He destroyed the information, and as the scope of Killer Clue expanded, anyone could potentially be the murderer, making it no longer necessary. The reason for having Zhang Liu publicly predict who took the Travel Card was because Tan Ming wanted to know if Zhang Liu's predictions were credible.
Among Zhang Liu, Xiao Wang Yi, and Jiang Jie, one of them must be problematic. Otherwise, Zhang Liu and Jiang Jie wouldn't have drawn two different conclusions. Zhang Liu quickly grasped the implication behind his words. He had always admired and respected Tan Ming, yet he found him inscrutable. It was just like after that incident years ago when he expected to face Tan Ming's questioning, even a relentless pursuit of the truth, but instead, Tan Ming remained silent. Not even a single reproach was uttered.
It was precisely because of this silence that he felt guilty now. However, if it were up to him, he would never dare to gamble with such a precious opportunity to predict the murderer without absolute certainty; he lacked the boldness that Tan Ming possessed.
Then why did you take He Zhengwei's card? This was his final question.
"It’s useful," Tan Ming replied succinctly, lifting his gaze. "In fact, from the moment I first saw He Zhengwei, I saw through his identity and realized I could use his tools. It’s that simple."
Like everyone else, Tan Ming wanted to survive, so he would utilize every available resource around him.
"Other users can also substitute their tools?" Zhang Liu asked in confusion.
If that were the case, then if another user's card accidentally fell into the hands of the murderer, it would be a significant blow to them.
"Fortunately not," Tan Ming firmly assured him.
"Then why can you use it? Is it because of your tools?"
Tan Ming's expression grew serious as he replied, "I can't tell you that right now."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Liu calmed his turbulent emotions and resolutely chose to trust him. "Alright."
He decided to temporarily set aside the matter of the Travel Card. Organizing his thoughts, he concluded that his last prediction had been correct: was Xiao Wang Yi indeed the murderer?
If Xiao Wang Yi is the murderer, then what about Yan Qing? Are they both murderers? He predicted for the first time that the werewolf was the killer. If Xiao Wang Yi is the murderer, then Yan Qing must also be one.
Whether Yan Qing is a murderer will only be known when we can vote for him, Tan Ming said meaningfully.
Is Yan Qing a murderer? Perhaps Yan Qing himself doesn’t even know if he is a murderer. He has probably questioned and doubted himself countless times.
We can only wait, Zhang Liu said thoughtfully.
Currently, Yan Qing is in the form of a werewolf and cannot be voted out. We must first vote out Xiao Wang Yi and then find a way to restore Yan Qing.
Maybe we won’t make it to that point, Tan Ming said.
Why?
Because there’s another scenario we’ve never considered: if our mission is to vote out the murderer, what about the other murderer among us? The murderer, as our opposition, must be completely opposite to us. While we are eager to vote him out, he will undoubtedly be desperate to eliminate all of us.
Zhang Liu’s pupils constricted sharply; he hadn’t thought deeply about this point. So what do we do now?
Of course, this is just my speculation. Tan Ming didn’t want this guess to hold true because it would lead to more trouble.
Just then,
It’s on fire! Jiang Jie shouted loudly while frantically banging on the office door.
Tan Ming and Zhang Liu exchanged glances.
They hurriedly left the office and saw thick smoke billowing from the back kitchen, spreading rapidly around them but unable to dissipate. The entire restaurant was filled with a strong smell of smoke.
