【Master successfully completed mission 【Assassinate Xichuan Gong Xiucai】】

【Congratulations, Master, you have received mission rewards…】

【Congratulations, Master, you have obtained skill 【Holographic Projection Map lV1】】

【Holographic Projection Map lv1】: Master can view a detailed model of oneself within 1 square kilometer.

Oh ho?

Map?

This is indeed a good thing.

Chen Yongren immediately opened the map.

The next moment.

Chen Yong if before eyes pops out a light blue 3D see-through diagram, all buildings within 1 square kilometer fully appear before Chen Yongren's eyes.

The map can be zoomed in, also zoomed out, likewise can be panned up, down, left, right back and forth.

Not only the buildings above, even the sewer pipes are also shown.

The house details are very good.

Not to mention the items placed inside the house, even the hidden ventilation ducts inside the house can be seen clearly through the map.

With this map, future infiltration work will be easier!

This old devil really has something.

Before Chen Yongren could recover from the joy of obtaining the new skill, he heard a series of system notification sounds again.

【Congratulations, Master, successfully assassinated Special Higher Police General-level Officer, discovered strategic-level intelligence clue, Spy King System upgrade successful】

【The system's original functions remain unchanged, a new function added】

New function: 【Master can now grant potion-type rewards to subordinates for use】

【Congratulations, Master, successfully killed section chief-level target, randomly strengthened one non-upgradable skill】

【Dagger Mastery】 strengthening successful.

【Dagger Mastery】 (Strengthened): Master's control over daggers becomes more refined, not limited to dagger combat techniques, within 10 meters can precisely strike any part of the target's body.

Also added a new function?

Chen Yongren's eyes lit up, potions can be given to his subordinates for use?

The system is really thoughtful.

Once betrayed, the system will reclaim all potion effects, so it won't let the treacherous dog take advantage.

Afterwards.

Chen Yongren heard another system notification sound.

【Master successfully killed Xichuan Gong Xiucai, obtained one lottery chance】

【Congratulations, Master, obtained skill 【Bone Shrinking Skill Master】】

【Bone Shrinking Skill Master】: Master can shrink one's bones to child size, even the tiniest hole can be successfully crawled into.

Seeing this skill, Chen Yongren's eyes lit up.

This skill, pretty neat.

After glancing at the corpse beside his feet, Chen Yongren curled his lips, relying on the Crime Scene Disguise Master skill, he cleaned up all traces of his presence spotlessly.

Just finished doing all that.

Outside the door again sounded a knock, simultaneously a voice sounded.

"Your Highness the Prince, the guests are waiting for you to speak, how much longer do you need?"

Damn, just wanted to walk back through the door, and someone came to block it?

"Your Highness the Prince?"

"Your Highness the Prince, what's wrong?"

The knocking outside the door grew more urgent, Chen Yongren remained expressionless, his gaze fell on a vent on the wall.

Normally speaking, for an adult like Chen Yongren, this hole is indeed too small, utterly unable to accommodate him completely.

But…

Chen Yongren glanced at the newly obtained Bone Shrinking Skill Master skill.

Look, isn't this just a coincidence?

Chen Yongren immediately moved a chair to the wall and stepped on it.

The protective net had no screws; Chen Yongren exerted a little force with his hand and directly removed it.

First place the net over the vent, then return the chair to its original position, clean up traces, Chen Yongren took a run-up and clung to the edge of the vent.

Bone Shrinking Skill activated!

The originally sturdy Chen Yongren, his bones shrank together, quickly becoming only the height of a six- or seven-year-old child, just enough to crawl into the vent.

Although his whole body was confined in the narrow passage, Chen Yongren felt no discomfort.

The commotion outside the door grew louder.

"Hurry, smash the door open, Your Highness the Prince must have met with an accident!"

"Your Highness the Prince, we have offended you, please don't blame us!"

"Smash the door!"

Immediately after, the sound of bang bang bang of door slamming rang out.

Chen Yongren calmly restored the protective net, lying at the vent watching the show.

A muffled "bang" sound.

The door was suddenly flung open.

Immediately afterward, Chen Yongren saw three or four Japanese soldiers stumbling into the room.

Seeing the miserable death of Qichuan Gong Xiuzai, these little Japanese soldiers first froze, then let out a wail as if they had lost their parents.

Prince!

Prince!

Military doctor, military doctor!

……

The scene instantly descended into chaos.

The news of Qichuan Gong Xiuzai's sudden suicide quickly spread throughout the consulate.

The guests who had come to attend the banquet were all bewildered, utterly clueless about what was happening, and the consulate was immediately placed under lockdown.

The doctor in the consulate rushed over upon hearing the news; seeing the blood all over the ground and the corpse kneeling there, still in the act of disembowelment, he knew Qichuan Gong Xiuzai could not be saved.

But the doctor still went through the motions as usual, conducted a thorough examination, and then helplessly shook his head.

Prince, Prince!

Upon hearing the news of Qichuan Gong Xiuzai's suicide by disembowelment, Yugong Heren stumbled in, running, and saw the corpse lying on the stretcher.

Qichuan Gong Xiuzai's eyes were wide open, his gaze twisted and clenched together; one could tell at a glance that his death was uneasy.

"How could this happen?" Yugong Heren asked in disbelief.

This was his biggest backer; with the Prince dead, how could he possibly maintain his position in the Special Agency?

"What are the autopsy results?" Tengyuan Jintai asked a captain.

"Judging from the way the Prince held the knife and the bite marks on the scabbard, the Prince definitely died by suicide." The captain said with a sorrowful expression.

"Suicide?" Tengyuan Jintai felt it was absurd.

The captain nodded and added, "We have already conducted a thorough examination of the scene; no trace of a second person was found."

"Could there be a problem somewhere?" Tengyuan Jintai asked again.

If he wanted to commit suicide, why go through all this trouble, inviting people from all walks of life in Songhu to attend the banquet?

"Major His Excellency, we first examined the room thoroughly and indeed found nothing suspicious." The captain said in a low voice.

"If the Prince had suddenly been attacked, why didn't he call for help, and besides, we found no signs of a struggle in the room."

"Besides the small vent on the wall, the only way into the room is that door."

Tengyuan Jintai followed the captain's gaze to the vent, his brows slightly furrowed.

Such a small opening would be hard for even a slightly larger child to crawl through, let alone an assassin.

"Major His Excellency, Songhu has seen too many things lately, plus the frequent assassination attempts in recent days, the Prince has been under great pressure."

The captain paused, then mysteriously pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket.

"I found this when I entered the room; I was worried it would cause too great an impact, so I secretly hid it…"

"What is it?" Tengyuan Jintai curiously took it.

Looking at the first two characters, his eyebrows involuntarily twitched twice.

A suicide note.
