There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

Xu Shuo could say with certainty that there had been no dispute between him and his girlfriend, and their relationship had been very good until before the victim's death.

Of course, he also hadn't noticed any signs of his girlfriend cheating.

So he held his reservations about the matter, "Perhaps the importance of that matter made her take leave, we were actually at the point of talking about marriage, so there was no need to fuss over some ordinary holidays."

What he said wasn't very convincing.

The female tourist still looked excited for gossip and asked seriously, "Then, on the day of May 20, when you met her, was there anything about her that wasn't right?"

Xu Shuo pretended to ponder, "It was pretty normal, but I was busy that day. I only met her briefly when I got to the Haunted House, and then I spent the rest of the time giving out candies elsewhere in the amusement park."

"How many days did you work part-time?" the male security guard suddenly asked.

"The initial agreement was a week, eighty yuan per day," Xu Shuo replied, "but after working for three days and noticing fewer visitors, the Park Director came to me and said I could either stay on longer, or we could settle the wages the next day."

"Wait, don't you have a job?" the female tourist suddenly looked at him with a strange expression.

"I've had several jobs, and now as a salesman, I have more flexible time," Xu Shuo said, somewhat embarrassed.

"During these three days, were you in frequent contact with your girlfriend?" the male security guard asked.

"That wasn't the case, only on the 22nd when it wasn't so busy, did I have time to go talk to her, but I didn't see her at all on the 23rd, until..." The youth's expression became slightly forlorn as he said this.

That statement was true.

The surveillance footage from the amusement park on the 23rd showed the mascot frequently walking near the Haunted House, but perhaps because he never saw his girlfriend who sold tickets at the entrance, he left again.

After wandering around aimlessly, the mascot began to loaf about in Central Square, and maybe due to tiredness, found a tree to lean against and started to nap around four o'clock.

That was the mascot's entire day of activities on May 23.

As idle as to make any observer bored.

And except for his frequent trips to the Haunted House area, there weren't other suspicious tracks.

But now his reason to check the Haunted House seemed to add another, to see his girlfriend, which was good, one less suspicious behavior!

As the saying goes, the less suspicious a person is, the more suspicious they become!

What's more, in his situation where he might have been cuckolded?

A man who's been cuckolded, can nearly do anything!

As the male security guard mulled over these thoughts, he silently observed the youth, smiling slightly and nodding in response without saying a word.

"By the way, was that pink pearl necklace a gift from you?" the woman tourist suddenly asked.

"It was from me, she really liked pearls."

Xu Shuo turned to look at her; his black eyes appeared even blacker in the Haunted House but there was a glint of bright light deep within them, flickering faintly under the dark red lights of the ceiling.

The woman tourist had more questions, but under his intense gaze, she suddenly forgot her words.

She felt the wind in the passageway growing colder.

Strange, why did she find that look so familiar?

Yet she couldn't articulate the feeling.

Eventually, the female tourist uncomfortably shifted her gaze away, looking down at the scattered pearls on the ground and said, "I've seen the photos on the bulletin board, the victim really liked this pink pearl necklace, I think your relationship on the surface must still be very good."

As she spoke, she twirled her fingertips, recalling the small white pearl she had found earlier.

Hmm, now that item had been confiscated.

She ultimately didn't dare bring it up.

"But assuming she really did cheat, we now need to find her affair partner," the female tourist calmed her mind and continued, "The murderer might have used this to threaten the victim."

"The object of the affair..." the male security guard mused.

Among the six people, excluding the mysterious person with an unidentified gender and age, only the male visitor himself had a girlfriend, which left just him and the Park Director.

Of course, unless the male visitor was also cheating.

The female visitor also thought of this and, running her fingers through her hair, said, "Among the three of you, I think the most suspicious is the amusement park's Park Director, considering the deceased worked here and even had free access to his office."

The male security guard immediately looked at Xu Shuo, "Has your girlfriend ever mentioned the amusement park's Park Director to you?"

Reflecting on it, Xu Shuo said, "On May 20th, when I wanted her to take a day off, she mentioned that the Park Director was very kind to her, so she felt bad about asking for leave during this busy period."

Instantly, the look the other two gave him was quite strange.

As if his head was already glowing green.

Xu Shuo: "..."

That kind of look really made one involuntarily want to touch their head.

Tucking away the information about the affair for the moment, the male security guard, after checking the situation on his side, turned to the female visitor and said, "Show me the body you saw, too."

The female visitor nodded, with a slight look of disdain as she began to search through the pile of zombie models where the deceased lay. After she touched it for about ten seconds, the body appeared in the male security guard's line of sight.

The male security guard put down the body he had checked, stood up, and went over to examine the state of the newly deceased.

The female visitor made room for him, standing aside in the aisle.

The eerie music of the Haunted House continued, and the cool breeze coming from the blackness at the first corner blew through the corridors, with the female visitor hugging her arms and leaning against the wall.

While the male security guard was examining the cause of death, she alternated between glancing at the passage they had come through and occasionally at the other corridor.

She seemed a little distracted.

"What's the matter?"

Suddenly, a seemingly concerned voice came from beside her, instantly jolting the female visitor back to her senses.

She nervously looked up at the tall figure nearly eclipsing her and blinked, saying, "Nothing much, just curious why the Haunted House ended up like this, I'm worried there really might be ghosts in here."

Xu Shuo laughed, "There probably aren't any ghosts, otherwise they would have already been hovering around us, wailing and complaining."

The female visitor forced a smile.

In truth, she wasn't afraid of ghosts whether they were there or not, but why did she always feel so uneasy?

At this point, the male security guard finished examining the fresh corpse but hadn't turned up many useful clues; a body from half an hour ago and half an hour later hardly had any difference.

"Did you find any clues on your side?" the male security guard asked Xu Shuo.

"The passage I saw was very clean, nothing special," Xu Shuo apologized with a chagrined expression.

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly spread out his palm to show the two, with a small white pearl resting in his hand.

Xu Shuo said, "Almost forgot, she found a little white pearl on her side just now, I took it over to have a look, I wonder if this could also be a clue?"

The female visitor abruptly turned her head towards the young man!

In the darkness, her eyes bore an unmistakable surprise, but she quickly realized her lapse and lowered her head.

She had thought before...

She had thought this guy wanted to keep it hidden.

Was it a misunderstanding on her part?
