Everyone spent the whole day in the tense atmosphere of searching for the murderer. The time was shortened to two days, which meant that the game would end after tomorrow.
At night, I didn't return to my bedroom. Instead, I went outside the house and looked at the starry sky. I silently smoked. This kind of scenery couldn't be seen in the city. Now, the slightly larger cities were all cities that never slept. Whether it was the weather or the night, they were filled with light. Therefore, there was no chance for the stars to shine.
However, these abandoned stars could be seen clearly from this isolated island. I suddenly thought of myself. In the big city, he was just an unknown low-class worker. However, on this isolated island, he became the focus of everyone's eyes. He helped them find the murderer and pointed them in the right direction. This was something I never expected. It wasn't just me. Some of the others had also thrown away all sorts of restrictions upon coming here and were like fish in water. There were even some who expressed their love for each other due to their fear of death, and thus became partners.
"In a sense, this island master has given us many things that we can't get. "If the murderer is smarter and destroys the corpse after killing, we won't be able to trigger the game. This is because the disappearance of a person doesn't mean death. Even if the person never appears, it doesn't mean that he's dead. It only means that he's gone. Through this method, we can obtain enough wealth without going to trial or implicating everyone to die.
However, if he did this too many times, his heart would gradually become distorted. In a sense, this kind of person was no different from dying.
"Haoxuan." At this moment, a voice called out to me from behind. I turned around and saw that it was Xia Mengting.
"I didn't scare you during the day, right? I lost my composure a little.”I was disappointed. After what happened during the day, Xia Mengting should be very disappointed in me.
"No, everyone will have such a time. You've already done enough. Moreover, you don't have the obligation to apologize to everyone. You don't owe anyone anything.”Xia Mengting's comforting words made me feel much better. However, I still felt a little guilty when faced with everyone's trust in me. I was very afraid that once I couldn't find the murderer, would this trust collapse? Would Xia Mengting be disappointed in me and never speak to me again?
I don't know if Xia Mengting saw my concerns, so she walked in front of me and looked straight at me. I've never seen Xia Mengting at such a close distance before, so I'm a little dazed.
"Haoxuan, I believe you, not because you found the murderer, nor because you're smart, but because I trust you. You don't have to worry about anything else. I believe that the others treat you the same way, especially your brothers.”
I didn't expect Xia Mengting to trust me so much. Her words seemed to fill my body with strength.
"I will definitely find the murderer and avenge Li Manrou.”Seeing my determined expression, Xia Mengting nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.
Looking at Xia Mengting's graceful back, I suddenly felt like I was in a dream. Was Xia Mengting here to comfort me? Could it be that she also had a good impression of me? I shook my head. Maybe she was just a little upset and came out for a walk to see me. I patted my face and pulled myself together. I returned to my bedroom and lay on the bed, thinking about all kinds of suspicious points about Li Manrou.
Speaking of which, Li Manrou's death made me very puzzled. Li Manrou died in her own bedroom, and I had long advised everyone not to open the door after 11 pm, no matter who came. Moreover, this door was a security door, and the soundproofing of the room wasn't very good. If they broke in, the people in the other rooms would definitely be able to hear it. However, during the day, no one mentioned it. Moreover, if they broke in... The door should have been broken, but when I opened the door, the lock was clearly good. Moreover, I didn't see any other obvious signs of a fight in the room. Also, why was Li Manrou so surprised? What did she see before she died?
All parts of the house were sealed, and there was no way in from other places. The only exit of the entire house was the main door, and the vent could not allow an adult to pass through. "Moreover, I've also observed that there are no other signs of destruction in Li Manrou's room.
This seemed to have become a murder case in a secret room. Li Manrou obviously didn't commit suicide, and she had no reason to commit suicide. Yesterday, she even made me supper and chatted with me. It was impossible for her to commit suicide when she went back. Moreover, the door was still open.
"Someone must have done something to Li Manrou. However, I don't know what method the murderer used, but there's one thing that can be investigated again. The murderer must have bloodstained clothes.
There's no doubt that Li Manrou died with a knife. Perhaps the murderer used his hand to hold Li Manrou's neck when he killed her, which caused the strangulation marks on Li Manrou's neck and made her unable to make a sound. I can even be sure that the murderer was wearing a mask or covered his face with something because I saw some rags under Li Manrou's fingernails. Li Manrou must have pulled off the murderer's mask during her struggle, which was why she looked so surprised.
As for why the murderer covered his face in front of Li Manrou, who was about to be killed, one possibility was that he was afraid of being discovered on the way to escape. The other possibility was that the murderer was someone Li Manrou knew, or someone close to Li Manrou. This made sense. Why did Li Manrou show such a surprised expression? Perhaps it was because Li Manrou especially trusted someone, so Li Manrou opened the door for that person.
Other than Lin Lin, there were a few other girls who were close to Li Manrou. These people were obviously the most suspicious, so Lin Lin couldn't be ruled out. Although Lin Lin's reaction was especially strong after she found out that Li Manrou was dead yesterday, she couldn't be ruled out. After all, if the murderer could even kill someone, how could he not know how to act?
" That's why, ever since we came to this island, our rationality, trust, and bottom line have all been gradually lost. Even if we don't want to admit it, how can I not be the same? Other than the few people around me, I couldn't have absolute trust in anyone else. Because in order to survive, no one could care about those things. Li Kui's death was the best example.
Tomorrow was the last day of the game.
