Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 1113 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 36)

“Okay…okay, Officer Willie, I’ll be right there.”

After hanging up the phone, Harris slammed the receiver onto the receiver, her pretense completely shattered, her eyes filled with ferocious rage.

He looked at the small house behind him with a gloomy face, his eyes filled with undisguised greed and unfulfilled desire, but he had to suppress his anger for the time being because of the phone call.

He turned and went back into the house, quickly put on his coat, and glanced at the flat courtyard again before leaving.

No matter who it is, anyone who enters his private compound without his permission is doomed.

As long as the woman and children stay obediently inside the house...

After he gets rid of the police, he'll come back and properly "train" the new "Luna".

Soon, Harris's car drove away from the yard and disappeared into the silent night.

Meanwhile, Xie Chenzhou, sitting in his police station office, put down Willie's private phone, tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

He certainly didn't have any "important evidence," but rather a subconscious feeling that compelled him to do it.

Of course, this is on the premise that Harris does indeed have problems.

Harris lived in a secluded house, far from the city and town, a natural barrier, but this also meant that if he did something in his house, no one would know.

Xie Chenzhou keenly sensed that there was likely some crucial clue hidden here, possibly even related to Miaomiao's whereabouts.

If the key suspects are all innocent, then those who only appeared once or not at all may be problematic. Not to mention that Harris's public persona contradicts what he actually receives, and despite having no family, he receives more than twice the amount of food that a normal person would have.

Indeed, Xie Chenzhou even had time to ask the employees of nearby supermarkets, especially those near his company. Such a sentimental person would buy things from the same store all the time, so naturally some people noticed that the man in front of them ate more than a normal man, and some employees even told him some interesting stories.

It's said that for a few years, Harris really liked buying baby food cans and also bought a lot of discounted children's clothes. When asked, it turned out that they were gifts for his distant cousin who was so poor that she didn't have a job.

The police in the game, apart from lacking the electronic aids of later generations, could access more information than expected. At least Xie Chenzhou had a photographic memory; after investigating Harris, he naturally knew how many people were in his family, and that Harris did indeed have a distant cousin.

But Xie Chenzhou remembered clearly that his distant cousin's child should be just over 20 years old now. Would teenagers eat baby food a few years ago?

These kinds of cases are extremely common.

But regardless, this man is not as innocent as he appears.

Because Xie Chenzhou couldn't see Miaomiao, but because of his strong and extreme emotions, he developed a woman's sixth sense.

That strong sixth sense always made him feel an almost violent urge to tear the man to pieces towards him, a feeling he had only met once.

But he remembered clearly that the rules stipulated they could not kill NPCs directly, and he was not a serial killer.

Of course, Xie Chenzhou did not barge into Harris's house rashly.

Firstly, trespassing lacks legal basis and is likely to alert the perpetrator. Furthermore, if the homeowner shoots at you for doing so, you deserve to die.

Secondly, he was unsure if Miaomiao was inside, and acting rashly might endanger her safety.

The safest and simplest way is to move Harris away from his lair.

By summoning him to the police station under the pretext of cooperating with the investigation, his control over the house can be temporarily cut off.

As for whether it was true or not, Xie Chenzhou was somewhat unsure.

Who Luna is is not important, but if he had revealed the answer sooner, Miaomiao, no matter where she is, could have survived as a member of the team.

Xie Chenzhou raised his hand and rubbed his temples, his gaze falling once more on the files on the table, his fingertips tracing the name "Harris".

He never does anything he's not confident about. He must win this game—not only to complete the game's mission, but also to find Miaomiao as soon as possible and protect her.

Perhaps it was Xie Chenzhou's phone call in the middle of the night that changed Harris's plans, making his already violent heart even more irritable and uneasy, or perhaps for various other reasons. In any case, Harris was not as composed as he appeared on the surface. Instead, he slammed the steering wheel several times in a fit of rage until his emotions calmed down a bit before driving to the police station.

Xie Chenzhou didn't leave either; he planned to keep this guy at the police station.

His plan was simple: he would detain Harris for 24 hours under the pretext that the evidence verification would take time, during which time he could secretly go to his residence to investigate clues.

But as Harris pushed open the door and entered the interrogation room, a faint yet incredibly familiar fragrance suddenly wafted into Xie Chenzhou's nostrils.

It's a scent unique to Miaomiao.

The scent was crisp with a hint of soft sweetness. Even though it was mostly masked by the smell of old leather on Harris, so faint that it almost disappeared, Xie Chenzhou would never mistake it.

In an instant, Xie Chenzhou's pupils constricted sharply, and it felt as if a raging fire had suddenly exploded in his chest. His violent emotions nearly overwhelmed his rational defenses. His fingers clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his nails digging deep into his palms. Only the sharp pain allowed him to maintain a semblance of calm.

Miaomiao is actually in his hands!?

So, who has she become to him now?

He desperately wanted to rush up to Harris, snap his neck, and force him to reveal Miaomiao's exact whereabouts.

But reason quickly returned—the game rules clearly prohibit players from directly killing NPCs. If he loses control and takes action, not only will he fail to rescue Miaomiao, but he will also be judged as a failure and killed by the system.

Xie Chenzhou took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging violence in his heart, his face still displaying the businesslike indifference of Officer "Willie".

He subtly took a half-step back, creating distance between himself and Harris to avoid being swayed by his emotions and acting impulsively.

Although Harris noticed the officer's strange behavior, he maintained his cowardly and fearful demeanor, rubbing his hands together as he stood there.

"Officer Willie, the evidence you mentioned... how else do you need my cooperation?"

Xie Chenzhou didn't reply, his sharp gaze sweeping over Harris's entire body, trying to find more traces related to Miaomiao.

Apart from that faint, almost nonexistent fragrance, there was nothing else unusual about Harris.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a faint hint of provocation in Harris's eyes as he looked at him.

That look was fleeting; if it weren't for his amazing observational skills, he wouldn't have been able to catch it at all.

“You can search my house, or anywhere else you can think of, as long as you have a search warrant.”

Harris almost unilaterally concluded that it was impossible for a case from eight years ago to be linked to him.

Without a search warrant, if I want to get credit, I have to go to his house alone. Officer Willie will definitely not make a fuss about breaking the law, so I can just die in his yard and become fertilizer.
