"He knows perfectly well who this rat killer is!"

"Our family has always practiced the principle of rewarding merit and punishing wrongdoing. This guy had better admit it voluntarily, otherwise, once we figure out who he is, we'll be in big trouble!"

Xia Yu swallowed silently.

He was tempted to admit it, but he was also afraid that Xia Xue would beat him up if she found out he was the one who killed the white mouse.

After thinking it over carefully, Xiaoyu decided to deny it to the death.

Xia Ze was amused to see that Xiao Yu still hadn't turned herself in.

"Since he is unwilling to admit his mistakes, let's start by analyzing Xiaobai's victimization process step by step, starting with myself."

In front of everyone, Xia Ze walked to the middle of the living room and said with a serious expression, "Based on the time, the earliest time of Xiao Bai's death is the night before last or yesterday during the day."

“The night before last, Xiaoxue and I went to Grandpa’s house, and we only got home yesterday after Xiaobai died, so I have a solid alibi.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This reasoning does indeed prove that Xia Ze is not the murderer.

After saying all this, Xia Ze returned to the sofa.

Xia Donghai glanced around and saw that no one stepped forward, but his sense of responsibility as the head of the family surged instantly.

He followed Xia Ze's example and walked to the center of the living room.

"First, I want to add that Xiaobai definitely didn't die the night before last, because I fed it this morning."

"Therefore, we can deduce that Xiaobai died yesterday during the day."

After hearing Xia Donghai's words, Xia Ze, although he knew he wasn't the murderer, still asked symbolically, "Then what were you doing yesterday, Dad?"

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became tense, and everyone cast sharp glances at Xia Donghai.

It was as if a real judge was judging a criminal.

Especially Liu Xing, who acted like an ancient judge: "Quickly tell me, what were you doing yesterday!"

Xia Donghai, feeling a bit nervous from the atmosphere, quickly looked to Liu Mei for help: "Meimei, you know..."

"Don't try to deny it. You went home at noon today. So what have you been doing all this time?"

Liu Mei, however, did not give her a chance.

She is now carrying a huge injustice. Everyone present may be a rat killer, even Xia Donghai.

"I was at home, but I was writing a script in my study in the afternoon. And later I went to pick you up from the hospital, didn't I?"

Xia Donghai works as a children's screenwriter.

Therefore, you don't need to stay at the company every day; you can write scripts at home whenever you have free time at the company.

　05 Xia Ze nodded in a mocking manner: "In that case, Dad is also a suspect."

"I'm innocent! I'm truly innocent!"

Xia Donghai never expected that holding a family meeting would lead to him being suspected of being a suspect.

This is such a misunderstanding.

Noticing that Xiaoxue was staring intently at him, Xia Donghai helplessly returned to the sofa and sat down.

Now we can only wait for other suspects to appear.

Otherwise, he would have to take the blame in the end. Thinking of this, Xia Donghai became even more determined to find the suspect.

Next up is Liu Xing.

As soon as he appeared, Liu Mei and Xia Donghai looked at him with suspicion.

In their minds, Liu Xing was the most suspicious person in the family, as he was the most mischievous child in the entire household.

Hey, why is everyone looking at me like that?

"You all don't all suspect me, do you? That would be so unfair to me." Liu Xing was getting anxious under everyone's gaze.

Although he's usually a bit mischievous, he really didn't do this.

What's so special about that little mouse? How bored must he be to play with that thing?

"Then tell me what you were doing after school yesterday?" Liu Mei asked skeptically.

Unlike Xia Ze and Xiao Xue.

Liu Xing is in junior high school this year, and there are no evening self-study sessions at school.

He gets out of school around 5 p.m. every day, and it takes him less than 20 minutes to get home from school.

They discovered the mouse was dead at around 9 p.m.

During that time, Liu Xing had every opportunity to commit the crime.

Upon hearing Liu Mei's words, Liu Xing was both angry and anxious, realizing that he had just been so protective of his mother.

In his anger, he let slip some things: "Hey, you suspect me? I have an alibi!"

What alibi do you have?

"I have witnesses; the mouse, keyboard, and the internet cafe owner can all vouch for me."

Xia Ze, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer.

Before Xiaoyu could even reveal her secret, Liu Xing was caught up in the scandal of going to the internet cafe.

This made Liu Mei remember to take a broom and teach Liu Xing a lesson.

Fortunately, Xia Donghai stopped her, saying, "Meimei, let's deal with the immediate problem first."

Stopping Liu Mei, Xia Donghai then said to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, it's your turn to explain."

"Why didn't Mom come first?" Xiaoyu asked, a little flustered.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Liu Mei didn't argue with the child and went to the living room to prove her innocence.

She first apologized to Xiaoxue, saying that she, as her mother, shouldn't have lied to her.

Xiaoxue turned her head away but didn't say anything.

Then Liu Mei continued, "But Auntie can swear to God that Xiaobai wasn't harmed by Auntie. I went to work with your dad very early yesterday."

Xia Donghai quickly confirmed, "Yes, I can prove it."

"Then when your dad and I came back that night, you were the ones who told me that Xiaobai had died. Oh right, when I left in the morning, I specifically told my dad to close Xiaobai's cage properly and I also locked the cat in the room."

After listening to Liu Mei's self-defense, Xia Xue was somewhat unsure whether what she said was true.

However, it is certain that Liu Mei is indeed afraid of mice.

Thinking back to the time a few days ago when Xiaobai had just arrived home, Liu Mei had nightmares that night, which must have been because of Xiaobai.

After Liu Mei finished speaking, she returned to the sofa.

Now only Xiaoyu has yet to prove his innocence, and everyone is staring at him.

Xiaoyu felt flustered under everyone's gaze.

But in order to cover it up, he slowly walked to the center of the living room.

"Well, I also have an alibi. That day I went downstairs to find Weiwei and Duoduo to play on the slide."

After saying that, Xiaoyu ran back to the sofa and sat cross-legged, feeling guilty.

No one suspected anything when they heard this.

Xia Ze didn't say anything, but continued to guide everyone to find the truth.

"Then things get a bit complicated since everyone has an alibi. How about we simulate what happened?"

"Great! This looks fun, I'll go first." Liu Xing immediately became interested upon hearing this.

He took the initiative to step forward and analyze the events, just like Sherlock Holmes.

But Liu Xing's analysis was simply a fantasy to everyone else.

On a dark and stormy night, a lonely mouse locked in a cage needs to play video games.

In the end, not only did they fail to find any results, but they also exposed their secret practice of making copies of their house keys.

"Xiaoyu, Liu Xing has finished speaking, it's your turn to analyze." Xia Ze interrupted Liu Xing and walked behind Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu wanted to stall for time after hearing Xia Ze's words.

Seeing that everyone else was staring at him, Xiaoyu didn't dare to refuse anymore.

"Well, I think the mouse definitely couldn't have opened the cage by itself; it must have been opened by someone else."

“That’s right, go on.” Xia Ze looked at Xiao Yu with a smile.

Xiaoyu felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at anyone else, so she just kept her head down and rambled on and on.

"I think the person who opened the cage definitely didn't do it on purpose; he certainly didn't want to kill the mice."
