Chapter 158： ultimate challenge

Lu Shijin walked into the meeting room on the first floor, and there was no one in it except him.

This is very embarrassing, won't he be the only one to come out to find someone to discuss?

Just as he was planning to stay here and wait or go back first if no one came, the door of the meeting room was pushed open.

It was Lu Zhongze who walked in. Seeing Lu Shijin's moment, his eyes lit up.

"Hey! You're also here!" Lu Zhongze was very happy, he walked quickly to the sofa opposite Lu Shijin and sat down, "I thought no one would come over, thinking that it would be boring to stay in the house anyway, why don't you come out and breathe, I didn't expect to meet you by chance."

Lu Shijin laughed dryly, "Yeah, it's a coincidence, I also think it's too boring to be alone in the room with no one to talk to."

Lu Zhongze is quite familiar. He came tonight than Lu Shi, but he was more comfortable than Lu Shijin. Seeing the teapot and cups on the coffee table, he poured two cups of hot tea for himself and Lu Shijin. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.

Just when Lu Shijin thought that Lu Zhongze was going to drink another cup of tea, Lu Zhongze suddenly asked coldly, "Is the murderer you?"

Such a straightforward question, Lu Shijin's brain did not respond for a while, but when he looked at Shang Lu Zhongze's inquiry, Lu Shijin quickly understood.

Lu Zhongze was testing him. If he did something wrong, he would feel guilty. The subconscious reaction of people is the most real. He suddenly asked to observe his own reaction.

Lu Shijin stabilized his mind, put on a blank expression, and asked Lu Zhongze blankly, "Ah? What did you say?"

Lu Zhongze couldn't find any flaws in Lu Shijin's face. He was a little unwilling. He smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just joking with you to brighten the atmosphere." He glanced at the door and said to himself, "Shouldn't it be today? Will it be just the two of us discussing?"

Lu Shijin shrugged, "Maybe."

Lu Zhongze looked at him, his expression became friendly, "I don't think you are the murderer."

Lu Shijin raised his eyebrows slightly, "Really?"

Lu Zhongze nodded and said seriously: "And I can tell you the bottom line, neither am I, should we form an alliance? In the end, this game is about finding the murderer, so except for the murderer, everyone else can cooperate, and also for themselves. Better, what do you think?"

"What you said makes sense." Lu Shijin responded lightly, but did not make it clear whether he would agree to Lu Zhongze's cooperation.

Lu Zhongze also knew in his heart that since he was talking about cooperation, he had to show his sincerity in cooperation before others would agree.

"Did you find any clues there? I have some clues here to share with you." Lu Zhongze leaned back on the sofa, looking relaxed and casual, but the hands folded on his abdomen revealed that he did not put it down alert.

Lu Shijin raised Erlang's legs and nodded with interest, "I would like to hear more about it."

Lu Zhongze was about to open his mouth to continue talking, but unexpectedly, the door that had been closed was pushed open again.

Lu Zhongze held his breath in his throat and looked at the door. After seeing the person who came in, he cautiously closed his mouth.

Unexpectedly, the person who came in was Li's nephew.

The atmosphere became awkward for a while, because Lu Shijin and Lu Zhongze had never communicated with this nephew Li. The two of them had a good discussion, but now a stranger was suddenly added, and they had nothing to say.

But why did nephew Li come? After a little thought, I understood. The three members of Mr. Li's family are currently in a group. They must have sent nephew Li to investigate the "military situation".

Lu Shijin's mind turned, yes, there are three members of the Li family, and they hold three votes in their hands. If they are picked up by them, it will be a huge threat to others, so we must find a way to divide their relationship, nephew Li Now that we are here, of course we have to take advantage of this opportunity.

Lu Shijin glanced at Lu Zhongze quietly, lowered his eyelids and nodded slightly, giving Lu Zhongze a wink.

Lu Zhongze is also a person who understands at one point. He immediately understood what Lu Shijin meant by coming here, and nodded at Lu Shijin knowingly, then turned his head and waved to his nephew Li with a smile, "Hi, how are you?"

Lu Zhongze has such an advantage. He doesn't show up with anyone. He greets his nephew Li to sit next to him very naturally, and pours tea for him diligently. Let's discuss together, it's really fate!"

Although nephew Li looked condescending and ignored by anyone, he couldn't resist Lu Zhongze's enthusiasm. He took the tea Lu Zhongze poured him and thanked him bluntly.

Lu Zhongze struck while the iron was hot: "Since it's a discussion, let's exchange the clues we got. What do you think?"

"I'm fine." Lu Shijin shrugged and said indifferently.

Nephew Li thought for a while and nodded, "Yes."

"Then let me say it first. First of all, I won't say who I suspect, lest you think I have the rhythm, I will only say the clues I have found now," Lu Zhongze clasped the cup with his fingers and continued, "I think this is a person who is everyone. There is a motive for the murder, and everyone may have committed the murder, but no matter how many people committed it, there is only one way to finally lead to Mr. Lu's death. From a legal point of view, there is only one murderer, and the others are all attempted murders. , what we are looking for is the real murderer who killed him."

Nephew Li asked, "According to what you said, each of us has made a move, and we have suspicions. Why do you rule out your own suspicion?"

Lu Zhongze smiled lightly, "I don't hide it from you, my motive for killing is for inheritance, the old man felt that I was a loser and didn't want to give me the inheritance to squander, so I had the intention of killing, and the task assigned by the APP was to the old man. The food was poisoned, but obviously the old man did not die of poisoning, otherwise the body would definitely be abnormal, and the captain would also explain the situation to us, so after knowing the news of the old man's death, I first ruled out my suspicions."

The task Lu Shijin received was also poisoning, but will the system assign poisoning tasks to both of them? I'm afraid it's not entirely true, so Lu Zhongze is likely to be lying.

When Lu Shijin heard this, he secretly smiled, but he didn't show any superfluous expressions.

Lu Zhongze is now equivalent to exposing himself to be a prophet, and wants to lead civilian players to catch the werewolf, but the authenticity of his identity as a prophet remains to be discussed.

Players who can go to the ultimate challenge are not idle, so although Lu Zhongze claims to be not a murderer, others will not easily believe him.

Lu Shijin wouldn't believe it, and neither would Li's nephew. However, neither of them questioned Lu Zhongze, and listened to what he had to say next.

Lu Zhongze: "So we first need to analyze each person's motive for murder, and then find a way to kill. Whose way of killing is the cause of the old man's death, that person is the real murderer."

Lu Shijin nodded and made a convincing expression, "Yes, it makes sense. Then I will talk about my doubts. First of all, I don't think Mr. Lu's way of death is as it seems on the surface. It's simple, since many people are doing it, there must be various ways to kill, but now we are not allowed to examine the corpse, so no one can know the way of killing except the person who started it. Let's start with the motive of the killing, because Often the person with the strongest motive will hope that Mr. Lu will die."

Both Lu Zhongze and nephew Li nodded slightly in agreement.

Lu Shijin: "I'll talk about myself first. I killed him because Mr. Lu wanted to force me to recognize my biological father, but I didn't want to, because he was a murderer and I felt that recognizing him would affect my future. read."

Lu Zhongze raised his eyebrows, held the venue and said, "So it is."

The two looked at nephew Li and waited for him to tell his motive for the murder. Nephew Li coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "My role is because I am a second-generation ancestor who is idle and not doing his job properly, so the old man doesn't like it, the old man wants it. I'll change my wickedness, or I'll cancel my inheritance, that's why I want to kill him."

What is the reason for killing? Not enough at all okay?

But the three people knew very well that although they all explained their motives for killing, the reasons were very superficial, and the deeper motives were not exposed.

It is necessary to be defensive. How can trust be established so easily? The three of them all know what is going on, so they can only listen to what other people say, and just pretend to be stupid.

"Okay, let's discuss the other clues we found," Lu Shijin continued, "First of all, I think Mr. Lu's medicine is very problematic. Do you remember that the housekeeper once emphasized that the order of taking the medicines in the two medicine bottles should not be wrong? As an important NPC, it is impossible for the housekeeper to mention this for no reason, so I suspect that one of the killing methods is that someone will dump the medicine, and who among us who are most likely to do this thing would you think?"

Nephew Li didn't have the patience to listen to Lu Shijin's betrayal, and asked bluntly, "Who do you think it will be?"

Lu Shijin: "Just now in the banquet hall, you noticed that the captain asked Miss Gao if she used to be a nurse? As a nurse, Miss Gao once took care of Mr. Lu. She should have a good understanding of what medicine he takes. When she delayed taking the medicine, she came up with the trick of discarding the medicine as soon as possible, which also fits her personality, so I suspect that this is Miss Gao's way of killing, but I have no clue as to what her motive was."

Lu Zhongze was silent for a moment, as if thinking about the rationality of Lu Shijin's words. After a while, he said, "But you don't necessarily have to be a nurse when you think of the method of unpacking medicine, as long as you are familiar enough with Mr. Lu's lifestyle."

"I'm just talking about my guess," Lu Shijin smiled, "Why do you look so nervous and help her explain it?"

Lu Zhongze laughed dryly and hit haha: "Is there? I'm just telling the truth."

Knowing that the opportunity was coming, Lu Shijin took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Also, I think that among us, the illegitimate child might have the strongest motive for murder? It's obvious, and why did Mr. Lu talk to him in the first place, don't you think it's strange?"

Lu Zhongze followed closely and said, "The first conversation doesn't mean that the motive for murder is the strongest. If so, then the game is too simple."

Lu Zhongze spoke in a hurry, and also defended Rongzhi, as if to prove that he did not deliberately speak for Miss Gao before, but he does not know that the more he does this, the more condescending he feels. He turned his attention away from Rongzhi.

Nephew Li also noticed Lu Zhongze's abnormality, and asked with a half-smiling smile, "This is not that or that, so who do you think is the most likely?"

Lu Zhongze took a sip of the tea cup and said calmly, "I won't arbitrarily conclude that who is the real murderer without evidence. I'll just tell my judgment."

Lu Shijin smiled slightly: "All ears."

Lu Zhongze: "Have you seen the jewelry on Mrs. Li's body?"

Hearing that Lu Zhongze was targeting his "mother", nephew Li became nervous, "What's the matter? What's the problem?"

Lu Zhongze looked at him and said earnestly: "Let me say first, I don't mean to alienate your relationship, I just seek truth from facts. I used to be a jewelry appraiser, and the jade necklace chain around Mrs. Li's neck is all emerald beads. It's blue and clear, and it's worth at least tens of millions, but the problem is that her necklace looks real, but it's actually a product."

Nephew Li asked suspiciously, "So what?"

"A high-class lady must have a lot of jewelry. How can she wear a fake jade necklace to show off? So obviously she doesn't know that this necklace is fake, so there is only one possibility," Lu Zhongzella said. After a long voice, he raised his chin and squinted at nephew Li, "I was taken out of my bag. Did you do it?"

"Of course not! Why should I change her necklace?" Nephew Li denied.

Lu Zhongze smiled slyly, "If it wasn't you, who else would it be?"

Lu Shijin followed closely: "Could it be Mr. Li?"

"It's him?" Nephew Li frowned subconsciously, apparently ignorant of it. It seems that the relationship between the family of three is not so united and stable.

Lu Zhongze didn't answer and asked, "If it is true that Mr. Li has replaced Mrs. Li's jewelry with A goods, what would be the reason?"

"Because of lack of money, so I sold it?" Nephew Li murmured thoughtfully.

"Thinking about it, this is the only possibility," Lu Zhongze said confidently, "so I think that Mr. Li must have done something shameful behind Mrs. Li's back, and Mr. Lu may have discovered it in the end. This is his motive for murder. "

Once a person has doubts about a person, the seeds of doubt will be planted in their hearts, germinate deeply, and grow vigorously, so there is no need for Lu Shijin and Lu Zhongze to say anything more, nephew Li may have a grudge against Mr. Li in his heart. .

"I think our discussion today is about the same, why don't we stop here?" Lu Shijin stood up and said.

"Okay," Lu Zhongze also stood up, straightened his clothes, and asked casually, "By the way, will you vote in the first round?"

Lu Shijin: "I probably won't. The situation is not clear now. If you vote wrong, you will help the murderer to clear his own people, and the gain will outweigh the loss."

Lu Zhongze looked at Nephew Li again. Nephew Li paused and said hesitantly, "I probably won't either."

Lu Zhongze smiled meaningfully, and said lightly: "Okay, let's go back separately, the voting is about to start, I believe that the two of you have said so much, and I hope that our conversation today will not be known by others. ."

Lu Shijin and nephew Li nodded at the same time.

Lu Shijin thought that this might be a good opportunity to win people's hearts, and said casually before walking out of the living room: "Actually, it is fate that we can meet in the final mission, we still have to rely on everyone to work together to find the real murderer, or let's add a friend , if there is anything in the future, there is a discussion, what do you think?"

Who knew that Lu Zhongze looked at Lu Shijin strangely and asked, "Add friends? How to add friends?"

Lu Shijin: "...Of course it's a mobile phone to add friends."

Nephew Li took out his mobile phone and fiddled with it: "Isn't this broken mobile phone only able to accept the instructions issued by this broken APP, and can I add friends? Why don't I know?"

Lu Shijin was so confused, how could their mobile phones be different from his? !

But he and Rong Zhi had obviously become friends!

Is this a hidden function that can only be triggered by luck?

But Lu Shijin didn't say anything, and said calmly, "Oh, really? I thought I could add friends with my mobile phone, hehehe..."

Nephew Li felt a little ridiculous, "You think too much. I studied this broken phone the first time I got it. Except for tasks, I can't make phone calls!"

Lu Shijin smiled casually, but there was a cloud of suspicion in his heart.
