The Decepticon's mechanical body could go without sleep for a long time. Perhaps it was because he had never slept so peacefully in the past two months in the other world. Sun Cheng's first sleep after returning to the real world was deep and peaceful, and he didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky the next day.

Rubbing his eyes, he got out of bed and didn't rush to check the time on his phone. Instead, Sun Cheng went straight to the balcony and opened the window, taking a deep breath of fresh air.

After stretching his back for a while and feeling the drowsiness dissipate, he walked back into the room and said to Safeguard, "Report the situation..."

Taking a glass of water, Sun Cheng walked to the water dispenser and poured himself half a glass of water, asking as he drank.

As he spoke, the ultra-thin notebook that was quietly placed on his desk suddenly twisted and quickly transformed into a ferocious alloy insect.

"Master, I have infiltrated the household registration management center of the Nandu City Police Department, identified the local household registration and found that there are only three men named Xiao Hong between the ages of 20 and 30. After further precise searching, one of them is currently working at the Jiangzhen Shipyard with the license plate number Nan L5234L. According to the investigation, the vehicle has been driving mainly in the Jiangzhen area for the past half month without any signs of returning to Nandu. This is his photo..."

It projected a man's photo, and Sun Cheng sat down at the table and glanced at it to confirm that it was not the Xiao Hong he knew. He looked at Safeguard and nodded in satisfaction, "Continue..."

"Okay, master. The second man named Xiao Hong lives in the countryside of Chungao District and runs a grocery store..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Sun Cheng interrupted him, "Not him, just introduce the last one..."

"Yes!"

Safeguard's performance was slightly sluggish after being interrupted, but there was no hint of complaint.

It quickly introduced the information about the third Xiao Hong, "The third Xiao Hong is 27 years old, the owner of the Nandu Baotong Investment Company, and has many criminal records in the Nandu City Police Department, including two cases of drunk driving, one case of drug driving, and four cases of fighting, etc. This is his photo..."

When he heard the introduction, Sun Cheng already had a premonition and guessed that this Xiao Hong might be the one he knew. When Safeguard projected his photo, he immediately confirmed that it was him.

"I finally found him!"

He sneered and shook the water glass in his hand, commanding, "Safeguard, bring up more detailed information about him. I want information about his family situation, including his current address..."

"Xiao Hong comes from a single-parent family. His father is unknown, his mother's name is Xiao Yan, she is 45 years old, and she is originally from Xuanzhou. She currently resides in Anqing and runs a furniture store there..."

"Is that all?"

Sun Cheng frowned, and the information he most wanted to know about Xiao Hong's family was only a vague piece of information.

"No, there is one very important piece of information that I have not had a chance to report to you yet..." Safeguard continued, not seeming to hear his dissatisfaction, "Just two hours ago, the police confirmed that Xiao Hong had died, along with several others from Baotong Investment Company. The police have launched an investigation..."

"What?"

Sun Cheng's hand shook, and the water glass in his hand fell to his lap, splashing everywhere.

He quickly stood up, sweeping the disposable cup to the ground and shaking the wet clothes on his body. He walked towards the bedroom door, ready to get a towel to wipe himself off.

As soon as he reached the door, before he remembered to reach out and grab a towel, something caught his eye on the ground not far behind the door.

"Huh..."

He lightly exclaimed, noticing a large envelope that had appeared on the ground behind the door at some point.

Bending down to pick it up, Sun Cheng looked at it in his hand and realized that the back of the envelope was clean, with no stamp or any writing, but the seal was glued shut.

"It's strange to send me a letter without leaving any information. What does it mean?"

He squeezed the envelope and felt that there was something inside, otherwise he would have thought it was a prank. As he reached for the envelope with one hand, the wet clothes he was holding onto with the other slipped, sticking to his skin again. The moisture stimulated him, and Sun Cheng shuddered and quickly grabbed a towel from the door, tucking the anonymous letter under his arm and wiping the water off his clothes.

"Continue with the case of Xiao Hong's murder, Safeguard..." He sat back down in his seat and tossed the envelope onto the table, frowning as he asked Safeguard.

"Yes, currently the information I have is limited. The police have not made any further progress and have temporarily defined this as a revenge killing and are investigating in this direction..."

"Revenge killing?" Sun Cheng furrowed his brow and asked, "Do you have photos of the crime scene?"

Safeguard didn't say anything, projecting dozens of photos in front of him for Sun Cheng to look at. Perhaps because he was used to seeing dead people in this world, Sun Cheng didn't feel uncomfortable at all when he saw dozens of corpse photos in front of him. Instead, he leaned in to take a closer look.

After a brief glance, Sun Cheng quickly determined that all the dead on the photos were the people who had surrounded him in the alley that night, without exception.

"All of them died from a single stab wound, the killer is really ruthless..." After a moment of careful examination of the photos, Sun Cheng quickly understood why the police had defined this as a revenge killing.

The killer had stabbed each victim through the throat or heart, and was clearly a ruthless character. However, what puzzled him was that this guy also seemed to have a grudge against Xiao Hong. Not only did he stab him fatally in the heart, but there were also more than a dozen knife marks on his body, showing great resentment.

If the killer had not spared his face, Sun Cheng would probably not have been able to recognize Xiao Hong's body.

Regardless of who the killer was, Xiao Hong was dead, and he had died in his own home, which saved Sun Cheng a lot of trouble. He waved his hand to have Safeguard retract the projection and thought for a moment before giving it a new order.

"Keep an eye on this case, and report any new developments to me."

"Yes, master!"

After receiving the new order, Safeguard replied in a dull tone before transforming back into its ultra-thin form and lying quietly on the computer desk in front of him, guarding his safety.

Having resolved a matter of the heart, Sun Cheng's mood suddenly improved. He couldn't help but look at the anonymous letter on the table, picking it up and playing with it for a while before tearing open the seal with a rustle.

The next moment, he poured two golden invitations emitting a faint rose fragrance out of the envelope.
