Chapter 653: Hidden Secrets Exposed! Father and Daughter?

"You?" Tang Youning sized up the middle‑aged man with a square face, his eyes filled with suspicion, "Where does your supervisory ability come from?"

"I can Lie Detection!" Li Zhenhua said, each word halting.

Oh?

Tang Youning subtly glanced at Su Yang, arms crossed beside him, and teased, "Such a familiar Innate Talent; I think I've seen it on someone before."

Su Yang ignored his gun‑belt and, with interest, said, "One 'Interpretation', one 'Lie Detection', two Innate Talents that seem worlds apart yet can produce a chemical reaction here."

"But to return to the point, if your Lie Detection hypothesis truly has discernment, how can those of us without it know whether you're deliberately hiding something?" the Countess asked.

Before Li Zhenhua could speak, Su Yang said, "If we constantly anticipate countless unfavorable conditions, then I see no need to continue this game."

"Let's wait until 8 p. m. for the big blind selection; being chosen is luck, not being chosen means we all die."

Hearing Su Yang say that, the Countess's face turned very pale, yet she did not flare up.

Her raised concern echoed the sentiment of most players.

If the two had pre‑planned in advance, and coincidentally one of them is the murderer.

Wouldn't the rest be toyed with at their fingertips?

"I'm curious, everyone is opposing, so why is Mr. Su not worried at all, but instead pushing forward aggressively?" the Coachman asked.

"I just don't want to waste time, and what you worry about is merely that the letter's contents might affect judgment. Yet you can't bring yourselves to give it up, so I have to be the 'bad guy' here," Su Yang said.

"So... you can take responsibility?" the Security Guard asked.

"What does it have to do with me? First, I didn't find the letter; second, Brother Tang gave it to Miss Zhai; finally, I can't read the text on it. What responsibility could I have?" Su Yang retorted.

"I don't mind; if you don't believe me, you can retrieve the letter right now," Zhai Sixin said.

Tang Youning's gaze shifted, tangled with countless doubts.

In fact, the game is stuck at this critical juncture, and he does have some worries.

Although his status is Count, seemingly lofty, it's not impossible for him to become the murderer.

Because when he went down to the Cellar, he discovered a hunting rifle.

And the mismatch between the dwelling's condition and his attire.

The deceased, appearing as a Maid yet of higher status than a Maid, remains a mystery.

If the letter hides a hidden mechanism, Tang Youning will fall completely into a passive position.

He can enforce Silence, that's true, but he can't shut everyone's Mouth.

Yet his inner voice tells him he wants to decode the letter's contents immediately.

And... this letter is likely not the only important Luoshi; many similar things exist.

Being overly cautious will only keep oneself constantly in a passive state.

Moreover, Zhai Sixin has just read the letter once; perhaps she already grasped the crucial content...

Considering this, Tang Youning gritted his teeth and decided, "Then let's go!"

"Oh? Why is Brother Tang suddenly not afraid anymore?" Su Yang teased.

"Enough chatter, start quickly!" Tang Youning urged.

When the one holding the evidence speaks, the other players cannot voice opinions even if they have them.

"Then it's my turn; please, Uncle Li, ensure proper supervision," Zhai Sixin said solemnly.

"Come." Li Zhenhua nodded slightly.

Zhai Sixin inhaled deeply, and her eyes suddenly flashed with a radiant glow.

The next moment, she involuntarily opened her mouth and spoke, "Dear Father, it's been several days without seeing you; I miss you greatly."

As soon as the opening line was uttered, everyone's pupils contracted sharply.

The deceased is truly the Count's daughter?

Tang Youning's heart tightened; he was about to intervene, but then heard Zhai Sixin's subsequent reading.

"I am gravely ill, powerless to recover; during this time I am grateful for your care. Your kindness toward me is as vast and endless as the sea."

"The lady's recent harshness toward me has lessened; she seems to have seen my ailment, fully understanding a woman's helplessness."

"But I still wish to stay entwined with you, just like that night three years ago."

At that point, everyone was stunned again.

"What is this, entanglement?!" the Countess's eyes were full of confusion.

"You aren't just rambling, are you? It makes no logical sense at all," the Coachman frowned.

If their reading comprehension has no issues...

"Calling the Count 'father', then immediately sharing a bed with him for... carnal deeds?"

Father and daughter?

"Although the Nobility's lifestyle is somewhat chaotic, it shouldn't go this far, right?" the Security Guard's eyes showed strong disgust.

To his Cognition, this is absolutely unacceptable.

At this moment, Li Zhenhua said, "She didn't lie."

Su Yang frowned, "Since she's the Count's daughter, why is she arranged to live in the Cellar?"

"And the Countess, her title should be 'Mother', right?"

"I love you, and everything about you; I miss your scent, and I miss your embrace."

"My head has been hurting lately; the Cook gave me some Canned Food, saying it would ease it."

"I ate it; it tasted good, and the headache eased."

"Sikeite cherishes me; as usual, he picked flowers in the courtyard and gave them to me, never despising my past, expressing his love."

"I refused; Father, you know, I love only you."

"Yesterday he got angry because I refused, and he saw the scar on my back; he suddenly turned into a Fierce Beast."

I understand that kind of gaze, just like the gaze you, father, have when you Sight prey.

I am very scared, very scared…

Please hurry back, I fear I won't be able to wait any longer…

Having said that, Zhai Sixin wiped the Tears from the Corner of Eye, her voice hoarse with a few raspes, "I have finished reading."

She, possessing 'Interpretation', can empathize with the letter writer.

She immersed herself into the role, deeply feeling the hope and fear the deceased had when writing this letter.

For a beautiful hope.

Fear of death.

"Who is Sikeite?" the Coachman asked, puzzled.

"From the name, it should be a male."

"Cook?"

"It can't be him; the Cook already uses an alias, Sikeite is clearly another person."

"Then that's all that's left…"

Upon saying that, Tang Youning looked at Li Zhenhua and another Security Guard.

"Love unrequited, love turning to hatred?" Su Yang raised his Brow.

"That's only the deceased's one‑sided words; moreover, how could someone who truly loves another ever resort to killing?" the Security Guard snorted coldly.

"Now it's basically clear: the old wound on the back wasn't caused by the murderer; that one could be the Count who had a fling with her!" Li Zhenhua said.

"Do you mean she has masochistic tendencies? Loving someone and still hoping they'd whip her hard?" Tang Youning said in a deep voice.

"You seem to have overlooked a very important detail," Liang Kaiqi suddenly looked at Su Yang, speaking in a hushed tone:

"The Cook gave her many Canned Food; after eating them, the headache eased."

"Then can I understand it as…"

"Did the Cook drug her?"

"Mr. Su Yang, what do you think?"
