born criminal

Chapter 17

Ten hours after Smith's report was published, the chief of the New York Police Department finally responded under the pressure of public opinion. He said with deep sorrow that he would restart the investigation process of the case and suspend the deportation of James Luther to Mars.

This ambiguous statement aroused public dissatisfaction, and a large number of citizens took to the streets to march on the same day, demanding that the real murderer be brought to justice.

In the base, voices calling for freedom are also growing louder.Chen Jian made another public speech, briefly describing the whole story of the Lily kidnapping case, reflecting on the problems existing in public security, and promised that the government will improve one by one.

Although there is no other evidence, most people already believe that Kyle Green is K.The New York police hunted down the serial killer who failed to catch for more than a month, but the base police only took 36 hours to catch him. Compared with the two, some residents who were dissatisfied with Chen Jian also changed their attitudes.Coupled with the genuine gunshot wound on his arm, Chen Jian successfully resolved a moderate political crisis.

The next day, a piece of news in the New York Times ignited the world. The emails secretly colluded by UNPO Deputy Director Pound and the New York Police Chief were accidentally leaked. The contents involved corruption and bribery, as well as the plan to replace Kyle Green with James Luther, which shocked the world.

Within a day, scandals of all sizes emerged one after another, and Baige faction's family was wiped out.The white dove faction benchmark figures who are usually very active, either tuck their tails to be human, or distance themselves from the relationship to express their ignorance, and some even announced that "the political stance has changed", leaving only two or three extreme radicals still working as trapped animals. fight.

On the third day, the commissioner of the New York Police Department was fired.

On the fourth day, Pound, the deputy director of UNPO, was dismissed, and Jeffrey, the captain of the fourth team, took over temporarily.

On the fifth day, the U.S. Department of Justice formally submitted an extradition request to the United Nations.

On the sixth day, Base One received a document from the coalition government requesting its cooperation in transferring Kyle Green.

"You are really good at predicting things." Chen Jian kneaded the document into a ball. This new type of paper is extremely elastic, and as soon as he loosened his hand, it stretched out again.He squeezed and loosened it endlessly, and asked Yangzhou, "Does it look like a flower?"

He obviously didn't take the order of the coalition government seriously, Yangzhou asked: "Are you not going to hand over Kyle Green?"

Chen Jian said casually, "Hand over, why not?"

Before the words fell, a hoarse and indistinct cry came from outside.

"New Year's Eve is coming soon, who is crying in front of my door." Chen Jian asked Andrew to take a look. Andrew moved his ears and quickly recognized: "It's Mr. Geller."

Chen Jian was impatient: "If you don't take care of Lily, why are you crying here?"

D3 explained: "He has been sitting in front of the government building for the past few days, demanding that Kyle Green be severely punished. Maybe he heard that the United States proposed extradition and did not want Kyle Green to be tried outside the base, so he came here to find you."

Ten minutes later, Fang Xing hurriedly opened the door and came in, shouting, "Chen Jian, you are still here!"

His eyes made brief contact with Yang Zhou, and Yang Zhou clearly read "Why hasn't he left yet".

Chen Jian was leisurely playing with the paper in his hand, pinching it into various strange shapes, and said without raising his head, "You helped me get rid of it."

"How can that be done!" Fang Xingxing came over, grabbed Chen Jian's collar with one hand, tugged symbolically, and persuaded: "If you are so indifferent, everyone will be chilled."

Chen Jian was folding swans, but when he interrupted him, he didn't know what to do next, so he sighed irritably.

Most of the people living in this area are government officials. Because Mr. Geller was crying so badly, there was already a circle of people around, comforting him with nice words.

However, Mr. Geller is like an imperceptible puppet, unable to listen to anyone.I don't know whether it was for begging or because he ran out of energy, he knelt on the lawn like mud, and kept repeating broken cries: "Lily, my Lily!"

Chen Jian and Fang Xing were still in a stalemate, but Yang Zhou couldn't stand the heart-wrenching crying, so he persuaded, "Let's go and have a look."

Chen Jian threw the document into the fireplace and stood up helplessly: "Okay."

"Wait a minute," Yang Zhou thought for a while, and gently told him, "Accumulate some morals."

The corner of Chen Jian's mouth turned up, and he smiled softly at him: "Understood."

Fang Xing took a deep look at Yang Zhou, and the hand hanging by his side was clenched into a fist, leaving a few nail marks on the palm.

Yangzhou sat in the villa for a while, he was worried after all, he hesitated and followed out.

There were more than a dozen people around on the lawn. Mr. Geller lay prone on the ground, and Chen Jian squatted in front of him, holding his arms, as if he was persuading him patiently.

Mr. Geller had gray hair, dull eyes, and mechanically moving lips.Although he didn't make a sound, Yangzhou could still see that he was calling Lily's name.

When he was three meters away from the crowd, Chen Jian's irritability had just reached its peak, and he roared, "Don't fucking cry!"

Yang Zhou stopped in his tracks.The people present were also taken aback, smiling wryly and giving each other winks.In fact, they were also disturbed by Mr. Geller's crying, but no one dared to speak out like Chen Jian, because no one wanted to be labeled as "cruel and cold-blooded".

Mr. Geller regained consciousness after being yelled at, stopped crying, and looked straight at Chen Jian.

"Lily is still lying in the hospital, and your wife is also ill." Chen Jian softened his face: "If you collapse again, who will take care of Lily? You know she won't let others get close."

"Chen," Mr. Geller pointed to his heart, and said hoarsely, "I am in pain, very painful, can you feel it?"

Chen Jian expressionlessly said firmly, "No."

Mr. Geller opened his mouth blankly, and trembling tears welled up in his dry eye sockets.

"Empathy is fake. No one can fully understand another person's pain." Chen Jian raised Mr. Geller from the ground with force, "Your family needs you, so you have to endure the pain."

Mr. Geller couldn't stand steadily, and most of the people were leaning on Chen Jian.His lips trembled, but he couldn't speak a complete sentence.

"When I was ten years old, my father left me." Chen Jian turned his head slightly to avoid the gaze of the crowd.He paused for a while before saying: "Before he left, he promised me that he would come back and let me wait for him. So for a whole year after that, I stood at the gate of the city every day until the sun set. He hasn't come back yet, but I don't need to stand there waiting for him anymore."

There was silence all around, and even the raging cold wind stopped whistling.Except for Fang Xing who knew about it, everyone present thought that Chen Jian was an orphan abandoned by his parents to the base. When he suddenly heard him talk about the past, everyone was surprised.Fang Xing's eye circles were red, he retreated to the outermost edge of the crowd and sniffed.

Chen Jian's grief was fleeting, and he returned to almost cold calm: "So, in fact, people only need a simple thought to survive. Lily needs you, and remembering this is enough."

Mr. Geller said intermittently, "But...but...it hurts..."

As soon as Chen Jian made a gesture to send it off, two people beside him rushed forward and took Mr. Geller from him. "This is the time for religion to play a role. Go and find your God." Chen Jian crossed himself and told them to send Mr. Geller back.Mr. Geller didn't resist, and he was powerless to resist. He was supported and left with a heavy foot and a shallow foot.

The onlookers greeted Chen Jian and went back to their homes.Fang Xing stood where he was, and seeing him walking towards him, he couldn't help but smile.However, Chen Jian blew past him like a gust of wind, and Fang Xing's outstretched hand caught nothing.He turned his head and saw Chen Jian stopped in front of Yang Zhou.

It turned out that his end point was never him.

"The cross is wrong." Yang Zhou gave Chen Jian a sideways look.

Chen Jian retorted confidently: "There are so many religions in the world, I can't study them one by one."

They walked side by side to the villa, their manners were not intimate, and they didn't even touch their hands, but when they stood together, there was an atmosphere that was difficult for outsiders to blend in.

But he was not an outsider. Fang Xing looked at their backs and thought sadly that Yangzhou should be an outsider.

Chen Jian and Yang Zhou stepped onto the corridor in front of the door one after the other. Chen Jian pushed open the door, bowed in a gentlemanly manner, and signaled Yang Zhou to advance.

Yangzhou stopped in his tracks, and suddenly said: "Your father..." He pondered for a while, his tone became hesitant and cautious, but he still couldn't find the best way to express it.

Chen Jian whistled frivolously.He turned around and asked ambiguously, "Do you love me?"

Yang Zhou tilted his head to avoid the suddenly enlarged handsome features, took a very light breath, and said, "I'm a little curious."

"I made it up." Chen Jian straightened up, leaning against the door frame and smiling heartlessly, "You are so easy to deceive."

Yang Zhou's expression froze for a second, then raised his brows slightly.Because of this action, his peach eyes became round and round, a bit out of line with his age, but not out of harmony with his innocence and cuteness.

After a long time, Chen Jian knew that it was a sign of his anger, but at that time he was immersed in the beauty and relaxed his vigilance.Until Yangzhou passed by him calmly, and then kicked his calf.

Chen Jian was already standing unsteadily, but he fell to the ground in embarrassment after receiving this sudden blow.

D3 came over after hearing the sound, and said in surprise, "Chen, the threshold is not high!"

"Shut up." Chen Jian patted his pants to stand up, walked slowly into the room, and teased affectionately: "You still have a big temper."

When Yang Zhou returned to his room, the frequency of the watch on his wrist vibrated faster and faster, almost scalding his skin.

He put on his headphones and said "Hi".

The other side obviously didn't expect him to answer the call, and it took two seconds of silence before they came to their senses, and said angrily, "Louis, why haven't you contacted me for so long?"

"Don't you know?"

His indifference made Jeffrey feel guilty for a moment.

"I don't know, oh, is that... well, I'm sorry for not telling you about Kyle Green in advance, but this is the result of the above discussion, and I can only implement it." Jeffrey waited for a while, Yang Zhou still kept silent, he said awkwardly and angrily: "It didn't cause serious consequences, didn't it? And the current situation is very favorable to us, isn't that what you want to see? Louis, why are you so stubborn, isn't China also saying If you say it, once it will be successful, ten thousand bones will die—"

Yang Zhou sneered, "Go to hell."

He was about to cut off the communication, and Jeffrey over there shouted anxiously: "Wait for Louis! The White Dove faction already knows about the genetic experiment!"

Yangzhou's hand stopped in the air, and Jeffrey said in one breath: "Although everyone is shouting at the White Dove faction, if the genetic experiment proves to be true, they will be able to reverse the situation immediately! At that time, they will retaliate. The living conditions of born criminals will be even worse. Is this what you hoped? The White Dove faction is now full of scandals and internal divisions, but how long can we hold them back? When they complete their reorganization, they will definitely send people to the base to investigate. It will be too late then!"

Jeffrey likes to scare people, Yang Zhou knows it very well.But his words lingered in Yangzhou's ears.

Living in the base for a while, he has adapted to the harsh environment, backward technology and leisurely life here.When I chose the position of the rose faction, the starting point was just justice, but now, it is uncontrollably entangled with personal feelings.

What does the future hold for the base?

The White Dove faction waiting for an opportunity, the sanctimonious Rose faction, and the ambitious base forces, who will win in the end?

Yang Zhou calmed down and said, "I am no longer a member of UNPO, and you have no right to command me."

What else did Jeffrey want to say, Yang Zhou hastily cut off: "I know what to do."

Someone knocked on the door, Yangzhou thought it was Chen Jian listening to the corner, and vigilantly touched the weapon.

"Mr. Yang, it's me."

Hearing that it was Andrew's voice, Yangzhou relaxed: "What's wrong?"

Andrew entered the room and closed the door, and asked him what he planned to do next.Yang Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and then he remembered that he was his first-level commander.

Andrew rationally analyzed that now that their identities have been exposed, Chen Jian is very defensive, and the investigation is difficult. Perhaps it is a wise choice to leave.

How could Yangzhou not know his plight.To Jeffrey, he is a traitor to UNPO, and to Chen Jian, he is a lackey of the coalition government.Nobody trusted him, and he didn't trust them.

But he can't just give up.

Yang Zhou stared at the elk in the corner and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's stay."

Andrew didn't ask the reason, but nodded to show that he understood.
