Chapter 512: The World Is Not Worth It
The sniper who shot the Yin Gun last night died under the formation of the Ember Star?
"Brother Qin, are you sure?" Su Mu asked.
"I'm not sure, so I want Xiaoxi to help confirm it." Qin Yang paused, and then said, "But it shouldn't be wrong, we found traces of the formation technique in his body." ”
The "we" here refers to Qin Yang himself and Liu Hanrou, although the latter is a forensic doctor who has been transferred from the criminal police, but the relevant professional knowledge is still very solid, not to mention, it is not too difficult to determine whether a person died from the Ember Star Array Technique.
Generally speaking, once the law enforcement bureau's case involves a foreigner, it will be included in the confidential file to prevent someone from making a big fuss and inciting the emotions of the masses to cause panic, and these two days are in an extraordinary period, Qin Yang is not sure if there are any undercover agents sent by the Wilson family around him, so he can only keep the cause of the sniper's death secret for the time being, and then make a phone call to the vice principal, wanting to ask himself if the teacher knows an expert in formation arts, so as to help determine the case.
After all, although he unconditionally believes in Liu Hanrou, some things still have to be done according to the rules.
A corpse with a strange death like this needs to be identified by at least two forensic doctors before the Enforcement Bureau can make a final judgment, otherwise, if the pigtails are caught by those people who are planted by other agencies to keep an eye on the inside of the Enforcement Bureau, he will inevitably be in trouble.
Qin Yang's original intention was to find Hu Laide and ask a trustworthy expert to play the role of forensic doctor, but the latter asked him to come directly to Luo Xiaoxi, saying that Su Mu's sister was a genius in this area, and there should be no one in the entire Sage City who knew more about formation techniques than her.
Qin Yang thought of the RV full of spirit arrays in the Dawn Society, so he didn't suspect it, so he called Su Mu over.
By the way, he also asked Xiao Liu to change Luo Xiaoxi's status as an auxiliary police officer in the Law Enforcement Bureau to a trainee forensic doctor, which was signed by Liu Hanrou himself.
However, Qin Yang is not a fool, although he believes that Luo Xiaoxi has an extraordinary talent in formation skills, but is it really just a matter of talent?
Luo Xiaoxi has beautiful silver hair, which is nothing in itself, but if you add the keyword "formation technique", then the problem is a bit big.
This old criminal policeman, known as the first detective of Shengzhe City, has a really keen sense of smell, and out of professional problems, Qin Yang habitually leaves half of his words, he did not tell Vice Principal Su Mu what he said, but through an ambiguous way, he hinted that Su Mu already knew Luo Xiaoxi's identity and wanted to see the latter's reaction.
This temptation was purely subconscious, without any malice, but Su Mu's slightly silent reaction undoubtedly confirmed his guess.
"Brother Qin, are you at the scene of the crime now?" After pondering for a moment, Su Mu asked.
"Well, the Grand Hotel Kessolna, 6503." Qin Yang said.
"Wait for us in ten minutes, we'll clean up and go over." Su Mu said.
Hanging up the phone, Su Mu said hello to Xia Na and the others, and went outside the tent to find Luo Xiaoxi.
After the two returned to the villa, they changed their clothes and drove directly to the Kaisorgna Hotel.
This hotel is actually very close to the Villa Foreland area, and it is only a few minutes walk, but Su Mu thought about being prepared, so he still drove the car, in case there was something temporary, and he needed to go to other places, it would be more convenient.
"Brother, has Director Qin discovered my identity?" Luo Xiaoxi sat in the co-pilot, wearing a mask, and her demonic red pupils were full of worry, "Will I affect your relationship?" ”
"Rest assured, this will never happen." Su Mu smiled and stretched out his right hand and rubbed the girl's head, "Otherwise, how could I have specially asked you to take off the contact lenses?" ”
In fact, Su Mu wasn't sure if Qin Yang knew that Luo Xiaoxi was an Ember Star person, but with the return of the Pope, this matter couldn't be hidden for a few days, so it was better to simply admit it generously.
Twenty years ago, Qin Yang had a conflict with his closest companion because of aliens, and even missed his first love for this, and he was not completely relieved until not long ago, and today, twenty years later, Su Mu believes that Qin Yang, who has experienced the sourness in it, will not repeat the previous mistakes.
Five minutes later, the two of them arrived on the top floor of the Kaisolna Hotel.
The entire floor was cordoned off by the Law Enforcement Bureau, but there were only three people.
Qin Yang, Liu Hanrou, and Xiao Liu, they were all guarding the door.
"Brother Su, you are more punctual than I thought." Qin Yang looked at his watch and said.
"Punctuality and agility are essential habits for successful people." Su Mu opened his mouth and blew a wave of himself, and then nodded to the other two with a smile: "Senior Sister Liu, Brother Liu." ”
"You should have let Sister Xiaoxi wear sunglasses." Liu Hanrou said seriously.
"It doesn't matter, my Xiaoxi is so beautiful, others are amazed when they see it, and they don't have time to think about it...... Isn't it, Xiaoxi? Su Mu winked at his sister.
Luo Xiaoxi didn't speak, and pinched his brother's waist with a red face!
In fact, although Su Mu's statement is suspected of sycophancy, it is more of a fact.
Not to mention that this is a world of face-seeking, even if Luo Xiaoxi has an average appearance and walks on the road for others to see, he basically won't associate it in the direction of the Ember Star - as long as Luo Xiaoxi doesn't take the initiative to use the formation technique.
After all, for the vast majority of people, Ember people are characterized by waving their hands in formation, not white hair and red eyes.
No, Xiao Liu looked at them with a confused expression, not understanding what Liu Hanrou and Su Mu were talking about at all.
Of course, Luo Xiaoxi's red pupils can't be exposed to too many people's sight.
When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and so are people, and there will always be some people in the Mara Church with a population of one billion people who are more out-of-the-box and sharp, especially the people in the Holy Council in charge of national security.
However, Su Mu already knew that the name of the Sage City was about to be changed, so he was not worried that there would be members of the Sage Council in the Sage City, and it was now the time of the competition, and there were many fewer people on the street than usual, which was also the reason why Su Mu dared to let Luo Xiaoxi go out without wearing contact lenses and sunglasses.
"Let's go, let's get down to business in the first house."
Qin Yang's eyes swept over Luo Xiaoxi, but he didn't see anything, pushed open the door of the crime scene, and led everyone in.
Just like Su Mu thought, he missed it once twenty years ago, and now he won't miss it a second time.
Qin Yang's initial change in attitude towards foreigners occurred during the two years after he joined the Law Enforcement Bureau as a trainee criminal police officer.
During this period, Qin Yang saw too many unspoken rules in politics, he began to question the church, questioned himself, and finally understood why the teacher would say that he would serve the people, not the church.
Qin Yang had always hated those corruption very much, and when he really understood these shady things, he understood that compared to the aliens that Zhu Chunxia rescued at the beginning, the existence of these officials was the real threat to the country.
Later, the fact that the regent was dropped by a foreigner came to light, which made Qin Yang's heart feel a little better.
At the very least, it proves that the darkness and stagnant development within the church of Mara are all played by aliens.
However, although the misunderstanding was resolved, Qin Yang's attitude towards the church could not be reversed.
In the final analysis, this is because of the failure of the Pope and the failure of the Cabinet, otherwise, how could they not even find any clues that so many officials within the Church have been replaced?
The thing of changing the skin is indeed a bit mysterious, but which of these high-ranking officials was not the best among their peers at the beginning?
With their ingenuity, it is impossible not to see any clues.
The reason why that situation will appear in the end can only show that they have long been lost in the power and wealth brought by their status, and in their eyes there is nothing but interests or interests, even if there are no aliens to help them, the corruption of the church is a matter of time.
Qin Yang was very disappointed in the church, before joining the Law Enforcement Bureau, he would never have imagined that the church he was dedicated to maintaining would be like this, and he never imagined that the law that he would abide by even if he quarreled with the people he loved the most would be trampled on by those so-called law enforcers.
Now it seems that Zhu Chunxia's choice was the right one.
If the world is not worth it, it is time to change the world.
……
Entering 6503, Luo Xiaoxi immediately wrinkled his nose, "What a strange smell." ”
"It's like something has been burned." Su Mu said.
This smell is actually very light, it should have dissipated a lot because of the air circulation, and it is difficult to smell it if it is not for a cultivator with particularly keen five senses.
Su Mu looked around, but did not find any burn marks.
"This person's name is Luo Jinlong, 47 years old, a third-order cultivator, a former member of the Ross family, and now a black household." Qin Yang walked around the table and went to the corpse, "When Ross City fell, this guy happened to be doing a bounty mission in another world, and he was lucky enough to escape, and later he should have been recalled by Luo Song and has been living in Shengkai City. ”
"At two o'clock in the afternoon the day before yesterday, Luo Jinlong suddenly came to Shengzhe City and stayed at the Kaisolna Hotel, he did not use his identity card, but gave a lot of tips to the front desk waiter, during this period, he stayed in the house, never left the room, and even drank water and ate in the house to solve it himself."
Luo Jinlong died by the window, holding the necromantic sniper rifle in his hand, and on the windowsill was a box of leftover self-heating instant meals, three empty mineral water bottles, and an ashtray full of cigarette butts.
Su Mu noticed Luo Jinlong's facial expression, the latter's pupils dilated, his expression was frightened, and his fingers were still on the trigger, as if he was aiming seriously at that time, but suddenly saw something unbelievable.
"When our men found here, the trigger of the sniper rifle was already half pulled off." Liu Hanrou said, "In order to avoid misfire, I moved his finger a little away when I was checking. ”
It can be seen that Luo Jinlong had subconsciously chosen to shoot at that time, but the speed of the other party's shot was too fast, and his life ended in an instant, so that he only pulled half of the trigger, and he had no strength to continue, and even the expression on Luo Jinlong's face stayed at the moment when he was frightened.
"Something went wrong with our judgment that day." Qin Yang said, "He is not a professional killer, or rather, his master gave him a death order, and the assassination must be successful, so he should have been preparing to fire a second shot, but because of the appearance of that Ember Star master, this shot was not fired." ”
It seems that Qin Yang not only determined that the murderer of Luo Jinlong was an Ember Star Man, but also determined that this Ember Star Man was a master.
"We received the call to the police last night at 10:36, and the corpse's activity report showed that Luo Jinlong's time of death was also at 10:36." Liu Hanrou said, "Our instrument has been updated once, and now the error in determining the time of death will not exceed one minute. ”
Not more than a minute?
"A master indeed." Su Mu nodded.
If it is not to extinguish the mouth, it means that the other party and Luo Jinlong are not in the same group, and the former can find Luo Jinlong's location with the sound of gunfire in just one minute, and kill him instantly, which at least has a knight-level cultivation.
This is also consistent with Luo Jinlong's frightened expression.
He was standing by the window, aiming at Villa Folrant, and what could have frightened him?
It can't be because he saw Su Mu holding Zhao Guoguo and dodging his bullets, right?
Qin Yang gave an order at that time and asked people to check the surveillance of the Kaisolna Hotel, but today Qin Yang didn't say a word about it, which proved that there was nothing useful in the surveillance, which means that the murderer was very likely to appear directly in front of Luo Jinlong - outside the window on the 65th floor!
"I'm curious, Senior Sister Liu, how did you determine that the murderer was from the Ember Star?" Su Mu asked.
Luo Jinlong's body is intact, there are no wounds on his body, and there are no traces of blood, this crime scene has obviously not been touched, so the question is - now that the Law Enforcement Bureau is doing an autopsy, there is no need for an autopsy?
"Senior Brother Su, I know what you're thinking." Liu Hanrou smiled and glanced at Luo Xiaoxi, who was silent.
With a good sister from Ember Star, Su Mu will of course favor the other party appropriately, which is understandable human nature, but since she dares to make this judgment, she naturally has a good reason.
"Generally speaking, cultivators will only die instantly in two situations, one is a burst heart, and the other is a devastating blow to the brain." Liu Hanrou said, "I have probed it with spiritual power, and there is no problem with Luo Jinlong's heart, but his head is ...... Senior Brother Su, why don't you feel it yourself? ”
Hearing this, Su Mu squatted down, his palm glowed, and gently covered Luo Jinlong's forehead.
After a second, he knew what was going on with the smell of burnt mush in the room.
Luo Jinlong's head was obviously empty.
And the empty place, according to Su Mu's understanding of the structure of the human body, should be...... Brains.
That murderer directly evaporated Luo Jinlong's brain!
"Senior Sister Liu, some of the more powerful fire-attribute melee skills on Blue Star should be able to achieve this effect, right?" Su Mu stood up, clapped his hands and said.
The reason why it is said to be melee combat, not long-range, is because there are no traces of burns on Luo Jinlong's head, which shows that the violent fire spiritual power first invaded Luo Jinlong's head before it began to show its power, which is commonly known as internal strength.
"You're right, it's indeed possible, but Senior Brother Su, the traces of spiritual power left in Luo Jinlong's head are very similar to the firearms of our Law Enforcement Bureau." Liu Hanrou thought for a while and reported a value: "The similarity is at least 90%." ”
"I see." Su Mu sighed softly.
The firearms of the Law Enforcement Bureau also belong to the category of combat uniforms, and the core technology of them is the spirit array.
The gun that Liu Hanrou is talking about should be a flame blast gun that can play the effect of fireball.
Su Mu didn't use the gun much, so he didn't have any familiar feeling, but Liu Hanrou obviously didn't need to lie to him about this kind of thing.
Throwing the spirit array into someone else's body, this method is indeed only available to Ember Star.
"Xiaoxi, can you confirm?" Qin Yang asked.
"Brother Qin, will you arrest him?" Luo Xiaoxi asked rhetorically, staring at Qin Yang nervously.
In fact, the moment she approached the corpse, she sensed the fluctuation of the spiritual power of the formation.
Liu Hanrou's judgment was not wrong.
Su Mu has been trying his best to avoid this matter being linked to Ember Star, that is, taking into account the question asked by Luo Xiaoxi.
Obviously, the murderer who killed Luo Jinlong was actually on the side of the Dawn Society.
However, according to church law, before a suspect is convicted, killing anyone other than those who have the power to enforce the law immediately is guilty of a crime, and the law enforcement department must hold the murderer criminally accountable in accordance with the law.
This will undoubtedly make it very difficult for Qin Yang to do.
After all, there are still so many pairs of eyes in the Enforcement Bureau.
"I now understand why the teacher asked you to come here." Qin Yang paused and said: "I will go through the process in accordance with the regulations of the Law Enforcement Bureau, no accident, the search warrant can be taken down early tomorrow morning, if you can contact him, let him leave Shengzhe City quickly, and don't come back for two months." ”
If this happened a few days ago, Qin Yang might have turned a blind eye and passed, just like when Su Mu killed the female student who almost poisoned Hoshino Junxia, but now, the Pope is back, and he has to do some things to come out, otherwise if he, the director, is removed by the Pope who finds an opportunity, it will greatly affect the teacher's plan.
"Seriously, I still like the no-holds-barred life I used to have." Su Mu said softly, "You need to be careful in everything now, and the feeling of walking on thin ice is really uncomfortable." ”
Qin Yang patted Su Mu's shoulder: "Get through this hurdle, and we will be free." ”
In this world, everyone lives within all kinds of rules and regulations, and there are unspoken rules everywhere, even if he Qin Yang and Su Mu are doing the same thing of "bending the law for personal gain" today.
They felt they were right, but under the law they were wrong, so even if they had a clear conscience, they had to cover up their actions as if they were thieves.
It's really frustrating.
However, as Qin Yang said, as long as you get through this hurdle, everything will be fine.
Auroville could make its own laws that would match the distinction between good and evil against everyone's conscience, so that all people of good will, regardless of race, would be truly free.
"Yangyang, don't forget what you said earlier." Liu Hanrou blinked, "When this matter is over, we will go on our honeymoon." ”
"That's called tourism." Qin Yang corrected, but also said: "Don't worry, I won't regret what I promised." ”
"Don't call it Auroville." Su Mu suddenly said, "Change the name to Liberty City, so as not to make a fuss about the Dawn Society when the church comes." ”
"That's a good name!" Qin Yang's eyes lit up slightly, "It's not Dawn City, it's Liberty City, and this city is not our city, but a city where all those who desire freedom and peace live together!" ”
Not our city?
The director of the Law Enforcement Bureau seems to have regarded himself as a member of the Dawn Society.
From this point, it can be seen that neither Qin Yang nor Su Mu has any ambitions.
"How do I feel like you two are a bit of a secondary two?" Liu Hanrou quipped, "It's not us who is wrong, but the world?" ”
"You'll watch less anime in the future." Qin Yang said in disgust.
Su Mu shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Qin, you just said that you are going to travel, have you thought about where to go?" ”
"Desert!" Before Qin Yang could speak, Liu Hanrou replied without hesitation.
"Minghuang Desert??" Su Mu looked stunned, and then Qin Yang's expression became exciting, "Brother Qin, are you sure you want to go to the Minghuang Desert?" ”
That's Hoshino Junxia's mother, my mother-in-law, and your first love, where Aunt Takejunxia lives, aren't you really afraid that Senior Sister Liu will be jealous?
Su Mu thinks Qin Yang's courage is too fat?
Moreover, who goes to the extralegal restricted area for tourism?
Is it a vacation, or is it going to fight monsters?
However, after such a stroke, Su Mu found that the seniority of his group seemed to be completely messed up.
Qin Yang is his eldest brother, and Hoshino Fire is Qin Yang's brother, and Hoshino Junxia is Hoshinohuo's daughter......
Ahh
When I see Hoshino Fire in the future, should I call him brother or father-in-law?
And that task in the system...
Thinking of this, Su Mu's face gradually became strange.
Qin Yang didn't notice the change in Su Mu's expression, he sighed: "It's not that I want to go to the Minghuang Desert......"
"It's me who wants to go." Liu Hanrou looked cunning, "Senior Brother Su, you don't think I brought up this topic unintentionally, right?" ”
"Or else?" Su Mu said inexplicably.
"I said it to you on purpose." The forensic big sister blinked, "I've heard your little girlfriends say that after the game, you will go to the Minghuang Desert to help Chunxia find her parents, and by the way, hone your own strength, I think, you can actually take Yang Yang and me with you by the way." ”
Saying that, Liu Hanrou also patted the new gun on Qin Yang's waist, "Don't worry, we promise not to hold you back." ”
Su Mu couldn't laugh when he heard it: "Senior Sister Liu, this is not a matter of whether to delay or not, but a question of whether Brother Qin is willing to go." ”
"Go, why not?" As soon as Su Mu's words fell, Qin Yang said an unexpected answer.
The former No. 1 police detective of Shengzhe City raised his head slightly and looked out the window at a 45° angle, his gaze deep and long.
"Some things have to be decided, don't they?"
……
……
