Chapter 17 [017] The Husband to be Killed
Chapter 17 [017] The Husband to be Killed
At 7 o'clock in the morning, in District 12 of the inner city, an amusement park has not yet opened.
Sheriff Mu Yue used her A-level resident privileges to enter the park early. She parked the police car at the west exit of the amusement park, not far from the destination, the open space pavilion.
There is a stone table and a stone bench in the middle of the pavilion, and two e-reader-style recorders are placed side by side on the table. These were also borrowed from the company's "Marriage Processing Office" using A-level authority.
As long as Qin Jiandan and himself signed on the two recorders respectively, their marriage could be dissolved, that's what the people at the marriage processing office said.
Han Muyue was still wearing her usual city police uniform, without a short skirt, stockings or high heels, only straight trousers and training shoes, ready for battle.
She only took off her police hat and placed it between two cameras, exposing her long black hair to the morning mist.
"Is this what it's like to wait for a divorce? It's ridiculous. We haven't even gotten married yet."
In exchange for Qin Jiandan's coming to the inner city to get a divorce, the policewoman prepared a CD containing detailed data on the Yelong Society's entry and exit of the inner city over a three-month period.
Naturally, they were all checked when collecting the data. Sheriff Mu Yue had his own ideas about who the traitor was.
Should I tell Qin Jiandan directly? Logically speaking, I am a city policeman and there is no need for me to help violent organizations clean up their mess, but he is the young master of the Night Dragon Society. Giving him a favor will help me investigate cases in the outer city in the future.
But he was so anxious to urge me yesterday, it was really infuriating! He was so anxious to divorce me, was he planning to marry someone else right away?
He came too early and didn't have breakfast, and he also forgot his soda in the police car. The police chief, lacking sugar, covered his chest with one hand, trying to suppress his hunger and resentment.
No, Qin Jiandan’s electronic data shows that she is unmarried, and people from other cities do not need to register with the company when they get married.
Maybe he was forced to divorce me by his wife in the outer city! I seemed to hear other women's voices on the phone yesterday... He was already in a de facto marriage but still flirted with me. It turns out that all the men in the Night Dragon Society are scumbags! Didn't the murdered Watanabe have a wife, but he came to the inner city to meet his lover secretly?
At this time, a man broke through the morning mist and walked towards the pavilion.
Due to long-term exercise, he has a muscular body, with balanced muscles in the upper and lower body. For a man, he has very long legs, so his leg skills must be quite impressive.
When Chief Inspector Mu Yue thought that this man might have a wife, he became very angry.
"Why are you here so late? Is there anything that kept you from getting up?"
The temperature was low in the morning, so Qin Jiandan wore a jacket and put away the small round sunglasses used to hide his identity in his chest pocket.
"I got up quite early. It took me some time to arrange my sister's affairs and the city inspection."
Qin Jiandan said this and sat on the stone bench next to the policewoman. He glanced at the recorder on the stone table.
"Wow, you can even borrow the recorder from the marriage processing office. You're so powerful, Sheriff! But is it really okay to sign the divorce agreement in such a fun place like an amusement park?"
Qin Jiandan was in a casual posture, as if this was his own living room. He picked up the recorder in one hand and rested his other arm on the stone table.
Chief Inspector Mu Yue said sternly, "I have my own considerations. This open space in the amusement park is likely the place where the traitors in your organization and the Nian Society secretly meet. As a city police officer, I have to pay close attention to the activities of violent organizations. It would be best if I could create an opportunity to catch you all in one fell swoop in the future."
Qin Jiandan became interested: "You seem to mean... you even know who the traitor in the Yelong Society is? Tell me quickly!"
"Why should I be so kind? My deal with you only involves providing data."
The policewoman deliberately avoided looking at Qin Jiandan, but stared at the morning mist that filled the open space.
"You want a bribe, right?" Qin Jiandan raised his eyebrows. "No problem. My 'Bio Intelligence Team' also likes to bribe the city police. Do you want me to buy you clothes worth tens of thousands of dollars?"
The policewoman's eyes flashed with anger: "Don't compare me with the scum in the team! You bribed the city police in person, I can arrest you for this crime right now!"
Qin Jiandan, who had already guessed that the police chief would not accept bribes, smiled with relief instead.
"What are the conditions? You can name them as long as I can do it."
Sheriff Mu Yue hesitated.
"…You live with your sister? Is that really your sister?"
This is not a very easy question to answer. From a DNA point of view, she is not a real sister, but from an emotional point of view, the relationship between siblings who grew up eating garbage together is definitely true. However, there is no need to explain this matter in detail to the policewoman.
"It's really my sister. She was there when I called you yesterday. She's 15 years old. I forgot to bring her some buns from the inner city, and she was a little mad at me."
The policewoman recalled the phone call yesterday, and the faint laughter of the girl in it did sound rather childish.
"Humph, you only promised to bring buns to your sister, but not to bring something back for your wife?"
"Huh? Aren't you my wife?" After a brief moment of confusion, Qin Jiandan realized, "You didn't mistakenly think that I have another wife in the outer city, did you?"
"Don't be ridiculous! You are my only wife! And she will be gone soon!"
There was no one around, and Qin Jiandan kept calling "Wife" and "Wife". Although the policewoman felt her face burning, she did not stop him.
For some reason, I feel much better than before.
Although divorce is still necessary.
"Once you sign the agreement with me, I will tell you who the traitor is."
Chief Inspector Mu Yue picked up his own video recorder indifferently and looked at it like a case report. Qin Jiandan also looked at the video recorder reluctantly, and saw many Chinese characters densely written on the screen.
At the top it says "Application Form for Divorce by Agreement", and below the already filled-in name and resident number are a series of multiple-choice questions.
"Is the divorce voluntary? Yes."
"Whether there are any children of the marriage - no."
After selecting "No", questions such as "Child custody after divorce" will automatically disappear.
“Is there any undivided marital property – no.”
“Are there any joint debts between the couple – no.”
Next to the questions about property and debts, there is a warning in small print: "Those who use marriage as a means to deceive the company for profit will be deprived of their inner city resident status, all property will be confiscated, and they may even be put to death."
The application form finally scrolled to the bottom, where the signature needed to be handwritten. Qin Jiandan saw the policewoman take off the stylus on the side of the recorder and sign her name neatly.
"What a cold-blooded woman..." Qin Jiandan clicked his tongue, "Don't you want to be a little more nostalgic about our previous happy life?"
"Sign quickly!" the policewoman urged. After she signed, she felt a huge weight lifted off her chest. She even folded her left leg over her right leg, sitting in a rather proud posture.
The other party signed neatly and swiftly. As the young master of the Yelong Society, Qin Jiandan couldn't be too fussy. He made up his mind, took off the stylus and signed his name.
It was so sloppy that the system failed to recognize it and issued a prompt tone:
"Beep - Applicant, please rewrite your signature. Warning: Those who sign on behalf of others or forge signatures will be identified by the company's technology and will be deprived of their inner city resident status, have all their property confiscated, or even executed."
Qin Jiandan didn't often come into contact with the company's paperless office, so he was slightly startled by the sound of the recorder.
My wife seemed to be trying to hold back her laughter! Is it so funny to be unfamiliar with the recording machine? Damn! The signature pen is so bad, it must be a defective product made with shoddy workmanship!
In order to avoid being publicly ridiculed, Qin Jiandan clenched the stylus and signed the three words "Qin Jiandan" on the recorder again.
It’s a pity that my short marriage life has gone with the wind…
“Then press Submit here!”
After Chief Inspector Mu Yue submitted his application form, he rushed to press the "Submit" button for Qin Jiandan.
The two scanners established encrypted communication and began to remotely connect to the company's database. A large radar scanning progress bar was simultaneously displayed on the screen.
"It will be over in just a few minutes!" the sheriff concluded, then placed the recorder flat on the stone table.
Qin Jiandan had no choice but to place the recorders side by side. The two recorders seemed like a marriage certificate that was about to be destroyed, leaning against each other sadly.
Having resolved a big worry, Sheriff Mu Yue took a deep breath to avoid being too excited and showing his joy on his face.
"Okay, since you kept your promise, I will also tell you who is the most suspected traitor in the Night Dragon Society."
Qin Jiandan seemed a little depressed and was not as interested in the traitor as before.
"I also did a brief investigation on the four major cadres of your Night Dragon Society when I was sorting out the data. Zhu Shengzhi, Jiang Chouyun, and Zhao Huoqian have all been to the inner city in the past three months. Among them, Zhu Shengzhi and Zhao Huoqian have both been to this amusement park."
Qin Jiandan forced himself to cheer up. Whether as a brother or as the young master of the Yelong Society, he had other responsibilities.
"Zhu Shengzhi and Zhao Huoqian, who is the traitor?"
Chief Inspector Mu Yue asked back, "Didn't you consider Watanabe Jiro?"
Qin Jiandan was completely confused: "Watanabe is the victim of the traitor incident! He is dead! Can you please leave the body in your police department!"
The policewoman shook her finger a little proudly: "You always focus on the four major cadres themselves, but never look at the people around them? I checked, Watanabe's wife is also a member of the Night Dragon Society, the Falling Cherry Blossom Group, right? And her status is not low?"
Qin Jiandan frowned: "I have met Du Bian's wife a few times. She is fat and has a bad personality. It seems that they got married at the behest of their parents. If it were me, I would have cheated too."
The policewoman closed her eyes slightly and looked at Qin Jiandan with an intriguing look, with murderous intent in her eyes:
"So, the biggest suspect is not the three cadres mentioned above, but the wife of the fourth cadre, Watanabe! Because if the husband cheats, isn't it normal for the wife to want to kill him?"
Qin Jiandan was sweating profusely.
You just publicly announced your "husband-killing declaration," right? You are a city police officer, but you are always ready to turn into a murderer. What a desecration of public office! Fortunately, I divorced you, otherwise I would have died in your hands one day.
After all, when I asked my master whether the "Steel Armor Breathing Method" required me to remain a virgin, my master also said: It is best not to get close to women. Blind indulgence will eventually lead to breathing disorders, and the happiest time is also the easiest time to be assassinated.
So, after we got married, when the sheriff was riding on me, if she suddenly took out a revolver and shot me in the temple, it would probably hit me dead!
Chief Inspector Mu Yue was unaware of the man's delusion. Just as she was in a good mood and wanted to continue discussing who the traitor was, the two recorders on the table rang at the same time.
"Beep——"Divorce by Agreement Application Form" submission failed!"
