Target, Cloud Lake

Then, Fatty quickly glanced at the information. It read: “Switch to chat on xx software.”

Fatty was very obedient and quickly downloaded the software. Then he saw a friend request, which he accepted.

A message quickly came through: “Accept Yunhu Lake's commission and act according to my instructions. I'll make you go viral this time.”

Fatty was completely confused and replied: “But I don't know how to investigate cases!”

“Just follow my instructions and you'll be fine. I've already figured out the case. Don't ask too much. Set off for Yunhu Lake this Friday.”

At this point, Fatty had no choice. He could only reply: “Okay, no problem, got it.”

In fact, Fatty wasn't stupid. He knew what he was doing, but could he refuse? Could he report it to the police?

Obviously not. If so, his little life would probably not be preserved. He didn't want to die.

After thinking for a while, he figured it out: “Anyway, I'm just going through the motions. Moreover, it seems the Adjudicator has already cracked the case this time. I just need to go and act as the spokesperson.

Hmm, looks like I can pretend to be awesome for a bit. Hehe, seems pretty good, hahaha...”

Then the two began to discuss the details. Of course, they didn't chat for long before switching to another software. It was very troublesome but also very useful.

Let me explain here that you shouldn't mythologize modern technology. Take online communication for example. In many cases, the police simply can't trace it.

Nowadays, there are countless software programs that allow private communication, at least millions if not tens of millions. Messaging apps like WeChat and QQ, dating apps like Momo and Youyuan, collaborative apps like DingTalk and Mengxue.

That's not to mention the private communication sections in gigantic sites like Baidu, NetEase, Taobao, and many more.

With so many channels for private communication, at least 10% are not real-name based. So avoiding or tracking down illegal records online is unrealistic. As long as the other party isn't stupid, you simply can't trace anything.

And that's not even using technological means. If those are employed, you can forget about finding any online clues.

Therefore, online scams and cybercrimes are countless, unstoppable, which makes complete sense - it's not an issue of police capabilities but of reality. No one can do it.

So the communication between Su Mo and Fatty was very safe with no way to trace it.

After half an hour, the chat ended. Fatty now also understood the whole case. He felt it was very magical that such crimes could even exist in this world.

At the same time, he became even more terrified of the Adjudicator - that such a magically designed crime could be figured out. He dared not have any other thoughts and obediently did as told.

After thinking for a bit, he remembered his only friend Su Mo and chuckled to himself: “Hehe, Brother Su, just wait to worship me from now on!”

Then he sent Su Mo a message on his phone: “Bro, you free this Friday? Wanna come with me to Yunhu Lake? I think this case is very difficult and I'm afraid the police can't crack it.

*sigh* As a righteous private detective, I have to step in. And I already have some ideas.”

The reply quickly came: “Really? I read about that case online, sounds pretty wicked.”

Fatty scornfully laughed: “This? No worries. I'll take care of it.”

In the archives, Su Mo looked at Fatty's message and sank into thought first: “Can this guy stop pretending to play games? Is this really okay?”

Then he replied: “Alright, see you Friday. We'll see your performance then.”

With a bit of manipulation, Su Mo neatly justified participating in this case himself. When the time came, Fatty would take the spotlight while he could complete his task smoothly without drawing much attention.

On the other hand, after buying tickets, taking on the commission, and preparing everything, Wang Fatty posted an announcement on his homepage:

"Everyone, a bizarre case with cruel means has occurred in Yunhu Lake. As a righteous warrior of justice, I cannot tolerate this.

So I've decided to step in. No matter how much difficulty or obstacles I encounter this time, I will definitely bring the murderer to justice. Don't worry about me, I've got this.

I ask all netizens to bear witness. I'm going all out this time. See everyone in Yunhu Lake!"

Looking at his post, Wang Fatty nodded satisfactorily. Very nice, just the kind of crusade manifesto he wanted.

Then his eyes shifted as he started pondering what outfit to wear. After thinking for a bit, he started searching online.

"Oh wait, didn't this case have a ¥1 million reward? Should I take it or not when the time comes?"

Suddenly, he thought of a very critical question and shamefully drooled.

In the archives, Su Mo looked at Fatty's message and smiled slightly. He replied via software: "You take it. Use it when you need it in the future. Consider it your remuneration."

Heaven knows if Fatty got any sleep that night. In any case, a lewd smile stayed on his face the whole time, accompanied by "Kekeke..." sounds.

That same night, Li Danting was on a phone call. She had just gone on vacation and was preparing to go out and relax.

"Xiao Lan, I'll come to you this Friday. You wouldn't not welcome me, right?"

The other end of the phone replied: "Danting, you finally came! Of course you're welcome, I've been looking forward to it for so long. What time is your ticket on Friday? I'll come pick you up."

"It arrives at 6 pm. I'll get to Yunhu Lake around 9 pm."

"Great! I'll take you to try Yunhu Lake's signature roast duck..."

After hanging up, Li Danting's smiling face just now regained its calm. It was late June now. School was out for summer break and she wanted to get out for a bit.

After thinking it over, she thought of her best friend from college, Hu Xiaolan, whose hometown was in Yunhu Lake. Xiaolan worked as an ordinary civil servant at Yunhu Lake's Land and Resources Bureau.

She had very complicated feelings recently, especially after what happened at the hotel last time.

She felt she was cheap - the man didn't love her and had taken advantage of her. But somehow, she just couldn't bring herself to hate him. She had gone and offered herself up, and deep down, she even felt a little happy.

After strongly condemning herself for a long time, she finally concluded: “I didn't really suffer a loss. Humpf, that jerk wasn't too bad looking. Tall and sturdy. And actually, he was...he was still very charming...”

Thinking this, her face suddenly flushed red as she scolded herself for being shameless. But then she continued thinking: “Does he...think of me?”

“Ugh, there’s no way that scumbag thinks of me, and even if he did, he definitely doesn’t have good intentions. I won’t ever see him again in this life... Yes, Li Danting will absolutely not.”
