BXBX NOVEL Chapter 110 Lavender Heaven
Yuan Chunhua had initially thought that Jiang Ming would be petty and refused to help her anymore after finding out the truth.
However, that was simply the wrong mindset since Jiang Ming wouldn\'t be that petty.
Their goals are now aligned, so helping her out would only benefit both of them. Hence, Jiang Ming wouldn\'t do something that would harm his wealth.
Yuan Chunhua smiled lightly at Jiang Ming\'s swift response.
"Let\'s hurry to the Lavender Heaven then," She said, retracting the formation around them.
After that, she activated her movement technique and began running toward the direction of the crime scene.
Jiang Ming didn\'t delay his movement either as he followed closely behind.
Sometime later, they arrived at the crime scene where numerous Imperial Soldiers were deployed into each corner, effectively stopping anyone from entering or leaving.
"Commander Yuan," Qizhi Shun hurriedly ran forward and cupped his fist as soon as he saw the arrival of Yuan Chunhua.
"What\'s the current situation?" Yuan Chunhua asked, going directly to the main point.
"The situation is currently being handled properly and our soldiers have already blocked every aspect and path for the criminal to escape."
"Have you inspected the body of the victim yet? Like the time of death and cause of death?"
"Un, based on the corpse, we determined that the kill had happened 3 hours ago. In addition, access to the crime scene could only be entered from the back alley of the Lavender Heaven." Qizhi Shun reported.
While Yuan Chunhua and Qizhi Shun busied themselves with the report, Jiang Ming was suddenly hit with an impromptu system notification.
Ding!
<Player Jiang Ming had accidentally found a clue to the investigation, leading to the completion of the mission.>
<Does Player Jiang Ming wish to expand the scope of the System\'s Personification?>
–
\'System Personification\' Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow. It was his first time hearing such a thing, so he had no clue what the personification was about.
Ding!
<System Personification is a newly invented program by our developer. It can help Player Jiang Ming mimic some popular fictional character for a brief amount of time>
<System Personification is still in beta mode, so GLCS kindly advises Player Jiang Ming to proceed with caution>
Teehee~
–
"..."
Upon seeing the new system prompt, Jiang Ming understood one thing only. He was being treated as a guinea pig for a new function and to test if it worked.
In addition, the timing of it couldn\'t be any more perfect when he needed to go investigate a corpse.
\'Damn it, sometimes I feel like I\'m completely naked with this system. Even though I\'m not obligated to do any of the recommendations it gives me, all of those technically require me to do so.\' Jiang Ming thought.
Just when Jiang Ming was dazed about the new function from GLCS, Yuan Chunhua suddenly called out to him.
"Jiang Ming, are you alright?" She asked calmly. "Are you just going to wait out here in the open?"
Jiang Ming snapped out of his daze as he quickly shook his head.
"N-No, let\'s go to the crime scene and see the victim." Jiang Ming laughed heartily, leaving the system prompt on the side for a moment.
Although a bit confused, Yuan Chunhua decided to brush it off as she followed behind Qizhi Shun, who led them inside the Lavender Heaven.
Since the back alley could only be accessed through the restaurant, and Qizhi Shun had already investigated that nobody had broken into the alley through some loophole, they eliminated the process of someone sneaking in from the outside.
By the time they entered Lavender Heaven, they were quickly hit with a faint smell of Lavender, soothing their emotions.
"Hmm, this lavender smell is a bit unique…" Jiang Ming muttered. With just a sniff, he could tell that the lavender had some effect that naturally calms a person\'s emotions down, reducing the percentage of a fight occurring.
Yuan Chunhua nodded her head in agreement. She felt like the anxiousness in her mind had slowly disappeared, replacing it with a calm and cool emotion.
"How is this possible?" She asked aloud.
Qizhi Shun wanted to answer her question, but even he himself doesn\'t know the answer.
While they were pondering, a mature woman with blonde hair, purple eyes, long smooth legs, and a busty breast size walked toward them. She had a charming and heavenly look that could topple any kingdom with a mere glance of her.
"The lavender smell is a specialty of our restaurant, and helps ease the mood of our patrons." The mature woman said enchantingly.
"This is?"
"Responding to Commander Yuan, this woman is the owner of the Lavender Heaven, Qian Wumei."
"Qian Wumei?" Yuan Chunhua raised an eyebrow as she stared deeply at her.
"Shouldn\'t everyone be detained in their own room, and not be allowed to move around to prevent any suspect from trying to escape?" She asked.
"Fufu, Commander Yuan should relax a bit." Qian Wumei giggled softly, covering her mouth slightly with her hand. "I\'m the owner of this Lavender Heaven, and would I be so foolish as to kill someone in my own restaurant?
Yuan Chunhua doesn\'t know why, but when she looked at Qian Wumei, she felt a bit irritated for some reason.
"The protocol does not exempt anyone, so please return to your room. Otherwise, I will have to arrest you according to the martial law established by the Imperial Family." Yuan Chunhua threatened.
"C-Commander Yuan, I don\'t think we should do that…" Qizhi Shun whispered nervously to Yuan Chunhua.
"Hmph, are you trying to disobey my command?"
"I-It\'s not that, Commander Yuan. But Qian Wumei\'s background is-"
"Enough, detain her, and I shall do the interrogation later on." Yuan Chunhua waved her hand, dismissing Qizhi Shun\'s concern.
Meanwhile, Qian Wumei merely stood still with an amused expression. "I\'m afraid that you\'ll regret your action if you arrest me."
"Oh really, then I really want to see how regretful I would be." Yuan Chunhua snorted coldly.
