Wanqi Siling
Chapter 294 Are You Finished Eating?
It couldn't tell for a moment whether its host was trying to trick it or whether its host had really guessed the truth through its performance.
Was it really that easy to see through?
"Wow~ You hesitated for so long? It seems I was right, Guigui, are you feeling down?"
Guigui: [Leave me alone, or I won't write my心得(xin de, personal insights) for you!]
Guigui, throwing caution to the wind, didn't want to talk to Mingmei anymore. It would rather write its心得(xin de, personal insights). Writing them would allow it to go to the main brain and improve itself!
It vowed that next time it came back, it would be Niu Hulu·Guigui!!
Mingmei: "..."
Watching Guigui, the only one who could chat with her, disappear again, Mingmei smiled and didn't say anything. However, she had already gotten the answer she wanted, so she let it go.
Lu Xiaoyao and the others couldn't immediately stand up and identify the culprits, so they simply started collecting evidence in the carriage. After all, it was dark now, and there were two murderers among the players, so they weren't very willing to go out and risk their lives.
The remaining players split up into small groups in the carriage and searched the surrounding rooms and the teachers' rooms again. They didn't know what they would find until they searched, and the search only made them more confused.
"Wait, is this poison?"
Madison took out a small bag of dark purple powder from the single room of the eliminated Ai Qisi. When everyone heard the commotion and gathered around, the game system automatically displayed a note about the poison.
"The teacher's cup had poison, but wasn't it supposed to be colorless and odorless? This..."
The others looked at the poison, which was the wrong color. Mu Chen went directly to the tea room, poured a glass of water, and asked Madison to pour the powder into it to try.
However, unexpectedly, the powder turned colorless and transparent as soon as it was put into the water.
"But, wasn't Senior Sister proven by Ba She to not be an accomplice of the evil spirits? How could this poison be here?"
Qi Hai Kui was also confused as she watched from the side.
"It's possible that this powder doesn't belong to her and someone is just framing her."
After Mu Ning finished speaking, her eyes kept looking towards Lu Xiaoyao's side, which made Lu Xiaoyao's head spin.
"That's right, after all, Senior Sister's room is a single room, and no one saw it. There are plenty of opportunities to do it~" In this train's resting carriage, four girls and four boys were in two double rooms and two single rooms.
Lu Xiaoyao and Wang Wenfei were originally in the double room. Lu Xiaoyao emphasized the single room again, so who wouldn't understand?
At least Mingmei understood that she was saying that Mu Ning, who lived in the single room, could do this more secretly and easily.
Sure enough, Mu Ning also understood and glared at Lu Xiaoyao with fire in her eyes. This murderer was not simple!
The worst thing was that Mu Ning didn't know which of the four boys present was Lu Xiaoyao's teammate!
She felt bitter!
"This poison might have been discovered by Ai Qisi herself."
Mu Chen, who hadn't been speaking all along, seemed to be giving everyone a critical blow every time he spoke.
"If Ai Qisi discovered something outside and brought it back, it's hard to say. Maybe when the murderers were planning to poison the teacher at noon, this bag of poison happened to be left outside, and Ai Qisi happened to find it and brought it back.
After that, she discovered that if she took this thing out, it would cause her a lot of trouble, so it's possible that she didn't say anything."
When Mu Chen said this, his eyes fell on Lu Xiaoyao and said, "I remember you came out during lunch break at noon."
Lu Xiaoyao was suspicious when Mu Chen suddenly mentioned her so meaningfully, and she raised her head to look at Mu Chen. "Big Brother, do you suspect me too?"
"No." Mu Chen replied coldly, "I'm just providing an idea and some information that I know, and letting everyone make their own deductions and guesses, what?"
Mu Chen's eyes stared straight at Lu Xiaoyao. "Is it that if someone doesn't think along with your context, you think they suspect you?"
At this moment, Mu Chen suddenly mentioned the word "you," which made someone's heart skip a beat!
"I..."
Before Lu Xiaoyao could say anything, she heard Mu Chen scoff disdainfully. He looked at the other three boys and asked, "Do you think there's anything wrong with what I said?"
Qi Hai Kui's eyes also lingered on Lu Xiaoyao for a moment, and she silently shook her head, having no objection to what Mu Chen said.
"Indeed, Mu Chen's words make sense. Maybe it wasn't Ai Qisi herself, but someone later planned to frame her, or she herself discovered something and brought it back, which is all possible."
Zhu Lian also said that Mu Chen's hypothesis was nothing, and Madison, who first discovered the poison, looked at Lu Xiaoyao, Mu Chen, and Mu Ning with very strange eyes.
She simply didn't believe any of the three of them.
"After saying so much, there's no result to prove anything..."
He muttered and poured the bag of poison directly into the sewer in front of everyone. This was originally agreed upon by everyone, but Mu Ning asked to keep the packaging.
There wasn't much of interest in everyone's rooms, but the teacher's room was worth their checking and searching for information in batches.
"The only sign of struggle is the fallen water cup. It seems that no one was in the room when the teacher was poisoned, otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as pushing over the water cup."
"In other words, the murderer later came in to confirm the teacher's death, and then planned to jump out of the train but found that the window couldn't be opened, and even the instruments to seal the evil spirits couldn't be thrown out. So they could only destroy the seal and throw out the spirit stones fed to Ba She to buy time."
"Didn't everyone say this at noon? Why are you saying it again?"
After checking around, everyone said the same conclusions and speculations as at noon, and for a moment, they didn't want to accept that they seemed to have been busy for nothing all night.
The only poison was found in the room of a player who had been eliminated and proven not to be the murderer.
Was there any need to investigate further?
"Although the conclusion is the same, we have the box lunch. Although this seal cannot be completely restored, it has already bought a lot of time, hasn't it?" Mu Chen said, looking at everyone and asking, "Everyone, did you all finish both box lunches?"
"Of course, we finished them."
Almost all the players who bought the box lunches answered this question without thinking. Mu Chen asked again, "Who can prove it? Wang Wenfei and I both finished both boxes and left. The mysterious merchant can prove it, what about you?"
Seeing that Mu Chen had cued her, Mingmei smiled. Although the players might not really run over to verify, she began to recall which people who bought the box lunches had taken them away in front of her eyes without eating them immediately.
After thinking about it, Mingmei discovered that Zhu Lian, Qi Hai Kui, and Mu Ning had all left after buying them, instead of eating the box lunches in front of her eyes. This was interesting.
