Chapter 1071: Clever Weiwei

In an instant, everyone shuddered with fear!

“Hurry up! Turn on the walkie-talkie and ask the shopkeeper what the password is!”

One of them was already panicking, and it was the girl who was the most timid of them all.

The other three were also starting to lose their wits, especially the boy who was holding the walkie-talkie. He was so scared that his hands were trembling, and no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t turn on the button on the walkie-talkie.

Helian Weiwei watched them and reached a hand out to block their movements. Her voice was steady, “It’s just a very ordinary recording. Why are all of you so nervous? You’re even holding the walkie-talkie upside down.”

The four of them looked at one another and didn’t say anything, but it was obvious that they were perspiring profusely because of some matter she didn’t know about.

Helian Weiwei continued, “Moreover, you don’t need to ask the shopkeeper. It’s not that difficult to enter the next level.”

As she spoke, Helian Weiwei turned on her flashlight and focused the light on the part of the ceiling beside the clothes hanging from there. A couplet was pasted there, as if it was meant to suppress evil, and the material of the ceiling next to the couplet was obviously different. “This is a secret door. Double up three score plus ten and one more? Try 141.”

The timid female graduate student immediately followed Helian Weiwei’s instructions and entered the password. With a click, the safe’s lock was opened!

The female graduate student’s eyes widened as she looked at Helian Weiwei in shock. “You’re so smart!”

Xiao Jingtian also glanced at Helian Weiwei. “How did you guess it? Back then, Zhang Heng didn’t solve it so quickly.”

“Three score plus ten equals 70. Double up means to multiply the number by two. 70 x 2 = 140. ‘One more’ means plus one. So the final answer is 141,” Helian Weiwei said as she used her flashlight to illuminate the safe.

Xiao Jingtian was not as scared anymore, but she suddenly remembered something. “Where’s your assistant? Why aren’t you worried about him at all?”

Helian Weiwei turned to glance at her and called out towards the darkness. “Jue.”

After a while, a tall and slender figure walked out from the darkness. There was a faint smile on his lips. “I’m here.”

“Good.” Helian Weiwei nodded and went back to studying that safe.

Xiao Jingtian didn’t say anything else.

Helian Weiwei’s attention was very focused. After all, if Baili Jiajue came in alone without any of her qi to cover his demonic qi, then his demonic qi was going to affect the qi inside this room.

In other words, even if there were dead spirits originally here, they should have been scared away by Baili Jiajue by now.

That’s why Helian Weiwei wasn’t worried that any of these four students would be possessed by a ghost.

In that case, she could just focus on the clues.

That’s right.

Helian Weiwei already had a strange feeling right from the start.

She suspected that this case did not involve any vengeful ghost at all.

The logic was very simple. If there was really a ghost going around killing people in here, then this place must be a place that gathered resentful energy easily, which would cause a vengeful ghost to kill.

However, after Helian Weiwei arrived, she discovered that this escape room did not attract resentful energy like other places did.

Although the place had been furnished very realistically, the shopkeeper knew a lot about fengshui, so he had been very careful about the way each room was set up.

He even knew how to use pure Yang energy to shine into the room sufficiently to rid the room of any resentful energy.

But of course, no matter how powerful the fengshui formation was, there would always been vengeful ghosts trying to exact revenge on the living.

So she could eliminate the first possibility and move on to the second, which was that this vengeful ghost was targeting this group of people.

But the person whom the ghost killed would have become a vengeful ghost and remained within this particular room.

As long as there was a remnant of a vengeful spirit, some supernatural events were bound to occur.

However, the shopkeeper had not been affected by any resentful energy all this while.

Helian Weiwei had observed the shopkeeper’s facial features the moment she entered and didn’t find anything unusual.

Moreover, if there was really anything to be afraid of here, this shopkeeper would have sold this building away immediately.

The fact that he did not immediately move away meant that other than that murder case, nothing else unusual had happened here.

In other words, the person who got killed wasn’t killed by a ghost.

However, it was also clear that this death wasn’t an accident either.

There was only one possibility left. A human had murdered another human.

In other words, the case in front of her was a murder in a locked room.

Helian Weiwei glanced at the female graduate student and the other three people who were still trembling.

Logically speaking, if it was a murder case in an escape room, the biggest suspect would have been the shopkeeper.

After all, he was the one who was most familiar with this escape room. Killing someone here would be a piece of cake to him.

However, before coming here, Helian Weiwei had already asked Monkey to investigate. There was nothing suspicious about this shopkeeper, and he didn’t know these students at all.

In other words, the shopkeeper had no motive to kill anyone.

Helian Weiwei only squatted down for a few seconds, but her thoughts never stopped.

She didn’t have enough evidence yet.

In any murder case within a locked room, any important evidence would remain in the room itself.

Besides the police, nobody else had been allowed into this room again, which meant that the crime scene had been preserved almost perfectly.

This was also one of the reasons why Helian Weiwei excluded the shopkeeper as the murderer. If the shopkeeper was the murderer, he could have completely demolished or renovated this place after the investigation was over, but he didn’t do any of these things.

She had no choice but to continue looking for clues.

They had to keep playing until they reached the part where their dead classmate was murdered.

Helian Weiwei quickly made this decision and shone the flashlight into the safe. “What is this? A photo?”

“That’s the backstory of this room,” said the boy holding the walkie-talkie. “The story is about how six friends agreed to go on an adventure together in Sobbing House, but because of the cowardice of the other five, one of them ended up dying in this house. Many years later, when the surviving five enter Sobbing House again, they must find the sins they committed back then and truly repent, then only will they be allowed to pass through.”

Helian Weiwei’s eyes flashed. “How do you know so much?”

“When the five of us came to play, we all read the introduction online,” he replied.

Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows. “All five of you read it?”

“Yes, we did.” The boy was very puzzled. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Helian Weiwei’s fingers brushed past her face and she lowered her eyes slightly. In other words, they were not completely unfamiliar with this escape room.

If the murderer could find out how to get through the stages in advance through what he read online, and could prepare himself better than the others, he could definitely use any of the hidden catches in the room to kill someone.

Of course, that was only her assumption.

But if her assumption was correct...

Then one of these four students was definitely the murderer!
