Chapter 521: The police station's relics are solved, and the pursuit of suspicions is secretly
When the policewoman heard the words "Yuzheli", her originally formal smile froze instantly.
There was a barely perceptible nervousness in her. She calmly put down the documents in her hand and glanced back and forth between the three people, as if evaluating something.
"Yuzheli? Who are you to him?" Her tone became cautious, with a hint of inquiry.
Yunari took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. "I am his daughter, Yunari."
"Daughter?" The policewoman's tone was filled with a hint of surprise, and also seemed to be mixed with a hint of...
Understand?
She repeated it in a low voice, then said, "Please follow me. You need to register your information."
After saying that, she stood up and led the three of them into the police station.
Wu Hen followed behind, looking around calmly.
He noticed that several police officers who were originally chatting in the hall had stopped talking at this moment, and their eyes drifted towards them intentionally or unintentionally. The atmosphere was subtle and a little weird.
*Inner Monologue:* "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this atmosphere is like an underground party meeting. Is there going to be any trouble?"
Lin Qiye also noticed something strange. He gently touched Wu Hen's arm and signaled him to be alert with his eyes.
Wu Hen replied with a look of "got it", but in his heart he was thinking: "System, hurry up, is there any god-level blessing you can give me? In case I need to run away later, I'll have a guarantee!"
System prompt: "Host's needs detected. Now issuing a limited-time task: Imitate the barking of a police dog for three seconds. Reward: A magical talisman that allows instant movement of ten kilometers. Mission failure: Deduct 50% of the host's current appearance."
Wu Hen: “…”
"System, are you kidding me? I'm barking like a dog in public. Do I still have any dignity left?"
System prompt: "Friendly reminder: The host's current remaining amount of appearance is less than 10%, please choose carefully."
Wu Hen: “…”
"Okay, you're so cruel!"
He cleared his throat, prepared himself mentally, and waited for the right moment to complete this bizarre task.
When registering their information, Wu Hen and Lin Qiye naturally could not use their real names.
The two of them made up two names and a bunch of random numbers, and their contact information was even more fabricated.
The female police officer didn't seem to verify it seriously and just wrote it down hastily.
The three were taken deep into the police station. The doors on both sides of the corridor were closed, and the atmosphere became increasingly mysterious.
The air was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, mixed with some indescribable odor, which made Wu Hen feel a little uneasy.
*Inner Monologue:* "This place feels a bit eerie..."
At the end of the corridor, the female police officer stopped in front of an iron door, took out the key and unlocked it.
"Please come in." Her tone was still formal, but a hint of complex emotions flashed in her eyes.
Three people walked into the room...
The room was small and simply furnished, with an old wooden table, a few iron chairs, and a few dusty cardboard boxes piled in the corner.
There was a musty smell in the air, like a long-forgotten secret, revealing an indescribable depression.
The female police officer walked to the table and took out a small black wooden box from a cardboard box. There was a yellowed label on the box with "Yu Zheli's relics" written on it in a sloppy handwriting.
She placed the wooden box on the table with a slightly stiff movement and pushed it in front of Yunari, "It's all here."
Yunari looked at the wooden box in front of her, her eyes slightly red. She took a deep breath, stretched out her trembling hands, and slowly opened the box.
There were a few things lying quietly inside: a worn notebook, a pen, a pair of reading glasses, and a silver ring with an antique shape.
Wu Hen had sharp eyes and he had noticed the ring long ago.
"Oh, this ring has an interesting shape. Could it be some kind of magical artifact?"
His eyes lingered on the ring, and he began to think, "If I can get this ring, maybe it will trigger some weird quest!"
Lin Qiye's eyes were focused on the notebook. He had a vague feeling that there might be some important clues hidden in it.
Yunari picked up the ring and gently rubbed the surface of the ring with her fingertips.
"Is that all?" Yunari's voice was soft, with a hint of uncertainty, and her eyes swept over the other items on the table.
The female police officer nodded, her tone still formal, "Yes, these are all the relics of Mr. Yuzheli."
She picked up a document and handed it to Yunari, "Please sign here to confirm receipt."
Yunari didn't say much. She took the document, glanced at it quickly, and then signed her name at the end.
Her movements were calm, even a little numb, but deep in her eyes there was an indescribable emotion surging, melancholy, sadness, and a hint of doubt.
Wu Hen looked at Yunari who had signed and put away the relics, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little off.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this plot is a bit melodramatic. Why does it feel like a suspense drama?"
"Okay, if everything is fine, you can go." The female police officer packed up the documents and said in a cold tone.
Yunari stood up, picked up the small wooden box, turned and walked towards the door.
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen followed closely behind.
Just as the three of them reached the door, Yunari suddenly stopped, turned her head, and looked directly at the female police officer.
His voice was calm, yet with a subtle sharpness: "I'd like to ask, why is my father listed as a wanted criminal?"
The expression on the female police officer's face froze instantly. She wanted to say something but stopped herself, and finally just shook her head slightly.
At this moment, a rapid cell phone ring suddenly rang in the quiet room, breaking the eerie silence.
The female police officer seemed to be awakened. She suddenly took out her mobile phone, looked at the screen, and her face turned pale instantly.
She held the phone tightly, her fingertips trembling slightly, her lips moving as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
Yunari stared at the female police officer, her tone filled with suppressed anger: "What crime did my father commit? Why was he listed as a wanted criminal? And how... was he caught?"
A series of questions were fired at the female police officer like a machine gun, and the air in the room seemed to freeze.
The female police officer's face turned pale, her eyes flickered, and she stammered, "This... the reason for the wanted warrant is confidential. I have no right to disclose it..."
She paused, as if she was organizing her words.
"As for Yuzheli's...final outcome, the file records...she was killed by the divine messenger Oracle. The police were only responsible for the subsequent cleanup..."
"Killed by the Divine Messenger?" Yunari repeated these words, as if chewing on their meaning.
She pursed her lips
After completing the final handover procedures, Yunari held the box containing her father's ashes, feeling heavy, like a huge rock pressing on her heart.
Walking out of the police station, the glaring sunlight made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she squinted her eyes subconsciously.
Wu Hen followed behind Yunari, looking at her lonely back, feeling inexplicably blocked in his heart.
*Inner monologue:* “Oh, this girl is really pitiful, having such a father…”
He scratched his head and turned to look at Lin Qiye, "Brother Qiye, do you think this case is a little strange?"
Lin Qiye did not answer, but just looked deeply at the door of the police station. He always felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Yu Zheli's death might hide a bigger secret.
"Let's go," Lin Qiye retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Let's go to Dotonbori for dinner first, and then..." He paused, "
Wu Hen perked up immediately after hearing this. *Inner monologue:* “Hey, finally there’s something exciting to watch!”
He rubbed his hands and followed with excitement.
The three of them walked side by side on the bustling streets of Osaka. The sunlight shone on them, but it could not dispel the strange atmosphere in the air.
A black car stopped silently at the corner of the street, the window slowly lowered, revealing a gloomy face.
He looked at the three people's receding backs, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he whispered: "The game has begun..."
The three of them left the police station and basked in the warm afternoon sunshine in Osaka, but Yunari's mood was as dark as a cloud.
She hugged her father's belongings tightly, her steps heavy, as if every inch of air was pressing on her and making her breathless.
"Oh, don't think too much,"
Wu Hen nonchalantly consoled her while secretly examining Yunari's profile (inner monologue: This girl looks quite innocent, but this mourning dress is a bit of a downer...).
"Let go of things you can't figure out. Life is short, so enjoy it while you can! Are you hungry? The takoyaki in Dotonbori is incredible. Come on, I'll treat you!"
Lin Qiye held his forehead helplessly, (inner monologue: This guy, he always has a messy manner...)
However, he also knew that Wu Hen's jokes could somewhat ease Yunari's sadness.
Hearing the word "Dotonbori," Yunari's previously dim eyes brightened slightly. She raised her head and said with a hint of anticipation, "Really? I've heard that the takoyaki there is very famous!"
"Of course!" Wu Hen assured, patting his chest. (Inner monologue: System, hurry up, are there any 'free-for-all' quests? The kind with generous rewards!)
(System prompt: Host needs detected, issuing a limited-time mission: After eating a free meal in Dotonbori, successfully escape the boss's pursuit. Reward: A random SSR-level skill card. Mission failure: The host will be forced to dress up as Takoyaki for 24 hours.)
Wu Hen: "..." (Inner monologue: System, are you forcing me to become a comedian? Forget it, wealth and honor are achieved through risk!)
The three of them came to the bustling Dotonbori, where the air was filled with all kinds of tempting aromas.
Yunari's mood gradually improved. She looked at the dazzling array of delicious food with excitement shining in her eyes.
"Order whatever you want to eat, I'm not short of money today!"
Wu Hen said proudly, (Inner monologue: Of course, the premise is that I can successfully escape the bill...)
The three of them found a nice-looking takoyaki restaurant and sat down. Yunari ordered a table full of delicious food, which made Wu Hen's eyelids twitch.
(Inner monologue: Girl, are you trying to make up for the past few days? My SSR skill card...)
Just as the three of them were enjoying their meal, a man in a black suit walked straight to their table, stared at Lin Qiye expressionlessly, and said in a cold tone: "Lin Qiye, we meet again."
"Fuck, who is this guy? Judging from his posture, is he here to scam people?"
Wu Hen had takoyaki stuffed in his mouth and was mumbling incoherently, but his eyes were rolling around.
"This guy's in a suit, isn't he from some gang? Am I going to have to stage a 'Dotonbori Street Battle Royale'?"
Lin Qiye frowned slightly, put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked directly at the man in front of him with a gaze as sharp as an eagle.
"Who are you? Do you have something to talk to me about?" His voice was low and magnetic, with a subtle sense of oppression.
The corners of the man's mouth curled up strangely, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that someone wants to see you."
He paused, his gaze lingering on Yunari for a moment, then turned back to Lin Qiye.
"And the one next to you, and this... 'lucky' guy."
Yunari was startled by the sudden situation. She grabbed the corner of Lin Qiye's clothes with some anxiety. Wu Hen seemed particularly excited.
"Wow, this is such an exciting plot! Is this the legendary 'entrance of the villain'? I was just about to enjoy my meal and someone came to disrupt it. This is awesome!"
At this moment, the system prompt sounded again in Wu Hen's mind.
System prompt: "Special plot trigger detected, issuing a limited-time mission: In the following conflict, successfully seduce the man in the black suit. Mission reward: An unknown mysterious item. Mission failure: The host will permanently lose the 'seduce girls' skill."
Wu Hen: “…”
"System, are you trying to force me to come out? This mission is too weird! Flirting with a guy? I'm a straight man! This is too difficult!"
Although he was complaining madly in his heart, Wu Hen showed an excited smile on his face.
"Oh my god, I have to get this reward! For my 'pick-up' skills, I'm going all out!"
Wu Hen put down the takoyaki in his hand, looked at the man in the black suit with an ambiguous expression, and whistled frivolously, "Hey, look at me using my 'dirty talk' method!" "Hey, this little brother is so handsome, do you have a girlfriend?"
As he spoke, he deliberately cast a wink, which made Lin Qiye and Yunari stunned for a moment.
Lin Qiye's mouth twitched. "What's this guy up to? This way of teasing a man is really unparalleled..."
The man in the black suit obviously didn't expect Wu Hen to do this. A crack appeared on his originally cold expression, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He ignored Wu Hen's teasing, locked his eyes with Lin Qiye again, and said in a cold tone, "Come with us, don't force us to do anything."
As soon as he finished speaking, the diners around him suddenly stood up, and the originally noisy and bustling street suddenly became quiet.
They all took off their coats at the same time, revealing the same black uniform underneath. Each of them held a short knife that flashed with a cold light.
Wu Hen was immediately amused by the scene. "Oh, this is going to be lively! Isn't this the legendary gang fight? My time-traveling life is so exciting!"
He rubbed his hands together and said to Lin Qiye excitedly, "Brother Qiye, look at this situation. If I don't fight today, I'll be unworthy of my 'protagonist halo'!"
Lin Qiye slowly stood up, and his aura changed accordingly. His originally calm eyes became sharp and full of murderous intent, and an invisible sense of oppression instantly enveloped the entire store.
He looked coldly at the man in the black suit, a disdainful smile on his lips: "Just you? You want me to go with you?"
The man in the black suit's face darkened.
Wu Hen immediately perked up when he saw it. "Hey, it's finally my turn to perform! System, come on!"
He thought about it, and suddenly a strange rune appeared on his wrist. Then, a giant chicken covered with pink feathers fell from the sky.
The "cluck, cluck" sound echoed throughout Dotonbori. As soon as this strange giant chicken appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"What...what the hell is this?" The man in the black suit was stunned when he saw the huge pink strange chicken in front of him.
The men in black around them also stopped and showed expressions of horror on their faces. Even Lin Qiye's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Wu Hen proudly stood on the back of the giant pink chicken.
Pointing at the men in black, he said arrogantly, "Men, today I'll show you what 'mysterious power from another world' means! Master Ji, charge!"
After receiving the order, the giant pink chicken immediately flapped its wings and rushed towards the crowd in black. Its huge body knocked the tables, chairs and benches into pieces, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
At this moment, in the black car not far away, Mr. Jing narrowed his eyes and raised an elusive smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Interesting, it seems that tonight will not be boring..."
He said softly, then lowered the car window. A black figure suddenly jumped out of the car window and rushed towards the battlefield...
