the inclined board under the influence of inertia. She couldn't resist closing her eyes.

However, the expected impact didn't come. Her waist was supported by someone. Her feet were firmly placed on the crossbar.

Jiang Yu opened her eyes and saw Qin Shiyu looking down at her, "Afraid?"

Jiang Yu nodded honestly.

Qin Shiyu raised his head and glanced at the sloping board, "What to do if I don't take you up and we fail?"

Jiang Yu didn't know why he suddenly said such unconfident words. She glanced at the terrifying poisoned people at her feet and took a deep breath, "If that happens, it will be my fate."

Qin Shiyu didn't expect her to answer like this. He raised his eyebrows, "I thought you believed in strength."

"Everything contains an element of luck," she raised her chin. "I have a strong say in this."

Qin Shiyu took in her proud reaction and laughed, "En, the king of unluckiness."

Jiang Yu said, "So, do your best and obey fate. Based on the facts, if you can't bring me up, who do you think can?"

No one could do it, Qin Shiyu thought to himself. He wouldn't trust anyone to hand her over to. Ye Yuanyu wasn't as good as him. Xiang Chen wasn't as good as him...

So it was only him.

Jiang Yu spoke, "If I fall, I will at most turn into a poisoned person and study the antidote. This poisoned person will have a certain amount of time to evolve. Maybe I can save a batch of people by then. Sounds pretty good."

Qin Shiyu chuckled. Yes, this was Jiang Yu. No matter what unlucky situation she finds herself in, she could always find an interesting and meaningful way to live.

Let's pretend that it was another bad luck for her to meet him... After all, he couldn't hand her over to anyone.

Jiang Yu was thinking about whether Qin Shiyu was under pressure with her and how to enlighten him. Suddenly, her waist was tightened and her whole body spun. When she realized what was going on, she was almost lying in Qin Shiyu's arms.

It turned out that he held her and changed a different direction. With a slight turn of a waist, he put her on the footrest. Qin Shiyu stared at her, "Don't worry. I won't let you become a poisoned person."

As compensation, he will definitely try his best to prevent her from being unlucky in other things.

TISHW 115ii




 "...However, these first batch of poisoned people are brainless and are a little afraid of light. The stronger the light, the less able they are to move. I want to set up the light in the dungeon and see if it can improve their shortcomings in this area through training."

"...There are a little too few experimental subjects. It seems that we need to gather a batch of people. However, this year's harvest is good and fewer people are selling their children. There are also fewer and fewer lone people nearby. The people in the yamen has recently been keeping a close eye too."

"... Yang Meng-er seems to have discovered something. If it doesn't work out, let her step up first."

Shu Hua was furious, "The Chen Family was actually doing human experiments?! And they want to use the bride as a test subject?! Was Master Chen pretending to be sick?"

"It seems so, they were abducting women." Jian Cang picked up a piece of white cloth on the ground. It was the same as the one with the skeleton in the cell now. It seemed to be torn from the skirt of her clothes. Written in red blood was words.

He spread the white cloth on the stone bed and read, "...I was wrong. I shouldn't have believe Young Master's sweet words. He doesn't love me at all. He only wanted to trick me into being an experimental subject...It turns out that Master Chen and Young Master’s concubines and maids who were accused of elopement, misbehavior, or serious illness, were all framed because the Chen Family needed experimental subjects. I became one of them."

"...Young Madam isn't a jealous woman. She must have discovered something, so she used jealousy as reasons to drive us away. She was saving us! It's a pity that I persisted in my obsession and now ended up like this."

"It hurts too much. It hurts too much. Life is worse than death. If you are the next me, run away before they do anything to you, otherwise you will become a living dead!"

"The Chen Family is very cautious about this secret place that creates poisoned people. It requires two keys at the same time to open the door to the secret passage."

"The two keys are separately kept by the Old Madam and Young Master. They will come to check on the poisoned people every once in a while and will regularly adjust the brightness of the torch to train the poisoned people. When there is only one torch left, the poisoned people's actions will be similar to normal people. You can take this opportunity to get the keys from them."

"But be careful not to be caught by poisoned people, otherwise you will easily become an undying poisoned person. The process will be more painful."

Jian Cang analyzed, "They usually purchase or capture some lone people to use as experimental subjects, when there aren't enough experimental subjects, the men of the Chen Family would falsely accuse women of indiscretions or other behaviors to make them reasonably disappear."

He looked back at the poisoned people, "These should be the experimental subjects of the Chen Family. So they hadn’t died and were hiding here. This one fell off one of the poisoned people." 

He puffed out in anger, "So evil!”

Shu Hua was angry, "There are even worse!"

She flipped through the experiment record and read the experiment process:

"No. 13 has already drank the medicine and hasn't recovered from cutting off her hand. The wound has been infested with maggots, but she isn't dead. Seems to only be feeling pain. From the looks of it, No. 14 can try a larger dose..."

"The dose has been increased on the 14th. This direction seems to increase the pain. Although it will not die, the experimental subject is in so much pain, to the point that the rope almost breaks." 

……

"... Now I want to test whether the children born by poisoned people can withstand more poisonous drugs. It so happens that Yang Meng-er is pregnant..."

Shu Hua threw down the experimental record, "Ah!!! They are so vicious!! I want to kill them!"

Jian Cang said, "The Chen Family can’t be still doing this experiment, right? That's why people around can always hear all kinds of shrill screams..."

Shu Hua asked, "Is the box that Housekeeper Meng asked us to find related to this poison? Can it be that the Meng Family is a descendant of the Chen Family?"

Jiang Yu said, "Probably not."

The two raised their heads. Jiang Yu pointed at the pile of undying poisoned people in the shadows, "Old Madam Chen and Young Master Chen seem to be there. If they are already dead and Yang Meng-er objects to this, then they shouldn’t have any descendants. Of course, this is speculation. We have to continue to look for clues.”

"What we have to do now is get the keys and leave from here."

Jian Cang and Shu Hua followed her gaze and turned their heads to see two gorgeously dressed people among a group of undying poisoned people. One was a middle-aged woman with a forehead headband. The other was exactly the young man they saw in the ceremony with the bride at the beginning. The two had a bunch of keys hanging around their waists.

Jian Cang was surprised, "The two of them had become undying poisoned people? Who served justice for heaven?"

Shu Hua scolded, "You deserve it, you scum! I want to thank that valiant person."

Jiang Yu listened to the two of them berating out one after another but didn't move. So she had to remind them, "Get the key first."

Shu Hua and Jian Cang paused at the same time.

Shu Hua watched Jian Cang, "Go ahead. They are all standing still. It should be easy."

Jian Cang said, "You got more strength. You go. If they want to attack you, you can throw them out."

Shu Hua was shocked, "You, a man, want me to face danger?"

Jian Cang immediately raised his little finger, twirled his hair, and said with a pinched voice, "Have you forgotten? I am a woman now."

Shu Hua:......

The audience burst into laughter:

【Hahahaha, there’s nothing wrong with that. Shu Hua persuaded him to become a woman. 】

【LOL, Jian Cang, this clown. Does he think it’s better to be a woman now? 】

Shu Hua laughed, "I kind of want to hit you, what to do?"

Jian Cang wanted to delay time, "How about we rescue Elder Sister Yu first?"

When she looked up, she saw Jiang Yu sitting cross-legged in the rope net, seeming to have found her balance. After shaking her body for a while, the rope net moved like a swing. It Iooked quite comfortable.

Seeing the two of them looking at her, Jiang Yu appeared sweetly obedient, "It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. You get the key first."

Jian Cang suddenly said, "Did you know about the mechanism a long time ago and deliberately didn't tell us?"

Shu Hua realized something, "You recognized Old Madam Chen and Young Master Chen at a glance and saw the keys on them from the beginning."

 【Huh? This suspicion is very reasonable. I was saying, how could Elder Sister Yu be trapped for so long? 】

【Hahaha, she wanted to reasonably evade responsibility! 】

【This isn’t trapping her, this is protecting her. 】

【Jiang Yu: Thank you Program Team for hanging me up and making me unable to get down. 】

【LOL, every time they think they are united, they are always poking at each other. 】

Of course Jiang Yu refused to admit it. She sighed, pointed to a broken rope about two meters away from her, "Probably pull this one. Can you guys get it?"

Jian Cang and Shu Hua looked up and saw a row of pulley mechanisms installed on the roof. They were used to control the rope net. One of them was broken, leaving only a short length of rope, nearly three meters above the ground. Even if Jian Cang hold Shu Hua, they may not be able to reach it.

Jiang Yu put her arm through the rope net and pretended to reach it. The distance was very far. She pretended to be fuming, "The program team is so bad. They deliberately don't let me go out. I can see it, but can't reach it."

Shu Hua expressionlessly stared at her, "If your tone isn't so relaxed, I can barely believe you."

Jiang Yu obediently leaned against the rope net and reached for the rope, pretending not to hear.

【Hahaha, Elder Sister Yu is so cute. 】

【Bad and cute at the same time, hahaha. 】

Just when Jian Cang and Shu Hua were trying to find a way to get Jiang Yu down, the torches were extinguished again. This time there was only one left. The terrifying "hehe" sound sounded again. The undying poisoned people moved and pounced toward them with agility. 

Jian Cang and Shu Hua immediately screamed and ran away:

"Ahhhhh, why would the Chen Family make such a thing!"

"It's simply sick. How many people have been harmed by this!"

Jiang Yu laid down in the rope net again in a horizontal position to avoid the jumping poisoned people below and reminded the two of them, "Get the key!"

"I don't dare!" Shu Hua screamed, trying to avoid the poisoned people who were chasing after her and ran toward the earlier cell as before. Unexpectedly, the cell doors were already closed. With nowhere to escape, she turned around and directly had a face-to-face fight with a ferocious ghostly face.

"Ah!!!" She was so frightened that her hair stood up. She closed her eyes and stretched out her hand to push. The poisoned person who was almost cheek to cheek with her was pushed back a few steps and crashed directly onto the ‘colleagues’ behind her. Everyone stumbled around from the chain reaction.

"Hey hey hey!!"

 "Careful!"

"Slow down, slow down!"

The undying poisoned people spoke one after another. The terrifying atmosphere instantly became comical.

Shu Hua:......

The audience couldn’t stop laughing:

【Hahahahaha, Princess Strength is showing off her might. 】

【LOL, to force the NPCs to speak. 】

【Why did I seem to hear a Northeastern accent now? Are the Chen Family from the Northeast? 】

【What sarcasm, hahaha...】

Shu Hua looked a little guilty when she saw them collapsing into a ball and whispered, "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

"We’re okay." The leader of the NPC said before continuing to play the role without knowing whether to change or not. Both sides stared at each other. There was a trace of awkwardness in the atmosphere.

The audience was dying of laughter. Jiang Yu found it amusing. Taking advantage of the lack of scary atmosphere, she quickly reminded her, "Grab the key! Shu Hua, the old lady in front of you is Old Madam Chen!"

Shu Hua stared at the NPC, "Huh?"

‘Old Madam Chen’ instantly turned around and ran away. Other NPCs rushed to cover her.

If she didn’t chase now, then what was she waiting for? Shu Hua started to chase them. They ran with even more energy. Shu Hua said, "Stop, give me the key!"

Although Shu Hua was very strong, she wasn’t good at running. Especially since they were very familiar with the terrain here and could move with agileness. Shu Hua was out of breath as she chased her. Fuming, she asked, "Hurry up and give me the key. You are aiding the tyrants!"

"Why do you do such a crazy sick thing?"

"Do you Chen Family have descendants? What did you do to Yang Meng-er?" As Shu Hua asked, she thought about what they had done and the fire blazed, "Ahhhhhhh!! You old witch!! If you have the ability, come here!!!”

Shu Hua's behavior gave Jian Cang a boost of courage. He chased after the poisoned Young Master Chen, "Beast, suffer death!!!"

……

So when Qin Shiyu trio opened the coffin board in the room and found the passage, they saw the lively scene below.

Shu Hua and Jian Cang drove all the terrifying NPCs running all around like crazy. Jiang Yu sat cross-legged in the rope net and leisurely swung on the swing as cosplayed as female ghost to give them an atmosphere. She solemnly hollered: "Let me down... Let me down..."

Qin Shiyu and the others:...

Xiang Chen couldn't resist laughing, "You guys are having a lot of fun."

The moment they spoke, the torches lit up again, the undying poisoned people retreated. Jiang Yu trio noticed them.

Shu Hua said excitedly, "Elder Brother, Ye Yuanyu, Xiang Chen! It's great that you are here! Waaaa, we were scared to death!"

Jian Cang jumped up and down, "Elder Brother Chen, are you here to save us?"

Xiang Chen smiled, "I don't think you need saving."

Jiang Yu looked curiously at the hole opened above her head."How are you going to get down?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a rope ladder hung down. Qin Shiyu stepped on the rope ladder and came down. When his head was exposed, he asked Jiang Yu, "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine," Jiang Yu reminded him, "Pull the rope on your right hand side!"

Qin Shiyu examined her up and down before turning his head. He saw the cut rope at a glance. He stretched out his hand and pulled. As expected, the rope net hanging Jiang Yu began to descend.

He stepped on the rope ladder and went down a few steps. When he saw that the distance was almost there, he directly jumped down. Shu Hua and Jian Cang exclaimed, "Be careful!"

Jiang Yu was startled, "Slow down, why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's fine," Qin Shiyu casually replied and stepped forward to help her untie the rope net. He directed to Shu Hua and Jian Cang, "You go and pull the rope ladder, one person on each side so they can come down easily."

The two hurriedly went to hold the rope ladder.

Jiang Yu came out of the rope net. Qin Shiyu saw that she was standing still, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yu quietly hissed through her teeth, "My legs are numb."

Amused, Qin Shiyu watched her slowly beat her legs.

At the side, Xiang Chen and Ye Yuanyu jumped off the rope ladder. Before the group could cheer and reminisce, the torches were suddenly extinguished again. This time, they were completely extinguished. It was so dark that they couldn't see their fingers.

After the battle now, Shu Hua and the others, who were no longer afraid, fell into panic again. They grabbed Ye Yuanyu and exclaimed in surprise, "Again?!!! It's too much!"

Jian Cang hugged Xiang Chen tightly and shouted, "Waa, it's so scary! Waa, Elder Brother Chen, thankfully you came!"

Jiang Yu had been hanging up there earlier and wasn't that scared. Her fear threshold was originally much lower than the two of them. Now that it was completely dark, she was even more frightened and subconsciously grabbed Qin Shiyu's clothes.

Then she remembered that Qin Shiyu didn't like physical contact and tried hard to control herself to not get too close.

However, the next second, she felt a little force coming from her back. The person in front of her seemed to take a small step toward her. She could clearly feel the temperature of the other person. It was as if she was being hugged by someone...

The barrage went wild.

Chapter 68 Birthday

The postman had been doing letter delivery rounds since young and had gotten familiar with Wu Chun Hua. In the past few days, he had become a loyal customer of their roujiamo.

While Xu Xiao Jiao was signing, Wu Chun Hua had already neatly prepared two roujiamo for him. The postman handed her the money, "I've been here for five days in a row. Your son-in-law is such a considerate person."

Every time they chatted for a few words. So he knew that the son-in-law of the family was away from home and would send his wife a letter and a package every second day. He didn't know what was in the package, but he could tell it was something for his wife.

Who could deny it? When Wu Chun Hua saw the corners of her daughter's mouth turned up, she smiled and said, "Really troubling you."

"What trouble? This is what I do. If I didn't come to your place to deliver the letter, I wouldn't be able to eat such delicious roujiamo."

Watching the postman walk away, Wu Chun Hua reached out and poked Xu Xiao Jiao, "Happy now."

Xu Xiao Jiao pursed her lips and smiled, "No."

Wu Chun Hua laughed. She stretched out her hand to touch her daughter's soft and fair cheek, "Your mouth is so stubborn. Not only are you happy, Mom is happy that Wei Ping is treating you well. My daughter is blessed."

Xu Xiao Jiao held Wu Chun Hua's arm and smiled, "Mom, do you think Song Wei Ping is stupid? It's been several days and he only knows how to send things. Don't he know how to call home."

Wu Chun Hua glared at her, "Didn’t he get scared by you? Afraid that you won't talk to him again. Just wait. From what I see, it’ll be soon fast. My daughter isn’t angry at all, right?"

Xu Xiao Jiao smiled and said, "En en, I'm not angry at all."

She returned to the room, leaned on the bedside, and carefully read the latest affectionate letter. She put the letter together with the others with curved eyes. There were already five letters in the small iron box.

Xu Xiao Jiao took out those pink postcards and looked at them again. She didn't know what Song Wei Ping was thinking. The ones he chose were all beautiful scenery and words of love. It was really hard to imagine how he picked them out one by one.

Okay, Song Wei Ping, you can call now. I will answer this time.

As Xu Xiao Jiao was thinking about it, she heard the sound of 'ding-a-ling-ring, ding-a-ling-ring' in the living room outside.

She sat up immediately, walked out quickly, held the receiver, and put it to her ear, "Hello??"

On the other end of the conversation, a familiar voice came through the radio waves, "Jiao Jiao?"

Xu Xiao Jiao's heart started beating wildly. She delicately chided, "Song Wei Ping, you’re finally willing to call home?"

Outside the door, Wu Chun Hua heard the phone call. She walked to the door, but before entering the room, she heard Xu Xiao Jiao's voice and immediately shook her head and laughed.

This girl knew how to turn the table on someone. She turned around and walked away quietly, leaving space for the young couple.

On the phone, Song Wei Ping's voice carried a slightly delighted tone. He could detect it, "Not angry?"

Xu Xiao harrumphed, sitting on the sofa and fiddling with the phone cord, "I'm still angry."

Song Wei Ping asked her gently, "Did you receive the letters I wrote to you?"

As soon as he mentioned this, Xu Xiao Jiao grinned, "Hey, Song Wei Ping, who taught you such affectionate words. It made me laugh to death."

Song Wei Ping heard her laughter and unconsciously chuckled along, "No, it's love."

So it came out naturally.

Xu Xiao Jiao gave him a pah, "You are getting sweeter and sweeter. Then when you come back, read the letter to me. Haha, I can't imagine it. How you can read such affectionate letters with your serious and expressionless face. Hahaha."

Facing Xu Xiao Jiao, Song Wei Ping was always thin-skinned. He nodded as if nothing had happened, "Okay, I'll read it to you in bed at night."

"Rogue!" Xu Xiao Jiao scolded him, somehow feeling better and better.

In a good mood, she was naturally willing to talk to Song Wei Ping for a while. After chatting for a while, she asked about business, "How are you doing over there? The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Xiao Gang is about to have summer break. Isn't it even more uncomfortable over there?"

Song Wei Ping hummed in confirmation, "It's fine. I'm a little tanned. As long as you don't dislike it, it’s all good"

Then he reported the itinerary, "We are on the right track here. I will go out in a few days to discuss the machines."

They had already agreed on these procedures. Xu Xiao Jiao wasn't worried. Thinking how he had many things to do next, she missed him a little, "Song Wei Ping, it will take a long time for you to come back."

Hearing her longing, Song Wei Ping tightened his grip on the telephone. He missed her even more.

"En, it will take at least a few months." Next, he will go to many places to inspect the machines. This was the top priority and was related to their long-term development. He had even contacted a few foreigners to prepare for comparison and inspection. If the imported machine was good value for money, he would buy it even if it was much more expensive.

The factory site was very large, but they plan to build only two workshops in the first phase. Make the profits first before expanding the rest. After the machines come in, the factory will be mostly completed. Afterward, they can’t be careless with the production. He and his partners had recently visited a lot of old craftsmen with relevant skills and planned to recruit them with high salaries. Even he spent money to visit the newly opened factories. Now he was very busy every day and he will only be busier in the future.

Needless to say, Xu Xiao Jiao knew that he would be quite busy. How much effort was required from planning to construction of a factory. She had watched her elder brother busying away in her previous life. During that time, her elder brother didn’t give a good feel. "Song Wei Ping, are you too ugly to look at?"

Song Wei Ping rubbed the stubble on his chin as well as pondering how his skin had darkened several degrees, "Isn’t that perfect. You won't have to worry and get Xiao Ji to supervise me every day."

Xu Xiao snorted, "I'm afraid you'll end up with some bad peach blossoms."

Though she hadn’t talked to Song Wei Ping the last time Chen Ji called her, she told Chen Ji to watch Song Wei Ping carefully and report it immediately if he got too close to other women.

Song Wei Ping smiled, "Xiao Ji is now closer to you than to me. He comes to supervise me for you every day. There is a female fly, he wished to keep me away from it. Don't worry."

Xu Xiao Jiao was proud, "That's right, Xiao Ji was my little brother now. I'm taking care of him. You should take more care of him, understand?"

Song Wei Ping nodded. He had already had this idea, "Many factories are under construction in the development zone. Once our factory is built, I plan to get some land on the road outside to build a few snack houses and rent them out. When the time comes, I’ll give one to Xiao Ji and let him sell pot stewed pork."

Xu Xiao Jiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Great, Song Wei Ping, your idea is pretty good."

The two were chatting happily and didn't feel they said much. Unknowingly, half an hour passed. It wasn't until someone from behind Song Wei Ping urged them that they realized that so much time had passed.

Song Wei Ping was still a little reluctant to hang up, "I'm in the phone booth. Someone is urging me from behind. Hanging up now. I'll call you tomorrow."

Xu Xiao gave an ‘en’ in response. Although he said he would call tomorrow, she was still reluctant to hang up. "Song Wei Ping, then you have to call early tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiao Jiao felt a little forlorn. Even if Song Wei Ping called every day from now on, she couldn't see him in person. It felt like the days were so long.

Should she do something? Xu Xiao Jiao contemplated with her chin on her face.

Now that Wu Chun Hua had completely mastered managing the pot stewed meat shop at home and could handle it herself. Besides, once Xiao Gang is on vacation, he will be able to help. So she won’t be needed.

Grandmother was in good health now. She happily sought her gardening friends and chatted with the neighbors every day. It could be seen that she was living a comfortable life and didn't have to worry much.  

She wasn’t as career-oriented as Shen Hua Hua.

Career? Xu Xiao Jiao's eyes lit up. Yes, she could pursue her career.

This time when they came back from the south, Song Wei Ping spent thousands on the goods. After selling them out, it almost doubled. Song Wei Ping didn't take the money with him. He and his business partners had sufficient loans, so he had no use for the money. Since he was out of town for a long time, he was afraid that something would happen to his family and left all his money to her. Now in this town, she could be regarded as a secret rich woman.

Originally, she thought that this money was an emergency fund and wouldn't be of much use. But now she suddenly had an idea.

Since the money was lying around, she could use it to invest in a career.

Although she had bought some houses around Chen Ji in the south, the more land, the better.

Anyway, Song Wei Ping wouldn't ask her where she spent her money. After a few years, the land would become more and more valuable and housing prices would rise. She would be able to surprise Song Wei Ping.

Her business, which required neither mouth nor hands, must develop and grow!

Nowadays, the market was active and there was a lot of information. There was an information board in the town. When Xu Xiao Jiao and her pot stewed meat shop opened, they posted advertisements on it. However, there were very few advertisements at that time. Usually, whatever happened in the town, the government would post some red-headed messages.

It was different now. Now in the town, someone had opened a canteen, someone had opened a shoe repair shop, someone was going to sell steamed buns, and someone was going to make clothes for people. Because their pot stewed meat shop took the lead, everyone liked to post information about their own store opening on it.

Of course, there was a lot of other information. Xu Xiao Jiao went there every day to look around and soon found out about the sale of the house.

One family posted an advertisement for selling their house. These days, many people who sell their houses do so because of troubles at home. Sometimes due to unlucky circumstances. No one asked about it. In order to sell the house quickly, this family made it clear that their two sons went to the south, where they started a business and started a family business. So the old couple wanted to go there to help and simply sold their family’s old house.

This was the kind of news Xu Xiao Jiao was waiting for.

In three to five days, she had another property under her name.

However, there were few people selling houses in the town. Many families have been here for generations. Even if there was any major development elsewhere, most of them were reluctant to sell the old home. Like their family. Although they bought a house in the town, the two old houses in the Meilin village were still kept. One was because the family felt nostalgic, and the other was Xu Xiao Jiao’s value-added mentality.

After much thought, she set her sights on the county city.

In this era, commercial housing had not yet appeared. Generally speaking, people who had a stable job could only live in houses allocated by their work units. There was no concept of buying a house. Nor were there many houses for sale in the county.

 Chapter 115 The Murderous House Case 4

In contrast to the bold trio who were bulldozing their way through puzzles to obtain clues, Jiang Yu and the others were partying with the NPCs where they were.

To be more exact, not where they were. It could only be said that there wasn’t much progress.

After they fell from above, they fell directly into the foam pool. The three of them were confused at first. Shu Hua stared at the dark and narrow passage and asked, "What happened? Why are we here? Where are Ye Yuanyu and the others?"

Jian Cang whispered, "I have a bad feeling."

Jiang Yu nodded. She felt the same way. Then she heard the terrifying sound of "hehe" coming from the side.

She turned around and saw a group of men and women wearing ancient costumes with their bodies stiff and stumbling toward them like zombies. She was so frightened that the hair stood on its end.

Shu Hua and Jian Cang naturally saw it. Immediately, a new round of screaming started. Fortunately, they didn't delay their escape despite all the screaming. After nimbly getting up from the foam pool, Shu Hua reached out and grabbed Jiang Yu

Jiang Yu finally felt that she could move. The three of them began to crawl forward along the dim passage. Amidst the fear, Jian Cang remembered to protect Jiang Yu. Not long after running out, he reached out and pushed her to the middle. Using the voice that had its tone changed, he shouted, "Don't drop behind! I don't dare to go back to find you!"

【Hahahaha, this Darling Jian, you can date this. He is scared witless and still remembers to protect Jiang Yu. 】 

【Although his real motive is due to afraid of going back to find her, it’s pretty good, hahahaha. 】

【Why am I so touched? Hahahaha. 】

So in front of Jiang Yu was Shu Hua’s high pitch path making and behind was the escort of Jian Cang’s intermittently tenor voice. They rushed all the way into a very large stone room. When they reached the middle, Jiang Yu felt something under her feet. Then her whole body whooshed into the air.

"Ah!" She couldn't help but exclaim.

Jian Cang, who was behind, saw Jiang Yu flying up in front of him and was startled, "Elder Sister Yu!!!"

Hearing the shrill voice, Shu Hua turned her head around despite the fear. Not seeing Jiang Yu, she screamed with her teeth open and claws waving while staring at the ground in shock, "What happened? What happened? Where's Bigshot? Where did she fall to again??!!”

The audience was amused by the three of them and laughed:

【Hahahahaha, these three clowns are so hilarious. 】

【ROFL, they made escaping quite a show. 】

【Three people, oh, no, two people created a formation of thousands of troops. 】

【This is my favorite part to watch, hahahaha...】

Shu Hua anxiously searched for Jiang Yu, Jian Cang quickly pointed upward, "Up there!"

Shu Hua raised her head:! ! !

Caught in a large rope net, Jiang Yu slowly rose up. Then she turned to the ‘zombies’ who were about to chase in and said to the two of them, "Leave me alone for now and hide!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the zombies burst through the door. Shu Hua and Jian Cang didn't have time to think. They screamed and rushed into a small fenced room on the opposite side.

Jian Cang hurriedly closed the fence door. Most of the few torches on the wall of the stone room were extinguished. Only two faintly provided weak light. The ‘zombies’ who were chasing them slowly and leisurely suddenly became extremely agile, roared loudly, and rushed toward the three people.

"Ahhhh!!! What's going on?!" Shu Hua and Jian Cang looked at the hands reaching out from outside the fence and the ferocious faces, huddled tightly in the corner, and shivered.

"Ah, mama, help!"

Even in the midst of this chaos, Shu Hua shouted loudly, "Bigshot, how are you?"

Jiang Yu was hung in the air. There were a few ‘zombies’ below who reached out and tried to grab her. Jiang Yu tried hard to avoid them by swinging the rope net, "It's fine."

【Although it’s so miserable, this is my source of happiness, hahahaha. 】

【The program team is wicked. The bold trio next door has nothing to show for, while the timid trio has monsters all the way. 】

【En, one side is timelessly quiet and peaceful and the other is flying chickens and jumping dogs. But I like this side better, hahaha. 】

Jiang Yu struggled in the rope net. At first, she was standing. When she felt someone could touch her feet, she shrank in fear. Because the rope net was soft, she immediately lost her balance and fell. Then she realized that the zombies below seemed unable to reach her.

 Huh?

Jiang Yu immediately thought of something and simply laid down. She stepped on the other side of the rope net with her legs and pushed hard, causing the height of the rope net to rise instantly.

When the center points were the same, the heights of the vertical ‘|’ and the horizontal "一" were naturally different.

She was completely out of the zombies below’s reach...

Zombie:......

 Audience:【……】

The audience watched as Jiang Yu stretched her legs and straightened her body when the zombies were jumping to catch her. When the zombies fell down, she relaxed again and gathered strength.

Afterward, she turned her head around and smiled obediently at a short zombie.

【Hahaha, this is very Jiang Yu. 】

【How can such a well-behaved-looking person be so naughty? So bad. 】

【NPC: I'm offended. 】

【LOL, the application of knowledge by top students is always reflected in all aspects. 】

Just when Jiang Yu felt that he couldn't move, the torch finally lit up again. The zombies seemed to be frightened and fled away. Hiding in the surrounding shadows, they roared at them. Their movements and sounds became smaller and smaller.

Jian Cang wasn't satisfied, "Why didn't they leave? What does this mean? Will they come again in a bit?!"

"Don't worry about it for now!" Shu Hua suddenly shouted, "There are some here too!"

He turned his head and followed Shu Hua's gaze, meeting the eyes of a snow-white skull with black holes.

He halted and jumped up at once, "Waaa!!"

Shu Hua was shocked too. The two of them rushed to the door in unison, only to find that the door was locked!

Jian Cang mentally collapsed, "Feck!!! Why is there a lock? You can't open the door but can lock it? Isn't this unreasonable?"

【Hahahaha, what he said makes sense. However, the director didn’t listen, hahahaha 】

Shu Hua shouted, "This is too much!!"

Probably because they made too much noise, the head of one skeleton in the back fell off and rolled to their feet.

"Ahhhhhh!!"

"Miss, have mercy!!"

Watching the two jumping around in the cell, the audience was overjoyed:

【The program team is so bad, hahaha, I like it. 】

【Ouch, my stomach hurts so much. I'm a little worried that I haven't prepared enough merit. 】

Jiang Yu was hanging in the air, faring a bit better. She had found a comfortable position and sat cross-legged in the rope net. She comforted the two of them, "Calm down, calm down, that's a model. It won't move. Look for clues first!"

Her words had some soothing effect. The two of them tried to calm down and looked back at the skeleton.

Jian Cang carefully picked up the skull's head, held it in both hands and put it back, "I'm sorry, Miss. Please forgive me if I offend you."

Shu Hua said, "How do you know it was the young lady?"

Jian Cang pointed to the clothes the skeleton was wearing, "This jacket and skirt must be that of a young lady."

Shu Hua said, "I mean, is there a possibility that she is an aunt?"

Jian Cang's expression turned solemn, "What you’re saying is wrong. There is no aunt in this world. Beside handsome guys, there are Misses."

【Hahaha, bravo Darling Jian. At least we don’t had to worry about finding a match. 】

【Indeed, if you call an auntie miss, they will be delighted. If you call a miss auntie, there will be fury. 】

Shu Hua felt it made sense. She clasped her hands and faced the skeleton, "Miss, pardon the offense. We have no choice but to do so."

Then she reached out and rummaged through the other person's clothes. When she reached the skirt, she tried to lift the other person's legs, which resulted in a "snap" sound...

Shu Hua stared at the thigh bone in her hand and asked Jian Cang seriously, "Do you think the miss will be angry?"

Jian Cang stayed away from her and said to the skeleton, "Miss, there is a debtor for the  wrongdoing. I didn't do it. You must recognize the person clearly."

Shu Hua gritted her teeth and kicked over.

Jian Cang quickly dodged. Then he discovered something, "Huh? This stone can move."

Shu Hua hurriedly gathered over, while Jian Cang pulled out the movable stone and took out a piece of cloth.

The words on it seemed to be written in black charcoal:

"Run, quick run! You must escape, otherwise life will be worse than death!" Jian Cang read. "In order to prevent us from escaping, Young Master specially used a combination lock. If you can read a Western clock, you can unlock the password! I am about to become a poisoned person and there is nothing I can do. I hope you can leave here!"

Three dice were drawn at the bottom.

Shu Hua stared at the three dice, "Why three? The password is five digits."

Jian Cang stared at it. Each dice had two dots painted on it, one red and one black and the positions were different.

Shu Hua unfolded the cloth and showed it to Jiang Yu, "Bigshot, decipher the code!"

Jian Cang said, "It's so far away, can you see clearly?"

Jiang Yu was lying on the rope net. It was true that she couldn't see clearly, but...

"Didn't she talk about a Western clock? Whether she draws dice or tofu, it is used as a dial. If it’s a line, it is used as the hour and minute hand. If it’s a point, it’s used as the direction of the hour and minute hands."

Jian Cang understood almost immediately, "Ah! Wait...it's 36915!"

"Huh?" Shu Hua caught on, "The first dice has a red dot in the middle on the right side and a black dot in the middle. The red dot was where the hour hand points. The black dot was where the minute hand points, so the first one was 3 o'clock. The second one was 3 o'clock. The one directly above and below was six o'clock. The third one directly above and below was nine o'clock and fifteen, so it was 36915!"

Jian Cang raised his hand and gave her a high-five, "That's awesome."

The two people hurriedly came out of the fence door and stared at Jiang Yu who was hanging in the air. Shu Hua said, "Bigshot, how are you going to get down?"

Jiang Yu looked around and seemed to have no clue, "You guys look for clues first."

So the three of them examined the stone room together.

Shu Hua remarked, "It's a bit like the mysterious dungeon in martial arts novels."

"It's a little different from the dungeon." Jian Cang pointed to the row of bars cells they had come out from. "There is only one row of places to hold people here." 

He then walked to the big stone bed in the middle and looked at the black leather straps fixed at the four corners. "This is where people are tied up, right? There’s also this table.”

"It doesn't look like a torture instrument. It looks a bit like an experimental bed. Doesn’t it look like an ancient version of a biological laboratory?"

Shu Hua had already set her eye on the blue record book on the table, "You are right. This is the ancient version of the biological laboratory, "The Diary of the Immortal Poisoned Man"."

She opened it and read: "...After several generations of efforts by our Chen Family, the immortal poisoned people has finally taken shape! If it succeeds, I will be the biggest contributor to our Chen Family! They will automatically attack the living. Wonderful”

TISHW 114ii




 In the camera, Qin Shiyu was flipping through the diary. His expression gradually darkened.

Xiang Chen was confused, "What did you write? So serious?"

【To make God Yu angry, what unheavenly wrong did the Chen Family do? 】

Qin Shiyu handed the diary to Xiang Chen, took out the handkerchief in the box, and searched for the password to leave the room.

Xiang Chen read the diary contents to Ye Yuanyu and the audience:

"Meng-er, I regret it. I shouldn't have separated from you. I heard that you aren't faring well, but never thought it to be like this..."

"If I had known you would suffer like this, I would rather you follow me, a calamity star. This way, even if you have to die one day, you could die straightforward and happily. This would be better than you being tortured by the Chen Family."

"The injuries on Meng-er's body had never disappeared. I am not even qualified to ask about it even when we clearly love each other so dearly. As a doctor, I can only secretly treat her wounds. If there is another chance, I will definitely go to propose marriage to Meng-er's father. Unfortunately it is too late..."

"Meng-er is injured again. They said it was because she was jealous of the maid and received family punishment... How can she be jealous of the maid? Chen Dongqing is looking for excuses to torture her!"

"No, I can't bear it anymore. I must save Meng-er."

……

"I'm depressed. Meng-er was pregnant. But I'm also a little relieved. At least the Chen Family values their heirs. She won't be beaten or punished anymore..."

Hearing this, Ye Yuanyu was confused, "Yang Meng-er had been pregnant? Didn't the genealogy say that she has no children?"

Xiang Chen recalled this too. Soon he knew the answer, "Why?! The Chen Family has gone too far! Meng-er was either locked in a room or in the ancestral hall all day long! How could she have an affair with someone?! Why on earth did they push her to death?"

"They actually want to drown Meng-er in a pig cage… Right away, Meng-er, I will take you out of here, right away."

……

Xiang Chen flipped the page. The last handwriting was full of anger, "So close. I was about to take her away before the time for immersion in the pig cage. Who killed Meng-er? Why kill Meng-er?!"

"I will definitely find out the truth and avenge Meng-er!"

The diary ended here.

Ye Yuanyu mulled over it, "The newspaper said that Yang Meng-er died mysteriously and not from being immersed in a pig cage."

Xiang Chen said, "Indeed. What this diary indicates is that Yang Meng-er was killed before she was immersed in the pig cage." 

He was puzzled, "If the murderer was the Chen Family, there was no point to make one more move since they had decided to immerse Yang Meng-er in the pig cage. Could it be that someone discovered that he and Meng Yu were going to elope?"

Ye Yuanyu frowned, "It doesn't make sense. Even if they found out that they were eloping, there was no need to kill anyone. To put it bluntly, even if they want to kill, it will be done by killing the two. Meng Yu couldn't be unscathed."

Speaking of Meng Yu, Xiang Chen couldn't help but complain, "This great-grandfather of the Meng Family is really..."

" He was deeply in love with Yang Meng-er. But because of some fate as a calamity star, he worried that Yang Meng-er would be affected by the misfortune and push her away. And the result? Yang Meng-er had it even worse. If they simply married at the beginning, would there be this many things?"

Ye Yuanyu nodded in agreement, "The most reassuring way is to take care of the one you love by yourself. Otherwise, how do you know that the next person she meets isn't the calamity star? What if it’s a scumbag? By the time she gets harmed, you can only watch as you’re not qualified to ask.”

He sighed, "Fortunately there aren't so many superstitious people in modern society."

Qin Shiyu:......

Ye Yuanyu turned around to ask Qin Shiyu if he had any additional clues, only to find him opening the secret door with an expressionless face.

Ye Yuanyu:? ? ?

【Hahahahaha, God Yu transformed into a ruthless problem-solving machine. 】

【He seemed a little irked. Does Qin Shiyu have such a strong sense of involvement? 】

【But if I was Meng Yu, I would be angry to death after knowing what happened to Yang Meng-er. Even if she die with me, at least it won't be such a painful death. 】

【Ye Yuanyu’s views on love poke me. If you like her, take care of her personally without hesitation. 】

Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen felt something was different about Qin Shiyu, they didn't know what he was sulking about. The two exchanged glances. Ye Yuanyu spoke out, "I wonder how Shu Hua and the others are doing."

Qin Shiyu quickened his pace, "We’ll probably find out soon."

Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen followed. The three of them quickly arrived at the new place. This room was even more terrifying; dim lighting, talismans all around, and bronze statues with ferocious faces in the eight corners, as if suppressing some terrible evil.

As soon as the three of them entered, the secret door behind them closed with a bang. The light in the entire room almost disappeared, leaving only a small candlelight oddly flickering.

Suddenly, a woman's shrill cries sounded, accompanied by a whooshing wind. The talismans attached to the doors and windows rustled. The atmosphere was scarier than visiting a mass grave in the middle of the night.

The audience couldn't help shrinking their necks and waited for the next high-spec moment.

Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen's footsteps slowed down in unison. Only Qin Shiyu wasn't affected at all and was looking for something under the odd candlelight.

While searching, a few green-faced and fanged female ghosts in red clothes with disheveled hair rushed out from the cabinet and under the bed. They almost stuck to them face-to-face. There was a very evil-minded one lying over the camera:

【Holy sht, sht! ! ! Daddy got scared to death! 】

【Damn, my heart almost stopped. 】

【How does Qin Shiyu stay completely indifferent! 】

【He isn't only indifferent! He even pushed them away. 】

【Hahaha, was it okay to dislike other people’s NPCs for getting in the way? 】

Seeing him pulling away the scary NPC from the cabinet and fiddled around, the audience was dumbfounded:

【God Yu, please, please keep dawdling. I'm worried that you will finish recording the show in an hour. 】

【That's right. I had said earlier that darkness and terror would seal Jiang Yu's abilities and the length of this episode will definitely satisfy people. Though Jiang Yu got sealed, Qin Shiyu became the second Jiang Yu. 】

【Although God Yu looks cool when solving problems, I have to give a negative review. It has no sense of experience at all. 】

【He made Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen not afraid anymore. 】

【I suggest learning from the timid trio next door. Hahahahahaha. Although they didn’t solve any problems there, it is quite jolly! 】

【Hahahahaha, I am going to be laughed to death because of Shu Hua and Jian Cang. 】

"Ahhhhhhh!! You old witch!! Come here if you have the ability!" Shu Hua's sharp scream could be heard faintly, adding a hint of horror to the strange room. This time, the three people in the room finally stopped their movement and listened.

Ye Yuanyu loudly hollered, "Shu Hua? Where are you?"

What responded to him was Jian Cang's screams and curses, "Beast, go to hell!!!"

Three people:...

Xiang Chen asked doubtfully, "Don't seem too scared?"

Ye Yuanyu nodded, "Sounds quite energetic."

Xiang Chen grinned, "With Jiang Yu present, it should be better. No matter what, at least they won't be trapped."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Jiang Yu's faint voice, "Let me out..."

If one wasn't familiar with her voice, they would have thought it was a female ghost.

The audience couldn’t stop laughing:

【Hahahaha, the program team has been wary of Jiang Yu for a long time. That’s why, she’s trapped alone. 】

【No more, I'm going to die from laughing. The three of them are crazy. It seems that the NPC is the one who is afraid now. 】

 Chapter 114 The Murderous House 3

【God Yu is anxious! He is anxious! 】

【Hahaha, wife has been taken away, how can he not be anxious? 】

【Ye Yuanyu looked quite worried, Xiang Chen is relatively calm. 】

【En, after all, they are make-do. So not that nervous. 】

【Hahahahaha, sarcasm! Darling Jian is going to be sad. 】

During the discussion on the barrage, Qin Shiyu had already taken the lead and emerged from the passage with Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen.

This was a room covered with cobwebs and dust. There were seven or eight large bookshelves inside. Countless books were neatly placed on the bookshelves. They were all a bit dilapidated, like a dusty library.

"This should be a library and archives room." Ye Yuanyu picked up a book from one of the bookshelves marked ‘Chen Family Rules’ and it was titled ‘Chen Family Genealogy’. When opened, it showed the birth history of everyone in the Chen Family. In addition to men, women were recorded in terms of dates and life stories, but they were all legitimate wives. Their life stories were very brief.

Ye Yuanyu flipped to the end and read the record, "The last two people in the Chen Family were Chen Dongqing and Yang Meng-er. There was no one after that?"

At this side, Xiang Chen found the answer. He held a newspaper from the Republic of China and read, "Anecdotes from City C: One month after the mysterious death of Yang, the eldest madam of the Chen Family in C City, dozens of people from the Chen Family mysteriously disappeared overnight. The police suspect that the Chen Family mostly likely met misfortune, but couldn't find the bones and the murderer. So they suspected that wronged souls had sought their lives."

Xiang Chen concluded after studying the details of the report, "After the Chen Family disappeared, the police station sent people to investigate and found that there were no traces of the Chen Family leaving. Everything in the mansion remained the same. Alive, there was no person; dead, there was no corpse. So this place became famous far and wide as a haunted house."

He rubbed his chin and contemplated, "After Yang Meng-er’s mysterious death. So this matter must be connected to her, right?"

Ye Yuanyu looked at Yang Meng-er's birth and death dates on the family tree, "February 7, 1902 - July 2, 1922," he sighed, "She only lived 20 years."

Xiang Chen came over and took in the introduction, "The evil woman Mrs. Yang, the daughter of Scholar Yang from Qingshi Town, was brought back with a fifty-tael betrothal gift to hold a wedding with Eldest Young Master to counteract the bad luck. Disrespectful to the parents-in-law, jealous, has had no children for three years, and even had an affair with an outsider. Sentenced to immersion in a pig cage."

He said, "So Yang Meng-er was sold to the Chen Family to marry the eldest young master. Because she had no children for three years and was found to have had an affair, she was drowned in a pig cage? But based on the content in the newspaper, she might have been killed unjustly.”

Ye Yuanyu felt that something was amiss, "If she drowned in a pig cage, it doesn't count as a mysterious death, right?"

Something else must have happened. Xiang Chen asked Qin Shiyu, "Are there any other clues?"

"That should be all. Let's go." Qin Shiyu directly opened a secret door.

Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen were stunned. Xiang Chen was surprised, "There is no password?"

The audience had it better than the two of them, but not much better:

【I clearly saw a password lock on it! 】

【En, I saw it too. Qin Shiyu went up and unlocked the code. 】

【He solved the password before I even found the puzzle? 】

【God Yu, we know you are anxious, but don’t be so anxious. You can explain it to us a little bit. 】

Fortunately, Ye Yuanyu was curious. He looked at the five-digit text code lock hanging on the secret door, "Where is the puzzle?"

Qin Shiyu handed him a piece of paper.

Ye Yuanyu took it, "Meng-er, I bought Chen's property. According to your preference, I built a lot of secret passages so that you can freely wander around the property. This code is our favorite poetry game when we were children. You can tell at a glance - Meng Yu." 

Below was a 10 by 10 grid with a lot of text filled in messily.

After studying it, he handed the paper to the curious Xiang Chen.

Qin Shiyu explained as he walked, "This is a chessboard code. You can get the answer by moving up, down, left, and right in the direction he pointed. It’s 'the sun flows into the sea'."

Xiang Chen laughed, "You solved it too quickly."

【That’s right. I don’t even understand it? 】

【I didn’t even have a chance to clearly see the question. 】

【I had long heard that Qin Shiyu is formidle when he’s not dawdling around. Today, I saw it today. 】

Knowing the thought path, Ye Yuanyu and Xiang Chen quickly obtained the answer to the puzzle. They began to study the information on the paper. Ye Yuanyu said, "Meng Yu, is the great-grandfather of the Meng Family who bought the Chen Family's property?"

Xiang Chen said, "He dares to buy a haunted house. Quite formidable."

"Because of Yang Meng-er." Ye Yuanyu said, "From his words, he was a childhood friend with Yang Meng-er."

Xiang Chen said, "I'm afraid he wasn't an ordinary childhood friend. He dared to buy this haunted house after the Chen Family disappeared and even renovated it specifically for Yang Meng-er. Could he be the murderer who killed the Chen Family in revenge for Yang Meng-er?"

Ye Yuanyu felt there were doubts, "But he can't make so many people in the Chen Family disappear overnight, right?"

While they were discussing, they arrived at the new room. It was a pharmacy. There was a whole wall of medicine cabinets and a whole wall of medical books. It seemed that because the eldest young master of the Chen Family was sickly, the Chen Family had a permanent resident doctor.

The three of them found Dr. Chen's medication records for the Chen Family on the table in the middle. Ye Yuanyu opened a page with words and read: "On 8th April 1919, the eldest young master, Chen Dongqing, is physically weak; consume medicines such as cinnamon, deer antler, Epimedium, and recommend supplementing with tiger..."

Ye Yuanyu suddenly stopped reading. Xiang Chen curiously approached, "What's wrong?"

After seeing the words above, he pursed his lips and closed his mouth, making the audience extremely curious:

 【What's wrong? What kind of medicine made you all shy? 】

The camera clearly pointed at the medication record. saw that the last line was: "... recommend supplementing with tiger penis."

Even if one didn’t understand the medicine at the beginning, the adult would probably understand the latter part. The audience was immediately became amused:

【Hahahaha, it turns out they are all aphrodisiac medicinal materials. 】

【So it turns out that this Young Master Chen can’t do it? 】

【LOL, they are so innocent. They actually feel embarrassed because of this. 】

【A pure academic knows a lot, hahahaha. 】 

【A bit cute. 】

The two people in the camera quickly moved past this topic in a tacit understanding. Xiang Chen said, "So Yang Meng-er can’t be blamed for having no children, right? She was indeed wronged."

Ye Yuanyu turned to another page and couldn't help but frown, "It seems that it's not just wrongly accused of being childless."

Xiang Chen saw Yang Meng-er's frequent medication records:

"On 10th April 1919, the eldest madam, Mrs. Yang was infected with chill from wind and cold; used Yunnanbai medicine to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis."

He wondered, "Use medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis to treat wind and cold?"

Ye Yuanyu said, "The eldest young master of the Chen Family got married on April 8th and was prescribed aphrodisiac medicine. Yang Meng-er was infected on April 10th and needed medicine to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis to prevent cold..."

He continued to read:

"On 15th April 1919, the eldest madam, Mrs. Yang is infected with chill from wind and cold; used gold sore medicine..."

"On 1st May 1919, the eldest madam, Mrs. Yang is infected with chill from wind and cold; used safflower oil...On 3rd May, used gold sore medicine..."

Ye Yuanyu frowned. Xiang Chen caught on, "She was abused. In the pretense of a chill from the wind, she was given medicine for bruises..."

Ye Yuanyu counted the time, "1919, 17 times."

Xiang Chen took the booklet over and continued to read. His brows furrowed more and more tightly, "Yang Meng-er's medication record was even more than that of the young master of the Chen Family. Those who don't know better think that she was the frail one."

"Look for other clues," He looked up and saw Qin Shiyu pulling out a wooden box with a code lock. Stepping forward, he spoke, "What is that? How many digits is the code? Letters or numbers?"

As soon as he finished asking, Qin Shiyu directly opened the lock.

Xiang Chen:......

 Audiences:……

【...When did he get the password? 】

【I swear, I watched him walk around the room, find this box, and then he opened it straightaway. 】

【Remembering Jiang Yu back then. God Yu, don’t imitate her! 】

Ye Yuanyu couldn't help but be curious, "What's inside?"

Qin Shiyu simply took out a notebook inside, "Meng Yu's diary."

Xiang Chen studied the box, "How do you know the password?"

Qin Shiyu stated, "Yang Meng-er's death date."

【? ? ? ? 】

【What did we miss? 】

【Confused face. It was said earlier that Yang Meng-er died mysteriously. The date of her death wasn't mentioned, right? 】

Xiang Chen suddenly realized, "The family tree contains the dates of Yang Meng-er's birth and death, but..." he asked, "Why is the password the date of her death?"

Qin Shiyu opened the diary, "According to the normal script structure, after introducing Yang Meng-er and her experiences, people who want to clear her grievances or get revenge should appear. And since they want to avenge her, then this password is very likely to be related to her. A six-digit password is usually a date. So it's either the birth month and year or the death month and year."

【...This works? 】

【The leaping mind of a top student. 】

【The escape room bug! I finally witness it. 】

【This is too awesome! As expected of my husband. 】
