Reincarnation Paradise-Chapter 935: Number 5

Su Xiao began to summarize the known clues to determine which of the suspects best fit the hint of "broken glasses."

"The golden glasses man's glasses were only broken once."

Su Xiao looked at Third of National Soccer.

"It seems... that did happen."

Third initially suspected that the glasses man was disguised as Alice, but after getting the broken glasses hint, he dismissed this suspicion.

"Thinking about it, there aren't many suspects."

Third's eyes widened with disbelief.

"That's right, it should be him."

"What great acting."

Third, clicked his tongue in amazement, then looked solemn, clasped his hands together in front of him, and said in a deep voice:

"There is only one truth, and that is, that is... um..."

Third thought for a long time but couldn't confirm his final suspect.

"Brother Bai Ye, I keep feeling that the O+* combination looks more like a broken egg or a cracked egg?"

"Hmm?"

Su Xiao tilted his head. This clue was crucial, and Third's hint was important.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, although O+* might indicate broken glasses, I feel it's more like a broken egg."

"Broken egg..."

Su Xiao set aside the white paper and adopted a different line of thought. The O+* could represent both a broken egg and broken glass.

"Use the questioning right."

Su Xiao spoke, and a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

[Please select a target to question.]

"Question... Number 5 player."

"Wait, Brother Bai Ye, Number 5 is Catwoman, she died last night, and neither the broken egg nor broken glasses relate to her!"

Third's voice had just fallen when a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared, leaving him stunned.

[Announcement: The number 2 player used the questioning right on the Number 5 player. The questioning was successful! The number 5 player was disguised as Alice.]

"Catwoman was Alice in disguise? What's going on? My brain is burning up."

Third was bewildered, while Su Xiao exhaled in relief. Catwoman was not disguised as Alice, and she had indeed died. As for who Alice was disguised as there were further clues to deduce.

First, there were five suspects: Glasses Man, Catwoman, Pipa, Boss of National Soccer, and Second of National Soccer. Catwoman had died the previous night, and the remaining four were confined to their rooms during the day.

Su Xiao was able to identify Alice largely thanks to the clue from the lucky player: O+*.

O+* didn't represent one thing but two: broken glasses and a broken egg. Three people were related to these clues: Golden Glasses Man, Pipa, and Boss of National Soccer.

On the first floor, when everyone tried to enter Sha's room, Golden Glasses Man's glasses were broken, representing broken glasses. Boss of National Soccer and Pipa were kicked in the groin, hinting at broken eggs, though their eggs weren't broken.

Though three suspects seemed plausible, only one person was related to both broken glasses and broken eggs—the Boss of National Soccer.

The Three National Soccer Fools were the first to enter Sha's room, causing Glasses Man to enter afterwards, resulting in his glasses being broken. Boss was the reason for Glasses Man's broken glasses, as without him, Glasses Man might not have entered Sha's room.

The boss of National Soccer was kicked in the groin by Sha, linking him to both broken glasses and broken eggs, making him Alice's disguise.

The lucky player Boss of National Soccer, after racking his brain, drew O+*.

All the contractors witnessed the glasses breaking and the groin kick when entering Sha's room, prompting Boss to draw O+*, an information piece everyone could deduce.

Alice disguised herself as the Boss of National Soccer. Normally, Su Xiao should have questioned Number 6 because Boss represented Number 6.

However, Catwoman's death last night made Su Xiao change his questioning target for a simple reason.

Initially, Boss drew room number 5, while Catwoman drew number 6. After everyone entered their rooms, Boss contacted Second of National Soccer, and they played loud music, annoying Catwoman. To avoid conflict, she switched room numbers with Boss.

Did Boss decide to swap rooms? Of course not. After drawing room numbers, Boss was transported, and Alice's doppelganger replaced him, proposing the room switch.

After swapping rooms, their game numbers also switched, making Catwoman Number 5 and Boss Number 6.

Typically, if Boss were Alice, Su Xiao should have questioned Number 6. But due to Catwoman's death and the room number switch leading to the game number switch, Su Xiao questioned Number 5.

With Catwoman dead, Alice's doppelganger obtained both room numbers, 5 and 6.

Su Xiao considered that if the game rules allowed Alice's doppelganger to swap numbers with a dead player, it could simplify things. However, he thought it unlikely without certain conditions, like the questioned player couldn't swap, and only reclaiming their original number was allowed, not forcibly swapping with an unrelated dead player.

Catwoman and Boss of National Soccer's situation was such. Alice's doppelganger didn't swap room numbers; she just reclaimed her original number because she was initially Number 5.

When Boss and Catwoman initially swapped numbers, others were suspicious. Alice's luck was good, as Second and Third of National Soccer were Numbers 7 and 8. Boss wanting Number 6 made sense.

Though it made sense, the suspicion remained. Without clues, the group decided to first verify Boss, actually intending to see the reactions of Boss and Second.

Unfortunately, Third's reaction was a big surprise, looking like Alice was exposed, shocking Su Xiao, the little detective, Pipa, and Catwoman. They found Boss and Second more suspicious due to their teamwork in getting Catwoman to switch room numbers.

The first day's result showed Third wasn't Alice.

On the first night, everyone thought Catwoman might be in trouble. If she was, Boss and Second would be the prime suspects.
