After the show Traveler ended, Yan Ruo had sent Yan-3 and Yan-5 to investigate Quicksand Mercenary in secret. He wanted to know how they managed to get into the production team and where they got the information that Bai Lin was Bilina.
To be able to get Quicksand Mercenary, the cancer of the industry, it was obvious that the person behind the scenes hated Bai Lin to the core.
At the same time, it also meant that their financial resources were impressive that they were able to convince the entire mercenary group to take action.
Yan Ruo had long suspected it. Zheng You was rich, powerful, and had a motive. However, he would not have any more contact with Zheng You, let alone fulfill the so-called marriage agreement, regardless of whether it was really her who did this.
“Best Actor Yan! Come and take a look too!” Zhou Guang shouted.
Yan Ruo put on a professional gentle and poised expression and returned to the group. He very naturally squeezed Li Xuan, who was standing next to Bai Lin, out of the way. “Any progress, Xiao Lin?”
“There’s progress, but there seems to be some evidence missing.” Bai Lin was a little confused. There must be something missing from the evidence. Did someone hide the evidence or did not find it during the search?
“Look, the hint here is that the doctor didn’t buy the poison, but Zheng You’s clue has half a bottle of poison found in the infirmary. No one else had the motive to use the poison, let alone hide it in the infirmary. There’s a contradiction here.”
Bai Lin explained her reasoning process in full detail. Yan Ruo did not say anything but focused on Bai Lin’s explanation to the others.
Her eyes were extremely clear, like deep pools of water and as if there were thousands of words and secrets that could not be revealed to outsiders.
Her light pink lips opened and closed, a crisp voice like a bell came out from those two lips.
As he looked down, he saw Bai Lin’s slender and beautiful neck.
Yan Ruo did not dare to look any longer. He felt his throat becoming drier.
“I think there are other clues related to the poison in the infirmary,” Bai Lin finished her sentence and stared at the half-filled bottle of poison.
“Since the poison wasn’t bought by the doctor, and the cause of death was indeed massive bleeding caused by the fall, we can rule out the doctor’s suspicion.” Zheng You raised an objection.
Zheng You pointed at the shoe print on the paper and continued to analyze, “In my opinion, the teacher is the most suspicious. She was the one who pushed her daughter down the stairs, causing her death.”
“Wouldn’t the other clues be useless then?” Zhou Guang did not agree with her.
“The poison’s just a way to interfere with our analysis. This is a common method in deduction games,” Zheng You who had never been friendly to Zhou Guang immediately retorted, “Also, the clues in the puzzle pictures did mention that the girl ate the poison, but the time of the poison working doesn’t match the time of the girl’s death.”
The atmosphere became a little awkward, but the broadcast did not sound again.
“What motive does a mother have to push her daughter down the stairs?” Bai Lin suddenly asked.
Zhou Guang knew that Bai Lin actually minded Zhao Yuan’s favoritism and cold treatment toward her for so many years, so he could not help but look at Bai Lin with concern.
There was not much fluctuation in her tone. It was just a calm narrative, but one could still hear the faint sadness in it.
“I’ll go alone. To the infirmary to look for clues again.” Bai Lin decided to return to the fifth floor alone.
Yan Ruo looked over and followed.
“I’ll go alone. You stay here with them to deduce the clues.” Bai Lin did not turn around, but she could guess that it was Yan Ruo from the sound of his footsteps. She still decided to act alone.
Seeing that Bai Lin had discovered him, Yan Ruo strode forward with his long legs and walked up alongside Bai Lin.
“Xiao Lin, we still have to respect the crew’s arrangements,” Yan Ruo said to Bai Lin in a serious tone.
Bai Lin was confused.
“You see, we were divided into a few groups when we first arrived, and we’re still going in groups after that. This means that the production team doesn’t want us to look for clues or complete the mission alone,” Yan Ruo said with absolute certainty.
Seeing Bai Lin’s pensive look, Yan Ruo continued, “And what if this is a hidden level set up by the production team? You might not meet the mission requirements if you go alone.”
Bai Lin nodded. “Best Actor Yan is indeed an experienced person in the entertainment industry.. Why didn’t I think of this?”
