How to become an ACE of a top boy group

After everyone had finished introducing themselves, Gu Minxing asked them to turn to the second half of the script, and everyone showed different expressions.

Gu Minxing first presented a piece of evidence: "Lu the hunter got into gambling this year and borrowed a large sum of money. He urgently needs to pay off his debts, but Zhang San is unwilling to help him pay them off, and the two have a very bad relationship."

"What do you mean? Are you going to doubt me? I'm his brother-in-law, I wouldn't kill him, would I?" Lu Yun said emotionally.

According to the information given in his script, Lu the hunter blamed the disappearance of the vase on Chen Zui. "Zhang San told me before he left that night that Antique Zhang was going to send someone to kill him, and he was going to give the vase to the head constable for safekeeping. They knew each other before."

Officer Chen immediately retorted, "Zhang San told me that night that someone wanted to kill him, and he left the vase with me for safekeeping, but he didn't give the vase to me!"

“You’re lying!” said Hunter Lu. “He definitely took the vase out to you that night. I was secretly following you! I saw it all!”

Officer Chen retorted, "You're the one lying! Zhang San only told me that someone wanted to kill him and asked me to protect him!"

Zhang Shuaizhen also said, "Me, send someone to kill him? What reason would I have? You really don't think I'm the murderer, do you?"

Seeing that the others didn't quite believe him, Zhang Shuai said sincerely, "...I'm not the murderer, really!"

“I have some more evidence here.” Gu Minxing said, presenting the evidence: On the day Zhang San died, at 1 a.m., some residents heard people making a fuss at night, not at 3 a.m. as the night watchman and the residents said.

Night watchman Li Longxuan said, "Was it another group of people causing trouble around 1-3 AM? I discovered it around 3-5 AM, but I probably didn't pay attention."

"I only saw it after I woke up; it was the hour of Yin (3-5 AM)," said Ye Zhixi, a local resident, with certainty.

Fortune teller Song Chuchu said, "Maybe they conspired to take the vase; they're all greedy people!"

Resident Ye Zhixi said, "How could it not be you who took it? I've seen Zhang San always running to your stall before!"

“There is another piece of evidence.” Gu Minxing presented the evidence again, “Zhang San suffered serious injuries and poisoning, and died from his injuries. There were traces of vomit around him when he died.”

"Now, the evidence is almost all laid out."

"Please help us find the murderer and the person who stole the vase."

"Just like that, we're already finding the killer?" Lu Yun asked. "Isn't that too fast?"

“You can discuss this further,” Gu Minxing said.

Although it was just a very short script, everyone still argued about it very enthusiastically and seriously for a long time. In the end, Gu Minxing called a halt because the filming time had to be taken into consideration.

In the end, Zhang, the straightforward antique dealer, received the most votes for the murderer, while Chen, the inexplicable constable, received the most votes for the vase thief.

“That’s definitely not right. There’s no way to explain it.” Li Longxuan, who voted for the murderer as the fortune teller and Zhang Shuzhen, said.

"It really wasn't me! My script clearly states that I wasn't the murderer!!" Zhang Shuzhen still insisted that he wasn't the murderer.

"Hurry up, hurry up, reveal the answer! I don't know the murderer, it's the 100% Detective who stole the vase!" Lu Yun said urgently.

“The murderer and the person who stole the vase are,” Gu Minxing revealed the answer, “everyone.”

"what?"

"But my script really says I didn't kill him. I did send someone, but they didn't succeed. Zhang San escaped!"

"I really hate this kind of plot! Why not just stop looking in the first place? Just arrest them all!"

"...Can I skip this kind of game next time?"

"But our answer is already very close."

Gu Minxing recounted the entire course of the case as thoroughly investigated by the government.

After stealing the treasure, the tomb raider Zhang San originally intended to sell it. However, after agreeing on a price with the antique dealer Zhang, he didn't want to give the treasure to anyone. So, he came up with a plan to fake his death and then take half the money and the treasure with him.

He and the fortune teller were old friends. Knowing that the fortune teller had anesthetics, he went to buy some. Originally, it was anesthetic, but the fortune teller, seeing his treasure, became greedy and gave him real poison instead.

Zhang San deliberately let the hunter, the night watchman, and the villagers see him. He then gave the fake vase to the head constable, saying that someone was trying to kill him and asking the head constable to protect him secretly.

The constable got the vase, but he didn't help Zhang San.

On the night of the incident, on their way back, Zhang San and Hunter Lu encountered Antique Zhang's henchman. Zhang San asked his brother-in-law, Hunter Lu, to report the incident to the authorities, but Hunter Lu wanted to keep Zhang San's half of the money and take back the treasure, so he didn't report it to the authorities and returned to the hotel.

Zhang San was surrounded and attacked by thugs. In desperation, he had no choice but to take an anesthetic to escape. However, it turned out to be real poison. When the poison took effect, the thugs fled.

The villagers and the night watchman found Zhang San but did not help him; instead, they took the money from him.

The real vase was stolen by the hotel owner, and it's now in a secret room in the hotel. He revealed Zhang San's whereabouts to Antique Zhang's henchmen.

"...Wait a minute. So, what you're saying is that everyone had the intention to steal the treasure and kill Zhang San, so they're all murderers?" An Kexin concluded.

"Actually, I still didn't quite understand. Zhang San died from poison, so the murderer should be the fortune teller!" Zhang Shuaizhen said.

"What exactly is that treasure like?"

"In the end, the treasure was found by the government and handed over to the authorities..."

As Gu Minxing spoke, the scene shifted, revealing the treasure they had mentioned: a white porcelain vase painted with a hundred flowers and the image of a cuckoo crying blood. The intricate and vibrant flower and bird paintings on the vase were lifelike, with birds crying out into the air and faint traces of blood flowing from their beaks.

In Gu Minxing's solo shot, he stands in front of a vase, seemingly talking to himself.

"What everyone desires..."

Gu Minxing did not hand over the treasure, and the scene ended there.

After reading it, Luo Xi started looking for comments.

"The comments say that vases are something everyone wants, representing everyone's desires. Oh, I see!"

"The cursed treasure returned to the government, and Gu Minxing chose to keep it for himself, which also means that he was also aroused by the greed of this ominous treasure... Wow, is it that profound?"

"Is the story of the cuckoo crying blood really true in history? And this treasure is real too! Is it true or false?!"

[Really! This vase is a genuine antique, worth a whopping 2 million!] 041 continued searching with Luo Xi, [This variety show seems to have a deeper meaning!]

"Sigh, I wanted to film it too," Luo Xi said, leaning back in her chair. "It's such a pity we weren't selected for the previous variety show."

【It's okay, Luo Xi!】041 has full confidence in Luo Xi, 【We'll film again in the future!】

Just then, a voice came from outside the door; it was Song Wenchen returning.

Currently, only Song Wenchen and Luo Xi are staying in the ten-person room in Group E.

Compared to when it was crowded, the already large space became quiet, which made Song Wenchen feel a kind of indescribable sadness.
