Chapter 1230 - Werewolf Becoming the Detective (2/2)
The others nodded.
Oathkeeper, however, was a little worried. “If the dynasty can’t find the culprit, once you revivors appear, the dynasty will suspect you guys too. This isn’t good news.”
Beiger sighed and said, “So, we’re affected by the culprit too. We’ll have to be more cautious when we decide to go public.”
The people sighed and felt that the problem had just fallen down the sky out of nowhere.
…
In the Black Star Army Commander’s office, Han Xiao said in his chair. Virtual screens hovered before him, displaying the activities on the quantum network.
Over the past few days, he had been doing this to pay attention to the direction this matter was taking. He had witnessed the spark he lit spread like wildfire, affecting bigger and bigger areas. He felt more and more like a mastermind behind the curtains stirring up storms in the universe.
“This is probably going to be the norm for some time. The dynasty will not stop till they find the real culprit, it’s like a hornet nest.”
At this time, his communicator suddenly rang. He took it out. It was surprisingly a call from Tarrokov.
As he picked it up, Old Tar’s remote projection appeared in the room.
“Old Marshal, it’s been some time.”
Tarrokov nodded and said with a serious expression, “Black Star, I’ll keep things short. The dynasty needs your help now.”
“Go ahead.”
“Gaud has been missing for many days. The dynasty has already searched all the records of the area within a month’s duration before and after the incident, but we have yet to find any solid evidence. Therefore, the upper echelons have decided to form a task force especially in charge of this matter. The dynasty hopes to invite you to join as an expert, relying on your abilities to search for leads on the quantum network. What do you think?”
Han Xiao almost laughed out loud.
“Ahem, I’m the consultant of the three Universal Civilizations. This is my duty. I’m ready anytime.”
“Okay. The task force will gather online in a day’s time. If you can find any clue, the dynasty will reward you generously.”
Tarrokov did not waste any time. He pointed out a few more things and hung up the call right after. He had been busy as hell lately; he really had no time to stay for a chat.
Han Xiao put the communicator down and smirked.
As a werewolf, I successfully got others to believe I’m the seer and even got voted as the detective!
By inviting him, the mastermind, to investigate this case, anyone could be captured but the real culprit…
Furthermore, he would even join as an expert, meaning he had a lot of control over the direction of the investigation. With his capabilities, doing something without anyone noticing was too easy.
This way, he had more targets he could frame…
However, forging clues was still risky. Han Xiao planned to be cautious and see how the ‘suspects’ reacted.
While he was being secretly glad, a notification suddenly popped up on the interface.

Han Xiao’s expression froze, he was stunned.

Excuse me, I’m the one who did it. How can I still trigger this mission?
