Task One
"The above is the social background of the person involved, Jiang E." Zhao Si finished speaking with a look of indignation. "Since she has been detained, I will be conveying her testimony on her behalf."
After calming down, she adopted a professional attitude. "According to Jiang E's confession, that bar has been conducting underground prostitution since its establishment. On average, one or two groups of major clients would come to 'discuss business' every month. Each time they arrived, a group of employees, both men and women, would be taken away. Jiang E had been taken away once before. But her memory of that experience is quite vague, and the possibility of drug use cannot be ruled out."
In addition, the bar will regularly recruit minors under the age of fifteen to work, and when they reach adulthood, they will be assigned to do other things.
That was all she knew. As for who the specific "big clients" were and what their identities were, she really had no idea. "When Zhao Si said this, he recalled the scene at that time—
Jiang E's hands were originally handcuffed and placed on the table. She looked up at the small window at the top of the wall, her right hand holding her left hand, and she pushed her hanging hair behind her ear, smiling sadly: "In fact, I have been trapped in this cage since the day my mother died. It has been exactly fifteen years today." There was still a hint of childishness on her face without makeup, but her eyes were like those of a dying old man.
Zhao Si looked reluctant and continued, "The information about the residual energy detected on Liu Chen's body will be passed on to you two via the association's internal communications. Team Leader Chen and I can only assist in the investigation and have no right to know."
This is the association's protection for ordinary people. The more information they know about superpowers, the more dangerous they are.
Shi Youchen checked the latest report and asked, "Where is the 'boss' we captured last time?"
Chen Yishen responded, "We've already investigated. He's an ordinary citizen, so the higher-ups separated the two cases. He's the chairman of a major company in this city. This time, he was probably framed and reported by a competitor. I'm afraid he won't be able to recover. After all, there's a lot of pressure from public opinion right now."
"Public opinion? Has this matter been made public?" Shi Youchen frowned.
"Ah... After the investigation of that transaction case found no suspicious points, they issued a notice. There shouldn't be any problem with this. It's been done this way before." Chen Yishen heard the slight dissatisfaction in Shi Youchen's tone and asked in confusion.
Zhao Si further explained, "The transaction incident has been closed, and the relevant personnel have been handled according to regulations. If you are worried about the two incidents being linked, we have already blocked information about Liu Chen's death and will do our best to prevent public opinion from escalating."
Shi Youchen: "We want to meet the chairman and Jiang E, just a few minutes."
Chen Yishen and Zhao Si looked at each other, and after hesitating for a long time, they finally agreed: "If it's just a few minutes, you can apply." After all, Liu Chen's incident was mainly the task of these two people, and some requirements had to be met as much as possible.
The procedures for visiting prisoners are complicated, so Shi Youchen and Lu Quezhi went to Jiang E first.
"The reason you are still here is because there are still suspicious points about Liu Chen." Shi Youchen looked at Jiang E, observing her reaction.
Jiang E laughed at herself: "Suspicious points? What doubts? Do I still have a chance to get out?" Of course, she didn't know that Liu Chen had any residual supernatural powers.
Shi Youchen nodded to the supervisor beside him, patted Lu Quezhi, and said to him softly, "Just do as I said before."
Lu Quezhi stepped forward, took Jiang E's hand under the gaze of several people around him, and began his second perception.
......
"Tell me about the situation." Back in the discussion room, Chen Yishen and Zhao Si went out to handle formalities, so only Shi Youchen and Lu Quezhi were in the room.
"I followed your instructions and focused on sensing Jiang E's memory five minutes before the incident." Lu Quezhi gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth. "The murder weapon was the fruit knife on their table, and it's also true that Jiang E was holding the fruit knife."
"But Liu Chen handed the knife to Jiang E, and he bumped into it himself."
"So the energy fluctuations detected on Liu Chen are mental invasion." Shi Youchen put down the pen in his hand and stared into Lu Quezhi's eyes.
At this moment, Chen Yishen and Zhao Si came back: "The formalities have been completed, you can go now."
Shi Youchen stood up, put the pen back into his pocket, and said to Lu Quezhi, "Let's go and see the other one."
......
He Guansheng had never seen Shi Youchen and Lu Quezhi's faces, and didn't know that they were also at the scene. He thought that the two were sent from there, so he said stubbornly: "I have already pleaded guilty, what else do you want! I have nothing now, only this life!" He became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Your life is useless to us." Shi Youchen didn't even look at He Guansheng. He turned his back and looked at the wall and said.
Lu Quezhi sat in front of He Guansheng and raised his left hand forcefully.
In his mind, Lu Quezhi watched from the sidelines as He Guansheng walked into Box 003, where a man in sunglasses sat. Seeing someone coming in, the man waved to the boy beside him to pour tea, took off his sunglasses, and said to the door:
"Finally, the memory-peeking guy."
Lu Quezhi's perspective changed. He was no longer the God who was viewing this memory, but a lamb locked in his seat, unable to move.
The man's pupils were gray, and he was staring at Lu Quezhi coldly.
He said, "Don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you. Come, have some tea." He picked up his cup and took a sip. "I can probably guess who taught you to do this. It was that beautiful woman outside. Unfortunately, he only guessed half of it."
Lu Quezhi wanted to speak, but found that he could not make a sound.
"No need to struggle, just listen to me." The man held his index finger to his lips, silencing him. "I know your true abilities. Do as I say when you get out, or I can't guarantee the safety of some...important people." He saw Lu Quezhi's pupils shrink and smiled with satisfaction.
"Listen carefully. 'He Guansheng is only the boss in name only. The investor behind him is surnamed Mo, and coincidentally, his secretary's surname is Mo.' I want you to tell them this exactly as it is."
"Don't worry, I didn't make this news up. You're just responsible for spreading it. Also, make sure you understand your own position."
The man finished drinking the remaining tea in the cup. He played with the porcelain cup, walked over to Lu Quezhi, took his hand, and placed the cup in his palm.
"Investigate carefully what you are told to investigate, and don't even think about touching what you shouldn't investigate. That way, you can live longer." After he said that, he patted Lu Quezhi's shoulder.
"Huh——" Lu Quezhi woke up, shook off He Guansheng's hand, stood up, and breathed heavily.
Shi Youchen finally stopped looking at the wall. He turned and walked to Lu Quezhi, giving him a meaningful look: "Are you okay?"
Lu Quezhi took a few deep breaths and pretended to be calm: "Let's talk about it when we get back." The heavy alloy door closed behind the two people leaving, along with the rest of He Guansheng's life.
......
"This is what I sensed." Lu Quezhi repeated the man's exact words word for word. He couldn't afford the gamble, nor did he dare to.
Because the man in sunglasses and his abilities were concealed, this matter seemed to be just a simple social relationship, so Chen Yishen and Zhao Si were allowed to listen in.
Shi Youchen pondered for a moment and asked Chen Yishen across from him, "You said earlier that the sex trafficking case had been concluded. Aside from He Guansheng, what happened to the other people involved?"
Chen Yishen's expression stiffened. "Based on the confessions of insiders, we apprehended over twenty people involved in the transaction and punished them according to varying degrees."
"What about the bar?"
"No one has been in or out of that bar since the incident, but..." Chen Yishen hesitated to speak.
“?” Shi Youchen cast a look.
"But everything in that bar, including all its information, disappeared overnight." Zhao Si took over the conversation. "This is no longer within the scope of our ordinary policing."
"So the case is closed." Shi Youchen understood the implication of her words.
"Yes, this is an order from above. As for the follow-up of the bar, perhaps the association will issue a task to investigate later." Zhao Si said frankly.
Shi Youchen understood everything now. The Public Security Bureau had already done everything within their capabilities, and when it came to superpowers, they would only consider requesting assistance from the Association when it involved themselves. If they could stay out of it, they wouldn't care about the consequences.
"Then He Guansheng's secretary...should we continue to investigate?" Chen Yishen spoke cautiously.
Shi Youchen glanced at him and said, "No need to investigate." He was afraid you wouldn't dare investigate either. "However, Liu Chen's death was a supernatural event, so it shouldn't fall within the scope of your ordinary security."
Zhao Si nodded: "If the association can issue a document, it can be transferred for disposal." Chen Yishen's face was already very embarrassed at this time.
"Bang" the door of the discussion room was kicked open, and Ying Yungui stood at the door with an unexpected look on his face.
He threw the file bag on the table in front of Zhao Si and sneered: "The documents are here, I want to take the person away now."
As if he found the air in the discussion room too bad, Ying Yungui didn't go in. He just stood by the door, arms crossed over his chest. Seeing the two men from the Public Security Bureau looking increasingly embarrassed, he finally said with mercy, "What are you standing there for? Go get them."
...
On the way back to the association, Lu Quezhi was shocked that Ying Yungui had completed the previous task in less than a day, had the foresight to obtain the transfer documents, and arrived in City Z in time.
Ying Yungui glanced at Shi Youchen's profile in the rearview mirror, which was looking out the window, and said arrogantly, "I knew it would be extremely difficult to rescue people with newbies like you two."
Before Ying Yungui was away, Shi Youchen endured the unhappiness and dealt with all kinds of people. This was because he had doubts about Lu Quezhi in his heart, so he had to do so in order to keep the initiative in his own hands.
Now that Ying Yungui has returned, he naturally doesn't bother to say anything more.
Seeing that Shi Youchen didn't react, Ying Yungui continued, "I saw the information in the middle of another mission, and it occurred to me that Jiang E might not be the real murderer. But I really didn't guess what happened to He Guansheng."
Just when Shi Youchen thought he was going to say, "Forget it since it involves the Mo family," he heard Ying Yungui say contemptuously, "Even if that Mo is really a member of the Mo family, I wouldn't be surprised."
I didn't expect him to be so righteous. When Shi Youchen was about to change his opinion of him, Ying Yungui laughed and said, "Theirs is better. I've disliked Mo Feiqian for a long time!"
“…” He is indeed not a decent person.
Lu Quezhi suddenly realized that when the man in sunglasses said "tell them the clues", the "they" did not refer to the people from the Public Security Bureau, but Ying Yungui and Shi Youchen.
In other words, that person wanted to lead them to the Mo family.
He shuddered suddenly.
After Shi Youchen submitted a report explaining the specific process of Liu Chen's death, Jiang E was found not responsible.
But she said that she did not want to return to City Z, and volunteered to stay at the association base and be willing to be supervised by the association.
In front of the association's management building, Jiang E bowed deeply to the three people, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in her eyes again.
When you are stuck in a quagmire, perhaps ninety-nine percent of the people passing by will feel sad for your hardship and even shed tears;
But there is one percent who will reach out and pull you out of the quagmire.
You must always believe that that one percent exists in the world.
So that you won’t close your eyes directly when you fall.
