Under your questioning, Mei Yun confesses that he was loitering around the Bureau of Swordmancers today because he was looking for a lost lottery ticket.

Are you looking for this?

Remember that lottery ticket found in the pool?

The back of the ticket had chili oil on it.

What were you looking for inside the Bureau of Swordmancers?

Ugh, fine. I'll tell you. But you have to promise not to tell anyone else.

A lottery ticket...? Endmin...

Yes!!! This is the one! My winning ticket!

Why was your lottery ticket in the Bureau? Spit it out! Were you the one causing trouble there last night?!

Huh? N-no. Truth is, I-I saw a ghost!

I came for the Bureau's open day yesterday. And guess what? The lottery ticket I bought on a whim actually won!

I was so pumped, so I treated myself to hot pot... Heehee, maybe drank a bit too much. Next thing I knew, I was out on a bench in the Bureau.

When I woke up, it was already dead dark ... and the hallway light wouldn't stop blinking! On, off, on, off...

Then — WHAM! — all the lights went out. And then — WHAM! — every single locker at the Hongyun Express Station burst open...

It was terrifying! Dark as pitch, cold wind everywhere... I ran for my life! Then I saw a person by a sword pell, just staring at me...

No, no, no. Not a person. A ghost it must be! Before I could even blink, the guy ... the ghost disappeared without a trace!

I tried to run, but I tripped and fell into the pool... Ended up swimming all the way to the gate. The ticket must've fallen out right then!

Nice story. But you got any proof?

Actually ... we might.

You're saying ... the footprints and the lottery ticket both belong to him?

If he really went to a hot pot eatery, that would explain both the unusually clear footprints and the chili oil stains.

So he probably stepped in chili oil there... That actually fits both his story and the strange footage.

Tsk. Then it's probably not him.

Finally! Someone with some sense! Wait... Chili oil stains on my lottery ticket? Where?!

Let's not rush to any conclusions just yet. We should have a word with the other suspects as well.

That's ... that's not fair!

Uh... Hmm...

I was looking for ... a Fortune Connect-and-Win lottery ticket! A winning one!

My ... one shot at happiness...
