Chapter 486: I Think There’s Something Wrong with Gu Bei
Everyone who heard this had nothing to say about Gu Bei's responsible attitude.Some even felt that Gu Bei was someone you could get along with.
Because he could have easily shirked most of the responsibility, bearing only a tiny fraction himself.
After all, this bloody game wasn't his creation.
Worse yet, they thought that with Gu Bei's financial resources, if he wanted to, he could have completely extricated himself from this whole mess!
But now, he was taking full responsibility!
What a kind-hearted, responsible person he was!!!
Therefore, everyone agreed to this arrangement.
Soon, the police and an ambulance arrived.
The ambulance took away the injured, namely Jiang Ran and the others.
The remaining bodies were taken to the coroner's office for autopsies.
Apart from that, the police inquired about what had happened here.
They took statements from everyone, then dispatched officers into the estate to search for the Armored Man and the Hook Murderer—the Pig-headed Man.
Of course, since the Zombie Tyrannosaurus and the other four Explorers had already left long ago, they couldn't be investigated at the moment.
During this time.
Gu Bei's three luxury coaches also returned.
Many people from Gu Bei's family got off.
These people were tasked with entering the Castle Estate to retrieve all the Small Cards.
After retrieving them, they would be made into a blind box.
Everyone present would draw five cards.
This was the previously agreed-upon compensation.
Among those present, many, like Hu Xiaofei and Liu Ruyi, had spent the entire time looking for Small Cards and hadn't been exposed to the dangers within the estate.
There were also those who had encountered danger but it turned out to be a false alarm.
These two groups of people were frightened by what happened today, but also felt fortunate, lucky, and happy.
After all, they weren't the ones who got injured or died.
And they could still draw five Small Cards.
This was simply fantastic.
Therefore, many who drew five Small Cards, upon seeing what they got, cheered happily right on the spot.
Completely forgetting the earlier horrors of this place.
Indeed, the joys and sorrows of people are not connected.
When a calamity befalls others, those not affected will only feel relieved and become smug.
Sports Committee Member Li Hu, Xia Long, and Vice Monitor Yu Xiaobo were sitting on a lush green lawn within the Castle Estate at this moment, eating boxed lunches.
This was ordered and brought by Class Monitor Gu Bei.
Everyone got a share.
Moreover, the boxed lunches Gu Bei bought were completely different from ordinary ones; his were at least a 30-yuan standard. Extremely lavish.
They ate their boxed lunches while watching a large number of police officers bustling in and out of the estate, all very busy.
"Probably won't be able to leave here until evening," Li Hu said calmly.
Yu Xiaobo took a sip of his iced tea: "That can't be helped. Taking photos for evidence, taking statements from everyone, various investigations... naturally take a lot of time."
"But we're still pretty lucky, at least nothing happened to us. It's just that Xia Long and I were unlucky, getting electrocuted... and of course, Xia Long also got punched..."
He and Xia Long had received a simple check-up after the doctor arrived. The doctor said they didn't need to go to the hospital, just needed to rest and recover slowly. Of course, if Xia Long wanted to get his tooth fixed, he'd still have to go.
Yu Xiaobo said: "Still, I never could have imagined a perfectly good class reunion would turn out like this..."
At this moment, Li Hu flicked his chopsticks, took two big mouthfuls of rice, swallowed them down, and then said:
"Actually, there's something I don't know if I should bring up."
Yu Xiaobo asked: "What is it?"
Li Hu said: "I think the one who orchestrated all this is Class Monitor Gu Bei."
Yu Xiaobo said: "I know, this treasure hunt was set up by Gu Bei, wasn't it?"
Li Hu said: "No, I'm talking about that thing about the ten keys, the Hunters."
Yu Xiaobo was stunned, then, after coming to his senses, shook his head: "Are you joking, bro?! You can't joke about something like this!"
Li Hu said: "Do you remember those three classmates from our class who died?"
Xia Long, who hadn't spoken until now, said: "Two guys and one girl."
Li Hu nodded: "Back then, it was said the three of them died in a car accident, an accidental death, but I think there's something off about it."
Yu Xiaobo: "This... that's old news, ancient history. What could possibly be off about it?"
Li Hu said: "Those two guys and one girl were all poor students in our class back then."
"Xia Long and I were particularly close with one of them."
"For a period before that person died, he inexplicably had a big smile plastered on his face every day, as if he'd struck it rich. I asked him, but he wouldn't say."
"Until a few days before his so-called fatal car accident, he came to me and said in a few days, he'd take me to new heights."
"I asked him, what the hell? What's been up with you lately? Why are you so happy?"
"Anyway, in the end, after my persistent questioning, he revealed a little: Class Monitor Gu Bei had introduced him to a part-time job that could earn a lot of money."
"And then, I never saw him again, only got the news of his death."
At this point, Li Hu had already put his boxed lunch and drink aside, placed them in a plastic bag, and started cleaning up.
Xia Long's gaze was like that of an idiot, as if he had sunk deep into Li Hu's words and couldn't extricate himself.
A long time later, he suddenly stood up, startling Yu Xiaobo, who asked: "What are you doing?!"
The burly Xia Long squatted back down, his entire face trembling, as if he had discovered some long-lost truth.
"I knew it! I knew it! What are the odds of something like that in the world?"
"All died in car accidents, and at the same time!!!"
"Li Hu! Are we still friends or not?! Why didn't you tell me about something this important?!"
Xia Long angrily grabbed Li Hu.
He clutched the collar of Li Hu's shirt tightly.
Li Hu felt like he could barely breathe.
It was Yu Xiaobo who pulled the two apart.
After pulling them apart, he said: "No, are you two playing detective games here?"
"Even though back then the teacher only said the three died in a car accident."
"Based on what you said today, how can you pin it on Gu Bei?"
"Isn't it possible that those three who died in the car crash were all introduced by Gu Bei to do summer jobs?"
"And then the three of them went together and accidentally got into a car accident?"
"You have to remember, Gu Bei helps the poor students in our class the most, and often introduces summer jobs, winter jobs!"
Yu Xiaobo wanted to cut off these two's wild fantasies.
Li Hu said: "Then what about today? Someone pulls off such a stunt in your family's estate, and you have absolutely no idea? Isn't that bullshit?"
Yu Xiaobo said: "Isn't that normal? For these rich people, they have properties all over the country, even all over the world. Many of his properties are just sitting there!"
"For example, a while ago, a female internet celebrity's villa on Coconut Island was lived in by a man for half a month, and he even secretly drank six bottles of Moutai."
"Therefore, it's perfectly normal that Gu Bei didn't know someone had rigged this estate with so many tricks. He's only been here a few times occasionally; he doesn't live here long-term!"
