There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game Chapter 717: 615: The Bartender: Prepared Four Faces

Chapter 717: Chapter 615: The Bartender: Prepared Four Faces

In the narrow alleyway.

The two were indeed just talking.

Xu Shuo propped his chin, seemingly troubled, “However, how exactly did you use lipstick to kill? Could you elaborate?”

The masked man’s mouth twitched, “How would I know, I’m not…”

He was about to say he wasn’t the killer, but before he could finish, he saw the young man raise a finger to his lips, seemingly signaling him to be silent.

Rembering that he was still playing the role-playing ga with this person, the masked man held back, but still said stubbornly, “Since you seem to know it so well, why don’t you tell it?”

...

Xu Shuo smiled, “Then I shall tell it.”

He even pretended to ponder for a mont, before continuing, “The lipstick was modified by you using a neurotoxin. You had Jenny apply it every day, so that anyone who kissed her would unwittingly ingest a bit of the poison. Most of those custors lingered in the bar, and after drinking the special cocktails you mixed for them, the combination would lead to poisoning. However, this also ant the onset of the poisoning to be delayed, usually taking four to five days. Do you think I’m right?”

The masked man listened quietly. After the initial shock and panic passed, he was much calr.

Besides thinking of ways to escape, as he listened to the young man’s words, he also pondered the purpose behind them.

Was he trying to get the masked man to admit to the cri?

But that would be useless.

In the most fair and just Midtown District, without decisive evidence, all suggestive questioning could not be considered evidence.

Forced confessions were even more untenable in the Midtown District.

Otherwise, wouldn’t any case be solved by simply having soone act as the murderer in a dialogue?

Too naive!

The masked man thought to himself and responded, “Your theory makes so sense.”

He didn’t directly admit to “yes” or “no.”

Who knew that Xu Shuo would suddenly exclaim in surprise, “You actually think that’s correct? Even I feel like this deduction is far-fetched. After all, custors surely choose their own drinks, and no matter how skilled a bartender is, they can’t control what drinks the custors should have, right?”

The masked man: “…”

At that mont, Xu Shuo frowned again, “You couldn’t be just humoring , could you?”

The masked man: “…”

He looked at the young man, feeling the doubt in his eyes didn’t seem feigned.

And it seed he was indeed getting angry at being humored, watching him with eyes that had turned hostile, resembling those of an unreasonably fussy child.

But you’re the one who made pretend to be the killer in your ga, so I’m not allowed a bit of humoring, am I?

The masked man inwardly complained, but didn’t dare to retort.

So he could only go along, “Maybe the bartender put sothing else in every drink?”

Xu Shuo tilted his head, “How could that be possible? The surveillance would clearly see his position. If sothing was added while mixing the drink, it would definitely be discovered. If you’re going to humor , at least don’t make such a foolish guess.”

The masked man: “…”, for fuck’s sake.

The masked man felt that this person was just making fun of him. Suppressing the rage in his chest, he spoke in a low, resigned voice, “I don’t know then, those are all the thoughts I have.”

“No, that’s not acceptable.”

Xu Shuo looked at him, the smile gone from his eyes, “You must co up with a thod that satisfies , otherwise this ga ends prematurely.”

The masked man’s fists tensed slightly.

He suddenly said, “Maybe Miss Jenny did sothing, why don’t you suspect her at all?”

Xu Shuo’s smile returned, “How could you suspect such an innocent and pure Miss Jenny? She absolutely couldn’t be the one committing these acts. Miss Jenny is the least suspicious person, and I hope you won’t say such things again.”

The young man’s tone was decisive, even carrying a hint of admiration for Jenny, and a sense of accusation and threat in his words.

This made the masked man montarily stunned.

He took another stealthy look at the enigmatic young man, beginning to doubt his earlier assumptions about this person’s identity.

He had previously thought that this person was a player who had used a Character Card, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for them to use supernatural abilities in this reality-based ga.

And the person he suspected was naturally Inspector Berrod from the Luona District.

But now, this young man’s style of doing things was so different from Inspector Berrod that the masked man was thoroughly confused.

He thought for a while and ventured, “But still, all these people died after coming into contact with Miss Jenny. Although the bar owner says Jenny is her daughter, what if, what if Miss Jenny actually has another identity, like…”

Like so psychopathic shark person or sothing?

But before the masked man could finish, he felt a sense of danger from all directions, sending a shiver down his spine!

It seed as if just one more bad word about Miss Jenny would lead to his being torn to shreds!

This sense of threat was palpably real!

The masked man fell into silence.

And Xu Shuo watched him with a smile, saying, “Miss Jenny will not be a suspect, do you understand?”

The masked man nodded, “I understand.”

Xu Shuo continued, “Now, continue thinking of other thods.”

The masked man was speechless.

The atmosphere in the alley grew silent.

The masked man’s expression changed constantly; he thought of many escape plans but did not dare to act rashly because he didn’t understand the mysterious person’s Character Card abilities.

Until Xu Shuo clicked his tongue in impatience, “Haven’t thought of anything yet?”
