I'm the mayor of a simulated ghost city

West District Police Station. Lu Yao went straight up to the second floor as if she was familiar with the place. She had a special seat in the office on the left side of the serious crime room.

Of course she named the special seat herself, because there were four seats in the entire office and she had sat in them all. The seat on the far left was the only one that did not rub her butt, and the angle of the backrest was just right for a comfortable half-lying position.

Sitting in his seat, Lu Yao took a stack of documents and signed and put his fingerprints on them.

The stern-faced police officer next to her saw her sign one, and took one away with an expressionless face.

"Okay, after you sign, we'll deliver it directly to your home once the finance department allocates the money."

Seeing Hei Lian looking unhappy, Lu Yao smacked his lips and said, "Brother Hei, we are old acquaintances. I have seen you so many times, you should at least give me a smile."

Hearing this, Hei Lian still had a stern face and said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense. Who is your old acquaintance? Look at you, you sent us so many big cases in one week, and they were all important cases. I'm working overtime so hard that I don't even have time to attend my wife's 60th birthday."

Sixtieth birthday? Lu Yao leaned back and looked at the dark-faced forty-year-old.

Oh, this is popular now, age difference.

Just as Lu Yao and Hei Lian were joking, Shen Yucheng walked in with a stack of information: "Captain Hei, don't bother with her. Our workload is heavier, but the bonus is also higher."

"Officer Shen is still a man of great sense of justice." Lu Yao looked at Shen Yucheng and glanced at the information in his hand.

It says “Criminal case of VR pirated game sellers – Li Dahong case”.

"So that person's name is Li Dahong?" Lu Yao looked at the file and understood.

Shen Yucheng sat down at the table in front of Lu Yao: "You are amazing. You dare to buy pirated games without even knowing the person's name."

"It's just because you are young and ignorant and lack social experience." Lu Yao laughed. He couldn't say that she got herself into trouble for the sake of trying to gain a small advantage.

You are a social expert but still lack social experience?

Shen Yucheng shook his head and got down to business: "Student Lu, I'm talking to you about this case today because I want to ask you if you had any special experiences or behaviors before buying the game?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Yao was confused. "Your question is a bit broad. If you want to talk about special experiences, I am very special. I also do special things from time to time, such as helping an old lady cross the road, picking up a penny and giving it to the police uncle..."

"Okay, stop. I'd better make one thing clear." Seeing that Lu Yao was talking further and further away, Shen Yucheng hurriedly stopped her from talking.

Then, he said, "It's like this. We counted and found that Li Dahong has sold a total of 100 pirated discs. Among these 100 buyers, only you are still safe and sound, so we wonder if there is something special about you."

Well, not to mention being safe and sound, he is also extremely active and at the forefront of the path of justice!

After hearing this, Lu Yao understood that Shen Yucheng and the others were wrong in their guesses. In fact, it was not what she did before the purchase, but what she did after the purchase.

I guess the other ninety-nine players didn't take the system's warnings seriously, but she was different. She did what the system said.

But she couldn't say such things now.

So Lu Yao had to play dumb: "No, I'm just one of the common people, there's nothing special about me."

"Didn't you just say that you are special?" Black-faced man interrupted. Judging from this girl's ability to cause trouble, he would never believe that she was ordinary.

"I am special. Every girl is special. How dare you say that your wife, my sister-in-law, is not special?" Lu Yao said, subtly changing the subject. "Officer Shen, haven't you found out the source of his pirated games? He can't have done it himself."

"It certainly doesn't look like he did it himself. Our investigation revealed that he doesn't know how to program and can't make games. Moreover, he had registered that he had suffered from mental illness and had been treated in a psychiatric hospital."

"What, mental illness?" These three words touched Lu Yao's sensitive spot, and his reaction was a little bigger than before.

Shen Yucheng rarely saw Lu Yao like this, and paused for a moment: "What...what happened?"

"Nothing, someone I once knew also had this disease." Lu Yao regained her composure. She couldn't overreact every time she heard these three words. It had been more than ten years. "So what does this have to do with him and this game?"

"We didn't connect the two originally, but during our investigation, we discovered that an important person was missing from his social network, and that person was his attending physician at the time, Dr. He."

As Shen Yucheng spoke, he took out a photo and handed it to Lu Yao.

"Bang." Lu Yao's hand holding the water cup shook, and the cup fell to the ground.

Shen Yucheng was puzzled when he saw this: "What happened to you today? Did you stay up late again last night? Why are you so reckless?"

However, Lu Yao did not react for a while; she just stared at the photo in a daze.

The middle-aged man in the photo was wearing a white coat, had a flat head, large earlobes, and slightly sunken eye sockets. Although he was a decade older, he still looked the same as she remembered.

This was the doctor who attended her mother when she suffered from mental illness, but didn’t he die?

He died more than ten years ago!

Coming back to his senses, Lu Yao didn't want Shen Yucheng to see any big problems, so he asked casually: "What's so special about this doctor?"

"We found that Li Dahong and Dr. He had been in close contact for nearly a year, but it had been seven or eight years since Li Dahong left the mental hospital. Moreover, the documents issued by the hospital when he left showed that he had recovered and did not need to be re-examined. Dr. He had long since stopped providing psychiatric treatment."

Shen Yucheng paused as he spoke, and then mentioned a more crucial point: "Of course, the most important thing is that just one month before Li Dahong's accident, Dr. He disappeared from the hospital where he worked, and his whereabouts are still unknown."

Missing?

The time is so close and the relationship between the two is so close, so there must be a connection.

Lu Yao asked hurriedly: "Which hospital did he work in when he disappeared?"

"Wuxiang City Third People's Hospital, he is the duty director of the inpatient department."

Wuxiang City Third People's Hospital Inpatient Department! Her three-star system mission!

Wait, who's talking?

Lu Yao was concentrating on Dr. He's affairs for a moment, and then he realized that this sentence was not said by Shen Yucheng, but a soft and warm voice coming from behind him.

Turning around, Lu Yao was startled to see someone appearing behind the door.

"Ayan, come here, let me meet you." Shen Yucheng looked at the newcomer and greeted him warmly.

"Student Lu, this is the top brain expert Shi Yan, Doctor Shi, whom I told you to meet before."
