Chapter 1889: The Cake of the Missing Deceased
The police who had left returned once more, and his eyes toward Little Taotie revealed a hint of peculiarity.
The audience in front of the television seemed to sense some trick from those eyes.
Soon, forums started speculating that Little Taotie was the murderer.
This is a variety show, and although some people were deeply invested because it was live, others remained rational, watching with the mentality of a detective show, trying to guess who the murderer was.
They felt it was like a scripted murder mystery, and all the guests present were like participants in the mystery.
Little Taotie might be the murderer who drew the killer role.
Someone praised, "Little Taotie’s acting is really good, you can’t tell she’s acting at all."
Someone wondered, "Is it really Little Taotie?"
The television screen switched, and the live broadcast focused on other guests.
Almost all the guests had alibis.
According to the plot development, the only unclear person now was Little Taotie.
If she were just an ordinary little girl, no one would suspect her, but she has the ability to kill a two-hundred-pound man, which inevitably makes people view her as a suspect.
As long as the surveillance isn’t repaired, as long as the video can’t be restored, her suspicion can’t be cleared, because the ten minutes she went to the bathroom coincidentally was when the deceased died.
The returning police pulled the one who had eaten the cake aside and softly asked, "Did you see a cake that looked like an avocado in the cake box?"
"Not only did I see it, but I also ate it."
"This..."
"What does this have to do with the cake?"
"Today there were only two pieces of avocado cake; one was bought by Little Taotie, and she ate it at the bar, but the other was bought by the deceased and was eaten by you."
"Are you saying... the cake belonged to the deceased but ends up with Little Taotie?"
"Is it possible that this kid did someone in... for an avocado cake?" The police made a throat-slitting gesture.
The police who ate the cake liked Little Taotie very much and didn’t believe this nonsense at all: "How could it be! She has so many cakes, there’s no need to kill over one piece! If she really killed for that avocado cake, she would’ve eaten it herself, how could she give it to me? The fact that she gave it to me shows she doesn’t care about the cake at all, so it’s impossible for her to kill over it!"
"What you say makes sense, but right now everything is against her. She can’t prove her alibi, and the deceased’s missing cake is with her. Everything points to... her!"
Gu Yixing saw them mumbling for a long time, and, in annoyance, asked, "Are we done or not, when can we leave?"
The two police turned around to look at him, their eyes surprisingly resigned.
Gu Yixing frowned.
The police who ate the cake lowered his voice: "Right now everything is very unfavorable for Little Taotie, we have to take her back to the station."
Gu Yixing never expected that not only could they not leave, but they also had to be taken to the station.
To put it nicely, it’s taking them back; to put it bluntly, it’s arresting them!
"Why! You must give me a reasonable explanation!"
"Mr. Gu, the deceased bought an avocado cake but didn’t eat it, and there is no cake in his room."
"What does this prove?"
"At that time, there were only two pieces of cake left in the cake cabinet, one was bought by Little Taotie, and the other was bought by the deceased, but now Little Taotie ate one and still had one to share with me; both cakes are with Little Taotie."
"In other words, the deceased’s missing cake appeared with Little Taotie."
