Truth

The "Player Mutual Aid Society Association" was initially established to provide a place for Orderly Players did not want to join local or other organizations to enjoy the convenience of "Information Exchange" and "Item Exchange" offered by a large organization.

This organization, like its Founder Carrot, carries a simple and benevolent spirit.

The organization's basic function is written in its name—mutual assistance.

If you want to join the "Player Mutual Aid Society," all you need to do is post on the forum or find a member of the "Player Mutual Aid Society," download and install an app... and you'll be a member.

He doesn't even require you to be its sole member.

There are no obligations to joining the organization; the only hope is that all members will work together for one another.

Player can share Instance information, exchange and dispose of unused Item, and even chat with each other if they want to team up.

If you wish to advance further and take on a "management" role, you can also apply to become a "volunteer" to assist in managing the organization and organizing regular activities such as Mutual Aid Q&A, Item appraisal, and Skill Training.

They even provide compensation to the families of members who die in Instance.

In the beginning, when there were few members, the "Player Mutual Aid Society" was a paradise, thanks to the information shared by a few early members and the Founder, as well as the large number of Item they offered to encourage others to do the same.

This is more like a friendly "forum" that doesn't require points, and it also has a lot of active high-level Player.

However, as time went by and a large number of Player joined, the organization gradually began to go astray.

Many Player took advantage of others' kindness... but when the Founder the "Player Mutual Aid Society" were still around, everything was still under control.

But...

After that instance that nearly wiped out all of the "Player Mutual Aid Society's " remaining Instance, the surviving Carrot had to change some of his strategies.

Raise the entry requirements for the "Player Mutual Aid Society" and reduce the number of volunteers.

And the portion on compensation for the deceased was cut.

At the same time, it is no longer an organization that accepts overlap with other organizations, and many of its benefits are only provided to members who have already joined.

After these reforms, the organization did improve for a while, but soon... the relatively closed organizational structure allowed the "volunteers" to gain more power.

This caused it to develop factions and hierarchies, just like other organizations—something Carrot originally didn't want to see.

But he was powerless to stop it, and he himself was gradually being sidelined by those new factions.

More and more people are siding with the new factions because of the immense benefits of gaining a leadership position in a well-established, large organization.

The Carrot was powerless to stop it all.

"I just didn't expect... Cassia Seed has always been by Mr. Carrot's side," Lotus sighed. "He would actually do something like this. I thought he wouldn't be swayed by profit."

Lin Yu shook his head.

"First of all, don't overestimate human nature; the inevitable end for any 'charitable' organization is corruption."

"Secondly, the reason your organization has 'transformed' so quickly is certainly not just internal corruption; we also need to look for external reasons."

Lin Yu spoke Leng Jing, and Hehua raised her head.

"You mean, other organizations?"

"The Order and the Night Watcher may not be needed, but what about other local organizations? And what about those three organizations that were removed from the forum?"

Lin Yu spoke softly, and Lotus's expression changed slightly.

So... you mean...?

"At the very least, the death of Cassia Seed must have been orchestrated by the 'Psychology Society,' or by someone with similar hypnotic abilities," Fu Luo said Leng Jing. "It wasn't a suicide in the strictest sense."

"Just like your unusually quiet sleep that day, it was caused by someone's suggestion—he wasn't even the murderer of the Carrot."

Lin Yu looked at the bewildered lotus flower. "So... rather than wallowing in self-pity, I recommend you choose 'hatred'."

"You haven't done anything wrong, and you still have things to settle."

Lotus's expression changed slightly, and after a long while, she nodded.

"I understand, thank you."

"But if the murderer isn't Cassia Seed... then who is it?"

"Whom should I seek Revenge?"

Fu Luo was about to speak, Lin Yu raised his hand.

"We'll announce that later—of course, it's best if everyone is present for such a moment."

Lotus nodded.

"I understand... I'll call everyone over."

The thug turned and ran away in a hurry.

Watching Hehua's departing figure, Fu Luo couldn't help but sigh, "You're such a kind person, caring about his mental health and offering him some guidance."

"If I don't calm him down, I'm afraid he'll lose control," Lin Yu said calmly. "Besides, his willingness to tell us about things inside the organization is a huge help in itself."

Good Night, who had been standing to the side listening for a while, yawned.

So, what is Truth?

"Who committed these two murders... Li Hua and I, you guys have to give us a heads-up, so we'll know who to arrest and who to keep an eye on. At least we'll have some idea."

Lin Yu shrugged.

"It's not impossible..."

This time, it was Fu Luo who interrupted Lin Yu.

"I definitely can't tell you directly, but I can still give you a hint."

Do you like reading mystery novels?

Good Night was surprised. "It's alright... I've only read a few of the famous ones, and I also read Keigo Higashino's new books every year, is there something wrong?"

"I'll copy it, what kind of traffic-driving dog is this?"

Fu Luo said it subconsciously.

"Can't you speak properly, you Xi Ba?!"

Good Night rolled up his sleeves, Fu Luo instantly chickened out.

"Brother, I spoke too quickly, please don't mind!"

He then quickly added, "Anyway, regarding this case... Cassia Seed aside for now. The situation with Grandpa Radish is actually very similar to a very famous mystery novel."

"Written by my second favorite Writer, the Queen of Crime Agatha Christie."

Fu Luo spoke, Good Night paused, momentarily stunned.

"Agatha Christie... Xi Ba <The Murder of Roger Ackroyd>?!"

"The murderer is the Doctor's assistant who's been helping the Detective the case?! Xi Ba's impossible! 'May May' only arrived today!"

"It's possible he killed Cassia Seed... after all, his sudden return to Xi Ba is indeed suspicious—he just went to the bathroom."

Good Night felt increasingly uneasy as she spoke, and began to look Lin Yu up and down with a wary look in her eyes.

Lin Yu's forehead veins bulged, and disregarding the fact that Good Night was his superior, he cursed out loud.

"Is your concussion still not healed, Captain Good Night?"

"I went back to sleep to keep my mind clear and avoid saying something as idiotic as you— Sherlock is clearly reciting 'Murder on the Orient Express'!"
