The room’s interior was identical to the one he had woken up in. Different from the VVIP suite, everything could be seen in one glance upon entering.
Lu Yizhou surveyed his surroundings; a porthole overlooking the darkness outside, the narrow cabinet, a set of table and chair, the door leading to the bathroom and lastly, the woman laying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
Lu Yizhou closed the door softly behind him and trudged forward. Unexpectedly, it was a face he was quite familiar with because he had observed her amid the crowd just a few hours ago.
The witness to the first guest, Liu Shi’s murder — Jenny.
Lu Yizhou furrowed his brow. His luck was as bad as ever. Of all people, he just had to enter the room of a crucial witness. He had no idea how the case had progressed as of now, but if the crew still couldn’t solve it by tomorrow and wanted to summon the witness again for another round of questioning, wouldn’t they find out that Jenny had been killed and in the end, added to the complexity of the case?
[666: *shivers* Host, this is terrible! Oh my Admin God, oh my Admin God, if you kill Jenny, the crew will definitely accuse you of silencing her to cover your crime. By then, you will implicated into Liu Shi’s murder as well!]
Lu Yizhou pinched his brows in exasperation. 666 was right. That would indeed be the worst case scenario. The only person who had witnessed Liu Shi’s murder was Jenny. Flustered, the culprit then tried to shut Jenny up to bury his crime forever in the dark of the night. All the clues would lead to Lu Yizhou. And then, he would end up being the first werewolf who was cast out by the guest. The consequence was quite frightening. It was not worth the effort.
[Let’s search for another guest.] Lu Yizhou made a decision and then swiveled around to exit the room.
There were hundreds of guests inside the labyrinth. He did not have to deal with this hot potato. He knew that he would be able to kill Jenny without leaving any trace but this world was abnormal to begin with. Who knew what kind of shenanigans it would come up to trap him? By then, it would be too late if he wanted to wash himself white.
