Lu Xiaoyao cried, and everyone laughed.

Whether it was the players surrounding the evidence Lu Xiaoyao had just brought out, now lying on the ground, or the viewers in front of the screen watching Lu Xiaoyao's pitiful, unnoticed plight, everyone was laughing happily.

Except for Lu Xiaoyao.

"Waaah, even Uncle JC doesn't care about me anymore, waaaah!"

Lu Xiaoyao, who couldn't bear the "suffering," hadn't taken two steps when she suddenly cried out and sat down on the ground again.

Her body slumped to the side, and Mingmei never expected that Lu Xiaoyao would hug her leg like that, using it as a pillar to lean on while she wailed.

Mingmei: =。=

It was all because this Sky Garden wasn't big enough; Lu Xiaoyao could reach her in just two steps!

Mingmei couldn't ignore Lu Xiaoyao now. Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, which resembled a poultry farm, with duck and chicken calls taking off, expressing crazy laughter at Lu Xiaoyao finally not holding back for five seconds and bursting into tears.

"Stop crying, everyone is solving the case..."

Feeling the tears soaking through her pants, Mingmei finally couldn't bear it anymore and stretched out a hand to stop Lu Xiaoyao, who was trying to lean her head over again.

"Ugh... my leg hurts QAQ!"

Lu Xiaoyao took the opportunity to act spoiled, but Mingmei suddenly put on a stern face and said, "It won't hurt if you chop it off."

Lu Xiaoyao: ???

What did she just hear?

Seeing Lu Xiaoyao staring at her with wide eyes, looking like she had seen a ghost, Mingmei continued to threaten, "If you chop off your leg, you won't have to worry about leg pain anymore~"

Mingmei lowered her head, and her ink-like long hair slid down with her bending motion, falling on both sides of Lu Xiaoyao. Seeing the large shadow on her face, Lu Xiaoyao felt a suffocating feeling sweeping through her whole body.

Instantly, Lu Xiaoyao was so frightened that she let go of Mingmei's leg and scurried towards the circle of people.

She directly squeezed into the center of the circle, pushing aside the so-called urn.

Everyone: =。=？

Lu Xiaoyao: QwQ!

Lu Xiaoyao wanted to say that there was something wrong with an NPC, but when she looked up, she saw the other party smiling at her as if nothing had happened.

That smile made Lu Xiaoyao's tailbone hurt with horror!

She would never admit that her tailbone didn't hurt because she had rolled and crawled on the ground and bumped it a couple of times!

"Perfect, you need to tell us exactly what happened earlier."

Lou Jia didn't care how Lu Xiaoyao had suddenly rushed into the circle; he just wanted to know what had happened between her and Charlie earlier.

"Actually, it's nothing. I was just collecting evidence in his room, and when I found this box, Charlie suddenly appeared behind me, looking ferocious and trying to snatch the box. I was so scared that I kicked him and ran away... and then he chased me while shouting."

As she spoke, Lu Xiaoyao's eyes fell on Lou Jia, who was holding a few pieces of paper, and she leaned over to ask, "By the way, what's written in here?"

"Nothing much, just Charlie's parents' death compensation letter."

"Huh?" Lu Xiaoyao was stunned and quickly leaned over, "Let me see."

She took the paper from Lou Jia's hand and looked at it closely. Then, Lu Xiaoyao exclaimed, "I understand!" attracting everyone's attention!

"You understand what?"

"I remembered when I was in his room earlier, that newspaper with the dead person's picture on it mentioned the company the deceased invested in, right? I directly searched for the company on my phone, and guess what?"

"Hmm?"

"Didn't you notice the company name written on his parents' death compensation letter?"

"You're saying..."

Lou Jia's face was filled with disbelief as he said, "Shu Chuan's initial investment was in the company that caused Charlie's parents' death?"

Lu Xiaoyao nodded, but Li Yuan noticed carefully, saying, "But, I remember the newspaper reported that the company Shu Chuan invested in was a coal mine, but this compensation letter says they died in a landslide at a quarry."

"Because the original company was indeed a quarry, but after our boss invested and updated the equipment, he discovered that there was a coal mine under the quarry, and then he started a coal mining business."

"Damn, what kind of luck is that?"

Lu Xiaoyao and the others were shocked. No wonder Shu Chuan had so much wealth at such a young age; he had a mine!

"So, Charlie resents Shu Chuan because of his parents' death?"

"To be precise, our boss hadn't invested in that company yet when his parents died. Our boss had someone investigate the company's situation first.

Although I don't know how this matter was suppressed, if my boss knew about the cave-in and deaths, he probably wouldn't have invested so quickly; he would have hesitated for a few more days,"

"So, someone wanted to silence them and suppress the matter back then?"

After everyone spoke, Mu Chen nodded.

"But, the compensation was only two hundred thousand for both of them."

Lu Xiaoyao remembered that Mu Chen had mentioned that Charlie's family had already made a lot of money from the demolition when he questioned Charlie earlier. "Is that enough to silence them? Is this boss too stingy? Or is Charlie out of his mind, agreeing for only two hundred thousand? Even if you want to silence them, you have to give them something, right?"

"It shouldn't be up to him. The boss of that company is connected to a local leader. Later, our boss invested a lot more money in that area because of the mine."

"Eww, eww, eww!"

This situation was really disgusting.

Mu Chen then leisurely added, "Haven't you heard, 'Don't fight the officials'?"

"So, cherish the good times now; things are much better now than in the past."

Lu Xiaoyao strongly disagreed with what Mu Chen said and took this opportunity to tell the viewers in the live broadcast room that now is a good time.

The comments section argued about this, but Mingmei didn't have time to look at the comments. Listening to Lu Xiaoyao, Mu Chen, and the others, from the evidence they had obtained, Charlie's motive for killing Shu Chuan had already emerged.

Was there still a need to continue the investigation?

"Let's go downstairs first and consolidate the information everyone has gathered."

Although everything seemed to be going smoothly, Lou Jia's heart was a little chaotic at the moment.

He felt like something was wrong somewhere.

He spoke, telling everyone to go downstairs, but he himself remained standing there. After everyone had left, he turned back and looked at the old newspaper that Lu Xiaoyao had been holding earlier.

It was lying pitifully on the ground.

They had only cared about the contents of the box, and no one had paid attention to the newspaper that had been flipped through so many times by the players. Compelled by some inexplicable force, he walked to the back and picked up the newspaper...
