Chapter 117: Top-Tier Mind Games
First floor.
The chubby otaku and the Old Man sat on the sofa, smoking in stifling silence. According to their deductions, the Little Girl's attempt to execute a Judgment on Lin Jiabei had a high probability of success.
This involved the classification of targets for the Deceiver's Tongue, which were divided into two categories: participants of the Deceiver's Tongue, and non-participants.
Participants of the Deceiver's Tongue: Lin Jiabei, the female police officer, and the middle-aged police officer.
Lin Jiabei knew that a Deceiver's Tongue was a lie masquerading as the truth. She also knew that the female police officer was not a cop at all, yet she used the term "female police officer" before the Lie Breaking occurred.
Therefore, when the Lie Breaking happened, Lin Jiabei would be judged as a past liar.
Non-participants of the Deceiver's Tongue: the Old Man, the Little Girl, the chubby otaku, Chen Ran, and the muscular youth.
Initially, they were unaware that a Deceiver's Tongue was at play. This meant that calling her a "female police officer" before the Lie Breaking was not considered a lie, and even after the Lie Breaking, they would not be considered past liars either.
"Just now, in the third version of the story Lin Jiabei told, she repeatedly mentioned the words 'female police officer'. Now that we have investigated the scene, we can basically confirm that Lin Jiabei is the real cop. The Deceiver's Tongue has been broken, so there is a high probability that Lin Jiabei lied."
