Her words felt very normal, as easy as eating and drinking, as if she was saying: "Isn't it just teleportation? Isn't it enough to have hands? Everyone can do it? ? "
But Xia Keke didn't think anything was wrong after hearing this. Her eyes sparkled and she said with admiration, "Brother is so amazing! I only know some elementary space skills, but you can already teleport and travel everywhere!"
"Um... hehe, no big deal. Hurry up and finish your breakfast. Brother will take you out to play later." Ling Mengxue laughed dryly, feeling a little guilty.
It's really innocent and cute. Oh, there is absolutely no derogatory meaning in it.
Xia Keke nodded excitedly and sat on the bed with her legs swinging. Her petite figure took up a tiny space on the big bed, and her long hair spread behind her, falling on the white bedding.
Perhaps because of her petite figure, the nightgown she wore seemed a little loose, and the clothes on her right shoulder had half slipped down to her elbow, revealing her white and creamy shoulder.
It seems...something is wrong? ?

Chapter 150: Caught, and Not Caught.
Then, Xia Keke suddenly became interested again, and smiled: "Brother Xiluo, I feel that your hair is longer than other boys'. It looks very good. I mean in our world. If it weren't for your clothes, people would have thought you were a girl when they saw you for the first time. Is there any special reason?"
Ling Mengxue thought about it and answered truthfully: "No, it's just because I'm too lazy to cut it."
Because of her original hairstyle, her hair is now longer and falls down naturally, giving her a youthful and girlish temperament.
If it grows longer, it will probably be straight and black. There is a barbershop in town, so I have to cut it back...
and many more!
Her current form is just a magical illusion, okay?
Thinking of her own situation, Ling Mengxue was speechless again.
The reason why the hair is grown longer is to avoid being exposed. If you reach out and touch it, the detected length will definitely be longer!
Not long after, when Xia Keke had changed her clothes, Ling Mengxue closed the door and prepared to go out to explore.
Space teleportation must never appear in the public eye, so after the two went out, they selectively moved to an unmanned path.
After all, there is no magic in this world. It’s just that women’s genes are stronger. If teleportation suddenly appears, wouldn’t it cause panic?
It’s okay for a few individuals, but what if they are caught on surveillance camera?
For the remaining distance, Ling Mengxue took Xia Keke into the streets and began to wander around this prosperous land.
A variety of shops appeared before our eyes, including clothing stores, pawnshops, supermarkets, fresh food markets...
All this gave them the illusion that they were still in the original world.
But when her gaze returned to those strong women and weak boys again, Ling Mengxue slapped her face with both hands and immediately woke herself up again.
Illusions are illusions after all, and reality is still so cruel.
As we were walking, the square in front of us suddenly became much noisier, the crowd was boiling, and several policemen in blue uniforms stood in the middle, as if they were announcing some news.
When they got closer, they were finally able to get a general idea of what was going on.
But it was because she knew the truth that Ling Mengxue became even more confused, not because of anything else, but because the content was inexplicably shocking.
The murderer has been caught!
And in the central square of the town, three bloody bodies were lying there. They were all victims of last night, one man and two women, who looked very young. They were all covered with a white cloth, and their gender could only be roughly determined by their outlines.
But the problem is too big. Although she has not put herself into any game character, Ling Mengxue is also clear about the rules of victory in the main line.
"When the murderer is killed or brought to justice, the mission will be automatically concluded and all players can leave the secret realm in advance—"
But now, they haven't received any task prompts. What went wrong?
Either the system is broken or the police have arrested the wrong person. In comparison, Ling Mengxue prefers the latter.
After all, the secret realm has just been open for one night. In the absence of any clues, even a great detective would be left with nothing to do.
Unless a blind cat catches a dead mouse, the probability is really low.
Just as they were in silence, a female detective not far ahead suddenly showed a look of joy, stepped out from around the crowd, and hurriedly called out: "Ling Feng, Master Meng, over here!"
"Yiren??"
"Yes, yes! I am a police officer now!"
Ye Yiren grinned, raised the hat on her head, couldn't help showing off, and looked quite heroic.
However, due to the role replacement, her appearance is no longer her own. She still looks like a beautiful woman, but gives people a sense of maturity.
As if she understood the doubts of Ling Mengxue and the others, Ye Yiren took advantage of the time when the team was still busy, said hello, and then took them to a cafe next to the square.
"Now that you've all found your way here, I'm sure you've all heard about the situation?"
Sitting near the window, Ye Yiren forced out a smile with some distress.
She stirred the coffee and blew gently. The misty white vapor swayed in the air and then dispersed. She took a small sip. Her mood at this moment was as bitter as the coffee.
Sure enough, we still need to add some sugar, right?
Ling Mengxue's expression gradually became calm, with a hint of worry between her brows: "Since you are a police officer, you must know more than us, right? Has the murderer really been caught?"
"I caught her, but it seems like I didn't catch her." Ye Yiren shook her head, and then a trace of indignation flashed across her face. She clenched her fists in hatred: "There is another player who is a police officer like me. He is a man. On his first night in office, he used his advantage as a 'policewoman' to do whatever he wanted. Unfortunately, most people were on his side. As a result, all the clues were completely messed up! I really want to beat him to death!"
"...Then what? What happened to that murderer?" Ling Mengxue continued to ask.
The operation is so awesome, could it be that he just caught them randomly?
Xia Keke sat by herself nearby, blinked her eyes, and looked at them blankly. She had no idea what the two were talking about, but she felt it was very impressive.
Afterwards, after Ye Yiren's brief explanation, Ling Mengxue seemed to be thinking about something.
It turns out that the "murderer" caught last night was just a suspect. He just happened to appear at the crime scene and was caught by the player who happened to pass by. However, there are many things that cannot be explained.
As for that simple-minded player, his investigation was not rigorous, and the one who got caught was unlucky enough.
Relying on the lack of evidence, I heard that even the trial was hastily concluded and the person was directly convicted?
And the referendum is going to be carried out tomorrow morning?
"No way? Do all your people listen to that guy?" Ling Mengxue curled the corners of her mouth.
It is understandable if one or two people are stupid, but it is abnormal if a group of people are stupid.
Ye Yiren shook her head and silently took another sip of coffee: "Not really, it's just that the director seems to trust him very much, so he let him be in charge of this case from beginning to end. There is nothing we can do even though many of us objected."
"Speechless, I give in, okay? I'm beginning to suspect that this sheriff is a murderer, and probably a pervert. After so long, he hasn't even caught a criminal. Don't you feel ashamed sitting in the police station?" Ling Mengxue silently complained, turning her head to look at the square outside the glass window. (﹁"﹁)
It's not that he was targeting anyone intentionally, after all, the difficulty of investigating each case is different, but the director's approach was a little too stupid, even a little fake.
It can't be that the system activates a collective intelligence reduction aura in order to increase the difficulty of the mission and let the players explore on their own as much as possible, right?
"By the way, that player has a friend, whose identity is the famous 'great detective' in Happy Town. Many colleagues in the hall trust him very much and have basically no doubts about the clues of his reasoning. It feels like a kind of blind worship!" Thinking of something else, Ye Yiren spoke quickly.

Sorry for being late, I've been checking and updating these days, and my attendance is bad again~

Chapter 151: Great Intelligence—Xia Keke!
"Great detective?" Ling Mengxue's face was full of suspicion.
"Well, even when I was standing by and listening, I inexplicably had an urge to believe him. It's like when we hear the name 'Sherlock Holmes', don't we subconsciously feel that there is no case he can't solve?" Ye Yiren said a little nervously.
Ling Mengxue nodded and didn't take it seriously. It was a normal psychological effect.
Maybe in this world, the original great detective Queshi was a legendary figure, but now he is played by a "primary school student". That cannot be changed. There is no way, and you still have to rely on yourself to find clues.
"Do you have a photo of the suspect? Can you show it to me? And what clues do you know so far?"
"Need I say more? I've prepared it for you a long time ago! I was counting on you to help me get a high score!" Ye Yiren giggled and pulled out the documents that had been prepared in advance directly from under the table without leaving any trace.
Ling Mengxue gave a dry laugh and took the thing.
You really think she's some kind of Conan. I'm just an ordinary high school student. I can only play a supporting role and help as much as possible.
"That's it. It's up to you, great detective!"
Seeing that the situation outside was almost settled, Ye Yiren didn't stay for long. She packed up her things and hurried out of the cafe.
Well, the coffee wasn’t paid for!
Ling Mengxue glanced outside. It wasn't the first time anyway.
Fortunately, the girl knew that she was poor, so she had only been asked to help pay for the drinks.
There were few people around their location and no surveillance. Ling Mengxue thought about it and opened the envelope containing the information under the table.
As soon as I opened it, a photo popped up.
Picking it up and taking a look, Ling Mengxue couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Is it the delivery lady from last night?"
"The sister who delivers food?"
When Xia Keke heard the noise, she tiptoed over.
Ling Mengxue nodded, not knowing what to say.
Is it really because of the takeout they ordered that they got ripped off?
No, is it so unlucky?
She was sure that the delivery man was not a murderer, but now there was a problem. The referendum would be carried out tomorrow morning, and she couldn't just stand by and watch, right?
Ling Mengxue felt a little guilty for indirectly causing someone else to get arrested.
How about a prison break?
After simply going through some useful and useless information, she put the things into the task storage space.
A lot of the existing information is useless. All the trivial matters are included. I don’t know whether these are details or just to make up the word count. Anyway, they don’t have any connection when put together. The more you read, the more confusing it becomes. It seems like someone did it on purpose.
Fortunately, we now know where the delivery lady is. She was brought to justice last night and is currently being held in solitary confinement in a detention center.
Not long ago, through mobile phone positioning, Ling Mengxue had found out the specific location of the Happy Town Police Station, and booked a job in a bar KTV opposite it, which could be used to take this opportunity to gather more intelligence.
White Night Bar.
At the steamed bun shop not far from the door, Ling Mengxue gave Xia Keke some instructions, transferred some "soul coins" to her, and let the girl leave first, while she stayed here for the time being.
In crowded and noisy places like bars and nightclubs, there is a lot of gossip and you can often get some useful information.
Moreover, she can immediately detect any situation at the police station opposite and make some preparations in advance.
It was exactly 8:30 in the morning and the bar officially opened early.
There are few people now. As time goes by, there will be more and more customers. The night is when the flow of customers is the largest, and it is easier to do things after dark. We can go to jailbreak then...
Well, never mind. They’ll just leave when the mission is completed. This isn’t their world. What can possibly do anything to a superman who can teleport?
Ling Mengxue walked into the bar. This was her first day at work today.
The task is progressing quickly and if the time is short, I can resign in one day. Otherwise, I might as well stay for a few more days and then find an excuse to resign to the bar manager. Now I'm just waiting for the opportunity.
"Huh? Are you Xiluo's younger brother?"
Seeing someone, a beautiful woman in a red dress came forward with a friendly smile on her face and a hint of joy in her eyes that was hard to conceal: "Brother, you are so handsome. I think you look much better in person than in the photo."
"Manager Zheng?"
Looking at the person coming, Ling Mengxue greeted him uncertainly.
The two had talked on the phone before, and she felt somewhat familiar when she heard the voice.
The woman in red in front of her is her immediate superior. Her full name is “Zheng Yalan”. She is the person in charge, manager and owner of the White Night Bar. According to the introduction on the official website, this woman is also an excellent bartender.
As for the name 'Xiluo', it was just a temporary disguise, and it was just the first two characters of the game ID.
Zheng Yalan poured a glass of orange juice from the beverage machine next to her, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiluo, there is no need to be so formal. Just call me Sister Zheng like everyone else. I will have someone take you to familiarize yourself with the work environment later. We are relatively free during the day and don't have much to do. It will be busier in the evening."
Ling Mengxue paid attention to her situation, took the orange juice, took a sip, and smiled: "Okay, Sister Zheng, then I'll go get busy first?"
"It's okay, you just got here, don't be so anxious." Zheng Yalan lifted her hair and said with a slightly raised corner of her mouth: "I'll let you get off work early tonight, how about inviting you to have a candlelight dinner together?"
"...No need, my sister is waiting for me at home." Ling Mengxue politely declined, and naturally saw through the woman's inner thoughts at a glance.
It's so obvious that he wants to pursue her, this is no longer a hint, right?
