Throne of Radiance

The appearance of the interview invitation letter did not bring much impact or change to Tian Yin's life for the time being.

On the surface, she is still the freshman at Imperial University who just entered school, attending classes and studying in the library as usual every day, and observing everyone around her attentively.

The only difference from before is that she would leave school during her spare time breaks and go shopping around the imperial capital.

During this process, she silently observed and recorded.

Time passed without knowing it for a month.

This day is a compulsory math class.Tian Yin came neither early nor late, there was still some time before class.

Under normal circumstances, the atmosphere before math class is always dull and boring, but Tian Yin noticed that the atmosphere today was much more lively than before. Many students held their mobile phones and gathered together to whisper and whisper.

This made Tian Yin who had just entered the door a little puzzled.

"...Are you really dead? Hey, the shallow water of the artificial lake can still drown people?"

"It seems to be an old man, maybe he is old and his physical strength is not good..."

"Isn't it just an accident?"

"It's not that simple. Doesn't it mean that the old man's history is not innocent? I think he might have murdered him..."

Sporadic sounds entered Tian Yin's ears.Only then did she vaguely realize what a murder had happened.

When she wants to listen more carefully...

"Tiantian, here, here!" Her lively roommate Yu Xiao stood up from the row behind and waved wildly at her.

After Tian Yin sat down next to her, Yu Xiaocai asked mysteriously, "Did you read today's news?"

Without waiting for her to answer, Yu Xiao continued like beans poured out of a bamboo tube: "Last Wednesday, someone drowned to death in Beidao Park, because there was no one nearby and there was no monitoring. After the forensic examination, it was concluded that drowning and death He overdosed on drugs in his body when he was young, and it may be because of this reason that he drowned in such a shallow lake, after all, he was already confused."

"However, the suspicion of homicide cannot be ruled out. Later, when the police investigated, they found that the old man who died was a drug addict. They also investigated his social connections and caught many friends who had been addicted to drugs for a long time..."

Speaking of this, Yu Xiao stopped to take a big sip of water, and then continued: "This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the police found clues in this addict's home and the contact on his mobile phone The method actually directly found a guy who sells drugs, and from this guy all the way to his upline, and finally directly brought in a drug gang! The development of this plot is absolutely amazing!"

She said it happily, quite like an ancient storyteller: "—No one dares to write like this in novels!"

"Beidao Park?" Tian Yin didn't seem to hear what she said later, but just repeated the place name thoughtfully, "Last Wednesday, did an old man die?"

"That's right, that's what it said in the news." Yu Xiao directly clicked on the news on the phone and put it in front of Tian Yin.

She suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Ah, by the way, last month, Tiantian, did you often exercise in Beidao Park? I remember that you didn't go there until last week, right? Listen to the news According to the newspaper, that old man is a cleaner in Beidao Park, maybe you have seen him in Beidao Park!"

At this time, on the clicked news, a photo of the old man has been released. Although the key parts are covered by mosaics, Tian Yin still recognizes this familiar face through other features. After all, it is a face that he has seen for a month. Face.

At this moment, her eyes were frozen with shock, and she looked a little strange.

But the next moment, she reacted.

"Well, I have indeed seen it." Tian Yin nodded, her tone seemed surprised and natural, "He often sweeps the floor where I exercise. However, I never thought that this guy is actually a drug addict .”

Yu Xiao had no doubts about her shocking reaction at that moment, because anyone would be surprised by such a thing.Who would have thought that an old man who sweeps the floor has been taking drugs for a long time, and after he died, he could dig out clues of drug dealers from him?

She just said in a rejoicing tone: "It's a good thing you didn't exercise in Beidao Park last week! You don't have to be afraid of falling into the lake, who can drown in such a shallow water level? The terrible thing is that there are hidden treasures there." Looking at a drug addict, who knows what drug addicts will do when they are addicted to drugs! If you were there on Wednesday, Tiantian, you might be in danger."

There was also a look of fear on Tian Yin's face.

She explained: "You also know that I am curious about everything when I come to the Imperial Capital for the first time. I heard that the scenery of Beidao Park is very beautiful, so I went to see it every day for a month, but now, I am tired of seeing the same scenery for a long time. gone."

"Yes, yes, there are many interesting and beautiful places in the imperial capital." As a native of the imperial capital, Yu Xiao puffed up her chest proudly, and assured her, "Beidao Park is nothing, where do you want to go next time? I can be your guide."

"...Then let's talk about it."

While the two were chatting and laughing, the class broadcast sounded.

The previously noisy classroom was completely quiet.Even those who wanted to chat with classmates and friends next to them consciously and silently took out their mobile phones and communicated under the table.

University teachers are different from middle school teachers. As long as students do not affect classroom discipline, some teachers are not too harsh.Therefore, the last few rows have become a good fishing spot for students.

The place Yu Xiao chose was very suitable for fishing.

Tian Yin silently took out her mobile phone from under the table.

She has always been a serious study person on weekdays, but the news she learned today made it difficult for her to maintain that focus. She just wanted to figure out the whole story.

Although she knew that if she listened carefully to the class as usual, her performance would be more perfect and flawless.But after all, human beings are not creatures completely controlled by reason. At this moment, impulsive emotion dominates her.

She clicked on the news page.

Sure enough, everything was as Yu Xiao recounted.Below the hot news, the number of comments is still growing.

[? ? ?What kind of sand sculpture news is this?Catch an entire drug ring because of the accidental drowning death of a junkie?When those members of the drug gang were arrested, they must have "died with peace in their eyes", right? ]

[Drug gang: I never thought that I would be exposed for this reason.Tired, destroy it. ]

[Anyway, well done, hehehe. ]

[Speaking of which, is this incident really an accident?Could it be that this guy offended someone who was killed and silenced?Isn't there often a similar plot in the movie?Offended the gang boss, tied a stone and sank into the sea or something.This is a lake anyway, and it can be regarded as a sea, so it is a sinking lake? ]

［23333 The gods sink into the lake!The lake is so shallow that it is said that even a ten-year-old child would not be able to drown here.I remember that a child fell off the year before last. At that time, the adults on the bank rushed over and prepared to plunge in to save him. But the child slammed his hands on the rocks on the bank, and the whole person stood firm in the lake. .He, straight, pick up, stand, steady!At that time, someone took a video and posted it on the Internet, which made me laugh so hard! ]

[Then this guy's death is even more wrong. ]

[Especially after his death, the police actually found clues to the drug dealer directly from him, and even brought out the entire criminal gang. Are the current drug dealers so careless?I don't know why, but I always feel like everything is arranged by coincidence. ]

[Didn't it mean that he was confused by drugs? ]

[Maybe someone gave him an injection. ]

[emmm, have you watched too many movies upstairs?How can there be such a bizarre plot in reality? ]

[Yes, it was arranged by me.I have already secretly dispatched my underlings to watch this guy's every move, investigate his interpersonal relationships, and then take advantage of him cleaning the park every day to have someone inject him with overdose of drugs, and put all the clues pointing to drug dealers It was placed at his home in advance... Finally, under my careful arrangement, the addict accidentally drowned, and the police successfully wiped out the gang.Hahaha, the legendary crouching dragon and phoenix chick are here! ]

[At this point, I have to tell the truth.In fact, your father and I have a deep hatred with him. My son, your actions are all guided by my father in secret.Now I have to say, son, well done! ]

With the appearance of sand sculpture netizens, the rhythm of the comments was directly deviated, and it went in a strange direction all the way.

Tian Yin silently exited the page, and the phone screen went black.

Maybe these netizens are just talking nonsense, and they don't even believe what they say.But only she knew that some people's guesses were close to the truth.

In fact, as one of the participants, Tian Yin herself is also in the dark, and it is still difficult to see the whole picture of the incident.But she can conclude that this matter is related to the Shadow Council.Even, it was the hand of the Shadow Council.

——She already knew that the organization she joined was called the Shadow Council.And she is even just an intern at the bottom, and all the members collectively call themselves "people in the shadows".

She lied to Yu Xiao before.

In the past month, Tian Yin did not go to Beidao Park for exercise, but received an internship task.

This task is very simple, but it also made her puzzled for a while.That is to go to Beidao Park on time every day, exercise in a designated place-now she already knows, that place is the site that the drowning old man is responsible for cleaning-and pay attention to everyone around, and report what she sees Wen reported back to the Shadow Council in the form of records, including everyone she met in North Island Park.

Tian Yin thought this was just a training for the interns, to cultivate her ability to hide herself and observe others, so she tried her best to observe everyone seriously.

Of course, this includes the cleaner's appearance, age, commute time on weekdays, the area he likes to clean, his habit of fishing and laziness, and the habit of the other party frequently taking out an unknown cigarette from his pocket. There is also the occasional body trembling that seems to have the characteristics of certain diseases, and the hobby of flirting with middle-aged women...

Tian Yin almost wrote down everyone around her in the observation record, with a devout learning attitude.To that end, she even bought books on microexpressions and psychology to read.

But she never thought that just one month later, one of her observation subjects had such an accident—obviously, this could never be just an accident!

"If this guy is the target of the Shadow Council, then I may have only provided some negligible help in this operation. After all, I am just a novice, so the simple observation task is at best a training for me. There should be more experienced Some members are in charge of conducting more in-depth investigations, some are in charge of designing plans, and some are in charge of action..." Tian Yin thought silently, unconsciously building a vague outline of a huge organization in her mind, "I don't know if doctors are in the organization or not. What kind of position is it..."

Just then, her phone vibrated slightly.

On the lit screen, another text message appeared.

[Practice task 2...]

Tian Yin skillfully deleted the text message, and silently cast her gaze out of the window. At this time, the sky was just right, and the bright and bright sunshine spread over the entire university campus, causing a layer of golden ripples to appear in the blue sea of ​​trees in the distance.

The imperial capital in the early morning is bathed in sunlight, and it looks so vibrant and brilliant.

But she seemed to see a shadow descending silently, spreading under the bright light, swallowing the shadows of countless people until they turned into the shadows of the entire city.

"This is really...it couldn't be better."
