"What's going on?" Before Shi Ning could move, the curtain at the entrance of the hot spring was pulled up, and Ye Lan walked out with a sullen face.

"I just heard someone shouting that someone was dead?" Thomas's face looked a little strange. "Why do I feel like there are accidents wherever we go?"

"It's better to say that the system is making us move closer to danger." Shi Ning summed up.

"Let's go and take a look." Nashida tugged at Shi Ning's hand, signaling the girl to pick her up.

Shi Ning was stunned for a moment. She was a little at a loss and carefully held Nashida in her arms.

"Don't you think... I don't look like the person you know?" Shi Ning was walking in front, and she couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

"People always have many sides. We only show others the side we want them to see, so I never think about what you should be like." Nashida reached out and gently pinched Shi Ning's cheek, "Trust us a little more, okay?"

"I have always trusted you." Shi Ning lied with her eyes open. Although she said this, once she encountered a problem, she would definitely not turn to other classmates for help, but to Elhaisen, the person she had known the longest and who understood her best.

"Liar." Nashida saw what Shi Ning was thinking. She muttered and lay on Shi Ning's neck. "Then learn to trust us from now on."

The crime scene was surprisingly clean. When Shi Ning and his companions arrived, quite a few people had already gathered there. The pale-faced waiter was the first person to discover the case.

"Were you the first one to discover the deceased?" Shi Ning looked around quickly.

[Seven-day Statue: Thomas, please help gather everyone around to the lobby, keep an eye on them, and don't let anyone escape.]

【Thomas: OK~】

[Seven-day Statue: Ye Lan, you and Nashida will be my temporary assistants for once. Now, it’s the detective’s turn! ]

[Ye Lan: yes, sir]

[Nashida: Very impressive. Ningning is so handsome when he said this.]

"Ladies and gentlemen, a murder has occurred here and the murderer has not been caught yet. To ensure your personal safety, could you please go to the lobby and wait for us to solve the case?" Thomas stood at the front of the crowd, his handsome face filled with a gentle and cheerful smile. He had a persuasive power that made people unconsciously follow his advice.

It wasn't until everyone was taken to the lobby and settled that some people gradually came to their senses: "Why should we listen to you? There are murderers down there, and our safety cannot be guaranteed!"

"That's right, we can go back to the room and isolate!"

"I promise not to open the door or the window, and I won't touch anything in the room. Let me go back to my room!"

A feeling of irritability spread among the crowd. Although they had never actually seen the appearance of the deceased, they always felt uncomfortable in this place where people had died.

"Sorry, sorry, but you can't leave now." Thomas blocked the door with a smile, "What if the murderer hiding among you goes back to the room and destroys the evidence and the murder weapon? Believe us, this is for your safety."

"If you're really worried, maybe you could move away from the people around you."

Thomas bowed slightly, gave a solution, and then ignored their commotion.

On the other side, Shi Ning felt a little nauseous when he faced the corpse.

It doesn't look like the scenes in TV dramas, or rather, this is a real corpse.

The pale face, the stiff body, the marks of strangulation all over the body, the spurting blood stains even dripping onto the chopping board, together with the old knife marks, formed a horrifying picture.

【Private chat】

[Ye Lan: Ning Ning? How are you? Why don't you and Thomas go out to maintain order? We can handle this.]

[Seven-day Statue: ...No, that's not necessary...As a detective, I will definitely see and deal with these corpses frequently. I'll just vomit it out later.]

[Nashida: Just tell me if you can't bear it... Never mind, you definitely won't tell me. I will watch you, and when you can't bear it anymore, I will send you back to rest.]

"Sorry, this is a murder scene. Please go out and wait. We will definitely give you an explanation." Ito Nobuhiro walked over, his boots making a clacking sound as they touched the wooden floor.

There was still sadness on the young man's face, and his body was shaking slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress his grief.

The waiter who discovered the murder seemed to have found his backbone in an instant, and looked to Ito Nobuhiro for help.

"Sir, sir, it's not me. I didn't kill anyone. I really didn't kill anyone. He was already like this when I saw him..."

The waiter was obviously frightened out of his wits.

"Sorry, I think we are not qualified to conduct an investigation here." Although her face was pale, Shi Ning's attitude was extremely tough. She took out the detective certificate from her pocket and placed it in front of Jing Teng Xin, while carefully observing this man who took over the industry from his parents at a young age.

【Private chat】

[Ye Lan: You still carry this with you? ]

[Seven-day Statue: Uh-huh, I know everything~]

[Ye Lan: You are very good at staying calm and having solutions.]

[Seven-day Statue: Hehe]

Generally speaking, when someone dies in front of them, humans' reaction is never sadness, but rather they are eager to distance themselves from the death. Only after they have cleared their name will they engage in a series of physiological and psychological activities such as fear and sadness. However, Ito Nobuhiro directly skipped the first stage and entered the second stage.

Although his sadness was obvious, as a capitalist, why wasn't his first reaction that the store's customer flow would be affected?

Although we don't want to admit it, this is indeed the bad nature of human beings.

"Miss Detective? Well, since you are so insistent, please make sure to catch the murderer. There will be a generous reward." The man flipped through the detective certificate in his hand, as rigorous and careful as if he was confirming that the person in front of him was a real detective.

His eyes mostly stayed on the photo and address, instead of checking the seal on the back of the certificate. He even just glanced at the most important seal.

He knows something, but he has been hiding it. Is it because he doesn't trust me or is he unwilling to do so?

Shi Ning put the certificate back into his pocket thoughtfully.

"Sir, what is your relationship with the victim?" Shi Ning looked back at the victim's innocent face, then turned around and asked.

The man showed a look of grief again, his eyes reddened: "He is my uncle Ito Yoriyoshi, we have always had a good relationship, so I... I'm sorry, I lost my composure a little."

The description is very good, but the performance is too much. Shi Ning observed Jing Teng Xinhong and commented.
