The System Exploded And I Became The System

"Chief Maude, I thought you wouldn't come today either."

Over at the breakfast shop, the proprietress Evangeline handed two hot dogs to Maud in a familiar manner.

"I've been a little busy lately." Maud picked up a hot dog and took a bite, looking at the woman selling breakfast with some scrutiny: "Ms. Evangelin, did you really see Old Donner making a bone chopping knife before? "

"Of course!" The woman came to this place after hearing the topic, and her voice couldn't help but raise: "I saw it with my own eyes!"

"Old Donald must be the murderer, Sheriff, you must not let him go!"

Perhaps it was because Old Donald had scolded this woman before, so in this matter, the woman also insisted that Old Donald was the murderer.

Maud watched the woman's emotions unfold quietly.

No abnormalities were detected.

"Where were you and what did you do on the night of July 15th?" Suddenly, Maud asked Evangeline.

According to the extra strange rules information that appeared last night.

He has already met the murderer, so he needs to eliminate them one by one.

The possibility that Evangeline is the murderer is extremely small, but not impossible.

"The night of July 15th?" Evangeline did not expect that she would be asked this question, and was a little surprised for a moment: "Chief Maude, don't you remember?"

"I was in the store that night. Didn't you come to my store and order a sandwich?"

"I'll make it for you now."

Regarding this sensitive time issue in the middle of last month, Evangeline immediately thought of the Berson case, and her memory of that day was also very clear.

Hearing this, Maude's eyes flashed slightly.

Came here by yourself that night and ordered a sandwich?

In this case, it is definitely impossible for Evangeline to lie. After all, as the police chief, she is the party involved.

No wonder this woman wasn't on the list of suspects.

But why did I come here to eat a sandwich that night?

I obviously hate eating sandwiches!

"Chief Maude, you don't think I killed Berson, do you?" Evangeline seemed to have realized the reason why Maude asked her this question, and her expression showed a hint of displeasure.

"Sorry." Maude ended the topic and returned to the police car.

Yesterday he found a train ticket in the bag full of money.

The departure time above is at 23:30 on the evening of July 15, and the ticket purchaser is Berson.

From this, we can roughly judge that Berson was killed while walking through the mangroves to the waiting point.

And that night, I happened to break away from the boring commute to and from get off work, and went to eat a sandwich that I disliked.

There seemed to be more doubts about him.

But there is one key point that can erase all doubts about himself!

[3. The house you live in is not your home. Before 12 o'clock in the evening, take your only relative back to your real home. If it is too late, the owner of this house should come back. 】

This is one of the strange tale rules updated today.

If this rule is correct.

Does that mean that everything in the basement was not created by oneself?

All of that was done by the original owner of the house, that is, the guy who was most likely the murderer!

It was precisely because of the emergence of this point that Mod was a little lucky that he did not use a lie detector opportunity on Article 1 of Group A of the Ghost Story Rules last night.

I just don’t know who the original owner of the house will be.

While thinking in her heart, Maude looked at the time.

It’s still the old rules.

Investigate cases in the morning, and deal with crises in the ghost story rules in the afternoon.

On the first day, he dealt with sandwiches in the afternoon, and spent most of the second day looking for meat. This afternoon, he took his daughter Betty to find his real home.

If the murderer can be identified and killed in the morning, there is no need to worry about what happens next.

Maude let out a breath, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye while sitting in the car.

story book.

I almost forgot about this.

According to yesterday’s ghost story rule prompt, the storybook will update a story every day about what happened in the small town!

Maude had read the entire storybook before, but except for the story "Sisters", there wasn't much useful information in it.

Not sure what valuable information the updated story will have.

Turn to the last few pages of the storybook.

After seeing the new stories emerge, Maud learns that the strange tale rule about the storybook updating the story was not a lie.

This new story is called ‘Twin Brothers’.

Once upon a time there was a small town, and there were two boys in the town.

They are twins who have a good relationship, but their interests are different.

My elder brother likes haircuts, and my younger brother likes hunting and often goes to the mangroves.

When he grew up, my brother not only liked haircuts, but also liked visiting the red light district.

As for his younger brother, he has become a senior hunter, and hunting has become his secondary job. He will leave his wife at home alone for a long time, and he will stay guarding the prey until late at night.

The story is brief.

Maud frowned slightly.

Twin brothers?

This should be about the only pair of twins in the town, namely Berson's two barber apprentices.

The information between them has no effect on me.

After all, the murderer is someone he has met.

And so far, he has never seen the two twins.

…

Driving the police car, Maude made a U-turn and came to the police station.

There were a lot of things going on today, and he needed a helper.

Inside the detention center.

Corey was so hungry that he ate the hot dog that Maud handed him.

After he finished eating, he looked at Mod with some uncertainty: "Captain, you mean, I can go out?"

"You also believe that I was framed, right?! Am I not entirely responsible for this?!"

Corey sounded excited, eager to hear what he wanted to hear.

"Whether you were framed for your involvement in the corpse case remains to be verified."

"The crime of rape has been stabilized."

"I'm letting you out now because we are short of manpower."

"I was really framed. What I told yesterday was all the truth! How can I take full responsibility?!" Corey said anxiously.

Seeing the other party's expression, Maud showed no emotion.

Of course he knew that Corey couldn't be the murderer. This guy was most likely a chess piece used by the murderer. No matter which direction he looked at it, it was still a chess piece.

This is why Moder asked the other party to come out as a helper.

"If you really want to prove yourself, we'll go find Bertha first and ask her if she was really knocked out that day, and if someone really used her to frame you."

"Ah? Shall we ask her face to face?" Corey stuttered instantly.

…

Edge of town.

Bertha's house still stood next to the dirt road.

Maude was sitting in the driver's seat, with a restless Corey in the passenger seat.

"Captain, should we stop considering this method? I will go there with you. Bertha will definitely not be able to cooperate."

Corey looked embarrassed and cowed.

Of course he wouldn't dare to see the other person again if he did something like that.

This is also the reason why Corey never dared to take the initiative to see Betty after that day.

"Who said I want you to come with me?" Maud turned to look at Corey.

"Don't you need me to go with you?!" Corey was overjoyed when he heard this.

It was like a stone was dropped from my shoulders.

Just Maud's next words made him hit rock bottom again.

"It is up to you to investigate and collect evidence, and to inquire about the outcome of the matter. I will not come forward."

"What?!" Corey even flinched when he originally thought about Maud going with him.

Now Maud actually said that he wanted to go to see Bertha alone and conduct an investigation into the situation that day. How could he continue?

"It's okay if you don't go, then you'll be considered guilty of your crime."

"What mysterious person, what kind of plot you have, these baseless things are all lies. I will put you in jail and send you to the court in accordance with the law."

"No, no, this won't work!" Corey shook his head quickly.

As he spoke, he also began to consider his plan to see Bertha.

After all, if he was really accused of this kind of crime, Corey couldn't see any hope for the rest of his life.

Although in essence he did commit a crime.

But in his mind, he was framed, which is essentially what happened.

He needs to give himself some chances to reduce his sentence.

The sky gradually became a little darker.

Maude sat in the car, looking at Corey who was walking towards Bertha's house, and then turned to look at the other side of Bertha's house.

That's the back door of the house.

After Cory arrived at Bertha's house, Maud also got out of the car and walked toward the back door of Bertha's house.

He certainly didn't expect Corey to be able to ask for any useful information.

Calling Corey over was mainly to attract Bertha's attention.

And he took the opportunity to sneak into the other party's house and look for really useful evidence!

In Maud's eyes, Bertha is not a simple innocent!
