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

Chapter 261: Hidden Motives, Puzzles of Truth, External Threats

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Fu Luo couldn't help but look at the beautiful "girl".

"You say you're not good at puzzles... but you're actually quite clever, worthy of being one of May's social circles!"

Lin Yu waved his hand: "I'm not good at solving puzzles, but if you've given me so much hint, I can still figure it out."

Fu Luo gave Lin Yu a thumbs up when he heard his humble words.

"Anyway, you're still pretty good!"

"At least you coordinated perfectly with my torture just now... Baron, you should have nothing to say now!"

Fu Luo looked at Baron Coleman proudly.

Even Ponkdo couldn't help but speak up for the two players.

"Coleman, I don't know how much you've changed in the past few years, but if you want to be 'innocent'... you should be honest first."

"At least you shouldn't hide it from the person who helped you clear your name."

Punkto's words made Coleman sigh silently.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you what I say."

"Their motive for suspecting me was simple...it wasn't that I had any grudge against Reed Christopher or anything like that."

"But I was..."

Coleman said, sighing, "After I found out there was a death here, I finally ran away without making a sound."

"Ran?!"

Before Lin Yu and Fu Luo could complain, Pang Keduo's voice suddenly rose: "You are a genius, Coleman... How could you get away with something like this? Do you think that the company will not thoroughly investigate the death of a former B-level independent researcher, who once served as the deputy director of an independent laboratory and was one step away from being promoted to an A-level distinguished researcher?"

Coleman pinched his nose and said with a headache, "No, Punkto, you don't understand now that you've lost your memory... As an A-level supervisor, and as the deceased was as powerful as you said, my first reaction was to realize that someone was setting a trap to target and frame me. Escaping and trying to erase the record of my access control was the right response."

"In fact... you, who had also been promoted to team leader at the time, later agreed with my approach."

"My only miscalculation was that I didn't clear the record of access control."

Baron Coleman said this, and Ponkdo sighed helplessly.

"But judging by the results... your escape actually played into their hands, didn't it?"

At this time, Lin Yu spoke again.

"What else? There's more than that!"

"There's nothing to hide about this."

Half the truth...

Lin Yu was very familiar with this method of "lying".

How could he, a professional fraudster, be fooled by this baron?

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Fu Luo nodded: "That's right - you omitted some content, right?"

Coleman looked at the two of them with an even more helpless expression.

"It seems like calling you two here was the right decision. I initially just wanted to give it a try... but now it seems like you might actually be able to help me prove my innocence."

"I did hide a part just now...that's the part I really wanted to hide."

"Because of my 'greed' and the overly urgent 'situation', I made a foolish judgment."

Baron Coleman pointed to an instrument in the corner.

"Before I left, I took a 'copy' of all of Reed's experimental data."

"I was very careful. I thought I didn't leave any traces."

"But who would have thought that while I was copying, this device would automatically read the ID card I was carrying and record my identity!"

Baron Coleman said with a wry smile.

Lin Yu sighed when he heard this.

"No wonder you kept it a secret... This is truly a shameful and foolish act on your part."

he said unceremoniously.

Fu Luo laughed dumbly: "Then you deserve to be considered a murderer by the Truth Company..."

Lin Yu nodded again and added, "No wonder all of Reed's friends and colleagues are hostile to you. Even if you're not the murderer, you've already been convicted of stealing confidential research results without reporting the crime."

Baron Coleman was scolded by the two men in unison. Since he could not refute them, he could only endure it and sighed helplessly.

"I was indeed too stupid eight years ago... But I definitely didn't kill anyone."

Punkto said with regret: "It seems that in the years since I lost my memory, you have simply become worse, and not more treacherous and cunning."

Coleman, who had been relatively calm just now, finally couldn't hold it in anymore after hearing what Punkdo said. He held his head with one hand and spoke.

"That's enough. That's why I wanted to hide this matter... This kind of thing has nothing to do with the truth, right? After all, this is just the reason why I was wronged!"

Baron Coleman's tone remained calm, but Lin Yu and Fu Luo could both hear that he was about to collapse.

Fu Luo quickly said, "No, on the contrary, your action, the 'motive' for becoming the first suspect, is precisely the key to investigating the truth."

"I'm not trying to comfort you intentionally... After you explained your motive, I've already touched upon the entire 'truth'—only one piece of the puzzle remains to find the murderer and uncover his method!"

Fu Luo said confidently, looking towards where the body was.

"Now, the final piece of the puzzle is..."

"Where is the murderer?"

As soon as Fu Luo finished speaking, the entire laboratory shook violently.

It was not a physical tremor like an earthquake, but the entire laboratory seemed to be "distorted" for a moment, and the scene became noisy and shaking!

"what's the situation?!"

Punkto asked warily.

Baron Coleman's face was solemn. "This is a sign that the [Ancient Notes] has been disturbed in some way... I'm afraid we've been attacked outside!"

……

Meanwhile, inside the Despair Train.

Three heavily armed fighters appeared in carriage number one of the Despair Train.

They entered the carriage by opening the inspection passage at the top and soon found the [Ancient Notes] and the four unconscious people.

Although there were two sentry robots around the four people, the three fighters obviously didn't care much.

"Deploy interference and take out the sentry first."

Following the leader's instructions, the three of them took out some kind of metal ball and threw it over there.

After the metal sphere landed on the ground, it emitted a flickering yellow light, illuminating the interior of the carriage and dimming the light of the ancient notebook.

Not only the ancient notes, but even the light of the "Furnace of Despair" dimmed a little.

The two sentries who had originally looked alert and vigilant became even more dull.

"Interference completed, power reduced to minimum, clearing commenced."

The three of them advanced forward in a "品"-shaped formation, and at the same time began to raise the main weapons that were originally hung on their chests.

But the moment they raised their weapons, the three of them discovered something was wrong.

"Our guns... disappeared?!"
