There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 706 - 607: She is My Daughter

Chapter 706: Chapter 607: She is My Daughter

By the time Xu Shuo returned to the bar, the results of the lab test on the cup had finally come through.

At this point, the men and women scattered around the bar all looked exhausted, puffing out their breaths, and appeared listless.

Under normal circumstances, they could revel in these entertainment venues for three days and nights straight, but as soon as an incident occurred, everyone claimed they were too tired and wanted to leave.

The Police Inspectorate couldn’t keep hundreds of people confined in the bar indefinitely—after all, the longer they dragged it out, the bolder the voices of complaint became.

There would always be a breaking point at some stage, which would then cause total chaos that not even violence could suppress.

With that thought in mind, Xu Shuo first allowed those with the least suspicion to leave and arranged for officers to monitor their movements after their departure.

...

In the blink of an eye, only a few dozen people were left in the bar.

This made it easier to control any disorder.

“Sure enough, there’s saliva residue from two people on this cup, and both of them are already dead.”

After seeing the lab results, Xu Shuo passed the information to Mr. Lei, standing nearby.

Mr. Lei, recalling that he had almost ended up consuming some man’s saliva, immediately felt a chill, and rubbed his arms to dispel the goosebumps.

Even though he wasn’t the one who actually drank it, it was still pretty disgusting.

Xu Shuo propped his chin and said, “And then, it’s likely that some woman used that man’s hand to order you a glass of White Horse Champagne, but she didn’t get your taste right. Now think about which woman you’ve had a grudge against recently.”

On hearing this, Mr. Lei slightly narrowed his eyes, looking contemplative.

Xu Shuo gave him a glance and knew that this guy must be hiding some information from him, but that was expected—nobody would be foolish enough to divulge all their role information outright.

Although Mr. Lei had a lead, Xu Shuo’s own clues had come to a dead end.

Today, no followers of Jenny died, so he could only re-examine the previous clues to deduce where the evidence might be.

These two homicides.

If a forced connection was to be made, the bartender was actually the key link between the two cases.

The “forced” mainly stems from the fact that, in this case, the bartender seems to be more of a tool for survival than a suspect.

If this person really was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Then there must also be evidence left behind.

Just like the first script Xu Shuo experienced, he suspected someone as the murderer, but couldn’t convict him because of the lack of evidence.

And Miss Jenny, maybe she is the key to breaking the case.

Just then,

Mr. Lei suddenly whispered, “Before I pursued Miss Jenny, I actually chased quite a few women in the Midtown District, one of whom might be a bit special.”

Xu Shuo, intently examining Jenny, casually asked, “How special is ‘special’?”

“About two months ago, I broke up… ended things with my last girlfriend. The reason was that we had an accidental encounter with a gang firefight at a casino, and her face was accidentally destroyed by an explosion, so we parted ways amicably.”

Mr. Lei said, “Because I have a vivid memory of the incident, I’m guessing it might be related to that woman.”

Speaking of a vivid memory.

It was actually mentioned briefly in the character information.

Although the young master of the Lei Family was fond of picking up beauties in the Midtown District and seemed careless, in reality, he just played with them and left, naturally without any commitments.

The number of women he had broken up with was countless.

Xu Shuo turned his head and looked at him; although he didn’t speak, his right eye read “jerk,” and his left eye read “male.”

Mr. Lei tugged at the corner of his mouth, “What’s with that look? It’s not like I… I didn’t abandon them without a cause, you know. I said it was just for fun before getting involved. If they took it seriously, how is that my fault?”

“Then what happened to that woman?” Xu Shuo asked, tilting his head.

“Missing, I’ve never had a habit of looking back, so once we break up, I never pay attention again,” Mr. Lei said, spreading his hands.

“Then you go find her yourself, I’ve helped you enough, and you haven’t given me anything in return yet,” Xu Shuo said, lacking enthusiasm.

“You can’t say that; didn’t I also provide you with a clue that helped you determine this victim had nothing to do with your case…”

Mr. Lei argued defensively, trying to justify himself.

But Xu Shuo couldn’t be bothered to listen to his nonsense anymore. He stood up from his seat and walked over to Jenny.

His tall figure loomed before Jenny, like a dark iron wall bearing down. A broad shadow was cast over the sofa, making Miss Jenny, who sat there quietly, seem particularly weak and pitiable.

Xu Shuo stared at her and said, “Miss Jenny, please come over with me alone.”

Jenny smiled: “Okay.”

“No!”

She didn’t refuse, but the bar owner next to her panicked, instinctively cutting in.

Xu Shuo looked at him expressionlessly.

He said without emotion, “Owner, if I remember correctly, Miss Jenny isn’t an employee of your Fragrant Residence Bar, is she? What right do you have to decide where she goes?”

Hearing this, the bar owner’s face twisted in conflict.

At last, as if having made up his mind, he said through gritted teeth, “Actually… Jenny is my illegitimate daughter!”

As his words fell, the remaining patrons in the bar erupted in astonishment, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Xu Shuo sized up the bar owner and then said indifferently, “No offense, but I don’t think Miss Jenny looks like someone who could be your daughter, not even if there was a genetic mutation.”

The difference in their appearance was as vast as heaven and hell.

Once the surrounding customers came to their senses, they obviously didn’t believe it either.

Miss Jenny’s beauty was ethereal, almost celestial—how could she possibly be related to this bungling bar owner?

It was too much of a blow to everyone’s fantasy!

The bar owner chuckled bitterly, “I’m telling the truth. Jenny’s mother fled here from the Lower District, I took her in, but she was always sickly, and passed away after giving birth to Jenny. I didn’t want to carry the title of a widower, so I kept Jenny’s origins a secret.”

While speaking, the bar owner looked at Jenny with a face full of affection.

He sighed again and said, “Recently, the Fragrant Residence Bar has been struggling, so I thought of having my daughter help by bringing in patrons, but I didn’t expect it to blow up like this. Jenny, I’m sorry, I let you suffer so much.”

Jenny looked at him, blinked, and said, “It’s okay, Father.”

Whoosh—

After Jenny’s response, the bar immediately became rowdy again, with the men exclaiming in disbelief!

Could this be true?

But if the bar owner looked like that, how beautiful must his wife have been to have given birth to a century’s great beauty like Jenny?!

But if it wasn’t true?

Why would Miss Jenny respond to him?

The crowd recalled Miss Jenny’s movements since appearing in the Midtown District; she did indeed spend a lot of time at the Fragrant Residence Bar, and even when she needed a place to rest, it was the bar owner who would arrange a room for her.

At first, everyone just thought the bar owner wanted to retain Jenny so she would continue dancing in his bar.

But now, thinking it over…

Could it be that there really was a relationship between the two?
