In the silence, a document was handed over.

"The autopsy report is out."

Yang Ge took the report from Zhong Sisi and said, "The deceased died between 1 and 3 a.m., and the other injuries on his body were caused before death."

"The fatal wound was a knife wound to the heart, which killed him in one blow."

"In addition, judging from the wound marks and the shape of the murder weapon, the direction of the wound has a trend from left to right, indicating that the murderer's dominant hand should be the left hand."

"That is to say, the murderer is left-handed."

Dr. Zhao, who had just been the most suspicious because of the shopping list with the dagger in his pocket, breathed a sigh of relief: "Then my suspicion can be alleviated. I am not left-handed."

"Not necessarily." Wan Baojie suddenly said, "Although you have always used your right hand, you bought the murder weapon. Maybe you can use both hands, so you chose your left hand to confuse everyone when you committed the crime?"

"I did buy the dagger, and I originally wanted to kill Mr. Lin."

Doctor Zhao explained anxiously: "But when I went to the study with the dagger, there was no one in the study. I hurriedly looked for the photo and was startled by the knock on the door when I was leaving. I hid under the table in a panic."

"After Cheng's son left, I was afraid someone else would push the door open, so I left in a hurry. When I returned to the room, I realized that the dagger had fallen."

Doctor Zhao bit his lip and said, "I thought the dagger must have fallen under the table. I had planned to get it the next day while everyone was having dinner, so I didn't go back to get it in time. How could I have known that the dagger would become a murder weapon?"

"Besides, I have no motive to kill Yang Anan."

Seeing that no one said anything, she looked around the living room in panic and pointed at Cheng's son: "I remember that Cheng's son always used his left hand when eating. He must be left-handed."

She looked at the people present and asked, "Is there anyone else who is left-handed?"

Shi Jin raised his eyes and calmly glanced at Butler Chen in the corner: "He is also left-handed."

Butler Chen looked over with a gloomy look in his eyes: "But I have no motive or reason to kill An An."

"Who said no?" The speaker was Yang Ge, who bit his cheeks hard a few times. "You like my mom. My mom had already promised you that she would leave this city with you after this period of time, but An An didn't like you so she kept trying to stop us."

"My mom saw that An An really didn't want to do it, so she told you to forget it. Who knows if you will hate An An because of this, and think that if you get rid of her, there will be no one to hinder you."

Butler Chen's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Don't worry." Wan Baojie raised another report in his hand: "Here is another piece of information that may help us better identify the suspect."

"Sleeping pills were found in the dessert bowls in everyone's room."

"That is to say, everyone except the murderer fell asleep last night under the effect of sleeping pills. That's why no one could hear the murderer's movements when he committed the crime."

Yang Ge stood up suddenly: "Isn't this Butler Chen? Butler Chen sent those desserts to our room last night. Who else could have drugged us except him?"

"No." Yu Ci walked over from the direction of the kitchen: "The desserts were prepared by the kitchen. I just asked the servants in the kitchen. In addition to the housekeeper Chen who was responsible for delivering the desserts, there was another person who had also come into contact with these desserts."

Singer Yang frowned: "Who?"

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows and looked at the boy at the other end of the sofa: "Cheng son."

Singer Yang turned his head sharply: "Son Cheng, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

Cheng's son put his hands on his knees and sat upright. He tilted his head when he heard this: "Of course I went to the kitchen to find food, what else can I do?"

Singer Yang stared at him, his eyes bloodshot.

Doctor Zhao looked around and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, did we forget something?"

"When I went to the study room in the morning, the door was locked, so we waited for Butler Chen to get the spare key before entering the study room."

"That is to say." Doctor Zhao bit his lip and glanced at Butler Chen secretly: "This is a murder case in a closed room. Apart from Yang Anan who died in the study, only Butler Chen who has the spare key can do this."

Butler Chen stood up suddenly, his chest heaving violently: "You are talking nonsense."

Shi Jin took a photo and observed it carefully. He didn't look up when he heard it, and said in a light tone: "This is not a closed room murder case."

Doctor Zhao exclaimed, “Ah!”

Shi Jin put down the photo in his hand and looked at Doctor Zhao: "During the evidence search, I carefully looked at the study door. The door handle is an ordinary round handle, and the lock tongue is controlled by a button in the center of the handle. Pressing the button can lock the door."

Wan Baojie also nodded: "I just tried it. As long as you press the button in advance and then use a little more force to close the door from the outside, the door can still be locked. So this is not a murder case in a closed room."

Doctor Zhao nodded thoughtfully: "So, judging from the motive for the crime and the existing evidence, our only suspects are Butler Chen and Cheng's son."

Facing everyone's gaze, Dr. Zhao paused and added with a bitter face: "...Okay, maybe there's me too."

"Let me help you summarize the current clues--"

Before Dr. Zhao could finish his words, he was interrupted by a notification over a loudspeaker.

[There are still ten minutes left before the voting session, please hurry up. ]

[There are two options below for players to choose from. Please enter the room one by one to make your choice. ]

【1: Continue the discussion. (Selecting this option will give you an extra five minutes of discussion time.)】

【2: Give up the discussion and get five minutes to search for evidence again.】

As soon as the loud speaker sounded, a 30-second countdown projection appeared on the window opposite the crowd.

Wan Baojie was stunned for a moment, and quickly took this opportunity to speak: "This should be an option for joint action. What do you think?"

Butler Chen frowned and spoke first: "There is a fifteen-minute discussion session and a five-minute evidence search session. Everyone should know which one to choose, right?"

No one responded.

Butler Chen's face looked a little grim. "We have just searched for evidence and used up all the clues we could find. Even if we were given another half an hour, we might not be able to find any new clues, not to mention we only have five minutes."

Yang Ge hesitated for a moment and nodded. "That's right. I just searched the evidence to the end and basically couldn't find any new content. I think we should choose to discuss it. We still have at least fifteen minutes."

Cheng's son nodded with a smile: "I agree."

Dr. Zhao retorted: "But the discussion may not produce any results. We are at an impasse now, aren't we?"

Wan Baojie glanced at the ten-second countdown on the projector and subconsciously looked at Shi Jin: "Lawyer Shi, what do you think?"

Although Lawyer Shi doesn't talk much, he always speaks to the key points and you can tell at a glance that he is a reliable person.

You can't go wrong by following his steps.

Shi Jin raised his head calmly and said in a light tone: "Searching for evidence is more beneficial at the moment."

Just as Dr. Zhao said, their discussion has now reached a stalemate between the two of them, lacking a key piece of evidence to identify the murderer.

In this case, no matter how much we discuss, we won't be able to identify the murderer. We might as well take a gamble and use five minutes to search for evidence again. Maybe we can find a turning point.

The bright red countdown returned to zero.

[Players please enter the kitchen one by one to vote. 】

The first person to go in was Butler Chen. Everyone thought the selection process would be quick, but Butler Chen took a long time to come out after he went in.

At that time, Jin's eyebrows moved slightly.

Yu Ci yawned slowly: "It seems there are some additional changes..."

Butler Chen came out five minutes later. When he came out, he had a strange expression on his face.

The next doctor, Dr. Zhao, also had a strange expression when she came out. When Wan Baojie asked her about it, she only replied vaguely, "You'll know when you go in."

Shi Jin was arranged to be the last one, and in front of him was Yu Ci.

After Yu Ci came out, he didn't keep anyone in suspense and said directly: "It's not a choice, but you are asked to vote for the murderer. This is the first round of voting."

Doctor Zhao, who was eavesdropping on the side, almost popped his eyes out: "Why did you say it directly? Aren't you afraid of——"

She suddenly braked when she got to this point, and subconsciously glanced at the director team: "...Well, I didn't say that."

Ci raised his eyebrows, half smiling, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that if you say it, your vote will be invalidated?"

He knew about the program team's little trick as soon as he entered.

On the surface, everyone is told that this is an exclusive special mission and only one person can have this extra voting right, but in reality it is just a wholesale line given to everyone.

In order to prevent people from leaking the news after they came out, a rule was added that would invalidate the vote if it was exposed.

But...

Yu Ci curled the corners of his lips.

The consequence of accidentally seeing the script in advance is that he has no right to vote at all.

"Ah?" Wan Baojie looked at Yu Ci, then at Dr. Zhao: "You all have the right to vote?"

Singer Yang raised his hand silently: "I have one too."

Butler Chen's face turned pale: "Humph."

Cheng's son stood up and took a glass of water. When he turned around, he realized that everyone was staring at him, so he smiled a little embarrassedly: "Do you want some water?"

Wan Baojie looked away. She understood, but...

She frowned. "Even if everyone has it, you shouldn't say it out loud. Maybe the murderer is the only one who doesn't have this power. If you say that, the murderer will also know about it, and then we won't have another chance to test it."

"No." Yu Ci raised his eyebrows slightly: "Someone's reaction has been exposed."

Shi Jin withdrew his gaze from a certain person, exchanged a glance with Yu Ci, and stood up: "I'm going in."

The kitchen was simply decorated, some kitchen utensils were removed, and a camera was placed on the sink in the middle.

The so-called voting is just facing the camera and saying who you want to choose.

Shi Jin already had the answer in his heart.

He walked to the kitchen counter, faced the flashing red dot on the camera, and calmly read out a name.
