Lu Xiaoyao cried, and everyone laughed.
Whether it's the players who were already gathered around the evidence that Lu Xiaoyao had just brought out and was now lying on the ground, or the viewers watching Lu Xiaoyao's pitiful situation with no one watching, everyone is now laughing happily.
Except for Lu Xiaoyao.
"Waaaaah, even the police officers don't care about me anymore, waaaaah!"
Unable to bear the injustice, Lu Xiaoyao hadn't taken two steps when she suddenly let out a howl and sat down on the ground again.
Her body tilted to the side, and Mingmei never expected that Lu Xiaoyao would grab her leg like that, and then use her as a pillar to lean against her leg and cry loudly.
Bright and cheerful: =. =
It's all because the rooftop garden isn't very big; Lu Xiaoyao was able to get to me in just two steps!
Mingmei couldn't ignore Lu Xiaoyao anymore. The live stream chat was filled with comments like a poultry farm, with ducks quacking and chickens croaking, and people laughing hysterically at Lu Xiaoyao for finally breaking down and crying after only five seconds.
"Don't cry, everyone's working on solving the case..."
Feeling her pants soaked with tears, Mingmei finally couldn't bear it any longer and reached out a hand to block Lu Xiaoyao's forehead as she tried to lean her head in again.
"Ugh... my legs hurt QAQ!"
Lu Xiaoyao took the opportunity to act coquettishly, but Mingmei suddenly put on a stern face and said, "It won't hurt if you chop it up."
Lu Xiaoyao: ? ? ?
What did she just hear?
Seeing Lu Xiaoyao staring at her with wide eyes as if she'd seen a ghost, Mingmei continued her intimidation: "If you chop off my leg, then there'll be no more leg pain!"
As Mingmei lowered her head, her long, ink-black hair slid down as she bent over, landing on either side of Lu Xiaoyao. Seeing the large shadows on her face, Lu Xiaoyao felt a suffocating sense of oppression engulf her entire body.
Instantly, startled, Lu Xiaoyao let go of Mingmei's leg and scrambled towards the crowd that had formed a circle around her.
He squeezed straight into the very center of the circle and pushed open the so-called urn containing ashes.
Everyone: =. =?
Lu Xiaoyao: QwQ!
Lu Xiaoyao was about to say that something was wrong with an NPC, but when she looked up, she saw that the other person was smiling at her as if nothing had happened.
This laughter was so terrifying that Lu Xiaoyao's tailbone started to hurt!
She would never admit that her tailbone hurt because he rolled and scrambled on the ground and bumped into things twice!
"Perfect timing, you need to tell us what exactly happened before."
Lou Jia didn't care how Lu Xiaoyao suddenly plunged into this circle; he just wanted to know what had happened between her and Charlie.
"Actually, it's nothing. I was just collecting evidence in his room, and when I found this box, Charlie suddenly appeared behind me with a ferocious expression and tried to snatch the box from me. I was scared, so I kicked him and ran away... and then he chased after me while shouting."
As she spoke, Lu Xiaoyao's gaze fell on Lou Jia, who was holding several sheets of paper, and she leaned forward to ask, "By the way, what's written on these?"
"It's nothing, just checking the death compensation documents for my biological parents."
"Huh?" Lu Xiaoyao was taken aback, and quickly stuck her head out and said, "Let me see."
As she spoke, she took Lou Jia's hand and brought the paper close to her own face to look at it. Then, Lu Xiaoyao's "I understand" drew everyone's attention!
"What do you understand?"
"I remembered that the newspaper drawing he made of the deceased earlier was about the company the deceased had invested in, so I just searched for that company on my phone, and guess what?"
"Um?"
"Didn't you notice the company name on the compensation document for his parents' deaths?"
"You mean..."
Lou Jia, his face full of disbelief, said halfway through his sentence, "The company that Shu Chuan invested in was the one that caused the deaths of Cha's biological parents?"
Lu Xiaoyao nodded, but Li Yuan noticed something and said, "But I remember the newspaper reported that the company that Shuchuan invested in wasn't a coal mine, right? But the compensation agreement says that the person died in a house collapse at the sand and gravel pit."
"Because the original company was indeed mining sand and gravel, but later, when our boss invested and upgraded the equipment, we discovered that there was actually a coal mine under the sand and gravel he was mining, and then he went into the business of mining coal."
"Holy crap, what kind of luck is this?"
Lu Xiaoyao and the others were taken aback. No wonder Shuchuan had so much wealth at such a young age; he must have a lot of romantic relationships!
"So, Cha Sheng harbors resentment towards Shang Shuchuan because of his parents' deaths?"
"To be precise, our boss hadn't invested in that company yet when his parents died. Our boss had someone investigate the company beforehand."
Although I don't know how this matter was suppressed, if my boss knew about the landslide and the resulting deaths, the investment might not proceed so quickly; he would have to hesitate for a few more days.”
"So, someone tried to cover this up and suppress it back then?"
After everyone finished speaking, Mu Chen nodded.
"But these two alone would amount to 200,000 in compensation."
Lu Xiaoyao remembered that when Mu Chen questioned Charlie earlier, he mentioned that Charlie's family had already made a lot of money from the demolition compensation. "This little bit of money is enough to keep them quiet? This boss is too stingy, isn't he? Or is Cha Sheng out of his mind, agreeing to give 200,000? Even if it's to keep them quiet, they should at least give them something."
"It's not something he can just decide to do. This boss has connections with a local minor official. Later, because of that mine, our boss invested a lot of money in the area."
"Eeeeeeee!"
This situation is truly disgusting.
At this moment, Mu Chen leisurely added, "Haven't you heard the saying 'The common people can't fight against officials'?"
"So cherish the good times now, because the present is much better than the past."
Lu Xiaoyao strongly disagreed with what Mu Chen said, and took the opportunity to tell the viewers in the live stream that now is a good time.
This sparked a debate in the live chat, but Mingmei didn't have time to read the comments. She listened to the evidence that, based on the evidence they had gathered, whether it was Lu Xiaoyao, Mu Chen, or anyone else, Charlie's character's motive for killing Shuchuan had become clear.
Is there any need to continue sentencing in this case?
"Let's go downstairs first and integrate the information we've gathered this time."
Although everything seemed to be going smoothly, Lou Jia's mind was starting to race.
He felt that something was off.
He told everyone to come downstairs, but he himself remained standing there until everyone had left. Then he turned back and glanced at the old newspaper that Lu Xiaoyao had been holding.
It was lying pitifully on the ground.
They were so focused on the contents of the box that no one noticed the newspaper that had been nearly torn to shreds by several players. Almost unconsciously, the last person in the group picked it up…
