There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

At 10 p.m., the reason there was some slack in the hotel's backyard defense was to allow someone in.

The military officer responsible for this was the captain of the backyard patrol team, who did not tell his soldiers why someone was coming, but just instructed them not to act too hastily if they spotted anything unusual.

The surrounding snipers had been alerted to this as well, to avoid the unfortunate event of the person being killed by friendly fire on the way.

At the moment, within the sight of one sniper, a figure appeared fifty meters away from the Five-star Hotel, running quickly towards it without much concealment.

"Someone has appeared," the sniper reported in a low voice, pressing his earpiece.

"Understood, no need to act for now," came the reply through the earpiece, accompanied by some static and a breath.

After reporting the situation, the sniper's scope continued to follow the figure until it reached the iron gate of the hotel's backyard.

Upon seeing this, he moved his lens away, focusing his attention on other areas.

But at that moment, the sniper suddenly felt a dizzy spell, a sudden blur in his vision as white light appeared before his eyes, and he was momentarily blinded.

The next moment, he realized what was happening, but it was too late; a person in black dropped down from the ceiling, a heavy strike to his temple with a muffled burst of light that silently brought him down.

Luckily, this position was extremely concealed, and the flash from the person in black was suppressed intentionally, making it inconspicuous and brief.

The person in black quickly supported the falling body, carefully straightening and repositioning it.

Then, he took the earpiece off and placed it on his own ear.

This type of two-way radio was commonly used between snipers and observers and wouldn't work if the distance was too great, implying that the sniper's observer was also nearby.

After waiting quietly for a moment, the person in black pressed the earpiece and mimicked the sniper's voice, saying, "I've spotted someone in the southeast direction."

Soon, a voice came from the other side, "Thirty-nine degrees south of east, I see it too."

The code was matched, and the other side was taken care of as well.

The person in black breathed a sigh of relief.

This sniper position was the most convenient for observing the area around the Five-star Hotel and was very hidden, making it a crucial strategic location.

Having deployed, their first task was to take control of this area.

The person in black did not take the sniper's place, but instead found a corner nearby, took out a pair of binoculars, and continued to surveil the surrounding area.

...

...

As the winds stirred outside, inside the Five-star Hotel.

The safety catch on the Capital Commandant's pistol had already been disengaged, but at that moment, another military officer suddenly burst in.

He did not carry a base station in his arms, but instead quickly whispered something in the Capital Commandant's ear, after which, the Capital Commandant's expression changed slightly.

The people of Green Mist had already arrived...

The military officer's voice was very soft, and the few people in the break room could only hear faint sounds but had no idea what was being said.

However, considering that the Capital Commandant had seemingly just taken a call from the Great General, they were all carefully watching him, fantasizing that someone had finally come to deal with this tyrant.

Yet, the Capital Commandant inexplicably glared at Xu Shuo, who was standing by the side.

Xu Shuo was looking at him as well, so he appropriately showed a puzzled expression.

Perhaps when the Capital Commandant was thinking, he subconsciously stared at one point, so as Xu Shuo endured the cold, merciless gaze for a while, the Capital Commandant seemed to have finished his thoughts and looked away.

He put away his pistol, sparing Manager Zhang, who had almost been tormented to death, and turned to leave the break room.

Outside the break room, the guests who were left in the hotel lobby looked listless and drained, the spiritedness gone, with some of the ladies beginning to feel sleepy.

Compared to the afternoon's troubles, the evening's outburst, and the night's fear, they were now extremely well-behaved.

The people in the lobby had also gone through an interrogation just a moment ago, but seemingly with only slight suspicion, they had not suffered terrible punishments.

But the shock he felt inside was significant.

At this moment, when everyone saw the Capital Commandant come out again, their spirits were briefly lifted, and they looked over with covert anticipation.

After coming out, the Capital Commandant called over the secretary guarding the entrance.

"Keep a close watch on them," the Capital Commandant said flatly, glancing at the door to the rest area. "Anyone who makes a suspicious move should be executed on the spot without hesitation."

"Yes." The secretary was slightly startled and hurriedly responded.

Then, the Capital Commandant turned and opened the side door leading to the back yard, went out, and closed it again.

The guests in the hall murmured to each other as they watched, and saw the secretary bring a few more soldiers to guard the door to the rest area, making it truly airtight.

The rest area was only about twenty square meters, without any windows, and aside from the door, it was completely enclosed.

So, all they had to do was guard the door!

…

Inside the rest area.

Apart from the guarding soldiers, there were five other people, three of whom were silent and trembling, while another one was unable to make a sound.

Poor Manager Zhang, who had gone from being able to sit in a chair to now lying lifelessly on the floor.

Xu Shuo crouched down, looked at the badly mangled and pitiful Manager Zhang, and sighed helplessly, "Why bother? Did you really think the Capital Commandant was so easy to fool?"

Especially since the confession was only halfway done, could the Capital Commandant's patience really handle such teasing?

When someone is courting death, there really is no stopping it.

The Capital Commandant had chosen to keep him close, ostensibly agreeing to let him find a way to clear his own name, but in reality, it was just to confirm some things.

Unfortunately, the man before him didn't know that.

So to sell his information to the Capital Commandant was simply superfluous.

Xu Shuo picked up the medicinal liquor beside him but found that he had already squandered most of it just now, and there wasn't much left.

"Do you have any more at your hotel?" Xu Shuo asked, holding the bottle towards the receptionist by his side.

The receptionist shook her head timidly.

"Alright then."

Xu Shuo, slightly disappointed, put down the medicinal liquor and attempted to help the lifeless Manager Zhang on the ground to his feet, but his strength seemed insufficient to lift a grown man of sturdy build.

So he turned to the soldier at the door and asked, "Excuse me, could you help me with this?"

The soldier was indifferent.

There were four soldiers in the rest room, two behind the interrogation chair, and two at the door.

And now, they all acted as if they hadn't heard him, not glancing aside.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Xu Shuo spoke again, "The Capital Commandant didn't kill him just now, so he probably plans to keep him for his own use. If he dies like this, it might ruin things. I just need to deal with those fatal wounds briefly, and that should suffice. It's just that lying down like this is very inconvenient."

Hearing this, the soldier he had asked for help shifted his gaze slightly, looking at his comrade beside him.

The four soldiers exchanged looks and finally nodded, then one came forward to assist.

The strength of the soldier was unquestionable, and after Xu Shuo helped lift Manager Zhang, he let go, letting the soldier bear the full weight of the man without objection.

As the soldier was about to place the half-dead man in the chair—

Xu Shuo made his move!

The man, who moments ago seemed gentle and refined, suddenly had a fierce glint in his eyes. With the speed of lightning and without any warning, he rushed toward the other soldier at the door!
