After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 607 - 597: Unnamed Grievance

"Ah!!!!!!!"Screams instantly erupted at the wedding banquet, one after another, causing everyone’s ears to ring and frowns to form.

Xu Renfei swallowed and looked at the fallen and now dead Chang Xian on the ground. He then turned to Bi Xia, "A real NPC, huh? A sudden death, they’re really playing big now."

Rubbing his ears, Bi Xia quickly regained his composure, picked up a fried chicken wing and handed it to Xu Renfei, then grabbed another for himself. "Let’s eat first. They’ll call us if they need us. We need energy, right?"

Looking at the chicken wing in his hand, Xu Renfei nodded. Right, it’s not like it’s a real death anyway. It’s just a real person acting. Look, Mr. Li is even blinking his eyes.

So, the two went from initial shock to calmness, even clinking their wine glasses together and drinking.

"Pfft—"

Xu Renfei spat out the wine he just drank, "What is this!?"

Bi Xia swallowed his drink, glanced at Xu Renfei, and said slowly, "It’s probably Sprite mixed with water. The production team is really stingy."

"Forget it," Bi Xia sighed lightly, "Let’s just drink it."

Director Li: ...

Director Wu: ...

Ahem, we’ve been found out...

Mr. Li, pretending the corpse on the ground: ... Guys, I’m still dead here...

Miss Wang, who was crying uncontrollably, and Landlord Wang, who was comforting her, both paused. Landlord Wang got up, waved his big hand, "Someone, call the authorities!"

Xu Renfei finished his chicken wing and leaned towards Bi Xia, "Look, they’re calling the authorities. Should we just leave after we finish eating?"

Bi Xia nodded, "I think that’s doable."

Landlord Wang immediately stopped Bi Xia and Xu Renfei, "No way! Chang Xian died right in front of you two, and he asked you for help earlier. You have to stay. What if it turns out you killed Chang Xian?"

Landlord Wang helped Miss Wang to stand up, "Or, you could find the murderer who killed Chang Xian."

Xu Renfei curled his lips after hearing this, "Well, there’s our task. Suddenly we have to solve a crime, truly unexpected."

"Little Jiu’er~~~" Xu Renfei leaned against Bi Xia, whining, "They’re so annoying, falsely accusing us. They’re bad!"

Bi Xia patted Xu Renfei’s head, "Yep, they’re bad, the worst."

Landlord Wang: ...

"Alright," Bi Xia pulled Xu Renfei up, switching his sword to his other hand, looking at Landlord Wang with a blank face. His gaze suddenly fell on Landlord Wang’s arm that was supporting his daughter. His eyebrows raised, "Oh dear, Landlord Wang, you’re injured."

Landlord Wang coldly glanced at his wound, "It’s nothing serious, the murderer who killed Chang Xian tried to harm my daughter, and I blocked it."

"Oh!" Bi Xia nodded knowingly and smiled, "I see, it must hurt a lot. But Landlord Wang doesn’t seem to be in pain at all."

Landlord Wang said, "Maybe I was too worried about my daughter earlier, so I hadn’t felt it. Now it’s coming on."

Bi Xia just smiled without speaking, walked with Xu Renfei to Mr. Li’s side, and crossed his arms, "You know, the director really just makes it up as he goes along, staging this grand drama without considering that we have no experience in solving crimes."

Xu Renfei lightly touched his chin, "I’ve watched Conan, generally speaking, we should examine the body first."

Bi Xia nodded in realization, "Then let’s check it."

[Ding—Random Task: The Death of Mr. Li. Content: The originally wonderful wedding banquet suddenly turned into a murder scene. Mr. Li, the groom, died, and you, the suspect, must quickly find the murderer to clear your name!]

Bi Xia: ’That’s right, and there’s 007, you must know who the murderer is, right!’

007: [I can’t tell you, this is the task!]

Bi Xia: ’...Useful after the event!’

007: Feeling inexplicably wronged!
