All the leads had ended here. Su Qingwen really racked her brains for a long time but still had no clue. She sighed helplessly, not knowing how to continue the investigation.
[System: Host, calm down. Maybe you can start the investigation from other aspects. For example, you can find a new skill.]
"Do I have any new skills now? Should I activate the protagonist aura mode and then assume the identity of a detective?" Closing her eyes, Su Qingwen couldn't help indulging in wild fantasies.
[System: No. You're thinking too ideally. You'd better just go to sleep.]
"Pfft! It was you who misled me just now! And now you're pouring cold water on me. It's really too much!" Su Qingwen snorted and retorted.
[System: Well, I just wanted to tell you that since you successfully found the missing girl last time, a new skill has been unlocked. However, this time you need to obtain the skill through a lottery. I can only help you this far. What you draw out depends on your own luck.]
"So that's how it is." Su Qingwen nervously rubbed her hands. After all, she considered herself to have bad luck. No matter what lottery she participated in, she never got good results. But now there was no one else who could do it for her. Sighing, she stood up as if resigning herself to fate.
At this moment, five big red balloons appeared above Su Qingwen's head. They looked as if it were a wedding.
Someone twitched the corner of her mouth and couldn't help complaining, "What a mess!"
[System: What do you know? These are lucky balloons. The ability you can obtain is inside them. So you must choose carefully and don't make a mistake.]
"Okay." Knowing the importance of this, Su Qingwen immediately nodded impatiently and chose the one that looked the most pleasing to the eye.
With a flash of red light, Su Qingwen saw that her new ability was invisibility.
"This function seems a bit useless," Su Qingwen frowned, thinking that the invisibility function was really of no use. It couldn't be used for attack, nor for defense. It was hardly better than nothing.
[System: Stupid! Can't you use this system to do some things that you can't usually do?]
The system couldn't stand it anymore and reminded her.
Right! Su Qingwen suddenly realized and nodded. She slapped her palm hard and said, "Such a great thing. Why didn't I think of it? I'll go and see what Hua Yueye is doing right now!"
[System: Idiot! This function is for you to solve the case. If you can't find out the truth about this matter, I'll take back the function. Don't cry then.]
"What? Taking back something that has already been given to someone. I've never seen such a shameless system like you!" Su Qingwen scolded and then activated the new function. After a flash of white light, Su Qingwen returned to normal.
"Can others really not see me?" Su Qingwen turned around and asked suspiciously. Why didn't she feel any different?
[System: There are so many people outside. You can try. Not only can they not see you, but they can't even hear your voice. By the way, I have to remind you in advance that the invisibility has a time limit. It's only about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense. So if you have anything to do, go quickly.]
Su Qingwen nodded and swaggered out singing a little tune. Sure enough, just as the system had said, she didn't make any noise along the way.
But none of the servants noticed. Even when Su Qingwen kicked over a flowerpot, those people just thought it was the wind.
Finally, Su Qingwen nodded in satisfaction and headed straight for the Prince Rui's room.
At this moment, it seemed that the Prince Rui was not there. Su Qingwen quickly rummaged through the room, hoping to find some useful clues. Suddenly, under the Prince Rui's pillow, she saw a book about the remains of Rama.
Her eyes changed slightly. Su Qingwen remembered Hua Xue'er's question that day. The remains of Rama were a miraculous thing. At that time, the Prince Rui didn't show much interest. Unexpectedly, he was secretly reading such a book behind others' backs. Men's words really were unreliable.
"Wang San, be careful. This is the Prince Rui's Mansion. There are many servants here. Don't make too much noise."
Suddenly, a man's voice came from outside the window. Su Qingwen was startled and immediately looked back.
The man was wearing black clothes and a mask. It seemed that he was here to steal something. There was another man following him. The two of them sneaked inside furtively.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, obviously, they became bolder and began rummaging through things to look for something.
"Look! Isn't this an imperial robe?" At this moment, a man exclaimed in surprise.
Su Qingwen opened her eyes in disbelief and quickly stood on tiptoe to take a look. Sure enough, it was a dragon robe. The image of the flying dragon soaring in the sky was so obvious that it couldn't be denied. What on earth did the Prince Rui mean? He actually kept a dragon robe at home. Did he want to be the emperor himself?
"Do you think this thing is valuable?" Wang San scratched his head and asked doubtfully.
"Idiot! This is a hot potato. It's not valuable at all. Put it down quickly. Don't get yourself into trouble." The man beside him quickly threw down the dragon robe and continued rummaging through the valuable items in the room. "Let's look for something else."
"Right, right, right. We're just here for money. We don't want to do anything else." Wang San echoed and started his search.
Since seeing the dragon robe, Su Qingwen had been in a distracted state. The Prince Rui had hidden a dragon robe, and it was well - hidden. Either Hua Yueye had given it to him as a souvenir, or he had kept it for himself. Considering how secretly he had hidden it, it definitely wasn't the first possibility.
That meant the Prince Rui wanted to secretly keep the imperial robe and had the intention of rebellion.
Startled by her own thought, Su Qingwen's face turned a little pale.
[System: Host, friendly reminder. Your time is running out. There's only about a quarter of an hour left. You have to leave quickly.]
"Okay, I know." Su Qingwen stepped forward quickly, wanting to take the imperial robe as evidence.
Suddenly, there came a sound of footsteps at the door. Before Su Qingwen could react, she saw the door being pushed open, and Li Ruhua's face appeared in front of her.
Li Ruhua couldn't see Su Qingwen, but she saw the two black - clothed thieves. She opened her mouth in surprise and immediately shouted for help.
"Shut up!" The two stupid thieves were also panicked and actually wanted to pick up something to throw at Li Ruhua.
Su Qingwen had a strong sense of justice and naturally wouldn't just stand by. She snorted and smashed a vase on Wang San's head.
