There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

The female tourist's brain was whirring wildly, she felt as if her thoughts had traveled through an extended period, but in reality, it was only a second of contemplation.

She answered decisively, "I don't want to know who the murderer is at all!"

She quickly added, "I just want to leave the amusement park, who the murderer is has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to know!"

Attempting to change the subject, she fumbled her words, "Um, didn't you say you wanted to find the bomb hidden in the amusement park? I just came over to ask how the search for the bomb is going..."

In the end, the female tourist nervously locked eyes with those pitch-black ones.

After a moment, Xu Shuo smiled softly.

His face brightened with a spring breeze when he smiled, and his demeanor became mellow and gentle, with soft brows and eyes that easily gave the impression of approachability.

Xu Shuo said, "Actually, I think finding a way to leave the amusement park is more urgent than finding the murderer. It's possible that the mysterious person won't let us leave just because we uncover the murderer. From the state of his broadcast at the time, it seemed more like he wanted us all to die here."

The female tourist nodded like a pecking chicken, "Yes! Actually, I was thinking the same thing! ...So, how is the search for the bomb going?"

"The bomb, we haven't found it yet," said Xu Shuo with a troubled expression. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

"Oh, it's okay, if you can't find it, I can help you look for it!" the female tourist responded quickly.

At this time, the sense of crisis that had arisen in her earlier had slightly eased.

Thankfully, before coming over, she had mentally prepared herself, prioritizing leaving the amusement park as her main task, with finding the murderer as secondary.

Therefore, when faced with that question akin to a deadly inquiry, her brain instinctively provided the most direct answer!

The female tourist wiped an imaginary bead of cold sweat from her forehead.

Xu Shuo continued, "Just now, I was reviewing the surveillance footage from the 23rd. If that mysterious person truly was stalking and spying on the victim, he might have appeared on the path taken by the victim or at a location where he could see her."

Finally getting back to the main topic, the female tourist's anxiety subsided, and rational thoughts began to overflow again.

She reminisced a bit before saying, "Just now, I took another careful look at the photos on the billboard, and it seems the victim entering the amusement park was captured in a photo dated the 23rd."

If her back was captured, it definitely must have been from outside the amusement park.

"The next photo is of her walking straight towards the amusement park office building, taken in Central Square at that time," said Xu Shuo.

"Right, I remember that angle, it seems like it was taken from the direction of the restaurant!" the female tourist said, suddenly catching on.

But then, she paused abruptly.

It seemed like the only time the youth had looked at the photos on the billboard was when they had just woken up, when the group was about to head to the security room.

She had also doubled back to look at them with the others at that time.

But the whole process took less than half an hour.

The billboard was densely covered with more than a hundred photos, particularly of the victim, from various times and perspectives, which was quite confusing.

But this guy remembered everything after just one look?!

The female tourist's pupils dilated with shock as she gazed at him.

Xu Shuo, who was recalling the past, noticed the overly intense gaze, paused, and looked over, "What's wrong?"

The female tourist quickly averted her gaze and said uncomfortably, "Nothing, I was just thinking about whether there were any photos taken afterwards."

There definitely were more photos taken after that.

The amusement park office building was near the North Gate, and the victim had arrived at the amusement park's East Gate around three o'clock in the afternoon, afterwards wandering about aimlessly on the street outside the park—the surveillance camera at the gate caught glimpses of somebody's figure.

Then, suddenly entering the amusement park at around four o'clock, she headed directly for the office building.

She seemed to be very clear about the location of the Park Director's office, going up to the third floor and pushing open the door, she first searched around the room.

She might have been looking for someone, but at that time, the Park Director was not in the amusement park.

In the end, it seemed that as the agreed time approached, and with no other options, the victim reluctantly left the office and took a fruit knife that had been resting on a desk, concealing it on her person.

The photo of her entering the office was taken from an angle that seemed to be from the "Sky Walk" attraction.

After that, the victim did not take the Central Square route—as her actual boyfriend was strolling around Central Square at that time.

She detoured via a green pathway and last appeared next to the "Rapids Advance" ride, and then she disappeared around a corner that the surveillance could not see.

The last photograph was a three-quarter view of the victim walking along the path.

"There's basically nothing to obstruct his figure if you want to take that photo!" the female tourist said excitedly, "There are no buildings around that path, and the greenery consists only of grass planters and rather short shrubs!"

"However, there were other people on that path," Xu Shuo said with a smile.

"..." The female tourist calmed down a bit.

Xu Shuo waved her over, and then they once again entered the security room, where the computer interface still showed the surveillance footage.

Since he had been watching the video for quite a while, Xu Shuo remembered the timestamp and dragged the progress bar to around four o'clock in the afternoon, then clicked play.

The camera was installed on a utility pole not far away.

It could capture a glimpse of the shadow of the green plant-laden path, but more of it was aimed at the main road.

In the footage, the victim's figure flashed by in the corner as he entered the path, soon after which several tourists passed by on this road leading to the east exit of the amusement park.

There were tourists in groups of three or two, as well as a few lone visitors, and lastly, a familiar-looking couple.

The female tourist: "..."

Damn it, it was her and her boyfriend!

She linked the clues together!

Most tourists planned to leave around four o'clock in the afternoon, which is why more people were passing by on this road at that time.

She and her boyfriend had also been planning to leave, but they were just strolling along, taking their time, and playing along the way; there was a small ceramic painting workshop next to Central Square, so they decided to pass by this road and paint something as souvenirs.

After they finished painting and came out, her boyfriend said he wanted to go to the public restroom up front.

While waiting, she saw the Haunted House not far away!

Then, she spontaneously suggested playing in the Haunted House!

The female tourist clenched her fists, glanced at the surveillance screen, then her gaze drifted unintentionally towards the void, staring intently at the character information on the Player's Handbook.

However, the script provided no explanation!

The character's information only mentioned back-and-forth interaction between her and her boyfriend, without offering anything extra!

Damn it! Why couldn't Script Space give her memories!

They had both walked that path at the time; they might have even come face-to-face with the stalker!

The female tourist looked rather frustrated as she took her eyes off the Player's Handbook, but then she noticed the young man was also looking at her intently.

That dark gaze was serious and pure.

As if waiting for her to come up with some clue.

Suddenly, the female tourist broke into a cold sweat!

But she didn't have any clues, there was nothing in the character script to hint at this, and she didn't have the memory of an involved party, she had no clues at all!

Oh, come on, stop staring at her, she really didn't have any clues!

She really knew nothing at all!

...

But in fact, compared to a threatening gaze, the young man's look was more like sizing up and anticipating something interesting, with curiosity hidden in the depths of his dark eyes.

Xu Shuo was indeed curious.

He was curious about what reaction and tricks this woman could conjure under a crisis.

To be honest, she was quite entertaining when she, clearly frantic and irritable inside, still insisted on maintaining that seemingly bone-deep elegance and restraint on the surface, which was quite fun to tease.

It's just that her brain sometimes worked fast and sometimes slow.

In fact, by combining footage from other areas of the surveillance cameras, it was easy to deduce the real mysterious person from among those few passersby.

But she was probably too scared to think of that...
