The Stolen Item

Through Hundred Refined Steel's narration, the whole story finally came to light.

What happened here was not a "Murder Case," but a hoax orchestrated by the deceased Carrot.

Lin Yu spread his hands. "So, in the end, there wasn't actually a murderer."

But Good Night realized something was wrong.

"Hey, wait Xi Ba," Good Night said, stroking his chin. "If there's no murderer, what about that 'craftsman' who committed suicide?"

Good Night Cassia Seed was referring to cassia seeds, of course.

Upon hearing this, Lotus's face also darkened. "Yes... Cassia Seed couldn't have committed suicide."

"If it were Teacher Carrot's plan, there's absolutely no way he would have sacrificed Cassia Seed."

Lin Yu shook his head. "You've got it wrong too... but that did mislead me at the time."

"But in reality... this matter has nothing to do with the occurrence of the whole case; on the contrary, it is the 'result'."

"Cassia Seed wasn't involved in the whole incident, but he was killed because of it... If I'm not mistaken, he was likely implanted with some kind of hidden Psychological Suggestion by the 'Psychology Society' a long time ago," Lin Yu analyzed. "This Psychological Suggestion will be triggered the day Carrot dies... After it's triggered, Cassia Seed will probably fall into cognitive confusion."

"He would see himself as the murderer and have a strong desire to commit suicide to atone for his sins. This can be seen from his 'suicide note,' which is completely unlike what a mentally sound person would write."

After Lin Yu finished speaking, Hehua rubbed her hair.

"Damn it... Is that the 'Psychology Society' gang? They're a bunch of beasts!"

After discovering that there was no murderer in Carrot's death, Lotus felt less guilty, but because she had lost the object of her "hatred," she was still somewhat confused.

But Lin Yu's words just now gave him a new target and goal for Revenge!

Of course, this was something Lin Yu was happy to see—he didn't mind causing trouble for the "Psychology Society".

Huang also confirmed this statement. "Our plan did not include 'Cassia Seed'... The only thing we did to him was to have 'Kres' temporarily isolate him from the outside world when we confirmed that we could no longer prolong Mr. Carrot's life—including Lotus, it was Kres who did it."

Good Night nodded. "That all makes sense, but is it really just such a coincidence?"

"It's not a coincidence, but someone leaked the information," Lin Yu said. "This was all planned based on the fact that the Psychology Society knew about the scam."

"Their plan was manipulated... and the 'Psychology Society's' purpose was probably to make the 'change' that Grandpa Radish originally hoped for directly escalate into a more intense situation through the Cassia Seed."

Fu Luo then added, "Imagine if we hadn't realized this, Cassia Seed left a suicide note and died... because this 'scapegoat' took the blame for everything, Grandpa Radish's hard work would have been in vain."

"The changes he wants will simply degenerate into a power struggle among those people."

Lotus was trembling with anger. "What a bunch of worthless scum! How dare they trample on Teacher Carrot's last wishes like this!"

Li Hua, who had been waiting on the sidelines, finally spoke up.

"Wait... you just mentioned a leak, so you mean one of these five people is colluding with the 'Psychology Society,' right?"

He looked at Huang, King Ming, Hundred Refined Steel, Paper Kite, and Kres, and spoke slowly.

"Hey, why are you accusing us of new crimes again?"

"I'm not happy about it, "Kres said.

"Otherwise, did Carrot himself tell the 'Psychology Society' all this?"

Li Hua pushed up his glasses and said in a cold voice.

"There's a sixth person," Paper Kite said calmly, "And that person is far more suspicious than us, because he was definitely the first to know about the plan."

"We were all executors of this plan, but the plan wasn't proposed by Carrot himself... at least, someone gave him advice."

Lin Yu nodded. "There really is such a guy. He even came into my dream last night and pretended to give me some hints."

"If I'm not mistaken, it was he who leaked Carrot's plan to the 'Psychology Society'."

Fu Luo spat, "That guy really has no Profession ethics... and he's always stirring up trouble."

Lotus frowned. "Who is that guy?"

Huang shook her head. "To be honest, we don't know either... I thought it was someone from your 'Player Mutual Aid Society'."

"Based on our initial guess, it should be a guy named 'Twenty'."

Good Night chimed in.

As soon as the word "twenty" came out, everyone suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"So that's it, it was that bastard."

"Hundred Refined Steel" slapped his thigh and said.

"And he might even have the missing [Super Genetically Modified Radish] in his hands!"

"That's what the big, burly man from Northeast China said excitedly."

Lotus was taken aback. "What?! You didn't take that [Item]? Didn't he tell you to keep it safe?"

For a moment, the expressions on everyone's faces turned slightly awkward.

"We originally planned to retrieve it after you and Cassia Seed fell asleep, but when we got there, we found that it was already missing..."

"We've been searching for it for the past few days."

Huang spoke softly.

Seagull exclaimed anxiously, "Then it might really have fallen into the hands of the 'Psychology Society,' we're doomed... If we go looking for it now, it might still be in time!"

While everyone was in chaos, Li Hua calmly pulled a Carrot out of his pocket.

"Bite--"

The perfectly shaped Carrot, gleaming with golden light, made a crisp sound when it was taken out, and its dazzling light illuminated the entire room.

"No need, I've already received it."

Li Hua said calmly.

Lin Yu sighed, "I knew it."

After he told Li Hua the information he got from Nian, Lin Yu noticed that Li Hua didn't continue the conversation and even interrupted him. Lin Yu then vaguely guessed what had happened...

This guy probably already knows what's going on.

Once the range of choices is narrowed down to a certain extent, the "Gambler's" ability is sufficient to lock in the options.

With Li Hua's abilities, it was easy for him to pinpoint who took the Carrot and then get his hands on it.

Huang was somewhat dissatisfied as she looked at the Carrot in Li Hua's hand.

"What? If it was already in your hands... why didn't you say so sooner?"

"I only just received it myself, and it's only now that I've confirmed you're not the 'murderers'," Li Hua said calmly, looking at the Seagull. "And... now you can start defending yourself, Seagull."
