A subtle undercurrent surges.
After a while, Liu Xiuzhi spoke: "Ms. Terauchi found a very important clue, but I think the murderer didn't realize it. This is undoubtedly a frame-up. The murderer is Chinese."
He looked at Jiang Xinyan and said confidently: "You are the vessel. It is you who pushed for it. The purpose is to let Danli establish your successor and then kill him. In this way, you can become the legitimate successor."
Jiang Yan asked dryly: "Where did you learn about the reincarnation technique?"
"witch."
"According to your logic, if the witch wants to sell the elixir, it may be because of me. Instead, she may make a deal with the third brother. He marries her granddaughter, and she leaks the secret." Jiang Yanyan once again pointed the spearhead at Park Minzhe.
Liu Xiuzhi: "You lied."
Jiang Yuyan smiled. He had smiled a lot recently, and this time he raised the corners of his lips, smiling especially sweetly and teasingly: "Why do you think I'm lying?"
Liu Xiuzhi hurriedly said: "I'm telling the truth, please don't be angry."
"Why are you angry? I'm just curious." Jiang Yanyan said with a smile, "I think my reasons are sufficient. Dan came to me because I am from a different family. He is usually very nice to me, but that is limited. You should understand how these old people think, right? As long as we have the same surname, we are a family."
"He came to you, and you also went to him. Dan's health is already very poor. You want to become the heir, so shouldn't you seize the opportunity to show your ability?" Liu Xiuzhi said, "Besides, you only answer when others ask you. You have been on the defensive, hoping that others will not doubt you. You have not investigated the murderer."
Jiang Xinyan said confidently: "I think everyone is very reasonable."
After he said that, Liu Xiuzhi had no choice but to smile apologetically: "I just expressed my personal opinion, I didn't mean anything else."
"It's okay. I'm not angry." Jiang Xinyan's expression was sincere and full of tea aroma.
Zhang Xueer tried to smooth things over: "Then let me tell you what I think. Kumiko is right. Dan may not have called the container over, but there was one person who was willing to go find him and expressed his determination to kill someone."
She looked at Park Min-chul, "Of all the people, you are the only one who prepared the poison. Your murderous intention is obvious. I highly doubt you. And you chopped off the witch's hand. It's very likely that she said you were lucky and you hold a grudge against her."
Park Min-chul opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain something, but quickly closed it again.
"Indeed." Xiaodao nodded, "Of all the people, you are the only one who has murderous intentions towards Dan and has reason to hate witches."
Jin Laner asked: "Does Mr. Xiaodao also think that reporter Park is the murderer?"
"I think he is a high suspicion, but I haven't made up my mind yet," replied Kojima Shima.
Jin Lan'er wrinkled her nose in distress, looking very cute: "Everyone is making good points. Now I know who to vote for."
"It's just my intuition," Zhang Xueer said. "Whoever my intuition says is who."
Jin Lan'er thought about it and said embarrassedly: "To be honest, I doubt Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Xinyan: "What?"
"Intuition, I feel like you're hiding something." She said, "Generally speaking, my intuition is pretty accurate. Do you understand what I mean? The sixth sense is like a superpower. It's your brain telling you that something is right, so I trust my feelings."
He sighed and spoke.
"Oh, the most important thing." Jin Lan'er said, "I noticed that you avoided Miss Jian's sight very much. When she looked at you, you hid away. It's very strange. You are so guilty. What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Xinyan spread his hands and answered simply.
Now there are only two people left who have not expressed their opinions.
Kojima Wataru looked at Jian Jing and asked, "Who do you think is the murderer, Jian-san?"
Jian Jing answered and said to herself: "At present, everyone has basically locked up witchcraft. The difference between the suspects is nothing more than whether the murderer is the container or the container's relatives or lovers. For me, as long as the machine is found, the rest is to look at the physical evidence.
"I know you haven't noticed, but the witch's clothes are a bit messy, and the candles on the altar are scattered. If there was a fight, it would be strange, but the witch died of natural causes, so why is the scene so messy? Generally speaking, deliberately disturbing the scene is to disguise it as a burglary, but the secret room works.
"Considering Raj's testimony, I believe that the murderer stayed at the scene for a while after the murder, searched the scene, and searched the witch's body. What was his purpose?"
"Looking for something?"
"I remember seeing it before, messing up the scene is to hide something, or to make people ignore that something is missing."
"What is it?" Zhang Xueer asked directly.
Jian Jing paused and said slowly: "Normally, as a detective, I am willing to explain things clearly and make the criminal confess his guilt, but..."
She took a breath and looked at everyone: "Today everyone is a detective. I have already shared my thoughts. If I continue, it will easily confuse your thinking. Please vote for the suspect you think is right."
"that's all."
Jian Jing closed her notebook and leaned back in her chair.
Kojima Wataru looked at her and suddenly said, "I originally had two suspects, the third son and the nephew. Before, I always preferred the former, because Dan chose his fiancée as the first person to discover the murder. Jane Sang said that Dan wanted her to bear the suspicion of his own death so that the secret would remain forever. I agree with this very much.
"That alone is enough to clear her of the crime, but what if the third son identified her? The only thing the fiancée can rely on is her fiancé. So, conversely, since Dan chose her, then it is very likely that he himself will become the third son.
"My first suspect is reporter Park. But just now, I changed my mind. As a detective, it is only natural for me to let the criminal lie down. Jane Sang's reason can completely convince me. Why did you do this?"
After waiting for Jian Jing to answer, he expressed his guess himself.
"Because you want to identify your friend." Kojima said, "I believe you choose the truth, but out of morality to your friend, you have to identify him in public, right?"
Jian Jing looked at him and said, "It's just a game."
"I know." Kojima nodded and looked at the others. "I've finished speaking. Let's vote."

Voting is very simple. Each person has a piece of paper, writes on it and puts it in the box, and then the votes are counted.
It’s all about the heartbeat.
Take turns according to your number and vote.
Five minutes, it's over.
Daniel suddenly appeared: "Hello, everyone, did you miss me?"
"You are reincarnated. You are resurrected from the dead." Li Kangna joked with him.
Daniel smiled and said, "Yes, but unfortunately I also know who the murderer is."
Everyone else was a little nervous and urged him: "Look at the results quickly."
Daniel made a soothing gesture and said to the camera, "Although everyone is anxious to know the result, I still need to explain our rules. Now, excluding the dead Linna and Raj, there are thirteen detectives eligible to vote.
"The winner of the vote is determined by the number of votes. The guest with the most votes will be the identified suspect. If the suspect is indeed the murderer, those who voted correctly will share the $1 million equally, with a minimum of $100,000. There will be no punishment for those who voted incorrectly. If the suspect is indeed the murderer, the murderer will get the $1 million alone."
The rules were written in the contract and everyone knew them long ago, but Jian Jing still couldn't help but complain in her heart.
The trick of this game lies in the prize money. If someone jumps out and guides everyone to vote for the murderer correctly, the money everyone gets will be pitifully small. Therefore, maximizing benefits is not only about finding the murderer, but also about ensuring that the number of people who vote with the same vote is small or large.
Some particularly powerful people can even mislead others into making the wrong votes, while they and their allies make the right votes and get 500,000 each.
Converted into RMB, with a 6-fold exchange rate, the difference is between 600,000 and 3 million.
With 3 million, she could buy a lot of nice furniture for her small house.
Jane Fangnu Jing sighed softly.
"Now, let's reveal the result." Daniel had waited long enough for the answer to be revealed. He took out the paper balls one by one and counted the votes.
"Valeria identified Wu Lie."
Valeria blinked. Wu Lie smiled bitterly.
"Liu Xiuzhi pointed out Jiang Yanyan."
Liu Xiuzhi had a calm expression. Jiang Yanyan had a blank expression.
"Terauchi Kumiko identified Wu Lie."
Kumiko Terauchi gave Takeru an apologetic look, and the latter sighed.
"Park Min-chul identified Jiang Yuyan."
Park Min-chul crossed his fingers. Jiang Yanyan remained expressionless.
"Moo Yeol identified Park Min Chul."
Mu Yeol was calm. Park Min Chul was also calm.
"Andre pointed out Jiang Yanyan."
Andre changed his sitting position. Jiang Yanyan changed his position and supported his head.
"Zhang Xue'er identified Park Min-chul."
Zhang Xueer smiled. Park Minzhe frowned.
"Lee Kang Na identified Park Min Chul."
Lee Kangna was calm, while Park Min-chul frowned even more, looking uneasy.
"Ishikawa Keito identified Jiang Yuyan."
Ishikawa Keito nodded and sat in a relaxed posture. Jiang Xinyan lay on the table, feeling hopeless.
"Jiang Xiyan identified Park Minzhe."
Jiang Xinyan raised his head, as if he had regained some hope. Park Minzhe looked serious.
"Jin Lan'er pointed out Jiang Yanyan."
Jin Lan'er made a face. Jiang Yanyan lay down again.
Daniel took a breath and said deliberately: "The votes are very concentrated, Jiang Yuyan has 5 votes, Park Minzhe has 4 votes, and Wu Lie has 2 votes. It seems that the next 2 votes are crucial."
He typed the second to last note.
"Kojima is suspected of identifying Jiang Yuyan."
Xiaodaoshe seemed relieved and smiled faintly.
Jiang Xinyan lay down and said weakly: "It seems that I am already the murderer? Give me all the chances of winning."
Park Min-chul also breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, even if he was voted for last, it would not change the outcome. He said thankfully, "That was a close call."
Andre asked: "Did I guess right?"
Jin Lan'er's tense face relaxed and she smiled.
Liu Xiuzhi adjusted her expression, ready to enter the camera at any time.
"Kojima-kun's vote was very important." Ishikawa praised, "It directly determined the outcome."
However, Kojima Shigeru looked at Jian Jing and said, "There is still one vote that has not been announced."
Daniel typed the note and glanced at Jian Jing with a surprised look: "Miss Jian, are you sure you didn't write it wrong?"
Jian Jing was at ease: "Of course."
"This is a really unexpected choice." Daniel deliberately kept people in suspense.
Jiang Yanyan sat up suddenly: "Could it be Linna?"
Jian Jing smiled: "Why do you guess so?"
"As long as the murderer is found, he will receive a reward." He said slowly, "If Linnae dies, no one will suspect her. This is the safest outcome."
These words made others feel a little excited.
Many people showed hesitation, but Kojima Shimo said, "Rinna has no chance."
Jiang Yuyan shook his head: "Murder requires a machine, and so does the game."
He was silent.
Daniel was also a seasoned veteran. He listened to their fierce argument but did not announce it. Instead, he put away the note and put it in his pocket. He smiled and said, "I will definitely wait for you to announce this vote later. Maybe it will be a surprise."
Others felt a jolt in their hearts.
Jin Lan'er asked: "Is it possible that we are all wrong, and only Jane guessed it right?"
Daniel smiled and went straight to the next step: "Hand over your ID."
Jiang Yan reached into his pocket and took out his capsule toy.
Daniel said, "Send our murderer to the electric chair."
Two tall and muscular men in black came onto the stage, grabbed Jiang Xinyan, handcuffed him, and pushed him into the electric chair that was raised in the center of the stage.
This is a real retired guy. There are traces of fingernail marks left by prisoners on the armrests, stains of something unknown on the back of the chair, and scratches all over the exposed wood, which is daunting.
Jiang Xiyan was pushed in, and immediately took a breath of cold air, his face pale.
The man in black tied him up tightly with straps, which was really hard to do. Jiang Yanyan tried to struggle, and his wrists were immediately rubbed red.
When the lights came on, his already grim complexion looked even grimmer.
Daniel said in a serious tone: "Mr. Jiang Yanyan, you are charged with murdering Dan and instigating Raj to commit a crime. You are now sentenced to death. Do you have any last words?"
Jiang Xinyan: "... I was wronged."
"Still?"
"No more."
Daniel said, "Execution."
The heavily armed man in black pulled out two guns.
“3, 2, 1—”
"boom!"
The muzzles of the two pistols spewed out blood-red smoke, which at first glance looked like real blood.
Bloody and beautiful.
Jiang Xiyan's body twitched and his neck collapsed limply.
Daniel opened the capsule and took out the note inside. Then, he announced with great sorrow: "We sent a good man to the electric chair."
