The System Exploded And I Became The System

In both cases, according to normal logic, Mod should prefer the first one.

Bertha was the victim.

Regardless of whether the perpetrator was Corey or someone else, she was still the victim.

But because of Bertha's sudden change in attitude just now, Maud felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Suppose the second possibility is true.

That meant Bertha knew she'd been knocked unconscious before, and that Corey had done that to her!

But why could she resist calling the police and not reveal the matter until now?

Is it for proof of immigration?

She could have made this request as soon as she was insulted.

Bertha lied, which is an unfounded guess.

Maude rubbed her head, feeling a little swollen for a moment.

The clear progress of the case was placed in front of him, but he did not dare to follow the clear clues.

Instead, he began to ponder these inexplicable clues suspiciously.

It's also strange that the horrific consequences of his wrong decision yesterday caused him to have some psychological shadows.

It would be nice if we could directly tell whether what Bertha and Corey said was true or false.

While thinking like this, Maude frowned and touched her chin.

Perhaps, his direction was wrong from the very beginning!

In the case of the Burson dismemberment case, he should not have contact with people and obtain information from conversations with them.

What people say, mixed with truth and falsehood, will only drag themselves further and further away!

The direction that I should explore is dead people and dead things!

It has been two days and three nights since he came to this world, but he has never explored the cause of Berson's death, nor has he seen Berson's body.

The information currently known is gathered from documentation and conversations with others.

It’s not that these are unimportant, it’s just that the cause of Berson’s death and his specific circumstances are more like foundation, like setting.

If you talk to others and collect information without even fully understanding these things, you will have no basis for judging whether what others are telling is the truth or a lie.

For example.

Berson doesn't like smoking, he doesn't know it.

When talking to others to collect information, they say that they like to smoke. Do you have a way to judge whether this statement is true or false?

Of course, this assumption is superficial.

But that's probably the truth.

Because Maude didn't know Berson well enough, everyone looked a bit like a murderer.

Hard evidence, facts, and incomplete evidence can be regarded as a incomplete work of art.

Collecting information from others to make the case logical and scalable is a process of gradually improving an incomplete work of art.

The first thing I have to do is to learn more about the deceased Berson!

"Miss Bertha, please be more open-minded during this time. I will get you a migration certificate later." Maude announced the end of the conversation.

"Yeah." Bertha returned to her sad and desperate expression.

Under normal circumstances, this change of mood would certainly not be noticeable.

But under Maude's deliberate observation, she felt that the expressions of these two emotions were really separated!

After watching Bertha leave the police station, Maud glanced at the detained Corey and returned to his office.

Now that he knew what information to collect, he took clear action.

In the office, information and cases about Berson were collected one by one.

In the process, Maude once again dug out the family photo of herself and her family that she had put in the drawer yesterday.

The photo is still the same.

The couple took a photo in front of the courtyard of their house holding their daughter Betty.

After looking at it intently for a while, combined with the answer that her daughter was family, Maude finally understood.

There was indeed a family of three in the photo, but he overlooked one thing.

That’s the person who took the photo!

People always subconsciously focus on what they see and ignore the invisible key.

I am indeed a family of four.

The person taking pictures for everyone... must be his little daughter, the Betty who he has seen in the past two days, holding the doll!

Maud would make such a bold guess.

It's because of the storybook I got last night.

According to inference, the story in the storybook is about their town.

He read a 'sisters' story last night, and the content in it completely matched his daughter's experience!

The girl sitting on her parents' lap in the photo is the dead eldest daughter!

The reason why I keep this photo is because I was remembering my eldest daughter and my wife in the photo!

If he had thought of the existence of the person who took the photo, he could at least keep the prophecy card given to him by the system last night.

But now that I can survive, I should be lucky.

Putting the photo back in her pocket, Maude looked at the information about Berson.

Berson: Male

Age: 37 years old

Occupation: Small town barber

Dependents: none

This was the message Maud saw on her first night after coming to this world.

Pick up the materials below.

【Fight case】

Personnel: Burson and Donner Sr.

Description of the case: In order to compete for a dog that strayed into a small town, two people got into a fight. Berson injured his arm and did not meet the disability level.

Old Donald's cornea was damaged and was assessed as a grade nine minor injury.

The case was closed: During Sheriff Maude's mediation, Berson compensated Old Donald US$1,000 for medical expenses, and the stray dog ​​was temporarily fostered at Berson's house.

The case is simple.

After reading it, Maud felt a little surprised.

These two got into a fight over a stray dog?

He had received similar information before, saying that the two were not getting along because of a dog.

But I didn't expect that it would be because of a stray dog.

Maude didn't think that these two men, who were in their thirties or forties and lived in a small town, would have the emotion to fight for a stray dog.

More likely, maybe the conflict between the two has been brewing for a long time, and the dog was just a trigger?

This isn't right either.

at the end of this case.

Berson paid a thousand dollars in compensation for medical expenses!

This is not a small amount!

It stands to reason that Old Donner is definitely very happy with this compensation.

However, various materials collected before clearly indicate that Old Donald was dissatisfied with himself.

When I met him while buying breakfast yesterday morning, his attitude said it all!

Regarding the processing of that button, even $1,000 was not enough to satisfy him.

Relatively speaking, could it be that the dog was what he wanted? !

But can a stray dog ​​be worth $1,000?

Maude secretly wrote down this information and picked up the integrated cases below.

There wasn't much else in the police station, just a lot of information about Berson.

Fortunately, this dungeon has the identity of Sheriff. Otherwise, if it were just a civilian, it would be like having a black eye and not knowing anything.

[Application form for immigration certificate]

While rummaging, Maude took out this information.

This application was applied for by Berson.

Look at the time above, July 13th.

That was less than a week before his accident!

[Chief Maude, this is an application for immigration certificate. 】

[Since I was born in a small town, I have been to big cities less than ten times in total. Every time I see them, I feel like they are two different worlds from our small town. It is so big and beautiful. I want to go there. Go and settle there and see the new environment. 】

[Now my two apprentices can now take charge of their own business in barbering. The town will not be short of barbers. Sheriff Maude and other people in the town don't have to worry about haircuts. 】

[I know that if I just want to leave without a legitimate reason, I need to pay a high application fee for an immigration certificate. I have accumulated a lot of money over the years, and I think it’s time to use this money to exchange for an immigration certificate. 】

There is not a lot of information on the application, but it is comprehensive.

From a purely informational point of view, there is nothing wrong with it.

Average.

But this is the application time...

After he made the decision to immigrate, he was brutally quartered. Could this be a factor in his death?

No one would harm him simply by migrating.

But this immigration certificate involves a high application fee!

Maud knew that money was often the source of some tragedies.

If Berson had indeed accumulated a certain amount of wealth in half his life, then after his death, as a person with no relatives, the final beneficiaries would be his two apprentices.

I rummaged through the information nearby.

Maud found out how much money was needed to apply for a certificate of emigration.

Twenty thousand dollars!

This is indeed a fortune that can make people take risks.

No wonder Berson's two apprentices are suspects. There are reasons for these.

Continue to browse the information below.

These are some clues that the original self investigated.

It was after the case of dismemberment appeared and it was proved that the deceased was Bertson, the original self investigated and interviewed some suspects.

There are only two suspects in the investigation, and the others may not have had their turn yet.

There are currently two statements, one is the statement of Mary, the only female suspect, and the statement of Old Donald, the biggest suspect.

According to Old Donner's description, he had been making farm tools and ironware at his normal schedule in July.

Until July 20, he took the iron tools he made and went to a big town outside to sell his things.

The last time I saw Berson was on July 13.

That was the day that Burson submitted his application for a certificate of immigration.

According to Old Donner's description: "I had a big fight with him at that time. The injury on that guy's hand healed so quickly, but he only gave me 1,000 compensation for my injuries due to his injured eye!"

“My ability at work has almost plummeted!”

"If you ask me, Bertson died well! I am so happy that he is dead!"

"Of course, you should also understand that I just had a quarrel with him at that time, and then I went to work at home."

"How about Chief Maude ask Officer Corey what he thinks?"

What is revealed in this piece of information is not the situation between Berson and Old Donald.

What is shown is the hookup between Corey and Old Donald.

Presumably, Old Donald also knew that the bone-chopping knife might be the murder weapon, and it was taken away by Corey.

But he didn't tell himself as the police chief.

From this point of view, Old Donald is also a person who is unlikely to cooperate with the investigation.

After withdrawing her emotions, Maude turned to the next article of investigation.

This is the result of the investigation of Marla, the prostitute in the town.
