Even though the student council president seemed to be very close to Song Qingyou, the group couldnât get any useful information from him.
The few of them looked at each other. âWhere are we going first? Building B?â
The program team asked them to solve the mystery. Even without using their brains, they knew that the so-called mystery was the seven points that the NPC had pointed out.
Shu Ling said, âIâd rather look at the eyes behind the bookshelf. It sounds very exciting.â
âThis sentence suits your character very well.â Jiang Xuyan liked it.
Song Qingyou said thoughtfully, âLetâs go to the activity room of the Mystery Club first.â
âAccording to our character setting, we wonât be particularly unfamiliar with this school. If we have to ask for directions everywhere we go, we might be judged by the program team as OOC[1].â
âThe activity room of the Mystery Club should be our base camp. There should be something like a map there.â
Shu Ling thought of her character card. âIâm here for the information from the investigation of the deduction club. There must be important information in the activity room.â
âThen letâs ask for directions to the activity room.â Tang Zinian said, âIâm a new student in the Mystery Club. Itâs normal that I donât know the way. Iâll ask for directions.â
âThen Iâll go take a look around. Didnât you say that the surrounding environment is very important? Maybe we can find somethingâ¦â
Jiang Xuyanâs words made Zhao Yingnan and the others wander around.
Yu Muhuai waved his hand. âIâm going to talk to my âclassmates.'â
He had clearly seen a girl in the crowd react differently when she saw Song Qingyou.
There were two possibilities for this situation. One was that the extra was not feeling well and could not react in time. The other was that the extra was supposed to react this way.
Seeing that everyone else had left, Yu Muhuai accurately found the girl.
At this moment, she was leaning against a tree by the field, hugging her knees and burying her face in her arms.
Yu Muhuai glanced at the cameraman behind him and coughed lightly. âAre you feeling unwell? Do you need me to send you to the hospital?â
The girl raised her head and shook her head frantically.
âYou didnât seem right just now. Are you sure you donât need to see a doctor?â
The girl continued to shake her head and even moved to the side, looking like she wanted to bury herself in the soil.
This time, Yu Muhuai could confirm that this girl was specially arranged by the production team.
He just didnât know what clues she was going to provide.
Yu Muhuai decided to make a move after his questioning failed.
He grabbed the girlâs wrist and said firmly, âLetâs go. Iâll take you to the doctor.â
The girl was unwilling to go with him and kept shaking her head.
When Yu Muhuai turned around, she quickly pulled her sleeve to signal Yu Muhuai not to hold the scar so tightly. Then she rolled up her sleeve to reveal the wounds on her arm.
Of course, the scars were caused by cosmetics.
The little girl did not âinadvertentlyâ reveal the mark on her arm. She could not hold back her expression and kept gritting her teeth to stop herself from laughing.
Yu Muhuaiâs mouth twitched when he saw the extra girlâs actions. He held back his laughter.
âWhatâs going on? You were abused?â
The girl shook her head again.
âCould it be Song Qingyou who caused you to be like this?â Yu Muhuai asked tentatively.
This time, the girl finally reacted.
She tugged at Yu Muhuaiâs sleeve. âSenior, donât ask. Even if youâre really popular, you canât offend Senior Song.â
âSenior, you should pretend that you didnât see me in the future. Otherwise, Senior Song will definitely be even angrier!â
Yu Muhuai waited for her to finish.
Seeing that the other party would not provide any other clues, he slowly returned to his original spot.
Now, they knew that Song Qingyouâs character seemed to be highly respected and popular in school, but in private, she would be violent and two-faced.
Therefore, Zhao Yingnanâs previous guess that Song Qingyouâs character setting wouldnât be the person who stopped them from investigating the mystery was biased.
As Yu Muhuai was thinking, Jiang Xuyan and the others who claimed to have gone out to look for clues returned.
âDid you find anything?â Yu Muhuai asked.
âThe field is very clean. Thereâs nothing there.â Jiang Xuyan spread his hands.
Xu Xingzhou: âThere were a few people whispering. I followed them and eavesdropped. They said that this semester, two people from the school have died. One went crazy, and two went missing.â
âMissing?â Yu Muhuai was puzzled. âDid they not find the body?â
âI think so?â Xu Xingzhou said uncertainly, âThe crazy one is probably the girl in the crying on the rooftop that those people were talking about earlier.â
âSo, not only do we have to investigate the so-called supernatural legends, but we also have to pay attention to the murder case?â
Shu Ling rubbed her chin. âIt seems that the Mystery Club lives up to its reputation. We have to imitate criminal investigation experts.â
Yu Muhuai nodded and looked around. âQingyouâ¦Cough, whereâs Senior Song? Why donât I see her?â
Zhao Yingnan pointed to the two people behind a big tree. âShe seems to have gone to talk to the student council president. She should be able to get some clues.â
âIs that so?â
Yu Muhuai looked at the two of them, guessing how likely it was that Song Qingyou was the mastermind.
At the same time, Song Qingyou was mysteriously pulled aside by the student council president for a chat.
To be more precise, it was the student council president who was going to say the lines, and she was going to listen.
âSenior, donât worry. Iâve already warned that little b*tch surnamed Sun. I guarantee that she wonât dare to reveal any information. If you want to look for her in the future, she will definitely be at your beck and call. She wonât delay your matters!â
It sounded like a standard villainâs line.
âWhere is she now?â Song Qingyou nodded slightly.
The Student Council President looked around and pointed to a tree in the distance. âThere, sheâs sitting there. Do you need me to call her over to help you vent your anger?â
âNo need.â Song Qingyou shook her head, thinking for a moment as she looked over.
Someone seemed to have been there just now?
If someone had gotten the hint from that NPC, they would definitely include her as a suspect.
However, the game couldnât progress too quickly, or else it would lose a lot of fun.
âYou have something else to say, donât you?â Song Qingyou asked.
The person in front of her was stunned for a moment and quickly went along with her words. âYes, thereâs another thing. The threatening letters that you and the board of directors received⦠We couldnât find out who sent it. Some of the surveillance cameras were destroyed in advance.â
âWhere are the threatening letters? Give it to me first.â
âOh, okay.â
Song Qingyouâs initiative stunned the extras.
Fortunately, as long as the NPC extras had more than three lines, they were not randomly selected. Some of them were even students who had not graduated from the film academy. They were relatively more professional. When faced with improvisation, they would not be at a loss for words.
Song Qingyou received a few threatening letters and deliberately stuffed them into her pocket. Before Tang Zinian returned, she rushed to the place where the members of the Mystery Club gathered.
