Let the true energy circulate for a while

Chapter 28: Completely bewildered

……

Zhao Zihao's line: "A brat born of a mother but not taught by one."

To Chen Ye, it was like a thunderclap!

Ordinary people are too vulnerable without protective qi.

For Chen Ye, killing was a psychological burden.

When Chen Ye came out of the alley, it was almost 11 p.m. He was a little hungry, so he went to the ramen shop downstairs in the apartment complex and ordered a bowl of ramen.

Chen Ye remained expressionless, eating ramen while scrolling through his phone.

In this era, murder is a very serious matter!

Chen Ye felt that this martial arts world was different from the previous one, yet it also seemed to be the same.

Chen Ye had watched some films and television dramas about cracking down on organized crime, but he didn't know whether the artistic performances of some extremists in these films and television dramas were exaggerated or conservative.

After finishing his noodles, Chen Ye returned home and slept soundly through the night without incident.

The next morning, he and his father, Chen Jianbin, took the high-speed train to Los Angeles.

……

At the same time, in the old city police station, He Zhichong, who was in charge of the case, stared blankly at the surveillance footage of the crime scene.

"The body was discovered by sanitation workers. At first, they thought he was drunk, until they saw the blood on the wall."

This is He Zhichong's jurisdiction. He is currently filled with questions and feels somewhat dazed.

The two colleagues in the monitoring room were also completely bewildered.

This case is too unbelievable. In the surveillance footage, you can see a young man with long hair turn around and strike from a distance. The two are about three or four meters apart, and the deceased is sent flying backward and crashes into the wall.

This is fucking a superpower! It's so unscientific.

The three of them spent half a day studying the surveillance footage, retrieving videos from various road sections, and finally found the long-haired young man who had entered the Xianghe Garden residential area.

"You two stay in the monitoring room, and neither of you can tell anyone I'm going to see the director!"

One of the colleagues who was reviewing the surveillance footage said, "Captain He, you should probably get the bureau chief over here. This could easily escalate to the provincial department!"

Another colleague said, "Provincial level? This needs to be reported to Kyoto!"

"I have never heard of superpowers in this world. I used to hear older people talk about a period of qigong craze, but it turned out to be a scam. The most famous one was a person who could turn an iron basin into a snake, but it turned out to be a folk acrobatics."

He Zhichong composed himself, walked to the door of the monitoring room, and said to his colleagues, "Have the big data team check the identity of the deceased. We'll talk about the rest after I give my report."

A subordinate outside asked, "Captain He, have you retrieved the surveillance footage? Did they capture the murderer?"

He Zhichong said, "Don't ask anymore. You all go back to the station first and wait for my notification."

The subordinates accepted the order and left.

He Zhichong returned to the monitoring room and closed the door.

"Old Donkey, do you remember that guy who made a false police report the other day, saying he saw aliens by the river?"

The old donkey suddenly realized, and clapped his hands! "That's it!"

"What matches?" another colleague asked.

"That man's name is Huang Hongxiong. He was admitted to a mental hospital, but was discharged that same afternoon! Why was he in such a hurry to leave? Could it be that aliens came to visit him, and they exchanged something?"

Where is Huang Hongxiong?

"I don't know, shall I have the IT team check?"

"check!"

A dozen minutes later, Lao Lv received a call. After a brief conversation, he said, "Captain He, Huang Hongxiong and his wife have gone on vacation and are in Biancheng."

"I request my colleagues in Biancheng to help me find out what Huang Hongxiong has been doing over there."

"good!"

Another person read into his phone, "Captain He, this is from the information team. The deceased's identity has been found: Zhao Zihao, male, 29 years old. Six years ago, he was involved in multiple serious incidents of violent debt collection and gang fights in Nangang. He has a history of mental illness. It is speculated that this may have been intentional to evade the law."

"Other information is still under investigation. Before his death, Zhao Zihao had multiple phone conversations with a man named Wu Tianming."

"Let them continue to follow up." He Zhichong's gaze returned to the monitor screen, and he watched the extremely illogical playback video again, pondering:

"This Superman looks familiar... Hey, don't you think he looks like that guy... you know...?"

Old Donkey looked astonished and exclaimed, "Captain He! This, this, this is the young man who brought food to Chen Jianbin a couple of days ago, do you remember him? The one with the long hair! Old Chen said he's his nephew!"

"Did Lao Chen come to work today?"

Old Donkey said, "He's on vacation. He said he's going to Los Angeles to see a concert."

"Did Old Chen leave alone?"

"Oh, with his nephew, that's the person in the surveillance footage."

"Didn't he bring his son?"

"I haven't seen any children. You know what, I haven't heard Old Chen mention his son's school lately either."

He Zhichong's face darkened. "This is getting more and more chaotic. Something's not right! Something's really not right! Only the three of us know about this right now. Old Donkey is right. Let the Chief come and see for himself!" He took out his phone and dialed directly.

"Is the Director (referring to the General) probably in a meeting right now?"

As the head of the district criminal investigation brigade, He Zhichong is capable of communicating directly with the bureau chief!

Beep beep beep—the call connected.

"Feed".

"Director Zhao, something urgent has happened!"

"Xiao He, to make a long story short, I have a video conference to attend."

"Please come to the Old City Office now. I have something important to report to you in person!" He Zhichong's tone was firm and left no room for argument.

The two colleagues gave a thumbs up, thinking to themselves, "Captain He is awesome! Giving orders directly to the top leader, what courage!"

A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "What is it?"

He Zhichong stared at the surveillance footage and said in a deep voice, "We suspect we've discovered aliens in our institute!!"

After a few seconds of silence on the phone, the bureau chief's voice sounded slightly tired, "Xiao He, if you have any complaints, you can raise them with the organization."

"Aliens, sending people flying from a distance! Just like in the movies!"

"With AI special effects flooding the internet these days, as a veteran criminal investigator, you need to have at least basic discernment skills!"

He Zhichong, his expression agitated, raised his voice: "Chief! I was in the monitoring room; it was captured by our municipal surveillance system! And there's been a murder; someone was beaten to death!!"

"Wait a minute, speak slowly."

"Okay, I'll send you a short video!"

*Beep*, He Zhichong hung up the phone without waiting for a reply, pointed his phone at the surveillance camera, recorded a short video, and sent it—

About two minutes later, Director Zhao called back.

Director Zhao's voice trembled slightly, "Xiao He, where are you? I'm coming over now!"

"The old city office!"

……

Twenty minutes later, Zhao Dong from the Xincheng City Public Security Bureau, having finished reviewing the surveillance footage, sat in the monitoring room and lit a cigarette.

Zhao Dong is getting old and has passed the age of boldly forging ahead; he only wants a safe retirement.

He was in a state of utter confusion and desperately hoped that this was a dream.

He Zhichong finished reporting the basic situation and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if the burden on his shoulders had instantly been lifted.

It felt as if Mount Tai was pressing down on Zhao Dong's shoulders.

None of us had experience dealing with supernatural events.

"You three, don't spread this around! We'll discuss everything after I've reported to Secretary Li!"

Zhao Dong took out his phone, dialed a number, and tried to control his expression and adjust his smile.

Beep beep beep—the call is connected.

Zhao Dong said with a smile, "Old boss, there's something I need to report to you... Ah, it's like this, um, are you in a meeting?"

He Zhichong and Lao Lv stood to one side, not daring to breathe, watching their boss make a phone call.

Zhao Dong chuckled and said, "Well, it's hard to explain over the phone. I'll send you a short video so you can take a look..."

Beep, Zhao Dong hung up the phone, forwarded the video He Zhichong had sent him, and added the text: "[Preliminary judgment: aliens may have been discovered in our city]", then breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Dong instantly felt that the burden on his shoulders had become much lighter.

"We're waiting for orders from above." Zhao Dong handed cigarettes to his three subordinates. "Have a pack, to perk you up."

He Zhichong asked for instructions: "Chief, should we notify our colleagues in Luocheng to arrest Chen Jianbin and his nephew directly at the high-speed rail station?"

Zhao Dong said without hesitation, "Are you an idiot?! This kind of thing could shock the world in the future! Looking across the whole country, have you ever heard of a real person with special abilities?! They're rarer than a panda with two heads!"

"No! He's more precious than a living dinosaur!"

He Zhichong said worriedly, "But I wonder if that person will cause trouble in Luocheng?"

"Has anyone else viewed the surveillance video?"

"So far, only the four of us have seen it!"

Zhao Dong said in a deep voice:

"Secretary Li will report up the chain of command. Before the policy from above is implemented, no one is allowed to act rashly. You secretly investigate; I need to know everything about Chen Jianbin and that person with special abilities!"
