God's Imitator

Compared to "One Word Breaks the Prison," Tang Qing’s attire has changed significantly.

Originally, he wore a Zhongshan suit with his hair tied up with a hairpin, but now he has switched to a black long coat and hid his long hair under a modern-style modified deerstalker hat, perfectly fitting the image of a detective.

Clearly, this was a deliberate wardrobe change in the actor’s dressing room.

The wardrobe in the resting room has various costumes, with actors choosing appropriate outfits according to their roles as part of the performance, which would also affect the audience’s impression scores for "Perfect Performance."

"As one of the participants in this case and a professional detective, allow me to present to the respected jurors the evidence related to this case and recount the incident I am aware of."

Tang Qing paused slightly, looking at Wang Yongxin, who played the role of the "wealthy merchant."

"Mr. Wang, being a successful entrepreneur, hosts events every year on his yacht, inviting strangers he met online for a cruise.

"The three of us, along with the deceased victims of this accident—this newborn couple—were unfamiliar before the event and volunteered through online channels to be luckily selected to board this large yacht.

"On the day of the outing, we each enjoyed ourselves safely before returning to the yacht’s guest rooms to rest.

"According to the scheduled plan, we were supposed to gather the next day to introduce ourselves and get acquainted, but instead, we discovered this newborn couple had mysteriously disappeared.

"We searched every corner of the boat but ultimately found nothing.

"Mr. Wang and I immediately decided to preserve the scene and report the case. Soon after, the coast guard found the bodies of the newborn couple in the nearby sea, both drowned.

"The police searched the crime scene and their residences for a large amount of evidence and transferred it to the evidence room.

"At this point, allow me to present one of the pieces of evidence to the respected jurors."

Tang Qing turned back to his fan-shaped long table, put on white gloves, and displayed the evidence he had brought from the resting room to everyone.

The details of this piece of evidence were also synchronized on the small screens in front of all the jurors.

It’s a picture frame with a wedding photo of a newborn couple inside.

The groom appeared handsome with a high nose and deep eyes, showing distinct muscle lines and a good physique, although a small black spot was vaguely visible at the collar of the shirt.

The bride’s appearance wasn’t particularly prominent, but she had a slender figure and excellent temperament, with a delicate makeup on her face and a sweet smile.

Her eyes seemed a bit wandering, as if hiding a lot of complex emotions.

After the presentation, Tang Qing returned to his seat.

...

Wang Yongxin had been observing Lin Sizhi from the beginning of the game. At this moment, seeing Lin Sizhi and Feng Yuguang both uninterested in getting up, after a brief consideration, he was the second to walk up to the podium.

Unlike Tang Qing, he did not change his attire, still wearing his casual suit, probably thinking he could perform naturally without alteration.

"The detective has briefed the respected jurors on the basics of this case.

"As the owner of the yacht and directly responsible for this case, I am deeply grieved.

"I will present another piece of evidence and add some details.

"This event, launched online, had everyone volunteer to sign up and were randomly selected through a specific draw process, with us unfamiliar beforehand.

"I regularly organize such events to relax and unwind, also to meet more friends from various sectors.

"Especially when drawing this newborn couple, I was looking forward to everyone on the yacht sharing their happiness and joy together."

Wang Yongxin paused slightly, with a voice full of sorrow and regret, he continued:

"I never expected such a thing to happen.

"In any case, I trust the professionalism of the detective, lawyer, and doctor, and believe the jurors will see clearly and give a fair judgment.

"Here’s the piece of evidence I’m presenting: a wedding ring."

Wang Yongxin, like Tang Qing, took a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on, then went to his long table and picked up a delicate ring box.

Opening the ring box, inside was a dazzling diamond ring of suitable size, with its brilliance standing out despite the courtroom’s not-so-bright lighting.

After the presentation, Wang Yongxin bowed slightly to all jurors and returned to his seat.

At this moment, Bai Zilan got up again.

The tables of the 4 suspects and 4 jury representatives had microphones, making it unnecessary to go to the podium to speak to the entire audience.

"I propose we first verify the ’wedding photo’ to confirm its authenticity and detailed information. If the deceased aren’t these two, or if their relationship isn’t a newborn couple, then our following discussions would be meaningless."

As soon as Bai Zilan finished speaking, a prompt appeared on the screens in front of all the jurors.

{@Juror Paige Zilan suggests verifying the authenticity and detailed information of the ’wedding photo.’}

{@If 10 jurors agree to the verification, each will forfeit 500 minutes of visa time and obtain a confirmed result.}

Quickly, the number of players choosing ’verify’ reached 10, each forfeiting 500 minutes of visa time, and the verification result appeared on the small screens in front of everyone and was broadcasted synchronously.

{@The ’wedding photo’ contains no false information.}

{@The photo was taken after the deceased couple collected their marriage certificate, with no signs of manipulation or smearing beyond the studio’s standard beautification projects.}

Clearly, Bai Zilan’s move was both to verify the authenticity of the evidence and test how much extra information the ’verification’ rule specifically provides.

She seemed generally satisfied with the result, signaling Feng Yuguang and Lin Sizhi with a wave: "You may continue."

Feng Yuguang looked at Lin Sizhi, who, in turn, signaled him to take the stage first.

Feng Yuguang didn’t seem to have thought through what he wanted to say, yet he still went up to the podium to make a simple speech to all the jurors.

"Respected jurors, I am a doctor.

"But as for the details of this case, I really have no knowledge, and I don’t have clear thoughts on the current two pieces of evidence either.

"If there is evidence or testimony related to medical knowledge later, I will provide professional analysis without reservation.

"However, at present, I don’t have any particular ideas and don’t want to mislead you with rash speculation, please excuse me."

Although his profession is originally that of a doctor, he deliberately put on a white coat over his clothes this time to strengthen his professional image.

His speech, compared to the previous two, was much simpler, more like going through the motions.
