Chapter 9: Go Out Together and Head Towards the Event!

"Are there any side quests?" Feng and Wang called up the game menu almost at the same time.

The words [Assist Tu Mei to solve the murder without a corpse] appeared in the task bar.

[Two days later, in the suburbs. ] Two seconds later, the scene was instantly changed again.

Blue sky, white clouds, green grass, and green distant mountains.

The surrounding scenery is in the style of elementary school students, and Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi, respectively, are integrated into this style with the images of anthropomorphic cats and falcons...

[On a sunny afternoon]

[Five friends Tu Mei, Xiong Ji, Miao Mei, Mao Sanlang and Falcon...]

[Make an appointment to have a picnic in the suburbs. ]

[However, what awaits them is...]

This side quest... actually has a corresponding introduction.

"What's going on?" Xiao Tan turned his head and looked at Brother Jue beside him and asked.

"Ah... Didn't the system prompt say it very clearly..." Feng Bujue sighed and replied, "Because we have disrupted the investigation three times, a side quest has been triggered."

"Could it be... After this, every time we help Xiong Ji escape three times, there will be a side quest?" Xiao Tan continued.

"Who knows..." Feng Bujue said, "Maybe the side quest will only come this time, or maybe... Starting from the third time of disrupting the investigation, every time an incident is solved, a side quest will be triggered. It is also possible that as you said... every time the investigation is disrupted three times, a side quest will be triggered." He shrugged, "In short... at least we have to wait until the second time the side quest is triggered, then we can preliminarily determine the pattern."

"Hmm..." Xiao Tan nodded, "By the way... Brother Jue." He seemed to have thought of something again, and said in a prompting tone, "Since it is a 'side quest', according to the game settings... even if it is not completed, it will not affect the clearance?"

"That's right." Feng Bujue replied, "This is the basic principle, so... it doesn't matter if we just play soy sauce in this task." He paused for half a second. He added, "Of course, it would be best if we can kill him, so that we can get more rewards after we pass the level."

"Hmm..." Xiao Tan lowered his head and thought, "Based on the information we know now, what we can speculate for the time being is that... the 'murderer' in this mission is definitely not Xiong Ji."

"Oh?" Feng Bujue showed an admiring look and smiled, "Hehe... Tell me, how did you speculate it?"

Xiao Tan thought and replied, "Since they are both tasks given by the system, the two cannot be contradictory. Since one of our main lines is [limiting the number of arrests of Xiong Ji to less than ten times], the real murderer of [assisting Tu Mei in solving the corpseless murder case] must not be Xiong Ji, otherwise it would violate this principle."

"Correct reasoning." Feng Bujue said, "The key is... the speed of thinking to draw conclusions is also very fast. It seems that you have been trained recently."

"Hehe..." Xiao Tan smiled embarrassedly, "Thank you."

"From childhood to adulthood, I have been guiding you step by step and teaching you earnestly, but you are still like a fool." Feng Bujue's next sentence changed the subject. He turned on the mocking mode, "And Gu Xiaoling... has only abused you for a few months, and you have learned to answer quickly." He paused, "It seems... you are a mean person."

"Hey... why didn't the system block your words..." Xiao Tan said with empty eyes.

"I guess the system also thinks what I said makes sense." Feng Bujue replied.

"The system also thinks I am mean!" Xiao Tan didn't know why. While complaining, he also looked up at the sky.

After the two of them stood there and chatted for a few minutes, two familiar figures came from a distance.

"Mao Saburo! Hayatarou!" Meow Mei stretched out her hand to greet them.

Tu Mei followed her and walked side by side with her.

Although they were out for fun. But their clothes and dressing were completely the same as when they went to school. Even the backpacks on their shoulders were the red backpacks commonly used in schools.

Today, Meow Mei was still wearing a light green dress. There was a red bow on her right ear. Tu Mei also wore the same green and pink dress, with the only thing that changed was the words on her clothes (the words on the front of Tu Mei's shirt often changed, and every time she appeared, there would be words such as "beast", "meat", "soil", "ankle" and other words full of slots and ambiguous meanings).

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." After they approached, Tu Mei said to Jue Ge and Xiao Tan.

After that, she turned around and looked around: "Eh? Hasn't Xiong Jijun come yet?"

"Uh... I didn't see him." Feng Bujue replied, and then said to Xiao Tan, "Falcon Taro, take a look with the eagle eye perspective."

"What eagle eye perspective... Assassin's Creed... For me, isn't it just a normal way of looking at things..." Although he kept muttering, Xiao Tan still stood on tiptoe and looked around.

He was just looking casually, but he didn't expect that he really saw it...

"Ah, I saw him, about a kilometer away from here." Xiao Tan said while looking in one direction.

"Oh." Tu Mei responded, "Then let's go first."

"Eh? Don't we have to wait for Xiong Ji? Tu Mei-chan." Miao Mei asked.

"He's just a pervert. It would be better if he didn't come." Tu Mei replied.

"Then why did you ask him where he is as soon as you get here..." Feng Bujue continued.

"Ok! Go!" Tu Mei ignored the complaints of Vision Brother and took Miao Mei's hand and strode forward.

…………

Fifteen minutes later.

"Haaa...Haaa..." Panting Xiong Ji finally caught up with the four of them, "Too much! Everyone! We agreed to set off together! Fortunately, this is a plain and I saw you. Otherwise, I wouldn't know you had already left!"

Beep beep--

Before Xiong Ji finished speaking, the keystrokes of his mobile phone had already sounded. This was the sound of Tu Mei calling the police.

In silence, four very different eyes looked at Xiong Ji.

They were sharp, embarrassed, painful, or like a dead fish...

"Hey! Why are you calling the police again!" Xiong Ji, who was naked and wearing a pink bra, looked at Tu Mei with an inexplicable look and asked, "What did I do?"

"Miscalculated..." Feng Bujue shook his head and read, "I almost forgot... During the process of the side quest, the main quest will not stop..."

"In other words... while we are completing this "corpseless murder case" mission, do we still have to beware of Xiong Ji's various perverted behaviors?" Xiao Tan continued.

“Ah… whatever…” Feng Bujue let out a long sigh, “Look at the bright side. In this incident, we still have a chance to stop Xiong Ji before he commits a crime…” (To be continued…)
