Chapter 12 Luxury Apartments
"I've wronged you these past two days." Zhao Ming said to Paton, "I got my identity certificate and rented an apartment. It has a big place and a good view. It has a two-story duplex structure."
"Good, it's really bad here. By the way, you just said 'identification'? Are you not a police officer? How come you don't have this?"
Uh... I've let it slip. As expected of a prosecutor, he is really sharp.
"Okay, you caught me. I'm actually not a policeman, I'm an illegal immigrant. But I still saved you, right?"
"But you also lied to me, so...offset, don't expect me to be grateful to you. Now, let me see the forged identification that Martin gave you."
In fact, Zhao Ming didn't know how authentic the identity certificate Martin gave him was. Although the rental went smoothly this time, it would be good to let professionals take a look.
"This driver's license is fake."
Paton took Zhao Ming's driver's license and saw something wrong with it at a glance.
Let me rub it, are you so sharp that you can see the problem right after you get started? Zhao Ming's face turned dark.
"This numbering rule is wrong. There is no anti-counterfeiting mark here, and here..." Paton continued to attack Zhao Ming.
"No, I used it to rent an apartment. How could it be fake? Is the apartment manager a fool?"
"Oh, no, of course I'm not stupid. It's just that the price you paid is high enough and you don't have any tattoos on your body, so they pretend not to notice that you are using a fake ID."
Patton looked like "I'm so happy that you were slaughtered" and said with a smile.
I see!
Lovers have long known that he is an illegal immigrant, but for the sake of money, they turned a blind eye.
Forget it, the house has been rented anyway, I just spent a little more money, I have plenty of money...that's weird.
"By the way, the system, my house has been rented, why hasn't it been prompted that the task is completed?" Zhao Ming asked in his mind.
"Settling down has nothing to do with whether you rent a house or not. It has to do with moving in."
"Okay, can we go? My barrister." Zhao Ming was eager to complete the task and ignored Patton's teasing.
"I can leave with me. I don't want to stay here for a long time." Paton quickly replied, "However, if you need a more 'authentic' identity certificate, you can call this person. He knows many people and his business scope is
'Very broad too, I write to you."
Has he finally come into contact with a real expert? Zhao Ming took the piece of paper handed over by Patton. On it was a phone number and the name Lester.
Hey, why does this name feel so familiar?
The apartment is not too far from the motel, and the two of them can get there in a short drive.
"Well, this apartment is okay." Paton looked around and expressed his satisfaction, "The bedroom is mine, you sleep in the living room."
"ok."
Anyway, the sofa in the living room is big enough to sleep two people. Besides, Zhao Ming is currently looking at the system upgrade prompts and has no time to worry about such trivial matters.
Complete the "Settling Down" task, and you will be rewarded with 3 attribute points and 100 energy points.
All 3 points were added to the spirit, the spirit attribute was increased to 10, and a new skill, Confusion, was unlocked.
Confusion: Can simulate vision, hearing, touch, smell, taste and other senses to create illusions to confuse the target.
Wow! This skill is so awesome. Isn’t this an enhanced version of virtual reality? And the content can be customized at will!
I want a bunch of young ladies! And I want to do some indescribable things!
Zhao Ming immediately used the new skill on himself.
"immunity"
Two big characters appeared in front of Zhao Ming...
Zhao Ming suddenly felt lifeless.
"System, I hate you!"
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Paton next to him turned around and saw Zhao Ming's gritted expression, and suddenly felt a little scary, "How about I sleep on the sofa?"
"What? Oh, no need, I just thought of something else." Zhao Ming explained quickly.
By the way, there is a ready-made experimental subject in front of us. After acquiring new skills, let's try it out.
"There seems to be a fragrance, can you smell it?" Zhao Ming activated the confusion spell while speaking.
suck
Paton sniffed, and sure enough, he felt a floral scent, which was pretty good.
"Yes, I smell it too. Is this a new type of air freshener? It smells really good."
The smell simulation experiment was successful, let’s try other senses next.
"Are you hungry? I have a sandwich here, which I bought downstairs before." Zhao Ming made a gesture of handing something over.
"Thank you." Paton took the "sandwich" and took a breath of air. "It tastes really good. This is the best sandwich I have ever eaten."
Paton didn't notice anything strange about this "sandwich", which already explains a lot.
The first thing is vision, Patton "sees" the sandwich.
Then came the sense of touch. Paton "took" the sandwich and "ate" it in his mouth.
As for the taste, Patton thought this was the most delicious sandwich she had ever tasted.
Finally, there is actually hearing. When a person eats, the food is chewed in the mouth, which will definitely make a sound. Others may not be able to hear it, but you can certainly hear it.
"By the way, the system said that I am immune to this skill? Why can I also see this sandwich?"
"Because you just used a skill on her, this sandwich was embodied based on her memory, so you can see it and touch it."
I understand, it turns out that the magic of confusion cannot be used on oneself, but when used on other people, the illusion created can be seen and touched by oneself, but oneself will clearly know that it is false.
"In addition, confusion can only be used on intelligent creatures and cannot be used on cameras." The system added.
"So, how are you going to deal with Martin?" Paton finished eating the "sandwich" in her hand and said to Zhao Ming, "You have to know that the evidence I have now is not enough to prosecute him."
"Evidence? I don't need evidence to do my job."
"You mean to assassinate him? No! He does deserve to die, but that will be after the court's decision. We cannot abuse lynching and must hand him over to the police."
Zhao Minggang was about to veto when he suddenly saw a new task released by the system: to find evidence of Martin's crime and hand it over to the police to eradicate this cancer in New York.
"Okay, you win." Zhao Ming quickly changed his words, "Let me see if there is any way to find evidence of his crime."
Ding dong
Doorbell rang.
Zhao Ming signaled Paiton not to make a sound yet and answer the door himself.
After taking two steps, Zhao Ming suddenly remembered that there was a video intercom installed in this high-end apartment. He quickly stopped and walked to the intercom to see a young woman standing outside.
"Who are you?" Zhao Ming pressed the intercom button and said into the microphone.
The "nypd (New York Police)" policewoman showed her identity and showed her police badge to the camera.
Why did the police come to my door? Strange.
Zhao Ming opened the door and asked: "Hello, detective, what can I do for you?"
Detective Ma Ke looks a little bit of Latin American descent, with an oval face, delicate eyebrows, and dark brown hair tied into a ponytail on the back of his head, making him look very capable.
"I'm Detective Marco, are you Johnny Black?" Detective Marco began to ask.
"Yes."
Detective Ma Ke took out an enlarged photo and showed it to Zhao Ming: "Have you seen this person?"
Hey, isn't this Patton? The New York police are so powerful that they came to the door so quickly. No, if they were sure that Paton was here, they wouldn't show me the photo.
Zhao Ming thought while using his mind-reading skills on Ma Ke.
It turns out that the police retrieved the surveillance video of the entrance and exit of Patton's parking lot and screened out the people who entered and exited during that time period. When Zhao Ming rented a house today, he entered his photo ID into the system and was recognized by the police system.
Out.
Detective Ma Ke came here today just to investigate and ask Zhao Ming if he had seen Patton. Zhao Ming did not deny it immediately, but looked a little hesitant, which made the detective suspicious.
"Are you Martin's undercover agent in the police station?" Zhao Ming asked abruptly.
"What? Of course not! What are you talking about? Have you ever seen her?" Ma Ke frowned.
Fortunately, Detective Ma Ke was not one of Martin's people. She really wanted to protect Paton, but the Queen Mother realized it later. If it weren't for Zhao Ming's intervention, Paton would have cooled down.
"I've seen it before," Zhao Ming replied.
"When was the last time you saw her?" Detective Ma Ke's eyes lit up and he asked.
"The last time I saw her? Let me think... about a minute ago."
"Is she still alive? Where is she?"
"Come in and talk."
Zhao Ming opened the door and motioned for Detective Ma Ke to come in and talk.
Ma Ke glanced at Zhao Ming warily, put his hands on his waist, and walked in slowly.
Chapter completed!
