Never in her wildest dreams did Lin Sanjiu expect that she would be the first one to be suspected.
"That's why I think Xiao Jiu is very suspicious." Hu Changzai turned his head away unnaturally and did not look at her. He stuttered, "Because no matter how I think about it, I can't figure out how she could prevent our abilities from being taken away …"
Lin Sanjiu's jaw dropped. She couldn't help glancing at Hai Tianqing and B.Rabbit.
Hai Tianqing was suddenly very interested in the things on the table. He was playing with a fork as if he had never seen it before.
Brown Rabbit buried his face in the plate and refused to raise his head. Only his fluffy butt was exposed. He said in a muffled voice, "Well, actually, I also think you're a little strange … because you always act like you have a card up your sleeve …"
"Now that you guys mentioned it …" Even Hai Tianqing, the only honest person who did not speak, added fuel to the fire, "Indeed, everyone talked about their experiences just now. She was the only one who mentioned something related to this pocket dimension."
Lin Sanjiu was so anxious that she was sweating, "Don't be so sure that it's me! I'm not Mr. Dot! "
Hu Changzai was stunned the moment she said that. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a while before saying, "She didn't lie just now. It seems like it's really not Xiao Jiu."
"Finally, they believe me." Before Lin Sanjiu could heave a sigh of relief, B.Rabbit looked at Hu Changzai with a pair of black eyes full of doubt, "Forget it … With your ability, you can't tell who is lying, right? Or maybe you are Mr. Dot? Maybe you said that on purpose so that we would not have to worry about Xiao Jiu and believe you subconsciously … "
Hu Changzai immediately jumped up from his chair, "What are you talking about?! If that's the case, it's very suspicious for you to eat the food even though you know it might be poisonous! "
"Nonsense! I did it because I was hungry! Besides, if I am Mr. Dot, shouldn't I avoid doing that?! "
"Not necessarily. Maybe you just want to act careless so that you can gain trust …"
"Since you are so experienced, you must be Mr. Dot …"
"Rabbit, why are you talking about him and me? What are you … "
"Stop arguing!"
In the growing noise, Hai Tianqing finally couldn't take it anymore. He slammed the table and roared, shocking the three of them.
The slap caused the silverware and glassware to sway. Then, a broken dining table fell to the ground with a crack.
"Speak one by one! Just say the doubtful points, don't make any nonsense guesses! " Hai Tianqing's character as a northern man was revealed. His deep roar echoed in the silent cubicle. "Everyone is here to find Mr. Dot. I told you that no one is allowed to get angry. Do you hear me?"
Everyone fell silent.
After a while. It was Brown-furred Rabbit who broke the silence.
"I thought about it, and I don't think Xiao Jiu would be Mr. Dessert. You don't know, but there were a few idiots who wanted to catch me and eat me when I lost an advanced ability … Luckily, Little Wine saved me. " As it spoke, it stroked the thick layer of fur on its belly. "Mr. Dot would never do such a thankless thing."
Hu Changzai scratched his head in frustration, "Then, who could it be?"
Lin Sanjiu looked at him and suddenly said coldly, "Isn't it you?"
Her words immediately attracted everyone's attention. Brown-furred Rabbit and Hai Tianqing immediately looked at Hu Changzai.
"I was in a rush to prove that I am not Mr. Dot, so I forgot to think deeper." Lin Sanjiu rested her chin on her hand and looked at him coldly. "Let's put it this way. If Mr. Dot turns into anyone other than you, when he says he is not Mr. Dot, you will immediately find out. You'll find out right away, right? "
Hu Changzai nodded blankly. It seemed that his mind hadn't caught up with the situation.
"With Hu Changzai's personality, once he finds out who Mr. Dot is, he will definitely shout it out … Even if he can say something to divert attention, it is too risky for Mr. Dot." Lin Sanjiu turned to the remaining human and rabbit and explained, "But if Mr. Dot turns into Hu Changzai, there will be no danger."
"Not only will there be no danger, but he will also know that none of us is Mr. Dot. So, he can pretend that he can distinguish between the real and the fake so that we won't suspect him …"
That's right! "That's true," said the rabbit, twitching its ears. He exchanged a glance with Hai Tianqing.
"Other than that, there is something else that I find very strange," Lin Sanjiu said expressionlessly as she stared at the beads of sweat on Hu Changzai's forehead. Every time she faced an enemy. His expression would become as cold as an iron plate. "Hu Changzai has yet to evolve his physical enhancement. He still has the physique of an ordinary person. Is it possible for him to starve for more than two months? Logically speaking, he should have starved to death long ago! "
These words were like a clap of thunder, shocking everyone present and causing their expressions to change.
Hu Changzai's expression immediately changed. He looked back and forth at his companions with a suspicious expression. He sighed softly and said, "About this, I … I can explain it, but you guys definitely won't believe me."
Rabbit looked at him seriously, "Tell me about it."
"When the labyrinth first appeared, I starved for 43 days. I really felt like I was going to die soon. However, in the past week, because Xiao Jiu was unconscious, I had to make biscuit paste for her every day. I had to drink it a few times a day … So, I got used to carrying a bag of biscuits in my pocket. In the beginning, I relied on the biscuits to survive. Cadre Hai also knows this. "
Hai Tianqing nodded his head, confirming his statement. Lin Sanjiu was stunned. She did not expect that to be the case. "But … every minute is equivalent to one day. How can a bag of biscuits last for more than a month?"
"That's why I said that you guys definitely won't believe me." Hu Changzai sighed, "After I finished the biscuits, I became weaker and weaker. It was difficult for me to even walk … In the end, I was separated from Cadre Hai and the others. When I fell to the ground and thought that I was going to starve to death, I activated my physical enhancement. That's why I survived until Cadre Hai came to find me … "
This was too much of a coincidence. Why did he activate his physical enhancement when there was no one around?
Hai Tianqing frowned and asked doubtfully, "You didn't tell me about this?"
Hu Changzai smiled bitterly, "That's because there were a few people with you at that time!"
Nobody could verify whether this was true or not. Once again, there was silence in the air. Everyone was a little uncertain.
After thinking for a while, Lin Sanjiu was finally awakened from her thoughts by a sharp sense of hunger. The few mouthfuls of fish she had just eaten were equivalent to ten to twenty days of hunger. She endured the dizziness caused by low blood sugar and grabbed the pen and paper. Without looking at Hu Changzai, she said, "If we continue talking, we will all starve to death. Let's stop talking and vote. "
Hu Changzai immediately panicked. He looked at B.Rabbit and then looked at Hai Tianqing. He pleaded nervously, "Do you guys really want to vote for me? I'm really not Mr. Dot … "
Lin Sanjiu ignored his tearless face and quickly wrote her ballot paper.
Driven by Lin Sanjiu, Hai Tianqing also lowered his head and wrote down a line of words on his white voting paper gloomily.
Only B.Rabbit, who had a pair of furry paws, could not hold a pen and write. He looked around the table and chose Lin Sanjiu as his substitute, "Xiaojiu, help me write. I want to vote for Hu Changzai … "
Hu Changzai's face turned ashen when he heard that, "Oh no, there must be a fifth game …"
After a while, as he sighed, two red and one white paper were placed on the table. This meant that the two members of the red team and Hai Tianqing had finished voting.
Even if he was suspected to be Mr. Dot, he still had to vote. Hu Changzai looked at his three companions at the table. Finally, he gritted his teeth and wrote the last piece of voting paper. He placed it on the other three smaller pieces of paper.
The moment the four voting papers were placed on the table, they seemed to hear the nervous thumping of their hearts.
Lin Sanjiu felt that her throat was parched. She suddenly doubted her deduction and looked at Hu Changzai with uncertainty. She couldn't help whispering, "It's time to write the votes … Hai Tianqing, why don't you do it?"
The tall and muscular man was silent for a moment. Then, he extended his hand hesitantly and flipped open the first voting paper. It was the one that Hu Changzai had placed on the table.
The words "B.Rabbit" were written on the white voting paper.
B.Rabbit snorted disdainfully and cast a sidelong glance at Hu Changzai, "Are you putting up a last-ditch struggle by choosing me?"
"No, no … I just feel that the most unlikely person is the prisoner … Isn't that how it is written in the novels?" Hu Changzai gave a very weak reason.
Hai Tianqing coughed to attract everyone's attention. Then, he flipped over the second white ballot paper, which was his own.
The words "Hu Changzai" were written in a rough and bold font.
This time, Hu Changzai didn't show any signs of surprise. He just sighed and resigned himself to his fate.
Next, it was time for the red team to vote. No one knew if it was Lin Sanjiu's or B.Rabbit's.
Hai Tianqing used his large fingers and carefully flipped over the third voting paper.
The words "Hai Tianqing" were written on the paper.
"Are you kidding me?" Hu Changzai frowned and glared at Lin Sanjiu. The three of them got three votes. In other words, there was only one valid suspect …
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath and watched as the fourth voting paper was flipped over. The words "Hai Tianqing" were written on it.
The room suddenly fell into absolute silence. (To be continued.)
