Chapter 鹿小瑶 Doesn't Understand

Lu Xiaoyao couldn't figure it out no matter how long she thought about how she got scammed after buying a box lunch.

She couldn't accept it! QwQ!

Lou Jia, on the other hand, recovered faster than Lu Xiaoyao. He organized his thoughts and asked the fake meal NPC, who was still kneeling on the ground, "The box lunch you sold us... is it counterfeit?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Mingmei, who was standing at the door with a bright expression. He looked back and forth between the two for a long time, and finally Lou Jia sighed in resignation.

If the other party hadn't said she was selling maocai, he wouldn't have recognized her.

He felt like he had a nightmare _(:з」∠)_

Not only were his credits swindled in the dream, but he was also wrongly guided into playing a mind-numbing game orz.

"It's not really... it's just that I saw that the sister selling box lunches was doing good business, so I thought I'd imitate her!"

After saying that, the fake meal NPC took a few more glances at Mingmei. Seeing that Mingmei's expression was normal, she unintentionally said something that made Lu Xiaoyao and Lou Jia even more depressed.

"Actually, the taste of my box lunches is also very good, fresh, fragrant, spicy, and unforgettable after eating. Apart from providing false information, my box lunches really have no shortcomings!"

Lou Jia: Sa Beining needs oxygen.jpg

Mingmei: "..."

Good heavens!

This one shortcoming is really fatal!

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xiaoyao, who had just come back to her senses, couldn't help but clutch her heart again.

Why did she have to hear such shocking words one after another?

"What's wrong?"

Li Yuan was startled by Lu Xiaoyao's suddenly pale face.

"My heart aches for my... (She's heartbroken for her credits)"

Mu Chen spoke almost at the same time as Lu Xiaoyao.

He said all the words that Lu Xiaoyao couldn't bear to say.

Hearing the words "credits," Lu Xiaoyao looked like she was about to spit out her soul, indicating that she really couldn't take it anymore.

"So, there's really more than one culprit in this game?"

Because he knew that the box lunch he received didn't provide true information, Lou Jia quickly confirmed that this game didn't seem as simple as it appeared on the surface.

The false information they received—there is only one culprit in this game.

Then, working backward, it can be concluded that there is more than one culprit in this game.

"Huh?"

Lu Xiaoyao looked up blankly after hearing Lou Jia's assertion, and blurted out without thinking, "So, is Charlie the culprit?"

"Yes, but there may be another one."

At this time, Mu Chen suddenly spoke again.

His gaze swept over Li Yuan and Lu Xiaoyao. Even though he hadn't been looking at people for long, Lu Xiaoyao understood what Mu Chen meant when he looked at her just now.

"Then it's you?"

Subconsciously excluding Mu Chen, and adding the fact that she was sure she wasn't the culprit, Lu Xiaoyao directly pointed the finger at Li Yuan.

"What are you talking about?"

Although Li Yuan didn't show it on his face when Lu Xiaoyao suddenly identified him, his heart still jumped.

However, that wasn't the only thing that made Li Yuan's heart beat faster.

Perhaps it was because she was deceived by her box lunch and lost two points, but Lu Xiaoyao actually took the opportunity to vent a little by only targeting Li Yuan.

She stared at Li Yuan with bright eyes and questioned loudly, "Just now on the garden balcony, by the window latch, do you remember what you said?"

"What?"

"You said, 'This window is like this. It usually looks tightly closed, but if the latch isn't fastened, it can easily become loose due to external forces.' Why would you know something that even I, who regularly clean exterior windows, don't know?"

"Some people are just naturally observant and know these things. Is there anything wrong with that? I live on the 24th floor and often sit in the sky garden. Plus, I'm naturally observant, so it's normal to notice this."

Li Yuan didn't panic in the face of Lu Xiaoyao's questioning. "It's just that you, as someone who does high-altitude cleaning, don't know this at all. Aren't you too unaware of your own safety? You, as someone who can afford to buy an apartment here, still have to do high-altitude cleaning?"

Li Yuan didn't want to be outdone and threw the question back at Lu Xiaoyao.

"I... my job... is to commemorate my dead husband! He used to do this, and he died in an accident. There was a generous pension that was more than enough to buy a house here. What's wrong with me doing my husband's old job to commemorate him when I have nothing else to do?"

Lu Xiaoyao's answer was unreasonable but confident, making everyone's mouths twitch.

"Your husband died because of this accident, and you continue to do this job... are you rushing to die?"

Lou Jia's words were really unpleasant to hear, and Lu Xiaoyao directly responded with "It's none of your business!" to end the conversation.

Lu Xiaoyao really couldn't explain it herself. From her experience and the way she thought about problems, she couldn't understand what this character was doing!

In the end, Lu Xiaoyao thought about her mother again and directly said, "Indeed, if that's really what you think, why not just die sooner and get it over with?"

Everyone: ???

Mingmei immediately realized that Lu Xiaoyao was probably thinking about her love-crazed, recklessly suicidal mother again.

Well, although the other party eventually committed suicide in despair, she didn't receive forgiveness from anyone alive, but instead brought more shadows to the living. This stimulated Lu Xiaoyao after reading all the information about her character.

In her opinion, this woman named Lu Renjia must have loved her dead husband very much, right?

"Did your husband die here in an accident before?"

Mu Chen really just throws bombs every time he speaks in this game. The content of every sentence is substantial. Now, he continued, "This building had an accident before it was completed, a high-altitude cleaner... At that time, the group gave a very generous pension."

Mu Chen said, emphasizing that it was twice as high as the market price.

"Just enough to buy an apartment here."

"Although you received so much money, you want to avenge your husband, right?" Li Yuan immediately associated what Mu Chen said with Lu Xiaoyao's previous actions. Even Lou Jia thoughtfully said, "In that case, it's still possible that you threw the flower pot."

"How is that possible?!" Being suddenly suspected by her teammate, who was originally on the same side, Lu Xiaoyao was really angry and immediately asked, "It's so high, how could I aim accurately? If I miss, wouldn't it be a joke?!"

"You don't need to aim accurately. You just need to get the seating chart for the ribbon-cutting rehearsal in advance, calculate it, and then drop the flower pot at the right position at the right time."

At this time, Mu Chen spoke again, took out a drawing from his pocket, and said in front of everyone, "This is what I found in the corner of the sofa while searching Lu Xiaoyao's house earlier."

Mingmei, who had been following Mu Chen the whole time: ???
