Stuck in The Tower

Episode 688: Interrogation

There are several suspects as the culprit.

Since we don’t know who they are, we need to gather potential people and then weed them out.

‘Lee Jun-seok was also one of the suspects.’

At first I was skeptical.

It was also a general reason.

It is the same as the police making the person who reported the incident a suspect.

Just as I suspected Fabio, it was natural to suspect Lee Jun-seok, who was in the alley at that time.

He probably knows that too.

So I guess he was clever enough to say he saw someone impersonating me.

In fact, attention was focused in that direction.

‘It could be just a lie, or there could be someone impersonating the real me.’

If it’s the latter.

‘There must have been at least two people who carried out the attack.’

It meant there was an accomplice.

This guy is not someone to be underestimated.

Be cautious.

Why Lee Jun-seok?

The reason was clear.

The members, including me, have never actually met Lee Jun-seok.

Of course, there is no information about his appearance, nor does he know his voice or characteristics.

That must be why he showed himself so proudly.

furthermore.

[Lee Jun-seok]

-Maximum number of climbs: 96 floors.

-Pujing Union fan club president!

-I can’t read all the information.

‘Even the information was copied.’

From his name to being the president of the union.

I feel like I was caught off guard.

If I had just believed in the power, I wouldn’t have doubted it.

‘It was a good idea to stab it just in case.’

I tried it because I knew the criminal had the ability to disguise himself.

The guild that killed Lee Jun-seok’s brother is the Guryong guild, not the Blue Dragon.

Lee Jun-seok probably gave him wrong information.

Arrangements were made to reveal that he was a fake through conversation.

Lee Jun-seok only helps until the end.

-Tuk-tuk.

I tapped my fingers.

My worries deepen.

I’ve been looking for worshipers through the power, but this is what came out.

How is this possible?

Garti couldn’t see the information either, but that was because the information was polluted by his power.

The only things that can be copied with authority or skills are the appearance and voice.

‘You copied it this perfectly?’

To the extent that it completely deceives my authority?

Even thinking about cancer alone, it is impossible.

I need time to think.

“I’m going to rest for a while. “It will take more time for others to investigate.”

“I won’t disturb you then.”

The guy bows his head and leaves the room.

I watched it and let out a small sigh.

Lee Jun-seok.

To be precise, I’m glad I found the guy who transformed into Lee Jun-seok.

‘Where is the real Lee Jun-seok?’

This is important.

It should not end with simply finding the culprit.

We need to find Lee Jun-seok.

I don’t know if he’s still alive or dead.

“He’ll be alive.”

“Yes.”

Because he is by no means weak.

It was a kind of belief and also a personal wish.

I took a deep breath.

I feel like my hot brain is cooling down a little.

Let’s be cool.

Under the circumstances, it is true that he entered the 96th floor.

So, that fake guy must have also transformed into Lee Jun-seok.

It’s a good idea to subdue him now and get the information out of him.

‘That’s not allowed.’

Right now, I am one of the suspects.

Attacking Lee Jun-seok in this situation?

No matter what the truth is, you can be accused of being a criminal.

However, there is no way to prove his identity.

Because it’s impossible to convince him that he gave wrong information.

I just said it wrong. Otherwise, just insisting that I never said anything like that makes my words less credible.

Even if you touch it half-heartedly, it will only backfire.

Besides that.

‘If they find out that I have discovered his identity, other worshipers will also move.’

From the worshipers’ perspective, high-ranking hunter worshipers would be an important resource.

However, you can’t just waste time.

Even if Lee Jun-seok is alive, we don’t know what his situation will be like.

If you are seriously injured, it is best to rescue someone quickly.

I turned on the community.

Of course, there are no articles written by Lee Jun-seok.

Because I wouldn’t have the strength to do community work.

I looked at the writings he left to see if he had left any trace.

-[Lee Jun-seok]: The 96th floor. I am so thrilled!

-[Lee Jun-seok]: Personally, I would like to talk to Evileye.

-[Lee Jun-seok]: I will cherish Ophelia’s gift.

-[Lee Jun-seok]: Petit! love! peace!

-[Lee Jun-seok]: The lawless zone is dangerous, so I will go to the back door of the safe zone.

“back door?”

I was able to find a suspicious article.

I wanted to take a closer look.

[This chat room does not exist.]

The chat room has disappeared.

This means that the person who created the chat room deleted it.

That too has now been deleted.

Given the circumstances, it seems like he was the last person to see Lee Jun-seok.

“It means that the person has not been added as a friend.”

Otherwise, you can just send and receive private messages.

An unknown person contacted Lee Jun-seok.

I opened a private message.

[Petit Gongdu]: Lick! hot! HOT! match!

[Licking the top of his head]: What is it? why. also. what. Do you want to rummage?

[Petit Gondue]: Is the interrogation going well?

[Licking the top of his head]: It’s almost done.

[Petit Gongdu]: Then… please do me one favor of Gongdu♡ (frowning)

[Lick the top of the head]: …I know this often, but you really seem like a great bastard.

[Lick the top of the head]: Shut up and do your business quickly.

[Petit Gondue]: Lee Jun-seok was hit. Lee Jun-seok, who is here now, is fake and was last seen at the back door of the safe zone. Please check.

There was no answer.

I think he probably went right there.

Since I was going to be with the hair loss man, I talked about Lee Jun-seok…

um. I guess you didn’t tell the hair loss man.

If I tell you, there will be an uproar right away.

“Just tell Nyangfun first.”

I spy on the fake Lee Jun-seok.

The members being interrogated and others will return soon to identify suspects.

There are two ways I can move freely.

Either catch the criminal or not.

‘Or prove that Lee Jun-seok is a fake.’

I was lost in thought for a moment.

Soon, a not bad way came to mind.

* * *

The members gathered.

After interrogating people, it turned out that they saw me at a different place at the same time during the festival.

Through this, it was revealed that there was someone impersonating me.

“This is who appears to be a suspect.”

Excluding those with clear alibis, there are a total of 5 people remaining.

It was unknown where they were when the attack occurred.

There are two climbers.

There are 3 NPCs.

“No, I was in the bathroom at that time!”

“Is staying at home a problem?”

“Uh huh. This is ridiculous. “I was just out of town for a walk.”

Everyone says they feel unfair.

Either that or not.

“Let’s take a look.”

I used my powers.

First, we have to catch the culprit here.

[The SSS-level power Star Watching Eye is used.]

At least in this part, I am an expert.

We looked through the information one by one.

There was no information about him being a worshiper.

instead.

[Mid Scarlet]

– NPC on the 96th floor.

-The information cannot be read.

The NPC hiding the information could be found.

“Please search for that person.”

“why? Why are you searching me? “What are you!”

“ha ha ha! “Wait a moment.”

“Please understand that we are looking for the culprit.”

Although he struggled, he could not overcome the power of the Hair Loss Man.

Techid, the head of the safe zone, also gave permission, so there was no reason to stop it.

“Shit!”

The guy immediately took out a dagger from his chest.

There was no sign of hesitation.

Rather, he swung his weapon as if he wanted this situation to happen.

The destination is the bald man next door.

“The safe zone is our home, you climbers!”

“Oh my.”

The bald man lightly twisted his body and shed his sword.

Then he spun around and delivered a body blow.

“Khaaaap!”

It hits the solar plexus and collapses.

The guy with his head on the floor clenches his fist.

“Has everyone forgotten Fabio’s atrocities? “Have you already forgotten how many NPCs died at the hands of that guy?”

NPCs flinch at his shouts.

Although it was the result of individual circumstances and misunderstandings, there were clearly victims.

That part was pointed out.

split.

An act of trying to cause discord between NPCs and climbers.

The hair loss man also seemed to know this and tried to come forward, but was blocked.

Let it happen.

He said that with his mouth.

“Let’s give this place away? Because it was originally created for climbers? okay! “You are right.”

The guy suddenly raised his head and looked around at the people.

“But why! Why does it have to be just us? What about other safe zones? “They don’t do anything, so why should we be the ones to sacrifice ourselves when so many of our neighbors died at the hands of Fabio?”

NPCs look at each other.

okay. There may be complaints.

There are five safe zones, so it would be unfair to have to give up only this one.

“If they have to give in, shouldn’t the climbers do it? This is our home, but they are only passing by! “There’s no need to give me a green card!”

There were no words and it was just a shout of dissatisfaction, but the meaning was clear.

A few people might agree with him.

I said looking down at him.

“Did you attack Fabio and Noble Knight because you were dissatisfied with that?”

“It’s just revenge.”

“Fabio can do that, but what about Noble Knight?”

The reason why he made such a fuss.

Cults want division.

Therefore, it touches on the dissatisfaction felt by NPCs.

On the other hand, they have an attitude towards climbers that may cause them to have bad feelings towards NPCs.

You can kill him before he can say anything.

However, if you do that, you will get animosity from NPCs.

Because it looks like the NPC was killed without proper confirmation.

That’s why we talked.

“He’s also a climber…!”

“Look everyone! “This is the person who killed the climber!”

First of all, it was confirmed that he was the culprit.

With this, there was a justification for punishing him.

“And personal grudges and beliefs are driving a wedge between climbers and NPCs. “There is no logic whatsoever in his words.”

There is now a way to reveal how clumsy and absurd his words are.

All you have to do is stop everything he says.

“Grudge against Fabio? There may be. So it is understandable to attack him. However, he was also a victim and lost a colleague. “Those who have a grudge must negotiate directly.”

I looked at the guy.

“Are any of those killed by Fabio related to you?”

“NPCs are all neighbors.”

“It means there is none. Has anyone seen interest and the sacrificed NPCs being close?”

I looked at the public.

Just blink.

“well. “I didn’t even know people like that existed here.”

“I don’t know.”

Wow.

He grinds his teeth.

“They said it was unfair to give only Peace Land as a safe zone. “Then wouldn’t it be common sense to consult with other safe zones?”

I looked at Techid.

“Do you really represent Peace Land enough to move without asking the opinions of those here?”

Probably not.

Because the leader here is Techid.

I squatted down in front of him and searched his arms.

I resisted and shouted for help, but the gaze of those around me was cold.

The hair loss man caught him and immediately searched his belongings.

“It would be right to kill the Noble Knight with this.”

“okay. “I killed it!”

Inside was a dagger and a thread made of metal.

These items match the traces at the scene and Fabio’s testimony.

“But it’s strange.”

Boom!

I ripped off the guy’s jacket.

Although his body had quite a few scars.

“He doesn’t have the tattoo Fabio mentioned.”

English lettering tattoos did not exist.

To begin with, this guy is bait.

To be precise, a worshiper who deserves death.

A throw away card to cut when things go wrong.

“No matter how I look at it, I don’t think you have the ability to kill the Noble Knight and defeat Fabio.”

I gently pushed the guy with my foot.

“They said the culprit was disguised as me. Would you like to change your appearance to me?”

Of course, transformation was impossible.

The guy who was rolling his eyes and head opens his mouth.

“…I have never disguised myself as you.”

This is the guy who said he was the criminal.

He must have been instructed to do so by his cult.

If it turns out that he can’t transform and has no special fighting skills, it’s like declaring that he isn’t the real culprit.

So, I was making excuses like that.

It was also what I wanted.

“How many people have seen the criminal impersonating me? I also saw Lee Jun-seok at the scene of the attack.”

He raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the fake Lee Jun-seok.

“If what you said is true, then Lee Jun-seok must have lied, right?”

People’s eyes are focused on Lee Jun-seok.

Starting now is important.

Push the guy.

“Did Lee Jun-seok lie?”

You will have to answer well.
