There is Definitely Something Wrong with This Game

Chapter 9: The first fatality

Views:

Sitting in a police car heading to the next crime scene.

Gu Moli fell into deep thought.

"Something's wrong... .with the game's settings?"

"right!"

"There's something wrong with the game settings!"

After solving two consecutive case-solving missions and escaping from a life-and-death crisis, Gu Moli finally relaxed. However, as soon as he relaxed, he immediately discovered something strange.

First of all, three crime-solving missions have been completed, but the players have not left, which means that the conditions for leaving the game have not been met. So first of all, we rule out the option of players working together to pass the level. Combined with the game's prompts, it can be basically determined that this is indeed a competitive game.

But in fact, the basic conditions for leaving the game are very strange, at least three crime-solving tasks must be completed. But there are four players in total. If everyone completes three crime-solving tasks, can everyone leave without any injuries? But what is the meaning of competition in this case

Provoke players to kill each other

That doesn't make sense..

Gu Moli frowned, he had a vague guess that was not so good: even if a player solved three cases alone, he might not be able to meet the so-called escape conditions. The seemingly simple escape conditions actually had some very secret elements behind them.

Otherwise there is no point in competing.

What is it

Could it be that there are hidden requirements in the case

There are four detectives. The condition for escape is to solve three cases, the condition for the brave challenge is to solve six cases, and the condition for the hero trial is to solve all twelve cases. What is the problem here

Brave Challenge, Hero Trial, what is the meaning of these two

... ... That's not right.

In the final analysis, this game does not even indicate the victory conditions.

“Tsk!”

"Did they hide the clues..."

"detective?"

"...Ah, sorry, I was distracted."

Taking a deep breath and rubbing his swollen head, Gu Moli smiled at the policeman who was looking at him suspiciously: "Have we arrived at the next crime scene?"

"Yes."

"Here are the files on the case."

The police handed a document to Gu Moli and then explained: "The crime scene was in the operating room of a hospital in Wei District. The deceased was undergoing an operation at the time. The operation itself was very successful, but not long after the operation, the deceased was found in the ward."

The police paused and said, "The cause of death was cardiac arrest."

Gu Moli looked at the documents. The surgery the deceased had received was to remove his appendix. He also requested general anesthesia. He seemed to be very afraid of pain. However, the surgery had nothing to do with the cause of death. The death by cardiac arrest was too strange. The deceased had no history of genetic diseases, and he did not stay up late or lack sleep. It was impossible for him to have cardiac arrest...

"Did they use a high concentration of lidocaine solution? And it caused death in a short period of time, and the patient could not be saved even after rescue efforts. Does this mean it was injected directly into the vein?"

"Yes."

The police officer looked at Gu Moli with admiration: "You are worthy of being the famous detective of Dongcheng District. The forensic doctor has made the same judgment. Injection marks were found on the arm of the deceased, and a high concentration of lidocaine solution was detected on it. A syringe was even found under the bed in the ward, but the fingerprints on it belonged to the patient himself, so the preliminary judgment is that it was suicide."

"Did the deceased have a motive for suicide?"

"No."

"Then it's still possible that it was a homicide, and the suspect should also be someone from the hospital?"

"Yes."

The police nodded. "But here's the problem. At the time of the incident, a nurse was talking to someone at the door of the ward. After the deceased was sent to the ward, the nurse claimed that she had not seen anyone enter the ward. We checked the hospital's surveillance and confirmed what the nurse said."

In other words.

"Is this a closed-room murder case?"

"That's right."

At this point, the police looked distressed. "Because we couldn't find the suspect, we had to detain all the doctors who were on that floor at the time, including the one who performed the appendectomy on the deceased. You could say they were all suspects, but we couldn't find any evidence."

"If this continues, we will have to close the case and declare the death a suicide."

"I see."

Gu Moli tapped the document in his hand and temporarily put aside the previous distracting thoughts. At the moment when he couldn't find other players and couldn't figure out the game settings, he should focus on solving the case. At least it would never be a wrong thing to solve more cases. Maybe the clues were hidden among them.

"Take me to see the scene."

"This way, please."

After getting off the police car, Gu Moli followed the police directly into the hospital and came to the crime scene on the third floor, which was the deceased's ward.

"There were no fingerprints left at the scene other than those of the deceased. We originally suspected that the criminal might have entered through the window, but in fact, according to the nurse's testimony, she had locked the window from the inside before leaving, and it could not be opened from the outside, so now the investigation has come to a standstill..."

"I see."

Gu Moli nodded, borrowed a pair of gloves from the forensic doctor, put them on, strode into the ward, and began to examine the entire scene.

But what made Gu Moli frown was...

No clues found.

There were no fingerprints or traces of others, the windows were locked, and there were surveillance cameras and nurses at the door. It can be said that no one could have entered the ward before the death of the deceased. Injecting drugs is a very delicate thing and must be done by someone personally, and there is also the issue of the syringe.

The syringe had the deceased's own fingerprints on it, which was obviously unreliable.

But the problem is.

No one can come in.

“A near perfect secret room... ”

Gu Moli took a deep breath, his eyes moved slightly, and suddenly said, "Can I go meet the suspect?"

"Oh, of course."

Perhaps because of the previous case, the police obeyed Gu Moli's words almost every word. Soon, more than a dozen doctors and nurses were called to Gu Moli.

However, what surprised Gu Moli was that after seeing him, one of the nurses was suddenly stunned.

"Eh? Is that you, sir?"

“… … ..”

Gu Moli looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person speaking was an older nurse. At that moment, he was confused, but he quickly reacted.

There is no doubt that he has not been to this hospital.

But the "famous detective" he played should have been here.

After all, players do not enter this world with their real identities, but travel through time to someone in this world and thus join the game.

But the annoying thing is that the memories of both parties are not shared.

Although he was panicking inside, Gu Moli still maintained the most basic calmness on the surface. Facing the police who looked at him with a puzzled look, he nodded very naturally: "I am also a frequent visitor here."

If he asked for more details, Gu Moli would probably be in trouble.

Fortunately, the nurse quickly answered:

"Yeah, Mr. Detective has been here many times."

"It seems to be tonsillitis. Mr. Detective came here for an IV drip before."

"That's it."

Gu Moli responded and said with a smile: "Dear nurse, I have some simple questions to ask you, is that ok?"

“Oh…”

The nurse smiled shyly and said, "Mr. Detective is still so good at talking."

"If you have any questions, just ask them."

"Thanks."

Gu Moli nodded kindly, but when he was about to ask a question.

A series of system sounds rang in my mind again.

The moment he heard the last system prompt tone, Gu Moli suddenly opened his eyes wide.
