Chapter 41 Why did you kill him?
No matter how much you argue, netizens will find every possible "loophole" to refute you.
In fact, Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen really didn't have much interaction. At most, she kindly helped Gu Yishen out of a predicament yesterday, and the two of them went home together for hot pot.
But for some reason, these two did all these intimate things on a TV show today.
They acted as if they were afraid others wouldn't know that something was going on between them.
Yu Jiu felt that, now, the "rumors" about Luo Jia and Gu Yishen were probably going to be confirmed...
What puzzled Yu Jiu was that, at this point, why hadn't any of the media outlets that appeared at Xingda Shopping Mall yesterday come out to clarify the situation?
It's true that the "mysterious big shot" in the video is Gu Yishen.
But what exactly happened between the two of them at Xingda Shopping Mall yesterday? Why did they go home together? There were so many people present at the time, and these things should have been clearly explained then and there.
How come the so-called "exposés" from paparazzi and marketing accounts have generated such a lot of buzz today, yet not a single media outlet has come forward to refute them?
Are they really willing to miss out on this huge wave of fresh, hot, and high-quality hype?
Yu Jiu didn't believe it.
She would never believe it, no matter what!
As more and more so-called "insiders" reveal information, the topic of Gu Yishen and Luo Jia has become ridiculously popular.
Not only on Weibo, but also in the live stream of "Please Hold On to the Villain's Script," thanks to the "explanation" from some netizens who came from Weibo to watch the drama, more and more viewers in the live stream also learned about this matter.
The comments section erupted in uproar.
[Holy crap!! Do Luo Jia and Gu Yishen really have some kind of... indescribable relationship (please use your imagination, this will be censored)?!]
[I really think they look alike! If they weren't just good friends, there wouldn't be this much of a romantic connection between them.]
The person upstairs is right.
[Oh well, who cares? As long as it's a good ship, that's all that matters. Luo Jia and Actor Gu are a perfect match... what's wrong with shipping them?]
[Yeah, even though I'm a huge fan of Luo Jia's younger brother, I'd be even happier if they actually got together!]
Gu Yishen's fans say they can enjoy this sweet moment.
[You guys...seriously, is it okay to say these things...?]
The online discussion about Luo Jia and Gu Yishen's "relationship being exposed" is in full swing, with some people happily shipping them and becoming fans of the couple.
Some of the couple's female fans also expressed their inability to accept it.
Some said they would turn from fans to haters, some said they would never believe in love again, and some even radically threatened to jump off buildings...
In conclusion, regardless of how the two companies clarify, Luo Jia and Gu Yishen's performance on the show today seems to have indirectly confirmed the claims circulating online.
There's definitely something fishy going on between them!
...
On set, fifteen minutes passed quickly as the show progressed, and the guests had finished gathering evidence and moved on to the first round of group reasoning.
The first group deduction session involves gathering the guests together, sharing all the clues they have collected, and then using these clues to complete the deduction.
After the deduction, the guests will enter a closed voting room and vote for the person they think is most likely to be the murderer.
Led by Song Rui, the guests arrived at the centralized reasoning room.
On the blackboard, the production team had already pasted photos of the "victim" and several guests on the large blackboard in the room, and also marked the relationship between each "suspect" and the "deceased".
After the guests were seated, the entire deduction room fell silent.
They all thought this episode would be just like any other, but no one expected the script to be this difficult.
The biggest challenge for domestic variety shows now is to have enough gimmicks and novel, unique, and eye-catching ideas.
Logically speaking, a show like "Hold On to the Villain's Script" has maintained high popularity and viewership since its first season.
As the first variety show in China with a mystery theme, the production team certainly knew the principle of "do or die" (meaning to succeed or die trying).
Therefore, following the usual practice of previous programs, in order to avoid making the guests feel that the experience is too bad, the production team generally will not give the guests any particularly difficult scripts to play.
But the guests really found today's script difficult.
It's so hard, so incredibly hard...
At this moment, Song Rui, a "guide" with rich hosting experience, stepped forward at the right time.
"Okay, now we've moved on to our first intensive deduction segment."
"Then let's speak in order. Let's start with our first guest, Master Lin."
Lin Manxi had never played murder mystery games much before, nor had she appeared on many variety shows. The reason she was able to come to "Hold On to the Villain's Script" was because of Gu Yishen.
She's fine with acting a little, but asking her to do something as mentally taxing as accusing someone of a crime...
Lin Manxi was a little intimidated.
Moreover, she had no idea what to say. She had originally planned to listen to what the other guests had to say first, and then speak later, so that she could simply follow the example of what the guests who spoke before her had said.
But by sheer coincidence, her seat was right in the first place, so according to Song Rui, she was doomed to be the first to speak.
Lin Manxi stood up reluctantly, stammering for a long time before finally managing to speak.
"Let me start."
Just as the guests were waiting for Lin Manyi to speak, but she didn't say anything coherent, Luo Jiayin, who was sitting in a relatively back seat, finally stood up.
Lin Manyi glanced at Luo Jiayin, and the other guests also looked at Luo Jiayin with curious eyes.
Clearly, Lin Manxi herself hadn't expected that no matter how many "resentful" glances she gave Gu Yishen, he wouldn't even look at her directly.
But at this moment, Luo Jia was actually willing to step in and help her out of the predicament.
Lin Manxi swore that at this moment, she was 100% genuinely grateful to Luo Jia.
Lin Manyi gave Luo Jiayin a grateful look and then sat down again.
When Song Rui first made the suggestion, he didn't expect Lin Manyi to be so "unpresentable." The awkwardness he felt at first eased instantly because of Luo Jiayin's volunteering.
Luo Jiayin looked around, her gaze sweeping over each of the guests present.
"I would like to ask everyone a question, and I hope you can all answer it in this way."
She smiled slightly, and then blurted out a sentence that caught everyone off guard.
"Why did you kill the head of the Wei family?"
