Wang Qin continued to wipe her tears, "I don't know! I really don't know why he let go!!!"
Wang Haoran looked her up and down with a suspicious gaze, "Tsk, even if he didn't kill you, did he do anything else to you?!"
Wang Qin curled up into a ball as if terrified.
Wang Qingzhao shielded Wang Qin and said, "Enough, Wang Haoran, stop speculating wildly. Do you really want another one of our classmates dead? Isn't one already enough?!"
Wang Haoran curled his lip, "Qingzhao, that's not what I ant. I just want to catch the killer, to find out who the murderer is."
After saying that, he suddenly stood up, kicked backward, raising a cloud of dust.
"Damn it, if I'd known this would happen, we should've just picked a different mountain to climb!"
Suddenly, this 'genius' seed to have another thought.
He turned his head and stared fixedly at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran felt completely bewildered by this stare.
What the hell is this guy thinking?
The next mont, he knew exactly what this guy was thinking.
He heard Wang Haoran say:
"I just rembered sothing. Jiang Ran, before we went up the mountain, you said your sixth sense was pretty accurate, that you felt danger on the mountain, and told us to pick a different one to climb."
"Then, when we t Liu Sha and that man, you said again that there was danger on the mountain or sothing."
"Jiang Ran, I now suspect that the man with the axe and the mask is actually you!!!"
Fatty, hearing this, imdiately said, "Wang Haoran, have you lost your damn mind?"
"If Jiang Ran is the killer, why would he warn us twice that there might be danger on the mountain?"
Hands on his hips, Wang Haoran sneered:
"You just don't get it, do you?"
"Think about it, what normal person would repeatedly warn others about danger on the mountain?"
"And how did he know there would be danger on this mountain? Could he see the future?"
"Hah, let tell you why! Because Jiang Ran himself IS the danger!"
"He's intentionally spreading those warnings as a preview for his own murders!!!"
Fatty was speechless, "Then tell , why would he want to kill Jiang Weixin?"
Wang Haoran spread his hands, "That's even simpler."
"Because he and Jiang Weixin have a grudge, one that goes back to their university days."
"Plus, after eting everyone this ti, he realized he's the one who's done the worst, while Jiang Weixin, who he had conflicts with, is doing the best, even running his own company. So, he beca jealous! That's why he killed Jiang Weixin!!!!"
"There is only one truth!"
"The murderer is you!!!"
One hand in his pocket, the other pointing at Jiang Ran.
Spouting that Jiang Ran was the killer, even that famous line ca out.
Besides, his pose was more textbook than anyone else's.
Anyone who didn't know better would think Wang Haoran was Conan!
Jiang Ran clapped his hands, saying, "What a brilliant analysis!"
Wang Haoran sneered, "So, you admit it?"
Jiang Ran: "Seriously, I'm not one for swearing, but ever since I t you, not only do I want to swear, I want to hit soone."
"Wang Haoran, you say I'm the killer, but have you considered that I have absolutely no opportunity to commit the cri?"
Wang Haoran was stunned.
Jiang Ran continued, "When those two encountered the white-masked man, I was visiting the ancient pagoda with Fatty and the others."
"When Jiang Weixin was killed, I was with Qingzhao looking for all of you."
"So, when exactly would I have had the ti to do it?!"
"This... this..."
Wang Haoran probably had no coback, stamring incoherently.
Jiang Ran also figured out the reason behind Wang Haoran's false accusations.
First, he held a grudge against him.
He just didn't like him.
Second, he wanted to show off in front of the won, to win their favor and get more attention.
So n really do have their brains located entirely in their 'little brother'.
As for Jiang Weixin's death, what did Jiang Ran himself feel?
Not much.
After all, before climbing the mountain, he was already ntally prepared for soone to die.
He was used to it by now.
Anyway, he had warned them twice.
They were the ones who insisted on coming up the mountain. He had his alternate personalities to clean up any ss, so he wasn't afraid.
"Alright, alright, stop wildly guessing who the killer is here. We're all university classmates. Even if there were conflicts, none were serious enough to lead to murder."
"Let's leave everything to the police when they co tomorrow."
Seeing the argunt winding down, Fatty quickly stepped in, afraid soone else would start wildly accusing people.
He didn't want the killer to remain unfound while relationships among everyone grew increasingly strained.
Wang Qingzhao then said, "This mountain is more dangerous than we imagined. After all, we don't know if that psycho who killed Jiang Weixin is still lurking around our campsite, hiding and secretly watching us."
"So, I suggest that tonight, no one sleeps alone in a tent. It's best to have multiple people per tent. Besides that, we need people to keep watch."
Everyone present agreed with this idea.
Thus, the assignnts began.
Wang Qingzhao, the Freckled Girl, and Wang Qin would share one tent.
Jiang Ran and Zhong Hui would share one tent.
Wang Haoran and Fatty would share one tent.
The short guy and the ordinary girl would share one tent.
As for the remaining two, Liu Sha and Xu Ernian, they were strangers after all.
No one was willing to share a tent with them.
Of course, Wang Haoran would have liked to share a tent with Liu Sha, but Liu Sha refused.
As for keeping watch.
Zhong Hui proactively raised his hand, volunteering to take the first watch.
Fatty then volunteered to take the second watch.
After sorting out all this ss, the ti had already reached 9:30 PM.
Qingfeng Mountain at night was even darker, pitch black.
The only conspicuous light on the entire mountain ca from Jiang Ran and the others' campsite.
Because this incident had happened,
and since it was still relatively early,
these people still sat in a circle, chatting.
The topics naturally were Jiang Weixin's death and who the killer was.
Besides that, it was about their future prospects—those of them who worked at his company—after Jiang Weixin's death.
Xu Ernian sat on the periphery of the group. His attention had been fixed on the person nad Liu Sha ever since he learned soone by that na was among them.
Especially after learning Liu Sha's background—that she wasn't part of their group—
Xu Ernian beca even more certain that Liu Sha was that No. 4.
A fellow ga participant, just like him.
So, he needed to be careful. This Liu Sha might just stab him.
As for Jiang Weixin's death, Xu Ernian had started deducing.
He initially thought it was the handiwork of one of the other ga participants.
After all, these outsiders were worth a small treasure each—a full 100,000 yuan.
But then, sothing didn't add up.
If they could kill the man, Jiang Weixin, why not just kill the woman, Wang Qin, too?
Because Wang Qin was pretty, so after having his fun, he just zipped up and ran off?
Even though Xu Ernian had been at the back of the group earlier,
he could sll the distinct scent of... reproductive experintation in the air.
But that was impossible. After having fun, killing them both would be the logical course of action.
He wouldn't show rcy.
Unless that person was soft-hearted, had a soft spot for beautiful won, or had his own principles about not killing won...
