"My original intention was just to find the truth about those two things. As for Zero's request... I have already helped her complete half of it. I'll leave it to her to complete the follow-up."
Wei Bo'an didn't catch Lu Wen's idea of giving it to Zero.
The vision of his body gradually dimmed, as if it was about to shut down.
"Where is your real body?" Lu Wen asked.
"I think you already know." Wei Boyan replied.
“But I don’t want that to be that place.”
"But a lot of times... things don't always go as planned."
Wei Boyan took out his mobile phone.
The screen lights up, showing an account on a social platform.
The account that has been posting news about the killer has now become a mecca for fans of the killer.
There is a latest news above.
[It was indeed me who set the fires in the two prisons]
The number of comments below rose to tens of thousands in just over ten minutes.
If nothing else, it has already been on the hot search list, and may even be the number one hot search topic.
The online war, which lasted for a whole week, ended with the murderer confessing his crime.
However, many people still think that this account may be controlled by the Executive Bureau, which sent this confession message in the name of the murderer.
So they were all waiting for the killer to send messages using a new account.
"This feeling is very interesting. When I was in the executive bureau, even after I became the chief executive, I worked from morning to night every day, but I still didn't get a word from ordinary people. As long as there is a problem with an executive, those people will Elevate the matter to the entire executive bureau, and all executive officers will be scolded."
Wei Boyan smiled and his voice gradually became quieter.
"But now that I have become a murderer, I just did a few right things and gained a large number of fans. Many people even know that I started the prison fire and that I was responsible for the escape of the prisoners. I am still unswervingly support me… "
After saying that, his head hung down.
Wei Boyan's real body controlled this body to shut down from a distance.
It's nine o'clock in the evening.
A huge yacht is sailing on the distant sea, with bright lights, and some holographic fish are swimming slowly in the night sky around the yacht.
Lu Wen knew where Wei Bo'an's real body might be, but just to be on the safe side, he still called Feng Fugui.
"Sir Feng, have you arrested the people from Hanjiang Company?"
"Not yet. The evidence is still being collected. The company seems to have noticed something. The progress has been quite slow this week."
As expected, the real culprit is still at large.
Moreover, they had received help from former chief Du Changqing, and many clues were difficult to trace.
"It seems that there is a high probability that they will not survive tonight." Lu Wen sighed. From here, it takes fifteen minutes to reach the location of Hanjiang Company.
During this period, Wei Boyan can do a lot of things.
"What happened? The murderer did it again?" Feng Fugui asked.
"It should have started already."
Lu Wen hung up the phone.
He picked up the android body of Wei Boyan in front of him and threw it into the car.
A white note fell from the android's hand.
Lu Wen picked it up and looked at it.
A very famous poem.
Written by Yeats.
This was the last time Wei Boan left a clue for Lu Wen.
[When you get old, your hair turns gray, and you become sleepy]
Are you remembering the woman who died of cancer in prison
Lu Wen was driving in the brightly lit night of the 15th District, and the light blue lights were like gentle waves lapping on the car.
The reflections of street lamps flashed across the car windows.
Only fifteen minutes away, the car traveled between light and shadow, not very fast.
Lu Wen didn't know many human beings, and most of them were in a hostile or rival relationship. Wei Boyan was an alternative, and this person always gave people a feeling that he was not too serious.
But many people who are not serious actually once had a serious side.
Fifteen minutes later, the vehicle stopped outside an old-fashioned building near the sea.
Three stories high.
The dusty cement exterior is incompatible with the era of rapid development outside.
This is the headquarters of Hanjiang Company.
Various boats docked on the coast, gently undulating with the water in the night.
[piano sound]
The soft sound of piano came from inside the building.
A very familiar tune, a song adapted from that poem.
Wei Bo'an can also play the piano. According to the information collected by Lu Wen, Wei Bo'an's parents are both engaged in the music industry, a very romantic family. As expected, he should grow into a great musician, in the spotlight and with people. He grew up in praise and married his beloved woman.
But in the end, he chose to carry heavy weapons on his back, put on thick armor, and walk on the line of life and death every day.
As he said, things never go as planned.
"Lu Wen!"
Feng Fugui shouted from afar, and he also drove over.
This old executive is busy every day and works harder than the young people. In this short week, the wrinkles on his face have deepened a lot.
"Where is Chief Wei? Isn't he with you?" Feng Fugui asked.
"He must be inside." Lu Wen said.
"He has already gone in?" Feng Fugui was stunned. "If the murderer is also inside and is hiding in secret, wouldn't it be..."
He suddenly froze.
According to the existing rules, when going to unknown and dangerous places, the androids should be allowed to take the lead.
But now, Lu Wen is outside and Wei Boyan has entered the building.
There seems to be only one answer.
"Chief Wei... is he the murderer?"
"Um."
Surprised, puzzled, incredible.
Many words can be used to describe Feng Fugui's mood at this moment.
He looked at the building in front of him, where the soothing piano sound was still playing. After all, he was an experienced old executive. In just a moment, he understood a lot of things.
"No wonder... no wonder the murderer is always one step ahead of us. It turns out..."
The murderer is always with them.
"Sir Feng, please wait outside for a while. I'll go in and take a look. I'll call you if there's no danger." Lu Wen said.
"I'll go in with you." Feng Fugui shook his head.
At his age, life and death are relatively indifferent.
"Okay, I'll go in front."
According to the system's judgment, the piano sound came from the third floor.
The first and second floors of this building were dark, with only the third floor having a faint light.
"By the way, Wei Bo'an has already admitted through that account that he set the fire. Now public opinion on the Internet is beginning to favor the Executive Directorate. This is a good phenomenon."
People began to denounce the wandering poet, although they did not know who the murderer was and what his purpose was.
Many people have requested the Executive Directorate to arrest the murderer as soon as possible and make his true identity known to the public.
"It smells of gasoline." Feng Fugui suddenly pulled Lu Wen.
The two just walked into the first floor.
Lu Wen stretched out his left hand, and a bright light shot out from the palm of his hand.
The interior decoration of the building is very good, which is in sharp contrast to the old appearance.
The innermost part is where the tickets are sold.
There are many posters hanging on the left and right walls, all related to boat rentals and promotions.
On the far left is the staircase going up.
"A lot of gasoline was poured on the wall, as well as on both sides of the ground. Only the stairs were clean." Lu Wen judged: "Wei Boyan knew we would come, but he didn't want to kill us... In other words, he left it for himself An escape route?"
Lu Wen once again persuaded Feng Fugui to wait outside.
Once a fire breaks out, it will be difficult for the old executive's body to bear it.
"It's okay. After living for so many years, I have experienced everything I have to experience. I have no regrets. As for the will... I had already written it the day I entered the industry."
Feng Fugui is very free and easy.
Lu Wen wanted to knock him out.
But I thought about it again. This old man has been in the Executive Bureau all his life. Maybe this is the last big case he solved before retiring. If he is knocked unconscious and carried out now, he will definitely leave a lot of regrets in his heart. This Regret will accompany him throughout his life until the day he dies.
The two of them walked cautiously up the dim corridor.
The light in Lu Wen's palm was the only light source.
They try not to get contaminated by the surrounding gasoline.
The sound of piano in my ears is getting closer and closer.
third floor.
This is a warehouse.
Large and small cardboard boxes, abandoned wooden boats, dusty furniture, rusty scaffolding, rolls of posters scattered on the floor and... an old piano.
Dim yellow lights swayed gently on the roof.
Wei Boyan sat in front of the piano, moving his fingers together to press each black and white key skillfully.
He didn't seem to notice the arrival of the two people, and just concentrated on playing.
"Chief Wei, why did you do this?" Feng Fugui still had many doubts in his heart.
Given Wei Bo'an's status, if he wanted to re-investigate the case back then and reveal some unknown things, he could do it openly.
Why become that wandering poet
"If you want to defeat the darkness, you can only merge into the darkness." Wei Bo'an looked calm and quoted a very classic saying.
"But if the light is strong enough, all darkness will be invisible." Lu Wen retorted.
"That's the problem. The light you talk about... isn't strong enough."
"Nothing is strong from the start."
If there was a debate, Lu Wen could debate it all day.
"I found that you didn't learn any of Xia Chuluo's advantages, but inherited all his shortcomings. That little girl is also very talkative, and most people can't talk about him." Wei Boyan said.
"Perhaps shortcomings are more contagious." Lu Wen replied.
"Yes, so darkness is actually easier to spread." Wei Boyan said with a faint smile.
Lu Wen was startled.
In just two or three sentences, Wei Boyan gained the upper hand in the argument.
This middle-aged man is far smarter than he looks.
“When I first became the director of the Executive Bureau, I was very ambitious and wanted to carry out reforms and overturn all the unjust, false and wrongful cases one by one, so I found out many controversial cases from that year, and finally found that... I was still too naive at the time. "
If those old events are revealed one by one, the entire Mowu City will become chaotic.
Businessmen, politicians, economists, educators…
Countless celebrities have been implicated in those past events.
It was like a huge spider web covering the dark sky over the city, tightly binding everyone together.
"A single move can affect the whole body?" Feng Fugui figured out the key point of the matter.
