"Perhaps... this trap wasn't set by the murderer?"
Just as Lou Jia and Lu Xiaoyao expressed the same view and gained more support, Charlie suddenly mentioned something in the crowd.
Before anyone could think, Lu Xiaoyao said, "How is that possible? Didn't the lunchbox at noon say that there's only one murderer this time?"
As she spoke, Lu Xiaoyao turned her head to look at the bright and beautiful people facing each other like a mirror, and for a moment she couldn't tell which of the two had sold her the lunchbox at noon.
Never mind, it's not important _(:3」∠)_
"If the different traps were designed by different people, then two people wanted to kill the victim... Wait, that's not right either. In that case, there's still one murderer. It just depends on who kills Shuchuan, right?"
After saying that, Lu Xiaoyao glared at Charlie resentfully, feeling that his previous statement was simply absurd.
"Yes, there is only one murderer, but as you said, there may be more than one person who wants to kill Shuchuan. If these two traps are not set by the same person, I hope the designer of this trap on stage will come forward soon. Otherwise, if any incriminating evidence is collected later and he makes a mistake, it will all point to the person who set the trap, which would be worse than hiding the real murderer."
Mu Chen spoke up again at this moment, clearly following Charlie's earlier speculation that the trap and the sudden fall from the sky were not designed by one person.
As he said this, his gaze swept over everyone present.
"What if that trap and the flowerpot really were set by the same person? What if you give the murderer an opening? What if the murderer claims they only set up the trap and tries to deny it? You're saying that if they admit it, everything will be fine? What if?"
For the first time, Lu Xiaoyao refuted Mu Chen's words. This time, her speculation was not the only one she thought. Even Lou Jia nodded repeatedly in agreement with her guess.
Lu Xiaoyao is that kind of person. As long as you give her an affirming look, she can immediately swell up and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
In response, Mu Chenmu finally turned his attention to Lu Xiaoyao, saying with a forced smile, "Then I was overthinking it."
The displeasure and sarcasm in her tone did not deter Lu Xiaoyao. On the contrary, Lu Xiaoyao actually felt a sense of pride in being able to talk the big shot out, and she became more and more confident and radiant!
[Hmm, how should I put it? If I hadn't couldn't resist checking the forums and seeing some experienced players' replays and what role-playing players had to say, I would have genuinely thought my character had improved this time.]
[How so? Could you elaborate on the earlier parts without giving away any spoilers?]
[You're dreaming! You want to elaborate but you haven't given me any spoilers yet? You're so lucky!]
[Sigh~ This game, the key is... whether that actor playing 'Charlie' can hold on.]
...
Mingmei noticed the comments on the live stream saying that the key point was actually about Charlie. She curiously glanced at Charlie's side a couple more times, but seeing that he didn't seem particularly special, and recalling Mu Chen's persistent questioning of Charlie earlier, combined with what the viewers in the live stream were saying, Mingmei started to wonder if Charlie was the murderer.
But if Charlie is the murderer, wouldn't her lunchbox clue be invalid?
Mingmei shook her head quietly in confusion, feeling that there were still many strange things.
The evidence presented in this round was not substantial or crucial; at most, it concerned issues with character traits and personality.
Even though Charlie is a strong suspect, there is still no crucial evidence.
The second round of evidence collection arrived quickly. This time, Lou Jia arranged for everyone to search separately, one person searching one room, while he himself went to the rooftop garden on the 24th floor to carefully examine the room.
...
"I didn't expect to search Cha Sheng's room~" Lu Xiaoyao remembered that Li Yuan and the others had searched this room before, so she followed the search path of the two of them and looked at the apartment space of less than 100 square meters again.
The other party's old newspaper was still on the table. In fact, Mu Chen and the others had already taken pictures of the differences in the newspaper, so she shouldn't have looked at it again.
Lu Xiaoyao thought so too, but when she took another look, she noticed that besides Shu Chuan's face being drawn with X and poked in the newspaper, there were two company names circled in colored marker that she hadn't noticed before.
One of them is the group that Shuchuan founded afterward, and the other is the name of the small company he invested in.
With a thought in mind, Lu Xiaoyao took out her phone and searched for this small company that was initially inconspicuous but had been recognized for its value by Shu Chuan.
This search actually led Lu Xiaoyao to discover something else...
Charlie was somewhat uneasy.
He was standing in Li Yuan's room at that moment.
The room we just saw was searched by Lou Jia.
Just as Lou Jia said, it was very clean and tidy.
If it weren't for the small pot of unfinished porridge on the dining table and the tea brewing in the transparent health pot, which seemed to announce to everyone that someone lived there, Charlie would have suspected that no one lived in the house at all.
He opened the wardrobe and looked at the rows of black, white, and gray shirts. The texture of them was impeccable. Even though he didn't know the brands of these clothes, he could still tell that they were quite expensive.
"A recent college graduate whose parents passed away the year he went to college. They were just an ordinary family, so how did they suddenly become so well-dressed?"
Charlie muttered to himself, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Could it be that I really am being 'kept'?"
After saying this, Charlie laughed self-deprecatingly. He had previously thought that Lu Xiaoyao's guess was unreliable, but when it came to him, he was also thinking about all sorts of nonsense.
