Chapter 31 The Stunning Boss Lady
Today is the fiftieth birthday of Wei Shining, the head of the Wei family. The entire Wei mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the atmosphere is joyful.
Who would have thought that before the banquet even began, Master Wei Shining, hailed as the number one martial arts master in the city, would die mysteriously in his room...
"Oh no! Oh no! Someone come quick! The master... the master is dead!!"
The VCR playing the plot gradually went dark amidst a piercing scream.
The scene then shifts, and the guests, now fully immersed in the storyline, are gathered in a room.
There was also a bed in the room, and several guests were gathered around it, their eyes filled with sorrow.
As the camera gradually zoomed in, the audience finally saw the full panorama.
A prop mannequin arranged by the production team is lying face up on the bed, which appears to be Wei Shining, the "victim" killed in today's case.
The blanket that was originally covering the "deceased" has been pulled off.
On the chest of the dummy "corpse," where the heart was, there was a clear wound caused by a sharp object.
When a sharp-eyed guest carefully examined the "corpse" and turned it over, everyone discovered that there was an inconspicuous small hole, about six or seven millimeters in diameter, on the neck of the "deceased" Wei Shining.
While the guests were acting out their sadness and shock, they were all secretly sizing each other up.
However, almost everyone present was a skilled actor, and none of them showed any unusual expression.
After scanning over the guests around her, Luo Jiayin's gaze lingered on them for a while before she quietly began to examine the furnishings around the room.
Before Luo Jiayin could discover any clues, a "guide" came to inform them to leave the crime scene.
The "guide" role set up in the program "Hold the Villain Script Steadfast" is equivalent to the DM in murder mystery games.
The guests were led to a room resembling a reception room and asked to explain their identities, reasons for being there, and alibis in order from left to right.
Sitting on the far left is a girl with a baby face who looks petite and cute. Her name is Pan Qiaona, and she is an idol who debuted in a girl group.
"I am Pan Wuji, a dancer from Miaoyin Pavilion who was invited by Master Wei to perform songs and dances at the Wei family's birthday banquet."
"Around 2 p.m., the sisters from Miaoyinfang and I were led by the servants of the manor to familiarize ourselves with the surroundings. Then at 2:30 p.m., we began our rehearsal in the courtyard where the banquet was to be held."
"We rehearsed until 4:05, when the headmistress told us we could take a half-hour break."
"I stayed in the room for a while, thinking I would go out for some fresh air. Before I knew it, I had walked into Master Wei's courtyard and saw this Young Master Luo."
As she spoke, Pan Qiaona raised her slender hand and pointed at Luo Jiayin, her voice beginning to tremble with a hint of tears.
"I don't know why, maybe Young Master Luo mistook me for a thief and rushed over to hit me. Fortunately, Guard Gu arrived in time and saved me."
"However... he seemed to have mistaken me for someone else. It wasn't until the headmaster's wife came looking for me, around 4:40, that I followed her back to the rehearsal courtyard, and then I heard the news of Master Wei's death."
Luo Jiayin listened attentively to Pan Qiaona's narration while carefully noting down several key dates and characters in her mind.
Pan Qiaona stopped speaking, indicating that she had finished explaining.
The "facilitator" nodded and gestured with his eyes that the next guest could begin speaking.
Sitting to Pan Qiaona's right was Lin Manxi, who had been "parachuted in" at the last minute.
After receiving a signal from the guide, she stood up and took two light steps forward.
Lin Manxi was wearing a light green dress, and her high-bun hairstyle made her even more radiant and beautiful, like a fairy from the heavens who had descended to earth, her beauty beyond compare.
Even Luo Jiayin, who has "seen countless women," couldn't help but sigh: In one word, absolutely amazing!
Pan Qiaona, dressed as a bright red dancer next to her, suddenly seemed less attractive.
Sure enough, the moment Lin Manxi appeared on screen, the live stream chat exploded.
Countless viewers were amazed by Lin Manxi's beauty, exclaiming that she was "stunningly beautiful"!
[Help!! Sister Manxi is so beautiful!!!]
【Ahhh, is my darling Manxi a fairy?】
Are you sure this beautiful woman could be the murderer? I suggest the production team not stir up trouble.
At the same time, the number of viewers in Lin Manxi's personal live stream, where she filmed herself using a single camera, was also skyrocketing.
Inside the Sega Entertainment building, Lin Heisei sat in his office, looking at the screen full of praise for Lin Manxi, and couldn't stop laughing.
Lin Heping was overjoyed, but on the show, Luo Jiayin noticed that Lin Manyi's smile didn't seem to reach her eyes, and there was even a hint of resentment in her expression.
That shouldn't be the case...
At this moment, Lin Manxi is enjoying unparalleled glory and is able to have close contact with Gu Yishen. She has finally gotten what she wanted, so there's no reason for her not to be happy.
Is it because of the plot?
That's not right either.
Logically speaking, the role assigned to Lin Manxi shouldn't have any particular love-hate relationship with the deceased Master Wei.
Luo Jiayin was completely baffled.
Because Lin Manyi was to Gu Yishen's right, while Luo Jiayin was also next to Gu Yishen, to his left.
Therefore, when looking at Lin Manyi, Luo Jiayin's gaze inevitably swept over Gu Yishen.
Suddenly, Luo Jiayin remembered that when she first entered the venue and saw Gu Yishen, she felt that he was "out of place".
Thinking back to Pan Qiaona's words, Luo Jiayin suddenly understood.
No wonder...
So Gu Yishen secretly switched roles with another guest!
Then... Luo Jiayin knew the reason without even thinking. Since Lin Manyi couldn't possibly have any love-hate relationship with the deceased, it must have been Gu Yishen's basic operation to avoid any love-hate relationship with Lin Manyi.
Um……
It seems Gu Yishen really doesn't like Lin Manxi...
What a waste of such a beautiful woman!
Lin Manxi curtsied, her entire demeanor perfectly captured.
Then she smiled slightly at the camera and finally spoke amidst the eager anticipation of countless viewers in front of the screen.
"I am the owner of the Lin Manor, the proprietress of the famous Zui Xian Winery in this area."
As soon as Lin Manxi opened her mouth, the live chat exploded again.
[My goodness, can she really be the owner of a small winery?]
Honestly, if all winery owners were this beautiful, I could probably understand why people in ancient times loved drinking so much...
