Burning, killing, looting, they call me a saint

"Tsk, that looks like true love."

Seeing that Cheng Che was about to get angry, Zhao Mingda immediately tapped the file about Li Wei with his fingers with a serious expression.

"Back to the point, I suspect that Lin Chunmo, who is suspected to be a member of Green Day, has number 626 as one of his targets. After he was successfully elected as a member of the Upper Sun, he immediately took out the first proposal and gave the people below the lottery tickets to enter the White Tower. Fengzi and number 626 both sneaked into the tower with this lottery ticket!"

Cheng Che stared at the photo of No. 626 in the file when he was just over one year old and said in a cold voice.

"Who can resist such temptation? Those crazy people in the Institute of Biology want to build it."

"Cough cough!"

Zhao Mingda coughed twice to stop Cheng Che from finishing his words. At the same time, he looked around and found no one eavesdropping or other recording or surveillance equipment. Only then did he lower his voice.

“Be careful what you say and do!”

"The scientist leading Project 626 is definitely not a small figure." Cheng Che understood and changed the subject, "Why is there no mention of her in this document?"

Zhao Mingda picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip and then said lightly.

"After her experiment failed, her thinking became a little distorted. She was reprimanded by the Institute of Biology and went to the academy to teach. She hasn't been back for seven or eight years."

"There's nothing much to talk about her. As for this Lin Chunmo, aren't you surprised why I said that No. 626 was just one of his targets?"

Chapter 101 Blood Party

"I have sent the golden thread to the Institute of Physics. They will analyze the regular features on it as soon as possible. As for Lin Chunmo, I followed his life trajectory after coming to the Central Committee, and I actually made some unexpected discoveries in this library."

Zhao Mingda took out a piece of paper from his pocket. It was a book borrowing list, but the name on the list was not Lin Chunmo's.

"He went to the library quite frequently for a while, but he didn't have the qualifications to access some materials. Later, it seemed that he spent money and went through some special channels to help him get the qualifications. It was here that he checked these books!"

Cheng Che frowned and looked at the titles of the books on the list, but he couldn't see anything meaningful from them.

"Are you still keeping me in suspense?"

Zhao Mingda came close to him and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"He's looking for the things that the Blood Gang was looking for!"

Cheng Che's pupils constricted instantly!

"The Blood Party asked for it. Didn't the Council of Counselors announce long ago that the so-called natural fragments were all rumors? Are those who want to return to the land lunatics who want to lead all of humanity to destruction?"

Zhao Mingda stared into Cheng Che's eyes.

"Don't pretend in front of me! We have known each other for such a long time, we already know each other very well and have no secrets from each other. The people you admired the most during your school days were the Blood Clan. Do you believe the bullshit that the Councillors' Cabinet spreads?"

Cheng Che was silent. He was not speechless because of Zhao Mingda's questioning. He was just thinking about what he had done in the Sun since Lin Chunmo was investigating the matter.

"His main target is the Light Stone! It is one of the fragments of the natural law that the Blood Party once found but lost, and that was jointly denied by the Council of Advisors and the Royal Family!"

Zhao Mingda spoke the truth into Cheng Che's ear in a voice that was lowered to the extreme!

Cheng Che's body shuddered, he was obviously frightened by this incident!

But soon, he thought of the file No. 626 and muttered to himself along with Zhao Mingda's words.

"The rule fragments. And the gene of No. 626 is from before the old calendar. This is the culmination of a group of lunatics. If he succeeds..."

"He can kill all of humanity and sacrifice their blood to the green sun!"

The conclusion given by Zhao Mingda caused a long silence between the two.

"I can only say that it's a good thing that No. 626 killed him. From this point of view, the experiments of those crazy people in the Institute of Biology may have some basis. People can really create a savior for themselves."

Hearing his words, Zhao Mingda just spoke calmly.

"But even if No. 626 died in an unclear manner, he still died, and there are tens of thousands of people who can testify for him. The biggest question is, if that light stone is really a fragment of the rules, why can't anyone find it in the furnace? Could such a legendary thing be melted by a temperature of only two or three thousand degrees?"

Cheng Che stared into Zhao Mingda's eyes, his eyes full of warning.

"Do you want to go find it?"

Zhao Mingda didn't say anything at first, he just talked about another thing excitedly.

"The authority that Lin Chunmo spent money to get was still too low. I followed the direction of his investigation and continued to go deeper into the library. At dawn this morning, I made a bigger new discovery! Not only the sun, but also a piece of debris with clues about its direction. It was the 78th president of the academy."

"You are the deputy director of the Institute of Scientific Management and an honorary baron personally granted by the royal family. Yet you took the initiative to touch such a taboo. You should understand the consequences!"

"What are the consequences? What are the taboos?"

Zhao Mingda blinked his eyes with an innocent look on his face.

"As the deputy director of the Discipline and Punishment Institute, I of course fully believe in the public decrees of the cabinet and His Majesty the Emperor. Now I just found some contraband that seems to have been fabricated, and I want to track it down and confiscate it. Who can say anything to me?"

"How did all the Blood Party members die? It's not just your words that count! If you have any action or thought of wanting to see the light of day again, there will be countless big shots who want to tear you apart!"

"Don't you want to know if those fragments are real? Cheng Che!"

Zhao Mingda's harsh questioning made Cheng Che feel a little helpless.

He crossed his fingers, his eyes full of anxiety and irritation. Under Zhao Mingda's aggressive gaze, he finally let out a long sigh.

"I think, more than anyone else. Everyone in this society is in a state of confusion, with no goals for development and no expectations for the future, as if everything is as it should be, and this is how the world is. And the term scientist was not as common on land as it is today, but now it can be used by anyone who has mastered the rules. The academy only teaches knowledge but never mentions morality, as if people should not have constraints."

"The world has been like this since I was born, and everyone lives according to this set of rules. I often feel inexplicably uneasy and guilty. Is human society really supposed to be like this? Those records of human society that have been sealed and burned by the cabinet and the royal family and passed down from the ground period, did those stories about morality, dedication, and sacrifice really exist?"

"I doubt it, but I dare not doubt it. I can only be thankful that I have a good enough background to allow me to have the time and energy to think about these terrible things!"

He raised his head again and looked haggardly into Zhao Mingda's bright eyes.

"But I have a family now, relatives, and students. I am their pillar of support. If anything happens to me, their world will fall apart. So I don't dare to check those things. I'll just live in confusion like this."

Zhao Mingda patted Pa Chengche's shoulder heavily.

"You are not stupid at all, old man! You just have to take on greater responsibilities, and you can't take risks anymore. But I am different. I have been a playboy all my life, and my parents died early. I don't have a family! I don't have so many concerns!"

"I have already written the application. The director has long disliked me. He will definitely report it to the cabinet for approval. I will leave for the academy within a month at the latest!"

Cheng Che had a complicated expression. He was very familiar with this close friend of his.

He is proud and conceited, but he particularly likes adventure and exploration. He is kind-hearted and yearns for the former world on earth. He has never had to worry about food and clothing since he was a child, and has no ties.

Just as the two were talking to this point, suddenly, a large group of people rushed in from outside the library.

They looked very flustered and anxious, as if they had been given some strict orders. After coming in, they went straight to the bookshelves in the atmosphere area and kept looking for something.

Cheng Che and Zhao Mingda no longer had the taboo communication, but listened quietly to the conversations between those people.

Soon, they found out what shocking news had happened.

Zhulan's weather suddenly got rid of the control of the Central Institute of Atmospheric Research last night!

Chapter 102 A Fire

The Central Atmosphere Institute became chaotic.

As for Zhulan's Lanting meeting hall, it can be said that it was in a state of panic.

Even if Qi Zicheng is hated by everyone, he is nominally the first heir after the death of the former chairman and Qi Miaomiao.

But now, the entire Qi family has been killed!

The main line of Qi Zicheng and Qi Miaomiao is completely extinct!

This is something that has never happened since Zhulan was established.

When the sky was just getting light, Lanting gathered all the landlords in 72 seats and held a meeting that was usually held only every quarter.

At the meeting, the nine diehard landlords who were gathered by Pang Ming and had learned that the "young lady" was not dead, and that the murder of Qi Zicheng's family was most likely the result of the "young lady" discovering that there was something else going on with her father's death and carrying out a revenge plan, took the lead in launching the attack.

The spearhead is directed at those reformists who are confused and at a loss about the murder of Qi Zicheng!

"Are you really not even going to pretend? For the sake of so-called reform, you want to make the Qi family extinct! I now suspect that Miss Lian's death was caused by you!"

"This is insane! This is absolutely insane! If there is really no bottom line for the struggle for power and profit, then we can announce the disbandment of Lanting now! We should each organize our own people and start fighting! Whoever wins will be the one that Zhulan listens to in the future!"

Their words made the reformists blush. They wanted to explain, but they didn't know how to refute.

Based on the principle of suspicion that whoever benefits is the mastermind behind the scenes, they are of course the biggest suspects!

The main branch of the Qi family has no descendants. Wouldn't that be more conducive to their reforming the position of Lanting's chairman?

As for the representatives who had always been centrists, who made up the majority of the meeting, saw that the atmosphere of the meeting was becoming increasingly tense, someone quickly stood up and tried to smooth things over.

"Don't jump to conclusions. I believe that we have worked together as colleagues for such a long time and know each other well. We are definitely not capable of committing such a crime against humanity by killing an entire family."

"Every one of us knows what the former chairman did to us. Our ultimate goal is to manage this city well. Disagreement can only be said to be political disagreement, which can be made public. We will never gang up on others and harm the world."

"The first thing we need to do now is not to attack each other, but to catch the murderer first! If we let that murderer named Zhao Wei go unpunished, he can kill Qi Zicheng's family today, and he will certainly be able to break into the homes of any of us tomorrow!"

"Moreover, the people from the Meteorological Bureau have also sent news that there is a big problem with the weather in Zhulan. They can no longer intervene or influence it. They are now in contact with the Central Institute of Atmospheric Research. It is very likely that Zhao Wei has done something! If there is a problem with the weather, it will be a disaster for the entire Zhulan. This year's harvest cannot be guaranteed!"

"Now is the most dangerous moment for Zhulan. All of us here are in danger of life, and Lanting may be overthrown at any time. So we can't let ourselves get into chaos first! Let's put aside the selection of the chairman for now, and catching the murderer is the top priority!"

These centrists temporarily stabilized the atmosphere in Lanting, but some diehards still sneered with disdain.

"How do we choose to put it aside first? Then tell me, now that the young lady is missing and all the people in the main branch of the Qi family are dead, how can the Qi family continue to inherit the position of chairman?"

His words caused everyone in the meeting to fall silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, someone slowly spoke.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

The person who raised the question seemed to have already thought of a plan, and he spoke seriously.

"No matter what, the position of chairman must go to Qi! First, we need to temporarily select a suitable candidate from the branch of the former chairman. Once the murderer is caught and the matter is completely settled, we can discuss other matters!"

This was the proposal they had agreed upon in advance before preparing to attend the meeting.

We must buy enough time for the "Young Lady" and propose a member of the Qi family branch to stabilize Lanting. The reform faction's proposal must not be confirmed before the "Young Lady" shows up.

As long as Lanting still has the momentum to inherit the Qi family, when the "Miss" shows up, the transition can be completed smoothly and the "Miss" can take the position!

As for this murderer named Zhao Wei.

It must be a high-ranking scientist that the "young lady" had won over in the academy. With him as her support, the "young lady" could take revenge so unscrupulously and pave the way for her own promotion.

It's just that Zhao Wei's methods are really too cruel. When the "young lady" takes over the position of chairman, he will have to try to persuade her more. After all, she is an outsider. If he wants to use her in Zhulan, he will have to persuade her more.

Their proposal did not encounter much resistance. The reform faction was originally under suspicion and was reluctant to say more, so the meeting ended there.

And the entire Zhulan also started its big move on this day!

Pang Ming no longer restricted the actions of his men. Police officers from the police department came out in full force to conduct a large-scale search and blockade of Qi Zicheng's manor.

He has now determined that the "Bai Li" who left his name at the crime scene at the same time as Zhao Wei must be the young lady's alias!

In the next two cases, only Zhao Wei's name was left, which meant that the "Miss" had already made up her mind that after she returned to Lanting, she would put the blame of killing the entire family on this murderous Zhao Wei alone.

Only in this way can the voices of some landlords in Lanting and the panic of urban residents be calmed down.

After all, no matter what the reasons and excuses were, killing her cousin's entire family was too horrifying, and the "Miss" could never take the blame on herself!

It was just when the meeting in Lanting had just ended and the news about Qi Zicheng's entire family being killed in the Zhulan Morning Post had just been delivered to the dining tables of every household in the city.

Looking at the completely blocked Qi family manor, Levi and Bai Li came to the Zhulan Archives located under the big ash tree.

"The household registration files of the entire Zhulan are all here, including the indentures of urban residents, Lanting landlords, and farmers in the countryside."

Bai Li was beside Levi and whispered to him.

"Those indentures are like chains that lock the farmers in Zhulan. Many people who were sold here from other cities wanted to escape because they couldn't stand the torture here, but with the indentures, they would be sent back even if they ran back home."

Levi looked at the five-story building, one of the few in Zhulan. People in suits and ties kept coming in and out of it. The police blockade had not yet spread here, resulting in no more defenses here except for daily security.

"It's a fire."

Chapter 103 Go to the Sun!

Levi didn't go through the main door.

It was actually very easy for him to break into an archive like this that was not guarded by scientists.

With his current second-level gravity, it would be difficult for ordinary people to stop him, let alone move a finger while lying on the ground.

But he didn't want to reveal his gravity skills to Zhulan on a large scale.
