"Why are you looking at me?" Lu Xiaoyao noticed Mu Chen's gaze the moment she was stared at, and she was so frightened that she almost knelt down.
Mu Chen's gaze at that moment was truly terrifying, like a wild beast about to pounce on its prey.
Even though Lu Xiaoyao was so clueless that she blurted it out, she had to admit that she almost knelt down and called him "Dad."
When Lu Xiaoyao called out like that, everyone else naturally looked at Mu Chen, but they didn't see anything.
The murderous aura that Mu Chen suddenly displayed was quite brief and precise, and it quickly disappeared without a trace after Lu Xiaoyao shouted.
"I just think it's a miracle that a high-altitude cleaning worker like you can buy a house here, so there's no need to feel sorry for others."
"Huh?"
With Mu Chen's topic shifting, everyone immediately looked at Lu Xiaoyao in surprise.
Before Lu Xiaoyao could ask Mu Chen how he knew, Mu Chen said that when he went to the building to check the surveillance footage immediately after Shu Chuan's death, he accidentally saw the property register that recorded the building's residents.
Mu Chen couldn't ignore Lu Xiaoyao's face; it was a bright and cheerful ID photo.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with me, a charming widow who still has her charm, buying a house?"
"puff--"
Mingmei, who had just returned from outside to get a drink of water after pulling the hair of a fake fan NPC, heard Lu Xiaoyao make this declaration.
As expected, a mouthful of water spurted out.
Lou Jia, who plays the detective, was holding a cup of hot tea. Just like Mingmei, he took a sip and was immediately stunned by Lu Xiaoyao's remarks.
"Where are you going to find a charming, widowed woman who still retains her allure?"
Charlie, with his outspoken nature, looked at Lu Xiaoyao with a complicated expression, and finally said, "You should know your place."
"asshole!"
Lu Xiaoyao felt ashamed and indignant as she looked at the others who were nodding in agreement.
"So that's how the character is set up! Character design! Character design! Of course I'm an invincible young beauty! This character is a charming widow who still retains her elegance, okay?"
For a moment, no one knew what to say.
Is the first half of the sentence wrong, or the second half?
“Then you don’t need to say it. Saying it makes it even less convincing.” After saying that, Charlie turned his head, looking a little confused, and then said, “Hey, I wanted to ask, does everyone live in this building?”
"It seems so. I just rented a place here too." Li Yuan, who hadn't mentioned where he lived earlier, realized something was wrong and revealed that he was staying here.
It was only then that everyone realized they were all residents here. After checking their information, wow! They all lived on the 24th floor.
"Is 24 some kind of lucky number?" Lu Xiaoyao noticed that not only did everyone live on the 24th floor, but she herself was also cleaning windows on the 24th floor, which was quite a coincidence.
"Because only the 24th floor of the building has an outward-extending sky garden, judging from Mr. Shuchuan's death location, for someone to die from being thrown from a high-rise building, either the person would be extremely good at physics and very strong, able to calculate the parabolic trajectory in a short time and throw it accurately; or the object would be thrown outside the sky garden on the 24th floor. However, the possibility of a delay device cannot be ruled out."
Lou Jia shared the information he had gathered to clear things up for everyone, saying, "So, this proves that all the residents of the 24th floor are indeed highly suspicious."
"Really? It's not impossible that people from other buildings could come and do something on the 24th floor?"
"Because the police had already investigated the surveillance footage and found that no one from other floors was active on the 24th floor, and the surveillance cameras on the 24th floor, especially the rooftop garden area, had been damaged since last night."
After Lou Jia finished speaking, Lu Xiaoyao fell silent.
There was no way to say anything.
"If we follow the rules of a murder mystery game, shouldn't we then split into groups and search each player's room for evidence?"
Clearly, some players have already started treating this game like a murder mystery game, and Charlie was the first to request to search the rooms and find evidence.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiaoyao also raised her hand in agreement.
Finally, Lou Jia divided the cases into groups based on the number of hands raised. Mu Chen and Li Yuan were in one group, and Lu Xiaoyao and Charlie were in another. Lou Jia planned to take the two police officers with him to investigate the case.
Police officers: I really appreciate it!
The NPCs who wanted to slack off and watch the show never expected that players would actually take them wherever they went. Why would they do anything?
Mingmei wasn't in a hurry. She sat in the lobby on the first floor and watched all the players leave. Then she saw the fake NPC, who had just been disciplined by her and had gone to a secluded place to tidy up before coming back, enter.
When she looked up and saw Mingmei sitting there alone, she couldn't help but shudder.
"You're here?"
"Uh-huh."
Slowly and reluctantly, she sat down on the sofa. The other person tremblingly raised her eyelashes to look at the face that looked exactly like her own, but with a completely different personality. Her thoughts were already in a mess.
Oh my god!
Is this the confidence of high-level NPCs?
Can you treat players badly whenever you want, or attack other NPCs whenever you want?
Thinking about myself, a newly hired NPC... sigh!
My life is so hard!
Mingmei clearly heard the other person sighing.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Nothing." The other person quickly shook her head. Seeing that she didn't say anything or ask anything, Mingmei changed the subject and asked, "What kind of information does the boxed lunch you sell contain?"
"There's plenty. I'll provide everything except for the official news."
