Chapter 378 The biggest suspect
Bai Liangang was also politely escorted out of the meeting room used for interrogation by Lin Yu and Fu Luo.
First of all, although the playback record is not a hard and fast proof of his alibi, at least he gave his own reasons.
Secondly...
Lin Yu really felt that a Fengcheng gentleman who loved watching "The Little Princess" would assassinate Mr. Carrot.
Even if it was a true vendetta, given this person's style, he would probably just say "I did it".
The fact that he feels ashamed of watching Hong Kong and Taiwan idol romance dramas shows that his values must be relatively simple.
He will not hide his murderous behavior for "revenge".
What's more, when mentioning that "hatred", Bai Liangang's words did convince Lin Yu and Fu Luo.
"I was really angry at the time. My good brother was gone suddenly... He just emerged from a dungeon intact. How could I not be furious?"
"But, but...after I calmed down and thought about it, I realized that this game is like that. Anyone could suddenly disappear."
"To put it bluntly, the fact that everyone survived was actually a small chance event due to good luck, so... I gradually came to terms with it."
"The main thing is that the master is indeed a good person."
Lin Yu judged the other party's statement to be credible based on the fact that it "didn't look like he was acting", while Fu Luo combined some evidence for analysis.
"I asked Brother Shan to interview the player in Fengcheng. He seemed to have interacted with Luobo a few times. I guess they reconciled during those encounters."
"According to the testimony I just received, the communication between the two of them should have gradually heated up... There was some friction the first time, but after that, I can't say they were intimate, but they did become more normal."
"Anyway... the possibility of this guy committing a 'revenge murder' has been ruled out - let's wait for the next one."
The next to be interrogated were Ming Wang and Seagull.
Ming Wang is a short, slightly plump, fair-skinned man who speaks in a very soft voice.
He claimed that he was staying in the room playing mobile games when the incident happened, but this cannot be used as an alibi.
As for the cause of Luobo's death and the person himself, Ming Wang also used words like "I'm not very clear" and "I'm not familiar with him, I just heard of him" to fool people.
This actually made him a little suspicious.
"Seagull" is a young man in his early twenties with a somewhat smart look. He is dressed in trendy sports-style clothing and seems to come from a well-off family.
He was very familiar with Luobo and expressed deep regret for Luobo's death.
They even actively sort out the suspicious aspects of other suspicious players.
"I'm telling you, you have to be especially careful of 'Phoenix' and 'Hundred Refined Steel'. They have a grudge against Radish... Oh, you already knew that? That's fine then."
"And 'Cress' isn't a good guy either. This bounty hunter is ruthless and profit-driven. It's not impossible that Mr. Carrot, who has been famous for a long time, has been targeted for the item in his hand."
"I'm not very familiar with Ming Wang, but he's reached a high level in the Hunting Club in just three months. He must have some skills. It seems he made his fortune as a bounty hunter... so he's probably not clean either."
"Those two, 'Lotus' and 'Cassia Seed'... Carrot has complained to me that the new generation of the 'Players' Mutual Aid Association' has recently become increasingly diametrically opposed to the original ideals of the organization."
"Many of those players who were supposedly there to protect him were more like 'spies' planted around him... Perhaps someone in the 'Players' Mutual Aid Association' found him an eyesore."
Seagull spoke one thing after another, and before leaving, he did not forget to add more and try to get close to Lin Yu.
"Well, please keep me informed of any progress in the investigation. I can help!"
"By the way, 'May May' over there... I want to thank you on behalf of someone else. I was able to get through the last dungeon thanks to you!"
This seagull seemed to have no awareness that he was also a major suspect.
"I'm halfway through the questioning. Do you have any clues?"
After the seagull left, Li Hua rarely spoke and asked.
Fu Luo touched his chin and said, "I have a feeling that I have grasped something, but it is just a feeling, it has not yet fully formed."
"But I have a feeling... after questioning these eight people, I should be able to get something that can at least be considered an 'important clue', or maybe even a direct answer."
"I'm sure May feels the same way."
Lin Yu neither admitted nor denied, but just nodded slightly.
He did not have Fu Luo's almost abstract talent and sense of smell.
But compared to Fu Luo, Lin Yu actually had one more piece of the puzzle - the "accomplice" who appeared in his dream last night gave Lin Yu an extra perspective when he asked questions.
And there were indeed some doubts in the conversation between the four people just now.
Lin Yu let out a breath.
"Keep asking... The next one is 'Cress', and the next one is 'Kite'..."
"But before these two start asking questions, I would like to ask Captain Liangye and the administrator first."
Liang Ye was almost asleep leaning against the wall, but now he came to his senses.
"Ah, what about my business? I thought I was just standing still!"
"Say it!"
He spoke.
"I remember you mentioned on the way here that you were very suspicious of 'Cress'. Why...it shouldn't be just because he's a bounty hunter, right?"
This is the reason Seagull just gave.
Before Liang Ye could speak, Li Hua spoke first: "Because he was pissed off when Cress robbed him of his ranking, he fought against Cress..."
"Shit, even if you're the head of the East China region, you can't slander me like this, right? Do you mean I'm taking revenge on you?" Liang Ye said unhappily. "Shit, Li Hua, stop talking nonsense. I thought we were brothers!"
Although Liang Ye's expression didn't change much, it could be seen from his noticeably faster speaking speed and the increased concentration of his hometown dialect in one sentence that he was still a little excited.
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was... you should be more familiar with Cress's methods. I just heard that his fighting style is closer to 'magic'... so I actually have some suspicions, but I'm not sure."
Li Hua remained calm.
Liang Ye calmed down after hearing this, nodded, and said, "Yes, although some of the words were spoken in anger in the car, but after arriving here and seeing the scene... if anyone could do that, it could only be 'Cress'."
"He's a master of curses. He can kill people with a delayed effect and leave almost no trace—because he's not really using props."
"Can you delay killing without using props?"
Lin Yu was a little surprised.
"Yes, because he had a special [item] implanted in his soul that allows him to continuously generate a magical power similar to 'magic power.' He also learned a lot of spells and magic from an NPC in the dungeon world," Liang Ye shrugged. "In short, this guy can really create skills on his own."
"So that guy has a codename within a codename—'Demon Hunter Cress'."
