I’m Really Not Targeting the Mages

After decisively accepting the investigation.

Two more options popped up in front of Roger's eyes.

...

"In the face of the 'death of the apprentice' full of doubts, where do you plan to start the investigation? Please choose——

...

Option 1: Examine the wound to determine the cause of death.

...

Option two: grope around the body for items.

...

Option 3: Send it to the morgue first! "

...

"It's not easy for me to touch corpses in public..."

Roger secretly complained.

After finalizing option three.

He manipulated the character and another colleague to lift the stretcher.

The two carried the apprentice's body to the dark place of the hospital.

...

The morgue at the mission hospital was a rather crude place.

There are no rules and regulations here.

The only rule that stands out is:

All bodies can be kept in the mortuary for a maximum of 3 days.

More than 3 days unclaimed.

It will be handled uniformly by the church hospital.

This link is full of loopholes and flaws.

As a result, many gray industries have been born.

When Roger was working the night shift.

I once accidentally ran into the scene where the mortuary administrator traded with a few men in gray.

The object of the transaction was two corpses that remained unclaimed for more than 3 days.

And in their transaction process.

Those men in gray covered their faces the whole time, their eyes full of vigilance.

If Roger hadn't been very familiar with the hospital and had temporarily found a good spying position, he might not have been able to hide it from them.

despite this.

Roger did not gain much useful information from this transaction.

He only knew that the man in gray who traded with the old man with the dark eyes of the administrator called himself a "mountain man".

I don't know if this is the unified name for those who buy corpses.

Or a certain kind of slang.

...

Between thoughts.

The two have arrived at the morgue.

Because it is summer.

A lot of people just happened to die recently.

The narrow morgue was filled to the brim.

The air was filled with the smell of corruption.

"Just let it go!"

"I have another job!"

The colleague quickly slipped away.

Roger was overjoyed when he saw this.

He was figuring out how to get rid of this guy.

Who knew that the other party would slip away first!

The morgue is an out-of-the-way place in a hospital.

During the day, except for the nurses who carried the corpses, basically no one came.

As for the old man.

He is usually nocturnal.

Said it was an administrator.

At this moment, the door of the morgue was wide open, but there was no sign of him.

But Roger didn't relax either.

He placed the stretcher in the corner of the morgue.

After making sure no one is around.

That's when I started my own investigation.

Since he didn't have skills such as "autopsy", the displayed options were the same as before, either look at the cause of death or touch the corpse.

Considering that the apprentice's body has been transported all the way, it is unknown how many people have touched it.

Roger decided to start from the wound!

...

"You've wasted some energy and time"

...

"The investigation was successful! You have obtained the cause of death of 'The Apprentice'"

...

"Cause of death: After preliminary wound analysis, you realize that the apprentice's death was not caused by the apparent bleeding.

You find 13 knife marks on his body.

But 12 of them were not fatal.

Only one of them pierced the vital point of the heart.

That was most likely the murderer's first stab.

The subsequent 12 knives may be the opponent trying to deceive others.

Anyway.

The murderer is a master with a knife.”

...

"New lead investigation progress +30%"

...

After the last message flashed.

Roger noticed a round ball in the upper left corner of his field of vision.

Some blue liquid appeared in the sphere.

Occupies about 1/3 of the volume of the sphere.

system hint.

This thing is the "clue ball".

Any investigation of clues, supplementary information and other behaviors can lead to an increase in the charging progress of the clue ball.

It reflects the progress of the investigation.

Once the progress comes to 100%.

He will be able to harvest clues related opportunities or opportunities!

"Only 30%..."

Roger was a little disappointed.

He tried to return to the horizon of choice and choose "explore" again, but at this moment, footsteps came from outside, and Roger stood up quickly!

"After the "Zexiang Xingxiu" passed, the actions of these heretics became more and more rampant. "

"I only dealt with a series of cases committed by believers of the "Evil Cup" last month. I didn't expect that someone would dare to commit murder in broad daylight today! "

"God of Rain, why didn't He kill these cultists directly?"

"This should be easy for him, right?"

"It is so difficult for us mortals!"

"So I need some comfort!"

It was a man's voice.

There was exhaustion and complaint in his tone.

It's the last sentence.

Suddenly it became a little ambiguous.

"Please focus on your work, Mr. Scott."

It was a female voice with a cold tone.

"This is not your police station office, nor my dean's office, this is the morgue..."

"Damn it!"

"Does it have to be here?"

"I remember there is an administrator here!"

There was a hint of embarrassment and panic in her voice.

"No problem."

Scott's tone was very urgent:

"At least let me relax before looking at the dead."

"Dear Dean Jenny... Ah!"

"Hey, Jenny, don't be so heartless, we're husband and wife, aren't we?"

"And I haven't experienced the fun of being in the morgue... umm!"

The footsteps of the couple were getting closer.

Roger's scalp went numb!

A selection bar quickly appeared in front of his eyes!

...

"Due to staying in the morgue for too long, you overheard the conversation between Inspector Scott and Dean Jenny, which is not out of the ordinary for a legal couple.

But considering the restraint of human nature that the Church of the Rain God has always shown.

Perhaps the couple didn't want to be overheard by a carer about their fling.

please choose--

...

Your high-dimensional perspective has worked!

...

Option 1: Rush out of the morgue and run away without looking back.

(Selection result: 70% probability of being fired)

...

Option Two: Walk out of the morgue normally and greet them with a surprised look.

(Selection result: 30% probability of being fired)

...

Option Three: Install a dead body.

(Hidden information: Detective Scott has a high ability to distinguish, if you like the feeling of excitement, then you can give it a try)

...

Option Four: Hide in an unassuming cubicle deep in the morgue.

(Hidden information: that is the room of the administrator Vergil, during the day he sleeps so hard that he hardly wakes up)"

...

Between lightning and flint.

Roger had no choice but to dodge into the room directly.

Just three seconds after he pushed the cubicle door shut.

The sound of Jenny's high heels resounded in the morgue.

This couple seems to be really planning to mess around in the morgue...

Roger touched the cold sweat on his forehead.

Looking at the layout in the cubicle.

Except for a bunk bed and necessary furniture.

There is nothing here.

Administrator Virgil was indeed sleeping soundly on the bed as mentioned in the hidden message.

At the other end of the compartment was a small door.

The place where the small door leads should be the depths of the mission hospital.

That area Roger hadn't set foot in yet.

Although there is no choice at the moment.

But Roger was faced with the choice of going or staying.

If you go.

Nature is the safest.

But considering that this small door was not mentioned in the hidden information.

There may be tricks behind this.

Roger pondered.

Or there is a hole behind the small door.

Or stay in the cubicle Youxi.

Considering that the "high-dimensional perspective" has made a lot of contributions since his arrival.

Roger decided to linger a little longer.

Even if you endure the foul language of the couple.

But almost a few seconds later.

A woman's reprimand came from the morgue:

"You wrinkled my new clothes!"

"Go away!"

"Go to business!"

Scott snorted.

The two sides entangled for a while.

half an hour.

Just listen to the male voice resentfully said:

"The technique is precise, and the knife is fatal. He is a person taught by the sword."

"strangeness……"

"How could a barber apprentice who is not in the spirit be targeted by the knife sect?"

The woman murmured:

"Knife teaching?"

""Blade" or "Secret Society in the Forest"? "

"Or "Ghost of the Day", "League of Conquerors", "Plough and Fire"? "

She said five rare nouns in one breath.

Roger noticed.

Jenny said every word.

The investigation progress displayed on the "Clue Ball" will increase by about 6%.

on the data bar.

...

"You gained knowledge: Necromantic sect (knife)"

...

"Clue: You have learned about the five hidden sects of the Sword Sect. The enemy who killed your previous life may be one of them."

...

"Hard to say……"

"The Dao Sect has the largest number of people, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons. In addition to the five major sects, there are many small sects. It is difficult for us to identify the murderer from the killing method."

Scott sounded scowl:

"It looks like another unsolved case!"

Jenny calmly analyzed:

"Perhaps we can start with the identity of the deceased."

"The members of the Knife Sect are not the lunatics of the Furnace Sect. They seldom kill people randomly. I suspect that the origin of this barber apprentice is not simple."

"Also, his teacher is the famous barber Old Hawke. I heard that Old Hawke intends to marry his daughter to him..."

Scott smiled:

"You mean it was a love affair?"

"Someone bought someone from the Sword Sect to do it?"

"On the territory of the Rain God?"

His three rhetorical questions in a row drew Jenny's silence.

There was a long silence in the morgue.

Scott seemed to realize something too.

So he changed the subject:

"Anyway, I'll take care of this case."

"To kill people during the day is to challenge the authority of the police station."

"Even if you are a member of the knife sect, I can still catch it!"

"Jenny..."

"Don't be too nervous. Although people died in your hospital, it has nothing to do with you."

Jenny said angrily:

"Don't forget."

"Besides the dean, I have other duties in the church."

Speaking of which.

Both were silent for a while.

then.

The two chatted for a while in the morgue.

It took a while before leaving.

Until the sound of their footsteps completely disappeared.

Roger let out a long sigh of relief.

He hurried out of the cubicle.

After leaving the morgue and returning to work.

He was grabbed by his boss, a guy named Gorman, and gave him a good beating.

In order to deal with the furious Gorman.

Roger had to put all his energy into his work.

Until the sky is full of stars.

He returned to his den exhausted physically and mentally.

"It's really hard for ordinary people to do things."

Look at the two "energy" on the character card that are all gray.

Roger had a lot of understanding in his heart.

...

After a quick rough dinner.

Roger regained some energy.

To view the clue ball.

After eavesdropping.

The survey progress has reached 80%.

There is another option next to it -

...

"Information Supplement"

...

Roger thought about it.

Just clicked on that option.

In a brand new interface.

He saw two floating cursors and a dotted sphere.

Remarks are displayed.

Drag the cursor into the sphere to complete the addition to the investigation progress.

Those two cursors are:

...

"Secret: Two-faced Man (Investigation Progress +30%)"

...

"Secret: Cultists (Investigation Progress +30%)"

...

"It's a shame to investigate yourself!"

See here.

How can Roger not understand the truth?

Because it is the sake of the previous life.

He naturally carries two secret messages about the "Barber's Apprentice".

Add any one.

That's it for the first survey!

What he needs to think about now is which one to choose!

"Secret information is a consumable and cannot be used up all at once."

"The enemy was recruited by the double-faced man, let it be!"

With this in mind.

Roger did it quickly!

But see after the cursor is pulled closer to the sphere.

The blue light in the latter body skyrocketed.

The blue liquid quickly filled the entire sphere, and even came out full!

Click!

A golden light flashed.

...

"Investigation: You have obtained new clues of 'Red-haired Witches', 'Day Ghost' and 'Azure Leaf'."

...

"The initial investigation was successful, and you have received a reward: the chance of the psychic"

...

"The Chance of the Psychic: Night of the Full Moon, Docklands, Merkeld Abandoned Distillery"

...

"Findings: By some cryptic technique.

You eventually learned that the deceased had allegiance to three secret organizations: the "Golden Witches", "Day Ghost" and "Azure Leaf" at the same time.

Among them, the "Ghost of the Day" is the hidden sect of the Sword Sect.

In line with Inspector Scott's judgment on the murderer.

...

If you want to continue the investigation.

You can try your luck at the 'Filler Bar' or the 'White Shark Boat' on the docks"

...

"Warning: Official Sword Sect members have at least a two-star combat power, please proceed with caution"

...

"In other words, is the combat effectiveness of the enemy at least equal to the current me?"

Roger felt a little tricky.

As he pondered how to get more information from the docklands.

Lines of text once again appeared on the data bar.

...

"Investigation: Your investigation progress has exceeded 100%, you have unlocked a hidden opportunity (relic of the barber apprentice)"

...

"Relics of the Barber's Apprentice: Wafang District, Hughes Bakery, Sewers, Secret Doors and Secret Chambers"

...

"You have unlocked a new map: Wafang District"

...

See here.

While Roger was overjoyed, he suddenly thought of another thing——

"If I find a place to bury my remains before I die in this life."

"So when the third comes, is there a chance to inherit these things?"

The more he thought about it, the more it seemed possible.

The explorability of Legacy of Time far exceeded Roger's expectations.

If it is said that Roger was just holding the mentality of getting a ticket and leaving at the beginning.

So now he has put his attitude incomparably correct.

He felt that he was gradually entering the state!

Thinking also becomes clearer!

...

"There is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in the dock area, and I'm afraid there are even more powerful characters."

"My current combat power is not suitable for further investigation."

"It's better to get the relics of the previous life first, and find a way to get in touch with the 'psychic' system..."

After determining the policy.

Roger pressed "Skip Night".

The next two days.

He goes to work as usual.

Until the evening of the third day.

He slipped through the back door of the hospital early while his boss was away.

30 minutes later.

Roger came to Wafang District.

In a deserted alley behind Hughes Cake Shop.

He found a narrow sewer entrance.

After some exploration.

He found the secret door left by the barber's apprentice!

...

The secret door was even more crowded.

Roger couldn't even stand upright.

After a hard crawl.

Roger reaches the end of the Chamber of Secrets.

in the dark.

He touched a wooden box.

After opening the box.

From it he fished out two books and some hard things.

Stuff these things into the pockets of your underwear.

Roger hastily left the sewer.

Then took advantage of the night to return home.

...

"Record: You have obtained the "Notes of a Barber Apprentice""

...

"You have obtained "The Call of the Earth" (an introductory book on Xijiao)"

...

"You got a small bag of gems"

...

"Your wealth has increased!"

...

"Wealth: ★★☆☆☆" (You have a windfall, this wealth can support you to squander for six months, or save more time, provided you can cash it in)

...

"really."

"The fastest way to increase wealth is always to inherit..."

Roger groaned.

Xinshou opened "The Notebook of a Barber Apprentice".

...
