Global Game: I Have Portable Store

Su Changxing pretended to think for a moment and said:

”Around noon today, I met a person named Weiluo. He might be related to the murder last night. I’m even suspicious that he’s the wanted murderer. Could you help check it out?”

”Having such a murderer in the town makes me very uneasy. Ha, you know, those police might just be more useful than the lights hanging on the wall, at least they can talk.”

[Would you like to issue a quest to trace the murderer?]

[Would you like to add a quest reward?]

[Please add quest conditions]

[Quest (Trace the Murderer): The slaughterhouse owner Klein has discovered the possible presence of a murderer and needs you to investigate. Please find out about this person within three days.]

Bai Qianyu nodded and then asked, ”Are there any distinctive features of the murderer? It would help us with the investigation.”

Su Changxing was silent for a moment and then said:

”He’s a young man with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing blue overalls and jeans, quite a memorable impression... At the time, when I mentioned the Imperial Police, he started to run away, which clearly shows a guilty conscience.”

”As long as you catch him, you won’t lack rewards, and there’s a chance he’s carrying other cases.”

Bai Qianyu’s eyes gleamed, realizing this task involved significant interests, possibly even getting corresponding task rewards from the guild.

Sometimes catching one person, as long as the person’s crimes are numerous, you can claim multiple rewards at once.

This is also a purple task, which means the rewards are equally rich.

”Mr. Klein, please await our good news. We have ample resources and the most extensive experience,” Bai Qianyu said with a full smile, brimming with confidence.

”Thank you,” Su Changxing nodded slightly.

He was sure this fellow Weiluo hadn’t left the town, as the safest place is often the most dangerous one.

If he left here, he might be easier to catch, while the town, with its chaotic mix of people and many without identities, is not hard to hide in.

A ghostly soul lingered at the peak of the church steeple, fleeting like a wisp of condensed wind, a remnant soul of the Evil Spirit with a faint presence—mere existence without any substantial combat power.

No one would think such a thing might be atop the church.

Su Changxing was observing much of the town’s situation through this remnant soul.

Towards the evening, a large number of Players flooded into the town, all bearing the Knight Guild’s emblem.

Someone wanted to farm him as the boss.

The other side seemed quite sure he was in Chaixi Town and hadn’t escaped to anywhere else.

”Hmm, amusing,”

Su Changxing sat at the table, fiddling with the smooth scalpel in his hand, muttering to himself.

Like some predetermined format.

From the moment he appeared in this town, an invisible net began to weave rapidly.

He’s not the first hidden boss, nor the first NPC to arrive here from another world.

Though he seemed to hide his identity, his approximate location was already exposed when he came here.

Moreover, as the Bloody hand Butcher, he had certain restrictions, having to go out daily to hunt and satisfy his murderous desires due to the character setting imposed by the system.

Though Su Changxing himself had no such desires, the restriction was forcefully applied by the system.

Just as night fell, the world gradually plunged into silence, the twilight glow flowing over the bell tower, the drifting dark veil gently brushing one’s skin.

”Is anyone there!”

A shout came from the farm gate.

It was a woman, her voice cold and stiff.

Who?

Su Changxing lifted his head from the shadows, put away the clown mask in his hand, and walked towards the door, still in his pajamas.

It was that woman dressed in a black coat.

He yawned, and from a distance behind the iron gate, he asked, ”Who is it? I’ve already gone to sleep.”

Even at night, the woman’s eyes still glowed faintly, like a Black Cat squatting there, quietly watching him.

At least Tier Eight, or even higher!

Su Changxing’s expression became more serious, clearly sensing the other side was shrouded in a fog, unable to feel a precise aura.

”Imperial Police, here to investigate because of the recent murders,” the woman said unhurriedly, scrutinizing Su Chang Xing closely.

Su Changxing’s face twitched slightly, feeling a bit edgy under her gaze, and said, ”Hmm? Do you have a search warrant at this hour?”

The woman paused momentarily and said, ”Search warrant? We don’t need that sort of thing.”

Indeed.

In such times, the rights of ordinary people are even more fragile.

”······”

Su Changxing hesitated and said, ”You say you’re the police, but you still need to prove it.”

The woman frowned slightly, then took out credentials from her coat, handing them to Su Changxing, saying,

”I am Lina, an Imperial Police officer, investigating the recent serial murders, please cooperate; any obstruction will be regarded as suspect behavior.”

Su Changxing glanced casually at the credentials, handed them back, and with a smile on his face, said, ”Officer, please come in, feel free to look around, and any need you have, just say the word.”

Lina didn’t look around but instead sat directly at the table and said, ”I’m thirsty, pour me a cup of red tea, with sugar.”

Su Changxing was stunned for a moment and said, ”Aren’t you here to investigate?”

Lina nodded, looking as if it were obvious, and said, ”Yes, I am investigating... I’m currently investigating.”

”······”

Su Changxing felt stifled and said, ”Drinking tea at night isn’t good for your health.”

Lina turned her head to glance at Su Changxing and said, ”Then make me some coffee, with milk and sugar.”

Su Changxing hesitated for a moment, ”Isn’t that the same thing?”

”Is it?”

Lina thought for a moment and said, ”Then I still want tea, the night is long, we’re not in a rush.”

Su Changxing couldn’t figure out what this woman was trying to do, so he poured a cup of tea with a few ice sugars and handed it over, saying, ”Late at night, having a free meal and drink at my place might not be good.”

”I’m working on a case,” Lina affirmed.

”······”

Su Changxing yawned, displeased, and said, ”Since that’s the case, I’ll go to bed first, Officer, take your time.”

With that, he started to walk towards the inner room.

Lina’s eyes twitched slightly, immediately saying, ”No, you must assist me.”

Su Changxing turned around, lightly tapped the table with one hand, stared at her, and said in a deep voice:

”Officer, aren’t you breaking the rules? Investigating and not letting me sleep, is there any justice?”

”No,” Lina said indifferently.

”······”

Su Changxing took a deep breath, the woman was like a stubborn pig, neither oil nor salt working, and without using Martial Power, there wasn’t much he could do.

The opponent was the Imperial Police, while he was just a small farm owner, a butcher, a pig slaughterer.
