Why is my anime art style so weird?

The woman, who appeared to be the school health doctor, made the suggestion casually.

"I understand, thank you, doctor."

The hunchbacked girl bowed slightly to the woman, then turned and left.

It turned out she had a health problem. Xu Ming looked at her back thoughtfully.

However, Xu Ming always felt a strong sense of unease about this girl, especially when she got close, Xu Ming immediately felt a chilling aura rush towards him.

Just as Xu Ming was about to activate his spiritual vision to take a look, the female doctor next to him suddenly spoke up.

"What? You've taken a fancy to her?"

Xu Ming turned his head and found the female doctor looking him over with great interest.

Before he could even speak, the female doctor seemed to have discovered something unusual.

"By the way, are you the rumored investigator from the Ministry of Defense? I never expected you to be so young. Is the Japanese government now recruiting even high school students as civil servants?"

The female doctor circled around Xu Ming with a curious expression.

"Excuse me, are you the school's health doctor?"

Xu Ming asked.

“That’s right, I am the school doctor at Liyuan. You can call me Dr. Karen.”

Xu Ming's eyes flashed; it really was her!

However, Xu Ming feigned a puzzled expression.

"Foreigner?"

"To be precise, he is of mixed race."

Karen said it with a nonchalant expression.

"How many years has Dr. Karen been working at Liyuan?"

Xu Ming suddenly asked.

"Eh~ Investigator, you actually want to investigate me?"

Karen smiled knowingly.

Xu Ming shook his head.

"No, I just wanted to confirm whether Dr. Karen knew about the incident I was investigating."

Karen immediately showed interest.

"I've been working at Liyuan for two or three years now. What do you want to investigate? Tell me, maybe I know the answer~"

Xu Ming hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Are you aware of the fire that broke out in the old teaching building a year ago?"

Karen suddenly realized.

"So you were investigating that matter. It caused quite a stir, of course I know."

I not only know, but I also know some secrets that the authorities haven't revealed.

A sly glint flashed across Karen's face.

Xu Ming's eyes lit up immediately.

"Could you...?"

Just as Xu Ming was about to ask a question, Karen immediately interrupted him.

"But why should I tell you?"

"As a member of society, Investigator, you wouldn't think you can get something without paying a price, would you?"

Xu Ming frowned.

What do you want?

"Intelligence? Since you want intelligence, then let's trade intelligence for it."

Xu Ming nodded.

"Intelligence for intelligence, that makes perfect sense. Tell me, what kind of intelligence do you want to know?"

Even if he didn't know, he could ask Kato Megumi via his phone. If all he had to do was give up information, Xu Ming was willing to accept it.

Chapter 246 The Secret Behind the Fire

"Since you're an investigator, you must have handled many cases."

"That's it."

Xu Ming gave a vague answer.

"So... are there any cases like that, the really special kind... where the victim suffers all sorts of cruel torture?"

Whether it's mental or physical torture, tell me the details of the torture, the more detailed the better.

Karen couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick her lips.

Her movements were incredibly seductive and alluring, but her words were even more perverse.

"Clam!?"

Xu Ming stared at her in shock.

Who would have thought that this stunningly beautiful woman with a perfect figure and looks would actually be... a sadistic pervert!?

Perhaps Xu Ming's gaze was too blatant, Karen raised her eyebrows.

"I don't have any medical skills, I only know a little about first aid. Do you know why I came to Liyuan to be the school doctor?"

Xu Ming shook his head; he felt completely out of sync with the other person.

"Of course, it's because only the school doctor at Liyuan can often see the pained yet forced-to-end expressions on the youthful and beautiful faces of those well-bred young ladies!"

As she said this, Karen's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

Karen looked at Xu Ming with a puzzled expression.

It turned out that Xu Ming had just suddenly taken two steps back.

Xu Ming scratched the back of his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said:

"I don't know why, but subconsciously I just want to stay away from you."

"..."

If Karen simply wanted to know the inside story of these cases, she didn't need to ask Kato Megumi; Xu Ming, having gone through so much, could tell her himself.

So Xu Ming randomly picked one or two stories that he thought were 'interesting' and told them to Karen.

After hearing this, Karen involuntarily hugged her arms tightly to her chest, her legs trembled slightly, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were slightly bloodshot, and she was breathing heavily, clearly extremely excited.

It took her quite a while to recover.

She exhaled a breath of hot, stale air, then pushed open the door to the infirmary and extended an invitation to Xu Ming.

"Come in."

Seeing the hesitation on Xu Ming's face, Karen rolled her eyes at him.

"You don't mean to talk about the secrets of Liyuan in the corridor, do you?"

Xu Ming considered for a moment before following Karen into the infirmary.

Inside the infirmary was a medicine cabinet labeled 'First Aid', a set of desks and chairs, several round stools, a simple washbasin, and a simple steel-framed bed surrounded by a white curtain.

"Please sit wherever you like, don't be shy."

Karen greeted her casually.

Xu Ming didn't stand on ceremony at all; he pulled over a round stool and sat down.

Karen then sat down in the chair in front of the desk, crossing her legs.

This subconscious movement actually made Karen's legs appear even longer and more graceful.

"Speak, what do you want to know?"

Karen said very casually.

Xu Ming ignored Karen's mature charm and went straight to the point.

What secrets did that fire conceal?

Karen touched her chin with one finger, a look of reminiscence on her face.

"To be honest, there are quite a few secrets... after all, they were all daughters of wealthy families who died~"

At this point, a faint hint of sarcasm appeared on Karen's face.

"After the incident, autopsies were performed on some of the bodies, and it was discovered that they had ingested sleeping pills. The Metropolitan Police Department concluded that this was a premeditated arson murder."

However, another piece of evidence was later found in the wreckage of the classroom. Almost all the victims' families pressured the Metropolitan Police Department to conceal the truth of the case. Ultimately, the Metropolitan Police Department was forced to close the case as a mass self-immolation of the first-year class, Class D.

The victim's family actually requested to conceal the details of the case—what kind of tactic is this?!

Xu Ming's body trembled, and he quickly asked.

"What exactly is the evidence?"

"It is a transaction record of all the students in Class 1D of Grade 1 going to the bar street to seek help."

The document clearly records the time, location, and transaction amount for each student who sought assistance.

It even came with hotel room receipts.

Someone deliberately put this evidence in an iron box and placed it on the most conspicuous podium.

It's highly likely that the arsonist did it.

Xu Ming was dumbfounded.

Karen seemed quite pleased with Xu Ming's shocked expression, and a pleasant smile involuntarily appeared on her pretty face.
