Sinmonger Chapter 7: Gifts? compromise?

Chapter 7 Gifts? compromise?

Vancouver is one of the most livable cities in the world, home to many descendants of nobles and royalty. Maple Leaf County has a limited population and vast territory, and there is no powerful resistance organization to encroach on. Therefore, after the outbreak of wars in Asia, Europe and Africa, many dignitaries chose to move here. Most of them own properties all over the world, some already own a villa or even a manor in Vancouver, while others can just sign a few more checks and find a nice place to live.

But not long ago, a disturbing mystery occurred in the city.

That was the mysterious death of the third prince, Victor Witstock. The cause of his death was that he accidentally fell into the sea and drowned when he was out fishing alone on a yacht. When his body was found, His Royal Highness was obviously dead, completely brain dead, and there was no possibility of rescue.

The state of his death is very bizarre and can only be explained as an accident. His yacht was off, and he was the only one on the boat. The entire right leg of the corpse was wrapped in a mess of fishing line. Victor's fat body was dragged by the fishing rod like a big fish. It didn't sink to the bottom of the sea.

The ensuing investigation was prompt and thorough. hl directly kicked the police out and took over in full, but the result was still "accidental" because they really couldn't find any trace of the murder. Even analyzing the entire ship inch by inch, checking every fingerprint, and even the DNA of every hair that could be found, failed to find the slightest clue.

If you have to say that this is not an accident, then... at least in terms of evidence, there are only two possibilities: first, His Royal Highness the third prince committed suicide; second, it is the so-called complete crime.

Even if these two assumptions are true, the team in charge of the case faces the same problem, that is, the murderer is simply not found. If it's suicide, that's all, but what about a complete crime? With the technology in today's world and the existence of a group of capable people, a perfect murder is not impossible. But the problem is that since a complete crime is successfully achieved, it means the murderer's victory, because an important condition for a complete crime is that the murderer cannot be found out, or even if he admits to killing himself, and even arrogantly says the method of crime, You also can't find any evidence other than a confession to charge him.

Therefore, the investigation team chose the conclusion of "accidental". In fact, it is not difficult to choose. To say "suicide" is a scandal, and many things will be involved; to say "complete crime" is to admit the existence of the murderer, But powerless. They have only one way left.

As a result, these buddies are considered to be planted, and they are collectively demoted and disbanded. The governor of Vancouver was also unlucky, but he resigned sensibly and took the initiative to resign. With the “retention” of many colleagues, he was finally transferred to the municipal office of a second- and third-tier city by his superiors to be the deputy director of the office.

It's not easy to be an official these days. Anyone who is ruthless and has the courage and knowledge to take on a few projects that destroy the environment and people's livelihood, or do a few large-scale projects that are good-looking and full of oil and water, so as to make some political achievements, as long as the problems are exposed In the past, when you were promoted to another place of employment, after a few years, the bridge collapsed, the embankment collapsed, the river stinks, or people died, it has nothing to do with you.

If you want to do nothing, you'd better find a fortune teller to see Feng Shui, but don't catch any natural disasters**, such as a train derailment, a fire in a high-rise building, a road collapse, etc. If the death toll exceeds thirty-five, or there are nobles and royal families who have suffered misfortune, it is up to you.

Of course, there is another kind of even more difficult to be a good cadre who serves the people, the kind who dare not even accept a cigarette, never flatter the leaders, nor help relatives when they ask for errands; In the ordinary school, the wife can't even play mahjong, the lover doesn't have a lover, and the secretary hires a man. However, such an official generally cannot be promoted to the post of governor, let alone mention it.

All in all, when a great person dies, someone will be forced to take responsibility even if no one can be held responsible. And when a small person dies, even if he breaks his iron shoes, he may not be able to find a place to reason.

The world isn't supposed to be like this, it wasn't like this in the past, and I don't know why it's like this now.

…………

July 13, 2101, Maple Leaf County, Vancouver.

In the mansion that originally belonged to Victor, the tea fairy is lying on a rocking chair, closing his eyes and listening to an old song.

In all fairness, the melody of the song is not very beautiful, the rhythm is very simple, and there are three common elements in the lyrics.

"I want to leave my hometown and wander alone. I will never forget the friendship between the poor and the lowly. Friendship is long and long. There is no pain there, there is no sorrow there. Sitting alone will not be hesitant. , the farther from home, don’t look back, where do I want to go, where can I be liberated? My fair lady is here, let me hug me from left to right, there are confidants on the road ahead, and the world is my hometown.”

When this kind of song is played from a set of expensive luxury speakers and single looped, it is a crime.

It is puzzling that this is the favorite song of the tea fairy. Anyone who has had some contact with him would never have imagined that such a thing would happen. Most people would guess that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince should like to listen to symphony or love songs full of literary and artistic style, or is he a fan of British rock?

Actually, they are all wrong, Cha Xian is almost tone deaf, his style will never be higher than that of any arty young man of the same age in any corner of the world, he also rarely has time to listen to songs, the only one This is the song he likes to listen to, and this is the only song he can sing and sing on-tone. Of course, he never sang in front of others.

"Your Highness." A maid knocked on the door of the room twice, standing at the door and said, "There is a guest asking to see you."

Before these five words came out of the opponent's mouth, Cha Xian's brain made a series of inferences like a conditioned reflex.

"How many people?" Cha Xian still closed his eyes and turned off the music with the remote control.

"Just one." The maid paused: "It's a young lady."

Cha Xian opened his eyes and asked an inexplicable question: "Isn't she pretty?"

What does it mean? Don't you look ugly? The maid said in her heart, looked up at His Royal Highness, and just wanted to open her mouth to answer, the tea fairy said again: "I think I know the answer."

He sat up and walked to the maid: "I know from the facial scanning system that she is a royal family."

The maid was a little stunned, but nodded dumbly.

Cha Xian knows that these domestic servants who originally served Victor are somewhat snobbish. If it is a civilian, they probably won't report it. Maybe the security guard at the door will take the opportunity to do some body searches. behavior like wiping. But if they came here, they would definitely not dare to offend them. They must have been called "guests" in a proper manner.

"'Please' come to the reception room." Cha Xian emphasized the invitation, implying the importance of this visitor.

The maid complied and went out.

A few minutes later, Cha Xian was already sitting in the reception room with the visiting young lady.

He set aside all the people. There was a pot of freshly brewed black tea on the table. He poured a cup for the lady, and then poured another cup for himself. The tea fairy said, "Miss Jiang Yun, right?"

Jiang Yun's face was pale, her eyes were blank, and her lips and cheeks were all bloodless. When she heard her name, she didn't react. She just turned her face slowly, looked at Cha Xian, and then From the handbag he was carrying, he took out a mobile phone and a small glass bottle and placed it on the table in front of the two of them.

There's nothing special about that phone, at least it doesn't seem to bite or explode suddenly. The glass bottle appeared to be a perfume bottle, but the liquid inside was a strange pale blue.

Cha Xian knew Tian Yi's trick. He picked up the mobile phone on the table, opened it, and saw an unread message with only a few numbers: press the speed dial key 1 to find me.

Cha Xian glanced at Jiang Yun, but the other party was still the same, like a puppet that couldn't move: "Is it okay?" Out of upbringing, Tea Xian asked before calling, but still didn't get any respond.

"Alright then." At this point, the tea fairy at least confirmed one thing. His post-mortem analysis of the Longjun incident was that Jiang Yun should have joined the reverse cross. Although he did not know why this woman, as a royal family, did this, the conclusions that could be drawn were nothing more than those, or She was originally against the empire in her mind, or she was under the control of her mind, and there was a very small possibility that she fell in love with a male member of the reverse cross. Of course, the possibility is quite low. Judging from the current situation, it was basically certain that she was under control.

Cha Xian pressed the speed-dial key 1 on the phone, and after about three or four beeps, he was connected, and the person who answered the call was indeed Tian Yi.

"Which one?" Tianyi asked. The old man's phone on the desk of the bookstore has no caller ID function at all, unless it is calculated that someone will call at a certain time. Generally speaking, Tianyi will call first. Ask who the other person is.

When the tea immortal talked to him, he naturally went straight to the point and went straight to the topic: "I am here, what is in the bottle?"

Tianyi heard his voice and knew his identity: "Oh, it's you, how is the injury?" Tianyi's behavior, for example, is like A pushing B After going off the cliff, Yi was lucky enough to survive. The two met many years later. A asked B indifferently, how are you doing recently?

"What's in the bottle?" Cha Xian ignored Tian Yi's words and repeated his question.

Tian Yiyi; "Neutralizer." After he answered, he added: "Neutralizer for Type 77 Zombie Potion."

Tea Immortal understood in an instant, and he continued, "Is Jiang Yun controlled by the potion you mentioned?"

"Yes, in fact, after Long County's plan, she is useless. I locked her up and wanted to observe the follow-up drug reaction of Type 77. How long will it take for it to fail or kill the receptor. It hasn't expired yet, and she's not dead. So I thought I'd just let her go and let her send you a cell phone." Tianyi said, "Oh, yes, after detoxification, her original personality will be restored. , but the memory of the controlled period of time will be preserved. Although she has not been violated or hurt in any way, but... She has hurt others in the zombie state. For a woman, it should be a bad period of time. Pleasant memory."

Tea Immortal's train of thought can follow Tianyi's every sentence, he immediately said; "Did Li Wei be killed by her..." The point of this sentence is still later: "Can I think so, You now have a drug that can enhance the physique of ordinary people to a certain extent, and turn them into a mindless, obedient killing weapon."

"You can say that." Tian Yi replied.

"What did you use to establish the command mechanism...sound, smell, psychological suggestion?" Cha Xian asked.

"It doesn't matter, even if I mass-produce this drug to create an army, it's just a group of ordinary people with enhanced physical fitness. The military literacy and resilience are far inferior to the same number. They just use the knowledge in their heads to implement my orders, but they are not soldiers themselves.”

Cha Xiandao: "You sent Jiang Yun to me and led me to think about the military, in fact, you wanted me to ignore the real horror of this drug... If you issue an order like this , such as 'pretend not to be controlled and live as usual', then you get a perfect piece that can be activated at any time, and before you wake up, the controlled person has no flaws, they just With the original memory and body, living 'as usual', lurking... As long as the medicine does not fail, it will be like this until death."

"Haha... You really have made progress." Tian Yi said with a smile.

"You seem too arrogant to praise me in this tone." Tea Immortal said: "I have always respected my opponents."

Tian Yi Dao: "Okay, I apologize. But don't rush to get angry, because I have another thing to tell you that will make you angry, but at the same time can make you feel at ease." He smiled: " Type 77 is not completely free of side effects."

Hearing this, Cha Xian involuntarily turned his gaze to Jiang Yun.

Tian Yi continued: "It should be impossible to create a lurking army of spies after mass production, because the experimental product in front of you has become dumb. I don't know how long it will take to produce the effect, anyway. I just found out before I sent her out this time. I tried telling her to speak, but she couldn't make a single sound. I also had her vocal cords checked by a very good doctor, but nothing was found. , I can only think that the drug damaged some part of her nervous system and that she lost the ability to speak."

Cha Xian looked at Jiang Yun, was silent for a few seconds, controlled his anger, and replied with the same tone: "So it is, since there are such side effects, I am really relieved." He immediately said Changed the subject: "Let's talk about business... You will ask her to send her mobile phone, which means that you have also seen the news."

"Well, huh...I see." Tian Yi's voice sounded even happier than before: "My condition is to make your third emperor 'resign from the competition for the heir to the throne', but you have done it thoroughly. , not only complete, but permanent.

Hey...you are really ruthless. With your ability, it shouldn't be too difficult to set up a game to let him fall into the trap and defeat him politically, right? Unexpectedly, you turned him into a dead man, he is a half-brother..."

The tea immortal listened to the other party's joking tone, and she was still calm as water when she replied: "My approach is different from what you imagined, does it make you feel a little guilty?"

On the other side of the phone, there was a sudden silence.

The tea fairy said again; "Do you think...I really have kindness, justice, and order in my heart? Maybe I'm acting?"

Tian Yi spoke again, with morbid, petty laughter, and a tone that betrayed excitement: "Has it been a show that lasted your entire life since you were a child?"

"What? You think I can't do it? Or can't you do it yourself?" Cha Xian asked coldly.

Tian Yi laughed. He didn't answer the question, and Cha Xian knew that it wasn't a problem. The two of them were tacit, and in fact, neither of them believed the other. Tea Immortal's words are not necessarily bluffing. Tianyi's laughter and the silence just now are very likely just pretending.

"Very well, you did a great job in this round, then, I want to ask, which hostage do you want me to release?" Tian Yi asked.

The tea immortal took a sip of tea calmly. The delay of these few seconds may be thinking, or it may be just to show that he is not in a hurry: "Do you need to ask this question? I thought you had read the news. In the future, a hostage will be released directly and let him deliver a letter to me."

"Hmph... It really is a time attendant. In other words, if I let him go, you will immediately take this opportunity to turn the court upside down, right?" Tian Dao said.

"Isn't this exactly what you want?" Tea Immortal replied: "You want me to be the emperor, don't you? Then, I need to break the current pattern of Tiandu and reorganize the situation that is beneficial to me. Moreover, you You must cooperate with me when necessary."

"Are you talking about cooperation with me?" Tian Yi smiled and said, "I heard it right?"

"You can take this as an order from the future emperor."

"Joke, the current emperor can't order me ~IndoMTL.com~ to refuse, that's not the attitude a gamer should have." Tea Immortal said.

Tian Yi Dao: "Okay! I've released Shishi, not only will I let Shishi, but I'll give you Changying too."

"Hostages don't make sense to you, do they?"

"You're inviting me into the game, what's the use of taking hostages?"

Cha Xian sneered: "Hmph...then I'll leave this phone behind."

"Yes, but I've been very busy recently. Unless you're going to hang yourself at home on a whim, please don't call." Tianyi.

"Don't worry, I'm also very busy. What I have to do may not be easier than yours." Tea Immortal said, pressing the hang up button and ending the call.

He looked at Jiang Yun next to him, his expression was very complicated, and his eyes were more sympathetic and hesitant. After watching for a long time, the tea fairy sighed and fed the bottle of neutralizer into her mouth...
