After their confessions were rejected, they regretted it for the rest of their lives.

"My surname is Chen, you can call me Officer Chen."

"Did you ever question my brother like this before? When my brother inherited those assets, he also mentioned a police officer surnamed Chen to me."

Xia Weichan seemed very relaxed, and his question caught Officer Chen, who was prepared, off guard.

"Ahem!"

Officer Chen coughed twice and reorganized what he was about to say.

"That's right, but Xia Weiyu wouldn't rush to sort out the estate and prepare to inherit it immediately after someone dies, and then get herself into the interrogation room."

"I was just fulfilling his last wish," Xia Weichan sighed.

Only then did he show a hint of sadness.

"You also took my briefcase, which I always carry with me. I'm sure it wasn't just for safekeeping, was it? Inside was his will, which was recorded on video. Didn't it clearly state that the heirs should collect the estate as soon as possible?"

"..."

Officer Chen frowned; what the other party said was true.

As for Xia Weiyu, this younger brother who suddenly appeared...

His first reaction was that it was an imposter, after all, in his mind, Xia Weiyu had always been an inspirational figure who came from an orphan background and achieved her current status through her own efforts.

But this face, so strikingly similar to the deceased's, was right in front of them.

After checking the information,

No one expected that Xia Weiyu actually had a biological younger brother.

According to inheritance law, Xia Weichan does indeed have the right to inherit Xia Weiyu's estate.

They had indeed watched the video of the will; there were no signs of forgery, and it was indeed Xia Weiyu...

Recorded on the last day of his life.

It was like knowing you were going to die that very night...

"If that's really the case, then you, as the only family member, have acted quite cold-bloodedly."

"What kind of behavior do you think should be shown towards the living relics left behind by the deceased?" Xia Weichan leaned back in her chair.

Slowly exhale:

"He can finally rest; that was my first thought when I heard he had died."

Why would you think that way?

Looking at the youthful face of the college student in front of him, Officer Chen could actually sense the nonchalance of a seasoned veteran.

Officer Chen said, "That's clearly your only relative. Maybe your brother even supported your college expenses."

"...Even if I act coldly, isn't it a bit too cruel to keep emphasizing the loss of my family members?"

"...Feel sorry."

"He often worked until late at night, slept until the early hours of the morning, and got up early in the morning. His work and rest schedule was extremely irregular, and his work environment was high-pressure. I am not surprised at all that he died suddenly at such a young age."

As Xia Weichan spoke, she watched another police officer taking a statement.

He further emphasized, "Wasn't the death report also stating that it was a heart attack caused by overwork?"

"Yes." Officer Chen nodded.

Then another officer next to him handed him the statement, glanced at it, and asked:

"Mr. Xia, there's one more thing I need to confirm. Did Xia Weiyu confess his feelings to one of their company's idols at a Japanese restaurant last night?"

"Yes, perhaps the blow from the failed confession was the trigger that led to my brother's sudden death."

As the conversation progressed, Officer Chen increasingly sensed the closeness of the relationship between the two.

He even began to suspect that Xia Weichan and Xia Weiyu were not only brothers, but also had a relationship of being each other's substitutes.

Otherwise, how could people have the illusion that the two are the same person?

Xia Weichan, a person who seemed abnormal in every way yet perfectly normal in every way, made it impossible for the two interrogating police officers to let go of their suspicions.

Intuitively, they felt there were mysteries surrounding this college student named Xia Weichan that they hadn't yet uncovered.

But the conversation ended up with absolutely nothing to ask.

How could a student about to enter their third year of university give off this kind of feeling?

"..."

Xia Weichan looked at Officer Chen, scratching her head and trying to get more information out of him.

He himself had long since lost all patience in this tedious conversation.

His numb buttocks were too.

"Since there's nothing to ask, don't waste my time."

After all, Xia Weichan had a lot of things to do, and she wasted more time at the police station than she had imagined.

After being uncuffed, he walked out of the interrogation room without hesitation and retrieved his briefcase.

This time, the time is half that of usual, only three months.

Dealing with the miscellaneous tasks left over from last week's playthrough, as well as finding suitable targets to bind with, all these things become tense under the pressure of time.

[Please, host, find a suitable romantic relationship as soon as possible.]

It's started again...

Looking at the system with its ghosting effect caused by a bug on the screen, Xia Weichan felt inexplicably helpless.

"If we fail again this time, we might as well just give up..."

Thinking silently to myself, I slowly walked to a fork in the corridor.

Then Xia Weichan suddenly felt a soft body pounce on her chest.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of the girl being hit could be heard.

"Ugh!"

The sound is as light and ethereal as a wind chime, making even simple two-syllable words sound exceptionally beautiful.

And yet, it felt strangely familiar.

She was a girl with extremely beautiful features, not very tall, and a slender figure.

Her long, flowing, waist-length black hair and exposed skin revealed a contrasting, translucent, and cool white complexion.

Her black mask was knocked off, revealing her small, slightly chubby, fair face.

Against this backdrop, her black trench coat inevitably creates a charming contrast, like a high school girl dressed in mature clothes, trying to look like an adult.

Fortunately, the two bumped into each other at a leisurely pace.

Otherwise, with her height of 1.6 meters and her slender frame, it would be difficult for her to withstand too much damage.

The girl frowned, her long, narrow eyebrows furrowed, and put her mask back on, looking up somewhat angrily.

"How can you tell where you're going...?"

Before the words could even be uttered,

The next moment, she met Xia Weichan's gaze.

The air seemed to fall silent.

Xia Weichan looked at the girl's clear black and white eyes and a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

After a moment, the girl blinked her bright eyes and spoke tentatively:

"Mr. Ye?"

"ha?"

"...Sorry, I must have mistaken you for someone else."

After saying that, the girl quickly turned and ran away.

Watching that receding figure, Xia Weichan's thoughts were somewhat unsettled.

He admitted that he was stunned when he saw the girl's face.

He couldn't even manage to say sorry.

It's not the cliché of love at first sight or lust at first sight.

Rather, it was the astonishment of encountering a familiar old friend...

It's like the coincidence of just thinking of someone and then turning around and bumping into them.

Zuoqiu Hangyu...

What is he doing here?!

The "Mr. Night" that suddenly came out of the girl's mouth was Xia Weichan's detective nickname during her first playthrough.

To be honest, when Zuoqiu Hangyu called out that familiar "Mr. Ye,"

Xia Weichan's reaction was not one of warmth, but rather a stunned shock from above.

That's why he was glad he reacted quickly and showed a stranger's attitude.

Xia Weichan was well aware of Zuoqiu Hangyu's keen perception in certain areas; he could detect subtle changes in a person's emotions with just a simple glance.

His intuition told him that if he were recognized, something bad would happen.

Aside from judging a girl's feelings, Xia Weichan's intuition has never been wrong.

Not only that,

What surprised Xia Weichan even more was the panel displayed above the girl's head.

[Can be bound]

[Development Potential: Extremely High]

[Selectable character development paths: Lawyer, ■■, ■■■.]

I initially thought it was a wall-binding bug, or an overlap with a bindable object in a certain room.

However, the name of the label—【Zuoqiu Hangyu】

But it truly shows.

"Why...?"

Xia Weichan quickly left the police station, wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

"What... what's going on in this playthrough?"
