After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Although reluctant, Ye Sanqing still called out to Ye Wanyin.

"Come to my room." Ye Sanqing turned to Pan Hongyu. "The doctor is coming too; I have some questions to ask him."

Before entering the room, she gave Sheng Hanyu a look, as if to say, "Good luck to you."

Sheng Hanyu received the signal and shook her head.

His character is definitely not in any life-threatening danger. Although it's rare, he read the script twice to confirm this, but it's true.

He even suspected that there might be some information he didn't know and that he needed to learn from others.

Now only he, Ji Wan, and Mu Zhihong, who was lagging slightly behind, remained outside. He took a breath and said, "Mr. Ji, please?"

Ji Wan gave him a sinister smile. "No, I'm going with Mr. Mu."

Is tonight Christmas Eve?

That's a different game!

The cameras aren't even filming their room entrance anymore; something's definitely going to happen.

Sheng Hanyu found it strange. If the other party was the murderer, wouldn't it be impossible for them to make it so obvious that they wanted to stab someone?

But he didn't say much and went into an empty room.

After a while, Zhu Song narrated: "The next morning, a scream shattered the tranquil air..."

"Oh my God!" Ye Sanqing exclaimed loudly and calmly from the open doorway.

Pei Canxing walked out from the side door, his clothes disheveled.

Ye Sanqing looked at him with a hint of surprise, but quickly turned to Sheng Hanyu, who came out even faster, and asked, "Is it just the two of you?"

“Should we knock on the door and wake the others, Your Excellency?” Sheng Hanyu said.

“No… if no one comes out even though I’m shouting so loudly, then it’s probably a bad situation,” Ye Sanqing said, then turned his gaze to Yin Xiangming who had followed him out.

Pei Canxing pretended to help him up, but he was disgusted and pushed her away.

[I'm shipping them again!] Many fans who ship this couple started celebrating again in the comments.

[Something's strange, only a few of them? So many died in one night? This isn't right.]

[It seems Ye Wanyin has died] Discussions about the plot continue.

Ye Sanqing gestured for everyone to come into her living room first. As soon as they entered, they saw Ye Wanyin lying on the sofa with her hands hanging down, her face showing an expression of unresolved death, while Pan Hongyu was standing next to her.

"You did this?" Pei Canxing exclaimed in surprise. "Didn't you even try to cover it up?"

"No, she was trying to harm me." Ye Sanqing looked at Ye Wanyin as if she were looking at something dirty. "Last night she asked to drink with me. I felt something was wrong, so I switched our glasses when she left. Nothing happened after we drank. I thought I was overthinking it."

Ye Sanqing was also seemingly reciting lines when he was actually involved in the incident of drugging someone at the banquet before Yin Yang.

"And this is what happened when I woke up this morning, even though I didn't do anything."

“I can testify that everything was calm last night, and we only found out what happened this morning,” Pan Hongyu said from the side. “As for what kind of poison it was, we can’t test it right now.”

Ye Wanyin's eyes widened, wishing the corpse could speak!

It was clearly Pan Hongyu who told her, "You've been drugged and you're dead now!"

After carefully analyzing the plot, she realized that she had indeed tampered with Ye Sanqing's wine yesterday. Seeing that he didn't react, she assumed that the drug's effects only took effect in the morning.

Who knew that she would be the one to die!

"How could this happen, Wanwan? You're so foolish!" Pei Canxing sighed a few times, feigning concern.

"What's going on? Your sister is dead, and you, as her brother, aren't even here to see her?" Ye Sanqing reminded everyone that they should go find those two people.

Everyone went out to Ji Wan and Mu Zhihong's room, knocked on the door but no one answered, so Ye Sanqing just pushed the door open and went in.

"I am the owner, so I should have the key," Ye Sanqing explained.

The situation in the room was quite clear: Mu Zhihong had a tie around his neck, probably to show that he had been strangled, while Ji Wan was lying on the ground with an ashtray next to his head.

"Is he still alive?" Ye Sanqing asked calmly.

I've discovered the root cause of why I can't get into the role: none of them showed the fear of seeing a corpse, or the sense of urgency that might come next.

So, you mean you think their acting is terrible?

[It's not fair to generalize. First of all, not everyone is an actor. Secondly, the role cards are random, or they might have just been obtained. You guys usually choose your scripts before playing murder mystery games, so it's quite good that you could improvise like this.]

As for the characters, let's not talk about the two who left early. The character Ye Sanqing is very likely the mastermind behind the scenes. Even if she isn't, she should usually be someone who doesn't care about the lives of others.

Yin Xiangming's character is also quite telling; he's all bark and no bite. Since he's already taken off his mask, there's no such thing as a superficial fear.

It's hard to say whether Pei Canxing is heartless or just a bad actor...

Xiao Sheng is a lawyer, and Teacher Pan is a doctor. These are likely functional roles, so whether they express themselves or not doesn't really matter.

As for Ji Wan, a detective, how could a detective be afraid of corpses?

Looking back now, Mu Zhihong and Ye Wanyin's acting was the least convincing. He didn't react to the death of his wife, and she didn't show any affair with her sister-in-law.

However, the eye contact between Ye Sanqing and the others was quite intriguing.

[Wow, that analysis was so clear! I'd love to be carried next time I run a dungeon!]

I don't play murder mystery games at all; I just read a lot of mystery novels.

At this moment, Ji Wan began to struggle, and Pei Canxing and Sheng Hanyu went over to help him up.

Ye Sanqing and Yin Xiangming, who was behind the two, exchanged another glance.

Then Ye Sanqing walked over to Mu Zhihong, who was lying down, and checked his breath with his finger, saying, "He's dead."

Mu Zhihong was also very dissatisfied, because the script didn't specify who would die in their fight!

The result after they chose their weapons was that he would die, while Ji Wan was on the verge of death, which was absurd.

Moreover, he didn't know why there was a scene where they started fighting as soon as they walked in; he died without any clear explanation.

Ye Sanqing sighed, "What a pity, there's no one left in my family."

Ji Wan, who had just sat up, suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly, "I can also call you 'stepmother,' do you dare to agree?"

Sheng Hanyu looked at Ye Sanqing with an expression that said, "I already know."

"You're his illegitimate son?" Ye Sanqing's eyes lit up with realization. "But you killed someone, so a criminal doesn't have the right to inherit, right?"

"That's not important. What's important is that I've wanted to kill him for a long time, ever since I was born!" Ji Wan said, seemingly insane. "There can only be one eldest son in this family!"

"Hmm..." Ye Sanqing said, "Then we need to take you under control. You don't have any objections, do you?"

"Do whatever you want, my long-cherished wish has been fulfilled anyway," Ji Wan said, displaying a state of utter despair after his previous madness.

[There are even cases of people self-destructing?]

Generally speaking, self-disclosure is used to cover up other situations.

So they tied a bow on his hand as a token gesture and led him to Ye Sanqing's room.

Ye Wanyin's "body" has left the scene, but there are still "bodies" at the scene.

"How could this happen?" Ji Wan rushed to Pan Hongyu's side in great excitement, his expression turning crazy in an instant.

"Everything was normal when we left just now," Ye Sanqing said, frowning.

"Was it you? Was it you who did it! You are all guilty!" Ji Wan pointed at everyone frantically.

"This guy's gone mad, what should we do?" Seeing this, Ye Sanqing reluctantly sought everyone's opinions.

"Let's isolate them first, and send them to a mental hospital after the snow stops," Pei Canxing suggested.

His tone also changed, becoming more cheerful.

Sheng Hanyu smiled and said, "I suggest everyone go back to the hall, and then I will read the will."

He has seen through the truth of the case, and now it is time for him to make a choice.

The four survivors returned to the hall, while the others who had left sat on the other side, discussing amongst themselves.

Sheng Hanyu took out the will, then placed it face down on the table, and said while supporting herself on the table with both hands, "Before announcing it, I have a suggestion."

"What suggestion?" Pei Canxing asked first.

“My suggestion is…” Sheng Hanyu smiled at him, “A will needs at least two people besides me to be present, and I think there seem to be a bit too many people here.”

He said this with a smile and in a very gentle tone, but the content of his words was enough to freeze the air.

Pei Canxing belatedly rolled his eyes.

He knew the real culprit was still among them, but he didn't intend to deduce it, because the culprit was very likely Ye Sanqing, who would be difficult to deal with.

For his character, surviving and inheriting the estate without revealing the truth is considered a victory in the game.

He had considered that Yin Xiangming might be an obstacle for him, which is why he suggested spending the night with him.

But unexpectedly! The obstacle came from Sheng Hanyu!

Upon hearing Sheng Hanyu's words, Ye Sanqing readily revealed a wicked villainous smile, while Yin Xiangming, resting his chin on his hand, said in a very innocent manner, "Actually, in another half hour, it won't be so crowded anymore~"

"I already told you not to create this kind of persona." Ye Sanqing tapped the table. "Do you know how annoying I get every time I see this kind of feigned innocence?"

"What do you mean? You poisoned me?" Pei Canxing stood up excitedly and said to Yin Xiangming.

"Who told you to touch me? I didn't do it on purpose." Yin Xiangming rolled his eyes.

“…Okay, there’s no antidote?” Pei Canxing quickly calmed down. He dragged the chair over, turned it over, and sat down with his hands on the back of the chair.

"You can be more comfortable lying down and waiting to die," Ye Sanqing said, offering a kind suggestion instead of making things difficult for him.

"So, you guys did it all?" Pei Canxing asked, seemingly intrigued, reverting to his carefree demeanor from the beginning.

"I didn't do anything," Ye Sanqing said, a slight smirk playing on one side of his lips.

"..." Sheng Hanyu found Pei Canxing a bit strange. Logically, he shouldn't have had any chance to turn the tables, but there was nothing the other party could do now. "Then let's look at the will..."

He opened the file folder, took out the papers inside, looked at them, and then looked at Ye Sanqing with a strange expression. "You're pregnant?"
