Although many parts of the video were blurred, the readers were still able to infer what happened.

Replies were made at a high speed. Every time Roland refreshed the page, the replies he saw previously would be squeezed to the next page.

”Scum! Why did the recorder not kill this criminal?”

”Don't blame him. He doesn't know who the criminal is, does he? Besides, he has at least saved a girl. That's two coins. Tsk, tsk. He's truly generous. Two gold coins can be exchanged for twenty-eight thousand bucks in real life. Is it worth it to spend the money on an NPC?”

”Does anyone still regard the characters in the game as NPCs? Do you not feel anything different about such advanced technology?”

”Hehe, few players of this game are fools. It's been more than a month. Even the stupidest person should've realized something is wrong.”

”What's wrong with this game? The virtual cabin is not harmful to our health, is it? (kidding) In any case, the criminal should be executed. I definitely support the investigation.”

”Roland, find the criminal and kill him. I'll tip you in advance.”

”It's a shame that I'm too far away from Delpon, or I'd definitely help.”

Roland read the replies and finally found the information he needed.

”I've been a police officer for thirty years, and I've handled more than a hundred homicide cases. Here's my social media number: 24xxxxxxx.”

Roland immediately friended him. The guy was online. He asked, ”Roland?”

”That's me.”

”All right, I'll cut to the chase. I've watched your video three times, but since I was not there, I can only provide three pieces of information.”

”What are they?”

”First of all, the cave is not the crime scene but only a site for body disposal. Secondly, this is a serial killer. Based on my experience and the color of the bones, the person kills a girl every month. Thirdly, you have to protect the girl you saved. I don't think she saw the criminal, but it doesn't mean that she's not in danger.”

”Why do you think that the girl did not see the criminal?”

”The crime scene should be where the basket fell. The place was quite messy. I'm 80% sure that the criminal raped and attempted to kill her there. However, no clothes, blood, or semen could be seen in the video you posted, which means that the criminal cleaned the place carefully.”

”Are there no other ways to find the criminal?” Roland asked.

”In the modern day, we could gather the semen inside the girl and examine the biological information of the murderer. However, there are no DNA databases in the game world. If you want to find the criminal, you have to be prepared for a long investigation.”

Roland was slightly bummed after he read that.

Got it!

Roland thanked him. He was also surprised at the guy who played an immersive game at such an old age. It was quite impressive.

Roland calmed down as he read other replies. His anger was not gone, but had been temporarily buried.

After breakfast, Roland went to the boxing club to practice.

It had been almost a month since he joined the club. Now that he was familiar with the basic moves, he had started practicing with the coach several days ago.

As they practiced, the coach called a stop and stared at him in a strange way, ”You are slightly aggressive today.”
