Chapter 261

"Detective mission: Find the criminal hiding on the resort island and expose his crimes. If the criminal cannot be found within five days, the mission will fail by default."

"Criminal mission: Kidnapping at least one good person and causing a disappearance case, not killing a good person within three days, and not being detected by detectives within five days, the mission is successful by default."

Ye Qing quickly glanced at the mission content of the two characters, and made an assessment in his mind.

Obviously, criminals have a much lower task than detectives.

There are more than 50 NPCs and challengers on the holiday island.

It's too easy to attack one of them and then hide for five days.

From the looks of it, the perpetrator's options are more like benefits for SS level challengers.

But after Ye Qing savored it carefully, he discovered more information.

"Old Guo disappeared during the process of solving the case, that is to say, the criminal has already committed the crime. Then Lao Guo disappeared. This should be regarded as the second case of disappearance."

"The NPC criminals arranged by the system, after completing their first crime, will only try to hide themselves until the five-day period expires."

"But since the crime occurred twice, it means that in addition to the NPC criminal, there is another SS-level criminal who also chose to become a criminal and commit the crime."

"Lao Guo's disappearance is due to the SS class to complete the task."

Ye Qing pondered over the existing information, and obtained more reliable deduction:

"The challenger criminal can commit an unlimited number of crimes, and he may commit multiple crimes in order to obtain a higher score."

"Currently missing: 2 people, a good NPC and Lao Guo."

"Estimated number of criminals: 1 NPC criminal, at least 1 challenger criminal."

"The possibility of another disappearance case: extremely high!"

"Victims who have been placed under house arrest are very likely to be killed by criminals three days later!"

Ye Qing still can't figure out how Guo Cong lost the substitute doll.

In order to rescue Guo Cong, Ye Qing now has no choice but to choose to become a detective.

"Ding!"

"The detective character is confirmed, please customize the body appearance."

In order to better fit into the role of detective or criminal, the system forces challengers to modify their appearance.

Height, appearance, temperament, set a full score of 100 points.

Ye Qing's own image is very good, but for a profession like detective, the appearance does not really need to be too eye-catching.

After a little thought, he set the height, appearance, and temperament as 60 points.

Soon, Ye Qing turned into a 168cm tall, average-looking slightly fat man, a standard ordinary person who would be forgotten instantly when thrown into the crowd.

As soon as the screen changed, Ye Qing had been teleported to the resort island.

There are three other women in front of him, two of them are also very mediocre in appearance and temperament, obviously reset.

The third woman is Sophie, Ye Qing recognized her immediately.

This guy was already a big beauty before, at least above 90 points.

Now, she probably has raised her appearance setting to the level of full marks, and she is already as beautiful as a goddess in Nordic mythology!
"you……"

Just as Ye Qing was about to speak, Sophie giggled.

"Ye, although you are ugly now, I still like you very much."

As soon as she finished speaking, the other two mediocre women immediately focused their attention on Sophie.

One of the women stared at Sophie coldly, obviously restraining her anger.

The other woman was pitiful and looked a little aggrieved.

Ye Qing recognized the two of them immediately, the one with the stern eyes was obviously Guan Mingyue, and the pitiful one was naturally Chuning.

"Cough, stop making trouble, the owner of the island is here."

In the island manor ahead, a middle-aged fat man with a bald head and a moustache, followed by several housekeepers and maids, hurried towards this side.

"The four of you must be friends of Detective Chen, right? I hope you are here."

Due to the use of Hearthstone, Ye Qing and others inherited Chen Xu's time and storyline.

Ye Qing nodded: "We already know the general situation of the disappearance. The two missing people are your daughter and Detective Guo, right?"

The woman of the owner of the island should have been kidnapped by NPC criminals.

As for Guo Cong, it is obviously not something that a mere NPC criminal can handle. He must have failed in the plot of a certain challenger.

"No no no!"

The owner of the island shook his head again and again, and raised three fingers.

"Three people, the third person just disappeared, and he is also a detective."

A third disappearance actually occurred?
And it was when Ye Qing just entered the dungeon, his eyes darkened?
The incident happened so suddenly, whether it was the second crime committed by the challenger criminal, or another No.3 criminal, Ye Qing couldn't decide.

Under the leadership of the island master, Ye Qing and others entered the manor.

In a study room, Ye Qing saw two detectives played by the challengers.

"Anyone else can enter the dungeon?" A detective asked in surprise.

"What's the use of being here? The criminals have committed crimes three times, and these newcomers don't even have any clues. It's fine if they are willing to be our assistants, otherwise they're just a burden."

The other challenger's attitude was even worse, but Ye Qing could see that this person must have stayed up all night and was emotionally irritable.

"Everyone, we actually know the general situation."

Ye Qing told the two about the function of the prop [Hearthstone], after all their identities as detectives can be trusted.

Once the challenger chooses to become a criminal, he will automatically obtain an identity similar to that of an island manor NPC, and cannot pretend to be a detective.

"Even if you know it, you may not be able to solve the case."

The detective who stayed up all night was really in a bad mood.

He slammed his fist on the table, knocking several teacups over and spreading tea all over the table.

The man said bitterly: "A mere NPC criminal, to be so arrogant, committed crimes under my nose three times, really..."

"Sorry to interrupt, in fact there are at least two criminals, among them there is only one NPC criminal, and the rest are challengers." Ye Qing reminded.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I have cleared this dungeon before. Although the NPC criminals are different every time, I have never heard that a challenger can become a criminal."

The challenger who stayed up all night glared at Ye Qing with angry eyes, as if dissatisfied with his nonsense.

Ye Qing only said indifferently: "Then when you came to this dungeon before, did you encounter an SS level challenger?"

"No...no." The man murmured, "This dungeon is special, there is no waiting area, we just enter the dungeon directly."

"Yes, usually when we see how many detectives there are, we use this to determine the total number of people who have entered the dungeon." Another person also said.

Ye Qing shook his head: "Then I can only tell you with regret that among the three disappearance cases, except for the disappearance of the island owner's daughter, the other two cases were caused by the challenger criminals."

"You... What evidence do you have!?" The man who stayed up late couldn't believe it.

Ye Qing gave him a deep look.

"Because I am an SS rank, before the dungeon was officially opened to me, I was given an additional option to become a criminal."

The two finally fell silent after listening.

After a long time, the person who stayed up all night said: "So...you...you are a powerful foreign aid invited?"

"Probably." Ye Qing said lightly: "From now on, I hope you can cooperate with me as much as possible. First of all, please tell me which NPCs the challenger who just disappeared has come into contact with alone."
