Am I such a coward?
Lu Xiaoyao's voice was like a rooster with its neck stuck; she never expected her appearance to be like this!
Yeah, I'm such a coward!
Yes! A complete noob, a total noob!
【What else? When I heard that, my first instinct was that it was our kid!】
Yes, yes, that's really true, it's hard not to believe it.
My son is one of the murderers, right?
"Kid, confess!"
...
Lu Xiaoyao trembled with anger and said, "Who was it that rushed onto the battlefield to kill zombies yesterday? Who dared to go head-to-head with the giant wolf? Where did I back down?!"
After a year in the game, Lu Xiaoyao felt that she could not be called cowardly at all; she was so brave!
Julian couldn't help but nod in agreement: "She is indeed very fierce..."
"We won't back down!"
If Lu Xiaoyao is exonerated, Mu Ning and Qi Haikui won't be happy either!
Who wants to admit they're a coward?
The three of them started arguing again. Mu Chen silently observed the group of people present without saying a word. In the end, it was Ai Qi Si who stopped them.
She continued, "There's more than one killer, but we still lack information. Shall we review the timeline from this afternoon?"
When did Wang Wenfei become alone, and how did she die? Qi Haikui and Mu Ning both have alibis, which we'll need to verify again later. But what about the timelines of the others? Does anyone have corroboration?
Mingmei saw that someone in the live stream was finally bringing up these scenes, and she became interested as well. She really wanted to curse when these people suddenly started arguing earlier, but fortunately someone was willing to step in and control the situation, steer the topic back on track.
"Nanami and I were searching for spirit stones together. Later, I felt hungry and suggested we go back to find something to eat. Nanami said he wanted to search a little longer, so I came back first."
After buying the boxed lunches, I learned about the mysterious merchant here and wanted to share this information with Nanami so he could buy some too. After we finished our lunches, we searched for spirit stones together.
According to Julian's description, the two of them did not encounter anyone else. The only time they had to go back to buy boxed lunches was the time difference between them. If they had not met Wang Wenfei beforehand, it would have been difficult to find Wang Wenfei's whereabouts and take action within that time.
Unless the other party crashes into it.
"By the way, how did Feifei die? Where was she found? Who found her? Why didn't you bring the body back?"
After hearing Julian's words, Lu Xiaoyao stared at him suspiciously and asked, "Where did you meet after you bought the boxed lunches? Was it near the place where Feifei died?"
"We don't know the exact location of the desolate wilderness, but the place where Miss Aiqisi found Wang Wenfei's body was on a gravel beach below a cliff, which was some distance from where Qi Hai and I were searching."
"Is there a distance? How far? Enough time for you to commit the crime?"
"Are you deliberately trying to shift suspicion onto me and Nanami?"
Without exchanging a word, Lu Xiaoyao and Julian glared at each other, neither willing to back down. It was Mu Ning who intervened, persuading them to stop and listen to what others had to say.
"When I first started searching for spirit stones, I bought a boxed lunch. That's where I met Wang Wenfei. We ate the boxed lunches and exchanged some information before going out together. After all, we couldn't ignore the warning that being alone would lead to being killed by the murderer."
As Mu Chen spoke, he looked in Ai Qisi's direction and added, "Later, we met Ai Qisi and Mu Ning one after the other, and Wang Wenfei hinted to them to come back and buy boxed lunches."
I was worried about their behavior, so I followed Ai Qisi, while Wang Wenfei went to follow Mu Ning. After I returned, I didn't see Wang Wenfei again.
"Huh? You're following me?!"
Now everyone's attention turned to Mu Ning. Mu Ning was also bewildered, repeatedly saying, "I had no idea! I came back after a hint, but I found spirit stones, so I went to feed the Bashe first. After feeding it, I stayed there for a while and knew nothing about Wang Wenfei. I'm innocent!"
After saying that, she turned to look at Ai Qisi and Mu Chen, pointing at them and saying, "Maybe one of these two was killed by them after they found Wang Wenfei following me back? No, no, if Mu Chen wanted to do it, he would have done it already... It's you! Ai Qisi, it was actually you, wasn't it?"
What are you saying?
Aiqisi also expressed that she felt wronged.
You're not the one with the problem, so why are you dragging others down with you?
"Then what about your timeline? You haven't mentioned your own yet."
"Me? I was searching for spirit stones earlier, then I met Mu Chen and Wang Wenfei who came back and bought boxed lunches. After that, I left to search for spirit stones again, and then I found Wang Wenfei's body."
Aissi's eyes flickered. Of course, she knew that what she was saying wasn't the right thing to do, but that was the truth.
In her timeline, she seems to have always been the same person, without any proof.
"So, you're the prime suspect, aren't you?" Mu Ning stared at Ai Qisi and said, "The random characteristics that the boxed lunch mentioned are probably only two or three. Everyone else had the same ones, but you didn't."
Only you experienced the specific characteristic described; no one can verify its veracity! You might actually be the murderer, deliberately releasing a false characteristic to mislead the investigation!
Wow! That's actually possible!
Hmm, I remember this woman acting strangely from the beginning, right?
[Who was it that said something was wrong with her? Come out here and let's analyze this.]
"Ah, you mean that time she deliberately tried to get close to them, excluding the other three players, right?"
That's not necessarily true; you can't say that directly...
...
Mingmei saw that the comments section was already shifting suspicion towards Aiqisi. Then, Madison, seeing Aiqisi's pale face and Lu Xiaoyao's incredulous expression, asked, "Did she tell you that I might be the murderer?"
"What?"
Madison, who had been silent all along, suddenly said this, and the others looked at him with confusion, asking him to say more.
So, Madison said that when he and Lu Xiaoyao were in the car, Lu Xiaoyao's behavior towards him was unusually strange.
"But... it's not a problem to be vigilant when there are only two people.
Now Nanami spoke up. Although he didn't really trust Aiqisi, it didn't mean he could accept someone trying to muddy the waters and pin all the blame on one person.
"But Lu Xiaoyao said earlier that you missed the boxed lunches, which was entirely because you misled Lu Xiaoyao."
“Yes! It was you who told me what if that NPC wasn’t a good person, but was colluding with bad guys!” Lu Xiaoyao turned to look at Madison, thought for a while, and said, “By the way, ...you’re pretty cowardly too.”
