Uchiha of Zero Zone
Chapter 2 Late Night Search
It was obviously impossible for Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi, who were standing outside the door, to leave so easily, so Zhong Yan had no choice but to invite them both into the house. After making sure that there were no other sheriffs around, he closed the door.
When they entered the house, the two professional sheriffs immediately began to look around at the furnishings.
The area of this house is not big, with one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, one kitchen, and no balcony. It is only about a few dozen square meters in total. Coupled with Zhong Yan's habits, the whole house looks very messy.
Perhaps the only tidy place is his workbench, which is the desk with the computer and the bookshelf full of books next to it... Of course, these are just decorations.
"Wow, he's still creating. He's indeed a well-known new writer who has emerged recently. He's still working so late." While looking around, Qingyi saw the writer's background interface on the computer screen, and said jokingly with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.
It can be seen that the two of them are well aware of Zhong Yan's public identity.
However, Zhong Yan was a little curious. Was it just because of his identity as a writer that the two of them visited him in the middle of the night?
This is obviously impossible, so he must be prepared for his Uchiha identity to be exposed.
"Readers have been a little restless lately, asking for more updates. If I don't work harder on writing, they'll really think I'm tired." Zhong Yan laughed, but didn't show any major emotional fluctuations.
Seeing this, Qing Yi responded calmly: "I have read your novel. The content is very good, especially the experience of exploring the cave. It is just like the real thing."
Halfway through her speech, she suddenly paused for a moment, turned her gaze to Zhu Yuan beside her, and continued, "It's so real that one can't help but wonder if the person who can write such a work has really been to the Hollow?"
As she finished her words, the next second, Zhu Yuan took out a search warrant from her pocket and placed it in front of Zhong Yan: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Zhong Yan, because the content of your work is too realistic, it is more professional than many senior void investigators."
"So, with the approval of the higher-ups, I, the sheriff Zhu Yuan, and Senior Qingyi will investigate whether you are a cave robber as the rumors say. If this causes any inconvenience, please wait until the investigation is over before reporting to the higher-ups."
Hearing this, Zhong Yan was stunned at first, then he said: "Investigation? No, what is there to investigate here? You can't bully a commoner like me, right? You actually suspect that I am a cave robber?"
Zhong Yan's rebuttal did not move the two men at all. Qing Yi even said in a slightly targeted manner: "Hey, we really don't dare to bully ordinary people, but you are a new writer [Zhong Shuren] who has recently become famous in New Ailidu. The number of your fans is almost over 200,000, right?"
[Zhong Shuren] is the pen name Zhong Yan used when he registered his writer information online. The excellent quality of his works made the number of his fans soar to over six figures in just a few months.
His monthly income reached a staggering one million dinis, otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to buy a house in New Ailidu so quickly.
"Two hundred thousand fans are nothing. In New Eridu, any random online opinion can bring down a large number of authors with two hundred thousand fans. What's more, my etheric aptitude test score is zero. Zero etheric aptitude! I'm afraid I'll be corroded into a corpse as soon as I enter the void."
In New Eridu, Aether Suitability determines how long a person can survive in the void. Generally speaking, people with a score below 50 are not suitable to enter the void.
Zhong Yan's score was zero, which was quite rare. Perhaps it was because he was not from this world.
However, an ether suitability of zero does not mean that he cannot enter the void. On the contrary, as long as nutrition and body functions are guaranteed, he can survive in the void almost permanently.
If such news were announced, it would probably attract the covetousness of many forces. What's worse, it is estimated that they would use him for human experiments to create drugs that can absolutely adapt to cavitation erosion.
"This is what makes you special. I have never heard of a person with zero etheric adaptability. In New Eridu, even newborn babies have some etheric adaptability to a certain extent. As for you... you are too suspicious, great writer."
Qingyi pretended to be naughty and put her finger in front of her nose and made a cute expression. While she was confronting Zhong Yan, Zhu Yuan on the side had already begun a full-scale search.
From the wardrobe to the drawers, even the kitchen cabinets and the toilet in the bathroom, she left nothing untouched.
This shows that as a sheriff, Zhu Yuan is absolutely competent.
Otherwise, she would not have been able to become the squad leader of the Public Security Bureau at this age. Even the Qingyi man whom she called a senior was actually her subordinate.
After searching through all the boxes and cabinets, Zhu Yuan did not find anything suspicious and immediately came to report: "Senior, no items related to the cave robber were found. He seems to be just an ordinary high school student and online writer."
Hearing the result, Qingyi, who was originally confident of victory, couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly. Seeing her expression, Zhong Yan subconsciously protected a place.
It was an inconspicuous drawer under his computer desk.
However, such small actions of his naturally could not escape the sight of the two sheriffs.
"Zhu Yuan, have you searched there?" Qing Yi asked, pointing at the drawer behind Zhong Yan.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuan's eyes narrowed and he shook his head, "No."
"Then it's there?"
As Qingyi finished speaking, Zhu Yuan walked straight towards the computer desk, while Zhong Yan stood guard in front of the desk, not wanting her to get close.
But in the end, he could not escape the fate of having his secret revealed, and allowed Zhu Yuan to open the drawer that he regarded as his life.
Then, Zhu Yuan took out several magazines and comics. The overly unhealthy covers already represented the content inside.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuan silently put the things back, then closed the drawer, bowed to Zhong Yan with deep apology and said: "I am very sorry for causing you trouble."
Afterwards, under Qingyi's gaze that was extremely like that of a female ghost, Zhong Yan sent the two of them out of the house while cursing.
Looking at the two people's backs gradually going away, he felt his face turn red and purple, and then he couldn't help but roar.
"I will definitely file a complaint against you two at the police station!"
