When they opened their eyes again, Mia and Mi'er found that the two of them had appeared in a closed room.

"It's!"

Mi'er secretly raised her vigilance in her heart.

The game in Nola's holographic cabin requires players to confirm before entering each time, but this black-robed man actually transferred them here directly.

In other words, it must be an illegal means to skip the game pod agreement.

I tried to use my consciousness to call up the menu, and sure enough, the system menu didn't respond.

It seems that they are trapped here and unable to get out before continuing their mission.

The room is not big, one could even say cramped. There were two doors, one closed and one open, and inside looked like it was supposed to be a bathroom.

The body of a man hung from the ceiling, dangling. In the bathtub in the bathroom, an arm sticks out, creepy-pale, like the arm of a woman's corpse.

"Mike and Maggie are a young couple who were found dead in their apartment yesterday afternoon, please find out the cause of their deaths." The voice of the black-robed man rang out from all around.

"Once the cause of death is confirmed, you can move on to the next room."

"Shall we inspect the site, then?" After the black-robed man's voice disappeared, Mi'er said.

"Hmm." Mia nodded.

She circled around the hanged man and quickly said:

"It's a salaryman."

"Oh?" Mi'er asked, "So fast?" How can you see it? ”

"There are traces of a watch on the wrist." Mi'er looked at his right wrist, "Look, this piece of skin is obviously a little whiter than the surroundings, like the shape of a watch?" Obviously, it is because I have been wearing a watch for many years to go out to get sunburned like this. ”

"A dozen ties hanging from an open wardrobe are also one of the typical features. Because this type of person usually pays attention to how he dresses every day, he is unwilling to wear those inferior suits to reduce his style, and he cannot afford to buy multiple sets of high-end suits to rotate every day, so he has to rely on a large number of ties to ensure that his image changes. ”

"You understand." Mi'er complained.

"Of course, I'm the best at quickly identifying the social class of the target." Mia found the watch on the bedside table, with a delicate chassis holder underneath, "Look! I knew he had a watch. ”

"Hmm......" Mi'er reminded as she watched Mia slip her watch into her pocket, "This is the game." ”

"I know!" Mia's face turned red, and she forcibly excused herself, "I'm here to keep the evidence!" ”

"Is there a way to determine the cause of death?" Mi'er said.

"Needless to say? Hanged. Mia lowered the body from the noose and examined the other's neck bones and strangulation marks, "It must have been hanged." ”

Mi'er came to the bathroom, and sure enough, she saw a certain female corpse sitting paralyzed in the bathtub, with no wounds all over her body, only medicine bottles and small pills scattered in the bathtub.

It's a sleeping pill.

Carefully opening the mouth of the female corpse, Mi'er smelled a smell of medicine from it.

"I think I swallowed a lot of sleeping pills and died." Mi'er analyzed.

"So, the case has been solved?" Mia looked around and said, "Both of them committed suicide, right?" ”

"It's just part of the cause of death." The voice of the black-robed man sounded, "Would normal people easily choose to commit suicide?" The causes of death that you seek must not only include the factors that led to death, but also explain the causes that drove them to death. ”

"Then you didn't say it before!" Mia protested.

"I'll give out the rewards, and of course I'll set the rules of the game." The black-robed man didn't care.

Mia, Mier: ..................

"Actually, it's not hard to find. The room is so big, just search every corner carefully. Mi'er found a large number of scattered bills from the shoe cabinet next to the door, "water, electricity, gas, phone bills, and ...... Rent. Mainly the rent bills, the couple have been behind on rent for three months. ”

"I found their ledger." Mia pulled out a small yellowed notebook from under the pile of socks in the closet drawer, "I'll take a look." Well, this year their monthly income and expenses are decreasing, so maybe it's a problem with the family's finances. ”

"Huh?" Mi'er reached out and flipped through the ledger, "Did you notice?" Last year, they had two incomes every month, namely the salary bonus of the male host, Mike, and the salary bonus of the hostess Maggie. ”

"But from this year onwards, only the hostess has a salary. What about the man's salary? ”

"Could it be that it didn't happen?" Mia said.

"It's impossible, you look at the account book, the payday is fixed on the 10th of each month, and the income of the male and female protagonists are all recorded on the same day, it is impossible to make mistakes only in this half a year. Unless ......"

"He resigned!" Mia shouted.

"He's been fired." Mi'er corrected, "Look at his corpse, there is obvious beard stubble on his chin, it must have been a few weeks since he shaved. ”

"A man who cares so much about image that he will keep a dozen ties at home would forget to shave his beard? This is clearly unconscionable. Mi'er looked at the electronic calendar on the wall, flipped a few pages forward, and said, "Also, look at the calendar." ”

"Since January of this year, there are a lot of days marked in red on the calendar, and the memo basically says 'interview'. How can a person who voluntarily resigns change jobs without finding a good next home? Apparently dismissed by the company. ”

"From January to March, there were fewer and fewer days marked as 'interviews,' indicating that his job opportunities were also decreasing. Since May, there has not even been a single interview invitation, which caused him to have a nervous breakdown and give up taking care of his image. And, the accumulated bills and the overwhelmed family finances are likely to be the direct cause of the man's death. ”

"If you say that, I'll find out too." Mia continued to flip through the ledger and said, "In December last year, both the man and the hostess had salary income, but on the 21st, only the hostess's year-end bonus was credited, and the man had no income record of the year-end bonus. ”

"If you rule out the possibility that the company where the male owner works does not issue a year-end bonus, then the male owner was dismissed by the company in the same month before receiving the year-end bonus."

"That's what I thought too." Mi'er pulled out a stack of papers from the bookshelf, which contained the employment contract of the owner of the house, "You see, both of them are working in a company called 'Tomkin. Luxena Financial Firm's company is employed, the male protagonist is a software system engineer, and the female protagonist is a human resource management specialist. ”

"Therefore, since the hostess got the year-end bonus, the reason why the male owner did not get this income can only be that he was fired before that."

"Wait, you say the hostess is in charge of manpower?" Mia said incredulously, "So this Maggie personally dismissed her husband?" Marital discord? ”

"What are you thinking?" Mi'er said speechlessly, "This kind of thing is not for manpower to have the final say. If the boss wants to lay off employees, can the manpower be against the boss? It must be the boss who wants to lay off her husband! ”

"I understand." Mia nodded and said, "It's like Sister Nora is in charge of our team's finances, and if you want to advance your salary, you have to get her approval." But if I can convince Captain Asker, then Nora can't stop him. ”

"Your analogy is weird, isn't Sister Nora very talkative?" Mi'er said, sighing, "Even so, it would be cruel to ask a wife to dismiss her husband. ”

The two continued to rummage for other clues. Soon, Mia pulled out a pile of torn paper scraps from the trash can next to the cabinet.

"It's ...... Stickers? ”

"I know this." "It's letters cut out of a newspaper, and then put them together in order to form specific words and sentences, and glued to the letter paper to send out, so that you don't have to be traced by the other party because of handwriting problems." ”

"So what's written in the letter?" Mia became interested and began to try to restore the torn letter, "...... Intolerable...... Despicable...... Cursed ......"

"It's a threatening letter." Mi'er watched her restore most of her original content, and said, "It seems to have been sent by an employee she fired, calling her an inhuman bastard and threatening to kill her." ”

"Hey, but didn't you say that the layoffs were decided by the boss?" Mia said strangely.

"Different companies have different situations." Mier replied, "For example, the boss has set a layoff target for each department, and the manpower must achieve this goal, but the specific layoff has a certain amount of autonomy. ”

"In this way, the grievances of the laid-off employees will be transferred to the human body." Mia said thoughtfully, "Wow, that's sinister! Mi'er, how do you know so much! ”

"Watch the TV series of the workplace." Mi'er said, "Haven't you watched that "Bankruptcy White Collar"? ”
