In the restroom, a man in his fifties, with gray hair and a slightly overweight build, was leaning against the wall opposite the sink.
The man's expression was contorted, and his eyes bulged and bloodshot.
His lips were severely purple, and the skin on his face was somewhat bluish-white.
Because his collar was hanging on a coat rack on the wall and his legs were bent, his body was in a semi-suspended state.
His left hand was slightly raised, as if reaching for something, while his right hand, though hanging down, had fingers pointing downwards, as if pointing at something.
This time, the story scenes created in the Game Space are incredibly detailed.
But it was precisely because of the extreme detail that it gave everyone goosebumps.
Lü Shouyi glanced at it twice, then gagged and backed out.
The same applies to Huang Rong.
Ling Yi also felt very uneasy. This thing, if seen by an ordinary person, would probably give them a psychological trauma.
Fortunately, Ling Yi could still hold on.
Although Qin Feng's face was pale, he and Conan carefully examined every detail of the corpse.
After a long pause, Qin Feng and Conan exchanged a glance and asked, "Was the cause of death the ligature marks on the neck?"
Conan shook his head. "Not sure, something's not right with this ligature mark."
"Do you also feel something's not right?"
"Yes, it's too shallow!"
"Moreover, his lips were purple, his face was bluish-white, and his skin and palms were bluish-purple to varying degrees. This was not death caused by lack of oxygen!" Conan nodded.
"It's a sudden cardiac arrest causing insufficient blood supply!" Qin Feng said, enduring the discomfort as he rummaged through the man's pockets and quickly found two items.
One was a white plastic bag with "R5" handwritten on it in carbon pen. The two didn't recognize it at all, but knew it was a prop used in this scene.
The other was a small brown cesium bottle with the words "Heart-Saving Pills" written on it.
The bottle is still unopened, the seal is intact, so it's clearly a new bottle of medicine.
"It was indeed a sudden death caused by cardiac arrest, at least that's how it appears on the surface!"
Suicide is definitely out of the question; otherwise, why would they be here?
With Conan and the others examining the body, Ling Yi stopped going near it to join the fun.
Instead, he looked around the sink and examined it carefully for a long time, but found nothing unusual.
Sure, the Game Space is evolving really fast.
It seems that this round of evidence gathering will not be as simple as the last one.
"Let's go. There's nothing of value left. Let's figure out what this R5 is first. I think it's the key," Conan said.
The three returned to the living room and saw Lü Shouyi and Huang Rong looking over at them with probing eyes.
"Mr. Lü Guang, Miss Li Qiqi, can either of you explain what this thing is?" Qin Feng asked Lü Shouyi and Huang Rong.
This script transmission was quite different from the first one.
In the previous game, script transmission simply involved transmitting script information.
This time, however, the corresponding memory was formed in my mind.
This intuitive way of transmitting memory clearly makes people feel more immersed.
After exchanging a glance with Huang Rong, Lü Shouyi adjusted his glasses and said, "Let me explain."
"R5 is a forbidden substance that the Final Master brought back from abroad. It's not addictive, but it's hallucinogenic. It can trigger a person's deepest fears, leading to hallucinations."
"To find inspiration, the Final Master would often lock himself in a glass room. After taking a small amount of R5, he could visualize many terrifying scenes through a mirror."
"Many of my the Final Master's writing inspirations come from this."
Lü Shouyi seemed to have found his rhythm, and his voice gradually calmed down.
"Mr. Li Feng is dead. One of you was his apprentice, and the other was his daughter. Why aren't you sad at all?" Qin Feng asked.
"Why be sad?" Lü Guang scoffed dismissively.
"He should have died long ago!" Huang Rong said instinctively, recalling the script in her mind.
"You hate Mr. Li Feng? Can you explain why?" Conan asked.
Lü Guang shrugged, lowered his head, and began fiddling with the coffee cup in his hand, looking like he didn't want to talk.
His long hair completely covered half of his face, leaving only half of it visible. His face was half-lit and half-shadowed, giving him a strange appearance.
Ling Yi noticed that the coffee cup in Lü Shouyi's (Lü Guang's ) hand was exactly the same as the coffee cup he had seen in the mirror room before.
The deceased, Li Feng, clearly suffered from severe heart disease and would likely have had to strictly control his diet, making it impossible for him to drink coffee, especially such a strong-flavored, hand-ground coffee.
Without sugar or milk, the bitterness of this stuff is something most people can't handle.
[Attention all players, the first round of evidence collection will begin in 25 minutes!]
Everyone returned to the living room and sat down on the sofas.
Compared to the previous game, the environment in this game is much better.
Not only were there soft, high-end sofas, but each person also had some Xiao Ling and drinks in front of them.
If we could play murder mystery games in realistic scripted scenarios from now on, that would be so much fun!
Conan and Qin Feng exchanged a glance. After Conan nodded, Qin Feng stood up.
Qin Feng took out some photos and documents and said, "These pictures are surveillance videos taken by the security cameras in the room. I selected some screenshots and printed them out."
Five copies of the documents were made, and Qin Feng handed them out to everyone.
This is the first batch of evidence provided in this murder mystery game.
While the others were reviewing the documents, Qin Feng continued, "According to the timeline, Mr. Lü Guang was the first to go to the restroom at 5:45 AM, and he came out at 5:48 AM."
The two pictures show Lü Guang's the Back as he enters the bathroom, and his front as Lü Guang exits.
There doesn't seem to be anything strange about it.
"At 6:37 a. m., the deceased appeared at the bathroom door, and at 6:51 a. m., walked out of the bathroom!"
There are still two pictures. The first picture is of Li Feng, wearing pajamas and with gray hair, from the Back.
However, in the second picture of Li Feng leaving the bathroom, Li Feng's expression is clearly angry, as if he is pointing at something and cursing loudly.
" My the Final Master was scolding me. I forgot to turn off the bathroom faucet, so I went back to the bathroom and turned it off," Lü Guang explained.
The last two pictures are indeed screenshots from the video of Lü Guang entering and leaving the bathroom.
However, the time was very short.
I entered at 6:52 and left at 6:53, a time interval of 22 seconds, less than half a minute.
"After that, until eight o'clock in the morning, no one went into the restroom again," Qin Feng said, taking out the fourth set of pictures.
"At 8:06, the deceased Li Feng, entered the restroom again and left about 5 minutes later. We could see that Li Feng's face looked rather unwell at this time."
Qin Feng's "ugly" appearance wasn't a description of his expression, but simply a description of his skin condition.
Moreover, he was holding a bottle of "heart medicine" in his hand, the bottle was already open, and he was talking to Lü Guang about something.
" My the Final Master had several serious heart conditions, and when he ran out of his medication, he asked me to go out and buy some."
"Is this the bottle of medicine?" Qin Feng asked, placing the unopened bottle of "heart-saving pills" on the coffee table.
"That should be true." Lü Guang nodded.
At 9:26 AM, the deceased entered the bathroom again, but this time the door was not closed!
There are five screenshots from this video. The first one is a picture of Li Feng entering the bathroom and pushing open the door.
The second picture is taken at 9:30 AM, showing Li Feng standing in front of the sink with the tap running.
The third picture is of Li Feng washing his hands, and it appears less than three seconds after the second picture.
The fourth picture is a bit strange. Li Feng is washing his hands while looking in the mirror, as if he has seen something unbelievable, with a shocked expression on his face.
In the last picture, taken at 9:45, Li Feng is still looking in the mirror, his hand still under the faucet, but his expression has become incredibly ferocious.
"In other words, the deceased stood in front of the mirror for a full 15 minutes, after which the video suddenly went black, and the rest of the surveillance footage disappeared."
Lü Shouyi said, "There was a power outage at the time, which lasted for about three minutes."
"I didn't know my the Final Master was still in the bathroom; I thought he had already gone back to his room to rest. Just then, Jiang Yunhai arrived, around 10:05."
Ling Yi nodded. "It's about time. I greatly admire Mr. Li Feng Li Feng and would like to see where he writes."
" Lü Guang then took me to the mirror room. I have to say, Mr. Li Feng is really amazing. He actually built a mirror room specifically for this novel."
"Moreover, I was very fortunate to see the manuscript of the final chapter of the novel ' Kill the Person in the Mirror '."
Ling Yi placed the manuscript on the table and said.
"This may be Mr. Li Feng's last manuscript in this world."
" Li Yunqi and I arrived at around 10:20. Because we wanted to see Mr. Li Feng as soon as possible, we didn't go to the restroom on the way. After arriving here, the first thing we went to was the restroom."
"Then Mr. Li Feng's body was discovered."
At this moment, Conan spoke up, "Based on my and Zheng Yang's preliminary deduction, the deceased died of a heart attack. At the time, a small number of purplish spots had already appeared on the deceased's body."
"Purple spots only appear when blood has clotted, so when we found the body, the deceased had already been dead for about 30 minutes."
"Based on the content of the surveillance video screenshots, it can be determined that the deceased died between approximately 9:45 AM and 10:20 AM."
Ling Yi glanced at Conan and Qin Feng. If they analyzed things from this perspective, then the two of them could be completely ruled out as suspects.
In most murder mystery games, anyone with an identity is basically a suspect, and they all have the time and motive to commit the crime.
However, in this statement, everything except Qin Feng's lie about the arrival time is true.
In other words, Zheng Yang ( Qin Feng ) and Li Yunqi ( Conan ) did not arrive at 10:20, or one of them did not arrive at 10:20.
It must have happened before that time.
" Lü Guang, are you sure Zheng Yang and Li Yunqi will arrive at 10:20?"
Since everyone was received by Lü Guang, Lü Guang must have known the arrival time of these three "fans".
Lü Shouyi nodded and said, "I'm sure, I even checked my phone at the time."
[Attention all players, the first round of evidence search has begun. All scene rooms are open. The evidence search period is 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the scene rooms will close.]
This time, the information prompt no longer has a limit on the number of pieces of evidence.
Conan was the first to stand up and say, "Let's go, let's search for evidence!"
Lü Guang's room is on the first floor, and Li Qiqi's room is on the second floor.
Conan and Qin Feng headed straight for Lü Guang's room, while Ling Yi prepared to go to the second floor.
But at this moment, Lü Shouyi called out to everyone, "Wait a minute!"
Ling Yi and the other two all looked at him.
"Before you search my and Li Qiqi's room, let's search all three of you first!"
" Jiang Yunhai, Zheng Yang, and Li Yunqi, you three are all outsiders, so their only method of searching for evidence is a body search, right?"
Ling Yi smiled wryly to himself; this Lü Shouyi was really getting smarter and smarter.
