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

Chapter 385 Collaborative Fraud

As He Hua spread the word, the remaining six suspects also gathered in the room where Lin Yu and Fu Luo were.

The room, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly seemed a little crowded.

Li Hua and Liang Ye stood at the door like two door gods, and He Hua was fluttering not far away from them.

The remaining people were evenly distributed in the room on the sofa, in front of the cabinets and on the bed.

Huang crossed his arms over his chest. "Calling us all here doesn't look like a second round of questioning... Have you found the murderer?"

Fu Luo nodded: "Of course, everyone, I called you here for this matter."

Seagull rubbed his hands together. "Gathering all the suspects together and announcing the real culprit... What a ritual, just like Detective Conan!"

Lin Yu shook his head: "I called you all here not for the sake of ritual, because the murderer... or the number of 'accomplices' is not just one."

"Just like the case designed in one of my favorite mystery novels, Murder on the Orient Express," Fu Luo took over Lin Yu's words, cleared his throat, and announced the answer, "All of you... are murderers!"

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the six people changed at the same time.

Huang frowned slightly, Bailiangang cursed, Zhiyuan looked up at the ceiling, Ming Wang looked a little surprised, and Cress spat.

The seagulls reacted most violently.

"What? This accusation is too much!"

"You're doubting all six of us at once, aren't you?! Even if you're from Order, you can't spit bloody words at us!"

Seagull said this, somewhat indignantly.

Lin Yu shook his head: "It's not you, it's the five of them."

The seagull was stunned.

"Haaa... Why are you so careless? Are you trying to trick me?"

Kress also spoke up: "Order, we come from different organizations, and some even have different positions. Why would we conspire to do this?"

Lin Yu seemed to have anticipated that someone would ask this question, and spoke slowly.

"During the interrogation, most of you, except for that seagull over there, had one thing in common."

"You don't seem anxious to prove your innocence, nor do you raise any suspicious issues with others."

"It's as if you've reached some kind of consensus."

Huang said coldly: "This is just your subjective conjecture. Just because we don't accuse others, does that mean we are complicit?"

Ming Wang also agreed: "Yes, this is not very rigorous... Don't you think so, gambler?"

He even passed Fu Luo and Lin Yu and looked directly at Li Hua.

Li Hua pushed up his glasses and said, "This case is under the full responsibility of 'May May' and 'Forbolo'."

Fu Luo looked at Ming Wang.

"There's no complaint. We certainly have a basis for it... Because even though you all seem to have nothing to do with each other, your only connection happens to be the deceased in this case - Radish."

"I admit that he and I have a grudge, but I've already explained it," Huang said calmly, "I have no intention of killing him... and besides Bai Liangang and I, no one else here has had any contact with him."

"But you all have joined the 'Player Mutual Aid Association'. I mean, in the past," Lin Yu said calmly. "The reason you and Bai Liangang have a past that can be called 'enmity' with Luobo is because your loved ones died in the same dungeon as him."

"But...why were your loved ones in that dungeon with him? Of course, it's because they were members of the 'Player Mutual Aid Association' at the time, just like you."

"The same goes for Kress, Kite, and Ming Wang over there."

"You may not have had direct contact with 'Carrot', but you all witnessed the Players' Mutual Aid Association during its most glorious period."

Lin Yu shook his phone. "Or rather, a considerable number of players who have reached the third level now have witnessed the Players Mutual Aid Association due to their seniority."

"Do you need me to go into the app and check your speech records from that year?"

"Forget it," Cress interrupted Lin Yu, "but as you said, half of the old players must have joined the 'Player Mutual Aid Association', but why the five of us?"

"At least, I, Ming Wang, and Zhiyuan have absolutely no motive to kill Radish."

Fu Luo shook his finger: "Let me correct you. According to the definition of criminal psychology, the motives for murder are divided into profit motive, desire motive, revenge motive, escape and fear motive, political motive and perverted murder."

"You simply have no motive for revenge. However, if the three of you were involved, it could be explained by profit motives, political motives, and perverted murder."

Lin Yu added, "And this is still a case of 'murder'... If you are just 'accomplices' and 'complices', then your motives will be clearer... As long as they are reliable, it will be enough."

"The mastermind behind this has found you and exploited your feelings towards the Players' Mutual Aid Association. Combined with various other factors, this is enough to make you a qualified accomplice."

"For example, the actual benefits promised to you, the Ming Wang may simply be here to help Huang... As for Zhiyuan, even some simple persuasion may be all that's needed."

Zhiyuan raised her hands awkwardly. "Don't make it sound like I'm a born psychopath and murderer. I admit I'm a little abnormal, but I don't think I'm a sociopath."

"After all, I've been a dedicated member of the Order for over a year. How could I possibly kill someone just because someone said something to me?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Indeed, but... the crime I want to accuse you of is not murder. As I said, you are an accomplice."

Zhiyuan frowned: "Even if it means assisting in murder, I can't just help so easily."

"So you didn't assist in the murder," Lin Yu exhaled. "The five of you are accomplices, but you are only accomplices. None of you is the real murderer or the mastermind."

Huang looked at Lin Yu: "That's an interesting statement, but tell me, who is the real murderer?"

“Who can convince us to do anything?”

Lin Yu sighed:

"So, your only connection is the 'Players' Mutual Aid Association', the former 'Players' Mutual Aid Association'."

"The mastermind behind all this, the one who persuaded you, is, of course, the sole survivor from the era of the Players' Mutual Aid Association..."

"That's none other than 'Radish' himself."

Lin Yu said calmly, and Seagull laughed: "What a joke! Suicide again? How could a veteran player like Luobo commit suicide!"

Liang Ye also rubbed his hair and smiled helplessly: "Shit, that one was just confirmed to be a fake suicide...how come a real suicide popped up? Are you kidding me?"

But judging from the unanimous silence of the remaining five people, Liang Ye's expression gradually became serious.

"Are you serious? Are you really going to commit suicide? Impossible!"

"Isn't it the Psychology Society that's causing trouble again?"

Lin Yu shook his head: "No, the crime I accused them of as 'accomplices' from the beginning to the end was not 'aiding in murder'."

"It's 'coordinated fraud.'"

"This group of people worked together, and under Luobo's instructions, they disguised Luobo's death date and cause, creating a hoax that tried to deceive everyone."

"To make his natural or accidental death... appear to be a murder that occurred on the eve of the auction."
