Chapter 695: Chapter 596 Miss Jenny

[You have entered the theater.]

As Xu Shuo opened his eyes, he first glanced at his surroundings, then opened the Player’s Handbook to check the skill section.

Hmm, besides the Character Card, all abilities had been sealed.

So, is this a real deal?

However, since these scripts were just there to make up the numbers, he wasn’t going to fret about how many useful skills and items he could get from this script.

First things first, time to jack up that deduction score!

...

Xu Shuo opened his character information to take a look.

At first glance, um…

At second glance, hmm??

Xu Shuo’s eyes suddenly lit up, somewhat surprised to see [Inspector Berrod] written in the character section, and upon viewing the detailed information of the character, indeed, it clearly stated—he was a positive character!

Not a hint of a reversal element, as straightforward and upright as one could be!

Oho?

Rarely obtaining such a positive role, Xu Shuo was indeed surprised, after all, he had almost become accustomed to frequently playing the murderer.

But looking at this character’s information…

This time, he was supposed to catch a murderer!

[Main Mission: Apprehend the mastermind behind the “Jenny Incident.” (Submission type)]

Suddenly, Xu Shuo felt full of energy!

There was an abundance of information for this character, and he sat in the swivel chair at the office, poring over the dim lighting.

The origin of the case—

Within just one month, the Luona District had seen five similar poisoning deaths, and behind these incidents, there was always the figure of a beautiful woman named “Jenny.”

Jenny was a regular dancer at the Fragrant Residence Bar, who, with her beautiful looks and enchanting dance moves, attracted quite a number of admiring customers.

However, there was no concrete evidence that directly pointed to Jenny as the murderer.

Because three of the deceased were killed at the Fragrant Residence Bar after parting with Miss Jenny.

Consequently, the prime suspect was the owner of the Fragrant Residence Bar, followed by the bar’s bartender, and several regular patrons.

Inspector Berrod was the police inspector of the Luona District, a new inspector who had been promoted from the Lower District to the Luona District a month earlier.

He encountered such a case just one month into his new role.

He felt someone was intentionally targeting him!

Having read up to this point, Xu Shuo specifically glanced at the character’s basic settings.

The basic setting outlined the character’s personality before being played, and although players could create a brand new personality, acting according to the basic settings would also provide a boost to the deduction score.

Inspector Berrod, then, had a bit of a persecution complex.

He was promoted from the Lower District, coming from a poor background, and was exceptionally promoted due to his outstanding performance.

In this world, although it wasn’t overtly shown, there was nonetheless some kind of class consciousness.

So, the disdain he faced since childhood fostered Berrod’s suspicious symptoms, also endowing him with a hint of resentment towards authority and the wealthy.

Ever since the “Jenny Incident” occurred, many in the Luona District had been mocking the newly minted inspector—even if they weren’t mocking, Berrod could imagine the ridicule.

Therefore, he swore to drag that puppeteer out of the shadows!

Hmm, quite the hot-blooded yet foolish young inspector.

After reviewing the character information, Xu Shuo once again surveyed his surroundings in the Illusory Realm.

This was Inspector Berrod’s office.

The desk was covered with materials related to the “Jenny Incident” collected by the police station over this period, totaling at least thirty-something individuals.

And now, it was one o’clock in the morning.

This newly appointed inspector planned to go through all these documents early and analyze them to finally catch the murderer and prove himself!

Although Xu Shuo also believed in working overtime,

Solo flights, however, were quite foolish.

Xu Shuo immediately rang the bell, summoning the officer on night duty outside to come in.

“Help me sort out these files, find everything related to Jenny Guan, and create a clear timeline of her activities. Go do it now.”

The officer looked at the stack of files, stunned, then nodded, “Yes, sir!”

After delegating most of the work, Xu Shuo finally felt much relieved, but the information he kept for himself involved the most suspicious individuals.

Miss Jenny, the nightclub singer.

The owner of Fragrant Residence Bar.

A bartender who had changed several jobs.

An enthusiastic patron who was mesmerized by Jenny.

Besides, there was another slightly special person—a noble young master from a wealthy family.

Lately, he seemed to be pursuing Jenny, even going so far as to leave his status behind to mingle in the bars of Midtown District, all for the chance to see Miss Jenny, said to be a legendary exquisite beauty.

Having read so much about Jenny’s allure, Xu Shuo couldn’t help but be curious himself.

Just how beautiful could Miss Jenny be to attract so many admirers flocking to her, who would not give up even after five people had died?

He flipped through the files related to Jenny.

In the photo, there was a beautiful woman smiling charmingly in a lively bar, with colorful neon lights shining on her face, and her golden hair seeming to glow, accentuating her unparalleled beauty.

She was stunning to the point of being indescribable.

An otherworldly beauty.

This woman, from her appearance to her figure, radiated a sense of shockingly flawless perfection!

Xu Shuo was taken aback himself.

Undeniably, Jenny must be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen; her beauty seemed meticulously measured, one iota more would be vulgar, one iota less would be plain.

You might say that your taste differs.

But her beauty seemed to blend everyone’s aesthetic preferences together.

She possessed the gentle grace of an innocent woman and the enchanting tenderness of a seductive one; sweet yet spicy, submissive yet dominant—probably describing this kind of woman.

However, perhaps she was too perfect.

Xu Shuo always felt that something was off.

Could there really be such a perfect woman in the world?

About this Jenny, aside from scattered pieces of information, there was nothing regarding her identity. This woman appeared as if she had emerged out of thin air.

Most of her photographs were taken at entertainment venues like bars, dance halls, nightclubs, and casinos.

People speculated that her origins couldn’t be noble, for she only lingered in places like Lower District and Midtown District, seemingly a homeless freelance dancer.

People also guessed that she only enjoyed toying with emotions.

Because so far, no one had ever become a favored guest of hers.

Alluring yet aloof, frivolous yet distinguished, giving mixed signals and exceptional beauty—perhaps these were the real reasons she captured so much attention.

The images in the photographs were too static.

Xu Shuo decided to see this woman in person.

Only by meeting face to face could he determine what was truly peculiar about this woman.

He uploaded the information into his portable terminal, then changed out of his uniform into a set of formal plainclothes, concealing a short-barreled gun under his coat and a dagger inside his boot, and also carried an electronic shackle.

Xu Shuo had just finished preparing these items.

Suddenly.

An officer rushed into the office, anxious and exclaimed, “Sir, we’ve just received a report—there’s been another murder at Fragrant Residence Bar!”

Xu Shuo: “…Oh.”

Well, isn’t this just perfect?

It must mean that the plot is unfolding.

He needed to hurry to the scene before it was disturbed to collect clues—this was his first time playing the role of a detective in pursuit of a killer, and he felt a tad excited~
