On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Soon, Chen Mo, whose face was half-rested against Su Yuqing, also saw that unique angle.

This effect can only be seen from an angle that is either far enough or close enough, and the angle has to be just right.

He stood up straight in surprise and said, "It really is! The material of this jade is quite interesting."

At this moment, the other four people next to them did not see it at all.

Seeing that they also wanted to see it, Su Yuqing simply took off the jade from her neck so that everyone could see it more clearly. She then stepped back to Chen Mo's side and watched everything with a smile.

Su Yuqing had already noticed that the glass-like quality could be seen from a certain angle, so she herself wasn't particularly curious.

She just didn't realize that this was a characteristic of identifying causal jade.

Chen Mo looked at the female club member next to him and asked curiously, "Senior, is that ancient book you mentioned here?"

Chen Mo really wanted to read the book.

"No, I saw it in my grandfather's study in my hometown. I haven't been back for several years, so I don't know if that book is still there."

Hearing this, Chen Mo was intrigued. "Senior, could you help me find it? I'm willing to pay to borrow it; I'd like to read this book."

"No need to pay. If you're interested in these things, then we're kindred spirits. We all share our resources with each other for free. If you want to see them, I'll go back and look for them when I have time," the female member said to Chen Mo with a smile.

"Thank you so much! Let's add each other on WeChat so we can stay in touch."

Seeing that such a handsome junior wanted to add her on WeChat, this senior was naturally very happy to oblige.

The two immediately added each other on WeChat.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao and the others also saw that special angle, as if a piece of white jade had suddenly turned into a diamond.

That's really quite peculiar.

After returning the jade to Su Yuqing, the group couldn't help but sigh, "This jade is truly peculiar; it must be quite valuable."

Zhou Yue's family is quite wealthy; the gemstones in her parents' rings are worth eight figures, but jade of this caliber is something unheard of and unseen.

What's more, it's quite a large piece.

If a professional were to handle this, its value would be immeasurable.

"Yuqing, your family is very wealthy. How much does this jade cost?" Even though Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know much about jade, she felt that it must be very valuable.

Hearing the topic of her family background, Su Yuqing smiled helplessly and said, "My family is very ordinary. This was given to me by an old Taoist priest who thought I was destined to be with him. It's not something my family owns."

"Yuqing, don't be modest. Your phone and your clothes are all high-end items, at least four figures each," Zhou Yue said with a smile.

Hearing this, Su Yuqing shook Chen Mo's hand and said, "Chen Mo paid for all of this, and Chen Mo's mother brought this jade back with me."

Su Yuqing didn't shy away from admitting these things in public. Since the person belonged to the other party, what was wrong with admitting that other things also belonged to the other party?

As soon as he said that, everyone around him turned to look at Chen Mo. It turned out that this guy was the real tycoon.

"Wow, he's handsome and rich, it's such a pity he's already taken!" Lin Xiaoxiao teased.

"Even if it's unclaimed, it's not your turn," Zhou Yue said with a laugh. "With that hungry wolf look on your face, people will be scared away as soon as they see you." Hearing this, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed.

The topic quickly shifted, since it wasn't appropriate to continue discussing it. Everyone had some emotional intelligence, so after a few jokes, they chatted and laughed as they headed to the next area.

They then visited some other club booths, but still nothing interested them.

When they reached the last few booths, Chen Mo stopped in front of one booth, and the other five people subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked towards that booth.

This club is called the "Detective Club".

As soon as we stopped, a banner came into view that read: "Detective Club - There's only one truth, but clues are everywhere!"

The booth was set up like a miniature criminal investigation scene analysis center.

The background is a whiteboard covered with various simulated "case" photos: fake crime scenes, virtual character relationship diagrams, timelines, and various "suspicious points" circled in red.

There was also a display case next to it, which contained some basic props: magnifying glasses of different magnification, white gloves, evidence labels, and even a simple toolkit for simulating fingerprint collection and footprint identification.

The members were dressed very "normally," even meticulously.

They weren't actively recruiting; instead, they were simply engaging in "static displays" and "intellectual attraction."

In the center of the booth were several tables, each with a mini puzzle for passing freshmen to try and solve.

Unlike other clubs that actively recruit new members, they require members to pass tests before even joining. For example, you have to solve at least one of these puzzles before you can apply to join.

This has further reduced the number of members in the already niche clubs.

However, they still hold firm to their principles and will not compromise even a little in order to expand the club.

This is probably their detective spirit.

Before gathering enough clues and evidence, detectives will not compromise by identifying a murderer with incomplete information in order to solve the case ahead of time.

Chen Mo was instantly captivated by these puzzles.

The mystery club offers a wide variety of puzzles:

A logic grid puzzle: based on several textual clues, you need to deduce the different attributes of different characters.

A visual observation question: Two seemingly identical pictures have several subtle differences. You need to find all the differences.

A cipher-breaking challenge: Given a simple substitution cipher or Caesar cipher, the task is to decipher it to extract a short English or Chinese sentence.

A short verbal reasoning question: Describe a miniature scene and deduce the manner of death or the murderer's method.

Around each little puzzle were several freshmen, their brows furrowed and deep in thought. Some were writing and drawing with paper and pen, while others were discussing in hushed tones with their companions.

The club members observe from the sidelines, occasionally offering subtle hints, but never giving direct answers.

This made the atmosphere around the mystery club exceptionally quiet and focused, with only the scratching of pens on paper and the occasional soft gasp of sudden realization.

"This club looks interesting!" Zhou Yue was immediately drawn in; she had a natural fascination with puzzle games that required thinking. (End of Chapter)
