Chapter 182
"You really can't leave?"
The black-haired boy grabbed the metal railing with both hands, leaned his forehead against it, tilted his head slightly, and asked with a very regretful tone.
Officer Liu filled out the form while saying coldly, "No."
"You have no identity, no social traces, and your movements at night are strange. On the day you were admitted to the hospital, you caused a -"
"Please allow me to correct you." The black-haired boy smiled and said, "There is no evidence to prove that I did it. Officer Liu, please be careful with your words."
The man paused and took a deep breath. "I said the wrong thing. The time when the large-scale wounding incident happened coincided with the time when you were living in the hospital. You are a major suspect. We have reason to suspect that your unknown identity and invisible social traces are the result of the secret organization behind you. Based on this, you cannot return to life like Ruan Tiexin and Yu Fu. You can only be free from surveillance after your suspicion is cleared."
Su Xingyuan extracted the key point: "What you mean is, if I can never clear myself of suspicion, I will have to stay under your supervision forever?"
Officer Liu warned, “Not only that, since you were able to escape from the hospital without alerting anyone before, you cannot leave the detention center until the observation period is over.”
He thought that after saying these words, the black-haired boy would continue to ask questions such as "How long is the observation period?" or "How can I clear my suspicion?" But the other party seemed to have limited curiosity. He casually put aside the part that should have been of most concern and sat back in his chair happily. He seemed to be quite satisfied with the new environment.
This time, the ones who felt like there was something stuck in their throats and felt uncomfortable were Officer Liu and the people behind the surveillance cameras.
Ask, why don’t you ask! Such a desireless attitude is scary, okay!
Receiving the prompt from the headset, Officer Liu gave a strong answer: "You'd better think carefully about your current situation. This is not your final detention place. You will be living with four other suspects."
Su Xingyuan nodded and said lightly: "It doesn't sound like a simple suspect like me."
Officer Liu expressed his affirmation with silence.
There are not many people who are as suspected as Su Xingyuan but cannot be convicted. Most of them can still continue their lives. Therefore, those who stay in the same room with Su Xingyuan are all criminals who have solid evidence and have admitted their crimes. They may not be unforgivable, but their tempers are not something that ordinary people can tolerate.
"I can understand that." The black-haired boy was very tolerant: "After all, resources are insufficient, and a single room is indeed a bit difficult for you."
Officer Liu, who had just felt that it was too much to deliberately put Su Xingyuan, a person who was only a suspect but not convicted, in that room: "..."
It seems like you treat the detention center as a hotel. Do you even want a single room? Why don't you just ask for a guard who's dedicated to taking care of your food and daily life?
To be honest, has this person ever practiced how to make people want to kill with just one sentence?
However, Officer Liu actually didn't quite understand why the higher-ups were so strict with Su Xingyuan. After all, since the rules exist, they must be followed. Even if they can really confirm that Su Xingyuan was involved in the incident, as long as there is no strong evidence, they cannot restrict the other party's freedom.
But this rule was broken by Su Xingyuan.
And Su Xingyuan was not surprised at all. In Officer Liu's opinion, he had a subtle sense of confidence that it was normal for him to be wary of others.
Officer Liu: “…”
I can't understand this guy.
Although he was very confused, Officer Liu did not intend to go against the decision. He was just an ordinary grassroots member. Without understanding the truth of the matter, it was obviously the smartest and safest decision for him to follow the arrangements from above.
"Come on, I'll show you your room."
After he said this, he clearly saw the black-haired boy's green eyes suddenly light up.
Officer Liu once again: "..."
So what can we gain by restricting Xingyuan’s freedom? Judging from Su Xingyuan's appearance, he will obviously enjoy the rest of his life very much! This look is just like a cat seeing a cat toy, the whole person suddenly stands up straight and becomes extremely energetic.
Wait, if we think in a different way...
If the damage that Su Xingyuan can cause is really great enough that it cannot be directly controlled or handled, out of caution, it is not advisable to rush into further investigations when no breakthrough can be found. Then, taking advantage of the other party's curiosity about life in the detention center and letting him enter a detention center with a simplified lifestyle is obviously a good delaying tactic.
Although the core is Su Xingyuan, the real focus is not on Su Xingyuan. What they need to find is any mistakes and breakthroughs in the next actions of Ruan Tiexin and Yu Fu, who are inextricably linked to Su Xingyuan, so as to break through this strange incident and find out the truth.
So...the people in charge of managing Suxingyuan were excluded from the operation.
Officer Liu was silent for a moment, then raised his head and inadvertently met the eyes of the black-haired boy who was looking at him quietly.
The black-haired boy seemed not to be afraid of or avoid anyone's gaze, and allowed Officer Liu's complicated gaze to fall on him. He just smiled lightly and said nothing, but Officer Liu had a horrifying intuition -
That smile means, "You finally understand."
When he came to his senses, Officer Liu realized that his attention had completely shifted from "he was completely excluded from the core of the team" to "how Su Xingyuan guessed this", and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
What was scary was not that the black-haired boy had figured out the real reason why he came here before him, but the vague omniscience that seemed to see everything, as if he was observing all living beings from a God's perspective; and even though he knew so much, he was still careless and let the events develop.
The less caring Su Xingyuan was, the more nervous Officer Liu, who was temporarily standing on the opposite side, became.
You know, if silence is not the beginning of an explosion, then it is the beginning of perversion.
The black-haired boy looks so mentally stable, which is exactly one of the important reasons why Officer Liu is particularly wary of his emotional instability.
Being careful not to let the black-haired boy know more about the matter, Officer Liu finally brought Su Xingyuan to the detention room where he was.
The black-haired boy followed him, poking his head out curiously and looking inside.
Just as Officer Liu said, five beds meant that there were four other people living here besides him, but now at this time when everyone should be present, there were only three people in the room. One of them had a face full of flesh and a fierce look. The other two obviously obeyed his orders. Naturally, they did not have a good face towards the newcomer.
The one who is absent...
"The remaining person accidentally fell today and is in the infirmary." Officer Liu's face was not very good. After all, this sounded like an excuse. Even a fool could think that the other party was beaten. It is self-evident what the intention was behind letting Su Xingyuan live in such a room.
"That doesn't matter. We can meet again later if you want." Su Xingyuan smiled brightly, as if he had no idea of the real situation.
"Isn't it most important to get to know my future roommates?"
