You're Seriously Brave! / A Lone Light

No, we absolutely can't let her leave like this, or she'll be dead on the spot!

Having made up her mind, she suddenly rushed forward!

"Don't go! You're a great detective, you must know something! Tell me the truth!"

"Oh my god, what kind of beast is this? Don't kill me, I definitely won't inform on you!"

When Lin Bei saw the woman suddenly pounce on him like a madwoman, he turned green with fright and turned to run away. But when he turned around, he bumped into the door frame and almost broke his head!

He cried out in pain and scrambled away, but before he could call for help, he was suddenly dragged back to the office...

After locking the door again, Bai Tangyin turned her head and saw the pistol on his waist and the "Great Detective's" tearful appearance. She was speechless and utterly dumbfounded.

Aren't you supposed to be a cool and aloof detective?

Why are you suddenly so scared?

At this moment, Bai Tangyin suddenly felt that the mysterious and handsome image she had previously built up for him had completely collapsed!

What kind of sheep-monkey detective is this?

The handsome "Lin Bei" in front of the camera is clearly a cool and aloof god!

"Goddess... no, heroine! Spare me! I have elderly parents and young children to support, I can't die!"

"..."

Beside her, Bai Tangyin stared blankly as he cried and begged for mercy, completely speechless.

How can such a talent exist in this world?! (;?Д?)!

Beside her, Bai Tangyin stared blankly as he cried and begged for mercy, completely speechless.

How can such a talent exist in this world?! (;?Д?)!

But thinking about it, what should she do now? She's just a food delivery worker.

Thinking of the mysterious person who helped her, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The letter that came with the potion instructed her to secretly go to a tavern to find someone. Could it be that the magic master was going to save her?

After a moment's hesitation, she quietly said, "Stop crying. Find a way to get me out of here, and I promise I won't touch you."

"Really??"

"..."

[img=700,1057] Chapter 159 You are truly brave!

As dusk falls and the sun begins to set, the light gradually dims, and the colors of the sky begin to become complex and difficult to discern.

At the 'White Night Tavern', when there were no customers, Ling Mengxue was often pulled aside by her colleagues to chat, and time seemed to fly by.

During her leisure time, she noticed a detail: reality seemed to be just like in the movies. The bartender was constantly wiping glasses and practicing cutting drinks. Even though they were already very clean, was she meticulously refining the details?

After asking her, she learned that the bar wasn't very busy on weekdays. When there were no drinks to make, she could only wipe glasses, clean the bar counter, wipe bottles, practice cutting drinks, practice shaking, stir, and "train" new employees...

You can't exactly pull out your phone and play a round of "Greedy Red Moon," can you?

Many lipsticks on the market are waterproof now. If you don't wash them thoroughly, lipstick marks will remain on the rim of the cup, which would be embarrassing for your customers.

Furthermore, wiping the glasses regularly makes it easier to spot any small cracks or damage on the rim. If a customer is served drinks from a glass with a cracked rim, and they accidentally cut their lip while drinking, it would be considered a major incident for the bar.

Ling Mengxue arranged the cups in her hands, feeling as if she had gained a little more knowledge.

Fortunately, she also made a significant discovery by chance one afternoon.

Through a limited third-person perspective, she discovered that Zheng Yalan had spent the entire afternoon hiding in her office tinkering with something: bloodstained knives, bandages, condiments, and even a gun...

According to the information she obtained, ordinary people are not allowed to possess firearms in the Blue Country. How could a tavern owner have a gun?

How did you obtain it?

Is it possible that the 'Murder Demon' has been living across from the police station all along?

In the scene, Zheng Yalan puts the gun and knife into the safe and begins to organize the seasonings: salt, chili powder, salt and pepper powder, black pepper powder, five-spice powder, cumin powder, Sichuan peppercorn powder...

Are you planning to use all of this for cooking?

Recalling the pictures Xia Keke had sent her before, as well as the photos of the body at the crime scene, a tragic story gradually surfaced in Ling Mengxue's mind.

Zheng Yalan and the police chief know each other and have even made secret deals. Considering this, it's not surprising that Zheng Yalan has a gun. Is there a connection between them?

The Happy Town Police Station is in chaos. The case of the 'Murder Demon' was hastily closed, and there were even details that were intentionally concealed. No matter how you look at it, this police chief is somewhat problematic.

Moreover, since the police officer was selling firearms illegally, and he was a high-ranking official, a seven or eight-year sentence would be entirely possible.

The problem is, she currently has no evidence, so she can only leave it for now and wait for further investigation.

By 8 p. m., the number of customers had increased considerably, but due to the "Murder Demon's " prison break, the streets had returned to their usual quiet state. There were few pedestrians on the road, and many shops had closed. Looking around, only a few scattered shops remained open.

Just then, another woman, whose neck and face were completely covered, walked into the store.

Her unusual attire immediately attracted the attention of many people in the store. Two customers who saw her were also quite puzzled, but they still silently made way for her.

During this period, anyone could be that deranged killer. Although Happy Town is so big, and the tavern is located across from the police station, the probability is very low. But who can say for sure that the 'Murder Demon' is really that brazen?

Just then, Zheng Yalan came out of the room. Seeing this strange group of guests, she paused for a moment, then ignored it and turned to walk towards Ling Mengxue, a natural smile on her face, "Duskfall, the weather is nice tonight, how about we have a candlelight dinner together?"

Zheng Yalan smiled and squinted her eyes, but her gaze was dark and sinister, like a lurking venomous snake, sending chills down one's spine.

She had already made up her mind that if Ling Mengxue refused again, she wouldn't mind finding an excuse to have someone come to her office. However, at that time, something unpleasant might happen.

Unexpectedly, Ling Mengxue simply smiled and nodded, picking up a tray. "Okay, Sister Zheng, but could I please take care of those guests who just arrived? There's still plenty of time, isn't there?"

Zheng Yalan looked at her calmly. She had initially wanted someone else to entertain her, but after thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.

It's rare for this "Little Mei" to be so enlightened tonight, so let "her" be. Anyway, we're not short of time.

Carrying the drinks prepared by the bartender, Ling Mengxue didn't chat and went straight upstairs.

A candlelight dinner, you say?

Xing, she was also curious to see what this "candlelight dinner" tasted like.

Upon arriving on the second floor, Ling Mengxue immediately fixed her gaze on the masked woman.

Within a certain range, she could use her special ability to see through anything, so she recognized the innocent delivery girl as soon as she entered the room.

Being a delivery driver in this area is truly a high-risk job.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she quickly carried the tray over.

When Bai Tangyin saw her, she clearly recognized that the food delivery she had made that night, which had resulted in her misfortune, was for this handsome young man.

But now that he's being treated Murder Demon, and his face might even have been exposed, he'd definitely be terrified if "he" found out about him.

Thinking this way, she appeared calm and composed, as if she were just a customer who had come to the bar to enjoy a drink.

After placing the drinks on the table, Ke Ling Mengxue showed no intention of leaving. Instead, she sat down opposite her.

"Hello, miss, we meet again. I'm so glad you could come. Could you tell me about what happened that night? Maybe I can help you."

Bai Tangyin was still puzzled, but when she heard these words, she was immediately stunned.

She opened her mouth, unable to speak for a long time. Her lips trembled, and she hesitated, completely dumbfounded. Her heart was pounding like a rattle-drum.

After a long while, she managed to calm herself down and asked uncertainly, "Little brother, are you that mysterious 'Magical Boys'? And... do you already know who I am??"

Seeing Ling Mengxue nod, Bai Tangyin was also deeply shocked.

My takeout order for that evening was actually delivered to a "Magical Boys"?!

Shock!

Shocking!

Oh my god!

"I'm sorry that you got involved in this accident because of me, but don't worry, I can clear your name. But before that, I need your help to bring the culprit to justice." Ling Mengxue didn't care about her stunned look and just spoke patiently.

It wouldn't be a big problem if someone knew about the existence of magic. Just like in their original world, if someone dared to mention Magical Girls to her, they would probably be met with disdain, right?

Magic?

Even ghosts wouldn't believe that, do you??

Magical Boys?

No, she only looks like a "Magical Boys"; she's actually a Magical Girls. Although she used Illusory Realm to transform into a boy, only she knows that it's all just an illusion.

She was still wearing a skirt, and if it weren't for the extra leggings, she would probably be quite "cool" in Happy Town, which was already in late autumn. However, since the passive skill of Destiny Sign comes with 'Dustless Domain', it doesn't really matter what she wears.

Sitting opposite her, Bai Tangyin seemed not to have heard what she said, still looking at her with a face full of amazement, from head to toe, she was perfect in every way, pure and beautiful~ no wonder she is a "Magical Boys"!

If Ling Mengxue knew what she was thinking, she probably wouldn't be so calm.

If we were in the original world, calling her a great beauty wouldn't be an exaggeration. It's just a matter of switching the male and female perspectives; girls like handsome boys. But now is not the time to think about such things!

"Did you hear me? The boss is still waiting for me. I'll send someone to find you later." Ling Mengxue rubbed her forehead, feeling that talking to this woman was quite exhausting.

Fortunately, Bai Tangyin reacted in time, smiled awkwardly, and recounted her experience of being captured and her actions in driving away the Murder Demon.

After hearing this explanation, even Ling Mengxue was shocked and couldn't help but want to give her a thumbs up.

You're really brave!

If an ordinary person encountered that kind of psychopath, they'd probably turn and run, right?

[img=700,1092]htt Two thousand five hundred~☆ Ah, almost gone...

Chapter 160 A Lamp Shines Alone

After spending some time discussing with Bai Tangyin, Ling Mengxue returned to the front desk of the tavern.

The most suspicious person right now is 'Zheng Yalan'.

In the darkness, the Murder Demon moved stealthily, never leaving any trace at the crime scene. Even when he was occasionally caught on camera, it was only a blurry figure, indistinguishable between male and female, let alone what he looked like.

The perfect crime isn't as elaborate as depicted in TV dramas and novels; on the contrary, they're mostly quite ordinary.

Many stories have attempted this theme, but a truly perfect crime cannot provide a happy ending. Therefore, in most cases, an "imperfect crime" is used, in which the truth is eventually revealed.

However, the concept of the "perfect crime" exists only in theory. In real life, all sorts of unexpected situations arise. Even a space mission involving tens of thousands of people working with computers can fail, let alone the calculations of one person... The best approach is simply not to commit a crime.

But anything is possible; who knows, there might actually be such a talent?

As long as you take action, even the smallest clues will remain. It's just that people sometimes don't even think about it and selectively ignore them.

Besides, times have changed. If a powerful Magical Girls could become invisible through the void and leave behind an unsolved mystery, it seems like that would be a piece of cake, right?

"Hehe, little brother Duskfall, is that alright now? You can ride in my private car. I heard there's a new luxury restaurant that just opened in town, so let's go there." Zheng Yalan held a glass of strong liquor in her hand, leaned against the bar, and turned to smile at the newcomer.

Ling Mengxue nodded, hesitant to speak, feeling speechless, frustrated, and helpless.

But it was all for the mission, and she vowed that she would "absolutely" never come to a place like this again.

They went outside and saw a black 'Crazy' car parked there. There was no one in the driver's seat, so it was clear that it was just the two of them on this trip.

"Come on, little Duskfall, get in the car. I promise you'll have an unforgettable night." Zheng Yalan opened the car door and turned back to greet her with a smile.

Ling Mengxue paused, her eyes flickering.

What happened?

This looks a bit like the abduction of underage girls... I mean, boys?

Without much thought, I got into the car, which quickly started moving, making more than a dozen turns. About fifteen minutes later, the car slowly came to a stop beside a dark street.

Coincidentally, the streetlights nearby were all broken, making the atmosphere quite eerie.

On the entire street, only one restaurant across the intersection had its lights on, but it was completely empty, making it look particularly desolate.

Those with a better imagination are already automatically conceiving a thriller/suspense blockbuster in their minds.
