Thus, Xu Le was naturally elevated by them.
Tan Ming walked to the fountain, and after the power outage, the spray in the center of the fountain ceased. Weeds sprouted up from the ground, reaching half a person's height. Master Ban sat among the weeds, eyes closed. When he heard someone approaching, he opened his eyes.
Tan Ming took a seat beside Master Ban and asked straightforwardly, "Is Qi Qiuluo a student in the performing arts department?"
Without hesitation, Master Ban replied, "Yes."
"Why didn’t you mention it earlier?"
"Didn’t you know?" Master Ban countered.
Tan Ming suddenly recalled that Qi Qiuluo had only deceived him and Yan Qing into believing he was a director. So, Master Ban actually didn’t know that Qi Qiuluo was lying.
Tan Ming then asked him, "What is Liu Xuanzhu's Messenger Tool?"
Master Ban glanced at Liu Xuanzhu and replied, "Enlargement Technique."
But Liu Xuanzhu had previously claimed that his Messenger Tool was the Transformation Technique. Master Ban was the only one who could see Liu Xuanzhu's Messenger Tool, so he must have known from the start. However, he hadn’t told anyone or exposed Liu Xuanzhu.
"Is there a difference between the two?" Master Ban noticed that Tan Ming seemed to be doubting him.
Tan Ming said, "There’s a significant difference." He stood up.
Master Ban pondered over his words.
Jiang Jie, sitting nearby and listening to their conversation, stood up to follow Tan Ming and quietly asked him, "Do you suspect Master Ban?"
Tan Ming paused for a moment. "A bit."
"Then is Yan Qing the culprit?"
In the message Tan Ming sent her, there was no clear indication of any issues, which is why she asked. But Shen Jianghuan instinctively trusted Tan Ming.
Tan Ming countered her question with another: "What do you think?"
Jiang Jie replied honestly, "I don’t know." In truth, she was conflicted. If it weren’t for Yan Qing, who would she vote for without feeling guilty?
Tan Ming took in her expression, and you helped me with a single sentence from the Lie Detector.
What sentence? About the murderer?
Ten hours passed quietly.
Fountain Square.
The Messengers sat in a circle.
Qi Qiuluo leaned against the edge of the pool, a blade of grass stuck in her mouth, her eyes squinting slightly.
There were hundreds of people in the square, all anxiously waiting for the messengers to reveal the murderer, everything returning to a tense calm.
After days of fear and watching one familiar classmate after another leave, they felt despair.
Tan Ming was the first to speak, "Let's vote."
"I!" Ling Xing raised his hand, bouncing on the ground for emphasis. The Master Ban lifted him into his palm.
Ling Xing said, "I suspect the chef. Last time the restaurant caught fire, he was a major suspect. This time he made the fish soup; he had the best opportunity to poison it!"
"That's nonsense! It wasn't me!" Li Jianping snapped back, clearly irritated.
He hadn't expected that Thief would still be biting at him.
But Ling Xing's accusation felt like pure slander.
"Then tell me, if it wasn't you who set the restaurant on fire last time, who did?"
Li Jianping found himself at a loss for words.
The Master Ban added, "I also suspect the chef."
Li Jianping was visibly taken aback. "Lao Ban, you..."
The Master Ban's expression was serious.
"Why?" Li Jianping asked, hurt.
He felt that while everyone could suspect him, Lao Ban shouldn’t; they had known each other for so many years—didn’t they understand each other's character?
The Master Ban's gaze flickered. "Old Li, you told me last time that the murderer might be hiding in people's subconscious."
