867: This is not good
As soon as this thought appeared, Mo De shook it off.
Although the System said his intelligence was limited, it didn't mean he was stupid.
He was very sure that if he walked into the Meatpacking Plant, he would most likely become a piece of meat within it!
Was there absolutely no way?
Mo De looked at the dead chicken next to him, and suddenly noticed the package on the passenger seat.
This was the thing the guy he chased in the Redwood Forest had thrown down.
If it wasn't because he shot and made the other party feel threatened for their life, this heavy thing probably wouldn't have been thrown down by him.
What exactly was this?
It looked like it was very important.
His attention came to the package, Mo De turned on the light inside the car, and then dragged the wet package in front of him.
The package was already soaked from the heavy rain.
The things inside also seemed to have absorbed a lot of water, and he could feel the heavier weight within.
Squeak~
Without any sense of ceremony, Mo De just opened the package directly.
After seeing clearly what was inside, his entire person was stunned.
This was...
Money?!
What met his eyes was this large pile of things, all money, money filling the package!
No wonder that guy was holding such a large package during a life-and-death crisis; if it was all money, it made sense.
Redwood Forest, mysterious person, money, what was the connection between these?
As soon as this doubt arose in Mo De's heart, the money in front of him, one bill after another, was all stained by a patch of black!
Like patches of mold spreading rapidly!
In a short while, all the money in the entire package was enveloped in pitch black!
"These... are key physical evidence for the case?"
Mo De knew that the pitch black covering the banknotes was a new function the System had given him after updating.
The dismemberment case also involved so much money?
In an instant, the information he had collected today leaped before his eyes.
Because of the brawl, Bosen compensated one thousand US dollars as Old Tang Na's medical expenses!
Not long after, he also proposed to emigrate and could afford the twenty thousand US dollars required for the emigration certificate processing fee!
"When Bosen heard my refusal at the time, he actually said he had plenty of money, and as long as I went with him, he could definitely make me a rich lady."
"This guy used to look quite honest, I didn't expect that one day he would say such an absurd lie."
Mara's testimony reappeared in his ears.
All this information pointed to one key point: Bosen had money, he really had money!
The reason why the money in his hand could be evidence was certainly because it belonged to Bosen!
Thinking this through, Mo De found that the entire case suddenly leaped forward by a stage at this moment.
Bosen was not killed out of revenge, but because he had money?!
He rummaged through the package for a while.
Mo De wanted to see if there were any other items.
Before long, he really found some other things.
A train ticket.
And a badge that could be pinned to the chest.
"Town Meat Supplier."
Looking at the badge in his hand, Mo De's gaze focused.
At the same time, the familiar pitch-black writing leaped before his eyes!
[Congratulations, you have found another key item.
Now supplementing you with three rules from Creepy Tale Rule Group C: 6, 7, and 8.]
[6.
Town Meat Supplier, this badge is a symbol of identity.
By wearing it, you can enter the Meatpacking Plant without danger to purchase fresh meat products for the Town.]
[7.
Hong Lei's daughter is still waiting for your gift, be sure to prepare something that will satisfy your family.]
[8.
After sleeping in the guest room for two consecutive days organizing the case, you should return to the master bedroom tonight to accompany Lin Yue's wife.
Be sure not to neglect her.]
Three supplementary rule information.
This undoubtedly gave Mo De some direction.
"Wearing this thing, you gain the identity of a meat supplier?"
Mo De's thoughts were filled with some doubts and considerations.
He reached out and picked up the train ticket next to him.
This was a ticket from their Town to Lunce City.
The ticket purchaser's information was Bosen.
The departure location was at Town Station No. 2, that station was next to the railway tunnel behind the Redwood Forest, it was usually very desolate, and basically no one went there.
What Mo De paid close attention to was the departure time.
July 15th
23:30
This boarding time was precisely the time Bosen was murdered!
And this time happened to coincide with the period when the vegetable market lost its meat supply!
Since all this money was related to him, the badge must also be Bosen's.
Combined with the fact that the Town lost its meat supplier after his death, it could be confirmed that Bosen was the Town's meat supplier!
Similarly, what could be confirmed was that this badge in his hand was real!
Thinking this through, Mo De's heart settled slightly.
If there were no surprises, among the Creepy Tale rules that just popped up, Rule 6 was basically correct!
As long as he wore this badge, he would have the identity of the Town Meat Supplier.
This might also be his only chance to break the situation, enter the Meatpacking Plant, and obtain quarantined meat!
While his thoughts raced, Mo De didn't hesitate and directly put on the badge.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Meatpacking Plant again.
That thin and strange A Man holding a knife was still watching him fixedly with a chilling smile!
"I'm here to pick up goods."
Mo De's mindset calmed down, and he looked at the guy in front of him with a calm expression.
"Pick up goods?
Then come in, do you expect us to go out?"
The A Man at the door extended the hand holding the sharp knife, signaling him to enter.
Judging from the other party's posture, Mo De understood that this guy couldn't leave this Meatpacking Plant.
This seemed to be the rule restricting them.
And if he wanted to trade, he had to enter it; there was no other way!
Looking at the other party's strange expression, a fine layer of sweat appeared on Mo De's forehead.
Although he could roughly judge that he wouldn't be in danger, it was only a rough judgment after all.
If possible, he would definitely consume one of the System's lie detection opportunities to help him judge the authenticity of Creepy Tale Rule Group C Rule 6 with 100% certainty.
Unfortunately, he didn't have any accumulated lie detection opportunities at the moment.
At the same time, he also had no other choice.
Within the limited time, he had to make the choice of entering the Meatpacking Plant.
Otherwise, if he didn't return home too late, his family would make a fatal decision for him!
Step~
As water flowed down his pants legs soaked by the rain, Mo De had already stepped inside, leaving behind a footprint formed by a water stain inside.
At this moment, Mo De looked at the A Man next to him, almost holding his breath.
He had actually prepared for the worst.
If the guy next to him really suddenly became violent, at most he would only lose a leg now.
In this frozen state, Mo De found that the A Man next to him still didn't make any movement, just quietly watching him, waiting for him.
This scene made him let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.
"You haven't been here for so many days, I thought you quit."
When Mo De completely stepped into the Meatpacking Plant, the A Man's expression next to him suddenly changed from stiff and rigid to that of a normal person.
In his voice, there was even a hint of indescribable friendliness.
"How much meat are you getting this time?"
The thin A Man opened his mouth to ask.
That posture was clearly like facing a purchasing agent friend!
Hearing this, Mo De took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket: "Let's get the amount for this money first."
This stack of banknotes was taken out by Mo De from that package.
There was no other way, after he bought that jar of wine, he had almost no money left on him, so he could only use this money which could serve as physical evidence.
"So much?"
The A Man put the sharp knife in his hand onto the chopping board next to him, and then took the money.
After counting, he turned his head and asked: "Giving so much money, are you here to get human meat this time?"
Hearing this, Mo De's expression stiffened.
Human meat?
He slightly raised his head to look at the Meatpacking Plant in front of him.
Only at this moment, standing at the entrance, could he roughly see the situation inside.
Large hooks hung up Fei Zhu that had been gutted and opened, and further back, there were cats, dogs, cattle, and sheep.
And in the area further back.
Those pieces of meat that were already unclear, as he gazed, vaguely and clearly appeared in human form!
"No need, buying pork will do."
Mo De maintained the calmness of his voice and replied like this.
The subsequent operation was also nothing special.
After Mo De confirmed the meat, several dissected and quarantined pork were placed at his feet.
When he came back to his senses again.
He was in the dimly lit, empty vegetable market.
And the meat at his feet was all placed on the cutting boards in the meat section.
Looking at the badge on his chest, Mo De felt slightly fortunate.
He had truly replaced the supplier's work once, bringing a significant amount of meat to everyone.
He also didn't expect.
While he was racking his brains to organize the dismemberment case of Bosen, there were already hundreds or even thousands of people who had been dissected, dismembered, and chopped up inside the Meatpacking Plant!
It was better not to come into contact with these strange entities if possible.
Looking at a knife next to him, Mo De reached out and took it, then looked at the pork on the cutting board.
As he was about to cut off the pork with the knife in his hand, he suddenly noticed that the knife in his hand was being covered and permeated by patches of pitch black!
The extremely dark color, almost merging with The Black Night, made the dim light extraordinarily gloomy and dark!
"This is?!
A warning from a new System function?"
His attention came to the knife in his hand, which he had casually picked up from the chopping board, and Mo De's breathing trembled.
Bone Chopping Knife!
After these pieces of physical evidence appeared, Mo De actually had a rough understanding of the colors stained by the System's function.
The blacker the color, the more closely this evidence was linked to the case!
Just like this Bone Chopping Knife in his hand.
This could only be the knife that killed and dismembered Bosen to have this color!
This was the murder weapon, the murder weapon for killing and dismembering!
But how could it appear in the vegetable market?!
And it was just so casually picked up by him from this chopping board and found!
[Your luck is really good, you have found another key item.
Now supplementing you with new rules for Creepy Tale Rule Group C.]
After Mo De stared blankly at the Bone Chopping Knife in his hand for a while, the pitch-black text appeared before his eyes!
[9.
An ordinary person just wearing a Town Meat Supplier badge entering the Meatpacking Plant will surely die!]
[10.
When Lin Yue's wife is taking a bath, she hopes you will go and have a heart-to-heart talk with her and comfort her.]
After the two rules were presented, the System's notification sound appeared in Mo De's mind at the same time.
"Ding~ Congratulations Host for finding one of the key items, obtaining one lie detection opportunity."
Mo De heard the System's notification sound in his ears, but his attention was more on this newly appeared Creepy Tale Rule 10.
Creepy Tale Rule 9, he had personally verified it was false.
He wore the badge and went to the Meatpacking Plant, and nothing happened at all!
Judging based on the basic rule that when rules are refreshed, at least one is true, that means 10 is true.
This... seems a bit bad.
Lin Yue's wife has already passed away.
