Bai Lin frowned in disgust as he looked at the happy scene.
Suddenly, he put on an innocent expression and asked, "My ID card is the highest among all the people present, right?"
Bai Lin's ID card shows that he is the adopted son of Lord Coles, and he hopes to kill the dragon to please his father.
Since Lord Coles knew him, the possibility of the evil dragon disguising himself as him was indeed the smallest among the eight people.
After all, disguising oneself as Lord Coles's adopted son is not an easy task.
When everyone present suddenly heard Bai Lin say this, they instantly shifted all their attention to him.
Huo Yanzhi rested his arms on the edge of the table, supported his chin with his hands, frowned slightly, and agreed: "What Bai Lin said makes sense."
Seeing the first echo, Bai Lin immediately tried to control the situation and said, "In that case, I would like to raise a few doubts."
Yun Guanqing glanced at You Mian, and when he saw that the other party did not change his expression, he lowered his eyes and smiled.
"First of all." Bai Lin looked at Guan Tong and said, "Guan Tong is a businessman, but he can't produce any evidence to prove that he and my father do have a contract."
"Who can say that he really made a contract with the prince to buy and sell the dragon? No one."
"So it's easy to tell this lie, and it's also easy for the evil dragon to disguise himself as such a businessman."
Guan Tong's eyes widened, looking like he was about to retort.
But Bai Lin didn’t give him a chance, and instantly threw the suspicion back on Shen Nanxiao.
“Secondly, the appearance of the missionary Shen Nanxiao was also very sudden. My father doesn’t usually interact with these people. Why did he suddenly invite him to the dinner?”
"So his appearance is also very suspicious." Bai Lin smiled harmlessly.
Ana Shen raised his head and looked back at Bai Lin, his expression was still gentle, and he showed no signs of rebuttal like Guan Tong.
Everyone's conversation gradually stopped, and they listened quietly to Bai Lin's questions, and continued to wait to see who else he could point out.
The next second, everyone saw Bai Lin looking at You Mian with a smile and said, "But I'm most suspicious of You Mian."
You Mian lazily raised his eyelids.
After Bai Lin mentioned You Mian's name, he immediately shrugged his shoulders, stuck out his tongue, and smiled obediently, "You Mian, you won't be angry, will you?"
"But I really think you're suspicious... Everyone else present has an extra timeline, but you don't have any extra entry events. Either your ID card is really blank, or you are deliberately hiding it."
"I can't think of any other answer except the evil dragon for the person who chose to hide his identity at the very beginning of the story." Bai Lin said with a smile.
Bai Lin actually didn't care about winning or losing the game, but as long as he could make You Mian unhappy, he would be happy.
That's why he just talked nonsense, deliberately raising You Mian's presence a lot more.
After Bai Lin finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow and waited for You Mian's explanation.
See what he can say.
But just as Bai Lin raised his chin slightly, waiting for You Mian to nervously explain, the other party did not do what he expected, but just smiled faintly.
You Mian looked up at the entertainment room's interior decoration and said softly, "I remember there was a search for evidence in the middle. Is it almost time?"
You Mian said this sentence at the right time, and as expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the stereo surround mechanical sound of the program team sounded again, the lights suddenly dimmed, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
Guan Tong covered his heart and was almost frightened again.
[It seems that all the guests have already investigated each other's identities and backgrounds. Here are some unknown hidden clues for your reference. 】
The mechanical sound stopped, and a small platform rose in the center of the round table. On the platform was a small iron box. The lid of the box was open, and inside was a thick stack of clue cards.
Everyone's eyes were fixed there instantly.
At a quick glance, it is not difficult to find that the names of eight guests are written on each clue card.
They stood up one by one, approached the small stage, bent over and picked up their own stack of clue cards.
After You Mian picked it up, he calmly placed the clue card in his palm, with no intention of opening it.
As soon as the small stage was empty, the reminder sounded again: [The clue cards are very important and may involve the privacy of each guest. You can decide whether to make them public or hide them. 】
As soon as the mechanical sound disappeared, the lights in the room came on.
Everyone lowered their heads and looked at their clue cards.
Bai Lin was the first to finish flipping through the cards. He immediately placed all of his clue cards in the middle of the round table and said, "I choose to make all of my clue cards public."
When Bai Lin said this, his eyes were fixed on You Mian who was not far away from him, and his tone of provocation became stronger and stronger.
You Mian was not at all provoked by his provocation, and still picked out two clue cards step by step and spread them out on the round table.
Bai Lin couldn't hide his smile, and just when he was about to say "Why did you only reveal two?", he saw Pei Huaiji, who was sitting next to You Mian, only pulled out one clue card and placed it on the table.
"I'll show you one." Pei Huaiji said in a deep voice.
This time, no one paid attention to You Mian who had released two photos, and instead everyone paid attention to Pei Huaiji.
There were five clue cards spread out in front of Yun Guanqing, and the others also had two or three cards in front of them.
Yan Tingxuan smiled and raised his glasses. "President Pei only released one photo? Don't you think it's too little?"
Pei Huaiji was unmoved, his cold expression was as indifferent as an iceberg, making it difficult to approach him, let alone pry any unfavorable information out of him.
"I have a lot of privacy, please forgive me." Pei Huaiji spoke in a polite tone, but the content was not polite at all.
Yan Tingxuan pursed his lips, his expression almost turning cold.
Yun Guanqing tapped the table lightly with his fingers. "Whether you disclose or hide it, it's all voluntary. We can't force others. But you have to know that the more you hide, the more suspicious others will be."
Yun Guanqing spread out the clue cards in front of him as he spoke, "These are the timeline of my experience at the dinner party and the events I went through. They are the same as what I said before, there is no difference."
Yun Guanqing set an example, and others followed suit, almost clearing up all the doubts about themselves.
Guan Tong took out the Chamber of Commerce certificate, and Shen Nanxiao took out the proof of the incident in which he had prayed for him in Wang Jue's mansion.
It's You Mian's turn now.
The boy's amber eyes curved into a smile, and he generously laid out two clue cards.
"One card shows me meeting the prince on the street and he gave me the invitation. The other card shows me leaving for dinner after resting in my room for a few hours. The two cards were posted right after each other and nothing else happened in between."
The two cards that You Mian displayed almost cleared all his doubts.
He really did as he said and stayed in the room the whole time. When he came out, he went straight to the dinner venue.
Now, even if Bai Lin continues to hold on to him, others have no reason to follow suit.
Huo Yanzhi had two clue cards in his hand, and Yan Tingxuan also had two or three clues in his hand that were not revealed.
Because there were quite a few people who had not made their information public, Bai Lin had no way of making a fuss about it.
Yun Guanqing stared at You Mian and smiled, "Could it be that your luck is so bad that you really drew a marginal character card?"
You Mian tilted his head, "Who knows."
Pei Huaiji lowered his eyes and calmly answered other people's questions.
After rounds of games, the suspects were finally narrowed down to Huo Yanzhi and Pei Huaiji.
Huo Yanzhi once walked into the garden during the dinner, but he couldn't say who he met there or what he did.
Pei Huaiji, as a warrior from a neighboring country, not only had no weapons, but was also holding a cane. Not only was his timeline questionable, but only one clue card was made public, forcing others to regard him as a key suspect.
Soon it was time to vote.
As the lights gradually dimmed, everyone voted by name.
【Huo Yanzhi】
You Mian and Guan Tong raised their hands.
Guan Tong smiled when he saw that You Mian had the same ticket shape as him.
【Pei Huaiji】
When the program crew's mechanical voice read out his name, everyone else in the room raised their hands, and it seemed that they all thought he was the evil dragon.
[Huo Yanzhi received two votes, Pei Huaiji received four votes, and the evil dragon voted by the guests was Pei Huaiji. 】
In the atmosphere of everyone's anxiety, the production team created suspense and made them wait for five seconds before revealing the final answer: [The human camp lost the game, and the dragon won! 】
Guan Tong covered his head and uttered an "ah". He looked at Huo Yanzhi, then stared at Pei Huaiji, and said in disbelief: "Brother Huo, you are the evil dragon, right? It must be you!"
The people who voted for Pei Huaiji couldn't help but look confused at this moment.
Yun Guanqing picked up the clue card and smiled, "You guys are really cheating by hiding so many clues on purpose. Who is it?"
Huo Yanzhi lowered his head and said nothing, and Yan Tingxuan beside him was also exceptionally silent.
Only Bai Lin stared at You Mian and said, "You Mian, it's you, right?"
Pei Huaiji turned his head to look at You Mian, and Guan Tong, who had been confused, also looked at You Mian after hearing this, "Damn, no way? Honey, don't tell me you are an evil dragon!"
You Mian smiled and turned over the ID card in his hand in front of everyone.
The two words "Evil Dragon" were clearly printed on it, instantly pushing the atmosphere in the whole room to the extreme.
“Ahhh!” Guan Tong shook You Mian’s shoulders and arms, “You hid it too deeply!”
Guan Tong helplessly made an exaggerated gesture of wiping tears, "But why was You Mian able to hide so well? None of us suspected him later!"
Ana Shen also showed an obvious surprised expression for the first time, and asked with a smile: “I also want to know, I really didn’t have any doubts about You Mian in the later period, and I believed the remarks of that marginal role card.”
Pei Huaiji sat silently beside You Mian. There was no emotion of losing the game in his eyes. Instead, his eyes were full of smiles.
In the lively atmosphere, Yun Guanqing was the first to find something wrong and said, "The problem lies in the clue cards you guys hid."
Guan Tong immediately raised his hands, "I have made all the clue cards public."
Ana Shen followed closely, “I’ve also made it public.”
The only people who didn't reveal their identities were You Mian, who played the evil dragon, Pei Huaiji, who only revealed one clue card, and Yan Tingxuan and Huo Yanzhi, who each hid two or three clue cards.
Yun Guanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "I can understand that You Mian hid clues, but why did you three also hide clues?"
If all the clues were out in the open, the evil dragon would not have won the game so easily.
Huo Yanzhi scratched his head without saying anything. Bai Lin, who was sitting next to him, suddenly stood up and flipped open the clue card in front of him.
It was written on the card: [I once saw a casual You Mian in the backyard of a dinner party. He was wearing a knight's outfit with a white feather on his chest. The gold powder was still very eye-catching in the night. 】
Gold dust? Eye-catching?
Bai Lin understood immediately, "This is to remind You Mian that there is a shiny item on his body that only evil dragons would like! It's an important clue!"
Bai Lin's eyes were sharp, "Brother Huo, why are you hiding?"
In everyone's sight, Huo Yanzhi only said hesitantly: "My role is a bounty hunter who opposes the Dragon Slaying Order, so of course I have to hide."
Bai Lin: “…”
Yun Guanqing frowned and smiled helplessly. He asked, "Where is Yan Tingxuan? What clues did he hide?"
Without waiting for others to come closer, Yan Tingxuan turned over the clue cards himself.
All the points point directly to You Mian.
[Before the dinner started, I went to You Mian's room by chance, but found no signs that anyone had ever lived there. 】
[You Mian's knight costume doesn't fit him well. It doesn't look like it was specially customized. It looks more like he borrowed it from someone else. 】
Guan Tong covered his head and wailed, "You are too biased! Once these clues come out, You Mian will not be able to hide until the end!"
You Mian turned his head to look at Pei Huaiji's clue card, and saw that it said: [There is a sword handed down from generation to generation hidden inside the crutch, and there is a portrait of an evil dragon in human form painted on the hilt. 】
You Mian clearly saw that the production crew actually drew his image on the small sword.
With his curly chestnut hair, it's him to anyone who sees him.
You Mian smiled helplessly and said, "You knew it was me from the beginning."
Pei Huaiji responded calmly, with tenderness in his eyes, "Yeah."
A dragon slayer actually chose to hide the most crucial clue for the sake of a dragon.
Yun Guanqing looked at Yan Tingxuan and said without any consideration: "It is understandable that Huo Yanzhi did not reveal the clue according to the setting of the character card, but Yan Tingxuan, why did you hide the clue?"
Guan Tong and others had already stood up and started moving around. Several people in the lively room looked at Yan Tingxuan.
It was also at this moment that Guan Tong suddenly remembered that this was a dating show! Even if they were playing a script-killing game just now, it was also a script-killing game in a dating variety show.
So of course the guests will do favoritism for the person they like, which they would not do in normal games.
Guan Tong's gaze moved from Huo Yanzhi and Yan Tingxuan to Pei Huaiji.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart again, You Mian is awesome.
Sure enough, facing Yun Guanqing's sharp question, Yan Tingxuan glanced at You Mian not far away and said, "I just want to hide."
Yun Guanqing's eyes darkened slightly, and he smiled and said, "Really?"
You Mian didn't hear their conversation clearly. He just smiled at Guan Tong who was still wailing and said, "I didn't expect that I could disguise myself to the end. I was planning to reveal a little bit of my identity in the clue link and take the opportunity to introduce my new knight identity."
"But I didn't expect that you would clear me of all suspicion before I could use it."
Guan Tong covered his face, wondering who would have thought that there would be so many people in a group who would deliberately hide clues and protect the evil dragon.
If You Mian couldn't think of it, he couldn't think of it even more!
Amid the lively conversation, Bai Lin was the only one whose expression turned extremely ugly.
He had never expected that except for Shen Nanxiao and Guan Tong, almost everyone else paved the way for You Mian's victory in the game.
The clues hidden by Yan Tingxuan and Huo Yanzhi were like a hard slap in his face, causing him to feel so painful that he felt embarrassed.
Bai Lin pursed his lips tightly, waiting for the production team to finally notify him that the game session was over, then he immediately opened the door and was the first to walk out of the entertainment room.
At the same time, public opinion on the Internet about You Mian's arbitrary addition of drama in the "Matching Heartbeat" program by relying on backstage support gradually climbed to the top of the hot list as the audience discussed it.
[I really counted the items I wanted to purchase several times, and I couldn't buy them all with 500 yuan. 】
[There is a backer, what else can I say?] 】
[You’ll know after trying it. That supermarket is not far from my home. I’ll go and see how much I can buy with 500 yuan. 】
[In order to create the character of You Miancao as a memory genius, the production team lost all their shame. 】
[It's a pity that the other guests worked so hard on the filming, but the result was not as good as the amateur college student who simply spent a lot of money to buy a bunch of ingredients and pretended to have strong computing skills. 】
[Why don’t you just watch the dating variety show? Why do you care so much? 】
[I'm sorry that I'm too nosy. I can't stand "amateurs" who use the backstage to get ahead. 】
Seeing that public opinion was growing more and more intense, the new fans who had previously experienced the entrance examination incident could not help but feel worried once again.
What's going on? Why does negative public opinion about Mianmian increase so quickly every time? 】
[There is no cost in spreading rumors, I feel sorry for Mianmian.] 】
[Last time, many of Bai Lin’s fans were involved. I wonder if they will be the ones to be involved again this time. 】
[Damn, I'm so sympathetic. Is it necessary to keep holding on to these points? 】
Some "passers-by" became even more aggressive after seeing someone speaking up for You Mian. But before they could continue to ferment the rumors, this time the public relations team of the "Matching Heartbeat" program, under the leadership of Hong Sheng, did not let the hot search continue to rise, but directly posted a clarification invoice on the homepage of the official Weibo.
[Matching Heartbeat official Weibo: [Picture] The account details are above. Please all parties stop slandering and spreading rumors in time. 】
