Chapter 157 – 155: Exclusive Limited Title “True Plot Detective”!
“`
“...”
Tuberculosis Rabbit had already fallen silent in his place.
What’s the situation?
How could that lover have really confessed? Did you guys resort to torture for a confession?
It was clearly him who killed her, yet he hasn’t confessed. How come the other guy has?
“Hmph.”
A glint of coldness and satisfaction flashed in the middle-aged police officer’s eyes: “Continue the interrogation.”
Only then did he turn his head towards Tuberculosis Rabbit and said with a serious expression, “I’m very sorry to have alarmed you, sir. Your suspicion can now almost be cleared, and we express our deepest sorrow for your wife’s death.”
“But we still hope that you can recover as soon as possible and strive to carry on with life.”
“Ah.”
Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded his head somewhat blankly, hesitated for a long time, really couldn’t understand, “Did he really confess?”
“Yes, he admitted unabashedly to killing your wife, and I am sorry to tell you, sir, that he lives in the same building as you. In the murderer’s home, we found a large number of erotic photos, chains, whips, and other training tools, a special chemical agent that can only be used for destroying corpses, and on the murderer’s communication software...”
“We found that someone had been in close contact with the murderer.”
“That unknown mysterious person was teaching the murderer how to use some tools to...find some fun, and also imparted a lot of experience on how to destroy evidence.”
“In addition to his statement, this is enough to prove that the murderer is indeed this lover, and he was at the time preparing his tools, ready to return to the crime scene to completely obliterate all traces.”
“We are now investigating the identity of this mysterious person, but the murderer has been confirmed, it’s this lover.”
“He admitted that he had a quarrel with your wife over an argument, went over to confront her but was once again rejected by your wife, resulting in a dispute, and ultimately, accidentally killed your wife.”
“The argument that the reporter heard should be the argument he had with your wife.”
“When you went out to check, you discovered this scene and subsequently were likewise murdered. Is that correct?”
“Ah? Oh!”
Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded vigorously and looked at the middle-aged police officer earnestly, giving a thumbs-up, “You’re brilliant, officer. The situation at the scene is without a single error from your deductions, as if you personally witnessed the whole event.”
“Ha.”
The middle-aged police officer shook his head with some disdain, “Every net has its mesh, the criminal’s attempt to frame you was too obvious. We will not wrongly accuse a good person.”
Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded again vigorously and gave the middle-aged police officer another high rating in his heart. It seemed he could perfectly complete the hidden mission and pass through the game.
Although the process wasn’t quite as he expected, the outcome was surprisingly good for some reason.
And at that moment—
The scene in his eyes suddenly froze as if paused, then started to shatter like glass, accompanied by a flash of white light, he found himself in a white space, and a prompt sounded in his ear.
’Ding, congratulations to player Tuberculosis Rabbit for perfectly acting out the role of the Wife Murderer, acting perfection 100% (Role-playing rating 54%, passing through reward rating 46%).’
’Map Evaluation’: You have perfectly achieved the hidden plot of this map, just as you wrote in your diary, you are a failed entrepreneur, unable to accept your fall from grace after experiencing past glory.
Your thoughts gradually became warped night after night. Your wife’s cold treatment towards you filled you with even more rage.
One night, on a whim, you assumed the identity of a mysterious person and found a middle-aged man living in the same building, manipulating him into seducing your wife, slowly making your wife fall into his tender trap.
Moreover, the man had prepared a chemical solvent at home and planned to return to completely destroy the evidence. Before the incident, the man had a fierce quarrel with his wife, causing the neighbors to call the police.
There were probably no fingerprints left on that dagger, or rather, there were never his fingerprints to begin with.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
The first thing he did when he descended the map for the first time was to wipe his fingerprints off the weapon. Now it seemed that there might never have been his fingerprints on the weapon to begin with, or they were never his.
But who could have thought of that at the time?
A normal person would find it quite difficult to discern with the naked eye whether a fingerprint belongs to themselves, right?
He had just subconsciously followed the map’s prompt to wipe the fingerprints from the dagger; looking back, it seems it was an unnecessary move. Had the lover already cleaned the fingerprints from the dagger?
The first time he descended the map, had he painstakingly cleared a crime scene he hadn’t caused?
And then, did he force himself into the identity of the murderer?
As the white space shattered, Tuberculosis Rabbit’s figure slowly appeared on the community rooftop.
“Back already?”
Chen Yi turned and glanced at Tuberculosis Rabbit, who had suddenly appeared beside him, and smiled at the new title above his head, “Looks like you’ve successfully completed the hidden mission, and you must have used a different method than I did.”
“True Plot Detective, that’s quite a nice title.”
“Yi.”
Tuberculosis Rabbit sat down cross-legged next to Chen Yi with a complex expression and after a pause said complicatedly, “Do you still remember what this hidden mission was?”
“Clearing oneself of the suspect identity.”
Chen Yi cast a suspicious glance at Tuberculosis Rabbit, “What’s wrong? Did something extra happen in the map?”
“Hmm.”
Tuberculosis Rabbit nodded, sighed with emotion, and lamented, “Actually, the identity we were playing wasn’t the real murderer at all, we were misled by the pre-entry content and the scene.”
“The killer was someone else.”
“The specifics would take a long time to explain, but in short, it’s extremely melodramatic, and whoever came up with this plot has a brain that is definitely a little sick. The general situation is like this...”
Several minutes later.
On the rooftop.
The wind howled, and the sky grew darker.
Chen Yi and his companions remained silent without saying a word.
After a moment, Chen Yi broke the silence, “I understand my 96% map evaluation now, and where the remaining 4% falls short.”
“It’s hard for a normal person to dig into this kind of plot.”
“How did you uncover it?”
“Yi, you might not believe it, but I hadn’t thought about this at all. It was an overly helpful NPC who dug it out for me, and I completed the perfect evaluation while being completely baffled.”
“Then I figured it out.”
“I didn’t need to create those scenes, didn’t need to stab myself, didn’t need to smudge the dagger with my fingerprints, and didn’t need to create a scenario where I was framed.”
“From the moment I was discovered, if I had just stubbornly kept denying, absolutely refusing to admit it, the NPC would probably have helped us uncover the real truth.”
“So to complete this map’s hidden task, it might actually be quite simple, just keep denying till the end.”
