Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Suo Ru opened his folded fan and spoke to Jiang Yong.

”Brother Jiang, have a seat.”

Jiang Yong, without any hesitation, plopped right down.

It’s worth mentioning that his position offered an unobstructed view of Chunhong House’s layout below.

Undoubtedly, this was considered a VIP seat in Chunhong House.

Such grandeur!

Jiang Yong couldn’t help but glance a few more times at the person beside him.

Seeing Suo Ru’s generosity, this time he must truly profit!

Jiang Yong came to investigate this case not only for fame but also for money.

This game is so popular that you can easily make substantial money by acquiring some Silver Taels from locals.

Especially recently, for some unknown reason, major corporations have personally endorsed and massively acquired Silver Taels from the game, causing its currency value to skyrocket, with prices dropping back to proportions similar to the game’s early days.

Making money and gaining fame simultaneously; this was Jiang Yong’s goal, and the wealthy patron by his side was naturally key.

If not for the fact that the other explicitly expressed interest in his investigative ability, he might have doubted whether the patron had other motives.

As some wine and dishes were served, Jiang Yong roughly analyzed the stage in the hall’s scene.

Actually, this was just an appetizer.

Everyone knew the real crime scene was actually within Miss Qianqian’s boudoir.

Suo Ru merely sipped his wine, smiling as he listened to Jiang Yong’s analysis, uncertain what was on his mind.

Soon, a large group of people emerged from the hallway.

Leading them was one of Chunhong House’s ladies.

With the lady’s enthusiastic farewell, the group excitedly discussed something as they left Chunhong House.

Meanwhile, someone quickly approached the lady and whispered something in her ear, causing her to promptly look towards Jiang Yong’s direction at the elegant seats.

As their gazes met, the lady smiled and bowed, then walked gracefully toward the stairs.

Before long, the lady appeared beside Jiang Yong.

”Mr. Suo visits. Xiao Hong was tardy, I hope Mr. Suo will not take offense.”

That sweet voice made Jiang Yong somewhat lose his bearings.

Unfortunately, beside him, Suo Ru was an experienced veteran and simply chuckled, saying:

”These are trifles. Miss Qianqian’s boudoir, I intend to take people to inspect now; please cancel the arrangements for the next group.”

He spoke while taking out several large pieces of Silver.

Jiang Yong didn’t see how many pieces there were, but he knew the moment Xiao Hong’s eyes lit up.

She quickly reached out to take them, and Xiao Hong respectfully retreated.

Soon, another lady from Chunhong House came to guide them.

Jiang Yong glanced around, looking somewhat inexperienced with the opulence.

The lady from Chunhong House internally felt somewhat dismissive; none were as handsome, elegant, and lavish as Mr. Suo, young and wealthy.

However, by the time they reached Miss Qianqian’s room, her opinion of this rustic-looking fellow shifted.

”The room has been cleaned, but the walls still have a strong smell of blood, indicating significant blood loss; it bears hallmarks of a demon’s work...”

With simple observation, Jiang Yong immediately analyzed.

Indeed, Chunhong House used Miss Qianqian’s boudoir as a selling point for the crime scene, fetching a hefty price. However, they processed the area to avoid overly gruesome and terrifying scenes impacting the audience’s perception.

Otherwise, as it was initially, with blood splattered like ink on all walls, those willing to visit the crime scene would no longer be inclined, and business couldn’t proceed.

As for hardcore investigators like Jiang Yong, they were few and far between, practically negligible.

Most people came for a spectacle, for something to talk about afterward.

For many in the Capital, keeping abreast of news and having talking points was crucial.

”Finished looking?”

Seeing Jiang Yong had stopped surveying, Suo Ru inquired.

”Finished. All clues are noted here.”

Jiang Yong pointed to his head.

Then, Jiang Yong moved outside the room, laid his face on the floor tiles, gently stroked, tapping here and there, then stood up and said:

”Two people fell from here, entering the room. Then they jumped from this position onto the roof... Brother Suo, lend a hand?”

Suo Ru laughed.

”It’s easy.”

Supporting Jiang Yong’s body, he leaped, amidst Chunhong House’s lady’s panicked cries, reaching the rooftop together.

Jiang Yong quickly surveyed the rooftop and soon had results.

”This direction, they’re headed this way, but while the general direction is clear, pinpointing their final destination requires more clues and time for exploration.”

Suo Ru nodded, smiling.

”No matter, I have plenty of time.”

With the patron saying so, what could Jiang Yong say?

As the patron extracted five large silver ingots, their sheer luster instantly caught Jiang Yong’s eye.

This month’s living expenses, secured!

Reaching out to take them, Jiang Yong grinned and said, ”Brother Suo, you’re too kind!”

”This is... the deposit. Once the task is completed, it will be this sum.”

Suo Ru gestured, and Jiang Yong eagerly agreed.
