A Favor Done, A Husband Won

Chapter 698 - 692: Sweet Extra—Married Couple Variety Show 177

Wei Sinan paused, looking at her, "You’re suspecting me?"Ami quickly waved her hand, "No, but now everyone except myself seems suspicious. We need to pay attention to all the clues since we’re solving a case."

Wei Sinan chuckled and rubbed her head, "Stop overthinking. Let’s go back to the room and eat something. Your stomach has been growling for ages, even if you didn’t notice, it was noisy for me."

"Oh..."

The cameraman followed all the guests into the rooms to film and collect evidence. Before they could go to their respective rooms to check things out, everyone’s phones suddenly buzzed with a group message alert.

Upon checking, it was Mr. He in the group chat, tagging everyone and asking them to come downstairs for a meeting right away.

Shi Su came out of the room and saw that the other guests were already waiting in the hallway. It seemed that the evidence collection phase had different presentations in each room. Since the show hadn’t aired, and they hadn’t visited other rooms, they didn’t know the process. Yet, every person’s face seemed deep in thought.

Even Shi Su wore a slightly uncertain expression.

She didn’t recall tidying up the bed and bathroom before she and Jing Jihan left the room, and it was too early for hotel housekeeping to have cleaned up.

But after entering the room, she found everything she needed to tidy up was neatly placed on the couch and table, and the bathroom was so clean it looked like no one had used it at all. The bed was perfectly made.

She initially thought it was an arrangement by the production team to facilitate the evidence collection, wondering if Jing Jihan had been informed beforehand. After all, even though it was a show recording, it involved personal privacy. The crew wouldn’t be careless to such an extent.

However, Jing Jihan said the director hadn’t disclosed anything about it to him in advance.

That made it even more bizarre.

While filming requires effects and arrangements, sending someone into the rooms to clean without the occupants’ knowledge, leaving no trace, and making it look mysterious seemed to overstep the normal contractual boundaries.

There wasn’t much to be found in the room, only the suitcases and backpacks they had brought when they checked in.

After leaving the room and seeing the varied expressions of the others, Shi Su realized the director of this episode was serious. Everyone had already assumed their roles due to various questions.

Perhaps the murderer had already stepped into their role early on.

Even now, taking the elevator down, there wasn’t as much chatter as before. The cheerful atmosphere had disappeared, and after exchanging glances, no one spoke. In everyone’s eyes, it seemed the others had a high chance of being the "murderer."

Upon reaching the ground floor, a projector lay on the bar next to Mr. He. As he turned it on, he asked, "Did anyone make any ’findings’ in the rooms?"

Fang Lihua hesitated for a moment before saying, "Not much, but I don’t recall having a cutting board and a ceramic kitchen knife in my suitcase. Those aren’t ours."

At this moment, Liu Guochun said, "When we were treasure hunting on Mermaid Immortal Island, we found several sets of kitchenware together. Didn’t you say you were afraid of facing cooking difficulties in later episodes? I just wrapped the cleaned cutting board and packed it in the suitcase."
