He had originally planned to deceive them by hiding or destroying his "evidence," but now it seems that won't work.

Although Ling Yi wasn't the murderer in this round, and his "evidence" only proved his motive, it's better to avoid trouble.

"Come on!" Ling Yi opened his arms.

Then he saw Huang Rong walking towards him.

Ling Yi clearly saw a hint of curiosity and amusement in her eyes.

Seeing Huang Rong search for Ling Yi, Lü Shouyi chuckled twice and went straight to search for Conan and Qin Feng.

"Are you the murderer?" Huang Rong walked up to Ling Yi Ling Yi, looked up at him, and asked.

Ling Yi was a head taller than Huang Rong, so when Huang Rong looked at Ling Yi up close, she could only look up at him.

"If you ask that, does that mean you're the murderer in this round?"

"Just a little short," Huang Rong said, shaking her head.

"Then I'm actually interested in the story between you and Li Feng."

"Hmph, they always give me this kind of lousy plot and lousy identity. I feel like the Game Space is doing this on purpose."

"Put your hands up, I'm going to search for evidence!"

Ling Yi raised his arms in a gesture that looked as if he were about to embrace Huang Rong.

Huang Rong then began rummaging through Ling Yi's pockets.

For some reason, looking at the ponytail swaying in front of him, Ling Yi felt an inexplicable urge to pull it.

Soon, Huang Rong took a piece of fishing line from Ling Yi's pocket.

"I've got what I wanted! You're the murderer, hehe!" Huang Rong showed Ling Yi the fishing line, her eyes narrowing into slits with delight.

"Like you, I almost became a murderer."

"Really? Then I'm just as interested in your story."

After Huang Rong finished speaking, she turned and left, heading straight for Lü Guang's room.

It seems Huang Rong really wants to win!

Lü Shouyi also made a discovery; he found a takeout receipt on Qin Feng.

Two letters of authorization were found on Conan.

"Are you a detective?" Lü Shouyi asked in surprise after reading the identities on the two letters of commission.

"Let's talk about that after we've finished collecting the evidence!" Conan nodded and went straight upstairs.

Qin Feng and Ling Yi had already entered Lü Guang's room.

Lü Guang's room had bookshelves covering an entire wall, filled with various famous works from both China and abroad.

Horror and mystery novels are the most numerous among them.

In the corner of the room, near the window, there was a desk with the first five volumes of the serialized novel, " Kill the Person in the Mirror," on it.

Qin Feng is currently examining the desk, but it seems he hasn't found anything.

Meanwhile, Huang Rong is wrestling with the bed by tearing the house apart.

The blankets, pillows, bed frame, and even the space under the bed were turned into a robbery scene in the blink of an eye.

After finding nothing, they went to wreak havoc on the wardrobe again.

Ling Yi didn't take action immediately, but instead carefully examined the entire room.

Air conditioner, curtains, flower pots, wardrobe, bookshelf, shoe cabinet, bedside table...

After looking around, Ling Yi went straight to the desk.

On the desk was another stack of completed manuscripts, the manuscript of a new novel.

The novel is titled " I Am the Person in the Mirror "!

Ling Yi grabbed the stack of manuscripts and the five novels, turned around and left the room.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

Following the game's prompts, everyone returned to the living room.

Conan shrugged. "Nothing to show for it."

Qin Feng and Huang Rong also shook their heads; they hadn't found any useful clues either.

Lü Shouyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also shrugged and shook his head.

He and Conan had previously gone to Li Qiqi's room on the second floor.

"Was it this difficult this time?" Huang Rong pouted, clearly dissatisfied with the result.

But then he chuckled, took out the fishing line, and said to Ling Yi, " Jiang Yunhai, it's time for a story!"

Ling Yi shrugged; he had never even considered hiding it.

"My sister is Jiang Yunmei, one of the victims in the urban Legend of the Person in the Mirror kills people." At this point, Ling Yi looked at Qin Feng.

"Your sister's name is Zheng Wen, right?"

"Yes!" Qin Feng ( Zheng Yang ) nodded.

Zheng Wen is the second victim of the urban Legend of the Person in the Mirror.

The novel * Kill the Person in the Mirror * became so popular because it is directly related to these two urban Legend.

Without the added bonus of urban Legend, this novel wouldn't have become so popular.

"Then Li Yunqi shouldn't be your real name. Your real name is Yao Tuohai!" Ling Yi then looked at Conan.

"Yes!" Conan nodded.

"You are all my clients!" Conan pointed at Ling Yi and Qin Feng.

"So, you accepted tasks from both me and Zheng Yang at the same time?"

Yao Tuohai is a detective. In Ling Yi's script, Jiang Yunhai hires Yao Tuohai, a private detective, to investigate the cause of death of his sister, Jiang Yunmei.

Zheng Yang probably felt the same way as him.

Jiang Yunhai and Zheng Yang both suspected that Li Feng was the controller of the two urban Legend and the murderer who killed Jiang Yunmei and Zheng Wen, who were married to each other.

But they had no evidence.

Therefore, they also hired Yao Tuohai, a private detective, who is also known as Conan.

"I gave Li Yunqi sum of money and replaced his identity," Conan explained.

"So what did you find out?"

"According to my investigation, Jiang Yunmei and Zheng Wen are both Li Feng's girlfriends!" Conan paused, then added, "Secret girlfriends!"

"They are all die-hard fans of ' Kill the Person in the Mirror ' and fans of Li Feng. Five months ago, Jiang Yunmei became pregnant, and since then, Jiang Yunmei condition has been deteriorating."

Ling Yi nodded, then frowned and said, "Yes, back then, my sister seemed to be under some kind of spell, constantly saying that Person in the Mirror wanted to kill her."

"This incident caused quite a stir. At first, only people in our neighborhood knew about it, Later it was posted online."

"I took my sister to the hospital for a checkup, but they found nothing wrong. She's still going to continue livestreaming every day."

Jiang Yunhai's sister, Jiang Yunmei, and Zheng Yang's sister Zheng Wen, are both very beautiful and are live streamers with a large online following.

"Among Jiang Yunmei and Zheng Wen's fans, there's a common number one supporter, whose ID is 'Person in the Mirror,' which is Li Feng's account," Conan added.

" Li Feng also got in touch with them in this way, and they gradually developed into secret lovers."

But they didn't know each other.

Four months ago, Jiang Yunmei was killed in a live stream by what she called a " Person in the Mirror." Three months ago, Zheng Wen was also killed in a live stream by a " Person in the Mirror " in the same way!

" Li Feng is the murderer, but I haven't found any evidence!"

"But unexpectedly, Li Feng died."

"And, he died in the same way."

At this point, Conan glanced at Lü Shouyi and Huang Rong and said, "Actually, I've never understood how the Person in the Mirror came out and killed others."

"Until..."

Conan said, pointing to the half-full bag of powder on the table.

"R5, perhaps that's the answer."

In fact, at this point, the manner of death of Jiang Yunmei, Zheng Wen, and Li Feng has been basically determined.

It must be related to this mysterious R5 potion, but the specific details are still unknown.

And that is the key to solving the case.

Or rather, the key to finding the murderer.

"So, the murderer is either Lü Guang or Li Qiqi, who both know the effects of R5, right?" Ling Yi asked.

Qin Feng and Conan nodded simultaneously.

"Who the murderer is doesn't matter. I want to hear the story now. Come on, Jiang Yunhai, how do you explain this piece of fishing line?" Huang Rong said, gesturing with the fishing line in her hand.

In fact, Central City already knew who the murderer was.

This is another case, just like Meng Sanchun in the previous round, where the deceased was a character that was disliked and despised.

Everyone carried a weapon and had their own method of committing the crime.

Each of these methods could actually kill the murderer.

It's simply a matter of who ultimately makes the move, or who has the opportunity to do so.

"Since you want to hear the story, let's start from the beginning!" Ling Yi picked up a small cake from the table, about to put it in his mouth, but then he remembered Li Feng's death and immediately lost his appetite.

After putting it back on the table, he said, "When Li Feng released the announcement that he would be giving away three fans to his home, I knew that my chance to avenge my sister had come."

"Did you know that I easily bought a spot by spending only 50,000 yuan!"

"Then I got ripped off! I spent 100,000!" Qin Feng said.

Everyone was speechless. Li Feng was, after all, a well-known author, and his novel, " Kill the Person in the Mirror," sold very well.

With other third-party and peripheral income, Li Feng must have a net worth of at least 100 million yuan from this novel.

They wouldn't even let go of such Little Qian.

"Doesn't Li Feng know your identities?" Huang Rong asked.

"We're not stupid; we definitely used a screen name when we communicated with him."

"Actually, I never knew how to kill Li Feng. Even on the way here, I hadn't come up with a plan. After all, I'm just an ordinary person."

"Just before entering the gate, I happened to see a piece of fishing line in the trunk, so I casually stuffed it into my pocket."

"Around 10 o'clock, I came out of the mirror room. The main entrance of the mirror room was directly facing the direction of the bathroom, and I immediately saw Li Feng standing in front of the mirror."

"I didn't think much of it at the time and rushed into the bathroom. I was so nervous that I didn't notice anything unusual about Li Feng."

"I went straight behind him, intending to strangle Li Feng with fishing line, but at that moment, I finally realized something was wrong."

" Li Feng showed no signs of struggling at first, and that's when I realized he was already dead."

Ling Yi recalled the script in his mind and said.

"But just then, I Hear footsteps coming downstairs."

"I hurriedly reeled in the fishing line, but because I pulled too hard, I stumbled and, combined with the force of the pull, ended up hanging Li Feng on the clothes rack."

"I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid in the bathroom and dared not make a sound."

At this point, Ling Yi looked at Huang Rong.

About three minutes later, I heard a gasp, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground.

"Then came the sound of someone hurriedly leaving and rushing upstairs."

"I don't know what happened during this process."

"After waiting for about half a minute, I left the bathroom, closed the door, and returned to the mirror room."

Everyone looked at Huang Rong.
