It's late at night.

"Oh my, that's terrible. She only got into trouble after coming back. This girl is quite capable." Lu Qifa clicked his tongue in admiration.

Xia Yao could tell from Lu Qifa's performance last night that this old fox was putting on a good act. In the beginning, he acted like a nouveau riche with only a superficial understanding, and his pot-bellied appearance suited him well.

But the fact that he can find the formation and neutralize evil at crucial moments shows that he is not simple.

But why would they pretend when they clearly have experience and know a lot?

But the biggest question now is why Liu Lili is here.

If she had the ability to return to the hotel, she should have gone back to her own room. Why was she in room 703?

"Waaaaah, Sister Liu."

Chen Qi was sobbing and making a racket, which was very annoying.

"Brother Lu, please take her away first, she's too noisy."

Zhou Zean rubbed his temples, clearly very agitated.

Lu Qifa agreed and, ignoring Chen Qi's objections, dragged her away.

The person left, and the room was quiet.

Xia Yao watched the person leave and then went forward to close the door.

But this action led him to a new discovery.

There are scratches on the buckle, as if it was scratched by something small and sharp.

Xia Yao turned to look at the corpse again and noticed that Liu Lili's manicure tips were white, as if they had been scratched and were no longer neat.

The manicure on his right thumb had a broken mark, as if it had been accidentally broken by too much force.

"Did you discover something?"

Zhou Ze'an saw the shock in his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Xia Yao checked the door lock before answering his question.

"The lock is broken. Liu Lili probably tried to close the door before she died, but the lock is stuck and she can't get it back in place."

Zhou Ze'an had obviously noticed this as well, but the two of them remained silent and kept a distance from each other, their wariness and vigilance evident in their eyes.

The lock was set up by Zhou Ze'an because he couldn't find the room key for room 703. Just in case, he deliberately jammed the door to leave a safe zone that anyone could enter.

Xia Yao had stayed in room 703. At that time, the lock was still working properly and the latch could be released to lock the door.

The lock is now stuck, unable to retract, and therefore unable to lock the door properly.

Someone broke the lock on 703, and both men suspect the other of being the culprit.

The wary glances they exchanged made them relax a little.

"But Liu Lili wasn't marked by Orange, so why doesn't she go back to her own room? The lock on room 703 is broken, yet she's still stubbornly staying here."

Zhou Zean raised a question, while Xia Yao observed Liu Lili's entire body.

On the blood-stained carpet, a pure white room key lay fallen.

After the card sleeves were burned, their room cards were all pure white, without any room number markings.

He picked up the room key and shared his speculation.

"Is it possible that she simply can't go back to her own room?"

The room key malfunctioned, preventing her from opening the door. As a result, she was forced to choose room 703, which was already open. However, she was surprised to find that the lock on room 703 was broken.

By then, she had lost her chance to escape. The evil spirit descended and cracked open her head.

"Just swipe your room card and you'll know what's going on."

As Zhou Ze'an spoke, he couldn't wait to start the experiment.

Liu Lili was staying in room 707. The door was locked, and the room card was pressed against the sensor, but there was no response.

I refreshed it several more times, but got the same result.

"It won't open." Xia Yao pursed his lips, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He fell into the water, but his room key was still working normally.

The room key card, which doesn't even have a scratch, is clearly not damaged or malfunctioning.

While they were busy outwitting and investigating Zhou Xun, they didn't have time to fabricate anything.

Therefore, this room card could only belong to another teammate.

Someone deliberately switched Liu Lili's room key, preventing her from returning to her room.

That person didn't even know when they broke the door to room 703, which led to Liu Lili's tragic death.

"Try swiping the card in each room one by one."

Zhou Ze'an clearly thought the same way, which is why he made this suggestion.

They tried several doors one by one, and finally only the door of room 703 made a beeping sound, but it was stuck and couldn't be retracted because the lock was broken.

The room key for room 703 went missing on the first day, and I never expected it to end up here now.

"It's Chen Qi."

Xia Yao pursed her lips. "She was the first person to discover the body in room 703, and she was also the one who took the room key. It's just that she disguised herself too well back then."

Recalling that Chen Qi was vomiting in the bathroom when the body was discovered, it's possible that she was trying to cover up her suspicion.

"And last night, logically speaking, she was the one who was marked and was in the most danger. She somehow broke the lock on room 703 and also changed Liu Lili's room key."

As for Chen Qi, Zhou Ze'an gave her the room key to Lan Yuanshan's room 705 for safety. Even if the door to room 703 was damaged, she would still have a safe zone to hide in.

Xia Yao recalled the time before getting on the bus when Chen Qi was terrified and kept grabbing Liu Lili's arm.

Around that time, she probably changed the room key.

In such a short time, and under the watchful eyes of everyone without their knowledge?

Xia Yao felt a chill run down her spine upon closer inspection. This was no innocent, pure girl; she was far too ruthless.

"The person is already dead, so just pretend you don't know anything and be careful."

Zhou Zean sighed, "We still need to find evidence hidden by the reporters, it's really not good to make a scene at this time."

Silence. Survival is their only goal now.

If you want to survive and leave the game, losing players now is indeed quite dangerous.

"Liu Lili was killed by a ghost."

Zhou Ze'an seemed afraid that the newcomer wouldn't understand, so he emphasized it again.

"That's how it is in weird games, you'll get used to it."

Xia Yao remained silent, feeling as if she were walking on thin ice.

The two tacitly avoided mentioning the matter again and went downstairs to the restaurant to find Lu Qifa.

Lu Qifa was already eating breakfast; his teammate's death no longer affected his appetite.

Chen Qi, however, still looked timid, fearful, and sobbing pitifully, like an innocent little flower who needed protection.

"Brother Zhou, have you found out why Sister Liu died?"

Whether it was a test or simply a matter of playing her role well, Chen Qi choked up.

Chen Qi's eyes were brimming with tears, like a pear blossom in the rain, as if she and Liu Lili had a very close sisterly bond.

"Don't be too sad that we haven't found anything. The most important thing now is for us to work together to find evidence and get out of here."

Zhou Ze'an was also good at pretending; he first sighed, and then gently comforted her.

"Yes, we can definitely get out of here."

Chen Qi nodded firmly, her eyes seeming to shine as she looked at Zhou Ze'an, as if he were some kind of savior.

There were four people at the table, three of whom were veteran actors. Xia Yao felt that she was not worthy to sit at the same table with them.
