Gui Gui is now truly withdrawn.
For a moment, it couldn't tell whether its host was bluffing it or whether its host had actually guessed the truth from its behavior.
Is it really, really easy for people to see through?
"Wow~ You hesitated for so long? Looks like I was right, Gui Gui, have you become withdrawn?"
Gui Gui: [Leave me alone, or I won't write you a review anymore!]
The defiant ghost no longer wanted to talk to Mingmei; it preferred to write its reflections, which would allow it to further its studies with the mainframe!
It swore that next time it returned, it would be Niohuru Guigui!!
Mingmei: "..."
Seeing that Gui Gui, the only person she could talk to, had disappeared again, Mingmei smiled but didn't say anything. However, she had already gotten the answer she wanted, so she let it go.
Since Lu Xiaoyao's group couldn't come forward to identify the culprit immediately, they simply started collecting evidence in the carriage. After all, it was dark, and the players had two more murderers on their side, so they weren't too keen on going out and taking risks.
After the remaining players split into twos and threes in the carriage, they searched the surrounding rooms and the teacher's room again. What they found even more confusing was what they discovered.
"No, isn't this poison?"
Madison took out a small bag of dark purple powder from the single room of the already eliminated Aiqisi. When everyone heard the noise and came over to take a look, a poison note automatically popped up in the game's backend.
"The teacher's cup contains poison, but isn't it colorless and odorless? This..."
While the others stared at the poison, which looked out of place, Mu Chen went to the tea room, poured himself a glass of water, and asked Director Madison to go in and try it.
What was unexpected was that the powder automatically turned colorless and transparent when it was put into water.
"But wasn't it proven by Bashe that Senior Sister wasn't an accomplice of the demon? How come this poison is here?"
Nanagi was now completely bewildered.
"It's possible that the powder wasn't hers, but that someone framed her."
After Mu Ning finished speaking, her gaze remained fixed on Lu Xiaoyao, which made Lu Xiaoyao furious.
“That’s true, after all, senior’s room is a single room, and no one can see you, so there are plenty of opportunities to make a move~” In the rest area of the train, there were four girls and four boys, one double room and two single rooms.
Lu Xiaoyao and Wang Wenfei were originally in a double room. As for the remaining two, Lu Xiaoyao emphasized the single room again. Who couldn't hear that?
At least Mingmei understood that she was saying that Mu Ning, who lived in a separate single room, could do this more discreetly and more easily.
Sure enough, Mu Ning also heard it and glared at Lu Xiaoyao with eyes blazing with anger. This murderer is not simple!
The worst part is that Mu Ning doesn't know which of the four boys present is Lu Xiaoyao's teammate!
She was suffering inside!
"It's possible that Aissi discovered this poison herself."
Mu Chen, who had been silent the whole time, seemed to deliver a devastating blow every time he spoke.
"If Aiqisi found something outside and took it back, who knows? Maybe when the murderers planned to poison the teacher at noon, this packet of poison just happened to be left outside, and Aiqisi found it by chance and took it back."
Later, she realized that taking this out would cause her a lot of trouble, so it's possible that she kept quiet about it.
When Mu Chen spoke, his gaze fell on Lu Xiaoyao, and he said, "I remember you came out during lunch break."
Mu Ning's eyes lit up when she heard Mu Chen's words!
"I'm just going to the restroom." Lu Xiaoyao looked up at Mu Chen suspiciously, taken aback by his sudden, pointed remark about her. "Boss, even you suspect me?"
"No," Mu Chen replied coldly. "I'm just providing a line of thought and some information I know, letting everyone make their own inferences and guesses. What's wrong with that?"
Mu Chen stared directly at Lu Xiaoyao, "Do you assume others suspect you just because someone doesn't follow your line of reasoning?"
At this moment, Mu Chen suddenly mentioned the word "you," which made someone in the room jump!
"I……"
Before Lu Xiaoyao could say anything, Mu Chen let out another contemptuous sneer. He looked at the other three boys and asked, "Do you think there's anything wrong with what I said?"
Nanami's gaze lingered on Lu Xiaoyao for a moment without making a sound, then she silently shook her head, showing no objection to what Mu Chen had suggested.
“Indeed, what Mu Chen said makes sense. It may not have been Ai Qisi herself. It’s possible that someone later tried to frame her or that she discovered something and took it back herself.”
Julian also spoke up, saying that Mu Chen's hypothesis was nothing, and Madison, who was the first to discover the poison, looked at Lu Xiaoyao, Mu Chen, and Mu Ning with very strange eyes.
They simply didn't believe what the three of them meant.
"In the end, there's no result to prove anything..."
He muttered something and poured the packet of poison down the drain in front of everyone. Everyone agreed to this, but Mu Ning insisted on keeping the packaging.
There wasn't much of interest in the other people's rooms, but the teacher's room was worth checking and searching for information in shifts.
"The only sign of struggle was the overturned water glass. It seems that no one was in the room when the teacher was poisoned, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as just knocking over the water glass."
"In other words, the murderer came in later and confirmed the teacher's death. He then tried to jump out of the car but found that the windows couldn't be opened, and he couldn't even throw out the device used to seal the demon. He could only break the seal and throw out the spirit stone that was used to feed the Bashe to buy time."
"Didn't everyone already say these things at noon? Why are you saying them again?"
After checking everything, everyone came to the same conclusions and made the same assumptions as at noon. For a moment, I couldn't accept that I had been working for nothing all night.
The only poison was found by a player who was eliminated and confirmed not to be the murderer.
Is there any point in continuing the investigation?
"Although the conclusion is the same, we've delayed things because of the boxed lunches. While the seal can't be fully restored, it's already been delayed for quite a few days, hasn't it?" Mu Chen said, looking at everyone and asking, "Everyone, did you all finish both boxed lunches?"
"Of course I've finished eating."
Almost all the players who bought boxed lunches answered the question without hesitation. Mu Chen then asked, "Who can prove it? Wang Wenfei and I both finished two boxes and left. The mysterious merchant can testify to that. What about you?"
Seeing that Mu Chen had mentioned her, Mingmei smiled. Although the players might not actually come over to verify, hearing Mu Chen say this made her start to recall who had bought the boxed lunches and taken them away right under her nose without eating them immediately.
Thinking back, Mingmei realized that Julian, Qi Haikui, and Mu Ning all bought their lunches and left immediately, instead of eating them right under her nose. That was interesting!
