Chapter 033 Cult Simulator

During this period, Ye Cheng was doing very well in the Administration Bureau. Ji Xu sketched out in his mind the image of her that he had memorized during the meeting.

Ye Cheng is a woman with brown hair and curled ends, freckles on her face, light-colored pupils and a warm smile. She looks like an ordinary girl next door. It can be said that as long as she controls her gushing missionary enthusiasm, she can become friends with most police officers who are not on high alert.

In order not to alert the criminals, the Administration would often keep strict confidentiality before taking action, but would relax after catching the murderer. Under the remote command of the former traitor Wang Gu, Ye Cheng quickly found out the details of the interrogation.

As expected, there was no progress. The murderer had no connection with the Church of a Hundred Prayers.

Ye Cheng was constantly delivering messages to Ji Xu, and his actions were more radical than expected: "After they verify the case, they will upload the report to the internal system. I am in the archives room of the Administration now. The radio frequency interference will not last long, or maybe they will be here soon."

She typed quickly, her words full of enthusiasm. "Master, I have thought about your request. After much thought, no one's information can be more comprehensive than the machine's records."

Ji Xu remembered that he had previously asked Ye Cheng to "collect as much information as possible from the Administration."

It's not that Ji Xu's memory has deteriorated and he has forgotten everything in just a few days. In fact, it's the opposite. He was able to cause the murderer and the Administration to have multiple time differences, allowing the murderer to maneuver and retreat during the pursuit and perfectly achieve the goal, largely thanks to Ye Cheng's tip-off.

Obviously Ye Cheng thought this was not enough, and she wanted to offer a more noble gift to the leader she followed.

"This report can only be stored after the case is closed. I tried my best to take photos of the scene. The computer can import the interrogation videos of the past few days, but I don't have the permission. Does Wang Gu have any solution?"

The first part was a report, but the latter part turned into an inquiry into Wang Gu.

No wonder Wang Gu has always been a headache for Ye Cheng. She regards Ji Xu's goals as her own. As long as Ji Xu wants to do something, she will rush to do it at the first time. She is very active and full of subjective initiative, and big trouble will happen if you are not careful.

Most importantly, she was thinking about how to help Ji Xu achieve his goal, rather than how to escape afterwards. In other words, Ye Cheng only considered moving forward, and his colleagues were only worried about the way out.

Wang Gu cleaned up the mess as usual and told her the weak points of the archives room and several low-level but usable key permissions.

He used to be a member of the Administration who was investigating the Church of a Hundred Prayers. The more he investigated, the more he felt empathy. The principles of the Church of a Hundred Prayers were bound to attract some people with chaotic natures, who only pursued justice in the end and were not so law-abiding and wanted to take shortcuts. He would use blood for blood to impose harsher sanctions than the law.

Of course, according to his former colleagues, Wang Gu was seduced into betrayal by a cult. In short, he is not a good person.

Ji Xu was flipping through documents while listening to the conversation between her two assistants. Ye Cheng called her. She inserted the USB drive into the system and imported it according to the size of the memory. At the same time, following Wang Gu's instructions, she found a screwdriver stuck with tape under cabinet number seven and pried open a rusted window.

Wang Gu's dark circles seemed to be even darker. He looked exhausted, but his tone revealed a subtle pride. "I deliberately hid the loophole before I left, just in case."

I don't know whether it's Ye Cheng who takes the lead and charges, or Wang Gu who calmly leaves room for maneuver before betraying, who is more terrifying. After the theft in the archives room, even without evidence, Ye Cheng will become the number one wanted criminal in the Administration, far ahead of Wang Gu, and second only to Ji Xu.

There was a sound of banging on the door from the other side of the phone. Ye Cheng had used a cabinet to prop up the door to buy time for his actions.

She smacked her lips, unplugged the USB drive, and jumped out of the window into another corridor. "Luckily I was prepared. And the radio frequency interference was not used up yet, what a waste."

If the preparation Ye Cheng mentioned meant rushing in recklessly.

The phone was not hung up. Ye Cheng never hung up the conversation with Ji Xu on her own initiative. She enjoyed the treatment of being respected and valued. Wang Gu directed her to turn left and right. Ye Cheng turned on the electromagnetic jammer that she had specially reserved, rushed to the exit quickly, blended into the crowd inconspicuously, and slipped into the washroom.

Half a minute later, Ye Cheng washed the dust off his hands and face, walked out as if nothing had happened, greeted the police officers from the administration bureau he met, and used the reason that the store had been closed for too long to pave the way for his departure tomorrow.

Ji Xu cut off the communication.

According to the police officer's hasty response, the Administration has not yet identified Ye Cheng as a suspect. They believe that this is a premeditated action and the criminal is familiar with the Administration's layout, so they focus on the wanted criminal who has been on the run for many years. When they find out from the trace examination that the files that have been turned over are almost all related to Baidao, they may shift their focus.

In addition, Ji Xu also heard the sound of a discussion.

Director Lin seemed to be planning to take the victim's child to the administration to stay for a while until she found a new guardian.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the half-remaining pile of documents on the desk, silently pushed it away, stood up and took the adoption contract and mask.

"I'm going out for a while."

Ji Xu covered half of his face with a mask, changed into a black turtleneck sweater, tucked a pistol behind his waist, and put on a silver-gray woolen coat on the outside. As long as it was not formal wear, Ji Xu left the church satisfied.

He found where the victim and the murderer lived, a small villa area, the houses were not adjacent to each other, the ten-meter-long yard and iron railings prevented the neighbors from hearing the usual sounds of beatings and scolding. The yard was almost untrimmed, and the flowers and plants that had been planted withered and rotted in the mud, providing nutrients for the weeds. The rampant grass almost blocked the special vehicle of the administration.

Ji Xu picked up the lost hairpin on the ground, straightened it, and turned it flexibly between his five fingers. The anti-theft lock that the security property had promised was quickly opened by him.

The moment he stepped in, he attracted the attention of the Administration.

"This room is being sealed off. Do not disturb the work of the administration. If you have something to say, please state your identity and purpose here." A police officer on guard stretched out his baton and frowned as he blocked his way.

Ji Xu took out the mask from his bag and put it on. The sound of the machine was flat.

"——A hundred prayers." He said.

"I am not in the mood to deal with the love-hate relationship between the church and the administration. Please make way. The girl is from the church."

The police officers of the Administration never expected that the legendary and almost non-existent leader would suddenly appear in person. They were anxious and uneasy. They knew they should not let the enemy in, but due to the pressure brought by Bai Prayer and some unknown emotions that wanted him to be surrounded, they struggled and watched Bai Prayer walk up the stairs and knock on the door.

Outrageous!!

This guy actually knew to knock before entering!

Bai Dao did not show any sign of impatience, and he seemed unaware of the vicious people behind him who were trying to take him to the police station. So he simply went through the motions and turned the doorknob the next second.

He nodded to Director Lin inside and said, "Excuse me. It seems you want to take care of the children in our church?"

The moment he saw the black-haired masked young man, Director Lin stood up suddenly, his pupils constricted, he had never thought that he would see Bai Dao Zhenren. The child who was just being comforted by him fell to the ground in shock, she looked uneasy, looked at Director Lin, and then looked at Bai Dao who was gradually walking in from the backlight outside the door.

He half-knelt down, spread out his right hand covered with a white glove, and quietly waited for the child to calm down, then took the initiative to move forward. But compared to the gentle and considerate actions, Baidao's voice hidden behind the machine was flat and stiff.

"Nice to meet you. I am your new guardian. You can call me the leader."

A child who has lived in violence for many years is often smarter. The child did not ask what a guardian is, nor did she understand the identity of the leader. She subconsciously looked at another adult. But Lin Muqing's expression was tense, and his eyes were coldly staring at Ji Xu.

Bai Chan's personal appearance was beyond everyone's expectations. This leader had never appeared in public before. He was too mysterious, as if he was a belief passed down by word of mouth among believers. If it weren't for the excuse used to force the production of the videotape, the Administration wouldn't even know whether Bai Chan was a man or a woman. Whether it was the vigilance or the hatred, in the eyes of some people who knew the truth, it was even a farce that they couldn't find the source to target.

In this tense atmosphere, the child put his hand in Ji Xu's palm, and he held it with his backhand. When he was about to leave, Lin Muqing spoke.

"Stop. One of her remaining relatives is dead and the other is in prison." And it was all the work of the Hundred Prayers Church. Director Lin realized this and his face became even colder. "According to the requirements, when the guardian is unable to perform his duties, she should be taken in by the foster care institution in this neighborhood until a new guardian is found."

Ji Xu methodically pulled out the contract from his pocket and folded it open. "Since Director Lin didn't hear me, I'll repeat it once more..."

He said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I am her guardian. The man in prison just signed a designated guardianship contract a few days ago. After he lost the ability to raise the child, the responsibility was automatically assigned to the church. As a religious institution, we also have the right to take over and raise orphans."

Lin Muqing's eyes were sharp. "I remember you said that the murderer did not meet the requirements for joining the church. Why did he transfer the guardianship to the Hundred Prayer Church? Or are you deceiving the Administration?"

His last sentence was full of oppression. If Ji Xu couldn't explain clearly, he would be charged with obstruction of public service and taken away. If Ji Xu wanted to save the church, he had to hand over the child and retreat from this confrontation.

Why does it feel like Director Lin is more emotional than before?

Ji Xu glanced at the child beside him who didn't understand but was trying hard to understand, and vaguely guessed the answer.

The other church members more or less followed Baijiao's temptation to "follow their hearts to resist, to seek revenge, to put an end to the farce they had experienced", and embarked on a path of no return to seek revenge. Such barbaric means should not exist in modern society, and even if Jixu limited the scope to "revenge without eliminating harm", a child should not be allowed to participate in certain bloody and cruel things.

Ji Xu felt that Lin Muqing was worrying too much. If he had returned to the Administration and calmed down for a few hours, he would have realized that Ji Xu deliberately set up such a protracted situation to make the murderer go around in circles before killing the scumbag father, and also caused the Administration to hate him even more, just to avoid involving innocent children.

So he lightly and perfunctorily skipped over the topic: "Perhaps the murderer really admired our church so much that he even wore a badge when committing crimes. If you think about it this way, it would be very reasonable for him to transfer the child to our custody before going to prison."

Lin Muqing kept a straight face and said nothing.

His silence only made Ji Xu take a step closer. He slammed the contract on the table piled with wine bottles and said in a bad tone: "Rather than asking me, Director Lin, you should ask the murderer. He is the criminal who should be interrogated. If you have nothing else to say, I will leave."
