Chapter 102 Returning Home
Zhou Cheng wasn't alone in pondering this question. He had already publicized it, sharing it with experts from various industries and disciplines, hoping to draw on their expertise to answer the question, or perhaps simply offer some possible insights.
This attempt had some effect. During this period, at least dozens of possibilities were submitted to Zhou Cheng, but these possibilities were either less convincing, had logical loopholes, or simply had no way to verify them.
Ultimately, these possibilities were all rejected. To this day, Zhou Cheng has still not made any progress on this issue.
Time passed slowly, the night was deep, and there was a slight chill in the air.
Zhou Cheng sighed, stood up and walked towards the dormitory.
He realized that without other clues to assist him, it would be almost impossible for him to find the answer to this question.
So……
He did not fall asleep, but turned on the light and looked at the thick stack of investigative daily newspapers on the desk.
During this period, the World Government has been fully engaged in an investigation into the Ascending Sect. This investigation is massive, involving almost the entire civilization. Every day, a daily report is generated, outlining the progress of the investigation, the difficulties faced, and the results achieved, and is presented to various key figures.
Previously, Zhou Cheng didn't pay much attention to these daily reports because he didn't have enough criminal investigation and investigation experience to provide any help.
But now, Zhou Cheng knew that he had to pay attention to these things.
If you want to get more clues and information to help you find the answer to that question, at present, it is most feasible to get it from the dimensional ascenders.
"Although there has been some progress and some gains, overall they are just scraps. Is the key breakthrough still missing?"
Zhou Cheng began to read these daily newspapers from the beginning and began to understand the entire process of this large-scale investigation.
Although I don't have any knowledge related to criminal investigation and investigation, I may be able to provide some help in some overall action design and ideas.
Just like before, he verified one possibility after another and finally gradually framed the Moon Goddess within several restrictions. Or just like before, he found a way to cover the entire civilization with a "randomness shield", which allowed him to capture Lin Liyuan and achieve the first major breakthrough since the disaster.
This is Zhou Cheng's strong point.
Zhou Cheng stayed up until dawn before he finally fell asleep, exhausted. The next day was the same.
On the third and fourth days, Zhou Cheng continued to study the daily reports. He also began to frequently attend discussions held by investigators, gaining a detailed understanding of the criminal investigation and research experts' thinking and learning some relevant knowledge.
Time passes quietly.
On this day, even though Zhou Cheng did not go to bed until the early hours of the morning, he still got up early. After carefully washing and getting ready, Zhou Cheng arrived at the gate of the World Government compound in high spirits.
He was strictly forbidden by the First Decision-maker to leave the World Government. Being able to come to the gate of the compound at this moment was already the limit of his range of movement.
Even with Zhou Cheng's state of mind, he still seemed a little excited at this moment.
He kept walking back and forth, standing on tiptoe to look out the door from time to time.
Wei Ning, the captain of the Special Operations Team 1 who was in charge of Zhou Cheng's safety, looked at Zhou Cheng's uneasy expression and couldn't help but tease him, "It's still early. Why are you so anxious?"
Zhou Cheng glanced at Wei Ning and said, "What do you, a bachelor, know?"
Wei Ning chuckled, "I just don't understand you guys. You're obviously young people, but why are you so old-fashioned?
Being single is so good, so free, you can have fun however you want, why bother with a relationship, it will only make you unhappy."
"So you don't understand."
Zhou Cheng was too lazy to talk to Wei Ning anymore and continued to look around.
After waiting for a long time, a car finally stopped at the gate. The gate opened and a figure jumped out impatiently.
Seeing Zhou Cheng, the man cheered, ran over in a few steps, and almost jumped into Zhou Cheng's arms.
The two hugged each other tightly, unwilling to let go for a long time.
“Tsk tsk…”
Wei Ning sighed, "Okay, you guys hold it first, I'll get your luggage."
Only after Wei Ning took down several large suitcases from the car did Liu Yu reluctantly let go of Zhou Cheng.
Looking closely at Liu Yu's face, Zhou Cheng spoke with some distress: "Why are you so thin and darker?"
Liu Yu said with a smile: "We had a lot of fun. We were on the boat, competing in catching fish all day long. It was so much fun.
When we got to Antarctica, we went skiing on the ice sheet. It was so much fun.”
Listening to Liu Yu chattering about the magnificence of the sea and the beauty of the Antarctic ice fields, and listening to her talk about how fun those places are, Zhou Cheng's heart gradually calmed down.
I hope there's no danger.
After returning to the dormitory and closing the door, the two hugged each other again.
…
Over the next few days, Zhou Cheng always had a smile on his face no matter what he did. At first, some people were puzzled, but when they learned that Liu Yu had returned, they suddenly understood.
Ding-ling-ling...
The phone rang.
Zhou Cheng took a look and answered the call. A familiar voice came out: "Ah Cheng, have you eaten yet?"
"Just finished eating, Mom, have you eaten yet?"
The call was from my mother Liu Lijuan.
Although Zhou Cheng was unable to leave the World Government compound, he never lost contact with his parents by phone.
"Are you busy during this period?"
"It's fine, that's all. How's Dad? Does your leg still hurt?"
After some nagging, the phone call came to his father Zhou Dahu.
"Ah Cheng, if you're not busy recently, come home."
"What's up?"
"Next Thursday is your mother's 70th birthday. You've been so busy these past three years and haven't been home. Your mother misses you so much that she even secretly shed tears the other night.
Besides, you've got a girlfriend, but you haven't brought her home to show your parents. Come back if you have time."
"Go away, go away. Who is crying? I don't know who is getting up in the middle of the night, sitting on the sofa smoking and sighing."
Mother Liu Lijuan's voice came over with some resentment: "Acheng, don't listen to your father's nonsense. Come back when you are free. If you are not free, you don't have to come back. Work is more important."
Zhou Cheng felt a slight pain in his heart.
I haven't been home for two or three years...
It’s my mother’s 70th birthday, and it’s only right and proper that I should go back.
But……
"Mom, I don't know if I can take some time off... I'll tell you later."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Cheng felt lost.
Liu Yu climbed off the bed and hugged Zhou Cheng from behind: "If you can't go back, then...how about I go back for you?"
