The director team told Jiang Yeping that the venue for the script-killing game was ready. Jiang Yeping nodded and led everyone there.
"Let me make this clear first. I haven't played this book either, but I heard there's a love storyline. Everyone needs to immerse themselves in it as soon as they get the book. Don't get distracted."
Jiang Yeping opened the script-killing game in front of everyone and asked everyone to draw their own scripts.
"Who are Chu Feng and Cheng Shuang?" Jiang Yiping asked excitedly.
Xu Yu and Chu Zhaozhao raised their hands, and Jiang Yeping said with a suppressed smile that she understood.
Chu Zhaozhao looked at Xu Yu. His face was calm, so she stopped secretly looking at him.
"Everyone, please read your script first, and then we will make a brief self-introduction so that everyone knows who you are." Jiang Yeping said rhythmically.
The script was quite long, so everyone read it word by word.
"It's time to introduce myself. Let's start with Chu Feng." Jiang Yeping looked at Xu Yu.
Xu Yu put down the script and said, "My name is Chu Feng. I am the heir to the Chu family pawnshop, but I prefer others to think of me as a university student who studied abroad. My relationship with the deceased is that he was our family's servant and I was his boss."
"Next, Cheng Shuang."
Chu Zhaozhao organized her words and spoke confidently, "My name is Cheng Shuang. I'm the daughter of the deceased. I work as a handyman in this pawnshop."
Jiang Yiping's role is a customer of the pawnshop, and she has had business dealings with the pawnshop for many years.
Li Haonan's role is Xu Yu's good brother, Wang Ran's role is the owner of the shop next door, and Gao Hang's role is a sheriff who investigates a case that has not been solved for many years.
The process of playing script-killing is very long. As everyone plays, they seem to no longer care about how the deceased died. Instead, they all focus on the relationship between Cheng Shuang and Chu Feng.
"This is the first round of roundtable discussion. If you have any questions, please lay out the evidence and ask the suspect. The suspect must explain clearly."
Everyone nodded, holding evidence in their hands and ready to question the suspect.
"Come here, come here, Chengshuang. There are footprints in front of your window. Do you know where these footprints are?" Wang Ran asked anxiously.
Chu Zhaozhao shook his head and said, "I don't know when this footprint was left."
"Does that mean you know who stayed behind?" Wang Ran asked.
Chu Zhaozhao said, "I won't reveal too much until the evidence is presented. Unless you ask me with evidence, I will naturally tell you then."
"I know who it is. Is it Chu Feng? The deceased died in his own room, which is right next to yours. It is possible that Chu Feng committed the crime and then slipped away from your room, right?" Jiang Yiping pointed at Chu Zhaozhao and asked.
In fact, Jiang Yeping was already very close to the truth, and Chu Zhaozhao was a little nervous.
In this case, she and Xu Yu were accomplices.
If either of the two people is caught, their mission will fail.
"It was Chu Feng, but my father was still alive at that time. He came knocking on my door at 8:10 in the evening. I was afraid that he would see Chu Feng, so I let Chu Feng jump out of the window and run away." Chu Zhaozhao explained.
Gao Hang brought out new clues and interrogated Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu. Fortunately, they both fooled him, and made everyone feel confused about the murderer.
"Let me ask you, the bottle of poison in your room was used, and you also went to the tea room. You had plenty of time to poison it. You said you didn't use the poison, so who could have entered your room?" Chu Zhaozhao asked Jiang Yeping.
Jiang Yiping explained, "My drugs are in my room. Logically, none of you can get in. But anyone who has been to the black market knows that I bought drugs there. Didn't you see them there? Drugs are so expensive, most people definitely can't afford them. You might come and steal my drugs."
Everyone asked each other a lot of questions, but none of them could help them eliminate the suspects and find the real culprit, and everyone fell into deep thought.
"Then we can only start with murderous intent. Everyone, please tell us about the murderous intent that has emerged in your mind, and then we will conduct a second round of evidence collection."
The first person to talk about her murderous intentions was Wang Ran. It was obvious that she felt she was very clean and could not be a suspect.
"My murderous intention was that many years ago, my father and the deceased both worked in this pawnshop, but he falsely accused my father of stealing and falsifying accounts. Unable to bear such a heavy debt, my father committed suicide, and my family fell into poverty. However, I haven't figured out how to kill him yet, and I've only been back in this town for less than a week."
Xu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I think even if it's less than a week, with your talent and knowledge, you should be able to come up with a solution. You've been wandering around and seen so much of the world, so it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
Xu Yu cleverly shifted the conflict to Wang Ran, and Wang Ran's face and neck turned red in his defense.
"I didn't have time to do it. If what Cheng Shuang said is true, he was still alive at 8:10 and was found dead at 9 o'clock. But I have been receiving customers in my pawnshop all this time. Someone can prove it for me."
Wang Ran’s defense was so powerful that Xu Yu and Chu Zhaozhao had no choice but to give up and turn to framing other people.
"My intention to kill is that I found that the deceased is very likely the murderer of the case I have been investigating, but I don't want to kill him. I want to bring him to justice, it's that simple." Gao Hang said righteously.
Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu tacitly chose not to step on Gao Hang, and looked forward to the next person's speech.
"My intention to kill is that my interests have been exploited since the deceased took over this pawnshop. In the end, he cheated me of my money. I lost all my property and was in debt. My intention to kill should not be the most urgent."
Jiang Yiping's defense was also very powerful, and Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu did not choose to step on her.
"I'm Chu Feng's good brother. Chu Feng and I grew up together. His business is my business. So when Chu Feng told me that this was his shop but the deceased had taken it over, I was indignant. I wanted to find the deceased to argue with him, but I didn't want to kill him."
"Why wouldn't you want to kill him? Didn't he humiliate you in public? You are a noble young man, don't you care about being humiliated in public?" Chu Zhaozhao asked.
Li Haonan looked at the script and said, "Why is my character so nice in this page? Anyway, I just don't want to kill him."
"Look at you, you're out of character!" Jiang Yeping blamed Li Haonan.
"My murderous intention is very simple. This is my family's shop. He occupied our pawnshop and abused Shuang'er. If he dies, my pawnshop will be back, and Shuang'er and I can be together legitimately." Xu Yu said.
Chu Zhaozhao nodded and added, "The deceased was my adoptive father, but he always abused me and wanted to sell me to a landlord as a concubine. He beat me when I disagreed, but I only thought about running away, not killing him."
