Ji Hao surveyed the room and whispered to Gu Wanqing, "How many members are there in your refuge camp?"
Gu Wanqing replied, "More than thirty people."
Ji Hao then asked, "How many superhumans are there?"
Gu Wanqing said, "There's only one eldest."
Ji Hao was quite surprised that it was only Dong Xinran.
Gu Wanqing asked, "Who do you think did it?"
Ji Hao said, "He should be a superhuman."
Dong Xinran's hearing was extraordinary, so he naturally heard Ji Hao's words. He said coldly, "I'm the only superhuman in the base. Are you saying I should kill him?"
Ji Hao shook his head and said, "I didn't say that."
Dong Xinran said coldly, "Then what do you mean?"
Ji Hao said, "Who said you're the only superhuman in the base? What if someone is hiding their superhuman abilities?"
Dong Xinran was taken aback, then became much more vigilant. If there were other superhumans in the base who were secretly attacking him, he would definitely suffer a great loss.
Ji Hao stepped forward and pointed at Li Er's arm, saying, "There are signs of struggle on his hand, and his expression is so terrified. Moreover, his death was so tragic. It's clear that he suffered great torture before he died, but he couldn't resist. In fact, no one heard his screams. Only a superhuman could do that. And I guess the superhuman he awakened was very special. It could probably block people's senses. So Li Er endured great pain, and no matter how much he screamed, no one could detect it."
Everyone seemed to be thinking about it; what Ji Hao said made a lot of sense.
Ji Hao continued, "After killing the person, the murderer was worried that he would be easily seen if he went through the main door, so he probably escaped through the window, which is why the door was locked from the inside."
After hearing Ji Hao's words, Dong Xinran understood. Someone in the base had probably hidden their superpowers and had secretly murdered Li Er last night, escaping through the window. But who was it?
Dong Xinran ordered his men, "Go and summon everyone to me. I want to interrogate them one by one."
"Yes!" The subordinate immediately went to carry out the task.
Soon after, everyone was summoned. When they saw the corpse in the room, their expressions changed drastically, because the corpse's death was truly gruesome, clearly indicating that it had suffered immense torture, with countless wounds on its body.
"Boss, what... what exactly is going on?"
"My God, isn't this Li Er? We met just yesterday."
"Who did it? What grudge did they hold against them?"
.......................................
Although it is the end of the world and people die every day, such gruesome deaths still send chills down everyone's spine.
After all, who can guarantee that they won't be the next victim?
Dong Xinran said sternly, "Line up and tell me what you did last night."
Everyone did as instructed.
After giving his explanation, Dong Xinran had a headache. The hotel never lacked rooms, so most people lived alone, and none of them had an alibi.
Besides, even if they live together, as superhumans, they can easily sneak out and attack while their companion is asleep or knocked unconscious, without being discovered.
What should we do?
Dong Xinran had no clue whatsoever. If he couldn't find out who did it, wouldn't that mean he, as the boss, was incompetent?
Even worse, if more people die next, things will get even more complicated.
The subordinate suddenly said, "By the way, boss, I just remembered that Ma Zi and Li Er had a conflict the day before yesterday, and they almost came to blows. Could it be that...?"
Before his subordinate could finish speaking, a young man with a pockmarked face stepped forward and angrily cursed, "You son of a bitch, Sun Junjie, I haven't done anything to you, have I? Why are you framing me?"
"Framed you?" Sun Junjie said, "I'm just telling the truth. Haven't you and Li Er had any conflicts?"
"We were just joking around and exchanging a few insults, and you're saying we almost came to blows? Hah." The pockmarked man said coldly, "Just because I won a few cigarettes from you in a poker game last time, you're holding a grudge and trying to frame me, aren't you?"
Sun Junjie was also furious and retorted, "You dare to frame your mother? You're not worthy!"
Ma Zi said, "Look, look, we've been exposed."
Sun Junjie said, "You exposed your sister, you murderer!"
"You're the murderer!" Pockmarked man was furious. He rushed over, grabbed Sun Junjie by the collar, and roared, "Say that again if you dare, or I'll kill you!"
Sun Junjie also had a fiery temper. When Ma Zi grabbed his collar, he was so enraged that he swung his fist and punched Ma Zi in the face.
"Damn it!" Ma Zi roared and immediately started fighting with Sun Junjie.
"Stop it, all of you!" Dong Xinran roared.
At the same time, he activated his supernatural power, and a large wooden wall blocked the two of them, forcibly separating them.
Ji Hao's eyes sharpened; this was the first time he had ever seen a wood-type ability user.
Dong Xinran said forcefully, "You two really don't take me seriously?"
Neither Sun Junjie nor Ma Zi said a word.
Dong Xinran continued, "If you dare to do it again, I'll break your legs."
The two lowered their heads, not daring to resist Dong Xinran.
Suddenly, a woman said, "Boss, could it be the work of another force, whose purpose is to sow discord among us, cause internal strife, and then take us down?"
"Huh?" Dong Xinran thought about it and realized it made a lot of sense. Although he had arranged for his men to work the night shift, the hotel was still so big that if it were an outside superhuman, they could easily find an opportunity to sneak in and then attack Li Er.
