Master of Human Nature

Wei Fenghua then stood up again. "Section Chief Zhao, I know your methods for interrogating prisoners."

"But I want to emphasize that Luo Yan is not a criminal."

"At least for now, there is no evidence to suggest that he killed Wu Changqing."

"Therefore, I ask you to stop intimidating him."

This is the second warning.

"If it happens again, I'll have to ask you to leave."

Zhao Xingcang nodded. "Okay, I'll be careful."

He continued, "After discovering that Wu Changqing and Crimson Dove had met..."

"Then we begin the search for the Crimson Dove."

"But strangely, the assassin seemed to have vanished into thin air."

"After Wu Changqing died, he never appeared again."

After saying that, he looked at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan remained expressionless and did not respond.

Zhao Xingcang then turned to Wei Fenghua: "Isn't that strange?"

"After Wu Changqing died, Crimson Dove disappeared."

"It's just like Crimson Dove killed Wu Changqing and then fled to escape punishment."

Or perhaps...

"Actually, it wasn't Crimson Dove who came back that day, but someone else in disguise."

"The other party used the identity of Crimson Dove as a cover, killed Wu Changqing, and then abandoned that identity."

"That explains why Crimson Dove suddenly disappeared. What do you think, Director Wei?"

Wei Fenghua coughed twice, covering his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "I'm afraid only the assassin himself knows the answer to this question."

Zhao Xingcang smiled.

His smile was unpleasant.

"That's true."

"In short, the Crimson Dove line has been temporarily suspended."

"We don't have any particularly good solutions either."

"We can only start with the most basic methods and investigate all suspects."

"So, speaking of which, I have a question for Luo Yan."

Zhao Xingcang looked at Luo Yan again. "The 24th, the day Wu Changqing died."

What is Luo Yan doing at school?

Luo Yan shook his head. "I wasn't at school that day."

"Oh, you're not at school. Where did you go?" Zhao Xingcang asked calmly.

Without hesitation, Luo Yan replied, "They went to the city."

Zhao Xingcang, "Where did you go?"

Luo Yan looked thoughtful, then shook his head. "It's been too long, I can't remember."

"Including last time, I've only been to the city twice."

"I'm not very familiar with many of these places."

"But I bought a moped. The store's name was something like ' Little Flying Car Shop,' I think that's it."

Zhao Xingcang took out a notebook, made some notes, and asked, "Where's your car?"

It broke down halfway through.

Luo Yan calmly replied, "I'll just throw it away."

"Where did you lose it?" Zhao Xingcang pressed.

Luo Yan thought for a moment and shook his head, "I can't remember."

Zhao Xingcang then asked, "Why do you want to buy a motorcycle?"

Luo Yan said calmly, "Transportation."

Zhao Xingcang then asked, "How many work points did you spend?"

"1500."

"You just throw away something worth 1500 work points like that?"

Luo Yan nodded. "At that time, I had several million in my account. 1,500 work points were no different from a few dollars to me."

The reason for proactively disclosing his purchase of locomotives.

That's the reason.

Zhao Xingcang would discover this expense simply by investigating his account.

Zhao Xingcang asked a few more questions.

Then he stood up and said, "Thank you very much for your cooperation, Luo Yan."

"If I make any new discoveries, or if I need anything else, I will come to you."

He nodded to Wei Fenghua and the other person again.

Only then did he leave.

Back in the car.

While the car was driving on campus.

Zhao Xingcang made a phone call.

A moment later.

A voice came from the phone.

"How about it?"

Zhao Xingcang said, "I've already met with that student named Luo Yan."

"Perhaps he isn't the murderer."

"But considering he comes from the surface world, his mental fortitude should be stronger than his peers, so it's hard to judge."

"Most importantly, I lack direct evidence."

"Furthermore, I set a trap during the questioning."

"I checked, and there is a record of him taking a train on the 24th."

But I deliberately asked him what he was doing at school that day.

"But he denied being at school and proactively stated that he had gone out."

"So..."

The person on the phone interrupted, "Continue your investigation."

"But if the evidence points to this student, then we'll abandon the plan."

"They'll close the case by using Giant Beast parasite to kill someone, and they'll even announce the results."

Zhao Xingcang was taken aback. "Minister, are you sure?"

On the other end of the phone was Wu Changqing's elder brother, the Minister of the ' Security Department '.

Wu Shimo!

"Sure."

Wu Shimo said, "I just received the news."

"That student has done a great service, and the ' Tiangang Dragon Riders ' already know that he is a ' Innate Resonator '."

"If things continue like this, one day he will become someone like Di Zheng."

"One opponent like Di Zheng is enough."

"Neither of them can handle it."

"Besides, he's already come into the ' Tiangang Dragon Riders's' sights, so the Strategic Affairs Department will definitely be keeping an eye on him too."

"Maybe we'll try to mentor him next."

"That way, even if he is the murderer, many people will protect him."

"Most importantly, Changqing hired someone to kill him. That's an undeniable fact."

"They'll definitely be used against them then."

Ultimately, major issues were reduced to minor ones, and minor issues were resolved without any further problems.

"But he's fine, so I'm the one in trouble."

"So, if it's confirmed that he's the murderer, then this matter ends here."

Zhao Xingcang let out a soft sigh and nodded, "I understand."

On campus.

Luo Yan and Wei Fenghua walked beside the tranquil artificial lake.

Standing by the lake, Wei Fenghua said with a smile, "When this lake was first filled with water, Di Zheng and I swam here. Your regimental commander was a terrible swimmer; he choked on just this little bit of water several times."

Then he turned around and said.

"You are becoming like Di Zheng."

Luo Yan raised his head.

Wei Fenghua smiled and said, "I've already heard about the Sangmen Sha' incident."

"You've destroyed the ' Life Gate,' a great achievement."

"The Strategic Affairs Department now knows you're a ' Innate Resonator '."

"You are gradually coming into the sights of some important people."

"Therefore, Zhao Xingcang's matter is not worth mentioning at all."

"Minister Wu of the Security Department is a shrewd individual."

"I bet once he finds out about the Sangmen Sha ' incident, he'll definitely order his men to end the investigation."

"He doesn't seem like the type to risk his future and life for his younger brother."

Luo Yan thought this was for the best.

Otherwise, the situation between him and the Security Department might not have ended so well.

Wei Fenghua coughed twice, then said, "The Falcon Base is gone."

Luo Yan was taken aback.

Then I realized what was happening.

"Were they silenced?"

Wei Fenghua nodded slightly. "The day after we left, the entire base was destroyed by an unknown force."

"Everyone in the base was killed; not a single person was left alive."
