 Chapter 836 New Goal

"I'm back!"

Kujigawa Rise opened the door happily, raised her hand to say hello, and Duanmu Ai and Lumière also nodded to her.

 “You’re back? How was your work today?”

"Very smooth!"

　　　Kujigawa Rise was smiling and very happy. It has been about a week since she moved to the office. For Kujigawa Rise, she has been enjoying herself this week. She feels so comfortable living here that she doesn't want to go back. Of course, in terms of luxury, Duanmu Ai's office is definitely not comparable to a celebrity apartment, but for Kujigawa Rise, she likes the lively feeling of having people at home. Instead of like before, even if I dragged my tired body back to the room, I would only be greeted by a cold, empty room.

 “As long as everything goes well...”

Looking at Kujigawa Rise's expression, Duanmu Ai said nothing on the surface, but sighed inwardly. Everything went well on Rishi's side, but things didn't go well on Duanmu Ai and Lumiere's side at all. The Phantom Thieves who were used as bait exploded inexplicably, and the murderer who tried to kill Riyo disappeared. The only clue now is the high-ranking government official who took away the cognitive science research - but the other party was obviously very cautious and did not show any clues. .

Even the trip to the TV station was in vain. Duanmu Ai almost searched the TV station with electronic demon. Except for discovering some ulterior secrets of the TV station's top executives, there was nothing he wanted. turn up.

Duanmu Ai also called Dot and learned that the case of the Phantom Thieves had been put aside. As for the serial murder case, no useful clues had been found so far, so he planned to gradually start to reduce the investment. ——There is no way around it. Reality is not a game. It does not mean that the main mission will not move when you do side missions.

The same goes for the police. It doesn’t mean that the nature of the case is bad. The other criminals just stay there obediently and wait until they solve the case before taking action. If they are so obedient, they are no longer criminals.

 So even if no clues were found in the short period of investigation, we had to shift our efforts to the investigation of other cases.

Of course, if it doesn’t work out, Duanmu Ai has one last solution.

 Then just wait and see.

Anyway, these guys are making trouble with cognitive science, and they will definitely get into subspace in the end. The series in front of her is just a prelude. If she really can't find any useful clues, she will continue to fish for fish. Just wait until the other party takes action.

Of course, this is only because Duanmu Ai has enough strength to do this. The general orthodox route of this kind of plot is that if the BOSS's conspiracy is not stopped, then the BOSS will appear as an unmatched powerful presence in the end. Therefore, the protagonists need to weaken or even destroy the BOSS's conspiracy along the way.

 But... no one said it must be stipulated that only the BOSS's magical power can make him invincible?

You are Dongfang Bubai, who has mastered the magic skills practiced at Heimu Cliff. When you go out to face the immortal, are you going to be crushed to death by one of his fingers?

Even if you are walking sideways in the martial arts world, it does not mean that you can walk sideways in the world of cultivation.

In Duanmu Ai’s eyes, the final BOSS of this world is the Dongfang Bubai who is in retreat at Heimu Cliff. Regardless of whether it leaves the mountain early or successfully retreats, it will die when it comes out...

 It’s just that I’m still a little unwilling to do so. Doesn’t this mean that my IQ is not as good as it’s, so I let it run free all the time?

Although Duanmu Ai really doesn’t like to use his brain very much and is good at it.

 “What’s for dinner today? Huh? Curry again?”

 “Isn’t it great?”

 “Curry is delicious, but you should change the taste once in a while.”

 “I don’t care...”

 “Then it’s settled.”

Hearing Duanmu Ai nod, Kujigawa Rise raised his hands happily.

“Why don’t you leave dinner to me? Don’t look at me like this. I also got my training on food cooking shows. Every morning on the Xiaolishi Kitchen show, I have produced good results.”

 “That’s what I say, but do you have time?”

As Duanmu Ai spoke, he raised his head and looked at his watch. Rishi was the last to come back among the three of them. She had to wait until eleven or twelve o'clock to get home from get off work. Waiting for her to come back would not be called dinner. , that’s called eating midnight snacks...

 “Uh…I’ll do it during my vacation.”

 “It depends on when you have time to take a vacation.”

 “Well…”

I have to say that after that performance, Kujigawa Rise became famous and participated in many programs one after another. At least in a short period of time, she would not have any time to spare.

 “Hey... I hope I can take a vacation sometime.”

While stretching, Kujigawa Rise sat on the sofa, then picked up the remote control and turned up the station at will. At this moment, a voice came from the TV.

"Fellow citizens, I think you must be very scared. Everything that has happened during this period is because of the current government's unfavorable governance! The murder cases that have not been detected, the bullying and criminal behavior that have not been detected, these are all It’s the responsibility of the government’s poor governance!” ˆ ˆ ˆ “Who is this guy?”

Perhaps because he heard the other party mention the serial murder case, Duanmu Ai glanced at the TV and saw a bald man wearing sunglasses standing on the podium, shouting.

"As a member of the people, I feel very angry at this moment. What is a real politician? Acting only for personal gain without considering national affairs is simply ridiculous! I...will overthrow the corrupt current regime, Bringing a new and better era! Please vote for me and the Future Alliance!"

 “Another boring politician.”

“Shitong Zhengyi, I often hear people talking about him on the TV station.”

 At this moment, Rishi also started talking.

 “Oh? How do you say it?”

"It is said that he is one of the few politicians who dares to fight against the current regime. He is very popular among young people. After all, various things have happened during this period, right? For example, the bullying incident at Xiujin High School , as well as Teacher Madarame’s plagiarism exposure, and serial murder cases. In these incidents, the police did almost nothing, and many people were dissatisfied and complained about this..."

As he spoke, Rishi also sighed.

“At least I heard that everyone thinks that Councilor Shitong will win the next election, and the staff around me have said that they will vote for him.”

 “That’s it…by the way, what do the people think of him?”

"Ugh... As you can see now, according to interviews on the TV station, most people also think that Representative Shitong will bring a different atmosphere. Now many people are very dissatisfied with the current government because so many things have happened. , but almost all of them are responsible, and the previous subway crash was also caused by the negligence of the relevant departments in maintenance. Therefore, everyone hopes that an election can be held as soon as possible to elect a new leader."

 “Oh? So what do you think of this man?”

"Me? I can't say... I think what he said is right, but to be honest, I always feel that this person is not a good person."

 Speaking of this, Kujigawa Rise frowned.

"Why do you say that?"

"Ugh... It's just a little bias on my part. I once participated in an event in a hotel, and when I was about to enter the elevator, this man walked over with two of his subordinates and pushed me directly. I stood aside, and then got on the elevator in an arrogant manner, without even looking at me from beginning to end. I don’t believe what such a person said about the country’s future and what he said he would do for the people.”

Rishi curled her lips. It was obvious that she was quite dissatisfied with the other party's rude and impolite behavior at that time. But unfortunately, as an idol, she cannot criticize such politicians at will, so she can only suffer the loss of being dumb.

Hearing this, Duanmu Ai's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a cold light. In this era, because of the need to rebuild the relationship between human civilization, the systems adopted by various places are different, and some like this city choose to adopt this method of universal election... Of course, this is not important, the important thing is... …

 “Lumi El, investigate this guy.”

Duanmu Ai whispered the order to Lumiare. Upon hearing Duanmuai's order, Lumiare was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted.

 “You think it’s him?”

“The beneficiary is the murderer. Isn’t this normal reasoning?”

It was only after Duanmu Ai heard Kujigawa Rise's complaint that he realized that, indeed, from the perspective of ordinary homicide investigations, the other party's murder was illogical, and it seemed to have no connection at the moment. But Rishi's words gave Duanmu Ai a new perspective. After all, whether it was the Phantom Thieves or the serial murders, once these things were exposed, it would naturally damage the prestige and reputation of the current government.

At this time, if someone can stand up and show his courage to fight, it will naturally be easy to win the favor of the people.

Not to mention, according to the previous investigation results of Lumière, the research on cognitive science was taken away by relevant government personnel, and now this man happens to be a high-ranking politician...

 Not only does he have enough ability, but he also has enough motivation to benefit from it.

Moreover, from this perspective, his attempt to kill Kujigawa Rise is understandable.

Rise Kujigawa is currently the most popular idol singer. Once she also dies in a serial murder incident, the pressure from public opinion will be enough to make the police chief resign and apologize. At the same time, it will also make more people dissatisfied with the current government and vote for him in the election.

As for the question of whether he would do this, Duanmu Ai didn't consider it at all - just kidding, this group of politicians can't do anything for the sake of the election.

 At least it seems now...this guy is indeed a target.

Staring at the lion boy Zhengyi who was giving an impassioned speech on the TV, Duanmu Ai showed a proud smile.

Maybe this time, I’ll find the right one?
