Chapter 208 Introducing the King into the Urn
Chapter 208 Introducing the King into the Urn
But before taking Medea to seek protection from the prince, they had one more thing to do—go downstairs pretending to be ignorant, and check on Cassandra's body.
Cassandra's bad game strategy allowed Ji Qiming and the others to pick up a bargain that couldn't be greater. It was precisely because she made a mistake in disguising herself as a member of the Demon Realm faction at the beginning that Ji Qiming and the others were able to provoke Michael. A simple-minded NPC who successfully borrowed a knife to kill someone.
The faction of the perpetrators is not monolithic, which gave Ji Qiming and the others great convenience. Now there is only one hidden perpetrator besides Michael. As long as this person is successfully dealt with, the reasoning game will basically come to an end and become a pure and simple one. armed confrontation.
And the only opportunity for this hidden excellent perpetrator to show his feet,
That's when Cassandra's body was discovered by everyone.
Because of Cassandra's screams before she died and the sound of the glass coffee table being smashed when she fell to the ground, after Michael hurried back to the room, people came to check what happened.Leah, who came out of her room on the second floor, looked down the hallway and found Cassandra's body, and immediately let out a dolphin-like scream.
──I really don't understand these girls,
Why do you have to scream when you have nothing to do?
Ji Qiming covered his sore ears from the screams and burst into tears.
However, the timing is not right now, and regardless of the lack of a single way for the girls to express panic in this game, Ji Qiming and Wu Ming rushed to the side of Cassandra's body first, pretending to check for signs of Cassandra's survival , touched her body up and down, and found something.
──a dagger,
A packet of poison powder,
And... a tarot card.
"Hermit..." Ji Qiming read out the words on the card. Is this an act of espionage on behalf of Cassandra who disguised herself as a demon camp, but was actually a member of the perpetrator?
[Alliance] [Doraemon]: That is to say, you can't tell the camp just by looking at the tarot cards...
Ji Qiming couldn't help typing a statement on their alliance channel.
[Alliance] [Doraemon]: Croto is so obvious, how can someone like a hermit tell which camp he belongs to?
[Alliance] [Anonymous]: I don't think the faction is expressed through the meaning of the cards.
Wu Ming came back soon, he held up Cassandra's hermit card,
He turned it over, revealing the red pattern on the back, and motioned Ji Qiming to check the color of the pattern on the back of his card.
[Alliance] [Unnamed]: Croto's card was also on a red background.
[Alliance] [Doraemon]: We are blue...
Ji Qiming was stunned.
[Alliance] [Rick]: As I remember, Fenrir is green.
Rick also had an epiphany.
[Alliance] [Unnamed]: Now it's very clear,
The demon camp has a blue card back, the heavenly camp has a red back, and the NPC has a green back. "
Wu Ming took out the lover's card in their hands,
Check out the back.
[Alliance] [Unnamed]: The back of the lover card is brown, probably an extra card or an item card.
"In that case..." Rick glanced around quickly,
Seeing that everyone has not arrived yet,
He quickly snatched the lover card from Wu Ming's hand and threw it on Cassandra, but put away her original hermit card.
"...This is?" Ji Qiming was stunned for a moment.
[Alliance] [Rick]: Regardless of whether our opponent knows the real pattern basis of the Tarot card identification, this can confuse the opponent.
Rick simply explained on the channel that at this time, other people had already rushed into the hall from upstairs or elsewhere in the castle, and Rick then took her to the side quietly under the guise of comforting Medea. , observing everyone's actions with cold eyes.This time, Leah and Miranda were the first to go downstairs, Delphi and Munster were not slow, and the prince was late. Of course, the slowest was Michael who went back to his room and changed his clothes again.
──However...
Ji Qiming looked at Michael,
It was found that the military uniform on his body was the same as the previous one.
──How many identical sets of clothes did this person bring?
[Alliance] [Rick]: Attention,
This time we are not looking for the murderer, but the last hidden perpetrator, so everyone must carefully observe all abnormal behaviors of the suspects who have not been separated from the camp, even if it is just twitching corners of the mouth and raised eyebrows. eyebrows.
[Alliance] [Doraemon]: Understood!
Ji Qiming opened his eyes wide and looked carefully at the suspects. Leah, who "was the first" to discover the body before, was sitting down beside Cassandra and crying. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like a normal character's reaction.
It is estimated that Rick's previous judgment was correct, she should be a real NPC.
Then the key is Munster, Miranda and Delphi.
[Alliance] [Unnamed]: Actually, we just need to find the only player among Munster, Miranda, and Delphi who is a player. Finding a player is much easier than finding the perpetrator.
That's right!Ji Qiming cheered up. The players who entered this space-time dungeon were all perpetrators except for the three of them, and even neutral NPCs might be attracted by the players and have a tendency to have camps and disturb their sight. Instead of judging the camps of these three people, Why not go find the only player among them!
And the easiest place to give away is that only players know the meaning of Tarot!
"Look, it's Tarot again." Ji Qiming said deliberately, he pretended to be surprised and pointed to the tarot card that was thrown on Cassandra's chest, which was half stained red with blood: "This time it's a lover!"
"Lover..." Sure enough, all three of them responded, but Miranda simply showed a puzzled expression, while Delphi and Munster frowned.
"Is Cassandra the murderer's lover?" Leah asked puzzled.
"Cough, cough, cough..." Michael seemed to be choking on his own saliva, and suddenly coughed, while Ji Qiming and the others took a lot of effort to maintain a poker face with no expression. Watch Michael, otherwise Ji Qiming reckons they will laugh.
"Show me that card." The prince signaled Rick to pick up the tarot with his eyes. Rick smiled and walked to the side of Cassandra's body with his long legs. ,
He picked up the blood-stained Tarot card with his index finger and middle finger, and intentionally or unintentionally showed only the front face in front of Miranda, Delphi, and Munster, and then placed the Tarot card face up on a white strip. In the napkin, presented to the Prince.
Even if Rick's every action is extremely in line with the status of the prince's housekeeper who pays attention to etiquette to the extreme, it seems that he just doesn't want the dirty blood to stain the prince's eyes, but in fact Ji Qiming knows that this black-bellied guy Definitely on purpose.
The more those people are prevented from seeing the back of the Tarot cards, the more the only player who knows will look for a chance to see it. In this case, he is tantamount to completely exposing himself to the target of Ji Qiming and the others.
