Chapter 520: Just this? … So tempting!

"Damn, well done! I see this guy every day while taking a walk; he doesn't look like a good person at all, looks like a murderer… By the way, Police comrade, what crime did this kid commit, and why did you arrest him?"

Onlookers: "……"

"You don't even know what the person did, why are you shouting JB nonsense?"

"What the hell, well done?!"

"You must be insane!"

The police officers carrying out this arrest mission were at that moment all flustered, not knowing what to say.

Almost every time they conduct a public arrest, they encounter this kind of situation.

Some uninformed passersby, though clueless about what happened or why the Police are arresting someone, just want to cheer. ωωw.. net

"Don't ask; the question is just how well they caught him, and that kid doesn't look like a good person."

Amid the Onlookers' cheers, the police officers escorted the freshly captured suspect back to the Police Station.

……

Interrogation Room.

Han Fei took out a photo taken at the crime scene when the report came in; in the picture, a corpse was embedded in the concrete pier of Binjiang Bridge.

Pointing at the photo, Han Fei looked at the man before him and said, "You did this, right?"

"Hmm." The man's expression was very calm; he didn't refute Han Fei, gave a crooked smile and nodded, "It was me."

Without waiting for Han Fei to continue questioning, he began to recount everything in detail.

"My father died in a car accident when I was very young; a few years later my mother remarried, marrying this Lao Wang bastard, who became my stepfather."

"From the day I went to his house, he never gave me a good look, was abusive, would beat and scold me at the slightest, and also beat my mother."

"He stopped me from finishing high school, took me to a construction site to work with him; he took all my wages, saying he was saving them for me, to use when I got married."

"When I was twenty‑three I got a girlfriend, brought her home, told that Lao Wang bastard I wanted to marry, asked him to hand over the money I had saved with him, but he said there was none. That's when I realized he never saved any money for me; all the money I earned was taken by him to gamble."

"Because I had no bride price, the girlfriend I was about to marry fell through; that was money I had scraped together over years of hard labor at the site, and he gambled it all away, losing everything and leaving a mountain of debt."

"Later, debt collectors came daily, threatening and intimidating; my mother already had heart disease, and the scare caused her to have an attack on the spot, and she died because treatment was delayed."

"He ruined my whole life; I hate him so much that… one night while on night duty pouring concrete, I strangled him and pushed his body into the freshly poured cement."

"The original wife of that Lao Wang bastard fled with the child long before my mother remarried, so at that time, aside from the collectors, no one in the world cared about his life or death; as long as I didn't report it, no one would know he was missing."

"To avoid suspicion, after the incident I told the fellow workers that he had fled abroad to escape debt."

"For more than twenty years, after dinner each night I would walk on the bridge, stepping on his corpse twice to ease the hatred in my heart."

"I originally thought you wouldn't find me in this lifetime, but you still caught me…"

At that, the man paused, then, with a very curious gaze, examined Xu Mo and Han Fei, and asked.

"I'm really curious about something; can you answer me? This happened so long ago, how did you trace it back to me?"

The man's account matches essentially what Han Fei and the others uncovered.

Back then, when the victim died, the Police Station never received any report, not even a missing‑person case.

The reason is that the victim's original wife fled early with the child, and the man's mother died of heart disease; essentially nobody paid any attention to the victim—whether alive or dead, missing or not—except debt collectors trying to collect money.

"Sorry, no comment," Han Fei shook his head, offering no answer.

Come to think of it, this case is rather coincidental.

Although nobody cared about the victim back then and no one reported his mysterious disappearance, the corpse buried in the bridge pier was discovered more than twenty years later.

The case's era was so distant, and the Police Station hadn't even received a missing‑person report, so the police couldn't even confirm the victim's identity.

Solving the case once seemed "impossible," and Han Fei even considered giving up.

The reason the case could be clarified was mainly thanks to Xu Mo; without Xu Mo's idea, the case might never have been solved.

Seeing that Han Fei didn't intend to tell him the solving process, the man said nothing, as if he had already guessed the outcome.

He just curled his somewhat dry, cracked lips into a cold smile.

"If you don't want to say, that's fine; whether you know or not doesn't matter. To have killed that old bastard and still lived carefree for over twenty years, I guess I'm pretty bold…"

After speaking, he simply leaned back in the interrogation chair, looking indifferent.

Han Fei briefly organized the transcript and handed it to the man.

"Take a look; these are the words you said. If there's no problem, sign here."

The man didn't even glance at it, took the pen and signed his name on the last page; he seemed to have let go, indifferent to everything.

Han Fei didn't comment on the man's habit of signing without reading; the transcript was fine either way, whether he read it or not the result was the same.

But come to think of it, this man is almost the most proactive murderer Han Fei has encountered since starting his career.

He hadn't even asked much before the other side just gave up.

……

After the interrogation ended, a notification sound rang in Xu Mo's mind as usual.

"You successfully captured the criminal and earned a reward—'Sheep a Sheep' walkthrough (100% completion); Criminal Capture Radar range increased by one meter (current range is 125 meters)."

Xu Mo: "?"

He had indeed heard of Sheep a Sheep; it's a tiny game that's been popular lately, and its developer supposedly bought two houses outright thanks to it.

"But what the heck is this walkthrough?"

"I don't even play it, damn!"

"What's the use of me getting this walkthrough?"

"Besides, it's just a tiny game; what value can its walkthrough have? This reward is far off from any reward the system has given before!"

"Just this?"

"Just this?"

"Just this?!"

However, just as Xu Mo began to complain, his phone immediately started vibrating wildly.

"Ding, vx received one yuan!"

"Ding, vx received one yuan!"

"Ding, vx received one yuan!"

"Ding, vx received one yuan!"

"……"

The considerate system not only rewarded Xu Mo with a tutorial for this little game, but also started selling the tutorial online!

One reason everyone plays this game is that they want to bring honor to their own province, so at this point whether the game is fun or not no longer matters.

Even if they don't eat mantou, they still have to save face; failing a level would embarrass their province, wouldn't it?

Coincidentally, a tutorial for this game appeared online at that moment, and it guarantees 100% clearance.

Thus, a large number of people who couldn't clear the levels bought the walkthrough tutorial one after another, mainly because the tutorial was cheap—only one yuan per copy—so you can't lose by buying it nor be scammed!

At this point, Xu Mo's vx balance rose like a money‑grinding cheat, climbing by dozens each second, and just watching it made him feel delighted!

"This... is really tempting!"
