Chapter 47 Luo Jiayin's Guided Reasoning
Inside the intensive deduction room, Luo Jiayin pondered as she looked through the clues they had found in the two rounds of investigation.
This is Luo Jiayin's first time on this show, and also her first time on a mystery-solving variety show.
No one knows whether Luo Jia is truly exceptionally intelligent and possesses strong reasoning abilities, or whether he is simply being mysterious and bluffing.
However, seeing her serious and earnest demeanor, the guests still harbored a sliver of hope for Luo Jiayin.
Luo Jiayin watched for a while, then suddenly smiled slightly, as if she already understood.
Seeing Luo Jiayin's confident expression, Gu Yishen couldn't help but feel a little more expectant.
However, he didn't really expect Luo Jiayin to offer any constructive opinions, since this script was truly difficult to write.
Furthermore, the changes were made at the last minute due to Lin Manxi's "sudden arrival".
It's safe to say that since the variety show "Hold On to the Villain's Script" premiered, this episode's script is the most hardcore ever.
Luo Jiayin reviewed her thoughts and felt that there should be no major problems in the overall direction.
So she cleared her throat and began her reasoning.
"Since our goal is to find the murderer, the most important point is to find out what the victim's final, fatal blow was."
"Only by finding the real reason for the death of the Wei family head can we find the murderer based on the clues we have."
“Look at this photo, the ‘corpse’ of the Wei family head.”
"He had a clear stab wound on his chest. Based on this, and combined with the clues we had previously collected that could be the murder weapon, we can conclude that the wound on his chest was caused by a dagger engraved with Young Master Wei's name, as well as the dagger that Guard Gu found in the yard."
As Luo Jiayin spoke, she retrieved the relevant images one by one and projected them onto the big screen.
"This is the dagger engraved with Young Master Wei's name, and this one is Guard Gu's dagger. There is no blood on either dagger, so it should have been wiped clean."
"Wait a minute, Young Master Luo, do we have any direct evidence pointing to this dagger that was discarded in the yard as mine?"
Gu Yishen interrupted Luo Jiayin with a dark expression.
Luo Jiayin dismissed it, simply saying, "There's nothing I can do if you don't admit it, but that dagger must be yours. In my reasoning, the whole plot can only hold true if that dagger is yours."
Gu Yishen was instantly choked and unable to utter another word.
Okay! So, just to make your reasoning work, the dagger that might have been the murder weapon must be mine?!
Gu Yishen thought to himself, and even gave Luo Jiayin a somewhat resentful look.
Luo Jiayin felt a chill run down her spine and, without thinking, offered a defense for Gu Yishen.
"However, Guard Gu is definitely not the murderer! That's for sure. Guard Gu, you don't need to be nervous. Since we're all here today, each of us is a suspect and has a motive for murder in this case."
After hearing Luo Jiayin's words, Gu Yishen nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied.
"Of course, there are also attempted murders...like you..."
Gu Yishen was just feeling somewhat satisfied when Luo Jiayin's next sentence made him so angry that he wanted to swear.
“So what if I attempted murder? I had reasons to kill him, I had the idea to kill him, and I even put my intention to kill him into action.”
"But you also said that our goal is to find the real culprit. So what if I failed to kill someone? Attempted murder, attempted murder, means I didn't kill anyone."
Gu Yishen stopped keeping quiet and directly retorted to Luo Jiayin.
Just kidding, who isn't a pampered baby at heart? Who doesn't have a temper?
We're both only children, and we both went through nine years of compulsory education. I've covered up so many clues for you, and you're not only ungrateful, but you're also sabotaging me!
This is intolerable! Even if Uncle can tolerate it, I, Gu Yishen, cannot!
Instantly, Gu Yishen's "high-and-mighty" persona came to the fore.
Half of the viewers in the live stream were captivated by Gu Yishen's arrogant demeanor, while the other half were enjoying Gu Yishen and Luo Jia's public "banter and affectionate display."
Luo Jiayin didn't expect that Gu Yishen, who seemed so laid-back, had always had an "I don't care what anyone thinks" attitude.
She was just stating the truth based on the logic of accusing someone of being the culprit, so why are you unhappy...?
This "old man" is quite arrogant.
Luo Jiayin looked at Gu Yishen, blinked a few times, and decided not to argue with him. She then continued with her reasoning.
“We will continue according to each person’s timeline.”
“Pan Wuji has confessed that she used the hairpin in her hair to stab the head of the Wei family. The black bloodstains left on the ground at the scene also prove that someone was indeed poisoned by the poison that Pan Wuji applied to the hairpin.”
“But if we examine the Wei family head’s ‘corpse’ more closely, we can see that the blood flowing from the ‘corpse’ is red, which indicates that the Wei family head himself was not poisoned.”
Then Luo Jiayin played a picture of Pan Wuji's hairpin and a picture of the "corpse," enlarged the stabbed part of the "corpse," and placed it side by side with Pan Wuji's hairpin.
“Look, Pan Wuji’s hairpin wouldn’t leave such a big hole when it pricks someone. Moreover, Pan Wuji also pricked me with her hairpin in the same way in the courtyard of the Wei family head.”
"And the wounds on the head of the Wei family are completely different from both the hairpin on Pan Wuji's body and the wounds I was stabbed by Pan Wuji."
"Based on our existing clues and evidence, the so-called wound on the head of the Wei family that was stabbed by Pan Wuji corresponds exactly to the diameter of this blood-stained pen."
"So, the wounds on the head of the Wei family were caused by a pen. What does this mean?"
Luo Jiayin is very good at seizing opportunities. Her well-timed pause not only made the atmosphere more suspenseful for the audience, but also fully stimulated the guests' thinking and enthusiasm for discussion.
“This means that the person who was stabbed by Pan Wuji back then was not Father!” Wei Lan’s mind raced, and he picked up where Luo Jiayin left off.
"Then who was the person that Pan Wuji stabbed?" Luo Jiayin asked again.
"Hmm..." Wei Lan really didn't know at this moment.
Following Luo Jiayin's train of thought, it was quite normal for him to realize that the person Pan Wuji had stabbed was a fake Wei family head. However, if asked who the person who impersonated the Wei family head was, Wei Lan truly had no idea.
