0050 Chapter 2 Part 1: The Shadow of Death (Section 6)
After an exciting day on Monday, Zhen Cheng did not choose to watch the famous scene of "Boiling Senior Sister" again on Tuesday. Instead, he deliberately avoided Zhi Shi's following, got up alone, and ran directly to the Metropolitan Police Station.
I estimate that neither my unlucky luck nor the transfer student who seems to be trying every possible means to kill me is unlikely to be able to "influence a meteorite to hit the earth". Therefore, even if I stay at the scene of the accident, it is unlikely that I will.
There may be some gain, but it only increases the risk.
Zhen Cheng will not ignore the obvious flaw of why a guy who "once" shot him without any scruples in public would deliberately try to assassinate him. But to anyone, a guy who once shot him with his own hands would probably always
Will be ranked at the top of the suspicion list.
Now that it is clear that Qu Yun belongs to that supernatural world, the fact that the other party did not directly kill him with a shot does not mean that he is innocent, but it can only mean that he has some kind of conspiracy that he has not yet seen through.
And all she has to do is to use her seemingly short life to reveal the hidden plot behind her back. This is her... If the other party is not alarmist, it may be the only chance for the whole world.
.
However, when Zhen Cheng walked into Deputy Director Sato's office without any obstruction, Zhen Cheng suddenly received a blow.
"Inspector Shengbian died." The kind-hearted deputy director looked at Zhen Cheng with a rare calm and cold look.
In the face of that cutting aura, Zhen Cheng first keenly noticed that the deputy director used neither "die" nor "accident", but "sacrifice", a word that is not common in the 21st century.
.
"I sent him first to investigate Qu Yun, the transfer student you mentioned. Then early this morning, his colleagues working with the detective discovered his... body, lying so struttingly in the blind spot of the police station gate,"
Deputy Director Sato lit a cigarette as he spoke, his tone as calm as if he was telling a fictional and bizarre murder story that had nothing to do with his jurisdiction:
"There are a few places that cannot be covered by surveillance, but there are no blind spots that humans can pass through. I think you understand what I mean...
Either there was a transparent person who carried the transparent detective to the blind spot of the surveillance and left; or the surveillance of the entire police station was passive in some way, and we have not been able to find any trace of his hands or feet until now; or... it was the detective's
The body appeared out of thin air at the location where it was last found.
No matter what the situation is, the matter has exceeded the level that we can handle on our own. As a young lady, I don’t need the old man to be nagging about the rest, right?"
Having said that, the old police officer stretched out his hand to indicate that he had official business and would not entertain the guests. Compared with yesterday's public safety incident that did not cause actual harm, the "sacrifice" of an active police officer in the line of duty will definitely make the deputy director who hates trouble the most even more anxious.
Some.
Zhen Cheng turned and left silently. Of course she knew what the old director meant. Once the matter obviously involves supernatural forces, according to regulations, the relevant departments of the three major families must take over.
In other words, the Zhen family should be fully responsible for the entire East Asia area in the Shikoku region where St. Matar Academy is located. The implication is, "If you have anything else, you can talk to your family on your own, and don't cause any more trouble to me."
"
Zhen Cheng understood this according to common sense, but when she was about to close the office door, she heard the firm voice of Deputy Director Sato from behind, which she had never heard before: "We will continue to pursue this case.
.”
One sentence allowed Zhen Cheng to obtain new important information: Qu Yun did not reveal any flaws that would give the police reason to take action, and there were no problems with her resume and background. And there was no trace of any supernatural force at the scene.
.
So she pushed the door half open, revealed half of her face and asked playfully: "Since we are about to share the same trouble, please forgive me for asking... What is her background?"
"The Severnt family." The old police officer waved his hand as if impatient and said it casually without thinking too much.
The Severnt family is a mysterious family that many people in the world have never heard of, but Zhen Cheng is not unfamiliar with. As one of the three famous families with the Zhen family, they are more low-key than the moderate and tolerant Zhen family, but they control the entire Middle East.
, the real power behind the scenes in South America and Africa.
Now that we are talking about this, we have to mention by the way the Scarry family, which controls Europe and North America. Most ordinary people have heard of it. One-fifth of the rulers of major monarchies on the earth are from this family, and another
One fifth are related to the family by marriage.
Most of the people in the top circles have heard that the Severnts and Scarries have some mysterious connection with the gods from outside the world. And that part of the mysterious power is what keeps the two families firmly seated behind the scenes after centuries of changes and dynasties.
the essential reason.
Zhen Cheng scorns religion, but if we assume that the other two major families have something to do with extraterrestrial extraordinary civilizations from beyond the sky... After experiencing what she has only come into contact with due to her position, she can still accept it.
As for the Zhen family, which is the most eccentric... Miss Thirteen is the core figure of the family. Even if she is not popular, she has no reason to know as many secrets of the family as the outsiders. But except for the deceiving extraordinary path, she
But I have never heard of the Zhen family having any profound supernatural background.
The only thing worth mentioning seems to be... my own bloodline seems to have been cursed. Ever since the oldest ancestors left records in the Stone Age, it seems that everyone with the same bloodline is unlucky, and the difference is just misfortune.
It's just a matter of severity.
Whenever he thinks about this, Zhen Cheng, who loves to use his brain, will inevitably have a strange and unreliable idea - can bad luck be a necessary and sufficient condition for ruling the world? Or is it because if the misfortune reaches a certain level, God can't stand it?
Are you going to give them some compensation?
All in all, what Zhen Cheng really cares about at this moment is the relationship between Qu Yun and the Severnt family. In other words... Why does an Eastern name, which seems to be within the control of the Zhen family, appear in the Severnt family tree?
What about guilt?
You must know that Deputy Director Sato's answer seems simple, but in fact it "unintentionally" reveals a lot of information. It is not "the adopted daughter of the Severnt family", not "the steward intern of the Severnt family", but just "Saint family"
"Venter Family"...
This is both a hint and a warning. Only Severant, who came to the academy as a member of the family, is worthy of this attributive. As a public official who receives public food from the Zhen family, Deputy Director Sato has reason to remind the family that there seems to be trouble.
The guy is reaching out to places he shouldn't touch.
After closing the office door, Zhen Cheng tapped her temples with her fingers.
After experiencing supernatural phenomena that she still couldn't figure out whether it was a resurrection from the dead, a rewind in time, or a detailed precognitive dream, she had already classified Qu Yun as the most troubled person in her life.
However, this transfer student... seems to be much more troublesome than his worst expectations.
