Chapter 304: That's it

Meng Chao opened his mouth for a long time.

Shen Yupeng's doubts are also his doubts.

In addition to the contradiction with the "spiritual creature", Jin Yongqiang did not have an endless contradiction with anyone.

And it is impossible for the "spirit creation creature" to know about his poisoning of pet beasts.

Otherwise, it's good to call the police directly, and his own law will punish him, so why get into trouble?

But even if there is no evidence, Meng Chao still firmly believes that Jin Yongqiang's death is not an accident.

Because of the quest prompt above his horizon, he has jumped to [Mystery of the Demon God, 8% of the quest progress].

As the case gradually came to light, the progress of the mission improved a lot.

This shows that Jin Yongqiang's death is absolutely inseparable from the "demon god".

But how should I say this to Shen Yupeng?

Meng Chao thought for a long time, and could only say, "So, it's over?" ”

"Or else?"

Shen Yupeng asked rhetorically, "We have caught the mastermind behind the scenes, and we have also caught the provider of the madness medicine, and we have also found special syringes and other tools to commit the crime in the home of the direct perpetrator of the case.

"Meng Chao, I know what you're thinking, but this case is not as simple as you imagined, today's biochemical modulation and monster industry practitioners' gathering and parade, did you see the news?"

Meng Chao nodded: "I see, it is said that tens of thousands of people participated." ”

"It's not tens of thousands, it's hundreds of thousands, you know how high the unemployment rate in Longcheng is now, a lot of idle young people are wandering around the streets and alleys, how can they not join in the fun when they encounter this kind of thing?"

Shen Yupeng sighed and said, "If the case can't be closed as soon as possible, the contradictions between the biochemical modulation technical supporters and the rune machinery technical supporters are becoming more and more acute, today you will engage in a big parade of tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of pet beasts, and tomorrow I will drive the hundreds of tons of mine excavators on the main road, drive to the front of the transcendent tower to block the traffic, and then attract hundreds of thousands of unemployed young people full of anger to watch.

"The above means, I don't want to see the contradiction between biochemical modulation technology and rune machinery technology intensify, and we must come to a conclusion about this case as soon as possible, appease the emotions of all parties, and increase the risk of detonating the whole city every day that it drags on, do you understand?

"Despite the heavy pressure, we did not act hastily, let alone give in, but fought day and night for more than forty-eight hours, and did a lot of meticulous work, believe me, 99% of this case can stand repeated verification, after all, once we throw out the conclusion, we will definitely have to face the double nitpicking of the 'biochemical modulation faction' and the 'rune mechanic faction', and it is impossible not to complete the iron case.

"Even if there is a 1% flaw in the issue of Jin Yongqiang's death, I believe that no one will care, not the 'spiritual creatures', and the 'heavenly machinery' that is overwhelmed."

"But—"

Meng Chao said in a deep voice, "If Jin Yongqiang is really killed, and the murderer is still at large, what will happen next time he commits a crime?" ”

"Then wait for the next time he commits a crime, and then bring him to justice."

Shen Yupeng picked up another bowl of porridge and smiled, "I think we are too negative in doing things, not like the legendary secret police who are wise and martial and solve cases like gods, right?"

"No way, we live in a very different world from the earth, and our civilization and the earth's civilization, although similar in appearance, are fundamentally different.

"In our society, there are a large number of humanoid beasts, humanoid tanks, humanoid battle fortresses, and humanoid bombshells called 'transcendents' - they have amazing destructive power and superb criminal skills, and we can hardly stop any transcendent from committing crimes, nor can we judge which transcendent person has the potential to commit crimes.

"Let's just talk about you, classmate Meng Chao, of course you are in your prime now, you are extraordinary, you have a wide range of friends, and you have a bright future, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to commit a crime.

"But as long as you make the slightest mistake in your cultivation, let a wisp of insignificant spiritual energy rush into your central nervous system, and destroy or transform a small area the size of a grain of rice in your brain domain, it may cause you to go mad, change your temperament drastically, and give birth to a strong desire to kill and destroy.

"Excuse me, how can we prevent such an out-of-control crime in advance?

"And how can you guarantee that you will never go mad when you cultivate?"

Meng Chao thought about it for a long time, and he really couldn't guarantee it.

"Even the resources of the Transcendent Tower and the Inquisition Court are limited, whether it is manpower, case handling funds, or the collateral damage that may be caused when handling the case, they are all quite limited."

Shen Yupeng said helplessly, "I also want to close the case 100% perfectly, but it is impossible to continue to invest 100% of resources for 1% of the flaws, because, when I was investigating the mystery of Jin Yongqiang's death, it is likely that there have been dozens of vicious incidents of transcendental people going mad and losing control of crimes in the whole city. ”

Meng Chao sighed, also got up and added a bowl of porridge, and said: "I know the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and I also understand that many things are like coercing Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea.

"It's like knowing that Golden Tooth Nest City is a place where filth and dirt are hidden, and there are even a large number of wanted criminals hiding in it, but the current Dragon City does not have the ability to completely eradicate it.

"It's just that I am a little unwilling to think that we are so close to the answer, close to truth and justice, but because we want to ease the contradiction between the 'biochemical modulation faction' and the 'rune mechanic faction', we can't trace it to the end."

"Truth and justice have never been pursued by the Secret Police, the Inquisition, the Transcendent Tower, or even the Survival Council."

Shen Yupeng said lightly, "Unity and stability are what Dragon City needs the most at present. ”

"Brother Shen, do you think that there can be 100% unity and stability without 100% truth and justice?" Meng Chao frowned.

"Why not?"

Shen Yupeng came over and stared at Meng Chao, "If I want to pursue 100% justice, the first thing to find out is what happened to the two prospecting teams of Shen Yulong and Lu Siya in the depths of the Nutao Mountains, and whether those prospecting team members who had no bones died from the gushing of the spiritual magnetic storm, or each other's swords and mine hammers."

"Even if this is done, it will lead to a comprehensive escalation or even a complete break between the contradictions between the Huanyu Group and the Qingtian Group, the Shen family and the Lu family, the Inquisition Court and the Investigation Bureau, I should be unmoved, peel back the cocoon, find the real culprit who killed these prospecting team members, and figure out the roles played by Lu Siya, you and Qin Hu in this matter, after all, this is 100% justice, in order to comfort the soul of the deceased in the sky, is the true nature of the secret police, right?

"Look me in the eye and tell me, should I get to the bottom of it?"

Meng Chao was speechless.

"As for the truth, if I want to pursue 100% of the truth, the first person to investigate is still you."

Shen Yupeng continued, "Why did you suddenly rise fifty days before the college entrance examination, break through to the two-star spirit transformation realm in just half a year, and master so many strange secret methods, who is the 'old man who passed on the fire' in your mouth, does it exist or not, is it some crazy illegal scientific research team, or is it simply a criminal group hiding in the depths of Chaocheng?"

"Do you think that I should do whatever it takes to bring your origins, background, and sources of power to ...... Are all aspects thoroughly investigated? ”

Meng Chao was speechless.

"Look, 100% truth and justice just don't bring 100% unity and stability."

Shen Yupeng sat back down, reverted to his lazy and sloppy appearance as the uncle next door, and said lazily, "I have been a member of the court for many years, although there are many stories about me outside, and many people often imagine me as an iron-faced and ruthless person when they hear scary names such as 'secret police', 'adjudicator' and even 'magistrate'.

"But actually, as long as your threat to Dragon City isn't too obvious, I'm not too willing to kill the killer.

"I can turn a blind eye to the conflict that took place under the Nutao Mountain Range, you said that my cousin Shen Yulong and so many prospecting team members were killed by the spiritual magnetic storm tide, then it can be regarded as an accident!

"I can also ignore your origins, you like to make up the story of the 'Old Man of the Fire', then make it up, anyway, every transcendent has his own secrets, and he also likes to make up his own stories.

"For the same reason, even if the mystery of the 'Sega Sky City Pet Beast Murder Incident' is still missing the last piece of the puzzle, the price of finding it out is too high, so this case is over, is it okay?"
