Chapter 33 (Second update) This chapter is more of a murder drama...



Qin Yiyang asked Qiao Yiyi: "Have you had plastic surgery before?"

Qiao Yiyi shook her head: "I don't remember."

Qin Yiyang: "You can forget this? That's unlikely."

Qiao Yiyi said firmly, "I really don't remember. Maybe someone else saw it wrongly. Why would I go to a plastic surgery hospital when I'm fine?"

Seeing the other party's suspicious look, she asked Qin Yiyang: "What about you? Why are you arguing with Zhuang Man? Aren't you two very close?"

Qin Yiyang also immediately got into the role and explained, "It's just a little quarrel between lovers. No matter how good the relationship is, friction will occur, right?"

Wen Rui: "What message did Zhuang Man send you?"

Qin Yiyang: "She sent me a message to apologize, saying that her tone just now was a bit intense and asked me not to blame her."

A group of people were skeptical.

But it can be seen that everyone is hiding something.

Hao Bifang interrupted everyone at the right moment: "Alright, now's not the time for our internal discussion. Don't forget, we've already formed an alliance, so our next priority is to deal with Old Xu."

Oh yes, everyone reacted.

It turns out that the older you are, the more precise your aim.

Hao Bifang and Qin Yiyang were going to do the next task and said they would meet again in an hour.

Qiao Yiyi and Wen Rui nodded, and they also went to the swimming pool to salvage the ring.

After Teacher Hao and Qin Yiyang left, Qiao Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Because her information did state that Lin Shanshan had gone to the hospital for plastic surgery. As for the purpose of the surgery, this was something Qiao Yiyi needed to keep secret and not let others find out.

That's why when Qin Yiyang asked her just now, she said that she didn't remember this incident and could only play dumb.

As a novice in gaming, Qiao Yiyi said she felt a lot of pressure when playing a role-playing game that required a lot of brainpower and analysis for the first time. It turned out that the kind of program that required direct hands-on training was more suitable for her.

Wen Rui saw her worry and said, "Don't be nervous. This is how our show works. You lie to me, and I lie to you. Anyway, just don't trust anyone easily, not even me."

Qiao Yiyi nodded.

The two went to the swimming pool where Zhuang Man usually liked to swim and relax in the plot setting. It was on the second-floor open-air balcony in a corner of the manor villa and covered a large area.

Wen Rui had thought the swimming pool would be big, but she didn't expect it to be this big.

She looked at the staff and asked, "You asked us to fish out a ring from such a huge pool? What on earth were the planning team thinking?"

The staff member chuckled and said, "I didn't expect the manor swimming pool provided by the sponsor to be so large. There was a small mistake, but it doesn't matter. If you have good eyesight, you can find it easily."

Wen Rui was speechless: "Is this a question of good eyesight?"

How long will it take to soak in the water? Even if you can swim, it will be a bit difficult.

She decided not to let Qiao Yiyi go into the water and do other tasks. As for this task, she would trick someone else into doing it later.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yiyi had already rolled up her sleeves: "It's okay, I'll do it."

Since she had agreed to complete the task in exchange for clues, Qiao Yiyi was very self-conscious.

Without saying a word, he jumped into the water.

Wen Rui: “…”

The cameraman who followed the filming didn't expect Qiao Yiyi to be so decisive, and he realized it later and carried the camera to shoot.

Fortunately, there were cameras installed in the swimming pool, and Qiao Yiyi's every move was recorded.

The director behind the monitor was surprised to see Qiao Yiyi nimbly climb up the tree to pick the durian, and then swim freely in the huge swimming pool like a fish without ever coming out of the water.

"Is she a fish? Doesn't she need to breathe?"

The other staff members were also dumbfounded. You know, Qiao Yiyi was not wearing any diving auxiliary equipment, but she could stay in the water for so long.

This mission was actually prepared for Shengxia, who is a diving expert.

What the program crew was thinking at the time was that in the process of completing the tasks, everyone would definitely exchange tasks, and the diving to find the ring would eventually fall into Shengxia's hands, which would then help enrich his character - a versatile and all-round trickster.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yiyi got there first.

"Yiyi, how are you? Have you found it? If you can't find it, forget it. Let's go do another task."

Wen Rui stood on the shore and saw that Qiao Yiyi had not surfaced for a long time. She was worried that something might have happened to her and couldn't help feeling anxious.

But even after calling out several times, there was no response.

She walked along the swimming pool, trying to find Qiao Yiyi, but after just a few steps, she saw a splash of water in front of her.

Qiao Yiyi held up a ring and said excitedly, "I found it!"

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Wen Rui breathed a sigh of relief, then asked the staff for a dry towel to wipe her.

"I was so scared, I thought something happened to you."

Qiao Yiyi was puzzled: "What could happen to me?"

She directly activated the attributes of a fish in the water, swimming freely and without any obstacles, having a great time the whole time.

Wen Rui: “…”

It seems that I worried for nothing.

The two of them hurriedly went to exchange the ring for clues. This time, it was about Shengxia. It said that on the night before Zhuang Man's death, he drank a glass of milk brought by his stepmother, and a drug with sleeping ingredients was detected in the milk.

Qiao Yiyi: "In other words, Zhuang Man's death may also be related to her stepmother?"

Wen Rui: "Nothing can be explained now. We need to unlock more clues."

However, with the help of Qiao Yiyi, the two completed the task very smoothly, and soon they had fifteen clues.

Fortunately, among these fifteen, three are about Lin Shanshan, the actor who plays Qiao Yiyi.

The clues are:

1. Lin Shanshan sent an anonymous threatening letter to Zhuang Man;

2. Zhuang Man once accidentally made fun of Lin Shanshan's ugly nose and mouth;

3. Lin Shanshan has a crush on Zhuang Man’s ex-boyfriend.

In addition to what Teacher Hao and others shared: Lin Shanshan had been to a plastic surgery hospital.

Wen Rui teased Qiao Yiyi: "You actually have a crush on me? How come I didn't know?"

Qiao Yiyi groaned, "Otherwise, how can it be called a secret love?"

Wen Rui pondered, "Could it be that you had a crush on me, and I liked Zhuang Man, and you couldn't get her, so you just killed her?"

Qiao Yiyi quickly denied: "How is that possible!"

But she suddenly felt guilty, because her profile said: Although Zhuang Man was very good to Lin Shanshan, Lin Shanshan was indeed grateful and jealous of her in her heart, because Zhuang Man not only once made fun of her ugly nose and mouth, but also treated the boy she deeply liked like trash.

Of course, this is not the main reason.

Qiao Yiyi is still hiding an even darker secret.

But overall, Qiao Yiyi is currently very safe.

Although Wen Rui was very suspicious of her, he promised her that he would not do anything to her until the last moment.

The rest are bits and pieces about other people——

The second uncle played by Mr. Xu Shao once knocked on Zhuang Man’s door in the middle of the night.

He also threatened and intimidated Zhuang Man.

The stepmother played by Sheng Xia: accidentally learned that Zhuang Man was taking an antidepressant.

I once advised the old man to change his will.

The fiancé played by Qin Yiyang was photographed holding a sign for a female idol in the entertainment industry at her concert.

There were rumors online that her fiancé's family's company was on the verge of bankruptcy, but this was quickly debunked.

The ex-boyfriend played by Wen Rui: A voice message sent to Zhuang Man - I know you better than you think.

A DNA identification report.

The younger sister played by Ning Yao: There are many photos of her sister's fiancé in the album of her younger sister's small social account.

There are a lot of depressing songs in the playlist.

The adoptive father played by Hao Bifang: The family received a collection notice from a loan shark.

My wife received a layoff notice from her workplace.

Although some of the remaining clues are in the hands of others.

But Qiao Yiyi and Wen Rui have been able to make a rough guess based on the clues currently available.

In short, both she and Wen Rui are suspects.

Finally, as promised, I met up with Teacher Hao Bifang and the others, and exchanged some information about Wen Rui's fiancé: he had a history of beating his ex-girlfriend.

"Why do I feel like the more clues I find, the harder it is to guess who the real murderer is? Why do I feel like everyone has a motive for murder?"

Qiao Yiyi is now in a state of panic.

At this time, Teacher Xu Shao, Ning Yao and Sheng Xia also gathered together.

Xu Shao asked, "How are your clues? Have you figured out who the murderer is?"

Hao Bifang followed the principle that had first eliminated Xu Shao: "Need I ask? Of course it's you, my second uncle. Tell me, why are you, a shameless old man, knocking on a little girl's door in the middle of the night and threatening her? Don't you have bad intentions?"

Xu Shao immediately put on an innocent face: "I am innocent. I knocked on the door in the middle of the night because I heard that Manman was not feeling well that night, so I wanted to check on her. After all, I was the one who brought her back. As for the intimidation, do you have any evidence?"

Hao Bifang was choked.

The two of them together only had two clues about Xu Shao, and there was really no way they could kill him with one strike.

Instead, Xu Shao said, "I have a record of Zhuang Man sending you money. The amount is not small, and the frequency is quite high. Are you short of money? Also, how did you spend so much money in such a short time? Is there something fishy going on?"

"Extreme Forward" has been recorded for several seasons. The two "old men" Hao Bifang and Xu Shao have always been very friendly off the stage, but they are tit-for-tat in front of the camera. You destroy my stage, and I will stab you in the back.

It can be said that the love-hate relationship is portrayed vividly.

This also attracted a lot of cult fans.

Now Hao Bifang was determined to eliminate Xu Shao. Xu Shao remained calm and responded to his questions one by one without making any mistakes.

In the end, after the second round of voting, it was Hao Bifang himself who was voted out.

When the elimination announcement sounded, Teacher Hao pointed at Wen Rui, Qiao Yiyi, and the others, and said anxiously, "Didn't you all agree to work together to get rid of Old Xu?"

Wen Rui smiled calmly and said, "Didn't Teacher Hao teach us to never trust others?"

Hao Bifang: "You little scoundrels! My lifelong reputation has been ruined by you."

Now everyone has almost all the clues about themselves and each other. As the sky gets darker, they have unknowingly recorded a whole day's program.

I was hungry during the trip and just had a quick meal, but now my stomach is growling again.

Teacher Xu Shao suggested, "There's no telling when this mutual suspicion will end. Why don't we all lay out the clues and analyze them directly?"

Ning Yao had been running all day and was extremely tired. She hadn't expected that filming this variety show would be so tiring. Besides, she and Xu Shao were allies, so she naturally listened to him.

Because his ally, Brother Hao, was eliminated, Qin Yiyang no longer had any opinion on whether the clues were made public or not. He just wanted to know who the murderer was.

Not to mention Qiao Yiyi, it would be better to get off work and go home early.

Only Wen Rui and Sheng Xia, who had a stronger desire to win, were a little hesitant.

But in the end, I decided to lay out the clues.

So, in addition to what they already knew, Qiao Yiyi and the others got another clue.

For example, the message Zhuang Man sent to her fiancé was: I’m tired, let’s cancel the engagement.

Second Uncle seemed to have met Zhuang Man’s ex-boyfriend, who had given him a paper document.

The computer in the study retrieved some records related to drug incompatibilities...

So who is the real murderer?

What exactly happened surrounding Zhuang Man?
