Chapter 43



"According to the timeline narrated by Butler Chen and Cheng's son, assuming that they did not lie about the timeline of returning to the room, Butler Chen returned to the room after locking Rich Man Lin in the cabin. I just found an opportunity to go to the cabin, and the actual time measured is not much different from what Butler Chen said."

Shi Jin had a lot to say about the areas he was interested in. "After Cheng's son went to the study to look for Lin Fuhao but failed, he returned to his room and went out again. No one can prove where he went and what he did after that. This timeline itself is questionable."

"In addition." Shi Jin took out the report that he had just put into his pocket and said, "The sleeping pills in the dessert are also suspicious. The dessert was sent by Butler Chen. If he put sleeping pills in the dessert, as long as they were checked the next day, the suspicion would fall directly on him. He is not so stupid."

"But what finally led me to identify Cheng's son was the fiber filament I found in the study."

When saying this, Shi Jin curled the corners of his lips and said, "Among the people present, only Cheng's son wore a white T-shirt yesterday. Although other colored clothes will change color when stained with blood, they will not be as obvious as white. Therefore, the dark red oxidized bloodstains on the white silk thread are the best proof."

In fact, there are many more details, but it might be too long to talk about them, so Shi Jin simply omitted them and only picked out a few loopholes that he thought were more obvious.

"Oh, and also about your son's reaction when you spoke just before the vote."

Shi Jin looked at Yu Ci: "As expected, the production team did not mention the extra vote to the murderer, so when you mentioned the extra vote, Cheng's pupils briefly expanded and contracted. Although it disappeared quickly, I was staring at him at the time, so I still noticed it in time."

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows: "It seems that I have helped you a little."

Shi Jin looked back at him seriously: "Yes, you helped me a lot."

The young man had a straight back, and through his black silk shirt, one could vaguely see the outline of his spine. The hem of the silk shirt had a very good drape, hanging down to outline the inward lines of his waist.

Yu Ci stared at that waist and suddenly had the urge to measure it.

With such a thin waist, he should be able to hold it with one hand.

"Lawyer Shi! Lawyer Shi!"

A clear female voice interrupted his thoughts. Yu Ci clicked his tongue and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

Doctor Zhao trotted over, his eyes sparkling, "Lawyer Shi, I just voted for Cheng's son. Did I make the right choice?"

Yu Ci looked away and spoke before Shi Jin: "Lawyer Shi doesn't know the answer, so you should wait for the result of the program team."

Shi Jin raised his eyes: "Sit down first."

Doctor Zhao sat down obediently opposite the two of them: "Oh."

The staff brought tea. Yu Ci picked up the cup, poured a cup, and handed it to Shi Jin.

Shi Jin took it naturally.

The aroma of jasmine in the tea wafts away, and white smoke slowly rises into the air, bringing bursts of fragrance.

Doctor Zhao sniffed the light scent of jasmine tea and looked curiously at the two people opposite him: "Lawyer Shi, Yu, Yu——"

She was depressed for a long time, but she didn't call out the somewhat embarrassing character name, and instead changed the address to "Mr. Yu."

Doctor Zhao looked at Shi Jin, then at Yu Ci, and asked, "Did you two know each other before?"

Yu Ci didn't even raise his head: "What do you mean?"

Doctor Zhao blinked and said, "It feels like there's an aura between the two of you that no one else can blend in with. It's as if you've known each other for a long time."

and......

She glanced at Yu Ci secretly.

Moreover, these two people sat together, and for some reason, even though they didn't do anything, there was a feeling of pink bubbles popping up.

But she didn't dare say that.

But that alone is enough.

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of Dr. Zhao: "Please."

Doctor Zhao was flattered and picked up the cup of tea: "Thank you."

Mr. Yu didn't have much contact with the rest of them from the beginning. He either stayed beside Lawyer Shi or simply disappeared.

Just looking at his face and his behavior, she thought he was the kind of person who was not easy to get along with, but...

It doesn't seem that difficult to get along with.

Doctor Zhao thought happily while holding the cup of tea.

The remaining players also finished voting quickly and came out of the compartments one by one and walked to the pavilion.

After the last voter, Butler Chen, sat down in the pavilion, Zhong Sisi came out with a megaphone in hand, smiling, "Congratulations, everyone, the voting is over."

[First of all, let us congratulate the players who received zero votes in this game, they are Dr. Zhao, Wan Baojie and Yu's wife! ]

Doctor Zhao cheered at first, then blinked in confusion: "Hey? How come Singer Yang and Lawyer Shi both have tickets?"

Singer Yang scratched his face, looking helpless: "It should be that someone doubted us in the first round."

"Ahem," Wan Baojie cleared his throat, a little embarrassed, "I voted for you. I was a little confused in the first round, so I just voted for someone at random."

“Who voted for the lawyers then?”

Butler Chen snorted expressionlessly.

Singer Yang then shut up knowingly.

[Next, the players who received one vote are announced: Lawyer Shi and singer Yang. ]

This result is not surprising. Everyone has just claimed their votes, but...

Doctor Zhao's eyes moved between Butler Chen and Cheng's son's faces, full of anticipation.

Who is the murderer? The vote difference shouldn’t be too big, right?

[The remaining housekeeper Chen and Cheng's son received 4 and 5 votes respectively in this game.]

[So who has 4 votes and who has 5 votes? ]

Zhong Sisi deliberately kept the secret, but received a look of slight disgust from her cousin.

She cleared her throat somewhat awkwardly and announced the result.

[I declare that the murderer voted by everyone in this case is——Cheng's son. 】

[In the first round of voting, Wan Baojie voted for singer Yang, butler Chen voted for lawyer Shi, Yu's wife and Cheng's son abstained from voting, Dr. Zhao and singer Yang both voted for butler Chen, and lawyer Shi voted for Cheng's son. Therefore, in the first round of voting, except for butler Chen who received two votes, lawyer Shi, singer Yang and Cheng's son each received one vote.]

[In the second round of voting, Cheng's son and Wan Baojie voted for Chen Guanjia, and the rest voted for Cheng's son. Therefore, Cheng's son had the most votes and was voted as the murderer by everyone.]

[So is Cheng's son the real murderer in this case? ]

[I declare that the real murderer of this case is——]

Dr. Zhao stared at Zhong Sisi eagerly, wishing he could grab the loudspeaker and announce the murderer himself.

Zhong Sisi paused for a moment deliberately, and after seeing the anxiety on everyone's faces, she spoke with satisfaction: "The murderer is - Cheng's son!"

"Great! I voted for the right person, hehe." Doctor Zhao cheered, and then seemed to remember something, and turned to look at Wan Baojie: "Sister Wan, why did you still vote for Chen Guanjia? Didn't the lawyer make it very clear in the end?"

Wan Baojie touched his nose and looked at Cheng's son: "My mission is to protect Cheng's son from being discovered."

Singer Yang was a little surprised: "So you knew from the beginning that Cheng's son was the murderer?"

"No, I didn't know it at first." Wan Baojie shook his head. "It was after the first round of voting that I went to search the room for evidence again. I found an opened box of sleeping pills in Cheng's son's room. That's when the protection mission was triggered. That's when I realized he was the murderer."

Doctor Zhao still didn't quite understand: "But why do you want to protect Cheng's son? Is it because Mrs. Cheng has done you a favor?"

"Yes and no." Wan Baojie looked away awkwardly, "Half of it is to repay a favor, and the other half is..."

"I know, it's because you have an extra relationship with Cheng's son, right?"

Yang Ge suddenly spoke up. Facing Dr. Zhao's somewhat surprised expression, he remained calm and said, "When we first started searching for evidence, Lawyer Shi and I found some women's underwear and a few "children's burp condoms" in Cheng's son's room."

"I originally thought that these were just evidence of Cheng's son's affair, but later in Wan Baojie's room I saw the same underwear and the same brand of "children's burp cover", so I began to suspect that they had an extramarital affair."

"Later, I heard lawyer Shi say that he passed by the study after dinner and saw Cheng's son and Wan Baojie talking at the door of the study. I became even more suspicious. Until now, when you said you wanted to protect Cheng's son, this guess can basically be confirmed."

Singer Yang smiled and said, "Sister Wan, am I right?"

Wan Baojie nodded calmly: "Yes, that's what you said."

Doctor Zhao blinked twice. "So there is such a deep connection. It seems we still have a lot of clues and evidence to find."

"By the way," Doctor Zhao looked at Zhong Sisi, "Is there a review of the case? I want to hear about it."

Zhong Sisi looked at the people present with a smile: "Of course there will be a review of the case, but not now. I hope everyone will watch it on time after the show is broadcast and review the clues along with the show."

"This recording session has come to an end. Thank you all teachers for your cooperation. You have worked hard today."

With the closing remarks, the cameras were turned off and several stars' staff members rushed up, some handed out water and some fanned the guests, making the scene very lively.

Yang Yue asked the staff for a pen and paper. His handsome face turned red. He shyly approached Shi Jin and asked softly, "Teacher Shi, could you please sign an autograph for me?"

Yu Ci raised his eyelids and looked at him.

He has fair skin, a handsome face, and blushes when he speaks.

Tsk.

He raised his eyebrows in an ambiguous way, and just as he was about to speak up to refuse on behalf of Shi Jin, he saw his roommate put down the water cup, and the corners of his lips curved slightly: "Of course."

His roommate took the pen and paper, signed his name on the white page, and even drew a cute little black cat in a good mood.

Yang Yue was very happy to receive the signature of his favorite author. He turned around and handed the notebook to his assistant, giving him careful instructions.

After he finished instructing his assistant, he turned around to say a few words to Shi Jin, only to find that the person who had just been sitting in the seat was gone, along with the mysterious Mr. Yu.

Yang Yue stood there, scratching his face in confusion.

"...Why are you walking so fast?"

The author has something to say:

Because he's afraid you'll kidnap his wife (hands on hips)
