The recording of this episode of the variety show is about to begin, just as the truth is about to be revealed.
Su Qi sat in the dressing room, rubbing her brows as the makeup artist worked on her.
Shen Chaohuai came in to visit and happened to hear Su Qi's system making such a sound.
He seemed to understand something and smiled slightly.
No wonder she joined forces with him to turn the tables and help Gu Xing "kill" her.
The variety show effects she created not only brought popularity to the show, but also earned her a wave of positive reviews for having already grasped the truth.
At the same time, Gu Xing's true colors were publicly exposed, revealing his meticulous nature, much like Empress Su Qi, who once lived in the empire.
He looked at her with a somewhat dazed expression, and the figure in front of him suddenly overlapped with the woman in the formal military uniform.
He laughed and said, "Your fans are visiting the set, aren't you going to see them?"
Su Qi rubbed his temples: "I just saw him."
"Really? Then why haven't they left yet?"
"Perhaps they were too enthusiastic. After all, I heard I was injured during yesterday's recording." Su Qi picked up the perfume on the table and sprayed it on the back of her neck, trying to cover up the smell of alcohol and pheromones on her body.
"The injuries you sustained today are enough to make your fans cry their eyes out," Shen Chaohuai joked.
Lynn rolled her eyes at him: "You can't just say things like that. Our Xiao Qi is a female star; she can't get hurt so easily."
"Um... I was wrong." Shen Chaohuai turned and left, and the production team came to invite Su Qi to the variety show set.
Since appearing on the list of potential artists, Su Qi's value has increased several times over. Off-screen viewers are placing their bets on her, meaning that Su Qi's performance on the variety show is directly related to the subsequent revenue of the dating show.
Therefore, the production team took special care of Su Qi.
He Yizhen couldn't help but sigh: "It's true that fortunes change. The last person who was so successful was the one who faded into obscurity."
Xu Xiaowan retorted, "Things are different now. Why are you still bringing up that person? Oh, I almost forgot, you were practically begging to be her lackey during the filming of the previous seasons of the dating reality show."
"you--"
"Alright, stop arguing, we've already started recording."
Only when they saw the camera fully turned on did the two stop arguing.
All the artists were ready, and the host asked them to organize the clues they had found in their rooms over the past few days.
"Next, we need to start piecing together the truth. If the detective team finds the truth, they will win directly."
"Whoever makes the biggest contribution will receive a big gift package from our production team!"
The criminal gang could only pray that they wouldn't be able to piece together the truth.
He Yizhen, Xu Xiaowan, Gu Xing, and Li Yancheng sat down alone on one side.
The viewers in the live stream started making pairings, and the four people who didn't understand what was going on could only watch quietly as Su Qi's group came to the table to analyze the situation.
【No, which sister ships Gu Xing and He Yizhen?】
[Is the person upstairs crazy? If not these two, are they supposed to ship Xu Xiaowan and Gu Xing?]
[Stop, stop, stop! Our Xiao Xu isn't a disgraced celebrity. Does this mean we're shipping He Yizhen and Li Yancheng?]
[Wow, this looks like a mass exclamation mark.]
[At least Leonardo DiCaprio from Hong Kong is known in the entertainment industry for his positive image. What is He Yizhen anyway? She's been in the business for over a decade and hasn't made a name for herself, so don't try to piggyback on her success.]
[Xiao He is just kind-hearted, what did she do wrong?]
【? ? ? 】
[My fans are just as innocent as I am.]
[Xu Xiaowan and Actor Li are really good-looking. Anyway, if we're going to pair them up, let's put these two scandal-ridden stars together.]
[Are you all just making pairings up? Am I the only one who noticed that Gu Xing's gaze is constantly fixed on Su Qi?]
【! ! ! 】
[Wow, sis, you're so observant!]
[Speaking of which, what good end can a female celebrity who catches Gu Xing's eye possibly have? The last one was Lasy, who disappeared for a long time before returning, only to vanish again now. The most recent one was Zheng Xin, who has now become a celebrity whose career has collapsed.]
[That's right, let's hope this time it's not some bloody disaster. Xiao Qi was injured yesterday and hasn't recovered yet.]
Something's not right. Gu Xing's gaze towards Su Qi is different now; it's tinged with murderous intent.
[That's normal. The production team of the dating reality show said in their independent interview that the truth behind the game points to Gu Xing, but the detective team doesn't know it yet. We'll see how the show goes and whether Gu Xing does anything to Su Qi.]
[Hmm...but, Gu Xing's expression still seems a bit off...]
There was nothing in Gu Xing's bloodshot eyes, not even Su Qi's figure, only endless vortexes.
Sitting in the waiting area, Gu Xing heard the comments about him from the audience in the live broadcast room, broadcast by his assistant.
"Why should someone like that be worthy of being with Su Qi?"
"I'm afraid that after becoming a top star, they've long forgotten how they climbed up there, haven't they?"
"I really hate Gu Xing. I heard that his private life is not clean, but I don't know if it's true or not."
Gu Xing's grip tightened, interrupting his assistant.
The assistant shakily took the phone back, thinking to herself that she should have known better than to show it to Gu Xing. The netizens' words were really vicious, reaching the level of cyberbullying.
"Who doesn't know that Gu Xing's current period of calm is just a new show..."
"If all the previous scandals hadn't been cleared out, everyone would still remember what he did—climbing into someone's bed—I never thought a man could do something like that..."
……
His head was throbbing so badly it was almost uncontrollable.
Su Qi and Xiang Zhouzhou pieced together the truth. Xiang Zhouzhou said, "Su Qi first discovered the note and the blood (paint) in the black room. Later, I found traces of a body being stored in another room."
Shen Chaohuai stroked his chin: "When I was looking for other people's crime records, I found fingerprints. However, those fingerprints did not come from the corresponding people. Instead, they were made up to confuse the public."
"Excluding Xu Xiaowan, Li Yancheng, and He Yizhen, all the evidence points to Gu Xing." Shu Yu deliberately raised her voice so that Gu Xing could hear her clearly.
Gu Xing clenched his fist so tightly that several bloody marks appeared on his palm.
"No, there's one more detail we haven't noticed." After making reasonable deductions, Xiang Zhouzhou discovered that a causal condition was missing.
“If the real culprit is Gu Xing, then he should have acted the moment before we uncovered the truth.”
"If he doesn't take action, it's 100% certain that the murderer is someone else."
Su Qi paused, wondering if the information the system had collected for her was false.
However, the events of Gu Xing killing her did not occur in the correct order after the time rewind.
The reason was that Su Qi knew he would take the act seriously, so he didn't go to the designated location.
However, when Su Qi turned to look at Gu Xing in the waiting area, she discovered that fragments of the truth had already emerged.
She touched the pistol on her belt and found that it hadn't been taken.
So……
The murder weapon he intends to use is...
He suddenly stood up with a knife and, in front of a million audience members, artists, and the production crew, stabbed her directly.
