Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 73 The Descendants of the Dragon Clan (35)
I didn't know how to answer, Zhao Qi said loudly: "He is not a murderer."

The policeman said, "Then who are you?"

Although Zhao Qi was sweating profusely from the pain, he suddenly yelled loudly: "He was passing by, and he was so frightened. Are you arresting the bad guys or the good guys?"

The police officer looked at me and then at Zhao Qi, his tone was more polite, and he said to me: "We need you to record a detailed record of the scene, I hope you can cooperate."

I nodded, I really didn't expect Zhao Qi not to betray me.Then an ambulance came and took Zhao Qi away; I went to the police station to take a statement.After a while, only one person shouted: "Who is Luo Huan? The leader of your unit is here." I looked towards the door and saw the head of the group striding over.

I hurriedly stood up and said, "Commander, why are you here?"

Head Chen glanced at me and said, "Zhao Qi called me, and I came here. How is the investigation going?"

I said, "It's almost finished."

The head of the regiment Chen seemed to have a deep expression on his face, and said, "Comrade police, can we go?"

The policeman said: "Yes, but if Comrade Luo Huan is needed to assist in the investigation, please do so."

Head Chen said: "There is no shirking the responsibility. We are doing investigation work ourselves, and we know the importance."

The policeman stood up and shook hands with us, saying, "I apologize for delaying your time, and thank Comrade Luo Huan for your help."

After getting in the car, the leader thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say you went home to sleep, why did you get there?"

I will never distrust the head, even if I entrust my life to him, I will not hesitate at all, but this is the first and only time in my life that I lied to the head, because the headmaster.

I said: "It was Kebi who hijacked me there, and he lured Zhao Qi out through me."

After telling this lie, I felt flushed, not because of anything else, but because the person I deceived was the leader, and I felt that with the leader's wisdom, my lie was full of loopholes for him.But the leader didn't speak, started the car and sent me to the community.When getting out of the car, the group leader said: "The principal will come back tomorrow, and I want to see you by name."

I said: "Why?"

The head of the group said: "You will know tomorrow, go back and have a good rest, don't think about it."

I nodded, watched the head of the group drive away, and returned home with anxiety.Early the next morning, I received a call from the group leader, asking me to go to work and wait for him.When I arrived at the unit, I was first received by the leader. He was a very kind middle-aged man, but today he was even more kind. I really don’t know what good thing I did. He said: "Xiao Luo, you are really there, President Dong You actually said that you are outstanding, what have you done?"

I was confused by the question, but looking at his expectant eyes, I really couldn't bear to let him down, so I said, "Isn't it just that I assisted the police in a little investigation work last night? It's nothing serious. President Dong is encouraging young people .”

The leader smiled and said: "That's good, but it's a good thing if someone praises you. He said he will come to see you soon, so you should prepare."

I didn't know what to prepare, so I sat on the sofa and waited for his arrival.After a while, I heard the voice of the head of the group, and I hurried to the door, only to see the principal, Yang Chenglong, and the head of the group walking over in a file.When he saw me, he smiled and said, "Xiao Luo, I heard that you were kidnapped recently. How are you? Didn't you get frightened?"

I said, "No, you know all the little things?"

Before the principal could speak, the leader also came out to welcome them. The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and the leader said: "The place is ready for you, just stay in my office, and I will make room for you."

The principal said: "You are too polite, we can't take the lead, just chat with Ronaldinho in the corridor."

The leader said: "That can't be done. Such a high-level leader finally came here. You can't neglect it. You go in and talk, and I will do something."

The principal said a few words politely, turned around and nodded at Yang Chenglong, and the three of us entered the leadership office.The head of the group didn't come in, and the headmaster didn't sit on the leader's chair, but just sat on the opposite sofa, and the two of us sat down afterward, and the headmaster said: "Xiao Luo, when I heard about you, you Everyone is back, no matter what, it’s fine, you haven’t been wronged there, have you?”

One of these two people is a prophet, and the other can read people's minds. I didn't know if I should lie, and said: "Fortunately, I have been with Kebi all the time, and no one has disturbed me."

The headmaster said, "So you haven't seen anyone else?"

I said: "I've seen a few, but it's just one side, but I know that all of these people have supernatural powers."

The principal said: "This is a mistake in my judgment. I thought that there might be a few people from the Tianling tribe coming, but I didn't expect that all of these people came for me. Ronaldinho, I came to see you today just to hope you agree My point is, don't let others know about this, and you are still not safe, I hope you will make all preparations to protect yourself."

I said: "Could it be that you came to see me today just to say this?"

I saw Yang Chenglong's eyes narrowed, as if he wanted to speak, but the principal said very calmly: "Yes, this matter is not a big deal to me, but it may have a huge impact on the group of supernatural beings. I'm very worried about that."

I said, "Which aspect of the influence do you mean?"

The principal said: "The reason is not complicated. All the laws and regulations against supernatural beings in this world are made by me. No one wants to be imprisoned, so there must be people who hate me. This kind of hatred not only comes from the legal regulations, but also because they think I am too close to ordinary people, to sell their interests to obtain the help of ordinary people, to consolidate my power position, I am not ideologically opposed to them, but ideologically fundamentally opposed. But you should also be able to see me I also have supporters by my side, and what I am most worried about is that once the situation is irretrievable, both sides will lose out in the fight, and with the ability of supernatural beings, this disastrous consequence may involve more innocent ordinary people."

I really didn't expect the situation to be so complicated. After the principal explained in detail, I realized what he was facing, and said: "Then what you said to me means that you want me not to pass the news that someone assassinated you Let people around you know?"

The principal said: "That's right, this is my purpose. My personal life and death don't matter. It's not hard to find a successor. You should know that once the situation I mentioned appears, the real victims are those who are deceived, the manipulators behind the scenes." There is no need to pay any price. I don't want to be used by others, and I don't want anyone to die because of me."

After listening, I think the principal should be a great person with a great heart, so why did he do so many bad things before?Maybe what he said to me now is a lie, but it's hard to see his intention to deceive me. From the beginning to the end, he just wants me to keep this matter a secret.

I nodded with mixed emotions, not knowing what to say, the principal said: "This is the answer I hope to get, and I hope you can be responsible for your promise."

I thought about it and asked, "What are you trying to do by doing this?"

The principal didn't even think about it: "What I hope most in my life is that people with supernatural powers can live in peace with ordinary people, but I often see people with supernatural abilities using their natural abilities to do many things that endanger the interests and even safety of ordinary people." , and your misunderstanding of us is getting deeper and deeper. The reason why I have to formulate laws and regulations solely for supernatural beings is because the ordinary constitution has little influence on them. Later, I unified the management of supernatural beings, and some It is said that I cultivate slaves, that my place is actually a prison, and the supernatural people who go in are in prison. A small group of extremists use this to attack me and even incite others to deal with me, but I know that what I did is not wrong. "

Speaking of this, the headmaster's expression became complicated and he said: "After receiving the full support of the oldest families of supernatural beings, I started to reform vigorously. But I made a fatal mistake, I considered you too much I didn’t take into account the supernatural person’s side. If I made a mistake, then the series of laws and regulations that were later implemented were indeed unfair to the supernatural person. I’ve been trying to make up for my mistakes in this regard over the years. But Some people don't like to forgive others. They use this to make a big publicity. Many people who don't know the truth are bewitched by them. They are actually very kind to the latter kind of people. I can only say that I also made mistakes. "

I said: "Principal, you are a man of great wisdom. Why do I feel that you are very tired after listening to your words?"

The principal smiled and said: "Thank you for thinking highly of me, but no one is a superman. Although my ability is better than ordinary people, my thinking, including ability to endure, is not much better than ordinary people. Some people with supernatural powers think they are gods. But I know I am not, because I only have the heart of an ordinary person."

I don't know if he said the word "heart" on purpose, but seeing the headmaster's expression showed nothing unusual, I said, "It's not easy to have such an understanding with your ability."

The principal said: "Whether superhumans or ordinary people are human beings, we all belong to the same lineage, and all of them were raised by parents. There should be no quarrel. Going forward for decades or hundreds of years, the industrial revolution has not begun. , No matter how powerful you are, it’s nothing more than two acres of land. At that time, everyone got along very peacefully, but in modern times, all kinds of temptations came one after another. People worry that they are not as good as people with supernatural powers, so they secretly make troubles and artificially create the situation in front of them. I am a person who cannot complain, because I must never fail when I do something, but this also means that there is always someone who will be hurt by me. This kind of life is not easy for anyone, so people like me must be more detached than ordinary people.”

I thought his words were very sincere, so I said, "Principal, I want to ask someone, Kebi, do you know how miserable he is living now?"

The principal said: "I know this person. He is a mutant. The fate of this group is often very tragic. There is a saying to describe them: mutants are sinners cursed by God. Of course, I don't believe in God."

I said, "Then do you know why he wanted to kill you?"

I'm waiting to hear how the headmaster will answer this question. At least I don't think it's a good answer, but the headmaster's answer is very straightforward: "I don't know. He was just used. I won't blame him."

With the words of the principal, all the good impressions established before were destroyed in an instant. How could you deny the subordinates who worked for you in the past so categorically? Your position today is not unrelated to Kebi's efforts. Now that you are compassionate, can't you give this former subordinate even a little help? Even if you pity him, it is better than pretending not to know him. Thinking of this, I finally understand that the principal's previous words were all lies, and his real purpose may not be. It's me, but it's through us who confuse the backbone of the place and the student who knows him best—the leader, and getting close to us is just for the leader to see.

Thinking of this, I feel disgusted with the principal.

The principal said: "Xiao Luo, let's do this first. I hope you can fulfill your promise, especially Head Chen. Don't let him get too involved with me."

After talking with the principal, I was completely disappointed in him, and I was very disgusted with his way of playing tricks, which was too insidious.After the headmaster sent the principal away, he didn't ask me the content of the conversation, but asked: "Luo Zi, why did you go there yesterday? Don't tell me that you were hijacked by Kebi. Zhao Qi's unit has a record of your registration. You It's impossible to bring Kebi in."

My face flushed immediately, but I didn't speak.The head of the group said: "Why, do you have any ulterior secrets?"

I put my heart out and said, "Why didn't you tell me what Zhao Qi told you?"

Head Chen said: "I don't think the incident about Zhao Qi can be related to you, and you had just been rescued at that time, I'm afraid you will have psychological shadows when you recall it."

I said, "Is that the reason?"

The first time I spoke to the head of the group in a questioning tone, it seemed that the head was very surprised. He said: "Luo Zi, aren't you being controlled by someone? Do you doubt me?"

I said: "No one can not be questioned, you know that I have always respected you, head, but you can't defend the principal without principle."

Head Chen was taken aback and said, "What do you mean by that? How can I protect the principal?"

I said: "No matter how great the principal is, he has hurt at least one person. Do you think this can be forgiven?"

Head Chen frowned and said, "I really don't understand. How did the principal offend you and make you have such a big opinion on him? What did you discuss in the room?"

I said, "Not the conversation in the room, but what Cobie told me that night."

Head Chen said: "What matter?"

I felt that it was okay to keep it from the head of the group, so I told the head of the group everything Kebi told me that night.The head of the group didn't speak for a long time after hearing this, and thought for a long time before saying: "Luo Zi, you don't think the headmaster is the one who controls Kebi, do you?"

I said: "I saw the photo of the principal and him with my own eyes, and if it wasn't for the principal, why would Kebi hate the principal so much? He knew he couldn't kill him, but he still wanted to do this thing."

Head Chen said: "Luo Zi, don't just think that I am unprincipled in defending the principal. I can tell you with certainty that the principal has been serving as the principal of the Ability Academy and the director of the Special Intelligence Management Division all along. , it is absolutely impossible to carry out any shitty death plan."

I said, "Can you be sure of this?"

Head Chen said: "I have been in contact with the principal all the time, and I know much more about what work he has done than you."

I said: "In this case, let me ask you a question: how did the group photo come about? This is definitely not an ordinary group photo, otherwise it will not be recorded in the personal file. If the principal has nothing to do with this matter, Zhao Why did Qi want to investigate the principal?"

Head Chen fell silent again, and said after a long time, "It's not that I favor the principal in this matter. Even if he was indeed in charge of that project, what does it mean?"

I said: "Besides, he killed two innocent secret agents and planted them on Kebi. This is a big deal. Killing people is not a trivial matter."

Head Chen said: "Are you so sure that those two people were killed by the principal?"

I said, "Except for the secret agents under the headmaster, who else can escape unscathed after killing someone in that kind of place?"

Head Chen said: "Luo Zi, no matter how much evidence you have, no matter what you see, I want to ask you a question, if someone tells you that your head is a murderer, would you believe it?"

This sentence stopped me, and I shook my head after thinking for a long time.The head of the group said: "The principal treats me like I have the same relationship with you. If you say he is a murderer, I won't believe it, but this matter can't be taken lightly. Let's go to Zhao Qi's now. I want to Ask him personally why he wanted to investigate the principal, as far as I know, these two people should not know each other at all."

After finishing speaking, the head of the group took me downstairs, got into the car and rushed to the hospital. Zhao Qi's injury was not serious, and he didn't hurt an artery. He could be discharged after two days of observation in the hospital. Seeing us coming, he obviously Misunderstanding what I meant, he sighed and said: "Xiao Luo, I didn't expect you to tell Lao Chen about this, but I didn't betray you."

I was about to speak foolishly, but the head of the group secretly gave me a hand, and said first: "Since you have such thoughts, why don't you confess and be lenient?"

There were no outsiders in the ward, so we didn't hide it, Zhao Qi smiled wryly and said: "Kebi's knife made me understand, it's really not human to hold Xiaoxue like this, she should be messed with." Get out. Old Chen, don't say that I am doing illegal activities secretly, this is what your subordinates forced me to do."

Head Chen smiled and said: "Ke Bi is also a hard-working person, you can help if you can, but I still want to ask you one thing, why do you want to investigate the principal?"
