Unknown Intrusion

Chapter 40: Fabricating Evidence (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader AD 1)

"Exploring new islands, just like something he would do."

"My father was a good captain and never lacked a spirit of exploration."

“My father took a gamble, which is why he sacrificed himself, and the mysterious lady even gave me the invitation—it was money to buy his life, or rather, compensation.”

"Could the so-called mysterious lady be Song Qiongyao's mother, or the mysterious figure behind the Song family?"

A soft sigh echoed from the boy's lips.

"Xu Cheng is a nobody, and what he knows is very incomplete."

"But that's enough to piece together the truth."

"When the Song family discovered the new island, my father was willing to risk his life to search for it for the sake of my family."

"Could it be... because of that quota?"

It feels like this is the truth.

"Perhaps, with this spot, I can learn magic and become a magic student."

If that's the case, then it's understandable.

Judging from the spellbook given by Song Qiongyao, this world has spell learning materials, patent laws, anti-copying magic, small workshops, and commerce... The magical civilization is quite advanced, no less advanced than the science of my previous life.

No, magic science is the "science" of this magical world.

Therefore, it's understandable for a father to risk his life for his future.

Su Yu continued to recall the natives' memories, his brows gradually furrowing.

"Huh? The success or failure of the Song family depends on the search for and development of the new island. This is a major event. Why don't I remember it before?"

"Even if the natives don't care about national affairs, the Song family should pay attention to Father's work, right?"

"Why is my memory unclear, and why do I only gain insight after Xu Cheng's letter reminds me?"

"All I remember is that the Song family failed; even if not completely, they certainly failed by a large margin."

"As far as I remember, Song Qiongyao eventually married a nobleman, but she died before the marriage actually took place. It seems that the Song family was not prominent at the time, but rather somewhat impoverished?"

"Or perhaps she shouldn't marry into a noble family; wouldn't that be marrying down?"

Su Yu suddenly felt a little unwell and wanted to vomit. Unconsciously, he shifted his thoughts and a flash of inspiration came to him.

"A new island, it must be a new island... The Song family discovered it and started developing it, and Father is taking a gamble on it."

"The boss, for the sake of his bloodline, or perhaps for the benefit of Niijima at the same time, took action. It's highly likely that Niijima laid an ambush—especially after the search was completed!"

"Could this be the truth?"

"In that case, it's understandable that my father owes 300 gold coins."

"According to the ledgers and letters, Father did indeed borrow 300 gold sea dragons from Flying Whale Flag, and the interest rate was not low. He must have really been short of money temporarily, probably to upgrade his equipment."

Although the money in the Flying Whale Flag is somewhat shady, this one thing... is true.

Su Yu had to admit that this was very likely the case.

"System, display tasks."

Without further hesitation, Su Yu lowered his gaze and saw a point of golden light that rapidly expanded into a faint white light floating in his field of vision.

A white box appeared, with a line of bright red text below it.

[Saving the Father]: Saving the father means saving the ship.

The bright red color of the handwriting was even more intense than the last time I saw it; just looking at it made me feel as if a bitter, metallic taste was rising in my mouth.

The hourglass slowly lit up, and a white box appeared on the right, showing a list.

The entire screen resembles a formula diagram filled with complex symbols, giving the impression that there is a complete set of exclusive writing rules.

There are several gaps around it, which need to be filled with raw materials.

The truth behind the shipwreck

Su Yu revised and edited his guesses before filling them in. At that moment, a flash of white light appeared, and the screen changed.

"On May 6, 1855 (according to the Gregorian calendar), in just three days, you uncovered the whole truth about the shipwreck and collected compelling evidence!"

Then, a white light appeared on the left.

"Success."

His gaze drifted to other empty spaces.

"Song Qiongyao's favorability is still 5 points away."

Su Yu had considered dating, but if he actually proposed, it would be impossible for it to work out!
Not to mention, Su Yu was also unwilling, so there was only one path left.

"If you don't have enough goodwill, you'll have to make up for it with resources."

"As long as we keep causing trouble for the boss, the ashes will definitely appear!" "As for the evidence!"

Su Yu seemed to be deep in thought. He took out the account book that had been searched from Wu Lang's house from his pocket and stuffed it into Xu Cheng's bookcase.

"If you have no evidence, I'll create it for you."

"I believe the Night's Watch will search and find it."

"really!"

At the slightest thought, the illusory golden hourglass reappeared, with much more ash at the bottom.

"I've gained a full 50 Sennas!"

"Does this mean that the changes I made were very significant?"

Su Yu's eyes lit up. After thinking about it carefully, it made sense. First of all, the creditor was not Wu Lang, but Feijingqi or the boss. With Wu Lang dead, the Su family would not have any trouble in the short term.

"But whether Wu Lang lives or dies is not important, after all, he is just a nobody."

The boss and Flying Whale Flag will definitely send someone to collect the debt. If they don't pay, there will be legal problems.

"After all, these are legal bonds!"

"But now, things are different when it comes to a major case of a missing girl. What will the night patrolmen think if they find illegal evidence?"

"Boss, do you think you can shift the blame this time?"

"Boss, if you have so many problems, do you still have time to target me?"

Now, thanks to the prophet, Su Yu has pinned the blame on the Flying Whale Flag.

It should be noted that the account books found in Wu Lang's house, even if they were written vaguely, contained a lot of clues about the flow of funds in extortion, smuggling, and even human trafficking!

The night watchman was tough; even without the clues provided this time before his rebirth, he still managed to uncover the truth.

However, the boss cut his losses in time, avoiding further damage and also avoiding a period of intense scrutiny.

"Now, the night patrol will be able to trace it back to the boss very quickly."

"Hehe, you think you can clean it all up this time? I doubt you'll have enough time," Su Yu said softly, a sense of satisfaction welling up inside him.

This change is quite significant.

Subsequent changes may have a cascading and significant impact.

"As for the boss, besides my family... he may be plotting something else. In most cases, besides Shinjima, it might directly harm the Song family."

He has evidence because Song Qiongyao died in a previous life.

She is Song Shuying's only daughter.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Su Yu frowned deeply and shook his head.

“This could involve a power struggle in Blackshire, which is too far removed from me and too dangerous!”

After taking one last look around, Su Yu got up and left. His figure quickly swept over the wall and headed into the alley, but after only a few steps, he suddenly darted into a corner and held his breath.

In the darkness, several men carrying gas lamps arrived. In the light, they could be seen wearing black suits and holding standard black batons...

They are the Night's Watch!

Su Yu broke out in a cold sweat. If he hesitated any longer, he might run into them, and then he would have no way to explain himself.

The sound of a key turning in the lock, and the thud of footsteps on the floor from inside, were quite loud. A light came on, and the night watchman was indeed different from Su Yu, who was sneaking around. He was very open and aboveboard. After waiting patiently for a while, Su Yu boldly moved closer and listened carefully.

There were sounds of rummaging inside, probably played quite loudly. After a short while, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Captain, look! These letters and account books!"

Then came the loud sound of pages turning, followed by a slightly excited male voice.

"Human smuggling?"

"This might be the missing female student. All of you, take all the books and materials with you and check them when we get back!"

Su Yu shook his head upon hearing this. The four girls, including the female teacher, were not involved in human trafficking. He suspected it was something like a blood sacrifice because the corpses were gruesome.

The natives themselves did not see it, but it was rumored that the bodies had lost a lot of blood and appeared strangely shriveled, with traces of candle wax burns on their surfaces—corpses that had been drained of blood, even if they were young girls, were terrifying and had no beauty whatsoever.

It is said that many people who watched it at the time vomited.

“But once the boss is suspected, that’s enough. I can’t interfere or get involved anymore—I’m already very close, and I’m about to be noticed and discovered!”

"Now, let's see what the official response is!"

Su Yu stopped listening and quietly turned to leave.

Almost simultaneously, the captain of the Night Watch let out a soft "Huh," frowned, put down the documents, and looked at the courtyard and the street.

The courtyard and streets were quiet, without the slightest sign of anything amiss.

　Yes, the new book is aiming for the top of the charts, so please vote for it! Whether it's monthly tickets or recommendation tickets, don't save them for later!
