After much investigation, I would like to now formally accuse Jingxun as one the mafia for several reasons (some of observations below were from interviews I had with other players whose names shall be remained anonymous until they are comfortable of releasing their names themselves; thanks for all those who provided me your encountering with Jingxun):
(1) In Day 1, a town person X said she was walking out of her door, and saw Jingxun coming from the opposite direction (coming from the direction of Bianca's room actually) in the 5E deep lounge hallway. While Jingxun was talking on the phone, X heard she saying "so they are not gonna vote to kill you tonight..." and as soon as Jingxun saw X, Jingxun turned 180 degrees to the opposite direction and walked away from X. At that very moment, person X also saw Bianca hiding into one of the door thing, trying to avoid person's X sight. If this person feel comfortable, he/she can confirm after this post. Right now, I try to protect that person by not giving out his/her name.
(2) Jingxun was one of the people possessing med kit at the beginning of the game. One of the very good strategy is for the town people to pass the med kit to the vigilante (whose name should be remained anonymously), and most people will agree with me. on this strategy. When I found out who's the vigilante (sorry guys, I won't tell you his/her name on this public forum), I was very thrilled. The first thing I want to do is to ask Jingxun or Steve L. (who possessed the other med kit) to give up their med kit, and I will arrange a safe transportation for the med kit to reach the hand of the vigilante. When I talked to Jingxun to give up the med kit to the vigilante, she looked a little bit annoyed at my request, refusing to hand in the med kit. Furthermore, she told me that she would like to discuss this passing the med-kit matter on this public forum; I told her don't do so, and it's a bad idea. Why would she want to discuss to give up her med kit or not in public?!!! Clearly, she's thinking the mafia's way not the town people's way.
(3) Right after Bianca "failed" to kill Di before midnight in Day 1, Bianca immediately went to Jingxun's room; then both Bianca and Jingxun then went to Di's room and told Di that Bianca was just playing around and not being serious. OK, look closely, Nur (our investigator) has already checked that Bianca indeed killed Spencer. Given that Bianca is a mafia, why would she immediately went to Jingxun's room right after Di told Bianca that mafia could not killed a person in his/her room??? Because when a mafia got confused, he/she tried to find another mafia for clarification. If Bianca and Jingxun did walk out in the hall together towards Di's room, wouldn't Bianca still able to kill Jingxun on the hallway even if Di's no-killing-in-the-room rule still stands true in Bianca's mind? But, she didn't. Bianca was very happy to be with Jingxun, and Jingxun was very happy to hang around with Bianca in Day 1.
(4) There's several evidences that I'm just an innocent town person; there are also many evidences suggesting that I'm good at playing this game and gathering information I need. Everybody who has talked to me seemed to trust me and believe me except Jingxun. Jingxun looked very guilty and cautious whenever she saw me. Think about this logically, if you are a town person, you will definitely want me to be on your side because you know that I will be a great asset to the team. If you are the mafia, you really hate me, of course. Jingxun always have a very guilty look whenever she sees me. She even refused to talk to me in private (hmmm....I wonder why? It's a great opportunity for her to kill me!) knowing that I'm "a really experienced player"; in fact, she's the ONLY person who refused to talk to me in private; this is actually very simply: she's afraid I might be the vigilante and kill her. Well, if Jingxun is a town person and knows that I'm an experienced player who's also innocent, there's no reason at all for her to not talk to me or trust me. She is simply too afraid that I might trick her into being killed by the vigilante I set up to trap her.
(5) She's didn't contribute that much to the game anyways. She only posted it twice on the discussion forum, and none of her posts really contributes to our discussion. That's exactly what mafia do! Mafia doesn't really contribute much to the discussion because they need to spend time discussing how to kill off people instead of how not to be killed (this statement also supports my observation in statement 2 above).
(6) Alex stated in Day 2 discussion that "I was under the impression that Bianca did not actually tap Jingxun on the shoulder, so for consistency let's say that this is what happened"; this means, whether Bianca did tap on Jingxun's shoulder or not, we know that Alex thinks that in order for the game to run smoothly, Jingxun should not have been tapped because than the mafia Bianca would just kill her fellow Mafia Jingxun.
(7) I asked more people to go to her room to beg for the med kit. I think she finally felt somewhat guilty and realizes that people will start suspecting her if she didn't give up the med kit. As a result, she finally gave up the med kit in Day 2 to a person (whose name shall remained anonymous) who has successfully passed the med kit to the vigilante (whose name will not be revealed here either).
(8 Steve L (who also posses(ed) the second med kit) was informed by me that the med kit was given out by Jingxun. Steve L didn't believe me at first, so he came to Jingxun's room past midnight in Day 3. At this time, we (the town people) have successfully got the med kit from Jingxun. Steve knocked on her door and asked whom did she give the med kit up to? She immediately and awkwardly said that she still had the med kit. I was kind of annoyed that she lied, so I opened my door (right across her door) and ask Jingxun to show Steve her med kit if she still had it. Well, she couldn't because she didn't have it. Hahaha...then she made a change of her sentence: "I don't have the med kit." Steven L was like: "But why did you say you still have the med kit when I first asked you the question?" Jingxun made up an excuse (which I don't remember) which is very unreasonable, so I don't really believe her. See, if you really are a town person, you should be very happy that you gave up your med kit to help the vigilante saves his/her life instead of your own. Jingxun's behavior is very much like what mafia will do.
As a result, I vote to lynch Jingxun tonight. I understand that all the evidences I presented still cannot 100% (but I'm at least 60% confident now) be sure that she is the mafia, but I will rather kill her (who's now somewhat guilty) than lynch no one tonight.
PS: do come to play normal mafia game with many awesome people tonight at 10pm in Next House's TFL.
