Chapter 100 Why are you so anxious?
"I basically spent the whole afternoon reading in the living room. I only went up once at about 3 o'clock in the middle of the day to remind Ms. Bai that if she wants to drink, she'd better take some stomach medicine in advance."
Gu Shutang said, "I ran into Bai Yulin in front of her office. He had something to talk to Ms. Bai about, and was waiting for Ms. Bai to come out after she finished talking to Secretary Yan about work. He said he could pass on anything I wanted to say, so I went downstairs. I was the one who opened the door for Zhuang Meiqian."
"But no one can prove that you were downstairs during this period, right?" Zhuang Chong, who was mentioned, questioned, "I didn't come to visit until after four o'clock. You could have walked out of Bai Yulin's sight and set up the trap in Ms. Bai's room."
"When I went downstairs, I saw Jiang Huaizi's door was open." Gu Shutang looked at Jiang Huai, "Maybe you saw me coming downstairs?"
Jiang Huai shook his head: "I didn't see it."
Before Gu Shutang could ask any questions, Yan Xun spoke first: "You didn't close the door in your room? Don't you need privacy at this time?"
His eyes were burning: "Or are you not in the room, doing something else?"
"...Why are you so anxious?" Jiang Huai smiled, "I haven't finished talking yet. Let me think about what's going on."
Yan Xun immediately shut his mouth, his expression obviously not looking good. Jiang Huai didn't look at him, he tapped the table silently with his index finger joints to organize his thoughts. Yan Xun retracted his gaze and uncomfortably folded the bodhi beads on his left hand.
Li Li stared at his string of shiny Bodhi seeds for a while, then looked at Jiang Huai on the other side.
It's really strange. One of them knocked on the table, and the other turned the bracelet, but neither of them made any sound, but the rhythm was exactly the same, without a single mistake... Is it a coincidence or is someone copying?
"I was definitely not in the room at that time. I was secretly looking through Bai Youqian's latest will, and Dr. Gu didn't come in." Jiang Huai said, "But I looked through it for a long time and only found her physical examination report and other useless things. I guess she hid the will."
He finished thinking and stopped tapping his knuckles. He put them on the table instead. Li Li was surprised to find that Yan Xun's hand, which was holding the beads, also dropped. He was really copying. "Then the doorbell rang. I thought it must be Zhuang who didn't have money to come to visit. I just didn't find it, so I decided to forget it. When I was about to go downstairs to open the door for him, I found Dr. Gu downstairs, so I went back to the bedroom to rest."
Jiang Huai propped up his head and looked at Yan Xun: "Because I was in a bad mood, I closed the bedroom door quite heavily. You and Bai Youqian were talking about something in the office, didn't you hear it?"
Yan Xun didn't say anything. He tolerantly excused the other party: "It seems that it is a bit far away. It's normal that you can't tell which room the door is."
Jiang Huai controlled Yan Xun to intentionally avoid his main body's sight, and continued: "Later, I was always thinking about the will, and I didn't sleep well. I seemed to hear someone quarreling next door, but I didn't know the exact time. The alarm clock rang at five o'clock, so I went downstairs to wait for dinner."
He finally gave the details: "There was no movement on the second floor at that time, and you were all in the living room."
"I went downstairs after Sister Bai arranged some work." Yan Xun didn't look happy, but he added for him, "His bedroom door was indeed closed when I went downstairs."
He said stiffly under everyone's questioning gazes: "That's why I really want to know what he has been doing during this period of time."
"So who did Jiang Huaizi hear quarreling?" Gu Shutang asked.
"It should be the three of us." Zhuang Chong looked at Lu Yulin. "I wanted to make a final effort to cooperate, but when I came in, I heard her arguing with Bai Yulin and she mentioned me, so I went straight into the office."
He said helplessly: "Then they scolded me together, and when they finished scolding me, they went downstairs."
...I still can’t figure it out.
It feels like they all have time to take action. Jiang Huai stared at his notes and fell into deep thought. Even he himself was highly suspicious.
The three of them had opportunities to take advantage of the situation before Zhuang Meiqian entered the office, before Bai Yulin went downstairs, and during the time when he was indeed sleeping but had no alibi.
Although the chance of guessing the correct murderer in "Who is the Murderer" has always been low, I still feel a little unwilling to lose the game for the first time. I must have missed a clue somewhere... Damn it!
Unable to figure out the timeline, Jiang Huai bit his tongue and tried to concentrate and think about whether there was anything he had missed.
"The discussion session is over." The hourglass ran to the bottom. Li Li pinched her shoulders twice and stood up.
She looked calm on the outside, but her mind was in a mess. She hadn't figured out who the murderer was yet. Everyone seemed dishonest, so she had no choice but to go through the process. "I already have a final suspect, and I'm sure you all have your own picks for the murderer. Come and vote!"
According to the guidance of the Tarot Goddess before coming here...it's you!
Six hands were crossed on the table. Li Li, Gu Shutang and Jiang Huai voted for Zhuang Chong, Yan Xun and Zhuang Chong voted for Jiang Huai, and Lu Yulin voted for Dr. Gu alone.
Counting the previous vote, the score was even. Fortunately, the detective counted as 1.5 votes this time. Zhuang Chong was handcuffed. Detective Li finally pushed his glasses and said, "So you are the real murderer?"
"...I am." Li Li relaxed at the speed of light, Gu Shutang curled his lips, and Jiang Huai made a "yeah" gesture under the table.
Zhuang Chong took a deep breath, put himself in the shoes of Zhuang Wuqian in the story, and said unwillingly: "Why? For every order I closed, she can get a 40% kickback without any effort. What is she dissatisfied with? She actually said that I have 'no business acumen'... If she hadn't been standing at the forefront, how could she have made so much money? After making so much money from me, she still wants to clap her hands and leave. How can it be so good?"
"I didn't want to kill her at first." He seemed to be questioning everyone present, "But if I lose the cooperation with Bai Group, what will I do? What will happen to my employees?"
"It's too ridiculous to still use the banner of morality to say that you are considering the people below you." Ever since he knew that Zhuang Chong was the real murderer, Yan Xun suddenly lost his spirit.
He leaned back in his chair and spoke lazily. Although he was a little more depressed, his words were still as harsh and sharp as ever: "If you don't know, you would think that you and your employees have the same pay for the same work, eat, sleep and live together, and your relationship is very good. You are a capitalist, but you want to die when you are exploited by other capitalists. You want to be a gigolo and... uh, those who understand will understand."
——Aren’t you a Celestial Dragon also a capitalist? ! Everyone present thought the same thing.
Twenty minutes later.
"So I was actually struggling over whether to vote for Zhuang Meiqian or Bai Yulin... Then it suddenly occurred to me that Bai Youqian triggered the mechanism on the bed. If the mechanism was triggered by pressure, it might kill the wrong person."
Jiang Huai was very happy to vote for the right person. He said with a smile: "I think the murderer must hope to clear himself of suspicion. The original plan should not be to kill Bai Youqian now. This situation may be an accident, so I voted for Zhuang Meiqian."
"Someone actually thought of this." The director clapped his hands in amazement. "When the screenwriter first said this, I thought it was unreliable... How did you feel about recording the show today? It seems that you have quickly integrated into the atmosphere of our 'Who is the Murderer', right, Jiang Huaizi?"
"It's fun! It's really rewarding to vote for the right person! I hope I can vote for the right person next time..." Jiang Huai thought for a moment and said enthusiastically, "Or it would be great to be the first murderer to successfully escape this season?"
"You have a very idealistic idea." The director gave him a thumbs up. "Then who do you think gave you the drug?"
Jiang Huai thought for a while: "Bai Yulin?"
"Only he, Doctor Gu, and Secretary Yan know Bai Youqian's usual medication situation. Doctor Gu's answer shouldn't be as obvious as this. He also has time to change the medication..."
After knowing that the knife was the cause of death, Jiang Huai no longer considered the issue of medicine. He recalled the timeline he had come up with: "But the suspicions of the remaining two people cannot be ruled out. Did I miss any clues?"
"Unfortunately, it was Dr. Gu who did it." The director patted him on the shoulder. "You missed two important clues. You'll have to wait until the show airs to see the details for yourself."
Even the guests are keeping it a secret! This is too much! Jiang Huai was about to complain when he heard the director ask again: "But both of them are suspects, why don't you suspect Secretary Yan?"
...Oops! I forgot about myself by mistake!
Jiang Huai's brain was spinning like crazy, trying to come up with a reasonable reason, but it was indeed a bit difficult to come up with, so he finally decided to tell part of the truth: "Because he thought I was the murderer from the beginning. I don't think someone who holds the murderer's script should be so... uh, sure."
Yan Xun, who was depressed because he voted for the wrong person, was sitting on the sofa waiting for an interview. When he heard his character's name, he raised his eyelids, but quickly retracted them, looking even more irritated than before.
The director team quickly took the camera to the sofa. Not far away, Zhuang Chong was waving at Jiang Huai. Jiang Huai walked up to him, and Zhuang Chong sighed, still reviewing: "If the detective didn't count the 1.5 votes, and we tied for the PK, maybe I would win."
Jiang Huai was distracted and cooperating with the interview. He thought that this was impossible. If they really tied, Yan Xun would stop making trouble and behave himself. After all, he didn't want to be arrested for no reason in the first episode. "I think if we compete, you will be the one who gets voted out."
"That's true..." Zhuang Chong quickly changed his stance and nodded in agreement, "After all, you don't look like a good liar."
【Huh?】819 questioned loudly, 【If you don’t lie, who else would?】
Jiang Huai was busy answering the director's questions at the banquet and had no time to refute it.
The director was very curious: "Jiang Huai also said it when he answered just now. You seemed to think he was the murderer at the beginning. Why is that?"
"Because I didn't like the character of Jiang Huaizi in the story I got. After reading the diary, I hated this character even more." Yan Xun said bluntly.
"Why don't you like it?"
"Pretentious." Yan Xun sneered, "As Bai Youqian's eldest son, he has no worries about food and drink every day, and he has a lot of money. He lives such a good life every day, but he still complains that Bai Youqian doesn't love him and is calculating his own mother's property every day."
"What happened after all the clues appeared? I saw that you also pointed out several problems with Zhuang's lack of money, so why did you finally vote for Jiang Huaizi?"
Yan Xun answered with a 100% personal opinion: "Because Jiang Huai is very good at acting. He doesn't even need to think before telling lies. Who knows if he deliberately changed the timeline to give wrong information?"
"I see." The director touched his chin thoughtfully as if he remembered something, took out a mobile phone from his pocket, typed a few words quickly, then held the phone in front of the camera to focus, and his series of small moves were as smooth as flowing water.
Yan Xun raised his eyebrows in confusion. The director just slowly turned his phone around, and it was his Weibo interface.
@yanxunyx:
Someone praised this acting? Is he blind? [Picture] Wasn't he beaten by He Chen?
The director asked cheerfully, "So do you think Jiang Huai is a good actor or not?"
