There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

When Xu Shuo suddenly lunged at the soldier by the door, the seemingly lifeless and unconscious Manager Zhang also violently moved, chopping a palm strike to the back of the neck of the soldier supporting him.

All of this happened in an instant, and the lady, stunned for half a second next to them, had her expression change sharply!

The woman, who had been tightly bound by ropes, had somehow loosened her bonds without notice, nimbly flipped onto her feet, and, with a bizarrely twisted angle, leaped behind the interrogation chair, her long legs wrapping around the soldier's neck and twisting forcefully!

Right after her move, Manager Zhang immediately knocked over another soldier beside the chair.

Thud——

The soldier who had been supporting Manager Zhang fell to the ground.

The three of them each took down another soldier, but one could only be left to fall, and Manager Zhang had just enough time to catch the other's rifle with his foot to prevent making more noise.

Afterward, silence lingered in the break room.

There was no movement outside.

To settle all this took only two seconds, the three acted in such perfect sync it was as though they had rehearsed it.

The old man lying in the corner stared at them in a daze, clearly unable to wrap his head around what had happened, while the dumbstruck receptionist subconsciously opened her mouth.

Before she could make a noise, Xu Shuo's cold gaze landed on her.

The receptionist shuddered, quickly raised her hands, and clamped her mouth shut, so tightly that her cheeks distorted.

Xu Shuo gently laid down the soldier in his grip, then walked over to the young girl with a soft smile, whispering, "Don't worry, as long as you keep silent, you won't be harmed."

The receptionist believed him, frantically nodding with her hand still over her mouth, afraid that any delay might result in her being silenced permanently.

The old man behind her looked on with confused alarm.

With such skills, they really weren't ordinary people, were they? Even the genteel Doctor Kong was…

The old man's thoughts had barely reached this point when suddenly everything went dark before his eyes.

At the same time, the receptionist also collapsed.

The lady, who had silently taken down the two, rubbed her hands, her expression cold as ice, nothing like her previously pitiful demeanor, and her gaze turned to the other two with puzzlement.

Manager Zhang, completely disregarding the drastic change in his companion's demeanor, wiped the blood from his face and eyed Doctor Kong with a sinister gaze, his fingers twitching with anticipation.

Xu Shuo, as if oblivious, simply chuckled softly, saying, "I've got a piece of information for you. Tonight at ten o'clock, the Capital Commandant will have a secret meeting with someone from District 10 in the hotel's backyard. Yes, right now."

"The hotel's backyard..." Manager Zhang frowned.

"District 10?" The lady's eyes flickered slightly, and she tensed her body's muscles subtly.

Xu Shuo gave her a look, his lips still curled in a faint smile. After locking eyes with him, a shiver ran through her.

Once their minds had almost digested the information, Xu Shuo continued looking at the lady, "During the power outage, it was when you entered room 304 and clashed with the Special Envoy from District 10, wasn't it? It seems you were looking for something?"

At these words, the lady looked up sharply, disbelief in her eyes!

Even Manager Zhang was slightly surprised, reassessing this seemingly gentle and learned doctor. The man's intelligence gathering skills appeared to be stronger than he thought, and his demonstrated strength was not weak either.

Perhaps not so easy to quickly kill.

He calmed his restless thoughts.

The lady stared intently at the man in front of her, her tone icy, "On what basis?"

"Don't worry about how I found out, just understand that I know where that thing is," Xu Shuo said, brimming with amusement.

"What do you want?" The lady eyed him suspiciously.

She was not entirely convinced by his words, but since he had mentioned the matter, he surely had some intention.

Xu Shuo replied, "First, tell me which side you're on."

The lady countered, "You first tell me your identity."

"That's not in conflict with what you're looking for."

"Then tell me where the thing is first."

"Forget it, find it yourself."

"...?"

Who negotiates like this?

You're not going to beat around the bush anymore?!

However, Xu Shuo was indeed very straightforward, he turned his head towards Manager Zhang and was just about to say something.

At that moment, the lady clenched her teeth and said, "Fine, I'll tell you, I'm actually from District 10 as well, and I came here to monitor the Special Envoy's actions!"

Both people beside her expressed some surprise.

The Special Envoys from District 10 had never deliberately concealed their identities, even when she arrived at the five-star hotel, she was wearing the badge of District 10 on her chest.

Therefore, anyone who had some understanding of this would quickly deduce the identity of the woman sitting in the corner.

This also confirmed that the mission from District 10 this time was an official act, likely another round of trade negotiations.

But now, the information revealed by the lady was very interesting.

Xu Shuo pondered with great interest.

The lady glared at him, "Now tell me where the item is, and if you dare to deceive me..."

She was about to utter a threat, but seeing the man's half-smiling expression, she inexplicably felt a little creeped out.

Xu Shuo didn't play coy, he directly said, "The item is on her—the thing is, have you noticed how big certain parts of her are?"

Lady: "..."

Manager Zhang: "..."

Are you seriously discussing this?

No one expected the item to be hidden there; the expressions of the two people present instantly became odd, with Manager Zhang even reminiscing about it.

If you think about it, despite her rigid and serious demeanor, that area was indeed quite large.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The lady's expression was bewildered, "You're not joking?"

She took advantage of the power outage to barge into the other party's bedroom. Although she was discovered quickly, she also seized the opportunity to search many places and didn't find the item.

When the two were fighting, she had deliberately knocked off the other party's coat.

However, she still came up empty-handed.

Xu Shuo spread his hands, "Next time you get the chance, just take a look. Anyway, when you were fighting, the item was indeed there, whether or not she changed hiding places after being startled by you, that's unknown."

Upon hearing this, the lady did not make any more comments, her expression unreadable.

Afterward, Xu Shuo looked towards Manager Zhang with a smile.

Although Manager Zhang had just been tortured severely, as if there wasn't a single part of his body unharmed, his spirits seemed to be quite good now, even the limbs that were broken earlier seemed to have recovered on their own.

Manager Zhang looked at him coldly, without a trace of a pleasant expression, even the murderous intent in his eyes was undisguised.

Xu Shuo smiled and said, "I also know you're looking for someone."

As he said these words, he stared intently into the other's eyes, then understood everything in his heart.

Even though Manager Zhang managed to maintain his expression well, he couldn't suppress the emotional turmoil deep inside, but he still looked at the man in front of him with tightly furrowed brows, unmoved.

Xu Shuo continued, "You tell me your identity, and I'll tell you that person's identity."

Manager Zhang sneered, "Not necessary."

"Are you sure?" Xu Shuo asked with a twinkle in his eyes, "I even know the time and place you agreed to meet, but since I've already entered into a cooperative relationship with that person, he won't be there now if you go."

"..."

Manager Zhang's expression finally cracked, but he was still struggling, "You think I'm going to believe your nonsense? You speak so vaguely, it's just a ploy to fish for my words, in reality, you're not even sure what my target is!"

Xu Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, after one lesson, the man had learned quite fast.
