After being reborn, I became a top-tier celebrity by resetting my game history.

The variety show recording began, and Gu Xing and Shu Yu arrived late.

Su Qi didn't pay much attention and sat down on the sofa in the middle as required by the crew.

Gu Xing sat down next to her, but what Su Qi found strange was that in just a few minutes, Gu Xing seemed like a completely different person.

His eyes were devoid of light, and he didn't even interact with Su Qi. He was completely different from the actor Gu who had just offered his help.

The host explained the rules: "Now the criminal gang and the detective team will work together to find the truth at the scene."

"Please note that the criminal gang must not reveal their true identities, nor can they expose themselves as moles to the detective team."

"The criminal gang needs to sabotage the detective team's investigation, including fabricating false evidence, obfuscating the truth, and even kidnapping members of the detective team who are trying to find the truth."

"Now that the precautions have been read, everyone must complete our game while paying attention to safety."

"Let's set off once everyone understands the rules!"

Both groups set off together to the pre-arranged crime scene.

It's a three-story apartment building. Once you enter the building, there's a room at each stairwell.

Walking into the room, there are three more large doors; pushing them open leads to different rooms and a hall.

"Shall we split up and go our separate ways?" Li Yancheng suggested first.

Everyone raised their hands in agreement.

“But…” Xiang Zhouzhou said softly, “We don’t know what the situation is yet. It would be too difficult to split up, and what if there are safety issues?”

"What security issues could there be? It's just filming a variety show, don't be too sensitive." Shu Yu patted the tip of her nose and disdainfully chose a door to walk through.

Xiang Zhouzhou didn't want to say anything more, thinking it was just a game among celebrities, but in the end she agreed to Li Yancheng's suggestion to split up.

Although everyone knew which group each of the eight people belonged to, reconstructing the entire crime and uncovering the truth was still no easy task.

Moreover, the criminal gang has a script, which allows them to conceal the truth in advance.

Su Qi found a room by herself, and upon entering, she found a note.

"What did the production crew say was the cause of the incident?"

Fortunately, Feifei managed to record it.

Master, you really never listen to the rules.

The incident stemmed from a murder at this agency. There were four suspects—the four artists from the criminal gang.

The goal is to piece together the truth found in this agency to identify the real murderer.

However, the script provided by the production team clearly states that after piecing together the clues, the correct conclusion should be that Gu Xing is the real murderer.

Su Qi paused, then said, "Really?"

"In other words, if any of the four members of our detective team finds the truth first, that person might be silenced by him?"

This "silencing" wasn't a real act of killing anyone; it was just part of the game's presentation for entertainment purposes, and there were no safety issues involved.

Su Qi thought for a moment and said, "This episode of the variety show is quite interesting."

In short, if the host wants to shine in this variety show and boost their popularity, they must seize the initiative!

First, find evidence to piece together the truth, but don't expose it to avoid being silenced.

Su Qi nodded: "Okay, I understand."

The system has saved this node for you.

"If we save the game like this, there won't be any problems. We can always revert to a previous save file anyway."

Feifei was speechless: "Although, you still can't let your guard down."

"I saved a lot of files before, very carefully, but I didn't use any of them. Oh well, it's okay."

Feifei: [That's strange, why do I always feel a chill down my back?]

Su Qi opened the note and found a time and place written on it.

The location is room 318 in the apartment.

Su Qi turned around and went to room 318. She pushed the door open and entered, only to find that the room was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

She fumbled around but couldn't find the light switch, so she had to use her phone's flashlight to illuminate the room.

The room lit up, and the door was closed by the wind, but not completely.

Feifei felt someone was outside the door, so she squeezed herself through the crack in the door, but she didn't see anyone.

[Master, be careful! It feels like the suspect might make a move at any moment...]

Before Feifei could finish speaking, she heard Su Qi say something.

"Blood……"

No, it's red paint.

Su Qi paused for a moment: "It's all in the game, so it definitely can't be real blood."

[That makes sense. So this is... Ah, I see, Master, this room is the crime scene.]

Su Qi quickly wrote down the information on a banknote. Just as she finished writing, the filming crew's camera started rolling, directly above the room.

The host asked, "How is Ms. Su doing?"

"It's alright, I found some things."

"You scared me to death! Your teammate said they couldn't contact you. Please check if your walkie-talkie is on."

Su Qi looked down at the walkie-talkie: "Oh, sorry, it's not turned on."

"Ms. Su, please keep your walkie-talkie on at all times. Firstly, it will allow you to contact your teammates and exchange clues in a timely manner, and secondly, it will allow our director to monitor the situation in case of any problems."

"Ok."

The camera went out, and Su Qi muttered to himself, wondering why everyone was being so cautious. It was just a game, what big problems could possibly arise?

You can't exactly stab someone in front of a million viewers, can you?

Following the clues left in the room, Su Qi planned to head to the next location.

Suddenly, Xiang Zhouzhou's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Su, Su Qi, um, I found some clues, could you come to 209 to find me first?"

"Mm." Su Qi nodded.

The man hiding in the shadows behind the door had no chance to make a move. After Su Qi left, a woman's voice suddenly rang out: "How boring, so timid and cowardly."

"Even if you die, it doesn't matter. Don't worry, the person in charge of the variety show will help cover it up. In short, it won't be your fault."

"But..." the man hesitated.

"But what? Once she comes out of 209, everyone will be on the third floor. That will be the perfect opportunity for you to get your revenge."

Su Qi walked to room 209 and waved to Zhouzhou: "Su Qi, look what I found!"

“A knife with writing on it, and… a wooden plank that had been used to transport the victim.”

Su Qi reached out to look, and the red paint on it smelled the same as the paint she had found in 318.

Su Qi felt reassured and picked up the knife from Xiang Zhouzhou's hand to look at the words on it.

The character “顾”.

The clues are right here. By piecing together the clues she and Xiang Zhouzhou found, they can piece together the whole truth.

But Su Qi didn't speak, only smiled and asked, "Where are they, Shu Yu and Shen Chaohuai..."

"The evidence they found, when put together, points to someone else, and I'm not sure who the real suspect is."

But soon, Shen Chaohuai's voice came through Zhouzhou's walkie-talkie: "The trail has gone cold. Currently, the only leads I haven't been able to find are those of Gu Xing and He Yizhen."

Su Qi frowned, which meant that they had not found the truth.

Su Qi looked at the truth recorded in the notebook, walked out of room 209, and parted ways with Xiang Zhouzhou.

[Now, the master is the only one who possesses the truth, so you must protect yourself.]

Su Qi understood perfectly. She didn't say anything, not even to Xiang Zhouzhou and Shen Chaohuai, presumably because that would ensure her safety.

However, when she reached a dead end in the corridor, she suddenly realized that there were no cameras used for recording variety shows there.
