People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 105. The murderer is actually...

Sure enough, the murderer used some method to make Tang Ya open the door obediently. Until now, the most suspicious person among the eight people is... Cai Meir.

They are all soul masters and have all the logical thinking they should have. The wound on Tang Ya's heart was from bottom to top. In Chen Yu's understanding, only a melee weapon like a spear would have its body tilted when used. And among the eight people, only Cai Meir's martial soul was a spear.

Perhaps... Cai Meir realized the problem the moment she saw the corpse report. She left the room in such a hurry, probably because she wanted to destroy the clues.

Mere suspicion is not enough. Without solid evidence, Cai Meir could easily turn around and say that Chen Yu is the real murderer in order to shift all the blame onto herself.

However... Chen Yu was not in a hurry, she could only follow behind Cai Meier silently, not letting her destroy the evidence and clues. She believed in the wisdom of others and should be able to find out the truth of the incident.

At the same time, after investigating Tang Ya's room, Huo Yuhao and his companions split into two groups. One group consisted of Dai Yueheng, Xu Sanshi, and Huo Yuhao, and the other group consisted of Mo Lian, Xu Fengxian, and Bei Bei. They began to investigate the entire dormitory area to see if there were any clues left behind.

Tang Ya's student handbook was in Mo Lian's handbook, but Mo Lian had never left the bathhouse from beginning to end. The handbook was locked in the cabinet, and there was no sign that the cabinet had been pried open.

The focus of everyone's investigation is to solve this mystery. What method did the murderer use to make Tang Ya open the door obediently?

The first stop for the Mo Lian trio was the cafeteria's kitchen.

"Aunt Cai really likes sweets. She used so much sugar just to cook a meal." Looking at the scattered white sugar and brown sugar on the stove in the back kitchen, Beibei couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Mo Lian and Xu Fengxian followed Bei Bei's gaze, and when they saw the brown sugar bag, they looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces froze instantly.

The puzzle...has been solved!
"The class trial is about to begin. Please enter the red gate of the campus area."

As the slightly cute voice of the black and white bear sounded, the three groups of people left the dormitory area with different thoughts and walked into the red gate of the campus area.

The elevator slowly went down, and the eight people walked into the courtroom that dominated their fate, and stood in front of the round table and took their seats.

Without waiting for Black and White Bear to speak, Chen Yu spoke first: "Let's not waste time talking. This series of events is not complicated. The only puzzle is how the murderer made Tang Ya open the door on her own initiative. Do you have any ideas about this?"

Before she finished speaking, Mo Lian suddenly raised her little hand and slowly said, "When we were eating, I was still a little confused. What kind of person loves sweets so much that they even add brown sugar to rice."

"Brown sugar?" Chen Yu suddenly realized, "You mean...brown sugar water?"

"Yes, it's brown sugar water." Xu Fengxian said faintly, "Whether it's a soul master or an ordinary person, as long as the family has the conditions, girls will drink some brown sugar water during their menstrual period. Although no one knows what the effect is, or even when this custom started, but this method can be used to knock on Tang Ya's door."

As she spoke, Xu Fengxian glanced in the direction of Cai Meir.

Cai Meir defended herself, "Why did you look at it? Do you suspect that I killed Tang Ya? After my soul power was sealed, I was just an ordinary weak woman. I only had ten minutes, which was not enough time to move the heavy objects at the door and then move them back." "Is it really... like this?" Chen Yu said thoughtfully, "Aunt Cai... Oh no, Cai Meir, are you really just an ordinary weak woman? A Titled Douluo, even if your cultivation is sealed, your physique is much stronger than many burly men. As the only elder in the team, the only female elder, Tang Ya is unlikely to be on guard against you."

Cai Mei'er said calmly, "This is just your guess. Is there any concrete evidence to prove that I did it? Everyone can do something similar. There is no need to actually boil a pot of brown sugar water. All you need to do is knock on the door of Tang Ya's dormitory and say you're bringing her brown sugar water."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu, Xu Fengxian, and Mo Lian fell silent instantly. Cai Meir was right. As long as they were sure they could trick Tang Ya into opening the door, it didn't matter whether there was brown sugar water or not.

In this way, the problem returns to the starting point. Although Cai Meir is very suspicious, at this juncture, there is not enough evidence to defeat her, and it is difficult to get the approval of others.

“Let me say something.” Huo Yuhao raised his little hand and said slowly, “I don’t think Aunt Cai is the murderer. On the contrary, Chen Yu’s behavior makes me a little suspicious. Um… When I came out of the bathhouse to relieve myself, I saw Chen Yu standing at the door of the bathroom, looking around in panic.”

"Even if I looked around in panic, I can't say that I am the murderer, right?" Chen Yu pondered, "I don't know why, but I seemed to see two Xu Sanshis walking towards the dormitory area, one wrapped in a bath towel, and the other wearing Xu Sanshi's clothes. For a moment... I even wondered if I was seeing things."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their attention to Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi scratched his head and said with a puzzled look: "I have never left the bathhouse. Beibei, Junior Brother, and Senior Dai can all vouch for me."

“No, Third Brother, have you forgotten? You clearly left the bathhouse, and I reminded you to be careful of the slippery floor at that time.” Huo Yuhao said solemnly.

"That's Beibei! Beibei! You're reminding Beibei!" Xu Sanshi said unhappily, "Junior brother, are you still asleep? How come you can't even recognize people?"

……

Looking at the scene in front of her, Cai Meir's mouth curled up slightly, as if she was mocking the stupidity of the Tang Clan members.

At this moment, Mo Lian came to Cai Mei'er's side without knowing when, sat on the table, looked into her eyes, and slowly said: "Aunt Cai, what are you laughing at? Do you really think... your approach is smart?"

As he spoke, Mo Lian winked in the direction of Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao understood and quickly took out a small bag from his pocket. Inside the bag was some pure white powder.

"This powder has a hallucinogenic effect. You added a large amount of powder to Sister Xiaoya's food. Under the influence of the hallucinogenic effect, you pretended to be Sister Xiaoya's mother and urged her to open the door. Under her fingernails, there was a little bit of thread that was the same color as the skirt you were wearing."

Huo Yuhao said solemnly, “You don’t have to object. The six of us have already tasted Sister Xiaoya’s food. We don’t need to say much about the effect. Moreover, you added hallucinogens to our food in order to make us doubt ourselves so that you can get yourself out of here.”
