Realistic Longevity

Chapter 9 Suspected crime

Coming out of the cemetery, Cheng Chuhua bid farewell to Yun Shuxia, and took the bus back to Time Restaurant.

It is two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still a few hours before the meal, and there is not a single customer in the store, which is also very suitable for the occasion.

When Cheng Chuhua entered, several waiters were sitting around a three-person seat in the corner Fighting the Landlord, and the boss was drinking white wine and peanuts and watching the sweet pet drama of the Brainless Immortal Hero on his mobile phone. Only Zhuo Yiran was quietly doing business - he was choosing vegetables.

"The boss has already drawn up the menu for the afternoon, let's take a look." Seeing Cheng Chuhua approaching, Zhuo Yiran temporarily put down the half-selected beans, handed him a handwritten menu, and then continued with the unfinished work.

Such a quiet and well-behaved colleague, why did I think he was dangerous before?

Cheng Chuhua asked himself a question in his heart before taking the menu and looking at it.

Mapo tofu, chopped pepper fish head, spicy chicken diced...

Hey guys, it's all spicy!Boss, what stimulated you?

"Okay, I see. Are there enough ingredients in the kitchen?" Cheng Chuhua put down the menu and rolled up his sleeves to choose beans with him.

"There are not enough millet peppers and dried chili peppers. I ordered them on 'Quick Delivery' and they will be delivered soon." Zhuo Yiran was originally sitting in the middle of a long wooden bench. Seeing this, he moved to the side, "Sit down Bar."

"Okay." Cheng Chuhua nodded and sat down, but there was still a person's distance between them.

Not long after, the courier delivered Zhuo Yiran's millet pepper and dried chili peppers to the store. Just as the beans were almost finished, the two of them entered the kitchen with the ingredients and began to prepare for the next busy meal.

At the same time, Tang Ran and his new colleagues returned to the old site of the Jianghai Special Branch.

The people with special abilities who escaped from this place have had a huge impact on this place. The impact of the torrent of time has made the surrounding scenery half new, half old, half ancient, half modern. outline the structure.

Tang Ran jumped onto the ruins, found the original office on the first floor, and found the fish tank, the entrance to the different space where criminals with special abilities were detained in the previous branch among the scattered items.

The different space was destroyed, and the fish tank was used as the entrance, so it was naturally fragmented, only half of the bottom of the tank was intact.

Tang Ran stretched out his hand and pulled the pieces of the fish tank together, checked them one by one, and touched the bottom of the tank, and finally tore off a blue object that looked like a broken seal from the sharp corner of a certain piece.

The new colleague had followed his example and rummaged around. Seeing that he had found something, he hurried over and asked, "What did you find?"

"I found the key item that helped the boss escape."

Tang Ran got up with a dark face, and without waiting for his new colleague to react, he grabbed his collar and opened the space tunnel, and took a step forward, directly from the branch to the inpatient department of the city hospital.

To be precise, it is in front of the door of Ward 305 on the third floor of the inpatient department.

The new colleague was taken aback, looked left and right, and was relieved to confirm that there was no one nearby.

"Brother, what are you doing..."

The new colleague wanted to complain, but Tang Ran didn't even look at him, he just pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.

305 lived in someone who was injured by a fleeing special ability user. He did not face the fugitive head-on, so the injury was much lighter than Concubine Yun Xue. When Tang Ran entered, he was eating an Apple and looking at his mobile phone, but he saw Tang Ran's murderous look When Teng Teng walked towards him, the apple and the phone fell to the ground together.

A certain person is a certain person after all, and the thick-skinned way of being in the rivers and lakes is thick-skinned. Even if he sees that Tang Ran has found out what he has done, he can still put on a smiley face and try to get away with it: "Tang Ran, you are here, and we found out about the big boss's identity." Where are you going? Do you need me to help you..."

What responded to him was a document that Tang Ranzhao threw in the face.

Ignoring his sore nose, someone hurriedly opened the document, and the title made him feel suffocated.

——Preparation of 20 indemnity penalty letter for someone's behavior of accepting private work.

"The judgment of the Ministry of Law Enforcement came down so soon?!" Someone was so excited that his voice broke.

"Of course, everyone is very active in the fine. After all, half of the 20 miles is their bonus." Tang Ran pulled a chair and sat down, picked up an apple, and began to peel it with Erlang's legs.Although the new colleague didn't know why, he also stood behind him, adding to his already compelling aura, "Now tell the truth, and I can find a way to save you from part of the punishment. If you dare to lie, I will directly report the conclusion and You hand it over to the Law Enforcement Department together, and when the time comes, your punishment will not be compensation, but life compensation."

Someone even wanted to play dumb: "I didn't know you were..."

Tang Ran snapped his fingers, and the space tunnel around him opened wide. Someone was so frightened that he choked back all the remaining words, and said repeatedly: "I say, I say, I say everything!"

"Then let's start." Tang Ran threw him what he found from the fragments of the fish tank, "Let's start with the fragments of the Liangyi Life and Death Disk."

Someone picked up the fragment and said with a mournful face, "This is actually a fragment of the Liangyi seal of life and death..."

"Isn't the seal taken from the Liangyi life-and-death disk?" Tang Ran raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Of course a seal doesn't have the power of a complete Liangyi life-and-death disk, but at the level of law, the two are the same Otherwise, why would it destroy the different space opened by the minister? It’s not wrong for me to call it the Liangyi Life and Death Disk.”

"Yes, yes, you are right, you are right." Someone nodded hurriedly, not daring to argue, "This Liangyi seal of life and death...is my mission subsidy. Didn't I tell you that I took a private job? In fact, the content of the private work is not only the one I said, but also... put this seal on the entrance of the different space."

Tang Ran snorted coldly: "No wonder you are so nervous about the entrance of a different space these days. If you bump into it by accident, you don't even cry out the pain. You just care about the entrance. It turns out that what you care about is not the entrance, but the seal on the entrance?"

Someone nodded.

The Liangyi Life and Death Seal is a part of the legendary artifact Liangyi Life and Death Disk, which has the power to reverse yin and yang, reverse life and death, and destroy all tangible and intangible things.It is precisely because the Liangyi Life and Death Seal exerted part of the effect of the Liangyi Life and Death Disk that the entrance to the different space was destroyed, and the people with special abilities imprisoned in it escaped.

The whereabouts of the Liangyi life and death disk have long been unknown, and there are even doubts about whether it really exists, but there are only a few of the Liangyi life and death seals handed down in the world, but most of them are a mystery.This private job that someone took over actually used the Liangyi seal of life and death. It seems that the person behind the task is not a simple person.

"Continue." Tang Ran's thoughts turned sharply, but his face remained calm.

Someone hesitated for a moment, but didn't dare to hesitate for too long, for fear that he would really throw himself to the law enforcement department: "I received the private job through a friend's channel. I really don't know who the person who issued the task is, my friend It’s just a middleman. But my friend said that this task has something to do with the branch of Chuhuai City, so if I was found out, I would boldly throw the blame there. Anyway, no matter whether they did it or not, they will not take the blame. injustice."

Chuhuai City Branch?Why is it involved in another branch?

Tang Ran squinted his eyes, his face remained calm, but he began to think secretly in his heart.

Although there are only three points of water in Chuhuai City, the water there is much deeper than the six points in Jianghai City.In addition to the strongest overall strength of the Chuhuai City branch, the more important reason is that the composition of this branch is very complicated.

As mentioned earlier, the special department cooperates with several domestic companies that focus on scientific research. During the cooperation process, each company has placed its own people in the special department for various reasons. He was secretly transferred to the Chuhuai City Branch by the person in charge of the Human Resources Department of the headquarters, firstly to give those companies an explanation, and secondly to prevent them from having too much impact on the operation of the special department.

Because of this, the Chuhuai City branch has almost become a branch of Erwuzi, where there is an atmosphere of intrigue all day long.Everyone thinks that they are the only undercover agent, so they often make some actions that are considered silly by outsiders, but in the eyes of their colleagues who are also undercover agents, these actions will be interpreted with many unfathomable meanings. Playing against each other, acting in the name of a game, but in reality.

More than ten years have passed, and the Chuhuai City branch has been managed by this group of well-selected second-five boys with amazing intelligence and mobility. It is as airtight as an iron bucket. It became the real undercover base camp, the biggest vortex in the vast ocean of the special department.The situation inside is so complicated that even the headquarters dare not say that they fully understand it. Any outsider who doesn't understand the situation will basically be hit with a bloody head when they step in.

The special department originally wanted to eliminate hidden dangers, but it did not expect to inadvertently use this hidden danger to breed even greater hidden dangers.

"I'm not surprised that there are any problems in the Chuhuai City Branch." Tang Ran peeled half of the apple, and the peel would hang down to the instep, "But I don't think they dare to do such a big thing as the private release of fugitives. Those who are capable are just a bunch of [-]-year-olds.”

Someone smiled dryly: "What if the people behind them signaled?"

Tang Ran paused, and the long fruit peel was cut off.He handed the apple to his new colleague, the knife was spinning fast in his hand, the silver light fluttered around, staring at someone expressionlessly.

Someone shrank his neck.

"Don't try to mislead me. My task is not to investigate who saved the person. What I want to investigate is where the person went." Tang Ran slowly took out the second document, which opened his mind and made him think of Someone's abnormal copy, "I saw something in an event record related to the ability of 'time travel'. Do you want to explain it yourself, or should I go through a process and analyze it for you?"

A certain person's face was stiff, and his mouth could not be opened as if it was stuck.

"Okay." Tang Ran nodded and was not angry, "As we all know, 'Time Tracing' is the third special ability in the ranks, and we all know that time-type abilities are always stronger than other abilities of the same personality. Therefore, it can only be ranked third because the owner can only control the flow of time, but cannot truly control time."

As he said that, he opened the file and read the last line on the last page: "'The chaotic time impact caused the time in the branch to appear disordered. My body time went back to my childhood, but my mind seemed to advance to the future. I don't know exactly what's going on around me, so I don't know what happened'. Are these words familiar?"

Someone still can't open their mouth.

The new colleague took a bite of the apple, held his chin and thought for a while: "This seems to be the testimony of this guy. I read the record of the incident before I came to Jianghai City, and there happened to be this paragraph in it."

"Then tell me, what is wrong with this testimony." Tang Ran continued to ask.

The new colleague didn't have his photographic memory and couldn't remember the complete testimony, so he took the document from him and read it.He was still watching, and someone couldn't help it.

"I lied, the boss didn't attack me, so I don't know how it feels to be impacted by the turbulent flow of time. But if I want to get myself out of this matter, I can only pretend to be attacked by time." Luanliu looks like he was injured, and he was admitted to the hospital with Sister Yun." Someone rubbed his face hard, "But I really don't know where the big brother has gone, and my mission is only until he leaves the branch."

Tang Ran frowned: "Really?"

Someone nodded vigorously, his expression was so serious that his new colleagues almost believed it.

"Then why did you tell this lie?" Tang Ran asked slowly, "Whether you enter the hospital or not, you will be investigated, and as far as I know, except for Sister Yun, who is still in a coma, everyone else has been treated more severely. Interrogation. The Law Enforcement Department is not stupid. It is impossible for them not to think that there may be fugitive accomplices hiding among the members of the branch. As the party that is most likely to be picked out, you wounded will only face stricter surveillance and investigation. "

Hearing this, the new colleague thumped his palm and suddenly realized: "I know, if he really wants to take himself out, he shouldn't pretend to be injured, this will only increase his suspicion."

Tang Ran raised his head and glanced at him in surprise, and suddenly realized that it would be nice to have such a paddling teammate by his side, at least it could make him talk less.

"I'm actually..." Someone froze again, the feeling of being exposed one after another was like slaps on his face one after another, the harm was not strong, and the insult was extremely high.

"The actual results of what you have done are completely opposite to the results you imagined. Either you are really stupid and didn't think of this level, or you are using this lie to hide another more important thing." Tang Ran Close the file and watch him begin to conclude his statement, "It seems that you have put yourself in a dangerous position, but as long as you pass the investigation of the law enforcement department, what you concealed will be completely covered up, and no one will doubt you again , check you. Am I right?"

The new colleague stared at him suspiciously.

Someone was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly when the atmosphere in the ward was about to drop to freezing point.

"You're right, I did hide a very important matter." Putting away his playful smile, someone fixedly looked at Tang Ran, and Tang Ran looked back at him calmly.These surprisingly calm eyes have stared at many people with similar gazes, and every time they can see through their minds and reveal their true inner thoughts.

But someone never imagined that one day he would be one of those people.

The fruit knife was spinning quickly in Tang Ran's hand: "Let's hear it."

"Didn't I go to the house of that man named Cheng Chuhua with you yesterday? In fact, that is also one of my tasks."

"What does this matter have to do with him?" Tang Ran stopped turning the knife, and his body, which was leaning lazily on the back of the chair, immediately sat upright, and his expression became serious.

Someone rubbed his temples helplessly: "I'm going there to scout, because the place where the boss will go after he escapes from the branch is his house. I have to make sure that he is not involved in the previous case and will not be monitored by you. His residence is safe. So I suspect that he may be related to the boss or the person who issued the mission."

Tang Ran narrowed his eyes slightly to look at him, and he met Tang Ran's gaze calmly, without any guilt.

No trace of lying.

Tang Ran quickly made a judgment, but he didn't feel happy or relaxed because he asked the answer he needed. Instead, he felt strangely heavy.

Could Cheng Chuhua really have something to do with this matter?

Putting this question to the bottom of his heart temporarily, Tang Ran stood up and said to his new colleague: "I have a task for you, send this guy and the materials I printed just now to the Law Enforcement Department, and say that I asked you to bring them there, and they know what to do."

"Ah, good." The new colleague nodded, threw the fruit core into the trash can, and reached out to grab someone.

A certain person didn't expect him to say this, and shouted loudly while avoiding his new colleagues: "You said you would help me mitigate punishment—"

"Yes, but my prerequisite is that you can't lie to me." Tang Ran sneered, "You can count how many times you have fooled me just now."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the ward without waiting for someone to continue to argue.

The new colleague grabbed someone by the back of the neck like a chick, and asked his back: "Where should I find you when I get back from the law enforcement department in a while?"

Tang Ran waved his hands without looking back: "Go directly to Yunhai Community and wait for me."

At the same time, Cheng Chuhua, who was busy in the kitchen, shuddered for no reason, and had an inexplicable feeling that disaster was imminent.

"What's wrong?" Zhuo Yiran, who was cutting potatoes beside him, looked over when he noticed his abnormality, "Is it cold?"

Cheng Chuhua pulled out a smile: "It's okay, I accidentally got splashed with oil."

Zhuo Yiran frowned slightly, glanced at the sliced ​​fried meat in the pot, quickly cut up the remaining shredded potatoes and put them in the water for later use, then said to Cheng Chuhua: "I'll fry the sliced ​​meat, and I marinated the fish head with cooking wine , you go put the seasoning on the pot and steam it."

"it is good."

Cheng Chuhua didn't think too much, and gave up his position and the spatula to handle the fish head with chopped peppers, and he didn't bother with the fleeting premonition just now.
