The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else - Chapter 159

Back in his room, Lu Shijin took out his mobile phone and studied it carefully. There is a social bar in the lower right corner of the APP. When he clicked it, there was only an avatar lying in it. He searched everywhere, but there was really no option to add other friends.

How did Rongzhi add him? It’s really weird.

Lu Shijin thought about it, and tentatively sent a message to Rongzhi.

Lu Shijin: [How did you add my friend? 】

Rongzhi quickly returned a [? 】come over.

Lu Shijin: [I just wanted to add friends to other people, but they don’t seem to have this function for adding friends on their mobile phones, so I want to ask you what’s going on. 】

Rongzhi: [Can’t other people be friends? I’m not sure, wait for me to see. 】

Lu Shijin held the mobile phone and waited for Rongzhi’s reply. He didn’t believe that Rongzhi had the ability to do things on the mobile phone under the surveillance of the APP. Therefore, if Rongzhi could add him as a friend, it must be the acquiescence of the APP. within the scope of the game rules.

The question is, why does this game allow Ron to contact him privately? No one else’s phone has this feature.

This is simply a blatant help cheating.

The phone vibrated, pulling back Lu Shijin’s thoughts.

Rongzhi: [I took a look, I can indeed add friends, but I can’t add others, only you. 】

Lu Shijin: […Why is this? 】

Rongzhi: [BUG? 】

Lu Shijin: [Do you think that with the thief nature of this broken app, there may be such a big bug that cannot be fixed? 】

Rongzhi: [I think, since it allows us to communicate, it must have its purpose. Once it comes, it is safe to accept it. Rather than being suspicious, it is better to accept it calmly. 】

Lu Shijin thinks about it too, everyone is in the fog now, and there is no other better way than to follow the instructions issued by the APP.

Rongzhi: [By the way, is there any result of the discussion? 】

Lu Shijin was about to share some clues he had just obtained in the living room with Rongzhi, when the APP page suddenly jumped and an instruction was released.

“It’s lunch time, everyone, please go to the banquet hall on the first floor.”

Oh, I didn’t expect that breaking the APP is very human, and it will remind them to have lunch.

Lu Shijin only had time to hurriedly send “Don’t vote” to Rongzhi, and then opened the door and walked out.

As soon as the door was opened, Rongzhi, who was next door, and Lu Zhongze, who was separated by an aisle, happened to come out. Lu Shijin only hesitated for half a second, then he smiled at Lu Zhongze and stood in front of the door without moving, as if he was Wait for Lu Zhongze to come over and let’s go together.

Rongzhi passed by Lu Shijin without squinting, as if the two didn’t know each other at all, and went straight downstairs.

Lu Shijin waited for Lu Zhongze to come to his side, walked forward with him, and asked him casually, “Do you think you really called us to dinner?”

Lu Zhongze’s lips twitched slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes, “I’m afraid it’s a Hongmen banquet, not everyone can come back.”

Everyone arrived at the banquet hall one after another, and sat in their original positions.

The main seat that originally belonged to Mr. Lu was empty at the moment, but there were still dishes and knives and forks in front of the seat. I didn’t know who it was for, and it looked a little panicky.

The captain finally walked into the banquet hall, stood in front of the dining table, looked at everyone with a serious face, and said, “After all morning’s consideration, I think everyone should have some guesses about the real murderer, and then we will vote by secret ballot, please everyone. Write down the name of the person you think is the murderer and give it to me, and the person with the most votes will be tortured.”

After the captain finished speaking, the sound of mobile phone vibrating sounded one after another on the dining table, and everyone picked up their mobile phones in unison. Sure enough, the APP interface has become a voting page.

However, there is no option for voting, only a small input box, and you have to type the name of the suspect in it to submit it.

Everyone looked up and you looked at me and I looked at you, with complicated expressions on their faces.

Voting in front of other people is so **** exciting.

Everyone watched each other’s expressions, hoping to get a clue from the changes in each other’s expressions. However, a countdown reminder appeared on the APP soon. If the answer is not submitted before the countdown is over, it will be regarded as a waiver.

Then everyone lowered their heads and continued to fiddle with their mobile phones. Even if not everyone wanted to vote, they had to pretend to cause some psychological oppression to others.

“Voting is over,” the captain said blankly. “I will tell you the results later, so please have lunch first.”

The waiters brought the lunch in turn, caviar salad, cream of mushroom soup, French baked snails, black truffle and black pepper steak… A classic French feast was served to everyone, full of color, flavor, and index finger.

But before the results were announced, everyone seemed to be in no mood to enjoy the food, with knives and forks absently scratching on their plates.

It’s like there is a knife hanging from the back of the neck, I don’t know when it will fall, and the waiting process is especially painful.

“Look at how nervous these people are,” Lu Zhongze turned his head to Lu Shijin’s side and chuckled in a low voice, “Should we take a bet, who will be the first to be eliminated?”

Lu Shijin didn’t answer and asked, “Who do you think it will be?”

Lu Zhongze raised his eyes and looked at the position of Mr. Li’s family of three. At this time, Li’s nephew also raised his head, accidentally met Lu Zhongze’s eyes, and immediately moved away.

Lu Zhongze smiled, “Sometimes a triangle is not necessarily the most stable structure, especially for people’s hearts.”

Lu Shijin cut a piece of steak and put it into his mouth to chew slowly, “Do you think it will be one of the three of them?”

Lu Zhongze smiled without saying a word, looked at him: “How about you?”

Lu Shijin glanced at Lu Zhongze’s right hand. After a while, Miss Gao changed into a white dress that was different from the one in the morning, and tasted the wine elegantly with a wine glass.

Lu Shijin pondered for a while, then deliberately lowered his voice and said, “Miss Gao.”

Lu Zhongze raised his eyebrows: “Why?”

Lu Shijin shrugged, “Women are jealous of women who are more beautiful than themselves. Mrs. Li and Mrs. Feng are obviously hostile to Miss Gao, and they will likely join forces to cast Miss Gao out.”

“It makes sense,” Lu Zhongze raised his glass and saluted Lu Shijin, “then wait for the result and see who guesses right.”

The answer didn’t make them wait too long, and before the meal was over, the captain returned to the banquet hall from outside.

“Everyone, I have counted the voting results. The suspect with the most votes is not necessarily the real murderer, but please cooperate with our investigation.” The captain opened an envelope and read, “A total of ten people participated in the voting. Five people voted, five abstained, and a total of two people got the votes, and the one who got two votes was—”

The captain dragged his voice and sold Shimon. Lu Shijin was surprised to hear that half of the people voted in the first round, but he was even more shocked when he heard from the captain that the person who got two votes was Lu Zhongze. endlessly.

Two people actually voted for Lu Zhongze?

But Lu Zhongze doesn’t seem to have obvious motives, and he’s not the most suspicious person. Why did he get two votes?

Those who voted for these two votes either had evidence that the murderer pointed at Lu Zhongze, or Lu Zhongze’s existence posed a threat to them.

It seems that Lu Zhongze is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

“There is another one, who has won three votes, and he is—” The captain glanced at everyone, wherever he moved his gaze, there was a tense atmosphere, and finally he settled his gaze on the seat next to his right hand. On Mr. Li, “I’m sorry Mr. Li, you got three votes. Now please go to the interrogation room with me to participate in the interrogation.”

Mr. Li’s face turned white, and he said with a trembling voice, “Interrogation room? No! I’m not going! I’m not the murderer!” He stood up and pointed at the others excitedly, “Who? Who among you voted for me?!” He seemed to have thought of something, and looked down at Mrs. Li, who was closest to him, with a grim expression, “Is that you?!”

“It’s not me!” Mrs. Li clutched her chest and shook her head in denial, “It’s definitely not me!”

“That’s you?” Mr. Li glared at his nephew with a sullen look in his eyes, and his nephew quickly shook his head to deny it, so Mr. Li pointed at Lu Zhongze, who was on the opposite side, and shouted, “It’s you! Who are you trying to harm me!”

The captain didn’t give Mr. Li a chance to get angry, he beckoned two tall sailors, and put Mr. Li out.

Captain: “Everyone, we will interrogate Mr. Li, and the results of the interrogation will be announced to you later. If you have finished your lunch, you can go back to your room to rest, or you can have fun on the boat. The areas on the first and second floors are currently open. But access to the third floor is prohibited.”

This is the beginning of gradually opening up public areas for them to come and find clues, and the game continues.

First of all, Lu Shijin didn’t vote by himself. If Rongzhi listened to his words and didn’t vote, then almost half of the remaining eight people voted for Mr. Li, which is not a small proportion.

If Mr. Li is the real murderer, then the game should be over long ago, but the game is not over yet, which means that the real murderer has not been found yet, and poor Mr. Li has become a scapegoat.

Lu Shijin couldn’t help but speculate, whose interests did Mr. Li affect to be targeted collectively like this?

As soon as they heard that they could go to search for evidence, the rest of the people couldn’t sit still and got up and left the banquet hall one after another.

Lu Shijin saw Rongzhi leave, and after a while, he walked out naturally, followed Rongzhi far behind, saw him enter the bathroom, Lu Shijin wandered outside for a while, made sure there was no one around, then walked in, and locked it behind him. Go to the bathroom door.

“Did you vote?” As soon as they met, Lu Shijin asked Rongzhi straight to the point.

Rongzhi shook his head: “No, didn’t you tell me not to vote?”

Lu Shijin lowered his eyes: “That means, apart from the two of us, two of the other eight voted for Lu Zhongze, and three voted for Mr. Li. There must be something wrong with them…”

“What exactly did you discuss in the reception room?” Rong Zhi asked.

Lu Shijin raised his eyes and looked at Rongzhi, and told him what Lu Zhongze and his nephew Li said in the living room one by one.

After hearing this, Rong Zhi was silent for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice, “Obviously, Lu Zhongze and Mr. Li’s family are biting each other. As for the reason, only they know.”

“But the game is not over yet, Mr. Li is not the real murderer,” Lu Shijin rolled his eyes, “Could the murderer be Lu Zhongze?”

Rongzhi: “It is possible, but not certain. The good news is that in the next round of voting, the five people who voted wrong will not be able to participate. We are relatively safe.”

Lu Shijin pulled his lips: “Safe? Then we have to clean ourselves to be safe.”

Feeling that the phone suddenly vibrated, Rongzhi took out the phone and opened it to read the news. Seeing this, Lu Shijin suddenly moved, and silently walked to Rongzhi’s side, pretending to watch it with him naturally.

Rongzhi’s face was calm, but he had no intention of concealing it, so Lu Shijin took a reassurance.

“After the interrogation, Mr. Li is not the real murderer who killed Mr. Lu.” Rongzhi stared at the words displayed on the APP and read, “According to Mr. Li’s account, he embezzled the company’s public funds without authorization because of the failure of the investment, which was discovered by Mr. Lu. , Mr. Lu asked him to fill the loophole within a month, otherwise he would let Mr. Li leave the company, so Mr. Li wanted to kill Mr. Lu, but he did not do it directly. Unfortunately, during the interrogation, Mr. Li suddenly He suffered a heart attack and died after the rescue was ineffective. There is still no time to give more information. Now the room 201 where Mr. Li lives is opened, and everyone can go to search for evidence. Please note that the real culprit is still hidden among you, and it is very likely that he will kill again. Please be careful.”

“Heart disease?” Lu Shijin couldn’t believe it. Just now, Mr. Li was sitting down to eat with them. A big living person, “Just died like this?”

Rongzhi put away his phone, looked at the mirror in front of him, buttoned the top button of his neckline, and said calmly, “Now this game is officially started.”
