Binding to the nation's destiny: Start by choosing the underworld, where a hundred ghosts parad

Feifei first comforted Gao Xuan, patted his shoulder, and then said shyly, "Last night, I went upstairs with Brother Xi. After Brother Xi rejected me, Gao Xuan opened the door and came out. When he saw me and Brother Xi, he was very angry."

Feifei pursed her lips as she said this.

"He pulled me into his room and talked to me about our problems. Then I left his room, went back to my own room, and went to sleep. I didn't hear anything."

Li Mo nodded, then looked at Xiao Zhang sitting at the back: "And you?"

Xiao Zhang didn't expect Li Mo to ask him what he did last night. Didn't Li Mo already know? Why ask again?

How was he supposed to answer that?

Xiao Zhang could only pretend to be uneasy and kept giving Li Mo meaningful glances.

Li Mo could only ask, "What did you do after one o'clock last night? Did you hear anything?"

To be honest, Xiao Zhang heard a lot, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not!

It also involves Li Mo. He said last night that he wanted to follow Li Mo, but he was a little angry and took it out on Li Mo. He was rebuffed, and Li Mo's imposing manner towards Gao Xuan just now scared Xiao Zhang's restless heart.

"Last night, I was in my room and I heard Brother Xi go out. Then there was no sound. I thought I had misheard. Then I heard the sound of a door closing. Brother Xi went downstairs and came back a little while later."

After Xiao Zhang finished speaking, he seemed afraid that he hadn't explained things in enough detail, so he added another sentence.

“I can confirm that Xige didn’t go out again after he came back. It was around 2:10. I checked the time then and went to sleep.”

After Xiao Zhang finished speaking, he looked up at Li Mo and then lowered his head.

Li Mo spoke up at this moment.

"Everyone has talked about what happened last night, so I'll say mine too."

This statement drew everyone's attention. Li Mo smiled slightly and spoke while recalling the events.

“At midnight last night, I was just about to go to sleep when Xiao Zhang came over and chatted with me for a while. He told me about some things related to the survival game. I was very grateful that he took the initiative to talk to me. He went back around 1 a.m.”

After Li Mo finished speaking, he smiled and nodded to Xiao Zhang, then continued speaking.

"After Xiao Zhang left, I went back to bed at 6:20. I don't know when, but I heard someone trying to pick my lock. I was startled awake, got up, grabbed a vase, and stood guard by the door. When the person came in, I hit him."

Seeing the interest in the eyes of others, Li Mo remained calm and composed.

“You guessed right, that person was Brother Xi! Brother Xi blocked my attack with his right forearm, but I took the knife from him and held it to his neck. He said that someone has to die every day, either he kills me or the assassin kills one of us.”

"He meant that he didn't want to die, so he was willing to kill someone for the assassin, and the person he chose was me."

Gao Xuan suddenly became agitated, pointing at Li Mo: "So you held a grudge and wanted to kill Brother Xi, right? You poisoned Brother Xi when he went downstairs and killed him."

Gao Xuan finished speaking in one breath, his excitement as if he had finally caught Li Mo's weakness. His eyes shone with an eerie excitement that made Li Mo very uncomfortable.

"Don't get agitated. If I were to kill Xige, I wouldn't have said it."

On the contrary, Li Mo appeared calm and composed, a stark contrast to Gao Xuan. Fei Fei couldn't help but frown slightly, but quickly relaxed, and no one noticed.

"Later, I talked to Brother Xi. He realized he couldn't do anything to me, so he gave up. I also kept the knife. It's still under my pillow. I think Brother Xi is a very straightforward person, so I believe he's not the assassin and let him go."

"You all know what happened next. Xi Ge went downstairs to get the spray and ran into Fei Fei. On his way back, he ran into Gao Xuan. Xi Ge went back to his room alone. So, in the whole process, who do you think had the most time to commit the crime?"

After the question was asked, everyone fell into deep thought and remained silent.

Li Mo himself was also thinking that Xiao Zhang and Fei Fei had the most time and were the most convenient.

Let's talk about Xiao Jia first. If she were to poison someone, she would only do so when happy Ge leaves his room and goes downstairs, and then she goes upstairs.

As it turned out, Xiao Zhang didn't hear anyone come up during this time, and she also had no way to control Xi Ge from leaving the room. There were too many uncertainties in giving her the time to commit the crime, so Xiao Jia was the first to be ruled out.

The second person to be ruled out is Gao Xuan.

From the moment Li Mo first appeared, Gao Xuan acted strangely and seemed to be targeting Li Mo. Li Mo was certain that Gao Xuan was hiding something, and that it was related to him, but it had little to do with the matter of Xi Ge's murder.

Like Xiao Jia, it would be difficult for him to create an opportunity to poison her; there are many uncertain factors, which can be ruled out.

The only one left is Xiao Zhang. This kid climbed onto his balcony in the middle of the night, claiming to be surrendering, but his words today were clearly meant to sow discord, so this kid is petty.

If Xiao Zhang is the assassin, it's very likely that his first target would be himself.

However, he discovered this yesterday. He probably felt that if he fought with me, others would definitely come along, so he gave up and simply tried to befriend me to reduce the possibility of me being exposed.

After returning to his room, he decided to turn his attention to Brother happy.

After all, only the three of them lived in these three floors, and going downstairs would be too easy to expose them.

On the third floor, we had just talked, so even if he saw something, Xiao Zhang could simply make up an excuse to explain.

However, Xiao Zhang probably didn't expect that Brother Xi would later come to Li Mo's room, so he kept waiting for an opportunity to see if there was anything he could take advantage of.

As expected, he waited until Brother Xi came downstairs to treat his wounds, so Xiao Zhang took the opportunity to sneak into Brother Xi's room and poisoned the water.

When Xige returned, he drank the water without knowing what was happening and died immediately.

So in the end, happy Ge probably didn't even know who killed her, leaving no clues whatsoever.

Of course, these are all Li Mo's own guesses and deductions.

As for whether it is Xiao Zhang, further evidence is needed to prove it; no crucial evidence has been found yet.

Chapter 489: Surveillance Camera? You think this is a crime investigation game? (Please customize)

If Feifei was the assassin, then Li Mo guessed that the crime was committed as follows.

According to their custom, Xige is the first person to get up in the morning to make breakfast.

So Feifei didn't want to kill someone at night, but rather in the morning, before everyone else had gotten up, so she could frame Xige.

It's also possible that the direct target is Brother Xi. As for how to make a move, Li Mo said he didn't know and hadn't figured it out.

In short, the reason Feifei went downstairs last night wasn't because she was hungry, as she claimed; it was probably because she was poisoned.

Unexpectedly, before she could even make a move, she saw Xige come downstairs. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she handed the medicine 590 to Xige and told him that he needed to take it orally.

After all, Feifei helped get the medicine, and Xige didn't take much. Xige went back to his room by himself.

After treating the injury on my arm, I took the pill.

Or you can just take a new cup from the kitchen; the one in Xige's room is one of them.

She told Xige to take it back and drink it, and Xige obediently drank it. In order to confirm whether Xige was dead, Feifei got up early the next morning and went to Xige's room to clean up the extra cups.

Then, he pretended to be frightened and woke everyone up.

Of course, this was also Li Mo's own guess based on various signs.

So whether it was Xiao Zhang or Fei Fei who was the assassin, Li Mo found this result somewhat unacceptable.

Li Mo also began to wonder if he had been too subjective, and whether Xiao Jia and Gao Xuan might be lying and murdering Xi Ge.

He sighed helplessly to himself; there was nothing here, nothing to test.

Otherwise, we can simply test the water in the cup to see if it's poisonous, whether there are other people's fingerprints on it, and also check the villa's surveillance footage to determine if these people are lying.

Thinking of this, Li Mo looked up and asked the others, "Are there any security cameras in the villa in this instance?"

Xiao Jia couldn't help but laugh.

"Li Mo, you're hilarious! Are you treating this like a copy of a criminal investigation case? Of course there are no surveillance cameras here. If there were, wouldn't it be easy to expose the assassin?!"

Li Mo touched his nose somewhat awkwardly, and continued to ask, "Are there any unopened warehouses or rooms? Are there any tool sheds? Those would be fine too."

Seeing Li Mo's serious expression, Xiao Jia suppressed her smile and thought about it carefully.

Then he shook his head and said with some regret, "It seems there really aren't any, but there might be some in the supply crates. But we're not going to skip the supply crates today, anyway we have enough to eat."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo suddenly stood up, making his stance clear.

"I want to go out and find a supply box. Although we have enough food now, who knows if the assassins will poison our food? Getting more food and tools is definitely good, and maybe we'll find an antidote again!"

Upon hearing Li Mo's words, Xiao Jia and Xiao Zhang's eyes immediately lit up, looking at Li Mo with excited gleam. Li Mo was filled with anticipation and eagerness to try.

Feifei and Gao Xuan exchanged a glance. Feifei hesitated and said, "What if we get separated in the forest? It would be troublesome if we encountered danger. At least there aren't so many uncontrollable factors in the villa."

Gao Xuan immediately declared, "I support Feifei. Whatever Feifei says, I'll do!"

Chapter 490: An Olive Branch for Li Mo! A Hidden Assassin! (Please Submit)

Li Mo suggested directly, "Feifei's concerns are valid; we can split up and act separately."

At this point, Li Mo deliberately paused for a moment.

He said meaningfully, "But those who are assigned to the assassins may encounter danger, and at that time they will truly be helpless."

Xiao Zhang immediately stood up and came behind Li Mo, clearly indicating that he wanted to follow Li Mo.

Xiao Jia looked left and right, standing hesitantly in the middle, seemingly unsure of what to choose. Li Mo remained silent. After a while, Xiao Jia slowly walked to Li Mo's side.

Xiao Jia's idea was simple: she believed that Fei-Fei was not the assassin.

If Gao Xuan were to encounter any trouble while pursuing Fei Fei, he wouldn't consider his own safety.

Li Mo has two men on his side. Even if something happens, Li Mo isn't an assassin, so he'll help them.

Seeing the current situation, Feifei looked at Li Mo in disbelief.

Feifei couldn't accept that Li Mo was going against her, even though she had extended an olive branch first.

Moreover, Xiao Jia had always been on his side, after all, they were both girls.

Now, however, she went to Li Mo's side. Fei Fei glared angrily at Li Mo, and Li Mo naturally saw Fei Fei's expression.

He said innocently, "The assassin is hiding among us. Anyone could be the one. I'm sure I'm not. You guys even told me the rules of the game. So I suggest we act together so we can protect each other."

Li Mo didn't make any excuses or reasons; he simply stated the facts, which made others more convinced.

Feifei lowered her head and thought for a moment, then realized that Li Mo wasn't targeting her personally, and was being very sincere.

Without a hint of doubt, Feifei nodded. She had a weapon on her, so even if something happened, she would be able to protect herself. Indeed, there was always a chance of survival if there were many people together.

"Okay, let's go out and find some survival supply boxes together, and then come back."

The group then went out together. Li Mo took Xi Ge's knife with him, and the others didn't say anything when they saw it.

Each person grabbed a handy tool, and this time Feifei led the way, because there wouldn't be any more supply crates in the area, so they needed to search for new places.

Although Gao Xuan didn't say anything, he kept staring at Li Mo with a strange look.

Li Mo was quite helpless. Everyone was concerned about their own lives, and Li Mo didn't think he had a very close relationship with Fei Fei.
