Global Game: I Have Portable Store

In reality, although ordinary people in this world live here, the information they know may not be as much as the players.

Moreover, players share information to some extent, and what they know far exceeds imagination.

Su Changxing needs to extract some information from Lu Mengyao, including information about the Grand Duke’s third son. He currently has no means to obtain any information about the Grand Duke’s third son.

Information about these nobles seems to be highly confidential, probably to guard against assassins.

Su Changxing wandered around the slums, asking those who owed Old Mrs. Luo Wen money, but he still couldn’t find the murderer.

”The killer might be hiding. If it were me, I would hide too.”

Lu Mengyao thought for a moment and said, she finally started using her brain a little.

”Not necessarily, he is in a hurry to use this money, let’s check the nearby clinics. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the norms for ordinary people. He might not owe Old Mrs. Luo Wen money, just urgently needs money, so he chose a suitable target.”

Su Changxing thought for a moment, analyzing the situation.

This explanation is logical and also the first thing that came to his mind.

Su Changxing drove the carriage all the way to the Blackwood Clinic next to the slum.

This is a small clinic with many people going in and out, most of whom are decently dressed, not poor.

Truly poor people can’t afford to get sick.

”Let’s go in and have a look.” Su Changxing observed the surroundings and said.

He walked in.

He immediately noticed a girl, around ten years old, with slightly dark skin, lying on a bed in the corner.

The reason he noticed her immediately was because her clothing was quite simple, forming a stark contrast with others.

”Where are your family?”

Su Changxing walked over and asked with a smile.

The girl looked at him without speaking, full of vigilance.

Su Changxing turned and walked towards a doctor nearby, saying:

”We are from the detective agency. Have you seen a man wearing a gray coat, about 1.8 meters tall?”

The doctor examined Su Changxing and his companion, thought for a moment, and said, ”I haven’t seen him.”

Su Changxing raised his eyebrows and questioned, ”Are you sure?”

The doctor quickly said, ”Of course, there aren’t many people coming today. I remember clearly, there was no man like you described.”

Su Changxing pointed at the girl and asked, ”Did she pay?”

The doctor nodded, ”Of course, how could she sit on the sickbed without paying? An old woman accompanied her.”

It was obvious that the doctor was a bit puzzled; seemingly poor people were able to pay, which clearly indicated something fishy was going on.

However, he didn’t really care; with money, they would treat, and without money, they wouldn’t bother.

That was their principle.

After a while.

An elderly woman walked in with a basket of food from outside, her expression changing slightly upon seeing Lu Mengyao in the detective attire, she lowered her head and walked towards the girl.

Su Changxing strode over and bluntly said, ”Where’s your son? We have something to discuss with him.”

The elderly woman looked up at Su Changxing and slowly said, ”Him, I haven’t seen him for a few days.”

She was lying.

Su Changxing glanced outside the door, his expression shifting slightly, signaling to Lu Mengyao, and walked out the door,

As they exited the clinic, they saw, not far away, a man in a gray coat watching from a distance, his expression numb and lips pale.

Obviously, his spirit was not in good condition.

It was probably him.

Su Changxing confirmed this man was the murderer and felt the case was simple—catching the murderer and bringing him to justice would suffice.

The man in the gray coat saw Su Changxing and his companion approaching, and his eyes couldn’t help but tremble.

He immediately turned and ran, merging into the crowd.

Lu Mengyao sprinted forward, knocking him to the ground with a swift kick.

The physical fitness between ordinary people and the extraordinary was vastly different.

And all these players were extraordinary!

”Why did you kill Old Mrs. Luo Wen?” Lu Mengyao asked coldly, handcuffing his hands from behind.

The man was in a frightened and unsettled state, unable to respond for the moment.

Lu Mengyao roughly dragged the man onto the carriage.

They only needed to send the man to the police station to complete the task, although they still needed some key evidence.

That was easy; the man had almost admitted that he was the murderer.

Lu Mengyao formally asked, ”What’s your name?”

”Juan...”

The man in the gray coat sat on the carriage and suddenly shouted, ”What right do you have to arrest me?”

He was so righteous.

Lu Yao glanced at him and replied irritably, ”You killed someone; isn’t it normal for us to arrest you?”

Yes, it’s normal; from a legal standpoint, it is.

Juan widened his eyes and counter-questioned, ”Do you know who she is?”

Lu Mengyao appeared slightly puzzled, ”Old Mrs. Luo Wen? Who else could she be?”

Juan took a deep breath and continued:

”Luo Wen was a loan shark, she was a vampire, making it impossible for many people to survive. By killing her, I’m allowing at least a hundred people to live, to live better... I did nothing wrong.”

It seems, he didn’t think he was committing a crime, even considering himself to be right, on the side of justice.

This reminded Su Changxing of ”Bloody hand Butcher”; both bore similarities, with ample reasons to kill, positioning themselves outside the world’s rules.

Su Changxing said nothing, quietly driving the carriage, observing the seemingly prosperous city.

”You killed Mrs. Luo Wen for money.” Lu Mengyao said confidently.

The man showed a pleading expression and said:

”You can’t kill me; I have a sister. If I die, she certainly can’t survive; she’s seriously ill. You can’t catch me... please.”

Lu Mengyao’s face flashed with confusion, seriously contemplating whether to arrest the man. Unlike other players, she didn’t pursue greedily and pondered the right and wrong.

However, perhaps only she cared.

Su Changxing didn’t care, and Juan cared even less.

”What should we do now?” Lu Mengyao habitually asked.

Su Changxing responded without turning his head, ”It’s up to you, you’re the employer.”

Ultimately, the man, despite his pleading, was brought to the police station.

He was rather unlucky; without Su Changxing, he might not have been caught. He had been very cautious.

Lu Mengyao stood at the police station entrance, somewhat at a loss, her expression conflicted, confused about what to do, realizing that nothing seemed right.

”Now, let’s talk about our deal.” Su Changxing said with a smile.

Lu Mengyao asked, ”What do you want to know?”

She was curious about this too, sensing that Su Changxing wasn’t an ordinary NPC, or at least not as ordinary as he claimed.

An ordinary NPC wouldn’t have the time to help her solve a case.

”I want to know about the Duke’s third son, Po Lai’s information, and whereabouts. As a detective, you should be able to learn through your detective agency.” Su Changxing said confidently.

He wasn’t talking about a detective agency, but the forum where players exchanged information, where such information should be available.

The Duke’s third son?

Lu Mengyao suddenly recalled that another player had previously posted information about this; he seemed to be an attendant to Po Lai, posting serialized videos from his perspective, titled ”The Life of an Attendant.”

Nobody knew how he became the Duke’s third son’s attendant, which precisely became the highlight of his video, thereby gaining considerable traffic.
