Chapter 005: Extraordinary Memory

"Eh?" Luo Dai adjusted his black-framed glasses and said, "A smile like smoke and clouds?"

Among the more than thirty popular large-scale online games currently available, there is a player known as Yi Xiao Yan Yun in Gui Yin Shan Chuan ONLINE, though it is uncertain whether this is merely a coincidence. While Su Shi was explaining the case, he did not look at Luo Dai, instead staring straight at the white wall opposite him, and said bluntly, "Our investigation has revealed that he belongs to the same guild as you, and that guild is quite difficult for newcomers to join. Therefore, we hope you can find a way to get close to this player and probe whether he has any connection to the nine suicide incidents."

There are none. Xue Chunchai pointed at Su Shi, implying that he was too lazy to speak and asked the omnipotent ice-cold beauty assistant to explain. Su Shi shot him a glare, his eyes fierce, yet he spoke, "Three of the nine deceased died from an overdose of sleeping pills, one from a severed carotid artery, two from ingesting cleaning agents, and three used different methods to hang themselves. Although the causes of death vary, the online games on the table are still running. Upon checking everything on their computers, it was found that seven out of these nine individuals had game screenshots on their computers. Although the games played were different, all of their game screenshots featured a player named 'Yi Xiao Yan Yun'"

I have seen this guy before," Luo Dai raised his hand, as he was always quite astute regarding such important matters, "I encountered this guy in the game six months ago.

"Do you suspect that this guy might have turned into a ghostly figure and infiltrated someone else's home to commit the murder of nine people?" Luo Lai laughed, "You can't really think of yourselves as ghost hunters, can you? How could such a thing possibly happen..."

"What kind of guy?" Luo Dai closed his eyes. His memory was excellent. When he wanted to apply to medical school back in the day, his academic performance was poor, but with a beast-like memory, his grades soared rapidly. It is generally unlikely for a person to recall a scene they unintentionally witnessed half a year ago, but Luo Dai might be different. After pondering for a moment, he mumbled, "White..."

The forensic report, the police report, the application for neighborhood visits, the request for nighttime collaboration, and the现场照片. Xiao Ju continued to speak expressionlessly, "Everything is organized, you can take a look yourself. If you don't understand anything, ask this one—" She pointed to Su Shi, who was sitting next to her with his mouth tightly closed, not saying a word or even looking this way, "Ask Su Xiaoyao, he understands everything."

No, we suspect that the cause of death of these nine individuals is not straightforward; there may be a possibility of being lured into suicide, as well as the possibility of murder. Su Shi continued to stare intently at the wall, as if the wall were speaking to him, "Or perhaps there exists some connection among these nine individuals that we are unaware of, which is also possible"

"What is white?" Xue Chunchai asked. "What is white?"

The equipment is white..." Luo Dai came to his senses, "He wields dual swords, which are the only level of weapons in the game, meaning there is only one pair of these Holy Light weapons across the entire server. I do not know Yi Xiao Yan Yun, but since he can obtain Holy Light weapons, it indicates that either he is a blacksmith himself, or he has friends who are blacksmiths, or he has connections with a power-leveling studio.

I just want to know why you are looking for me—could it be because of the game 'Retreat to the Mountains and Rivers'? Is this game related to your supernatural events?" Luo Rai raised an eyebrow, "I have heard rumors that this game is not on your list of suicide cases in the escape room."

Xue Chunchai's eyes lit up, "Have you seen him? What kind of person is he?"
