not in love

Chapter 102: Hide and Seek

"...Is that the man from this morning?"

The female singer frowned,

"They actually contacted us through the radio, are they not going to listen to our opinions at all?"

"It's more immersive, isn't it?"

Xu Ruqing made a commonplace appearance,

"Let's go, hurry up and find out what the game is today. If you support each other and trust each other like you, winning the game is much easier than finding the murderer."

After Xu Ruqing finished speaking, he turned his head and went downstairs first. It seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the male singer and Lu Youyou's trust in Yu Zhiyi.

"He really thinks of himself as a detective."

Lu Youyou pouted angrily.

"I went to other shows with him before. During the interview, he said that he likes to read books. When asked what books he likes, he said mystery novels,"

The male singer sighed, paused before continuing,

"A few days ago, I also saw that he found a few suspense novels in the study and went back to read them. It may be the world immersed in the books, and he will not come out for a while."

"There is a difference between fiction and reality."

Lu Youyou shook his head.

It just so happened that Lin Xie finished blowing his hair, and all the people went to the parlor together in groups.

Although no one said it, in fact, in the current situation, Lin Xie, an Alpha with a tall shoulder and a high pheromone level, will naturally give people a sense of security, so everyone began to prefer to act with him .

The long dining table in the living room was filled with steaming dishes, because they each ordered them according to their own tastes, and the styles of the dishes were very different.There are smoked salmon and avocado with orange cheese, and dry chao shou sprinkled with chili noodles, but these beautifully made dishes are placed in disposable insulated tin foil boxes that are convenient for transportation, making people feel like they are eating Prison food.

Yu Zhijuan opened the fish roe bibimbap he ordered, and saw a nest of golden and plump corn kernels hidden under the hot spring egg at a glance, and suddenly lost his appetite.

"Eat mine."

Lin Xieduan was too tired of the lunch box in front of him, so he exchanged his own for him.

Looking at the braised beef brisket covered in sauce in front of him, Yu Zhijuan blinked at Lin Xie gratefully,

"How did you know?"

"When we were filming together before, I asked you if you didn't like corn. At that time, you probably didn't know me well."

"But don't you also eat fish roe?"

Eyes down from tiredness,

"When I was ordering yesterday, I asked you if you wanted the same one, but you still shook your head in disgust."

"...I wanted to eat beef yesterday, but now I suddenly don't want to."

As Lin Xie spoke, he scooped up a spoonful of rice mixed with caviar and corn kernels, and chewed it carefully under Yu's tired gaze.

"It tastes good."

Yu Zhijuan saw that it wasn't like he hated corn that Lin Xie couldn't eat fish roe, so he accepted the stewed rice in exchange for it.

The atmosphere at lunch was not pleasant. Most of the time, everyone was talking in low voices with the people around them. Xu Ruqing, who was not popular, seemed particularly lonely. After all, no one wanted to listen to his conjectures with strong subjective prejudices. .

"How about we continue the investigation just now? Let's all talk about the timeline of last night."

In the end, Xu Ruqing still couldn't bear the feeling of being excluded, and shouted at the top of his voice,

"It's hard for everyone to sit together neatly. If you want to find the murderer, you can also use the elimination method. Let's cut in from the timeline first. According to what Yu Zhiyi just said, Mi Chen still had activities after seven o'clock, so Let’s focus on what you do after seven o’clock.”

"We didn't really get the script in our hands, how to sort out the timeline?"

The female singer put down the unfinished raspberry cream bagel and said worriedly,

"And not everyone has a good sense of time, Xu Ruqing, I really think we can't play this time as an ordinary script-killing game."

"Then at least everyone should talk about what they were doing last night?"

Xu Ruqing insisted,

"It would be best if we could find someone to prove their alibi to each other, and it would be convenient for us to rule it out."

"The proposition makes sense,"

The male singer nodded and agreed,

"Let me tell you first, I went to the gym last night after shopping. At first, I was the only one there. Later, when I went back to the room, I happened to meet Lu Youyou. It should be... after eight o'clock, right? I went back to my room to rest, and at ten o'clock Song Tiqing came to ask me to borrow a hair dryer."

"Yes, the hair dryer in my room is broken."

Song Tiqing nodded. Under the leadership of the male singer, everyone tried their best to recall their experience last night.

"Well, after listening to it, I think I can sum up a few doubts,"

Xu Ruqing began to summarize for everyone on his own initiative,

"First of all, Song Tiqing, you said that you were in the astrology room on the top floor before returning to your room to take a shower after nine o'clock. No one can prove it to you, and what are you doing alone? Then Lu Youyou, you went there after eight o'clock The gym stayed there until ten o'clock, and my room was not far from the gym, so I didn't seem to hear anything in the gym at that time."

"Xu Ruqing, are you finding fault?"

Song Tiqing saw that he was about to start doubting herself, so she jumped into a rage,

"I go to the star room every night. I need inspiration. Do you understand inspiration? But I don't expect parallel actors like you to understand the needs of our artists. After all, you don't know how to cultivate your own aura!"

"As long as you are an artist, don't you just know how to play the violin? I think that any child who is pulled out from the Children's Palace can play the same as you."

Xu Ruqing countered,

"And I just said it was suspicious, and I didn't suspect that you were the murderer. Why are you so angry? Are you guilty?"

"I'm guilty? You're so funny!"

Song Tiqing overturned the tableware in front of her, and was about to stand up and pull Xu Ruqing's collar, but was stopped by the male singer,

"Calm down, both of you! How can we find the murderer if you are so angry?"

"I'm very calm, it's because Song Tiqing has a ghost in her heart and is not so calm."

Xu Ruqing shrugged fearlessly, and Yu Zhijuan could vaguely see Chen Hao's shadow from his provocative face.Xu Ruqing regarded himself as Chen Hao's junior all day long, and his loudness and lack of beating were really passed down by Chen Hao.

"A few days ago, I saw Song Tiqing go to the astrology room,"

The male singer explained,

"One time I went to the top floor to hang my voice, and another time I went to see the snow. I did meet Song Tiqing in the astrology room."

"……Oh well,"

Xu Ruqing nodded,

"The doubts about Song Tiqing can be put aside for the time being, then the problem lies with Lu Youyou. In fact, I have suspected Lu Youyou for a long time."

Lu Youyou: "...Are you okay, brother? I think you are suspicious of everyone."

"No, it's not the same, I doubt you and I'm serious,"

Xu Ruqing pretended to be profound,

"The sound of the treadmill is so loud. I went to the bathroom after nine o'clock last night. When I passed by the gym, I saw the lights on, but I didn't hear any sound."

"I'm doing yoga,"

Lu Youyou laughed back angrily, did Xu Ruqing see that she always spoke up for Yu Zhiyi before, but now that Lin Xie was around, he didn't dare to make things difficult for Yu Zhiyi, so he pinched her like a persimmon?

"Besides, who stipulated that only treadmills can be used in the gym?"

"Anyway, I think you are very suspicious."

"Yuyou's suspicion should be the least, right?"

The female singer paused and analyzed,

"Mi Chen is a Beta with a height of 1.7 meters and keeps fit all year round. Yoyo is a head shorter than her and is an Omega. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to kill Mi Chen."

Except for Lu Youyou and Yu Zhijuan, who is an omega in name, all of them were alphas, that's why the female singer dared to exclude by gender.

"You mean that even Omega can be temporarily exonerated?"

"No, I just think that Yoyo doesn't have the ability to kill, but Teacher Yu... I'm analyzing it objectively, and I don't mean to target the teacher. Although an adult man like Teacher Yu is an Omega, his strength should be the same as that of Mi Chen. If there is not much difference, it cannot be ruled out."

"You can't say that,"

Xu Ruqing expressed disapproval,

"We're script killing, and we don't really need the murderer to do it. Maybe there is a mission card notifying him that he is the murderer? So it doesn't matter whether it's Omega or not."

"That said, I doubt you the most."

The female singer looked straight at Xu Ruqing,

"You said you were reading novels in your room last night, but no one has seen you except you met me when you went to the study to get a book. Who knows if you are really in the room?"

"You can go to my room and read it. I will take notes when I read mystery novels, or I can tell you the content of the novel. If I haven't read it, I must not know what it is about."

Xu Ruqing spoke calmly, as if he had already prepared how to answer when he was questioned.

"I'm also very concerned about one more thing. Are you a little too excited after the rules of the game are changed?"

"Please, I'm trying to lead everyone to deduce the murderer for everyone's benefit, okay?"

"But you may also be trying to divert trouble."

"That's right, you doubted Teacher Zhiyi at first, then you said that he was in league with Lin Xie, and now you suspect Song Tiqing and me. Rather than saying that you are trying to reason, I think you are more like muddy water."

Lu Youyou agreed.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think?"

The male singer couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw that they were about to quarrel again, so he could only look at Lin Xie who was at the side.

He didn't have many opportunities to get in touch with Lin Xie, but he could feel that Lin Xie was a calm and assertive person, and he would often become extremely reliable at such times.

"After today's game is over, go back to Mi Chen's room and search again,"

Lin Xie said lightly,

"Until now we haven't even figured out whether she drank the poison inadvertently or was forced to drink it."

"I think so too."

The male singer nodded.

Lin Xie's advice is very specific. If they can confirm that Mi Chen was force-drained with poison, then they can logically rule out Lu Youyou and alleviate Yu Zhiyi's suspicion. After all, there is a power gap between genders. , It is not an easy task to bring down Mi Chen.

"How did everyone discuss it?"

A male voice with a hissing noise sounded again on the radio. It was a very strange voice. Although it had not undergone any processing, when people could not see the speaker, they would find that the voice was unrecognizable. Word.

"The relaxed and happy time is always short. Now that everyone has finished their meal, let's start today's game."

The man's words were followed by a rising smile, but no one could hear any happy emotions.

"It's rare that the weather is sunny, and the program team specially arranged a game for everyone to move their bodies - have you played hide and seek when you were young?"

"..."

Everyone held their breaths and waited earnestly for the announcement of the rules. Now strange things are happening on the island, and the people who are easy to get along with are basically gone. No one wants to stay here for a second. Everyone wants to seize today's opportunity to escape Wyan Island.

"Today's game is hide and seek. The rules are very simple. I will randomly designate one person to be a ghost. The person who is caught by the ghost will become the next ghost. The game lasts for three hours. When the game is over, the person who has the least time to be a ghost win."

"Now, I will randomly select a guest as the first 'ghost' of the day."

The man's voice reverberated throughout the villa through the radio speakers installed around. The first person to be designated as a ghost was already in a disadvantaged position to some extent, and everyone was meditating in their hearts not to designate themselves.

"Then, let Yu Zhiyi and Teacher Yu be the first to be ghosts. The rest of the players have 3 minutes to hide, and the range is not limited. Now, please put on the blindfold and wait alone in the living room for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, the game officially begins." start."
