Chapter 81 You are the murderers!
Inside the room, Pei Yanchuan was taking a shower when Xu Wang opened the door wearing slippers.
The area outside the door was empty. Xu looked left and right, and finally looked down and saw the file bag on the ground.
Xu Wang picked it up with a bewildered expression.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Yanchuan also came out at this time, with a towel on his head and water droplets dripping from the ends of his hair.
Xu Wang shook the file bag in his hand.
The security camera at the door also turned slightly in response to his movement.
Xu Wang looked at the red dot on the camera and realized that this must be the production team's idea again.
Xu Wang stood under the camera and opened the file bag in his hand.
There was a piece of paper and a cell phone in the document bag.
The paper had six large black characters printed on it, along with an exclamation mark.
You are the murderers!
Xu Wang raised an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Pei Yanchuan. Neither of them showed surprise; instead, a hint of understanding flashed in their eyes.
Xu Wang took out his phone, the wallpaper of which was a photo of the two of them, and the phone clearly explained their plan.
The plan concluded with the two's task for tomorrow: to successfully escape during the identification process at noon.
Upon seeing this scene in the live stream, the screen was filled with "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").
At the same time, the live stream screen went completely black.
The live stream started on time the next day, and everyone appeared at the dining table after washing up.
"Good morning, everyone." Gu Yunlan greeted everyone while eating toast.
"Good morning." Xu Wang yawned.
Xia Yu remained slumped in Hou Yunqi's arms with her eyes closed until they began to eat breakfast, at which point she became a little more awake.
“Let’s take a look at the crime scene together today, and then split up,” Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan suggested suddenly after exchanging a glance.
The others didn't think much of Xu Wang's suggestion and all agreed.
After breakfast, the group went to the castle hall. The NPC was very professional, sitting on the sofa in the hall in the same position as yesterday.
Xu Wang approached the NPC and his eyes immediately fell on the dagger in the NPC's chest.
The dagger was exquisitely crafted and inlaid with several gemstones, making it clearly very valuable.
Xu Wang observed it carefully for a while and suddenly noticed a character engraved on the dagger.
"Everyone, come and see! Are there words on this dagger?" Xu Wang shouted, bending over.
"Let me see." Yunxi leaned closer.
"It's the character 'Jiang'."
Yunxi's words drew everyone's attention to Jiang Xiubai.
Jiang Xiubai's eyes widened. How did this blame suddenly fall on him?
"It is indeed a bit strange. It seems that Jiang Xiubai is the only one among us who has no motive for murder. If it weren't for seeing this dagger today, he would be as clean as a blank sheet of paper." Xia Yu touched his bald chin.
"Now that you mention it, it's true." Xu Wang agreed with a hint of smugness in his eyes.
"Maybe the murderer stole my dagger and framed me," Jiang Xiubai said, crossing his arms.
"It's not impossible, but we don't have enough clues yet. Let's split up and search separately. We'll meet here at noon and find the culprit based on the clues we have," Qin Huai suggested.
"good."
Everyone split into pairs and act separately.
After Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan walked away, they took out their phones. Their plan had made everyone a suspect, but in the end, it was the two of them who made the move.
The reason was that time was running out. The moment the old duke learned of the bloodline, he planned to acknowledge Yunxi, depose Xu Wang, and hope that Pei Yanchuan could marry the son he had found.
Xu Wang shook his head as he looked at the complicated plan. The director must have racked his brains to come up with this plot.
Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan's mission today is to successfully frame someone.
Meanwhile, Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai were still wandering around the crime scene when suddenly a phone rang.
Yunxi walked to the sofa and discovered that the phone ringing seemed to be coming from under the sofa.
Yunxi carefully picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Your Grace, this is Attorney Tang. I have drafted your will according to your wishes. I'd like to confirm with you one last time: are you sure that Mr. Yunxi is your final heir?" A businesslike male voice came from the phone.
Yunxi and Jiang Xiubai exchanged a glance. "I am the heir!"
I called out several times on the other end of the phone, but there was no response, so I had to hang up.
"The Duke has already made his will?" Yunxi put down her phone and looked at the man on the sofa with a blank expression.
[Important note! Yunxi, you can be even bolder in your thinking.]
[This should be considered a key clue!]
Let's wait and see whether the murdering couple will be caught together or escape together.
Upstairs, Xia Yu, relying on his keen sixth sense, pulled Hou Yun up and led him to Pei Yanchuan's room.
The room was as clean and tidy as it had been yesterday, and the two began to search carefully.
After failing to find anything, Xia Yu started fiddling with the computer on his desk. As a computer expert, he searched through some deleted information and finally found an important message.
It was sent to Pei Yanchuan by the old duke. In this message, the old duke clearly told him that Xu Wang was not his biological son, and that he had found his biological son. He hoped that Pei Yanchuan could marry his biological son.
Pei Yanchuan did not reply after seeing it, but instead chose to delete it directly.
Xia Yu stared, her mouth agape.
Time flies, and soon it was time to meet.
Everyone returned to the hall.
The director appeared in the lobby at some point, wearing a tight black suit and a large hat, with his back to Xu Wang and the others.
"I heard that His Excellency the Duke was murdered. Has anyone found the killer?" The director asked, his voice hoarse and his face grave as he turned to look at the crowd.
"Is he playing the detective?" Xia Yu asked uncertainly.
"Maybe, perhaps, probably?" Xu Wang used three uncertain words directly.
