The System Exploded And I Became The System

"If I help you provide information about the murderer of the corpse case, can my sentence be reduced?" Corey spoke again.

This time his attitude changed.

"Tell me the information you know." Maude did not answer the other party directly.

I picked up a notebook and a pen from the side and started taking notes.

Corey was silent for a moment when he saw this.

The interrogation room was a little dark, the walls were a little mottled, and the tables and chairs furnished were drab and old, just like the dusty moments of a case.

But at this moment, the dusty case is officially revealed!

Taking a deep breath, Corey could no longer hold on: "I admit, I did that kind of thing to Bertha."

At this point, the man seemed afraid that the matter would be directly characterized, and quickly added: "But, I didn't mean it at the time! Someone induced me to go to Bertha's house, and I was used!"

"Are you trying to say that someone forced you to do that to Bertha?" Maud looked at Corey, her face speechless.

Corey's face turned green and red: "I couldn't hold it back for a moment. Although I was induced, it was me who actually attacked Bertha. At that time, my sperm was in my head, and I..."

"You don't have to show how remorseful you are. From what you said, do you want to shift part of the responsibility to the person who induced you to go to Bertha's house?"

"Yes, this matter is not entirely my fault! Originally, Bertha and I had set boundaries with each other during that time, and I was going to calm down for a while before going to see her. But on July 17, I received an email Letter." Corey didn't care how dirty he would be exposed by stating the matter. He wanted to clarify the situation at that time, at least not let him bear all the responsibility.

Maude did not interrupt and listened calmly to the other party's description.

"I don't know who gave me that letter, but it had a message written on it."

"When he said he drugged Bertha or something, I didn't think about anything else at all. All I could think about was that Bertha had met a bad guy and I needed to protect her."

"When I got there, I found that Bertha had actually passed out and she was sleeping naked on the bed!"

"So, you can't control yourself?" Maude asked with a smile.

There is absolutely no belief in what this person said.

Corey seemed to have noticed Maud's disbelief, and his face turned red: "What I said is true!"

While speaking, he fumbled around for a while and then took out a letter: "This is it, this unknown letter I received on July 17th!"

The man handed the letter over.

In response, Maude frowned and took it.

This letter, or rather this piece of paper, contains indeed a very brief sentence.

‘I know you like Bertha. I drugged her to make her unconscious and gave her to you. Remember to accept this gift. ’

The information on the contents of the envelope can be described as explicit and clear.

If there really was such a letter writer, Corey at that time must not have been as upright and worried about people's safety as he said.

Of course, it is more likely that this letter was fabricated by Corey overnight after being alert yesterday.

There is a high possibility of false evidence.

"Didn't you say that I asked Old Donald to get a bone-chopping knife?" Corey spoke again, also linking the matter to the corpse dismemberment case.

"The bone chopping knife was the one that the person who wrote to me asked me to get for him!"

"The person who used Bertha as a bargaining chip to plot against me, and the person who got the bone chopping knife through me, is the real culprit in the corpse dismemberment case!"

Cory couldn't care less at the moment.

The reason why he was not active in the dismemberment case before was because this case involved what he had done to Bertha, and he just wanted to get it over with as soon as possible.

He was even willing to help cover up the murderer.

After all, what he did to Bertha cannot be exposed under any circumstances.

Now that the scandal has been fully exposed, there is no need for him to hide it at all.

If the murderer of the corpse dismemberment case could be found out, perhaps his charges could be mitigated.

When Maude heard this, she looked at the other party's expression that didn't look like she was lying, and her emotions calmed down slightly.

Of course he understood that compared to Bertha's case, the corpse case was the main plot.

Is the other party using Corey's hands to achieve his own goals?

So it seems that Bertha and Corey are both his pawns?

This murderer is also good at controlling everything behind the scenes.

Of course, it is possible that everything is a lie made up by Corey himself, and he himself is the murderer!

"So, you've seen the murderer?" Maud stared into Corey's eyes.

"No." Corey was a little frustrated: "Every time he conveys information to me, it is in the form of letters. I have never met the other person at all."

"Oh?" Maude narrowed her eyes slightly: "Has the other party contacted you recently?"

"Yes!" Corey nodded seriously.

"when?"

"Just yesterday." Corey, who was sitting in the interrogation position, answered the question quickly.

"Yesterday?" Hearing this, Maud concentrated: "It seems that when Bertha was stunned yesterday, he asked you to come again?"

"Bessa was knocked unconscious again yesterday?" After hearing the news, Corey had a confused expression on his face: "Captain, I didn't do anything yesterday!"

"From the beginning to the end, there was only one day, July 17, and that was the only time I did that kind of thing to Bertha!"

"Since then, I haven't dared to see Bertha every day and have always avoided her."

"I didn't go to her at all yesterday, let alone attack her again!"

Mentioning that Bertha was knocked unconscious yesterday, Corey's state was difficult to calm down, and he had a strong attitude of distancing himself from the relationship.

This is not at all as unfounded as the crime that was just caught on July 17th.

Maud looked at the other party's performance calmly and said nothing: "Did you say that the mysterious person contacted you again yesterday? Or was it through a letter?"

"Yes, I still believe it."

Speaking of which, Corey started rummaging around on his body again.

Not long after, he found another letter from nowhere.

Maud took it.

The sight of these handwritings made him raise his eyebrows.

The font was slanted, as if written by a child, and it was completely different from the font style of the previous letter.

Maybe this is a deliberate disguise of the real murderer in Corey's mouth?

After all, there are cases in the world where the murderer was found through handwriting.

Ignoring the font, Maud looked at the content inside the letter.

'Before 8:00 tomorrow night, put your police gun in the tree hole under the largest mangrove tree in the mangrove forest. Don't try to ignore my order. I will record the scene of you sleeping with that woman. Yes, it's not easy to get a video recorder just for the two of you. ’

Regardless of the font, the content and style of the letter are the same.

"Mangrove, gun?" Looking at the letter written to him by the mysterious person yesterday according to Corey's statement, Maude frowned.

For the mangroves, an area that appeared frequently in various information, Maud felt a silent rejection in her heart.

Of the five strange tale rules in Group C today, at least two even depict information about mangroves.

It seemed that even the strange rules were telling him that the mangroves definitely contained some important information!

Putting the letter in her hand on the table, Maud leaned back and took a deep breath.

"When you and Bertha were in contact before, did anyone know that you were relatively close?"

Maud already had some faith in the mysterious person mentioned by Corey, and now she even had the idea of ​​trying to find out the other person.

The guy who dared to be so sure that Corey would attack Bertha and thus seize Corey must have a clear understanding of the relationship between Corey and Bertha!

And Maude will believe in the existence of the mysterious man because the last information provided by Corey happens to be connected with the third rule of today's ghost story rule C!

[3. The wild animals in the mangroves are very active every night, but please note that when you see a man wearing a hood and a coat, please run away immediately! 】

There is a man wearing a hood and a coat in the mangrove forest.

When you see him, you must run away immediately.

He remembered that there was also a description about the figure in the mangrove forest in Rule B of yesterday's ghost story.

[9. Drive around the mangroves at night. If you see a figure wearing a hood and a coat, please shoot him immediately! 】

Yesterday I said to shoot him to death, but today I said to run away immediately!

The only thing that can transform an opponent from prey to hunter overnight is the blessing of one item, and that is a gun!

Although guns are legal here, in a fringe town like theirs, the guns available to ordinary people are old-fashioned shotguns.

It's far less easy to use than a police gun.

In addition, if Corey's gun was actually used to kill someone, the murderer would not need to take any risks or worry about leaving any traces.

Therefore, inside the letter.

The fact that Corey was asked to place his gun in the mangroves is most likely true!

Because the man with the hood and the coat wants to use it!

"No." Corey shook his head firmly: "When I first came into contact with Bertha, I didn't publicize it to the outside world."

"In addition, Bertha's home is on the edge of the town, so no one has ever discovered my relationship with her."

Speaking of this, Corey was silent for a long time: "However, there is one person who always knows that I like Bertha."

"Who?" Maud asked.

"That person...is you, captain."
