The evidence-gathering time came to an end quickly.
Everyone's glances toward each other began to carry subtle changes.
Though there was no victim yet, based on the various clues found in each player's room, it was evident that everyone present harbored secrets they couldn't reveal.
Dinner was served at Mantang Inn, with the innkeeper Little Yu personally cooking.
At the dining table.
Qi Le didn't sit by her fiancé Dai Zhao but instead chose to sit beside Wan He, chatting cheerfully and laughing, leaving Wan He blushing furiously.
To make it even stranger, Qi Le outright gifted Wan He a valuable deed to a property. Though Qi Le explained it was a present for Wan He's 22nd birthday, this gesture still felt oddly out of place.
After this, the victim appeared.
NPC County Magistrate Yun Feiyang was chatting with innkeeper Little Yu at the counter when he suddenly rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.
Panic swept through everyone present.
