There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 646
Chapter 646: Chapter 557: Quite Graceful_3 Chapter 646: Chapter 557: Quite Graceful_3 Just then, the female scholar’s right hand reached toward her chest without warning!
Miss Wang subconsciously tried to block it but failed.
Smack!
The excessive force pressed directly onto her flat chest, causing Miss Wang’s body to jolt!
It felt soft and fluffy to the touch.
The female scholar even squeezed her fingers a bit.
Then, the atmosphere in the room fell silent.
...
Miss Wang looked at her with a peculiar expression, “Sister, if that’s your hobby, I’m not opposed to it at night…”
The female scholar, with a head full of imaginary sweat lines, retracted her hand and pulled down the white scarf she had around her neck; Miss Wang was startled and quickly moved her hands to cover her neck.
At this moment, the female scholar’s freed left hand also managed to obtain the white jade gourd.
Their brief face-to-face encounter ended with Miss Wang sporting an expression of sorrow and indignation.
The female scholar loosened the white scarf and unscrewed the cap of the jade gourd.
Sure enough, a talisman paper fell out.
She unfolded it, looked at it, and smiled knowingly.
“The birth date on the talisman paper inside the peach wood gourd belongs to the bride, and the one inside the jade gourd is yours.
One is for suppression and the other for protection, so you did this because you were afraid the bride would come to seek revenge at night?” the female scholar spoke leisurely.
“You guessed right!” It was Miss Wang’s turn to be irritated as she wrapped the white scarf around herself again.
“Wang Xiulian, your name is quite elegant.”
“Heh.”
“Besides these, is there anything else?”
The female scholar stuffed the two cinnabar talisman papers back into the gourd and said, “Just with this information, I cannot join you on an adventure tonight.”
Miss Wang had already finished tying the scarf and said disdainfully, “There is, but all related records and letters are kept in the Wang Family’s ancestral hall.”
The female scholar looked puzzled, “The Wang Family’s ancestral hall?
But aren’t the three families of Osmanthus Village sharing a common ancestral hall?”
The female scholar could have found out this information by herself.
“It’s different.
The Wang Family’s ancestral hall is where the Wang family genealogy is stored.
The village’s ancestral hall is only used for prayers and offerings,” Miss Wang explained, shaking her head.
“So you can take me there?” the female scholar asked.
“The defense is tight around there.
There’s always someone guarding the ancestral hall, and there are many of the Wang family’s eyes and ears along the way.
Your background is special, so walking over there openly could easily lead to trouble,” Miss Wang cautioned seriously.
“Oh~”
The female scholar had an epiphany.
So, does this mean we have to sneak over there?
Do we go now?
Or do we wait until tonight?
Right at this moment, a burst of noisy commotion suddenly came from outside.
It sounded like shouts from not too far away, but not like those of fear; instead, they were filled with overwhelming aggression, as if they were about to shatter something.

Even several messy footsteps rushed past the front of the house, sounding hurried.
Suddenly, the two inside looked at each other.
After a while, the sounds of sudden commotion receded, but faint noises from a distance were still discernible.
Miss Wang frowned slightly.
She walked forward, opened the door latch, and called out to the two people guarding the courtyard gate, “What happened outside?”
A servant hurriedly replied, “It seems that Tiezhu has killed someone at the Village Chief’s house, and everyone is worried he will flee and not take responsibility, so they’re rushing to catch the kid!”
Miss Wang was a bit confused at that.
Do you really need to send so many people?
And from the forceful commotion just now, it seemed that those who went also carried quite a few weapons.
So, is the intention to catch the person, or to beat them to death right there and then?
Miss Wang had a weird look on her face and closed the door again.
The female scholar mused, “It must be something that happened at the Village Chief’s place, especially since they were discussing the Osmanthus Tree in the courtyard just now.
In that case, why don’t we take action too?”
After thinking for a moment, Miss Wang nodded, “Let’s first get what we need, and then we’ll check out the situation at the Village Chief’s house.”
The female scholar asked, “So we go now?”
“Let’s go!”
The two immediately climbed out the window!
