Deities Are All Just My Food-Chapter 2248 - 1003: Forest Cottage!_2

Of course, Lin Baici knew that the mother chose this boss because she understood his character; otherwise, the market had more than just his seafood shop.

The boss looked embarrassed, but between his eyebrows, there was a sense of relief.

Murder was something that gave him nightmares from time to time, fearing that it would be exposed and he’d get caught and thrown in jail.

It was only in recent years, as he aged, that he started to feel a bit relaxed. After all, even if he got caught, he had enjoyed more than twenty years of freedom, which was worth it.

The old detective was deep in thought, then he showed a sudden look of realization.

Lin Baici knew why; the old detective had personally followed this case, knowing the situation more thoroughly, and when Gu Qingqiu pointed it out, the details he knew immediately connected.

"I have a question!"

The black guy raised his hand, "How did you deduce the ’real culprit’ of this case? By guessing?"

"What a joke, guessing isn’t called reasoning!"

Xia Hongyao felt that Jiang Ge insulted Gu Qingqiu’s intelligence.

The others were also very interested, since everyone was together and had seen the same information, Gu Qingqiu had no reason to know more than the others!

"Schoolmate, please continue!"

Gu Qingqiu found Lin Baici to be very useful.

"Are you testing me?"

Lin Baici jokingly complained, "The clues are in those photographs!"

"In the photos?"

Jiang Ge doubted.

"In most of the photos with that child, he was taken with his grandmother. For important moments like entering elementary school, the parents didn’t appear at all!"

Lin Baici explained.

"In those photos, the child always wore a sad face; even in the family photo at the amusement park, there’s no visible happiness!"

"And among the few family photos, the child’s standing position is rather far from that woman, showing some sense of alienation!"

"At first, I just felt something was off. Later, I thought about it; she was a stepmother, probably often beating and scolding him!"

"Exactly!"

Gu Qingqiu smiled, "Didn’t you notice? On three photos, the child’s body had bruises!"

[Won’t you indulge in this top-tier delicacy?]

[If she dies, you’d regret it terribly!]

Eater God urged, hoping Lin Baici would quickly consume Gu Qingqiu.

"Throwing the body into the sea, there’s a high chance it would get washed ashore, but it didn’t appear, which means the child was taken away in time."

Gu Qingqiu breathed a sigh of relief; she thought she might have to resort to vigilante justice, but didn’t expect the seafood boss to cooperate so well.

This way, it’s perfect; otherwise, forcing a confession would be too indelicate.

Actually, the seafood boss, living in fear for so many years, longed for release, and under Gu Qingqiu’s wise gaze, he couldn’t hide it.

"Now we just need to find that woman, and we should be able to find the missing child!"

Xia Hongyao was very satisfied.

Finding a child was not easy, but finding an adult woman was much simpler, just required more police effort and time.

"Perhaps not necessary!"

Gu Qingqiu left, "Old Cai, I leave this person to you!"

"What do you mean?"

The black guy didn’t understand.

Gu Qingqiu didn’t explain, directly had him drive back to the grandmother’s house.

The grandmother had already returned.

In the kitchen, she was making claypot rice for her grandson again.

"Grandma, your grandson is now living with his mother. If you find his mother, you’ll find your grandson and bring him back for a meal!"

After Gu Qingqiu finished speaking, the system notification sounded.

[Congratulations to everyone, for completing the decryption game ’Claypot Rice’!]

[Return transmission will begin in ten seconds!]

[Please be prepared!]

"Oh yeah!"

Jiang Ge cheered, raising both hands, giving a thumbs-up to Gu Qingqiu and then to Lin Baici.

"I told you Little Qiu Qiu and Little Linzi are super awesome!"

Xia Hongyao stood with hands on hips, quite proud.

The transmission began, and when everyone opened their eyes again, they had returned from the 90s Hong Kong Island to the Ghost Ship.

The game pod opened, and everyone came out.

"You guys were so fast this time!"

Li Yintong exclaimed.

This time, since Lin Baici and the others left, it had been less than two hours. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Hi!"

Jiang Ge came over.

Cowgirl and Goryeo Lady also came to say hello, reconnect, and take the opportunity to ask what game Lin Baici’s group would play next.

They wanted to join in.

"Brother Lin!"

Liao Hongming also returned, and as soon as he got out of the game pod, he ran towards Lin Baici, without even talking to his wife and kids.

If not for the need to maintain dignity, he would have kneeled before Lin Baici.

He could tell that those girls all liked Lin Baici, so as long as he pleased Lin Baici, he could stick with him.

"What Lin Bro? Do you think you have the right to call him Lin Bro?"

The black guy shouted: "Call him God Lin!"

Liao Hongming forced a smile.

"Shall we continue?"

Xia Hongyao wasn’t tired at all, wanting to clear those games in one go.

"God Lin, which game are you planning to choose? Let’s do it together?"

Jiang Ge rubbed his hands together.

"Together, the efficiency is higher!"

Sister Goryeo suggested.

Hoffman didn’t come over, but he was eavesdropping with Divine Grace.

Working himself to the bone, it’s really better to get by with Lin Baici.

"Red Medicine, alumni, what do you think?"

Lin Baici wanted to respect his companions’ opinions.

"Anything goes!"

Gu Qingqiu didn’t mind. If she had the chance, she wanted to kill these people.

"I’ll go along with whatever you all say!"

Even though Xia Hongyao was nominally the leader, she never acted like one. Most of the time, she seemed like a little errand girl.

"Let’s do it together! Together!"

Jiang Ge chuckled, not daring to speak English at all, worried about upsetting anyone.

The culture within the God Hunter circle was like this: if you needed something from someone, you’d speak their language. So Jiuzhou language and English were a must, as these two countries had the strongest God Hunter organizations.

After that, it would be best to know some Russian, French, and German.

"Which game shall we choose next?"

Cowgirl suggested: "Shall we add some difficulty?"

"Choose Forest Cottage!"

Gu Qingqiu looked at Lin Baici: "What do you think?"

"Alright!"

Lin Baici had no particular preference.

"No time to lose, let’s go!"

Xia Hongyao raised her arm and shouted!

"Oppa!"

Kim Myungjin wanted to follow, her voice had a tinge of grievance.

"You all have missions too, keep an eye on what’s happening on the ship at all times!"

Lin Baici instructed.

Liao Hongming saw Lin Baici and the others enter the game pod, and he hurriedly ran to the pod he used earlier.

He actually wanted to rest for a few hours, but if he did, he wouldn’t be able to benefit from Lin Baici’s perks.

The ’Claypot Rice’ game just now was on simple difficulty, but Liao Hongming knew that, on his own, he wouldn’t clear it in this lifetime, so he realized his limitations, didn’t dare to be cocky anymore, and seized every opportunity to closely follow Lin Baici.

Select game, click to log in!

Everything in front of Liao Hongming turned white, and when he could see clearly again, he found himself standing outside a European-style town.

This town wasn’t big, there were no roads, just one slightly paved path cutting through the town.

The town had some two-story wooden houses on both sides, surrounded by large stretches of pine trees, looking like balding bachelors.

It was probably winter now, as the cold wind blew, making people shiver.

"Damn, where is everyone?"

Liao Hongming couldn’t see anyone,

panicking!

"God Lin!"

He knew yelling might attract danger, but if he didn’t shout, he wouldn’t be able to join up with Lin Baici, and he’d be dead.

"What are you shouting for?"

Cowgirl was teleported over and heard Liao Hongming yelling, making her so angry she gave him a flying kick.

Liao Hongming was kicked to the ground, but didn’t have time to be angry: "It seems like God Lin and the others didn’t come, did they trick us?"

"They wouldn’t, would they?"

Cowgirl was stunned, glanced at the town, and started shouting too.

"God Lin!"

Cowgirl’s voice was much louder than Liao Hongming’s, even with an echo.

"Someone’s there!"

Just as Liao Hongming was about to continue shouting, he saw someone running out of the town, startling him.

"Jiang Ge?"

Cowgirl spotted him—he was the same black guy.

"God Lin didn’t come with you guys?"

Jiang Ge frowned. He had been teleported to the other end of the town and didn’t see Lin Baici, so he came running over here first thing.

But still didn’t find him!

This is troublesome!
