Another Murder Case

The Paper Kite arrived very quickly.

The image of him was different from what Lin Yu had imagined: a "serial killer in reserve" and a "former " Order "Inspector for the East China Region."

He was a shy and introverted young man, dressed in a simple shirt, jeans, and sneakers, like a science student who would worry about his internship and future job at a campus recruitment fair.

Upon entering, Paper Kite politely greeted everyone—each person in turn.

"Hello, Teacher Li Hua and Teacher Good Night."

"These two must be Fu Luo and May May, right? You've worked so hard, it's really a lot of trouble for you."

The distance from the doorway to the table was only five or six steps, but Paper Kite insisted on bowing slightly to everyone before walking to the table.

Should I sit now?

He pulled out a chair, quickly gestured around it with both hands, and asked with a somewhat restrained smile.

"Just sit down."

Fu Luo gestured for Paper Kite to sit down.

Paper Kite then sat down on the chair and began rubbing her hands together on her lap.

Lin Yu's gaze fell on the other person's subtle movements.

Noticing Lin Yu's gaze, Paper Kite immediately spoke up.

"Haha, I'm a little nervous, sorry."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. "Even a former Inspector of the East China Region gets nervous when faced with questions from a newcomer like me?"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's tone, Fu Luo seemed to realize that Lin Yu intended to put pressure on the other party, and immediately followed suit.

"Yes, and haven't you experienced this kind of situation before?"

Upon hearing this, Paper Kite glanced at Li Hua in the corner.

"So you two already knew," he said, wiping the sweat from his brow with his Right Hand and then rubbing it on his shirt near his shoulder. "Is that the main reason I'm being suspected?"

"Yes, but that's not all... What were you doing when the crime happened?"

Lin Yu naturally steered the conversation back to the normal interrogation process.

"I was browsing the forum," Paper Kite honestly replied. "Since I'm in Sea City, I thought I'd check if there were any other 'violations' by people Sea City recently besides this incident..."

Li Hua, who was standing in the corner, couldn't hold back any longer. "Qi Han, can't you just leave us alone for a couple of days?"

"Teacher Li Hua, I don't intend to kill anyone again," Paper Kite replied immediately. "I'm sorry, I was just looking... I also want to atone for my crimes as soon as possible."

Even so, Li Hua was still not at ease.

He stared at the Paper Kite for a long time, and finally said nothing more.

Lin Yu understood Li Hua's reaction quite well.

Although Paper Kite apologized immediately, judging from the other party's expression, he showed no remorse whatsoever.

His "apology" was just like a greeting, purely out of politeness and good manners.

This guy will definitely do it again.

Lin Yu gained a basic understanding of Paper Kite.

He is indeed somewhat dangerous.

"As expected, the proportion of abnormal individuals among the 'Death game' Player group is far too high..."

Even the concept of "Order" is only relatively normal compared to other organizations.

However, regardless of Paper Kite's personality or character, Lin Yu will not use this as a "basis" to influence the pace of the next move.

"Okay... but you should know that this is not a strong alibi."

As Lin Yu spoke, Paper Kite nodded.

"I see."

"So, what's your relationship with Carrot?"

Lin Yu asked again.

Paper Kite looked embarrassed. "Speaking of relationship... well, there's really no relationship. I'm not particularly close to the old man, but I've heard of him; he's a good person with a good reputation."

"Like the other people you've killed before, they have a good reputation."

Fu Luo suddenly added a sentence.

Paper Kite lowered her head. "Those people are different. They are hypocrites who seek fame and fortune. But Carrot... is a truly good person. I actually investigated him."

"Did you find anything?"

Lin Yu quietly Fu Luo a thumbs-up, then continued to ask.

Paper Kite shook her head. "If they find out anything dirty about him, and it's true that I killed him, I'll confess now and tell you why."

"That's how it was before... Actually, Teacher Li Hua only caught me once. The other eight times, he caught me, and I confessed to it myself."

Li Hua sighed, "You're actually quite proud of yourself, aren't you?"

"Absolutely not."

Paper Kite shook her head again. "In short, I can guarantee that I didn't kill Carrot, nor did I intend to kill him."

Lin Yu looked at the Paper Kite, pondered for a long time, and then nodded.

"I believe you... but I have one last question for you."

"Did you know beforehand that the Carrot would die?"

Paper Kite paused for a moment, then shook her head. "You must be joking. If I weren't the murderer and knew beforehand... how could I have stood by and watched this happen?"

"I understand, please leave."

Lin Yu made a "please" gesture.

After Paper Kite left, Fu Luo turned and spoke in the interrogation room.

"Should we still call those two 'Player Mutual Aid Society'?"

"There's no need, we already have enough information," Lin Yu said, looking at Fu Luo. "Do you need to ask again?"

Fu Luo crossed her arms. "I don't need that... I'm just worried you won't be able to keep up with me."

Good Night said happily, "Xi Ba, it sounds like you've got a lead?"

"Yes," Lin Yu nodded, " 'Paper Kite' lied just now too—I know he was lying this time without even needing Lie Detector."

Li Hua pushed up his glasses. "But he's not the murderer either, is he?"

Lin Yu nodded, but before he could elaborate further to Li Hua, the interrogation room door opened once more.

The Paper Kite flew away but returned.

Behind him were two members of the "Hunter Society," Huang and King Ming.

Seeing the somewhat gloomy expressions on the three faces, Li Hua turned around and turned on the lights in the room.

"What happened?"

He stared at the Paper Kite and asked.

"Another person has died," Paper Kite said in a low voice. "It's 'Cassia Seed' from the 'Player Mutual Aid Society'... He committed suicide and left a suicide note."

"Where did you die? How did you die? Who found you? Has the time of death been determined? What did you write in your suicide note?"

Fu Luo asked immediately.

"He committed suicide by shooting himself in his own room. It was 'Lotus' who found him. He went downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes and came back to find him already dead," Huang Yi answered point by point. "The time was just a few minutes ago... As for the contents of the suicide note, I took a picture of it with my phone."

As she spoke, she took out her phone, on which was a hastily written suicide note, consisting of only a few lines.

He confessed that he was the murderer.

Lin Yu took the phone and frowned as he looked at the suicide note.

Good Night also tugged at his hair. "Xi Ba, are you kidding me... a 'Player' committed suicide?!"

"This is Xi Ba chaos!"
