Chapter 13
"Who is that person?"
"Lin Musen. He's Lin Yaoxin's brother."
“Dongdong——”
"Come in." Qin Ye said loudly.
The door was pushed open a crack, and a young detective came in: "Lingling, someone's here to post bail."
"So soon?" Lingling looked up. "Ask them to wait in the reception room."
Ango's tears were still streaming down her face. "How long will the interrogation take? It's so dark here. I'm scared."
Qin Ye tapped the table with his pen: "Which school did you graduate from? What do you do for a living?"
…
The young agent closed the door and walked slowly back to the reception hall.
"Please wait a moment. Bail can only be issued after the trial. Will you pay the money or provide a guarantee?"
Irene hesitated. “Can my brother be a guarantor?”
The agent frowned: "He is not yet an adult."
"Just seven months away!" Ace said.
"That won't work either." The agent didn't hesitate. "Isn't she the school doctor? Why not just ask her employer to advance her salary?"
"I called Principal Meng. The school just paid a sum to the church, and we need to raise funds to participate in the extraordinary competition on Ibilene Island next month. We really can't afford the advance payment. But Principal Meng is willing to come and act as a guarantor..." Irene sighed, her blue eyes full of pleading, "but we need to find another adult."
At this time, Ian had already put on his casual clothes, put on his hat, and hurried to the door with his black briefcase. He just happened to see three people talking at the door, talking about paying money to the church.
Ian raised his eyebrows and said, "Sun Town Middle School is getting more difficult every year."
"Good evening, Bishop."
"Thank you for your hard work. You have to wait until this interrogation is over before you can leave work." Ian greeted the young agent.
"Bishop, don't you watch the interrogation process?" the detective asked curiously. "You watch almost every interrogation."
"That's not necessary." Ian smiled at Irene and the others, "Are you still short of a guarantor? You can ask me."
Several people at the scene were stunned and looked at Ian.
After all, Ian's actions repeatedly showed his trust in Ango, which was very strange.
Ian also observed the reactions of the siblings and found that they really seemed to know nothing, so he gradually restrained his smile.
"What do you mean?" Irene asked slowly.
Before Ian could say anything, the transparent door of the security office opened and two more people walked out of the darkness.
"Huh - I brought another person, look who it is!" Principal Meng's face was full of joy.
Standing next to him was a man wearing a black sweatshirt and about 1.9 meters tall.
Ian's pupils trembled, as if he had seen something terrible, and he couldn't move.
But Irene and Ace had no reaction and were even a little confused.
"Lin Musen, Lin Yaoxin's brother!" Principal Meng said excitedly, "He happened to be home for something today, and after hearing about it, he was willing to act as a guarantor!"
"Ah, it turns out to be Yaoxin's brother. I haven't seen him for a long time, I didn't recognize him." Irene suddenly realized, "What a coincidence, now we are all here."
"That's great. You guys go to the reception room and wait for a moment." The young agent signaled everyone to go inside.
Several people turned around and left, and Ian, who was about to leave, followed them.
"Bishop, aren't you going to leave first?" asked the agent.
Ian's hands trembled slightly. He took off his gentleman's hat, rubbed it tightly, and lowered his eyelids, as if he was controlling something.
"I've changed my mind."
Almost no one noticed Ian's abnormality because they were immersed in the joy of completing the number of people.
Everyone followed the agent and continued forward, but when Ian turned into a room, Xisen glanced at his back.
After leaving the crowd, Ian hurriedly turned into the observation room with single-sided glass at the back of the interrogation room.
There was already a staff member in the observation room, sitting at a long table, watching the surveillance camera and the three people behind the glass.
The door was pushed open and the staff stood up to greet him: "Bishop."
Ian's face was gloomy. He put his briefcase on the chair, then sat down, leaning back, his lips pursed coldly, in stark contrast to his usual easy-going and calm demeanor.
The staff didn't know what was going on and looked at him blankly, then looked at the one-way mirror.
The girl behind the glass seemed helpless and fragile, but her answer was flawless.
Her voice came from behind the monitor.
"Lin Musen was on a business trip to Passarine City, conducting market research. We happened to live in the same area, so we bumped into each other often and got to know each other. One time, he showed me a photo of his brother, Lin Yaoxin, and right next to him was Ace. Ace and his father look exactly like each other, and I've seen them in old family photos, so I knew they were distant relatives of ours."
"Then why did you choose to be the school doctor at Sun Town Middle School?"
"I've received some medical training in Passarine...it should be recorded in my academic information system. I've also worked in a small clinic. Ace said they were short of a school doctor, so I thought I'd give it a try."
"You don't have extraordinary abilities, but you were able to enter an extraordinary school?"
Qin Ye looked him up and down with suspicion.
An Ge looked at Lingling for help: "Principal Meng can't recruit anyone."
"Well... that's true." Lingling reminded Qin Ye, "This position has been vacant for a long time."
"Okay." Qin Ye looked at Lingling again, "Do you have any other questions?"
The female detective spread her hands, indicating that she didn't want to ask any more questions.
Qin Ye sorted out the paper documents on hand and said: "Your answers are consistent with the information in the identity system. We have no more questions about you. You just need to wait here for bail."
In the observation room.
"Is there any problem with her identity?" Ian repeated Qin Ye's words and asked the staff beside him.
He placed emphasis on the word "no", as if expressing his doubts.
The man was stunned for a moment, then glanced at his records and nodded in confirmation, "Yes, her records from childhood to adulthood can be found in the identity system. She's an ordinary citizen, not a Beyonder. She was born in Passarine. Her school and workplace... everything matches."
Ian took the paper and notebook with a serious expression.
"Do you have any questions?" the man asked cautiously. "If you have any questions, I'll go talk to Agent Qin... After all, you're an important person sent by the church, and the only person with extraordinary abilities in the Security Bureau tonight. If your abilities reveal anything amiss, we'll definitely have to re-examine..."
Ian gently closed his eyes, as if thinking about something: "Don't you think that her eyes seem to be able to see through something?"
The girl behind the one-way mirror regained some composure and seemed to be casually looking at the monitor and behind the mirror.
From her perspective, she should not be able to see this room.
"Haha, you're kidding, right?" the man said nonchalantly. "It's just a coincidence. Many of our suspects look over here out of curiosity. It's quite common... but they can't see the observation room."
Ian snorted.
"Besides, the one with the all-seeing eyes should be you, right?" the young agent said with envy. "Your ability is 'Eye of True Vision,' which can see through all extraordinary abilities. It's a powerful tool for reconnaissance."
Although Ian's extraordinary abilities are not very useful in combat, they are very suitable for being a scout. No matter if it is a person with special abilities disguised as an ordinary person, a strong person hiding his strength, or a person who is bluffing, they have nowhere to hide.
"It's just that everyone says that Sangria is an ordinary person." Ian replied, "Hmm... Xiaonan, could this information be wrong?"
Ian's eyes never left Ango for a moment.
From his perspective, a few big words appeared on the girl: Eyes of Perspective.
However, in the restaurant, her extraordinary ability was not just this. Ian clearly saw that she possessed the ability to track - once her eyes were fixed on the prey, it would be impossible to escape. But in just half an hour, she changed her ability?
What had she done? How could she transform her extraordinary abilities in such a short time? If she could see through things, wouldn't it be easy for her to see what was written on the materials on Qin Ye's desk? This interrogation was like a joke.
Ian originally thought she was someone who hid her abilities and had nothing to do with Sangria, because everyone knew that Sangria was an ordinary person. But the guy he just met... that guy named Lin Musen...
When he thought of that man, Ian's fists clenched unconsciously.
"I think you are too nervous. You are really concerned about capturing Sangria. You have done almost everything yourself and have hardly had a rest for a week. But the country is so big, and Sangria may not be in Sun Town... You can also relax." Agent Xiaonan said with a smile.
"After all, Lin Guang died in this incident." Ian's tone was unusually serious, completely different from his usual self. "Sangria's research is sinful. Archbishop Lin Guang was murdered because of her research... I still remember the encirclement and suppression. I saw with my own eyes those who killed him and their extraordinary abilities."
Ian clenched his fist and placed it on the table, then suddenly loosened it, his fingertips still gleaming white. "I heard that if they catch Sangria, the Security Bureau will have to send him back to the Interhead Group?"
Xiao Nan said with embarrassment, "Well, yes... This is a bounty offered by the Interhead Corporation. The Church doesn't have a complete chain of evidence to convict the Interhead Corporation. If Sangria is captured, she must be sent back. Bishop Owen also believes this. He believes that Sun Town, as a small town near Morino City, still needs to maintain a good relationship with the Interhead Corporation."
In other words... Sangria, and those people with special abilities who killed Lin Guang - the guys who controlled shadows, the villains who created nightmares... those killers secretly trained by the Interhead Group, will continue their evil plans.
But if that Lin Musen is really Shadow Xisen, why is he here? And what is the relationship between Ango and Sangria? Are they the same person?
Research that can change extraordinary abilities... Even if she is not Sangria, she is closely related to that demon.
If Xi Sen really found Sangria, why didn't he bring her back to the group but instead left her in Sun Town?
Ian felt his blood rushing through his body. He seemed to be very close to the truth, yet very far away.
In short, he would never let these people escape again. He would personally end this scientific experiment that had harmed countless people and put an end to demons like Sangria and Xisen.
"I understand." Ian suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, "Then... I have no doubts about this girl, let her go."
After saying that, Ian quickly stood up, and the wooden high-backed chair made a harsh sound when it rubbed against the floor.
He left the observation room without looking back.
Only the young agent Xiao Nan was left, touching the back of his head in confusion.
On the other side, Ango calmly watched Qin Ye and Linlin leave the interrogation room, feeling the effect of the perspective gradually fade away from his body.
Just now in Jian's restaurant, she took advantage of the chaos to ask Xi Sen for help, feeling uneasy.
And Xi Sen actually fabricated a life experience for her in just over ten minutes and handed it to Qin Ye and others. He also took advantage of the time on the road to get the Eye of Perspective's "semi-transformation system" that she brought with her when she escaped from the group, and secretly put it into her cuff.
This system was developed by her personally and can temporarily change extraordinary abilities for about half an hour.
During the interrogation, she pretended to be scared and used X-ray vision to read the materials in the detective's hands, which basically helped her get away with the matter.
As for the people behind the one-way glass, she could see them clearly. She couldn't hear what they were talking about, but she knew that the bishop named Ian seemed unhappy.
But, this has nothing to do with her.
She was wondering how much change Dulang's "robbery" could bring to the system, and whether MAA would really send someone to find her as Dulang said.
