Park Min-chul took her place: "Let me share Dan's idea. Who will he choose as the successor? We discussed it before, and now the clues are clearer, blood relationship. Who is Dan's blood relationship
"The eldest daughter, the second daughter, the third daughter, and the nephew. First of all, let's rule out the second daughter. From a man's perspective, I don't want to become a woman, especially since I still have three choices."
Many men present nodded subconsciously.
Ladies: “Heh.”
Park Min-chul didn't feel anything. He didn't realize the problem and continued to talk: "First of all, the eldest brother is the most reasonable heir. It is very convenient to choose him, but does Dan really have no doubts about his fertility? If so, he will not have the next heir.
"Besides, the eldest is the oldest, almost 40 years old. Can an old man really be satisfied with the body of a middle-aged man? Anyway, I don't think so. Since I want to do it once and for all, I must choose a young body.
"So I look like the most suspicious one, but don't forget that Dan thinks I'm unlucky. Since he believes in witchcraft, it's impossible for him not to mind me. What if someone gets killed? Besides, even a tiger won't eat cats. After all, he's his own son. Can Dan really do that?"
"The last one is my nephew. He is an outsider, but he is related to me by blood. He is young and excellent, which fully meets Dan's requirements. Moreover, he has been working in the company, so it will be very convenient for him to take over in the future."
I have to say that reporter Park's analysis is very logical and convincing.
But everyone also gave Jiang Baiyan a chance to explain himself.
Jiang Baiyan said: "You have overlooked one candidate."
"who?"
"Grandson." Jiang Baiyan asked Zhang Xueer, "How old is your child?"
Zhang Xueer recalled: "7 months."
"Is the gender known now? Is it a boy?"
She nodded.
Jiang Baiyan said: "I think everyone has overlooked the issue of success rate. The essence of reincarnation is to occupy the nest of the magpie. Even if an old soul is blessed with witchcraft, can it beat a young and healthy soul? What if it fails? To ensure success, the best way is to choose a soul weaker than your own.
"In Eastern folklore, the soul of an infant is very unstable and fragile, and relatively easy to replace. Dan is very likely to choose the third generation as a container. Everything is natural, isn't it better?"
This... seems to make sense.
Terauchi Kumi said: "I think what Jiang Sang said makes sense. The witch's diary clearly states that after reincarnation, the soul still exists, but reincarnation is not 100% successful. Following this line of thought, the second daughter is very suspicious. As a mother, it is difficult for you to accept that your child is replaced by the father, right?"
"It's the same with my father," Ishikawa said. "My second daughter is also worried about family ties. Her son-in-law is not good. Moreover, if Dan chooses his grandson as the heir, his parents will have the right to manage their property for a long time, and he will be able to get a lot of money."
Liu Xiuzhi didn't realize that the fire had burned her, and was shocked: "But I didn't know."
"This is just your one-sided statement." Wu Lie said, "I'm not doubting you, but there is an obvious loophole in your story - you are short of money and threatened by others, but you did nothing. This is very strange."
Each character encountered a crisis and everyone took actions. Although the son-in-law was short of money, he did not make any demands on his father-in-law, which was inevitably a bit inappropriate.
In a hurry, Liu Xiuzhi couldn't make up her mind and said, "Lan'er can't do anything wrong."
Jin Lan'er: "Well, Ishikawa didn't do anything."
Ishikawa Keito: “…Yes, but I really don’t need to do anything.”

Once a chain of suspicion is established, it is difficult to eliminate.
Jian Jing twirled the pen and thought with her chin on her hand.
Kojima Shimo communicated directly with her: "Mrs. Jane, do you have any ideas?"
"I have a question," she confessed, "Why did Dan ask me to pick him up at 12:30? By then, even if the ceremony went smoothly, he would have been dead."
Kojima Wataru said seriously: "The only reason I can think of is that Dan hopes that his body will be found as soon as possible and not delayed until tomorrow morning."
Jian Jing: "What's the reason?"
He was silent.
"It's strange, isn't it? If this wasn't my own experience, I would suspect it was a lie. But I know it's not made up, so Dan must have a reason for doing this."
Jian Jing held the pen, and the tip of the pen left a dot of ink on the white paper.
"I have two ideas. First, Dan believes that after the reincarnation ceremony, the soul of the container has entered his body, so he hopes that I can find it as soon as possible and rescue him in time."
But Kojima immediately refuted this statement: "The witch's diary does not say so. If it is a soul exchange, the ritual must explain it. Moreover, since Dan decided to steal someone else's body, he should not be so careful. The diary also said that his body was dead."
"Then there is only one other possibility. He hopes that I will appear with the body." Jian Jing said solemnly, "making me a suspect."
Others listened to their discussion and couldn't help asking, "Why?"
"Because I am the bloodline of a witch." Jian Jing explained, "He is not sure whether I know the art of immortality. If I know, or if the witch secretly told me, then I will most likely guess what he did, which is undoubtedly very dangerous for him."
Everyone suddenly realized: "That makes sense."
Jian Jing said: "If there was no murder, Dan would have died of natural causes when I arrived at the study. To others, it would be like we had a conflict and he had a heart attack and died, and I can't explain it."
"Wait," Ishikawa Keito suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "So, you just cut off his head?"
Jian Jing: “?”
"It's totally unnecessary." Xiaodao Shi spoke for her, "As long as Jane pretends that she didn't go and doesn't tell anyone that Dan was looking for her, no one will know that she went there."
Ishikawa Keito was a little embarrassed: "That's right."
"Call." Park Min-chul recalled something and asked Jian Jing, "Did you call the restaurant?"
She shook her head and explained, "I don't think covering up the call is a good idea: I can't be sure that no one was around when Dan called me. If there was anyone around and I said no, it would only arouse suspicion. Also, even if I covered up the call, I wouldn't be able to remove all traces. If fingerprints and hair were left behind, it would be impossible to explain. After all, I didn't have the opportunity to go to the study before."
After a pause, he added, "Besides, a superficial and materialistic young girl would definitely be so scared of a headless body that she would leave immediately, rather than considering whether she would become the first suspect and thus cover up the traces of her crime."
Jian Jing analyzed the mentality of the characters in the game, which was reasonable and soon recognized by everyone.
Kojima said: "There should be nothing wrong with Jiansan's analysis of Dan. This is in line with his character and he will not leave any trouble. But this is not the point. We still don't have a clear idea of the murderer's identity."
"I think everyone should stop dwelling on the motive." Jian Jing rubbed her brows, trying to correct her direction. "What really determines the identity of the murderer is not the motive, but his behavior. Beheading is a time-consuming and laborious operation. The murderer stayed at the scene and did such a thing, which must be his intention."
Park Min-chul flipped through his notebook and said, "I think this is because the murderer was afraid that Dan's soul would return to his body, so he decided to chop off his head once and for all."
"But the witch's head is gone too." Terauchi Kumi reminded.
Valeria made a bold guess: "Afraid that Dan's soul will enter the witch's body?"
"No, the container requires blood relationship." Jin Laner said.
"What if the murderer doesn't know this?" Liu Xiuzhi expressed the opposite opinion.
Wu Lie thought it made sense: "The murderer learned about reincarnation in a hurry and might not have known the specific conditions. The witch's diary was in her room. The murderer didn't know the specific content of the ritual and thought anyone could do it, so he chopped off the witch's head just in case."
"You guys are making it too complicated." Andre said, "Maybe the murderer did this just to vent his anger."
"Not really?" Others were not quite convinced.
This is a game after all. In real life, it is not uncommon for murderers to dismember their bodies. It is difficult to simulate such real feelings in a game.
But Jian Jing said: "There is another possibility, provocation."
"To whom? Us?"
She nodded. "Some criminals, the highly intelligent criminals that everyone is familiar with, deliberately do something at that time, such as leaving a code or sending a letter to the media as a provocation to the police or detectives. There are also serial killers who kill in the same way as their own identification feature, deliberately letting people know that the case was committed by them."
The guests laughed and thought it was possible.
Although it is difficult to draw the murderer, it is also the focus of the entire live broadcast. Whether it is a show of skill or a trick, we cannot rule out the deliberate mentality.
After all, this is not just reasoning, it is also a game, and the game is the strategy of the game.
Kojima Wataru: "Since Mr. Jian mentioned it, why don't we sort out the significance of the headless corpse."
He looked at Jian Jing inquiringly, and she made a "whatever you want" gesture.
“First, the headless corpse trick that everyone is most familiar with is that the victim and the perpetrator are swapped. The clothes of the corpse are A’s, so people think that A is the dead one, and B’s whereabouts are unknown, and he is suspected of murder and absconding. In fact, A is the murderer and has run away wearing B’s clothes.
"Second, you need a skull to create a sleight of hand. For example, you use a human head and clothes to create the illusion that the deceased is in a secret room. There is only one vent in the room, and people cannot go in or out. But the deceased just disappears like that. In fact, the murderer used a mechanism to take the head out of the secret room and then dumped the body somewhere else."
Jian Jing: "This is a good trick. Have you ever written one?"
"Yes, it's in the third volume of my work." Xiaodao Shi said politely, "If you want, Jane, I can send you a set."
"It would be disrespectful to refuse," she said. "Please continue."
"Third, the need for serial killings. The murderer cut off the first person's head and put it on the second person's head, and then moved the head to the second person's head, making a fuss about the number and timing of the bodies. I won't go into details here.
"Fourth, human body puzzle. The murderer killed multiple victims, cut off parts of their bodies, and pieced together the image of a corpse in his mind. Or he used this to confuse the number of corpses and deceive the public.
"Fifth, trophies or souvenirs. I noticed that there were many head dolls in the witch's house. Perhaps the human head has a special meaning in some cultural customs, and the murderer used it as his medal of honor."
"Sixth, the faceless corpses are similar in appearance, just to hide the identity of the deceased. This is probably what Jian Sang suspected the most, and he was worried that the corpse he saw was not Dan."
