Infinite Murder Mystery Game: The Beauty with a Delicate Palm

"you!"

Felix's eyes widened, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Ungrateful ingrate! Bah!"

Luna was indignant and stood up for Su Mian, but Felix was completely deaf to her pleas.

His hands trembled as he tried to find someone, only to find that he was all alone in the crowd.

The lights came on, and he saw that Mao Shi had teleported in front of him and was looking up at him, slowly licking his lips.

"Finally, we can get a taste of what the players are like."

"Aaaaaaaaahh ...

After a period of commotion, the eerie music turned upside down, the lights didn't go out again, the game was over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At dawn, with a wave of his hand, the crowd immediately dispersed, some clinking glasses, some chatting, and many crowding to admire the red dancing shoes, only to be dispersed by the guards.

"Thank goodness, we survived."

Willow let out a long sigh of relief and wiped his sweat. Pip also breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously touching his neck, then remembered that he was in a "non-human" form.

He shivered and withdrew his hand. To be honest, he still couldn't quite accept his current appearance.

Luna was very impressed to see that Su Mian wasn't even out of breath, and secretly thought that she had indeed chosen the right person to rely on.

How could a housewife like her have so many tricks up her sleeve to survive for so long in an infinite flow world? It's all thanks to her experience in dealing with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships that she's learned to read people's expressions.

Su Mian hadn't rested for long before starting to question any suspicious-looking NPCs, and the other players followed suit.

Princesses and queens, being in positions of power, obviously have an easier time being asked questions than other characters.

Su Mian approached a middle-aged man in a jacket. His face was sallow, like an oxidized apple, and his black beard stretched from his philtrum to his chest. He held a fruit knife in his hand and smiled at her.

"Would you like an apple, Your Highness?"

"Oh my god, isn't that Apple Jacket? He actually came to the dance too."

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.

"Rich young ladies all love buying his peeled apples, saying that apples peeled by his apple jacket won't turn yellow or smell bad for days! With his apples selling so well, does he even need those red dancing shoes?"

Su Mian listened silently, then suddenly crossed her arms and leaned closer to the apple jacket.

Why did you come to the ball?

Apple Jacket paused, then smiled. "Your Highness misunderstands. I've come to see Pip the Tooth Fairy." He stroked the knife in his hand.

"I've been using this knife for too long and haven't found a suitable one yet, so I'm thinking of trading my teeth for a new, better knife."

Su Mian glanced at his knife, then looked back at the man's face, and casually asked, "Do you know... what my father traded his teeth for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Apple Jacket's face changed drastically, and he began to tremble. "I...I dare not speak of His Majesty the King."

He stammered, his bright smile completely gone.

Su Mian lowered her eyes, showing no intention of backing down. She casually picked up a string of already peeled apple peels and suddenly spoke.

"You didn't peel this fruit with a knife, did you?"

"Your Highness... what are you saying?"

Apple Jacket hunched his shoulders, looking at her with a mixture of confusion and fear.

Su Mian chuckled, "When I saw you peeling the skin just now, you hid both hands in your beard, but one hand didn't move at all."

"What? Your knife is a spiral blade, you don't even need to spin the apple?"

Apple Jacket's face turned deathly pale instantly, and his hands trembled as he shoved the knife into his sleeve.

"No need to cover it up. You can tell at a glance that this knife hasn't been used much. And the apple was bitten with your teeth. Tsk tsk tsk... It probably doesn't sound good to say that out loud."

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

Apple Jacket looked up, clasped his hands together, and looked terrified.

"The old king...he loves you."

Su Mian hummed in response, seemingly not quite understanding.

"Of course my father loves me."

Apple Jacket shook his head violently.

"Your Highness! It's that kind of love, the love of lovers. He... he wished to the Tooth Fairy that you would fall in love with him, so he offered up all his teeth!"

After saying that, he threw the apple away. "Your Highness, I've said everything. I beg you, please don't tell those young ladies, or my life will be ruined!"

Su Mian waved his hand, letting him leave, but he stood there blankly, looking a bit dazed.

Su Mian didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked.

How can a father fall in love with his daughter?

She couldn't imagine how two people related by blood could develop romantic love, especially with such a large age gap.

The word "family" is inherently impure; she couldn't construct any reasonable image of it in her mind, only feeling uncomfortable.

"You're clearly very well protected by your parents."

Luna didn't know how long she had been listening. Su Mian had noticed her long ago, but considering that Luna had helped her, she didn't care that Luna was eavesdropping.

Hearing Luna speak, she turned around. Although her face was expressionless, the disdain and incomprehension in her eyes were almost overflowing.

Luna chuckled. "Look at such a smart girl, how come she can't accept something like this? Your eyes are wide open."

Su Mian blinked, awkwardly touched her nose, and then exchanged clues with her.

"I just asked Willow, and you're the candidate Nightingale chose yesterday."

"I?"

Su Mian pointed to herself and immediately frowned.

Why was she chosen? What did she do at the ball?

Before he could think further, a feather fell into his hand. At dawn, he shouted, "...Good heavens, today's candidates have been chosen!"

"It's our beautiful, lovely, and charming princess~"

Immediately, applause erupted in the hall, with everyone praising her graceful dance and gorgeous appearance. However, it was clear to anyone with discerning eyes that her appearance was anything but gorgeous.

What's really suspicious is why she was the candidate for both days?

Amid the applause, there were also some dissatisfaction and doubts.

"Why is it Elizabeth again for two days in a row? This Nightingale is so unfair."

"I also want to wear red dancing shoes. Are red dancing shoes only for princesses?"

"There must be something going on inside!"

"Quiet!"

At 5 a.m., he clutched his ears, grimaced, and stomped his feet. The dance hall instantly fell silent. "The party is over for tonight. The party will start again at this time tomorrow. Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest."

As she was about to take out her hat from her pocket, she suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right."

"Do not leave your room after midnight, otherwise..."

She smiled. "I can't guarantee what you'll see."

"That means we absolutely have to go out and see the world."

"Tooth Fairy Pip whispered, but Tian Nuan turned to look at Su Mian with a malicious glint in her eyes."

"My daughter, why is it you again yesterday and today? You wouldn't...?"

Before she could finish speaking, the others understood Tian Nuan's meaning: Su Mian might be the murderer.

"Are veteran players really that judgmental?"
