"Go away, don't bring up something that's not relevant to the topic."
Wei Lai was also very depressed. Although he and Qingting were a married couple in the game, which he had no objection to, there was a background plot in the character setting where he was kicked out of bed by his wife. What was even worse was the detail that after the incident, he went home to wash off the blood on his hands.
In the character setting, he is not the murderer, but the first person to discover the deceased. He originally wanted to see if the person could be saved, but he also saw the female ghost and fled the brothel in a panic. Based on the principle of less trouble is more, he just wanted to pretend that nothing had happened.
After staying in the guest room for a night, he learned that a singer had died in the brothel. The setting must prevent people from suspecting him of being the murderer.
"You are admitting it in disguise." Wang Zi smiled happily. There are not many opportunities to tease Wei Lai like this in reality.
He hurried to Qingting and bowed, "Sister-in-law, calm down. I dragged Brother Wei out to drink. He's in good health. Don't blame him anymore."
"He doesn't want to go, can you pull him?" Qing Ting glared at Wei Lai fiercely, walked to the side, and turned her back to the two of them. "Let him reflect on himself. If his reflection is not sincere, it will not be as simple as sleeping in the guest room. Next time, he will sleep on the floor in the hall."
"..." Wei Lai was speechless for a moment. He really didn't know whether Xiaoting was addicted to acting or she was too immersed in the role. From her expression to her movements and demeanor, he could hardly suppress the urge to coax her.
"Brother Wei, why don't you go and comfort him?" Wang Zi played the role completely in his true character. He returned to Wei Lai and acted as a peacemaker.
"You are the source of this matter, so let's get down to business first."
If Wang Zi continues to smooth things over like this, this good horror suspense story will probably turn into a costume family drama.
Ignoring his relationship with Xiaoting in the game for the time being, Wei Lai walked to the round table and began to sort out the clues.
"The deceased's face was blue, his pupils were dilated and there were hemorrhages, and his tongue was purple-black. It was obvious that he had been strangled to death."
"Not necessarily. There are finger marks and purple bruises on the neck. It's possible that someone strangled him to death and then fabricated the marks."
Sun Fei was most interested in reasoning and had been studying the picture on the table for a long time. As soon as Wei Lai opened his mouth, he continued the conversation.
In the game of reasoning, no details are useless. This is the experience he summed up.
"If the man wasn't killed by a ghost, then how do we explain the ghostly figures we saw?"
Ke Ke stepped forward and shifted everyone's attention to the female ghost.
Lidya Su couldn't help but look at her suspiciously, "There can't be a ghost, it can only be one of the eight of us."
"I'm just reminding you, since the night watchman can see the female ghost, and I have seen it too, it means there really is someone pretending to be a female ghost. This person is not the murderer, but may be an accomplice. She should know the murderer's information." After Ke Ke finished speaking, he found a chair and sat down, with one thigh resting on the other. With her appearance and clothes, she really looked a bit like an ancient brothel owner.
"In that case, the three women in the brothel are the most likely suspects of being able to impersonate a female ghost. After all, they have the advantages of gender and location, and they have plenty of time." Wang Zi analyzed carefully in a rare serious tone.
Tong Duoduo was unhappy about this. "Who says only women can dress up as ghosts? You guys can do it in the dark. Your preconceived notions are totally untenable."
Hearing this, Su Xiao also remembered some details, "You are right, the female ghost I saw floated out of the window from the room. People can't float, so there must be some traces left in the room."
"trace?"
"In the room?"
"You can look for it."
Yao Xue spoke at the right time.
After hearing her words, the five of them immediately started looking everywhere. Wei Lai turned around and looked through all the clues. He found Qing Ting still standing in the same place as before and asked in confusion, "Why have you been standing there?"
"Thinking about things."
"Come on, join everyone."
"No."
Qingting shook her head. Wei Lai wasn't sure what was going on with her, so he used his ability to test her and immediately felt a little embarrassed.
Feeling a little ashamed and with an inexplicable itchy feeling in his heart, he walked behind Qingting and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Madam, please stop being so stubborn. Human lives are at stake. We should quickly prove our innocence."
In Wei Lai's foreseeable memory, if he called out like this, Qingting would come over.
But unexpectedly, Qingting pushed him away, moving forward to create a distance of more than a meter between them. Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at him faintly, "Husband, you have always loved me, right?"
This sight made Wei Lai's heart skip a beat and he almost forgot to breathe. When he came to his senses, he was filled with regret.
Xiaoting, you are really immersed in the role.
Whether it was from the role or his own feelings, it seemed to be the same. Wei Lai nodded and agreed, "Yes, my lady is the love of my life."
The two people were acting out a romance drama in the middle of the room. Wang Zi and Ke Ke, who were collecting evidence separately, seemed to smell a fishy smell. When they turned around and saw them like this, they became instantly excited.
"Su Xiao, Sun Fei, turn back quickly, there's going to be a good show." Wang Zi patted Su Xiao's shoulders desperately.
"Duoduo, stop looking for Shishi and watch the show." Ke Ke also pushed Tong Duoduo's back.
But the four of them ignored them and almost at the same time, made sounds of surprise.
“Found it!”
“It really exists!”
"What did you find?" Wei Lai curiously followed the sound to see what the people had found.
Sun Fei and Su Xiao found a picture of scratches on the window caused by something like a thin wire, and a picture of the same scratches on the beams of the room.
