Chapter 98

Qi Xia raised her head in confusion, and the person currently telling the story had become Officer Li.

"I am Li Shangwu, from Inner Mongolia, and I am a detective," Officer Li said calmly. "Before I came here, I was staking out a fraudster."

"But I made a mistake. I had waited for that person, but we ended up wrestling during the earthquake."

"He knocked me out, and I ended up here."

The long story was now reduced to just three sentences.

Everyone's stories were not much different, but Officer Li was acting very unusually at this moment.

Fortunately, only Qi Xia remembered what had happened before.

"Detective?" Xiao Ran exclaimed, "You're a police officer, why aren't you trying to save us?"

"Because I..." Officer Li was slightly stunned, "to be honest, I don't know how to get everyone out. If there were a way, I would certainly do my best."

"What kind of nonsense is this?" Xiao Ran asked, puzzled, "You're a police officer, you should investigate and find a way! Do you just say 'I don't know who the killer is' every time there's a murder case and then close the case?"

"That's different..." Officer Li shook his head, "I can do very little now. I can only try to keep everyone alive..."

Xiao Ran became more and more agitated, pointing directly at the man-sheep: "Isn't he the 'killer'? Just arrest him!!"

"Enough." Qi Xia couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted, "Always shouting, are you not tired of it?"

Qiao Jiajin also nodded: "Is a cop not a person? We can't move now, and the power of life and death is in the hands of the man-sheep. What can the cop use to arrest him?"

"You...!" Xiao Ran wanted to argue more but suddenly saw Qi Xia's cold eyes and glanced at Qiao Jiajin's muscular arms, instantly realizing that these two were not to be trifled with.

She understood that

people with such eyes were different from police officers. She could shout at the police, but the police would never speak rudely to her. However, she couldn't provoke these two men.

"I... I'm just too scared," Xiao Ran said, looking aggrieved and shaking her head. "Sigh, maybe I just trusted the police too much."

"Being sarcastic and bullying the weak." Qi Xia snorted, "Are you the 'Liar' trying to sow discord?"

"How could I be?!" Xiao Ran shouted, "How could I be the 'Liar'? Don't slander me!"

"Oh?" Qi Xia nodded, "If you're not the 'Liar', what does your card say?"

"It says..."

Xiao Ran was about to blurt it out but suddenly froze.

The man-sheep had never mentioned what the other identity cards said, only that if you drew the 'Liar' card, you had to lie.

To clear her suspicion, she had to reveal her identity to everyone.

But what was the other identity?

"Truth-teller"?

"Ordinary person"?

"Participant"?

Or a blank card?

Xiao Ran felt her blood run cold, and she was terrified.

The young man in front of her was too smart, and with just one sentence, he had put her in an inescapable situation.

A few people also looked at Xiao Ran in confusion.

Yes, if they started to suspect that Xiao Ran was the

"Liar", the situation would become complicated.

According to the known rules, there was "only one Liar" on the scene, and everyone thought that person was themselves, so theoretically, there couldn't be another Liar.

So they were now in a dilemma, wondering if there could be "multiple Liars".

"Why should I tell you?" Xiao Ran, seeing the situation was not good, decided to take a desperate risk and argued, "What if you are the 'Liar' and are just trying to get the answer from me?"

Qi Xia nodded: "That makes sense. In that case, let's make a bet."

"A bet...?"

"Exactly. I'll count down 'three, two, one', and you and I will both shout out what our cards say. Let the others decide who is lying." Qi Xia was determined to deal with Xiao Ran, as a troublemaker had no place here.

"This..." Xiao Ran was clearly hesitant.

Qi Xia inwardly sneered. If this was really a game with "only one Liar", she was doomed.

Because no one in the room knew what the other identity was. As long as Qi Xia confidently stated an identity, she would win.

"Three."

"Two."

Qi Xia began to count down with a cold expression.

Just as she was about to say "one", Doctor Zhao stepped in to mediate: "Ah, forget it, forget it..."

Qi Xia turned to look at him.

"Brother, we can't be hard on a woman. I don't think either of you is the 'Liar'. Let's vote after everyone has told their stories," Doctor Zhao said with a smile.

Qi Xia, of course, couldn't convict Xiao Ran as the "Liar" here, as the true answer was yet to be revealed.

The game "After the Rain" required the cooperation of nine people, and Xiao Ran couldn't die, so she agreed to Doctor Zhao's request.

"Fine." Qi Xia nodded, "As long as that woman doesn't point fingers at others, I have no objections."

"I didn't point fingers..." Xiao Ran pouted, looking pitiful, "I'm just too scared."

"Don't be afraid, I believe you," Doctor Zhao said with a smile.

After Officer Li finished his story, it was Lin Ping's turn.

She told her story of being on the 26th floor during the earthquake.

Finally, it was Qi Xia's turn.

Qi Xia also recounted her story in full.

When she finished, she couldn't help but marvel at how "time" was such a strange thing.

Although she knew everything that had happened before, when she told the story for the second time, it was quite different from the first.

Including the grammar, wording, and narrative order.

But looking at the others, except for Officer Li, they clearly didn't know what had happened before, yet their stories were exactly the same as the last time.

So, who was right, and who was wrong?

After Qi Xia finished her story, the man-sheep announced a 20-minute free discussion period.

Qi Xia also asked the man-sheep for another blank piece of paper and wrote down the formula she had written before, word for word.

The next events unfolded almost naturally.

Qi Xia led everyone to point the finger at the "man-sheep", and the "man-sheep", to everyone's surprise, shot himself again.
