Chapter 125 - COMBINING CURRENT EVIDENCE (2/2)

Duan Yu nodded.  Then he noticed the sudden envious glare Noctis gave him.  He smiled.  ”I have other useful skills, not just that one.  How about you, Noctis, what Temporary Skills did you get?”

Luo Yan was not stupid not to hear the taunt in those words.  So he smiled back.  ”Why, Uriel, are you interested in seeing the skills of the number one courtesan in this town?  I have no problem with that.  But you have to pay for my services first.  Though I must warn you, I'm very, very, very expensive.  You might not even be able to afford a single dance.”

Duan Yu wasn't able to retort fast enough.  Before he thought of something to say, Noctis already removed his attention from him.  He shook his head.  Well, if there's one thing that the guy was obviously good at, it's making smartass comeback.

While the first thought that Shen Ji Yun had was; how many crystal coins should he give to the rabbit so he could see that beautiful dance once again?  Then he almost punched himself.  Just where did that thought come from?  Seriously, this past month, it felt like there's been a hole inside his brain making him produce all these weird thoughts.

So he just chose to go back straight to the topic at hand.  ”What is the first thing that come to your mind when you're presented with these clues?”

”That the Wei Kingdom was the one responsible for the two assassination attempt.  That they were the ones responsible for the evidence the crown prince found which led him to attend the banquet.  They planned to use this event to get rid of the crown prince.  Some of the courtesans from Yuexing Pavilion probably have a connection to Wei.  They might be spies cultivated and placed in the pavilion, activated when needed.  With these, it could answer the first and second mystery,” Luo Yan said which wasn't denied by the other two.

”And with the third mystery, we could say that the second young miss didn't hang herself but was killed by the fiancé and the maid,” Duan Yu added.  ”But would it be really that easy?”

”No,” Shen Ji Yun answered straight.  ”If it was, then there would be no need for us to investigate.  I doubt these mysteries would be solved with just the players combining the current information they have.”

”So let's investigate,” Luo Yan said.  ”I'll go and talk with the other courtesans, find out who threw that dagger and poisoned the old prince.  A lot of our questions would be answer if we find her or them.”

”I'll go with him.  Since I'm ordered by the crown prince to watch over his every move,” Shen Ji Yun said.

Duan Yu had a feeling that even if the crown prince didn't give that order, YUN would still follow Noctis.  But he didn't voice that out and said, ”Then I guess I'll go check the dead second young miss.”

”It's 7:40 in the evening.  We still have four hours and 20 minutes to solve this,” Shen Ji Yun said.  ”Let's go.”

And the three of them walked out of the room.
