"Why are you so brave?!" Since he is afterall his nephew, Old Yu hurried over to ask You Huo, "What if picking up a wine glass counts?!"

You Huo picked up a second glass: "It won't. I picked them up in the kitchen."

Old Yu: "...…."

Are you proud of that?

Old Yu was almost about to vomit blood because of his nephew but he was also too afraid to scold him. He could only glare at You Hou from an unseen angle.

"Dad, move aside."

Yu Wen walked past Old Yu and picked up a silver spoon. Unable to find anything, he switched over to a silver fork.

At first glance, they were all common household items. The plates were white porcelain and they didn't have any patterns on it while the silver spoons and forks were designed very simply.

Just when he was about to switch to a saucer, he finally noticed that his brother wasn't touching anything else.

"Brother, why are you only looking at the wine glasses?" Yu Wen couldn't help but ask.

"No point looking at the others." You Huo placed down the third glass and stopped examining them. He proceeded to move away from the dining table.

"No point?" Yu Wen was stunned.

While he was stunned, the tattooed man who had already looked through them all complained: "What is this garbage? There's not a single shit in these things!"

Another person also said in distress: "The question is too vague. We don't even have a hint so how can we find it?"

You Huo squatted next to the Hunter's dead body. He picked up a piece of the broken wine glass and started to examine it.

To him, the question has already given them plenty of clues.

When he was in the kitchen earlier and was messing with the hunter, he noticed that the other party paid special attention to these wine glasses and, when Hunter A dropped one of them, the question changed into "There are now 12 sets of tableware."

This would mean that, to the question, the only thing that counted as part of the tableware were the wine glasses.

Therefore, the so-called secret must be hidden in the glasses.

Yu Wen stared at the answer wall in thought for a moment. He then slapped his thigh and jumped up: "Oh———brother, I finally get it! The others are all useless and only those glasses are part of the tableware!"

Everyone stood around dumbly with plates, forks and spoons in their hands.

Yu Wen waved his hand and mobilised the group: "Don't look at those, look at the glasses!"

He rushed over and quickly stepped onto his brakes when he got near the hunter's body. He sat onto the floor and asked to be praised: "Aren't I pretty smart?"

You Huo perfunctorily snorted.

However, the excitement didn't last long.

After a while, the group was once again in despair.

They had examined every one of them and even tried to warm it up with their breaths, heat them up and shake them. After turning it around and around a few times, nothing was found.

On the sofa.

922 squeezed his fingers and said: "I'm busting and I'm also a little hungry. Was it always this hard doing full time on-site invigilating?"

154 said: "Hold it in. It's still too soon. There's still 36 hours."

922 was in despair.

Qin Jiu supported his head and his eyes swept past the dining table in the room before landing in a certain corner of the room.

There, You Huo had his back towards him while he looked through the fragments of the wine glass. The curved back of his formed a very nice arc.

He watched him for a long time and suddenly said: "Have you guys seen him before?"

154 was confused: "Why?"

922 was even more so: "Ah?"

Their reaction alone was enough.

Qin Jiu fell silent for a moment. He then said lazily: "It's nothing. If you're really hungry, you can go make something in the kitchen."

154 and 922 looked over at the kitchen. They then said with a stiff expression: "Not hungry at all."

After a few more seconds, 922 rubbed his hands and stood up: "Uh…..I'll go take a look in the kitchen."

154 was impressed: ".....You can even make something in a kitchen like that?"

922: "I'm just taking a look."

After he left, 154 once again looked back at the examinees. He suddenly understood the meaning behind Qin Jiu's words. He looked at You Huo and then hesitantly looked at Qin Jiu.

After staring at him in silence for about a minute, his boss finally spoke up: "Have I died? Why are you looking at me like I'm a spirit?"

154: "...….."

Qin Jiu glanced at him: "Spit it out if you have something to say."

154 pondered for a moment and said: "I just wanted to say.....If we have met before, that rule violating man gentleman should recognise us."

Qin Jiu's eyes once again returned to You Huo.

After a moment he hummed in agreement.

154 was right. If they have met before, he wouldn't have this kind of reaction.

It's not like there would be another person who has lost a part of their memory like he had. It couldn't be that coincidental.

922 rummaged through the kitchen and finally decided to change locations.

He returned back to the sofa and knelt onto the ground to open his suitcase. From inside, he took out a grill and a box of already cut up beef. The moment he opened the lid, he heard Yu Wen cry out nearby: "Brother, don't be so reckless!!"

The three invigilators looked over and just happened to see You Huo pick up the bottom of the shattered wine glass from in the Hunter's hands and smash it against the edge of the table.

There was a crack.

The bottom of the glass was once again broken....

922's hands shook. The beef spilt onto his pants.

Holding the remaining half-boxful of meat, he asked 154: "Can we accept him as a colleague after violating the rules four times? I don't want to be his invigilator anymore."

154: "...…."

Which idiot would want to?
