Yanxun entered the "Liyuan Murder Case" script for the first time and got the identity of the "suspect" - the famous actor "Boss Su" who died backstage in 1943 and turned into a dead soul. When searching for evidence, he suddenly identified him as the murderer. In a panic, he discovered that the other players had their own hidden agendas: the seemingly innocent female student was hiding old photos from the Republic of China, and the businessman players were frequently destroying clues.
The system prompts that "the deceased's speech contains key information." Yanxun takes the risk to violate the rule of "not looking into the eyes of the deceased" and asks about the "half piece of dragon-patterned jade pendant" that Boss Su saw before he died.
