Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 57 Having accomplished his task, he departed without a trace, concealing his merit and fame.

(Patch: Chapters 49, 50, 52, and 55 have been slightly modified. The new version adds the setting that the thug personally kicked Bai Jin, removes the description of not having a dog license, changes the mission reward to vary depending on the severity of the punishment, and adds the thug's plan to beat up Chen Baiyu and intimidate Aunt Zhang and her son the next day.)
Chen Baiyu considers herself a normal person.

Emotions may sometimes be extreme.

But it is precisely this occasional extremism that constitutes an important part of a normal personality; absolute neutrality and calmness are not normal.

As a normal person, he subconsciously fell into deep thought after his first experience of killing someone.

It's not that I think I'm wrong.

It's just that I inevitably have mixed feelings.

Even though he casually took one person away, Chen Baiyu didn't think he was a pervert, and he still felt that he was definitely not a ruthless killer.

He felt he had a reason.

Although they are not the same species, Bai Jin is truly considered family in Chen Baiyu's eyes.

Many older people and self-proclaimed normal non-dog owners may find it hard to understand, or even find the act of treating a dog as a family member absurd.

But the truth is that during the two years he was alone in a foreign land, this puppy had been with him since birth, and he had done his best to get all the necessary documents and vaccinations for the puppy.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

They're not family, but they're closer than family.

When I saw the thug condoning the wolfhound's attack on Platinum, and then showing no remorse and continuing to spout nonsense...

When he heard the thug on the phone first acting nonchalantly, then trying to shirk responsibility, and finally threatening his personal safety with a barrage of profanities, he was deeply moved.

He felt there was nothing more to say.

The phone call I made, which I intended to discuss the division of responsibility and the details of the follow-up handling, actually gave the other party an opportunity.

I offered you a heart of compassion, but you refused.

So next, it's time for swift and decisive action.

Chen Baiyu originally planned to settle the matter privately by putting a sack over the other party and beating them up to vent his anger.

But some people just can't understand reason.

Chen Baiyu was truly grateful for her abilities.

You can do what you can in situations where you should be powerless, and you have the opportunity to explain physics to people who don't understand the principles.

Although he initially came with the idea of ​​inflicting high-level paraplegia or turning someone into a vegetable, it wasn't unexpected that he would accidentally scare the other person to death during an experiment.

Chen Baiyu was completely unmoved by his death; at the very least, there was absolutely no way he would perform CPR to try and save him.

If this were a ruthless male protagonist from a fantasy novel, he would have already invited this thug and his entire family into the VIP room of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Even the remaining physical body will be put to good use.

Chen Baiyu simply watched life slip away silently, waiting for the possibility of his self-reboot to succeed. He didn't even wake him up to torture him in order to increase the mission rewards, which was merciful enough in a sense.

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu walked to the window.

I pulled back a corner of the curtain and looked out at the pitch-black night sky. There were still a few lights on in the neighborhood, and occasionally a dog barked.

Everything was just as it had been a few minutes earlier; no one knew that a "silent death" had just taken place in this room.

His emotions, which had been stirred by the "first blood," had now calmed down.

I had made thorough preparations before coming here, including contingency plans for the possibility of killing. Perhaps my extraordinary abilities had made me somewhat arrogant, and I had subconsciously planned to do so.
The quest called "The Punisher's Judgment" rewards different amounts of experience points depending on how severely you punish the scoundrel.

Perhaps, after seeing the mission, I subconsciously already decided that the little rascal's fate was to die?

In short, what's done is done.

Even if, theoretically, it only constitutes manslaughter plus failure to render aid, it is still considered manslaughter.

But in the end, killing is killing.

There aren't that many reasons.
From now on, his existence will become justified.

All his actions would be debated and explained by great Confucian scholars.

Perhaps due to the effects of the upgrade, Chen Baiyu was quite calm at this moment and quickly put an end to the complex thoughts in his mind.

He raised his hand to rub his temples, quickly going over the follow-up procedures in his mind.

With the power of Thousand Illusions.

There will be no fingerprints, hair, or other biological traces belonging to him at the scene. All that will be found is the bald, muscular man's biological data. When the police collect the data and compare it with the database, they will find that no such person exists.

There were no eyewitnesses at the crime scene, and the surveillance footage outside showed the image of a "bald, strong man," an image that will disappear completely tomorrow.

As for him, he has an alibi located far away in Chongqing. Furthermore, the petty thug was a lazy, good-for-nothing, and reportedly had no relatives left; even if he were dead, no one would bother to investigate him.

In summary.

There's a 99% chance I won't be caught.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Baiyu turned around.

Without looking at the corpse on the ground, he walked straight to the door.

Before opening the door, he took one last look at the computer that was still lit up.

The game screen remained on the death replay screen, as if silently mocking the farcical ending.

He pushed open the door.

The motion-activated lights in the hallway turned on in response.

Chen Baiyu hurried downstairs.

Upon entering the residential area, after leaving his mark on several surveillance cameras, he evaded them and reactivated the Thousand Illusions Mask's abilities.

The image of the bald, muscular man faded away, and he became a young man wearing sportswear.

The huge difference between their facial features and body shape.

Even professional criminal investigators would never recognize this as the same person as the bald, muscular man; this is something that simple disguise and collarbone manipulation simply cannot achieve.

Not to mention that if he deliberately avoids surveillance cameras, he is unlikely to be caught on camera.

Chen Baiyu simply put his hands in his pockets.

I strolled leisurely out of the residential area and into the night, preparing to return to my guesthouse in Chongqing.

He left quietly, just as he came quietly.

..........................................

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

The taxi slowly drove into the entrance of Jinxiuyuan residential area.

Chen Baiyu opened the car door and entered the residential area. When he passed Building No. 1, his attention was drawn to the crowd of people in front of him and the police cars flashing blue lights.

The yellow police tape formed a barrier, completely surrounding Building 1, and several uniformed police officers were standing beside the tape to maintain order.

Occasionally, forensic doctors and technicians wearing white gloves would enter and exit the apartment building, their expressions serious.

Although Chen Baiyu, who knew perfectly well what had happened here, was somewhat surprised that it had been discovered so early, her expression did not change.

He simply moved quietly to the back of the crowd of onlookers.

The crowd was filled with whispers; some people were secretly taking photos with their phones, while others were tiptoeing to peek through the police cordon.

Chen Baiyu mingled among them, his eyes seemingly casually scanning the scene, but in reality, he was quickly observing.

Technicians were using brushes to collect traces at the entrance of the apartment building. The laptop next to the police car seemed to still be showing the surveillance playback screen, but the details were too far away to see clearly.

His gaze quickly fell on two figures at the entrance of the apartment building: an elderly detective in plainclothes with half-gray hair, his hands behind his back, his brows furrowed, occasionally whispering to the person next to him; standing next to him was a forensic doctor in a white coat and a mask, holding a notepad, talking to the elderly detective with his head down, occasionally glancing at the crowd of onlookers.

These two people are clearly in charge of the site.

Chen Baiyu knew what was going on, so she didn't move any closer. She simply maintained a "spectator" attitude, using her extraordinary hearing to secretly catch the conversation between the two.

The distance was too great; only a few scattered words could be heard: "cause of death: cardiac arrest," "no obvious fatal injuries," "dog carcass," "bald head"...

He stood there for a while longer, watching the technicians lift the boxes containing the evidence into the police car.

He watched as the veteran detective took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and then slowly turned around.

As for the police tape, police cars, and the discussion between the two people in charge, they all became irrelevant background noise.

This farce began to turn the page the moment he turned and left.

Or rather, you can't avoid turning the page even if you want to.

Because the investigation is destined to be futile.

　The mission rewards for Chapter 52 have been modified and increased. The current mission rewards are: "100-300 experience points will be awarded based on the severity of the punishment, and different title rewards will be awarded based on the severity of the punishment."

　　,,,,,,
　　The protagonist's motives and logic for murder have been revised and supplemented: the thug is a foul-mouthed, violent scoundrel who has a history of assault and even burying people for a mob boss. During the conflict with the protagonist, he walked his large dog off-leash, allowing it to bite the platinum dog while laughing and joking, making no attempt to stop his dog. The protagonist then called the thug to try and reason with him, attempting to communicate as advised by the police. But what was the thug's reaction on the phone? First, he was indifferent; then he tried to distort the truth; finally, he threatened the protagonist with harming him and his dog. Upon meeting in person, he resorted to swearing.

　　Currently, there is hatred and conflict, rewards and incentives, and countless methods have been laid out to ensure absolute safety in concealing one's identity. Even the protagonist didn't intentionally kill anyone; he simply died accidentally during an experiment.

　　If you still think there are problems, I've added descriptions of the deep bond between Bai Jin and Chen Baiyu in this chapter, and that their attitudes have become subtly arrogant after achieving superhuman status. I've even revised the previous text to increase the mission rewards, remove the dog license issue, and add a scene where a thug secretly arranges to beat up Chen Baiyu, only to be discovered by her.
