Chapter 254: The Truth
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sure enough, it was a box of mifepristone.
Bai Lin opened the box. There was only one pill left. It seemed that the girl had indeed taken the abortion pill and wanted to abort the child.
Yan Ruo and Bai Lin had obtained the important prop, but the other side was already in an uproar.
Zheng You concluded the truth and the ending after a short deduction, but
Zhou Guang not only disagreed with her deduction, he insisted on waiting for
Bai Lin to come back before submitting the deduction to the production team.
“Youyou’s the most professional among us. She’s already figured out the key problem. Why can’t we leave?!” Jing Shan stood in front of Zheng You protectively, as if he would punch anyone who dared to say no to Zheng You.
“Professional?” Li Xuan sneered at the side. “If she’s so professional, why did she get punished so many times? Why didn’t I see her make any great contributions?
Toward people he did not like and people who did not give his friends a good att.i.tude, Li Xuan had always been straightforward and unforgiving.
Fortunately, Bai Lin and Yan Ruo returned very quickly.
“How’s your deduction coming along?” Bai Lin asked.
“Xiao Lin, Zheng You said that she’s done deducing from all the clues and she’s going to submit the conclusion to the production team. Did you find anything upstairs?” Zhou Guang came up and gave a simple explanation of the situation, but he did not mention that they had a dispute.
Zheng You was very proud. Although many of the later parts were not in her script, there was no difference between the main plot and the final truth. She could still be the one to solve the problem.
“From the current clues and puzzle pictures, it’s easy to find out the cause of death. It was a ma.s.sive bleeding caused by a fall. Although she ate the poison, only half of it wasn’t enough to kill her. Plus, the time of the poison coming into effect didn’t match the time of her death, so the murderer could only be the person who made her fall, which was her mother,” Zheng You told the truth frankly.
“Generally speaking, a fall wouldn’t cause serious bleeding, unless it was a fall from a high place or a hit on an important organ. The victim was bleeding so much because she was pregnant. Her mother was the direct murderer, but she had no motive, so it was an accidental death,” Bai Lin placed the box of abortion drug on the table and spoke slowly.
No one spoke, so Bai Lin continued. “The mother didn’t want to kill the mother. The first mother was the teacher, and the second mother referred to the pregnant girl. She originally just wanted to give the girl the abortion drug so that the girl wouldn’t be burdened at that age. The fall down the stairs was an accident. When the mother found out that her daughter fell down the stairs, she wanted to find the doctor to help her, but she accidentally found out that the doctor was the culprit behind her daughter’s case.”
“Then, should we still pick the doctor as the murderer?” Zhou Guang asked.
“No way! The murderer must be the teacher!” Zheng You immediately retorted with certainty.
“Yes, the murderer still has to be the teacher. She’s the murderer,” Bai Lin sighed, “But she’s also a victim.
“The girl was stubborn and thought that the doctor was her true love. She voluntarily took half of the poison and wanted to die with the doctor. Yet the doctor only wanted to marry the princ.i.p.al’s daughter to cheat her of her money. How’d he willingly suicide? He then lied to the girl’s mother and made her give the girl the abortion drug. The mother and daughter had an argument which eventually led to the tragedy.”
Bai Lin finished the story. Her voice was originally a clear and young tone of a girl, but it now sounded like it was filled with a permanent sadness.
[Lin-jie’s so kind. She seems to be completely immersed in the game when she plays.]
[And she really cares if every character in the game is treated fairly.]
[So the name of this chapter is “The Sullied White Garb” because the doctor in the white robe is the real culprit behind the tragedy.]
[Lin-jie’s also a good storyteller. Her tone is so gentle. I hope Lin-jie can partic.i.p.ate in radio programs to record a bedtime story!]
Bai Lin did not refute Zheng You. She just calmly narrated the story.
The comments section was discussing how immersed Bai Lin was in the game. However, Bai Lin knew that she was not immersed at all. She was able to see the whole story exactly because she was standing from the perspective of a bystander and even separated herself from the player’s ident.i.ty..
