I Forged the Myth of the Ancient Overlords
Chapter 904 - 904 903. I am not the murderer

Chapter 904: 903. I am not the murderer Chapter 904: 903. I am not the murderer Cui Siter had not expected Lu Ban to admit it so generously.

He glanced at the information Chen Danshen had adjusted.

Lu Ban had mental issues due to the death of his parents and had been recuperating at the Jiangcheng Mental Health Center for a year, only recently being discharged.

Although one can’t say that all mental patients are potential criminals, problems can easily arise in interactions with these special groups, which is why the police had information on Lu Ban for just such emergencies.

“Do you think I’m a mental patient and that everything I said just now was a figment of my imagination?”

Lu Ban asked.

“Uh…”

Cui Siter glanced at Lu Ban’s treatment records, which indeed had a label for severe delusional disorder.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that Lu Ban just mentioned details only the police could know, Cui Siter would have suspected that Lu Ban had come to them in a delusional episode, looking for amusement.

“Boss, I’ve got an idea.”

From the side, He Youwu suddenly raised his hand and said.

“Go ahead.”

Cui Siter signaled him to speak.

“I’ve heard of some people having such good memories that they remember everything, even things they didn’t pay attention to. These memories are automatically processed in their brains, forming some deductions.”

He Youwu glanced at Lu Ban and spoke with solemnity.

“Sometimes, they can make very reasonable deductions and even predict the future through various memories they weren’t even aware of.”

“Maybe this Brother Lu Ban has a similar ability.”

His words nearly convinced Lu Ban himself.

“Step aside.”

Cui Siter told He Youwu to sit down and not to talk nonsense.

“I am not the murderer.”

Lu Ban blurted out another statement unexpectedly.

“Normal people wouldn’t say it like that…”

Chen Danshen scratched his head.

“Because at the time of the previous incident, I was only about ten years old, and I didn’t meet the conditions for committing a crime.”

Lu Ban explained although he no longer had True Sight, he still had the ability to read people and expressions. From Cui Siter’s reactions earlier, he had gathered that the cases in this world were consistent with what he knew.

That was normal because here in the Illusion Realm, everything was constructed based on Lu Ban’s cognition. Cui Siter was a detective, so to him, here he was a police officer. As for He Youwu and Chen Danshen, their professions matched those in the real world as well.

Many familiar faces to Lu Ban were originally from the Foreign Domain, and if they wanted to live in a real city, changes were inevitable.

But some things didn’t change.

For example, Jiangcheng Mountain was indeed still near Jiangcheng City, these were details Lu Ban wouldn’t care about regardless of changes, as the real world and Illusion Realm didn’t need to differ in such aspects.

Of course, if Lu Ban decided to climb Jiangcheng Mountain, he’d probably only find some ruined temples and abandoned villages on it. The cave that sealed Fang Geng and Cui Siter’s remains would definitely be out of sight.

Similarly with the murder case, although there were some eerie elements involved, it wasn’t largely related to Lu Ban. If he hadn’t gone out shopping, hadn’t seen the news on TV, or hadn’t decided to get involved, none of this would have happened.

Therefore, the details of the murder case being exactly as Lu Ban recognized from the real world was also normal.

Hearing Lu Ban’s words, Cui Siter checked the dossier again.

In that villa area, about ten years ago, there indeed was a violent dissection murder case. A student living in the villa was the victim. The case was closed as a robbery-homicide since the villa’s property had also been robbed.

“If I’m not wrong, one of the culprits of the case ten years ago has been found, but he’s already dead. Another is still at large, and he is the serial killer in this case.”

Lu Ban added.

…

Cui Siter felt some craziness creeping in, even beginning to consider the possibility of He Youwu’s theory.

It was one thing for Lu Ban to be able to deduce some aspects of the case. But knowing all the details of the incident from ten years ago, including the situation of the bank robber involved later, was simply outrageous.

These were bits of information unknown to Cui Siter himself and were only understood after reviewing the dossier.

As Lu Ban had said, if Lu Ban had not been a child ten years ago, Cui Siter would have definitely suspected that Lu Ban was the culprit, coming to taunt the police and mislead them.

“If we believe you, believe in the clues you’ve provided, what will you give us?”

Cui Siter asked after a long silence.

“This serial murder case, the perpetrator must have committed other crimes, it’s just that the bodies have not yet been found.”

Lu Ban started off without pausing, he continued.

“As for why he wasn’t caught by surveillance cameras, it’s because he has a very reasonable identity that allows him to enter and leave crime scenes, that is, a property agent.”

Hearing Lu Ban’s words, the three police officers exchanged glances.

“The victim was going to book a rental for social gatherings. We’ve investigated the agent, and there didn’t seem to be any issues.”

Chen Danshen said, because it was indeed strange that the victim showed up there, they had questioned the agent showing the property but found no suspicions.

Of course, the property agent was normally frequenting that area; surveillance had captured him several times, and the police hadn’t paid special attention to that detail.

“Are you sure the property agent you found is the real one?”

Lu Ban asked.

Cui Siter recalled the investigation of the agent, which involved contacting the agency and the agent by phone. The whole process had no waves.

But now, thinking back, it seemed they hadn’t confirmed the identity of the property agent as the actual person.

Without changing his expression, Cui Siter silently took out his phone and sent a message to his colleague.

“What else do you know?”

While waiting for a reply, Cui Siter asked again.

“I think that if you investigate now, you’ll probably find that the agent has already absconded. And by the way, wasn’t the death of one of the victims from ten years ago particularly eerie?”

Lu Ban spoke calmly, after all, even in the real world, the murderer had not been caught and had fled in advance. It would not have been so had not later ganked Lu Ban, and they might never have caught him.

Moreover, the condition of the dead accomplice was also noteworthy as it resembled someone who had died after being corroded by an Evil God, making it hard not to think about the intervention of some Indescribable Great Being.

This was also the reason Lu Ban now believed that this case might involve some of the fundamentals of the Illusion Realm.

“Indeed, he clawed his own throat out and committed suicide. He had been dead for several days by the time he was found.”

Cui Siter volunteered.

At that moment, his phone rang. Cui Siter answered, murmured a few acknowledgments, and his expression suddenly froze for a moment.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Lu Ban intently.

“The property agent has indeed gone missing.”
