The series of questions made the boy visibly nervous.

He hurriedly shook his head in denial: "No, no... I absolutely did not kill anyone! The reason I argued with her was because she is my ex-girlfriend."

Upon hearing this, the other streamers all showed expressions of shock, as if they were watching a drama unfold.

What a huge melon!
Stared at like that by everyone, the boy, flustered, began to explain: "The reason I didn't say anything was because I was afraid it would arouse suspicion. I was really scared! Besides, we broke up almost half a year ago, there's no way I could kill her! If I really wanted to, I would have done it when we broke up!"

You're really quite "frank".

Chen Anshui rolled his eyes inwardly.

However, this person is indeed highly suspicious, and everyone obviously thinks so too, looking at him with malicious suspicion.

"You say you didn't do it, do you have an alibi?"

"I was playing on my phone when it happened. He and he both saw me playing on my phone. I didn't have time to kill anyone at that time! I can't be in two places at once!" the boy argued, feeling wronged.

Someone staring at him suddenly spoke up: "You can't say for sure. Who knows if you used some trick to deliberately deceive everyone?"

"I'm not that ruthless! To be honest, I've never killed anyone, not even a chicken. How could I possibly kill someone? Maybe the real culprit is hiding among you, and you're deliberately pinning the blame on me to divert attention and shift suspicion!"

"What are you saying? You're the prime suspect among everyone here, that's a fact! What are you trying to argue about? The more you try to argue, the more guilty you seem!"

"I didn't! You're deliberately slandering me! The person stirring up trouble is just trying to divert everyone's attention!"

The two sides argued fiercely, each possessing a perfect alibi. Li Zixuan was thoroughly exasperated.

No one was willing to admit that they were a suspect. After the argument, everyone fell silent.

The atmosphere in the ancestral hall was somewhat eerie, and coupled with the gloomy weather, everyone's mood was not good.

Everyone was quietly eating. The restrooms were not far away when suddenly a scream rang out!
Hearing the sound, everyone was startled. Li Zixuan and Chen Anshui quickly jumped up from their chairs and rushed to the restroom, reassuring everyone to stay calm along the way.

There was a large mirror on the sink in the restroom, and a note was pasted on the mirror.

The note read: 'You will die tonight!'
This is a blank sheet of paper with words written in blood, making it look particularly eerie and chilling.

The young man, named Chen Kaiyue, pointed at the note in front of him and said tremblingly, "This...this...I just came to use the restroom. After I washed my hands, I looked up and saw this note! There was nothing posted here before!"

Li Zixuan narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the piece of paper. It looked ordinary, without any apparent special energy.

Chen Anshui also took a look and said that it was indeed very ordinary.

He whispered to Li Zixuan, "It seems to be a prank by an ordinary person, but I wonder who it is..."

"Perhaps we can use this opportunity to find the murderer," Chen Anshui said quietly.

Li Zixuan nodded in strong agreement.

That damned murderer dared to commit crimes in the name of ghosts and gods. This kind of person absolutely needs to be taught a lesson!
Trying to play tricks on these experts... just wait and see!

The two comforted the frightened man, Chen Kaiyue.

"It's okay, maybe it's just a prank. It's just a piece of white paper, it probably appeared when you weren't looking, don't worry about it too much," Chen Anshui patiently comforted him.

Chen Kaiyue trembled with fear, cold sweat pouring down her face, but she still managed to thank him: "Thank you... but I'm still scared. From now on, I'll stick with you all and never be alone, so he won't have a chance to strike... that should keep us alive, right?" Chen Anshui and Li Zixuan nodded: "Of course. If you stick with everyone, the killer definitely won't have a chance to strike."

Because of this strange incident, everyone will act collectively in subsequent operations to avoid being alone and encountering misfortune.

Time passed slowly. Some people slept when they were tired, some ate when they were hungry, and some chatted quietly in private.

Gradually, they also realized that the piece of paper was just a prank.

Only Chen Anshui and Li Zixuan remained vigilant, asking the boy for relevant family information.

"Have you offended anyone you shouldn't have recently? Or is there any connection between your ancestors and the Shen family?" Li Zixuan asked curiously.

Chen Kaiyue thought about it carefully and said uncertainly, "As for offending people... I can't say for sure, because I might have offended someone unintentionally. As for ancestral relations... I remember that my family is somewhat related to the Shen family, but I don't remember exactly what kind of relatives we are, because I'm not interested in those complicated kinship relationships."

Hearing this answer, the two became even more wary.

It turns out that it's also related to the Shen family.

Is this a coincidence? Or is someone manipulating everything from the shadows?
Chen Kaiyue rubbed her stomach: "I ate something earlier, and now my stomach hurts a bit. I need to go to the restroom. Can you come with me? I really don't want to be alone..."

The previous events had terrified him, and being alone was extremely dangerous, so Li Zixuan and Chen Anshui agreed to accompany him to the restroom.

Upon reaching the restroom, the two stood guard at the door. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, whipping up sand and dust that stung their eyes.

Chen Anshui and Li Zixuan closed their eyes, and after a moment, their expressions changed drastically at the same time!
They burst through the door and found Chen Kaiyue lying motionless on the floor of the bathroom, her face blackened and lifeless.

In the end, someone still died!

Other people who came to use the restroom were also terrified when they saw this scene, and soon they all gathered around.

Everyone was heavy-hearted upon seeing the deceased Chen Kaiyue.

"You were standing guard outside the door, didn't you notice anything unusual? This person was perfectly fine, how could he suddenly die?"

"Could it be that the two of you did it? Or are you trying to play the victim?"

"What on earth happened? Wasn't someone following them? How did they still die?"

"Could it really be a ghost coming to claim my life?"

"It's very likely that a ghost came to kill him, otherwise how could he have died so quickly and silently?"

"It really is a ghost! Oh my god, I knew I shouldn't have come, this place is really haunted!"

Various voices chattered and discussed at the scene.

The scene was chaotic and noisy. Chen Anshui shouted impatiently, "Enough! All of you shut up! Can't you see? This person died of cyanide poisoning, not from some evil spirit!"

A loud shout silenced the noisy crowd.

After a moment of silence, Chen Anshui said coldly, "Didn't you see? This person was foaming at the mouth, their face was bluish, and their saliva had a bitter almond smell. Don't you have common sense? This person was poisoned to death! Stop talking about evil spirits taking lives!" (End of Chapter)
