As the countdown reached zero, changes occurred on the screen.
[A murder occurred in the hotel at night. Please find out the truth within 3 hours and enter the decryption countdown]
【Distance to end: 2:59:59】
Then, the scene happened just like that, and the next second, Lin Xiaoman came out of the small dark room mode.
The light in front of him was so bright that it was a bit dazzling. Lin Xiaoman subconsciously raised his hand to block the light, then squinted his eyes and saw a big iron gate right in front of him.
The rusty spots that give it a sense of age look very familiar.
Through the iron gate, the inside was very desolate, with the plants looking abandoned and not having been rested for a long time. The building, which looked old on the surface, was vaguely visible under the cover of the trees.
The courtyard gate of the hotel!
That is to say, she returned to the scene, and it was obvious that it was daytime now.
He figured out where he was at the first moment. Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Xiaoman seemed to think there was someone next to him, so he tilted his head.
Beside him was a man in black, and it wasn't just one man, but two, one big and one small.
Although the little one was mostly blocked, but looking at the gorgeous retro brocade robe and the young figure, Lin Xiaoman knew without a doubt that it was Long Jiujiu!
Then the one next to it...
The great Shao Qi from No. 15!
With the standard mentality of a small size worshipping a large size, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but secretly look at it. It was all black, and somewhat looked like a combat uniform, but the material did not look like ordinary cloth. It looked more like some high-tech material that Lin Xiaoman had seen in the highly developed interstellar world.
He was very tall, definitely over 1.85 meters tall, with an upright posture, standing straight like a strong pine tree. Because of his height and standing angle, Lin Xiaoman could only see a very resolute profile.
Obviously noticing her gaze, Shao Qi turned his face to the side and looked over.
When I saw him from the side, I thought he was a handsome guy, and when I saw him from the front, I realized he was indeed a handsome guy.
He has sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a serious face. He exudes the rigor and coldness unique to a certain profession, appearing very masculine and tough. However, because of his delicate facial features and a skin color that is slightly lighter than that of an ordinary rough man, he has a somewhat elegant temperament and is very attractive.
Lin Xiaoman was caught peeping, and he was silently embarrassed, but then he immediately put on a smile, a standard flattering smile of a bootlicker, "Hello, Master!"
Although they had met several times, this kind of formal meeting was definitely the first time. Lin Xiaoman was a little nervous as she was so close to the front row number for the first time.
With a simple nod as a greeting, Shao Qi retracted his gaze and returned it to the light screen in front of him. He continued to check the relevant information on the screen with a serious expression.
For some reason, Lin Xiaoman remembered the first time he met this person during his first mission when he was still a rookie.
When they first met, he simply nodded in the same way. Unfortunately, she was very miserable because her thoughts were not on the same line as his and she didn't understand anything!
I was just guessing all sorts of things at the time and was actually scaring myself!
Dark history, dark history!
Lin Xiaoman silently withdrew his gaze, followed the crowd and remained quiet, and also started to read the information.
On the system light screen displayed in front of him, the countdown time has been hung in the upper right corner, occupying a small corner, reminding him of the passage of time second by second.
At the very top of the screen were four large characters: [Related People], and at the bottom, in slightly smaller font, were the names.
【Sun Lingling】
【Wang Guowei】
【Jiang Lei】
The first three people are shown in gray, and the ones below are in black.
Is he dead?
Lin Xiaoman was so surprised that she reached out and pointed at [Sun Lingling].
Then the interface switches.
The deceased: Sun Lingling, female, 28 years old. Place of death: at the end of the corridor on the second floor of the hotel. Please search for relevant clues on your own.
Lin Xiaoman: Huh?
Search on your own?
So they had to perform the autopsy themselves? Was the body still there? Or were they just making it up out of thin air?
However, with Shi Yansheng's perspective, Lin Xiaoman was full of doubts. What she saw was that Sun Lingling was grabbed by the hair by Jiang Lei and banged her head against the wall, and died!
See it with your own eyes!
So, the murderer is Jiang Lei, is it that simple?
That shouldn’t be the case, right?
Could it be that the characters were randomly drawn, and she was lucky enough to draw Shi Yansheng, thus getting first-hand information?
The character of Jiang Lei is also gray, and he died too!
Driven by the desire to survive, Shi Yansheng stabbed the person to death with a knife?
wrong!
It definitely won’t be that simple!
If the truth is so crude, what's the point of deciphering it?
There must be something she doesn't know.
Because no information had been exchanged yet, Lin Xiaoman didn't think much about it and exited directly, then clicked on [Wang Guowei].
Deceased: Wang Guowei, male, 49 years old. Place of death: monitoring room in the basement of the hotel. Please search for relevant clues on your own.
After exiting, Lin Xiaoman clicked on [Jiang Lei] again, and sure enough, Jiang Lei was also dead.
Deceased: Jiang Lei, male, 21 years old. Place of death: in an SUV in the hotel parking lot. Please search for relevant clues on your own.
Because there was no substantial content, Lin Xiaoman simply glanced at it and returned to the homepage.
Following the three gloomy names, there are more people.
【Stone Voice】
【Jiang Shian】
【Xu Enze】
【Ren Xiaonan】
【Xiao Qing】
【Lim Chun-hyang】
Wu Wenming
【Wang Ziming】
【Sun Dalong】
【Sun Yiwen】
…
The list includes the prank team, three staff members in the hotel, the four people who were pranked in the previous four days, and the hotel owner, Sun Dalong, who was called Fatty Sun by the group.
With a little doubt, Lin Xiaoman clicked on Shi Yansheng, the first one.
This time, the interface obviously has more information.
Question: Name, age, and relationship to the three deceased persons?
Shi Yansheng: Shi Yansheng, 25 years old. Sun Lingling was my colleague, Wang Guowei was my boss. As for Jiang Lei, I didn't know him. He was a paid hotel experiencer, the one we were trying to scare. Before this, I had never met him; he was a complete stranger.
Q: Please recount the situation at that time truthfully.
Shi Yansheng: We were planning to scare Jiang Lei and filmed the scene for use as footage. It was around 10 PM, and the boss, Jiang, and I were in the monitoring room. When we saw it was almost time, we took action...
The narrative was very long, and Lin Xiaoman read it through quickly.
Although her speech became a little incoherent at the end because the experience was obviously too horrific, Shi Yansheng's entire narration was completely true and there was nothing wrong with it. It was the same as what she saw.
