Chapter 736: Chapter 736: Do You Like the Tomorrow’s Inn?
The detective gathered everyone in the dining room, scolding and interrogating them one by one.
In the end, no conclusions were drawn and everyone gradually returned to their rooms.
As for the paper in the dining room, those who could understand it naturally understood, and those who couldn’t have pretended they never saw it.
Bai Youwei and Zhu Shu stayed in the living room, sitting opposite the detective and the doctor, killing time and listening to these two NPCs chat aimlessly.
According to Bai Youwei’s wishes, Zhu Shu should stay by the detective’s side as much as possible from now on to avoid being framed in case another murder happens.
Zhu Shu understood, but there was one thing she couldn’t figure out.
In the morning, a woman from room 405 was found dead in Lu Yuwen’s room. Given the rule that only one person dies per day, would anything really happen today?
Bai Youwei said: “Don’t forget that when the woman with the tarot cards entered, according to Lu Yuwen, she was already dead.”
Bai Youwei winked at Zhu Shu and whispered, “Who knows if she died today, or yesterday…”
“You mean…last night?” Zhu Shu thought for a moment. “Actually, I did hear some noise outside the door last night.”
“No, it probably wasn’t last night.” Bai Youwei said, “It might have been earlier.”
“Earlier means…” Zhu Shu furrowed her brows, deep in thought.
If it was even earlier, could it have been…at that time?
She found it hard to believe and looked at Bai Youwei in surprise.
Bai Youwei nodded: “That’s right, just as you thought, it was when the kitchen caught fire.”
At that time, almost all the guests had run downstairs, but had the woman with the tarot cards ever come down? Now that she thought about it, she couldn’t remember.
No one saw her.
Ever since breakfast, that woman had stayed in her room and hadn’t come out.
“Who could have done it?” Zhu Shu’s heart pounded as she murmured, “Could it be that man?…Room 404, the one called Carl?”
“His room and the middle-aged woman’s room are the closest to the corridor, making him the ideal candidate. As for how…” Bai Youwei glanced towards the staircase direction and smiled faintly, “He had access to a certain anesthetic which made it possible to do things silently. Then, pretend to be flustered and run downstairs. I remember… he seemed to be the last one down, right?”
Zhu Shu nodded: “Yes, he was the last.”
“The teamwork of this bunch is rather good. It’s just a shame that they met a more formidable opponent.” Bai Youwei couldn’t help but revel in their misfortune. “I’m really looking forward to it… I wonder if Robert will be able to counterattack successfully?”
Thinking about what might happen next made her extremely cheerful. Seeing Zhu Shu looking at her, she asked, “What is it?”
Zhu Shu hesitated, “Weiwei… don’t you think the game is…fun?”
Bai Youwei was taken aback.
Was it fun?
A teammate had been captured, their safety uncertain, two players were already dead, and who knows who will be next; all were fearful. Under such circumstances…could it still be considered fun?
Bai Youwei fell silent for a while, then explained, “No, I was just thinking… when two quarrel, a third profits. The more intensely they fight, the greater our chances of victory, so I felt a bit joyful earlier.”
“I see.” Zhu Shu nodded, “That makes sense, you always know what to do.”
Bai Youwei gave a faint smile.
After a moment of silence, having a nagging doubt, Bai Youwei cautiously asked Zhu Shu, “Do you think… the average person would find the game fun?”
Zhu Shu thought for a moment, then answered in a soft voice: “Maybe… but those who enjoy the game must be very powerful people.”
Zhu Shed smiled at Bai Youwei and self-deprecatingly said, “As for someone like me, who is destined to be trampled on in the game, it’s certainly not enjoyable, is it?”
