As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...

Chapter 224 Answer

Actually, judging from the traces at the scene in the study and the 'corpse,' it wouldn't be difficult to guess the process of the murder and the 'murder' weapon. It's just that the three people just couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that the other players in the room were still looking around, Yue Jiuzai decided to try it out himself.

She squatted down to look at the 'corpse' and said, "Actually, I think the process of the victim's murder should be very simple. First, look at his position. He was lying face down between the desk and the door, and there was a ballpoint pen near his right hand. His head was facing outwards, so it's obvious that he was killed when he was face-to-face with the murderer."

Beside the body was a large patch of dried blood. Yue Jiuzai pointed to the bloodstains and said, "The bloodstains are mostly on the back and waist. The fatal wound was probably on the abdomen or chest, because a sharp weapon can penetrate the back, so the bloodstains could naturally flow from the back. Moreover, the waist is more likely to be stained by blood from the abdomen and chest."

"So I guess the victim was probably reading or working at his desk when he suddenly found the bad guy barging in. He stood up to find out what was going on and was killed on the spot."

As Yue Jiuzai spoke, he examined the wounds on the corpse and said, "Judging from the size and shape of the wounds, the murder weapon was most likely a sharp weapon like a fruit knife, but the knife was probably not very long, only about ten centimeters long."

Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue listened to Yue Jiuzai's analysis. They both felt that their guesses were similar. Yue Jiuxing even said, "That's right, our guess is the same."

Yue Jiuyue said, "We even gave that woman a hint just now, but she didn't react. It's been almost half an hour since the three of them came in, and they still haven't gotten an answer. Time is almost up."

Inside the desk drawer were several plastic sharp tools, including a small dagger, a fruit knife, and several other knives. These knives were not all the same length; they varied in length.

When the female player opened the drawer, she took out the longest watermelon knife inside and said to her companion, "I think this might be the murder weapon. Look how long it is. Even if the victim is far away from them when they come in, they can still kill them directly."

Another male player said, "The victim's head was facing the door. Could it be that he was originally in the study, and then wanted to open the door to go out for a bit, and then he encountered bad guys as soon as he opened the door, and the bad guys scared him with weapons, and then he was killed while he was backing away?"

"Hey, I initially thought these three players weren't very smart, but now they don't seem so stupid after all~"

Yue Jiuxing sat on the table, swinging her legs, and said, "But they didn't guess the murder weapon correctly. The wounds on the body weren't as big as a watermelon knife."

Yue Jiuyue also said, "This game is actually not difficult, but why did they have to guess for so long?"

Just then, the female player spoke into the walkie-talkie at the door and said the answer they had guessed. Everyone thought that even if the answer wasn't completely right, it should at least be half right.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the answer, the staff member behind the walkie-talkie said, "I'm sorry, the probability of your answer being correct is only 30%. Please accept the punishment."

After the person finished speaking into the walkie-talkie, the 'corpse' on the ground began to move on its own, and it even turned its head and body in a very flexible and eerie way!

It has to be said that sometimes fake things can be terrifying. No matter how fake the props are, as long as you add dye and some strange movements, the 'corpse' can still be very scary in the eyes of some timid people, not to mention some props that are made to look particularly 'real'.

All I saw was that the 'corpse' suddenly started turning its head, turning it 360 degrees without any blind spots, and its eyeballs could even pop out halfway, with one half outside the eye socket and the other half still connected to the inside of the eye socket!

Its smile was also strange, and its mouth slowly pulled apart. The pulled-out skin was like a water pipe that had been cut open, and some bright red 'blood' gushed out, instantly changing the color of the floor.

"If you can't find the murder weapon and can't help me reconstruct the events, then stay here and keep me company."

After the floor was stained, the 'corpse' used a hoarse, ethereal voice to frighten the players.

Seeing this scene, even knowing the corpse was fake, the three players were still a little scared. The female player ran into one of the male players' arms and said, "Honey, let's not play anymore, okay? It's so disgusting!"

The male and female players are in a relationship. He hugged his girlfriend and said, "Okay, then let's stop playing and go outside, okay?"

Another male player, somewhat speechless, said, "Hey sis, brother-in-law, I'm still here! Can you guys please look after me? Also, you can't leave until the game is over, unless you press the rescue bell."

"Then let's ring the bell~ We're not playing anymore, it's disgusting~"

The female player still insisted that she didn't want to play anymore, so the male player went to the door and pressed the emergency call button, asking the staff outside to open the door and let them out.

After watching them go from getting the answer wrong to showing affection, and then finally giving up and pressing the emergency call button to leave, Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing were completely speechless. They stood in the room looking at the corpse that had already "finished get off work," and Yue Jiuxing even said, "What the hell, they just gave up like that?"
