Shen Yizhou climbed back, already soaked to the bone by the rain.
"Let's go up to the sixth floor and take a look at the staircase."
Shen Yizhou pulled He Tiantian up to the sixth-floor staircase. He searched everywhere and actually found a bloodstained raincoat among a pile of junk.
He picked up the raincoat and compared it to He Tiantian's, and it fit perfectly.
Li Rou's boyfriend is about the same height and build as He Tiantian.
Shen Yizhou did not take the raincoat away, but put it back in its original place.
When the two returned home, Shen Yizhou looked at He Tiantian seriously, just as he was about to tell her who the murderer was, there was a knock on the door.
Shen Yizhou looked through the peephole and saw Li Rou's boyfriend.
"I'm Li Rou's friend. Please open the door. I suddenly remembered something I haven't told you yet."
As her voice rang out, she knocked on the door a few more times.
Seeing that no one answered from inside, she became somewhat frantic and started kicking the door wildly, causing Shen Yizhou to take a step back.
The woman outside calmed down, stopped knocking, and walked away.
Shen Yizhou pulled He Tiantian into the room. "Li Rou's boyfriend is the murderer. Do you remember what the letter said?"
He Tiantian shook her head nervously.
“He underwent gender reassignment surgery for Li Rou, so he should be a man now. He kept urging Li Rou to kill Wu Xiong, but Li Rou didn’t do it. In a fit of anger, he killed Li Rou.”
As He Tiantian listened to Shen Yizhou's explanation, she suddenly remembered what she had seen on a variety show: murderers would return to the crime scene. It turned out to be true!
“Zhouzhou, I went to 504 when you were sleeping this morning and that’s where I saw him! He was sitting on the floor crying very sadly. When he saw me, he told me to get out.”
With a "ding," a familiar sound rang out.
[Congratulations to players Shen Yizhou and He Tiantian! You have completed the first task. Now please complete the second task and strive to survive for the remaining 10 days.]
Shen Yizhou cursed loudly, "This reform is not only about finding the murderer, but also about surviving."
Now that they have faced the killer head-on, surviving will not be an easy task.
Wu Xiong sneaked out of room 504. When he went down the stairs to the fourth floor, he encountered a woman holding a knife. He stopped the woman.
"Hey, aren't you Wang Lu, the one who's good friends with Li Rou?"
Wang Lu concealed the knife behind her back. "It's me. You still remember me?"
"Hey, Li Rou used to mention you every day. Why didn't you go to her funeral? That's so unfair to Li Rou!"
"You didn't go either, did you?"
Wu Xiong felt a little embarrassed by her question, "I'm going downstairs to buy some wine, I'm not talking to you anymore."
He rushed downstairs, intending to go to room 404, but ended up running into Wang Lu.
Wu Xiong stood in the lobby on the first floor, and the more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. Wasn't Wang Lu supposed to be very rich? How could she possibly live in such a dilapidated place?
Why isn't she looking at Li Rou? Did they have a fight?
He turned around, stepped into the elevator, and went straight up to the 4th floor.
He stopped in front of room 404 and tentatively knocked on the door.
When Shen Yizhou saw that it was Wu Xiong, he said, "What are you doing here? Are you looking for trouble? I'm calling the police."
"Hey, young man, you're overthinking it. Open the door first."
Wu Xiong tried every possible way to get Shen Yizhou to open the door, but the kid just wouldn't listen.
He was somewhat resentful after being turned away and wanted to teach the two young men a lesson.
As soon as I got back to the 5th floor, I saw Wang Lu standing at the door. "Wang Lu, why didn't you go home?"
"Ah, Brother Wu, I forgot to take the things I left with Rou Rou. I'd like to go in and look for them."
Wu Xiong was somewhat reluctant, but she was his deceased wife's best friend, so after thinking it over, he let her go in to look for it anyway.
"Brother Wu, where does Rou Rou usually keep her letters and such?"
Wu Xiong thought for a moment and said, "It should be in the study or a drawer in the room. Look for it there."
Wang Lu hesitated for a moment before nodding and walking into the room to start searching. She actually knew exactly where Li Rou had put it.
She reached under the cabinet and pulled out the key stuck to it, then crawled under the bed and pulled out a small silver box.
She glanced at the door again. Wu Xiong was sitting on the sofa watching TV. She gently pried up the floorboards, and the letter inside was gone!
She was a little flustered, but she also felt it wasn't a big deal, since the words on it couldn't be seen without using the right method.
After gently placing it on the floor, she looked up at the clock on the door; all that was missing was the contents of the clock.
Wu Xiong burst into laughter while watching TV, but Wang Lu was really annoyed with him and gripped the knife tightly in her hand.
As she approached Wu Xiong step by step, just as she was about to strike, there was a knock on the door.
"Old Wu, open the door, I'm the landlord!"
Wu Xiong stood up impatiently, and Wang Lu quickly retreated to the doorway, pretending that she had just come out.
"Old woman, what brings you here again?"
"I've invited someone to perform a ritual tomorrow, so you'd better go somewhere cool and stay there."
"Seriously, old woman? Do you have to be so superstitious?"
"Pah, pah, pah, you're just a pig customer, what do you know? Get out of here tomorrow."
The landlady saw Wang Lu standing at the bedroom door and said, "Oh, aren't you the tenant of 603? What are you doing here?"
"Grandma, I'm here to look for something."
"Go away, go back to 603."
Left with no other choice, Wang Lu had to go back, thinking she would come back another time. She didn't want to hurt any more innocent people.
