Chapter 256 - Unraveling the Truth (Second Big Chapter, Monthly Ticket)

Xia Chujian said unhappily, "Of course, a lunatic would only use a submachine gun to kill people. If they could think of Teflon Alkane, they wouldn't be a lunatic, but a meticulous and perverted killer!"

She touched the Other Shore Flower necklace around her neck again and said, "When I export the data from the Shao Siming Mecha, I can prove whether my speculation is accurate."

Huo Yushen was thoughtful. "...Such a large scale..."

Xia Chujian said, "Only a ghost would believe that the accident was caused by aging natural gas pipelines!"

Huo Yushen said, "Judging from the appearance of the accident, it wasn't a collapse that could be caused by a natural gas explosion."

Xia Chujian was shocked and angry, "Since you all know, why hasn't anyone refuted the nonsense from the Punishment Department!"

Huo Yushen said, "What's the use of refuting?"

Xia Chujian was about to jump up in anger.

Huo Yushen added, "Losing your temper is also useless."

Xia Chujian was driven crazy by him. She clenched her fists and said coldly, "...Isn't it because the people living in this building are all ordinary people! There are no dignitaries! No one cares about our lives! It's truly freedom in life, randomness in death! You can do whatever you want and treat human lives like dirt!"

He glanced at her and said coldly, "It's good that you know, but it's okay to say these things to me, don't mention them to anyone else, not even your superior Meng Guanghui."

After venting, Xia Chujian didn't feel so suffocated. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and said, "Got it, I won't tell others. Besides, how am I supposed to say it? Am I supposed to tell him that I have a Shao Siming Mecha? Or tell you, leader, to report that the explosion in our building wasn't a natural gas leak, but a targeted demolition?"

Huo Yushen looked down at the intelligence summary in front of him and said, "Since we're on the subject, I'll also tell you a piece of news that the Special Security Bureau just received. Three school police officers from Mulan City No. 1 High School, and a dispatcher from the Punishment Department, have all committed suicide."

Xia Chujian: "..."

"This is collusion from the inside, suicide out of fear of punishment." Xia Chujian wasn't surprised at all. "I thought about it at school. If there wasn't an inside accomplice, how could that lunatic bring a submachine gun into the school?"

"That submachine gun is obviously from the Contender Series. The security equipment at our school gate can detect it one hundred percent."

Huo Yushen nodded slightly, "The suicides of these people have basically cut off the clues for subsequent investigations. Combined with the Teflon Alkane you mentioned earlier, we can conclude that the case of the lunatic gunman at Mulan City No. 1 High School, and the explosion in your building, are not accidental, but meticulously planned."

Xia Chujian couldn't figure it out, "Is it the Judge Organization? What are they planning this for? Just for Yu Wangyou, the Saintess? To be honest, is it worth causing such a big incident and spending so much money just to kill Yu Wangyou? Is Yu Wangyou that important? Wouldn't it be better for them to let Yu Wangyou go and just find another Saintess?"

Huo Yushen didn't want to explain further and said coldly, "Since they did it, there must be a reason, it's just that you can't guess it."

Xia Chujian couldn't help but say, "Then can Inspector Huo enlighten me?"

Huo Yushen looked at her coldly, "...It's always others reporting to me, I never explain to others."

Xia Chujian stared at Huo Yushen, and after a long while, said dejectedly, "I'm a newbie, if you don't explain, I'll really be at a loss."

Huo Yushen: "..."

He had never seen anyone use their newbie status so thoroughly.

Huo Yushen's face was frosty as he said, "Think for yourself, don't wait for others to feed you."

Xia Chujian rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that only an idiot would do it themselves when someone else could feed them...

But she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Huo Yushen, so she had to rack her brains and analyze, "Since Yu Wangyou was once a Saintess of the Judge Organization, and that lunatic gunman was a Guardian, then we should start with the identity of this lunatic gunman, investigate his social connections, and follow the clues to find his accomplices."

Huo Yushen's expression softened slightly, "There's some truth to that, but the premise of your analysis is that you believe the lunatic gunman was indeed a Guardian."

"What else could he be?" Xia Chujian asked in confusion, "He said he was a Guardian, and Yu Wangyou proved he was a Guardian with her life, what reason do I have not to believe it?"

Huo Yushen said, "Your sources of information are relatively limited. To draw the correct conclusion, you must have multiple sources of information to corroborate each other."

Xia Chujian: "...I'd like to have multiple sources of information, but who's going to feed them to me?"

This was another subtle jab.

Huo Yushen: "..."

He narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Based on my understanding of the Judge Organization, that lunatic gunman could never be their Guardian."

Xia Chujian was suspicious, "You know the Judge Organization very well? But Yu Wangyou's long farewell post on Star Network confirmed that person's identity as a Guardian."

Huo Yushen nodded, "That's the most important point I'm making. The superficial phenomena are contradictory because we lack the intermediate clues, so we can't connect these seemingly contradictory things. However, the other party made a mistake, and still revealed a flaw."

"...What flaw?"

"The Teflon Alkane clue you provided is a major flaw for the other party, and it's enough to allow the Special Security Bureau to intervene."

The corner of Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, and she said, "So, in the end, you don't know what's going on..."

Huo Yushen ignored her words.

He continued, "If your aunt and Wu Fu really inhaled Teflon Alkane, they still need targeted treatment. Just the Medical Cabin isn't enough, because Teflon Alkane is very harmful to Red Blood Cells, causing severe anemia and triggering blood Genetic Diseases."

Xia Chujian suddenly remembered that yesterday, her aunt had suddenly fallen asleep while sitting in her chair, petting Zhu Yingying's big cat.

Could this be because her Red Blood Cells were already damaged?

This would only make her aunt's already unhealthy body even worse! And Wu Fu, he's only two years old. What will happen to him if his Red Blood Cells are severely damaged?!

She now deeply hated the person who used Teflon Alkane. It was too toxic! Even if you manage to escape the building alive, you won't have peace for the rest of your life...

Xia Chujian immediately asked, "What kind of targeted treatment is needed?"

Huo Yushen said, "The best method currently is Advanced Nutrient Solution. Make sure they consume at least one tube every day for three consecutive years to avoid permanent damage."

Xia Chujian immediately said, "Inspector Huo, could I buy an extra box of Advanced Nutrient Solution from the Bureau every month?"

According to her quota, she could get one box of Advanced Nutrient Solution a month, which was only enough for Xia Yuanfang.

But there was also little Wu Fu. Even if he didn't need one tube a day, he still needed to have one every two days.

Huo Yushen said coldly, "I'll have Little Meng add an extra quota for you, but only for one year. After that, you'll have to find your own way."

Xia Chujian's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Inspector Huo! Inspector Huo is a good person... May you be promoted and gain higher ranks!"

Huo Yushen: "..."

He ignored Xia Chujian's insincere flattery, looked at her coldly, and waited for her to calm down before saying, "Returning to the previous topic, I heard that you were the last person to speak to Yu Wangyou before she committed suicide. Didn't the Punishment Department ask you to provide information?"

Xia Chujian shrugged. "They asked, but I just gave them a few perfunctory answers, and they didn't delve into it."

Huo Yushen asked again, "When she was talking to you, did you feel like she had suicidal thoughts?"

Xia Chujian nodded, and said dejectedly, "I didn't think much about it at the time, but now that I think about it, almost every sentence she said to me was like a last word."

Huo Yushen's eyes twitched again.

This girl's heart and nerves were unusually thick.

For the first time, he began to doubt his own judgment.

Could Xia Chujian really live up to his expectations of her?

In their line of work, boldness was essential, but along with boldness, one also had to be meticulous.

Otherwise, you could fall into someone else's trap in a matter of minutes, and no matter how capable you were, you would be nothing more than meat on someone else's chopping board.

Seeing Huo Yushen's obviously scrutinizing gaze, Xia Chujian was baffled and frowned. "Why does Inspector Huo keep asking about Yu Wangyou? Do you think there's something strange about Yu Wangyou's death? It wasn't suicide?"

Huo Yushen had the autopsy reports of Yu Family's four members in front of him.

Whether it was biometric data or physical characteristic data, they all matched.

But the problem was, if only Yu Wangyou wanted to commit suicide, why did the whole family and the whole building die?

Was it really just a coincidence? After thinking about it, he still said to Xia Chujian, "... After receiving your information, Meng Guanghui immediately went to her house and gave Yu Wangyou a Lie Detector test. At the time, Yu Wangyou clearly stated that she did not know the so-called Guardian, and had nothing to do with the Judge Organization's Saintess. Moreover, she passed the Lie Detector test."

Xia Chujian's heart sank. "... Denied it?! But Yu Wangyou's Star Network blog post clearly stated that she had been kidnapped, and she also told me personally that she had indeed been kidnapped and bullied by that... Guardian."

At this moment, Xia Chujian's mind was completely confused.

She realized that she really didn't understand Yu Wangyou at all.

Yu Wangyou said that her brain wasn't working well, and she wasn't wrong.

Xia Chujian admitted that her brain really wasn't working well, at least when it came to Yu Wangyou. There were too many mysteries.

Huo Yushen quietly looked at Xia Chujian until her expression gradually turned cold, then he continued, "Yu Wangyou was able to pass the Lie Detector test, there is a 99.99% chance that she was telling the truth, that she really didn't know the so-called Guardian, and had nothing to do with the Judge Organization."

"But there is also a 0.01% chance that she is a particularly resilient person, that she can deceive herself, and therefore deceive the Lie Detector."

"What is certain is that, regardless of which possibility it is, she is deceiving."

"Because if the Lie Detector test was true, then she really has nothing to do with the Judge Organization and the Saintess, but she told you that she was the Saintess, which is a deception."

"If she has something to do with the Judge Organization, but told the Lie Detector that she didn't, and the Lie Detector didn't detect her lying, then her ability to deceive has reached a terrifying level."

"And a woman with such terrifying abilities can only deceive others, it is impossible for her to be abducted by others."

"Adding what I know about the Judge Organization, and my previous judgment, that mentally ill gunman could never be a Guardian of the Judge Organization. So I still believe Yu Wangyou's lie detector results are real. She has nothing to do with the Judge Organization or the Saintess."

Xia Chujian was even more puzzled: "Then why would she smear herself? And even offer her life as an apology?"

Huo Yushen retorted: "...So you also believe that long article on Star Blog?"

Xia Chujian still hesitated: "The Star Blog article was sent on a timer. It could have been timed by her, or sent by someone else. But I won't mishear what Yu Wangyou said to me in person. It's exactly the same as that Star Blog article, except the Star Blog article has some details she didn't tell me."

Huo Yushen lowered his eyes, "Then there's only one reason, she lied to you too. And even made you, the best indirect witness for her."

Xia Chujian's cold expression cracked inch by inch.

Knowing she misjudged someone was one thing.

Knowing the other person was lying to her from beginning to end was another.

"...But why would she lie to me? I always firmly believed she wasn't the Saintess of the Judge Organization." Xia Chujian took a deep breath, completely unable to understand Yu Wangyou's behavior.

Huo Yushen didn't care about Xia Chujian's breakdown, and continued to ask coldly: "How much do you know about the Judge Organization?"

Xia Chujian said woodenly: "...Not much. Didn't the Empire ban this organization a long time ago? Said it was a cult."

Huo Yushen said: "What about the Saintess?"

"...Wangyou... Yu Wangyou told me, and I only knew then that the Judge Organization had this Saintess thing. News and gossip on the Star Network never mentioned such detailed things before."

Huo Yushen said: "I have an internal video of the Judge Organization, I'll show it to you when I get the chance. But now I want to say two things."

"One, last November, you and your team rescued the abducted victims, remember?"

"Yes, I remember." What appeared in Xia Chujian's mind was Ji Jiayi's appearance, because she looked exactly like the girl she rescued.

"That time, the Judge Organization had those traffickers come forward to abduct the targets they had already chosen. Because they needed these young people from the upper class to sacrifice to the Judge Organization's Human Sacrifice Ceremony, which happens every three years."

Xia Chujian came back to her senses and widened her eyes: "...So that time, the Judge Organization was behind it?! I thought they abducted those young people to sell them for money..."

"Sell them for money?"

"Yeah, there are many bloody legends about these traffickers on the Star Network, like chopping off hands and feet, selling organs, making them breeding machines, all for money."

Huo Yushen: "..."

He said coldly: "Ordinary traffickers do these dark industries. But the Judge Organization, they purely don't treat human lives as lives, just like we treat farmed livestock."

Xia Chujian's mood was complicated: "...So those twenty-four young people were going to be abducted for sacrifice that time?"

Huo Yushen said: "But because of your intervention, they failed."

Xia Chujian's mood was even more complicated: "But those young people still died, right? I remember they were still alive when we left, but then I don't know what happened, they all died."

Huo Yushen said: "No, there's still one who didn't die."

Xia Chujian: "...That's the girl you asked me to draw, who looks like Ji Jiayi, a classmate from our school."

Huo Yushen said: "I didn't ask you to draw, it was a mechanical intelligence drawing."
