Shh, Don’t Play a M*rder Game on a Dating Reality Show

Cen Yueyue was an obscure D-list actress who, by sheer dumb luck, was thrust into a reality dating show featuring A-list movie stars as a disposable side character. Her agent had somehow managed to...

Chapter 64 Cage (2/2)

The director was upset last night, and Cen Yueyue found the poison today, which makes people very suspicious.

"Before they announced their relationship, Shushu and I had sensed that there was something wrong between them. When they went upstairs to rest, they avoided eye contact several times and even lied. Plus, when they came downstairs, Liu Chuxia smelled of cigarettes."

I just didn't expect that they would make up a romance.

"They kept lying while cooking and were eager to get us to eat. Wasn't this telling others that there was something wrong? But I had no evidence to prove they were lying, so I didn't expose them."

Xie Erlan poured a cup of hot water and warmed it in her palm.

"Then why would Yu Jieqi want to kill Liu Chuxia? Aren't they collaborators?"

Xie Erlan asked doubtfully.

"You should ask Yu Jieqi this question, but I have a guess. Although I don't have any evidence, do you want to hear it?"

Cen Yueyue said.

"Go ahead."

Xie Erlan listened attentively.

"Yu Jieqi may be the serial killer, but Liu Chuxia is not. My guess is simple. Yu Jieqi found Liu Chuxia and convinced her to poison everyone and pull her into the alliance, so that drama happened."

"Perhaps Yu Jieqi's identity as the murderer was exposed, or Liu Chuxia felt guilty and didn't want to poison us again, so she was killed by Yu Jieqi to silence her."

"Of course, all of this speculation is based on the assumption that Yu Jieqi is the murderer. It does not mean that Dongfang Yuanming is not a suspect."

Oh, Xie Erlan is even more interested.

"Why do you suspect Dongfang Yuanming? Didn't you speculate before that the murderer stole the key and deliberately put it in someone else's bedroom?"

Shouldn't the East be excluded?

After all, who would put the murder weapon in their own room?

"It's very simple, because there's no point in putting someone else in the room. Your leaving was negligence, it was an accident, he couldn't have predicted it, and when he killed someone, he was in a hurry and would subconsciously choose a room he trusted."

Xie Erlan asked again,

"What about my room? There's no point in putting it in your room. What about us?"

She is the only person who went upstairs and is suspected of murder. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to put her in her room?

"Do you want to hear a serious or an unserious explanation?"

Xie Erlan: ...

Do we still need to distinguish between serious and not serious?

"It's not serious. Dongfang Yuanming likes you."

Xie Erlan: ...

"Although I dare not say what kind of person he is, his love for her must be genuine, so he even framed her to frame Yu Jieqi. Of course, all this is just speculation, and the murderer's compassion is nothing."

As she spoke, Cen Yueyue yawned.

"And the serious explanation is that it's not as easy for him to frame you as it is for Yu Jieqi. Do you remember my speculation? If you want to kill someone, you need a weapon and a change of clothes."

"But the suitcase in your room has a combination lock. When we went to search your room, it was closed tightly. I don't think the murderer has the ability to know your combination."

So, where do you get the blood-stained clothes?

"The clothes hanging on the balcony are very high. It's impossible to do it without a clothesline. But there is no such thing in the house. You must have returned it after using it before."

Xie Erlan said with some melancholy,

"No, I didn't wash the clothes. It was Ren Siling, my assistant, so I don't know."

Cen Yueyue nodded.

"That's right. So the murderer came to your room to frame you, but he couldn't even find a decent coat, only a pillowcase."

"Compared to you, isn't Yu Jieqi, your roommate, better? He's right next to you, so there's no need to open the door. Even if he poisoned me last night, Dongfang should know that he didn't. The only person who poisoned me could be the cook, so the scapegoat has been found, right?"

"Besides, didn't you guess before that Dongfang Yuanming is the one who is most capable of making all this happen?"

That’s right, Xie Erlan nodded.
