In the name of supernatural powers

Chapter 95 Interrogation of Liu Zhihui

July 9th, Nanhai East Road, Liu Mansion.

Liu Hanwen woke up before dawn. As always, his secretary brought in a basin of water. After he finished washing up, had breakfast, and rested for half an hour, his secretary reported on his work.

“Last night at 10 p.m., a group of thugs kidnapped a tainted witness. City Enforcement Officer Zhao De arrived and killed the thugs, and also reported that the witness’s secretary was colluding with foreign enemies.”

Have any of our comrades been injured or killed?

"There isn't a single person."

"It was still decent enough that the rules weren't broken."

Liu Hanwen nodded with satisfaction: "Zhao De was seriously negligent and has been given a demerit. He will not be eligible for promotion for two years."

Anyone with eyes can see what's going on, but as long as it follows the rules, people won't be too critical. There's no such thing as a flawless scheme; it's just a matter of whether or not a flaw is left.

Zhao De knew his limits; since no official personnel were injured or killed, there was no need to pursue the matter further.

It doesn't sound good if word gets out that a city official has defected.

He has successfully dealt with a major source of funding for the Chen faction without creating a power vacuum in the local area, which is commendable.

Liu Hanwen thought of Lu Zhao and specifically instructed, "Lu Zhao did a good job in this case. Afterwards, tell Xiao Liang to promote him to the Chief of Public Security. This young man has ideals and abilities and is worth cultivating."

The secretary said, "I may not be able to help with this issue."

Liu Hanwen frowned slightly and asked, "What has the Chen family done this time?"

It didn't matter if he hadn't noticed it before; there were so many injustices in the world, and Liu Hanwen didn't think he could handle them all. But now that Lu Zhao had jumped in front of him and even helped him, it would be a bit much for Chen Yunming to continue bullying a young man with no background.

The secretary said, "It wasn't the Chen family, but rather around midnight, the young lady asked me for a talent introduction quota, saying she wanted to give it to Lu Zhao."

"That girl acted quickly." Liu Hanwen's brows relaxed, and he changed the subject, asking, "How's the matter of the Ming Dynasty prince's demonic corpse going?"

The secretary shook his head: "We still can't find any trace of it. The demon corpse is not human, or even a living being. We can only wait for it to show itself."

Modern classifications of living beings include three types: normal living beings, ancient god-like beings, and demons.

Normal organisms need no further explanation.

Ancient God creatures are creatures that have mutated due to the influence of the power of the ancient gods, and they live in a special biosphere influenced by the power of the ancient gods.

Although these creatures possess a certain level of extraordinary power, they, like superhumans, still need to eat, drink, and excrete, and follow reproductive patterns, including birth, aging, illness, and death.

All abnormal creatures are called demons. They have no need to eat, no ability to reproduce, and no fixed form.

Some say they are great supernatural beings with life, others call them the embryos of great supernatural beings, or even the embers of a dynasty's spirit.

The ancient god ecosystem is the embodiment of the dynasty's body, and the eerie is its spirit.

There have been countless explanations for ancient gods, demons, supernatural powers, and so on, yet there is still no definitive answer.

But without exception, they all possess extraordinary power.

"It's always a potential problem. Recently, the South China Sea Beast Cave has been causing trouble again, so Chen Yunming and I can't leave Cangwu at will."

Liu Hanwen rubbed his temples and asked, "What did the Martial Virtue Hall say?"

The secretary replied, "The Wude Hall can't send anyone either. There's a war going on in the Central and Southern Circuit, and there's a rebellion in Tibet. The expeditionary force hasn't returned yet because of the oil fields in the frozen soil of Beishan."

"And here in our area, the South China Sea Caves may be about to erupt as well."

Just hearing Liu Hanwen's name gives me a headache.

The Federation is always busy throughout the year; there's war here today, rebellion there tomorrow, and famine the day after.

He said, "Go and inform Chen Yunming later, and have him go to Hejiang Island to garrison for a period of time to monitor the movements of the water cave."

Although the two had just fought, they were still federal military commanders, and they could not be ambiguous when it came to important matters.

"Yes."
-
Eight in the morning.

Lu Zhao and Lin Zhiyan received a bowl of raw rice noodles, a specialty of the South China Sea West Road, from the cooking squad.

Wide rice noodle dishes made with pork offal as the broth base.

Miss Lin was clearly not used to it and took the pig intestines out of the bowl.

Lu Zhao was displeased with this waste of food and said, "If you're not going to eat it, don't waste it."

"Here, have some."

Lin Zhiyan then tried to put the large intestine into Lu Zhao's bowl, but stopped him with her chopsticks, saying with some disgust, "I don't want to eat your saliva." Lin Zhiyan flew into a rage: "I haven't eaten a single bite."

"You can't put that in my bowl."

Lu Zhao moved the bowl away, refusing to eat no matter what.

There are only zero times and countless times when things happen. If I make myself eat leftovers today, I don't even dare to think about what I'll have to do tomorrow.

All eyes turned to them, and the two were given ambiguous looks. A group of single men were incredibly envious.

Lin Zhiyan possesses exceptional qualities in every aspect, belonging to the type most people dream of. Especially within the Federation, power is like a giant halo, and people are like moths drawn to it.

Everyone could see the power of Team Leader Lin; any leader would have to greet him with a smile, except for Lu Zhao, who didn't give in.

However, the crowd didn't feel much jealousy.

Jealousy stemmed from their own substitutability; no one in the border post company felt they could replace Lu Zhao.

Noticing the gazes around him, Lin Zhiyan immediately straightened his posture and buried his head in his rice noodles.

But the pig offal should still be thrown away.

Lu Zhao sternly condemned this waste of food.

But it was no use. Just as Lin Zhiyan couldn't call him, he naturally couldn't call the other party either.

Before I had even finished breakfast, a Jeep with official license plates pulled up in front of the door.

Xu Zhenhua escorted Secretary Liu out of the car, and after a brief conversation with the guards, led them into the police station.

Upon receiving the report, Lu Zhao immediately put down his chopsticks and went to the hall.

The two groups bumped into each other.

"Good morning, Team Leader Lin."

Xu Zhenhua greeted him warmly; even someone as oblivious as him knew who the boss was.

Upon seeing Lu Zhao, Liu Zhihui immediately broke free from the escorts and pounced on Lu Zhao's thigh.

"Commander Lu, save me! I'm innocent! This was all a setup by Zhao De! You have to save me, waaaaah..."

Lu Zhao looked down at Liu Zhihui, whose nose was running and whose eyes were about to burst with tears.

His black formal attire was disheveled, his greasy hair and grime clearly indicated he hadn't washed up, and he seemed to be gripped by extreme fear and confusion.

It's hard to imagine that just ten days ago, when we first met, he still acted like a social elite.

"Before leaving the border post, everyone was arrogant and wanted to teach me how to conduct myself, but when they fell from grace, they all knelt and begged me."

Lu Zhaolu felt something.

Lin Zhiyan took a step back and said, "It smells awful. Didn't you shower last night?"

Lu Zhao glanced sideways, suspecting the other person was implying something about him; he hadn't showered last night either.

Only by developing one's life to the fourth level of transcendence can one possess an effect similar to that of an immaculate body.

"Let's go to the interrogation room first. We can talk about it after the recorder is turned on."

They arrived at the interrogation room, a space of less than ten square meters, where they overturned the entire leadership of the city's defense department.

Liu Zhihui sat in the interrogation chair, and Lu Zhao, Lin Zhiyan, and Xu Zhenhua interrogated him together.

Lin Zhiyan began to inquire about the case, the details of which were similar to those that Lu Zhao had compiled over this period, but were more comprehensive.

With resentment in his eyes, Liu Zhihui said, "I'm going to report Zhao De, the city's chief executive officer. He's the real culprit behind the smuggling case!"

Talking about this now won't cause any stir.

Lu Zhao wrote down every single word, and Lin Zhiyan glanced at it, not expecting the other party to be flexible.

We'll be spending a long time together in the future, so getting to know each other is necessary.

Compared to his initial indifference and wariness, Lu Zhao had begun to make concessions to her, something Lin Zhiyan could sense.

Conversely, one must also get used to Lu Zhao's way of doing things.

There's a saying that long-lasting companionship begins with tolerance, and compatibility is achieved through compromise.
