37: Chapter 37 Another Murder Case_1 37: Chapter 37 Another Murder Case_1 “This is troubling…”

While looking at the list and the map in his hand, Mu You leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples in consternation.

“What’s puzzling you?” A soft voice echoed through the room.

Mu You opened his eyes.

At six in the evening, closing ti drew near, and there were no custors left in the store.

Little Ya had even left to take a walk due to the lack of business.

Only he and Lin Xue were left in the store.

Lin Xue sat on a wooden chair by the window, bathed in the setting sun.

There was a dical book on her lap, which she was perusing calmly.

An idea ca to Mu You: “Little Snow, have you ever played Werewolf?”

“No.”

Lin Xue glanced at him and adjusted her glasses, “But I’ve watched so videos.

I know the rules.”

“So, in a ga of Werewolf where there’s neither a witch nor a seer, how could the Good People Faction identify the werewolf?” Mu You candidly presented this puzzle to Lin Xue, curious about how this intellectual powerhouse might answer.

“No witch, no seer…”

Lin Xue found this question unusual.

After pondering for a mont, she shook her head, “Under the normal rules, I’m afraid that’s unsolvable.”

“Really?”

“The essence of Werewolf is an asymtric information ga.

In such gas, a logical initiator is needed as a starting point.

The abilities of the witch and the seer are the only two sources of information the Good People Faction has.

Without these two roles, the entire ga lacks a logical starting point.

Everyone can claim ‘I’m a good person’, and then the ga becos a stagnant guessing ga.

If the werewolves do not make a mistake, the good people are destined to lose.” Lin Xue finished her statent in her usual composed tone.

“…”

Mu You was taken aback.

He had asked casually, but Lin Xue delivered such a professional analysis.

But… it was of no use!

A long analysis that concluded as unsolvable.

It didn’t solve anything, rely helped him understand the gravity of the situation he faced.

“Do I have to give up on this then…”

Mu You shook his head in bitter laughter.

Stuck in a deadlock in the ga, he would now have to confront the werewolves in reality, which undoubtedly increased the danger for him.

“Actually, that’s not the case.” All of a sudden, Lin Xue spoke again.

“What?”

“If the Good People Faction rely wants to win, there are actually two thods,” Lin Xue said.

“What?”

Mu You was quite astonished.

An unsolvable issue, and yet Lin Xue claid to have solutions, two of them?

“What are they?”

“First, if there are at least two skilled debaters within the Good People Faction, they can use their verbal skills to maneuver the werewolves into revealing themselves logically,” Lin Xue elaborated.

“I see…”

Upon hearing this, Mu You frowned and then shook his head.

This thod wouldn’t work for him, because there’s no avenue for communication among players in the ga.

If communicating with other NPCs is already a struggle, how could he possibly unravel the identity of the werewolves?

“And the second one?”

“The second one is easier.

The Good People Faction could keep their eyes open when the werewolves are active at night.

The ones who don’t close their eyes would be the werewolves…” Lin Xue added.

“That’s cheating…”

Mu You couldn’t help but chuckle.

He hadn’t expected Lin Xue, who usually maintained a serious deanor, to suggest such a ‘humorous’ solution.

“Let it be.

Anyway, the werewolf in the ga can’t do anything to for now…”

Mu You stretched languidly, deciding not to fret over this unsolvable issue anymore.

“Wee- waa wee- waa…”

Suddenly, the sound of sirens echoed from outside.

Mu You instinctively looked out and saw police cars roaring down the street.

At least seven or eight police cars sped past.

“What’s going on?”

Mu You wondered aloud, and he was about to go outside and investigate.

“Water, water!

Who wants a drink?”

Little Ya suddenly walked in, holding a bag of chilled drinks and handing a bottle to each of them before they could refuse.

“Thank you.” Lin Xue thanked her politely and accepted the drink.

“Thank you… Little Ya, what happened outside?” Mu You hurriedly asked.

“Oh, I was about to tell you.

People are saying that soone was murdered in the nearby residential complex.

Lots of cops went in, it was frightening!” Little Ya spoke with residual fear.

“A murder?” Mu You was shocked.

Similarly surprised, Lin Xue looked up from her book.

“Yes, people in the neighborhood are talking about it.

The incident occurred in Rainbow Bay Apartnts’ building 39, not far from my house.

All residents of that building ran out in fear.

The building was sealed off by the police, with a lot of tape stuck all over.

The cops should be investigating inside now.” Little Ya explained.

On hearing this, Mu You’s expression grew serious as he rembered the two player murders committed three months ago.

Could this be…

“By the way, who was the victim?” Mu You inquired hurriedly.

“What?”

Caught unawares by the question, Little Ya quickly looked through her phone, scrolling through the WeChat group chat.

“Ah, the victim was a young woman living alone.

She had been dead for almost a day before soone discovered the body.

So tragic…”

“A woman?

Are you sure?”

“Absolutely, it says so in the chat.

Look.” Little Ya quickly showed her phone to Mu You.

Mu You took the phone and skimd through the chat records.

According to those who claid to know the facts in the group, the victim was a woman in her twenties, a singleton, likely an office worker.

The incident seemingly happened last night, but no one heard any screams.

It was only discovered today when the blood precipitated a police report.

“Could it be that the ‘Little Girl’ player was also discovered by the werewolf and was murdered at ho?” Mu You imdiately entertained this possibility.

Regrettably, the chat was filled with bits and pieces of information.

The so-called ‘inford’ group mbers were vague about the actual situation and didn’t specify the cause of death.

It was impossible to ascertain whether it was the work of the werewolf.

“It seems that I really have to go to the scene myself…” Mu You thought.

The confird case details would presumably only be released by the police.

However, if it truly involved the werewolf, the specific details might be omitted from the police announcent.

The only option was to investigate it himself…

Deciding on this, Mu You didn’t hesitate.

He quickly went upstairs, packed his equipnt into his bag, zipped it up and returned downstairs.

“Boss, you’re heading out again?” Little Ya noticed Mu You’s readiness to leave.

“Yes, I have sothing to do.

Oh, there weren’t many custors today, you guys should head ho early…

Rember to lock the door when you leave.” Mu You left these instructions and promptly exited the door.

“Okay…”

Little Ya stood at the door, watching Mu You’s rapidly disappearing figure, feeling a bit dazed, “Why the rush?”

At this mont, Lin Xue quietly walked up to Little Ya, scanned the streets outside, and after so thought, asked, “Has your boss… done anything strange recently?”
