Chapter 35 Turning Point
"I understand. I'm going back to my home now. If you have anything else to say, wait until I get there."
During dinner time, Xie Ying put down the phone with a livid face. He had originally thought of giving Lan Mengqi a spoon-fed education no matter what, but now it seemed that was no longer possible.
He walked directly to the middle of the living room, ignoring "Ah, I want to watch cartoons" from a certain rabbit, and turned the old color TV to the news channel.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a statement, saying that we sincerely regret the murder of Attaché Djovut, but seriously refuted the groundless accusations made by Artefang. We also pointed out again that the diplomat appeared in the city without permission.
The sensitive area in the city itself is a diplomatic failure, and we seriously question the reason for his appearance in the unauthorized area."
It's still the same news program as last time, and it's still the same anchor as last time, and this time he's broadcasting it with a straight face.
"Someone died again? Is it still the same case?"
"Well, we found out last night that a diplomatic attaché from the Art Mission died in the Qiu District. He may have been investigating the murder of the head of their mission. And it was only a block away from the previous victimization point."
"Hey, it came really fast this time, but there's no rush, it's still the Qiu District, let them take it away. What's the use of you, the person in charge of Bailu District, rushing there."
Zheng Li was a little surprised. Although the frequency of incidents was a bit high, it was within expectations and not enough to interrupt Xie Ying's plan.
If the victim is an ordinary person or a disciplinary inspector, then we have to be more careful, but now the victim is an Alt man. Anyway, it is a diplomatic dispute. The other party is still biting the imprisoned District Chief Sun. Maybe the two sides can continue to argue.
Someone secretly cheered.
Now that the Shi Whale incident has come out, I don’t know how many people want to kill them. Maybe this time it’s not the decapitator himself, but just a copycat.
"If you ask me, just install cameras in the whole city. Then it will be much easier to investigate the case."
"Don't talk nonsense. We can't even electrify the outer ring. The last pilot project in two districts was completely destroyed within a week and almost caused a fire in the city. Even if it can be built, do you think the Citizens' Assembly can
Passed? Don’t go too far, the commission entrusted to you must be grasped quickly, and the situation is several times more complicated."
"How many times? That's it"
Xie Ying put on his coat and pointed at the TV.
"The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Shiqian City severely condemned the wrong words and deeds of Ater diplomats, and reiterated once again that the friendly and hospitable citizens of Shiqian do not have any special hostility towards the Ater people. This accusation is both disrespectful and contrary to
Objective facts, we once again emphasize that Shiqian City is safe and comfortable, and even foreigners can feel at ease."
Isn't this quite normal? It's the same official nonsense as always. It sounds very real, and even the people who say it don't take it all seriously.
At this time, the signal was briefly interrupted again.
When the light was turned on again, it was still the female anchor with a bitter look on her face, and her subtle expression of wanting to speak was very similar to the last time.
"I cough."
Probably because they didn't even bother to deal with it backstage, someone handed a note directly off camera.
Finally, after trying hard for a long time, she stopped pretending and simply read the manuscript with a straight face.
"An urgent news break. At about 9:20 this morning, Da Daxi, an Ater businessman, was killed in Welin Restaurant in Qiu District."
After organizing all the equipment for going out, Xie Ying turned around and said.
"That businessman specializes in importing Atel and other foreign goods. The last time the Youyi Avenue was discovered, it was his home. There are some things that the news will not broadcast. His body was taken from the private room on the third floor.
There was a blood-stained note on the body that was thrown away, saying, 'Justice will be punished by heaven, this is the consequences of luring a wolf into the house.'"
After saying that, Xie Ying hurried out and Sister Yinzi stood up helplessly to say goodbye.
"Is justice punishable by God? This really puts X basin directly on the disciplinary inspection team, but this is indeed the style of the disciplinary inspection office. Is it me? Or is it another copycat?"
I checked the intelligence mailbox again and found nothing as usual. The perpetrator was obviously a veteran.
But soon, he found that the situation was different from before.
[Record of the Justice Beheading Demon Incident: Is he our friend or enemy?]
[According to the older generation, the Justice Beheading Demon incident has occurred several times, and two of them were actually members of the police department in the past. It might not be the best this time]
[Ha, good job. Even if everyone doesn’t say anything about those Atel’s gangsters, they all know that they must have done the previous Shiwhale incident. That decapitator is doing harm to the people!]
Several common forums, especially the officially commissioned forum in Bailu District, are extremely popular in this area.
Not only did someone quickly put the note that Xie Ying mentioned just now, but the story of Director Liao's murder was also dug up.
[I heard that a boss with a black armband died yesterday. The decapitator only kills evil people. Maybe that one is the same.]
[Aren’t you afraid of having your water meter checked? I think it’s unlikely. Black Armband is said to have political reviews and internal searches twice a year. If something big happens, you’ll lose your hat. Compared to that person’s problem, I think it’s possible.
He must have chased too close and was silenced.】
The news on the Internet was confusing. Zheng Li noticed that many people mentioned a new piece of information, that is, the beheading demon is not a new thing. There have been several troubles in Shiqian City before. Although most of them have been solved, but
There was one person who was actually a former cadre of the Disciplinary Inspection Office, who caused a big disturbance at that time.
There were no posts about this on the forum yesterday. Zheng Li felt familiar with the sudden rise in popularity and the feeling of intelligence manipulation.
"Creating legends, artificial myths?"
"Oh, what would a lunatic do? There is indeed no competition for false myths and the threshold is extremely low, but even if it really becomes a mythical creature, it will not only be weak to the point of impairment, but it will be revealed sooner or later how it can gain a foothold in the city."
Seemingly remembering something interesting, Sister Yinzi, who had just returned to her room, looked reminiscing, but then shook her head. This was too unreliable.
"We had a fool who did this back then. He spent thirty years creating the legend of the man-eating furbolg in the wasteland. The result was that it was too false and the legend with unstable foundation was directly rejected by the subconscious mind of the human group. He died on the day of advancement.
"
"Don't say that, things are different now. The information circulation in the Internet era is hundreds or thousands of times that of before. Moreover, there is a precedent for this beheading demon. Maybe it has been circulated for hundreds of years. Maybe there is
Enough history and the accumulation of ancestral consciousness really allowed that person to take shortcuts."
Zheng Li, however, has a slightly different view.
"It's not possible. Well, I've recently become obsessed with playing chess online. It's really convenient. Times are changing so fast that I can't even adapt to them. Old friends have also said that some of them are indeed shaping new trends on the Internet.
Myth, maybe what you said is possible. Do you think this is possible? Ah Hai."
Jiang Haiyi, who was quietly sipping tea, was pulled in, put down his teacup, and thought about it for a moment.
"There is a possibility, but as Feng Yin said, false and empty history is short, and it is impossible to obtain enough divinity (consciousness) bonus from the subconscious of the human group. Such an advancement is meaningless on the road of evolution.
Most of them even have negative effects.”
"What those old guys are saying is that they are using the Internet to enhance the new generation's understanding of the mythical figures of the old era, and to enhance the artificial divinity of heroes and mythical figures. It is a long-term investment in the subconscious mind of the entire human group. It should not be the same thing.
.”
Hearing this, Zheng Li nodded silently.
After all, these two people have really touched the edge of mythical creatures, and their understanding of this aspect should be far deeper than themselves.
Xie Ying went to work, but life still had to go on.
For example, the confused Rabbit didn't understand anything, but secretly turned the TV back to the animation channel. She especially liked the old animation called "Bugs Bunny", and especially envied the immortal body that could not be killed no matter how hard it was beaten, and the random...
The superpower to conjure carrots from their fur.
For example, the good man Jiang Haiyi not only cleared the table and washed the dishes, but also started thinking about tomorrow's morning recipe, considering whether to replace the rabbit with ingredients other than carrots, and also thought of a new fish dish for Ah Qiong.
For example, a certain information dealer who was knocking on the table was now seriously considering whether he should work overtime at night and make up for the Rabbit course early. He might also be involved in the end. Xie Ying was really unkind when he got anxious.
For example, a certain Yinzi sister had just sent away a "child" with great displeasure, but then she turned around and thought of something. She smiled and prepared to fulfill her dream and take a bath with her child (daughter), but she immediately pulled her away and shouted, "I want it."
A rabbit watching "Bugs Bunny" walked to the bathroom.
Looking at the background, after hesitating for a moment, Zheng Li finally spoke.
"Don't push her too hard. I'll give her extra lessons tonight."
"Don't worry, I'll give her a break and let you torment her tonight."
Well, it seems that it was originally a serious matter, but as I talked, it really became quite subtle——
"Ah ah ah, did I come to the wrong place? A whole day, a whole day! I didn't learn anything. Am I really a fool?"
In the large bathhouse, Lan Mengqi sank into the water and rolled around.
It was fine just now, but now that she entered the bathtub, the fatigue all over her body surfaced, and she only had the strength to wallow in the water.
"Oh, that's what Ying Zai is like. Although he looks calm on the outside, he is actually very impatient. He definitely wants you to learn all his skills in an instant. Can you tell me how he taught you today?"
"Eh? You are not his master"
"Haha, I am his master, but there are things that I know that he doesn't know, and things that he knows that I don't know. Everyone has their own path. This is the most interesting thing about our genre."
Chapter completed!
