Unconventional security

Chapter 3: A Song of Ice and Fire

"take away."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Bei covered his mouth and interrupted him.

Zhou Lehu actually called a teenage high school student "sister"?

How old is he?

What kind of resume?

The key victim, Xiaoxue, had a clean file; she was just an honest and law-abiding girl. How could Zhou Lehu have asked her to be his "big sister"?

Several questions arose from this address, but Chen Bei knew this was not the place to talk.

The fact that this matter could be concealed from a fully informed electronic record search indicates that its seriousness is considerable.

Just as Chen Bei closed the car door, he heard an angry shout from beside him.

"I'll kill you, you beast!"

"Tell me, where's Little Snowman? What did you do to her? Tell me!"

Wang Tao's eyes were bloodshot as he delivered punch after punch to Zhou Lehu, who was handcuffed. The latter's nose bled uncontrollably, and he curled up like a shrimp.

"Alright, stop killing him."

Chen Bei watched for a few more seconds before gently pushing Wang Tao away from above.

Wang Tao tried to resist but couldn't even overcome the strength of Chen Bei's one hand, and ended up falling back into the passenger seat.

"Drive back, Wang Tao. You will not participate in this interrogation."

"Why should I?!"

"You don't want your wife to know about this, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao immediately fell silent.

In the end, is Wang Tao some kind of champion of justice?

He has a wife but still covets young girls. Although he didn't have any outrageous thoughts or actions, who says that cheating has to involve sexual intercourse?

He skipped work for several days in a row, and today he sneaked over to turn himself in. Has he thought about his family?

"Once the matter is investigated, I will inform you to take care of your family affairs as soon as possible and return to your post."

"The Happiness Police Station does not tolerate situations where family members come to cause trouble."

Chen Bei gave him a few words of advice, saying that if Wang Tao couldn't unlock the gene lock, then he would be of no value to him.

Judging from Zhou Lehu's current attitude towards Xiaoxue, things may not be as everyone initially expected.

Without anger, can Wang Tao still activate the gene lock in his body normally?

"I need to know the interrogation results before I go back to deal with it. You promised to tear this beast apart!"

Wang Tao argued forcefully, pointing out that the culprit behind his credit limit, which had been troubling him for days, was right in front of him, and now he was being forced to give up his credit limit?

That's worse than killing him!

Chen Bei looked at him, a smile playing on his lips, "Okay."

Sheriff's Office.

It was that familiar interrogation room again, and the same sheriff was there, but this time the person being interrogated was Zhou Lehu.

As for Wang Tao, he could only sit anxiously on a chair outside the door.

"You've already confessed, so I don't need to waste my breath, right?"

After Chen Bei finished speaking, he blew on the steam rising from his teacup. Zhou Lehu dared not argue with him anymore; the scene at the bar was enough to make him remember it for the rest of his life.

"I'll talk, I'll talk."

Swallowing nervously, Zhou Lehu began his narration.

"I originally thought she was just an ordinary high school student."

"I watched her for a whole month to make sure she was always alone and took the same route. The good news is that she lives alone, so even if she goes missing, no one will find out."

"The bad news is that she lives in a 'human basket,' which means a very crowded neighborhood, making it difficult for me to make a move. So, I prepared sedatives for the remaining week."

Zhou Lehu recounted the events in great detail, including where he bought the drug, when, Xiaoxue's address, and how he planned it—everything was meticulously detailed.

Chen Bei remained calm and unmoved by the black market supply chain he described.

It's nothing more than the stuff in District D; we can't manage it all. Each District D is the biggest black market in the entire city.

"That day I was finally ready to act, but something unexpected happened—she got off the bus one stop early!"

"This made all my previous scouting efforts go to waste, so I hurriedly got out of the car and walked with her for more than ten minutes before I realized that she didn't have anything urgent to do and was still walking in the direction of home."

"I don't know why she got off the bus early and had to walk, but there was an abandoned factory just ahead. This was an opportunity given to me by God!"

As Zhou Lehu spoke, he became somewhat agitated, but then, upon reflection, fear began to creep into his eyes.

"When we arrived at the abandoned factory, there was almost no one around. I followed her for about ten steps, my hands in my pockets, clutching a handkerchief. But just as I was about to speed up, she turned around..."

It's turned around?

Chen Bei raised an eyebrow, and the latter paused, the memory crystal clear in his mind: "She said..."

"You've been following me for so long and haven't made a move yet. If you don't have the guts, don't try to commit crimes."

At the abandoned construction site, a pure-looking girl in a floral dress and carrying a backpack turned around and spoke coldly a hundred meters in front of him.

Zhou Lehu paused for a moment, then darted forward.

I've already been exposed. If I don't act now, I'll have even less of a chance, especially since it's only ten steps away!

Suddenly, his vision blurred.

Xiaoxue was still standing in front of me, but I could hear her clear voice, which sounded very close, as if it were right next to my ear.

"With such rudimentary skills, you should practice for another two years."

Click.

"My leg was broken like that, and at that time, all I could see of her in the distance was a blur."

Zhou Lehu looked terrified. "That speed was like a ghost."

Now, both Chen Bei and Gu Mengyao were unsettled.

Gu Mengyao's pen was practically sparking as she scratched across the notebook.

Xiaoxue is clearly someone who has unlocked her genetic potential!

I just don't understand how many genetic locks have been unlocked. How come this person is still in school? At the very least, there should be records of them!

Are they wild genetically modified humans, or is someone trying to cause trouble in the 103rd district?

If he really pulls off some big move, not only will Chen Bei be dismissed, but he'll probably be used as a target for the Shangcheng District to establish its authority.

"How did those gardenia-patterned shoes end up on your feet?"

Chen Bei spat out a tea leaf and asked a question, while Zhou Lehu scratched his head.

"I was just following orders. Sister Xue told me to wear these shoes and wait for someone to find me, and then ask if they could sing A Song of Ice and Fire. She said that if I wore these unusual clothes, I would be more likely to get attention."

Now, Chen Bei sat up straight, stopped drinking tea, and his tone became much more serious.

"Are you sure she wants you to find someone who can sing A Song of Ice and Fire? What else did she say?"

Seeing his strong reaction, Gu Mengyao immediately stopped writing.

He then took his statement and left the interrogation room.

Outside the door, Wang Tao, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed forward when he saw someone come out, but was blocked by Gu Mengyao.

"Why didn't the captain come out? What did he find out?"

Wang Tao was anxious, unsure what to do with his hands.

"I don't know. I got tired of sitting and came out for a walk. You can ask the captain yourself when he comes out."

Gu Mengyao didn't mention it at all, and Wang Tao couldn't get into the room either. He glanced at it and focused his attention on the transcript.

Pretending to tie her shoelaces, Gu Mengyao glanced up out of the corner of her eye and saw that the notebook in her hand was not closed. With the help of the sunlight, it was still possible to see it clearly if you looked closely.

The entire page was filled with densely packed lines, and Wang Tao was just trying to decipher what the words were...

"Why are you drawing turtles in the statement book? Who told you to take notes like that?!"

Wang Tao was completely dumbfounded, but the latter was even more puzzled than him.

"I drew this person as a turtle, is there a problem with that? Isn't it?"

"No, no, it's not... Then what did you remember in your statement? How could you have recorded what he told you?"

Wang Tao was a little incoherent when asked the question, and it took him a while to come up with a counter-question.

"Just use your brain to remember it, isn't that simple? Can't you remember it?"

Gu Mengyao spoke with righteous indignation, leaving Wang Tao dumbfounded.

Memorizing purely with your brain? And you think it's that simple? Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language?!

creak.

The interrogation room door was pushed open again, and Chen Bei walked out calmly.

"Captain, what...what did he confess?"

Wang Tao's gaze shifted instantly; his focus remained on Xiaoxue.

Chen Bei patted him on the shoulder and sighed.

"Sigh, that's it... the door wasn't locked."

With just a few words, Chen Bei's sigh and light pat, conveying a sense of sympathy, Wang Tao instantly conjured up several filthy images in his mind. He was so angry that his hair stood on end and he trembled. He rushed into the interrogation room and shoved Chen Bei's shoulder aside.

"If you stay here and keep an eye on his threshold, he should be able to break through one layer of lock."

After saying this, Chen Bei lit a cigarette and left calmly.
