"That's strange. You just want to escape from here, but Chu Feng wants his pawnshop back. Isn't this a contradiction?" Jiang Yeping looked at Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu.
Xu Yu immediately said, "I did have a plan. I would take her back to the pawnshop, sell her, and then run away with her."
Jiang Yeping found this difficult to explain and pressed on, "Since your plan was to take back the pawnshop and flee, there was no need for you to resort to murder, right? Doesn't that mean you don't plan on leaving this town?"
"No, Chu Feng can only get the pawnshop if he dies. It is impossible for the deceased to return the pawnshop to Chu Feng while he is alive." Li Haonan interjected.
Jiang Yeping felt a little confused. What Li Haonan said was right, but she just felt that Chu Feng's words and his actions did not match.
Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts and thanked Li Haonan for his great assist.
"Yes, how can I get the pawnshop back if he doesn't die? So only if he dies will I have the chance to sell the pawnshop and run away with Shuang'er." Xu Yu continued to confuse everyone's thoughts.
Everyone was persuaded by Xu Yu and Chu Zhaozhao, and simply started the second round of evidence collection.
New evidence has emerged, which is very unfavorable to Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu. There are even signs that the murderer may be two people.
"What does this mean? The cause of death was poisoning and excessive blood loss. Does that mean there are two murderers?" Wang Ran asked, holding the evidence.
Chu Zhaozhao hurriedly said, "I feel like there were two methods used to commit the crime, but what you said can't be ruled out. But this probably means that the deceased died because of these two methods."
"Zhao Zhao, you are very abnormal. You talk so much. Something is not right." Jiang Yeping looked at Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Zhaozhao smiled helplessly without explaining, and Jiang Yiping temporarily dispelled her doubts.
As new evidence emerged, people also raised new doubts about the issue.
"Now, who doesn't have poison? That means we divide into two groups, one group uses knives, and the other group uses poison." Gao Hang said as he sorted out the evidence.
Chu Zhaozhao immediately stated that he had neither poison nor knife, and everyone could only believe it with suspicion.
"That means the sheriff and I have poison, and the rest of you have knives?" Jiang Yeping asked after taking a look around.
"I'm a scholar. Even if I have a knife, I wouldn't dare use it." Li Haonan defended himself.
In fact, if Li Haonan hadn't explained this, Jiang Yeping might not have suspected him, but when he suddenly explained this, Jiang Yeping noticed Li Haonan.
"You can say you dare to use it, but we don't know you well, so how can we know if you dare to use it? Besides, your timeline is completely possible to commit the crime."
Everyone looked at Li Haonan, especially Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu. They were very concerned about how Li Haonan would defend himself.
"I did have the time to commit the crime, but I knew Chu Feng and Cheng Shuang were there at that time. I had the intention to kill because of Chu Feng. Why didn't I act with Chu Feng but acted alone?" Li Haonan asked Jiang Yeping.
Jiang Yiping shouted in a hoarse voice, "You were publicly humiliated by the deceased. You had a very evil heart, and then you killed him in a fit of rage. Coincidentally, when he died from excessive blood loss, the poison that someone else had previously administered took effect, so he was doomed to die."
"Then I said you were the one who poisoned me!" Li Haonan bit back at Jiang Yeping.
Jiang Yiping and Li Haonan were arguing fiercely, and Wang Ran interrupted their argument.
"So, if that's the case, there are two murderers. Everyone says they only did one step, but the deceased died from two causes, so there must be two murderers, right?" Wang Ran asked.
Since the reasoning has reached this point, there is nothing to blame, so Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu did not interfere anymore.
Gao Hang felt that he was definitely not the murderer, so he stood up and analyzed the current situation for everyone.
"Since there are two murderers, let's vote separately. Who poisoned the victim and who stabbed him? It's possible that they are the same person, but they are hiding and no one has noticed."
A new discussion ensues, and inevitably a new dispute.
Now the director couldn't tell whether this was a dating show or a script-killing program.
The six people had been playing script-killing for a long time. Time quickly came to the point where it was time for lunch, so everyone could only vote in a hurry.
"What is certain is that the poison was administered by one person, and the knife was wielded by another. Let's throw the poison separately. Let's throw the poisoner first, and then we can all point to that person together."
After Jiang Yiping finished speaking, everyone stood up and lined up.
“Three, two, one…”
Some people voted for Jiang Yeping, and some voted for Gao Hang, but Jiang Yeping got more votes.
Jiang Yiping sighed, unwilling to argue anymore, and led everyone to cast down a murderer.
“Three, two, one…”
This time everyone voted for Li Haonan, but Gao Hang pointed to Chu Zhaozhao.
"Why did you vote for Chu Zhaozhao? She didn't have enough motive or time to kill." Wang Ran patted Gao Hang to express his incomprehension.
Gao Hang said firmly: "I don't believe she is that clean. I think there must be something wrong with her."
The votes have been cast and cannot be changed. Everyone is looking forward to seeing who the real murderer is.
Under everyone's gaze, Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu walked out hand in hand with smiles on their faces.
"Sorry, we fooled you. We won." Chu Zhaozhao said happily.
Jiang Yiping felt cheated, but still clapped her hands and applauded them.
"You see, I knew Chu Zhaozhao was definitely not that clean. She must have lied!" Gao Hang said excitedly.
Chu Zhaozhao explained to everyone why she lied, and everyone felt that it made sense in an instant.
"We shouldn't be biting each other. We are the ones who are affecting everyone's judgment." Li Haonan found Jiang Yeping and said.
Jiang Yiping sighed and said, "Forget it, if I lose, I lose. It's just a game anyway."
The director team told them that they had to make their own lunch today, and the ingredients were prepared for everyone, but everyone was immersed in the script-killing game and kept discussing some details.
"Family members, it's time to cook. If you don't cook now, you won't have time to take a nap." Chu Zhaozhao was in a good mood and greeted everyone.
Wang Ran first looked at what ingredients were available and then thought about what dishes he could make.
"Zhao Zhao, please help me get some tomatoes. Zhao Zhao, you wrote this timeline very well. I didn't run into anyone else." Jiang Yeping praised.
Chu Zhaozhao handed over a few tomatoes and then continued to discuss her mental journey at the time with Jiang Yeping.
"Do you want sweet and sour spareribs or garlic spareribs?" Li Haonan asked everyone while looking at the food in the pot.
But no one paid any attention to him. They were either washing vegetables or having heated discussions.
"Okay, it's over now, let's get cooking!"
Li Haonan yelled, and everyone stopped discussing it.
