Mo Xiaoyao felt that this person might be the John mentioned by Michelle before, who was in the same circus with him.
If it was just an ordinary member of the group, it would definitely not be brought up separately, but since there has been a dialogue, it almost means that this character is related to this plot.
In order not to expose himself, Mo Xiaoyao glanced at John for a few times, then withdrew his gaze, and continued to watch others go through the plot as a bystander.
Edward had been lifted up by the servants and placed on the sofa, and the fallen floor lamp and some other furniture had also been restored to their original positions under the servants' arrangement.
The window was still open, and there was no way to tell if it had been this way all the time, or if it was opened by someone who disturbed Edward. The dining car was on the side, and the top was already empty. The original tea set and meals were put on the coffee table. Mo Xiaoyao felt that the tea set was very familiar, and it was very similar to the one he played with before.
Near the window, there was a desk with some documents and things that looked like letters piled up on it. Mo Xiaoyao couldn't see what was written in detail, and he couldn't really walk over to look at those things under the eyes of everyone.
On the wall, there are two portraits of family portraits. In the left one, a middle-aged couple with blond hair and blue eyes is sitting in the middle, and two children with the same blond hair and blue eyes are standing on both sides of them.
Turning into a puppet did not affect Mo Xiaoyao's eyesight. With her eyes strengthened by the fortune cookie, she could easily see the not too small words written under the frame.
Richard Wright, Elizabeth Wright, Edward Wright, Michael Wright, July 1898.
Glancing at Edward, who was still muttering "someone is going to kill me", and the doctor who examined his body—it should be the "pervert Robert", Mo Xiaoyao confirmed that the middle-aged man in this family photo is unlikely to be edward.
The resemblance is certain, but it is the resemblance between immediate family members, and then related to the people and ages on the family photo on the right, it can be confirmed that one of the two blond-haired and blue-eyed children is Edward.
Maybe it's the older one, and given the worldview the script is set in, it's most likely primogeniture. Of course, the possibility of being the second son is not ruled out, if the eldest son unfortunately dies.
In the family portrait on the right, there are also four people, a middle-aged couple, a boy standing between them, and a younger girl standing a little further away.
The words below the frame read: Edward Wyden, Mary Wyden, Antonio Wyden, Zoya Wyden, painted in March 1919.
Now it is very clear that the middle-aged men and women in the family portrait on the left should be the old Leiden and his wife, who are the grandfather and grandmother of this body Zoya.
Mo Xiaoyao noticed that in the family portrait on the left, the family is all blond and blue-eyed, while the one on the right is much more interesting.
Four blondes, but three eye colors. Edward's blue, Lady Mary and Antonio's green, and Zoya's brown.
According to the biology that Mo Xiaoyao has roughly studied, Zoya's eye color should have followed her mother's, which is the puppet with brown eyes similar to Zoya's appearance seen in the pendant.
Considering the problem of dominant genes and recessive genes, if Antonio is Zoya’s half-brother, his eye color should not be green anyway—but there is a problem, in this dungeon, this design will definitely be followed Are you sure
Before Mo Xiaoyao could figure it out, Robert began to exercise his doctor's rights, or read his script.
"Your Excellency the Baron is fine, everyone go back, too many people will divide the fresh air and make His Excellency feel uneasy-Antonio, you stay, let the Baron have some dessert, or a cup of tea , contribute to his emotional stability."
Antonio nodded: "I will take good care of my father."
Afterwards, in the order of Mrs. Mary, Robert, Zoya, and Susannah, the puppets left Edward's bedroom and study. Mo Xiaoyao noticed that the male puppet with the scar on his face had disappeared, and he probably left quietly while the plot was going.
This time, the free time left for Mo Xiaoyao and others was not very long. They only had time to formally introduce themselves, and they were forced to separate again.
The task Mo Xiaoyao got was to return to the bedroom before 18:50, which was very simple, she had memorized the route before she came, and she didn't even need an arrow to guide her back at this time.
After going back, Michelle was already waiting in the room, obviously there was a lot of drama with her.
Mo Xiaoyao: "Oh, Michelle, are you okay? I was terrified by the commotion in my father's room just now."
Michelle: "Oh, don't worry, Zoya, I ran in time. He recognized me, and he called me Antonio, Lord of Hell, is this our father's arrangement?"
Mo Xiaoyao: "It's unbelievable! Why would he do this, you are his son."
Michelle: "But now the name 'Antonio' is occupied by another person!"
Mo Xiaoyao: "Michelle, my dear brother, what are you going to do?"
Michelle: "I have to think of some more ways to get him to admit it himself—his spirit is very unstable. After I sneaked into the room, I smelled a strange smell. If you add some hallucinations and other things, I'm sure enough—you know, I'm a circus master, and while my adoptive father never got my hands dirty, I still know what to use."
Mo Xiaoyao took a step forward and held Michelle's hand: "Michelle, that's too risky."
Michelle held Mo Xiaoyao backhanded: "But that's necessary, Zoya, I won't lie to you, I need this money. Now the sound of war is everywhere, and many people have been forcibly conscripted into the army. I The members of the troupe can no longer receive performance invitations, and there is almost no money in those villages—this is the only property left to me by my adoptive father, and it is also my most important responsibility.”
Mo Xiaoyao: "You are so kind, Michelle. I really hope that my mother is still there. If she can see her real son, she will be so happy."
Michelle: "Oh, mom, what a strange and kind name. I only have a foster father, not a foster mother. I grew up in a circus in my childhood. They took care of me. Now it's my turn to take care of them. If I If they can restore their true identity, they can get the money and land they deserve, so that the circus can last until the end of the war, and they don’t have to be kicked out, and they won’t have enough to eat.”
Mo Xiaoyao felt that, thanks to this undulating tone and being controlled, otherwise, she would be either laughing or crazy if she had a real voice and emotion.
The conversation stopped here, and both of them received a reminder that the task was completed, and then they had about 2 minutes of free communication time.
"I always feel that we are about to reach the critical point." Michelle was not polite. He ran back and forth this time, even if his body was made of wood, he felt that he was going to fall apart. "I always feel that the acting time is too long."
Mo Xiaoyao: "It's definitely not enough time to go out for a walk, let's exchange information first."
Michelle: "Since we are allies, I don't think there is anything to hide. John in my group is a bit suspicious and sneaky. He forced me a pack of cigarettes before. I don't smoke as a character. Just put it in your pocket, and you can’t throw it away.”
Mo Xiaoyao also told about Susanna and some inferences about genetics: "Susanna's identity is the maid left by Zoya's mother. She said that she watched Zoya grow up. She knows your identity. .Also, if you want to confirm this identity in the future, I think you can find it from the eye color. Zoya’s mother’s eye color is also brown, and dark color is usually a dominant gene. Both siblings followed their mother’s.”
Michelle nodded: "As my character, I know that doctor Robert. It seems that Robert helped him when he was down and down a few years ago. He should have been simple at that time, but now he is completely different."
Speaking of this, Michelle paused for a moment, her tone sounded a little weird: "Then what... When I went in to find him, he seemed to be smelling something that looked like women's underwear... Is this a clue?"
Mo Xiaoyao was expressionless—she couldn't make any expressions anyway—and said, "That's Zoya's corset. Robert's character is supposed to be a libertine, maybe we can find some clues if we break through here."
Michelle coughed twice and changed the subject: "Have you played murder mysteries before?"
Mo Xiaoyao nodded: "I haven't played it, I've only watched similar variety shows, and watched others play in the APP."
Michelle: "Then I'm relieved, at least you know what's going on - I guess this copy must be done, but I don't know who the murderer and the deceased will be."
Mo Xiaoyao: "...Usually when the script of a murder mystery starts, the person is already dead. I guess it is because we entered the copy in a different way this time, so we will first perform such a long series—do you think this ███████ …”
Michelle blinked and curled her fingers to make a question mark.
Mo Xiaoyao found himself unable to say the words "Miss Lu's invitation", as if blocked by something special.
Reminiscent of the benefit dungeon for one player, but there are so many extra players out of thin air, Mo Xiaoyao realizes in his heart that maybe different players have different dungeon names—for himself, this is a benefit that will not die A dungeon, but for them, it might be the kind of dungeon in "Game Today".
But even so, Mo Xiaoyao didn't want to admit defeat casually, even if the dungeon loser might pay the price with his life.
Seeing that Michelle was still waiting for him, Mo Xiaoyao thought for a while, and replaced the name with the word "duplicate". Anyway, it has been mentioned several times before, so it doesn't make sense that it can't be used now.
"According to the game sequence of the murder mystery, we are still at the stage of self-introduction, and we estimate that the progress will speed up after the victim appears in the dungeon—what we can't hide or destroy will be unfavorable evidence. This kind of thing You have it, I have it, everyone has it, but I don’t know how to search for evidence.”
Mo Xiaoyao closed her mouth after finishing the long list. She felt a little uneasy in her heart, and she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell where it was, so she could only take one step at a time.
Michelle agreed with Mo Xiaoyao's opinion, and the two continued to exchange some information they collected that "you can tell your allies, it doesn't matter".
Soon, the free exchange time ended, Michelle was arranged by the system, left Zoya's bedroom in the small courtyard, and returned along the way she came.
Five minutes later, at exactly 19:00, there was a shrill cry from the manor.
"Antonio!!!!"
At the same time, a familiar system voice appeared in Mo Xiaoyao's mind.
