Everyone's eyes moved back and forth between Jiang Mingyan and Du Wei, and the air froze in an instant.

"Don't be impulsive!"

Yang Biao couldn't help but shout out,

"We are now in this strange place, full of dangers. We should support each other!"

"Didn't Master Zhou just say that the most dangerous thing right now is this well that's emitting black smoke!"

Shen Meihua said seriously behind him: "Everyone calm down..."

Du Wei's face turned pale and red. Although the gun in his hand was still pointed at everyone, his arm began to tremble slightly.

He glared at Jiang Mingyan fiercely and shouted,

"You are such a fool, don't think you can intimidate me with a gun!"

Jiang Mingyan remained unmoved, the muzzle of the gun was pointed steadily at Du Wei, his tone remained calm,

"Sir, put down your gun and let's talk."

"Maybe we can find a way out of this dilemma. We are in the same boat now, aren't we?"

"Whoever is on the same boat with you might be one of you working together to do something terrible!" Du Wei sneered disdainfully.

"This lousy Taoist priest and this woman must be the ones causing trouble. If any of you are in cahoots with them, please come forward and don't force me to question you one by one!"

Du Wei looked at the people around him, especially Su Yi and the detective, Jiang Mingyan.

"Calm down, calm down, I swear, this is really the first time we come here..." Yang Biao took a breath, as if he didn't want to make the atmosphere so tense.

"My name is Yang Biao, and I'm a medicinal herb merchant. I have a caravan outside. This is my friend's daughter, Shen Meihua, a student majoring in folklore at Yangcheng University. She followed me here to collect folk songs this time."

In front of everyone, he introduced himself and Shen Meihua again.

Zhou Qizheng spat.

"Are you suffering from paranoia? If so many of us wanted to harm you, how could you be the one showing off here?"

Huang Jing pushed Zhou Qizhen and said, "Brother, please say less..."

"Who knows what tricks you have up your sleeve? The sound from the well, I'm afraid someone is lying down in the well to scare us on purpose! You come out later to trick us!"

"You really want to get away with this little trick of yours in front of me? Let me tell you, I, Uncle Du Wei, have traveled all over the country and seen everything!"

"Oh, I really want you to see it now!" Zhou Qizhen was not angry when he heard this, but laughed out loud.

"Okay, sir, put the gun back. Let's check together to see if it's a fraud. First of all, please understand that we don't need troublemakers." Jiang Mingyan's words were light, but contained a threat.

Everyone looked at him because of his words.

Undoubtedly, this sentence is very powerful.

It seems to be saying,

If you interfere with the game, then there is no need for you to exist.

Because what you are doing now is the same as the bad guy who is hindering the progress of the game.

Whether they are enemies or friends, they are all treated as aliens and villains in the game.

This is undoubtedly a naked threat, and it can even be said to be the intervention of off-field factors.

This sentence is not only said to Du Wei, but also conveys a message to everyone.

Although Su Yi was not sure whether these people were aware of the rule that "there is a traitor among the 8 people", he knew very well that everyone must have experienced many games.

For this kind of game scenario with 8 people gathered together, if it is not clearly stated that it is a cooperative mode, everyone will naturally remain somewhat vigilant, which is a very normal reaction.

Jiang Mingyan's blunt words were tantamount to defining Du Wei as the traitor.

If Du Wei didn't stop, the consequences would probably be more than just the bullet.

He will face the situation of losing everyone's trust, which is obviously extremely disadvantageous for Du Wei.

After all, in a gaming environment like this, trust is crucial.

Jiang Mingyan's move was really brilliant. He cleverly took advantage of everyone's psychology and put Du Wei in a very embarrassing situation.

His bullet did not come from a pistol, but through the power of language, it quickly hit Du Wei's vital point.

This is a verbal bullet.

By leveraging the power of everyone, we can suppress Du Wei who is stirring up trouble.

Whether it was Jiang Mingyan's character setting or his spontaneous actions, Su Yi became wary of him.

This person is definitely not simple!

of course,

While remaining alert, Su Yi was also quickly absorbing information from his surroundings.

Du Wei calls himself Du Wei here, so the probability that the others are using their real names should be quite high.

Just as Su Yi was thinking, the whole scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence again.

however,

Jiang Mingyan seemed to not care about what he had just said. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

Then, with an extremely natural and calm movement, he put the gun in his hand into his coat pocket.

"Sir, we don't have to be enemies, do we?"

Jiang Mingyan's voice was calm and gentle, but it revealed a confidence and control that could not be ignored.

Su Yi secretly praised in his heart,

This person does have some tricks.

He was threatening the other party just now, but in the blink of an eye he decisively gave up his advantage, making the tense situation instantly calm and also giving Du Wei a way out.

This effortless way of dealing with things seemed as if he had already firmly grasped the entire situation in his hands.

Du Wei was obviously a little hesitant about Jiang Mingyan's actions. He hesitated for a moment, and finally snorted coldly and slowly put down the gun in his hand.

but,

It can be seen from his eyes that his vigilance towards Jiang Mingyan has not diminished in the slightest.

"Since you said you are a detective, let me hear what you have to say." Although Du Wei's tone was a little reluctant, he still gave Jiang Mingyan a chance to speak.

As expected...Du Wei had only one choice.

compromise,

Su Yi nodded secretly.

Jiang Mingyan said at this time,

"I just passed by this place and threw a stone into the well."

"This well is definitely not a dry well. The water even covers half of the well wall. You can tell if you try it."

"So, what you just said about hiding someone at the bottom of the well is not feasible. Even if there is a clever tool, it cannot be done in the short time just now."

"You are still a detective? Do you believe the Taoist's weird words?" Du Wei said sarcastically.

"It's not that I want to believe it, but sometimes the truth is far more complicated than people imagine." Jiang Mingyan walked in front of Zhou Qizhen and asked,

"Master Zhou, you said earlier that there is a way to decipher the ballad, so why don't you give it a try now?"

"It's no use trying."

Zhou Qi was hanging his head, speaking weakly, his face full of dejection.

"The situation is already decided... Let's find a place to sleep as soon as possible, maybe we can relax and avoid the pain."
