  Helian Weiwei tapped the wooden closet with her finger. "Zhang Heng was killed at this stage. Only those who went in had the chance to make a move."

  "So you still think that one of us is the murderer?" Chen Feiyang continued to sneer. "Just because Sichun died, we're going to kill all our friends? Don't you think that saying this is too far-fetched?"

  "Mr. Chen." Helian Weiwei interrupted Chen Feiyang's words. "What if Dong Sichun didn't commit suicide and it turned out to be a homicide? Wouldn't the murderer have a reason to kill in order to avenge her?"

  Everyone was shocked by Helian Weiwei's words.

  Guo Tingting and Xiao Jingtian in particular, looked at each other and saw the same expression on each other's faces.

  "A homicide? You mean someone killed Sichun?" The boy holding the walkie-talkie's eyes started to shake.

  Helian Weiwei's voice remained calm. "That's right. Since the police gathered information from all of you, it means that someone discovered something from all this information. It's very simple, really. The police wanted to ask all of you questions because they suspected that Dong Sichun's death was a homicide and not a suicide, but they didn't blow it up at the request of the school and an influential company like Xiao Group. Since someone died in the school itself, calling it a suicide would make it sound less horrifying than a homicide, and they would only need to comfort the family without attracting any attention from the media. The police would also try not to think about the possibility of a homicide, and they would need very concrete evidence to call it a homicide. That night, Dong Sichun's roommate, Guo Tingting, didn't tell the one in charge of the hostel that her roommate hadn't come back yet, and between Dong Sichun's death and the discovery of her body, six hours lapsed. Even if there was evidence on the rooftop, the murderer would have removed everything by then. So even though the police concluded that it was a suicide, the police files probably have other details that made them think it was a homicide."

  "I don't understand anymore. What you're saying is that the murderer killed Dong Sichun, then killed Zhang Heng?" Guo Tingting's eyes were a little dazed as she said these words.

  Helian Weiwei had a headache and pressed her forehead. It was indeed tiring to talk to people who did not have good reasoning powers.

  However, there was a crucial secret that she had only just found out about!

  "The person who killed Dong Sichun and the person who killed Zhang Heng are not the same person. This is a case within a case." Helian Weiwei's sharp gaze swept over everyone.

  Guo Tingting felt a little scared. "Case within a case?"

  "TO put it simply, someone guessed from whatever he heard from the police that one of you murdered Dong Sichun, so he started hating all of you and wanted to find a chance to kill all of you but couldn't find the right chance to do so until you guys decided to come to this escape room, so he found a seamless way of killing you guys. Besides, this person knows that all of you are feeling guilty inside because of Dong Sichun, and he used this to make all of you live in fear of an imaginary danger while planning how to kill all of you. To the murderer, the one who's most afraid of Dong Sichun's haunting would be the most suspicious. So during this time, he observed all of you and concluded that it was Zhang Heng, but he also soon realized he had killed the wrong person, because Zhang Heng wasn't the one who killed Dong Sichun back then."

  Helian Weiwei paused for a moment. "In other words, right now there are two murderers hidden among you, one is the person who killed Dong Sichun and the other is the person who killed Zhang Heng."

  "This is too absurd! " Chen Feiyang was the first person to growl.

  The other three people also looked as if they had been punched by someone. They looked at each other warily.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-anarchic-consort_11046205305246905/unexpected_50925419007888842 for visiting.

  Was Helian Weiwei's guess too frightening?

  But where did this strange and inexplicable feeling come from?

  Helian Weiwei laughed lightly. "Whether this explanation is absurd or not, we'll know once we walk through this closet. But since the murderer is so clever and is so familiar with all the traps inside this place, it will be dangerous for the person who walks in alone. In order to prevent anything bad from happening, as the person hired by all of you, I will go into this closet first, the rest of you can wait outside."

  "Even I have to wait outside?" Baili Jiajue, who had not spoken all this time, raised his head and looked deeply at Helian Weiwei. That pair of beautiful eyes made it impossible for people to refuse him.

  Helian Weiwei stretched out her hand and pointed at the closet. "Only one person can enter at a time."

  "Then I'll go in. You wait outside."

  Chapter 1078 - His Highness Teases Weiwei

  Even though he was in his cutesy form now, he was still domineering in attitude when he wanted to. He smiled in a sinister manner. "If you don't want to come back out to a pile of dead bodies, then you can go in first."

  What he meant was that it was very likely that he would become impatient and kill all these humans here.

  After all, these two days weren't very pleasant for him either.

  Helian Weiwei looked at Baili Jiajue. She knew very well that he was capable of doing exactly what he said, so she sighed and said, "Then you be a little more careful. Pay attention to the surrounding mechanisms."

  "Okay." Baili Jiajue smiled again, but this time his eyes curved like crescent moons and gave off a completely different aura from before.

  From a certain point of view, he was just a child.

  Helian Weiwei rubbed her chin. This made her even more determined to get the other party drunk at night!

  Xiao Jingtian really didn't understand. Wasn't Baili Jiajue scared at all?

  "Exactly how much money did she give you to make you work so hard for her?"

  Baili Jiajue didn't even look at her. The corners of his mouth curled up halfway into a seemingly mocking smile.

  What did Helian Weiwei mean to him?

  That's right.

  What did she mean to him?

  Xiao Jingtian no longer believed in love.

  Her father's actions and her boyfriend's betrayal.

  All of her feelings had been completely destroyed on that day.

  But why, when she saw these two...

  She felt angry and upset, but also hoped that these two would be different from all the people she had seen before.

  Finally, at the moment Baili Jiajue decided to take the lead and walked into the closet...

  She understood that feeling she had wasn't hate.

  Because she was very clear that this fengshui master and Dong Sichun weren't the same kind of person.

  The way that Helian Weiwei looked at Baili Jiajue was just like how her mother looked at her father back then.

  How many people would choose to take the risk in a life and death situation and make sure the girl they liked would definitely be safe?

  It turned out that she was envious.

  She was envious that they could be so inseparable.

  Swoosh!

  The wooden closet door slid shut.

  With the push of the wooden sliding door, the sobbing sound that they had once heard rang out again!

  That sound was extremely miserable and ear-piercing. It reverberated in their ears and made their hair stand on end!

  They didn't hear the contents clearly in the past, but now they did. The recording kept on saying, "Give me back my life, give me back my life."

  Helian Weiwei's deduction wasn't wrong. The person who killed Zhang Heng was not a ghost, but someone who wanted to take revenge for Dong Sichun!

  Did that mean that Baili Jiajue was in danger?

  After Xiao Jingtian realized this, her first action was to tug at the closet door!

  Helian Weiwei looked up at her red ey
es and paused for a moment. She stretched out her hand and pressed it against the back of Xiao Jingtian's hand. "Don't cry."

  Even when she heard someone say this to her, Xiao Jingtian's tears still fell anyway.

  She didn't even know what she was crying about.

  It's just that she never thought that he would actually like Dong Sichun to this extent.

  For that woman, he was willing to kill someone?

  And kill her too?

  Xiao Jingtian's head pressed against the wooden cabinet as tears fell one after another. Her fingers held onto Helian Weiwei's. "He will be fine, right?"

  Helian Weiwei knew that this girl had too many flaws that would make people dislike her.

  But at the same time, she also knew that this girl was still kind at heart.

  She couldn't bear such a big sin.

  "Don't worry, my assistant is invulnerable." Helian Weiwei said this, but her eyes were looking at the closet.

  It seemed like if anything happened to Baili Jiajue at all, Helian Weiwei was going to stop trying to investigate this case and just drag the murderer out and smite him on the spot as usual!

  Sometimes she behaved like this. She knew that Baili Jiajue was an invincible demon, and even if opponents from both the heavenly axiom and Buddhism joined hands, he would still fight them off easily. She knew that these human created traps couldn't hurt him at all.

  However, Helian Weiwei was still worried.

  "Actually, you like him very much, right?" Xiao Jingtian suddenly asked in a low voice. Why did she doubt Helian Weiwei's love for this young man earlier?

  Helian Weiwei admitted to it very quickly, and there was still a smile on her face. "Of course. This man makes me behave differently from my usual self and I'm always so afraid of losing him. And sometimes, because of what others say, I even start to suspect that I might not be that important to him. But then after I think about it carefully, whether I'm important to him or not doesn't matter, as long as he's important to me."

  She seemed as tough as a tree, and her whole body seemed to be emitting a dazzling light.

  Helian Weiwei didn't waste too much time. With a twist of her wrist, an invisible stream of air seemed to gather in her palm. The clear trace of the Phoenix echoed inside the tiny room.

  Before anyone realized anything, the cabinet was pulled back to its original position by her.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-anarchic-consort_11046205305246905/his-highness-teases-weiwei_50925420333294290 for visiting.

  At the same time, a crack was heard.

  The sound of a lock being unlocked came from the other side.

  A hidden secret door was pulled open f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y!

  Baili Jiajue stood in the darkness. Behind him were four sharp steel pipes inserted into the ground that flickered with an ice-cold l.u.s.ter.

  However, he seemed to be completely fine. His tightly fastened black gloves were still wrapped around his slender hands. The black suit on his body didn't have the slightest crease.

  He looked at Helian Weiwei and smiled. "Too many things suddenly popped out from nowhere, so it took a little bit of time to solve the problem."

  They were scared to death here.

  But he actually solved the clues and unlocked the next stage!

  He only went in for less than a minute, right?

  How did he solve it so quickly?

  Helian Weiwei was also looking at him furtively. After all, just the fact that he managed to escape this stage once again proved that a certain highness seemed to be smarter than her.

  No matter how fast her problem solving skills were, it would still take her three to four minutes.

  This guy didn't even need one minute. Was he looking down on her IQ?

  "What's wrong? My respected master, do you feel that your own intelligence has been crushed?" Baili Jiajue laughed out loud as he glanced at the wardrobe. "Heh, I see you still like to use violence to solve the problem."

  Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows and kept her hands away. She decided that she had to just ignore whatever he said, otherwise she might die from his poisonous words. "This is what you call taking a shortcut. Tell us what you encountered."

  "Hmm? " When Baili Jiajue smiled, he seemed especially harmless. "Does encountering many attack attempts count as something? But it was pretty fun. We can play more of these next time."

  Helian Weiwei had a feeling that he was being serious about this. He was actually interested in escape rooms?

  However..

  Helian Weiwei looked at those sharp steel pipes and narrowed her eyes. "Zhang Heng was nailed to this room by these steel pipes, right?"

  Chapter 1079 - What Was Being Hidden

  "Yes, that's right." Xiao Jingtian finally regained her senses. Her eyes trembled as she looked at Baili Jiajue. Wasn't he too amazing?

  So many steel pipes were nailed over on all sides. In addition, the room was very dark. He was actually able to dodge these steel pipes and solve the next set of clues at the same time?!

  Guo Tingting also felt that this youth seemed superhuman. What sort of weirdo would think this situation was very interesting?!

  But no matter how others looked at him, Baili Jiajue's face still carried a smile that mesmerized others. At the same time, his eyes contained an innate coldness.

  It seemed like he had eyes for no one else except Helian Weiwei.

  Helian Weiwei strolled into that dim room. Because the mechanism had been triggered, a human head with long flowing hair popped out from the ceiling.

  The way it was suspended from the ceiling made everyone feel very uncomfortable inside.

  Other than the light from the flashlight, there was no other lighting in this room. There were still dried blood stains on the floor.

  This part of the escape room was very much like a haunted house, and it was more sinister than any other place.

  Probably because someone had died in this place, Helian Weiwei could clearly feel the residual air of resentment here.

  The background of the room was like a female dormitory. There were wooden bunk beds by the side, and books on the cabinet. All of these books were used by those in scientific research.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click /book/the-anarchic-consort_11046205305246905/what-was-being-hidden_50925499806966233 for visiting.

  That sense of familiarity was indescribable. She just felt all her hair standing on end.

  "This window is open?" Helian Weiwei narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the handwritten words in red scrawled there: Those who knew something but didn't say so are also guilty. Her voice became a little deeper, "From here, we can see the previous rooftop stage that we came from. Don't you guys think it's strange?"

  The boy holding the walkie-talkie looked in Helian Weiwei's direction and suddenly froze. "You're saying that the murderer is telling us that someone saw something on the rooftop through this window, but never mentioned it?"

  "That's right." Helian Weiwei glanced at him. "How did you guess?"

  The boy pointed to the sentence on the wall. "Those who knew something but didn't say so are also guilty. According to your logic earlier, the murderer thinks that all of us are guilty, so I went along those lines and came to this idea." He scratched the back of his head. "Did I guess it wrong?"

  Helian Weiwei laughed lightly, "No, you're very smart, that's exactly what happened. However, the murderer isn't trying to say this to us. He's trying to say this to the person who saw something on the rooftop that day but didn't speak up." When she reached this part, Helian Weiwei paused for a moment, turned her head and said to Guo Tingting, "Miss Tingting, I think you should know this better than anyone else. What did you see on the rooftop across your hostel room through the window of your room?"r />
  "Me?" Guo Tingting's eyes looked a little unfocused. "I don't know what you're talking about. That night, I turned off the lights early and went to sleep. The lady in charge of the hostel can vouch for me on this point."

  Helian Weiwei's eyes looked at her. "It's true that you turned off the lights very early. However, you turned off the lights, not because you wanted to sleep, but because the position you were lying on was just enough to see clearly the rooftop opposite. Turning off the lights will allow you to see more clearly."

  When Guo Tingting realized she had been seen through, her body shuddered. "Why are you so sure that I'm the one who saw it? This is just a room within an escape room game, and you can come up with so many associations?"

  Helian Weiwei's voice was very faint. "Miss Tingting, didn't you notice? The layout of this room and the hostel room you stay in are almost exactly the same!"

  Guo Tingting suddenly paused. After Helian Weiwei mentioned this, she finally realized why she felt such a deep sense of deja vu.

  "Why? Why is this escape room arranged like this?"

  Guo Tingting was obviously already on the verge of breaking down. She was so scared that her whole body was trembling. "Who is it?! Who is playing with us like this?! Do you like that woman so much?!"

  The last sentence she said was practically roared towards Chen Feiyang. She was angry and scared, and the tears on her face rolled down her cheeks.

  Xiao Jingtian turned around and hugged her. She used her strength to comfort her silently.

  Guo Tingting finally calmed down a little, but there was a cold smile on her lips. "It's true that I did hide a few things. Chen Feiyang, Zhao Xiaodong, didn't the two of you always think that Dong Sichun was so pretty and innocent? I'll tell you what I saw that day. She was happily making out with someone on the rooftop, and that person wasn't some stranger. That person was Zhang Heng. So out of the three of you, only Zhang Heng was actually smart. At least he knew that he just needed to give her something she wanted in order to bed her, and she didn't lack men around her anyway. Those two might have hooked up a long time ago, but you two still thought of Dong Sichun as your goddess. Bloody blind bats! But then all men are cheap, so instead of cherishing the good women around you, you always hanker after this sort of woman instead. Chen Feiyang, it's true that I used to like you, but not anymore. No man who likes a woman like Dong Sichun is worthy of me! On top of that, you're actually going to kill us over that woman? And you're actually willing to do something like that with Jingtian around? You're really heartless! You deserve getting played around by Dong Sichun like that!"
