Chapter 363 Mu Chen's Doubts

“I was young and ignorant back then, and my temperament was a bit extreme. I hated the rich, didn't I?"

Charlie responded naturally, then changed the subject, "Besides, I hadn't even arrived here back then, and I didn't know this Shu Chuan. What grievances could I have? I was just young, vigorous, and suffering from chuunibyou at the time."

Charlie flatly denied that he hated Shu Chuan. There were only four suspects present. Besides the one outside cleaning the glass, Lu Xiaoyao had no evidence to prove she had a motive.

Mu Chen's evidence could at most prove that the deceased was interested in Li Yuan's role. Li Yuan had just said he didn't know about it, so if he was labeled as someone who hated the deceased, then there would be no need to continue investigating the case.

"But according to your demolition compensation case, you were already a small local tyrant at that time, right? Did you still need to hate the rich?"

Li Yuan didn't buy Charlie's explanation and raised his own doubts.

"Who would嫌弃xiánqì (dislike) money? Even if I had a little bit of money, could I compare with someone with hundreds of millions in assets?"

"But my boss only started his business four years ago. The reason he was in the newspaper at the time was because he had just invested in an unknown small company, and the small company's revival made him a lot of money. However, although it was said to be a lot of money, it—shouldn't have been more than you at the time, right?"

When Mu Chen spoke, he stared unblinkingly at Charlie, his eyes full of pressure, making everyone around him feel stressed, let alone Charlie himself.

"So what?! I just didn't like him at the time, so what?! Now we are good friends! Do you suspect that I killed my good friend?!"

"Hey, hey, everyone calm down, calm down."

Seeing that Charlie was about to explode, Lou Jia quickly spoke to stabilize Charlie's emotions, "So far, everyone is just presenting evidence, not saying who the murderer is yet."

As he spoke, he smiled apologetically in Mu Chen's direction, gesturing for him to continue speaking. However, Mu Chen said that he had already finished.

"In that case, are you missing a room to search?" Lu Xiaoyao pointed in Li Yuan's direction, "Didn't anyone search your room?"

"Wasn't that because you were so engrossed in Mu Secretary's notebook computer that we didn't have time to continue and missed a room?" Charlie heard Lu Xiaoyao's belated reaction, and his heart twinged again.

Had she forgotten that she had been urging her, but she hadn't appreciated it?

Could he still keep this teammate?

Probably not, right?

In contrast, Lu Xiaoyao could only laugh awkwardly and didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, I've already searched Li Que's room, it's quite..."

Lou Jia also opened his mouth at this time, his eyes falling on Li Yuan. Li Yuan looked back at him, puzzled, and then Lou Jia said, "Clean."

Everyone: ??

Shocked by everyone's speechless expressions, Lou Jia reacted at this time and immediately added, "Not the neatness of young people, but the cleanliness of old people, simple, the breakfast they ate in the morning was still longan and red date porridge, and the cup was filled with wolfberries."

For a while, everyone still didn't know what expression to use to face Lou Jia's statement.

"Is being health-conscious unlike young people?" Lu Xiaoyao said before Li Yuan could, "Don't I often play games day and night? I often have Suxiao Jiuxin Pills (救心丸, quick-acting heart-saving pills) in my game pod."

Hearing the specialty medicine of Hua Lanxing, Mingmei couldn't help but glance at Lu Xiaoyao, and then she found that sure enough, the barrage was off topic again.

[Speaking of which, Suxiao Jiuxin Pills are really useful for people with ordinary physiques. I often work overtime, so I also keep them.]

[Oh my god, are there still jobs that require overtime besides students these days?]

[Nonsense, of course there are →_→]

……

In this regard, Li Yuan also nodded and said, "It's better to start taking care of your health early. Is this also something to criticize? And who said boys' rooms can't be clean? Can't I clean up?"

"That's true, but...why is the way you dressed and the background environment of your dormitory in the photos you took when you were in school so different from how you look now?"

Lou Jia then put a pile of pictures in front of everyone and continued, "You just graduated not long ago. Even if you explain that the change in dressing style from white t-shirts to shirts is understandable because you have to work and enter society.

Then if you have always been clean and tidy, and other people in the university dormitory are not particular, you will also clean up, right? But in this picture, the background is not very dirty, but it is far from your current living environment, right?"

"That picture was taken when our dormitory hadn't had time to clean up yet. It's not usually like that."

Seeing that there was no panic or tension on Li Yuan's face, the others turned their attention to Lou Jia, and some wondered if Lou Jia was making a fuss.

"If that's really the case, then your dormitory can't always be messy and not cleaned up every time you take a group photo, right? What? Do you want to commemorate the dormitory that is about to be cleaned up by you when taking pictures?"

Lou Jia picked out those photos with the dormitory as the background and pointed to those dirty and messy background pictures that were similar to before. For a while, Li Yuan didn't know what to say.

Mu Chen glanced at Li Yuan, who was bowing his head and not saying anything, but silently said, "These can only prove that his persona is inconsistent, what does it have to do with the deceased? Detective, do you have any other evidence?"

Hearing that Mu Chen was actually helping Li Yuan speak, a light flashed in Mingmei's eyes.

She had eaten the boxed lunch before, and naturally she also received a message—[There is more than one murderer.]

Could it be that this sentence means that besides the main culprit, there is also an accomplice?

Mingmei cast her suspicious gaze on Li Yuan and Mu Chen, and she had already begun to silently think about the possibility of her boyfriend committing a crime with someone else.

Not only Mingmei had such a reaction, but Li Yuan was also taken aback by Mu Chen's sudden rescue.

He turned his head and secretly sized up Mu Chen, who was calm and composed, and couldn't see anything unusual, but he was muttering in his heart for a while.

He didn't know what Mu Chen was doing.

"Ah...I remembered."

Lou Jia was too focused on questioning Li Yuan just now, and he almost forgot about the hidden trap on the stage outside that had not been discovered.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Li Yuan for a while, he told the other deadly arrangement on the stage outside.

Scaring everyone present.

"Wow! This murderer has such a vicious heart!"

Everyone followed Lou Jia outside to see the dangerous trap with their own eyes. If the probability of being砸死 zá sǐ (crushed to death) by a flower pot falling from the sky was very small, then this trap would definitely be凉凉 liáng liáng (hopeless) as long as one stepped on it.

"They are not afraid of one trick failing, this is simply a series of tricks! It's too scary, right?"

This time, Lu Xiaoyao's brain circuit was rarely normal, and she actually thought of the same thing as Lou Jia...
