Chapter 120 The Murderous House Case 9
In fact, this step was similar to touching a blind box while blindfolded, but because Jiang Yu skillfully took out a mirror and could clearly see what was in the crack of the door, this unknown fear effect was gone.
Jiang Yu wanted to scare people at first, but she didn't expect Qin Shiyu to sincerely express his trust in her, which made her embarrassed to do anything. Then she thought about how he was Qin Shiyu, so he wouldn't be afraid of anything. So she simply let show it to him on the small mirror.
Qin Shiyu looked at the row of "demons and monsters", smiled at Jiang Yu, and put his hand in without changing his expression.
When he was about to take out the key, his expression suddenly changed, as if he was frightened. He yelped out and was so frightened that he threw the things in his hands away.
What a coincidence, it happened to be toward Ye Yuanyu and Shu Hua who were huddled together waiting for the result.
"AHHH!!!"
The four of them immediately became frightened. Qin Shiyu pulled Jiang Yu, who was squatting and was still a little confused, to the side to watch the excitement.
The audience didn’t know whether to laugh or cry:
【I was saying, when there is no danger, teammates are the biggest danger. 】
【This is hilarious. When did Qin Shiyu become so naughty? Sure enough, he must be learning from Jiang Yu. 】
【It is said that when you like someone, you will become more and more like her. The Double A couple has provided evidence of this. 】
Ye Yuanyu kicked the furry spider away, while Shu Hua stomped her feet angrily, "Qin Shiyu!"
Qin Shiyu quickly unlocked the door and pushed Jiang Yu into the room.
When Shu Hua and Jian Cang saw this, they quickly chased after them, wanting to take revenge. As soon as they entered the door, there was another round of screaming and jumping. It turned out that there was a row of "cuties" not far from the door frame. In addition to the stuffed spider just now, there were realistic snakes, bats, cockroaches, centipedes, scorpions, etc. Shu Hua and Jian Cang, who were rushing in front, stepped on them when they came in.
"Ah!!!! -" Shu Hua turned around in fright and jumped on Ye Yuanyu. Jian Cang wanted to jump on Xiang Chen. However, Xiang Chen was also afraid and dodge before him, causing Jian Cang to miss. He almost fell down, but fortunately he was tall and had long legs. So he still managed to reach out and grabbed Xiang Chen's waistcoat. Being pulled, Xiang Chen fell to the side. He hugged the door frame to steady himself. Due to borrowing his support, Jian Cang also fell over from the force. So the two of them fought against the door frame like Arhats on top of each other. The posture was a bit like Jian Cang's bow against King Xiang Chen.
Jiang Yu couldn't help but stretch out her hands to cover her eyes and peeked out through the gap left between her ring finger and middle finger. Everyone could see her bright eyes.
Qin Shiyu drawlingly whistled, "Waa~~"
Shu Hua had forgotten to be frightened, still holding Ye Yuanyu with one hand, and exclaimed, "Wow~~"
Jian Cang and Xiang Chen:...
【Hahahaha, I’ll just say it! 】
【It’s amusing me to death. They were going to turn the horror theme into a comedy. 】
【I was wrong. I thought Xiang Chen and Jian Cang were lacking some CP feel before. Looking at it now, isn’t it sweet? Sisters! I'm going to ship this. 】
After Jian Cang came back to his senses, he simply put one hand on the door frame and banged Xiang Chen, saying in an unreasonable tone, "Don't you love me? You run away first at the sight of something scary? Are you a man?"
Xiang Chen put a finger on his shoulder and slowly pushed him away in disgust, "I am a man, but don't you know whether I love you or not?"
"I'm going to divorce you if you continue to make a fuss."
The group laughed together. The things on the ground didn't seem so scary anymore.
Though they laughed, collecting clues wasn’t delayed.
The most eye-catching thing was a piece of paper placed on the single bed. Jian Cang picked it up and read, "The box in the cabinet is what you from twenty years later left. It is very important."
Jian Cang looked at the cabinet, "Is there a box in there?"
Ye Yuanyu was already standing next to the cabinet and examined the code lock on it. "Have to decipher the code first. It’s related to herbs, five kinds of herbs."
Jian Cang said quickly, "Oh, the hint is here."
He continued to read, "The password we set for the cabinet door is the first game I played with Meng-er, the herbal medicine game."
Below was a puzzle filled with the names of more than a dozen kinds of herbs.
Solving puzzles was a familiar path to them. Especially when the puzzle ended up in Jiang Yu’s hands and got solved in just ten seconds. Now they were even more curious about the box in the cabinet.
When they opened the cabinet door, they saw the familiar sandalwood box inside. It was almost identical to the one they found under the altar table in the ancestral hall, except that one had the word "moon" engraved on it. This one had the word "box" engraved on it.
They had already opened the first box, so there was nothing to hesitate about.
Ye Yuanyu opened the box and first took out a note inside, "1. After collecting the four Moonlight Treasure Box, you can go back to the past, however the maximum time limit is only twenty-two years; 2. Where you go to go back, is where you’ll go back to in the past; 3. After returning to the past, you can only stay for a quarter of an hour at most; 4. The longer the time travels, the longer the Moonlight Box needs to accumulate power. After traveling to twenty-two years back, the treasure box needs to be charged for a full year before it can be activated again, while it only takes one or two days for traveling to a month back; 5. Each treasure box can only go back three times. After that amount of time, it’s exhausted and the treasure box will automatically hide. Everyone can’t see it until it is recharged fifty years later.”
"Meng-er is in danger in the Chen Family. I’m worried that I would be too late, so I decided to leave a treasure box here. This treasure box can go back to any day after Meng-er got married, but it can only be used three times. Please save her at this critical moment."
After Ye Yuanyu finished reading, Xiang Chen said, "So the middle-aged Meng Yu accidentally got a moonlight box that can go back to the past and come back to save Yang Meng-er?"
He analyzed, "But the moonlight box takes too long to charge after once. He left one for young Meng Yu, hoping that he can save Yang Meng-er in time."
Jian Cang said, "He can only travel back twenty-two years, so at most he can only go back to when Yang Meng-er married into the Chen Family."
Shu Hua said, "No wonder, I was thinking just now, why didn't he just travel back in time to before he broke up with Yang Meng-er?"
She said depressedly, "Can't it be earlier?"
Jiang Yu stated calmly, "The director won't let it."
Jian Cang was suddenly struck with laughter, "Oh right, the director won't let it, hahaha."
Ye Yuanyu guessed, "A single treasure box is similar to divided boxes, so it can only be used within a limited period of twenty-two years."
Shu Hua was curious, "Is there any other instruction?"
Ye Yuanyu continued to read the note, "If you encounter some strange things, such as images appearing out of thin air, don't panic. In the place where the Moonlight Treasure Box appeared, you will occasionally see the scenes in the past. Those are all side effects of traveling through time with the Moonlight Treasure Box. Don’t be afraid”
Shu Hua clapped her hands, "So the earlier of Yang Meng-er and middle-aged Meng Yu in the ancestral hall should be the scene of Meng Yu when he first went back."
Jian Cang said, "But in the side hall we were in at the beginning, there was a scene of Chen Dongqing and Yang Meng-er getting married. Does that mean there was a moonlight treasure box there? If so, the wedding ceremony would be earlier than the kneeling ceremony in the ancestral hall. So which one is the first time travel?"
Jiang Yu said, "It takes a year to accumulate energy for one time. It’s impossible for the two times to be so close together. Unless the young Meng Yu used a box to go back to the wedding."
Qin Shiyu added, "The newspaper brought by the middle-aged Meng Yu said that the Chen Family's affairs were exposed in 1942 and Yang Meng-er and her son had been poisoned people. But in the evening newspaper in the library, It was written about the mysterious death of Yang Meng-er in 1922. One month after her death, the entire Chen family disappeared mysteriously. These are two endings."
"So the Moonlight Box actually changed the fate of the Chen Family and Yang Meng-er." Jian Cang found it interesting, "This episode is quite interesting."
Ye Yuanyu said, "Keep searching for clues."
Jiang Yu quickly pulled out a notebook from under the bed. Xiang Chen felt it looked familiar, "Isn't this Meng Yu's diary? There is one in the warehouse."
He came over and stood behind Jiang Yu, intending to read the content together, "He quite likes writing diaries."
Jiang Yu didn't notice anything was wrong and wanted to hand the notebook to him. Xiang Chen smiled and said, "Let's read it together."
Qin Shiyu, who was dawdling at the side, suddenly reached out to take the diary, opened it and read: "An extra moonlight treasure box inexplicably apeared in the room. It is said to be left by me from twenty-two years later, but why can't it be earlier? Earlier, I will definitely prevent Meng-er from marrying into the Chen Family."
"But now Meng-er is dead and the murderer is unknown... Yes! With this, I can save Meng-er! She was killed on July 2nd. As long as I go back to July 2nd, I will have a chance to save and take her away."
"She was locked up in the woodshed. I have to find an opportunity to go to the woodshed."
Ye Yuanyu pondered after listening, "Middle-aged Meng Yuchuan came back and told Yang Meng-er the truth, so Yang Meng-er wasn’t clueless like the first time. She knew the Chen Family's secrets and resisted in silence. This led to the Chen Family persecuting her sooner. The middle-aged Meng Yu didn't know this. When he divided the Moonlight Treasure Box and left it to the young Meng Yu, Yang Meng-er had been killed. The young Meng Yu used the Moonlight Treasure Box to investigate the real culprit. "
Shu Hua was curious, "Who killed Yang Meng-er?"
Jiang Yu said, "Do you mind spoilers?"
"Bigshot, you know?" Shu Hua was surprised and shook her head quickly, "No spoilers!" After saying that, she ran out, "Let's go to the woodshed!"
Xiang Chen approached Jiang Yu and said with a smile, "I guess it's Meng Yu."
Jiang Yu smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up, indicating that the hero shared the same views.
Xiang Chen smiled even happier.
Qin Shiyu who had dropped his guard for a moment:...
