Gu Xingchen’s words didn’t surprise Jiang Xuyan and the others.

Xu Xingzhou, on the other hand, couldn’t wait to look at Song Qingyou. From his hesitant expression, it was obvious that he suspected Yu Muhuai to be the third murderer.

“Then isn’t the murderer among the three of them?”

Tang Zinian’s expression was a little strange. “If that’s really the case, we wouldn’t have to waste our efforts to find the murderer. The production team has practically written down the identity of the murderer in the open.”

“I don’t think it’s that simple.” Shu Ling said and looked at Zhao Yingnan. “Yingnan, you’ve been looking through a lot of information in the activity room. Did you find anything about us?”

It wasn’t that they trusted Song Qingyou and the other two, but that they didn’t think the production team would simply tell them which one of them was the murderer.

Among the five, only Jiang Xuyan looked at Song Qingyou and the other two with suspicion.

Because the clue he got in the first round of the game said that there were three murderers.

But the problem was, in his opinion, Yu Muhuai and Xu Xingzhou were more suspicious, while Song Qingyou had no motive to be the murderer.

How could the daughter of a board member who wanted to inherit the school cause the school to be filled with ghost stories? Wasn’t this destroying the school’s reputation?

While he was thinking, Zhao Yingnan had already recovered from her thoughts.

“I think so.”

As she recalled, she pointed at herself.

“Me, Brother Jiang, Lil Tang, Shu Ling, we all graduated from a high school affiliated to a full-time professional university. Our high school isn’t far from this campus, and we often have all kinds of activities. Actually, we’ve been associated with the Mystery Club since three years ago.”

“Shu Ling’s sister seems to be a graduate of this university… 1 didn’t think these materials were important, so I didn’t write them down. If you want to know, you can go to the folder on the bookshelf in the activity room.”

Zhao Yingnan said it with certainty, so the others naturally wouldn’t not believe it.

Shu Ling clicked her tongue. “I knew it wasn’t that simple.”

Gu Xingchen smiled and said, “The information in the activity room is probably for the preparation of the patch.”

“Since we don’t know the murderer’s situation now, let’s do our best to investigate this case. Everyone, rely on your own abilities.”

Everyone responded in unison.

Of course, before they split up, they still had to go through most of the afternoon’s classes of writing, sports, reading, and games.

This time, the physical education teacher did not announce the game content and rewards. Instead, he asked someone to bring out a familiar lottery machine.

“The game this time will be decided by drawing lots.”

Tang Zinian raised his voice slightly. “Teacher, aren’t you going to arrange it for us?”

Jiang Xuyan lowered his voice. “Maybe the production team arranged too many games and suddenly chose the difficult type…”

Before he finished his sentence, the PE teacher put on his ear-mic. He seemed to have heard something from Wei Zhengrong and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to arrange it, but you guys are too weak. You can’t compare to Song Qingyou in terms of brain power and physical strength. No matter how you compare, she might win, so you can only rely on metaphysics.”

“Come, besides Student Song, who among you can come over and draw lots?”

The PE teacher was obviously not the type to say such things.

“Director Wei is too much.” Jiang Xuyan rolled his eyes ungracefully.

“Exactly! Why did we-”

Tang Zinian originally wanted to say, ‘Why can’t 1 beat Song Qingyou?’ But when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he changed it to, “1 bought lunch twice this afternoon. Didn’t I defeat Sister Qingyou?”

Everyone was speechless.

Song Qingyou looked calm, as if she wasn’t the center of the conversation.

Xu Xingzhou couldn’t help but complain. “You’re such a glutton, yet you still can’t win? Isn’t that a good-for-nothing?”

Tang ‘Good-for-Nothing¹ Zinian’s veins were throbbing. “Old Xu! If you don’t know how to speak, you can choose not to say it!”

“Oh.”

Tang Zinian raised his hand angrily. “Since I ate a lot, 1’11 draw lots!”

“It won’t work.” Xu Xingzhou shook his head. “When have the six of us ever beaten Qingyou? Luck is definitely not good either.”

“So let Teacher Gu do it.” Jiang Xuyan suggested, “Teacher Gu is the No.i in our top class. His luck should be especially good.”

The others expressed their agreement.

Gu Xingchen smiled at Song Qingyou. “It seems like Little Qingyou is too powerful. Everyone is now united against a common enemy.”

The latter repeated the PE teacher’s words without changing his expression.

“I can’t help it. They’re too weak.”

He sounded very proud, but judging from his expression, he was clearly joking.

“Why did Sister Qingyou say that?” Tang Zinian whimpered, looking as if he was holding his heart. “It hurts so much.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll draw a very good lot.”

Gu Xingchen winked at everyone, “1 definitely won’t let Little Qingyou win too easily. Ah, no, I won’t let Little Qingyou win.”

“Is that possible?” Tang Zinian pursed his lips and asked.

“Maybe it’s really possible. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked us to draw lots to decide the game.”

“The games in that game might require team cooperation. Only by being dragged down can Qingyou lose.”

“But if I’m in the same group as Sister Qingyou, I definitely won’t be a burden.

If I can win with Sister You, why should 1 lose?”

“Then 1 also want to be in the same group as Qingyou.”

“Hey, hey, how long has it been? You guys have already betrayed us?”

“This is called all is fair in war.”

“Wrong. This is water flowing downwards, and people walking towards the top!”

The few of them had not even been together for ten minutes when they started arguing.

In the end, Song Qingyou, who was standing in the middle, had to mediate.

Gu Xingchen, who had high hopes, turned the lottery machine. A small ball quickly rolled out from the exit.

“What game is it?” Song Qingyou asked, not wanting to hear the argument anymore.

Gu Xingchen picked up the note in the ball.

“Eh?” Zhao Yingnan did not expect this round of the game to be so… It was easy.

“It’s actually a test of our painting standards?” Tang Zinian was stunned for a second and looked to the left.” Sister Qingyou, how’s your drawing?”

Song Qingyou recalled the painting lessons she had taken and replied uncertainly, “It’s not bad?”

“Not bad means there’s no problem.” Tang Zinian’s face instantly turned sour. “It seems like we’re going to lose again. Mr. Gu’s luck isn’t that good either…”

The PE teacher clapped his hands and interrupted their conversation.

“Silence!”

“The game that Doctor Gu drew is draw and guess.”

“The rule is that seven people draw and one person guesses.”

“Seven people will line up in a row. Only the person at the end of the line can see the keywords. Then, like beating a drum to pass the flowers, they will show their paintings to the people in front of them. Finally, the person at the top of the line will show the painting to the person who guessed it.”

“The time for drawing and guessing is only twenty seconds.”

“In this game, everyone has three chances to answer the question. The person who answers correctly will get 5 points. If the person answers correctly, the person who draws the most suitable keywords will get 1 point.”

“The person with the most points wins. If they have the same points, they will go into overtime..”
