A group of people began the third round of reasoning and analysis, which was the final battle.
After eliminating his old rival Hao Bifang, Xu Shao took control of the situation and pointed his spearhead at Sheng Xia and Wen Rui.
"First of all, I think the stepmother is the most suspicious. She married into the Zhuang family with her daughter, and she and Mr. Zhuang have no children. Although the daughter changed her surname to Zhuang, she has no blood relationship with Mr. Zhuang. Her situation in the Zhuang family is actually very embarrassing. Especially when Mr. Zhuang's biological daughter who was lost outside was found, the status of mother and daughter was even lower."
"The old man is old and in poor health. I heard he's already hired a lawyer to draw up a will. My guess is that the shares given to mother and daughter in the will aren't very large. Dissatisfied with the division of property and jealous of Miss Zhuang, they've become intent on embezzling it."
"So, after learning that Ms. Zhuang was suffering from depression and had to take medication every night to barely fall asleep, they exploited the properties of the medication and poisoned her, making it look like she had committed suicide."
Sheng Xia: "So you are determined to believe that I am the murderer?"
Teacher Xu waved his hand. "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. You are indeed involved in Miss Zhuang's death, but others are also implicated."
Qiao Yiyi, Wen Rui and others looked at each other in surprise.
Wen Rui: "What did Teacher Xu say?"
Xu Shao continued his analysis, "Let's start with Miss Zhuang's depression. Why would she be depressed? Being taken back to the Zhuang family, the richest man in City Z, her life took a dramatic turn. Money, status, even a fiancé was already arranged. She could be said to be a winner in life. How could she still be depressed?"
"But—" he changed the subject, "Every beautiful surface can hide a veneer of filth. Miss Zhuang isn't as happy and content as everyone assumes. On the contrary, scattered clues indicate that her fiancé, while seemingly devoted to her, isn't truly devoted to her. He's only engaged to her out of pressure from his family. That rumor about the family company being on the verge of bankruptcy is probably not groundless."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yiyi quickly looked at Qin Yiyang.
Sure enough, Qin Yiyang's eyes avoided a little.
Xu Shao looked at Wen Rui again: "My fiancé is being hypocritical, and you, as my ex-boyfriend, are pressing me. I guess you must have threatened Miss Zhuang with something, and this thing is very likely fatal to her, which is why she is so nervous."
Compared to the "honest" Qin Yiyang, Wen Rui seemed much calmer and composed. Without changing her expression, she said, "I threatened her? I just couldn't accept that she dumped me, so I wanted to teach her a lesson."
Xu Shao gave a mysterious smile. "More than that, right? Whose DNA test is that?"
Everyone looked at Wen Rui and asked silently.
Wen Rui felt the pressure, but she said, "Zhuang Man secretly gave birth to a child for me before, and she didn't admit it was mine. I had no choice but to do a DNA test to see how she could deny it."
Xu Shao was skeptical: "Really? Why haven't I heard that my niece has an illegitimate child?"
Wen Rui: "Maybe she's afraid it will affect her return to the banker."
Xu Shao was silent for a moment, obviously thinking about the truthfulness of Wen Rui's words.
Wen Rui took the opportunity to say, "Don't keep picking on me and my stepmother. Aren't there still my sister and Lin Shanshan? Why are there so many depressing songs on my sister's playlist? Could she be depressed too? And she also likes her brother-in-law. It's very likely a murder of passion. As for Lin Shanshan, it's not impossible that she was mentally unbalanced and killed her best friend."
Ning Yao blushed when she heard the criticism directed at her, and she argued, "I didn't. I didn't know those songs were depressing. I simply collected them after seeing recommendations from others and thinking they sounded good."
Qiao Yiyi also defended herself: "I do feel dissatisfied with Zhuang Man sometimes, but what good will killing her do me?"
Wen Rui: "This——"
Indeed, at present, it seems that Lin Shanshan is the one with the least motive for murder, and even seems like an outsider.
The scene reached a stalemate, and in order to control the time, the director told everyone: "Now, you can vote for the bad guy."
Xu Shao immediately pointed to the stepmother played by Sheng Xia.
Shengxia refers to her ex-boyfriend Wen Rui.
Wen Rui refers to Xu Shao's second uncle.
Qin Yiyang looked around and finally pointed at Xu Shao.
Qiao Yiyi was in a dilemma of making a decision, so she just followed the crowd, which also referred to Xu Shao.
At this time, the elimination announcement sounded: "Xu Shao, Sheng Xia, and Wen Rui are eliminated. The murderer is still on the field."
Everyone was stunned.
Xu Shao had already stood up: "So they are all murderers?"
Director: "Yes and no. There is a real murderer on the scene."
"Who is that?"
Wen Rui is confused.
She looked at Qin Yiyang and Qiao Yiyi: "One of you two? Besides your fiancé, it can't be a good friend, right?"
Director: "That's right, it's our good friend Lin Shanshan."
Everyone was stunned.
How could it be possible? Qiao Yiyi had a naive face the entire time, couldn't speak clearly, and didn't know anything about anything. How could she be the murderer?
Wen Rui grabbed Qiao Yiyi's neck and said, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Qiao Yiyi stumbled twice because of the sudden weight on her body and almost fell: "Let me go first, and then I'll tell you."
Wen Rui then let go of her hand.
It turns out that when Qiao Yiyi turned over her information card and learned that she was the murderer, she was very panicked. As a novice, playing this kind of role-playing game for the first time was really stressful.
Faced with so many masters, she thought about it and decided to play dumb, make up stories, know nothing about anything, and marginalize herself.
I didn't expect that she would really keep me company.
The others were so busy fighting each other that they didn't even remember she existed.
The director also laughed: "In fact, several clues you have point to her."
Wen Rui wondered: "So why? And how did she kill people?"
Qiao Yiyi recalled her own information and explained, "Didn't I help her consult a psychologist? She wasn't convenient and didn't want to see a doctor, so I asked for her. Later, the doctor prescribed medication, but I deliberately misrepresented the doctor's information and increased the dosage. All medicines are toxic, and her dependence on them grew stronger and stronger."
"I'm jealous of her, not just because she once unintentionally laughed at me, hurt my self-esteem, and pushed me away from the boy I liked. Most importantly, I want to replace her. Because she's not the real banker's daughter at all, and that DNA test report is about her. That's why she's been so unhappy, because she knows she's fake."
Wen Rui suddenly realized: "I thought so. But how can you be sure that you can replace her?"
Qiao Yiyi: "Because my second uncle made a deal with me. He knew Zhuang Man was fake, but he still took her back. He wanted to use her to control the Zhuang family and indirectly transfer the property. But Zhuang Man became more and more difficult to control, and even wanted to tell Master Zhuang the truth several times."
"Second uncle was afraid that Mr. Zhuang would find out the truth and go look for his real daughter, so he had no choice but to find a fake one."
"I had plastic surgery not just because of Zhuang Man's ridicule, but also to look like the late Madam Zhuang. That's why I went to the plastic surgery clinic."
"oh--"
After hearing this, everyone almost understood.
It turns out that this is a tragedy centered around greed.
One day, Zhuang Man was suddenly told that she was the eldest daughter of the richest man in City Z, Zhuang Family, and was taken back to the Zhuang Family.
She thought her fate had changed, but she never imagined that she was not the real daughter of the Zhuang family, but a tool of her second uncle. Her second uncle had no descendants and coveted the huge family fortune, so he came up with this trick.
But Zhuang Man’s adoptive father and ex-boyfriend didn’t know.
They really thought that she was the eldest daughter of the banker, whose adoptive father was in debt from gambling and was like a bottomless pit that sucked blood, and her ex-boyfriend was pestering her. After accidentally discovering that she had no blood relationship with the banker, he threatened her in various ways.
The stepmother is a hermaphrodite. She tries to be nice to her in front of her old father, but her attitude changes 180 degrees in the blink of an eye.
All she sees is her fiancé, who is just playing around and has a woman he likes.
Gradually, Zhuang Man's mood began to decline, becoming increasingly depressed, and even experiencing physical reactions and suicidal tendencies. She could only ask her most trusted friend to help her consult a psychologist.
After receiving the feedback, I started taking the medicine as prescribed by the doctor, but I couldn't stand my sister playing loud songs at home every day, which made me feel very upset.
Finally, on this night, she was on the verge of collapse after a big fight with her fiancé. She felt better after taking medicine. Coincidentally, her stepmother sent her calming milk out of concern, and she drank it without any doubt.
Unexpectedly, I had a drug reaction and my body couldn't bear the burden, so I fell into a deep sleep and never woke up.
Xu Shao: "Good fellow, my guess was right, they are all murderers, all villains."
Director: "Of course, the biggest villains are the best friend and stepmother, who directly committed murder. So while it's true that everyone was a murderer, these two were the ones who directly killed people."
Qin Yiyang: "Sister Yiyi, you hid it so well!"
Hao Bifang: "Yeah, I didn't expect to be fooled by you, the most unlikely looking girl."
Qiao Yiyi clasped her hands together and said sheepishly, "I'm sorry, teachers. I just got lucky by accident."
Wen Rui patted her shoulder and said, "That's great, Qiao Yiyi. I didn't expect a few old foxes to fall into your trap. Well done!"
The program recording ended successfully.
We all gathered together to have a good meal and drinks.
Even though they seem to be fighting each other during the show, once they leave the show they are close to each other and their relationship is very good.
So who said online that they have a bad relationship?
Xu Shao took the lead in convincing the program crew to reimburse them, and the director couldn't resist and had to agree to them.
The group took a car to the hotel for dinner. As soon as Qiao Yiyi and Wen Rui got into the car, they saw Wen Rui holding her stomach.
Qiao Yiyi asked her what was wrong.
Wen Rui's face turned pale as she said, "I'm on my period today, and I have a stomachache."
Qiao Yiyi exclaimed in surprise: "Then why didn't you tell us during the recording of the show?"
Wen Rui smiled bitterly: "There are already many people online who are dissatisfied with me, saying that I am hypocritical. If I say it during the day, they will think I am making excuses."
After hearing this, Qiao Yiyi finally understood why she looked so bad and in such a bad mood all day, and didn't dare to go into the water. It turned out to be this reason.
As a girl herself, she knows how uncomfortable it is for girls to have their periods.
The condition is usually mild, but in severe cases, the lower abdomen feels like a knife is twisting inside, causing intermittent throbbing pain. Some people even have to take painkillers to barely relieve the pain.
Wen Rui ran all day today and got quite a bit of exercise.
It takes extraordinary perseverance to be able to endure until this point.
Maybe because of this, the pain is even worse now.
Seeing that her face was getting paler and paler and beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead, Qiao Yiyi also became anxious.
She caught a glimpse of a store ahead and quickly asked the driver to stop.
Wen Rui grabbed her hand and asked her what she was doing.
Qiao Yiyi comforted her: "Wait for me."
The driver parked the car on the side of the road, and Qiao Yiyi hurriedly got out and ran to the convenience store.
A passerby recognized Qiao Yiyi, quickly followed her, and asked, "Excuse me, are you Qiao Yiyi?"
Qiao Yiyi didn't bother to answer and just nodded.
When she arrived at the store, she went straight to the living area and searched for a long time before she found the hot pack.
The cashier at the front desk thought she looked familiar, but it was not until she finished paying and left the room that she suddenly remembered that it was Qiao Yiyi.
Qiao Yiyi picked up the heat pad and got into the car. She tore off a piece and asked Wen Rui to put it on.
The heat slowly spread across her lower abdomen, and soon, Wen Rui felt better. She thanked Qiao Yiyi, "Thank you."
Qiao Yiyi waved her hand: "What's there to thank me for? I'm a girl too, I know how hard it is."
Wen Rui leaned her head against the back of her chair and smiled weakly. "I have a question I can't figure out. Although we're not from the same company, as long as we're in the entertainment industry and we're both women, we're competitors. Why are you so nice to me? Aren't you afraid that I'll betray you like I did in the game today?"
Qiao Yiyi knew what she meant. Although she was a Buddhist, she was not stupid. She naturally knew that the entertainment industry was glamorous on the surface, but there were undercurrents in private.
But she said, "What others do is their business. I just need to have a clear conscience. Besides, who says girls have to be competitive? Isn't it good for girls to help other girls and collaborate in a friendly way?"
Wen Rui was slightly startled, then shook her head. "You're being too idealistic. Just to put it this way, how are you going to deal with all the online abuse you receive, and all the people who blindly follow your lead and criticize you?"
Qiao Yiyi smiled and said, "Public relations."
But he quickly changed his face to a serious one: "Just kidding. I feel like this: at your level, with so many people liking you, naturally there are also many who dislike you. Everyone has their own thoughts, and it's impossible to guarantee that everyone will say what you like to hear. As for the trend-following criticism you mentioned, I think people who truly like you, understand you, and have independent thoughts and correct values won't be easily led astray..."
Wen Rui: “…”
She suddenly stopped talking.
Qiao Yiyi: "Forget it, let's not talk about such a heavy topic. Let me tell you a joke. It's about a toothpick walking on the road..."
…
The recording of this episode of "Extreme Forward" was successfully completed.
Although she ran all day and her brain was tense all day, Qiao Yiyi felt that she had gained a lot.
After everyone had a meal together, Wen Rui insisted on adding Qiao Yiyi on WeChat, saying, "Yiyi, if you have anything to talk about in the future, just come and chat with me."
Qiao Yiyi jokingly said, "Why didn't you come to me?"
Wen Rui spoke with the arrogance of a queen: "Because I am more famous than you."
Qiao Yiyi didn't care and said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll report to you anytime."
Xu Shao said to Qiao Yiyi with a smile, "Girl, you really tricked us today. Your acting is pretty good. You must come to film next time."
Qiao Yiyi was scratching her head embarrassedly one second, and was confused the next.
Wen Rui nudged her waist and winked at her: "Teacher Xu is now a director and is preparing to make his own movie. He is inviting you, so why don't you accept it quickly."
Qiao Yiyi said "oh", not knowing whether it was true or not, and quickly nodded and agreed: "Thank you, Teacher Xu!"
Qin Yiyang shared their recording video and pictures in the group, which made Sang Bai extremely envious.
Sang Bai: I feel like you guys had a lot of fun this time.
Qin Yiyang: When will you return to City A? Let’s get together when you come back.
Sang Bai: Probably more than a month.
Qiao Yiyi: Then when you come back, let’s go eat something delicious together.
Sang Bai: Spinning around happily.jpg
One week later, the new episode of "Extreme Forward" will meet you on time.
Because it is an old variety show, the content of each program is very interesting and the audience stickiness is very high. Many people regard it as a variety show to watch while eating, and they prepare delicious food early and wait in front of the screen.
Seeing that the theme of this episode was role-playing and light detective cases, netizens looked as if they had seen through it.
[Do I even need to guess? I, Xu Laoxie, will definitely win in the end. My IQ is not in vain.]
[Do you not take our "Trickster" Xiao Sheng seriously? ]
[Okay, so does it mean that my "extremely smart" teacher Hao doesn't deserve a name?]
[Before, be careful, Mr. Hao will know what you mean by baldness and will secretly kill you.]
[Just a quick question: Do you really have no confidence in newcomers? What if someone makes a comeback?]
[Just kidding, when have you ever seen us, the Chong Chong Five, treat a guest well? ]
[Watch your words, bro. New viewers might think our show is terrible.]
[Hey, why isn't Zong Chang here this time? I came just for his face.]
[Zong Chang isn't here, but there's still Qin Yiyang? Isn't Qin Yiyang handsome? What a masculine guy.]
[You all went to look at the handsome guy, I took my daughter Yiyi away and it was like a 100-meter sprint]
[Why is Wen Rui so grumpy again today? Does she really not want to record?]
Obviously, the audience noticed that Wen Rui was in a bad mood today. She has been in a lot of trouble recently and has been at the center of controversy. Now that netizens have seized on this point, the harmonious barrage of comments suddenly became so chaotic that it was unbearable to watch.
Later, I don’t know who couldn’t stand it anymore and posted a comment:
[Stop arguing, can't you just focus on the content of the show? ]
[Yeah, yeah, yeah, look at Qiao Yiyi looking for the mission card. I'm almost laughing my head off.]
What kind of physique is this? She didn't even find a single card, and perfectly avoided all the hidden card locations.
[Hahahaha, this picture is in the small flower pot at her feet. Girl, lower your head. Don't ignore your feet just because you're tall.]
[I could sense Yiyi's despair as she watched helplessly as someone pulled a quest card from beneath her feet.]
[Hahahaha, there should be a song at this moment: The water of West Lake, my tears. Look at the aggrieved look of the goose girl. Wait, mom will make an emoticon pack for you soon.]
Unexpectedly, the scene where Qiao Yiyi was looking for the task card became a laughing point for netizens, and they all expressed their sympathy on the public screen.
【Maybe this is what God does when he opens a door, he will close a window for you. 】
[Is this famous quote used in this way?]
【See what she will do next if she doesn't have a mission card.】
However, when netizens were worried about Qiao Yiyi and worried that she would not be able to find the clues to unlock the mission card, they discovered that Qiao Yiyi actually took a roundabout way to save the country - to cooperate with Wen Rui.
Especially after hearing the sentence "You are responsible for finding the cards, and I will do the task", I couldn't help but sigh: What a domineering statement.
I suspect that Qiao Yiyi's luck in finding the card has all been transferred to Wen Rui.
[Wen Rui is amazing, she actually found so many cards.]
When the show came to the part where Qiao Yiyi climbed a tree to pick durian and went into the water to retrieve the ring, netizens started laughing like crazy again.
Qiao Yiyi didn't disappoint me. I knew she wanted to climb a tree. I suspected she was a monkey in disguise.
[What monkey? It's clearly a panda! The tree-climbing movements are exactly like a panda's.]
[Can people really stay underwater for that long? ]
Seeing her swim like a fish in the water, I really want to ask her if she wants to compete in the Olympics. Her agile movements, her ability to hold her breath underwater. Qiao Yiyi, please go and shine at the Olympics, okay? The national swimming team needs you!
Then I saw that with the cooperation of Qiao Yiyi and Wen Rui, the two of them had taken up almost half of the clues, and I couldn't help but sigh.
[Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely! There's actually a fighting style like this.]
[One uses the brain, the other uses the hands. This cooperation is really good.]
[I don't know why, but when I look at the two of them, I picture a clever prince and his pretty guard. The arrogant prince is clever, but doesn't like to fight. He orders his highly skilled guard around. The guard hits wherever he points, and never misses...]
[The above, publishing a book, understand? ]
Because of this flawless cooperation, netizens temporarily forgot to pick on Wen Rui and criticized her. Now no one scolded her for not doing the task seriously.
Wen Rui and Qiao Yiyi are one responsible for intelligence and the other for hands-on work. Wen Rui's fans cried with joy. It was the first time that no one scolded their steamed food for stealing the limelight from the female guests or being overshadowed by the female guests.
Wow, these two look so harmonious together.
Especially when Hao Bifang proposed the alliance, Wen Rui analyzed the situation with a domineering look on his face, while Qiao Yiyi had an expression that said, "I'll listen to you and I'll protect you."
Isn’t this a perfect plot of “Her Majesty the Queen, who is all about strategy, vs. the reliable and steady knight who protects her”?
[Qiao Yiyi? Wen Rui, you two are the perfect match.]
[It's over. My daughter is such a soft girl, and she did it for love again. ]
[No matter what, everyone is my husband or wife tonight.]
[The above person is too shameless, both the husband and wife want it. ]
As for the "Yibuzhiyao" couple with Ning Yao? They had long been forgotten by netizens on the shores of Daming Lake.
As long as the CP is shipped quickly, sadness will not catch up with me!
And at the end, when the truth is revealed, there is another big reversal.
No one expected that the person who hid the best was Qiao Yiyi.
[So was it a coincidence or was it a case of white cutting black? ]
I didn't expect that Xu Laoxie and Mr. Hao would also have their moments of failure.
The funniest thing is that Mr. Hao was clearly trying to trick Old Xu, but he ended up getting himself into trouble.
I felt that this episode had a good variety show effect. The newcomers weren't bad, and there weren't any quarrels. It was surprisingly harmonious.
[Yeah, before, it was always about who was more famous, who was less famous, who was bullying whom, who was more beautiful than whom. I was so fed up with it.]
[Yes, there are also people saying that our five-member group, Go Go Go, doesn't have a good relationship. A friend who ran into them on the day of the recording said that they even had dinner together that night.]
[Yes, a friend of mine also ran into Qiao Yiyi in the supermarket and saw her buying a heat patch.]
[Heating patch? Was Yiyi on her period that day?]
[It doesn't look like it. She's full of energy, but Wen Rui isn't in good condition.]
So was Wen Rui on her period that day? Oh my god, if that was the case, she insisted on recording for a whole day. How painful must it have been? And she didn't even say a word the entire time.
[I feel like you're expecting too much from Wen Rui, even though she's already done well enough.]
[Yeah, a girl who did physical exercise with so many boys and recorded so many episodes without ever complaining, I really don't know why she was scolded like this.]
[Suddenly feeling a little hurt, I'm going to Wen Rui's Weibo to comfort her.]
I went too, wanting to tell her not to be influenced by the trolls and just be herself.
So that morning, when Wen Rui got up and opened Weibo, she saw that her private messages and Weibo comments had exploded again.
Wen Rui has the habit of reading private messages and comments. Although she is often teased for asking for trouble, scolding, and unhappiness, she feels that occasionally reading these abusive voices can help to refresh her mind and prevent herself from getting too carried away.
Although it does make me feel heartbroken and depressed every time I watch it, I still can't help but watch it.
I didn't expect that when I opened her private messages this time, there were so many words of comfort and apologies.
Wen Rui was puzzled, and she immediately took a screenshot and sent it to Qiao Yiyi.
Yes, she clearly told Qiao Yiyi to send her a WeChat message after the show was over, but she didn't expect that she was the one who contacted her first.
Wen Rui: Netizens have confused me. What kind of operation is this? I am not used to it.
Qiao Yiyi: Isn't this great? Do you like being scolded? Do you have any such tendency?
Wen Rui sent an emoticon of someone slashing her with a 40-meter knife and allowing her to run 39 meters first: When are you free? Let’s have dinner together.
Qiao Yiyi sent an emoticon pack saying "Don't disturb me, I want to study": I don't have time.
Wen Rui: Wow, you look so presentable, are you trying to establish yourself as a top student?
Qiao Yiyi: ...
After the program recording is completed, she has to start attending cram school again.
Whenever she thought of the girl in the class who confessed to her, she got a headache. How should she face that girl then?
She couldn't help but open a question-and-answer platform and asked a question: If you have a friend who is confessed to by a same-sex friend in the same class, what should you do?
Someone quickly replied: The friend you are talking about is you, right?
Qiao Yiyi: “…”
I'm speechless.
Some netizens also gave serious advice: "If you are also gay, you can give it a try with her. If not, stay away from her as soon as possible. Oh yes, you are in the same class, it is a bit awkward."
Qiao Yiyi: “…”
My friend, can you give me some help?
She asked seriously.
However, when Qiao Yiyi was struggling with how to face Zhong Xiaoyun, a sensational news broke out on the Internet - Qiao Yiyi had falsified her academic qualifications and was suspected of not even completing high school.
