Chapter 91 This Isn't Mine!

Lu Xiaoyao was dumbfounded!

What exactly had Mu Chen pulled out?!

Even if she wasn't the brightest bulb, the change in the other players' gazes after they received the seating chart from Mu Chen told her everything she needed to know—she was in deep trouble!

[Oh my god! How did the seating chart end up in the hands of the adjudicator this round?!]

[Heavens! This boss is really something; he got his hands on the chart and is now trying to pass the buck and wash his hands clean?]

[What, what? What are you guys talking about? What's wrong with the chart?]

[How is he "washing his hands clean?" Does this mean the boss is also a murderer?]

[Forget it; there's no point in explaining it in the comments. This game has a lot of details. If you guys don't understand, go back to the forums and read the plot analysis. Just watch for now. I want to see how this round will turn out.]

The comments exploded when Mu Chen suddenly produced an item that looked like a key piece of evidence.

Mingmei didn't understand some of the terms, but she knew that the item shouldn't be in Mu Chen's hands!

[Gee, what's an "adjudicator?"]

Mingmei took the opportunity to ask Guigui.

[Does the host want me to spoil it for you?]

Mingmei: [...] Forget it.

Mingmei decided that if she didn't understand by the end of the game, she would read the plot analysis afterward.

Even if it meant staying up all night and falling asleep in class tomorrow!

However, Mingmei also felt that this round was truly strange.

Strangely normal, strangely ordinary, yet with a hint of something not quite right in every aspect.

"If we have this chart, it can indeed explain things."

Lou Jia nodded, looking at the chart Mu Chen had produced. Lu Xiaoyao, who had been confused since Mu Chen took out the chart, met Lou Jia's gaze and seemed to understand the look in his eyes.

But she almost wished she hadn't!

Lou Jia was actually blaming her with his eyes?

He actually thought she had lied to him.

Lu Xiaoyao felt utterly wronged!

Just as Lu Xiaoyao was on the verge of tears and wanted to explain herself, she heard that familiar line she had heard at the beginning—

"Ms. Lu Renjia, you are under arrest."

This time, the crisp "click" came very quickly. Lu Xiaoyao heard the sound and looked down to see handcuffs on her wrists.

The JCs, who had been watching the show, finally resumed their role—arresting Lu Xiaoyao.

"I'm innocent!!!"

Lu Xiaoyao finally broke down!

Why was she the only one being sanctioned from beginning to end?!

And the key was, she was being framed?!

"You can claim innocence, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court. You have the right to remain silent... or speak. We will continue to collect other evidence. We will never wrong an innocent person..."

"But you're wronging me right now!"

JC: "...Rest assured, we will not let any evildoers go unpunished!"

"But your actions are letting the evildoers go unpunished!"

No matter how Lu Xiaoyao struggled, she was destined to be taken away today.

"I'm innocent!"

Finally, the sound of sirens soon echoed outside the building. Lu Xiaoyao, clutching the meeting room doorknob that she had broken off with her "great strength," was finally escorted into the police car with the combined "assistance" of several JCs.

Just as she was about to get into the car, Lu Xiaoyao was still "struggling desperately" to say she was innocent. But as Lu Xiaoyao turned to look at the three people standing in front of the building, especially the two standing behind Lou Jia, an incredible thought suddenly flashed through Mingmei's mind.

There wasn't just one murderer, but it also wasn't said that there were only two, right?

Or, perhaps, the one who died... wasn't the murderer either?

Lu Xiaoyao was so frightened by her own thoughts that she trembled uncontrollably. Then, she was pushed into the police car again.

Her expression changed from the indignation just now to the dazed look after being frightened by her thoughts. After she came back to her senses, she only felt a chill run through her.

She vaguely remembered, what was she doing when Charlie was standing behind her?

Oh, she was looking at an old newspaper about a news story where someone had won a lottery worth hundreds of millions but no one had claimed it.

The unclaimed part was circled several times in red, with the note "Why not him?!"

Not only that, Lu Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that the time on the newspaper corresponded exactly to the day after the deaths of the character Li Que's parents!

A jumble of fragmented clues suddenly filled Lu Xiaoyao's mind, but she clearly lacked the ability to sort out the relationships between these clues.

She needed help!

Therefore, since she was brought back to the police station, Lu Xiaoyao had been trying hard to see Lou Jia.

Even if her brain wasn't working well this round and she hadn't figured out many things, based on how Mu Chen was targeting her, Lu Xiaoyao didn't think Mu Chen was innocent.

She needed a smart person to help her gather more evidence.

When she saw Lou Jia again, Lu Xiaoyao grabbed him like a lifeline, telling him all about her suspicions of Mu Chen and the strange fragments she had found on the old newspaper in Charlie's room.

Since she was in the police station and the game wasn't over yet, it meant there must still be a turning point in this round!

That's what Lu Xiaoyao thought. Lou Jia had also realized that he had overlooked something when Lu Xiaoyao was taken away.

So, when Lu Xiaoyao asked to see him, he naturally agreed.

"I discovered those things you mentioned later as well."

He picked up the newspaper that Lu Xiaoyao had dropped later, and naturally noticed the things Lu Xiaoyao had said. For this reason, he also rummaged through the other old newspapers in Cha Sheng's room and looked at them carefully.

He found that the marks made in the old newspapers collected by Cha Sheng didn't seem to be circled out of interest.

"The marks he made were more like a kind of marking. A marking that seemed to reconfirm something."

As Lou Jia said this, he suddenly took a deep breath, suddenly looked up at Lu Xiaoyao, and said, "Afterward, I found the mysterious merchant who sells mala tang bento boxes and bought her bento box."

"Huh? What did you find?"

"I ate three boxes... The information in two of the boxes and the maocai bento box we ate before can actually be deduced, but there is one piece of information that makes me shudder the more I think about it now."

"What?"

[Is the reality you think is reality really reality?]

[Is the cub finally aware that the previous player wasn't messing with her?]

[It's really scary. From beginning to end, the detective and Lu Renjia are really... just insignificant characters.]

[Ah~ Although there are other players who play small characters who counterattack... But, this round, ah~]
