In the Super Management Bureau, Chen Yingsheng opened his eyes, and the memories that were blocked by the kaleidoscope came flooding back like a tide.
The identity of the Holy Spirit Hong Jinsheng also came back to his mind. Hong Jinsheng founded the Self-Religion in the 30th year of the new calendar, claiming that it could help everyone in the world gain super powers.
Before this, people had just gone through a period later called the "Ten Years of Silence", during which no one with super powers was born. Hong Jinsheng said that he ended the silent period and allowed super powers to return to the world.
He claimed that he adopted the Son and Daughter of God according to God's will, and preached the Trinity of the Holy Spirit, the Son and the Daughter of God in the church.
In just five years, the religion grew rapidly.
In the 36th year of the new calendar, Hong Jinsheng organized a large-scale gathering on the shore of Changbo Lake in Liuzhu City despite being hunted by the Super Management Bureau.
He killed everyone present at the meeting, and his two adopted children, whom he gave the status of Holy Son and Holy Daughter, also died.
Afterwards, he set a huge fire and burned himself to death in the sea of fire. Now it seems that he did not self-immolate, but experienced what he believed to be "ascension" through the sacrifice of drug residue.
This year is the 99th year of the lunar calendar, and Lolina is 17 years old.
Luo Chunxi, should be called Xiangbang Aku, was born in 1981 in the new calendar.
From the 36th year of the new calendar to the 81st year, Hong Jinsheng was imprisoned in the old factory for 45 years.
It wasn't until Ah Ku, who had concealed her pregnancy and joined the company, broke his cage that he finally died peacefully.
Hong Jinsheng was nearly 100 years old when he died. He had been imprisoned for half his life and had his blood drawn constantly. His life was completely supported by a belief.
This belief is his firm belief in the concept of "ascension".
He would rather believe that the gods outside the house were all crazy, twisted, cruel, weird, and incomprehensible by logic, than believe a single word of truth from the Aku people.
He is certainly a bad guy and deserves retribution. If this is retribution for Hong Jinsheng, it is an extremely terrible retribution.
Imprisoning a person in a factory with lies, fantasies and hopes, turning him into a cow that produces blood.
"Shou Lao is Hong Jinsheng, the shocking truth!"
This was the sigh uttered by the soft-spoken Jiang Yinghui.
Chen Yingsheng nodded in agreement, then apologized: "I'm sorry that I didn't give you the chance to use your superpowers on Hong Jinsheng again."
"Don't apologize. Hong Jinsheng has long realized that something is wrong. He won't fall for it again."
Chen Yingsheng sat up: "Where are the others?"
"Captain Wang asked them to leave," Jiang Yinghui explained. "Mingmu was the first to wake up. She told Hong Jinsheng that she could tell lies. Hong Jinsheng immediately gave her a tube of blood and asked her to leave the factory."
Hong Jinsheng is afraid of the supernatural power of seeing clearly.
Jiang Yinghui was helpless: "But Mingmu opened the champagne in the second half after getting the blood and told Hong Jinsheng that she was lying. Her superpower can only be activated by looking directly into the other person's eyes."
Mingmu must have felt ashamed when she woke up from the kaleidoscope and found that the ghost story was not over yet, so she increased the difficulty of the ghost story in disguise.
But Chen Yingsheng said: "Don't blame her, she doesn't know that the rules are deceiving people. We are not A Ku's personality. She thought that everyone can leave together after getting the blood."
Jiang Yinghui shook his head: "She is too young. Why did the director put her in?"
Chen Yingsheng didn't respond. Jiang Yinghui could say such words, but she couldn't.
She changed the subject: "It's two-sided"
"Two-faced was the second one to wake up. He told Hong Jinsheng that there was no split personality at all and the factory owner had deceived everyone. Hong Jinsheng followed the rules and gave the blood to Two-faced."
The third rule in Hong Jinsheng's hut: If a god finds out that he is an independent individual, give him your blood immediately to escape danger.
"The captain was called away by Lao Wang. Qimingxing was talking to Captain Li in the conference room. You were the last one to wake up." Jiang Yinghui sat next to Chen Yingsheng. "Could the owner of the factory be the god mentioned by Hong Jinsheng?"
"So far, all research on the Betrayal religion has shown that they have a common god, but no one has ever seen the god in person, and unlike what Hong Jinsheng described, the god can take over other people's bodies at will."
Chen Yingsheng didn’t know who the owner of the factory was, nor did she know whether Luo Chunxi, who was responsible for recruiting people, could escape the subsequent pursuit. She only knew that A Ku and Lina would definitely be in trouble.
Luo Lina's mother is Ah Ku, who replaced Luo Chunxi's identity, so she was reluctant to call the police. She used someone else's identity to live in the world, fearing that she would be discovered and implicate her children.
Li Ying and Lao Wang sent Qimingxing out the door. Jiang Yinghui went up to talk to Li Ying about the case, and Lao Wang walked towards Chen Yingsheng.
Chen Yingsheng asked Lao Wang: "Does Lina know about her mother's situation?"
"I haven't told her yet. That's not the point. Lolina recognized A-Lu's identity."
"Who is it?"
"My name is He Cuifeng. She is a frequent customer of the script-killing shop and the girlfriend of Xu Zhu, the author of the fake human test."
"Cui Feng." Chen Yingsheng repeated.
It is a very rustic name, like a grandmother's, but A-Lu in Ren Shanshan's kaleidoscope is a young man in his twenties.
"The name on her membership card registered at the script-killing store is He Fengcui."
One of the lines in the poem on A-lu’s cell phone screensaver is “Seeing green is like seeing spring, my heart follows the scene.”
Could this poem be written by Xu Zhu to He Cuifeng? Chen Yingsheng remembered that she had originally planned to find someone who knew about ancient poetry to ask why this regulated verse had 12 lines.
She said goodbye to Lao Wang: "Do you still need us for the follow-up investigation? It's okay. I'm leaving first."
She plans to find someone to study the poem.
Lao Wang turned around quickly like a thief to look at Jiang Yinghui, who was chatting enthusiastically with Li Ying.
He lowered his voice and said, "Others can leave, but you can't. There has been progress on the strange relic you mentioned before entering the Aku Kaleidoscope."
"I got the kaleidoscope this time too. It was a handful of dead leaves."
Lao Wang led Chen Yingsheng inside, intentionally avoiding Jiang Yinghui, and said:
"It is a new breakthrough of the Kaleidoscope R&D team of Danjiang University. The fusion of two relics from the same source can enter the kaleidoscope of the superpower user himself."
Chen Yingsheng opened his eyes wide: "It can directly find the superpower criminals!"
"Keep your voice down." Lao Wang said quickly, "This is a new discovery. I just recorded the process of Aku Kaleidoscope and sent it to Danjiang University. If it can be confirmed that the remains of Ren Shanshan Kaleidoscope and Aku Kaleidoscope are from the same source, I will arrange for you to enter the new Kaleidoscope immediately."
"Can I go with He Cuifeng to see her?"
Chen Yingsheng should not ask this question. As an external employee, she cannot participate in the actual investigation and evidence collection process and can only provide her own insights and suggestions based on the results.
But she still asked, she wanted to know more about the case and do more for Ah Ku. Ah Ku had become a big tree, and her peaceful life should not be cruelly disrupted by others.
Lao Wang looked at her unexpectedly and seemed to be hesitating.
Chen Yingsheng saw Lao Wang's dilemma, and she said frankly: "It has been five days since Ah Ku finished the fake human test, and there are only two days left. Time is very tight. Within the scope allowed by the regulations, I want to contact as many suspects as possible and solve the case as soon as possible."
"Alas." Lao Wang sighed, "I'll discuss it with Li Ying and arrange for you to go with the special investigation team."
He looked in the direction of Li Ying and Jiang Yinghui from afar. Li Ying was sending Jiang Yinghui out of the Super Management Bureau.
Chen Yingsheng looked at Lao Wang's back: "Ah Ku...when she wakes up, she will find that the identity she has been hiding has been exposed."
"That's a matter for later," Lao Wang said. "The only thing we can do is to save her life first."
The image of Lolina scooping soup with a large iron spoon at the stall appeared in front of Chen Yingsheng.
The flowers were growing vigorously, she thought, everything the tree had done would not be in vain.
After Jiang Yinghui was sent away by Li Ying, Lao Wang went over to discuss something with Li Ying.
Li Ying called Chen Yingsheng to get in the car together: "We found someone who looks like a fake girl."
Chen Yingsheng took the tablet computer handed over by Lao Wang. On the screen was a photo of a twenty-year-old young man.
Chen Yingsheng subconsciously swiped to the left, thinking that Lao Wang had made a mistake.
"That's him." Lao Wang said with certainty, "He Kang, an autistic patient. He Cuifeng used to work as a nanny in his home, and her main job was to take care of He Kang."
He Kang looks very much like an older autistic patient in the eyes of the general public.
His round and puffy cheeks are a typical hormonal face. His hair is shaved flat for easier management. His eyes look dull and anyone who sees him will avoid him.
There is no resemblance to the fake girl.
"You guys solve the case in A Ku's kaleidoscope, and we'll be outside showing Lolina the people involved who appeared in Ren Shanshan's kaleidoscope."
"As soon as Lolina heard A-Lu's voice, she immediately recognized that A-Lu was a regular customer of the script-killing store, whose member name was He Fengcui. Our police officers went to the store to retrieve the surveillance video, and after voiceprint comparison, they confirmed that He Fengcui and A-Lu were the same person."
"After further investigation, it was found that He Fengcui's real name was He Cuifeng, a 25-year-old migrant worker who worked as a domestic worker in the city and filled in her employer's home as her place of residence."
"We quickly set out to the employer's home, but were told that she had asked for leave to return to her hometown more than half a month ago and had never returned to Danjiang since then."
More than half a month ago, it was exactly the date when Ren Shanshan participated in the pseudo-human script killing. It seems that after He Cuifeng failed the interview with Jianxia, she immediately ran away in disgrace.
"We quickly investigated He Cuifeng's employer and found He Kang."
Chen Yingsheng held up the tablet and his mobile phone and compared the photos of He Kang and the fake girl, but could not see any similarities at all.
She asked: "Why do you say he is a fake girl?"
Li Ying replied: "After comparison by the facial recognition system, his facial geometry is completely consistent with that of the fake girl."
"To put it simply, the fake girl is He Kang who changed his gender and got burned." Li Ying was exhausted but excited. "The screening I did with my colleagues in the network security team earlier was not wasted."
Lao Wang turned around and asked Chen Yingsheng: "Do you still remember that red suspender skirt?"
"Remember."
In the fake human test, the fake girl and the child model wore the same red overalls skirt. Li Ying followed this clue for a long time and even used her super powers to read the reviews of the online stores.
Li Ying's superpower is online image development. After seeing a speech of more than 15 words on the Internet, the speaker's appearance, name and location can appear in her mind. In some cases, she can even see the general situation when the speaker typed the words.
"I 'saw' He Kang and He Cuifeng," Li Ying said. "He Cuifeng was sitting at the table holding her phone and angrily giving a bad review to the store because the store refused to return her goods. He Kang was drawing beside her."
“Why not return the product?”
"The skirt has been deformed by wearing it."
Chen Yingsheng enlarged the photo of He Kang: "The body shape of He Kang and the fake girl is totally different."
"So we rushed to He Kang's house."
Lao Wang in the driver's seat held the steering wheel steadily.
"He Kang's family lives in a residential building opposite the Seventh Middle School. His father is He Dayong and his mother is Zhang Xiaona. The family's main source of income is the snack stand jointly run by his parents, which is often visited by students from the Seventh Middle School."
Lolina is a student at No. 7 Middle School. She said she seemed to have seen the fake girl, who might be He Kang.
However, He Kang and the fake girl have no similarities at all. Unless Lolina is equipped with a facial recognition system, she would not be able to recognize He Kang as the fake girl.
Lao Wang was not driving a police car, he was driving his own car. He might have been worried that driving a police car into the community in a high-profile manner would attract nosy media reporters.
He said, “Here we are.”
Chen Yingsheng looked up and saw the name of the community.
