Collapse Iron: As the Balance Envoy, I've joined the chat group

Chapter 72 Walter: You can't judge a book by its cover, but his appearance is attacking me!

"Who are you talking about? Let me take a look..."

Xing asked the same question as March 7th: "Uncle Yang, what's wrong? Is this guy acting strangely?"

Little March showed no mercy to the Star Core Spirit, putting her hands on her hips and shouting, "Don't you dare mimic me!"

Walter pointed to the striking photograph of a blond man inside the scroll: "There's no concrete evidence... but I think it's worth investigating."

Da Hao looked at where Lao Yang was pointing and said, "Oh? Him."

"I remember him. He's a cosmic merchant, a trader, and he also knows a bit about medicine. His registered name in the Alliance... what was it again..."

Da Hao scratched his head, unable to recall for a long time, after all, the Earth Balance Division had too many related matters every day.

Seeing this, Jingyan quickly came to the rescue: "Rakshasa. This person is called Rakshasa."

Da Hao nodded: "Oh~ that's right, Rakshasa!"

"He came this time carrying a big box, saying it was funeral supplies, something called... 'Watching the Fire'."

"Because this 'fire-watching' sign was so eye-catching, I couldn't help but ask him a few more questions."

Jingyan, who was listening nearby, was so shocked she could hardly bear to look. She quickly interrupted, "That's called a 'coffin.' It's a funeral item used by foreigners... I guess these distinguished guests should recognize it."

Da Hao didn't seem to care, waving his hand with a smile: "Hey, I'm not too sure either. Anyway, we checked, and his record in the league is clean. That big box on his back... that... what's that..."

Jingyan rolled her eyes and weakly corrected, "A coffin!"

"Yes, that thing is exactly what he said; it's a funeral item."

"I suspect he's in this kind of business. There are many foreigners on Luofu, and each star system has its own funeral customs, so there are quite a few people in this line of work."

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with him?"

Walter shook his head: "No, it's not that... it's just that for personal reasons, I feel it's necessary to investigate this person."

"What did he do during the days when the Jianmu tree was growing strong?"

Da Hao nodded in understanding: "Hmm... this question is a bit complicated to explain. Let's all move over there to the 'Four Directions Mirror' first; it'll be easier to explain as we look."

After saying that, Da Hao led everyone to a device that resembled a monitoring screen:

"Our Changletian is a very important central urban area of ​​Luofu. The authorities are very concerned about the security issues here, so they have installed a lot of mechanical birds throughout the area."

"The Rakshasa arrived at Luofu a few days before the Jianmu tree sprouted, and there were no particularly suspicious movements afterward... until the day before the incident..."

March 7th suddenly realized, "I know! He suddenly appeared near Jianmu with the Star Core the day before the incident!"

Xing feigned shock: "Oh my god! So that's how it is!"

Walter shook his head: "If that were the case, the Earth Balance Division would have already gone to arrest them directly, why would they need to come to us?"

Little March then realized, "Oh...right, that makes sense. This case is a bit strange. It even made me, Detective March 7th, stumble right from the start..."

Da Hao chuckled: "Haha, you guys are really energetic."

"There's a reason we're investigating this group of Rakshasa people: we really don't know what he did the day before the Jianmu tree sprouted."

"The growth of the Jianmu tree caused an abnormal yin-yang interaction, which led to a malfunction in the entire Jishuo Bird system. The video footage from the day of the incident could not be recovered, and even much of the footage from the day before the incident was damaged."

Xing scratched his head: "Why not just ask the person involved?"

"Of course you should ask questions, but you can't ask them like searching for a needle in a haystack; you should ask them with a clear purpose."

"Besides, if there are no clear doubts, we shouldn't bother them repeatedly."

After explaining, Dahao turned directly to Walter: "So... sigh~ if there's anything particularly suspicious about this Rakshasa, please let me know, so I can begin arranging his detention, interrogation, and investigation."

Walter pondered, "...How should I explain it...because of his appearance..."

After hearing this, March 7th was stunned for a moment. After realizing what had happened, he blinked and thought he had misheard.

"Uncle Yang! I thought you were going to tell me some earth-shattering secret, but it turns out you're just judging people by their appearance."

"Uncle Yang, judging people by their appearance is not a good idea!"

"Didn't you tell me last time not to judge a book by its cover?"

Xing chimed in, echoing, "Uncle Yang, judging people by their appearance isn't a good idea!"

After being told off by the two little ones, Old Yang felt a little embarrassed, but still insisted on his point of view: "Sorry, what I meant was..."

"Hmm, it's hard to explain. I can only say that my 'intuition' tells me that this Mr. Rakshasa is likely to have some problems..."

"Uh...sorry, that was just my speculation."

Da Hao waved his hand, not caring about it: "It's alright. Intuition is also an important partner in the Earth Balance Division's investigations. I've had many times when my intuition told me that someone was suspicious, and it's often proven to be true, so I'm willing to trust you."

"You're saying that anyone with his face must be a bad person? No problem, I can accept that."

"But... I am, after all, a deacon, and I can't bother the person involved with such a reason..."

Jingyan nodded and added, "If you are dismissed from the department because of a complaint, it will leave a stain on your resume, and it will be very difficult to make a comeback for hundreds of years to come."

Da Hao nodded subconsciously: "Yes, that's exactly right!"

After realizing what she had said, she glared at Jingyan, who was standing ramrod straight to the side: "No! What did you say..."

"In short, if you gentlemen wish to investigate, I can make an exception and grant you the access to the Four Directions Mirror... Then... Jingyan, go and help these distinguished guests investigate the case."

Jingyan immediately became anxious: "I am a steward of the Earthly Balance Bureau. Is it against the rules for me, as an official, to intervene and investigate others for ordinary people?"

Dahao leaned closer and whispered, "It's alright, it's really alright. Don't leave the Earth Balance Division to go to the scene. Just help them check the footage of the mechanical bird."

He then turned back to Walter and the others: "If you find any clues, contact me immediately. If you have evidence beyond 'judging by appearance,' I'll come to your aid right away."

"There's only one rule: Please don't go directly to Rakshasa himself. If you discover anything, contact me first."

Walter nodded in understanding: "We are already very grateful that you trust us, and we will certainly not cause you any trouble."

March 7th also said with a smile, "Don't worry, our train crew is the most loyal and never repays kindness with enmity."

The train crew discussed it for a while, and then, with Jingyan's help, they began to look at Jiqiaonian's images.
