Chapter 28 I Like Men
I took out a black suit and a matching black shirt from the closet, put them on, picked up a gray tie and walked out of the bedroom.
I went to the dining room and Zhong Mengfan had already prepared breakfast.
Sitting down at the dining table, I said to him, "Good morning."
"Good morning, doctor. I always drink coffee, but today I want to try a change. I made century egg and lean meat porridge, and fried dough sticks."
I nodded and took a bite. "Do you have preserved eggs and fried dough sticks at home? They are delicious."
"I bought it this morning when I went out for a run. I brought some weights with me." He looked like he was about to compliment me.
"That's right. If you're used to the weight you're carrying now, you can increase it a little bit."
My praise did not motivate him, and his voice became weak when he answered me, "Okay..."
After a moment, Zhong Mengfan looked at the tie on the table and the suit I was wearing and asked, "It's rare to see a doctor dressed so formally. Are you going somewhere special?"
"Well, it's just a job requirement, handling commissions outside of professional heroes."
"Then can you take me with you?"
I thought about it and didn't answer immediately.
He asked, "Is it inconvenient?"
"Not really, it's just that I'm going to a rather special place today. The atmosphere there and the people I'm going to meet are probably the kind you don't like."
“Where to go and who to meet”
I said "jail, possible serial killer suspect."
…
In the end, Zhong Mengfan came along anyway. He regarded this trip as another kind of training and experience.
Along the way, Zhong Mengfan started talking again. "Besides being a superhero, isn't a doctor's job a doctor? Why would he go to the prison to see the prisoners?"
"Professional heroes and the police have always had a close working relationship. After all, the number of people with special abilities is extremely small, and with ample police resources, it's easier for the police to find clues, and their methods are much more professional than those of many people with special abilities. These clues provided by the police, in turn, allow us to more quickly apprehend criminals who use special abilities to commit crimes. It can be said that this is a mutually beneficial relationship."
Of course, the police department generally wouldn't ask for help from people with special abilities if they can catch a criminal themselves, but there are always special circumstances."
Police Station
"Then I'll trouble you, Night Demon." Because of my identity as a person with super powers, Police Officer Zhang, with whom I had worked before, was very polite to me.
"Officer Zhang, you're too polite. You haven't told me what kind of case it is and how I can help you. Oh, by the way, I brought my junior with me today." I pointed at Zhong Mengfan.
Officer Zhang: "You're already a professional hero at such a young age, that's impressive."
"No, no." Zhong Mengfan felt embarrassed when being praised.
"This is the information of today's suspect." Officer Zhang handed me a file.
I lowered my head and flipped through the suspect's file in the interrogation room. "There is no accurate evidence yet to prove that the suspect is the criminal?"
Officer Zhang pursed his lips and said, "Yes, but we have sufficient reason to suspect that he is the criminal, so we need your help and a more professional approach."
The so-called more professional method, of course, refers to using my special abilities.
But he didn't expect that I would shake my head and refuse. "But without evidence, I can't use my ability on ordinary people."
Rejected, Officer Zhang clenched his fist and said, "But three women are already dead! We need to bring the criminal to justice as soon as possible!"
"Forcibly using the ability to invade the mind of an ordinary person is likely to cause huge side effects. What if, I mean, he is not the murderer, and it is only confirmed after I invade his mind, what should I do then?"
He didn't answer my question, but said, "We found the suspect in the surveillance footage near the second and third crime scenes."
"But this isn't definitive evidence that he's the murderer, Officer Zhang. According to the 'Superpower Management Act,' superpowers cannot use their abilities against ordinary people without reason, especially psychic abilities that allow them to see into others' privacy. I imagine that from an ordinary person's perspective, Officer Zhang, you wouldn't want your truest or darkest thoughts to be seen."
Officer Zhang scratched his head and said irritably, "When you psychics really abuse your powers, you won't pay attention to the terms of the treaty."
"Don't say that. I've always been a law-abiding citizen, and we have a good working relationship. Besides, this is a police station, so I won't abuse my abilities."
Officer Zhang spread his hands in surrender. "I deliberately invited you here without explaining the situation clearly. In the past, we only cooperated with you in the pursuit of people with special abilities, but this situation is special. Since you're willing to come, there must be a way. Please help, Night Demon. This is a serious case. The three women who died all suffered terrible things before their deaths."
I nodded. "Of course I came here to solve the case with you. Let's try using ordinary interrogation methods. Besides my ability, this is also one of my specialties. However, the interrogation room's video surveillance cannot be turned on to capture my face. Only audio recording is allowed. Also, all the footage captured by the surveillance cameras during our visit to the police station today must be deleted."
Officer Zhang agreed to my request. "Okay, but I still have to say that for a person with special abilities, you're being overly cautious."
interrogation room
I sat opposite the man and asked, "Mr. Zhou, can I call you that?"
The man shrugged and replied nonchalantly, "It's all fine. It's just a matter of when will you let me go? I've already declared my innocence. I have alibis for every crime you mentioned."
There were three files on the table related to the deceased. I closed them. "We don't talk about these cases."
He then raised his head and looked at me very puzzledly, "Well, why?"
"To be honest, I'm the conversation expert they hired, the kind you know who specializes in chatting with people in the police station. But I've reviewed the case, and as you said, you have an alibi. The situation is favorable to you now, Mr. Zhou."
I leaned back slightly. "So, if you insist you're innocent, you have to cooperate with me. That way, you'll be released sooner. I think you can imagine that if you keep refusing to cooperate with the police, you'll just have to stay here longer."
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Then how can I cooperate with you?"
I leaned forward slightly and propped my elbows on the table. "Why don't we chat about anything? When we're done, my work is done and you can leave."
The man nodded, but remained cautious. "Oh, okay. But I may not be able to answer all the questions you ask me."
I nodded slightly "Of course, I'm not a police officer, and I'm not interrogating you."
I folded my palms and asked, "Mr. Zhou, can I ask you how old you were when you first fell in love?"
He frowned slightly, looking unhappy. It was obvious that his first love did not seem to be a particularly good answer for him.
But he thought for a moment, then said in a slightly complaining tone, "She was my junior girlfriend when I was in college, but after graduating, she passed the civil service exam, while I failed and am unemployed at home, so she broke up with me. Women nowadays are very realistic."
Then he looked at me again and said jokingly, "But with your looks, you probably can't understand what I'm saying. Women really like people like you."
"My kind"
He gave you an unhappy look as if you were asking a question you knew the answer to. "Need I tell you? A handsome young man with a respectable job."
I waved my hand, indicating I wasn't interested. "Actually, I like men."
【Author has something to say】
This story is my absolute favorite. Years ago, I thought superpowers were cool, so I passionately wrote a scene with a colorized image of a top being exposed and locking the bottom in a dark room. That was the beginning of this story. And then there was nothing else, because I wasn't good enough to write this kind of subject back then, and I didn't have the time.
Now I finally wrote it! It's just a little long, and JJ can no longer have the sauce sauce and niangniang plot -v-~
Please collect it. I will write a sweet story next time. Kawaii Su Gong x Elegant and aura prince Shou "The Heir to the Empire is My Alpha"
