Chapter 445 The Mysterious Note



Chapter 445 The Mysterious Note

The saying "There's always a way out" had just been uttered during the day.

That evening, Jiang Xiaoqi received an uninvited guest.

It was first discovered by the furball system, which had transformed into a tabby cat. Now, the furball system has adapted to the outside world and loves the soft cat bed.

When the fluffy system returned carrying a package of oiled paper, Jiang Xiaoqi was selecting suitable tools on the system's shop panel.

The case is indeed difficult to investigate, but it becomes much easier if you're willing to spend money.

"What is this?" Jiang Xiaoqi took the oil paper package from the mouth of the hairball system.

"Just open it and see. I wonder who threw it over the wall. It almost hit me!"

Jiang Xiaoqi carefully opened the oil paper package, only to find a single note inside.

The handwriting on the note was crooked and messy, and it read, "The Third Prince is the mastermind behind the assassination!"

Jiang Xiaoqi frowned. The words were deliberately written with her left hand. Could it be a message from someone she knew?

It shouldn't be Minister Lin. If it were, they would just say so directly. There's no need to hide anything.

Since they were all in the same boat, Minister Lin must also be hoping that the truth about the assassination would come to light.

The Third Prince? Based on the calculations of those who have already benefited, the Third Prince is indeed a strong suspect.

However, an anonymous note alone is not enough to implicate the Third Prince; solid evidence is still needed.

"Host, host, host!"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

The fluffy system sighed helplessly. Was the host so engrossed in thinking about the case?

"Host, did you buy a tracker in the store?"

"Yes, there are some other things that can be used in investigating cases."

The fluffy system was astonished by its host's generosity. When did its host become so willing to spend so many points to redeem items from the system shop?!

However, as the system itself, the Fur Ball System can also profit from the points earned from exchanging goods, so it is quite possible to see its host suddenly become generous.

As tools were added to the shopping cart one by one, the fluffy system now only had a thirst for points.

I'm rich! I'm rich! Happiness came so fast, like a tornado!

Jiang Xiaoqi was about to check out her shopping cart when she realized that all the miscellaneous items had cost her over a thousand points, which was quite a hefty sum.

For items purchased on the mall panel, 10% of the final settlement points will be directly transferred to the Maoqiu system's account, while the remaining 90% will go to the main system.

This 9-point split seems excessive, but the fluff ball system didn't incur any costs, as all the products in the mall were produced by the main system.

The system is extremely satisfied with receiving a commission of one-tenth of the points earned!

"Haha, I wish the host could always be this generous. He's usually so frugal, avoiding buying things from the system shop whenever possible."

If I spend more money, the system will probably allow me to upgrade even sooner!

Jiang Xiaoqi was speechless. Right now, 10% of the monthly points bank interest is going to the system, and it's increasing month by month. And he's still not satisfied?!

Is it true that a small favor is appreciated but a large one breeds resentment? No, the system needs some discipline!

"Starting next month, your share will be withheld until you realize your mistake or perform meritorious service, at which point your share will be restored!"

"Crack!"

The world has collapsed for the system!

(ˉˉˉ) I got carried away just now... and made the host angry!

Is it too late for me to act cute now?

"Hey! You're not a real cat, no cuteness allowed! I don't fall for that!"

Uh! The host anticipated my plan... As expected, the host shouldn't be too smart!

No, finding an idiot won't work either. If I find an idiot, I might never level up, and the main system might even recycle me as a defective product.

Ignoring the system's whimsical thoughts, Jiang Xiaoqi directly took out the items she had bought from the system's shop and began to examine them.

The Truth Water can be used when interrogating those imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review. Of course, if the opportunity arises, it can also be used on the Third Prince.

But what exactly was the person who sent the note's intention?

Did she genuinely want to help him solve the case, or did she have some other motive, drawing his attention to the Third Prince to hide what she truly wanted to conceal even more deeply?

The Third Prince, on the other hand, is a smokescreen thrown out by this person. He might be a suspect, or he might just be a scapegoat...

Things of dubious origin should not be trusted entirely, but apart from the eldest prince and the second prince who has always lived in the palace, everyone else should be thoroughly investigated.

"Host! Please forgive me this time! I didn't mean any harm~ (>﹏<)"

"I can forgive you, but on one condition: you have to do something for me. There's no extra pay!"

"Host! I'll do it!"

"Why don't you ask what it is first?"

"No need to ask! I guarantee I'll get everything done!"

"Alright then~ I'll take it as you not exaggerating."

Jiang Xiaoqi took out two more props and threw them directly to the system.

"Take these two items and come with me to the Ministry of Justice prison!"

"Uh! Host~ Can a tabby cat end up in the Ministry of Justice's prison?"

Jiang Xiaoqi paused, looking at the fur ball system with suspicion.

"What's wrong, host? Why are you looking at me like that? I'm a little scared~"

"You're quite the actor. When was the last time you impersonated Wenbin? Let me think back!"

"(●—●)!!! We've been discovered!!!"

"Tongzi, you're not being honest!"

Jiang Xiaoqi raised an eyebrow. After holding back for so many days, she finally confronted Tongzi. It felt great!

"Hehehe, nothing can hide from you, host. It is indeed possible to briefly transform into a human, but it's all an illusion. It's not a real human, and it's not the same as the tabby cat's current state~"

Jiang Xiaoqi smiled but didn't say anything. Could it be a trick of the trade? As long as others see her in human form, that's fine, isn't it?

Whether it's a tabby cat or a tiny furball, it doesn't matter!

"Alright, enough talk! Let's go!"

Helpless, the fluffy system had no choice but to transform into Wen Bin's appearance and follow Jiang Xiaoqi to the Ministry of Justice prison.

The guards stopped them, and Jiang Xiaoqi showed them the imperial waist token, explaining his purpose.

The guards then withdrew and let them in.

Upon entering the Ministry of Justice prison, a dark and damp atmosphere hit you, and the cries of the prisoners rose and fell.

The jailer led Jiang Xiaoqi straight to the cell outside where the murder suspects were being held, and asked Jiang Xiaoqi which one he wanted to interrogate.

"Forget about choosing one, let's do them one by one. Thank you for your hard work, cell boss!"

"Oh dear, sir, what are you saying! It's all just my duty, my duty!"

The prisoners awaiting interrogation were tied to a wooden cross-shaped block, their hands and feet tightly bound.

In the jailer's eyes, Jiang Xiaoqi was a scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken, and the servants he brought with him were also weaklings.

These prisoners are all serious assassination criminals. If they were to injure Lord Jiang, their heads wouldn't be enough to compensate for it!

Jiang, weak and powerless, sir: Thank you so much for your thoughtful service!
