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

After Feifei arrived, Gao Xuan and Xiao Zhang tied up Li Mo and Xiao Jia, and the three of them sat on the sofa next to them.

Li Mo remained calm and composed.

Xiao Jia, however, was filled with grievance and confusion, glancing at Fei Fei from time to time with pleading eyes.

"I have to admire you. I was fooled by you at first, especially when it came to Brother Xi's death. I never thought it was related to you until just now. I finally figured out what happened."

Li Mo slowly began to explain his analysis.

“At the beginning, I didn’t know anything. Feifei was the first to extend an olive branch to me. I didn’t agree, but chose to consider it. That night, Xige died. Actually, that night, Xiao Zhang climbed over the balcony to find me, before Xige.”

Everyone was looking at Xiao Zhang, who lowered his head somewhat timidly.

"So, regarding Brother Xi's death that night, after hearing all of your timelines and the trajectory and motives behind all your actions, I most suspect Xiao Zhang and Fei Fei."

Feifei was somewhat surprised and seemed to want to say something, but Li Mo didn't let her speak.

"Don't worry, let me explain what I was thinking at the time. It was strange for Feifei to come to the kitchen in the middle of the night. She was planning to poison someone. But when she saw Xige coming down to look for the spray, she immediately targeted him and killed him. Of course, we now know it wasn't Feifei."

Li Mo turned to Xiao Zhang as he finished speaking.

“What I was thinking at the time was that you were able to nimbly climb over the balcony to find me, you were agile, and your personality wasn’t as timid and silent as you are now, so I guessed that after leaving my room you went out to commit the crime, and you still had time to do it.”

He paused here, then gave a self-deprecating laugh: "So when we were searching for the assassin together the next day, I didn't respond to you actively, because you were on my suspect list at the time."

Li Mo looked at Xiao Jia across from him again.

“I ruled you out first. You said you heard Feifei opening the door next door that night and then fell asleep without going out. At the time, I thought Xiao Zhang didn’t hear anyone coming upstairs, and there were many uncertainties about your involvement.”

Li Mo gave him an admiring look.

"It was mainly your state at the time that affected me. It made me think that you were a girl who was terrified because someone you knew had died. But that's not the case. You said you were asleep in the room, but no one can prove that, right?"

Xiao Jia defended herself, feeling wronged.

“I didn’t kill Xige, and like you said, how would I know Feifei would come out, Xige would go downstairs, or when Xige would come back upstairs? I wouldn’t know any of that. How could I be sure that these things would happen?”

Li Mo nodded, admitting it directly.

"Yes, some of these things don't make sense. It's because I didn't understand them that I ruled you out. And I'm also sure that what you said that night was true. You heard Feifei leave the house and then you fell asleep. You weren't lying."

Feifei, Gao Xuan, and Xiao Zhang were all a bit confused, and even Xiao Jia, who was said to be the murderer, was stunned for a moment.

I don't understand. Didn't Li Mo just say that he killed happy Ge?

He cleared himself of suspicion so easily?!

Three other people shared the same thought as Xiao Jia, and they all looked at Li Mo with surprise and confusion.

I want to know what Li Mo means.

Li Mo didn't keep them in suspense and told them directly.

“You’re not lying because you don’t need to lie. You didn’t even need to act that night. In fact, you had already administered the drug without our knowledge. Am I right? I remember it was my first day here.”

"You and Brother Xi prepared dinner together that day. I remember when I entered the restaurant, it was you, Xiao Jia, who served the last soup. Everyone else was already seated except for me. You knew everyone else's habits except for me."

After Li Mo finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Jia's expression on the other side.

At this moment, Xiao Jia was confused and aggrieved, and seemed unwilling to admit it.

Li Mo wasn't in a hurry to get her to admit it, after all, he had quite a few clues.

“You’ve lived together for four days, so you can basically guess where everyone will be sitting. So you definitely won’t kill me, because you don’t know where I’ll be sitting. And of all the people here, only Brother Xi is the one you’re most familiar with.”

Xiao Jia bit her lip and shook her head, denying it.

"I didn't, it wasn't me, it really wasn't me, you have to believe me!"

At this moment, Feifei seemed to feel sorry for Xiaojia and questioned Li Mo: "You said that Xiaojia poisoned him, but we all saw it. Xige was fine at the time, and we all saw Xige so late at night. Xige - he's not dead!"

Li Mo nodded in agreement.

"That's where Xiao Jia's brilliance lies. Who said the poison she used was effective immediately? Doesn't she know there's a drug that slows down death?! I bet Xiao Jia didn't intend for Xi Ge to die too soon, but rather for him to die before she made breakfast."

He looked into Xiao Jia's eyes and said, "That's why you can sleep peacefully without any worries, because you know that Brother Xi will definitely die the next morning. It's just that Brother Xi came to my room at night and fought with me, which accelerated the effects of the drug and caused him to die earlier."

No one else spoke at this moment, because they didn't know what to say.

After all, Xige's body is no longer there, so Li Mo's statement is just his reasoning.

It sounds reasonable, but there is no concrete evidence to prove it.

Xiao Jia looked at Li Mo angrily: "These are all your own thoughts. Didn't you say before that you suspected Fei Fei and Xiao Zhang? There's no evidence, it's just your own one-sided statement."

Li Mo sighed upon hearing Xiao Jia's words.

"Yes, you're right. I don't have direct evidence of Xige's death, but I have other proof. Don't worry, listen carefully, and you'll understand why I believe you are the assassin."

Li Mo turned his head to look at Xiao Zhang.

"Please loosen your grip a bit, I want to drink some mineral water."

Xiao Zhang stood up, but did not immediately untie Li Mo. Instead, he looked at Fei Fei and Gao Xuan.

Li Mo gave a helpless smile, feeling that his suggestion to tie him up had backfired. He hadn't expected to be punished so quickly.

"Don't worry, my feet are tied so tightly, I won't run away. Besides, where could I run to? I know better than you what's in the forest. And I need to get evidence later, so you still need to untie me."

Feifei nodded: "Okay, we'll let you go, but only with your hands. Don't try anything funny."

Chapter 516: You're quite the actor! What happened to the supply crate again? (Please customize)

Xiao Zhang released Li Mo's hand, but only his forearm could move.

When Xiao Jia saw Li Mo like this, she was about to ask for a favor, but Li Mo shut her down.

"Forget about it, Xiao Jia. You're an assassin, you've been through several deputy squads, your system's inventory should be activated by now, right? Who knows if you have any other lethal weapons in your inventory?! I'm a newbie who hasn't unlocked anything yet."

Feifei, who originally wanted to release Xiaojia as well, heard Li Mo's words.

At the same time, thinking of the pistol he had shown to Li Mo, he stopped thinking. Indeed, Li Mo, putting aside everything else, had at least shown them the system interface, making him a complete novice.

So, just like he said, once they're freed, they're no match for these people. But if Xiao Jia really is an assassin, he must have a lot of things to protect himself, and they won't be able to defend against him.

Seeing Feifei silently sit back down, Xiao Jia couldn't help but snort at Li Mo.

Li Mo had to admire Xiao Jia. Even at this point, she was still acting. She really wouldn't give up until the very last moment. As expected of someone chosen by the system as an assassin, her mental fortitude was extraordinary.

"Alright, you can continue now. What evidence do you have?" Gao Xuan said to Li Mo with a cold face.

Li Mo smiled and continued.

"Then it was my turn to fall off the cliff. At that time, only one person's expression was off. As I just mentioned, that person was Feifei. I don't know why Feifei had that expression, and I even saw it. I can let that go."

"Let's talk about Xiao Jia'e's story. I fell off a cliff while holding a supply box, so after I was rescued, I went to check the supply box by myself. Guess what I found?"

This topic clearly piqued the interest of others, and Xiao Zhang couldn't help but ask.

"What did you touch? Is it a weapon?"

Li Mo rolled his eyes at Xiao Zhang, then took out the antidote from his clothes bag and placed it on the coffee table.

"Antidote? Another antidote?"

Xiao Zhang muttered to himself while looking down, while Li Mo watched Fei Fei and Xiao Jia.

"Isn't it a coincidence? It seems I have a special connection with the antidote. I found it last time, but it was stolen and its whereabouts are currently unknown. However, we have it again now, so you don't need to worry."

Feifei's face broke into a smile, while Xiao Zhang relaxed a lot and became much more cheerful.

Li Mo did not stop, but continued speaking.

"I won't go into the scary part about last night. Let's get down to business. Before you came, I found the supply box stuck in the tree branch. I had already touched the supply box you were looking at before you arrived. When I saw you coming, I took it down."

Xiao Zhang couldn't help but ask, "What's inside? Is it an antidote?"

Li Mo shrugged, without giving a direct answer.

"It was around 2.4, so I was thinking, once or twice is a coincidence, but it had already happened three times by then. How could I do it without arousing my suspicion? So I felt like I had caught something."

Li Mo smiled at Xiao Jia, whose expression was not good at the moment.

But she still stubbornly retorted to Li Mo: "What's so strange about the supply box? This thing is just like this, you're just lucky."

"At first, I thought so too and didn't take it seriously. But when I found the supply box, I realized that every time I took out something, it was related to medicine. What does that mean?"

Li Mo's words surprised everyone else; they were unaware that this was the first time they had been surprised today.

Li Mo's words constantly refreshed my understanding.

So the recovery was quick this time, but in the end they all fell into deep thought.

Xiao Jia looked puzzled. What was the big deal? What did it have to do with her?

"So I guess there are actually roles among the survivors. Since there are assassins, why aren't there healers? I think I am that role. Otherwise, why didn't any of you get your hands on the medical supplies? And Feifei too."

Gao Xuan asked warily, "What's wrong with Feifei? What are you going to say now?"

Li Mo ignored Gao Xuan and looked into Fei Fei's eyes instead.

"Didn't you guys notice? Every time Feifei touches the supply crate, it's always full of supplies, and they're all food. You guys call it 'lucky hands,' doesn't that prove anything? So I started to recall, do you remember the crate I had when I first arrived?"

"When Feifei asked what they had touched, Xiaojia rushed to answer. Didn't you guys think about why? I was a little confused at the time, and I thought Xiaojia was just an impatient person."

Li Mo's words made the others recall that there seemed to be such a thing.

At the time, no one paid much attention to it or took it seriously. Did they realize that the supply box was so important?

"So I'm thinking, if this instance is supposed to provide food, why not have it spawn at a fixed location on a regular schedule, instead of forcing survivors to go out and find it? And even if they have to find it themselves, why should everyone have to figure it out on their own? And everyone finds different things!"

His steady voice echoed in the living room, and everyone fell silent, including Xiao Jia.

"Furthermore, you told me that only assassins can touch the weapons, which makes me even more certain that the supply boxes are for identifying people. That's why they're set up this way, so that survivors can't get them easily, and at the same time, they serve as a clue to the assassin's identity."

Xiao Jia said somewhat anxiously.

"Even if that's what you're saying, how can you prove I'm the assassin? I never even touched a weapon!"

"You didn't take out your weapon because even if you did, you didn't dare to. I've noticed that every time you take out something, you're missing one or two items compared to everyone else. Why is that? Because it's a weapon, and you don't dare to take it out in front of everyone!"
