Episode 688 Interrogation
There are several suspects for the crime.
Since we don’t know who they are, we need to gather potential candidates and then filter them out.
‘Lee Jun-seok was also one of the suspects.’
At first I was skeptical.
It was also a common reason.
It’s the same as the police treating the person who reported the incident as a suspect.
Just as I suspected Fabio, it was natural to suspect Lee Jun-seok, who was in the alley at the time.
He probably knows that too.
That’s why I was so clever, I said I saw someone impersonating me.
In fact, attention was drawn to that direction.
‘It could be that he’s just lying, or there’s someone pretending to be me.’
If it’s the latter.
‘There must have been at least two people who carried out the attack.’
It meant that there was an accomplice.
This guy is not to be underestimated.
Dragon-led.
Why Lee Jun-seok of all people?
The reason was clear.
The members, including me, have never actually met Lee Jun-seok.
Of course, there is no information about his appearance, nor do we know his voice or characteristics.
That’s why he showed up so confidently.
furthermore.
[Lee Jun-seok]
-Maximum number of climbs: 96 floors.
-President of the Pujing Union fan club!
-Cannot read all information.
‘Even the information was copied.’
From his name to the fact that he is the president of the union.
I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the back.
If I had only believed in authority, I wouldn’t have doubted it.
‘It was a good thing I tried it just in case.’
I tried it because I knew the culprit had the ability to disguise himself.
The guild that killed Lee Jun-seok’s older brother is not the Blue Dragon, but the Nine Dragons.
Maybe Lee Jun-seok gave him wrong information.
An arrangement prepared so that the conversation can reveal that the guy is a fake.

Lee Jun-seok only helps until the end.
-Tuk, tuk.
I tapped my fingers.
The worries deepen.
I’ve been trying to find worshippers through power, but this is what I got.
How is this possible?
I couldn’t see the Gartido information either, but that was because the information was contaminated by the guy’s power.
The only things that can be copied with powers or skills are appearance and voice.
‘You copied it this perfectly?’
So much so that it completely deceives my authority?
No matter how much I think about it, it’s impossible.
I need time to think.
“I’ll take a break. The others will need more time to investigate.”
“I won’t disturb you, then.”
The guy bows and leaves the room.
I watched the scene and let out a small sigh.
Lee Jun-seok.
To be exact, it’s fortunate that we found the guy who transformed into Lee Jun-seok.
‘Where is the real Lee Jun-seok?’
This is important.
It shouldn’t end with simply finding the culprit.
We need to find Lee Jun-seok.
I don’t know if he’s still alive or dead.
“I’ll be alive.”
“Yeah.”
Because the guy is never weak.
It was a kind of belief and a personal wish.
I took a deep breath.
It feels like my hot brain is cooling down a little.
Let’s be cool.
It is true that I entered the 96th floor.

So that fake guy must have also transformed into Lee Jun-seok.
Even now, it would be a good idea to subdue him and extract information.
‘That won’t do.’
Right now, I am one of the suspects.

In this situation, attack Lee Jun-seok?
Whatever the truth, you could be accused of being the culprit.
But there is no way to prove his identity.
Because it’s impossible to convince the guy that he’s giving false information.
I just misspoke. Or, if I just insist that I never said that, my words will be less credible.
Even if you try to touch it half-heartedly, you’ll only get a backlash.
And there.
‘Once they know that I’ve figured out his true identity, the other worshippers will move too.’
From the perspective of the worshippers, top hunter worshippers would be an important resource.
But that doesn’t mean you can just spend time there.
Even if Lee Jun-seok were alive, we don’t know what the situation would be like.
If there is any serious injury, it is best to rescue them quickly.
I turned on the community.
Of course, there is no writing by Lee Jun-seok.
Because I won’t have the strength to do community work.
I looked through the writings he left behind, wondering if he might have left some traces.
-[Lee Jun-seok]: The 96th floor. I’m really touched!
-[Lee Jun-seok]: I would like to have a personal conversation with Evil Eye.
-[Lee Jun-seok]: I will treasure Ophelia’s gift.
-[Lee Jun-seok]: Petite! Love! Peace!
-[Lee Jun-seok]: The lawless zone is dangerous, so I will go to the back door of the safe zone.
“back door?”
I was able to discover one suspicious piece of writing.
I wanted to take a closer look though.
[This chat room does not exist.]
The chat room disappeared.
It means that the person who created the chat room deleted it.
That has now been deleted too.
Given the circumstances, it seems like he was the last person to see Lee Jun-seok.
“That person is someone you haven’t added as a friend.”
If not, you can just exchange private messages.
An unknown person contacted Lee Jun-seok.
I opened a private message.
[Petit Gongdu]: Lick! Hot! HOT! Lick!
[Licks the crown of your head]: What? Why? Again? What? Do you want to lose?
[Petit Gongdu]: Is the interrogation going well?
Advertisements
[Licks the crown]: Yeah, it’s almost done.
[Petit Gongdu]: Then… Gongdu, please do me one favor♡ (wink)
[Lick the crown]: … I often feel this way, but you really are a great kid.
[Lick the crown of your head]: Shut up and get to business.
[Petit Gongdu]: Lee Jun-seok was hit. The Lee Jun-seok we have now is fake and was last seen at the back door of the safe zone. Please check.
There was no answer.
I think it probably went right there.
I was going to be with the bald man, so I talked about Lee Jun-seok… … .
Well, I guess you didn’t tell the bald man.
Because if I say anything, there’ll be chaos right away.
“I’ll tell Nyangpun first.”
I’m watching the fake Lee Jun-seok.
Soon the members who were interrogating us to identify the suspect and the other guys will return.
There are two ways I can move freely.
Catch the culprit or something.
‘Or prove that Lee Jun-seok is fake.’
I was lost in thought for a moment.
Soon a not-so-bad method occurred to me.
* * *
The members gathered.
When I questioned people, some of them said they saw me at the same time and place during the festival.
This revealed that there was someone impersonating me.
“This is what a suspect looks like.”
Excluding those with solid alibis, there are a total of five people left.
These were people whose whereabouts were unknown when the raid took place.
Two climbers.
There are three NPCs.
“No, I was in the bathroom at that time!”
“Is it a problem to stay at home?”
“Oh, that’s funny. I was just out of town taking a walk.”
Those who say they are all being treated unfairly.
Whatever.
“Let’s take a look.”
I used my power.
First of all, we have to catch the culprit here.

[SSS-class power, the eye that gazes upon the stars is unleashed.]
At least in this regard I am an expert.
I looked through the information one by one.
There was no information about the worshippers.
instead.
[Mid Scarlett]
-NPC on the 96th floor.
-The information cannot be read.
The NPC who was hiding the information was discovered.
“Please search for that person.”
“Why? Why are you searching for me! Who are you!”
“Hahaha! Just wait a minute.”
“Please understand that we are looking for the culprit.”
He struggled but could not overcome the strength of the bald man.
Since Tekid, the head of the safe zone, also gave permission, there was no reason to stop it.
“Damn it!”
The bastard immediately took a dagger out of his bosom.
There was no sign of hesitation.
Rather, he brandished his weapon as if he had wanted this situation to happen.
The destination is the bald man next door.
“The safe zone is our home, climbers!”
“Oh my.”
A bald man who slightly twisted his body and dropped his sword.
Then he rotated and struck the body with a blow.
“Khaaaaap!”
He gets hit in the face and collapses.
The guy with his head on the floor clenches his fist.
“Have you all forgotten Fabio’s atrocities? Have you already forgotten how many NPCs died at his hands?”
NPCs flinch at his shout.
Although it was a result of each person’s circumstances and misunderstandings, there were definitely victims.
That’s the part that was picked on.
split.
An act that seeks to sow discord between NPCs and climbers.
The bald man also knew about it and tried to come forward, but was stopped.
Let it happen.
He said it with the shape of his mouth.
“Should I give this place to you? It was originally built for climbers. Yeah! That’s true.”
Advertisements
The guy suddenly raised his head and looked around at the people.
“But why! Why do we have to be the only ones who have to suffer? Whereas the other safe zones do nothing, why do we have to be the only ones who have to suffer the deaths of so many of our neighbors at the hands of Fabio!”
NPCs look at each other.
Yeah, you might have some complaints.
There are five safe zones, so it would be a shame to give up only this one.
“If we have to make concessions, shouldn’t the climbers be the ones to do it? This is our home, but they’re just passing through! There’s no need to give them permanent residency!”
It was incoherent and just a bunch of complaints, but the message was clear.
Some might agree with what he says.
He said, looking down at him.
“Is that why you attacked Fabio and Noble Knight?”
“It is just revenge.”
“Fabio may be able to do that, but what about Noble Knight?”
The reason he made a fuss.
The worshippers want division.
That’s why it touches on the grievances that NPCs feel.
Conversely, climbers tend to adopt an attitude that may create ill feelings towards NPCs.
I could kill him before he even says anything.
But then you’ll incur the resentment of NPCs.
Because it looks like you killed the NPC without proper verification.
That’s why we had a conversation.
“He’s also a climber… …!”
“Look everyone! This guy is the one who killed the climber!”
First of all, it confirmed that the guy was the culprit.
This gave me a reason to punish him.
“And you are using your personal grudges and beliefs to create discord between the climbers and the NPCs. There is no logic to what you are saying.”
Now there’s a way to expose how ridiculous and absurd his words are.
Because you can just break everything he says.
“A grudge against Fabio? There could be. So it’s understandable to attack him. However, he was also a victim and lost a comrade. Those who hold grudges should negotiate directly.”
I looked at the guy.
“Are any of those killed by Fabio related to you?”
“All NPCs are neighbors.”
“So that means none. Has anyone seen the NPCs who sacrificed interest and money being close to each other?”
I looked at the public.
Just blink.
“Well, I didn’t even know there was a person like that here.”
Advertisements
“I don’t know.”
Ugh.
He’s gnashing his teeth.
“You said it was unfair that only Peace Land was given as a safe zone. Then wouldn’t it be reasonable to negotiate with other safe zones?”
I looked at the Tekid.
“Are you the representative of Peace Land, to the point where you can move without even asking the will of the people here?”
No, I don’t think so.
The head of this place is Tekid.
I crouched down in front of him and searched through his arms.
I resisted and shouted for help, but the gazes of those around me were cold.
The bald man caught the guy and quickly searched through his belongings.
“I guess this is how I killed the Noble Knight.”
“Yeah. I killed him!”
Inside was a dagger and a thread made of metal.
These are items that match the traces found at the scene and Fabio’s testimony.
“But that’s strange.”
Boohoo!
I ripped off his shirt.
Although his body had quite a few scars.
“Isn’t that the tattoo Fabio mentioned?”
English lettering tattoos did not exist.
This guy was bait in the first place.
To be exact, a worshipper who is willing to die.
A discard pile to cut out when things go wrong.
“No matter how I look at it, it doesn’t seem like you have the ability to kill the Noble Knight and take down Fabio.”
I kicked the guy with my foot.
“You said the culprit was disguising himself as me. Would you like to try disguising yourself as me?”
Of course, transformation was impossible.
The guy who had been rolling his head and rolling his eyes opens his mouth.
“…I have never disguised myself as you.”
He’s the guy who said he was the culprit.
He must have been instructed to do so by his cult group.
If it is revealed that he can’t transform and has no fighting ability, it’s like declaring that he’s not the real culprit.
That’s why I was making excuses like that.
That’s what I wanted too.

“There are so many people who saw the criminal impersonating me? Lee Jun-seok, who was at the scene of the attack, also saw it.”
He looked at the fake Lee Jun-seok with the corners of his lips raised.
“If what you said is true, then Lee Jun-seok was lying?”
People’s eyes are focused on Lee Jun-seok.
From now on is important.
Drive the guy in.
“Lee Jun-seok, did you lie?”
You have to answer well.
