Hearing Xiao Yi talking to himself, everyone in the live stream was also confused.
"Snowy Wind Mountain Temple, why suddenly bring up the Snowy Wind Mountain Temple?"
"'Water Margin', Chapter Ten, Lin Jiaotou at the Snowy Wind Mountain Temple. But how is that related to the current situation? I totally can't figure out what Brother Xiao Yi is thinking."
"To be honest, not understanding might actually be a good thing."
A barrage of comments agreeing with "indeed" floated past.
Then, a comment finally enlightened everyone about the meaning of the Snowy Wind Mountain Temple.
"Uh... is there a possibility he actually meant to talk about Stormy Snow Mountain Villa?"
"..."
"Damn! So that's what it was! That's how he connected these two?"
"Lin Chong would probably be so mad he'd flip his coffin lid if he knew."
"It would be Shi Nai'an flipping it, right?"
"No, why are you all discussing this? Has no one noticed what just flashed by in Brother Xiao Yi's hands?"
"..."
"Holy shit! He actually had a phone!"
"Isn't that basically a phone right there!?"
However, by now, Xiao Yi had already put away his phone and hadn't even given his phone another glance.
"... He couldn't possibly not know what the thing in his hand is used for, could he?"
"Don't make it awkward; can you even call the police in an abnormal instance? Maybe Brother Xiao Yi thought of that and decided not to use the phone."
However, at this moment, Xiao Yi said to Maria:
"Your family really doesn't even have a phone? What era is this? Well, no phone means no way to call the police. Never mind, we'll have to solve the mystery ourselves."
"..." A moment of silence in the live stream.
"I'm very sorry," Maria said. "Our Xiao Ni doesn't like to be disturbed, so we had destroyed all phones a long time ago."
"Xiao Ni... that nickname really breaks the immersion. Change the phrase, and that's essentially 'Ni-chan.'"
"Ni-chan, huh? Quite a big play from Japanese people."
"What's the big deal? I'm still waiting for Brother Xiao Yi to take in Maria. Her husband is dead, she's a widow now, I hope Brother Xiao Yi won't let her stay widowed!"
"…? Cool down a bit, the person from Japan in front, would you mind changing your IP to the Japanese region first?"
Affected by Xiao Yi, people in the Dragon Country live stream even started to casually chat.
Being casual in an abnormal instance live stream? That's something people from other countries wouldn't even dare to think about! It's supposed to be an eerie, horrific, and tense atmosphere, right?
But people from other countries could do nothing but envy, for they didn't have Xiao Yi.
Nevertheless, that did not mean there were no people in the Dragon Country live stream seriously analyzing the situation.
"Wait a minute, I remember Rule Nine saying the person on the phone might offer help, meaning there actually is a phone in the Western-style mansion!"
"Indeed, which means Maria is intentionally hiding the presence of the phone to prevent the person on it from offering help!"
However, no matter how much they discussed here, it wouldn't affect Xiao Yi in the abnormal instance.
Xiao Yi looked toward Hannibal's body and said to Maria, "First step, let's investigate the body. The forensic scientist is the only one who can speak for the deceased, though we're not forensic scientists, we can still try to find some truth from the body. Aunt Maria, let's start."
"Aunt Maria?" This address made Maria falter for a moment, yet she did not dwell on it, as investigating the truth was more pressing at the moment.
"…Okay."
The two began examining Hannibal's body.
"…There are no gunshot wounds, so now it can be confirmed I didn't shoot the Professor, right Aunt Maria?"
"Hmm, there is only one obvious wound on Xiao Ni," Maria said as she picked up Hannibal's hand. "He has a severe burn on his hand."
Xiao Yi looked at the shockingly twisted piece of flesh, momentarily taken aback.
"It looks horrific, but what exactly could have caused such a burn?"
Xiao Yi looked around the kitchen and then his gaze stopped at the stove.
More precisely, it stopped at the glowing red pot.
Xiao Yi, somewhat astonished, walked over to turn off the burner and wondered, "Who turned on the burner?"
"Wasn't it you?" joked a comment.
"It looks like Xiao Ni was burned by this pot." Maria asked, "Do you know who turned on the burner?"
"I'm not sure," replied Xiao Yi, shaking his head. "At the time, only the Professor and I were in the kitchen. The Professor couldn't have burned himself. It must have been a third party, other than us. That means! The person who turned on the burner is very likely the killer!"
A comment floated by: "You know, that conclusion is actually correct."
Xiao Yi then looked towards the door, his expression darkening slightly, and analyzed, "At that moment, I did not notice anyone entering. If it wasn't remotely done, it must have been someone who either came from another direction or was hiding in the kitchen from the start."
However, there were no other entrances in the kitchen besides that door, and the kitchen was quite spacious with nowhere to hide.
This caused Xiao Yi's deduction to hit an impasse.
Just then, Xiao Yi suddenly turned toward the large piece of meat with the spine next to the stove.
He seemed to think of something and asked Maria,
"Aunt Maria, what kind of meat is this?"
"Uh…" Maria hesitated for a moment before she stammered, "It's beef. There are always some stray wild bulls that get lost near here; Xiao Ni used to hunt them for fun, so we never run short of meat at home."
Maria's words caused the live chat to buzz even more.
"The sudden silence is rather thought-provoking; whether it's truly beef is up for debate."
"Your silence is deafening!"
"On another note, Xiao Yi now really exudes the aura of a detective! If I didn't know his IQ was only 6, I'd think he was some kind of detective."
The audience only then noticed Xiao Yi, who was deeply contemplating while stroking his chin and staring at that piece of beef, indeed giving the erroneous impression of being highly intelligent.
Then, Xiao Yi seemingly had an epiphany and said, "I know who the killer is! The truth has already bloomed and borne fruit in my mind."
"…What?" The people in the live room were momentarily stunned.
"Who is it!?" Maria asked anxiously.
"Huh…"
Xiao Yi smiled confidently and with a grand gesture, pointed at the beef!
"Besides the Professor and me, there was only this piece of beef in the kitchen! Hunted by humans, the bull must surely despise the person who killed it. So, it cast a curse—anyone who wished to consume it would be scorched to death by the fires of Hell!"
"By eliminating all possibilities, what remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth! So, I declare, Professor! You were killed by the bull!"
