Chapter 232: Everyone

Huh?

Everyone was stunned.

What the hell?

He Cha wants to kill Sa Hua?

Why?

Aren't they good friends?

"Why! My god, that's so scary!"

"Did you see that? The expression on Mr. He's face, it's too terrifying!"

"He Cha wants to kill Sa Hua? What kind of plot is this!"

"Suddenly, I feel a chill down my spine!"

"First time seeing Mr. He perform in such a state, honestly, he's acting well!"

"A twist upon a twist! How will the plot develop from here? Super looking forward to it!"

The audience in the live stream instantly became boisterous.

It seemed they were all blown away by that smile from He Jiong!

No choice.

Qin Mu's sense for the camera was too strong.

Thriller, horror, it all came through.

Even Director He, sitting by the monitor, broke out in a cold sweat at that moment.

Oh my god!

That's amazing!

Truth be told, Mr. He is a decent host, but his acting skills...

... re really not that great.

But, through Brother Qin's lens.

It's completely different!

Is this the effect of a formidable cinematographer?

"So, why do you want to kill me?"

Sa Bening was dazed for a good while before hurriedly asking.

Why on earth!

I've been so good to you!

And you actually want to kill me!

"Because..."

He Jiong smiled slightly and said, "I found my younger brother's corpse in your back garden."

"You killed my brother, didn't you?"

As he spoke, he revealed a row of clean, white teeth.

"What?!"

Someone exclaimed.

He Cha's younger brother had gone missing earlier.

They had never found out where he was!

Who would have thought he was actually dead!

And the body was discovered in Sa Hua's back garden!

Was he the one who killed him?

"You can't just conclude that I killed him because your brother's body was in my back garden, right?"

Sa Bening looked speechless.

"Why not?"

This argument had no persuasive power at all.

No one believed him!

"Fine."

"Continue."

Sa Bening spread his hands, expressing helplessness.

No need to explain.

Because this had nothing to do with the murder case of this episode.

"At 9: 5, I went to Sa Hua's home."

"Then I saw Zhen Gudong, and I felt he was a bit in the way."

"So I pricked him with a tea needle to speed up his blood circulation and make him faint sooner."

"Then, instantly, he fainted."

"Immediately after, I placed his body on a chair nearby, then I entered Sa Hua's studio to wait for him to return, ready to act at the right moment!"

He Jiong spoke very casually.

But those listening felt a bit of a chill.

Someone was actually hiding in your house, ready to take your life at any moment.

Is that scary?

It's super scary, okay!

"How did you escape that disaster at the time?"

Liu Haoran looked at Sa Bening.

He didn't die.

Something must have happened!

"Yes."

"At 9: 0, I prepared to go back to maintain my paintings."

"But, halfway there, I discovered the corpse of my nephew, Zhen Gudong."

"Immediately after, I noticed a tea-needle hole on his arm, so I made three marks on his arm."

"It was to protect my good friend; in the end, I dragged the body back to the antique shop."

Sa Bening said slowly.

This statement contained a lot of information.

It explained why he had made three knife marks on Zhen Gudong's arm.

It also explained the previous remark about 'protecting someone.'

This was to protect He Cha!

But!

"Corpse?"

"Didn't you say you only knocked Zhen Gudong unconscious? How did it become a corpse?"

Wei Chen looked at He Jiong, suspicious.

"Yes, I am certain that all my actions were non-lethal!"

"My goal was only one, and that was to kill Sa Hua."

"Others were not my targets!"

He Jiong said righteously.

"Then are you sure Zhen Gudong was truly dead?"

Wang Ou asked Sa Bening.

"Certain!"

Sa Bening nodded heavily.

Now, everyone was confused!

He Cha knocked Zhen Gudong unconscious at 9: 5, and Sa Hua confirmed Zhen Gudong's death at 9: 0.

There were only five minutes in between!

"Two possibilities."

"Either a third person came during those five minutes and killed Zhen Gudong."

"Or one of the two of them is lying."

Liu Haoran had a rare moment of clarity.

So who was lying?

The others were very lost.

Only Qin Mu smiled slightly.

What was there to be lost about?

The body search hadn't even finished yet.

Could the real culprit have already appeared?

Impossible!

"I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy, I feel like nothing can be connected!"

"I'm so confused right now, who is the real culprit!"

"I'm thinking, apart from the real culprit, the other guests probably don't have any clear ideas."

"No, there's still one person, Brother Qin must have guessed something!"

"Hahaha, right, this one is the true game bug; no game can stump him."

Everyone thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out everything in between.

They could only continue the body search.

Next, Shen Sijia.

There was nothing else on him.

Just that pill.

"This pill, I prepared it to poison Zhen Gudong."

"Because he already knew that I had forged the video, so I wanted to make him shut up!"

"I bought this pill before I met him, but when we met, he was always very wary of me."

"So I didn't have a chance to act!"

Wei Chen said directly.

Alright.

No clues.

Everyone already knew this.

The last person.

Ou Xianhui.

She didn't have anything on her.

Everyone had to go to her room to search.

It was right next to the antique shop.

Unlike the previous individual searches, this time the whole group was mobilized.

Very quickly.

They found a clue.

A household register.

On it were all the details about her and Zhen Gudong.

There was also a mobile phone, which belonged to Ou Xianhui.

"Try the birthday."

Gui Gui suggested.

Sure enough, after two attempts, it opened.

Inside.

There was a Weibo post.

And another was a lawyer's letter.

It was about the issue of theft.

It seemed Ou Xianhui decided to flee to Country M to avoid being arrested for theft.

"Tell us your story!"

Liu Haoran asked.

"That day, I saw my brother Zhen Gudong chatting with Sa Hua's father."

"From the conversation, I learned that Sa's father was planning to report my brother for forging paintings."

"Later, the two of them had a big argument."

"My brother, in a fit of anger, pushed Sa's father to the ground and left."

"When I prepared to go over to help him up, I discovered Sa's father was preparing to take out his phone to notify the soldiers."

"I had no choice; I didn't want my brother to go to jail, so I could only take something to knock Sa's father unconscious, but I used too much force."

"I couldn't control it, and I ended up killing him."

Wang Ou said silently.
