Watch Closely, This Is How You Play a Murder Mystery

[Infinite Flow] [Mystery] [Detective Cases] [Ensemble Cast]

Other people quick transmigrate into the roles of chosen ones blessed by fate and get scripts about turning their lives around.

But I'm Chen Qinghe, an ordinary mystery writer. Every time I open my eyes, the System coldly informs me:

“Congratulations. Your role this round: murderer.”

“Your task: commit the perfect crime and evade identification.”

The detective is my enemy, my companions are my pawns, and my tears are props.

There's no do-over and no getting lucky. Every vote is a matter of life and death.

Either I deceive everyone and survive until the next script,

or I'm voted out and face my “final act.”

...Then let the game begin.

Everyone, be careful. The real culprit is among you.

The following are things to be aware of:

1. The story includes characters playing against their gender. I've read female-oriented stories with gender-swapped roles too, and isn't gender-swapping normal in murder-mystery games? If you can't stand it, just leave. I've already given you a heads-up, so don't come here to insult me in the comments. Thanks.

2. Not every part of the story takes place in an instance. There will also be scenes from the characters' real lives.

3. There may occasionally be meme references.

4. The female lead is a popular-with-everyone type, and the overall plot logic isn't particularly rigorous.

5. There will be scenes that tease potential couples, but no pairings are officially confirmed. The author simply likes the setup of “multiple people revolving around the female lead,” though the female lead has no romantic feelings for any of these characters.

5. Not every instance follows the standard murder-mystery game format.

If any of these points bother you, please consider whether this is the right story for you.
