There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 699 - 600: Perhaps the One Who Should Die is You?

Chapter 699: Chapter 600: Perhaps the One Who Should Die is You?

The bar owner, with a face full of righteous indignation, confessed to being the perpetrator, and the surrounding customers cast looks of shock, fear, realization, admiration, and respect at him.

The reason those looks were like a palette of colors.

Mainly because people really believed it at first.

But upon careful thought, perhaps the owner took on this dirty water as a sacrifice for Miss Jenny’s safety!

It is said that the newly appointed Inspector Berrod of the Luona District, who has long been vexed by a serial poisoning case, had his abilities questioned by superiors.

So now, this great commotion might just be to find any scapegoat to close the case!

...

The bar owner, he must be deeply in love with Miss Jenny!

No wonder Miss Jenny often helps bring in customers for the Fragrant Residence Bar!

Xu Shuo looked at this person, ready to sacrifice himself, and laughed, “Boss, you do know that killing five or more people is considered a Class C felony in Midtown District and is punishable by immediate death.”

The bar owner’s face stiffened: “…”

The world is mainly divided into three major city districts, representing different classes of strength, and each district has different policies.

The Lower District is in utter chaos, where murders are committed without fear.

Midtown District, where most ordinary people live, has the most well-established order among the three districts, and in some ways, it’s the safest place.

Because in Uptown District, power is everything.

So, if taking the blame were so easy, those crazed individuals would have volunteered long ago.

They dare not take the fall.

It’s simply that the allure of a beauty never possessed isn’t worth sacrificing their lives over.

Miss Jenny seems to have countless guests.

But in reality, no one has ever had her.

The bar owner wasn’t actually afraid of being sentenced to death, for he could just wash his hands of the matter and leave, but he felt that if he continued to confess to being the murderer…

This person in front would probably shoot him immediately!

Then it wouldn’t be an act anymore; it would truly be a matter of life and death!

For some reason.

He felt he probably couldn’t beat this person.

So the bar owner backed down, gritting his teeth he said, “Alright, actually, I was just talking nonsense, but Miss Jenny really isn’t the murderer. I hope you won’t continue to trouble her!”

Xu Shuo raised an eyebrow, “How have I troubled her? I merely asked her a few simple questions. Where do you see her being troubled?”

While saying this, he also looked at Jenny beside him.

Then he asked, “Miss Jenny, tell me, was I troubling you just now?”

Jenny blinked, “You weren’t troubling me.”

Finally, her response was not a repetition.

The bar owner secretly sighed with relief, but he looked visibly embarrassed, as if losing face had left him awkwardly stranded.

Xu Shuo snickered.

He looked down at the body lying on the couch. After kicking aside the victim’s messily strewn legs, he stepped into the booth, sat down, and casually crossed his legs.

“You sit too,” Xu Shuo said to Jenny.

“Thank you.”

Jenny obediently sat down on the opposite couch. Then she sent a flirtatious, enchanting smile to Xu Shuo, which made onlookers’ hearts flutter.

She was simply born to be a seductress!

And the bar owner still stood there awkwardly.

In fact, he was also under surveillance at the moment and would have to be taken back to the police station for questioning afterward.

At this time, Xu Shuo turned towards the other people in the bar and said, “Before the matter is investigated thoroughly, unrelated persons should stay away from this area. I’ll call you over when it’s time to question you.”

As his voice faded, another dozen armed officers entered, pushing the customers to other areas.

The people in the bar were indignant but dared not speak out.

Fortunately, the Fragrant Residence Bar was by no means small, with separate sections for the bar and the dance floor, where over a hundred people could squeeze in elsewhere.

The first batch of officers who came were led by Xu Shuo along with the night shift team, rushing over to control everyone in the bar before they could react.

In fact, if someone had dared to rush out just now, they could have broken through the encirclement completely.

But Xu Shuo’s gunshot had frightened them all.

It wasn’t until the second batch of officers, summoned by his deputy, rushed over, that they managed to take full control of the Fragrant Residence Bar.

So now, this was his home turf!

Xu Shuo rarely acted so brazenly.

Anyway, entering this place was just to rack up deduction points.

Let’s get high!

“Hey, brother!”

At this moment, Mr. Lei, who had been watching the drama with great interest, finally shifted his buttocks, moving from the sofa on the right to the middle sofa.

He moved closer to Xu Shuo and smiled, “Actually, I might be considered the first witness to this incident, so I should be able to provide you with quite a bit of information.”

Xu Shuo glanced at him, “Mr. Lei, the young master of the Lei Family. With your status, you probably wouldn’t do something like committing a secret attack, but since you’ve been seen around Miss Jenny recently, I can’t help but suspect…”

Mr. Lei’s mouth twitched, “You suspect this too? Then tell me, what’s my motive for the crime?”

Would the noble heir of the Lei Family resort to secret attacks?

Wouldn’t it be better to simply kidnap the person to Uptown District and give them a sack beating?

“I suspect…”

Xu Shuo looked up at Jenny, who was sitting opposite, and continued, “Perhaps someone fancied Miss Jenny’s beauty and was jealous of the men who got close to her, so they went after those few with a heavy hand. That’s why I can’t help but think that actually, the one who should have died was you, Mr. Lei.”

Mr. Lei was stunned.

This man’s guess was so accurate!

He had suspected, after receiving his main mission, that the real person the murderer wanted to kill might be him.

Otherwise, it would be too strange for the friend he brought over the first time to die here!

This friend had also just met Jenny for the first time.

So it wasn’t enough to be mesmerized.

What did he do to deserve such a fate?

And Xu Shuo’s suspicion wasn’t unfounded.

The reason the five murder cases were known as “The Jenny Incident” was undoubtedly related to Jenny, the most significant connection being—they had all been intimate with Jenny!

Although no one had reached third base, getting to first and second bases was a breeze.

However, after the event, all five men died of mysterious poisoning.

The poison was a nerve toxin that had an incubation period, but mostly struck within four to five days, thus distancing it from Jenny’s pattern of behavior.

That was also why the Police Inspectorate didn’t suspect Jenny immediately.

As more people died, and meticulous investigations were conducted, this clue was quickly uncovered.

In fact, Inspector Berrod had been suspecting recently that the perpetrator might be one of Jenny’s suitors, who had gone mad when he couldn’t have her.

As for Jenny herself…

“Aren’t you going to buy me a drink?”

While Xu Shuo was pondering, Jenny across from him suddenly spoke up.

He looked up and was dazzled by Jenny’s stunning smile; her bewitching beauty was ethereal, her moist eyes blinking with a seductive charm.

Jenny’s lips parted slightly, “I’m thirsty~”

Her voice was like a mildly intoxicating sweet wine.

The officers nearby immediately felt a heat surge in their bodies, their uncontrollable gazes drifting toward the beauty. Even the relatively calm deputy was somewhat dazed.

If the situation weren’t so inappropriate, they might have already been competing to present her with fine wines.

So…

Even now, under such a serious and tense atmosphere, you still want someone to buy you a drink?!

The bartender covered his face.
