She's coming
10:11 PM, January 3, 2009
Ma Yushuang is a young super-powered criminal police officer. Her superpower is called short-distance teleportation, which is extremely universal. After graduation, she joined the Danjiang City Super Management Bureau.
Just now, she witnessed the entire process of the detective amnesiac cracking Liu Tianyi's kaleidoscope.
After the Memory Master revealed Ren Shanshan's identity, Ma Yushuang was arranged by the team leader Wang Ruibin to accompany the team to Danshida to arrest Ren Shanshan.
As soon as the police car appeared at the Normal University, it was immediately spotted by the media at the school gate. Many reporters crowded forward to inquire about the incident of induced mental illness, and some parents asked when the lockdown would be lifted.
Under the arrangement of the school, they broke through the crowd, entered the school and went straight to the dormitory building.
"Don't move! The Super Management Department is enforcing the law!"
In this case, there were suspected to be several unidentified super-powered criminals around Ren Shanshan. Ma Yushuang's team quickly arrested her while ensuring the safety of other students.
When they broke into the house, Ren Shanshan did not resist or react, and there were no accomplices in the house.
She just leaned against a pillow on the bed, like a terminally ill patient.
"I'm almost dying." Ren Shanshan said suddenly, and she watched Ma Yushuang handcuff her without blinking.
The dormitory she lived in was naturally not the dormitory where Liu Tianyi died. Even if the school was closed, the school would not let them live in the dormitory where someone had just died out of consideration for their rights.
The other two roommates were scared like quails, shivering and huddled in the corner. A female police officer from the same team whispered to them to comfort them and told them that they also needed to make statements.
Ren Shanshan was handcuffed, got out of bed obediently, and repeated:
"I'm dying, she's coming. They won't save me, you can't save me."
"If you have anything to say, save it for the interrogation room!" Ma Yushuang stared at Ren Shanshan closely, fearing that something might happen.
Ma Yushuang has experienced many emergencies. She has even seen extreme criminals who turned themselves into human bombs. Fortunately, she used her teleportation ability to resolve the crisis.
This time, an unprecedented ability to possess other bodies appeared. Ma Yushuang was on edge, always on guard against Ren Shanshan.
Ren Shanshan didn't move at all. She went downstairs silently and got into the police car silently.
Ma Yushuang observed that Ren Shanshan was dressed neatly, as if she had expected to be arrested.
In the police car, the team leader of this mission asked seriously: "Ren Shanshan, where is your accomplice? Tell us now and we can get you a lenient sentence."
Ren Shanshan repeated: "They won't save me."
When the team leader found out that he couldn't get anything out of her, he arranged for Ma Yushuang to sit next to Ren Shanshan and immediately rushed back to the Super Management Bureau.
The prison vans that transport super-powered criminals have been specially modified to be able to resist most super-powers.
Ren Shanshan was handcuffed in a corner of the car. Her eyes suddenly lit up and her cheeks flushed with excitement: "She's coming."
At the same time, Ma Yushuang's intercom rang, and the voice of the team leader came from it: "Captain Wang asked us to collect the superpower residues on Ren Shanshan."
"But Ren Shanshan is alive..." Ma Yushuang found that Ren Shanshan was becoming more and more abnormal. She ignored the intercom and quickly picked up the instrument to successfully collect the residue.
With a beep from the instrument, the team leader on the other end of the intercom asked: "Have you collected it?"
"Stop the car! Ren Shanshan's heartbeat is abnormally fast, as if she suddenly saw something!"
Before the prison van stopped, Ma Yushuang used his short-distance teleportation ability to bring Ren Shanshan under the van. The team leader and the accompanying doctor immediately got out of the police car behind.
However, it was too late. Ren Shanshan's heart stopped beating and she fell to the ground with her eyes wide open. Her clothes on the front and back were all soaked with sweat.
Her lips were slightly parted, her tongue frozen inside, as if she had seen something so horrible that she couldn't even scream.
Ma Yushuang tightly grasped the instrument in his hand that was flashing red light, and looked in the direction of Ren Shanshan's gaze, but there was nothing there.
Ma Yushuang suddenly understood that Ren Shanshan was dressed neatly not because she expected she would be arrested, but because she knew that death was approaching.
At 1:03 am on January 4, 2010, in the Memory Master Detective Agency, Chen Yingsheng received a call from Wang Ruibin.
Lao Wang repeated: "Ren Shanshan is dead. Before she died, we collected the superpower residue from her. Please come to the Superpower Management Bureau again."
"I'll be there in a minute." Chen Yingsheng said decisively, "I'll hang up first. I have a client here."
"Okay, come quickly, the permit has been approved." It seemed that someone was looking for Wang Ruibin, so he quickly hung up the phone.
Across the table, Huang was still looking at her with hopeful eyes. Chen Yingsheng said helplessly: "You misunderstood. My information was not obtained from the insiders of Century Interactive Entertainment."
"If I had internal channels, I would have checked it long ago and wouldn't have taken you so long."
"Alas." Old Huang sighed, "Forget it. My old face is worthless anyway. It's not easy for a young man. I'll go and apologize to him tomorrow morning with my son."
He put his wallet in his pocket and looked at Chen Yingsheng's phone: "Miss, who's looking for you? Your boyfriend?"
"My boyfriend is more important than my work," Chen Yingsheng replied with a smile.
"Work is important, work is important." Old Huang laughed and said some witty remarks that he thought were humorous, then walked away with a bulging belly.
After he and his Porsche disappeared from the door, Chen Yingsheng rushed to the refrigerator almost like flying, grabbed a can of iced coffee and drank it, then took the car keys and stepped on the accelerator.
Ren Shanshan must have died in the fake human game, Chen Yingsheng thought with certainty.
The fact that her permit was approved so quickly shows that the police clearly treated the Ren Shanshan case together with the previous two cases, and they had no idea about this internally.
Even if the winter in the north is not cold, the wind is strong. Outside the car window, the cold wind blew through the bare branches, making a slight sound.
She drove quickly to the Super Management Bureau, and the security guard Lao Zhou greeted her: "Why are you back?"
"I came back to get something." Chen Yingsheng said casually, as if she had a sudden idea. "Old Zhou, can I park my car in the innermost parking space between two trees?"
"Stop, anywhere." Lao Zhou didn't ask why, "You can park anywhere in the yard."
It doesn't have to be an exclusive parking space that some director or section chief is used to parking in.
Chen Yingsheng drove his car forward into the parking space, got out of the car and looked around with satisfaction before going up to the third floor to find Wang Ruibin.
She did this because she had experienced too much harassment from the media.
Chen Yingsheng has worked as a foreign detective many times, and she knows very well how attractive bizarre cases like the pseudo-human game are to the media.
Even though their detective's reputation was partly hyped up by the media, she didn't like being bothered when investigating a case, so she parked her car inside and hid it so that the media wouldn't know she had anything to do with the case.
Wang Ruibin is not on the third floor. He is in the network security office on the fourth floor. It seems that this case is led by Li Ying.
Chen Yingsheng felt a headache as he recalled the rumors about Li Ying. It was said that Li Ying didn't like detectives.
Li Ying's evaluation of the detective was sharp and objective:
"Detectives? They are just a bunch of self-righteous amateurs who always think they are smarter than others. They have not received formal police training, but they always like to interfere in cases and make a mess of things. They don't understand the real rules, nor do they understand the pressure and danger we face on the front line."
This assessment is actually quite accurate. Most novice detectives have no idea how the police system works.
Moreover, detectives not only take on murder and homicide cases, but many detectives work in the gray area, doing work that is not prohibited by law but cannot be spoken of.
However, Chen Yingsheng's permission has been approved, so it doesn't matter whether Li Ying likes it or not.
Not wanting to wait for the elevator, Chen Yingsheng climbed the stairs all the way to the fourth floor and saw Zuo Xufei and his colleagues hiding in the stairwell.
Zuo Xufei immediately stopped her: "There's a quarrel going on inside, don't go in."
"The permission has been approved. I'll take out the case file and look at it." Chen Yingsheng couldn't wait any longer.
"They're arguing about you." said a female police officer awkwardly.
Chen Yingsheng shut up, stood up and eavesdropped with them.
The argument seemed to be reaching a fierce moment, Wang Ruibin said in a loud voice: "The permit has been expedited and she is qualified to investigate the case together. Why are you stopping her?"
"As the leader of the task force, I must be responsible for all team members." Li Ying's tone was calm, but her voice was sonorous and powerful.
"If Zuo Xufei hadn't reported the matter of Luo Chunxi and Luo Lina, I would definitely not have stopped him. I would be very happy to have a famous detective added to the team."
"But I feel that the way the Memory Master handled this matter was inappropriate. She knew that the two people were related to the case, but she did not report it to us and even let them go without permission."
"She doesn't know the ins and outs of the case, how could she--" Wang Ruibin was interrupted.
"I'm not sharp enough." Chen Yingsheng stepped into the office.
"Captain Li is right to criticize me. When Lolina found me two days ago, I didn't know that the fake human game caused death. I failed to connect the two events and report it to the police in advance."
Li Ying's eyes were sharp: "You know tonight, why did you let Lolina go?"
"If Luo Chunxi is really playing a fake human game, Lo Lina's abnormal behavior shows that she may know the inside story of the fake human game." Chen Yingsheng took a step closer.
"I had direct contact with them, and she and her mother didn't seem to trust the police. I don't think it was the right choice to arrest Lorena for trespassing at the time."
Li Ying asked back: "If I don't trust the police, how can I trust you?"
"No, they need to trust someone they can trust, and then let that person help them trust the police," Chen Yingsheng said without hesitation.
"In Captain Li's eyes, I may not be the trustworthy person. But even if I am disqualified from investigating the case, I hope that someone will be able to contact Lolina in the right way, rather than arresting her as a suspect and interrogating her."
Chen Yingsheng stood there with a calm expression, accepting everyone's scrutiny, as if he really didn't care about the so-called qualifications for investigating the case.
