Chapter 3 [003] The policewoman stays awake at night
At nine o'clock in the evening, Qin Jiandan took an armored bus to enter the inner city. He didn't even need to get off the bus when passing the checkpoint. Seeing other people entering the city raise their hands high under the threat of the spider chariot, he felt a sense of superiority in his heart.

"Having a Class B Resident Permit is really convenient. It seems my sister is really amazing!"

However, Linlin's claim of hacking into the inner city's patrol drones to keep her under surveillance was most likely a lie - the closer you get to the central tower of Ringstone City, the more aggressive the wireless network's offensive firewall becomes.

There were only a few passengers on the armored bus. Qin Jiandan looked through the bulletproof glass window and saw the towering central tower supporting the "Mingguang Sky Dome" in the distance.

The planet where Ringstone City is located has naturally breathable air for humans, but due to the presence of a unique mineral called "phlogiston coal", toxic particles called "phlogiston ash" often float in the air. To make an analogy, it is roughly equivalent to the PM2.5 smog of the Earth era, but the toxicity is increased by 100 times.

The "Skylight Curtain" developed by Central Tower Corporation is the lifeblood of Ringstone City. This protective shield that flickers in the air will neutralize the toxic phlogiston ash to the greatest extent possible.

Of course, the inner city is closer to the central tower and is more protected than the outer city.

"Speaking of which, could the reason why Master got lung cancer be related to the fact that he has always lived in the outer city?"

It is rumored that Qin Qi, the president of the Night Dragon Society, once left Ringstone City and explored the dark desert alone without the protection of the light. This kind of suicidal behavior is unthinkable for ordinary people. Unless they are in debt and forced by the company to mine for pyrolysis coal, no one is willing to take the initiative to leave the range of the light and leave the large meteorite crater where Ringstone City is located.

Although "phlogiston coal" produces toxins when used, it is generally a super energy source. Whether it is Linlin's surveillance computer or the armored bus under her seat, they are all powered by phlogiston energy batteries.

Of course, it also includes a large cruising airship with flashing neon lights against the backdrop of the Central Tower and the starless night sky.

In addition to the uncomfortable oversized slogan "Loyal to the company", the high-altitude airship repeatedly plays a rigid male electronic voice:
"...Please cooperate sincerely and work for the company in exchange for a better tomorrow for Ringstone City. Warning: If you are evaluated as not generating benefits for the company for 30 consecutive days, your status as an inner city resident will be revoked. Please pay attention."

Linlin mentioned that every hour, a resident was promoted to A-level license. The reason for this was that every hour, a resident was demoted to D-level and expelled from the inner city. This was a normal metabolism for Ringstone City.

There was still more than 10 minutes' drive to the destination. Qin Jiandan, feeling bored, picked up a magazine discarded by someone beside his seat and started flipping through it casually.

The biological technology of Ringstone City has made great breakthroughs compared to the Earth era. For example, the "regeneration cabin" can quickly heal even broken limbs as long as you have money. However, digital technology has regressed, or the company has deliberately monopolized advanced digital technology, making everyone become the 80s version of Earth without even mobile phones.

The magazine in his hand, which had decent printing quality, was called Crime Fighter, a popular publication with loyal readers in both the inner and outer suburbs.

"Yelonghui cadre Watanabe Jiro died tragically. He was assassinated while meeting his lover in the inner city!"

The magazine was obviously well-informed. The murder that happened just last night had a news headline full of complaints in less than half a day.

The content of the news was similar to the intelligence within the organization that Qin Jiandan knew, which made him suspect that Crime Fighter also had spies in the Yelong Society.

There was a photo of the scene that Qin Jiandan had never seen before. In the photo, Watanabe Jiro was lying face down on the carpet with a bloody mess on his head, but Qin Jiandan could see that the bloody hole on his back was the fatal wound.

On the wall nearby, written in the victim's blood were the words "Everyone in the Night Dragon Society must die! You deserve to have your heads scalped off like the Indians!"

"So Watanabe was insulted after his death and his scalp was cut off as a souvenir?"

Qin Jiandan's canine teeth on his upper and lower jaws clenched together.

"That's very much the style of the Nian Society... Although Watanabe and I don't have a personal relationship, insulting the Night Dragon Society is insulting my master. I am now entrusted with the mission of being the young master and I cannot ignore it. I will definitely make the Nian Society pay the corresponding price!"

The current president of the Neanderthals is named Alexander, a racist maniac who believes himself to be the reincarnation of Alexander the Great.

The full name of the Neanderthal Society is "Neanderthal Society". According to Dr. Li of the Night Dragon Society, the founder of the Neanderthal Society misunderstood the evolutionary theory of the Earth Age, thinking that Westerners were different from Easterners and that they did not evolve from "Homo sapiens" but from "Neanderthals" of the same period.

In short, in the eyes of the founders, Westerners are superior to Easterners, so Neanderthals must be superior to Homo sapiens. The "Neanderthals" are the superior races that inherited the Neanderthal genes, and their innate mission is to kill all the Eastern descendants of Homo sapiens.

They did intend to do so. In the "Wumen War" 20 years ago, the Nian Society stole the company's genetic weapons and spread them. Fortunately, they were stopped by the Night Dragon Society led by Qin Qi. But the genetic weapons are still partially effective. There are no black people in Huanshi City today because they were exterminated by the Nian Society in that war.

Therefore, some people jokingly call the Nean Society the "Neco Sabbath Society"...

The report on "Watanabe Jiro's Tragic Death" was very long. Qin Jiandan turned a page and saw the description at the end:

"A woman's body was found not far away. After investigation, she turned out to be Marianna, the lover whom Jiro Watanabe had secretly met. Judging from the traces at the scene, Jiro Watanabe might have been injured before the battle in order to protect his lover, but the two were eventually killed inhumanely by the murderer..."

Judging from the crime photos, Watanabe was killed without even drawing the sword at his waist, which does not match the strength that a militant cadre of the Yalong Society should have.

"Watanabe's specialty, 'Electronic Iai Slash', is a quick sword-drawing technique! The assassin from the Nian Society probably took advantage of Watanabe's desire to protect his lover and injured Watanabe's right hand first, right?"

Despicable guy! If I catch you, I will make you suffer 100 times the pain that Watanabe suffered! "Wait a minute... Before I left, Linlin told me not to look for women in the inner city. Could it be that she was also affected by Watanabe's incident and was worried that I would be killed for protecting my lover?"

"Hahaha, how is that possible! The 'Steel Armor Breathing Technique' that Master taught me is invincible! And why would I risk my life for that coquettish bitch from the inner city?"

As we were talking, on the right side of the news about "Watanabe's tragic death", a large photo that took up half of the page was hard to ignore. In the photo, there was a valiant female police officer with long black straight hair down to her waist, wearing a neat police uniform and police hat, and she seemed to be receiving a commendation from the National Police Agency.

The multiple news headlines next to it are "Graduated from the special training base with excellent results, the daughter follows in her father's footsteps", "Careful and thoughtful, successively solved 6 inner city unsolved cases", "The youngest police captain in history, Mu Yue, who is in charge of the security of the 12th district of the inner city"

The city police are the company's lackeys and the enemies of the Night Dragon Society. Brother Huchi was imprisoned for five years because he was mistakenly accused of robbery when he asked for directions.

Although the policewoman in the photo is very beautiful and her bust under the uniform is very prominent, Qin Jiandan, as an out-of-towner with a resident level of D, cannot possibly have any good feelings towards the inner-city police chief.

"Humph, a pampered young lady who came from nowhere is actually trying to play house by being a sheriff?"

Qin Jiandan tapped the photo of the female police officer in the magazine with his finger to show his contempt.

"In charge of the security of District 12? That's exactly where I'm going to be tonight... Don't interfere with my investigation tonight, or you'll be dead if I touch you with just a little muscle!"

Ah, the spot he poked to show his contempt was exactly where the policewoman's chest should be. This must be a coincidence! It definitely had nothing to do with Qin Jiandan being a virgin!
※※※

Just now at the internal cocktail party of the Police Department, Han Muyue was announced to be promoted to Special Service Chief of District 12, and his resident level was also upgraded to A-level.

After leaving the cocktail party, she still felt unreal, so she parked the police car on the side of the road and walked alone towards the deserted riverside house.

The title of "12th District Special Service Sergeant" is not as impressive as it sounds. The inner city is divided into 12 sectors, each with a permanent police chief and a special service police chief, who are responsible for daily police dispatch and special case investigations.

The special police chief has less power than the permanent police chief, and is often involved in dangerous cases, with a high death rate. From this perspective, there is nothing to celebrate about becoming a special police chief at such a young age.

"As long as I can solve the case, it's fine. I didn't become a city police officer to get ahead anyway..."

Because he was not used to the social atmosphere of a cocktail party, Chief Inspector Mu Yue asked two close friends to receive his colleagues and he drove away from the police department early.

I still remember how troublesome the Chief of Police’s long speech and “earnest expectations” were at the cocktail party. Even the little bit of red wine that I was not allowed to drink out of courtesy caused my usually calm brain to send out waves of protests.

"I don't think I was driving under the influence just now... It's not good to break the law right after being promoted to police chief. But even if I go back to the police station and turn myself in, everyone will be busy drinking and no one will pay attention to me."

He left the party in a hurry and didn't have time to change out of his police uniform.

Although the main color is dark blue, the jacket is looser than the usual duty uniform, and there is a beautiful golden tassel ribbon next to the decorative pocket on the chest. As for the bottom, instead of wearing trousers and training shoes that are convenient for running, it is a charming combination of a short skirt, black stockings and high heels.

This kind of attire is definitely not suitable for chasing fugitives, but it is too early to go back to the dormitory.

Coming to the crime scene to listen to witness statements is a good idea to make full use of time.

"Hello, I'm Han Muyue, the special duty officer of District 12. I'd like to ask about the murder that happened next door."

After ringing the doorbell, Inspector Mu Yue showed a police smile to the old lady with glasses who came out to open the door, hoping to lower her guard.

"Do you have anything to add about the victim, Jiro Watanabe, and your neighbor, Ms. Marianna, who was also a victim? Did you see any suspicious people around before and after the murder?"

Seeing the old lady's slow reaction, Sheriff Mu Yue remembered that he had forgotten something very important.

"No, sorry. This is my ID. Please take a closer look."

I actually forgot that I have to show my ID before I can collect evidence. I'm not used to drinking...

The originally calm old lady started to tremble all over and her tone became excited after she saw the photo of the female police officer on the ID after taking it.

"Yes! Yes! It's her! This girl appeared nearby after the murder! But... I can't remember when she appeared!"

Grandma, didn't I just appear and stand in front of you? It seems that the authenticity of all the testimony provided by this witness is questionable...
