Chapter 139: Madam Liu

The noisy venue suddenly quieted down a lot, and the residents swarmed out. Only Si Shi and five players remained in the venue.

He took several people to the public chessboard table downstairs in Building 2, waved his hands to drive away the old men who were still playing chess.

The players looked at each other and sat down together.

"Madam Liu of the first household on the first floor of Building 2 is dead. The body has not been found yet. What is in the room now is a wax figure. There are no signs of fighting or bloodstains in the room."

He paused, pacing among the players, slowly hooking his lips.

"It's really realistic, almost making me think she was just sleeping."

When he passed Qiao Yinuo, her fingers trembled, and her whole person couldn't breathe. Su Mian stared at the man, and inadvertently made eye contact with him.

A certain thought was born implicitly, is this man a DM?

She was puzzled in her heart, shouted 4399 several times in her heart, but no one answered her. She urgently wanted to know the answer.

It happened that 4399 dropped the chain at a critical moment. She just remembered that she hadn't heard 4399's voice since entering the game.

The man's sigh pulled her back to her senses for the time being.

"Do you know what the most likable thing about wax figures is?"

He stopped, lowered his head and stared at the players who were holding their breath, "They won't shout, won't struggle, and won't leave traces."

"Very trouble-saving."

After speaking, a snap of his fingers, a void electronic clock with a red light appeared in the mist in the distance.

Countdown twenty minutes.

"Time is limited, self-introduction and timeline should be said together."

After speaking, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wang Xiaonan touched her chin, "So... when did she die?"

Meng Ziqi shook his head while playing with his watch, "Don't know, the method of death is too special. Even if we really saw it, we couldn't judge whether what we saw at that moment was a real person or a wax figure."

Su Mian nodded. Although she had observed with binoculars last night, she didn't look closely, so she couldn't be sure what time Madam Liu died.

"Okay then, self-introduction."

Meng Ziqi put down his watch and stood up, his smile kind and friendly, but carrying the majesty and charm of an elder. The eyes of the people present gathered on him involuntarily.

"My name is Meng Ziqi, an entrepreneur. My career has achieved some success. My little girlfriend just graduated from university, full of enthusiasm and told me she wanted to be a streamer."

He looked at Qiao Yinuo. Qiao Yinuo was playing this kind of game for the first time and was a little nervous, ignoring that gaze, focusing on the script.

"In my opinion, streaming is not the first profession you can choose after entering society, but Xiao Xuan is very stubborn and insists on completing her dream."

He smiled dotingly, "So, I gave her a month. If she really made it, let her continue to go on. If she failed, she would move out of this place with me."

He nodded to everyone, indicating that he had finished speaking.

Su Mian: "How long have you moved here?"

"Not long ago, probably... a week ago?"

Meng Ziqi thought about it. Su Mian nodded. Qiao Yinuo on her right stood up. The nervousness and helplessness faded, and she performed more confidently and generously.

"My name is Dong Xuan, a fresh graduate. I think I have a good skin, and becoming an internet celebrity has always been my dream, so after graduation, I started streaming."

"I didn't expect that the girl opposite, Ye Wan, was also a streamer. Her temper was too bad, and she often showed off her achievements to me. I couldn't get angry, so naturally, I took her as a competitor."

Qiao Yinuo was angry and annoyed, her hands clenched into fists. She actually performed the green momentum of just entering society. Su Mian was very gratified and almost wanted to applaud.

"As for Madam Liu, I didn't have much contact with her. Yesterday, after chatting with my boyfriend, I stayed in the room and streamed."

She finished speaking, relieved, and sat down slowly.

"My name is Xiao Li, I check the water meter here, and I left after checking the water meter yesterday..."

He muttered, and sat down after speaking. Su Mian lowered her eyes, her fingertips tapping on the table.

"My name is Wang Xiaonan, a college student, and a wandering orphan."

Wang Xiaonan was short, but full of energy when speaking.

"I don't know how Madam Liu died. Every day, besides thinking about making money, I think about making money. I want to gain a foothold in the city! I want to make a fortune and live in a big villa!!!"

The echo circled the building several times.

Everyone looked over in surprise, and Wang Xiaonan coughed twice awkwardly.

"Sorry."

"Back to the point, I also moved here a week ago. Because it is inconvenient to work part-time at school, I can only wander around. The place where I work also needs to be changed from time to time. Recently, I am tutoring, tutoring Du Yuekang, a student in this building."

Su Mian: "My name is He Sansan, the landlord here. You all saw me yesterday. After collecting the rent, I returned to my residence. I came out once during the period and met Meng Ziqi and Dong Xuan."

Meng Ziqi was lost in thought, "Although I didn't see Madam Liu's body, I speculate that the wax figure is the appearance of the deceased at the last moment before death."

Su Mian looked over, suddenly reminded, "Yes, the wax figure's action is looking down at threading the needle, which means she probably died between seven and eight o'clock."

Xiao Li was a little puzzled, "How do you know she was threading the needle at that time?"

Su Mian thought of what happened last night and felt a headache, "I live in the building opposite you, I can see."

Wang Xiaonan lowered her head and took notes, "Good eyesight."

"Beep beep–"

The concentrated discussion time was up. The players stood up one after another, looking for clues. Qiao Yinuo bumped Su Mian's shoulder.

"Hehe, San San, I have grown up. I will follow Meng Ziqi for a while. I have to get some useful news from him. Dare to fool sister? Let's see who can play better!"

Su Mian hummed and laughed speechlessly, "Don't be fooled again."

Qiao Yinuo raised her chin, "No, San San, just wait for sister to set up the man and take you to fly."

As she said that, she rushed up to hold Meng Ziqi's shoulder. Meng Ziqi looked a little surprised, but soon laughed again, touched Qiao Yinuo's head, and the two looked very affectionate.

Su Mian shook her head and turned to the crime scene.

This crime scene made her feel surprised.

Nothing, nothing at all.

It was clean, but abnormal. Except for Madam Liu who became a wax figure, everything was very normal.

There was another knock on the door outside, and the "Fresh Delivery" ordered yesterday was delivered to the door.

Su Mian picked up the box and observed it. Three eggs, two tomatoes, a small piece of chicken breast, two potatoes, a box of self-heating rice, plus seasonings.

It was "Today's Must-Buy" seen in the software yesterday, and nothing else was bought.

So Fresh Delivery might have nothing to do with Madam Liu's death, so how did the murderer manage to make the killing method so clean without leaving a trace? ===== CHAPTER 140 =====
