Conan Rick's Investigator

This means that as long as the props in the system do not involve direct interaction with the virtual world of the game, they can still be used.

"I know where Baker Street is..."

Qin Zhibo's words surprised others, and Qin Zhibo explained that he had been to London in the real world, and the map of this game was restored based on the real London.

Everyone was immediately convinced by this explanation and excitedly followed Qin Zhibo.

Looking at everyone who had already started enjoying the game and completely forgotten that they had just been "PVPed", Bill Tuttle felt even more aggrieved.

However, little Walter Marsh was staring at him from behind with a pair of terrifying gray eyes, so he had to hurry up and move forward.

……

Travelling from west to east London is no easy feat, and one has to avoid the police patrolling the roads as much as possible.

During this period, Bill Tuttle wanted to find the police several times to tell them about his experience. It would be even better if he could end the game directly.

But Walter Marsh Jr.'s eyes were fixed on him from behind, and Bill Tuttle, feeling uneasy, could only behave submissively to avoid being beaten again.

In fact, Bill Tuttle had been wondering what kind of grudge he had with this giant man that he was being targeted by him.

The most recent incident that concerned him was undoubtedly the Oklahoma serial killer case, and he was also classified as a "person of interest" by the media.

But thanks to the influence of his cousin, the governor, the police couldn't cause trouble for him. Does this big man want to cause trouble for him alone?

Bill Tuttle secretly decided that when he returned, he would study the identity and background of this giant man carefully.

……

When they arrived at 221B Baker Street, everyone stood at the door together, and Qin Zhibo was responsible for knocking on the door.

A woman came to open the door. Since she was a virtual character, Qin Zhibo could not see the name above her head.

"Hello, we are here to ask Mr. Holmes for a case."

After hearing Qin Zhibo's words, the woman immediately showed a happy expression and exclaimed: "Thank God! Finally, a case has come to my door..."

"You don't know that Holmes is almost going crazy because he has no cases. He tortures the old dog he and Dr. Watson keep and my house in his room every day."

"I hope your case can arouse his interest, so that I can have some peace of mind..."

Everyone followed the old woman upstairs, and one of the players who had read Sherlock Holmes explained to everyone that the woman should be Holmes's landlord, Mrs. Hudson.

On the second floor of 221B, before anyone could push the door open, an arrogant voice came from inside.

"Lestrade, my old friend, I knew you were going to ask me for help..."

However, when he opened the door, Holmes was stunned by the unfamiliar faces including Qin Zhibo.

Qin Zhibo was also a little stunned when he saw Holmes in front of him.

Isn't this Yusaku Kudo's face?

Qin Zhibo glanced at the name above Holmes' head and confirmed that this was not a guest appearance by Kudo Yusaku himself in the game, but simply a virtual character.

Good boy, you're carrying some contraband...

Under the setting of eliminating the sense of incongruity in the game, the NPC Sherlock Holmes did not have any doubts about the identities of the few people, and directly provided the information about Jack the Ripper that was prepared for Lestrade.

"Everything indicates that there is definitely some kind of relationship between Jack the Ripper and James Moriarty..."

Just as the NPC Holmes was introducing the plot, the sound of a gun being cocked suddenly came from behind everyone.

When everyone looked back, they saw that it was Walter Marsh Jr. who picked up the silver revolver on the fireplace in the room, pulled the trigger, and pointed it at Bill Tuttle's head.

Seeing the black muzzle of the gun pointed at his head, Bill Tuttle panicked and asked in horror: "What are you doing?"

Little Walter Marsh remained expressionless, and said in a deep voice, "On the way here, you kept wanting to call the police... I told you I would punish the betrayer."

"Don't worry, this is just a game world. Even if you die, it just ends the game."

Bill Tuttle, his face filled with panic, tried to defend himself, but Walter Marsh Jr.'s fingers were already exerting force.

"Game over..."

Peng——

With a gunshot, the bullet hit Bill Tuttle's head, and his virtual image immediately went out like a turned-off TV screen.

The smoke dissipated from the muzzle of the gun. Little Walter Marsh put down his pistol as if nothing had happened and said calmly, "You guys continue..."

However, everyone, including the game NPCs, had surprised expressions on their faces and had no idea how to deal with this situation.

Especially Holmes' face. Maybe it was because the system settings did not include Holmes' surprised face. Holmes' face twitched back and forth like a computer crash.

Just like that, everyone was stuck in a somewhat awkward atmosphere for a while, and the entire game interface suddenly went dark as if it had crashed.

When he opened his eyes again, Qin Zhibo found himself back in the game cabin, or the game was forcibly exited.

呲——

The game door opened automatically, and everyone looked around in confusion, not understanding why the game was suddenly interrupted.

At this moment, a female scream erupted from the crowd.

"what--"

The voice was very sharp and thin, and it was obvious that it was the voice of an old professional. Qin Zhibo immediately recognized it as the voice of Suzuki Sonoko.

Qin Zhibo looked in the direction of the sound and saw a fat, swollen body collapsed on the game cabin seat next to Suzuki Sonoko.

It was Bill Tuttle.

he died……

Chapter 521 This game... has some bugs

With Suzuki Sonoko's scream, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Most celebrities from all over the United States chose to flee in all directions, fearing that if they stayed in the "cocoon" any longer, they would die as easily as Bill Tuttle.

Qin Zhibo immediately broke through the crowd and came to Bill Tuttle. He took a closer look at the survey point above his head and confirmed that he was dead.

Why do I feel like... I also have the constitution of a god of death?

Qin Zhibo secretly complained in his heart and then began to investigate.

【Corpse Investigation√】

[Name of deceased: Bill Lee Tuttle]

[Time of death: 1 minutes ago]

[Cause of death: cardiac arrest]

[Corpse investigation completed, character skill obtained: Social Skill (Persuasion)]

[Repeatedly acquired skills have been converted into 1000 proficiency points for this skill]

Current progress (2/2)

[Congratulations on completing the main quest - Discovering and Investigating the Members of the Yellow Seal Brotherhood]

[Acquire 4000 general skill proficiency]

The following hint was a completely unexpected surprise. Qin Zhibo had not expected that investigating the bodies of dead members could also complete the main quest of the esoteric investigation.

At the same time, the system's task prompt also appears at this time

Side quest: Find out the murderer of this case

Task requirements: time limit 1 hour

Mission Reward: 400 General Skill Proficiency, 200 Social Credit (Michael Bay)

-

Qin Zhibo looked at the social credit label in the reward and knew that this social credit reward was for the character of Michael Bay.

Because he is now wearing a human skin mask, the identity information on Qin Zhibo's character card is not Qin Zhibo, but Michael Bay, and his social credit is only 1800.

This is probably due to his nepotism with Carl Sanford, which allowed him to be promoted so high.

At this moment, Holmes, who was not participating in the game... Kudo Yusaku also came over and began to examine the body.

"Unfortunately, this gentleman has passed away..."

Following behind Kudo Yusaku was a large group of people, including Thomas Sindora, the chairman of Sindora Corporation. Next to him was a Japanese man with the name Kashimura Tadaki floating above his head.

"What the hell does this happen?"

"Who can tell me!"

Thomas Sindora was shocked when he saw the dead man lying in the game cabin, and he asked his men what was going on.

Although it is only a matter of time before someone dies at a game launch, it’s not the case at this US launch!

If this incident affects the convening of the subsequent press conference, not only will the entire Sindora Empire face a financial crisis, but his subsequent plans will also become empty talk.

Is it really Murphy's Law as the antique dealer Carl said?

At this moment, someone among the surrounding guests suddenly raised his finger and pointed at the tall little Walter Marsh, shouting, "It's him! He killed him!"

Little Walter Marsh looked at the player who pointed him with a blank gaze. The player was instantly frightened by the gloomy expression, but when he thought of so many people watching, he straightened his back a little.

Yusaku Kudo glanced at the oppressive figure and terrifying face of Walter Marsh Jr., and without making any preconceived assumptions, he turned to ask the gamer what was going on.

"That's him! He just shot this guy in the head and killed him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar, and the C position that belonged exclusively to the murderer was given to little Walter.

Walter Marsh Jr., still expressionless, explained grimly, "I shot him in the game, and it was only his game character that was killed, wasn't it?"

Little Walter Marsh looked at Thomas Sindorah, and Sindorah was reminded of this face.

The other party is the CEO of STK, whose company's software technology development is also world-leading.

Thomas Sindora nodded awkwardly, then looked at the person in charge of the development of the "Cocoon" project, Tadaki Kashimura, and motioned him to explain.

"Logically speaking, it's like this..."

“Since we are considering the game scenario where players compete with each other, we have not cancelled the setting that players can attack each other.”

"However, when a game character is attacked, only the game character is injured. At most, it will feel some pain, but the game character will not disappear."

"This game character disappeared, maybe due to some technical issues..."

In fact, Tadaki Kashimura didn't finish his words. There was still a technical problem, that is, all players' "cocoon" game cabins popped out automatically.

Generally speaking, if the biological monitoring device in the "cocoon" senses that the player's physical condition is not good, it will only pop out the "cocoon" of this player alone, rather than all 50 people.

This made him vaguely feel that something seemed to have surpassed the system control level he had set.

Of course, it could also be a bug that hasn't been fixed yet.

At this moment, Kudo Yusaku, who was standing beside the corpse and thinking silently, saw the key point and began to reason.

"The deceased was clutching his chest in agony before his death, suggesting the pain he felt was from the heart."

"And the medicine box that fell in the game cabin suggests he tried to drink medicine. Perhaps this is related to his own illness?"

Soon, Bill Tuttle's assistant came over to identify the body and explained that Tuttle himself had some diseases, including three highs and heart disease.

This made the case clear: Bill Tuttle died of a heart attack.

As for the cause of the heart attack... Kudo Yusaku didn't say it immediately, but glanced at Walter Marsh Jr.

Thanks to new technology, this game can be almost the same as the real world, and Kudo Yusaku himself has also experienced the development version.

If someone shoots a gun at you in the game world, you will inevitably feel scared even if you know it's just a game.

In this case, this case can only be classified as an accidental death caused by human error...

Just as Kudo Yusaku was making this judgment in his heart, a voice came from the crowd of onlookers.

"That... is a camera, right?"

"Why not see what the cameras recorded?"

Kudo Yusaku looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was a man with slightly curly blond hair who said this.

The voice sounded familiar, but for a moment I couldn't remember whose it was.

Kudo Yusaku didn't pay much attention to it. He looked at an inconspicuous corner of the game cabin and saw a small camera. He turned to Kashimura Tadaki and asked, "Kashimura, is there a camera in this game cabin?"
