Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 270 Long-cherished wish (2) - Bad guy

This time Yu Xing played the role of a handy servant in Fang Mansion named Xiao Jin.

Xiao Jin is only eighteen years old this year. When he was twelve years old, something happened to his family and he was bought in by the housekeeper. He has been working in Fang Mansion since he was a child.

He has done everything, working in the kitchen, washing clothes, cleaning...

Because he has been performing well and good-looking, his salary is getting higher and higher, and he is gradually appreciated by the master and his wife, and finally he stays with her to help with shopping and other things.

Logically speaking, since he has reached this level, he should not be beaten or scolded by his mother Liang, who is the young master’s nanny.

The strange thing is that Xiao Jin is not a completely good person.

 He is very greedy for money.

Over the years, with the convenience of his position, he has successively sold some of his master's things in exchange for money, but because he did it in a secretive way, he was rarely discovered. Even if his master noticed that something was missing, they would not think of him.

 In a few years, there were three or four servants who were wrongfully sold out, while he stayed by his wife's side steadily, enjoying the ill-gotten gains.

 This situation continued until the arrival of the master.

The master came to Fang Mansion a year ago. At that time, the young master fell seriously ill. Dr. Cui, the doctor used by Fang Mansion, tried many methods but nothing worked. The anxious master didn't know where he met a very capable master. , and took it home.

The master is mysterious and mysterious. He always wears a half-mask on his face and never takes it off. When he came, he said that the young master had hit something dirty and performed some rituals, but he actually cured the young master.

After that, the master lived in Fang Mansion as often as Dr. Cui. Headaches and brain fever were still treated by Dr. Cui. The master was only responsible for taking care of the young master.

Since the serious illness, the young master has been very weak. Every once in a while, everyone has to pray for the young master. The master is a businessman and often goes out to do business with his confidants. He does not come back for ten days and a half, so the wife stays to take care of the young master. , and gradually the relationship with the master became subtle.

This is the information that comes with Yu Xing's identity card. He doesn't know the details about the matter between the master and his wife.

The last time Xiao Jin stole something, he was discovered by the master.

That time he wanted to steal a hairpin that was not commonly used by his wife. She bought the hairpin and wore it for a few days. Since someone in another house wore a similar hairpin, she disliked it very much and never touched it again.

Xiao Jin estimated that his wife had almost forgotten this thing, so he found the target.

Unexpectedly, he sneaked into his wife's room that day and was caught by the master.

The master pushed open the door and entered, as if he already knew he was inside. He held his handle with a smile on his lips. What was strange was that he did not report Xiao Jin to anyone, and even allowed him to continue sneaking around. He just didn't know to tell his wife. Something made Xiao Jin gradually despised by his wife.

Xiao Jin could do less and less. In the end, his wife even transferred him away from her and went to work for Dr. Cui instead.

Dr. Cui has several assistants. Now, his status has plummeted. And because he is disliked by his wife, he is always picked on and bullied by others.

Not to mention, one day, the master came to him and told him that the medicine that Dr. Cui had to cook for the young master every day was missing some medicinal ingredients. Although Xiao Jin’s hands and feet were dirty, if he could do things for him, he would be able to return. Go and serve the lady.

—Whether he answered or not, Yu Xing didn’t know, which meant that the ID card didn’t say it, so this key information was lost here.

 Very deceptive.

Mother Liang didn’t know that he had ever stolen anything. She just saw that his other servants were being squeezed out so much that she blindly guessed that he had offended the master and was protecting him intentionally or unintentionally.

 Everyone in the Fang Mansion is afraid of the master because he has an eccentric personality and is a bit surly, but his wife likes him and indulges him in everything.

 Fear is not reverence. There are many people who are displeased with the master but dare not speak out. Mother Liang and Dr. Cui are two of them.

Many people knew what happened between the madam and the master, but the master didn't know it. The previous housekeeper, the one who bought Xiao Jin back, couldn't stand it and exposed the master to the master, but he was wrongfully accused. He was kicked out in the name of his family benefactor. Now the new housekeeper is completely on the master's side, and the servants dare not say a word.

Yu Xing chuckled in his heart.

Mother Liang is a good person, but she doesn’t know people well.

 Xiao Jin is definitely not a guy worth protecting.

Let’s not mention stealing things for now, but was the master’s attempt to recruit him successful?

If not, at this stage, he is likely to be targeted and killed by the master because he has been close to the true identity of the master. If so, then there is a high probability that he will participate in the process of the truth from the perspective of a bad guy.

 If you have a wrong attitude when facing the master, you will directly face exposure and obliteration.

Compared to the previous one, the difficulty of this performance is definitely more than one and a half points higher.

No matter what Yu Xing was thinking, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in front of him couldn't understand it.

The young man only glanced at Yu Xing worriedly and muttered: "Xiao Jin, don't be afraid. There are only two of us now. You don't need to be so nervous. Mother Liang won't hear it."

As if he was afraid that Yu Xing would leave a shadow, he added: "I heard from the waiters that Mrs. Liang was going out to buy something at noon today. She should have left by now. Xiao Jin, don't be afraid, it hurts. Just tell me that you are my only friend and that I have enough medicine.”

Yu Xing curled his lips according to Xiao Jin's character: "Don't worry, Mother Liang really didn't hit me that much. You keep the medicine for yourself. You may need it someday."

"Um..." The young man thought for a moment, and for a moment he didn't know whether to be moved or to consider the possibility of being beaten in the future.

 Finally he gave up and no longer persisted: "Okay, but you must tell me if it hurts!"

Yu Xing casually hummed and sat down on his bed.

 This room is his current residence.

There are four beds inside, and naturally there are four servants living there, all of whom help Dr. Cui.

Dr. Cui is really busy every day. ·

There is a long-term patient in the Fang Mansion, the young master. Dr. Cui has to prepare medicine under the master's instructions every day. Others are fine and only have minor illnesses occasionally. However, the health-preserving decoctions of the master and his wife must also be prepared by Dr. Cui. Responsible.

 So helpers like Xiao Jin have a lot of work every day.

Xiao Jin can’t eat at noon today, but he still has to work.

The sad thing is that Yu Xing doesn’t know exactly what Xiao Jin does every day.

He could only wait for the young man in the room to come over and ask him to go somewhere with him to do things, and adapt accordingly.

 He ​​was sitting on the bed, as if he was absent-minded. The young man hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Well, I have to go to eat. Do you want to secretly bring you a steamed bun?"

　　　In a matter of seconds, Yu Xing's stomach growled at the right time.

 Yu Xing: “…Yes.”

　　The young man who received the reply left the room briskly. Yu Xing glanced at it and smelled a faint smell of rice on the tip of his nose.

 He quietly opened the door, stuck his head out and looked outside.

Next, people and the master's family definitely eat separately. There are several tables in the fourth courtyard. When it's meal time, all the servants who have nothing else to do will sit on this table and eat a big pot of rice together.

 Except for the servants who serve the master, madam, young master, etc., it is impossible for the housekeeper and Mother Liang to come here to eat.

Now, they have just set up the tables and chairs, the dishes cooked in the kitchen are being served, and everyone is immersed in the joy of cooking.

 The dishes in the cauldron are not bad. At least among the vegetarian dishes, you can see a little bit of oily broth.

The steamed buns were piled on a big plate. He saw the young man just now wrapping one up in a handkerchief and stuffing it into his arms.

"It's quite interesting." Looking at the young man's behavior, Yu Xing laughed and muttered that these people had enough food and soup to drink, but he was the only one who couldn't even eat. It was really pitiful, and then he retreated to the room. The door is closed tightly.

He didn't see the faces of Zhao Yijiu and Zhao Ruru. Thinking about it, either they were not playing ordinary servants, or, just like the newcomers during the competition, their appearance had completely changed in the eyes of others.

After all, this is a stage with hide-and-seek elements. If someone is recognized by the evil ghost and reports people from other teams to the evil ghost with the mentality of selling his teammates to survive a little longer, wouldn't it be a no-brainer?

Furthermore, he doesn’t look like someone who has just turned eighteen. If he doesn’t adjust his appearance, how can he not be noticed with his swaggering appearance?

Yu Xing became more and more sure of this guess and temporarily turned his attention away.

With so many servants in the yard at this time, does it mean that he can take the opportunity to search various rooms to see if he can find any clues?

 He quickly dismissed the idea.

Precisely because he is the only one who can move freely, it is too obvious that it is better to fish in troubled waters among the crowd.

What's more, it's possible that Liang's mother was disguised as an evil spirit and deliberately prevented him from eating, maybe just to test whether he would use this time to do something special.

Even if the identity card information clears up Mrs. Liang’s name, she still needs to be wary of ghosts.

 It just so happened that there was no one to disturb him now, so Yu Xing decided to stay calm and sort out the timeline at this time.

Now, the Fang Mansion is very popular, everything is normal, and there are no underworld incidents.

The young master is not dead yet, let alone Liu Xue and Liu Bingxian, but the master has been here for a year. If the master wants to make any preparations, it should be almost done.

The master and his wife are ambiguous, so there must be something strange about the wife. Otherwise, just taking advantage of the young master's illness will be enough for the master to gain a foothold in the Fang family. Forcibly seducing the wife is obviously unnecessary and risky.

 What is more worth mentioning is the young master.

Although he is not dead yet, he needs to drink medicine every day. Although the medicine was prepared by Dr. Cui, who seems to be fine at the moment, the master obviously had a hand in it, and the "medicine introduction" is very suspicious.

Rather than saying that the young master drinks medicine every day, Yu Xing believes that he drinks the chronic poison prepared by the master every day.

Hmm... Although this poison... was probably put in with the help of the character Xiao Jin.

In short, the next development should be that the young master eventually dies, and the master finds an excuse to persuade the Fang Mansion to hold a wedding for the dead young master. This is how Liu Xue turns into a ghost and massacres the Fang Mansion.

 So now, the most important thing to explore is the master's pharmacy, the process of Dr. Cui decoction, and what is the relationship between the madam and the master, and what is the madam's position in this matter.

Just as I was thinking about it, there were two knocks from the window at the back of the house.

Yu Xing raised his eyebrows and thought, something is coming.

He immediately covered his waist, his face turned pale to the naked eye, limped to the window, and reached out with difficulty to open the window.

With the inaudible sound of the window opening, a beautiful girl of about eighteen stood outside, looking at him expressionlessly.

The girl has her hair combed like a maid, but her clothes are very exquisite. She wears a pair of red coral earrings on her ears, which makes her whole face look like a peach blossom, which is very beautiful.

Just like this look, I always feel that there is a touch of disgust.

Yu Xing raised his head weakly, and when he moved, it seemed as if he had scratched some kind of wound, causing him to hiss.

The girl looked at this scene with a hint of understanding in her eyes, but she still said businesslikely: "Master asked you, since you didn't eat, why didn't you report the results of the mission?"

　　Okay, let’s face it, I am indeed not a good person.

Yu Xing had expected it, and now he groaned in pain, and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "I'm sorry... It's not convenient for me to move. I'm afraid of being seen on the road."

The girl frowned: "I heard that your hands were unsteady when you were serving the medicine today, and you spilled a little bit, which happened to be seen by Mother Liang who was passing by. But was that old woman really so harsh? She didn't care about your appearance. Can she hit the face she likes? "

The words were half suspicious and half surprised. Yu Xing secretly thought that Xiao Jin looked pretty good, and said against his heart: "She is already that age, so what I look like in her eyes is pretty much the same. She... hiss, She can't touch me."

I'm sorry, Mama Liang, your reputation has been criticized.

The girl snorted coldly and stopped worrying about it: "Forget it, considering that you were injured, I don't blame you for not reporting it. You did the right thing. Rather than being discovered on the road, it's better to wait. I'll come find you."

“Then let me ask you, how did you go about gaining Mama Liang’s trust?”

 She looked at Yu Xing and said, "...it must be bad, otherwise it wouldn't be..."

"Very good!" An eager look appeared on Yu Xing's face, "She did it because she trusted me. You don't know, she privately said that the master is ruthless. If I don't take the medicine properly and the master finds out, I will definitely be punished. It’s even heavier. You said that, doesn’t it mean she trusts me?”

 “Hmm.” The girl thought for a while and felt it made sense.

"Okay, get rid of the Ahu next to her as soon as possible. The medicine introduction needs to be obtained as soon as possible. If you can't do it, the master will replace you. Then your end will be... you understand, right?" She was young and threatening. She seemed to be very familiar with it, her pretty face turned gloomy, and she felt quite oppressive, "If I can use that old woman's sympathy to get you close to her... How about I try to break your legs?"

Yu Xing trembled and stiffened, looking hurt and scared. Finally, he shook his head desperately: "No, no, don't break my legs. I know it will be soon. I will succeed soon! I ensure!"

 The purpose of scaring people was achieved, and the girl left with satisfaction.

She came and walked from the back. Outside the house was the same lawn as in Liang Erni's dream. The girl stepped lightly on it and disappeared after a while.

Yu Xing closed the window, no longer hurting everywhere, and leaned comfortably on the corner of the table nearby.

“I was really dozed off and someone gave me a pillow. I see...”

 He almost guessed what Yao Yinzi was.
