Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

"The room's doors and windows were intact, with no signs of forced entry or prying. The victim, Motis, was brutally tortured unconscious. She was severely dehydrated and unconscious. No fingerprints or traces of the perpetrator were found at the scene, making it impossible to identify the culprit at this time."

Chapter 138, The Magical Girl's Witch Trial

"The Locked Room Q Case?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the girls present changed their expressions drastically and burst into a clamor.

The bright smile on Magical Girl Mu☆Mu☆Lu's face vanished completely, replaced by intense anger and confusion. She clenched her hands, trying to suppress her rage: "We residents live together day and night, like sisters. The Q power is supposed to bring joy and warmth to each other, so why did this malicious Q-person happen!"

Officer Rabbit's gaze swept over everyone present, his eyes impartial and authoritative:

"The situation is critical. We will set up a temporary court. Here, I give the murderer one last chance to confess and stand up to the hotel rules. If he refuses to plead guilty, once his identity is discovered, he will be permanently banned from QQ Space and subjected to endless QQ torture, never to escape!"

The atmosphere instantly became extremely oppressive!

The chuunibyou (delusional) girl, Mu Naxu, huddled in the corner, slowly raised her head, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Cheng Cheng: "All the residents live in harmony and never fight amongst themselves... But this newcomer, Hakimi Mambo, arrived at the hotel and this horrific locked-room murder case happened. Do you think it could be..."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was like a sharp knife, instantly drawing everyone's attention to Cheng Cheng.

A barrage of suspicious and scrutinizing gazes fell upon Cheng Cheng.

“It wasn’t me,” Cheng Cheng retorted naturally. “My Q power is only at level three, how could I possibly beat Metis with my Q?”

"Oh, really?"

Officer Rabbit immediately stepped forward, approaching Cheng Cheng, his gaze falling on his hands—Cheng Cheng's palms showed obvious signs of dampness, which was particularly noticeable in the dim light.

The suspicions intensified instantly.

"Then why are your hands wet?" Officer Rabbit pressed closer. "Come here, let me smell them!"

Cheng Cheng: "I went out for a while..."

"With such heavy rain and no umbrellas in the hotel, going out would only get you completely soaked. How could it be just your fingers getting wet?"

Cheng Cheng activated his Sacred Domain to block the rain, but he accidentally wiped the wet doorknob as he entered.

Cheng Cheng naturally couldn't explain this, so he could only reach out his hand, which was grabbed by Officer Rabbit and then sniffed around.

“There’s no fishy smell.” Officer Rabbit said, sticking out his tongue and quickly licking Cheng Cheng’s finger. “There’s no saltiness either, so it shouldn’t be Metis’s.”

Cheng Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, although the water in the sky is called rain, it has nothing to do with the Cave of Sorrowful Rain Realm, otherwise I would have been speechless.

Cheng Cheng: "That's why I said, it wasn't me at all..."

"But why did you go out in such a downpour tonight? Your whereabouts are unknown at the time of the incident, so you can't clear your name." Officer Rabbit reasoned meticulously. "I suspect that after you had sex with Metis, you went to wash your hands to clear yourself of suspicion?"

Cheng Cheng: "Really, no, I really went out for a bit. I had a craving for a cigarette and wanted to see if there was a convenience store nearby!"

Rabbit Officer: "Swoosh!"

Cheng Cheng: "???"

Taking advantage of Cheng Cheng's momentary lapse in attention, Officer Rabbit quickly stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, stuck out her little tongue, and licked Cheng Cheng's face!

"This smell...it's the smell of lies! Hakimi Mambo!"

Cheng Cheng: "Huh?"

"I can tell if someone is lying, and I've never been wrong," Officer Rabbit licked his lips. "The skin on your face shines because of 'sweat,' right? That's how I tell. As long as I can taste the 'sweat,' I'm confident I can make a judgment!"

"What the hell are you talking about..."

“Hakimi Mambo! Why would you tell such a lie? This is the only hotel for hundreds of miles around, isn’t that common sense?” Officer Rabbit became increasingly suspicious. “Besides, the hotel has a convenience store that sells tobacco, although only I and the Great Love Immortal Venerable among the guests smoke.”

"Stop your noisy lies... If you don't tell the truth, I'll issue an arrest warrant on behalf of the hotel court!"

Sigh, that's how it is in an all-female court.

Cheng Cheng sighed: "Okay, I just like the rain, I like exercising in the rain. I just walked a long way in the rain."

After all, I'm a sports student, so it's normal for me to like exercising regardless of the weather, right?

Cheng Cheng heard from his high school classmates that there was a classmate named Jiahao who also liked to exercise in the rain, but unfortunately, Cheng Cheng never got to see him.

"Without an umbrella, how did you...?"

"Just for this!"

Cheng Cheng took the initiative to activate his Sacred Domain, and the pale golden light pushed away the crowd surrounding him!

“This is my Q ability,” Cheng Cheng explained. “It can isolate everything within its range, including rainwater… I got it on my hands when I opened the door, now you believe me?”

"There's even this kind of Q ability..."

Officer Rabbit hesitated. Just as she was about to continue deducing the culprit, Mortis, who had been unconscious on the bed, suddenly coughed softly and slowly opened her eyes.

"Metis!" Officer Rabbit turned around immediately and rushed to the bedside. "Great, you're awake! Doctor, come quick, doctor, please help!"

"We don't have a doctor here!" Magical girl Mumu panicked. "I don't know healing magic either..."

Cheng Cheng sighed. Freya was the one who knew healing magic, but he hadn't learned it. He only knew how to play with fire and authority in a simple and crude way.

“Let me do it,” unexpectedly, the chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) girl Mu Naoxu stepped forward, “After all, I study economics—while you are all playing QQ games, I am the only one studying economics and stocks, which is...you know what I mean?”

Officer Rabbit: "Wait, what does studying economics have to do with being a doctor?"

Mu Naixu raised her head arrogantly: "If it's related, then it's related."

"I don't understand what the hell you're saying."

That's just how the world is; some people know they have connections, while others comfort themselves by saying they don't.

“…Let me do it.” Cheng Cheng sighed. “I know a little medicine.”

After all, as athletes, heatstroke and injuries are common, and they will use first-aid kits more or less.

The group exchanged glances and then Officer Rabbit stepped aside to let Cheng Cheng try it out.

Cheng Cheng stepped forward, looked at the extremely weak Motis, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

“My heart,” Mortis gasped, “I feel like my heart is about to stop.”

Heart?

But I'm not a psychologist.

Cheng Cheng thought for a moment and hesitated before saying, "Since it's the Q case, how about this: take off your skirt and let me see the wound, okay?"

Even though she was physically weak, Motis was still a little shy: "Here, with so many people around, I feel a little embarrassed."

"It's alright, I have medical ethics." Cheng Cheng held up four fingers. "I promise you, I won't look at you even once you're undressed!"

Metis: "...If you're not going to look, then why should I take my clothes off?"

Magical Girl Mu☆Mu☆Lu & Mu Nao & Little Mu: "We want to see it!"

Mortis: "..."

"Forget it, I feel finding the killer is more important than treating Metis." Officer Rabbit felt Cheng Cheng was really unreliable, so she squeezed forward. "Metis, did you see who the killer was?"

After all, it's a case of homicide. Motis can just drink some water and rest for a few days and she'll be fine; but if the murderer continues to homicide people and hurts other sisters, or even Xiao Xiao Mu, that would be bad.

Maitis's eyes were glazed over, her consciousness was still hazy, and her breath was weak. She nodded gently: "I saw it clearly... but I don't know who the murderer is. I can only describe what she looks like."

Officer Rabbit immediately took out paper and pen from his pocket and waited attentively:

"You tell me, I'll draw."

Motis caught her breath and slowly began to describe the killer's appearance, word by word:

"The murderer had waist-length, light bluish-green hair with neat, straight bangs that just covered his eyebrows. The ends of his hair were trimmed very neatly, and the hair on both sides fell naturally over his shoulders. His eyes were almond-shaped with light golden pupils and long, thick eyelashes. His gaze was cold and distant. His eyebrows were the same light color as his hair and were mostly covered by his bangs, so only a small outline could be seen."

"The bridge of the nose is straight, the root of the nose is well-defined, and the lines are soft rather than harsh. The lips are thin and the color is very light. The face shape is oval to V-shaped, with a smooth jawline, and the lines of the whole face are particularly soft."

She described it in great detail, and Officer Rabbit wrote quickly, sketching a complete face with just a few strokes, capturing every detail perfectly.

She held up the drawing paper and looked at the newly awakened Mortis:

"Metis, look, is she the murderer?"

The faces on the drawing paper were clearly displayed before everyone's eyes—

"..."

The entire room fell into a deathly silence.

The air froze, and everyone looked at each other blankly: "Is this... any different from saying nothing at all?"

As the saying goes, ugly people are ugly in countless ways, while beautiful people are beautiful in all the same way—without a doubt, everyone here is beautiful.

Since everyone looks like this, it's impossible to identify the murderer based solely on this physical description.

"Did you... see the killer's clothes clearly? What were they wearing? Were there any special accessories?" Officer Rabbit hesitated. "Without clothes, it's impossible to tell!"

Metis blinked her bewildered eyes and said weakly, "She's here to investigate the Q case... how could she possibly come dressed?"

That's true.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zimi fell into a deathly silence.

All clues have been exhausted, and all breakthroughs have been completely blocked—this locked-room Q case that took place in a hotel on a rainy night has fallen into an unsolvable deadlock.

"Well... at least Hakimi Mambo has been cleared of suspicion." Officer Rabbit sighed, bowing to Cheng Cheng in apology. "I'm sorry I suspected you before."

"It's nothing," Cheng Cheng waved his hand. "It's my duty, I understand."

“Since we can’t directly identify the culprit, let’s investigate the victim’s interpersonal relationships.” Officer Rabbit sighed. “Metis, who do you think is most likely to do something like this?”

"Yes Yes……"

Before Motis could finish speaking, she fainted again.

"Little Mu, look after Metis and help her hydrate." Officer Rabbit sighed, getting out of bed. "The rest of you, come with me to the auditorium—"

"Prepare for the 'Magical Girl's Witch Trial'."

Magical Girl's Witch Trial.

This is a self-correction mechanism established by the Mu Zimi group—when a Mu Zimi commits a crime that affects everyone, the Mu Zimi group discusses and holds a referendum to determine who the Mu Zimi who committed the crime is and decides whether to "punish" them.
