Fine, Fine, So That's How We're Playing It, Huh?

The eavesdropping on the rooftop continued.

But after listening for a while, Qin Chaoge realized he had tuned into the wrong channel.

It seems like they're playing "Clown" downstairs instead of "Crime Story".

Cheng Shi mumbled and rambled on for a long time, but apart from asking and answering his own questions, nothing about finding the murderer came up.

What is he doing?

Completely baffled, she frowned and shook her head at Li Boli beside her, indicating that she had come up with nothing.

Li Boli could tame the wind, so she could naturally hear the noise downstairs. She stared into Qin Chaoge's eyes for a while, then nodded thoughtfully.

She is now certain that the "war" Believer who impersonated a tourist assistant to commit murder is not the one who killed her teammate.

As for why Li Boli knew that Qin Chaoge hadn't killed the tour assistant, that's naturally because...

She killed him!

Her intrusion was witnessed by the tour assistant who pushed open the door, and then she killed the assistant to cover her tracks.

Qin Chaoge's keen hearing clearly picked up the noise next door. Her claim to be the murderer was simply to observe whose reaction was the strangest.

Unfortunately, Hunter are masters at concealing their tracks, and Qin Chaoge failed to detect her weakness.

At this moment, she realized that Qin Chaoge's feeling of searching for the murderer was genuine, so she ruled out the Singer, who was opposed to the deceased's Faith, as a suspect.

Upon further reflection, Cheng Shi, who had come to examine the body alone, bypassing Qin Chaoge, was also unlikely to be the murderer.

This narrows down the identity of the murderer to one of the two individuals.

Today's Warrior, or perhaps, Life Sage.

Qin Chaoge was still annoyed at not hearing an answer, but when she saw a hint of trust in Li Boli's eyes, she immediately realized that she had been ruled out as a suspect.

On what grounds?

On what basis could the Ranger suddenly rule out his own suspicion without any additional information?

This can only mean one thing: that he cleared his own name of doubts about the murderer's identity.

But she still admitted to breaking into that room, so why was she so sure she wasn't lying?

No!

She wasn't certain she hadn't lied, but rather certain she had lied.

She realized her true identity and knew she hadn't killed the tour guide assistant!

How could a Hunter was certain of his conclusions based on various traces at the crime scene suddenly overturn his own conclusions?

After much thought, there is only one answer:

She knew she wasn't the one who killed the tour assistant.

Or rather, it's highly likely that she was the one who killed the person!

No wonder I couldn't figure out who the murderer was.

Hunter are masters of disguise!

Having figured everything out, Qin Chaoge angrily spoke to the Hunter in front of him:

"Big, skin, swallow, child."

Li Boli chuckled, grabbed Qin Chaoge's hand, and ignoring her astonished expression, jumped off the roof with her.

Since we're already here, we should at least gain something from this trip.

Cheng Shi stood in front of the dead tour assistant and reluctantly took out the brooch.

In fact, he had probably already guessed who killed the tour guide assistant, and also guessed that this murderer might not be related to the murderer who killed his teammate.

But to be 100% certain, he used [Memory of the Departed] again.

This time, I can't possibly make a mistake!

As long as it's done correctly, the price of three Sacrifice isn't unacceptable!

After careful preparation, Cheng Shi asked his last question of the night:

"The person who killed you was a woman with small braids, right?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The two voices rang out at the same time, startling Cheng Shi.

He turned his head sharply, looking in the direction the sound came from, and saw two female teammates standing outside the window he had climbed through, smiling and waving at him.

"..."

Okay, okay, is this how you play it?

Even without the parties involved admitting it, seeing Qin Chaoge and Li Boli standing together, Cheng Shi instantly guessed the cause and effect.

He glared at Qin Chaoge, silently berating her:

"Big Swallow!"

"..."

Those who speak Human Skin others will eventually be spoken ill of themselves.

Upon hearing this, Li Boli burst out laughing, "No need to be so quiet, there's no one around."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Chaoge retorted, unconvinced:

What did you just say?

Cheng Shi chuckled and ignored her.

It's not that I'm afraid to repeat myself, I just feel that a grown man shouldn't stoop to the level of a young woman.

He ignored Qin Chaoge and looked at Li Boli with a serious expression.

"Tell me, Ranger, what are you hiding?"

"Tell me first how you came to suspect me?"

Cheng Shi chuckled and pointed at Qin Chaoge, saying:

"When chatting in the dungeon, whenever the topic of the deceased tour assistant came up, your gaze would always inadvertently drift towards her."

Although you tried your best to create a sense of secrecy, I could still tell that it was something you did on purpose.

But you weren't deliberately hiding your gaze; you were deliberately giving me a hint!

Tell me you don't think Qin Chaoge is the murderer of the tour assistant.

I was able to figure all this out because of this brooch in my hand that can detect lies, but you, Ranger, clearly admitted that all the clues fit her logic.

Therefore, there is only one answer I can think of:

So you killed the tour assistant, but after Qin Chaoge appeared, you disappeared and silently searched for the murderer who killed your teammate!

Am I right, Ranger?

Upon hearing Cheng Shi's deduction, the three people inside and outside the church simultaneously revealed knowing smiles.

Sometimes, the conversation between intelligent people is just a knowing smile.

Li Boli stopped hiding anything and told everyone everything that had happened since she opened her eyes.

"My room was just one room away from his, and the moment I opened my eyes, his room was completely silent, without a sound escaping."

The thought that he was Believer of His plight piqued my curiosity, so I went to observe him.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chaoge blinked in bewilderment.

It turns out that the excuse she made up so casually was actually Li Boli's reason.

Li Boli smiled at Qin Chaoge and continued:

"But when I entered the room, he was already dead."

And because of my intrusion, the Silence Domain collapsed with a roar.

The assistant at the door pushed the door open and saw me. To avoid trouble, I killed him.

The exact same words were used; it was as if Qin Chaoge's words had been repeated verbatim.

Qin Chaoge thought to himself that this was the biggest problem, while Cheng Shi had already frowned deeply.

This female Hunter is really amazing.

Looking back, although she killed someone, when she was identifying the traces in the room at the beginning, she avoided the main issue by making vague and certain statements, and she didn't even tell a single lie.

However, we should probably thank Qin Chaoge for taking the blame so accurately back then.

She must have heard everything.

At this moment, Li Boli spoke directly and was not lying.

She did indeed only kill the tour assistant.

But that's precisely the most troublesome thing.

The fact that these two people were even standing in front of him meant they had already ruled each other out. And after ruling out himself, the remaining two...

Hu Xuan doesn't seem like the murderer at all.

She didn't need to do that, nor was it necessary for her to do so.

For her, there was no need to kill someone to resolve a matter that could be settled with a child.

So Cheng Shi was very puzzled. Could it be that scoundrel who stole his position?

Ideally, this would allow the remaining teammates to build temporary trust and avoid the headache of Faith Opposition.

Li Boli clearly noticed Cheng Shi's uncertainty, but she didn't ask about it further. Instead, she looked curiously at the finger bones in his hand and asked:

"I smell death. This item can help you revive corpses and detect lies?"

Cheng Shi was still thinking about how to explain the finger bone when he heard the Hunter ask him that question. He smiled and nodded, then picked up the finger bone and showed it to her.

"Are you the murderer who killed your teammate?"

Li Boli raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when Cheng Shi moved his finger bone toward Qin Chaoge.

Qin Chaoge's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth, saying:

"Yes!"

Lie.

Yes, the murderer was indeed one of those two.

Cheng Shi was relieved.
