I Became a Heartthrob After A Job in Quick Transmigration - Chapter 73

The system didn’t expect Ye He to wake up in the middle of the night, and couldn’t help but sigh: [Mother and son are connected. 】

Ye He didn’t have time to reply to the system, and went to the first floor to check the situation, but still did not see any trace of the black cat.

Although I knew that some cats would go out to play and would come back when the time came, but in the days when Ye He raised Xiao Hei, the other party had always been by his side and never went out alone.

So seeing Xiao Hei missing now, Ye He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Although the windows and doors in the house were tightly closed, after searching around the house and failing to find Xiao Hei, Ye He decided to go outside to look for Xiao Hei.

Getting along these days has made him treat Xiao Hei as a member of his family, not just a pet. Ye He even thought that if Bob agreed, he would ask the system to let him take Xiao Hei out and raise him in the dormitory with Feng Zheng. After all, the other party also likes cats and dogs.

After all, Xiao Hei is just a little kitten, wandering outside all night, he doesn’t know what will happen. And I heard from Bob that there seems to be a pervert who abuses cats recently…

Thinking of this, Ye He became more and more anxious, put on his clothes, pushed open the door, and walked out.

The street lights on the street are still on, so Ye He can see the surroundings clearly without a flashlight. In order not to disturb the surrounding neighbors, he can only whisper the name of Xiao Hei while talking to the system in his heart. : “If I really find it outside, I must verbally teach it to stop running around.”

These days, the black cat seems to have forgotten its original name. When Bob calls it “love”, there is no response, but when Yehe calls it Xiaohei, all black cats will appear.

But this time, Ye He couldn’t see Xiao Hei running towards him.

The night wind was a bit cold, blowing head-on, Ye He subconsciously gathered his clothes and moved the tip of his nose: “Did you smell anything?”

…… How could he faintly smell a smudge like something was burnt?

System: [It smells a bit like barbecue. 】

After being reminded by the system, Ye He felt that the smell was indeed similar, and the smell seemed to come from the corner.

Soon Ye He’s attention returned to the street, his eyes patrolled around the road, trying to see if Xiao Hei was hiding in a corner.

Just as he was about to turn the corner, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of Ye He’s eyes, it was the little black he was looking for.

Ye He bent down, a lost and found smile appeared on the corner of his lips: “Xiao Hei!”

The black cat didn’t make a sound, but jumped directly into Ye He’s arms and rubbed his neck as if to comfort him silently.

Seeing Ye He’s excited look when he was holding Xiao Hei, the system felt that the other party should have long since forgotten what he said when he went out to give the other party a hard lesson.

After finding Xiao Hei, Ye He only felt that his heart that had been hanging was relieved, and a sense of drowsiness hit his heart, making him want to close his eyes and go back to rest for a while.

He hugged Xiao Hei, turned around and walked towards his house, Xiao Hei huddled in Ye He’s arms, and there was coldness in his green eyes.

Because of the matter of getting up in the middle of the night to look for the cat, this time the alarm clock rang three times, but Ye He couldn’t get up.

It wasn’t until there was a loud noise from the window, even accompanied by screams, that Ye He was pulled out of the dream.

He sat up angrily from the bed, opened the window and looked out. When the oncoming wind blew, Ye He suddenly became more awake, and he could clearly see that the direction of the clamor was coming from the street in front. A group of people were gathered around the corner where he found Xiao Hei last night, not knowing what they were discussing. Every now and then there are some screams.

Ye He wanted to see what was going on, but people blocked the corner tightly, so he had to go downstairs to check the situation.

Xiao Hei also got up at some point, jumped out of bed and followed him. Ye He took Xiao Hei in his arms and walked out of the house.

Bob was also outside, still carrying a schoolbag, and was trying to look inside on tiptoe. It seemed that he wanted to go to school, but was stumped by the onlookers.

Ye He stepped forward and patted Bob on the shoulder: “What happened?”

Bob’s body trembled slightly, then turned his head. At this time, his shape was also very strange. He covered his eyes with both hands, but his fingers were open, and he looked at people with the eyes exposed between his fingers.

After seeing Ye He, he put down his hand: “Brother Revere.”

Ye He went straight to the point: “What happened?”

Bob’s face changed: “Someone was burned to death last night.”

Before Ye He could speak, his body trembled involuntarily: “I heard that the corpse is quite scary, but I didn’t dare to look at it. Just now, someone who carried someone ran out and vomited.”

…… No wonder that look just now, I wanted to watch the fun but didn’t dare to look at the corpse.

As if responding to Bob’s words, the people who were still huddled together just now dispersed a little, and there were piercing screams. It turned out that someone carried the body out.

And Ye He was also able to see the appearance of the corpse from the gaps in the crowd. Although he was not very afraid of the corpse, he still had to admit that the corpse in front of him was indeed disgusting.

After seeing the appearance of the corpse, he subconsciously covered the eyes of the black cat in his arms.

The black cat obviously did not expect Ye He to do this action, and his body froze, but Ye He did not notice the abnormality of the black cat passing by, his attention was on the corpse in front of him.

The skin of the corpse has been charred, and although the eyes are open, the eyeballs seem to have been burned away, leaving only two empty holes. As soon as the wind blew, the charred skin, like the old wall skin, began to fall off piece by piece, revealing the soft and rotten meat and bones inside, as well as a burnt meat smell.

And a few young people carrying stretchers couldn’t help bending down and retching after putting down the bodies.

This taste…

Ye He instantly thought of the smell he smelled when he was looking for the cat last night.

Thinking that the smell of last night might be the burnt human flesh in front of him, Ye He’s scalp was numb, and he felt that he definitely didn’t have any appetite to eat meat this year.

Bob had already covered his eyes the moment the corpse was brought out, turned his head and said tremblingly to the air behind him, “Brother Revere, is the corpse scary?”

Ye He: “…I’m standing on your left now.”

The corpse was indeed a bit terrifying, Ye He instructed Bob to cover his eyes, and then his eyes fell on the corpse not far away.

He always felt that this corpse… looked inexplicably familiar.

A voice of discussion came from the crowd: “Who is this? The face is so burned that I can’t tell.”

“What I found from George’s private detective agency must be George.”

Although he didn’t know who George was, from the size of the corpse and the other’s hand bent at an abnormal angle, he recognized it as the middle-aged man who came to trouble him last night.

Ye He still remembered that the other party was taken away by Andersey at that time, but he didn’t expect that it would be like this after only one night.

Someone couldn’t help but glanced away and turned to ask one of the young men carrying the stretcher, “Is this George suicide or homicide?”

As soon as he heard George’s name, the young man who had finally retched his face suddenly turned pale and said with difficulty, “It was suicide, there is no trace of the second person in the room.”

The person who asked said, “It’s strange, he is so afraid of fire that he would choose to burn to death…”

Another young man continued: “Yeah, I used to smoke in front of him before, he was afraid of sparks, and he let me kill it with no fuss. I heard that I was burned when I was a child.”

“And the fire was strange. There was nothing wrong with the house, but the man was gone, and it was not clear what kind of fire he used.”

George himself is from the town, so they both know each other.

Hearing the words of several young people, Ye He also felt very strange. Bob was not very courageous. After hearing these words, he closed his eyes and covered his ears instead.

Ye He suddenly heard an inaudible sigh: “This month just started, why did three people die all at once.”

Hearing the other party’s words, Ye He was stunned, except for Goddess Bob’s uncle George, who else has died this month?

In any case, it’s kind of strange that three people have died at the beginning of a month. And Ye He came to this dungeon at the beginning of the month, except for George’s death, the other two died quietly.

Just when Ye He felt a little strange, he didn’t know who called “Mayor” respectfully first, and then everyone else turned their eyes and looked over, calling “Mayor” one after another.

Ye He looked curiously, this was the first time he had seen the mayor of the town for so many days.

The mayor was older than Ye He thought. He looked fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair, but his back was not hunched. He was still tall and straight, and walked over with a blank expression, looking a little serious.

At first glance, Robert was his son, his eyebrows, eyes and nose looked like a mayor who was decades younger.

With the arrival of the mayor, the crowd that was still lively and bustling just now quieted down instantly, obviously they were a little afraid of him.

Looking at the gathered people, the mayor couldn’t help frowning: “What are you doing around here? Aren’t you afraid that others won’t notice? Spread out.”

Before the people who had gathered together had time to react, the mayor walked directly through the crowd and walked to George’s body.

Ye He noticed that the mayor’s expression changed obviously when he saw the corpse, mixed with fear and anxiety.

However, the abnormal expression on the mayor’s expression only appeared for a moment, and he quickly changed to a blank expression: “Hurry up and find a place to bury it.”

Ye He frowned, feeling that things were not simple: “This mayor is weird.”

Even if the mayor knew that George committed suicide before he came, the reaction of opening his mouth to bury the body was not quite right.

The system suddenly became vigilant: [No reasoning. 】

Experience tells it that Ye He’s reasoning just pushes the truth further.

Hearing the system’s words, Ye He knew that the other party was unwilling to share his reasoning process with him, so he could only sigh regretfully.

The mayor over there was instructing them to quickly find a place to bury George, and out of the corner of the eye caught a glimpse of the figure he didn’t want to appear.

I don’t know when, Andersey and his party came over.

Ye He also noticed Andersey’s approach, and even more noticed that most of the girls in the crowd had their eyes glued to Andersey.

Ye He’s mood was a bit complicated: “…Did anyone see me like that at the time?”

The system comforted: [Yes. 】

But most of them are only men.

Ye He took some comfort.

After seeing the press cards and camera equipment on several people, some people had already dispersed, and Bob quickly pulled Ye He aside.

Although some girls were reluctant to leave, they felt that the mayor’s slashing gaze fell on them, so they could only reluctantly leave first.

Even if Ye He wanted to stay, but seeing that there were not many people here, it would be awkward if he chose to stay, so he had to reluctantly give up the gossip here and return to the detective agency first.

Windsor and Lillian also noticed the gazes of those girls, and their moods were very calm. After all, Andersey did have an indescribable charm to women, and the two of them couldn’t resist each other.

When the mayor saw Andersey and his group, his expression flashed a little, but the moment he saw a few people approaching, he quickly returned to normal. He stood in front of the corpse and looked at Andersey, who was headed: “There is some blood here. , there is a girl behind you, it’s best not to get close.”

Although Andersey in front of him is much younger than him, because the other party is employed by the city agency that manages the town, even if the mayor doesn’t want to, he can only use “you”.

“It’s alright, we’re just curious about what happened,” Anderswen said.

The mayor explained: “A resident in the town committed suicide. He has no other relatives, so I will help him arrange his funeral…”

Because several people were in front of him, the mayor knew that it was useless to cover up George’s death, and it would arouse their suspicions, so he could only speak the truth so that the few people in front of him could be dismissed.

Before he could finish his words, a few people behind Andersey had already passed the mayor and looked in.

Several people are players, except for one of the novice players and the uncle carrying the camera, who vomited when they saw the corpse, the others have experienced the dungeon more or less, so the reaction when they saw the corpse was not so great. .

The mayor’s gaze stopped for a few seconds on the uncle, but when he saw the other side hunched over and retching, he withdrew his gaze again.

Windsor smacked his tongue and said, “Someone died again? I heard that this is the second or third death in the town this month? Are the other two also committed suicide?”

The mayor said with a blank expression: “Who are you listening to the rumors? I have never left this town, and I never knew that other people died in the town this month.”

Seeing the mayor’s determined expression, Windsor’s expression suddenly showed a bit of embarrassment, and he remained silent.

Seeing that Windsor was really speechless, Andersey stood up: “We heard this by accident on the side of the road before. It’s far away, and it’s possible to hear it wrong.”

Hearing Andersey’s words, Windsor quickly nodded in agreement, and the embarrassment just now dissipated a bit: “That’s right.”

Rao is like this, the mayor still looked at the few people silently, but he opened his mouth and said: “So it is, I have never heard such words before, so I heard Miss Windsor suddenly It feels a little strange to say.”

“If my attitude just now scared Miss Windsor, I’m sorry. But please forgive me. After all, any mayor will be unhappy when he hears that there are other unwarranted murders in his town.”

Andersey nodded, and then suddenly changed the conversation and put forward his own purpose: “We want to go to the scene of the accident and see.”

The mayor’s expression changed suddenly, and he almost subconsciously wanted to say “no”, but Andersey said first, “Don’t worry, we won’t record it on the camera, we just want to see what happened.”

“After all, our mission is to shoot a promotional video for the town. We need to know where the accident is, and then we can avoid it when we shoot.”

Mayor: “This…”

Andersey tilted his head slightly, a strand of hair fell on his forehead, casting a mottled shadow, and the amber pupils were a little more inquisitive: “Or, you have something to hide that you don’t want to Let’s check?”

The mayor naturally noticed Andersey’s sight, and the other party had blocked his back path. He knew that if he didn’t agree, it would make Andersey and his party even more suspicious.

After a long silence, the mayor said, “Okay, I’ll have someone take you there. I…I still have some things to deal with, so I won’t follow.”

Although the mayor tried hard to hide, Andersey could still hear the trembling in the other’s voice.

The mayor is afraid of something.

Because Bob was going to school, Ye He soon separated from the other party.

Not long after returning to the detective agency, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.

It was Judith.

Because of the previous experience, Ye He was no longer so frightened when he saw the other party put his head on the table again, but smiled kindly: “Judith, are you the only one here? ?”

Thinking of Judith’s mental problems, for the safety of the other party, he was ready to leave Judith here and wait for her mother to come and lead someone.

After a few seconds, Judith shook her head and said slowly, “No…no.”

“Someone came with me, and she’s here.”

Although Judith spoke slowly, her words were clear.

The smile on Ye He’s face froze, and he couldn’t help hugging the black cat in his arms: “…System, do you see anyone else in the room besides Judith?”

He even stood up and looked at the door, but there was no third person in the room besides him and Judith.

The system was also a little puzzled: [No, but isn’t Judith mentally ill? It’s probably her imaginary friend. 】

Hearing the system’s words, Ye He also thought of Judith’s strange painting, and asked tentatively, “Did your friend come with you? Did your friend find it?”

This time Judith’s reaction was quick, she nodded immediately, and even had a smile on her face.

Ye He’s heart was completely relieved, he understood that it should be like what Judith’s mother said, the other party had hallucinations again.

Not long after Judith nodded, she suddenly turned her head to look at the door as if she realized something, and said dumbly, “Hey, where is my friend?”

She seemed to realize that there were only herself and Ye He in the room, and she lowered her head a little desolately: “She left me and ran away again, and she doesn’t want to show up these days.”

Seeing what Judith said, Ye He felt a bit of pity in his heart. He vaguely remembered that Judith’s mother said that because of her illness, no children wanted to play with her, so loneliness must also be Judith’s Dess will fantasize about the reasons for a friend to accompany her.

Ye He thought of an important question: “Does your mother know that you ran out?”

Although Judith’s reaction was slow, she could understand these words: “No, I came out with a friend to find her father. Mom… Mom doesn’t allow me to play with her, and even scolds me, Sometimes they hit me…”

Hearing Judith’s words, Ye He’s face suddenly became serious: “She still beat you?”

Judith didn’t seem to care about this issue, but looked at Ye He expectantly: “Can you help me find my friend’s father? Her father is tall and big, and there is this thing on his shoulders… …”

Judith took out another piece of paper from her pocket, Ye He put the cat on the table, opened it, and found something like a leaf drawn on it, and she was instantly confused: “This is… “

The system actually recognized the above: [This looks like the police badge of this world. 】

Ye He was stunned: “Isn’t there no police in the town? Where did Judith see the police badge?”

The system is also a little puzzled.

Ye He could only look at Judith, pointed to the picture above and asked, “It’s beautiful, but it looks familiar, did you draw it according to what?”

Hearing Ye He complimenting herself, Judith’s face showed a smile, and she said excitedly after a few seconds: “Yes…my friend pointed me to painting, and she also said that I painted very nicely. .”

Ye He understood that it was impossible for him to get the answer, and sighed in his heart: “From ancient times to the present, I have a friend series with unsolved unsolved cases…”

system:【……】

Although he didn’t understand Ye He’s meaning, he didn’t think that this was a problem that has plagued human beings for a long time.

Judith looked at the painting she had drawn, her eyes suddenly turned red, she began to wipe her tears, and she had a tendency to cry.

It was the first time Ye He saw a child cry, and he was at a loss for a moment: “What’s wrong?”

Why did Judith suddenly cry? !

Judith sobbed, “You….can you find her dad? She’s my best friend and I want to help her.”

Ye He just wanted to tell Judith not to cry first, so he didn’t understand the other party’s words, so he nodded again and again, and handed over the tissue in his hand: “Of course, you can stop crying.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a systematic voice sounded in his ears: [Congratulations to the host for triggering a random mission: Complete Judith’s commission and find her friend’s father (unfinished). 】

Ye He: “……”

Wait, what did he just hear?

After the system repeated the task again, he realized that he had not heard it wrong.

Isn’t Judith’s friend her imagination? Where is he going to find a father for him?

The author has something to say: the network at home is up and down today, after thinking about it, I should send it first (scratch my head)
