Protagonist:

Su Mo

【Reincarnator Sword Dance Master, since this is your first time entering the Reincarnation World, special reminder: keep your current identity information firmly in mind. This identity will help you adapt to the Copy World as quickly as possible and complete the Reincarnation Task. Remember: under no circumstances may you reveal any information about the Reincarnation World to anyone in the Copy World. Any violation will result in immediate elimination!】

「……」

One after another, the basic rules of the Reincarnation World appeared in Su Mo's mind, reminding him what he should and should not do.

When the system voice in his mind gradually faded, Su Mo took out his smartphone from his pocket.

「Eh~」

Looking at the silver-white phone in his hand, Su Mo was slightly surprised. After all, Fruit-brand phones were never cheap, so it seemed this body's financial situation was not bad.

There was a password on the phone, and Su Mo subconsciously entered a string of numbers.

Unlocked successfully.

Opening the camera, Su Mo began to examine his current appearance.

Under the phone lens at this moment, his appearance had undergone a huge change.

It was neither his real appearance nor the appearance set in the Reincarnation Space. Now he was a completely new image: first, his height had increased by five centimeters compared to before; judging by the mirror height, he was about 1.75 meters tall. His facial features were average, and he was not wearing a police uniform but a set of ordinary casual clothes.

Overall, he looked like a young man who had been in society for many years, appearing somewhat mature.

There was a small tag in his pocket recording the police officer's identity information.

Just as he was looking at the records on his phone, checking whether this identity could provide any useful help for the whole task, the phone suddenly rang.

【Dad, answer the phone, clap clap, stomp stomp stomp stand at attention, Dad answer the phone……】

Caller ID: Squad Leader.

Su Mo was slightly stunned, and the next second, information about this squad leader surged into his mind.

He pressed the answer key.

「Hey, Wang Ge, what's wrong? 」

「Xiao Yu's leave was suddenly canceled. There's an emergency—a homicide occurred inside the Bali Road Vehicular Tunnel. The higher-ups attach great importance to this case. The boss has ordered all officers of the Serious Crimes Unit to return to the unit! 」

「Yes, Squad Leader, I'll return to the unit immediately. 」

Just as he hung up, the system voice popped up in his mind again.

【Ding! Task started, please check it.】

【Main Quest: Catch the killer who murdered Mai Rong'en within forty-eight hours.】

【Task Time: Forty-eight hours.】

【Note: Complete the task as soon as possible and stop the killer from committing more homicides. The faster the task is completed, the higher the final evaluation. Remember: once forty-eight hours are up, all Reincarnators will be kicked out of the Reincarnation World!】

…………

Because Qingyu had already revealed the main quest of this task beforehand, Su Mo was not surprised after hearing the task issued by the system.

Forty-eight hours, find the killer.

Su Mo was very confident about this.

He even felt forty-eight hours was too much; giving him twenty-four hours a day would be more than enough!

Because he was familiar with the entire Instance and had long since locked onto the killer of the case!

「Hah……」

Su Mo put away his phone, turned around, and walked to the parking lot.

Inserting the key, turning on the circuit switch, starting the motorcycle and releasing the throttle—all in one smooth motion—the motorcycle shot off toward the police station like a wisp of smoke.

…………

A quarter of an hour later, Hong Kong Police Headquarters.

Su Mo showed his police ID and easily entered the Police Headquarters building. After parking his motorcycle, he went straight to the discussion room of the Serious Crimes Unit at the innermost part of the second floor.

When Su Mo entered, the room was already filled with all the officers of the Serious Crimes Unit. As he pushed the door open with determination, everyone's eyes turned to look at him in unison.

Among them, the sharpest gaze came from the front. Su Mo raised his head and saw a stern, unsmiling long-haired beauty standing right ahead.

According to the original owner's memories, Su Mo knew she was the heroine of this Copy World and also the Chief Inspector of the Hong Kong Serious Crimes Unit, Lu Xuanxin!

「……」

Noticing Lu Xuanxin's gaze fixed on him, Su Mo met her gaze without backing down.

「Hello, Chief! 」

「Eh? 」

Seeing that a small officer actually dared to meet her gaze, Lu Xuanxin felt slightly surprised in her heart, but then didn't think much of it. She waved her hand and said, 「Alright, hurry back to your seats. 」

「Xiao Yu, come over here. 」At this moment, Squad Leader Wang, who had been on the phone earlier, also spoke, calling Su Mo to his side.

「Yes, Squad Leader. 」

Su Mo nodded and sat back in his seat.

「Xiao Li, introduce to everyone all the information we've collected so far. 」At this time, Lu Xuanxin turned her head and gestured to the female officer beside her to introduce the situation of this case.

「Yes, Chief Lu! 」

The female officer nodded, operated the projector, and displayed photos of a Ferrari crashing into the tunnel, as well as several photos of Mai Rong'en seemingly inside the tunnel.

Then she stood up and began her introduction.

「The case occurred at 8:43 PM tonight. A Ferrari had a car accident inside the Salisbury Road Vehicular Tunnel. When we arrived at the scene, we found a total of one male corpse, with multiple injuries on his body, a visibly dislocated jaw, and a comminuted skull fracture. Based on our preliminary examination of the body at the scene, we can basically determine it was a homicide. According to the investigation, the deceased's name is Mai Rong'en, nicknamed Shark En, and he has multiple criminal records in our police station. 」

After pausing for a moment, the female officer pointed her laser pointer at the packaged drugs in the photo, as well as a black handgun and a silver metal swallow-shaped flying dart.

"We found a Glock 17 at the scene; all rounds had been fired. According to our preliminary analysis it belonged to the deceased. We also found some drugs on the ground and inside the carriage, and there was this metal flying dart next to the victim's body."

"This is all the information we have at present."

The policewoman finished speaking and returned to her seat.

"Alright."

Lu Xuanxin's gaze swept sharply over everyone, then he said in a deep voice, "This is the current situation of this case. The superiors have given us a death order to find the real culprit within one week. Everyone can speak up if they have any thoughts."

At this moment a police officer put down the recording pen in his hand and asked doubtfully, "Sir Lu, I remember there should be surveillance in the tunnel. Didn't the surveillance capture any trace of the killer?"

"The surveillance in the tunnel was deliberately damaged. Any other questions?" Lu Xuanxin responded.

"No more, sir."

Lu Xuanxin asked again, "Does anyone else have any ideas?"

"These clues are too few..."

"Right, we can't even find criminal traces. How are we supposed to find the killer!"

"Drugs... could it possibly be a revenge killing caused by a gang conflict?"
