This Actor Is Full Of Tricks

Lin Jue meticulously searched the room, wanting to see if there were any more clues about Fu Yu.

He wanted to understand all of this character's experiences.

Finally, he found a rusty iron box at the bottom of the closet, the box secured with a lock.

Could it be opened with that small key?

Lin Jue took out the small key, and it smoothly inserted into the keyhole. With a gentle turn, the lock was opened.

Inside the box, there was only a yellowed notebook.

Opening the notebook, it was Fu Yu's diary. The first entry was dated May 31st of this year.

【May 31st, Sunny】

【Today I moved into a new home. Although the environment and surrounding facilities are not very good, the advantage is that it's cheap. The rent is only 400 a month. If I can't find a job, I might not even be able to afford this place.】

【But what kind of job can a disabled person like me find?】

400 a month for rent, it seems the place mentioned here is the current Room 2.

Fu Yu's handwriting was very neat, each stroke making it very comfortable to read. As the saying goes, 'the writing reflects the person.' Judging solely from this handwriting, it's hard to imagine Fu Yu as a cold-blooded killer.

Lin Jue continued to flip through it.

【June 1st, Sunny】

【This place is an urban village. There are too few residents and shops nearby. I walked several hundred meters before seeing a shop open. When I was choosing daily necessities, the owner told me that the building I live in isn't clean.】

【He said that the building used to house an old couple who relied on each other, having no children. But one day, a salesman targeted the old couple.】

【He was very attentive to the old people, often bringing things to visit them. He also busied himself helping when the old people were sick. This made the childless old people gradually lower their guard and unhesitatingly buy a large number of health products from him.】

【Until the old people's money was completely drained, the salesman never appeared again, leaving behind a pile of useless products.】

【The old couple lost all their money. Unable to bear the blow, they drank pesticide at home.】

【Since then, it seems that the old people's cries can always be heard in that building at night, shouting things like 'Return the money!'】

This entry ends with an abnormal life record, incorporating a ghost story into the diary.

【June 2nd, Cloudy】

【Today, I heard some rumors from the shop owner about the landlord…】

This entry had the latter part torn off. What exactly were these rumors about the landlord?

Lin Jue frowned slightly. Why was this entry torn off?

He flipped further back. June 3rd was a rainy day. There was only one sentence in the diary.

【Li Mingcheng, Director of Human Resources, Kangning Technology Co., Ltd.】

This sentence recorded a person's name, followed by their corresponding workplace and position.

"Rainy day… Could this Li Mingcheng have been killed by Fu Yu on June 3rd?"

Lin Jue continued to flip through. He could take some time later to investigate this company.

The next date was six days later, also a rainy day. It contained two names.

【Liao Fei, Zhou Yanan, residing at 1801, Building 9, Tianchen Community】

This looked like a married couple. Were they also people killed by Fu Yu?

After that, there were basically no more daily life records, only names and information written down on rainy days.

Lin Jue counted, a total of thirteen names.

If his guess was true, then this represented thirteen lives!

Daily records resumed in mid-August, writing about a couple who moved into Room 3 that day and became Fu Yu's neighbors.

According to the diary description, the wife in that couple was named Wu Fang, a housewife who liked sculpting. She brought many strange human head sculptures when she moved in.

And the husband's name, in Fu Yu's diary, was a pen name, Feng Jue Shisan, an unrecognized novelist who wrote several horror novels, but no magazine accepted them. However, this Feng Jue Shisan self-published several copies and even sold one to Fu Yu.

The novel's name was Trap.

Lin Jue remembered that among the novels on the desk, there was indeed one called that.

But what Lin Jue was more concerned about was the woman named Wu Fang. She liked sculpting, and there was also a two-star script in the system called "Model", which was also related to sculpture.

Was there any connection between the two?

Lin Jue took the diary and sat down at the desk, changing to a comfortable position to continue reading.

【August 21st, Sunny】

【Tonight, Sister Fang and Brother Shisan started arguing again. They were arguing fiercely. I was already asleep, but I was woken up.】

【I eavesdropped on their argument against the wall. It seemed that Sister Fang was caught cheating by Brother Shisan.】

【The two became more and more agitated. Later, it seemed like they even started fighting. There was a clattering sound. They fought harder and harder, and then I heard Sister Fang's scream.】

【Then there was a thud, and the next door became quiet.】

【August 22nd, Cloudy】

【Today, I didn't see Brother Shisan, but I secretly looked into their room. There was a sculpture inside.】

The diary was blank after that.

"Feng Jue Shisan disappeared, and then there was a sculpture in the room. Did that Wu Fang kill her husband and then turn him into a sculpture?"

"That Wu Fang has many strange sculptures. Could those all be people killed by this woman?"

"Fu Yu should be dead. Did he discover Wu Fang's secret, and the two killers had a conflict, and in the end, Fu Yu was killed and turned into a sculpture?"

"Then Wu Fang took all the sculptures and moved away. Calculating this way, the landlord previously said that Fu Yu disappeared for a month, which could just coincide with the time in the diary, differing by no more than a week."

"So the real Fu Yu's body might be with that Wu Fang?"

"But something is still not right. The landlord said before that Room 3 was always empty. Did I misunderstand at the time, and it was only empty after Wu Fang moved away?"

"And if Wu Fang killed Fu Yu, and now she came back and ran into Fu Yu, why doesn't she have any surprised expression? This woman acts like she doesn't know Fu Yu."

Lin Jue closed the diary. He seemed to have sorted out a complete clue, but the truth remains to be verified.

The plot hasn't even started yet, and there are already so many doubts. It feels like the filming difficulty of this script is much higher than "Liar."

"Hmm? What is this?"

The moment he closed the diary, it seemed like a gust of wind blew over, and a piece of paper fell out of the diary's interlayer.

Where did this piece of paper come from?

He had clearly flipped through the diary just now and didn't see this piece of paper.

Bending down to pick up the paper, it had a name and address written on it.

【Liao Fan, 6 years old, Sanjiang City Xiaohonghua Welfare Institute】

Welfare Institute?

Could it be that this Fu Yu even targeted 6-year-old children?
