I traveled through time and space as a villain and became her heart-stealer.

People come and go, everyone is busy with their own lives.

Who cares whether you live or die?

Gu Qinghan turned his head and looked across the street, his eyes sweeping over the passers-by.

Suddenly, a few figures seemed out of place in the surroundings, which made his eyes sharpen.

There was a team of inspectors there, new recruits who were patrolling Dieter Street today.

No Katharina exists.

You can find out.

Gu Qinghan's eyes flashed sharply and he walked over.

The wind is howling.

Passing through the noisy streets, the hawking sounds from the busy market seemed to be automatically blocked out, and the only person left in his eyes was his target.

"Hello, Mr. Inspector."

The moment he opened his mouth, the wind stopped.

The other party was a black-haired boy, about 1.7 meters tall, estimated to be sixteen or seventeen years old, a complete young man who had just started out.

At this time, he was playing with the black round hat in his hand leisurely.

Gu Qinghan put on a kind expression and said with a smile:

"Mr. Inspector, I am a resident living nearby, and I have some questions I would like to ask you."

The young man couldn't help but frown and looked at Gu Qinghan with a puzzled look as he put on the black round hat.

“Please keep your explanation as concise as possible.”

Gu Qinghan smiled faintly and nodded, then lowered his voice and asked:

"Has anything happened recently? Why does it seem like the inspector's patrols have become more frequent?"

This sentence may seem ordinary, but it actually helps to build closer relationships by talking about the other person's areas of expertise.

Sure enough, the black-haired boy's eyes narrowed, and then he smiled.

"I didn't expect that the residents of Beloved City would observe the work of our inspectors so carefully."

He looked Gu Qinghan up and down, as if he was examining a prisoner, with a curious look.

"Please rest assured, Inspector. I am a resident of Beloved City."

Gu Qinghan smiled faintly, then took out a gold coin from his pocket and secretly put it into the black-haired boy's hand.

The black-haired boy was stunned at first, then nodded with satisfaction.

"My dear fellow citizen, you are right."

As he spoke, the black-haired boy skillfully put the gold coins into his pocket, and then spoke with a kind expression:

"The border wall was recently destroyed by the Empire of Joy, causing many potential enemies to sneak across the border, which had a terrible impact."

"But my dear fellow citizen, you are wrong about one thing."

“Recently, patrols have not increased, but decreased.”

Gu Qinghan couldn't help but frown. He vaguely felt that he had grasped the key point.

"Less? But I clearly——"

"That was the strategy until yesterday."

The black-haired boy leaned over, as if afraid of being heard by the people around him, and whispered into Gu Qinghan's ear:

"Starting this morning, the number of patrols by the monitoring detachment will be reduced by half."

Gu Qinghan looked puzzled.

"Why is this happening? This is clearly the most critical moment."

The black-haired boy revealed a meaningful smile, his eyes unable to conceal his pride as he continued:

"It is precisely because this is the most critical moment that we have to do this."

The confusion on Gu Qinghan's face became more obvious.

The black-haired boy raised his lips, and seeing that Gu Qinghan didn't seem to understand, a hint of pride flashed across his face as he said:

"I'll give you an analogy, and you'll understand immediately."

Gu Qinghan nodded slightly, waiting for the black-haired boy's follow-up answer.

"Let's say you're a hunter and you're hunting an animal. When your prey is cornered, do you continue to attack?"

Gu Qinghan looked at the smiling face of the black-haired boy and fell into deep thought.

After a long thought, Gu Qinghan slowly opened his mouth and gave his answer:

"will not."

"why?"

"Because animals that are cornered can be very dangerous."

"That's right. So the more critical the moment, the more you should not push them too hard."

The black-haired boy nodded slightly, a look of praise appeared on his face, and then continued:

"Instead of pressing it step by step, we should deliberately leave a path for it to walk towards the 'life path'. Is that right?"

There was a gleam in Gu Qinghan's eyes, and he vaguely understood the meaning of the black-haired boy's words.

At this time, the black-haired boy smiled and continued:

"When prey thinks they have found a way out and flees in panic, that is when they are most likely to be careless."

"If you are a mature hunter, you should choose to shoot at this time."

“So that’s also our strategy.”

Gu Qinghan stood there in a daze, watching the black-haired boy in front of him waving his hand casually, and a storm of emotions surged in his heart.

The other person is only 16 or 17 years old, but he can have such thoughts.

The Kingdom Supervision Team was more troublesome than he thought.

Need to be vigilant.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghan’s eyes began to darken.

"Mr. Inspector, can I understand that the real murderer is about to be caught?"

Gu Qinghan looked sharp as he spoke slowly towards the young man's back.

The black-haired boy was about to turn around and leave, but he paused after hearing Gu Qinghan's words.

Slowly turning around, he looked at Gu Qinghan with a bit more surprise in his eyes.

"You're very perceptive."

He squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Qinghan with an eagle's gaze.

After a few seconds of silence, the black-haired boy shook his head again, a sly smile on his lips.

"Ditter Street, number 38."

"We are very close to the real culprit, and we are just waiting for him to reveal his true identity."

"I hope you are not the prisoner we are trying to arrest, citizen."

With a meaningful smile, the black-haired boy put on his police hat gracefully, leaving behind a mysterious back.

Gu Qinghan stared at the back of the black-haired boy and stood there in a daze.

I forced myself to suppress the churning of stomach acid, swallowed the acid, and felt my scalp tingling.

Chapter 49 (Update!) The Final Game

38, Dieterstrasse.

This is exactly the residential building where Gu Qinghan’s house is located.

What exactly went wrong?

Gu Qinghan walked on the street with a grim look on his face.

The sky above the City of Love was covered with rolling dark clouds, and the humid air made people feel stuffy in their chests and a sense of suffocation.

It was as if someone was thrown into the sea and their head was forced under the surface, making it difficult to breathe.

Gu Qinghan felt a black screen in front of his eyes. He held on to the rough wall with his right hand and barely walked. His legs felt heavy.

Occasionally, passers-by on the street would see his distorted expression at this moment.

Those people acted as if they saw a ghost and took a detour to get away from it.

"No, I can't expose myself..."

Gu Qinghan covered his face with one hand, sweating all over, to avoid his distorted expression being noticed by the enthusiastic citizens.

In fact, he has been forced into a desperate situation.

The Kingdom's Supervisory Detachment suspected him and even sent out a large number of supervisory detachments to set up a huge trap.

I'm afraid it's too late to escape now.

Katerina was the captain in charge of overseeing the Dieter Street. According to her style, all roads out of the City of Love must have been blocked.

Catching turtles in an urn.

The target is directly aimed at "Hohenheim".

But why?

Catalina still doubted him.

Gu Qinghan couldn't understand.

When was the border wall breached?

a week ago.

Catalina understood better than anyone that the murderer could not be Gu Qinghan.

Because he had moved into the house before the border wall was destroyed.

It is impossible for the prisoners to come to live in the City of Love before destroying the border wall.

However, Catalina still regards him as the prime suspect.

Gu Qinghan felt something dark in front of his eyes.

From the beginning, Katerina seemed to be targeting him.

Why did this happen? Gu Qinghan began to reflect on what had happened in the past two weeks.

On the first day, he was caught by Catalina while hypnotizing Lianna.

In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, he lied that he was a otaku who liked erotic novels and got through safely.

The second time, I went out on a date with Lianna.

It was also at that time that Catalina began to secretly follow him and was warned not to attack the girl.

However, there is no conclusive evidence.

The third time, he was invited to Richard's house to drink and secretly meet with Lianna.

The next day, Catalina came to Gu Qinghan's house and warned him about the destruction of the border wall.
