Throne of Radiance

Chapter 33 Interlude V

Nine o'clock in the morning on July [-].Yuanyang City.

Upon waking up, everyone noticed the changes in the city, as if they had returned to a month ago overnight.

The topic on the Internet about the rainy night serial murder case has gradually cooled down after nearly a month.The previous blanket search and extensive investigation only lasted for two days before disappearing.In its place was a blockbuster kidnapping case.

All kinds of black material about Gong Fang was dug up overnight, directly occupying the top six local hot searches.

[? ? ?what happened?What about well-known philanthropic entrepreneurs? emm abandoned his wife and daughter, embezzled and bribed, evaded taxes, even murdered and set fire? ? ? ]

[The fire at the Happiness Orphanage caused a lot of trouble in our local area. I heard that none of the 63 children escaped. At that time, I thought it was an accident. Then you told me that it might be caused by humans?My God, so many children have been harmed, has the surname Gong not had nightmares for so many years? ! ]

[I didn't expect that a kidnapping case would reveal so many inside stories. Originally, I wanted to say that the kidnapper was insane, and even such a young child was able to do it, and even played games?Play Nima too!Now?I just want to say you guys did a great job!If this boss hadn't been exposed, who would have known that Gong Fang was such a scum under his skin?Strongly demand C to be imprisoned! ]

[Latest news, Gong Fang has been taken away by the police for investigation.If there are no accidents, he will go to prison soon. ]

[hhhhh, please everyone!Let him judge more! ]

[Only I want to know if the rainy night serial murderer has been caught?Now that the kidnapping case has been solved, what about the rainy night serial murder case?This is what is more harmful, right? ]

[Upstairs, didn't you see that the police patrolling before have withdrawn?No more blanket searches.The attitude of the police obviously means that the rainy night serial murder case has been solved. The criminal has either been arrested or has definitely left the city. Anyway, Yuanyang City is not in danger. ]

[In some special cases, the police will definitely not release the inside story to the outside world, and this time it is probably like this. ]

[I also think that the rainy night serial murder case is so big that the whole country has been alarmed, and the inside story must be amazing.It is probably inconvenient for the police not to announce it now. Maybe in the future they will announce the inside story when the time comes? ]

[Anyway, I didn't do anything wrong and I'm not afraid. Now I'm more curious about Gong Fang being arrested. How is the Gong Group?Should it be handed over to his daughter to inherit?Didn't it mean that his son had no blood relationship with him? ]

[Anyway, the stock of the Gong Group has been going down all the way. It is said that some properties will also be investigated. After the investigation, it should be handed over to the young lady. Even if the properties of the Gong Group have shrunk by a circle, it is more than enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.] right? ]

[Hahahaha, thinking about it makes me happy!The way of heaven is reincarnation, who will the heaven spare!The scumbag father abandoned his wife and daughter to occupy the family business, and ended up eating in prison.The little sister was self-reliant, and finally regained the family property.Substitute into the young lady's perspective, this is the heroine of Shuangwen! ]

[Rich woman please help me!I have a bad stomach...]

[Am I the only one still worried about the protagonist of this kidnapping case?I heard that he was only ten years old. He was just kidnapped and frightened. His father, who turned his head and loved him, was about to go to jail, and it was discovered that he was not his father's biological son. What a tragedy! ]

[My aunt works as a babysitter in the Gong family. I heard that his mother only eats, drinks and has fun on weekdays. When she heard about Gong Fang’s accident, she packed up her jewelry and left before dawn this morning. She didn’t even care that her son was still in the police station Did not go home. ]

[Is this legal blind?Did she not raise her biological son if she didn't want to?Is this to be charged with the crime of abandonment, and go to the bureau with Gong Fang? ? ? ]

[The latest news, the young lady expressed her willingness to keep the little guy in the Gong family until he turns 18.But his own mother must bear the child support that should be borne. ]

[Wow, Miss Sister is really kind.That's fine, I always feel that it's unreliable to follow that kind of mother...]

……

"... At present, public opinion on the rainy night serial murder case has been suppressed. The inside story about the kidnapping case has diverted the attention of other people well. This has bought us a certain amount of time. Before paying attention, we can still control the news within a certain range. The following is the detailed ins and outs of this matter, please open the file."

In the imperial capital, in a meeting room of a secret base.

Someone stood on the stage with a lit projection screen behind him.

Those sitting in the audience were without exception important members of the upper echelon of Yao Country, and many of them had appeared on the TV news.

In the auditorium with the most special position on the side, it is Chu Xingbang, who is now a titular monarch, and several elders.

"On June 23, the first rainy night murder case occurred in Yuanyang City. The victim's body was found at noon the next day..."

Following the voice of this person, the corresponding files and photos appeared on the projection screen behind him.

"On June 26, the second victim appeared... until July 11, the murderer killed [-] people in a row for half a month."

"On July [-], the special case investigation team arrived in Yuanyang City, and three more victims appeared that night. The king of Chu deliberately said something inappropriate to solve the case. Just two days later, on July [-], the murderer continued to kill again. Six people, the special case team started a blanket search..."

This person retraces in detail what happened in the past less than a month. After all, many people in the conference room may only know about the details but not the specific details.

"And then on July [-]th, yesterday, the abduction happened and paranormal incidents first surfaced."

"The three supernatural incidents that can be confirmed at present, the first is the most sensational rainy night serial murder..." The people on the stage signaled everyone to open the file, and the projection behind them also appeared, "The information that can be confirmed is as follows——"

On the projection screen, lines of writing appeared:

Name: K (suspected code name)

Identity: Unorganized Extraordinary

Appearance: An adult male around the age of 27, with light blond hair, almost shoulder-length, and dark green pupils, suspected to have the blood of the Holy Federation or the Morning Star Empire.

Behavior habits: I like to wear a black windbreaker, carry a black umbrella (weapon suspected to have supernatural power), like to haunt on rainy nights, like to enter residents' homes without invitation, call myself a tourist, like to use honorifics, behave gracefully, and seem to be educated Good etiquette training.

Extraordinary ability: disappear in place, suspected of teleportation. (It is guessed that the condition for this ability to be activated is rainy night, or it must be in the rain.) (There may also be no restrictions, and it is his personal hobby to go out in rainy nights.) Use a black umbrella to attack. (It can be transformed into a firearm and can be used as a sword for close combat.)

Personality simulation: fond of killing, arrogant and high-profile, conceited, and has a strong desire to perform.Not purely pursuing the result of killing, but enjoying the process of torturing others, pursuing excitement, and will release people/dinner with the victim's family on a whim, even if it may bring adverse effects to him.

Supplement: On June 6, a drunkard accidentally encountered the killing scene of this person but was let go. Afterwards, it was found that the murder location disappeared. After analysis, it is likely that the time and place of the other party's first visit to the real world have been blocked.

"This person is extremely conceited and arrogant. He has no thoughts of good or evil. He may have a certain care for children, which may be related to his experience. He enjoys getting feedback from other people while killing people, just like a performance must have an audience. The president of the Shadow Council has subdued him, and he will definitely continue to commit crimes, but the target is not necessarily limited to Yuanyang City..."

Everyone in the audience frowned slightly, turned over a new page of the document, and listened to the people on the stage continue talking.

"The second case is related to the Shadow Council."

"At present, I only know that this should be an extraordinary organization hidden in the dark. The leader of the organization is likely to come to the real world alone to develop the Shadow Council in secret." The people on the stage switched the screen, "It is worth mentioning that Yuanyang City Police A police officer from the department pointed out to us that on June 6th, there was a car accident in Yuanyang City, and there were factors induced behind the scenes. All the clues point to the existence of a doctor code-named on the Internet, whose behavior style is very suspicious , he suspects that it may be a member of the Shadow Council."

"... Based on this clue, we will re-search all the cases that happened in Yuanyang City in the past few years. Maybe there are clues of the Shadow Council."

"The currently known information is probably—"

On the projection screen, new writing appeared again.

name: unknown

Identity: President of the Shadow Council

Appearance: unknown

Behavioral habits: Suspected of hiding behind the scenes and manipulating other people's actions as the main behavior.Accustomed to laying out layer by layer, he is good at capturing the weaknesses of human nature, so as to guide the actions of others.Low-key, cautious, thoughtful, not pushy.The shadow council has been developing silently in secret, without showing any trace for many years.This time, the high-profile move suddenly violated the character. In addition to recruiting manpower, it was suspected that some unknown event had suddenly occurred, which made it impossible to develop in a step-by-step and silent manner due to time constraints, such as an unknown change in the extraordinary world.This unknown change may also be the reason why K came to the real world.

Extraordinary ability: Suspected to be related to shadows, it can counteract attacks in the shadows, and can remotely control other people's bodies.The specific strength and scope are temporarily unknown.

Personality simulation: Excessively extreme "justice" has become evil, with a set of self-contained logical moral principles and judgment standards.The scum and scum identified by universal values ​​will be tried regardless of whether they violated the law or not.Under normal circumstances, they will not act personally, but will only guide others to act willingly.Suspect claims to be the shadow behind the light, and is a "dark law enforcer" who has ideals, beliefs, and goals, and is hard to shake.

Supplement: The shadow council under this person is likely to be a hidden "dark law enforcement organization" that guides other people's actions to clean up the cleanup targets they define as scum, while hiding itself in the shadows.

"At present, the Shadow Council, as an organization, may have a wider impact than individual K, but because of their style of hiding in the shadows, the impact in front of the public is very slight." The people on the stage switched the screen, " Therefore, we can investigate slowly without making a big fuss to alarm the public."

"The last extraordinary event only exists in legends..."

Following this person's voice, many pictures and written materials appeared on the projection screen.

"It is a legendary flower shop that can fulfill the wishes of customers. It is said that only those who have encountered misfortune and have strong wishes have the opportunity to see this magical flower shop..."

"And every customer who enters the flower shop will finally get a flower seed presented by the owner. When the flower seed blooms in a pious wish, it will bring blessings and good luck to the owner."

"So far, the only thing that can be used as evidence is a girl who was terminally ill but successfully cured. We wanted to take that flower for inspection, but no one except the owner of the flower could touch the petals. Others The seeds brought out from the flower shop were only ordinary flower seeds according to the inspection, and nothing special was found."

Other people in the audience whispered to each other, talking a lot, and the sound of documents flipping kept ringing out.

"Because this matter has been widely spread, we have also consciously promoted it. Many people have heard about the mysterious flower shop. There are terminally ill patients and their families in major hospitals who believe it, and there are other groups of people. , such as the disabled, family members of mentally handicapped children, etc., many people believe in this legend. We will pay close attention to those who are most likely to become customers. Once the mysterious flower shop reappears, we will receive it as soon as possible. intelligence."

……

"... Taken together, we have reason to suspect that there will be more and more supernatural events, which may mean the beginning of a new era."

"Just like in the industrial age, our Yao Kingdom seized the opportunity first, so we were able to take the lead step by step. The Morning Star Empire implemented political reforms earlier than us, and established a constitutional monarchy, but we surpassed them with a more complete and advanced system... The emergence of supernatural events It also means new opportunities that we must not miss. This may be our chance to completely surpass other countries!"

"We think it is necessary to create a special department dedicated to supernatural events, which may be the beginning of a new era."

This meeting went on for a long time.

——[Supernatural Affairs Investigation Bureau], this special department that will lead Yao country forward in the new era, was born.

And Meimei fell asleep, and Bai Yi, who didn't wake up until the sun was high at noon, was preparing today's lunch.
