Chapter 25 Puppet Town (8)
Several people looked at Bai Shu with disgust and disgust, and a lot of resentment grew in his heart.

Obviously I'm just searching for clues, isn't it just a copy of the game?Why do they have to be so serious?
Bai Shu gritted his teeth and exploded under Cuo Yue's questioning: "You are noble, but you still have to pretend to be noble in a place like this!"

"What's the use of bullshit?"

"This is a game to find the murderer, not a child's play house!"

"I was just looking for clues. What happened if I messed up the search?"

In the silence, Shu Li said: "Even if children are playing house, there are rules."

"Everyone has their own way of collecting evidence, I understand."

"But you made this place like this just to collect evidence?"

"Then what do you want? Force me to death?" Bai Shu shouted at her.

Shu Li thought of a lot of things to say in reply at this moment, but she opened her mouth and kept them in her stomach.

Opening the mall, Shu Li exchanged the prop book Huarong said and put it on the table.

"Forget it, there's no point in arguing. Let's find the murderer as soon as possible and go our separate ways."

After saying that, Shu Li sat down aside and went to look at her timeline.

Under the gaze of others, Bai Shu reluctantly signed his name.

Cuo Yue, the owner of the jewelry shop, was the first to speak: "The day before the ceremony, I overheard Zuo Si saying that he had found a puppet and wanted to impress everyone on the day of the ceremony."

"For some reasons, I also needed the puppet very much. I went to him that night to ask about the whereabouts of the puppet, but Zuo Si refused to tell me."

"On the day of the ceremony, I have been following Zuo Si since the morning, with the purpose of taking away the puppet when it was taken out."

"At Shenshi, I was pulled over by the townspeople because of the jewelry, and I lost Zuo Si. I haven't seen him since then, until his body was discovered this morning."

After he finished speaking, Huarong asked: "Is the reason why you need puppets related to your identity?"

She added: "You are the heir to the Fengyue Clan, and the wishing puppet is your long-lost treasure, right?"

With the prop book in front of him, Cuoyue answered honestly: "Yes."

"The treasure has been lost for a long time, and the Fengyue clan has failed to make another one despite all its efforts. In my generation, I must find the treasure to protect my family."

"But didn't you make more than a dozen pieces of jewelry using secret methods? Who gave them to you? How was the effect?"

Cuoyue smiled slyly: "I don't know who it was sold to. It may have nothing to do with it, or there may be no corresponding clues to unlock it."

"However, those jewelry can also make wishes, but they didn't succeed."

The second person to speak was Lin Meiren.

"My motivation was to be harassed."

"Everyone in the town knows that Zuo Si always comes to my shop to harass me. He doesn't talk dirty and often asks me to borrow money under various names."

"Three days before the festival, I unexpectedly learned that Boss Shu of the hotel had obtained a book about various spells, which recorded ways to erase people's memories."

"So, after Zuo Si harassed me again the day before yesterday, I used that spell."

"On the day of the sacrifice, I didn't see Zuo Si all day long. I thought my spell was successful. Until I saw his body this morning."

"We found a blood letter in your dressing table. Who was it addressed to?" He Jian asked as he spread the paper on the table.

Lin Meiren sighed: "This is my hidden mission. I don't need to tell you about my hidden identity..."

Although she said this, Lin Meiren still answered directly without waiting for others to express their opinions.

"I was born into a wealthy businessman's family. My parents died young a few years ago. Because I was the only daughter, the family property was taken over by my relatives and I was kicked out." "The radical words about revenge and so on are written down. Remind me of myself.”

Lin Meiren's expression was a little sad, probably because she had not yet recovered from the conflict just now.

"Then let me tell you my story." He Jian did not continue asking.
"?" Lin Meiren was puzzled: "You brought out so many things, is this just one problem?"

"Although there are many, after sorting them out, they can be divided into two categories. One is about the spells you mentioned, which are mostly the things used. The other is related to your identity, and there is nothing suspicious about it."

He Jian explained, and then talked about his timeline.

"My motive is to protect Beauty Lin."

"When I was about to starve to death, it was Beauty Lin who gave me a bite to eat and took me in. After being together for several years, I have fallen in love with her."

"Watching Zuo Si harassing her again and again, I thought more than once that it would be fine if he died."

"The day before the ceremony, I once again drove away Zuo Si who came to harass Lin Meiren, and finally made the decision to kill him."

"On the day of the sacrifice, in the morning, I saw Cuo Yue following Zuo Si, so I went to do business in the shop first. It wasn't until night, when I saw Zuo Si staggering past my door alone, that I followed him up."

"I walked to a secluded place where no one was, and I knocked him unconscious and threw him into the river, trying to create the illusion that he had stumbled while drunk."

"But I didn't expect that the sound of falling into the water was so loud that it alerted the townspeople living nearby. I had to leave quickly until I heard the news of his death this morning."

"He was rescued by the townspeople." After hearing this, Shu Li, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.

"Well, so I didn't intend to hide anything. This was not the cause of his death."

"Didn't you turn back?"

"No, I couldn't sleep in the second half of the night, so I kept rushing to make Boss Shu's order."

He Jian: "Because I was distracted frequently, I broke the sword and stuffed it into the ashes of the fire when I went out in the morning."

Shu Li nodded and did not continue to ask.

Although there is speculation about the broken sword that He Jian killed the person first and then destroyed the murder weapon, this is unreasonable and untenable.

Others had no doubts, so Huarong began her story.

"My motives are similar to Lin Meiren's."

"At night on the day of the ceremony, I prepared a jar of wine that was heavily drugged. I wanted to wait for him to drink and then do it."

"Before I went out, Bai Shu came over. So I gave up the plan and went to the river with him."

"It was about Xu time when I returned to the shop and the jar of wine was gone."

Hua Rong paused and then said, "The person who stole the wine may be the murderer."

"You and the boss of Qianjin Bookstore have a good impression of each other, so we don't rule out the possibility that he may have lied to you."

Shu Li took over and shared the gossip she just heard.

Then, Shuli revealed her motives.

"My motive is that Zuo Si asks me endlessly for money, and always threatens me to keep myself low by claiming that I have robbed him of his wishes."

 There is one more chapter to be posted this afternoon.
