The progress of history and the outbreak of a certain event are always multifaceted.
Humans have their own thinking abilities; they will bide their time and lie dormant.
Hence, there were countless coincidental collisions.
When everyone is working hard for something, there are actually people working hard in a place that people overlook.
Even... it unfolded much earlier than all plans.
Also more violent.
…
…
Well world, small town. Unknown timeline.
"I wish you a pleasant journey."
With a gunshot and a vague blessing, a private detective fell down.
Anyone shot in the head will surely die.
At least in this place called the "Source World", almost no one is special.
There is no distortion here, not on the surface.
So when the detective heard the gunshot...
Disappointment showed in his eyes.
What was disappointing was that he had been tracking this criminal for a long time, a really long time. He had thought that he and the other party would have an interesting chase and conversation.
Lonely people may even admire their opponents.
But during this chase, the detective suddenly realized that the other party was just a criminal.
The moment a person dies, he or she will see his or her past.
He is very young, so young that all the wonderful things seem to have happened only in recent years.
After leaving the small town a few years ago, he opened a law firm to make a living.
During this process, he took over many cases.
He also used some methods that were almost against the rules to gradually make himself famous.
This eccentric, lonely and arrogant detective is not very popular with many people.
If there weren't so many unsolved cases, the police in this world would be unwilling to cooperate with him.
But there is no way, the other party can indeed bring results.
Some people have tried to make friends with this detective, but after just a few words, they were driven away by his arrogant personality.
Over time, we have formed a habitual cooperation model -
Detectives are their tools for solving cases.
For detectives, all they need is money.
The vast majority of cases are easily resolved, but some are difficult to handle.
These cases also have one common feature - the murderer will leave a playing card with the ten of spades after killing someone.
In the previous confrontation, the underage detective was no match for the criminal.
I have been teased many times.
But as new cases gradually emerged and his thinking became more systematic and mature, he gradually began to catch up with "Ten of Spades".
Several times, he almost ran into the Ten of Spades.
He even successfully predicted the crimes of the Ten of Spades several times.
At this stage, the detective has shown incredible growth.
He was able to solve ordinary cases more quickly.
And this criminal who always left playing cards behind has never been caught.
He always leaves various puzzles.
Some puzzles seem very familiar to the detective, so familiar that they remind him of someone he hates.
In order to get away from that person, he ran away from home and went to the world outside the small town.
He even wondered if the criminal who was teasing him was the same person who had tortured him in the past.
Or is it that he and this criminal are actually accomplices
When the detective was a child, he was constantly tortured for answering various questions incorrectly. Based on this, he hated making mistakes.
Yes, he doesn’t hate various puzzles, but he hates himself who can’t solve the puzzles.
A normal person would probably hate puzzles, but he knew very well that hating puzzles was meaningless, as it would only lower his puzzle-solving skills and bring him even more cruel torture.
So similarly, he also hated himself for not being able to solve the case.
Therefore, he had an obsession, which was to have a pair of eyes that could see through all mysteries.
Of course, obsession in this world is just obsession after all.
What detectives can do is to improve their abilities.
At that time, he had to admit that he was no match for the criminal.
But his growth has been amazing, and fighting with this criminal over the years has allowed him to improve.
In this last case, the detective showed amazing foresight.
In the end, in order not to miss the opportunity, in order not to fail as in the past, and in order not to be dragged down by others, he decided to act alone.
So this time, he finally met the criminal.
He seemed to have met an old friend.
But this time, it was also the last case he handled.
During the brief chase, the other party seemed to be leading him to the edge of the town.
During the chase, he saw the familiar town again.
Sometimes he had a very strange feeling.
Everything in this world is normal.
But the town seems to have an extremely strange magnetic field.
It felt like someone was staring at me, as if someone in the sky was watching me.
It seems that many people in this town are carrying a secret.
The detective could sense a palpable sense of relief after leaving town.
But he was unable to investigate this mysterious feeling.
Because until the moment of his death, he still believed that everything in the world was operating in an orderly manner, ordinary and boring, but not dangerous.
boom.
When the gunshots rang out, that mysterious feeling enveloped me again.
The detective fell.
His expression was frozen in disappointment and confusion, but there was no panic, sadness or anger.
Because at that time, he was already a qualified semi-finished product.
…
…
Three days later.
In the garbage dump outside the town.
Those who are responsible for handling these garbage are generally middle-aged people.
Most of them pursued their nature when they were young and neglected their studies. When they reach middle age, they can only support themselves by doing jobs that others are unwilling to do.
Such a man is Hodder, a scruffy-bearded fifty-two-year-old.
He and a young man were the only ones in charge of the entire garbage dump.
There were a few times when Hood was very curious. The young man was handsome and seemed to be quite knowledgeable. He always held a book that looked very high-end in his hand.
But why would such a person come to work at a garbage dump
Hod also asked, but the other party just smiled and gave a creepy answer:
"It's very convenient to dispose of corpses here."
Of course, Hood just thought it was a joke. After asking several times and getting the same answer, Hood stopped asking any more questions.
There will always be strange young people like this, there will always be some in the world.
For example, although he is very young, he wants to be a community security guard like a middle-aged person.
For example, someone may have a strong learning ability, but is completely unwilling to learn and only wants to find a job that works from 9 to 5, with 2 days off on weekends and a fixed salary.
It doesn't matter, he was like this when he was young.
On this day, Hood planned to have a drink with the young man.
But when he arrived at the hut, he found that the other person was gone.
Hodder was a little puzzled... He pushed the door, but it was not locked and was pushed open immediately.
He had been to this room, and it was the same as usual, neatly furnished, with a TV.
He had been coveting this TV for a long time. Unlike his broken radio, this thing could show pictures.
Hood discovered that the other party had not returned for almost three days.
So I guessed that the boy had gone on a long journey.
That’s not bad. Hood simply collapsed on the sofa like Ge You.
Then he picked up the TV remote control and turned on the TV.
An interview is currently being conducted on the Police Law Online program.
"He is our good friend. Although he is a man of few words, we are all very warm to him and we love him."
"Yes, we also said that after this case is over, you can come here to be an auxiliary police officer... But I didn't expect that this will never be possible."
Hod was very curious. Does that kid like to watch these shows on weekdays
The last channel turned out to be the Police and Law Online column.
He changed the channel.
A financial-themed program, but even this program is still reporting similar things.
"Detective Shirogis, dead. Age 19. Gender male. He was our hero."
"We hereby promise to the general public that we will definitely catch the criminals!"
"Are you confident that you can catch the criminal?"
"Of course!"
"But we got news that it was Bai Wu who provided you with clues in the previous cases about the poker series."
"Rumors, absolute rumors. Let us clarify here that we are in a cooperative relationship with the heroic detective Bai Wu. We have a very friendly relationship. We discuss with each other and we often provide Bai Wu with valuable clues and inferences. In most of the previous cases, we actually had more clues."
"Then how do you explain Mr. Bai Wu's death this time?"
"Mr. Bai Wu is a man who hates evil. He really should have waited for us... Eh."
Bullshit.
Hodder's blood pressure rose.
Even though he didn't pay attention to crime news, he had heard about the poker case from his young colleague.
Huo Dejian had some understanding of Bai Wu. In the casual conversations he had with his colleagues during dinner, he learned that Bai Wu was a lonely person with few friends.
Hodder prefers to trust his colleagues.
So he felt that this was how society was: when a person was alive, he had few friends, but when he died, he suddenly had many friends.
Since the dead cannot speak, they don't mind sharing their good reputation.
"Fuck it, you just make up stories after he dies, right?"
Hodder turned off the TV, too angry to watch it anymore.
It was also at this time that Hod found a letter on the table.
He took a glance and was stunned.
Dear friend,
This guy wrote this for himself
I don't understand you literary young people. Why can't you just fart in front of others? Why do you have to put it in an envelope
Hodder was curious after all, so he tore open the envelope carelessly.
After spreading out the letter, he began to read the contents.
…
…
"Hodder, my friend, when you see this letter, I will happily tell you that I am gone."
"In my life, I rarely interact with stupid people, especially lazy people, but at least lazy people don't have any bad intentions."
"I wasn't very happy during my days at the garbage dump, but luckily you were a very approachable guy. Having you around made me realize that as an ordinary person, I can actually live a less bloated life."
"Of course, if possible, I still hope you can learn and improve yourself. But it doesn't matter, I'm leaving soon, and before I leave, I'll tell you some good news."
"The good news is that my house is yours, along with everything in it, and... the TV you've always wanted to take from me."
"Of course, I left you 50,000 yuan. In fact, it is easy to make money in this world. The easiest ways are all written in the Criminal Code. But the reason why I didn't leave you more is because I know very well that more money will only change you."
"According to my research on humans in this world, once a person's income changes suddenly, their mentality will also change. They will become very inflated."
"Just like in my era, if a person's strength was too strong, he would ignore other lives. Of course there are exceptions."
"That's off topic. I'd like to call you a friend, a term I use on many people, but because of my characteristics, people always don't believe me."
"I'm not lying this time. I regard you as a friend. I will tell the truth to my friends, so after listening to what is about to happen, I'm not sure if you will have the courage to regard me as a friend."
"When you turn on the TV, you will see the news that one of my juniors has died. Over the years, this junior has been educated by me."
"Oh, I'm used to making puzzles, which causes me to skip some stages when I talk. This junior is called Bai Wu."
"Turn on the TV and take a look. I'm sure many people are taking advantage of him right now. You should be very angry right now."
Hood was stunned. Considering that this guy had always mentioned white fog before, he actually felt that it was somewhat credible.
This hero Bai Wu, who appeared on TV and whose body was being divided and eaten, is this kid's descendant
"Xiao Bai is growing very fast. In the last case, I underestimated him. In a sense, I underestimated my enemy, which led to my failure."
"But my failure is his beginning. It means he can now thrive in a world with a higher dimension and more complexity."
"Over the years, my friend... well, I can't call him a friend, my partner and I have been observing him."
"We made a lot of plans, but these plans were temporarily changed because of Xiao Bai's birth, and became a less stable plan with a higher ceiling."
"Xiaobai's death is the official start of this plan."
"Speaking of which, you should understand now, right? I was the one who killed Bai Wu. There is also evidence in the drawer of my TV cabinet, because after killing Xiao Bai, I left a playing card at the scene."
"I deliberately did not hide my fingerprints on that playing card, and the playing card under the TV cabinet will prove to you that what I said is true."
"Are you horrified? Are you scared? I've handled a lot of bodies in the garbage dump. I told you all this, but you didn't believe it."
"Sometimes I wonder too. It's hard for humans to tell the difference between truth and falsehood. Even Xiao Bai is the same."
Hodder got goosebumps.
“Grass…grass, grass, grass!”
Recalling the boy's expression when he said that the garbage dump was for the convenience of disposing of corpses, recalling that calmness... he suddenly wanted to vomit.
"By the way, the reason I told you all this is that I hope that what I did can leave some traces. If...if I fail, someone who comes here in the future may know that someone once resisted."
"I guess you must be confused. In your words, you are just rebelling against a ball."
"So if you leave now, I can understand, but from what I understand about you, you should still continue to watch."
"After all, the clue to the fifty thousand dollars is hidden in the following content, so Hod, I will tell you a story next."
(I'm still doing my best - please! vote! for me!)
