“Huh? Where’s my tattoo?!”Liam Stake rolled up his sleeves and was shocked by the sight of his own two arms, which were white and unblemished. Previously, they were covered by a tattoo of the head of a lion, drawn by one of the most famous tattoo artists in the area. They looked intimidating, to say the least.But…where were they now?Liam raised his head and found himself sitting in a brightly lit office that was split into many small cubicles.At the moment, the office was in a state of chaos–phones ringing nonstop, documents flying around, and a flurry of office workers running through the hallway, each of them with anxiety and exasperation written all over their face.“Alright, alright, everyone, gather around!” A middle-aged man clad in a brown jacket appeared and directed everyone’s attention. “Team Leader Elyon Roy shall now describe to us the situation regarding Taser Rape Cases. Tonight, we’re moving out, so everyone listen carefully!”Another person quickly pulled over a wh

Liam’s words instantly made the entire office deathly silent.The group of investigators who were ready to start working all froze in place, staring at Liam in disbelief.In their eyes, the man must have been crazy. Captain Ortega was the top brass of the Key Case Investigation Unit. The investigation plan had already been set in motion, yet Liam was suddenly asking for the day off? Not only that, but to say it so boldly, how foolish could he be?Besides, even if it really was some kind of emergency, there was no need to bother Captain Ortega about it; usually just letting a Group Leader know would suffice. To ask for work leave from the Captain himself as? Liam had done was no different than taunting the Captain.And of course, hearing Liam’s discurtious tone, Captain Jing’s expression darkened immediately.“Oi…” Vice Captain Stephen jumped at the opportunity. The man tilted his head and yelled, “Liam, are you crazy? Looks like your recent promotion to an official officer has gone to

Since this is the Miracle System, should there be some sort of introduction?But when Liam tried to search through his mind, there was no such thing. He could not even recall the strange voice that had just spoken to him.He angrily slapped his head over and over, but there was no change.“What the hell is this!”Just now the voice spoke too quickly. He did not even hear it completely, only remembering a few words related to the lottery. He could not help but think, could it be that the so-called Miracle System was just some lottery system?If so, did I win the jackpot, or the complete opposite?Hmmm…Liam could not help but feel a little disappointed. Even if he had won some sort of system, it was probably the easiest one to win in history.He tried to smoke a few more puffs, but realized that after his violent cough session just now, the cigarette was already extinguished.He sighed heavily. He returned to searching through his memory, and realized the Liam of this world was in a te

Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?Liam tried to convince himself otherwise–he was probably thinking too much. There was no way. He had just finished listening to the briefing for the Taser Rape Criminal Case, and had he really seen the culprit himself?Those kind of odds must be smaller than winning the lottery!Liam held the wine glass in his hand, yet he could not drink properly at all. The man in the windbreaker was just too suspicious!Baseball cap, lowered head, gloomy expression, and that suspicious feeling.Liam thought about group leader Elyon’s case briefing. The Taser Rape Case victims were all females with questionable habits. It fit that gold digger perfectly.Not only that, but the culprit’s face had been scratched, and the man in windbreaker was covering his face with his collar. Could it be?Could it really be that the male in the windbreaker was the Taser Rapist?Having come to that thought, Liam could no longer sit around. He figured even if he wa

Another voice!“Again?!” Liam was caught off-guard. He had wanted to listen more carefully, but the voice disappeared as suddenly as it came, returning to silence.“Reward?!” The man only remembered the word reward. Reward, reward, where are you?Just as he was thinking of the word, his mind suddenly displayed a virtual image. There was a small, round black ball displayed on the image in 3D.Liam clicked on the black ball using his thoughts, and a voice suddenly rang out in his head, “Invisibility Eavesdropper device. One time use. After usage, allows for invisible eavesdropping, completely undetectable. Lasts forty-eight hours.”“What? What?” Liam was puzzled by the sudden introduction, and hurriedly clicked on the ball again, causing the voice in his head to replay the description of the Invisibility Eavesdropper device.“Officer Liam, I put two bags of sugar in this cup of coffee again!” Li Beini watched Liam’s spacey expression, and assumed he was simply enjoying the coffee too mu

‘Roulette! Another roulette!’Liam could not help but feel somewhat nervous. What did the Miracle System have planned for him this time? He hurriedly checked for the reward he obtained yesterday–the Invisibility Eavesdropper was still there! Without a doubt, this thing was made for eavesdropping. It was completely undetectable, and was definitely a valuable item.Liam trekked back to the office, but saw that the office was not nearly as crowded as before There were only a few investigators working in their cubicles. People like Stephen, and Elton were not there.Seeing Liam’s arrival, a few of the investigators could not help but awkwardly stare at the man. No matter how they saw it, yesterday Liam was just out of ordinary. The usually meek man-child had acted like such a violent thug, but then had single handedly solved the Taser Rape Case. It was hard to imagine.But Liam could not care less about the stares, and headed straight for his work computer.His neighbors were Jasper Roy a

7Liam was truly penniless, he did not even have money to buy data on his phone, and had to look up house rental information on a computer instead.In the end, among the mass of advertisements, he randomly picked a few that were near the police station. Showing no regard for work hours, the man threw on his jacket and left the workplace.As for Jasper’s investigation, he did not have high expectations. If just a few of his words could solve a cold case that had been plaguing the Investigation Unit for ten years, it would really be the joke of the century!Executed by lethal injection but having escaped death and crossed over, and then obtaining the magical, so-called Miracle System had put Liam in a great mood. As he strolled down the street, the sun beamed upon him warmly as he walked with an extra spring in his step.He started realizing that being a Key Case Investigator might not be so bad. Catching criminals and getting rewards, not to mention some special privileges. That kind o

Apparently the thing the little girl handed to the blonde really was a USB. The USB contained two game account’s usernames and passwords, both for a currently popular game.“So, it was just about game account theft!” he thought.Liam was secretly relieved that he did not dash out just then to catch them red-handed. The grand Key Case Investigation Unit Officer coming out to catch two measly game account thieves? if it ever got out, he would never be able to live it down.But the man was also somewhat strange to think two game accounts would be worth this much money? According to the girl there was ten-thousand dollars in the envelope. That was his salary for the next few months!“Sir, this was honestly my first time. The money, I don’t want it anymore!” The little girl was still talking through her tears, “Can you let me go? I honestly won’t do it again!”“Pfft…” Liam spoke abrasively, “That deal just now was completely wordless and smooth, yet you say that’s your first time?”“I…” Th

The Liam of this world had never driven before. He did not even have a driver’s license. But the street king Liam?of his previous life was different. In his old world, he was often “invited” to the police station due to frequent speeding. Although his driving skill was not considered amazing, his opponents were always very afraid of him because Liam drove in a style similar to how he fought–without a care for his own life!Liam was driving his police car with the siren was going off. How could any traffic police officers stop him now? He floored the gas pedal, and headed straight towards the place called Sandra Welsh. Along the way he sped past countless cars, ignored every traffic light, and nearly ran a few cars into the ditch. The drivers behind him cursed endlessly.Of course, the reason why Liam drove so carelessly was because he was in a state of emergency. Sandra was a fairly famous graveyard in Qinshan, and was the home of Vee’s father’s grave. He was rushing to save someone!D

Senior, what a coincidence, I was about to call you!” Sharon’s vivacious voice said through the phone. “Ruth’s private life is a mess. I just saw her go into a hotel with four men!”“Ah? What…” Liam had wanted to tell Sharon about Emily, but as Sharon suddenly told him that, he became lost for words.Sharon sneered and said, “I knew you were not thinking of anything good. I was joking! She was at the hotel for a conference! Kekeke…”Liam cut Sharon short and told her what he saw at Li Dan’s house all at once.?After listening, Sharon was completely dumbstruck! She was only a clerk intern, and although her investigation skills were quite good, she felt a little confused now that they had discovered who the culprit was.“S…senior! What should we do next?” Sharon asked, shivering.“What should we do?” Liam was also barely a real policeman. Encountering such an earth shattering event had also made him lose the ability to think straight. He needed to take control over Emily’s place, and obt

“Police Officer! What’s up?” The elderly woman saw Liam’s reaction and was excited and nervous. She asked as she stood by the door, “Are these the things you needed? My daughter is a good person. You have to protect her well!”Liam was still in a state of shock and confusion as he ignored the woman’s inquiry. Not only did he carefully read the document with the photo of the grave, but he also made sure to read through all the information regarding Vee!As with the last few cases, Emily had already done extensive research and planning for her next act! The place with the collapsed grave was the key to her current plan!As it turned out, the person in the grave on the document was Vee’s father! Her father had passed away many years ago due to a sudden illness. Returning to his roots, his body was buried in his family’s ancestral graves. Had Emily dared to alter the grave?Earlier, she dug a hole in the grave, then forged an official document and sent it to Vee. The document said that Vee

The second victim of the Lost Hand Case, Mabel, had her hand chopped off while she was sleeping at home. The chances of solving burglary attacks like this were usually quite high, but only Mabel’s case was unsolved. There were numerous security cameras in the surrounding district, but there was no sign of any suspects, which had perplexed the police. What method had the culprit used?When Liam saw Emily’s detailed plan, he finally realized how she had done it! If the keyword for Sarah’s case was “vent,” then the keyword for Mabel’s case would be “ladder!”Last month, Emily had taken a retractable ladder, and climbed up to the building next to Mabel’s house. There was a distance of five meters between that building and Mabel’s apartment. After the ladder had been set up, it could be placed between the two buildings, acting as a bridge.Emily had not only meticulously planned her use of the ladder, but had gathered food and water as well, which she had hidden on the rooftop. On April 23r

“I’m here to investigate, not to take evidence!” Liam spoke bluntly, “Why would I need gloves? Don’t worry, your daughter’s not Sherlock Holmes. She won’t notice!” As he finished, he ignored the old woman’s protesting and grabbed one of the book off of the shelf. The book was about anesthesia. Liam flipped through a few pages, and saw that there were many notes in the margin.Emily’s handwriting was elegant and clean, with little flaws. Just from a quick glance, you would be able to tell that she was someone who was very careful and methodical.Liam flipped through a few other books, and they were all the similarly marked. He could not help but ask the woman standing in the doorway, “Does your daughter study medicine? How come she has so many books related to medicine?”“None, none at all!” The elderly responded assuredly, “But many years ago, she worked at a veterinarian office, and it was a pretty famous one too. Emily was their assistant! So she probably learned some stuff when she

Do you know where your daughter is?” Liam had a bad feeling about Emily and asked the old lady immediately, “How can I find her?”“Officer, I’ve told you everything that you asked, why do you still want to look for my daughter?” The old lady was still worried about the piano issue, afraid that Liam might add salt to her daughter’s wound.“Nothing much. We only need some information about her, so it’s not necessary that we find her! Liam showed her his police badge and spouted nonsense, “I’m just fulfilling my mission! The police are currently investigating something related to that piano competition. Who knows, we might be able to find the culprit who harmed your daugher!”“Oh…” The old lady pondered for a while and said to Liam, “my daughter should be with the performance troupe! Probably the City Cultural Palace performance troupe? When she left today, she told me she might be going to the countryside with the troupe tonight, and would probably be back after four or five days!”“Oh?

Without the small piece of finger, Emily’s hand couldn’t make a full recovery!” The woman paused for a long time before she could continue. Wiping away her tears she spoke, “When the doctors were doing the surgery to repair Emily’s finger, Emily’s father knelt in front of them, begging them that no matter what, they couldn’t let Emily’s hand be harmed, that she was the family’s only hope!“But…even then, the doctor told us after the surgery, that the joints in Emily’s finger had been severely injured, that she wouldn’t make a full recovery. Her middle finger’s ability to bend was severely affected! Do you know what that meant for a child whose entire life was piano? Being unable to bend her finger was equivalent to a death sentence! Upon hearing this, my husband had a heart attack and fainted right there! If it wasn’t for the emergency treatment, my husband would’ve left us then and there!”“Then what happened?” Liam asked for more details. On top of feeling pity for the child prodigy

Seeing the old lady so agitated, Liam was extremely curious. Something must have happened to the girl that year. Liam told her it was a very important matter, one that he urgently needed to understand, and hoped that the old lady would cooperate in the investigation. He even threatened her indirectly, saying that if she did not cooperate, he would have to personally ask her daughter when she came back.The old lady was very worried about her daughter hearing the word “piano.” After weighing the pros and cons, she could only tell Zhao Yu the truth.Liam had had many guesses regarding the girl prodigy’s sudden withdrawal from the competition; however, after hearing the story from the old lady, he realized that the matter was far more complicated than he had imagined!“Yes, my daughter Emily played the piano, and was even a piano prodigy well known in Denning County!” the old lady said with a heavy expression. “We only have one daughter. Her father and I spent our entire fortune on her.

Fearing Elyon would solve the case before him, as Liam worked on finding the girl, he never stopped listening in on Elyon’s conversations. The invisible eavesdropper had an effective period of forty-seven hours. There were still a lot of time before it wore off.According to the information from the eavesdropper, Elyon had already realized her investigation direction could be wrong, and was currently looking for a new direction. Team B had also already guessed the possibility of revenge for the motive. There were even some who mentioned the word “piano.” If the continued like that, they would surely catch up to Liam.“Holy sh*t!” Hearing the information from Team B and seeing the address on the map, Liam could not help but be a little nervous. He was not sure if his new evidence would actually help him find the culprit.Apparently, the address Jasper helped Liam find was Aetheron City HY District, Golden Temple Number 53. This address did not seem like much, but to Liam who was famili
