By this time, the Protagonist had become suspicious, yet facing the evidence he had to obtain, he didn’t hesitate.
The commission was completed quite naturally.
The Protagonist received the reward.
With this success, the commissioner introduced even more friends here, and naturally, the mysterious phone calls continued to assist the Protagonist.
Success after success made the Protagonist’s reputation soar.
Although the Protagonist had repeatedly asked who the caller was.
The caller never answered, simply placing important clues in crucial spots for the Protagonist to retrieve.
Days went by, one after the other.
Despite his continuing curiosity about who this ’good Samaritan’ was, the Protagonist needed their help and had to suppress his curiosity, until one day... the police showed up.
"The second case, crushed man, except for a head, a completely crushed body stuffed in a box and thrown onto the road, with a note on the head: Meaningless, no fun."
"The third case, very normal, a woman whose throat was cut for a swift death, was the real target, and there was also blood writing: This is only the third, it’s getting less and less fun."
"The fourth case, drowned person, a woman was drowned, and there was a note left by the bank: I’m ready to finish."
"The fifth case, woman burned to death, outside the burning house, leaving a clear message with a note: It’s over, I’m not playing anymore."
Jason went over the five cases one by one in his mind.
It should be the first case now.
Thinking this, Jason turned on the TV.
He needed more information to confirm the progress of the cases.
And just at that moment, the phone rang.
On the third ring, Jason answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Jason?"
The voice on the other end was somewhat deep.
"Yes, it is. And you are..."
"I’m John, I sent you a letter before, I’ve been waiting for your call but you never called, so I reached out."
"I apologize for that, I acknowledge it."
At this, the deep voice paused for a while.
Then slowly continued—
"My dog has been stolen."
