Chapter 1681: Everyone Was a Suspect

Ning Shu silently watched as the uncle, wearing his gloves, reached his hands into the corpses gut and cut open the stomach to examine it carefully.

Ning Shu didnt feel well. She silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Who do you think the killer is? asked Zhang Jiasen who was standing next to Ning Shu.

Everyone is a suspect, Ning Shu said indifferently.

Everyone who shared a room with the victim, including Ning Shu and Mei Ziqing, were suspects. The original host could have killed the victim before Ning Shu entered this body.

Or it could have been several people in the room who killed the victim together. It could also be the owner of the paintbrush, Pan Chen.

There were a million possibilities anyways, so it was impossible to be sure.

Why did the president of the club, Fan Junyang, choose a remote place like this? When Ning Shu looked out the window, there were only a few families around. It was very quiet, except for the occasional barking from the two dogs.

There wasnt a soul in sight.

Ning Shu just couldnt figure out why the first person to die was the person sleeping next to her.

In each loop, the deaths were different and they happened in a different order. There was no pattern to it at all.

Everyone in the traditional painting club was a suspect. Everyone was also in danger.

Zhang Jiasen narrowed his eyes. Is it possible that it was a supernatural force?

It shouldnt be a supernatural power. Mei Ziqing shook her head, I have a psychic const.i.tution and theres no strange magnetic field around.

Ning Shu looked at Mei Ziqing with some surprise. She didnt expect for Mei Ziqing to have an ability like this.

Ning Shu pondered for a moment. She then pinched Zhang Jiasens hand until it bled, staining her fingers with blood. She recited an incantation and applied the blood to her eyelids.

Tch, this body of yours isnt a virgin, she told Zhan Jiasen. Her expression was disgusted. She couldnt see anything as a result.

Ning Shu wiped the blood from her eyelids.

It is perfectly normal around here. These deaths are man-made, the uncle said bluntly. Throw the body out.

The uncle took off his gloves and tossed them over the corpse. He then grabbed the antiseptic spray and sprayed his hands in a frenzy.

Whats going on here? An old woman came out of the room next to the living room. Her body was crooked. Her face was covered with spots from old age and her hair was white as snow.

Next to her stood a girl who was around seventeen years old. The girl was holding on to the corner of the old womans coat. She was wearing a thick cotton coat and had very strange eyes. Her dark pupils were very small and were surrounded by a grayish-white color. Her eyes looked like they were covered by a shadow.

This, this The old woman stumbled in shock when she saw the body on the table with its innards exposed. What are you doing!? Leave. You arent welcome here. The old woman looked fl.u.s.tered.

Grandma, whats wrong? The girl tugged tightly at the old womans clothes.

How could you kill someone in my house? Go away! You will be punished for this. The old woman pointed her cane straight at them.

Granny, we didnt kill this girl, advanced task-taker Lu Shanshan said mildly.

I dont care. You cant stay in my house anymore. The old woman waved her hands dismissively, looking determined.

Lu Shanshan frowned. She turned towards the blind girl and said, Little sister, there is no way we can leave now when it is snowing so hard. Please let us stay here. We really didnt kill this person.

The girl tugged at her grandmothers clothes. Grandma, let them stay here. Weve never had so many people here before.

Girl, you didnt see what they were doing. The old woman looked anxious.

Well pay five times as much to stay, Lu Shanshan said.

Grandma, with this much money I can go to the hospital for my eyes, the girl said excitedly.

The old woman sighed but didnt say anything.

Lu Shanshan made a victory sign towards the school doctor uncle, who had an indifferent expression. He stared at his hands to make sure not even a speck of dirt stayed under his nails.

Ning Shu carefully observed this pair of grandmother and granddaughter. They were the owners of this house. She heard that the girl had an eye disease and was born blind. Her parents had gone out to work and hadnt returned for many years.
