Pokémon: I'm a detective, not the sixth one.

2014, somewhere in China.

A young man who looked a little haggard got up early today, dressed himself neatly, and seemed to be going out to do something very important.

The man's home was very deserted and empty, with few pieces of furniture, giving people a lifeless feeling. On the hanger in the corner of his living room, there was a police uniform hanging, but the man chose other clothes before going out.

Soon, he took a taxi to a remote suburb, bypassed several alleys, and stood across the road from an orphanage.

The man looked a little conflicted, as if he really wanted to visit the courtyard, but due to some unknown constraints, he was ultimately unable to take a single step.

Three hours passed, and the man kept standing there, watching the group of children from afar, occasionally running around and playing in the orphanage fence.

The man is the anti-drug police officer Lao Liu, who is now carefully identifying what the son of his comrade Lu Changfeng looks like now.

Unfortunately, the boy didn’t seem to like going out to play, and Lao Liu waited for a long time but didn’t see him.

Thinking of the ten-year agreement between himself and Lu Changfeng, Lao Liu sighed, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and finally turned around and chose to leave.

Lu Changfeng once solved a major drug smuggling case at the cost of his life. Some of the vicious guys in this case are still on the run and difficult to arrest across borders.

Old Liu understood what Lu Changfeng meant, and he also knew how much those criminals hated him. Once the child's identity was exposed, he would most likely be assassinated by his enemies!

Therefore, Lao Liu would never put the descendants of the Lu family in danger. It was agreed that they would not see each other for ten years to give the children a childhood to grow up, so they must firmly fulfill it!

However, just as Lao Liu was about to return the same way, he met a strange man at a corner of a nearby street.

"Brother, why are you sitting here drinking alone?"

The man in front of Lao Liu was a bit sloppy, with a stubble that hadn't been shaved for at least two or three days. He was wearing a sports suit, but most of his body was dirty.

The reason why he was said to be strange was because the man's temperament was very outstanding. Even though he looked very down and out, he still exuded the aura of a successful person who was intimidating without being angry.

Based on Lao Liu's many years of experience as a police officer, the man should be a homeless person nearby and had just started working there.

"What's wrong with you? Are you homeless? We are currently promoting a civilized city, so don't sit in a place like this! If someone sees you, I will have to trouble... trouble the nearby police station to send police to rescue you!"

"How about this, I have a car and can take you directly to the shelter! Don't wander around outside, there are many other choices in life!"

Hearing this, the down-and-out man stopped drinking and tilted his head to glance at Lao Liu.

"A lot of options?"

"Then I choose to fend for myself, so stop interfering."

"Hey!? How can you talk like that! Look at what you look like now? Since I saw you, can I just ignore it!?"

Old Liu got angry instantly and took out his cell phone to ask his colleagues to coordinate with this person.

But the down-and-out man stopped him.

"Brother, thank you for your concern. Actually, I have a home, but I had a quarrel with my wife and was kicked out. I guess she should have calmed down after not seeing me for a few days. I will go back after I finish this bottle of wine."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Old Liu locked his phone screen again.

He looked at the nearby streets. Although there were not many people here, at least it was not a deserted place, so the man would not die in the mountains.

"Okay, that's what you said, go home after drinking."

Old Liu looked at the man seriously, and the latter nodded without refutation.

Out of caution, Lao Liu sent a text message to an acquaintance at the police station to inform him of the man's location, then turned around and left to go about his business.

As he walked away, the down-and-out man turned his head to look at the orphanage in the distance. Through the fence, he could see a young boy having fun with his friends.

There was no need to come forward to verify the identity, the man could tell at a glance that it must be his son!

Thick eyebrows, bright eyes, high nose bridge...

This child is exactly like me when I was young!

"Gudu... gudu..."

The man drank the liquor in one gulp, then wiped his lips, supported himself on the ground with one hand, and stood up unsteadily.

While scratching the fleas on his scalp, he walked into the sunlight, revealing his once powerful face.

He was the city’s former richest man, Zhai Wuji.

At this moment, Zhai Wuji's figure as he walked slowly forward was no longer as upright as before, but had a hunchback that matched his age.

The bottle of liquor just now was the last valuable item on him, and it was also the taste he missed the most in the past eight years.

Now, the two sums of money given by Xuanxuan and Secretary Lin, minus the travel expenses and drinks, were all deposited by Zhai Wuji in the name of Li Zheng in the orphanage.

He knew that without the help of Governor Zhang, he would not be able to turn things around at his current age.

If he cannot turn things around, it means that he will not be able to support Li Zheng for a long time.

Zhai Wuji was unable to change the current situation and could only watch the smiles of his own flesh and blood being sealed in the iron bars of the orphanage.

The last ray of light in his eyes gradually faded away, and all his worries about this world also disappeared.

Zhai Wuji's eyes were unfocused, and he strolled along the way, returning to the river that he was familiar with.

It was late at night, and there was no one around. Only the sign of "Emperor Jewellery" across the street was still lit, displaying the exquisite jewellery through the bulletproof glass.

Zhai Wuji looked at the brightness and laughed at himself.

He had never expected that he would fall into such a miserable state and approach the end of his life, and the one who would accompany him on his journey would be the emperor's name.

How could he, a criminal, deserve to enjoy the glory of an emperor's title?

His friends laughed at him, his lover left him, his relatives scolded him... As he approached the end, he could only curl up in such an empty corner and choose to die like a coward.

Zhai Wuji checked his conscience and realized that when he was in his prime, he owed no one anything wrong. But eight years later, how come things had changed so much?

It's not like he was born with the mentality of an unforgivable criminal. Wasn't he shaped by society and instructed by his leaders?

If your methods are not ruthless enough, you will be driven to death by your peers; if you don't touch dirty tricks, you will be abandoned by your leaders behind the scenes because you cannot generate huge profits.

He should really think about his own problems after falling into such a situation. But is he the only one with problems?

For some reason, Zhai Wuji suddenly laughed, thinking that compared to this, it was better to be an emperor.

He has everything from wealth and splendor to power, and is accompanied by beautiful courtiers.

Zhai Wuji is very much looking forward to it. If he is the leader of leaders, or even someone high enough to make the rules, will everything be different?

He dove into the river and let his body sink rapidly. At the last moment, he gave full play to his imagination and began to dream a great dream.

If there is an afterlife, he will definitely climb up! Not only to master the wealth of this world, but also to fight for the right to speak first!

In this way, no one can make him repeat the same mistake again, and no one can make him deserted by his friends and relatives!

As he was thinking, Zhai Wuji's thoughts were suddenly interrupted because he choked on a big mouthful of water.

The river water rushed into his trachea and went straight to his heart and lungs, causing him great pain.

But suddenly, he seemed to hear a call, the voice struck his soul, so clear that he opened his bloodshot eyes in shock under the water!

[Are you willing to leave like this? ]

[Are you willing to let it end like this? ]

[I can see into your heart. You are a person who can accomplish great things. You should not have to endure such a tragic ending.]

[You were led down the wrong path by a villain and became an innocent victim, but in fact, you have an extremely tenacious soul and are destined to achieve great things. ]

[Therefore, I decided to give you a chance and give you the right to be reborn. ]

【Are you willing to accept my invitation? 】
