Reborn As The Villain President's Lover

Chapter 46

It didn’t cross Ji Qingzhou’s mind that there would be something hidden in the doll. Pinching it several times, he came across something hard. He quickly found a pair of scissors and cut the doll open and found the handcuffs nestled inside the moderately sized wolf’s belly.

Both people were pleasantly surprised, they looked at each other and smiled, “Now all that’s left is to find out who owns that note.”

“But,” Ji Qingzhou was puzzled, “how on earth does he kill people?”

While Ji Qingzhou was struggling to understand, Ying Nian found a book on the other side of the room, “24 Billys.” Ying Nian looked at the book, and asked Lian Jingxing who was by his side, “This book is about schizophrenia, right?”

Lian Jingxing nodded.

“The backstory of this room is in the notebook you found. It says that seven of them came looking for treasure and six of them slowly disappeared, with only the owner of the notebook left alive. It’s possible that the so-called treasure was just an introduction and that what they were doing wasn’t treasure hunting but psychotherapy. From the beginning to the end there was only one person, the owner of the notebook. It’s his six secondary personalities that disappeared and his dominant personality that was left behind. That’s why the notes never clearly mentioned why and how these six people disappeared.”

Ying Nian thought that it wasn’t impossible, “That’s why the show put a copy of 24 Billy here to prompt us, and that’s the same secret the owner of the notes wanted to keep, that’s why he wanted to kill us.”

“Right.” Lian Jingxing echoed.

“And how did he kill the man?” Ying Nian mused, “Is it by touch, tap, movement or props? If it’s props, then which props?”

As he was thinking, he suddenly heard a prompt from inside the house, “Zhou Xusheng, leave the room.”

Zhou Xusheng looked confused, “Me? I’ve been killed?”

Ji Qingzhou wanted to walk over to observe, and heard the director warn, “No approaching. Zhou Xusheng, leave the room.”

Zhou Xusheng had no choice but to say "Good luck" to everyone and leave the chamber.

"Pay attention to his upper body." Ji Qingzhou quickly instructed Yu Anyi, while he kept an eye on his pants and shoes.

Yu Anyi was unsure, but firmly followed what Ji Qingzhou said, carefully observing his shirt as well as his exposed neck and hands.

When Zhou Xusheng left, Ji Qingzhou asked her, “Did you see anything unusual?”

Yu Anyi shook her head, “Nothing.”

Ji Qingzhou didn’t say anything, carefully recalling the scene when he just observed Zhou Xusheng’s lower body, blue jeans, black sneakers, there was nothing abnormal, was he not eliminated with the help of a gadget like a sticker, but by his own touch or movement? So just now, who has been in contact with Zhou Xusheng?

He looked back around the four-sided room in four directions. Zhou Xusheng was located to the right of the entry door, and closer to him were Luo Yuxin, Cai Li, Meng Yuanbai from their team, and Lian Jingxing and Ying Nian from his own team. Wu Feng and Bei Wanyao and another promotional guest were also fairly close to him.

Therefore, from a position point of view, the most likely five people were Luo Yuxin, Cai Li, Meng Yuanbai, Lian Jingxing, and Ying Nian. Ji Qingzhou mentally preferred Luo Yuxin, Cai Li, and Meng Yuanbai, because Lian Jingxing and Ying Nian were his teammates, especially Lian Jingxing, Ji Qingzhou had a good impression of him, so he didn’t want to doubt him. But logically speaking, in the first phase of the recording, giving such a role to a new player was bound to be less secure than giving it to an old player. Looking at the situation with these considerations, the four old players, Cai Li, Meng Yuanbai, Lian Jingxing and Ying Nian, were more suspicious.
