After waking up, Su He continued to search for information on his phone, forums, campus networks, short video platforms, and anywhere else where people were discussing the case. He would click into all of them to take a look.
When he got tired, he would go back to sleep. After all, he still couldn't be discharged from the hospital yet, so he thought of it as playing a detective game.
The next day at noon, Liu Wen came again with food.
Seeing Su He deliberately taking notes to collect information, Liu Wen chuckled, "It seems what I said yesterday when I left has motivated you greatly."
"I just don't want the murderer to escape justice and threaten the safety of the people. As for me, that reward money is secondary," Su He said.
"Alright, stop with that hypocritical attitude. You're clearly after that 200,000 yuan reward. But let me remind you, if you discover any clues, you must report them to the police first. Don't take independent action!" Seeing Su He's self-righteous look, Liu Wen reminded him seriously.
"Hehe... Officer Liu, why don't we share resources? When we catch the suspect, we'll split the reward 50-50," Su He said. He could get out of bed now, so he took the initiative to set up the table and took the food from Liu Wen's hands.
"Dream on. Eat your food first. If you have nothing to do, you can go out and get some sun instead of staying in bed playing on your phone..." Liu Wen rolled her eyes at Su He. A delivery guy splitting rewards with the police? Only he could come up with that.
Su He started eating. Liu Wen picked up his notebook and read it. "Su He, your handwriting is so illegible!"
"Hehe... Officer Liu, since you read my information, you should share some police intel with me too!" Su He said, looking up with a grin.
"The police already knows all this stuff you wrote. Who cares to read it? Moreover, can we just casually disclose police investigative information to you? That would be against regulations. Stop messing around and eat your food!" Liu Wen tossed his notebook back. The information in it was useless.
"Should've just slept... at least I could've gotten a new pillow..." Su He mumbled to himself.
Liu Wen looked at him. "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."
"Nothing. I said today's food is really tasty..."
Seeing Su He's dejected look, Liu Wen felt both amused and annoyed. She couldn't help asking curiously, "Su He, why are you so obsessed with catching this suspect? Are you that short on money?"
After all, Su He had just gotten 50,000 yuan in reward money for his heroic deeds.
"It's for the sake of justice!" Su He looked up with a fiery gaze at Liu Wen, then revealed an embarrassed smile, "And to earn a bit of money on the side."
"Su He, next time don't do a 180 turnaround. You looked quite cool just now, but now you've become a petty money-grubber..."
Liu Wen thought for a moment, then made a call outside to Wen Jie.
"Captain Wen, Su He is also investigating clues about the suspect, but his are all from online sources. He wants to share information with the police..."
When Wen Jie heard this news, he was also surprised. But having it happen to Su He also felt kind of off. In the case of the slain female anchor, Su He clearly had no relation whatsoever, yet he had to stick his nose into it, concealing important information. And now, what was he up to again?
To be honest, Wen Jie now really wanted to take Su He to the interrogation room for a good questioning, to see if he was hiding any other important clues.
"Alright, noted. Keep an eye on him, I'm coming over now." Wen Jie thought for a moment, then decided to first meet Su He at the hospital. After all, Su He was currently injured, and there was no evidence to indicate he had issues.
After lunch, Su He was surprised to see Liu Wen had not left. "Officer Liu, don't you have work this afternoon?"
"I'm currently working," Liu Wen replied. Just then, Wen Jie came in with Yang Lin.
Liu Wen went forward to take Su He's notebook and handed it to Wen Jie. "Captain Wen, I'll head back first then."
After Liu Wen left, Wen Jie first flipped through Su He's notes about Zhao Xin and Tian Xiaojuan, before slowly sitting down on a chair and calmly looking at Su He. "Still can't remember anything? It'd be a pity if you can't recall it. After all, the police has offered a 200,000 yuan reward..."
Su He grinned. "Officer Wen, look at what you're saying. How could I deliberately conceal clues for a 200,000 yuan reward? I told you all I know. I was just bored with nothing to do and randomly jotted things down."
Officer Wen held up the notebook sternly. "This is not random scribbling. Your current behavior has already severely disrupted our investigation. Believe me or not when I say I'll take you to the interrogation room for thorough questioning?!"
"Ow ow ow... My head hurts, Officer Wen, quick, call the doctor..." Su He's face turned pale as he frowned in pain and shouted loudly.
Officer Yang was just about to go out and call the doctor but was pulled back by Officer Wen. Looking at Su He sitting on the bed, he smiled faintly. "The kid is just putting on an act. Not honest at all."
After waiting two minutes without any movement, Su He opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. "Ah, much better. I need peaceful rest for this minor concussion. Using my brain hurts like hell... Officer Wen, what were you saying just now? I suddenly forgot again..."
"Su He, stop playing tricks. If you keep this up, I'll handcuff you directly!" Officer Yang glared furiously at Su He. All evidence indicated he was unrelated to the case, yet he kept wanting to crack it. What was a delivery guy doing poking his nose into police affairs?!
Officer Wen stared at Su He for a long time before speaking. "What intelligence do you want to know?"
"I want to know everything, if possible." Su He also suddenly became serious. He had nothing to fear as he was unrelated to the case and wouldn't be held accountable afterward. If he could catch the culprit, it would be a fortune. He had nothing to lose for Shen Yue's sake!
"Can you get out of bed?" Officer Wen asked with a smile.
Su He also smiled. "I can."
"Then come with me for a bit. The interrogation room..."
"Can we go somewhere else? That place is too oppressive. I'm scared..."
"No discussion. Until we catch the suspect, you'll be staying at the police station!"
Su He sighed. He got out of bed, changed his clothes, and walked to the door before suddenly asking, "Officer Wen, if I find clues at the police station, does the 200,000 yuan reward still stand?"
"As long as we can catch the suspect, I'll personally hand that 200,000 yuan over to you!"
Another policeman at the door first led Su He away. Yang Lin couldn't help asking, "Master, Su He is just a delivery guy. Do you really think he's some detective? Last time he just blindly stumbled on the murderer's clothing..."
Wen Jie stared at Su He's departing figure and inexplicably said, "In less than half a month, three cases―the slain female anchor, the runaway killer cab in the city center, the female corpse in the parking garage, he's been involved in them all. You call that blind luck, although I don't see any connection. But something feels off..."
"Master, the way you put it, Su He is super unlucky to have run into the Mysteries of Science column. Probably another unsolved mystery..."
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
