A Favor Done, A Husband Won

Chapter 694 - 688: Sweet Extras—Husband and Wife on Variety Show 173

Shi Su’s gaze was probably on him for too long, so Jing Jihan glanced at her.The man’s eyes were light and clear without the slightest excess emotion.

Clearly calm, but indeed out of the loop.

Shi Su suddenly wondered if she was overthinking, Jing Jihan was not an actor, after all, he wouldn’t show off his acting skills in front of her.

But he had specially bought her breakfast this morning, and it was so early.

When she met the man’s gaze again, it was still calm, with a hint of doubt directed at her, as if questioning what nonsense she was thinking, because she doubted him.

True, the person in front of her was their sponsor, and any arrangement by the show would not be inappropriate for him to know in advance, even if he didn’t have the script.

Thinking this way, Shi Su withdrew her gaze and continued to listen to the director.

Mr. He picked up a megaphone and said, "Now you have ten minutes to prove your innocence. Later, staff will join you to analyze the details and evidence of the ’crime scene.’ You will also have time to search your rooms for evidence. We must find the murderer before nightfall; otherwise, if we delay the filming at the ranch and forest park tomorrow, scheduling between the program team and the venue partners will be difficult."

Everyone looked at the "corpse" lying in a pool of blood in the kitchen, and then at the director speaking seriously with a megaphone. They exchanged glances for a while.

"Just now we were all waiting by the dining table for breakfast, except for Luo Fang who suddenly ran off. The rest of us shouldn’t have had any time to commit the crime." Liu Guochun spoke up first, instantly drawing everyone into character.

"Right, we didn’t come here until we heard Luo Fang’s voice. Could it be that Luo Fang is the thief crying thief?" Hei Xulun, though a newcomer, entered the role quickly, very cooperatively turning his gaze directly to Luo Fang.

Luo Fang looked speechless, "It really wasn’t me, could everyone use their brains?"

Shi Su stood beside Jing Jihan, watching as he observed the direction of the body in the kitchen while also examining the surroundings. She stayed silent, standing by to look closely for a while.

All the kitchen utensils were arranged normally, on the cutting board were vegetables not yet fully chopped, and an open soymilk machine with various grains spilled from the bag next to it, indicating the chef was preparing to make multi-grain soy milk for everyone. However, from the scattered state of things, something must have happened.

A spare folding table was against the kitchen wall, which seemed to have been knocked over by the "corpse," lying crookedly beside it and stained with blood. Next to the table, there was also a bloodstained kitchen knife.

These were all Shi Su could see in a few short seconds.

In her ears, other participants began to formally enter their roles, making various excuses and arguments.

Especially Luo Fang, who was livid, "I have a task, but that task ended right here! The director said yesterday there was something for me today, but that was just to come to the kitchen and find the chef. Then you saw this scene. I’m cooperating with acting but that doesn’t mean I’m the murderer!"

Hao Jin rubbed his chin, "Of all the people, only Luo Fang left the table and everyone’s sight. It does sound like he’s the most suspicious, but... could it really be that simple?"
