There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

The security room was quiet, with nothing on the table except a liquid crystal computer.

There were only two pieces of software on the computer.

One was a chat room system with only text boxes, and the other was the amusement park's surveillance system.

But the only available surveillance footage was from the twenty-third of May, starting at midnight until midnight, exactly twenty-four hours of video.

If the mysterious person really wanted them to find the murderer, why not release all the surveillance videos from the days before and after the amusement park?

What made him think the clue was only present on the twenty-third?

Either he was the murderer,

or he didn't care at all about finding the murderer.

The six o'clock deadline was just a process of death throes for those trapped here.

Leaving the amusement park was the ultimate goal!

Hmm, and if possible, they might as well look for the mysterious person while they were at it.

Xu Shuo casually watched the surveillance video, then raised his head to look at the security camera in the room, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile as if he held a winning hand.

"I already know who the killer is,"

he said softly.

It was as if he were talking to the air, or perhaps to the vigilant eavesdropper on the other side of the camera.

Even without an echo, the young man continued on his own, "And I've got the absolute evidence of his crime, evidence that was discovered on the twenty-third.

"Do you want to know who it is?

"Although your ultimate goal is for sure to kill us all, you must be very interested in who the murderer is.

"Otherwise, there was no need for you to arrange this security room process, right?

"Of course, this might also be because you want to see our expressions of despair at that time, but I think, you still want to know who the murderer is."

Xu Shuo stared at the surveillance camera, his gaze sharp as a knife, his smile as gentle as snow: "I won't tell you here. If you want to know the truth, come out and see me."

"..."

After he finished speaking, the security room remained as silent as ever.

No echo came.

It was as if he really had been talking to the air.

Xu Shuo didn't care, gave a shrug to the camera, then turned back to watch the surveillance videos on the computer.

His relaxed demeanor was as if he were watching some interesting TV series,

completely unconcerned about the time slowly trickling by.

After a while, the chat room box popped up automatically on the computer screen, with a few words appearing on the panel—

[Dream on.]

Xu Shuo looked at the two characters meaning refusal, but his face suddenly burst into a brilliant smile.

A smile both delighted and thoroughly satisfied.

The surveillance cameras in the amusement park indeed didn't have audio recording devices, but the computer in the security room, the only computer in the whole amusement park, certainly had this feature!

The mysterious person not only could produce multiple types of photos of the deceased and the six suspects, but even access police investigation data which could mean that the person possessed advanced computer skills.

It was very likely he was watching them through the surveillance!

Of course, if all the above assumptions were invalid...

Then Xu Shuo would just obediently open the chat room and start typing.

Well, the process didn't matter anyway.

As long as the person had taken the bait.

This time, he didn't speak, but typed a reply in the chat room.

[Then, tell me how to leave the amusement park, how about it?]

This time, there was a long silence before the other side replied again.

Xu Shuo didn't rush, just closed the chat room box and continued to watch the surveillance video.

There's an old saying that when you want to open a window, try to lift the roof off first. That way, those who won't let you open a window will compromise—allowing you to open it.

This is the famous "house-demolishing effect"!

Xu Shuo's actions weren't even "demolishing the house," but directly inviting the mysterious person to come and meet his doom.

The option to meet hadn't been there from the start.

So, after another while, the other side sent another message:

[This is the very method I've prepared for you to leave. As long as you write out the information and evidence of the murderer here, I will let the one who solves the case leave.]

Xu Shuo calmly replied:

["No, I want you to tell me the way out first, otherwise, you can live on forever with the pain of never knowing the truth."]

The other side's reply came quickly as if they were provoked:

["What right do you have to threaten me! What qualifies you to threaten me!"]

["You are nothing more than a pitiful worm trapped in here! Without my help, your end will be to accompany her in death along with this filthy amusement park!"]

Xu Shuo: ["Oh, and then?"]

Xu Shuo: ["You think that someone like me, who can easily find the killer, can't find a way out of this amusement park? I just can't be bothered to investigate it, that's all."]

Xu Shuo: ["As for you, the only pitiful one here is you."]

Suddenly, several garbled symbols came from the other side.

Probably already so angry they're hammering on the keyboard.

From the state of the language spoken by this person through the loudspeaker earlier, their mental state didn't seem to be very stable, let alone, they might be an obsessive voyeur who followed the deceased.

The character information from the promoters didn't indicate that the deceased had any other very close people.

The two were now living together, very familiar with each other's daily habits, and the only people the deceased interacted with regularly were those between the amusement park and the rental apartment.

The mysterious person who took those life photos of the deceased might also live not far from them.

The usual bus journey from the rental apartment to the amusement park takes a smooth half hour, two hours if there is traffic, hence the deceased owned a small electric scooter.

There were even photos of the deceased riding the electric scooter.

The other party followed and photographed all the way from the rental house to the amusement park.

After typing out the garbled text, there was no reply from the other side for a while.

Xu Shuo was not in a hurry at all; he closed the pop-up chat room interface that occupied the whole screen and continued to watch the surveillance video from May 23rd.

Even though he had already watched it several times over.

Just then, a set of leisurely footsteps approached from outside the security room, meticulous and faint.

Xu Shuo's gaze shifted slightly as he opened the chat room and right-clicked to clear the screen with one key.

The footsteps stopped at the door of the security room.

"Hey, you're still here, huh? Did you find any new clues?" came a voice tinged with a smile.

Xu Shuo turned his head and saw a female visitor wearing a black knee-length knitted skirt who, even when walking in high heels, still moved silently.

He raised his hand and gently made a shushing gesture.

Seeing this, the female visitor's eyes flickered.

The promoters came here to look for a bomb, of course, they definitely couldn't outright say their purpose was to find a bomb.

The female visitor's gaze lingered on the computer for a moment, then shifted back to the young man, signaling with her eyes for him to come out.

Xu Shuo had no objections and stood up; the two of them left the security room and moved away to a distance.

But they didn't avoid the surveillance camera near the amusement park exit.

"What did you find?"

"What did you find?"

Both people spoke at the same time, then exchanged a glance. Xu Shuo graciously gestured for the female visitor to speak first.

The female visitor resisted the urge to roll her eyes, but she couldn't hold back a soft click of her tongue, "I found out that the mysterious person is a voyeur, but it's still unclear whether he has a direct connection with the deceased."

Xu Shuo's lips curled up, "What a coincidence, I also found out he's a voyeur."

Upon hearing this, the female visitor smoothed the wisps of hair on her forehead and continued, "Moreover, the voyeur might have also been in the amusement park on the 23rd."

Xu Shuo echoed again, "What a coincidence, I think so too."

The female visitor had nothing to say, "…I'm done, it's your turn."

However, as soon as her words fell, the young man closed in on her without warning.

The sense of oppression from his height instantly cast her in a shadow, and his pitch-black eyes, clear and pure, reflected her astonished expression, his seemingly out of the blue sense of danger even stifling her breath!

Her heart started pounding right away, and the female visitor's hands hanging at her sides clenched slightly as she breathed rapidly in the darkness of the shadow.

The young man's features remained soft, but his expression was cryptic, his eyes fixed firmly on her.

Suddenly, he asked lightly with a chuckle, "I have a question, do you think that mysterious person is the murderer?"

The female visitor's heart hammered wildly, at that moment her blood felt as if it had frozen in her veins!

A chill crept from her spine up to the apex of her head!

This wasn't about the issue of 'yes' or 'no'! Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

She had the intuition that if her answer wasn't good, there would definitely be big trouble!
