Yun Rou stepped forward at this moment.
She studied the painting thoughtfully, her gaze shifting to the hand of the furtive man.
"No need to guess, the murder weapon is in the killer's hand, it's the brick in this man's hand," Yun Rou understood.
Xiao Jue also hurried over and indeed saw the half-broken brick in the man's hand.
He was half-believing, "Impossible, why are the clues so easy this time?"
After all, anyone with eyes could see the brick in the man's hand.
Long Keyu stood at the back of the crowd, feeling a chilling sensation all around him.
He couldn't help but yell at the four detectives in front, "Have you found the murder weapon? This place is too weird, we need to leave quickly."
Bai Bin and Gu Lin laughed at him from the side, and Long Keyu shot them a glare.
"No, the murder weapon can't just be a brick," Shi Xinxin looked closely at the painting in front of her and quickly negated it.
Sheng Chenjin agreed with her.
Yun Rou raised an eyebrow, "Then what is the real murder weapon?" She was a little curious, what new trick could Shi Xinxin come up with this time.
Shi Xinxin's expression was serious as she studied the painting for a few minutes.
The room was silent with her, not a sound, making the cold wind blowing from outside seem a little eerie.
This chilling atmosphere made even the viewers in the live broadcast hold their breath.
The audience was tense, staring intently at the screen, afraid to miss any detail.
After a long pause, just as Yun Rou was about to ask, Shi Xinxin spoke, "I don't know what the murder weapon is either."
As soon as these words came out, the tens of thousands of viewers waiting for an answer in the live broadcast burst into laughter.
[Hahahaha, seriously, she's so cute! I'm starting to want to be a fan.]
[How can Xin Xin say this with a straight face? Hahaha, I'm too scared to even eat.]
Similarly, Xiao Jue, whose heart was pounding, wiped a bead of sweat.
He sighed, "You scared me for nothing, I got goosebumps all over."
Bai Bin and Gu Lin also shivered, and Long Keyu swallowed.
He hadn't expected this answer. Yun Rou was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "You're really cute."
Shi Xinxin didn't reply. She subconsciously felt that Yun Rou was not as simple as she appeared.
"Xin Xin, don't panic, we'll find the answer," Sheng Chenjin said softly, looking at the girl's profile under the dim light.
Shi Xinxin raised an eyebrow at him and replied in a low voice, "I'm not panicking, don't slander me."
Seeing the smile on the girl's face, Sheng Chenjin smiled silently.
Perhaps sensing the tense atmosphere in the room, the broadcast announced, "There is only one chance to provide a clue, please guests make your choice before providing it."
This meant that they had to find the most credible and accurate clue among countless others.
Xiao Jue felt a headache at the sound of the broadcast's mechanical voice.
"Right now, only the brick in this man's hand is the most credible," Yun Rou's gaze was on the painting.
She seemed to say this unintentionally.
But Shi Xinxin inexplicably felt that Yun Rou was constantly interfering with her, concealing the real clues.
What was her purpose in doing this...
There was no time to think about such things now, Shi Xinxin's thoughts returned to reality.
Her gaze suddenly fixed on a corner of the painting.
The corner was smeared with large dark color blocks, only a small area. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find.
There seemed to be something in the corner. Shi Xinxin leaned forward slightly, looking carefully.
It was easy to see that there was a table in the corner, and on the table was an unidentified object made of gilded pigment.
Sheng Chenjin saw that Shi Xinxin seemed to have discovered something and followed her gaze to the corner.
"Is this... a gilded censer?" he mused.
Shi Xinxin caught the keyword in his words and turned back, "Censer?"
Sheng Chenjin nodded, "Yes, this kind of censer was considered an antique a few centuries ago."
It was not surprising for such a historical item to appear in this painting.
Shi Xinxin suddenly became interested.
She was curious why there would be a censer in the bathroom.
Looking at the wisps of white smoke rising from the censer in the painting, Shi Xinxin became even more curious.
Things that are often overlooked in corners are more likely to be the main focus.
Sheng Chenjin suddenly thought, "I think he put a censer in the bath just to freshen up the air in the bathroom."
Shi Xinxin nodded, she had naturally thought of that.
However, just thinking in this direction wouldn't lead to anything useful.
She changed her approach.
"By the way, do you think the killer could be a servant in the deceased's household?" Shi Xinxin suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Yun Rou looked up in surprise, glancing at her secretly.
Sheng Chenjin carefully observed the killer's attire and nodded, "The killer is wearing coarse cloth, so he should just be a cleaning staff."
With that said, the clue that had been confusing her mind began to connect.
Shi Xinxin snapped her fingers, "Right, since this servant is the killer, he might have tampered with things in the bathroom."
Everyone present looked bewildered at her words.
Long Keyu frowned, "Is he trying to rob and kill? Is that why he's messing with things in the bathroom?"
"Definitely not," Shi Xinxin shook her head. She pointed to the gilded censer in the corner, "This censer is very valuable, why didn't the killer take it away?"
Sheng Chenjin echoed her words, "So, the killer wasn't acting on impulse to rob and kill, but harbored hatred and had planned it in advance."
It was exactly what Shi Xinxin was thinking.
She agreed, "Exactly!"
Bai Bin, who was detail-oriented, also quickly noticed something.
"Meaning, the killer set a trap in the bathroom in advance, just waiting for the deceased?"
It seemed that everyone's intelligence was online, and Shi Xinxin nodded with satisfaction.
Unexpectedly, it became more and more mysterious. Xiao Jue and Long Keyu were astonished as they processed what they had just heard.
She pondered, tapping her chin, "So I think the killer must have first put a drug in the censer, and then used the brick to strike the victim's head, killing him with one blow."
Yun Rou's eyebrows moved.
She curved her lips, "And how do you know there was a drug in the censer?"
Shi Xinxin first glanced at her, her expression as calm as still water.
She quickly turned her gaze back, "It's simple, because there are four distinct black fingerprints on the gilded censer."
"The killer wasn't here to steal the censer, so why would they touch it?" Shi Xinxin looked at Yun Rou.
"That doesn't prove..."
Before she could finish, Shi Xinxin interrupted her, "I know what you want to say."
She pointed to the area around the bathtub, where there was only blood. "Now, do you understand?"
