There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game-Chapter 750 - 642: Themis Is Here

Chapter 750: Chapter 642: Themis Is Here

The next day.

Pei Sheng came to work honestly.

Moreover, he also sincerely discussed the revisions of the planning case with Los, didn’t cause any mischief the whole day, and even rejected Angela’s message asking him out again.

The main reason was, thinking of Angela stealing the Brocade Pouch Talisman Paper, she might have suspected the paper was some secret and that’s why she took it.

Furthermore, Pei Sheng realized yesterday that he might not have encountered true love after all.

Because of that, the evening movie date program was also canceled by Pei Sheng; after coming out of Joy World, the two of them had a lackluster parting.

...

After returning to the studio, Pei Sheng was confined to the rooftop where he was blasted with hot wind for an hour.

When he got home, he was caught by his elder brother and given a thorough lecture.

After this happened several times, Pei Sheng felt weary at heart.

This romance, it’s better not to pursue it!

…

Xu Shuo noticed that Pei Sheng changed to a different prop, and compared with the previous Purification Talisman Paper, it seemed to have added protective features.

But definitely not as good as Xu Xi’s, nor as plentiful as the props in Xu Xi’s small backpack.

He glanced at it once and then turned his gaze back to the computer.

But the screen in front of him was not the usual office system, it was the interface of a news website, with familiar images of Joy World on the page.

The sudden lockdown of Mingzhu Fun World the day before had actually already stirred up by evening.

After Peace Street in Heiyu District, another place controlled by the officials with the same strong attitude, this had caused some speculation and panic in Yang City.

However, what Xu Shuo paid attention to wasn’t this news.

It was the information released by the police.

After browsing for most of the day, Xu Shuo finally found what he was looking for—a police bulletin, an old case from several years ago had been dug up.

Although the incident had been classified as an accident and closed at the time, since the statute of limitations hadn’t expired, the police decided to reinvestigate.

Xu Shuo glanced at the person in charge of the case, then copied the link and forwarded it to Pei Hong.

Xu Shuo: [?]

Pei Hong: [1]

It wasn’t long before the other side replied,

and the exchange ended quickly.

Pei Hong shared a contact’s business card, essentially, if you need to contact the police, you can ask this person for help.

He couldn’t even be bothered to ask Xu Shuo why he wanted to investigate this matter, besides business-related discussions which they went into detail, other matters were simply this kind of straightforward mutual benefit.

Of course, if Pei Hong was also interested, he would conduct his own covert investigation.

For example, since this matter involved Mingzhu Fun World, after reading the news, Pei Hong thought about it and instructed his secretary to see to it.

…

Meanwhile, Xu Shuo quickly contacted that person and sent the news link again.

He asked bluntly: “Why reinvestigate this case?”

The other side: [?]

The other side: [Oh, I saw President Pei’s message.]

The other side: [It’s Director Chen, he was the person in charge of the case back then, but he felt the accident conclusion was too hasty, and actually kept the case open. Last night he suddenly made a request to his superiors, claiming he had figured out the method used in the original incident, and asked to reopen the case.]

The other side: [That’s all I can tell you, nothing more to disclose.]

The information he shared didn’t involve any secrets, and the police would also release a statement on their official website once the case was closed.

Xu Shuo thoughtfully read through it, and then replied with a “Thank You.”

And that was that.

The expectant person on the other end, hoping for a bonus: “…”

After waiting a long time and not seeing any follow-up to those two words, he realized with some disappointment that the chance for a bonus was probably gone, and that this peculiar person probably only needed the above information.

—The seemingly useless kind.

…

Useless to others, but somewhat useful to Xu Shuo.

Yesterday evening.

Aside from burying something, he had asked Luo Kai if it was possible to reveal the truth to the police, and although it seemed like a compromise was reached without doing anything additional back then.

In fact, Xu Shuo used the Mind Network to leave a segment of memory in the mind of that leading officer.

He didn’t know if that memory would be of any use, but it was just something he tried on a whim.

Now, looking at the information on the computer screen, Xu Shuo wondered—perhaps there really was something off with this world.

He had once asked Themis about “time,” but the explanation given by Themis was still “the past shapes the future.”

Which means his future actions are predestined, and they will indeed trigger that kind of situation in the past.

This change felt like destiny.

Was it destined that he would become a player, that he would encounter the Ghost Ship, and even more so, was it predetermined that he would leave a memory in a police officer’s mind at Mingzhu Fun World?

Frankly, Xu Shuo found this destiny laughable.

And he didn’t believe that every step of his future was already preordained.

For example, if he were to commit suicide in the next second, would that too be something predetermined by fate?

…Surely not?

Xu Shuo shook his head to dispel the random thoughts when suddenly, a small red dot lit up in the upper right corner and flickered from time to time.

A player was continuously sending him messages.

Xu Shuo casually opened it, expecting it might be Luo Kai coming to talk about the “roller coaster murder incident,” but seeing who the contact was energized him.
