Chapter 119 Luo Jia Demands a Body Search

Thus, during the concentrated reasoning segment, Yang Yang explained the ins and outs of finding the guarantee in his pillowcase, and also provided a reasonable explanation for the missing fishing line.

Although people were skeptical of her statement, it at least cleared her of some of the suspicion.

So, Yang Yang's performance today was either a response she had come up with while reading the script these past two days, or it was simply because she is quick-witted. As a complete novice, her improvisation on the show was truly outstanding.

After Yang Yang finished speaking, Ren Haoyu and Wei Lan also presented some clues they had found in this segment.

Compared to the more targeted searches conducted by the previous guests, these two individuals did not have a specific target in their search; each of them simply made some discoveries within their own environment.

Ren Haoyu found a damaged portrait in the room of "Master Lu". From the remaining outline, it can be vaguely seen that it looks somewhat similar to "Concubine Yang".

In the room of "Daoist Luo Chenzi", he also found a portrait of a woman.

The portrait was also so old that it was difficult to discern the subject's true appearance. However, at the bottom of the portrait, the words "the seventh year of Kaiyuan" were written.

At "Young Master Gu's" place, Ren Haoyu found several empty envelopes that had already been opened. The letters inside were nowhere to be found, and only a faint scent of osmanthus remained on the envelopes.

Ren Haoyu guessed that perhaps a guest had already searched the room before him and then took out the letters from the envelopes. However, the scent on the envelopes still made him a little suspicious, so he took pictures of the empty envelopes.

He also found a "List of Courtesans of Hua Man Lou" at "Young Master Wei's" place, and the page with information about a girl named "Lan Niang" was folded up.

As for Wei Lan, he didn't find much useful information. He only found some clues from "Patriarch Ren" about how Patriarch Ren had sought medical treatment for female infertility many times when he was young.

There is also testimony that after the Ren and Lu families became related by marriage, the head of the Ren family repeatedly spent money to send letters to the Lu residence.

However, in "Young Master Gu's" room, Wei Lan discovered that in his cabinet, just like in the case of the deceased Madam Lu, there was a scabbard that had been sealed away for many years, and the matching dagger was also nowhere to be found.

After all the guests had shared their findings and deductions, Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen also presented the clues they had collected.

Next, based on the clues obtained so far, the guests present expressed their opinions and reasoning, but all of them seemed to be refuted by the doubts raised by Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen.

Luo Jiayin believes that, so far, the evidence they have is insufficient to prove the truth about Ren Ning'er's murder, let alone the cause of death of the Lu family's eldest wife, which is completely unknown.

Moreover, this evidence points more to the possible motives and possibilities of each of them as suspects, rather than direct evidence.

Therefore, Luo Jiayin felt that if they wanted to find more convincing evidence, they still needed to continue the search and look for more clues.

However, after the first group deduction, each of them still needs to vote in a closed setting to choose the person they suspect is most likely to be the murderer.

During the voting process, Luo Jiayin didn't even think twice before throwing her vote into the ballot box with her name on it.

Gu Yishen stood in front of a row of boxes for a moment, then cast his vote for Yang Yang. Lu Ziye also voted that Yang Yang was the murderer.

Yang Yang didn't hesitate and cast her vote for Lu Ziye, while Wei Lan and Ren Haoyu voted for each other.

This gives Yang Yang two votes, Luo Jiayin, Wei Lan, Lu Ziye, and Ren Haoyu one vote each, and Gu Yishen zero votes.

The program then proceeded to the second on-site evidence collection segment.

During the second search, in addition to continuing to search the scene, the guests were allowed to search the suspects.

Just as Song Rui announced the start of the next segment, and the guests were preparing to disperse to continue searching for clues, Luo Jiayin stopped Ren Haoyu and Wei Lan, who were about to leave.

Her purpose was clear: she wanted to search her.

Wei Lan and Ren Haoyu exchanged a glance, looking strangely bewildered.

Gu Yishen, who was also about to leave to look for clues, paused when he heard that Luo Jiayin was going to search Wei Lan and Ren Haoyu. He felt a strange, inexplicable discomfort.

It wasn't a physical discomfort, but rather a psychological unease that I felt for no apparent reason.

There were five male guests on site, four of whom were excluding Luo Jia himself.

Lu Ziye is from Sega, and he came to this episode in place of Lin Manxi, so it's normal for Luo Jia to be somewhat resistant to him.

But……

Why didn't Luo Jia search him?!

It seems that Luo Jia and those two guys, Wei Lan and Ren Haoyu, have never had any interaction, right?

He was clearly the one most familiar and "intimate" with Luo Jia, the one who was closest to her, so why did Luo Jia single him out and brazenly search Wei Lan and Ren Haoyu?

Doesn't Luo Jia know he should "avoid suspicion"?!

Has he forgotten that the internet is flooded with rumors about the two of them, and all those CP fans? What, is he just going to ignore it all?!

Thinking about this, Gu Yishen couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

He was unhappy, but he couldn't express it.

Gu Yishen didn't know why he had such strange thoughts, but he just felt uneasy all over.

He didn't want to show his displeasure, fearing that Luo Jia would think he was being petty and deliberately causing trouble.

And so, our movie star Gu could only stand there with a cold face, watching Luo Jia's every move.

Wei Lan and Ren Haoyu were a little helpless, but this was the procedure of the show. Since Luo Jia requested a body search, they naturally had to cooperate.

Ren Haoyu, in a carefree manner, took the first step forward and then spread his arms, indicating that he would be the first to be searched by Luo Jiayin.

Luo Jiayin sized up Ren Haoyu before making her move.

Gu Yishen watched Luo Jiayin's actions from the side, took a deep breath, and then suddenly walked over to talk to her, interrupting Luo Jiayin's next move.

"You want to search them?"

Luo Jiayin glanced at Gu Yishen and said irritably, "Of course! You're a veteran player, don't you know that suspects sometimes hide evidence on their person? If I don't look for clues, do you expect me to take advantage of them?"

Upon hearing Luo Jiayin's words, Wei Lan, who was standing next to her, chuckled, and even Ren Haoyu, who was waiting for Luo Jiayin to "favor" him, couldn't help but chuckle.
