Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm

"My name is Sun Er, and I am the second oldest in my family. Sun Jiu and I are from the same family. She is my younger sister, but we are not very close. My parents divorced when I was young. She lived with my father, and I lived with my mother."

"My mother..."

She suddenly paused, hesitating whether to speak.

"My mother is in that kind of business, so I'm not doing very well. She made me pretend to be a bride, hoping that maybe I could live a better life from then on."

Su Mian let go of Sun Er, and after not hearing her sister speak, she seemed much more normal.

"My name is Sun Jiu, and I'm the ninth child in my family. Sun Er is my older sister, but our parents divorced later."

"I live with my father and went to university in the city. I came to this engagement specifically because Uncle Mao and my father are very familiar with each other."

She pointed to a table not far away, where her father was already drinking and having a good time with a group of old men.

Su Mian: "My name is Li Meili, I'm from Xiangshan Village. My father is a shoemaker, and my mother sells clothes. The Mao family has patronized our business before, so I'm here on behalf of my family to reciprocate."

Su Mian rambled on expressionlessly, knowing that if asked, no one in the Mao family would know where they had bought the clothes.

After the self-introduction, as the bride, she will naturally stay here.

Then a new problem arose: the Mao family residence was not a single house; in a true sense, they had several houses connected together.

The main house was where Mao Rongjun lived. It was a three-story villa with a small garden on the second floor, which was quite comfortable.

There are two houses next to it. One of them can only be described as a thatched hut, and it has a lot of chickens and ducks. You can smell a stench even before you go inside. The other one is slightly better, with cheap white tiles and a cement floor.

The last building also appeared extremely eerie. It was located at the other end of Maojia Rice Field, covered by dense vegetation, with only the door exposed for easy access.

The walls were yellowed, and in some places even gray, as if they had been burned.

Mao Ning, the second daughter of the Mao family, led a group of people around several houses before finally stopping. Although she was only five years old, her smile was meaningful and sinister.

"There aren't enough rooms in the house. The main house can only accommodate one older sister, the thatched house can accommodate one, the white-tiled house can accommodate two, and the house across the street can accommodate two older sisters."

Qiao Yinuo swallowed hard, not daring to look at the person opposite her.

"Who would dare live across the street...?"

Of course, the game didn't give them a chance to think at all.

[Ding-dong – Random level event triggered, current level: C]

Please complete the following selection within ten minutes.

Option 1: The main residence (a three-story villa), for one person only. Daily special tasks assigned by Mao Rongjun must be completed. No life-saving measures provided. Danger level: Five stars.

Option 2: Thatched hut (chicken and duck farmhouse), limited to one person only, low quality of life, requires daily feeding of chickens, ducks, and other poultry, danger level: one star.

[Option 3: White tile house (simple housing), can accommodate two people, guest room, may trigger various events and missions, people encountered include but are not limited to: elders of the Mao family, public officials, local DM, etc., no life guarantee, danger level: four stars.]

[Option 4: A gloomy old house, accommodating two people. Occasionally you may encounter wandering ghosts, but they all died in the mountains. They are mild-mannered, and missions are infrequent. Danger level: three stars.]

Qiao Yinuo picked up a blade of grass from somewhere and said, "That guy with the white tiled roof is actually more dangerous than the one across the street."

"Not only that, but options one and three don't even offer any guarantee of safety."

Tiffany frowned and said, "The seemingly most dangerous and gloomy old house actually has a guarantee of life, while the very simple thatched house also has the highest safety index."

Their daily tasks might just involve shoveling manure and feeding them.

"I'll go to the main house."

Su Mian stood up, and Qiao Yinuo stared wide-eyed. "Are you crazy?"

Su Mian shook her head. "The main house will have more clues, which will be more helpful in solving the case. Although the identity of the deceased is currently unknown, it is most likely related to Mao Rongjun."

Her explanation quickly convinced everyone, and no one suspected that the murderer might be trying to conceal clues. After all, the danger level was five stars, and no one dared to take the risk.

But Su Mian was daring. She pretended to sacrifice herself so that she could find out the clues faster than others and take control of the situation in time. As for the level of danger, she didn't care.

Moreover, Su Mian has high requirements for sleep, and she herself would not be happy to live in a thatched hut or across the street.

"Then let's..."

Choose white ceramic tiles.

The two sisters ranked second in danger and seemed like pro players; the remaining three hadn't been chosen yet.

Meng Yaya blushed, but still couldn't help but shamelessly ask, "I... this is my first time playing a game, could you let me stay in a thatched hut?"

Tiffany glanced at Qiao Yinuo and smiled gently, "I'm fine, how about you?"

Qiao Yinuo scratched her head and looked at Su Mian, who nodded.

"Go ahead, two people are better than one. She's also a high-level player and can protect you if necessary."

When Tiffany heard this, she thought it was a compliment, and she secretly curled the corners of her mouth.

"Don't worry, Fugui. The Ragdoll cat asked me to protect you, so I will definitely do my best."

Qiao Yinuo's eyes widened in anger.

"What do you mean she asked you to protect me? You little green tea!" She snorted twice, though she agreed, she was still very unconvinced.

"I will protect myself. Also, call me by my code name, Li Xia."

Fu Gui thought it sounded like someone was yelling at a dog, and she really couldn't stand it.

After agreeing on their accommodations, the players parted ways. Qiao Yinuo was very reluctant to leave her room, but Tiffany took her away with a lock.

There were still many guests at the entrance of the white-tiled house where the twin sisters went. They were playing cards and mahjong. As soon as they saw the two sisters come in, they looked at them with longing eyes and stopped what they were doing.

Meng Yaya looked away with a chill down her spine and hurried back to her thatched hut.

Mao Ning looked up and grinned at Su Mian, "Sister-in-law, shall we go?"

Su Mian put her finger to the center of her lips, half-squatted down and patted her head.

"Just call me 'sister' when we're out."

Mao Ning was a little confused, but still nodded obediently.

Although Su Mian was unclear why Mao's father couldn't recognize the real bride, but Mao's youngest daughter could, she didn't investigate further and the two entered the house hand in hand.

There were still some elderly people packing up leftovers in the front yard, while all of Mao's extended family members had gone to the white-tiled house next door.

A commotion came from the main gate; it was Mao's father returning with Mao Rongjun.

Everyone was very curious about Mao's eldest son. As soon as they heard that he had been found, they all gathered around to exchange a few pleasantries.

The man was tall and slender. Surrounded by a group of people, he could still show his shoulders, which showed that he exercised regularly.

He was physically strong and composed, but from the angle of his sleeping position, only the back of his head and some flattering words could be seen.

"He looks like a cultured person."
