There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Chapter 173: Setting Up a Group Without the Intention of Actually Setting One Up Chapter 179: Chapter 173: Setting Up a Group Without the Intention of Actually Setting One Up The Capital Commandant glanced over the ordinary dagger, then set it aside, and continued to inspect the victim’s blood-soaked chest.

He lifted the blood-soaked left half of the overcoat.

The adjutant lifted his eyes to look at him.

Then, the Capital Commandant pressed on the hidden pocket on the upper left of the overcoat, and upon feeling a hard object, he directly reached in and pulled it out.

It was a bloodstained, gold and red emblem.

“This is…” the adjutant’s gaze sharpened, and his relaxed deanor beca serious, “The Radiant Corps of the First District?

Is this person from the First District?”

The Capital Commandant didn’t speak, his fingers caressing the hexagonal emblem, the blood staining his white gloves red.

...

The emblems of the corps from the Thirteenth District are oval, featuring a heavy sword, and the army is also commanded by the General Military Mansion.

But unlike the Thirteenth District, the military and governnt in the First District are integrated, with the Parliant fully in charge of the army, hence they are commonly referred to as the Radiant Parliant.

So, if soone from the Radiant Corps appears here, it must be an assignnt from the Parliant of the First District.

The adjutant, with a solemn expression, pondered and said, “People from the Radiant Corps wouldn’t appear here without reason.

We haven’t received any immigration applications recently…

Could he be the contact for the spy who stole secrets last night?”

The Capital Commandant suddenly looked up at him, “What makes you say that?”

They still hadn’t identified last night’s individual, but they had just received intelligence from a covert source that the two would conduct an exchange at the Five-star Hotel today.

But before the military could act, the Five-star Hotel called suddenly, reporting an unexplained death.

The military naturally wouldn’t let the police get involved at a ti like this, taking the matter into their own hands, especially since the sudden appearance of the incident in the hotel was suspicious, to say the least.

“So…” the adjutant said with conviction, “Could it be that our movents have been exposed, leading soone to take action first?”

“That should be soone bringing us the culprit.” The Capital Commandant said indifferently.

“What if the other party has another motive?” the adjutant continued.

The Capital Commandant didn’t respond, his brows and eyes lowered in thought.

At that mont, the hotel manager brought over the first two witnesses, and the Capital Commandant, sensing the movent, deftly pocketed the bloodstained emblem.

The maid stood timidly at the door, head bowed.

The fashionable woman adjusted her rabbit fur scarf with a face full of reluctance, brought in by the hotel manager, along with Manager Zhang from Tengxing Trading Company.

Manager Zhang was a slightly overweight middle-aged man, sporting a trendy slick back hairstyle, in a sharp black suit with a gold-plated pen on his left chest pocket, tall and robust, he had a commanding presence, and the woman leaning on him appeared even more demure and dependent in contrast.

Both were clearly dissatisfied, but facing the Capital Commandant’s icy, indifferent gaze, and glancing at the gun on his waist, neither dared to speak out.

“Xiaohe, the Major Commandant wants to ask you questions.

Just tell everything you know!” The hotel manager, not daring to scold the guests, addressed the maid directly.

“Yes, yes, yes!” The maid replied in rapid agreent.

She seed very afraid of the Capital Commandant.

After all, the Thirteenth District was essentially ruled by the military’s iron fist and, despite the fa of the Grand General’s title, the locals people might be even more wary of the decisive and deadly Capital Commandant.

He was the General’s knife, always striking true!

Suddenly, the woman scoffed and said, “What more could we know?

We just entered, and she was taking to the bathroom when we stumbled upon a person lying here.

Such bad luck!”

The adjutant raised an eyebrow, “You’re a guest in room 203, right?

I believe the rooms in the hotel are equipped with restrooms.”

“My man had the room card downstairs, I accidentally locked the door when I ca out, couldn’t get back in, and I also just wanted to use the toilet…” the woman said, her face showing a hint of discomfort.

“Yes…

that’s right.”

The maid also spoke up, “This lady asked where the restroom was, so I guided her there, and then we saw…

that.”

She cautiously pointed towards the corpse behind the Capital Commandant.

“Is that all you have?

Where’s the murderer?

Did you not see anything?” The adjutant, showing dissatisfaction, threatened, “This victim may be linked to a secret of our military district.

I advise you not to hide anything, because if sothing happens as a result, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

The Capital Commandant abruptly glanced at the adjutant.

Upon hearing this, the woman across beca angry, “What does your military district’s secret have to do with ?

Am I to be blad just for passing by?!”

The adjutant sneered, “Just passing by doesn’t require you to bear responsibility, but not reporting what you know is another matter entirely.”

“Are you threatening ?!” The woman glared angrily, then turned and buried her head in the man’s chest behind her, whining plaintively, “Dear, look, he’s actually threatening .”

Manager Zhang gently patted her shoulder, soothing her with a couple of tender words, then glanced at the Capital Commandant, and looked toward the adjutant, who stood with arms folded and an air of arrogant certainty.

He said with a smile, “Please forgive us, sirs.

It’s the first ti this beauty has accompanied to the Thirteenth District, she might not quite understand the rules here.

But she indeed isn’t a liar; if she says she saw nothing, likely that’s the truth.”

His tone of speech beca slightly more assertive as he smiled at the adjutant.

The adjutant, with arms folded, tilted his head as he looked at them: “We can’t take Mr.

Zhang’s word as the only truth.

These two ladies, being important eyewitnesses, might face retaliation from the victim’s accomplices.

It might be better to leave them in our custody for protection.”
