Chapter 49 Murder Case Reconstruction

Yu Jiu successfully joined the group chat.

She went in and looked at the group member list.

Good heavens!! It really is!!

The group leader's nickname in the group chat was those six glaringly obvious characters: "Happy Wang Dare-Gan"...

Watching the CP fans still discussing in the group whether Gu Yishen and Luo Jia could withstand the pressure of public opinion and ultimately "become a couple" if they really had some kind of relationship (which I can't write about here)...

What's even funnier is...

This is still far from being finalized, and some of the more sentimental girls in the group have already started sobbing and expressing their sympathy for the guys...

At that moment, Yu Jiu stared at the chat interface and felt a sense of disorientation, as if he were "looking at the world with drunken eyes, seeing everyone else as drunk while he alone is sober."

Yu Jiu returned to the scene and stood aside, gazing at Luo Jiayin from afar.

What will Luo Jia's "boyfriend" who has captured the hearts of countless young girls think if one day everyone discovers that he is actually a beautiful young woman?

...

On set.

In the final identification of the murderer, because Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen cooperated so well as to be like Sherlock Holmes and Watson in their reasoning, the guests listened to Luo Jiayin's opinion and voted for Lin Manxi in the final round of voting.

Lin Manxi, on the other hand, symbolically cast her vote for Wei Lan.

What if it's not symbolic? What can she do?

It doesn't matter who she votes for; it's still four votes to one...

The answer was then revealed: the murderer was indeed Lin Manxi.

The guests cheered with joy at successfully identifying the murderer, while Lin Manxi, who was identified, stepped forward and helplessly awaited her "punishment by fate."

The big screen began playing a pre-recorded video clip that the production team had asked other actors to film, revealing the truth of the whole incident.

Young Master Wei's plan for today was to poison Wei Shining with a poison made from Sumeru Root. When he was greeting guests at the door, he discovered that Master Lin, whom he had always disliked, had brought wine.

So, after the guards examined the poison, they secretly slipped it into the wine when the servants brought it.

However, since Young Master Wei was not proficient in pharmacology, when he went out to buy congratulatory gifts but actually went to collect Sumeru Root, he only collected inferior Sumeru Root. Therefore, Wei Shining did not die from poisoning after drinking the wine, but only became weak and unable to move.

Later, the fox spirit Jin'er, disguised as the Master of Manor Lin, sneaked into Wei Shining's room and found him already powerless.

At first, she worried that Wei Shining was pretending to be weak, so she pretended to go over and help him.

While helping him up, "Master Lin" discovered that Wei Shining was indeed weak from poisoning, and Wei Shining also realized from the fragrance on her body that the "Master Lin" in front of him was not the real Master Lin.

Wei Shining struggled to his feet, intending to activate the spirit-binding array set up in his room.

But before he could make a move, the fox demon, disguised as Master Lin, stabbed him in the chest with a dagger engraved with Young Master Wei's name, killing him.

Wei Shining was weakened by the poison of the Sumeru Root and had no power to resist, so he was eventually killed by "Master Lin".

After killing Wei Shuning, "Master Lin" noticed footsteps approaching outside. He then transformed into Wei Shuning's appearance, hid his body under the bed, and then lay down on Wei Shuning's bed, pretending that Wei Shuning was taking a nap.

The door to the room was opened, and Pan Wuji entered.

Thinking Wei Shining was taking a nap, she used a poisoned hairpin to stab Wei Shining in the neck.

Although "Master Lin" is a fox demon and cannot be affected by poison, he can still feel the pain of being pricked.

Pan Wuji thought her plan had succeeded. After fleeing the room in a panic, she took off a human skin mask when no one was around, wanting to rest for a while. She was nervous and short of breath.

At this moment, Gu, the guard, who was carrying a dagger and a handkerchief soaked in sleeping potion, intended to assassinate Wei Shining. However, he happened to see the true face of Pan Wuji, who looked exactly like his beloved Zhao Wanyu, and thought that Zhao Wanyu was not dead.

So he abandoned his murder plan and decided to ask Pan Wuji for clarification.

Unexpectedly, after resting, Pan Wuji found Young Master Luo at the corner and planned to kill him as well. She lured him closer and then stabbed him with her hairpin when he was off guard.

Pan Wuji's Soul-Devouring Ointment would kill an ordinary person instantly if they were poisoned by it. Therefore, feeling threatened, Young Master Luo instantly transformed into a "Puppet Demon" to save himself and repelled Pan Wuji with a single palm strike.

The nervous guard picked up Pan Wuji, but didn't see who had hurt her around the corner. Later, the old woman from Miaoyinfang came looking for her, and Pan Wuji was taken back by the old woman to continue rehearsals.

After everyone outside left Wei Shining's courtyard, "Master Lin," who had been disguised as Wei Shining and hiding in the room, dealt with the crime scene.

She moved Wei Shuning's body from under the bed back onto the bed, covered it with a blanket, and used the pen that Young Master Wei had given Wei Shuning as a congratulatory gift on the desk to poke a hole in the same spot on Wei Shuning's neck, in order to cover up the fact that Pan Wuji had not pricked Wei Shuning himself when she entered.

After doing all this, the fox demon Jin'er transformed back into the face of Master Lin and left Wei Shining's room, where she found Young Master Luo lying unconscious in the courtyard.

Although Young Master Luo also harbored murderous intent towards Wei Shining, he cared more about stealing the Azure Water Pearl to revive Yue'er.

He believed that if the Azure Pearl were stolen today, with so many guests at the birthday banquet, Wei Shining would absolutely not suspect him.

So at 3:45, Young Master Luo put "mind-controlling powder" into Wei Shuning's tea, planning to wait an hour for the drug to take effect before entering Wei Shuning's room to steal the Azure Water Pearl.

Unexpectedly, after being attacked by Pan Wuji, he transformed into a puppet demon and fell into a coma, losing consciousness. When he woke up, he saw "Master Lin" who had finished dealing with the crime scene.

Seeing that the time was up, he quickly sent "Master Lin" away and then secretly sneaked into Wei Shining's room to steal the Azure Water Pearl.

When Young Master Luo saw Wei Shining lying on the bed, he realized that, just as Luo Jiayin had said, he was actually a corpse.

The knife wound on Wei Shining's chest was covered by the blanket, so Young Master Luo, who was so eager to find the Azure Pearl, did not notice anything unusual.

After successfully stealing the Azure Pearl, Young Master Luo left Wei Shining's room.

The video continued until the words "5:20 PM" appeared on screen, and the image finally froze in Wei Shining's room before slowly turning black.

A piercing scream rang out from the completely black screen.

"Oh no! Oh no! Someone come quick! The master... the master is dead!!"
