Chapter 32 Murder Mystery Game



Chapter 32 Murder Mystery Game

Everything seems so unreal.

Is Shan Shanshan the young lady Ms. Xia was talking about?

But it seems to make sense.

After all, besides Shan Shanshan, who else has such firsthand information about Anwar?

Xiang Wan's hands trembled as she clicked "approved" on the application.

Cha Lanyue was enthusiastically recommending Shan Shanshan's live stream when she suddenly noticed her friend was distracted:

"Wanwan, why aren't you watching anymore?"

Xiang Wan hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

After a few attempts, Xiang Wan simply held up her phone and showed the chat interface to Cha Lanyue.

Cha Lanyue looked at the message and rubbed her eyes.

After taking another look, he rubbed his eyes again.

Then, another sharp popping sound rang out:

"Shanshan! It really is Shanshan! My Shanshan! It's my Shanshan!!"

Xiang Wan took two steps back in horror, watching as Cha Lanyue slowly squatted down with trembling hands.

Xiang Wan hesitated and reached out her hand, trying to see what was wrong with her friend, when Cha Lanyue suddenly looked up again.

She was so frightened that she immediately shrank back.

However, Cha Lanyue was not prepared to let her off so easily.

She gripped Xiang Wan's shoulders, tears streaming down her face:

"I've been a fan of Shanshan for five years! I've never seen anyone add Shanshan as a friend!"

"My Shanshan! She appeared so fresh and lovely in your friends list!"

She looks no different from a fanatical fan right now.

Seeing people like this always makes me realize that being a fanatical idol worshipper is definitely not a good thing.

Of course, no matter what happened between the two, Shan Shanshan, who was live streaming, couldn't see it.

"Another thing I want to share is that we're actually getting ready to play a new game now."

"I cordially invite everyone to come and watch the game!"

"However, Sister Yuanyuan said that this might involve spoilers, so you won't be able to experience it when you come back to play on your own."

"So, whether you watch it or not is up to you."

"Same as always, once I start playing the game, I won't watch the live stream anymore. Thanks to my moderators."

After saying that, Shan Shanshan placed the small robot behind her to ensure that the audience could only see from her perspective.

The seven people sat together, and the game officially began.

The story takes place in 766. A general is found dead in his own villa.

The suspects were seven people who were also in the villa at the time.

Shan Shanshan is the youngest daughter of a general.

From a young age, her father treated her mother coldly, and she suffered a lot as a result.

When she grew a little older, her father killed her mother and raised her as a tool for a political marriage.

As she grew older, she fell in love with a scholar. However, the general, thwarting their love, secretly murdered the scholar.

Even after killing the scholar, the general quickly arranged a marriage for her.

In a few days, she will be getting married.

After reading the story introduction, Shan Shanshan had only one thought in her mind:

No wonder this general was a dead man.

Although she didn't understand many of the terms, Shan Shanshan could still sense that this person was up to no good.

Looking at what he's done, it's hard not to hate him.

When Shan Shanshan saw her timeline, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Could it really be that he did it himself?

She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the end.

That's great. Although I did the deed, I wasn't the murderer.

After the alarm was lifted, Shan Shanshan immediately became more proactive.

She scanned the others present, trying to find the slightest clue.

The first round of self-introductions was merely to familiarize everyone with each other's identities.

Shan Shanshan is the general's youngest daughter who came to rest at the villa with him; Tang Jiang is a wealthy merchant who came to visit after learning of the general's arrival; An Yixuan is the accompanying doctor; Yu Xiaorui is the accompanying maid; Shi Erzhe is the general's deputy general who was summoned here by the general to discuss matters; Shi Bai is a wandering knight-errant who came here; Ding Ning is the general's daughter's close friend who came to visit after receiving an invitation from her friend.

Everyone looked innocent.

In fact, everyone is a suspect.

After briefly introducing some game rules to the audience, Feng Shuyuan, as the host, began the first round of evidence collection.

After finding the clue cards, the hidden stories behind each person are gradually revealed.

Tang Jiang was a wealthy merchant who secretly provided financial assistance during the An Lushan Rebellion. He had only one request: to protect someone for him. However, in the end, the person he wanted to protect died due to the general's machinations.

An Yixuan was once a royal physician in the palace. He was nearly beheaded for committing a crime, but the Imperial Concubine intervened and saved his life, allowing him to leave the palace.

Yu Xiaorui was a maid who accompanied the emperor. When she was about to be sold into prostitution to bury her father, the imperial concubine intervened and saved her, giving her enough money to bury her father and also granting her freedom.

Shi Erzhe was the deputy general under the general back then. During the An Lushan Rebellion, he learned many things about the general that were unknown to others. The general had always wanted to find an opportunity to silence him, and he had always wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of the general as a threat.

Shi Bai actually came specifically for the general. He became a beggar when he was young, and it was the imperial concubine who helped him, which gave him the opportunity to learn martial arts and survive to this day.

The imperial concubine often visited Ding Ning's home during her teenage years. She was Ding Ning's close older sister and the only person in the family besides her sister who was kind to her.

It seems that everyone's murderous intent is more or less related to the "An Lushan Rebellion" and this "Imperial Concubine".

Who exactly was this imperial concubine?

Shan Shanshan was somewhat troubled.

There is no such person in her story.

As she listened to everyone's enthusiastic discussion about the Imperial Concubine, she inexplicably felt ostracized.

Suddenly, she saw a clue about the deputy general.

The clue stated that after the imperial concubine's death, her family fell into ruin.

Many of the Yang family's descendants devoted themselves to their studies, hoping to restore the family's former glory.

For some reason, upon seeing this clue, Shan Shanshan suddenly remembered something her scholar lover had said.

She looked down and started searching through her script.

really.

Shan Shanshan stared excitedly at a line of text.

"When I was a child, my distant cousin became a favored concubine in the palace, and I was fortunate enough to visit the capital once."

"At that time, I made up my mind that I would definitely have a place in this bustling capital city in the future."

"But later, our family fell into decline, and we seemed to become people that everyone hated."

"My parents advised me to lay low for a while, but I refused."

"I don't want to give up my dream, which is the goal I've pursued all my life."

The scholar's lover seems to be surnamed Yang. Could the cousin he mentioned be the imperial concubine mentioned by others?

With this clue, Shan Shanshan quickly found her place in the whole story.

In an instant, Shan Shanshan felt a surge of inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

“Look, I’m just like you, I also have a connection with this imperial concubine.”
