Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 259: A Standard Closed Room Murder Case

“This place is more real than I thought.”

Walking through the corridors of the Truth Company's headquarters, Baron Coleman sighed again as he watched the researchers passing by and chatting about different things with different expressions.

"Professor Dot wasn't being modest when he said that... His development and utilization of the Ancient Notes is truly less than 5%."

Lin Yu was also secretly surprised.

This place is indeed real, so real that it doesn’t feel like I have come to Baron Coleman’s memory, but rather like I have really traveled back to eight years ago!

Some of the researchers who passed by him and the Baron were talking. The few words Lin Yu heard covered all kinds of gossip, research topics, etc., and they felt very real.

However, even though these things made Lin Yu feel emotional, they would not make him change his goal.

soon……

Led by Coleman, he came to the employee accommodation area in the southeast corner of the park.

A large number of employees of the Truth Company live here - generally only leaders and retired scholars can live here.

At the edge of the accommodation area, there is a warehouse-like area.

The warehouse contains a large amount of discarded metal parts.

Coleman led him around and around until they reached the corner of the warehouse.

"This place is quite remote."

"Of course, it's a 'hidden' laboratory after all, so we can't just leave it out there openly."

Coleman sighed and then started pulling the tall shelf in the corner.

"Om-"

The metal rubbed against the ground, making a sharp sound that made your teeth ache, revealing a security door behind it.

This security door is not completely hidden in the wall without any trace.

Instead, it simply put a seal on the door that read "This door is abandoned."

Even through the gap between the shelves just now, I could vaguely see that there was a door here.

But Lin Yu had to say...

This camouflage method is much better than hiding the door completely in the wall.

“It’s a genius idea.”

If he saw something like this, he would never guess that this door was the entrance to a secret laboratory.

This kind of disguise takes advantage of human inertia of thinking - the principle is just like a person wearing a maintenance worker's uniform can move in and out of places at will.

"I researched the location before coming to this warehouse, and I almost overlooked this door."

Baron Coleman sighed and then opened the door.

Looking at the abandoned and uncleaned passage behind the door, Lin Yu spoke after thinking for a while.

"Don't we need to reunite with Punkto and the detective?"

They walked along the way without encountering the two people.

After all, this place is huge.

"Honestly... I don't know how to find them, so why not come here and take a look first?"

Baron Coleman replied.

"And, if the detective is really smart enough..."

Baron Coleman didn't say it explicitly, but Lin Yu already understood what he meant.

The two men walked into the stairs behind the abandoned gate, and after turning two corners, they saw a corridor that suddenly became bright and clean.

In the corridor, there is a door guard standing.

And before that access control...

Fu Luo was squatting there with Pangduo.

"You two are so slow to get here," Fu Luo said boredly, "What's going on? Did you have a conflict outside?"

As Baron Coleman had hoped...

Fu Luo had already arrived here first.

Without him telling Fu Luo the exact location, Fu Luo accurately found the crime scene from the entire huge park.

Even though he had expected it, Baron Coleman couldn't help but ask when he saw Fu Luo actually did it.

"How did you find this place?"

"Although this park is large, there aren't many locations available to accommodate a hidden ghost lab."

"It only takes a little investigation of the map to see where a piece is 'missing' or where the cartography is deliberately irregular."

"And... you mentioned that the researcher was found in his own 'home'."

Fu Luo said calmly, knocking on the metal door's access control panel: "So, how do I open this door?"

Although it is now "consciousness" and "soul", the [Ancient Notes] faithfully restores the state of everyone before entering - Lin Yu checked and found that his various props can still be used.

This of course includes Will Valetti's ID card.

“Try swiping the card.”

As he spoke, he took out the permission card from his pocket.

Baron Coleman nodded. "I was able to get in smoothly back then with my Class A clearance—that was one of the main pieces of evidence that led to my conviction."

"I don't know if B-level clearance is feasible."

Baron Coleman's response was a crisp "beep" sound.

The metal door opened automatically and Lin Yu shrugged.

“It seems feasible.”

The four people entered the mysterious "Ghost Laboratory" area and soon came to a door under the leadership of Baron Coleman.

He pushed open the door, revealing a long passage.

Pang Keduo was a little confused: "Where does this lead to?"

"To the home of Reed Christopher."

Baron Coleman whispered.

At this time, except for Pang Keduo, Lin Yu and Fu Luo had already vaguely realized the whole picture of the case.

At the end of the passage, Coleman opened the door again...

What they saw was a laboratory about the size of a classroom.

They came out of a hidden back door in the laboratory disguised as a freezer.

The entire laboratory was filled with various instruments, and on the laboratory table in the middle, Reed Christopher was lying in a pool of blood with a sharp blade stuck in his back.

This is...

The murder scene eight years ago!

Fu Luo quickly looked around and noticed that in addition to this hidden door, the entire laboratory had only one main door that was tightly closed and locked.

There are no windows, the grilles of the ventilation ducts are welded shut, and alarms are installed.

And this hidden door behind me...

"If I'm not mistaken, the access control system at the door showed that you were the only one who passed through, right?"

Fu Luo asked coldly, and Coleman nodded helplessly.

"Yes, this is also one of the important reasons why I am suspected of being the murderer..."

"Whether it was in that passage or in Reed's home, I was the only one who showed up during Reed's death. In fact, according to the medical examiner's reconstruction, Reed's death occurred after I entered the passage."

"Because I didn't come to Reid's house immediately... I wandered in that corridor for about fifteen minutes."

"Plus, I lost that knife a few days ago. So even though the company hasn't convicted me yet, I've completely offended Reed's faction. They're convinced... no, even my friends think I killed Reed!"

Fu Luo nodded.

"I see. If I firmly believe that you are not the murderer, then the current situation..."

"It's a standard locked-room murder case."
