His stomach was rumbling, and Xu Changqing realized that his stomach was empty, and he was so hungry that he scratched his heart and lungs. He hurriedly boiled the water and prepared to cook something to eat. When the water boiled, he turned on the TV and saw that the news was already airing at 8 o'clock in the evening. I lay down all day?

The news footage looks a little familiar. A bridge, pulling a cordon. The policemen in blue were busy up and down. The news anchor took the script and read: "Two homeless men were killed under the bridge yesterday, and the police have intervened in the investigation, and it has been preliminarily determined to be a homicide." The perpetrator is unknown, and the investigation is still ongoing......"

Found out so quickly? Xu Changqing was a little confused. The scene should be cleaned up very well, he pondered how it would take ten days and half a month to be exposed. The efficiency of the police is also too high. Continuing to read the interview, it turned out that the two homeless men on the river beach last night actually had a companion. The three of them have been living together under the bridge for several months.

"I caught two fish and prepared to cook them. There was no seasoning, so they asked me to buy a soy sauce. I went to the convenience store and came back to find that they were gone! I rushed to the police. At first, the police didn't take it seriously, I strongly asked them to go to the scene, which was really irresponsible! Still talking about cool things or something, is it called Hanako without human rights......" The homeless man who was interviewed looked excited and spoke quickly.

At this time, the director cut the picture at the speed of light, and the girl who interviewed him just now turned to face the camera: "After police investigation, there are traces of a fight under the bridge." After killing the two men, the killer tied the bodies to bicycles and threw them into the bottom of the river ......"

Bang bang, there's a knock on the door.

"Who?" Xu Changqing asked.

The person outside the door responded: "We are the police, please assist in the investigation." ”

The police! Coming so soon? Xu Changqing was excited, and his heart was beating faster. By the way, yesterday I left my name and address at the bridge, and it is normal for the police to find them. It's not necessarily suspicion, maybe it's looking for witnesses. He looked into the room, covered the candle with a blanket roll, and went to answer the door.

Sure enough, there were the two policemen from yesterday standing outside the door. The gray-haired old policeman looked Xu Changqing up and down and asked, "Excuse me, you stayed near the Arakawa Bridge last night." ”

At this time, not admitting it will attract suspicion. Xu Changqing nodded: "Yes, I have jogged on the river embankment to exercise." ”

"See anything?"

"See what?"

"About last night's homicide. Wasn't you watching the news just now, you should know about it? ”

"Well, I only know about the news. Everything was normal when I was running, and I didn't feel any strange movement at all. Of course, I've always been running along the embankment. The news said that the murder had taken place under a bridge near the riverbank, and I had never been there. ”

This statement is very reasonable and logical, blocking the old policeman with nothing to say. But an old cop is an old cop, and he will never let go of any possibility. He stretched his neck and looked over Xu Changqing's shoulder into the room. Xu Changqing moved, blocking his view, his face was displeased: "Mr. policeman, can I say that you are not polite to look like this?" ”

The old policeman smiled awkwardly: "We came from the station, you are really far from here...... Excuse me, can you go in and have a glass of water or something? ”

Xu Changqing simply refused: "It's inconvenient." ”

What a joke, the bloody clothes are still stuffed in the washing machine, and the shredded leather shoes are still piled up in the bathroom. If they are allowed into the house, they will not immediately stage the police to catch the bad guys.

The old policeman is very persistent: "It's just a glass of water......"

"If you have a search warrant, I have nothing to say. If you don't have a search warrant, please go back. ”

In order to cut off the old policeman's thoughts, Xu Changqing said it very hard. He is somewhat aware of the principles of the Fuso police. Without applying for a search warrant, they would never dare to force their way into the house.

Seeing Xu Changqing's attitude so resolute, the two policemen had no choice but to retreat. But who knows if they'll ever come back? No, Xu Changqing thought, that's almost certain. Time is running out, and the evidence must be disposed of urgently.

The bloody clothes had been washed, and only the shadows were faintly ochre-tine. Xu Changqing took out the scissors, cut the clothes into strips of cloth, and burned them one by one on the gas stove. Scraps of leather shoes are easy to handle. I found a glass jar and poured in a bottle of alkaline lotion that went to the toilet, and in a short time the leather was soft, and it turned into a paste when stirred. Flush the black ash of burned clothes and melted leather shoes down the toilet, and all evidence disappears cleanly.

What's next? Go to work as usual? Let's not talk about whether the job was lost or not. Even if he wasn't expelled, Xu Changqing felt that he would never be able to follow the same path as he was eight years ago. He suffered a loss back then. became the Chosen One and went to work all day long, but was found by another Chosen One first, and almost finished playing. This time you have to take the initiative! He made up his mind.

Six thousand fragments of Godhead, assumed to fall evenly in the Northern Hemisphere. A simple calculation shows that there is only one in almost 30,000 square kilometers. Fuso has a total land area of 378,000 square kilometers, and about 11 to 12 pieces can be spread. Xu Changqing recalled. According to the memories of his previous life, in addition to himself, there are indeed three Chosen Ones from Fuso: the fog demon of Ezo, the trickster of Kyushu, and the mad king of Edo.

It was decided to immediately start collecting the fragments of the other Chosen One, starting with the Mad King of Edo.

The Mad King, as his name suggests, is a man who fights frantically. In his previous life, when Xu Changqing met him, he was almost deceived by the appearance of a gentleman. When he wasn't fighting, the Mad King was a very personable old man, with a silver shawl and long hair that was not messy, his clothes were always straight, and even a button on his body was very elegant.

However, it is not the same when it comes to fighting. The Mad King's fusion is mainly red and yellow shards, and his strength and constitution are stacked extremely high, making hand-to-hand combat very difficult. This man will never stop once he starts fighting, unless he lives or dies. is not accommodating, does not negotiate, never keeps his hands, and loves to play with his life, which is why he got such a nickname.

I don't know what the Mad King looks like now. With some kind of expectation, Xu Changqing stepped on the train to the waterfront area of Odaiba, Edo.

The Seagume Line smoothly crosses the white sea-crossing bridge called Rainbow Bridge, and the Odaiba waterfront arrives.

Getting off the trolleybus platform, Xu Changqing took out his mobile phone to check the time. It's past 11 p.m. and it's late at night. But now he has a lot of energy and no sleep.

The waters of Edo Bay wash the sand, and not far away are rows of high-rise buildings. Before he became the Chosen One, the Mad King lived in this neighborhood. Xu Changqing recalled the specific address, which was the UR Urban Public Group Residence, Building 5, and Room 7079 on Sanfan Street.

Late at night, the seaside park is deserted, and only a few couples are strolling on the beach. Xu Changqing walked briskly past them, crossed the street, and walked into Building 5.
