Alex clenched his fist as he determined himself.
'With the help of my systems, I will become the biggest detective on the planet.' he thought.
He then looked at his system panel,
"Hey system, Open Quests."
[Ding!]
[Opening quests]

Alex's mouth twitched while reading the punishments,
'It really is a perverted system' he thought
He immediately grabbed his phone and typed in her name.
Bella Harrington, 17 years old, a high school student, and the daughter of a wealthy family. Her mother, Cassandra Harrington, owned a chain of steel production factories.
Alex noted down their address and looked for her mother Cassandra Harington online.
Cassandra Harrington, a 40 year old woman, who took over the steel factories when her husband mysteriously died of a heart attack.
'Hmm, both mother and daughter look gorgeous.' thought Alex.
He quickly noted down the address of their home. He walked over to his closet to look for a set of clothes that would suit him.
'Ah! These clothes wouldn't fit me any more.'
he thought as all the clothes had become too short for him.
"Hey system, do you have any clothes for me?"
[Ding!]
[Detective clothes- 10 points]
[Do you wish to buy it?]
[Yes] \ [No]
"Yes" said Alex,
*FWOOSH*
A long light coffee colored coat along with trousers appeared on Alex's bed. Alex looked at his clothes and thought 'Not bad.'
Locking his door, he headed out of his apartment and walked towards the Harrington mansion. It took him a few hours to get there as he had to walk all the way to the mansion.
'Ah! I wish he had some money left. My legs are starting to ache.' Alex complained.
Nevertheless, he reached the Harrington mansion, a stark contrast to his own house. As he approached the grand gates, two imposing bodyguards stepped forward, blocking his path.
"I'm here to see Cassandra Harrington." Said Alex his voice confident.
"Do you have an appointment?" one of the bodyguards asked, eyeing him suspiciously.
"No, but I am a detective." Alex said as he pulled out his business card. He gave it to one of the bodyguards and continued.
"I know that Bella Harrington is missing. I think that Miss Cassandra should know that there is someone who is here to help."
"How did yo-" The bodyguard wanted to ask how he'd known since it was kept a secret, but Alex interjected him and said while smirking.
"I am a detective, it's my job."
The bodyguards exchanged glances before one of them stepped aside and spoke into a hidden earpiece.
Moments later the gates creaked open and Alex was escorted by one of the bodyguards.
'It looks like she tightened up security after her daughter went missing' thought Alex as he looked at the bodyguards guarding the mansion.
'It must've been an inside job… but who could it possibly be, maid or a friend, an online friend perhaps.' Alex formulated theories as he walked into the mansion.
He mentally reviewed all the possible ways, crossing out each one as he considered their feasibility.
He was then led into a lavish sitting room, its grandeur accentuated by crystal chandeliers hanging high from the ornate ceilings and walls adorned with priceless artwork.
The room exuded opulence, but amidst all these luxuries, the most captivating sight was the woman seated gracefully on the plush sofa.
Cassandra Harrington, a woman in her early forties, with her dark hair cascading down to her waist, her eyes were a striking shade of dark brown. She looked like a woman that would make a buddhist monk have wet dreams.
'What a beauty' Alex was momentarily stunned by her looks.
'I must make her mine!'
As he approached her, Cassandra rose from the sofa, her actions containing a sense of elegance.
She reached her hand out, and asked "Mr. Woods, I suppose?"
Alex shook her hand and answered, "Yes, I am Alex Woods, a detective."
'Her hands are so soft' thought Alex.
"Please." Said Cassandra as she pointed her hand to the sofa, asking him to sit.
"Of course." Alex said and sat on the sofa opposite to Cassandra.
'How did he know that she was missing?'
thought Cassandra while she eyed Alex suspiciously.
Silence descended upon the room as both were staring at each other.
Alex looked at her while smirking, enjoying her beauty, 'Woman, you think I don't know your game? Whoever speaks first loses.'
Cassandra's gaze remained steady, her posture poised and unreadable. The air between them crackled in tension as each was waiting for the other to break the silence.
A few minutes had passed by, and both remained in silence gazing at each other.
Cassandra, who couldn't take it anymore, sighed and put her hands up in defeat and said, "I lost Mr. Woods, you win."
Alex chuckled at this with amusement and replied, "looks like I finally got you cracked Miss Cassandra."
'As expected of a businesswoman,' Alex thought to himself, his respect for her grew a little 'no normal person would last this long in silence.'
"Well, then, Mr. Woods, let's get down to business, before I talk to you about my daughter, how did you know that she was missing?" Cassandra asked, suspicion evident on her face.
"Helping people when they need it is my job, Miss Cassandra," Alex replied with a mysterious smile, maintaining his professional demeanor.
Cassandra's eyes softened slightly, a flicker of relief crossing her features. "Thank you, Mr. Woods," she said sincerely. "I've been worried sick about Bella. Any help you can provide means a great deal to me."
"Don't fret over it, Miss Cassandra," Alex said earnestly. "As I've mentioned, I'm here to help. But to do that effectively, I'll need your assistance first."
"If it helps in finding my daughter, I will do anything." Said Cassandra, her face resolute.
Alex nodded, acknowledging Cassandra's determination. "I will need to see her room, her personal belongings, her mobile phone, laptop, and a list of her friends and their mobile numbers," he requested firmly.
Cassandra listened intently to Alex's list, her expression growing somber. "I can show you her room, but all of her personal belongings and gadgets have been taken by the police for investigation,"
she explained, her voice tinged with sadness as she recalled how the police had swept through her daughter's room.
"I understand, Miss Cassandra, first we will take a look at her room, we will work with what we have." Said Alex calmly, reassuring her.
As they got up and started walking towards Bella's room, they ascended the stairs to the first floor.
Along the way, Alex couldn't help but notice numerous photos of Bella and Cassandra together adorning the walls. They reached Bella's room and walked in.
"Whoa! Looks like the cops took everything. There's nothing left in here," Alex grumbled, voicing his frustration at the empty state of Bella's room.
He walked around the room, checking for any hidden compartments, and as he searched, he asked Cassandra, "Miss Cassandra, how would you describe your daughter's personality?"
Cassandra, startled by his question, replied, "My daughter is a free-spirited and kind girl, but she also acts like a brat sometimes. She would help any servant that was in need."
Alex nodded at her answer and inquired, still searching for any hidden compartments, "What are her hobbies?"
"Hmmm, she loves playing piano and basketball. She got into online gaming a while ago," said Cassandra.
Alex briefly glanced at Cassandra when she mentioned online gaming but continued searching.
"Do you know any of her online gaming friends?" asked Alex as he bent over to look under the bed.
However, Cassandra shook her head, then asked Alex, "Why? Do you suspect them?"
"It could be a possibility," said Alex aloud.
'I don't think it's here,' Alex muttered inwardly, disappointed. He then got out from under the bed
He then looked at her and asked, "Where does your daughter take piano lessons?"
"She takes private lessons at the house; the tutor comes in twice a week," Cassandra replied.
"Is the tutor male or female?" questioned Alex.
"It's a female," Cassandra replied.
Alex nodded at her answer. 'Then it must be either at school or online gaming friends', he thought to himself.
He walked over to Cassandra and said, "Miss Cassandra, please request the items taken into custody by the police and create a list of her school friends with their mobile numbers."
Cassandra nodded in agreement and asked, "Anything else?"
Alex shook his head and replied, "That will be enough for now. We'll reassess once we've gathered some clues."
Alex moved closer to Cassandra, looking into her eyes earnestly. "Miss Cassandra, I know this must be incredibly difficult for you, but hang in there. I will find your daughter and bring her back safe and sound,"
he reassured her, placing his hand on her shoulder.
Cassandra, captivated by his sincere blue eyes, felt reassured and blushed slightly. She nodded at him and whispered, "I will."
"Well then, I will take my leave for now," said Alex as he departed.
He gently kissed Cassandra's hand before taking his leave.
