Chapter 42 Luojia Yinxinyanzi 2.0
"Why did you kill him?"
"I'd like to hear everyone's motives for killing."
As soon as Luo Jiayin finished speaking, the chat in all the live stream rooms exploded.
That's a great question!
It strikes at the heart of the matter and hits the nail on the head.
For the guests who were asked the question, they did not expect Luo Jiayin to throw out such a question as soon as she opened her mouth.
How should I answer this...?
This is truly an extraordinary challenge.
The guests carefully considered how to answer, after all, no one wanted to be suspected of being the murderer.
However, the question that Luo Jiayin is asking now seems simple and straightforward, but it is actually very technical and sharp.
"Why did you kill him?" is essentially asking the guests what their individual motives were for killing him.
The motive for murder can be big or small, and it's also possible that the murderer committed the crime impulsively rather than through pre-planned means.
If they don't answer well, they are easily suspected. Even if they weave their words perfectly at this moment, they may still slip up in some later part or explanation.
Moreover, countless viewers are watching their performance, and if they don't perform well, they might get bombarded with criticism from netizens.
Luo Jiayin's gaze swept across everyone's faces. Seeing that no one answered, she smiled and continued, "Since no one is answering, let me start by saying what I have to say."
As she spoke, Luo Jiayin looked at Song Rui, whose favorability towards her was also soaring.
Who wouldn't like a popular idol like Luo Jia, who has strong improvisation skills and is willing to save the day when the show is in a lull?
Song Rui nodded approvingly to Luo Jiayin and said with a smile, "Alright, Young Master Luo, let's start with you."
Luo Jiayin nodded and smiled, then walked to the large blackboard at the front of the room and slowly began to speak.
"My motive for killing was actually very simple."
"Because of love."
Luo Jiayin paused for a few seconds after speaking.
"Love?" Upon seeing this, Wei Lan naturally picked up the conversation and asked.
“Mm.” Luo Jiayin nodded.
This young man named Wei Lan is indeed quite good at appearing on variety shows.
"As I mentioned before, I was taken in by the head of the Wei family when I was young and have been living in the Fulai Inn. My identity is somewhat similar to that of a secret guard."
"Since I am a secret guard, then naturally, I will be assigned by the Wei family head to carry out some special missions."
"Once, I was seriously injured during a mission to exterminate wolf demons. That was the most brutal battle I have ever fought in my life."
"I even forgot how I defeated the wolf demon in the end. My thoughts became very blurry. I only remember the blood-red light filling the sky and the excruciating pain that felt like my whole body was exploding."
"I don't know how much of that blood was from the wolf demon and how much was mine. All I know is that at that moment, I felt like I was going to die..."
Luo Jiayin spoke in a calm tone, as if she were narrating a story.
She spoke softly, while secretly observing the expressions of the guests present.
Sure enough, the guests' attention was drawn to Luo Jiayin's story, and for a moment they even forgot that they were supposed to find loopholes in Luo Jiayin's narration.
Only Gu Yishen calmly watched Luo Jiayin, a slight smile secretly curving his lips when no one was watching.
Luo Jia, that kid, really learns pretty quickly.
He used the same "empathy" tactic in the previous match, but Luo Jia grasped its essence so quickly.
It's true what they say, the new generation surpasses the old! It seems like Luo Jia is trying to wash himself out of the spotlight.
Luo Jiayin wasn't particularly concerned about what Gu Yishen was thinking.
She didn't know why, but she always felt that although Gu Yishen knew some of her secrets, Luo Jiayin just felt that Gu Yishen might not reveal them to her.
However, even though Gu Yishen revealed her situation, Luo Jiayin was not intimidated.
She had already prepared a story in her mind when she was investigating the deceased's room, after handing the notebook with the name "Luo" on it to Gu Yishen.
Luo Jiayin paused for a moment, allowing the other guests to process what had just happened, while glancing in Gu Yishen's direction.
Once Luo Jiayin was certain that Gu Yishen had no intention of exposing her, she began to explain in detail.
"Yes. Before my last shred of consciousness faded, I thought I was going to die."
"But when I woke up again, I found myself lying on a clean bed, with a bright and lovely young girl sitting beside me."
“I turned to look at her, and she was sitting on the edge of the bed, asleep, with one hand supporting her cheek.”
"I tried to get up to check on the situation, but I found that I couldn't muster any strength at all. The noise I made when I tried to get out of bed woke up the girl who was sleeping soundly next to the bed."
"She was overjoyed to see that I was awake. From her, I learned that after I was injured, I had fainted by a nearby stream, and she was the one who found me and rescued me."
"My injuries and my life were saved by this girl and her mother."
After speaking, Luo Jiayin lowered her eyes, her gaze filled with an intense and unyielding sorrow.
Luo Jiayin seemed to have a dry throat. She swallowed and then began to tell the rest of the story in a slightly hoarse and low voice.
"Her name is Su Yueting, and the place is called Taoyuan Village. I will stay at Yueting's house for the time being."
At this point, Luo Jiayin suddenly changed the subject with the word "Yue'er," addressing the girl differently.
Here comes the important part.
Gu Yishen thought to himself.
"Yue'er's father passed away a long time ago, so she grew up with her mother from a young age."
"She is kind and innocent by nature. Under her careful care, my originally serious injuries have been improving visibly day by day."
"Perhaps because we are of similar age but have very different upbringing, Yue'er and I are both very curious about each other's past. We have endless topics to talk about every day when we are together."
“Whenever I tell her my stories in Qiancheng and some of my strange experiences during missions, Yue’er always listens with wide eyes and great interest.”
"I... always find myself looking into her clear eyes while telling her stories, and then forgetting what to say next..."
