After my mother read my mind, my whole family rebelled

Chapter 209 No One Lies

"I think it should be my turn this time." Xia Xiaoyan's expression was unusually cold, and she took the initiative to speak.

"Everyone, don't you think this mission is very cruel?"

There was a chilling calmness in Xia Xiaoyan's voice, and only Xia Xiaoxian could hear some compassion in her words.

It turns out that Xia Xiaoyan's true character is not the heartless second lady of Prince Ning's Mansion who only likes to dress up in Xia Xiaoxian's eyes.

really interesting.

Why do almost every one of them have several completely different faces?

"No matter who of us finally completes the mission and wins the right to live, it is actually 'indirect murder'!"

Xia Xiaoyan's face was cold, and she folded her arms, "I'm not saying this to get you to stand with me, I'm just speaking from my heart!"

Perhaps Xia Xiaoyan without the mask is the one Xia Xiaoxian truly likes.

When Xia Xiaoxian looked at her, there was a bit more pity in her eyes.

"My name is Xiaoyan, and I'm the owner of the Lichunlou that each of you has mentioned before... well, the owner of the Lichunlou."

"Boss? That's a nicer way of saying it." Li Jiujiang couldn't help but sneered, "Usually we call them madams, but a young madam like you is really unexpected!"

"Lichunlou was truly established by me with real money. If not the owner, what else could it be?"

Xia Xiaoyan glanced at Li Jiujiang coldly from the corner of her eye. "Originally, I made an appointment with the embroiderer and asked her to come to Lichun Tower. I want to pay her for this month's embroidery work."

"Although the money was not much, I knew it was enough for the embroiderer's food for a month. So, when I heard the shopkeeper say that the embroiderer was coming, I asked him to tell her to wait for me at the old place on the second floor while I went to get the money."

"Unexpectedly, when I went to my own place upstairs to get the money, I found that the money I had put away had been completely stolen!"

"That's two hundred thousand taels, all my wealth!"

Xia Xiaoyan's tone suddenly became higher, and she continued: "I was panicking and was about to report to the police. However, as soon as I walked out of the room, I felt someone knock me unconscious from behind with a stick... and then I ended up here!"

"As for the rest, I can't remember it for now."

There didn't seem to be any flaws in Xia Xiaoyan's words, but unlike the people from Jiangsu before, Xia Xiaoyan came here because she was attacked.

The others all came here by accident.

Everyone had a confused look on their face.

It seemed like everyone was telling the truth, but it also seemed like everyone was lying.

After another period of silence, everyone focused their attention on Xia Linan.

"Is it my turn?" Xia Linan's fat face was slightly flushed, probably because of nervousness.

"Go ahead." The man in the flying fish suit suddenly spoke coldly, making everyone's heart tighten at the same time.

Just now everyone was immersed in suspicion of each other and even forgot that this was a life-and-death mission.

"Before I tell you my story, can I ask you some questions about your stories?" Xia Lin'an took out a silk handkerchief from his bosom and gently pressed it on his forehead. Then he said in a hurried voice, "Ms. Mingbao, the top performer in Lichunlou was hired by a patron to be carried out to an appointment in a sedan chair carried by eight men, right?"

Zhang Mingbao nodded after hearing this.

"The Lichunlou here is in Xijing, right?"

Everyone nodded together.

Xia Linan turned to Li Jiujiang and said, "Jiujiang, the famous 'flying on the grass' in Jianghu, accidentally knocked down the sign of Lichunlou while evading the pursuit of the constables, and the Lichunlou here is in Yanjing!"

He once again pressed his forehead with the handkerchief, as if asking everyone, "Am I right?"

Everyone nodded, even the man in the flying fish suit couldn't help but nod.

"Ms. Mingyu is an embroiderer employed by Lichunlou, and the Lichunlou here is actually in Beilin."

"Chong Wen is a doctor who runs a clinic next to Lichun Tower. The Lichun Tower here is in Qingzhou."

"Chongde and Ping'an were both police officers and tribute students in Kyoto. Ping'an was passing by Lichun Tower when he was hit by an unknown object; and Chongde did not explain why..."

When Xia Linan said this, he looked at Xia Chongde with eyes full of suspicion.

"Before I could even say anything, I was chasing a thief that day. When I was about to capture him, the thief took advantage of my unpreparedness and pushed me down from Lichun Tower!"

Xia Chongde said: "Don't mislead them. I am not hiding anything on purpose. You should quickly tell me who you are and what happened before you came here."

Xia Linan smiled slightly, "My name is Linan. That day, I invited my classmates and friends to a banquet, so I hired a top-notch girl from Lichunlou to play and sing for us."

"It just so happened that I also hired a sedan chair with eight bearers to carry the girl that day, but after waiting for a long time, neither the girl nor her classmate arrived on time."

"I was about to leave the restaurant and go to Lichunlou. As soon as I walked out of the door, my foot slipped..."

"I don't need to tell you what happened later, but you can probably guess it." Xia Linan pressed his forehead with the handkerchief for the third time.

At first, everyone listened to Xia Linan organizing his thoughts, as if he had just discovered something suspicious, but then they were interrupted by Xia Linan's story which raised more questions.

Just as everyone was lost in thought, the man in the flying fish suit gestured to Xia Xiaoxian, "It's your turn, the last of the nine!"

Xia Xiaoxian looked up and saw that everyone around her was looking at her strangely.

My relatives and friends are here.

At this moment, they were participating in a realistic murder scenario, and their memories were temporarily deleted, so that they all became the most familiar strangers at this moment.

In this game, everyone has thrown away all masks, and their every move and gesture shows their true selves.

Xia Xiaoyan was frighteningly calm and rational to the point that Xia Xiaoxian felt she was completely unfamiliar with her.

Xia Linan is a thoughtful person, but he constantly misleads others with his body language, making people always think he is a little silly.

Although Xia Ping'an is the smallest difference from his character outside the game, his inner strength is completely beyond Xia Xiaoxian's expectations.

Xia Yongan didn't have a chance to show off at all, so he just lay on the table and the game was over.

......

Xu Yunxuan arranged this "storybook killing" for a purpose.

Could it be...

"Hey, say something. Are you scared?" Xia Chongde stretched out his hand and patted Xia Xiaoxian's shoulder hard.

Only then did she realize that the game was not over and she was still in it.
