Chapter 3: The Trap of the Law of Cause and Effect (I)

It's good to be able to get the handle of your boss, but if you don't have the courage to expose the truth, then I'm afraid you have to be more careful. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today is Friday, and it's the end of the week for students in the Eleventh School District.

"President, you don't usually live here, do you?" Chen Haidong looked around in surprise, this was the first time he had entered the president's office since he came to the newspaper office part-time, although Haidong had some speculations about the place where the president with a strange hobby worked, but to his surprise, it was clearly a girl's boudoir in front of him.

"Hey, don't get off the hook, I said do you like to play detective games?" Zhao Luoluo, dressed in a white dress, was sitting cross-legged on a cartoon-style bed and questioned Haidong loudly, as if the eldest lady was reprimanding the servant.

"Boss, I swear I didn't know it was you." Haidong looked pitiful, he didn't dare to offend this president, who looked small but was definitely not easy to deal with.

"Swear? If the oath is useful, why do you need the police? You don't know that I've sent my sister hundreds of times since last night, but she didn't even look at it and rejected them all.

Although Haidong knows in his heart that the cute girl in front of him who seems harmless to humans and animals is actually a pervert who steals underwear, but he is his top boss, and he can let himself roll up and leave as long as he says a word, even if he has Shangling Senior Sister to cover himself, he can't say how this president will put on small shoes for himself in the future.

"Speaking of which, why did you steal that thing from the senior sister, president?" Haidong tried to change the subject.

"What do you mean by stealing, I am, yes..."Zhao Luoluo's face flushed, and the puffy face looked very cute in contrast to her short pink hair, which made Haidong can't help but have an urge to go up and pinch it, but of course it's just to think about it.

Zhao Luoluo said and took out two pair-looking underwear from a locked drawer on the bedside table, needless to say that Haidong already knew whose it was.

"Look closely, what's the difference between my sister's two underwear." Zhao Luoluo deliberately asked Haidong to look at the one in his left hand first, and then stretched out the one in his right hand, without the slightest sense of shame or repentance.

(No wonder Senior Sister Shangling wants to refuse your email, and now she steals other people's things and hides them like treasures.) Haidong was also very helpless, but now he didn't dare to make Zhao Luoluo angry, so he had to glance at it and replied, "It's no difference." ”

"Are you blind, the one on the right is obviously bigger." Zhao Luoluo was a little anxious.

"But it's the same." Haidong didn't feel that it was really unnatural to discuss another girl's underwear with a girl who had just known her for a day, but who would have thought that this pink-haired little president would actually become serious.

"Don't look at the number, you have to look carefully at the shape..."

Haidong couldn't help but think of Senior Sister Shangling in his heart, only to feel that his old face was already a little hot, so he had to nod and obey Zhao Luoluo at the moment, expecting her to end up satisfied. "Yes, yes, the right side is a little bigger."

"Hmph, I'll just say, my sister's chest still has an infinite future." Zhao Luoluo looked proud, but the next second, he changed to "thanks to you" and stared at Haidong. "My sister ignores me now, and I also take leave to work from home today, I want to buy something that my sister likes to please her and ask her to forgive me."

"I think it's better to give it back to someone first." Haidong reminded carefully.

"How's that going to work? I want to witness my sister's growth. Seeing Zhao Luoluo's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Haidong really had to accept this guy who could turn right and wrong upside down so naturally.

"Then it's okay, I'll go back to work first."

"No, you were requisitioned by me today, the bond mall is quite far away, I can't take so many things, I need someone to help me get it."

...

The bond mall is a large shopping mall with a total of seven floors, although the name sounds like a hypermarket that often engages in promotions, but in fact it is the place with the highest prices in the eleventh school district, although the goods are complete and the service is also satisfying, and it is often possible to grab some new products, but it is still because it is twice the price of other places and is jokingly called the dissuasion shopping mall by the students of the eleventh district, it is said that if the whole school district is the only place where you can buy daily necessities, then the students below the four hundred ability value can only rely on begging to live.

However, it is also for this reason that gifts wrapped in coupons between students are also seen as a sign of intention and sincerity. Of course, this kind of place is naturally not something that poor people like Haidong, who have to break their hands and toes to get by by at the end of the month, can set foot in Haidong, but this time they are only used as a means of transportation, so let's talk about it.

Coincidentally, I met Liu Mo on the way here, Liu Mo is still wearing a school uniform today, and her long reddish-brown hair is tied into a ponytail, saying that she came out to buy some daily necessities during the holiday today, and I heard that Haidong Their purpose simply came with them, for Liu Mo, a girl who has no hobbies such as online games and is not moonlight, there are still some points left every month, and the accumulation is considerable.

All the way, Haidong was explaining to Liu Mo why he wanted to buy things with Zhao Luoluo, but naturally he didn't tell the truth, so he had to make up that he and Zhao Luoluo had damaged Xu Shangling's beloved artwork and wanted to buy something as compensation.

"I didn't see that you still have such a beautiful girlfriend." Zhao Luoluo touched Haidong with his arm and whispered.

"Just friends." Haidong reluctantly explained.

"Yes, it's impossible for someone like you to get such a beautiful girl."

"Huh."

Although it was already a holiday last night, there are still not many people because of the price here. Soft music is playing in the mall, as if to dilute the customer's concept of time.

As soon as the three of them walked into the mall, Zhao Luoluo preemptively said: "Let's buy our own ones, if you want to buy daily necessities, you can choose on the first floor, I'll go up there to see if there is anything my sister likes, Chen Haidong, you can come over and help me get it later." ”

Just when the two of them nodded in agreement, they suddenly heard "Bang!" behind them. "A bang.

This sound, which was so incongruous with the soft ambient music, attracted almost everyone's attention, and when people looked for the source of the sound, they saw a man lying on the ground, and blood was already flowing around his body.

Most of the boys present were stunned by this sudden scene, and many of the girls had already covered their eyes and screamed loudly.

Unfortunately, Haidong, as the only male among the three people in the group, was not the first to come to his senses. "Did he fall from above?" Zhao Luoluo patted Haidong, who was still stunned, hard.

"I guess so." Haidong blinked vigorously, and finally came back to his senses, he looked up at the place Zhao Luoluo pointed, the edge of the passage on each floor was only a meter-high glass fence, and this person may have fallen from above.

"Let's go, it's scary to watch." Liu Mo pulled down Haidong's sleeve and whispered.

"Wait a minute." Haidong and Zhao Luoluo replied at the same time.

The two glanced at each other.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Luoluo was the first to ask.

"My ability can restore accidents, I'd like to go up and see what's going on." Haidong replied.

"I seem to have a little impression of this person." Zhao Luoluo did not hide it.

"Then I'll wait for you here, I'm afraid of blood." Liu Mo looked a little weak.

"Well, I'll be back when I go upstairs and have a look." Haidong nodded, and then ran in the direction of the stairs.

While a few people were talking, there were already several people with the armbands of the Inspectorate gathered around the place where the incident occurred, and judging by the school uniforms on their bodies, it was the students of the nearby Twilight Academy.

"Please don't come near here." One of them saw Zhao Luoluo coming over and stretched out his hand in front of her.

"Is he dead?" Zhao Luoluo stopped and asked the inspector who was squatting to check the situation.

"The ambulance is still three minutes away, but even if it does, it won't be of much use." The inspector who was squatting on the ground took out a magnetic card student ID card from the pocket of the deceased's jacket, stood up and read: "Wang Bo, a second-year student at Dusk Academy in the Eleventh School District, has an ability value of 668. "This person's armband has one more gold edge than the few people next to him, which means that he is a captain-level status.

Hearing this, Zhao Luoluo's face suddenly became solemn, as if he had thought of something.

"Six hundred ability points, at least twenty meters or more to fall to death." An inspector standing next to him glanced up and analyzed, "At least more than five floors."

"Six hundred ability points are not a small person, they can make headlines." The inspector who stopped Zhao Luoluo just now said casually.

"Without further ado, Zhang Ping, come over and help me put the body in order, and the two of you go and ask the onlookers next to you if they know this Wang Bo. ... Hey, Ma Jundong, can you hear me? The death has been confirmed here, don't let go of any details in the surveillance on your side, once you find the floor where the deceased fell, you will immediately send two people to protect the first scene. The captain gave a quick order.

At this time, Haidong had already gone up the elevator to the third floor, and he didn't have the power to call up the monitoring of the mall, and besides, the ability had to be linked to the physical object to play a role, and the monitoring couldn't help him, so Haidong had to use the ability to find the floor where the person fell floor by floor.

Zhao Luoluo walked out of the crowd of onlookers, she was sending messages to Xu Shangling over and over again, but the other party was still in a state of refusal.

Just when Haidong came to the sixth floor, there were already two inspectors standing at the most likely place to fall, and one of them had his mouth open and closed, probably communicating with his companions below.

Haidong walked forward quickly.

"Hey, this is the scene of the crime, and it is forbidden for idlers and others to approach." One of the inspectors noticed Haidong and shouted to stop him.

"My ability can help you investigate." Haidong explained.

Just as the inspector shook his head and refused, the inspector next to him suddenly said, "Yo, isn't this Chen Haidong." ”

"Ma Jundong, only see me now?" Haidong clearly knew this man.

"I was reporting to our captain." The inspector named Ma Jundong pointed to the person next to him and introduced, "This is my senior, Qiu Lu." Then he said to Qiu Lu: "He is the one who helped us find the murder weapon and finally lock the murderer in the last revenge and wounding incident, his ability can see what happened a while ago, you might as well let him take a look, it can still help our investigation." ”

The inspector named Qiu Lu glanced at Chen Haidong and asked with disdain: "Can your ability see more clearly than monitoring?" ”

"I can't." Haidong replied truthfully, and what he saw with his abilities was basically just some vague lines, and he couldn't even see the specific faces.

"There are some ways to hide from the surveillance, but not from his eyes." Ma Jundong said for Haidong, although he had seen Haidong's abilities, but he didn't know how many catties and taels Haidong had, so he just didn't want Haidong to lose face too much.

Qiu Lu thought for a moment, and then said to Haidong, "Can you prove where you were at the time of the crime?" ”

"I almost had no sooner than I entered the mall when I saw him fall." Haidong replied.

"Okay, give you two minutes, but you have to remember that if the surveillance at the door doesn't prove what you just said, you will be considered the first suspect in vandalism at the scene of the crime. Also, we want you to state your findings truthfully and without any personal opinions. ”

Seeing Ma Jundong smiling awkwardly on the side, Haidong had to nod helplessly. Most people's first impression of the Inspectorate in the test area is stereotypical and unrestricted, but the Inspectors seem to be very happy to maintain this impression, and some joke that the Inspectors don't have to wear the red armband at all times, because they can be recognized by just the expressions on their faces. In the pilot zone, the inspection team is the embodiment of law and order, and if you want to enter the inspection team, you need to undergo physical training that many people can't bear at all, and these young people who have endured hardships certainly want others to know that it is not ordinary. Of course, this is not the case for everyone.

Haidong has opened his heart's eyes. Although he can't see the details clearly with his current ability, and the scene he restores is basically only a rough outline, his heart eye still roughly shows the scene where Wang Bo stumbled and fell a few minutes ago:

He had just walked up from the lower floor, and the speed was so uniform that he didn't see any strange reaction until he got here, but the next scene suddenly switched to him climbing directly from here onto the glass guardrail, and the whole person was half-hanging from the guardrail, and then the scene below happened.

"I just looked at the surveillance and it looks like a suicide." Seeing Haidong close his eyes, Ma Jundong said.

Haidong opened his eyes, nodded after hearing Ma Jundong's words, he naturally saw that the deceased jumped over the fence by himself.

"Speaking of which, are you here to buy something? I can't imagine that your little life is quite moist. ”

"Me? Forget it, you don't know my financial situation. Only then did Haidong realize that Inspector Qiu Lu had left.

"I told you a long time ago that you should come to the inspection team to find a job, the inspection team is the police in the experimental area, both decent and salary, plus your ability is not just to solve the case and make meritorious contributions?"

"Come on, I can't stand the training of the inspectorate. And don't tell me about logistics, the salary of the logistics of the inspection team is not as high as that of the dishwasher in the canteen. ”

"Logistics is more or less half an inspector, don't be pretentious all day long, unwilling to eat, easy to live and too little money." Ma Jundong looks like he hates iron but not steel.

Haidong was just about to refute when he heard Zhao Luoluo's voice.

"Chen Haidong!"

"What's wrong?" Haidong hurriedly turned his head.

"Did you notice anything strange?" Zhao Luoluo walked over quickly.

"Yo, I'll just say why are you running here, I can't see that your kid can take down such a cute little sister." Ma Jundong next to him showed that he understood something.

Haidong didn't bother to explain, he simply turned around and turned his back on Ma Jundong.

"I didn't see anything strange, I just felt a little weird." He replied.

"I also know your abilities in general, if you look carefully to see if you have overlooked something, it is absolutely impossible for this person to fall by accident."

Seeing Zhao Luoluo's anxious look, Haidong couldn't find any excuse to refuse, although the content of his ability was the same every time.

Abilities rely on superpowers to operate, and the more powerful the ability, the higher the consumption of superpowers, and although Haidong's mind eye is not a powerful ability, he only considers his own ability value of three hundred and five, which makes him have to develop the habit of turning off when he runs out of abilities.

Haidong had already turned on the ability again, and he didn't know what the dead who fell from the building had anything to do with Zhao Luoluo, but since Zhao Luoluo was so sure, he had no reason to doubt it.

Just as Haidong once again restored the scene before the deceased fell from the building, Zhao Luoluo suddenly said: "Accept the communication connection request I sent you, I am in a hurry to leave in advance, if you find anything, contact me directly." ”

Haidong naturally knows that only people with extremely good relationships will establish a communication connection with brain implant chips with each other, which means that as long as you don't block each other, then the other party's messages can reach your brain directly at any time. Haidong has only established communication connections with five people so far, and although Liu Mo is of the opposite sex, he usually doesn't communicate in this way. And now Zhao Luoluo actually wants to establish a connection with himself, this cute girl who has only known him for less than a day, no, it should be said that he is the president.

Haidong flipped out the virtual interface and accepted it without hesitation.

Once the communication connection is established, it is permanent.,There's no deletion function.,But then it's estimated that you'll be permanently blocked.。 Haidong looked at Zhao Luoluo's shadow that was gradually moving away, and thought secretly.

"Yes, young man, where did you find such an innocent little girl, she probably didn't know that the communication connection established couldn't be deleted." Ma Jundong continued to tease.

"What kind of little girl is she, she's the president of a superpowered newspaper." Haidong gave him a blank look, as if to say that you don't know anything.

However, Ma Jundong didn't take it seriously, and after ridiculing, he returned to the topic, "When the little girl was talking to you just now, the news came that Wang Bo had an unopened game disc pressed on his chest. ”

"What game?" Haidong hurriedly asked.

"Overwatch Defender is the stand-alone game that has been very popular recently." Ma Jundong replied. "It seems to be a collector's edition."

"That's going to cost a lot of money, especially now that it's still in its first phase." Haidong said,He's a typical game master,But there's no game he hasn't played with a little fame.,The price, size, and recommended configuration of all kinds of games are clear to him.。

"I didn't ask you this." Ma Jundong shouted dissatisfiedly, "We speculate that he jumped off with this disc case, and I didn't see anything similar in the video just now, I want you to see what is going on with your eyes." ”

"If you think about it, this shows that this Wang Bo is here to buy a game disc today, how can a person who still wants to buy a game to play commit suicide." Although Haidong argued, he still focused his attention on his heart.

About half a minute later, Haidong suddenly said: "No wonder the surveillance can't see it." ”

"Why can't I see the surveillance?" Ma Jundong asked hurriedly.

Haidong didn't answer, but walked to the guardrail, stretched his upper body out of the guardrail and looked up, this move frightened Ma Jundong quickly hugged his waist and pulled him back, "Hey, you won't be enchanted too."

"Let go, I've found the evidence!" Haidong protested loudly as he broke free. However, Ma Jundong did not let go, on the contrary, he worked harder, he was really worried that Haidong would fall from under his nose.

The passionate scene of the two made the clerks and girls who were still standing outside the store and paying attention to the progress of the case couldn't help but turn their heads.

After another half a minute, Haidong finally stopped struggling, he closed his eyes, and turned off his abilities at the same time. "Before the incident, a disc box fell from upstairs, and it is estimated that Wang Bo happened to catch it, and he fell down when he wanted to get it."

Ma Jundong pulled Haidong back a little before letting go of his hand and asked, "Did the box fall to this floor?" But the surveillance didn't see it. ”

"Strange to say, the box didn't fall here, but hung outside, about the same height as the guardrail, almost a meter away from the guardrail."

"You mean hanging in the air? It is no wonder that the scope of surveillance is limited to the inside of the passage, and cannot be photographed outside. But the question is, how does a game box hang in the air? Could it be that someone hung on it with a thread? ”

"Not hanging." Haidong shook his head, "I can see that the box is lying flat, there should be a board or something like that under it to block the box so that it didn't fall." However, I can't see the color of the board, and it may be transparent glass or something. ”

After hearing this, Ma Jundong immediately reached out of the guardrail and waved, but he didn't find the transparent glass that Haidong said.

"I don't remember anyone coming here after the fall, and there was an inspector in the monitoring room on the third floor, and he didn't find anyone approaching."

"That's the use of the ability, stealth, spatial transfer can avoid the eyes of the surveillance, or the ability itself can create a transparent baffle and turn it off directly after it is used up..."Haidong paused when he said this, because he suddenly thought of someone, just this thought made him feel like an electric shock for a moment, but he quickly recovered." I think it's worth asking your captain to focus on the types of abilities that have come in here today. ”

"You're pretty good at it." Ma Jundong clenched his fist and lightly hammered Haidong's shoulder twice.

"That's a must." Haidong is not modest.

"I've asked the captain, and the captain said that if this is really a malicious murder, then the person who threw the game disc from the upper floor must not be out of the way, and just find him and investigate. Also, he said you're so brainless. ”

"Damn, if it weren't for me, you would have known what was going on so quickly? I'm helping you for free, right? ”

"Yes, yes, a good young man who is righteous and courageous, you are very right." Ma Jundong comforted. "But it's really not wrong to say that you are brainless, you think about it, our captain doesn't know you at all, how can it be said that you are brainless, obviously talking about me."

Haidong was speechless.

Surprisingly, the locked suspects turned out to be a couple, both of whom were students of Twilight Academy, and the two came here to buy a birthday gift for the woman, but who knew that this boy accidentally passed by a game store and was told that he was the first 10,000th customer of the new store opening, and he could buy the now popular "Overwatch Guard" at a three-fold discount, so this guy named Guo Zilong took advantage of his girlfriend's time to go to the bathroom and sneaked into the store to win the game, and also bought the collector's edition. Later, although he lied that he had misremembered his remaining scores, he was still discovered by his girlfriend, and his girlfriend snatched the disc case and threw him downstairs in a fit of anger.

It's not like a deliberate story for the sake of murder, as both insist they don't know the deceased who wasn't from their academy, and that the game store clerk can prove that Kwok is indeed the 10,000th customer. Except for the baffle that I don't know why it's missing, it can basically be concluded that it was an accident, although Haidong didn't understand why Zhao Luoluo insisted that Wang Bo's death was not an accident, but he still followed her instructions and sent his findings and investigation results to Zhao Luoluo, who didn't know where he went, through the wireless connection of the brain chip, and then sent an apology to Liu Mo, who also didn't know where he went.

The investigation of the inspection team has entered the final stage, and the inspector who is blocked outside has also received instructions to start releasing it, after all, it is impossible to let so many people stay here for too long, but presumably Zhao Luoluo has used the ability of stealth to go out, and at this time Haidong feels that there is no point in staying here any longer.

(I didn't expect it to be like this one day) Haidong walked out of the mall along the flow of people, and the inspection team should have dealt with it as an accident, but for Haidong, this matter is still not over, because he just received the news of Zhao Luoluo.

"Come to the newspaper, immediately."
