Chapter 191: The Police Inquiry (2)
"That guy is a total freak; I'm so pretty, yet he rejected me. And do you know what his reason for rejecting me was? He actually said he's gay. Can you believe that?"
Kanon turned her head, her face filled with anger.
This completely baffled the police officers and the Supervisor, who exchanged looks, utterly at a loss for how to handle the situation.
Kanon's performance was simply too brilliant.
Even the netizens in the real world couldn't stop praising her.
"Damn... If I didn't know what was going on, I'd have been fooled by her."
"Is Kanon's special talent face-changing?"
"Did she actually fool the NPCs?"
The police officer coughed twice, then asked, "So... you two were close before? Do you know what kind of business he has been doing recently?"
"I don't know."
"We're investigating a case here. Could you please be serious with us?"
"I really don't know."
Kanon shook her head.
Since the police had come to question her personally, it indicated they hadn't found any key evidence; otherwise, they would have definitely arrested him and locked him up by now. As long as she played dumb and claimed ignorance, there was nothing they could do to her.
Er Gou had a phone in his possession, and it was crucial to maintain a good relationship with Er Gou. No matter what, she had to gain access to that phone.
What should I care about the police's intentions? It's none of my business.
"Alright then, you can go back," he said dismissively.
The police officer shook his head helplessly.
Although he wanted to crack open Kanon's head to ask her questions, he really had no way to do so; the rules didn't allow it. Even though he was a second-class citizen, he still didn't have the right to take the life of a third-class citizen.
The only one who could decide the fate of humans was "Him."
"Hmph."
Kanon scoffed coldly and left the office.
The viewers opinions of Kanon began to change slightly.
"This woman didn't betray Er Gou?"
"That's somewhat out of character for her. I thought she would seduce the police."
"Clearly, the plot around Er Gou is more interesting to dig into!"
Kanon and Dennis were asked to speak with the police, and Gu Yi was no exception.
(You: Why should I?)
(Police Officer: Because you have been convicted of spreading chaos before, the police have the right to require you to report regularly.)
(While speaking, the police officer took out a handbook from his pocket.)
(He is holding a book of rules that starts with the letter "B." You quickly glance at it, and indeed, within the "B" series of rules, there exists such a regulation.)
(The timing of 10 p.m. is very indicative.)
(It's almost as if they are telling you that the police already know what Er Gou does in the dark street every night at ten. At the same time, they also hope to use you to warn Er Gou not to mess around.)
(It's clear that the police could directly capture Er Gou for interrogation, yet they went around in circles through you, unable to directly deal with Er Gou.)
(You can't help but admire Er Gou's criminal methods; even so, the police can't find any solid evidence of his crimes.)
(Police Officer: Now, you can go back to work.)
(You return to the mine.)
(There is nothingness before your eyes.)
(You terminate the deduction!)
Gu Yi remained silent for a moment before following the Supervisor to the office, where he answered the police's questions one by one.
At this time, the Dragon Country's strategy team also recorded the entire conversation between Gu Yi and the police.
The three individuals all had contact with the police officer but ended up with vastly different outcomes.
"Dennis collaborated with the police, becoming an undercover spy.
Kanon refused to provide any useful information, but the police couldn't do much about her.
However, Gu Yi attracted special attention from the police officer, who even required him to report to the police station every night at 10 p.m.
Clearly, the police's attitude is directly related to the adventurers' actions. The closer the relationship with Er Gou, the more restrictions the police impose on the adventurers.
Dennis did not collaborate with Er Gou, and even voluntarily disclosed everything, earning the police's trust. As long as he can successfully complete his mission, he can smoothly achieve a normal clearance level.
Currently, Dennis seems to be on the most reliable strategy route. Whereas Gu Yi, entangled deeply with Er Gou and now even living in Er Gou's house, will face significantly increased difficulty in his strategy."
Xi Wang spoke while jotting notes in his notebook.
The strategy team's agents also furrowed their brows.
Obviously, the transaction at 10 p.m. each night is a crucial plot point. If one can't freely go to the transaction point before ten, then the plot can't progress at all.
Old Zhai looked calmly at the screen and leisurely said, "Why are you all so nervous? I think this is a good thing."
"Why?"
"The more difficulties Gu Yi faces, the more it indicates that his path of action is correct. He's accustomed to aiming for a perfect level of completion."
