Chapter 97 Implement justice that puts rationality first!
Another guest in the room was Gu Shutang, whose representative piece was "Li Ping's Konghou Introduction". He was also a regular guest of "Who is the Murderer" and was currently sitting on another sofa.
After greeting Yan Xun, Li Li couldn't wait to sit down next to her, watching Yan Xun cross his legs again. She was deeply confused and rolled her eyes at Gu Shutang to express her doubts. Gu Shutang shrugged slightly, meaning that he didn't know either.
[They are definitely teasing me.] Jiang Huai saw through the two people's movements at a glance.
This rude sitting posture that would get people beaten to death on the subway made him feel a little uneasy: [How about I be a little more normal? I don’t have to sit like this to emphasize my character, right? ]
[You drive an Aston Martin to work, and you still don't dare to install this?] 819 said with regret, and Yan Xun stopped his leg when he was about to retract it.
The next person to arrive was Zhuang Chong, Zhou Chengwen’s teammate in “Confess Loudly” and also a new guest this season.
He looked around and decided to sit at the other end of the sofa, just enough distance between him and the somewhat uncultured Yan Xun.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Huai opened the door of the lounge.
Yan Xun has extremely bold facial features, narrow eyes, very thin lips, and slightly protruding cheekbones. His face is as arrogant and domineering as his temperament. He looks very aggressive and has a sense of sarcasm when he looks at people.
As soon as he saw who came in, the corners of his mouth raised, and he followed Jiang Huai closely with a rather naked look, looking him up from head to toe.
Li Li, who had been observing secretly, immediately discovered that Yan Xun's original casual and detached state no longer existed, and now he seemed to be ready to start looking for trouble.
Are you kidding me? Do you really hate him so much? She was a little worried that their quarrel would affect innocent people, but her curiosity about gossip prevailed. She pulled Gu Shutang's arm and sat up straight excitedly. Gu Shutang sighed helplessly.
Jiang Huai seemed to be unaware of Yan Xun's eager gaze. He greeted them first, then exchanged a few words with Zhuang Chong: "Long time no see."
"Indeed, it's been three years. Yigong heard Zhou Chengwen talk about you a lot back then." Zhuang Chong said with a smile, "But I've actually seen you quite often in recent years... on TV."
"Stop complimenting me." Jiang Huai exclaimed, and his eyes finally fell on Yan Xun, who was still sitting in a very wild posture.
He seemed to be completely unaware of what Yan Xun had said or how much discussion there had been about them online in the past few days. He put on a polite smile as he would to a stranger and said, "Hello, I'm Jiang Huai."
"Jiang Huai..." Yan Xun repeated slowly, with an unusually mischievous smile on his face, "I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am Yan Xun."
After saying this sarcastic greeting, he took the initiative to extend his hand and stared at Jiang Huai for two seconds.
Jiang Huai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his hand. He just shook his hand lightly, and let go before Yan Xun closed his hand.
Yan Xun's hand paused in the air for a moment, and finally returned to his thigh. Perhaps he was curious about how the other party could maintain this gentle mask and ask him to move aside. He still did not sit properly, and the distance between him and Zhuang Chong was obviously not enough for a Jiang Huai to sit down.
Jiang Huai just nodded to him calmly, walked away from him, and turned to sit next to Li Li.
Yan Xun was stunned.
[You are so useless! Tell him to get out of the way!] 819 screamed, [If I had known this would happen, why would I create such a character! Why didn’t you tell him to get out of your way! Then start the first sniping match at the middle gate!]
[Don't worry about it, I have my own plans.] Jiang Huai said righteously, [Arguing with him will only make me look petty, I am a more magnanimous person, okay?]
The last guest was Lu Yulin, the bassist of Xiao Wenping's band. Jiang Huai had met him once during the third public performance, and he remembered him as a cool guy who didn't like to talk much.
As soon as Lu Yulin stepped into the room, Yan Xun calmly withdrew his legs. The six people sat down on the sofa with their own thoughts, waiting for the director to announce the official start of the recording.
Li Li watched Yan Xun's legs move back and forth repeatedly, and finally came together peacefully. She was really confused:
Is he a decent person or not? Is he sitting like that just to make Jiang Huai unhappy? What is he doing?
-
Backstage of program recording.
“In “Who is the Murderer”, six guests play different roles, including a detective and five suspects.
There is only one true murderer among the suspects, and the true murderer needs to lie to confuse people and escape the final judgment; the remaining four must conduct on-site evidence collection and reasoning analysis, vote to report the real murderer and clear their suspicions.
Compared to suspects, detectives will be able to vote once more after a round of evidence collection and discussion, and will receive 1.5 votes in the final vote.
After introducing the general rules, Li Li pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and said, "In order to prevent the facts from being buried, to find out the truth of the case, and to implement the justice of rationality, I am a beautiful and dedicated genius detective. Hello everyone, I am Li Li."
She pointed to the big screen. The remaining five suspects were sitting around a dining table, with the main seat vacant. "Today's case took place in a luxurious villa. The villa's owner, Bai Youqian, was found dead unexpectedly at a banquet celebrating her 50th birthday. There were five suspects present."
"Where is she?" Zhuang Chong asked, "Why hasn't the host of our banquet shown up yet?"
Li Li: "This is Bai Youqian's partner, the president of Zhuang Group. Zhuang has no money."
Jiang Huai knocked on the table twice impatiently: "Who knows what she is doing now?"
Lu Yulin glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, Mom will be down soon."
Li Li wanted to laugh, but she clenched her fists to hold it back. "These two are Bai Youqian's son, Jiang Huaizi... and her second husband, Bai Yulin, who changed his last name after marrying into her family."
Yan Xun was dressed in a suit, but the top three buttons were unbuttoned. He looked very cynical and had nothing in common with the word "social animal". "What were the results of this routine checkup? Is Sister Bai feeling well?"
"Same as before, nothing serious." Gu Shutang said calmly.
Li Li: "Bai Youqian's right-hand men, Secretary Yan and Doctor Gu."
"After waiting for a long time, the five people who were rich but did not get rich went upstairs to check, but they unexpectedly found her body. After considering various factors, they decided to entrust me to investigate and find the real murderer among the five suspects."
Li Li strode into the official recording area: "I'm Detective Li. Where is Bai Youqian's body?"
The first round of searches began immediately.
The six guests were divided into two groups. Li Li and Zhuang Chong were responsible for checking the master bedroom where Bai Youqian's body was found and the guest bedroom next door where Dr. Gu lived. Jiang Huai was assigned to the same group as Gu Shutang.
According to the director team's regulations, there will be protection for novices in the first two recordings, and even the real murderer cannot deliberately hide physical clues.
The first round of evidence search lasted only twenty minutes. Dr. Gu took the initiative to say that he was suspicious of Zhuang Meiqian. Jiang Huaizi also disliked Bai Yulin, his stepfather who married into the family. The two hit it off and decided to conduct the search separately.
Bai Yulin's wardrobe was filled with all kinds of well-made, high-end brand-name clothing, and her jewelry cabinet was filled with all kinds of priceless jewels sparkling. It was obvious that the wealthy lady had spent a lot of money on it.
Jiang Huai had just arrived and decided to record all the clues he found with a Polaroid camera, no matter whether they seemed useful or not.
Jiang Huaizi really wanted to take revenge by turning the entire bedroom upside down, but unfortunately time did not allow it and he only had time to search the most obvious areas in the first round.
There were only five minutes left, and he hurried to collect clues and then stopped his gaze on the safe beside Bai Yulin's bed.
Jiang Huai solved the puzzle in a hurry and entered the password to open the safe. Inside was a small red book, which was the marriage certificate of Bai Yulin and Bai Youqian.
As soon as he saw the words clearly, he snorted coldly in line with the principle of Jiang Huaizi's character and put it aside - this safe requires a password to open, and there is only a marriage certificate in it?
Jiang Huai reached into the safe and fumbled around, trying to find something else. Unexpectedly, he actually found a push-type mechanism.
The production team actually hid a secret compartment in the safe. With a click, the mechanism was unlocked, and Jiang Huai frowned at the camera: "What confidential documents did he hide?"
He took out all the things inside. There were six books of the same shape, size and color as before.
Jiang Huai's pupils dilated instantly, without any acting, just pure shock.
Three marriage certificates and three divorce certificates were neatly placed together.
In each book, Bai Yulin—perhaps it would be more appropriate to call him by his real name, Lu Yulin—has a different surname.
This is the fourth time this expert at marrying into another’s family has gotten married.
On the other side, Lu Yulin sneezed.
He and Yan Xun were assigned to the same group, and they also chose to search separately. There were two rooms here, one was Secretary Yan's office, and the other was Jiang Huaizi's bedroom.
It was impossible for Yan Xun to investigate himself, the division of labor was unquestionable, but before Lu Yulin could say anything, he took it for granted that he entered Jiang Huaizi's bedroom, looking very impatient.
After Lu Yulin finished searching the office, he didn't see Yan Xun outside. He hesitated for a moment, pushed open Jiang Huaizi's bedroom door, and found Yan Xun sitting on the bed, carefully reading a diary.
Yan Xun smiled and read to the camera word by word:
"July 26. I saw the document on Secretary Yan's desk. It was Bai Youqian's will. I couldn't understand why she was in such a hurry to make a will at the age of 50, but it didn't matter anymore. She actually left all her money to that man! What should I do?
July 31. Bai Youqian told me not to care about things I shouldn't care about. It's about my money, why shouldn't I care? She's really crazy! What kind of magic potion did Bai Yulin give her?
August 2nd. Damn it, she still won't change her will. Nothing I can say will work... Maybe I should kill her before she notarizes this will?"
After reading the last sentence, Yan Xun heard the noise and turned to look at Lu Yulin.
Lu Yulin was silent for a moment: "Are you okay? If you are, get off Jiang Huaizi's bed."
He held up the hourglass: "Time is almost up."
