He went to the police station where Cheng Xinghe was located according to the news that someone had just given him.

His mind was full of thoughts about what to do next.

This matter is now half clear.

Because so far only Cheng Xinghe has been truly involved.

But in fact, the purpose of the person who created this incident was definitely not Cheng Xinghe.

The simplest truth.

If they really wanted to punish Cheng Xinghe, there shouldn't be so much news spread on the school network, and Cheng Xinghe shouldn't have been sent to the confinement room like he was being paraded through the streets.

These unrestrained actions, which are intended to make the news ferment, reveal something.

That is, these news were released deliberately.

Moreover, Chen Ming also believed that even if he was not there, even if he didn't care at all, Cheng Xinghe would be able to come out of the police station safely.

Someone was using Cheng Xinghe as a target to attack, and then trying to use the opportunity to attract other people's attention.

This other person may be from the Baiquan faction, or may be Chen Ming himself.

It should be myself.

Chen Ming thought so.

After all, this timing is too coincidental.

But what is the meaning of doing this? What is the purpose of attracting him? Where is the person behind the scenes? What does he want to do? It seems that he is targeting Cheng Xinghe, but in fact, he is targeting Chen Ming. But if he is targeting him, he will not come to him. What is he targeting ? He will never give up halfway through doing things. There should be the next step soon.

Chen Ming should go to the police station first and meet Cheng Xinghe.

On the way to get through.

Chen Ming took out the terminal and called He Gu to tell him that he would not be able to go to the headquarters of the Psychic Research Institute until at least tomorrow.

Originally, He Gu should have been able to wait for him today, but now it is definitely not possible.

After hanging up the phone.

Chen Ming noticed that Cheng Xinghai beside him lowered his head slightly, and his expression was still a little nervous and worried.

Although she had been to the battlefield, for the middle and lower-level officers, all they had to face on the battlefield were the simplest life-and-death struggles.

What's happening here is obviously a bit more complicated.

Chen Ming didn't have much to say, so he could only comfort him: "Don't worry, Cheng Xinghe will be fine."

"Um."

The shuttle arrived outside the police station shortly afterwards.

Chen Ming strode to the front desk of the police station.

The female receptionist at the front desk immediately asked enthusiastically after seeing Chen Ming's outfit: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

Chen Ming also looked at the receptionist and confirmed that she did not know him and was not involved in this matter.

So Chen Ming didn't do anything extra, he just said: "Find someone."

"Excuse me, is it because I can't get in touch with you or..."

"It's not that we can't get in touch with him. He must have been captured and brought here."

The receptionist stopped registering on the computer, looked up at Chen Ming, and asked uncertainly, "What did you say?"

"He was captured here. His name is Cheng Xinghe. We want to see him as a family member."

The receptionist suddenly became flustered.

However, a police officer immediately came from behind the front desk and motioned for the receptionist to go somewhere else.

The new police officer looked at Chen Ming with an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, Cheng Xinghe is not convenient for you to meet for the time being because he is an important suspect in a serious injury case. We can't reveal too much else."

Chen Ming did not start to attack the smiling person, but followed the normal logic and asked: "He is a suspect? What did he do?"

"It's just a beating that caused serious injuries. The injured are still in the hospital for treatment. It's inconvenient to go into more details."

"Is there any evidence? Surveillance or something?"

"There is definitely evidence, but it is not convenient to talk about the specifics."

"Even family members cannot disclose it?"

"Even with the family, we can only explain the situation clearly at best. We really can't say more."

"Even if I just want to check the surveillance?"

"no."

The police officer was getting impatient with the constant questioning: "It is indeed inconvenient for us to show the evidence to others. Even if we have it, we can't show it to you."

"Um."

Finally getting a clear answer, Chen Ming nodded calmly and turned around to answer a phone call.

The people from the Baiquan faction on the other end of the phone were just helping Chen Ming.

Relying on the personnel within the police system, they gave Chen Ming temporary investigative authority to participate in the case in accordance with a legal provision.

Those are all criminal cases involving military family members and reservists.

The relevant military departments can apply for access rights to monitor the progress of the investigation of this case to prevent perjury and ensure that there will be no problems.

This authority will generally not be too high, but it is enough to understand the entire picture of the case.

Under normal circumstances, this authority will not be given to people who are related to the person at that time.

However, Cheng Xinghai is indeed a family member, but Chen Ming is not.

At least before the marriage, Chen Ming was legally an outsider and could fully assume this responsibility.

The people from the faction also told Chen Ming where Liao Hongsheng was at the hospital at the moment.

Keep monitoring at all times.

After finishing the call with Chen Ming.

The police officer in front of him also quickly answered a call. During the response, his gaze towards Chen Ming gradually became suspicious.

A few hours later, he put down the phone and said to Chen Ming, "What do you want to do?"

"Like I said, I want to see the evidence."

"What type of evidence?"

"The most direct way is to monitor it."

The police officer thought for a moment and said, "We don't have any surveillance evidence..."

Chen Ming slammed his fist on the table.

He really wanted the psychic energy fluctuations to spread out and control the entire police station. He personally searched the entire police station to see if there was any surveillance evidence.

But the psychic energy that existed on the entire planet suddenly locked onto him again, apparently sensing the changes in Chen Ming's psychic energy fluctuations.

“Tsk.”

Chen Ming had no choice but to take out a recorder from his pocket and press the play button.

This is the audio he recorded in the school guard room just now.

Everything the gatekeeper student said is in here.

Although he usually prefers to use psychic powers in a simple and rough manner, Chen Ming will never lack the necessary preparations.

"Do you need me to help you find that person?"

The police officer was slapped in the face without even blushing.

Facing Chen Ming's questioning, he didn't seem to realize that he had just told a lie. Instead, he said to Chen Ming, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned around, went behind the front desk, and picked up the phone.

About ten minutes later.

The student who was guarding the school just now rushed to the police station.

His face showed tension, panic, fear and terror.

Not only to Chen Ming, but also to the police officer in front of him, and some other people who were not present.

He came to Chen Ming and the police officer, and said tremblingly, "Well... I actually don't know anything, but he used his status as a colonel to threaten me, so I got scared, so I thought about making up something to get him to leave. Everything I said before was a lie."

Chen Ming knew that what the student said at this time was the words taught to him by others. He was just an ordinary student and it was not his problem, but he still had to say: "You'd better think it through."

But before the student could speak, the police officer next to him stopped Chen Ming and said, "Mr. Chen Ming, even if you do have this authority now and you are a colonel, you can't threaten others in front of us."

Chen Ming snorted coldly and said, "If a word of warning is considered a threat, then I want to ask you what you mean by that?"

The police officer had a gloomy face and did not dare to answer Chen Ming for a moment.

Chen Ming didn't want to look at the police officer any longer, so he turned towards the students and hung the colonel's rank badge on his chest.

"Tell me, what is the real situation?"

“I…I…”

The student who was called in had stiff limbs and dared not move at all. His face was full of fear and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

At most, Chen Ming had scared him a little before, but at that time the student could at least communicate with him fluently.

And now, he even stuttered when he spoke, he must have been threatened by others.

And the threats made by Chen Ming are even more serious.

Chen Ming has already thought of many of the best ways to threaten a student.

Seeing his tears welling up in his eyes, Chen Ming couldn't bear it and said, "Forget it, go away."

Chen Ming no longer asked the student questions and no longer forced him to give truthful answers.

He was just an unlucky student who was assigned to be a gatekeeper and was threatened.

There's really no need.

But even after hearing what Chen Ming said, the students did not dare to move at all. Instead, they looked at the police officer.

The police officer immediately stepped forward, held his shoulders, and escorted him out of the police station.

After a while, he turned back and said to Chen Ming: "I'll help you find the surveillance camera, please wait a moment."

"Why? Do you feel guilty?"

Chen Ming doesn't think such a thing would happen in the world.

The police officer did not respond to Chen Ming and disappeared inside the police station.

Let Chen Ming wait outside.

Time flies.

The police officer never returned.

Even though Chen Ming kept urging him, he only returned to Chen Ming with empty hands nearly an hour later.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen Ming, the storage device for surveillance evidence is broken."

Now Chen Ming knew why the police officer suddenly felt guilty.

But he was not angry. Instead, he followed the logic of the damaged evidence and said, "So the evidence is gone, right?"

"The evidence that Cheng Xinghe was sent in is gone. Can we release him now?"

The policeman, now a complete rogue, said, "That still won't work."

Chen Ming laughed and said, "How did Cheng Xinghe get sent to the detention room? Because the surveillance camera caught him starting a fight first."

"Why can't you let Cheng Xinghe go? Because the surveillance is broken."

"Is this human language?"

The police officer said with a stern face: "I should be speaking human language, but you don't seem to understand."

Chen Ming would not tolerate sarcastic remarks, and surging spiritual energy waves instantly surrounded him.

At the same time that Chen Ming made a move, the psychic energy fluctuations that had locked onto Chen Ming when he entered the space station also responded immediately.

They also wrapped around Chen Ming's body, locking Chen Ming's spiritual energy and preventing the spiritual energy fluctuations from being released.

Maintained within the original range.

However, the psychic energy fluctuations did not accept this result. Instead, they further compressed Chen Ming's mental power and oppressed Chen Ming's consciousness, trying to force Chen Ming to give up using psychic energy.

This kind of mental pressure is so strong that even an ordinary Level 5 psychic may not be able to withstand it. But Chen Ming is not an ordinary person. The quality of his mental power is quite terrifying.

After long-term training with various extremely strong negative effect spirit stones and having experienced the half-second experience in the scarlet dimension, the quality of his mental power is absolutely excellent . Even if it comes from the oppression of a level 6 psychic, Chen Ming can easily withstand it.

But Cheng Xinghai can't do that.

She had been following Chen Ming since the beginning. When Chen Ming was targeted by a level 6 psychic, she could also feel the terrifying power from the outside world on Chen Ming.

Even the aftermath of this force made her face turn pale. Her current strength was not enough to contend with it.

Just when Cheng Xinghai was about to collapse, Chen Ming's mental power instantly enveloped Cheng Xinghai, protecting her from the oppression of this mental power that came from nowhere.

As for the others, even if they did not need Chen Ming's protection, they did not feel the effect of this psychic power at all.

This is what the level 6 psychic is targeting.

Cheng Xinghai felt better immediately, but she immediately looked at Chen Ming nervously.

Although Chen Ming looked relaxed, her worries did not diminish.

"Chen Ming..."

Chen Ming waved at her, indicating that he was fine.

He just stood there, resisting the oppression of the psychic.

Three minutes later.

Chen Ming's terminal suddenly rang. It was an unknown number.

Chen Ming answered the call immediately, and a deep voice asked him, "What are you doing?"

"Check the surveillance, just the surveillance."

"Can."

The call was hung up.

The restrictions on Chen Ming's spiritual energy fluctuations also disappeared.

But Chen Ming could feel that the psychic was paying more attention to the situation here.

At this point, Chen Ming roughly understood why he was invited to the headquarters.

Someone must have been collecting intelligence on his psychic powers, and now it has been confirmed that his psychic powers can be detected and blocked when they first take effect. As long as everyone keeps an eye on the whole process, Chen Ming's psychic powers will certainly not be able to burst out without any defense.

So when he came, there would be such a level 6 psychic waiting for him, and it would definitely not be a psychic like Yan Xiong and Hu Yi who had just entered level 6.

Such a psychic is absolutely vigilant towards Chen Ming.

Of course, this level 6 psychic is not so unreasonable.

He should know what is happening here.

But he obviously had no intention of getting involved.

Let the people below compete, it has nothing to do with him.

Anyway, he just needs to watch until something crosses the line.

After the restrictions on his psychic energy were lifted, Chen Ming finally let out a deep breath.

Comfortable.

He had never felt so comfortable.

How uncomfortable he felt when he was restricted before, how comfortable he feels now that the restrictions have been lifted.

But he knew that this was only a short-term feeling after the Level 6 psychic had released the restrictions. Even if things were over, the restrictions would continue to come.

Unless he has enough power to fight back, he must abide by the rules set by the stronger one.

He has to get stronger.

Chen Ming had some more insights in his mind.

However, he did not show it, but said to the police officer in front of him who seemed to have noticed something: "Take me to the damaged equipment. Don't tell me that the equipment has turned to ash in just a few hours."

The police officer's expression suddenly became tense.

The order he received was to delay, to delay by any means, to use any excuse, to tell any lie, as long as it could delay the time.

Anyway, the higher-ups don't expect to be able to keep Cheng Xinghe, as long as they can delay the time it will be fine.

That's what he did.

And just now, he had deleted and overwritten the data related to the database, and finally destroyed the operation of the device.

However, in the face of Chen Ming's psychic power, nothing can be concluded about the mechanical equipment.

So he was still a little flustered.

But he now had no other options to delay any further.

He could only take Chen Ming slowly into the police station.

He said to a damaged data storage device on a table in his office, "This is it."

Chen Ming walked into the office, looked back at the police officer who did not avoid him, and said nothing more.

Anyway, this person must know a lot, including things about psychics.

The key issue now lies in whether Chen Ming can restore the device.

Chen Ming had no doubt whether this could be restored.

Because his psychic power had been blessed by dimensional power before.

The effectiveness of repair powers has also been enhanced.

Chen Ming had tested it specially, and at least for now, even if the equipment turned to ashes, as long as the ashes were still there, he could restore it to its original state.

Even if the data is deleted or overwritten, he can still recover all the lost data.

Chen Ming's spiritual power acted on the device in front of him, and metal liquid appeared from the void and entangled it.

In a few seconds, the appearance of the entire device returned to normal.

Chen Ming also easily saw the images in the surveillance video.

The impact caused by the power of Cheng Xinghe's punch.

Liao Hongsheng's posture after falling to the ground was a self-protection reaction.

All of this can prove that Cheng Xinghe would never be able to cause serious injuries to someone, especially serious brain injuries.

This video alone can largely prove that Cheng Xinghe is innocent.

If you insist, there is an excuse, for example, Liao Hongsheng had some brain disease, which was knocked out by Cheng Xinghe's punch.

But far-fetched reasons cannot be used as evidence for conviction.

Chen Ming can easily produce the surveillance footage to prove his innocence.

but.

He didn't do that.

Chen Ming also frowned and placed the storage device, which seemed to have been restored to its original state, on the table, and shook his head slightly.

If things were over so quickly, there would be many things he wouldn't be able to do.

He wanted to show weakness and make people think that he really didn't have enough evidence, so that those who were targeting him would continue with their next action.

Chen Ming turned around and asked the police officer: "If the surveillance video is broken, then what evidence is there to prove that it was Cheng Xinghai?"

The police officer finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this question: "The case of Cheng Xinghe is still under investigation. As the only person at the crime scene, he is a major suspect, so even if there is not enough evidence, we can ask him to cooperate with the investigation."

"Major suspect? That means no matter what, we have to keep Cheng Xinghe here for at least 24 hours, right?"

The police officer said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

"Okay, then let me go in and see him. I also have the right to investigate now."

"You can investigate, but if you want to meet the suspect... only the team leader has the authority to do so."

"There's no one in the bureau right now. I don't have the authority to release anyone, nor do I have the authority to let anyone in."

That's the rule.

Chen Ming has rules that must be followed.

Although he gained the identity to participate in this incident through a rule that was in his favor.

However, the authority of this identity obtained through the rules is not high.

After all, it is impossible for the Legion to allow the army to completely suppress the police, and the police cannot be just a vassal of the army.

Otherwise, the foundation of all government systems will no longer exist amid the chaos of power.

What Chen Ming has now is the authority of an ordinary police officer involved in investigating an incident.

If only the team leader has the authority to find the suspect, Chen Ming really has no way to get around this.

This feeling of being restricted is really not good.

Just now, Chen Ming was physically restricted by the psychic energy fluctuations of the level 6 psychic, and now, he is restricted by the rules again.

Chen Ming had nothing to say about this, so he could only ask, "When will the team leader come back?"

"I don't know, maybe tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? If a serious crime occurs and someone is not at the police station, does that count as being absent from duty?"

"Not really, because he went out to investigate, to investigate with the victim."

Chen Ming frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Uh... maybe somewhere else, but he must have gone to investigate."

pity……

Chen Ming turned his head.

If only the police officer had been a little braver.

There are people from their faction in the hospital, and they can be sure that there is no such team leader sick in the entire hospital.

If the police officer dared to say that the team leader was there, Chen Ming would dare to directly use evidence to question the team leader's absence from his post and seize the authority to do things.

But now... what a pity.

Chen Ming could only ask for a current investigation report and did not stay in the police station any longer.

When Cheng Xinghai saw Chen Ming coming out, he immediately asked about Chen Ming's situation with concern.

Because she was a relative of Cheng Xinghe, she had no authority to investigate and could not get a word in, nor could she follow Chen Ming into the police station.

Besides, she had never experienced this type of thing, so no matter how smart she was, it would take her time to adapt.

Now she could only follow behind Chen Ming and listen and watch silently.

Trying to analyze feasible ways of doing things from the clues she could see.

Although Chen Ming was watching at this time, he was still thinking about how to contact Cheng Xinghe.

Anyway, forceful means are absolutely impossible, and the level 6 psychic will not let him do so.

So how do we get in touch with Cheng Xinghe?

Chen Ming leaned back in a chair near the lounge inside the police station, shaking his legs impatiently and tapping the ground with his toes.

The fingers on the armrest also tapped on the metal armrest.

Cheng Xinghai, who had been paying attention to the report in Chen Ming's hand, gradually noticed Chen Ming's little movements.

She seemed to have heard some hidden patterns in it.

Just as she looked up at Chen Ming's face, Chen Ming immediately made a gesture to her to keep quiet.
