883: The murderer's exposure
The storybook was opened.
It was somewhat unexpected, yet also within anticipation.
This story was still about that pair of twin Older brothers!
'Although the Older brother and younger brother had different interests, the two Older brothers had a very good relationship, especially the Older brother who was very caring towards his younger brother and often made delicious sandwiches for him.'
'However, as he grew older, the younger brother encountered a mountain fire during a hunt and was severely burned all over by the blaze.'
'Although he was rescued in time, he was also severely disfigured. On the surface, the A Man treated his Lin Yue's wife and daughter normally as if he didn't care, but secretly, due to his Lin Yue's wife's physiological repulsion and his friends' avoidance, his state of mind changed drastically!'
'His heart began to envy everything, envying his Older brother's face that was the same as his own before, and envying his Lin Yue's wife's perfection.'
"Until one day, the younger brother discovered something he couldn't bear. His Lin Yue's wife and daughter were facing the end of the World!"
The chapter of the story ended here.
Mo De closed the book, lost in thought.
"Ding ~ The Host has finished using the storybook. Does the Host want to enable the recycling function to exchange the storybook for System items?"
Ye Tian reminded the Host.
It was like a big mom who rushes over to collect empty mineral water bottles as soon as someone finishes drinking.
Mo De was slightly stunned: "Then recycle it."
After all, the storybook only contained information about the Town.
Today was the last day in the Town, and this item had served its final purpose.
If the System could recycle it and give him a chance to use a lie detector, he would make a huge profit.
"Ding ~ Storybook recycling successful. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained one Prophecy Traceback Card."
Prophecy Traceback Card: When the Host encounters insurmountable danger and dies, the Traceback Card can take the Host back to 12 hours before, and all items the Host possesses will also be taken back to 12 hours before.
This item was considered an upgraded version of the prophecy card.
The reason Ye Tian gave the Host this was because this storybook was worth it.
Opening the storybook in his hand, Ye Tian turned his head and saw the prophecy diary next to him, flapping its pages like a pug waiting to be fed.
"It's yours. I hope you can also forge a path." As he spoke, the storybook was thrown to the prophecy diary by Ye Tian.
And this was indeed what he had prepared for the prophecy diary.
The prophecy diary's exploration of direction and development of abilities were currently only based on points.
This method was a bit too monotonous and straightforward, and it would become increasingly difficult to proceed later on.
Mainly, it would also consume more points.
A storybook like this, which evolved from some kind of rule power, was very good nourishment for the prophecy diary.
This could change the fundamental nature of the prophecy diary, which was originally just an ordinary diary.
After the storybook was thrown out, the prophecy diary immediately caught it.
It was likely that it had been coveting this kind of rule power that also belonged to books.
Tales of the Weird world.
Inside the police car.
After Mo De received this reward from the System, he was completely taken aback, not having expected it at all.
"Prophecy Traceback Card, this is directly giving me a life-saving trump card!"
He didn't expect that just a recycling would yield such a generous reward!
Perhaps, he could try something bolder.
...
Under the gloomy sky, Mo De contacted Corey via the walkie-talkie and arrived at the courtyard of the house he had previously lived in.
Standing at the courtyard entrance, Corey handed Mo De a sandwich while he himself gnawed on a hot dog: "Don't you dislike eating sandwiches? You ate one last morning, and now you like them?"
Corey still used this kind of conversational tactic.
Mo De gestured for the other party to put the sandwich in the police car and then walked towards the courtyard in front of him.
In the courtyard of the house in front of him, there were many things piled up that had been moved out of the basement last night.
Looking at it, it appeared very cluttered.
The situation had not changed from when he left yesterday.
When he arrived at the door, Mo De slowly squatted down and looked at the door lock.
In the reflection of the light, a cold glint appeared.
It was a silk thread.
A silk thread connected between the door and the door frame.
Mo De had deliberately left this when he left.
If the Master of this house had returned home through the door last night, then this silk thread would inevitably have been broken, thus verifying that the Master of this house had returned.
But now.
The silk thread was intact.
Without pushing open the door, Mo De turned and went to the window through which he could enter the house.
The window area was very clean, with no traces visible.
However, it was precisely this kind of spotless, as if meticulously cleaned, situation that made Mo De realize that the Master of this house had already returned last night.
They had entered the house through the window!
Pushing open the door and entering the house, Mo De's pupils scanned the house.
He had already searched it once yesterday, and there were no extra physical evidences left in this house.
Unless there were some extremely well-hidden things.
And if those kinds of things weren't found yesterday, it was highly likely that searching again today would be a waste of precious time.
Mo De knew this, but he still came into the house.
The Master of the house returned last night, definitely not just to stay for one night!
During this observation, Mo De did not miss a single corner.
When the sun was high in the sky, around eight or nine o'clock, his gaze suddenly fixed on the inside of a Fireplace used for heating in winter!
He had looked here yesterday and had not found anything unusual.
But today, he could clearly see a hint of black light appearing inside this Fireplace!
"Found it!"
After seeing this thing, Mo De was not in a hurry.
He stepped forward and poured out the contents of the Fireplace.
It was a pile of ashes.
As this black ash appeared, the black light granted by the System also gradually dissipated.
This indicated that this was a pile of evidence that had been destroyed!
Key evidence destroyed by the murderer themselves in the Fireplace!
"You really don't leave any handles, but your hurried actions are precisely the biggest exposure." Sweeping through the ashes, Mo De understood that this was the kind of thing like paper documents.
