Death Game: Starting as a Trickster, Pretending to Be a God
Chapter 366: The Brain Trust
After arriving at the hotel, Lin Yu, led by Fu Luo, immediately went to check the scene.
And just as Lin Yu had expected, the scene that even Order couldn't find any clues about indeed revealed nothing to him either.
Everything was too normal...
Even though a murder had clearly occurred in the room, Lin Yu still couldn't spot anything unusual.
Even without Order's relatively professional detection methods, Lin Yu could make a judgment...
"There really shouldn't be any traces of high-level items being used."
Even if items could silently transport someone into this room, a living person's presence couldn't leave absolutely no traces.
As for items capable of "remote killing," that possibility was relatively higher... but Radish's autopsy report didn't indicate that.
Although it mentioned some special energy residue in his soul, these couldn't serve as "evidence."
Item activation also requires conditions - the more powerful the item, the more restrictions it usually has.
Currently, there are no unreasonable items like a "death note" in the player community.
Even for "remote killing," it would have to be a player who had contact with Radish Grandpa.
So, Lin Yu looked at Fu Luo.
"Did you find any 'clues' using your Detective ability?"
Fu Luo didn't answer directly, instead taking out a pipe and putting it in his mouth.
Lin Yu immediately knew this must be his Class Item.
So he raised an eyebrow: "It seems you've found something?"
Fu Luo removed the pipe: "Ah, no, not at all."
"The killer was too thorough. At least inside the room, my ability didn't provide any useful hints."
Hearing Fu Luo's matter-of-fact words, Lin Yu silently sighed.
"This is getting more and more troublesome... It seems our opponent this time is very strong."
"If there are no clues at the scene, the only breakthrough is questioning the suspects."
Fu Luo agreed: "Yes, questioning them one by one, we'll eventually find a breakthrough."
"Let's go, who should we question first?"
Looking at the eager Fu Luo, Lin Yu sighed.
"If I remember correctly, you and I had dungeons on the same day, right?"
Fu Luo was puzzled why Lin Yu suddenly brought this up.
"Yes, what about it?"
Lin Yu rubbed his temples and said: "Then you haven't slept since midnight either, aren't you tired?"
He pointed to the gradually brightening sky outside.
"It's almost 5 AM now. Even if we don't sleep, those 'suspects' might not be awake either."
Lin Yu said helplessly.
"I can already feel my mind getting fuzzy. Even if we question them now, it might be twice the effort for half the results... I don't know how you're still so excited."
Fu Luo sheepishly rubbed his hands: "Ahaha... Actually, I'm a bit tired too, but I figured since it's already this late, might as well stay up another hour or so and find something to do."
Lin Yu was stunned and looked at Fu Luo: "What's your reason for insisting on staying up longer?"
"This hotel has a buffet breakfast at 6:30 AM, and it's quite good," Fu Luo said honestly, "If you buy it separately, it's over a hundred per person... not cheap."
Lin Yu was both amused and exasperated: "Putting the cart before the horse, I really can't believe you."
"I'm going to sleep!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he turned and left this "first crime scene."
Fu Luo didn't forget to ask from behind.
"Okay... do you want me to pack some cake or something for you?"
Lin Yu didn't answer.
Since this auction was organized by the Hunters' Association, although Lin Yu was on a mission investigating for Order, accommodation was still arranged by the Hunters' Association people.
The wealthy Hunters' Association naturally arranged for Lin Yu to stay in this luxury hotel too.
Holding his room key, Lin Yu took the elevator and slowly went down to the sixteenth floor where his king room was located.
The elevator doors opened, and Lin Yu found his room according to the room number, swiped his card, and returned to his room.
Although just a business king room, it was spacious, bright, luxurious, exuding the scent of money from top to bottom - even the bathroom was larger than Lin Yu's usual bedroom.
He closed the door, lay on the bed, and opened his backpack.
Lin Yu let out a long sigh.
He wasn't lying to Fu Luo - Lin Yu really felt exhausted now...
Before entering the dungeon, he had been studying, and after entering the dungeon, he was mentally confused by the first-generation Freud's design. Then right after recovering his memories, he had to outsmart the Diviner.
Returning to reality, he immediately came to Haicheng to investigate a murder case... Lin Yu's brain had reached its limit.
"I really admire those energetic geniuses in fictional works," Lin Yu rubbed his temples, slowly relaxing his muscles, "It turns out I'm just an ordinary person."
While sighing, he also kept an eye on Hannah carrying Old Zheng's brain as they crawled out.
At first glance, it looked like a brain with eight tentacles, very much like some monster from a B-movie or horror game, enough to make one's sanity plummet.
Seeing them come out voluntarily, Lin Yu took the opportunity while resting to arrange things: "Is this room under surveillance, Hannah?"
"Ribbit! Director, please rest assured, there should be no one spying here!"
Hannah stated confidently.
Old Zheng also added: "I didn't sense any similar methods either..."
Lin Yu nodded and simply released Stiller too.
Although he really needed rest, Lin Yu returning to his room wasn't without other purposes.
Precisely because he was ordinary, not a genius, Lin Yu needed to consult his trusted helpers.
Whether it was Truth Corporation's ace enforcer, the descendant of divine spokespersons, or the former Psychological Society leader - none were ordinary characters. They were experienced and knowledgeable while possessing high intelligence.
And in a way, these three were professionally suited for this.
Hannah excelled at infiltration and disguise, Old Zheng might know some of these suspects, and Stiller had even executed a locked room murder case himself.
Before questioning those veteran players, asking for their opinions could make his interrogation process smoother.
"So... everyone, what are your thoughts about this case?"
As Lin Yu spoke, Old Zheng was the first to respond.
"Hey, friend, don't say it, don't say it... I actually have some ideas."
Lin Yu looked at the brain: "Oh?"
"I knew Radish," Old Zheng said confidently, "And when that kid in the car reported the suspect names earlier... I heard two names that had conflicts with him."
"Phoenix and Hundred-Tempered Steel - these two didn't get along with Radish!"
