Chapter 44 Hiding



“I’m really not the murderer.” Yin Chengjue continued to cast his vote for Hua Yun, and said, “Although I haven’t found any key evidence to prove that Hua Yun is Jiao Yu, I saw the nail polish marks on the back of his collar. The color of the nail polish is exactly the same as the one on the victim’s body.”

"It's like a woman who has just applied nail polish, which hasn't dried yet, hugging someone she knows, only to be hit hard. In the struggle, she grabs the other person's clothes and gets the polish on her."

"The clothes we're wearing now were all prepared by the props team. It's normal to leave clues on the clothes to fit the characters."

Xiao Xiao asked in surprise, "Why didn't you tell us this crucial information before we voted?"

Yin Chengjue shook his head and frowned, saying, "I always feel like something is missing, and I'd like to see your answer."

"Well, so now, without a doubt, we've voted for Brother Hua?" Rong Yu said from the side, "I believe Brother Yin isn't the murderer."

After saying that, Rong Yu cast her vote for Hua Yun.

Now that Hua Yun had two votes, it was no use for Xiao Xiao to insist on voting for Yin Chengjue, so he simply voted for Hua Yun as well.

"Beep!—" After casting the last vote, a sweet female voice rang out throughout the hotel: "The detective has cast his vote. The detective has cast his vote."

"The results of the detective vote are now being announced."

"The three detectives' vote was—wrong!"

"The detective failed, and the real culprit escaped."

Hearing the voice on the radio, Yin Chengjue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! The murderer isn't Jiao Yu! Jiao Yu only injured Xixi, but the fatal injury was suffocation!"

After Jiao Yu injured Xi Xi, someone strangled her to death!

Who is it? Who else? There are too few clues; they don't connect at all!

“There are too few clues…” Rong Yu sighed, then suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture of clasping his hands together: “That’s because I was the first person to find a clue.”

“I’m sorry, Brother Yin, Brother Xiao…” Rong Yu turned his head away, seemingly reluctant to say it directly: “After I found the clues, I hid them again.”

"Hide? Why did you do that?" Xiao Xiao had just recovered from the shock of losing the vote and the real culprit escaping, and was still a little confused by Rong Yu's apology.

"Because he is the murderer."

"Because I am the murderer."

Yin Chengjue and Rong Yu's voices suddenly overlapped, echoing in Xiao Xiao's ears.

Three staff members dressed in black appeared out of nowhere, covered the mouths of the three men, and dragged them out.

It was probably to conceal Rong Yu's identity as the murderer from the people in other mission lines, and to provide cover for Rong Yu.

After all, it will be Rong Yu facing off against the remaining six people all by herself.

"Waaah!" After Xiao Xiao went out, she bumped into the guard walking from the other side of the corridor. She immediately tried to speak, but the man in black ruthlessly covered her mouth.

"What? This game is played like this? Who is the murderer? Who did you vote for?" the guard asked repeatedly.

Xiao Xiao: "Waaaaah!"

The staff member in black explained, "We cannot disclose any information."

"Oh, okay then..." the guard said, indicating that he understood.

The three were taken to Qin Linlin's place, where tea and snacks had already been prepared. Qin Linlin had Rong Yu change into a black hooded outfit before they re-entered the hotel. Yin Chengjue and Xiao Xiao had already been eliminated and could only sit there and watch.

Xiao Xiao took a big bite of her apple with a frustrated look on her face: "Young Master Yin, is he a new employee of your company? He's incredibly fast at finding things!"

Qin Linlin, who had been watching from outside the camera, laughed when she heard this, "You'll see when the footage is edited. Xiaoyu really did a thorough search, leaving no clues anywhere he went! You're not wronged at all, mainly because he hid the key clues pointing to him so well. None of our staff could hide them as well as he could."

"Where did he hide it? I remember the rules say that clues cannot be destroyed," Xiao Xiao asked curiously.

"Well... I'll keep the rest a secret until you watch the show. I'll just mention one thing: Xiaoyu manually disassembled a toilet and hid the treasure chest inside the gap in the plastic casing outside the pipe."
