[1]



After waiting for about twenty minutes, the man kept screaming over QQ, "Are you a scammer? Hey, talk to me!"

Xu Xiaodong sent over a letter of inquiry and added a sentence, "Captain Lin said that if you can solve this case tonight, he’ll write his surname backwards . "

Chen Shi sent a response, "Just you wait," and then sent the letter of inquiry over to the person over QQ . The person saw the letter and exclaimed, "Oh, you really are a policeman . Excuse me then!"

"Hurry up and tell me what you know . "

"Open voice-chat . "

After turning on the audio-speaker, there was a beautiful female voice that sounded through the speakers . "The situation is like this . . . Sorry, I forgot to turn off the voice modifier . "

After turning the voice modifier off, the person’s voice turned low and was clearly a male’s voice . "The Solitary Sword and the Mad Sea Dragon’s Roar were originally in the same guild . They joined hands to fight against the guy who ranked first in the server, who was the most arrogant dude possible . Later, the Solitary Sword had an idea . The idea was that they would divide themselves up into two guilds and then they would take turns to attack the guy who ranked first in the server . The Mad Sea Dragon’s Roar agreed . However, they didn’t know that there would be conflict once they separated into two guilds . One of the female players in the Solitary Sword’s guild swindled equipment off a guy from Mad Sea Dragon’s Roar guild…”

"Tell me the main point! I know that they aren’t on good terms . "

"Okay, okay, why are you in such a rush?"

Chen Shi glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen . It was already ten o'clock . How could he not rush?

The other party went on to say, "They would fight every two days or so . The guy who ranked first in the server could just sit and watch the show, so it really benefited him . A couple of days ago, Solitary Sword rallied his troops and went to sneak an attack on Mad Sea Dragon’s Roar’s guild . Mad Sea Dragon’s Roar was killed and then kept persistently resurrecting in order to kill Solitary Sword . Solitary Sword’s troops kept on guarding Mad Sea Dragon’s Roar’s corpse . He must have lost close to tens of thousands of yuans’ worth of equipment . That night, Solitary Sword was using the world chat to gloat . Mad Sea Dragon’s Roar replied saying that he’d kill him . It’s a game, so killing each other is pretty normal… Today was the day of the guild wars and the Mad Sea Dragon’s Roar was a contender for the throne of the city . However, since Solitary Sword didn’t come today, Mad Sea Dragon’s Roar won the title of king of the city . He’s still gifting red envelopes to everyone right now . I think he’s sent out close to ten thousand yuan at this point… It seems that he is very happy today . "

Chen Shi had once again heard the words "guarding the corpse" .

The other party asked, "Are you listening?"



"Yes . "

"Right, you still haven't told me what happened . . . Did Solitary Sword die?"

"Don't spread any rumours . This matter needs to stay secret . "

"I can't even ask? Haii, since you are a policeman, why don’t we get married?"

Chen Shi almost vomited blood . This is the first time in his life in which he heard such a thing coming out of the mouth from a guy like this with his low tenor voice . The other party added, "I mean inside the game! I can make sure you rise to level 50 in a month . ”

Since it was too disgusting, Chen Shi wrote “get lost” in the chat bar . As he was about to hit send, Tao Yueyue made a gesture, indicating for him to mute himself in the voice chat .  

Chen Shi muted himself as Tao Yueyue reasoned, "If you refuse him, he may go around and talk about this matter everywhere . It’s not good if this is heard by the bad guy . ”

Chen Shi smiled . This little girl was really manipulative .

Thus, he agreed to the other party’s suggestion . The other party was really excited and asked if they should get married there and then . Chen Shi negotiated, “Marrying is such a big event . We should find a good day to do it rather than rush into things . ”

"Okay . Then let me announce things on the server first . We should add each other as friends as well… Wow, I’m actually marrying a police officer . I’ll have so much face . ”

After adding each other as friends, Chen Shi asked for a favor . "Help me inquire about the Mad Sea Dragon’s Roar, Deng Zhongming . "

"I’ll go back to the guild and ask for you . Wait for me, honey . ”

Chen Shi raised his face and closed his eyes . He had to suppress the urge to vomit . Tao Yueyue giggled at his side .



After a while, the damn guy came back and said, "Honey, I’ve asked . He lives in Long'An City . He is a small boss who sells paint . The specific address isn’t clear, but I’ve found his contact information . "

Chen Shi quickly sent the contact information and personal background of Deng Zhongming to Lin Dongxue, and asked her to check for the person’s address .

Lin Dongxue asked over text message, "Is he determined to be the murderer?"

"With 80 to 90% certainty . "


In the game, the stupid guy was still talking about nonsense . He intended to take Chen Shi to level-up because he was too low-level at the moment . He couldn’t show him around in front of his friends . He also gave Chen Shi a 200 yuan upgrade package .  

Chen Shi replied, "Hey, I have to rest tonight . I will come online again . ”

"Okay, I’ll wait for you . Xoxo . ”

After turning off the game, Chen Shi sighed deeply and sent a message to Xu Xiaodong . "Okay, I can return your account back to you now . "

"Damn it, Brother Chen, are you playing me? . . . I just trained your account to level ten . "

"Go to your old account . There are surprises there waiting for you"

Chen Shi thought about it and remembered there is still a place they needed to visit . He took Tao Yueyue to leave the Internet cafe and went to the nearby park .

In the evening, there was no one in the park so it seemed a bit gloomy and eerie . Tao Yueyue was afraid and grabbed ahold of Chen Shi’s hand . As the two arrived at the inner lake, Chen Shi walked around the river bank and found a branch .

He put on his gloves and picked up the branch . He checked it carefully as Tao Yueyue asked, "Is this the stick that the bad guy used to beat the uncle?"

"Not necessarily . If I were him, I would throw the stick into the water . . . I’m guessing he did the same . "

"Why would he do that?"

"I think it’s for revenge . He had his corpse guarded in the game, so he pushed the deceased into the water and hit him with a stick like what happened to him in the game . Perhaps he only wanted to humiliate him, rather than kill him… But in the end, he killed someone . ”

Tao Yueyue smiled .

"What are you smiling about?"

"The reporter will have nonsensical material again . "

Chen Shi remembered that this was the feeling he had when he saw a certain news story in the last couple of days . It was actually remembered by Tao Yueyue . This little girl truly was really smart .

Peng Sijue called and asked, "Where are you?"

"Next to the lake . "

"The deceased had a lot of broken bones and had small amounts of water left in the lungs . It is suspected to be caused by trauma to the chest wall . The death is due to drowning . The death time is about 24 hours prior . . . I have not conducted an autopsy yet, but I’m on the way back to the bureau . Your car is still in the neighborhood you left it at . "

"It's similar to my own conclusion . Thanks for the trouble . ”

"Did you make a bet with Lao Lin again?"

"Haha, come back later and I’ll treat you to dinner . "

Peng Sijue ignored him and hung up the phone .

Lin Dongxue called . "I found his address . I will get people over there now . "

"Give me the address, I will go as well . "

After getting the address, Chen Shi speedily took Tao Yueyue back to the neighborhood that he parked his car at . Peng Sijue was carrying a forensic testing kit and was about to catch a ride with the police car . Upon seeing Chen Shi’s arrival, he asked, "Found the murderer?"

"You’re deducing this from my confident face?" Chen Shi smiled .

"I will go with you . "

"Get in the car . "

The three got in the car and Tao Yueyue greeted, "Hello Uncle . " Peng Sijue stared at her face for a few seconds and said, "Did you just recover from an illness?"

"Yeah, she was discharged from the hospital just a while ago . . . Are you not curious about who this girl is?" Chen Shi asked .

"Not curious . " Peng Sijue turned his gaze back to the front .
