Helian Weiwei's eyes flashed and her words were very sharp, "How can you be so sure that she didn't have suicidal thoughts?"
"I..." Chen Feiyang suddenly paused, and then continued, "I just know. Based on my understanding of her, I don't believe that she would choose to just simply decide to end her life by committing suicide."
"So you're saying that you're relying on your intuition to conclude that Dong Sichun didn't commit suicide, right?" Helian Weiwei laughed lightly and put away the torchlight. Her gaze was serious as she said, "You're lying."
Chen Feiyang's expression immediately changed.
Helian Weiwei's voice was still very slow and unhurried, "There's a reason for anyone to have a certain intuition about things, but you had an obvious pause just now. This proves that you're hiding something."
Chapter 1075 - His Highness Is So Cool
"Before I unlock the next lock, Mr. Chen, I'd like to hear what you're hiding," said Helian Weiwei with the lock in hand. She no longer had that easygoing attitude and now looked like a strong and mighty queen whose aura made it impossible for anyone to disobey her.
Chen Feiyang stood there and his eyes began to wander. It was obvious that he was hiding something.
Xiao Jingtian came out to smooth things over. "It's been so long since that incident happened, so there's no need to bring it up again. Store Owner, let's hurry up and get out of here. It's too dark here, Tingting and I are really scared."
"If you're scared because you think that Dong Sichun's ghost is here, then that's not necessary." Helian Weiwei turned her head to look at the other three. "And that's because the one who murdered Zhang Heng wasn't an evil spirit, and Dong Sichun isn't back from the dead. From the moment I came in, I didn't find any ghosts here. It's just that the decor of this place is a little scary."
Xiao Jingtian's face was full of disbelief. "You're saying that we're overthinking everything and Zhang Heng's death was simply an accident? Then..."
She obviously meant to say more after that.
However, Xiao Jingtian didn't continue. She swallowed her words and shook her head again. "That's impossible."
"Of course Zhang Heng's death was no accident." Helian Weiwei's voice was very indifferent. "Someone else took revenge for Dong Sichun. In other words, one of you is the murderer."
"What?!" Xiao Jingtian's eyes were wide open.
The others were also shocked. The expressions on their faces were exaggerated as if it was completely inconceivable that one of them was a murderer.
However, Helian Weiwei was very clear that one of them was lying and acting!
Her tone was as calm as usual. "According to what you said just now, I have basically eliminated two suspects. One of them is you, Miss Xiao, and the other is Miss Tingting. It's very obvious that the two of you didn't have a good relationship with Dong Sichun, and it can even be said that you hated her. Since that's the case, you wouldn't have thought of avenging her or anything..."
As she spoke, Helian Weiwei's gaze fell on the two boys.
Chen Feiyang was stunned.
The other boy holding the walkie-talkie was also stunned.
"Only someone who liked Dong Sichun would take revenge for her, because the murderer feels that Dong Sichun's death is directly or indirectly related to each of you." Helian Weiwei continued, "So, between the two of you, who do you think it is?"
Xiao Jingtian and the timid girl, Guo Tingting, once again widened their eyes. "How is this possible?!"
"No, I don't believe it." Guo Tingting looked at Chen Feiyang as she said these words. "Just because one of our friends died doesn't mean one of us is the murderer. There are so many traps in this room, so even if it's a homicide, the murderer is probably the shopkeeper, no?"
Helian Weiwei didn't tell them that she had already investigated the shopkeeper. Instead, she smiled and said, "You're right. The shopkeeper could also be the murderer. "
"I knew it." Guo Tingting seemed to be relieved.
Helian Weiwei asked another question, "But if the shopkeeper is the murderer, then what is his motive for killing?"
Guo Tingting was stunned because she could not answer that question at all.
Helian Weiwei looked back at Chen Feiyang. "So, Mr. Chen, if you don't explain exactly what you're hiding, I will very likely think that you are the murderer of Zhang Heng."
Chen Feiyang's face turned pale. "Do you think that we will believe you just because you said so? It's so dark here, how can you kill someone? Isn't your imagination a little too wild?"
"This isn't my imagination." Helian Weiwei smiled. "As for how Zhang Heng was killed, I believe that we will be able to find it in the next stage."
Chen Feiyang did not back down. "Your analysis so far seems logical, but did you know that all of us were in a separate room from Zhang Heng at that time? We were in another room, so how could we kill him that way? Kill him through a wall?"
"Of course not." Helian Weiwei used her flashlight to scan the surroundings. "In all murder cases involving escape rooms, the murderer has to rely on a lot of these trap mechanisms. There are so many traps here, so any modifications to it will turn it into a murder weapon. Mr. Chen, three of you are in scientific research, and you've all studied some modules in mechanical engineering, so I'm sure simple modifications to mechanisms wouldn't prove too difficult to any of you, right?"
Chen Feiyang shook his head. "You've really read too many novels, so your imagination has really gone wild. Zhang Heng and I have always been on good terms, so why would I kill him? If you really want to know why I'm so sure that Sichun didn't kill herself, I'll tell you. After the police questioned us, I happened to hear that the police suspected that Sichun didn't kill herself, because there are usually warning signs before someone commits suicide. She had found a good internship position and was going to report to work the next day. She even happily called all of us out for a meal the day before to say that she had gotten a position in a really good company. Jingtian knows this company very well - it's one of the biggest local companies, Xiao Group."
"Is this true? " Helian Weiwei turned her head and asked Xiao Jingtian.
Xiao Jingtian's face suddenly stiffened and a strange and extremely complicated look flashed in her eyes. The hands by her side were slowly clenched as well. "That's right."
Helian Weiwei noticed her unusual reaction and went into deep thought.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-anarchic-consort_11046205305246905/his-highness-is-so-cool_50925417128839199 for visiting.
Everyone here seemed simple, but they were all hiding different thoughts inside.
And when these little thoughts were linked together, they would form an answer.
But none of them was willing to tell the truth.
"You all knew about this?" Helian Weiwei asked again.
Guo Tingting and the other boy also nodded.
"When we ate together that day, Dong Sichun even bragged to us about her salary," Guo Tingting made a disdainful face. "She said that she was going to earn $100,000 a month just after graduation, and she got a position in the CEO's office. She even said that her job would be very relaxing and told us not to be too envious of her. I suppose she was trying to show off to Jingtian, since Jingtian's research was much better than hers, so she wanted to get a higher salary than Jingtian. I'd bet that woman never imagined that no matter how much money she earned, she was actually working for Jingtian's family business."
A graduate student who had just graduated was given a job in the CEO's office?
Moreover, this graduate student's studies wasn't even considered outstanding.
Besides, didn't a monthly salary of $100,000 sound a bit too high?
Helian Weiwei wasn't familiar with this because she had always been self-employed and had never worked for others before. She could only turn around and ask Baili Jiajue, "Jue, how much s
alary do you give PA Long each month?"
Baili Jiajue raised his eyes to look at her and gently tilted his head. His black fingers pressed on his thin lips and rubbed them a few times before he curled the corners of his lips into a strange smile and gave Helian Weiwei an answer, "It seems he's never asked for salary."
Chapter 1076 - My Master Would Be Jealous
Helian Weiwei was speechless.
She shouldn't have asked him this question.
After all, those who followed after His Highness was a bunch of eager and passionate beasts whose loyalty could be proved by their daily actions. So it was true that they wouldn't need to be paid.
"But if I were in charge, I wouldn't put a woman in the CEO's office." Baili Jiajue's figure hadn't changed and he was still a head shorter than Helian Weiwei, but his tone was very imposing.
"Why?" Helian Weiwei originally thought that he would say something about Dong Sichun's capabilities, since she would have only just graduated and wouldn't be suitable to work directly for the CEO.
But Baili Jiajue just let out a low laugh. He looked at her with his deep eyes and spoke in a bewitching voice, "Because I'm worried that my master will be jealous."
What was this feeling of being teased?!
Helian Weiwei coughed lightly. Something like that would bother her slightly, but she was quite sure that Baili Jiajue wouldn't do something like keep a secretary as a mistress.
A beautiful female university student.
She had no background and no experience, but she got a position in the CEO's office.
This was very abnormal.
Helian Weiwei didn't know if she was thinking too much, so she looked towards Xiao Jingtian. "This is your father's company. Do you know how Dong Sichun managed to be assigned to such an important position within the CEO's office?"
"I have never been familiar with the matters in father's company." Xiao Jingtian's expression was a bit stiff, as if she didn't like to talk about this matter.
Helian Weiwei saw her reaction and casually asked again, "What about your mother? She doesn't know about this matter either?"
"Miss Helian!" It seemed like Helian Weiwei had hit a sore spot of Xiao Jingtian's and her reaction became more agitated. "Why are you always asking about unimportant things? We hired you to help us solve this problem. What does this have to do with my mother?"
Helian Weiwei's gaze was indifferent. "If it has nothing to do with your mother, then why are you so agitated?"
"I just don't understand why you're asking these questions." After Xiao Jingtian took a deep breath and calmed down a little, she looked at Helian Weiwei and appeared a little fragile. "I'm sorry, I lost my composure a little. My mother doesn't know anything. Don't drag her into this."
Helian Weiwei looked deeply at Xiao Jingtian. "Okay, in that case, I'd like to ask you a direct question. Was there any unspeakable relationship between your father and Dong Sichun?"
"What did you say?!"
Xiao Jingtian still hadn't said anything.
It was Chen Feiyang and the other boy who shouted at the same time!
Helian Weiwei turned to look at the two boys and smiled faintly. "Very good, that's the reaction I was looking for. Looks like both of you really care a lot about Dong Sichun."
"It's not about whether we care or not!" Chen Feiyang's eyes were red. "How could you insult others like that?! What unspeakable relationship? You've been spouting nonsense right from the beginning!"
Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows. "Spouting nonsense? Mr. Chen, let me remind you, it's up to Miss Xiao to determine if I've been spouting nonsense, not you."
"Ha, this is simply impossible, you... "
"She's right. Xiao Jingtian looked up, and in that instant, her hatred surpassed any fear she had earlier. "That day, I went to my father's company and saw the two of them in his office...Tsk, I've never seen someone as cheap as Dong Sichun before. It's true that she liked Chen Feiyang, but she preferred men who could offer her more benefits like my father. She was such a cheap woman, but you guys treated her like a princess and thought she was so wonderful. What a joke. Are all men so stupid? Regardless of whether it was you two or my father, all of you were easily manipulated by her and you all thought she was so pure and innocent. What a joke. She was so obviously vain and materialistic, but you couldn't tell?"
Chen Feiyang was shocked by these words. He saw the tears falling from Xiao Jingtian's eyes and looked like he wanted to say something.
But Xiao Jingtian didn't look at him. She turned away and took a deep breath. "I've said all that needs to be said. What else does Miss Helian want to ask?"
"Did the police know about these things?" Helian Weiwei's tone remained flat.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-anarchic-consort_11046205305246905/my-master-would-be-jealous_50925418185807731 for visiting.
Xiao Jingtian frowned. "Yes, they asked me about these things."
"Okay, I've got it." Helian Weiwei turned back to the rest of them. "I said earlier that someone wants to avenge Dong Sichun, and this person liked Dong Sichun to the point where you can say he's very obstinate. Of course, I'm not sure if he knew what sort of person Dong Sichun realy was or not, but it's very obvious that he doesn't intend to stop at killing one person. He killed Zhang Heng first, then he started stalking and observing the rest of you as well. That's why all of you feel like there's a ghost around you, but actually it's not Dong Sichun who's come back to haunt you. It's a real person sneaking about all of you and he's prepared to kill off a second person whom he thinks is unforgivable in this escape room."
When she came to this point, Helian Weiwei paused for a moment. "If I'm not wrong, Miss Xiao, the next person he wants to kill is you. That's why your suspicions are the strongest."
Xiao Jingtian immediately froze. "That's impossible."
"Why is it impossible?" Helian Weiwei glanced at Chen Feiyang. "Did you think that the murderer wouldn't come to kill you for Dong Sichun's sake?"
Xiao Jingtian's entire body trembled, and then she laughed bitterly. "No, I was thinking too much. It's very likely that he would kill me for Dong Sichun's sake."
"And who is he?" Helian Weiwei's question was very direct.
Xiao Jingtian didn't respond.
Helian Weiwei's voice was very faint. "Or perhaps you can tell me who you think the murderer is?"
"I don't want to say it." Xiao Jingtian's left hand drooped down weakly, and she pressed her other hand against her forehead.
Helian Weiwei didn't continue to ask and actually took a step back.
It wasn't because of something in the room, but because Xiao Jingtian was behaving a lot like the way she did back then.
That kind of torment.
It was as if nobody could understand her.
It was the pain of knowing that her father cheated on her mother, but in order to protect her mother, she pretended not to know anything.
In addition, the boy she liked might even kill her for the sake of her father's mistress.
It was probably very painful.
Perhaps it was so painful that she wished she was dead.
But up until now, Helian Weiwei still hadn't found any conclusive evidence to prove that Chen Feiyang was the murderer.
So she wasn't going to make any conclusion.
Guo Tingting couldn't accept such this situation. Her eyes looked unsteadily at Helian Weiwei and even her voice was trembling. "You mean, he still wants to kill a second person for the sake of that s.l.u.t?"
"Since he could kill the first person in this escape room, then he can kill a second person..."
Chapter 1077 - Unexpected
Helian Weiwei reminded Guo Tingting, "Don't forget, when we passed the third stage, the recorded voice mentioned that until now, none of you know what sin you have committed. That means he's not going to stop his crimes, because to him
, Dong Sichun's death has something to do with each one of you, and he still hates all of you."
"What you're saying is too terrifying." Guo Tingting's entire body trembled. "He still wants to kill a second person here? How could he do that in front of everyone?"
Helian Weiwei's voice was very indifferent. "When Zhang Heng died, wasn't it also in front of everyone?"
"No, I still don't believe it." Guo Tingting bit her lip. "There must be some misunderstanding."
Helian Weiwei looked at her. "There is no misunderstanding. I have a guess in my heart, but it's not convenient to tell you guys now. Let's go to the next stage first because there still something I need to find in order to confirm who the murderer is."
"Of course, I'm also here to warn the murderer, don't dream of making a move in front of me." Helian Weiwei picked up the iron lock, turned around and said, "Be careful, you'll lose more than you gain."
The expressions of the two boys were different, but they looked at Helian Weiwei with the same unwillingness.
Helian Weiwei laughed lightly, as if she didn't care what kind of gaze they were looking at her with. Dong Si Chun jumped off the building on April 17th.
The things in this room pointed to the time.
That meant that the password to unlocking the lock on the rooftop was Dong Sichun's death anniversary, 0417.
Kacha!
The lock on the door was unlocked and a sliding door wooden closet popped out. Once a person entered the wooden cabinet, they could use their arms to support the wall and enter the next part of the room.
The wooden closet wasn't very big. At most, it could only accommodate one person.
In other words, when they reached this position, they had to pass through one by one.
Helian Weiwei's eyes narrowed. "Who was the first one to enter this wooden closet the last time?"
"Me. " Chen Feiyang stood out. "The last time we were here, I was the first one."
Helian Weiwei smiled. "Not all of you went in, right?"
"That's right. Only myself, Zhang Heng and Xiaodong went in." Chen Feiyang sneered. "What are you thinking about now?"
