There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Chapter 721: Chapter 618 Walking into the Trap

After identifying the suspect, the next step was to find out if that person was still in the bar.

Normally, a smart person would choose to stay in the bar to absolve themselves of suspicion and take the opportunity to pin the blame on someone else.

But an even smarter person would choose to take off immediately.

Only a fool would stay!

Under the cover of night, a nimble figure darted through the alleyways, quickly putting distance between herself and the Fragrant Residence Bar.

She had already attacked Mr. Lei twice, and unless he was foolish or lacked clues, he would likely screen his former girlfriends for suspects.

...

And because of the unique traits of her body, she couldn’t hide when the time came.

If she were still at the bar at this point, it would clearly be walking right into a trap!

Dammit, this character is really too hard to play!

The woman thought bitterly to herself as she ran, and at that moment, her movement suddenly paused, but due to the momentum, she couldn’t stop her forward motion.

Thud!

She crashed into an invisible wall.

Realizing what had happened, the woman touched the air wall in front of her, then frantically looked behind her.

Though she was already far from the Fragrant Residence Bar, having run at least ten kilometers, she still felt unsafe.

However, it seemed like the script was only to play out within the confines of Luona District.

Wasn’t that just being trapped in someone else’s domain?!

Damn it! This role is really too difficult!

The furious woman punched the air wall and stood in the alleyway, her expression shifting uncertainly. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she turned and ran back the way she came.

…

Fragrant Residence Bar.

Customers with their heads in their hands crouched in the corner.

But compared to the initial hundreds and later dozens, now there were only about twenty people left who hadn’t managed to escape in time.

The first to leave after the death were the luckiest patrons, later Xu Shuo released several hundred people, and subsequently, chaos erupted, and many others took the chance to flee.

The unfortunate soul disguised as a bartender, Ma Xiusi, was no longer in the bar.

Even fewer women were left.

Xu Shuo looked around and, not finding the person he remembered, shook his head at Mr. Lei and said, “She must have run off.”

Hearing this, Mr. Lei let out a wail.

Xu Shuo then added to his despair, “And the bar’s surveillance cameras were destroyed, so it’s not possible to review the situation at that time. It’s going to be a bit difficult to obtain evidence and pinpoint the person.”

Mr. Lei continued to wail, “Ah~”

Xu Shuo twisted the knife further, “Besides, even if you catch her, what then? You have no evidence to prove she poisoned you to kill you.”

Mr. Lei: “…”

Mr. Lei’s gaze towards him started to shift.

This guy wasn’t here to help at all; he came specifically to crush his confidence, didn’t he?

Actually, there was another way to simply charge that woman with the crime: find out who the waiter who served the drink was.

But because the lighting in the bar was too dim at the time, it was impossible to clearly see the waiter’s face, so even if the waiter came forward to testify, it would only be considered unfounded evidence.

In other words.

The evidence had to come from himself.

The woman had executed her deed too cleanly.

If it was indeed the ex-girlfriend Mr. Lei had dumped who was behind this, she must have planned to kill Mr. Lei long ago but had patiently waited until today, exploiting the cover of the Jenny incident to make her move.

In reality, it was unknown whether that woman was apprehended, but in the script, the players were definitely facing difficulties.

Mr. Lei also fell silent.

After a while, he squinted slightly and said, “I don’t need to convict her. I just need to confirm that she might be the one wanting to kill me; that’s enough, just to catch her.”

Xu Shuo’s gaze shifted slightly as he looked at him.

This meant, regardless of whether there was evidence to prove the woman was the murderer, he was planning to bet on submitting the main mission.

In other words, a submission-type mission.

Xu Shuo’s own mission was also submission-based.

However, he planned to play it safe and earn a bit more performance value by continuing to question the masked person about the method of the crime.

One could say Mr. Lei was somewhat daring.

If he bet wrong, he would either enter a punishment game or head to the Abyss Battlefield.

Mr. Lei had clearly considered this, so he suddenly took on a tragic look and said to Xu Shuo, “Bro, whether I live or die is all up to you now!”

“It’s none of my business.”

Xu Shuo was not about to warm up to his imposition.

After delegating the task of investigating the woman’s identity to his deputy, Xu Shuo didn’t bother with the matter further. He contacted the First Intermediate Court and instructed them to prepare for a trial the next morning.

A performance had to be complete in every aspect.

Only then would it qualify as a complete show.

Mr. Lei looked on, his mouth twitching as he said, “You’re not really planning to stay until tomorrow morning, are you? I remember a saying, ‘Delay brings risks’.”

Xu Shuo casually replied, “I also remember a saying, ‘No way to escape even with wings’.”

When he had used the Alpha Character Card, he had opened the Mind Network and saw that the entire script was confined to the Luona District; Xu Shuo couldn’t detect anything beyond it.

That meant…

No matter how the target ran, they couldn’t get far, and besides, Xu Shuo still had plenty of cards unplayed. He truly wasn’t worried.

Since he was only in this script to make up the numbers, there was no need to be so tense about it.

Seeing his confidence, Mr. Lei pursed his lips and said no more.

…

While waiting for his deputy to bring over the details on that woman, Xu Shuo, having nothing better to do, decided to check on the bartender’s condition in the bar’s office.
