Upon arriving at the hotel, Lin Yu, led by Fu Luo, immediately went to the scene to investigate.

Just as Lin Yu had predicted, the scene where "Order" hadn't found anything amiss, and when he arrived, he indeed couldn't discern anything either.

Everything is perfectly normal...

Even though it was clear that a murder had occurred in the room, Lin Yu still couldn't see anything amiss.

Even without the relatively professional testing methods available to "Order," Lin Yu could still make a judgment...

"There shouldn't be any signs of any high-level [Item] being used."

Even if the [Item] could send a person into this room silently, it's impossible for a living person to appear without leaving any trace.

As for the "Item" used in the "remote killing," that's quite possible... but Carrot's autopsy report didn't show that.

Although it was mentioned that there was some kind of special residual energy in his soul, this cannot be considered "evidence".

Activating [Item] also requires certain conditions; the more powerful the [Item], the more restrictions it often has.

Currently, there are no Item in the "Player" community that are as unreasonable as the "Death Note".

Even for "remote killing," only "Player" who have had contact with Grandpa Radish can do it.

Therefore, Lin Yu looked at Fu Luo.

"Did you find any 'clues' using your 'Detective' abilities?"

Fu Luo didn't answer, but instead took out a pipe and put it in his mouth.

Lin Yu could tell at a glance that what this guy had taken out was definitely his [Profession Item].

So he raised an eyebrow. "Looks like you've learned something?"

Fu Luo took off his pipe. "Ah, no, not at all."

"The killer did it too cleanly; at least inside the room, my abilities didn't provide any useful clues."

Lin Yu sighed silently upon hearing Fu Luo's matter-of-fact words.

"This is getting more and more troublesome... It seems our opponent this time is very strong."

"If there are no clues at the scene, the only way to break through is to question the suspect."

Fu Luo agreed, "Yes, if we ask them one by one, we'll eventually find a breakthrough."

"Let's go, who should we ask first?"

Seeing Fu Luo's eagerness, Lin Yu sighed.

"If I remember correctly, you and I were doing the Instance on the same day, right?"

Fu Luo was somewhat puzzled as to why Lin Yu suddenly brought this up.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Lin Yu rubbed his temples and said, "But you haven't slept since midnight either, aren't you sleepy?"

He pointed to the sky outside, which was beginning to lighten.

"It's almost five in the morning already. Even if we don't sleep, those 'suspects' might not be awake."

Lin Yu said helplessly.

"I can feel my mind starting to wander, and even if I were to ask questions now, it would probably be much less effective... I don't know why you're so excited."

Fu Luo rubbed his hands sheepishly. "Haha... actually, I'm a little sleepy too, but I thought it was getting late, so I might as well stay up for another hour or so and find something to do."

Lin Yu was stunned and looked at Fu Luo: "What's your reason for insisting on enduring this much extra time?"

"This hotel offers a buffet breakfast at 6:30 am, and it's pretty good," Fu Luo said honestly. "If you buy it separately, it'll cost over a hundred yuan per person... not cheap."

Lin Yu was amused by Fu Luo's words. "You've got it backwards, I'm truly speechless."

"I'm going to sleep!"

As Lin Yu spoke, he turned and left the "front line".

Even from behind, Fu Luo Bu Wang to ask a question.

"Okay... do you want me to pack some cake or something for you?"

Lin Yu did not answer.

Because the auction was organized by the "Hunter Society," even though Lin Yu was there as a member of "Order" on a mission to investigate, his accommodation was still arranged by the "Hunter Society."

The well-funded "Hunter Society" naturally arranged for Lin Yu to stay at the same luxurious hotel.

Holding his room key, Lin Yu took the elevator and slowly descended to the sixteenth floor, where his double room was located.

The elevator doors opened, and Lin Yu found his room according to the room number, swiped his card, and returned to his room.

Although it was just a business king room, the room was spacious, bright, and luxurious, exuding an air of wealth—even the bathroom was a size larger than Lin Yu's usual bedroom.

He closed the door, lay down on the bed, and opened his Backpack.

Lin Yu let out a long breath.

He didn't lie to Fu Luo; Lin Yu was genuinely feeling exhausted at this moment...

Before entering the Instance, he was still reviewing, and after entering the Instance, he was even more confused by the design of the First Generation "Freud". He had to play mind games with the "Diviner" as soon as he regained his Memory.

Back in reality, he was immediately transported to Sea City to investigate a murder case... Lin Yu's brain had reached its limit.

"I really admire those energetic geniuses in fictional works," Lin Yu rubbed his temples, slowly relaxing his muscles. "I guess I'm just an ordinary person after all."

As he sighed, he also kept an eye on Hannah, who was carrying Old Zheng's brain as she crawled out.

At first glance, it looks like a brain with eight tentacles, resembling a monster from some B-Class- movie or horror Game, making one's sanity plummet.

Seeing them come out on their own initiative, and while resting, Lin Yu took the opportunity to make arrangements. "Is there surveillance in this room, Hannah?"

"Quack! Director, please rest assured, there shouldn't be anyone spying on this place!"

Hannah said firmly.

Old Zheng chimed in, "I didn't sense any similar methods either..."

Lin Yu nodded and simply released Stiller as well.

While he genuinely needed rest, Lin Yu's return to his room wasn't without other motives.

Because he is an ordinary person, not a genius, Lin Yu needs to consult his trusted helpers.

Whether they are the top henchmen of the Truth Company, the junior of the Deity's Spokesperson, or the former head of the "Psychology Society," none of them are ordinary people. They are all knowledgeable and possess great Wisdom.

Moreover, in a sense, these three guys are even in the same field.

Hannah is skilled at infiltrating and disguising herself; Old Zheng might know some of the suspects; Stiller has even carried out a locked-room murder himself.

Asking for the opinions of those seasoned Player before asking them can make the process smoother.

"So... everyone, what are your thoughts on this case?"

As Lin Yu was speaking, Old Zheng was the first to speak.

"Hey friend, you know what... I actually have a clue."

Lin Yu looked at the brain. "Oh?"

"I know Carrot," Old Zheng said confidently, "And when that kid in the car was announcing the suspect's name just now... I heard two names that he has a grudge against."

"Phoenix" and "Hundred Refined Steel"—these two don't get along with Carrot at all!
