Lu Zexuan didn't believe that Leonard would "fall". A person like Leonard who is afraid of death must be very careful about his life. When the giant beast attacked the human base, he hid secretly and transferred all the sentries of the base to protect him; he spent a high price to introduce the most advanced treatment cabin because he was worried that something might happen to him.
How could such a person "fall from a building"
Leonard was not the type to be careless and fall down. He was afraid of death and was very cautious. Moreover, it was a place he was very familiar with at work. This "accidental fall" was really too bizarre.
Lu Zexuan looked at Yu Ran thoughtfully and asked, "You grew up here. What do you think of Leonard?"
Yu Ran looked bewildered, as if he was frightened by the shocking news that "the commander fell from the building". It was not until Lu Zexuan's voice reached his ears that he came back to his senses and said hesitantly: "I don't know much about Commander Leonard, and I haven't had much contact with him... He always seemed kind and used to visit the school to comfort the students."
Just at this time, Moore changed his clothes and came out. Hearing the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but wonder: "What happened to Leonard?"
Lu Zexuan said bluntly: "Dead."
Moore: “…”
Moore saw him when he left the hospital this morning. How could a healthy person die so suddenly? Moore rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly, "This is troublesome. If I remember correctly, Leonard is a Class B Sentinel, and his uncle... seems to be a member of Congress, right?"
Lu Zexuan nodded expressionlessly: "Yeah."
Yu Ran asked curiously, "Didn't you say that if you fall from a building, there will be trouble?"
Moore looked at Yu Ran and explained, "No matter what the cause of his death was, the investigation department will definitely come to investigate. After all, he was a Class B sentry and a base official. Plus his uncle's relationship... the base will probably be blocked soon. Even if the Guide Association comes to pick you up, you can't leave today."
The Investigation Division, whose full name is “Federal Sentinel and Guide Special Case Investigation Division”, is an independent and powerful agency.
80% of humans are ordinary people who have not evolved special abilities. The public security management of this part of the people is the responsibility of the "Federal Police Department"; but the Evolved Ones are different. It is easy for them to kill ordinary people. If the Sentinels use special abilities to fight, or the Guides use mental power to control the people, the whole society will be in chaos. Therefore, in order to restrain the Evolved Ones and maintain social order, the Federation has specially established an "Investigation Department" to investigate cases related to the Evolved Ones.
The chief of the investigation department is Zhu Tianyi, an S-class sentinel. His spiritual body is a giant black spider. The "spiritual body shared ability" he evolved can release a large amount of spider silk to trap people. It is said that no one can break through his spider web.
This man has an iron fist and has caught many criminal Sentinel Guides in recent years, so he is very intimidating among the Evolvers.
He is always busy, so he shouldn't come here in person, right? Thinking of the black spider, Yu Ran felt a little disgusted, but on the surface he remained calm and looked at Moore and said, "If the base is blocked, should we notify the people from the Guide Association and ask them to come a few days later?"
Moore said, "It's okay, they're already on their way." He patted Yu Ran's shoulder as if to comfort her, "Don't worry, this incident won't have much impact on you. The people from the Investigation Department will just ask a few routine questions at most, and they'll let you go once they're sure there's no problem."
"Let's go to the scene first." Lu Zexuan interrupted their conversation, "Moir, come with me."
Moore followed Lu Zexuan, walked two steps and looked back at Yu Ran: "Ran Ran, go to my room and rest first. Captain Lu and I will go out for a while."
"OK."
After turning around and leaving, Lu Zexuan suddenly asked in a deep voice: "You seem to trust this Yu Ran?"
Moore said: "Yu Ran's experience is very similar to mine. I lost my parents when I was 16 and went to the Guide Association alone. I have seen some memories in his mental picture and felt his painful emotions... I just feel sorry for him."
Lu Zexuan reminded: "Memories are not necessarily true. I heard that S-level guides can create mental illusions to confuse others."
Moore smiled and shook his head: "Of course I know that memories can be faked, but emotions in the spiritual world are difficult to fake. The painful emotions I felt in Yu Ran's mental picture were very clear and real, and it was impossible to fake it. He did lose his parents and has been sad about it. There is no doubt about that."
Lu Zexuan: “…Really?”
Of course, the guide knows the guide better. So, am I overthinking it
Moore looked at the sentry beside him in confusion: "Why, do you doubt his origins?"
Lu Zexuan said bluntly: "I once smelled a very similar scent of guide element on the capital planet. I always felt that it was familiar."
Moore said: "Similar tastes don't necessarily mean they are exactly the same, right?"
Lu Zexuan did not deny it. It had been so long, and he was not sure if the smell he had smelled five years ago was exactly the same as the guide element he had smelled in the rainstorm last night. Moreover, his friend had given him detailed information about the 494th prom, and there were no suspicious guides who had attended the prom that year.
All the evidence points to Yu Ran being an innocent little guide who was born on a deserted planet and just awakened last month.
However, the sentinel's damn intuition still prevented Lu Zexuan from completely putting aside his doubts.
Lu Zexuan said nothing more and quickened his pace towards the crime scene.
The office building in the center of the base was ten stories high, and some people gathered around, pointing and talking. Leonard's body was lying in a pool of blood. He fell from a height, his head hitting the ground, his skull completely shattered, and even his brain burst out - he died so quickly that even the treatment cabin couldn't save him.
After taking control of the scene, Lu Zexuan and Moore returned to the Falcon starship. A small spaceship landed from the air and docked next to the Falcon starship. The spaceship was engraved with an exquisite silver-white wreath, which was the emblem unique to the Guide Association.
A woman in a white dress walked down from the spaceship with great grace. After meeting Lu Zexuan's gaze, she smiled and extended her hand to him: "General Lu, long time no see."
Lu Zexuan greeted politely: "Joseph, long time no see."
The woman asked enthusiastically, "How have you thought about my last proposal? After returning to the capital planet, do you want to try to contact the guide that the association helped you match?"
Lu Zexuan said calmly: "I am not considering getting married for the time being, thank you for your concern."
The woman turned her gaze to More, "What about Doctor More? Would you like to consider joining the association's matching queue? I will definitely help you find a Sentinel that suits your heart."
Moore adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and repeated with a smile: "I am not considering getting married for the time being. Thank you for your concern."
The Josephs secretly rolled their eyes.
As the human resources director of the Guide Association and the director of the Sentinel Guide Matching Center, she really cares about these single guys.
Unfortunately, Lu Zexuan, the stubborn sentinel, had no interest in any guide information she sent him, and insisted on remaining single based on his strength. And Moore, with a gentle appearance of no desires, a pure heart and a calm mind, almost became a vegetarian.
The Joseph looked at them and reluctantly changed the subject: "Where is the guide who just awakened?"
Moore showed her the way considerately: "I'll take you there right away."
At this time, Yu Ran was in the room thinking about something. When he heard the knock on the door, he stood up and opened the door himself.
I saw a middle-aged woman with a friendly smile standing at the door. Her golden hair was tied up in a beautiful bun at the back of her head. She wore a red gemstone necklace around her neck, which made her skin look as white as snow and her temperament was extraordinary. Next to her was a ragdoll cat, whose snow-white fur looked fluffy and soft, and whose round eyes were as blue as the sky, very cute.
A Joseph from the Guide Association, her husband is the commander of the Sun Corps, one of the few three-star generals in the Federation. She herself is also very capable, an A-level guide, and she founded the free "Sentinel Mental Counseling" clinic every weekend, so she is very prestigious among the Evolvers.
She actually came in person
Yu Ran pretended to look at her in confusion and asked Moore behind her: "Who is this?"
Moore introduced her, "She is the personnel director of the Guide Association, Joseph. After hearing about your situation, she came to pick you up in person."
Yu Ran asked politely, "Hello, Madam."
Joseph carefully looked at the boy in front of him. He was wearing simple trousers and a sweater. Although he was a little thin, his frame was well-proportioned and his figure was very slender. The boy's facial features were very delicate, especially his special eyes. The right eye was black, and the left eye was red - the pupil was like the most beautiful ruby.
Heterochromic eyes? This was the first time she had seen a guide with heterochromic eyes. They were so pretty. Joseph held Yu Ran's hand with shining eyes: "Your name is Yu Ran, right? Moore has already told me about you. You are such a poor child... It doesn't matter. From now on, the Guide Association is your home. We will take good care of you."
Yu Ran lowered her head obediently: "Thank you, ma'am."
The Joseph looked at Lu Zexuan and said, "I'll take him back right away. I've already made arrangements for the capital planet."
Lu Zexuan said: "I'm afraid you can't leave today."
Moore explained: "It's like this, there was an accident at the base, and a sentry officer fell to his death. According to regulations, no one can leave until the matter is investigated clearly."
The Josephs widened their eyes: "An official fell from a building? What does this have to do with us, Yu Ran?"
She paused, looked at Yu Ran and asked, "Were you at the scene when that official fell from the building?"
Yu Ran shook his head: "Not here."
He glanced at Lu Zexuan and said, "The general and I were in the hospital at the time. The general can testify to this."
Lu Zexuan: "... I can indeed testify for you."
So, without realizing it, I had become Yu Ran's best "alibi" witness
