Chapter 266 The Murder Scene in the Entertainment Industry 8
Lu Siyan looked at the other person and thanked them very gratefully.

Dou Meng simply nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

Everyone present is a suspect, and anyone could be the murderer.

In a climate of fear and insecurity, it would be quite an achievement to maintain a semblance of peace among people.

The current positions of everyone are quite delicate.

Yu Muhuai stood at the table, silently packed the water cup and instant noodles, then took off his gloves and stepped back a few paces.

Everyone else kept a distance from each other, while Lao Liu, Yingjie, and Xiaolan stood at the door, their eyes wary and cautious as they watched the people inside.

The camera's red light flashed rhythmically, proving that everyone's words and actions were being recorded in real time.

Outside, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and wind and rain raged, but inside the room, all was silent, and everyone's glances at each other held a deeper meaning.

Some harbored ulterior motives, while others were filled with unease.

Some people were filled with doubts, while others were anxious and depressed.

The atmosphere was very depressing.

A strange emotion was spreading among the crowd.

Just then, a deafening clap of thunder suddenly sounded outside the window, and the rain seemed to intensify.

The timid shuddered at the deafening thunder.

"Ahem." Cao Qin coughed lightly twice, breaking the awkward atmosphere first.

“I’m going back to my room to get some cigarettes and a lighter. There are cameras in the hallway and in the room, and they’re not covered up. Even if I leave this room, I don’t believe we can do anything.”

After saying that, Cao Qin walked out without waiting for any reply.

"Teacher Cao, wait a minute, I'm going too." Zheng Zihao quickly chased after Cao Qin when he saw him about to leave.

Cao Qin stopped and looked back. "Anyone else going back to their room? Want to come along?"

"I...I'll go too," Lü Siyan said in a barely audible voice, and then followed.

Dou Meng glanced back at Yu Muhuai and said, "I'm going back to my room too. I need to change my clothes."

Change clothes?
If I need to change clothes, I definitely need to avoid the cameras.

Once they get away from the cameras, who knows what they might do?

They might take the opportunity to put medicine bottles in her bag.

The fact that the murderer was able to successfully frame Qi Xin in the previous life proves that they are quite capable. Yu Muhuai doesn't know the specific methods used by the other party, so he definitely needs to be careful.

So she said without hesitation, "But if we change clothes, we'll definitely have to cover the camera. The murderer is among us now, so I suggest we stay within the camera's view until the police arrive."

Dou Meng turned to look at Yu Muhuai, her face showing impatience. "Xin Xin, it's almost summer now, and I'm already sweating profusely. Are we all going to spend the whole night wearing such thick clothes?"
Moreover, the specific details of Jiang Heng's death are only your side of the story.

Before the police even arrived, everyone was inexplicably labeled a suspect. Now, to make matters worse, they can't even change their clothes.

Even if they really come to arrest us, there's no reason not to let us change our clothes. Are we really going to be forced to walk around in these clothes all night?
And there are no cameras in the bathroom. Are you expecting us to monitor each other when we use the toilet? Don't you think that's a bit unreasonable?
Even if you're not tired, I'm exhausted.

By the end, Dou Meng's voice had become noticeably impatient.

Yu Muhuai was also getting impatient. He wanted to get rid of suspicion, and the best way was to find the real culprit tonight.

If it weren't for the upcoming award-winning task, she might have already tied everyone up and tortured them one by one to force them to reveal who the real culprit was. Her gaze instantly sharpened, a stark contrast to her usual Qi Xin demeanor.

"Sister Meng, this isn't about losing something or having a scandal; it's about a murder. Someone died here."

Moreover, the person who died was a colleague, so changing clothes was fine, and leaving the camera's view was also not a problem.

But if we can't find the real culprit soon, everyone present will be considered a suspect. Even ordinary people being considered suspects can cause a lot of problems, let alone public figures like us.

Everyone has a limited amount of time to use the restroom; it's impossible to stay in there for half an hour or an hour.

Changing clothes is a different story. Our current outfit is extremely troublesome to put on and take off, and it takes quite a while.

My reason for raising this issue is also for our own safety. Now that Jiang Heng is dead, if the killer has other targets and hasn't stopped, wouldn't we be in danger?

These words sounded somewhat far-fetched, but the last two points struck a chord with everyone present.

Yes, they are all public figures. If they get involved in murder cases and have to go to the police station every now and then, it will definitely affect their future jobs.

If the J party summons you to testify, or even if you are suspected by accident, that would be terrible.

Moreover, if Jiang Heng was indeed murdered, then the killer may have targeted more than one person!

These words immediately heightened the tension in the room.

Now I'm not only worried about becoming a suspect, but also about my personal safety tonight.

Dou Meng's anger, which had been simmering just moments before, has now completely subsided.

She had originally intended to walk straight out, but now, worried about her safety, she was hesitant to act alone.

"Sister Meng, let's go change clothes together. That way we can look out for each other, and even if the camera is covered, we won't be able to do anything sneaky, right?"

Lü Siyan stepped forward, speaking to Dou Meng while also glancing at the people around her.

Yu Muhuai thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's go together then. I'll go change my clothes too."

Dou Meng had completely forgotten about Yu Muhuai's tone; his words had been truly terrifying. Compared to her life and reputation, what did temporary grievances matter?
So the three women left the room together and walked outside.

The men also left the room, each going back to change clothes and get their belongings.

The three of them, Lao Liu and his companions, were wearing their own clothes and had nothing to take, so they left it all in the living room on the second floor.

Because the resort has enough rooms, each celebrity was assigned a private room.

Yu Muhuai returned to his room and, under the watchful eyes of all the cameras, pretended to look for something in his bag.

She just wanted to check just in case, because in her previous life, Qi Xin didn't see the medicine bottle when she rummaged through her bag before bed.

To her surprise, the bottle of medicine was now lying in her bag.

Moreover, it was buried at the very bottom.

The medicine bottle was small and had a very ordinary white appearance. Qi Xin had no recollection of ever having this medicine bottle in her bag.

Because she was well-hidden and had an ordinary appearance, Qi Xin completely overlooked her.
