Absurd Deduction Game

Chapter 274 Long-cherished wish (6) - Strategy

 The night time passed quickly, and Yu Xing really fell asleep. In his daze, he seemed to hear the sound of the system ringing in his ears. It seemed that the second team had entered, and the current number was 5/8.

This time was chosen well, at least he could adapt to the role quietly. If he entered the deduction when the meta-character was interacting with others like him, if he reacted slower, he might be discovered by the evil ghost hiding in the dark.

Yu Xing turned over in his sleep, woke up briefly, and then fell into the thin cold quilt again.

People say that there is no need to sleep for a long time while alive. After death, you will sleep forever.

 But he can’t die, so why can’t he like sleeping?

 The next morning, he was woken up by Agui.

However, Agui seemed a little confused after waking him up as usual, because they were all assistants of Dr. Cui. Dr. Cui is dead now, what work are they doing today?

"Since it's okay, I'll sleep a little longer..." Yu Xing relied on the fact that he was a "wounded person" and wanted to lie down again.

However, the madam did not let him get what he wanted. After a while, the housekeeper with a proud face knocked on their door and informed that the madam had ordered them to help in the kitchen and accounting room today, and specifically named Yu Xing: " Xiao Jin, Mother Liang said that you are smart and experienced, so you can go to her place to help with the purchase. "

"I know, thank you, Mr. Butler, and thank you, Mother Liang." Yu Xing showed a hint of happiness, but kept it down. The butler sneered: "Look at you, what did you look like before, and what do you look like now? You've really gone back in time."

Before the former housekeeper was kicked out by the master, this housekeeper and Xiao Jin had about the same status. Now, one has become a powerful figure, and the other has been reduced to being an assistant to the wet nurse.

Yu Xing ignored his sarcasm, tidied up and went to report to Liang's mother.

He now knows that Young Master Fang has murderous intentions towards him. Although he doesn't know where this hostility comes from. It's just that someone created a misunderstanding and provoked a dispute behind his back. But he doesn't need to care about it now. Anyway... the Young Master is going to die. people.

After being shown the way, he saw Mother Liang in the garden. The sun had just risen. Mother Liang was standing in the garden picking osmanthus flowers.

It was the season when sweet-scented osmanthus was blooming. Mother Liang folded a dozen or so osmanthus flowers and put them in a basket, muttering that she would send them to Madam’s room later. When she saw him coming, she waved at him: “What are you doing so slowly! ?come over."

Yu Xing walked over obediently: "Good morning, Mother Liang."

"Good morning, I can't feel at ease at all. Each of you can make me mad to death." Mother Liang was still fierce in front of him, but this time it was not directed at him, but at Ahu, "Ahu That careless thing, if you give him a list and ask him to buy it, he will buy it wrong. It is really not suitable to buy, and you will get an advantage. "

Yu Xing smiled gratefully.

 Whether Ahu was careless or had other reasons, he obviously preferred the latter.

 Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that when the master asked him to take Ahu's place, Ahu made a mistake and gave Yu Xing a chance?

"I have to buy something again today that I didn't buy yesterday." Mother Liang held up the small basket, thought for a moment, and stuffed the basket into Yu Xing's hand, "You send this to Madam, I'll go back and prepare some things. I'll be there soon." Set off and try to come back for lunch.”

"Okay." Yu Xing took the basket, the tip of his nose was filled with the strong fragrance of osmanthus. He turned around neatly, showing that the injury was no longer serious, and there was only a slight bump in his walk.

The madam's room and the master's room were connected together. Opposite were the young master's bedroom and study. When he walked over, the young master was reading in the study. The door was not closed, but only slightly opened.

Yu Xing glanced over from the corner of his eye and saw that Young Master Fang was not studying hard as he seemed. Instead, he had his head lowered and his dark eyes were staring at him through the crack in the door.

"..." He pretended not to notice and knocked on the lady's door. After the maid opened the door, the lady slowly walked to the door.

 “Why are you here?” The beautiful woman has a gorgeous face and a slim figure. Although she is in her thirties, she is more attractive than a twenty-year-old girl.

Yu Xing considered his attitude and handed the basket over in an upright manner: "Mama Liang just picked this. Let me bring it to you."

Madam took it with one hand, her nails carefully maintained were crystal clear. She chuckled: "It's not bad, it smells very good. Are you going shopping with Mother Liang today?"

Yu Xing answered every question: "Yes."

"Remember, you look good, and you should do what the master told you as soon as possible." After the lady finished speaking, she turned around. The maid beside her looked at her carefully and closed the door gently.

 …

The streets outside Fang Mansion were very lively. It was the first time that Yu Xing got a glimpse of the normal appearance of the world. The pedestrians were rushing around, as if he had really returned to that turbulent era.

A batch of silk will be repurchased in the next few days. My wife has very high requirements for the quality of the clothes, and there must be no mistakes in the patterns and colors she wants.

The designated shop was some distance away from Fang Mansion. Mother Liang bought some meat buns on the street, rented a car, and went to the famous funeral street nearby with Yu Xing.

The setting of this street is very familiar to Yu Xing. When the parallel line of death first started, he appeared alone at the end of the alley.

It’s just that now this street is full of life. Even though there are still white money floating in the air and incense candles standing everywhere, you don’t feel the weirdness and silence at all. Compared with the first stage, the scene here is a little more primitive.

I think it is because Master Fang’s ghost has been wandering with time for too long, and some modern things are mixed in his memory, which makes the created small world integrate different feelings.

Mother Liang's husband also opened a shop on the funeral street, and spent all the money he earned on gambling. Even his daughter was exposed to this funeral culture early on.

In the car, Mother Liang said fondly: "Xue'er is very well-behaved. She is better at making paper dolls than her father, and she helped make a lot of money. It's a pity...his father didn't let her live a good life. I do not have either."

Yu Xing said with relief: "Sooner or later, your husband will understand you."

After getting out of the car, the driver of the car ran away. Mother Liang walked into a paper figurine shop and asked Yu Xing to follow her.

Before Yu Xing went in, he saw many paper figures, large and small, all looking at him with empty eyes.

 Among them, there are the ugly paper figures dressed in colorful clothes like those in the first stage.

There were few customers entering the store in the morning, and the man in the store was busy sorting out the ledgers. Yu Xing recognized Liu Bingxian at a glance.

Mother Liang gave Liu Bing a lukewarm greeting and asked, "Where's Xue'er?"

"In the inner room." When Liu Bing saw Liang's mother, an eager smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Didn't you just come here yesterday? Why is there... today? Did you miss the money yesterday?"

Mama Liang laughed angrily: "I am just a money bag to you! I have no money today. All my money for a month was given to Xueer yesterday. Don't think about whether I have anything or not."

Liu Bingxian’s smile was a little cold, and then he glanced at Yu Xing: “Who is this?”

“I’m Mama Liang’s new helper, you can just call me Xiao Jin.” Yu Xing introduced herself, and then she heard Mama Liang shouting from the back room: “Don’t stand outside, come in!”

Of course, these words were not meant for Liu Bingxian. Yu Xing obediently walked into the small door at the back of the store and pushed it open. Inside the door was a small, cramped space with only a wooden table and a wooden chair. A dozen or so untied paper figures fell to the ground. A long-haired girl sat on the wooden chair, using tools. A paper man made an arm.

Yu Xing's arrival attracted the girl's attention. She looked up and was a little surprised to see that the person who appeared this time was not the elder brother her mother usually brought with her.

"This is?"

Mother Liang stood aside and did not answer. Instead, she handed her the meat buns she bought: "You haven't had breakfast yet? Eat it while it's hot. Mom just bought it."

 She turned to Yu Xing and said, "This is my daughter, Liu Xue."

Then he said to Liu Xue, who was wiping his hands clean and holding the meat buns and eating them with relish: "This is my bride's helper. You can call him Xiao Jin. This kid works quickly and has a very smart mind."

"Xiao Jin...Hello, brother." Liu Xue looked at Yu Xing. For some reason, she subconsciously didn't want to chew the bun so rudely. Her face turned red, and then she lowered her head.

"Hello." Yu Xing showed Xiao Jin's good disguise and smiled.

"Xue'er, mom just stopped by to see you again. Don't make yourself miserable. The money I gave you is in the hope that you will live a better life. Don't give it to Liu Bingxian, that old gambling dog!" Mother Liang's always strong look Liu Xue showed a rare expression of concern here. She gave a few more instructions and left with Yu Xing.

He keenly noticed that when he stepped out of the store door, Liu Xue seemed to poke her head out and glance at him.

　　　…”

As an old monster with a very powerful ability to control people's hearts, Yu Xing instantly understood what the lady wanted him to do.

I'm afraid that leaving the shopping to Mama Liang was not as grand as the superficial reason for taking extra care of her because she was a wet nurse, but that she had taken a liking to Liu Xue early on, so she asked Mama Liang to do the shopping, so she dropped by to see Liu Xue as a matter of course.

 And he is the one...who wants to lure Liu Xue into Fang Mansion.

The master must have realized that Liu Xue was different, so he staged a long and circuitous play that would not be revealed, trying to use him to lure Liu Xue into the house quietly, because if he said it directly If so, Mother Liang would never agree if she loves her daughter so much.

●The master’s layout spans several years...it’s also a long time.

Yu Xing frowned slightly. Although he guessed the intention of the master and his wife, some changes must have happened. Otherwise, how could there be no trace of Mother Liang in the first and second stages?

Even for Liu Xue's revenge, there was no portrait of "Xiao Jin" in the mourning hall.

If Xiao Jin really used his feelings to deceive Liu Xue and let Liu Xue marry the ghost of Master Fang after his death, the person Liu Xue hates most is definitely him, a scumbag.

 After Liang’s mother bought the silk, they returned to Fang Mansion before lunch.

Yu Xing was sitting at the long table eating, and found that Ahu looked at him with something inappropriate.

There was a ferocity in Hanhan's appearance, as if he was complaining that Yu was lucky enough to take away such a good job from him, forcing him to do chores.

He looked at Ahu with a look of disdain, which made Ahu almost stand up and start a fight with him on the spot. However, Agui had the better eyesight and shouted to stop Ahu. Many people looked at him. He, Ahu, then continued to eat angrily.

Yu Xing now has a leisurely job. After eating, he has no work for the time being. In the afternoon, he has to help Liang's mother count the goods and hand them over to various departments in the government.

 Agui was assigned to work in the kitchen, while the other two young men went to the accounting room, and he was the only one in the room.

No one said they wanted to change rooms. The host probably didn’t have the time to take care of such a trivial matter. The housekeeper was more troublesome than less. It was annoying just to look at them, so Yu Xing got a lot of time alone.

He found an opportunity when no one was paying attention, slipped into the fifth courtyard, and entered the master's room with the master's permission.

At that time, the master was writing and drawing on a piece of fine white paper, as if he was making calculations. The half mask never left his face, and a pleasant voice slowly flowed out of his throat: "How is it?"

Yu Xing replied with a snake oil: "Everything goes well."

The master glanced at him.

 “What happened last night?”

Yu Xing estimated that Xiao Jin's attitude towards the master should be a bit forbearing and a little fearful, rather than truly respectful. He adjusted the subtle expressions on his face and told the master exactly what happened last night.

After listening to this process, the corners of the master's mouth slightly raised, revealing a scary smile that showed that everything was under control: "Oh, it's the disobedient young master Fang who is protesting."

 “Is it Master Fang?” Yu Xing looked very surprised.

“Do you know... what Young Master Fang thinks of Dr. Cui?” The master’s tone was calm, but the pen in his hand was put aside for the time being.

"have no idea."

The master chuckled softly: "You are not that stupid. Tell me what you think."

Now that the master had taken the initiative to fill in his character, Yu Xing still hesitated for a while, and then whispered: "I think it was the master who revealed that Dr. Cui's medicine was harmful to him during his interaction with Master Fang. Master Fang believed it and became murderous towards Dr. Cui. "

"You're half right. Are you afraid that I'll think you're too smart and kill you to silence you, so you're half wrong on purpose?" The master waved Yu Xing over. Yu Xing slowly moved over, and his chin was pinched. "Don't worry, it's exactly the right thing." I kept you because I liked your brain. I would have killed you a long time ago, but I still let you live until now?"

The master's hand is very strong, as if he is punishing him for his overestimation and self-righteousness.

"Young Master Fang is a smart man like you. He has known for a long time that I want his life, but he thinks that Dr. Cui is also mine." He stared at Yu Xing's face, "He can't touch me. I can only resist in this way, killing Dr. Cui and then putting the blame on you, killing two birds with one stone."

Yu Xing responded in this controlled manner: "That young master Fang is really smart."

"But he is destined to be unable to escape." Master Shi Shiran let go, "Madam was watching him every step of the way, not even letting him close the door to the study. Last night, she was negligent."

 Madam... As expected, Madam is an insider.

Yu Xing stood for a while longer, and the master lost interest in continuing to talk to him, so he waved his hand and let him go out.

The moment I stepped out of the door, the master's voice came faintly: "Beware of shadows."
