Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Chapter 73. (1/2)
Xu Jia blinked and looked around. She found that she, Si Hai, Qiyuan, and Xiao Yin were all standing in front of the designated players’ (No. 1-6) turntables.
Among them, Qi Yuan held Si Hai’s wrist with his left hand and fixed the turntable with his right hand to prevent it from moving.
Si Hai also fixed the turntable and grabbed Xiao Yin.
Xiao Yin fixed the turntable with both hands and refused to let it move.
As for herself… Xu Jia glanced at it and saw the one holding Si Hai with his left hand and Xiao Yin with her right hand.
On the other side, two people stood beside the turntable to confirm the amount (1-6) – Le Lin and Lin Xi.
Qi Yuan silently let go of his hand and said, “The scope of suspects has been further narrowed.”
In the second round of the game, Xu Jia chose the contestant and turned out No. 4 (Le Lin). The turntable did not move, so it was still him.
The number of turntables should have been 3, but now it has changed, indicating that someone has moved the turntable. Obviously, the designer was one of Le Lin and Lin Xi.
Si Hai looked at it quietly, thinking quickly in her heart.
Xiao Yin muttered, “The designer is Lin Xi, right? If Le Lin were the designer, he wouldn’t have accumulated his own task fee…”
In the end, her voice automatically weakened because she suddenly thought that it might be a self-made drama, deliberately designing herself as a victim to get rid of suspicion.
Le Lin raised his eyebrows and looked surprised at Lin Xi, “It turned out to be you.”
Lin Xi raised the corner of his mouth and showed a faint smile. “Don’t pretend. Haven’t I caught you?”
The two pulled each other and insisted that the other was the designer.
The other four people came closer, with serious expressions, as if the judge was about to conduct a trial.
Xu Jia spoke first, “Tell me, what are your plans? Why are you standing here?”
Le Lin said, “I am not the designer, so when the target is No. 4, I think the designer is more likely to turn the number dial to increase the theft. So I came over and caught the person close to the dial.”
Looking at Lin Xi, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, “Except Lin Xi, no one has approached the number dial.”
Lin Xi said, “I am closer to the number dial, so I came over to take care of it. When someone approached, I caught the person and didn’t let him leave. After turning on the light, I realized that the person I had caught was Le Lin. Someone moved the number dial (from 3 to 4), so I should have caught the designer, right?”
Both statements make sense.
Qi Yuan asked, “Are you sure the designer turned the turntable? There shouldn’t be a scumbag who moved the turntable without being the designer?”
Lin Xi replied categorically, “I’m not the designer, and I didn’t move the turntable.”
Le Lin said, “I don’t have eight arms, so I can’t take care of it. So I only caught people and didn’t touch the turntable.”
In other words, there was indeed a designer among the two, and the designer turned the turntable.
“Why do I feel something is wrong?” Si Hai raised her hand and asked, “You are the target. Why do you care about the number turntable if you are not the designer?”
Shouldn’t you quietly change the target and replace it with someone else?
Le Lin asked back expressionlessly, “Even if I want to turn it in, will you let me succeed?”
Si Hai was speechless. The other four gathered at the target turntable naturally because they didn’t want anyone to touch it, and they replaced the original number 4 with someone else. In this way, no matter how much money was stolen, No. 4 would be unlucky, and the others would be fine.
Think about it carefully, does Le Lin’s behavior make sense? Si Hai thought to herself.
If he runs over, can he turn the turntable? You’re kidding, there are so many people waiting there! Le Lin was about to argue but suddenly stopped – why should he prove to others that the designer is Lin Xi?
The game’s rules are that the player who guesses correctly will get 1/n of the designer’s accumulated amount. In other words, if everyone else guesses wrong, only he guesses right. He will get 1/2 of the accumulated amount (Le Lin and Lin Xi share it equally).
If the task fee is a little more, there is a chance to counterattack and squeeze into the top three.
Thinking of this, Le Lin suddenly said, “But it was pitch black just now. I’m not sure if someone came and left.”
Team of four, “???”
Xu Jia looked at Le Lin strangely, “Do you suspect that someone turned the number dial and ran to the four of us?”
“That’s right.” Le Lin nodded extremely thoughtfully and said confidently, “There is such a possibility, isn’t it?”
“Impossible.” Qi Yuan was the first to deny, “I didn’t hear the sound of running footsteps.”
Xu Jia questioned, “Turning the number dial and then walking over, there won’t be enough time, right? Besides, can the designer see the direction clearly?”
“We caught each other very early. Theoretically, there is a possibility that someone sneaked in, but it doesn’t work in practice.” Si Hai added.
Xiao Yin glanced at Le Lin, “Trying to find someone to take the blame, but didn’t expect to be exposed because of this, right?”
The four of them talked one after another and immediately analyzed the situation very clearly.
Le Lin kept silent; a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face as if he was annoyed at saying the wrong thing.
Then, he looked at Lin Xi, raised his voice suddenly, and said confidently, “If it’s not someone else, then it must be this guy!”
“Keep acting.” Xiao Yin sneered.
Lin Xi understood instantly. Next to the digital dial, there were only him and Le Lin, so others couldn’t tell them apart, but they knew who had done it.
Therefore, Le Lin must have guessed that he was the designer. Now, saying this is just throwing a smoke bomb, not wanting others to think it and dilute the accumulated amount.
