Chapter 61. Opening 8 Redemptions
The police officers who found the body immediately became vigilant, and the accompanying companions drew their weapons one after another, shouting: "No one is allowed to leave!" β
Zhou Jinru sat not far away and watched this scene, obviously he was also within the scope of the reprimands of the police officers, according to the normal process, he should be asked to go to the police station to make a record together.
In less than two minutes, a sharp-eyed police officer noticed him, put away his weapon, and walked over and asked, "Sir, what are you doing here at such a late hour?" β
You're so polite, but that's not the case just now.
Zhou Jinru had only seen him treat a wanderer roughly, but now he had a different attitude, mostly because the clothes he was wearing were decent enough.
"I'm resting here, just had a little drink and was a little uncomfortable."
The young police officer nodded, believing Zhou Jinru's words, his eyes softened: "Sir, there is a little accident here, I hope you can cooperate with our work and go to the police station to make a record, it won't take too long." β
"Do you have to go?"
The police officer coughed lightly: "Yes, all those present must make a record, this is what the chief of police intended." β
It seemed that this trip was unavoidable, Zhou Jinru put the dice in his pocket, got up and said, "Then let's go." β
Seeing him cooperate so much, the nervous police officer breathed a sigh of relief, if the man in front of him was unwilling, or if he moved out of a big person, even the police station should be cautious.
"Sir, don't be nervous, just make a note and you can go home and rest later."
Of course I'm not nervous, it's you who are nervous.
Zhou Jinru's footsteps suddenly stopped, looked at the police officer with a nervous expression, and asked, "Can I make a call to my master?" β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The police station in Lentinium is divided into several districts, each with different heads, and only one chief.
In the middle of the night, lights were still on in police stations in the eastern part of the city, and transcripts were being taken in several interrogation rooms.
Zhou Jinru was not treated unfairly, and even the head of the police station invited him to a cup of coffee, because he made a phone call when he came, and his father's surname was Shivaesh.
"Mr. Zhou, it's unfortunate that you've been frightened, corpses can be found every day in Lentinium, most of them have died of natural causes, including the Tomisir River, and the river workers often complain to us that there are too many people who commit suicide by throwing themselves into the river."
The head of the police station was a rather talkative middle-aged man, and his eyes lit up at the mention of these things, as bright as his Mediterranean Sea in the refraction of the light.
"There are many kinds of misfortunes in this world, and we have seen very few of them."
Zhou Jinru had to say perfunctorily, if there are often suicides in an area, or if someone dies in the open air, then this must be a very terrible place, but the citizens who live here regard it as an after-dinner conversation.
The head of the police station took a sip of coffee: "You're right......"
The door of the police station was pushed open, and a police officer led the well-dressed Shivaish in, and he saw Zhou Jinru sitting at his desk drinking coffee at a glance, and asked the head of the police station: "Do I need to pay bail?" β
"No, you don't!"
The head of the police station immediately put down the coffee cup, quickly straightened up, and smiled all over his face: "Mr. Shivaash, your manservant has not committed a crime, and there is no suspicion, he just witnessed a death, and there is no need to pay any bail, you can take him away now." β
"Well, thanks, excuse me."
When Shivaish walked in, he didn't take off his top hat, he still had a cane in his hand, and the previous bail was just a pretext, and the head of the police station told everything very well, and the matter was settled.
Zhou Jinru and Shivaish looked at each other and were speechless for a while, the latter's body leaned forward slightly, and said seriously: "Try not to go to some remote places at night, it is easy to have accidents." β
No, it's not like that.
You're wearing the same black gown you wore before, but your cane was made of solid wood, which meant it was heavy, and it could be used as a combat weapon, and you weren't wearing leather shoes, but a pair of boots, and although well hidden under your trousers, the mud spots on the heels proved that you hadn't come from the mansion.
"You're right, I'll take care of it."
Zhou Jinru nodded in agreement, his performance was a little different from that of a manservant, and he was no longer as mellow and skilled as before.
Shivaish pursed his lips, greeted several officers in the police station and turned to leave, just then, there was a commotion outside the door, several police officers twisted a shabby girl in, passing by Zhou Jinru and Shivaash, her head was hit hard by the police officers.
"Don't offend anyone!"
Zhou Jinru turned to look at the person in charge of the police station: "What happened?" β
"Theft!"
A woman with a sassy voice walked in from the outside, wearing a well-fitting police station uniform, her right hand pressed the hilt of the knife hanging behind her back, and her gaze swept over the two men.
"We met her on patrol and she had stolen the contents of the Church of Tranquility, and Father Albert had been notified to come and claim it."
"Ms. Chen, this is Mr. Shivaish, you should have heard his last name."
Sir Chen, no matter where you go, are you a superintendent?
Zhou Jinru looked at the heroic Chen, her current identity is a senior police officer of the Victoria Police Department, which is very in line with the character in reality.
There are still traces of the rules in the sitcom, Silver Ash is the chairman of the Kara Trade, his identity is the patriarch of the Shivaish family, Chen Sir has been the head of the law enforcement agency all the year round, and her identity is a rather experienced senior superintendent, not to mention that she is a profiteer.
The performance identities of the three cadres Zhou Jinru saw were very suitable for their personalities, but he was the only one who was obviously a high-level Rhode Islander, but he became a man, and he couldn't get rid of the manservant after changing his identity twice, which was really depressing.
"Hello, Mr. Shivaesh......"
Before Chen's greeting was finished, the door of the police station was pushed open again, and a man in a priest's black robe ran in panting, sweating profusely and asked, "Where is Adella?" β
"Father Albert, you're here."
The priest gasped, apparently he was chasing all the way, and the first thing he said was to ask where Adele was, most likely not to hold him responsible.
Zhou Jinru thought in his heart, the priest glanced inside the police station, found the girl locked in the iron fence cell, and said eagerly: "Adella didn't steal, all the belongings on her body were given to her by me!" β
"You gave it?"
The head of the police station looked at the priest incredulously.
"Yes, I gave it to her, she is a good person, she has not committed a crime, she is not a criminal."
"Really?"
"It's true!"
The person in charge of the police station glanced at Chen, who had caught Adella in, and closed his eyes: "According to the normal process, you can close the case by making a transcript, Father Albert, what do you think?" β
"Something should be done."
Holding the emblem of the sun hanging from his chest, the priest reverently said, "God will warm the believers and bring light to them." β
He handed the sun emblem to the girl, and the tearful girl stretched out her hand and clung to the sun emblem through the iron fence, as if everything was redeemed.
The picture freezes at this moment, gradually becoming illusory, and everything falls silent.
The first act ends with the Fog Orphan.
Zhou Jinru opened his eyes, it was already morning, he slept all night, what happened still in his mind, he could recall it clearly, it was not like a dream, it dissipated when he woke up.
"This is a sitcom?"
He has no intersection with the main plot, and in the last scene, when he sees the girl holding the emblem of the sun, he can basically determine that the girl named Adela is the heroine.
It's a pretty real scene, almost another life.
Putting on his coat, Zhou Jinru walked out of the room, and happened to see Angel and Texas appear together, the latter with an autistic expression.
"What's wrong with Texas?"
Able Angel glanced at his companion and whispered, "Doctor, we have become a pair of sisters in the sitcom!" β
"What's wrong with my sister?"
"My identity is the daughter of a small businessman, and Texas turned out to be a killer hired by a business rival, and her first act was to assassinate my father."
"And then!"
Zhou Jinru's eyes lit up, how could he not be curious about such a scene of falling in love and killing each other?
The scene in the sitcom is the whole of Lentinium, a super mobile city with tens of millions of people, and countless bloody plots are staged, and the rivalry between Angel and Texas is just the tip of the iceberg.
"I was almost killed by Texas, my identity is a very good little daughter who is protected by her father, she has almost no combat ability, and I can't master the combat ability in reality, so it's miserable, but fortunately, at the last moment, that guy from Lapland suddenly appeared and disrupted the Texas assassination."
"Ah Neng, don't say it."
Texas's face darkened, and he became even more autistic as the Angel of Energy described.
Whoa, whoa!
"It doesn't matter, it's only the first act, and the official content hasn't started yet."
When he thought of the dog and the dog cutting each other, leaving each other's wounds for the sake of the poor Angel Neng, he was full of interest!
It's a pity that Mostima is not there, the fallen angel disappeared yesterday, and no one knows where she is.
When he walked into the lobby of the hotel, the operators greeted him one after another, and Zhou Jinru responded, took a breakfast, and sat down to enjoy it.
"Doctor, what is your identity, I have walked a long way in the sitcom and failed to find you."
Wrapping Pill, who was sitting opposite Zhou Jinru, asked while eating.
"He's Mr. Silvergray's valet, I've seen him already."
There was no doubt that the person who was talking was a song, and the Plump Hoof was looking at him with a strange look.
Zhou Jinru snorted: "Lentinium is so big, it's normal that you can't find me, but my luck is good, it happens to be near the main plot, and at the last moment of the first act, it happened to be at the scene of the plot." β
Superintendent Longmen, who was sitting around, couldn't help but complain:
"You're indeed on the scene, but you're in the game, and Silver Gray is here to pick you up."
Xingxiong said bitterly: "Ah Chen, you are still a superintendent, but I have become the number one thug of the gang, do you think we will become hostile in the end?" β
That's natural, the rivalry between the gangster sister and the sassy police flower is very interesting.
Zhou Jinru bites the sandwich and listens to the description of the plot by the operators, who are scattered in all directions of Lentinium, with different identities and plots, but they all belong to dynamic plots that are outside the main line.
"Where's Vina?"
"She shouldn't have gotten up yet, the breeze is calling."
"I'll take a look."
Zhou Jinru held a glass of milk and got up to go to Vina's room.
The characters of the operators all have a characteristic, when they participate in the performance, they can only act in accordance with their own identity, in other words, as a special operations officer, Chen, she cannot casually draw her weapon, because it does not conform to her identity, and the subconscious prevents her from doing anything.
Only he is different.
Zhou Jinru pulled out his gun several times in the entertainment center to test the restrictions of sitcoms, and it turned out that the performance rules had very low restrictions on him.
Before coming to Vina's room, the door was not closed, but hidden, pushing the door in, the breeze was not there, Vina was leaning against the head of the bed, looking over.
"My Queen, why are you lying in bed?"
"Isn't it normal for the queen to lie in bed?"
Zhou Jinru sat on the edge of the bed with a smile: "Did you have fun last night?" β
"Hmm."
Miss Aslan answered, and then fell silent, she raised her head, and whispered, "I'm going home in the plot." β
"Good thing, how does it feel?"
Vina's expression was a little strange: "It's not good, it doesn't seem to be my home." β
She walked into her room and found that the dΓ©cor inside was completely different from before, and she couldn't find anyone she knew, and her home was an extremely unfamiliar environment.
"I do remember something."
Zhou Jinru thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know about the abolition of the Child Labor Act?" β
Although he did not participate in the plot, he knew a lot of information, although he couldn't find the specific time in the sitcom, but in reality it was still okay.
"In 883, Victoria officially passed the law abolishing child labour, but it wasn't until 890 that it was really perfected, which was two hundred years ago."
It turns out that this is the case, the time of this sitcom goes back to two hundred years ago, Zhou Jinru suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, no wonder it looks quite old.
Vena also heard what he meant, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be two hundred years ago?!" β
Zhou Jinru stretched out his hand: "I asked the operators, they never asked what time in the plot, it seems that I am the only one who found the problem." β
Two hundred years ago, Victoria, of course, could not find any traces of her life, and everything became logical.
"It's time to get up, we're going to go into town today."
The sitcom is performed at night, and during the day, they can act to their heart's content, and they have to sleep at night anyway.
"By the way, Vina, do you know where the Chapel of Tranquility is?"
Vina narrowed her eyes: "This is also what you found out in the sitcom?" β
Without waiting for Zhou Jinru to answer, she said to herself: "In the Western Region, that's where I'm going." β
