Shocking! Shocking! Still shocking!
Su Muwan stood in place, utterly bewildered.
Why say "three faces"?
Because two men in black were also dumbfounded.
They exchanged glances.
The criminal... wasn't us after all?
The air gradually grew quiet.
The initial witness nervously raised her hand and stammered, "I... I remember now!"
"Before this person, there was a couple who entered the photo booth!"
"They acted strangely, inspecting every item on the shelves as soon as they entered the store, and bought one of each!"
"No normal person would buy one of everything!"
"It... it must be them!"
Wait! Can't we just buy merchandise if we have the money and like it?!
Su Muwan trembled with anger, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
Kudo Ran pointed at Su Muwan confidently, "Miss Su from Jiang City suddenly visiting Cherry Blossom City... surely not just for fun, right?"
Su Muwan was stunned, retorting, "But I really just came here for fun."
How is it that people recognize me even in a place like this?
"Let me break down your actions."
Hey... listen to what I’m saying!
"You pretended to be a tourist entering the photo booth, but in reality, you planted the Nightmare Powder there."
...So why are you analyzing this on your own...
"Then..."
Kudo Ran held up the phone given to him by the commander.
It displayed a threatening message and a transaction time.
"Using the pre-set threatening text, you lured this person to the photo booth to retrieve the Nightmare Powder, which you planned to deliver to another buyer."
"But unexpectedly, he panicked and spilled the powder, leading to an overdose and his death."
At this point, Kudo Ran withdrew his hand, his expression as if everything was under his control: "This was all part of your plan, wasn't it, Su Muwan?!"
"After causing chaos in Jiang City, you dare come here now!"
"Do you want to destroy Cherry Blossom City too?!"
No!
How can you deduce things like this?
Who knew I’d run into something like this as soon as I arrived?!
Even law enforcement wouldn’t believe you based on just a few words!
"As expected of Kudo, the case is closed."
They actually believed it!
No! How is it closed?!
Are you all this casual?!
A detective says a few words and the case is solved??
Do you think this is an episode of Detective Conan or something?!
Su Muwan's face twisted in shock.
Can anyone understand this? Why am I getting arrested as soon as I arrive?! What kind of joke is this?!
And is this how you solve cases around here?!
Clap clap clap clap!!
The crowd applauded, "As expected of Kudo Ran, what a thrilling deduction."
A JK girl blushed and gazed at Kudo Ran, "So cool..."
Su Muwan: ??
Am I the one who’s not normal, or are these people not normal, or...
Slap!
Su Muwan covered her face.
I’m so stupid, really, I already knew this in my past life...
This world!! It’s a world full of lunatics!
"Qin Luo."
Su Muwan rubbed her temples in frustration, patting Qin Luo weakly, "You handle this."
"I can’t be bothered to explain."
Qin Luo, who had been watching with great interest, thought to himself, as expected of the ultimate villain.
Wherever she goes, she’s always met with a smooth combo right off the bat.
"Oh?"
"Qin Luo?"
Kudo Ran, of course, knew Qin Luo. Or rather, in this fast-paced information age, he naturally knew Qin Luo was Su Muwan's right-hand man.
He sneered, "Don’t think you’re off the hook either."
"Let me guess."
Kudo Ran pointed at Qin Luo and Su Muwan, "You must still have traces of Nightmare Powder on you, which..."
"Enough."
Slap!!!
Before he could finish.
Qin Luo raised his hand and delivered a swift backhand slap.
Thud!
Kudo Ran fell to the ground, clutching his face, his expression twisted.
Everyone gasped in unison.
Their eyes widened in shock.
So fast!
Kudo Ran slowly regained his senses, the pain in his cheek making it clear.
What...
I... got slapped?
An indescribable rage surged through Kudo Ran.
He clutched his face, looked up, and glared furiously at Qin Luo... and then at Su Muwan behind him, "Su Muwan!!! How dare you have your lackey hit me!!"
"Do you know this is a crime?! Do you know assaulting a detective in Cherry Blossom City is..."
Slap!!
"Ugh—!"
Before he could finish.
Qin Luo slapped him again, looking down at Kudo Ran, who was now on the ground, clutching his face in disbelief, and mocked, "What are you babbling about?"
"These are Cherry Blossom City’s rules. What does that have to do with us from Jiang City?"
Kudo Ran: ??
Then, Qin Luo turned to the stunned law enforcement officers, took out a badge from his pocket, and opened it.
He said calmly to the on-site commander, "From now on, this area is under the jurisdiction of the Alliance Branch Chief."
"Any objections?"
Alliance Branch Chief?!!
The commander paled, swallowing hard as he looked at the badge.
[Jiang City Alliance Branch · Chief · Qin Luo]
Gasp!
He’s the Alliance Chief from the neighboring city?!
According to Alliance law, the chief of any city’s Alliance branch has cross-regional jurisdiction.
In other words.
Right now... Qin Luo is in charge here.
Su Muwan tilted her head, blinking in realization.
Oh, right, I have that status too!
I’ve been slacking off for so long, I almost forgot...
But...
"But... Chief..."
The commander forced a smile, "Kudo Ran is a detective with a 100% solve rate in this area. His deductions have never been wrong."
"Don’t you think..."
Slap!
"Ugh—!"
Before he could finish.
Qin Luo slapped him again, looking coldly at the trembling commander, "Enough with the nonsense. I don’t care about your 100% solve rate."
"Now, immediately, without delay!"
He put away his badge, glancing sideways at Kudo Ran, who was still on the ground, clutching his face in shock, and ordered, "Arrest him on charges of colluding with illegal drug dealers!"
"Because the real criminal almost escaped thanks to this idiot’s cover-up!"
Buzz—!
The moment these words were spoken.
Before Kudo Ran could even process the slap, the commander looked at him in disbelief. Though he wanted to express more shock, the sight of Qin Luo’s merciless slapping made him immediately order his subordinates to tie up Kudo Ran and toss him aside.
"You! You can’t do this to me! My deductions aren’t wrong!"
Kudo Ran, tied up and thrown aside, roared.
"I didn’t... mmph!!"
The commander wiped his sweat, turning to Qin Luo with a flattering smile, "We’ve gagged him, Chief."
Hey! How did you switch sides so fast?!
Su Muwan was speechless.
Can’t you guys have some principles?!
