Zongman, start your journey to godhood by saving the heroine of anime

Before Victorica and the other could reach a decision, Gurevan's voice came from the direction of the elevator.

"Hey! My dear friend! I never expected to run into you here again!"

As Gurevan approached, he realized there was another young girl there, so he immediately turned to greet Avril.

"Oh! There's a beautiful lady here today!"

"Greven?"

Victorica glanced at her brother who had suddenly arrived.

"You came just in time!"

Gurevan was somewhat surprised, seemingly not expecting Victorique to bring him up this time.

"Bai Ye, why don't you tell Grevin the details?"

Bai Ye nodded upon hearing this and told Grewyn about Avril's experience of being impersonated, tied up and taken to a warehouse, and then being rescued by him.

"I never expected such a terrible incident to happen at school today."

After listening, Gurevan frowned, looking as if he was deep in thought.

"I also had two things I wanted to ask my dear friend whom I hadn't seen for a few days."

"Now that we've encountered such a beautiful young woman, Officer Grevin absolutely cannot stand idly by!"

Gurevan raised his right hand proudly, with an expression that said, "Who else but me?"

Avril, standing to the side, was startled by the drill-wielding weirdo. As soon as Grevin raised his hand, the girl hid behind Bai Ye.

This left Gurevan, who was posing for a photo, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"Then it's decided. We'll go to the cemetery first, find the inheritance that Avril's grandfather left her, and then go to the classroom to catch that imposter."

"Now, Grevin, tell us what you want to talk to us about."

Upon hearing Bai Ye's immediate decision, Gurevin, who had just been striking a pose and standing there dumbfounded, seemed to have seen a step forward.

He immediately told Victorique and the others about the strange things that had happened to him that day.

"The first case I received was early in the morning."

"It is said that a man was riding a motorcycle when he was inexplicably beheaded on the road."

“But I interviewed all the eyewitnesses at the time, and they all said that there was no one else near the man, even the closest person to the man was more than 200 meters away.”

Gurevan was very curious.

"It can't be some kind of ghost committing the crime again!"

After hearing this, Victorica lowered her head and thought for a moment before asking.

"Did you find any strange tools used in the crime near the dead man?"

Gurevan shook his head.

"No, there are no suspicious knives nearby that could be used for decapitation. I led my men to search the surrounding area, but we couldn't find even a small, sharp piece of metal."

Victorique continued to think, and then Gurevan seemed to remember something and took out a bundle of kite string.

"By the way, there was a kite string tangled in a big tree nearby, but after everyone in our police station deduced, they all believe that this case has nothing to do with the kite string."

"You've all fallen!"

Gurevin was interrupted by Victorique before he could finish speaking.

"This kite string should be the murder weapon used to kill the man."

Victorique made this assessment.

"Impossible! How could a bundle of threads possibly be used to behead a grown man?"

Gurevan vehemently argued that if they all believed something harmless was actually a murder weapon, then wouldn't they, the police officers, become clowns?

Seeing Gureven's appearance, even Bai Ye, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to look at him anymore.

If this were in my previous life's country, anyone who had received nine years of compulsory education and knew a little about physics, even a primary school student, would probably be able to guess the details of the matter when they saw words like "speeding motorcycle" and "beheading by kite string".

However, this was still during World War I, and the people of Suvar were still from a feudal country.

Bai Ye didn't blame him, but under Victorique's look of disbelief, he pulled Gurevin aside and gave him a lesson in elementary physics.

"I now roughly understand the criminal's modus operandi."

After a brief explanation, Gurevin looked enlightened and followed Bai Ye back here.

"And then comes the second problem you encountered today."

Victorique gestured for Gurevan to ask quickly.

"Actually, the second one isn't really a case. Some small villages in the south have recently received reports that the phantom thief Kiaran, who disappeared several years ago, has started committing crimes again in the last two days."

Gurevan shook his head.

"I'm called a phantom thief, but so far I haven't found any clues. I was just mentioning it casually. I'm mainly here to ask about my best friend's problem, and it's about the first thing."

"Now that we have the answer, let's deal with Miss Avril's matter first!"

"That's right! Go and arrest that imposter!"

Avril, hiding behind Bai Ye, completely agreed.

"The Phantom Thief Kiaran?"

Bai Ye, standing to the side, wore a meaningful expression and murmured something.

"Maybe both of your problems can be solved at the same time this time!"

"what?"

Gurevan seemed not to have heard Bai Ye's words clearly.

“It’s nothing, let’s go! First, let’s go to the cemetery to find what Avril’s grandfather left behind. Grevin, you should contact the police station beforehand. That imposter’s identity is not so simple.”

"Although I feel it's unnecessary to arrest just one girl, since you've already said so, my dear friend, I'll contact the police station later."

Gurevan nodded, and then everyone headed toward the school cemetery.

Even Victorica was no exception, unusually joining the others.

Chapter 42 Tomb Raider (Two chapters combined into one)

Under a clear sky, the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly.

The perimeter of the cemetery is designed like a French garden, with colorful flower beds everywhere, and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating.

In the very center of the cemetery stands a tomb chamber that, at first glance, clearly shows signs of weathering and resembles a relic.

At this moment, several small figures were standing by the entrance to the tomb, seemingly indicating that a funeral was being held.

The sharp-eyed Bai Ye even spotted it from afar.

Among the crowd helping at the funeral, there was a figure with short, bright blond hair.

Upon closer inspection, wasn't this the imposter Avril Lavigne I had just seen that morning?

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party hadn't seen them, Bai Ye quickly pulled Avril behind him and hid her.

The Victorique siblings, who were standing nearby, wanted to ask more questions.

However, Bai Ye simply pointed ahead, and Victorica seemed to understand something. He nodded, kicked the still somewhat clueless Gureven, and signaled him to keep quiet.

Victoria pulled Avril behind a nearby flower bed and hid her.

Bai Ye and Gu Lewen then walked together toward the crowd holding the funeral.

"Bai Ye! What are you doing here?"

"And about you skipping class this morning, you can't escape this time. You have to give me an explanation!"

As Bai Ye approached the crowd, an angry figure suddenly ran out and grabbed Bai Ye's clothes.

"that..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even Bai Ye felt a little embarrassed.

Bai Ye never expected that Professor Cecil would also be with this imposter.

He gestured to the teacher to be quiet and pointed to the crowd behind him who were still holding a funeral.

As if realizing something, Mr. Cecil quickly bowed and apologized to the people behind him.

However, judging from the fact that he didn't loosen his grip on Bai Ye's clothes when he bowed, it was clear that he didn't intend to let Bai Ye off so easily for skipping class.

"You come with me to help with the funeral. I'll give you a good talking-to after it's over!"

And so, Bai Ye was forcibly dragged into the team to help, and even Gureven, who came along with him, was no exception and was also conscripted.

"Um...you're called Bai Ye, right? Hello! I'm Avril!"

Once inside the crowd, to everyone's surprise, the imposter Avril Lavigne was the first to approach and strike up a conversation.

"I've heard Cecil complaining about you the whole way here, and I'm very curious about Bai Ye."

"Oh! What aspect of me are you curious about?"

Bai Ye found it very interesting, so he asked directly.

"Ah... this is it... something related to ghost stories!"

Unexpectedly, Bai Ye took advantage of his slightly polite conversation and started to take advantage of the situation.

The imposter Avril was caught off guard, but she still answered.

"Didn't I hear that Bai Ye had been involved in many strange tales at school?"

"I wonder if you've ever heard of the strange tale of the thirteenth stairway to heaven, Bai Ye?"

"The thirteenth step to heaven?"

Bai Ye vaguely remembered hearing this strange tale somewhere before.

"That's right!"

"The rumor is that a teacher once hanged himself on the thirteenth step for some unknown reason, and since then, anyone who stands on that step will be dragged to hell by the teacher's ghost!"

The imposter Avril spoke with great interest about the ghost stories she knew.

"Hell? What a boring rumor!"

"However, Avril seems quite interested in ghost stories."

Bai Ye continued to feign compliance with this imposter.

“That’s right! My grandfather is Viscount Willis, the famous adventurer! My dream is to follow in his footsteps and travel around exploring strange tales!”

"Oh, is it so?"

Bai Ye curled his lip, not expecting that this imposter would actually copy Avril's dream directly.

And Avril Lavigne, too, tells everything to strangers.

Thinking back to when she was first rescued, it seemed that she had simply told him that he would take her to find the golden fairy, and the girl followed him without a second thought, not even afraid that he would kidnap her and sell her.

Deeply worried about Avril's future, Bai Ye outwardly smiled and nodded to the imposter, indicating that the girl's dream was wonderful.

The imposter Avril didn't suspect anything and continued chatting with Bai Ye about ghost stories.

"You two, what are you chatting about? Hurry up and help!"

Just then, Mr. Cecil, who was carrying a wooden box, happened to pass by and was furious when he saw the two chatting.

He shoved the box he was holding into Bai Ye's hands, then angrily poked Bai Ye's back.

"Especially you, Bai Ye, you already have Victoria, so you're not allowed to be unfaithful!"

Bai Ye was speechless. Should I tell you that if I really didn't have a womanizing habit, Victorique wouldn't even be ranked sixth?

"never mind..."

They continued helping out, and soon it was time for the burial.
