"This isn't mine!"

Lu Xiaoyao was stunned!

What exactly did Mu Chen take out?!

However, even if she wasn't particularly bright, just by observing the change in the way the other players looked at her after receiving the rehearsal positioning diagram from Mu Chen, she should have realized—she was in deep trouble!

[Oh my god! How come the Arbitrator has this formation in this round?!]

[My god?! This guy really knows how to play the game. Now that he's got this picture, he's going to do everything he can to smear it and clear his name, right?]

【What? What are you guys talking about? What's wrong with this picture?】

[How to "clean up" the mess? What does this mean? Is the big boss also a murderer?]

[Forget it, there's no point in commenting. This game has a lot of details. If you guys don't understand, go back and check out the game walkthroughs on the forums. Let's just watch it like this for now. I just want to see how this game goes.]

The live chat exploded when Mu Chen suddenly pulled out an object that looked like some kind of crucial evidence.

Mingmei didn't understand some of the words inside, but she knew that this thing shouldn't be in Mu Chen's hands!

[Hey, what's a 'judge'?]

Mingmei took the opportunity to ask Guigui.

[Does the host want me to spoil the plot?]

Mingmei: [...Never mind.]

Mingmei decided that if she still didn't understand the plot by the end of the game, she would go and read the plot analysis after the game ended.

Even if I stay up all night tonight and fall asleep in class tomorrow, I don't care!

However, Mingmei also sensed that this game was really strange.

The eerie normalcy, the eerie ordinariness, all hinted at something amiss.

"If we had this map, it would certainly make sense."

Over there, Lou Jia nodded at the map that Mu Chen had taken out. When Lu Xiaoyao, who had been confused since Mu Chen took out the map, met Lou Jia's gaze again, she seemed to understand the look in his eyes.

But it's better not to have understood it at all!

Lou Jia was actually blaming her with his eyes?

The other party actually felt that he had been lied to.

This is a terrible injustice to Lu Xiaoyao!

Just as Lu Xiaoyao was on the verge of tears and wanted to explain herself, she heard that familiar phrase she had heard at the beginning—

"Ms. Deer-woman A, you are under arrest."

This time, the crisp "snap" sound came very quickly. As soon as Lu Xiaoyao heard the sound, she looked down and saw that handcuffs had been put on her wrists.

The police officers, who were just watching the show, are now finally putting their skills to use again—arresting Lu Xiaoyao.

"I'm innocent!!!"

Lu Xiaoyao has really broken down this time!

Why is she the only one being punished from beginning to end?!

The crucial point is, she was framed!

“You can protest your innocence, but everything you say can be used against you in court. You have the right to remain silent… or to speak up. We will continue to collect other evidence. We will never wrong an innocent person…”

"But you're framing people right now!"

JC: "...Don't worry, we won't let any bad guys get away with it!"

"But what you're doing is letting bad guys get away with it!"

No matter how much Lu Xiaoyao struggled, she was destined to be taken away today.

"I'm innocent!"

Finally, police sirens soon sounded outside the building. Lu Xiaoyao, clutching the conference room doorknob that she had broken with her "miracle of force," was finally helped into the police car by several police officers.

Just before getting on the bus, Lu Xiaoyao was still struggling to say that she was innocent. But when Lu Xiaoyao turned around and looked at the three people standing in front of the building, especially the two people standing behind Lou Jia, an unbelievable thought suddenly flashed through Mingmei's mind.

There was more than one murderer, but it wasn't said there were only two, was it?

Or perhaps, the one who died wasn't actually the murderer?

Lu Xiaoyao was so frightened by her own thoughts that she trembled uncontrollably. Then she was shoved into the police car once again.

Her expression shifted from anger to a dazed look, as if she had been startled by her own thoughts. Once she came to her senses, she felt a chill run down her spine.

She vaguely remembered what she was doing when Charlie was standing behind her.

Oh, she was looking at an old newspaper about a lottery ticket worth hundreds of millions that someone had won but no one had claimed it.

The section about unclaimed property was circled in red several times, with the note "Why isn't it him?!"

Not only that, Lu Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that the newspaper corresponded to the day after the death of the character Li Que's parents!

A jumble of fragmented clues suddenly flooded Lu Xiaoyao's mind, but it was clear she lacked the ability to unravel the relationships between them. (M.cascoo.net)

She needs help!

Therefore, ever since she was brought back to the police station, Lu Xiaoyao has been trying her best to see Lou Jia.

Even if her mind wasn't working properly this time and she hadn't figured out many things, Lu Xiaoyao didn't think Mu Chen was innocent, given how he had targeted her.

She needs a smart person to help her gather more evidence.

When Lu Xiaoyao saw Lou Jia again, she grasped at a straw and told him all about her suspicions about Mu Chen and the strange bits and pieces she found in the old newspapers at Charlie's place.

Since she's already at the police station, the game isn't over yet, which means there's still a chance for things to turn around!

That's what Lu Xiaoyao thought. Lou Jia had also realized something that seemed to have been overlooked when Lu Xiaoyao was taken away.

Therefore, when Lu Xiaoyao approached him, he naturally agreed to see her.

"I later discovered what you were talking about."

He then picked up the newspaper that Lu Xiaoyao had dropped, and naturally noticed what Lu Xiaoyao had said. Because of this, he also rummaged through all the other old newspapers in Cha Sheng's room and looked at them carefully.

He discovered that some of the markings made in the old newspapers collected by Cha Sheng did not actually seem to be circled out of interest.

"What he did was more like a marking. A kind of marking to reaffirm something."

As Lou Jia spoke, he suddenly took a deep breath, looked up at Lu Xiaoyao, and said, "After that, I found that mysterious merchant who sells spicy hot pot boxed meals and bought her boxed meals."

"Hmm? What did you find?"

"I ate three boxes... The information about two of the boxes can actually be deduced from the hot pot boxed meals we ate before, but there is one piece of information that makes me feel more and more terrified the more I think about it."

"What?"

Is what you perceive as reality truly reality?

[Has the little one finally realized that the player from before wasn't just messing with her?]

[It's truly terrifying. From beginning to end, the detective and Deer Man A were really... just insignificant characters.]

Sigh~ Although other players have also seen minor characters make a comeback... but in this game, sigh~
