Chapter 113 Detective Time

The Game Lord Cultivation's System started buzzing for a few moments before showing a completed status sign.

Ding!

<Initializing System Personification>

Afterward, Jiang Ming's vision blurred for a few moments before a sudden wave of knowledge flushed his mind, almost like a broken dam was gushing out water.

Thankfully, the knowledge he's receiving was not painful as the previous time. In fact, the knowledge transfer was so smooth that Jiang Ming felt like he was swimming above the clouds, tranquil and carefree.

Ding!

<Game Lord's Cultivation System wishes Player Jiang Ming good luck on the beta version>

By the time Jiang Ming reopened his eyes, the crime scene seemed to have changed completely for him.

Previously, all he could identify was the abnormal flesh in the corpses and nothing else.

However, now he could tell that the crime scene was filled with evidence; evidence that can help him reconstruct the entire scene.

The source of this content is nov/el/bin[./]net'

His eyes had turned red and his face started twitching when he caught on to a clue. Taking a step forward, Jiang Ming noticed the steel fence.

The steel fence was a bit rusty but other than that, it looked neat and sturdy.

He squinted his eyes slightly and walked toward the steel fence. Although the steel fence was silver in color with no sign of blood, he could subtly tell that there was a hint of blood splattered on the fence before.

Jiang Ming doesn't know why, but with a glance, he could tell that the bloodstains on the steel fence were wiped cleanly by the culprit.

"White vinegar and bleach…" he muttered.

If it were anyone else investigating the scene, Jiang Ming was sure that no one would be able to tell that the crime scene had been modified before.

After all, the rotten flesh of the corpse alone was enough to confuse and deter anyone from detecting white vinegar and bleach being used.

Of these two things used, Jiang Ming found it logical since the crime scene is just right next to a restaurant. And restaurants would have these two things since sanitation is extremely important.

'According to Qizhi Shun's words, the killing had happened 3 hours ago. Yet the decaying of the corpses indicates otherwise.' Jiang Ming thought.

The corpse decaying indicated that it should have been a few days since the kill had occurred. The flesh that was gushing out from the corpse had long been decomposed, showing that at least a day had gone by.

Rubbing his chin slightly, Jiang Ming closed his eyes as he tried to visualize the actual crime scene with the clues he had obtained so far.

The victim was a middle-aged man but should have a somewhat decent cultivation base, considering the amount of blood loss he had, and was still able to retain some of his body features.

After mentally visualizing, Jiang Ming figured out one main point; the victim knows the killer personally.

'If the victim knows exactly who the killer is, then they must have planned a meeting here to discuss something. Not to mention, the time of death was calculated wrongly by Qizhi Shun, meaning the chance of the killer remaining in Lavender Heaven is unlikely.' Jiang Ming concluded.

With this information collected, Jiang Ming was ready to interrogate the customers in the Lavender Heaven.

Unfortunately for him though, before he could take another step forward, a new system prompt appeared.

Ding!

<System Personification Usage is over~>

<Hopefully Player Jiang Ming found the function useful>

–

Jiang Ming twitched his brows when he finished reading the system prompt.

He had barely just started his investigation yet the Personification is already over.

What kind of scam is this?

"GLCS, are you serious? What's the point of me gathering all that evidence and details about the crime scene?" Jiang Ming cursed aloud.

Alas, no matter how much he screamed and cussed, it was a futile effort. The GLCS remained ignorant and seemed to have ignored his complaint.

"Damn it, no wonder why it's called the beta version for a reason." Jiang Ming stomped the ground angrily.

A beta version meant that the program is still under development and not fully developed. Therefore, having such errors or a short duration of the function is understandable.

However, being understandable does not mean accepting the cruelty of such a result.

"Argh, whatever, I'll just interrogate without the knowledge of those detectives. It's not like I have no experience when playing detective games." Jiang Ming scratched his head.

After tidying up his clothes, he snapped his finger and inlaid some special formation, one that would notify him as soon as possible if someone else entered the scene.

Jiang Ming made a double-check at the crime scene before entering back at the restaurant. Once he stepped foot in the restaurant, it was like a breath of fresh air had entered his nostrils.

"Haaa, although the pill I consumed beforehand helped me ignore the rotten flesh smell, it's still better to breathe in something fragrance." He sighed. "S-Sir Jiang Ming." Just when Jiang Ming was minding his own business, an Imperial Soldier walked over and greeted him.

Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow. "What happened, soldier?"

"Commander Yuan had ordered for your appearance on the second floor as soon as you came out."

"I see…"

Sometime later, Jiang Ming followed the Imperial Soldier's lead as he brought him to a secluded room on the second floor.

The Imperial Soldier knocked on the door lightly and said, "Commander Yuan, I have brought Sir Jiang Ming over."

"Let him in."

The Imperial Soldier nodded his head as he quickly moved aside and made way for Jiang Ming to enter when he heard Yuan Chunhua's voice.

Jiang Ming found it suspicious on the arrangement, but couldn't pinpoint where exactly.

Thus, he decided to push open the door to see what Yuan Chunhua was up to.

The moment he entered, Jiang Ming's eyes nearly popped out when he saw another female sitting beside Yuan Chunhua.

"Bing Tong, what are you doing here at a crime scene?" Jiang Ming asked in a dumbfounded tone.
