"Brother Luo, it's daybreak. Should we go deeper? Let's walk around the city? "
Lü Luo looked at the guard at his feet and shook his head.
"Let's wait first."
To be honest, it was better to enter the Empire now than to look for a job.
Lü Luo was more inclined to get in touch with the Empire's official organizations.
To understand a country, one had to understand the country's market, economy, and political organization.
An official organization like the guard office could answer Lü Luo's questions to a large extent, such as information about Transcendents.
An official police organization would definitely encounter an irresistible force.
It was easy to get in touch with an official force organization, and it was a very good entry point.
"Lü Luo, do you want to go and take a look?"
"That's right. What happened last night was indeed quite interesting.
I wonder how the Empire people will deal with it. "
Mutants rarely appeared within the walls of the Wasteland Alliance.
The battles between humans and Mutants basically happened outside the walls. The ones that Lü Luo encountered before were also due to some man-made reasons.
Therefore, humans had very little contact with Mutants in their daily lives.
But when Lü Luo and the others arrived at the Empire, they discovered Mutants hidden in the crowd.
These were wild Mutants, and there was a big difference between wild Mutants and man-made products.
The Empire's indulgence was a bit interesting.
"What do we do now?"
"Let Kevin take you to familiarize yourself with the environment. You just have to pay attention to your disguises. I'll take a look here."
"Now? What if we're discovered? "
Lü Luo spread his hands.
"The people here are basically the same as us. You just have to act like a normal person. How can they discover you?
Also, Kevin is a local. It shouldn't be difficult for you to familiarize yourself with the environment, right? "
Act like a normal person … What was that supposed to mean?
Bambusa Chinensis was a bit unconvinced, but after thinking about it, Lü Luo's words seemed to make sense.
"What about you? You want to take a look at the guard office's work? "
"That's right. I want to know more about the security office and how they work.
If he could get a job that was related to the government, such as the former Circular Hunting and Hunter Agency.
Then, many things will be much simpler. "
When Gu Fangyi and Bambusa Chinensis heard that Lü Luo wanted an official status, they were immediately puzzled.
"Didn't you say that we should familiarize ourselves with the environment first before deciding whether to get close to the official organization?
Why would he contact them now? Won't it be dangerous? "
"Opportunities are fleeting. I think that now is the best time to get in touch with them."
"Alright, then be careful."
"Yeah, you guys too."
…
After the two sides separated, it started to drizzle.
Lü Luo subconsciously wanted to activate the Devourer to absorb the energy in the rainwater.
But when the rain fell on his body, Lü Luo discovered that the rain here had no energy.
"Eh … It's actually clean water! Only some dust and impurities, really … "
[Isn't rainwater supposed to be clean?
After getting used to the filth, you can't understand the existence of cleanliness?]
The Observer's poetic hint made Lü Luo pause and think for a moment.
"That's true."
After living in the Apocalypse Circle for nearly two years, Lü Luo's habits were more similar to the Apocalypse Circle.
Many of his habits were no different from normal people in the Wasteland Alliance.
Looking at the rain in the sky, Lü Luo took out an umbrella from his ring and covered his head.
[Why are you using an umbrella? Are you taking off your pants to fart?]
"Shouldn't you use an umbrella on a rainy day? Shouldn't normal people use umbrellas? "
[Are you a normal person?]
"I'm not?"
The conversation between Lv Luo and The Observer ended without a conclusion. He slowly followed behind the group of security officers.
With his extraordinary strength, the guards couldn't find him.
Only Superintendent Zhang of the guards stuck his head out of the car and looked out the window.
The detective in the driver's seat saw his captain stick his head out and immediately became alert.
"Boss, what's wrong? Are we being followed? "
The detective was very good. He knew that it wasn't normal for Zhang Ji to stick his head out and look behind at this time.
But Zhang Ji just shook his head.
"It's nothing. I just want to look behind."
"That's good!"
Turning around, Zhang Ji started chatting with his subordinate in the driver's seat.
"Xiao Zhou, do you think this is a murder case?"
"From the evidence displayed at the scene, the victim was hacked to death with a sharp weapon.
The victim's wounds, the extent of the blood splatter, and the murder weapon at the scene.
All of this evidence basically shows that the murderer is an ordinary person. If it's not a homicide … "
Little Zhou didn't continue, but Zhang Ji already understood what he meant.
If it wasn't a homicide, then it was a crime committed by a freak.
But if it was a crime committed by a freak, there was no need to go to this extent.
A freak didn't need to forge evidence at all, nor did it need to go through so much trouble.
There was blood everywhere, so there was a high probability that it was still a homicide.
However, Zhang Ji kept feeling that something was not quite right, but he could not tell what exactly was wrong.
As he thought about it, Zhang Ji looked behind him again. It was still the same barren area.
"Is there really no one behind us?"
"Yes, there's really no one."
Lü Luo, who was sitting on the roof of the car, said slowly as he ate.
Of course, the people below the car couldn't hear him.
Sitting in the car, feeling the strong wind and raindrops, Lü Luo was in a good mood.
The umbrella in his hand didn't seem to be affected by the strong wind. Even though the car was going very fast, this ordinary umbrella still did its job of blocking the rain.
As they moved forward, Lü Luo was slightly surprised because they were getting closer and closer to the place where he had come from.
"Good heavens, we're going back again."
...
When the police car stopped at the research station, Wang Zemin, who heard the police car, woke up in a daze from his sleep.
He had drunk all night last night and now had a headache. He couldn't remember what had happened last night.
"Why is the security office here?"
As soon as Wang Zemin opened the door, the police officers at the door swarmed over.
"Don't move!"
"Don't move!"
"Don't move!"
Wang Zemin was just an ordinary college student. Although he was stationed here, the school had given him a weapon.
However, this was an inland nature reserve after all. Wang Zemin didn't think of using a gun at all.
Therefore, when the police officers broke in, his reaction was only panic.
"Hey, what are you doing? What are you doing?
I'm a college student from Dong 'an. What crime did I commit? "
"You're Mr. Wang Zemin?"
"What?"
"You're suspected of a murder. Come back with us."
"What? Murder? How is that possible? I've been here for half a year.
This is a nature reserve. There's usually no one here. Where would I go to kill someone? Savages? "
Lü Luo, who was standing on the roof, touched his nose when he heard the word savages.
Wang Zemin wanted to struggle, but the more he struggled, the tighter the police officers pressed him down.
"Be honest."
Zhang Ji took out Li Wei's photo and handed it to Wang Zemin.
"Li Wei, a third-year student at Dong 'an University. Your girlfriend.
She was found dead in her rented apartment this morning. She died a miserable death.
Before she died, she posted online asking what to do after deleting her boyfriend's thesis.
Mr. Wang Zemin, did Miss Li Wei delete your thesis? "
Wang Zemin looked at Li Wei's photo and was speechless for a long time.
"Li Wei … is dead? How is that possible?
I knew it. I should have followed her. I was worried that something would happen to her.
But I was angry, so I didn't follow her. I really didn't expect this. It's all my fault! "
Wang Zemin was already crying.
However, Zhang Ji still looked at him expressionlessly. He had already guessed that Wang Zemin wasn't the murderer.
But …
After sighing in his heart, Zhang Ji began to speak indifferently.
"Miss Li Wei deleted your thesis. You had a quarrel here and Miss Li Wei rushed out of the door.
And you, Mr. Wang Zemin, after drinking, you couldn't bear your anger.
So you chased after her. You knew the location of Miss Li Wei's rented apartment.
After you came to Miss Li Wei's rented house, you killed her, right? "
Wang Zemin looked at Zhang Ji with a frightened face and shouted:
"I didn't kill anyone. I'm not the murderer. I don't even dare to kill a chicken. How can I kill someone?
Also, this place is so far away from the suburbs. Do you want me to run there? "
"There is fresh mud on the tire of the bicycle at the door.
This means that you rode this bicycle yesterday. Riding a bicycle to the rented apartment might be tiring, but it shouldn't be a problem, right? "
"I didn't, I really didn't!"
"Well, whether you did or not, Mr. Wang Zemin, you have to come with us now."
"Let me go, let me go!"
Lü Luo who was watching the whole process shook his head. It turned out that with the huge structure of the Empire, arresting people wasn't completely based on evidence.
Zhang Ji's strength was a Third Grade Transcendent. He was weaker than the Third Grade Transcendent inside the wall. He was even weaker than Kevin Jones.
But this kind of strength was already very strong among ordinary people.
If one observed carefully and deduced, they should be able to find a few suspicious points in this case.
For example, the time of the crime, the weapon, why didn't Li Wei make a sound and so on.
These doubtful points could easily overturn everything they had said.
But Zhang Ji didn't notice these suspicious points.
Or rather, he noticed them, but he didn't say anything.
It was actually a very bad thing that superhumans and normal people did not have a clear hierarchy in terms of their status.
What peaceful coexistence and equality? Was it possible?
Of course not.
Even if they were to carry bricks, ordinary people would be exhausted to carry a thousand bricks a day.
A First Grade Transcendent could carry ten thousand bricks a day without getting tired.
With this kind of difference in strength, how could they be equal?
If you want to talk about equality, you have to give others 10 times the salary.
But if you really wanted to give Transcendent 10 times the salary, it would be fine if the time was short, but after a long time, there would definitely be conflicts.
Even if the workload of both parties was 10 times the salary, there would still be conflicts.
That was because Transcendent and ordinary people were different.
This difference made it impossible for them to be equal.
"If there was no complete Transcendent profession system, then the Empire's current situation would be hard to say!
What is the Empire's main goal, what is its main enemy, these all need time to determine. "
[What are you worried about?]
"I am worried that I can't live a good life and live in a big house!"
[If you become a noble, you will have everything.]
Lü Luo nodded. Yes, in the Empire, if you can become a noble.
Then you will have a lot of things!
… …
Lü Luo continued to follow the security office and came to the city of Dong An City.
Their mobile phones could no longer be used here. If they wanted to contact Gu Fangyi and the others, they had to gather at the agreed place tonight.
Since there was no way to contact his good brothers, then he could only do what he had to do first.
Lü Luo strolled in the security office as if nothing had happened.
Some people would look at him, but most of them were busy with their own things and ignored him.
When he came to the information room, evidence and information were scattered all over the floor in a mess.
Lü Luo just casually flipped through the information.
The security office was very messy, at least the security office in Dong An City was very messy.
Ordinary people and Transcendent mixed together, the organization's actions were not enough, and its execution was even worse.
An organization like this, let alone the hunters, couldn't even compare to the guards inside the wall.
Apart from the occasional Third Grade Transcendent Superintendent, Lü Luo didn't even see a single Fourth Grade person.
He just stood in the security office without using any disguise ability, and no one came forward to ask him.
One could imagine how bad the security here was.
A young fat guard looked at Lü Luo strangely, as if he felt that something was wrong with Lü Luo.
However, he didn't say anything. After a long time, until he was sure that Lü Luo was definitely not a detective from the security office, he stepped forward.
"Hey, this mister doesn't seem to be a police officer, right? Here … "
Before this person could finish, he was interrupted by Lü Luo.
"My name is Lü Luo! I am an agent from the Circle Mysterious Organization.
Today, I am here to assist Superintendent Zhang in investigating the murder in a rented house in the suburbs.
There is a big problem with this case, it might involve … mm! "
Lü Luo couldn't think of an excuse, and was about to use some unconventional methods, such as Nightmare Power.
This guard actually started to fill in the blanks.
"Ugh … I understand, I understand, some things are not convenient to say, I understand.
Please go ahead, I won't disturb you. "
Although this fat guard had never heard of the Circle Mysterious Organization, he was still a civil servant …
It was better to just muddle along and avoid unnecessary trouble.
They were located in the most inland area of the Empire, wasn't the purpose of the examination to live a peaceful life?
Why would they care about something like this that involved Transcendents?
Did they want ordinary people like them to deal with monsters? How was that possible!
Lü Luo stared at the guard, dumbfounded. This person was ignoring him just like that?
Alright, this security office was really lax.
Since no one was bothering him, Lü Luo continued to flip through the files and information here.
There was more than one person who felt that something was wrong with him.
There was even a second and a third person who started to question Lü Luo's identity.
However, what surprised Lü Luo was that whenever someone came over to question Lü Luo's identity.
The fat guard would take the initiative to help Lü Luo stop them.
"What are you doing? Mr. Lü Luo from the Circle Mysterious Organization is investigating a case, get lost if you have nothing to do. "
"And you … Yang Liang, you haven't paid for the takeout you asked me to bring last time."
The fat guard's combat power was very strong, and he had already helped Lü Luo chase away three people in a row.
This gave Lü Luo a long period of free time to use the Observer to record the files here and analyze the cases.
[The proportion of Transcendents' cases is very high, and the way it is handled …]
Lü Luo knew that the way the security office handled the cases here was very bad, and there was no need for the Observer to remind him.
It was fine if they just muddled through, but the problem was that sometimes they would accuse people!
How could he pin the result of the case on an ordinary person?
Wasn't this blatantly framing others?
Lü Luo, who was used to the way the Wasteland Alliance handled cases, could not accept the way the cases were closed here.
The rate of closing cases here was very high, at least twice as high as the Wasteland Alliance.
However, the way the cases were closed most of the time was to accuse people of wrongdoing.
For example, this:
[An old lady in her seventies died in a strange way at home. She died because her hands and head were cut off, and she lost a lot of blood.
However, the final result of the investigation and the reason for closing the case was that the old lady was too sad to see her cat die, and she committed suicide …]
？？？ What the hell?
How did the old lady cut off her own hands and then her own head?
Did the conclusion of the case not follow normal logic?
Lü Luo felt that the way the cases were closed here was even more ridiculous than some shocking news or science programs in his previous life.
"Well, I suddenly feel that I'm a very righteous person.
At least, most of the time, I don't like to accuse ordinary people of the Transcendents' crimes. "
[To be honest, that's true.]
Lü Luo did not continue reading the file because there was no point in doing so.
There was a map of the province and the country on the wall of the security office.
Dong 'an City was located at a corner of the New Empire.
According to the place and location shown on the map, Dong 'an City was around Guizhou.
And the location of Doomsday Circle was around the Sichuan Basin.
Comparing the terrain, the two places were indeed very similar.
"The inland area, huh?"
After putting down the scroll, Lü Luo smiled and nodded at the chubby guard. The chubby guard also quickly responded to Lü Luo.
After greeting each other, the interrogation in the interrogation room ended.
Wang Zemin came out of the interrogation room with a dispirited expression.
No one knew what he had experienced in the interrogation room. At that moment, he seemed to have lost all the strength in his body.
He stood on the spot with a dispirited expression, and he no longer had the will to resist.
At this time, his parents had heard the news and rushed over. As the small boss of a delivery company, they had rushed over.
His mother was crying and did not do anything.
Wang Zemin's father was still calm. After hearing that his son had killed someone, Wang Zemin's father instantly aged.
However, he still maintained the rationality that a man should have. He clenched his fists tightly and waited for his son to come out.
"Little Min, tell me, did you kill anyone? Tell me! "
Slap!
After his father slapped Wang Zemin, Wang Zemin became a little more clear-headed.
His eyes were still blank, but at least he could answer his father's question.
"Dad, I didn't, but that's not important anymore. They've already convicted me."
"It's okay. As long as you say no, I'll help you fight the lawsuit even if I have to go bankrupt."
Wang Zemin's father was a small business owner after all. After working in Dong 'an for so many years, he had some knowledge.
Although he was also an ordinary person, he had some contact with Transcendents.
After hearing that his son had killed someone, Wang Zemin's father immediately felt that something was wrong.
Wang Zemin had been timid since he was young. His greatest interest was playing video games.
Although Wang Zemin's father disliked him playing video games, seeing that he did not cause trouble, did not cause trouble, and was good at his studies, he naturally indulged him.
With his personality, he rarely spoke harshly to anyone, let alone kill someone.
Although he did not rule out the possibility of a sudden outburst, Wang Zemin's father, who had been with his son for a long time, felt that something was wrong.
Zhang Ji, who had also walked out of the interrogation room, shook his head slightly at Wang Zemin's father.
"Mr. Wang, the case has been closed."
"Superintendent Zhang, we know very well what kind of case the security department closed.
If it was someone else, I would naturally ignore it. But this time, it was my son who got into trouble. "
Zhang Ji was very clear about Wang Zemin's father's words.
He rubbed the murder weapon bag in his hand. The remnant spirit energy on it was still vivid in his mind.
However, his colleagues in the identification department had used a common method to erase it.
They often used this method. As long as someone was courting death, they would not be able to turn the tables.
If Wang Zemin's father wanted to turn the tables, it would depend on how much money he was prepared to spend to bribe him.
However, Zhang Ji was still a little worried about this matter. This was because recently, there had been a lot of supernatural cases.
Compared to last year, the crime rate had increased by 120%.
It was not peaceful anymore!
Just as Zhang Ji was about to turn and leave, Lü Luo stood in front of them.
"Wait."
"Who are you?"
Zhang Ji looked at Lü Luo with a puzzled expression. He did not know this young man. What did he want?
"I'm an agent from the Circle Mysterious Firm, Lü Luo.
This time, I was entrusted by Mr. Wang to handle Mr. Wang Zemin's murder case.
This is my name card! "
Lü Luo took out a card casually. When the card was in his hand …
With the power of the Fused, it had already turned into a name card.
[Circle Mysterious Firm – Lü Luo]
The name card was gold-plated. This meant that the value of the name card was very high and very expensive.
This was because gold was an important legal currency in the Empire. It could be used to create the Empire's gold coins.
A person who could use gold to make a name card, even if it was gold-plated, was obviously not an ordinary person.
Zhang Ji looked at the name card. For a moment, he did not know where Lü Luo came from. He also could not sense the energy waves coming from Lü Luo's body. He was unable to determine Lü Luo's strength.
He could only look at Father Wang.
Father Wang did not know Lü Luo at all. However, he was an old fox who had been in the underworld for a long time.
Although he did not know what Lü Luo wanted to do, from the looks of it, there was no worse situation than this.
Dismembering a corpse and killing someone was a death sentence.
If Lü Luo was here to help them, then they would let him try.
"That's right. Mr. Lü Luo was hired by me with a high salary. Superintendent Zhang, you can have a good talk with him."
After Father Wang finished speaking, he looked at Lü Luo, who was smiling.
Lü Luo nodded at him, indicating that he could leave this matter to him.
Father Wang seemed to have sensed something. For some reason, he felt a sense of trust and nodded at Lü Luo as well.
[This old man is sensible!]
"Hehe, then I will not let down Old Mister Wang's trust."
Lü Luo looked at Zhang Ji again and suddenly snatched the murder weapon bag from Zhang Ji's hands.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Ji was already glaring at Lü Luo. He was about to pull out his gun, but Lü Luo did not care at all.
He raised the murder weapon bag and said with a smile:
"The murder weapon has a very dense … Hmm, remnant spiritual energy. Mr. Wang Zemin is an ordinary person.
I will not talk about the motive, method, or time of the crime.
Just based on this remnant spiritual energy, Mr. Wang Zemin should not be the murderer, right? "
