A hint of regret flashed across Xia Chongwen's eyes, but almost no one noticed.
Except Xia Xiaoxian!
Soon, he returned to normal, and like the other eight people, he received his own letter from the man in the flying fish suit.
Although everyone received their own exclusive letterhead, they were not in a hurry to open it.
Only Xia Xiaoxian, she didn't even need to open it.
She guessed it just by looking at the man in the flying fish suit.
The three words "deceitful person" must be written on the letterhead belonging to her.
There can be no other.
In fact, just now when Xia Chongwen proposed the idea of everyone leaving alive together, Xia Xiaoxian had also thought about it.
But in just a moment, she suddenly understood the purpose of Xu Yunxuan's painstaking efforts in setting up this game.
Storybook killing?
Quite interesting!
It seems that in this game, only the other eight will die.
Xia Xiaoxian quietly put the letter in her hand into her sleeve, her expression as usual.
"I think everyone has nothing else to say. So please remember that among the nine people present, there is only one 'Trickster'..."
The man in the flying fish suit paused, then pointed at Zhang Mingbao and said, "Let's start with you."
"What? Me?" Zhang Mingbao was a little stunned. She had never expected that the man in the flying fish suit would let her start.
Xia Xiaoxian was also a little surprised. Zhang Mingbao happened to be right next to her. If they told the story one by one, she would be the last person to tell the story among the nine people.
The situation was not favorable for Xia Xiaoxian from the start, which did surprise her a little.
Fortunately, she is both the only 'deceitful person' and the only 'clear-headed person'.
Xia Xiaoxian turned around and looked calmly at Zhang Mingbao beside her.
"My name is Mingbao, uh... I'm the top performer at Lichunlou. Yeah, you're right, I sell my art but not my body!"
At this time, everyone noticed that Zhang Mingbao was wearing a goose yellow strapless gauze dress as thin as a cicada's wing, and her hair was combed into a high bun.
It is indeed the favorite outfit of brothel girls.
"Before I came here, it was because the madam said that a patron had spent a large sum of money and specifically asked for my service. She even sent a sedan chair with eight bearers to pick me up at Lichun Tower."
"Who knew, as soon as I got on the sedan chair carried by eight people, it started to shake, making me dizzy, and then the huge signboard of Lichun Tower fell down."
"I was so scared that I quickly closed my eyes..."
"When I opened my eyes again, I was already here."
"You are the cunning one!" Li Jiujiang jumped up suddenly, looking very excited, as if he had discovered some huge loophole.
"You...!" Zhang Mingbao's eyes were filled with panic. "I'm not!"
"Since you were already dizzy from the shaking, how could you have known that it was the large plaque of Lichunlou that hit the sedan chair?"
Li Jiujiang's eyes were sharp and his tone was aggressive.
"Don't talk nonsense. Although I felt dizzy, just as I was about to step out of the sedan chair, I looked up and saw a signboard falling down."
Zhang Mingbao looked at the others, all of whom had more or less suspicious looks. She added, "I remember it was at the gate of Lichun Tower. I got on a sedan chair carried by eight men. And the sedan hasn't moved yet. That's not the sign for Lichun Tower. Could it be Liqiu Tower?"
After listening to Zhang Mingbao's explanation, everyone fell into deep thought.
When Zhang Mingbao recounted what happened, her tone was calm and there was really no trace of lying in her voice.
"Stop making noise! Okay, next one!"
The man in the flying fish suit spoke in a cold voice, and everyone present felt their hearts suddenly shrink.
The person next to Zhang Mingbao happened to be Li Jiujiang.
"Is it my turn?" He looked at the man in the flying fish suit inquiringly.
"yes!"
The man in the flying fish suit nodded.
"My name is Jiujiang, and my nickname is 'Flying on the Grass'." Li Jiujiang was dressed in black, which was quite consistent with his nickname.
"Before I came here, I was being chased by a constable. In desperation, I fled to the roof of Lichun Building."
"I didn't expect the constable to catch up with me. Just as I was about to be stabbed in the calf by his dagger, I suddenly jumped up and bumped into the constable's head."
"When I fell from the roof, I accidentally hit the plaque of Lichun Building, and then..."
“And then we got here!”
"You're lying!" Zhang Mingbao pointed at Li Jiujiang and shouted after listening to his story, "When the plaque fell, I didn't see any human figures falling with it."
"Why do you call me a liar?" Li Jiujiang asked angrily, "Is it because I doubted you?"
"No, I said the plaque of Lichun Tower fell down, and you said it hit the plaque! You are clearly making it up according to my words."
"Besides, I was hit by a falling plaque at the Lichun Tower in Xijing City, but the badge on your waist clearly says Yanjing!"
"Yes! You are right, I am indeed from Yanjing!"
"Is there also a Lichun Tower in Yanjing City? It can't be such a coincidence!"
"Besides, you are a thief yourself, so lying comes naturally to you! So, you are the cunning one!" Zhang Mingbao pointed at Li Jiujiang and said.
"You haven't met the daughter of a good family, but a prostitute. Naturally, you are making up lies!" Li Jiujiang looked at Zhang Mingbao with disdain.
Xia Xiaoxian looked at the two of them and secretly laughed in her heart.
Aunt Yun’s arrangement was indeed clever. She was in Kyoto and she knew that there was also a Lichun Tower in Kyoto.
"Stop arguing! It's your turn to speak now." The man in the Feiyu suit crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes cold. He pointed at Zhang Mingyu, "Everyone, finish speaking, and then we can judge together."
Li Jiujiang and Zhang Mingbao immediately shut up.
Who knows when this man will strike again?
Zhang Mingyu saw the man pointing at her and nodded quickly. She said, "My name is Mingyu. Before I came here, I was waiting on the second floor of Lichun Tower for the madam to pay for this month's embroidery."
"I'm just an embroiderer. I make some pocket money every month by embroidering sachets and purses for the girls in Lichunlou."
"Usually the madam always tells me to go to the corridor on the second floor of Lichun Building and wait for her to get the money."
"But I didn't expect the wait to be so long. Just when I was feeling tired and leaning against the window frame in the aisle, feeling a little sleepy, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my head. When I opened my eyes again, I was already here."
Lichunlou again?
I just don’t know which Lichunlou embroiderer Zhang Mingyu is from?
"Miss, I guess you're not from Xijing or Yanjing. Your clothes look like those of the Mongolians from the pre-Yuan Dynasty!"
"Yes, I am from Beilin."
To the north, there is also a Lichun Tower.
Things are getting more interesting.
