This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

However, He Yu remained completely calm.

“Oh. That’s normal.”

Everyone: “???”

Normal??

【Audience: “......” What part of this is normal?!】

Wanrenzhan looked incredulous. “Didn’t you understand? If your left-handed theory is correct, then the gatekeeper absolutely cannot be the murderer. We’ve been investigating the wrong person!”

He Yu raised an eyebrow. “Did I ever say I thought the gatekeeper was the murderer?”

Everyone: “......”

Thinking about it carefully...

He really hadn’t.

The ones insisting the gatekeeper was the murderer had always been them.

Not only had He Yu never said it, he had even stopped them from attacking the gatekeeper...

“You can’t seriously mean you were always certain the gatekeeper wasn’t the murderer?” Qiong’s eyes widened.

He Yu shook his head.

Before they could relax, he added calmly,

“Only ninety percent certain.”

Everyone: “......”

Ninety percent...

Wanrenzhan refused to believe it. “Bullshit. How did you rule him out? And besides, the gatekeeper had the highest probability out of everyone. Maybe your left-handed theory itself is wrong!”

His eyes were filled with suspicion.

When two deductions conflicted, why couldn’t He Yu’s deduction be the mistaken one?

He Yu walked toward the food counter and smiled at the person serving food inside.

“Uncle, you’re personally serving food today?”

—Inside stood the cafeteria uncle with the bad back.

The cafeteria uncle still wore the same Maitreya-like smile.

“Aiya, hasn’t the school been chaotic lately? We’re short on staff. Besides, there aren’t many students eating anymore, so I let the others take a break.”

He skillfully swung the giant serving spoon.

“Teacher He, why are you eating here too? What would you like?”

Wanrenzhan opened his mouth again when he realized He Yu was ignoring him.

Beside him, Eugene tugged his sleeve and signaled with his eyes that now was not the time to speak.

Wanrenzhan was hotheaded when facing He Yu, but he wasn’t stupid.

There were school NPCs here. This wasn’t the place to discuss that topic.

He shut his mouth, though his gaze remained fixed on He Yu’s back with extreme hostility.

—Every time he saw the cafeteria uncle, he remembered the equipment he missed out on.

All because of He Yu!

He Yu smiled and replied,

“A few students wanted to ask me questions, so I accompanied them to the student cafeteria. Besides, maybe your cooking is even better, Uncle. I’ll take these two dishes.”

The cafeteria uncle became even happier upon hearing that and cheerfully scooped out two huge portions.

“Of course it is! I’m not bragging, but everyone who’s eaten my cooking says it’s good. Way better than the people cooking in your teachers’ cafeteria!”

He Yu accepted the tray and glanced at the overly full portions casually.

“It’s already this late. Why is there still so much food left? Didn’t the students come eat?”

The cafeteria uncle’s expression immediately became complicated.

He secretly glanced outside before leaning closer to the window and lowering his voice.

“Teacher He isn’t an outsider, so I’ll secretly tell you.”

He Yu leaned closer.

The others instantly pricked up their ears. The cafeteria fell silent as they listened carefully.

—Information!

The cafeteria uncle whispered especially softly:

“This school’s probably finished.”

“A lot of students transferred out today. After something like this happened—and after it became such a huge issue—how many students would still dare stay?”

“If you all have connections, you should transfer away quickly too.”

The nine contestants looked disappointed.

They had thought this was some important clue.

But wasn’t this obvious?

Eight people had already died in the murder case, and the killer still hadn’t been caught.

How many students would still dare remain at Dawn Training School?

There was nothing surprising about it.

Which also made it unimportant.

But He Yu seemed genuinely interested and continued the conversation.

“Really? Then what about you, Uncle?”

The cafeteria uncle waved the ladle and sighed.

“Well, the month isn’t over yet. I’ll leave after I get this month’s paycheck. My back isn’t good either. Better retire early.”

He shook his head helplessly.

“This school... nobody dares stay.”

He Yu nodded in agreement.

“Yeah. This school really isn’t a place people dare stay.”

After saying that, he stepped aside with his tray, allowing the cafeteria uncle to serve food for the others.

Aside from Eugene and Gedai, everyone else got food.

When it was Wanrenzhan’s turn, the uncle greeted him cheerfully.

“Aiya, isn’t this our model student?”

Wanrenzhan: “......”

His face instantly darkened.

Eugene burst out laughing.

Hearing that title reminded them all of earlier events.

The cafeteria uncle smiled.

“I’ll give you extra.”

Wanrenzhan utterly failed to appreciate the gesture. He practically snatched the tray away and turned to glare viciously at He Yu like he wanted to devour him alive.

He Yu looked perfectly innocent.

The cafeteria uncle muttered,

“This young man is still so fierce.”

He Yu carried his tray to a corner table and sat down.

Wanrenzhan slammed his own tray down opposite him with a violent bang, his eyes savage.

“One day I’m going to carve you into a thousand pieces!”

—His equipment!!

He had already fallen behind the other experts during the preliminary round because of He Yu.

And now this instance had cost him equipment too because of He Yu.

He hated him so much he wanted to bite him to death.

Zhen Xing and Eugene sat down on either side of He Yu.

Eugene immediately asked impatiently,

“You still haven’t explained. How did you know the gatekeeper wasn’t the murderer?”

This time, He Yu didn’t keep them hanging.

While eating, he explained casually,

“I tested him.”

“I used the excuse that the Federation was sending people to catch the murderer. His reaction gave him away.”

Qiong quickly asked, “What reaction?”

Instead of answering directly, He Yu asked them back,

“What kind of reaction do you think a murderer would have?”

Cheng Zhao thought for a moment before replying seriously,

“The murderer would be nervous?”

Gedai immediately refuted him.

“A murderer wouldn’t expose themselves that easily. He’s hidden inside the school this long and killed so many people without being exposed. There’s no way he’d show obvious abnormalities in front of others.”

Cheng Zhao frowned in confusion.

“So the murderer would have no reaction at all? Completely normal? Then what reaction did the gatekeeper have?”

Yuan Ze shook his head.

“No. Judging based on reactions is unreasonable.”

Seeing everyone look at him, Yuan Ze calmly analyzed,

“If he’s nervous, he could be the murderer.”

“If he isn’t nervous and shows no reaction, he could also still be the murderer.”

“Since both outcomes lead to the same conclusion, his reaction can’t prove anything.”

“So what reaction did he have?” Tang Ke looked at He Yu curiously.

The others also stared at him, waiting for an answer.

He Yu swallowed the food in his mouth and replied calmly,

“He had no abnormal reaction whatsoever.”

Before anyone could object, he continued:

“But the fact that he had no reaction is precisely the problem.”

“As Youmo’s childhood friend’s father—as someone who watched Youmo grow up—would he really have no reaction whatsoever upon learning that the unknown murderer avenging Youmo was about to be caught?”

“If he had no reaction, then that means he was hiding something.”

“All the outside information I know came from the newspapers he provided.”

“He pays extremely close attention to the outside world.”

“He pays extremely close attention to the S-class detectives and the Federation’s attitude.”

He Yu lifted his head and looked at Wanrenzhan across from him.

“But he absolutely is not the murderer.”

“Precisely because he pays attention.”

Eugene suddenly slapped the table in realization.

“Right!”

“The fact that he pays so much attention to the outside world and cares whether the murderer will be exposed proves he isn’t the murderer!”

“The murderer’s actions are insane. What they’d care about is the killers of Anna and Youmo—about avenging them.”

“Usually, the people worried whether the outside world will discover the murderer are those helping hide the murderer. The ones afraid the murderer will be exposed!”

He Yu had already ruled the gatekeeper out because of this point.

Meanwhile, they themselves only eliminated him today through definitive evidence.

He Yu nodded and gave Eugene an approving look.

“Exactly.”

“That’s also why I became certain the murderer has an accomplice.”

“The gatekeeper is the one helping hide them.”

Everyone’s expressions immediately became complicated as they looked at He Yu.

While they were all still busy suspecting the gatekeeper—

This man had already concluded that the gatekeeper was not the murderer, but rather the person protecting the murderer.

Really...

He had left them far behind.

At this moment, the barrage had already gone insane—

“Holy shit holy shit! I once again think this garbage planet native with eight combat power is insanely awesome!”

“I support He Yu. I voted for him.”

“No seriously, you people actually support a garbage planet native now? His combat power is terrible!”

“Didn’t you watch the stream this morning? Combat power seems kinda useless in front of He Yu.”

“Speaking of which, Blue Star novels are really good.”

“Which one are you reading? Recommend something. Any bad endings?”

...

He Yu ate seriously before suddenly sighing emotionally,

“The cafeteria uncle’s cooking really is delicious. His skills are genuinely impressive.”

Everyone: “?”

Wasn’t that topic jump a little too abrupt?

He Yu looked toward the food in front of Eugene and Gedai.

“So Mechanical Planet people need food too?”

Eugene subconsciously answered,

“We’re still people, of course we want to eat. But we won’t die if we don’t.”

Mechanical Planet people were still different from ordinary humans.

Hearing this, He Yu sighed wistfully.

“They can fight, they’re practical, and they don’t even need food. If I could hire two Mechanical Planet people to keep at home, that’d be pretty nice.”

Eugene, Gedai: “......”

Gedai’s face darkened.

“Dream on.”

Eugene blinked.

“You could consider marrying a Mechanical Planet man. Or marrying a Mechanical Planet woman.”

There weren’t many Mechanical Planet people in District Two, but every single one of them was proud.

They weren’t ordinary robots.

Wanrenzhan was already irritated by He Yu, especially after getting humiliated again earlier. He snorted coldly.

“If you’re so amazing, then tell us.”

“Who do you think the murderer is?”

The gatekeeper wasn’t the murderer.

So who was?

Every suspect they’d had so far had been overturned.

The study committee member—eliminated.

The grade director—eliminated.

The gatekeeper—also eliminated.

They no longer even had a suspect.

He Yu glanced at Wanrenzhan calmly before shifting his gaze toward the serving counter, looking at the cafeteria uncle casually as he sighed:

“You know... there really are a lot of people in this school whose body shape resembles the murderer.”

The group turned their heads and looked toward the cafeteria uncle.

—And honestly, his build really did match.

The cafeteria uncle looked fatter at first glance, but that was mostly visual illusion caused by loose flesh and a round face.

Comparing body shape carefully...

He actually fit pretty well.

“Him? Seriously?” Annie frowned.

He Yu shrugged.

“Who knows?”

Wanrenzhan sneered again.

“Then tell us this. Is there any way to identify the murderer?”

“Aren’t you supposed to be incredibly smart?”

He straightened up and stared down at He Yu, trying to overwhelm him through sheer presence.

Hearing that, He Yu raised an eyebrow.

Then he pushed up his glasses.

Just a simple movement instantly shifted the atmosphere around him.

Calm.

Composed.

In contrast, Wanrenzhan suddenly looked like a huge idiot.

He Yu said:

“I actually do have a method.”

He paused before curling his lips slightly.

“But let me warn you first.”

“If you use this method, I’m not responsible for any terrible consequences.”

Everyone froze.

Gedai eyed him suspiciously.

“What method?”

He Yu lowered his voice and quietly muttered a few sentences.

Eugene’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Finally, he slapped the table excitedly.

“This method is great! Why would you think it could cause terrible consequences?”

He Yu spread [N O V E L I G H T] his hands helplessly.

“Because the murderer has an accomplice.”

Annie said indifferently,

“So what if there’s an accomplice?”

“We can’t refuse to act just because of that. Otherwise we’ll never clear the instance.”

“At that point, as long as someone keeps the accomplice occupied while we kill the murderer, we succeed.”

He Yu nodded.

“Alright.”

“If you think it’s workable, then let’s try it.”

Zhen Xing suddenly raised his hand.

“I have a question.”

Everyone looked at him.

Zhen Xing said,

“The murderer has invisibility equipment. They won’t reveal themselves, and we can’t get close.”

“So how are we supposed to kill them?”

“Does any of you have equipment capable of immobilizing the murderer?”

Instantly, everyone fell silent.

Eugene shook his head.

Qiong, Cheng Zhao, Gedai, Yuan Ze, and the others all shook their heads too.

Wanrenzhan only possessed a single axe as equipment, so his expression darkened further as he remained silent.

He Yu blinked innocently before suddenly speaking.

“I think...”

“I might have a piece of equipment capable of remotely immobilizing someone temporarily.”

Wanrenzhan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Why the hell do you have so many ridiculous overpowered items?!”

He Yu looked perfectly innocent.

Barrage: “???”

Barrage: “...Is it the thing I’m thinking of?”

Barrage: “...Probably.”

Holy shit.

That thing was about to come out and terrorize people again!
