The System Exploded And I Became The System

Putting away the thoughts in her mind, Maud turned her attention back to the bone chopping knife in her hand.

This is the murder weapon that directly cuts Berson into pieces. It is not surprising that it can be exchanged for two new ghost story rules and a lie detection opportunity.

Now Maud was thinking.

Why is this knife here? In this vegetable market?

If the murderer used this knife to kill people, it must be destroyed as soon as possible!

How could he so blatantly put knives into the vegetable market?

Indeed.

A bone chopping knife would not look out of place in the meat products section of the vegetable market.

If the murderer used this to cover up, it would be unlikely to attract anyone's attention.

However, if the murderer takes it seriously enough, the best way to deal with it is to melt the bone-chopping knife and destroy it, or even throw it into the river, which is safer than leaving it here.

Is the murderer someone from the market?

This question popped into Maud's mind.

In my memory, among the suspects, there was no one who worked in the vegetable market... but there were quite a few people who had frequent contact with the vegetable market.

And the only supplier of such knives in town is Old Donner!

Could this knife be brought to the vegetable market by Old Donald? !

But in the scene of Park Young-hao's death that he saw this morning, Maude had learned that Old Donald had given Corey the bone-chopping knife he made!

In previous questioning, Corey also admitted that he had taken a bone chopping knife.

So the knife in his hand is the bone-chopping knife that passed through Corey's hands?

wrong!

The only source of supply for knives like bone chopping knives is Lao Donner!

If Corey had taken away the murder weapon, the bone-chopping knife, there was no way it would have appeared in the market!

Suddenly, Maude thought of something and took a breath.

What if... there are two bone chopping knives? !

Assumption.

Old Donner is the murderer.

Then when he attacks Berson, he will definitely keep it secret!

Making a bone-chopping knife would never be seen by a woman selling breakfast that the police often come into contact with!

Killing people will just hide it blindly.

Under this thinking, from a normal perspective, most of Old Donald's doubts can be cleared away.

But if he is a murderer with advanced thinking, he can think of more.

If the hypothesis that Old Donald is the murderer still holds true.

He and Berson had a grudge in the eyes of outsiders.

Once Berson dies, no matter how well he hides himself, he will be investigated inside and out, and the risk of being exposed is extremely high!

So from the beginning, Old Donner didn't intend to hide it, he made a bone-chopping knife in a very high-profile manner!

So high-profile that everyone who sells breakfast knows it, and at the same time, the police chief also knows it!

Why did you do this?

Because Old Donner has a way to give the bone chopping knife to others!

He can make everyone think that the other person is the murderer!

Instead of creating his own alibi, etc., it would be better to make others more suspicious!

Then the chosen scapegoat must meet at least three conditions.

1. There is no alibi.

2. Unable to describe directly what he did during his absence.

3. Contact with the murder weapon!

After sorting out the case, it seems that Old Donald stunned Bertha or used money to communicate and cooperate with Bertha to attract Corey!

Then he directed and acted himself, hid his identity, and asked Corey, who was being manipulated, to take away the bone-chopping knife from the hands of an 'innocent man' who only knew how to blacksmith!

Wait until the 'murder weapon' is taken away.

Old Donald can also take out the real murder weapon prepared early in the morning from inside the house!

After killing people, clean the bone-chopping knives used to dismember the body, and then they can be stocked with the new batch of bone-chopping knives for the vegetable market!

Everyone would only think that the knife Corey took was the murder weapon, and that he who was not present at the time was the murderer!

Little did he know that the real murder weapon had been sent to the vegetable market by Old Donald.

I didn't expect that Old Donald, who was the most suspected but could find the most reason to prove that he was not the murderer, was the real murderer!

At this moment, Maude was thinking a lot and her assumptions were very bold.

However, in the way of solving crimes, assumptions are inevitable.

And it is precisely this kind of bold idea that turns out to be logically consistent in the end. This is the scariest thing!

As for why Old Don, as a blacksmith, didn't smelt the murder weapon, it was because the list of bone chopping knives in the vegetable market was ready-made!

He himself has already made these knives for the vegetable market.

If it is destroyed, it will have to be rebuilt in order to make up for the wet market.

The sound of blacksmithing cannot be concealed by a wooden house. He built an extra one for Corey in the hope that others would see it. It would be too risky to secretly build another one to supplement the melted weapon.

Besides, sending it to the vegetable market is an excellent cover-up method in itself!

Like now, after so many days, it has been so long since I used a knife to sell meat in the vegetable market.

Even though the bone chopping knife was stained with the smell of human blood, it was already overshadowed by the fishy smell of other animals.

If it weren't for the system's ability to identify evidence.

If he really threw this knife to the innocent Maud, he really wouldn't be able to recognize the knife!

Even if there are strange rules, the rules will only be revealed after you take the important items in your hands and observe them for a while.

"Old Donald, it's you!"

"The golden cicada escapes from its shell and secretly infiltrates Chencang. It's a good trick."

"It seems that the case has been solved!" At this moment, Maude let out a breath of relaxation.

Maybe tomorrow, after finding Old Donner, all this will be over!

Putting the bone chopping knife aside temporarily, Maud picked up another bone chopping knife.

Of course you can't use that murderous weapon to cut the pork you eat, Ge Ying.

Cutting a large piece of lean meat on the cutting board, Maude felt relieved.

At least, he has completed the hard condition of bringing meat home!

But there is one condition...

Recalling the phone call he heard at the police station, Maude understood that tonight was his eldest daughter's birthday.

He has to prepare a gift.

Choosing gifts is bound to be a headache.

Looked at the time.

8:20

It was already getting late.

According to normal off-duty hours, he has parked his car in front of his home.

Including some allowable delays, I still have no more than half an hour at most!

At least before 9:00 pm, he will show up at the door!

What gift to choose?

Maud came to the car with the fresh meat and closed her eyes to think about it.

Vaguely, a sentence reappeared in his ears.

"Oh? Hahaha, you still have money to buy such an expensive gift for your daughter? It seems that you have a lot of private money hidden away?"

This is what the non-existent wife said on the phone before at the police station.

"Expensive gift?" Maud turned to look at the bag of money next to her.

The vehicle starts.

After a pause, the man came to a children's toy store.

This store... didn't exist in the town before.

Another newcomer.

However, it was also due to the departure of the previous merchants in this store that this new arrival came into existence.

【Mea Toy Store】

Looking at the streets of the entire town, only these three or two businesses that have moved in from outside are still open.

After looking at the neat rules of ghost talk, Maude stepped into it.

"welcome."

At the counter in front of the door, a female receptionist said in a hurry.

Maud glanced at her, slightly surprised.

This is people.

Similar to him, ordinary people were selected to come to the world of ghost stories and experience dungeons.

Apparently, her current occupation is as a salesperson in a toy store.

After the woman said this hastily, she also saw Maud clearly.

There was a hint of surprise in his expression.

This guest is different from the first two scary creatures she received. This guy actually looks like a real person!

"Any dolls?" Maud asked.

doll.

This is the birthday gift he came here to prepare for his daughter.

In the previous ‘Sisters’ story, the doll appeared several times.

At the same time, Betty, the youngest daughter of the family, was also holding a doll.

Therefore, Maud also boldly estimated that the gift she should prepare was a doll.

"Doll? Yes. Guest, follow me." The woman felt much more relaxed.

Compared with facing the kind of ghost with three heads and six tongues, facing this kind of existence that is not much different from human beings, her mentality is naturally much better.

Follow the woman all the way to the doll area.

Maude was instantly dazzled by the various dolls.

As he glanced around, he was instantly attracted to a familiar doll.

"How much does this cost?" Maud took down a medium-sized doll and asked the salesperson.

"It's a bit expensive, 2000." The woman replied slightly uneasily.

Every time she makes a quote, that's when she worries the most.

Because when the product introduction comes to this stage, the various monsters in the ghost story world will reveal different emotions.

Most of them are angry because the price is too high and does not meet expectations.

Furthermore, she will also be angered by the guests!

As a small employee, she doesn’t have much right to survive!

It's okay to meet good-tempered customers. At most, they will have their arms and legs removed like the previous colleague who cleaned the store.

If you meet someone with a bad temper, you will become a pile of meat!

The store manager was completely indifferent to this.

Quan treats the dead as cheap sandbags used by the guests and records them in their accounts.

People are really at the bottom of this world!

But this time.

This concern of hers apparently no longer existed.

"Wrap it up for me."

When a stack of banknotes was handed to her, the woman's heart suddenly relaxed: "Good customer."

As she spoke, the woman's words were filled with excitement.

This kind of customer is the best.

Don’t find faults, don’t procrastinate, just consume.

If she encountered more, she could switch to a lower-risk position and live longer!

Give the packed doll to Maud.

The woman turned to look at the folded front in her hands.

Looking at him, he frowned slightly in confusion.

Count them one by one...

"30 pictures?!"

…

"Wow~"

The vehicle splashed with water and drove quickly towards the home room.

Maud glanced at the toy store in the rearview mirror that was gradually disappearing until it disappeared, and exhaled a filthy breath.

After all, they are a selected group of unfortunate people.

The difference is that he relied on the system to survive until now.

Others will only have a harder time.

After meeting these people, I would like to help as much as possible.

There was no entanglement between them, and he happened to have such a large amount of money, so he just randomly took out a few.

Maybe the store will disappear by tomorrow.

I don’t know how long the other party’s journey will last.

Concentrate your thoughts.

Maud glanced at the doll gift bag next to her.

He didn't choose this doll randomly.

If I remember correctly, this doll is exactly the one my daughter Betty is holding!

Storybook.

The story of ‘Sisters’.

It was about a younger sister who got a doll and felt that the doll was like her sister, so she stopped crying.

So it is very possible that the doll originally belonged to my sister!

In the past, I gave this gift to my eldest daughter on her birthday.

Price of two thousand dollars.

For a job like his, it's not a small sum, and it fits the label of a valuable gift.

Gifts and meat are all ready. I just hope nothing happens tonight.
