"What's left behind?"
Wang Shu and Gu Beichen stared at Xu Lebala's wall. Soon, Xu Le scraped off a thick layer of the graffiti, which felt like a clay-like substance.
Below, there was a well-sealed document, and Xu Le took it out.
"It wasn't just us who wanted to run away at that time. There were others as well."
"You mean, Gu Jianuo?"
"Yes."
Xu Le opened the file bag. After he was bewitched by the puppet technique, Gu Jianuo began to gradually lose trust in him.
Perhaps just like what Xiong Zemo did to Gu Jianuo, under the puppet technique, it seems that nothing can be resisted.
In the process of joining Gu Jianuo's group, Xu Le discovered that Gu Jianuo himself was not so convinced and loyal to Xiong Zemo.
She had wanted to run away for a long time. She had her own ideas, but she was never able to resist Xiong Zemo's power.
Because of this, Gu Jianuo prepared a lot of information about Xiong Zemo.
There is information about Xiong Zemo's laboratory, his funding clients, various research projects, criminal evidence, etc.
These things are really meaningless when it comes to bringing down a district chief.
Because in addition to the difference in strength, there is also a difference in power between the two sides.
Xiong Zemo is the district chief, and Gu Jianuo is just a researcher. Although he is a very distinguished doctor, he is still meaningless compared to the district chief.
"These things are useless in Gu Jianuo's hands, but they may be of some significance to us."
"Are you going to follow the legal procedures of Lighthouse?" Ai Li frowned slightly. Although she was a good young man who enforced the law, she still felt.
If Xu Le were to take legal action against Xiong Zemo in Lighthouse, that would be really stupid.
“Of course not, these evidences and information can help us collect information about Xiong Zemo’s true body. We still have no way to determine where Xiong Zemo’s true body is.
This is the first thing to do, and then we need to formulate a plan to deal with Xiong Zemo. We will only take action if we are stable and confident.
If Xiong Zemo is assassinated successfully, these criminal evidences will become meaningful. "
At this point, Ai Li, Wang Shu and the other two already understood what Xu Le meant.
It is very difficult to bring down a living district chief using evidence and information.
Because what matters in the Dark Ages is not only power and status, but also one's own strength. Xiong Zemo's strength can be respected, so he will not fall easily.
But if he died...
Once you die, you have no value, and this is true for everyone.
For the dead, all that is left is the memories of their relatives and friends.
"Okay, each of you take one copy and collect information separately. As tourists in Zion, try not to do unnecessary things, do not do too many extraordinary actions, and do not set foot in dangerous areas. Collect as much as you can. Even if you don't have any, it doesn't matter.
The most important goal is to determine the true identity of Xiong Zemo. "
"Understood." The three received the order and went their separate ways.
Ai Li, Wang Shu and Xu Le were not too worried, but Gu Beichen was a different case.
"Gu Beichen, are you okay?"
"I used to be the captain of the Night Watch and Wang Shu's leader. What bullshit are you talking about?"
Although what Gu Beichen said was true, Xu Le was still very worried about him.
"I just want you to be careful."
Gu Beichen: …
"Can you please stop talking to me like that? I'm not used to it."
"In short, everyone needs to be careful, but don't worry too much. After all, we are from outside the city, and outsiders are generally treated preferentially in the lighthouse."
"clear."
…
The four of them acted separately. There were not many of them, but they were all elite.
If you are only investigating one person, it is sufficient.
Now they are still in the dark about the real information of Xiong Zemo.
All we know is that the usually amiable District Chief Xiong is a tall and strong man, and he should be Xiong Zemo's number one puppet.
The driver who often drove for Xiong Zemo was a thin middle-aged man. According to Xu Le's memory, this person was puppet number two.
As for whether Xiong Zemo has other puppets and who his real body is, these are things they need to confirm during this period of time.
"Alright, Ding Ke, we are also going to conduct investigations, and our target is the Upper City."
Meow! ~
After leaving the dormitory, Xu Le took the bus to the moat of the lighthouse.
I don’t know if the policy of Lighthouse has changed during this period, but now there are no buses that can go directly to the upper town.
So after arriving at the Moat Suspension Bridge Station, Xu Le got off the bus and prepared to walk across the bridge.
"Ding Ke, do you remember this place? I remember you were standing on the handrail of the bridge."
Meow! ~
Xu Le pinched the black cat's head and walked towards the moat bridge.
When he reached the bridge, Xu Le saw a man in a wheelchair. He looked troubled and seemed to be struggling.
Xu Le looked at the man in the wheelchair, then looked at Takahashi in front of him, and pinched his chin.
"One good deed a day will save you from disaster a month. Well, although I have forgotten about this for a long time, now that I am here, I should do some good deeds, don't you think?"
Meow! Ding Ke nodded in agreement.
So Xu Le walked behind the man in the wheelchair and quickly pushed him up.
"Hello? What are you doing?" The man in the wheelchair seemed a little unbalanced, and his voice became a little frightened. Because Xu Le's pace was very fast, he was more or less a little scared.
"Don't thank me, just call me **."
"No, no, I mean... I really don't need you to push me up."
"You're welcome. After doing this, I feel that the red scarf on my chest is brighter."
Meow! ~ Ding Ke also echoed.
A man and a cat pushed the man in the wheelchair in front of them and ran across the bridge.
When they reached the downhill road, the man in the wheelchair looked even more terrified.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you slow down a little? You might fall to your death!"
"Don't worry, I'm a very steady driver." Xu Le said proudly.
The two people and the cat swooped down from the high bridge at an extremely fast speed, even surpassing some private cars.
The man in the wheelchair held on to his armrests tightly, trying his best to keep his balance.
Soon, they got off the bridge.
Xu Le's physical condition is very good now, so he didn't feel tired after running this distance. After taking a breath, he said to the wheelchair man:
"Do one good deed a day, and you will avoid one disaster a month. You're welcome, please call me Red Scarf."
Man in wheelchair: …
“I don’t actually want to cross the bridge.”
Xu Le: …
He suddenly felt that he had done something stupid. He originally thought it was a good thing, but now it seems that it was definitely a stupid thing.
"Uh, you're not crossing the bridge, what are you hesitating about under the bridge?" Xu Le said a little fiercely.
"I was just wondering whether I should go over there and buy something." Facing the aggressive Xu Le, the wheelchair man seemed a little timid.
Xu Le was silent for a while.
"Okay, I'll take you back."
Not only did I not accomplish any good things, I also wasted some of my time. How stupid.
"Then, thank you for your help." The man in the wheelchair did not refuse, perhaps because it was really difficult for him to cross the bridge alone.
However, just as Xu Le was about to take the man in the wheelchair onto the bridge, the sound of a bell on the bridge came from the opposite direction.
Ding ding ding ding! ~
The suspension bridge was broken in front of Xu Le and the man in the wheelchair, and the two looked at each other in bewilderment.
The suspension bridge has been raised, and it will probably take some time before we can return to the other side. This is really awkward.
"Um, I'm really sorry for wasting your time." Xu Le said a little embarrassedly, and he no longer had the same momentum as before.
"It's okay. I'll just wait here for a while. If you're busy, go back first. I'll go back when the suspension bridge is lowered."
The wheelchair man was in a good mood and had a good attitude. He was not angry, nor did he blame Xu Le.
But this made Xu Le feel even more stupid.
"I'd better stay and wait with you. I have a lot of time anyway, and I don't have anything else to do. Besides, it would be inconvenient for you to go back alone."
"Well...thank you. Oh, by the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Xu Le, what's your name? What's your name?"
"My name is Mo Chen."
"Mo Chen..." Xu Le thought, this name sounds like the protagonist of a novel, could he be a character
Xu Le looked Mo Chen up and down.
The wheelchair has two bags hanging on the side, one of which contains some bread and vegetables, and the other bag is full of books. He looks like a scholar living alone.
"Are you alone usually?" Xu Le asked tentatively. This question was a bit impolite, but it would be better if he could contact the other person's family.
Mo Chen smiled and shook his head:
"I had a partner before, but now I'm alone."
Xu Le said "Oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
Because whether he was dumped by his girlfriend or his wife passed away, it was a huge blow to Mo Chen, who needed a wheelchair to support his life.
Continuing to talk will only hurt the other person, which is not advisable.
Xu Le felt that he was a decent person and shouldn't treat others like this.
"Actually, it's not bad to be alone. You know the thing about women. Sometimes too much is not good for the body."
Mo Chen: ?
"There are always some emotional demands and spiritual companionship in life, so if you have a partner, life will become more fun."
"Is that so... I haven't had these feelings before." Xu Le felt that he still had a few friends.
Therefore, situations such as emotional appeals are relatively rare.
"Mr. Xu Le must be a sociable person. I may be different from you. Because of work, I don't have many friends, so I don't like to socialize with others.
Most of the time, apart from work, my wife was the only one who accompanied me, but unfortunately, she left in the end. "
"I see..."
Xu Le nodded. After all the talk, he still mentioned the other party's sad story, so he decided to change the subject.
"Hey, what do you do for a living?"
“I am a community service worker, but in my spare time I also do some research that interests me, usually biological research.
Look, these are the books I bought, although some of them I never read and just left at home to gather dust.”
Mo Chen said with a smile, and Xu Le also laughed.
He used to buy books and leave them to gather dust at home. He thought buying more books would make him look cultured and studious.
"I've also dabbled in things like biological research, and buying books that collect dust... Hahaha, it seems we do have something in common, and you don't seem that boring either."
"Really? Maybe I just haven't met someone as interesting as Mr. Xu Le before."
At this time, the broadcast on the suspension bridge sounded again.
"Dear citizens, the gear of the suspension bridge has failed and the No. 1 suspension bridge in Area B is no longer usable. We will repair it as soon as possible. If you need to cross the bridge, please move to the No. 2 suspension bridge.
We sincerely regret the impact on the general public.”
After hearing the broadcast, Xu Le and Mo Chen looked at each other and then laughed at the same time.
"It's over. There's no going back."
"Um, if Mr. Xu Le has something to do, please go back first. In this situation, I can't go to the downtown area to get things."
"Hey, I was the one who cheated you in the first place, how can I just run away like this? Just tell me where you're going, and I'll take you back, right, Ding Ke?"
Meow! ~
Mo Chen glanced at the cat on Xu Le's shoulder and frowned slightly:
"Mr. Xu Le's cat is very smart. It can understand what you say and interact with you."
"That's a must. My cat is smarter than humans. Is your home in the upper city? I'll take you back."
"In that case, I'll trouble you, Mr. Xu Le."
"Small problem."
Pushing Mo Chen, Xu Le came to the vicinity of Lighthouse University.
Xu Le didn't feel very surprised, because Mo Chen himself looked like a scholar. Isn't it normal for a scholar to live near a university
Reasonable.
"Does Mr. Mo Chen live in Beacon University?"
"Yes, how did Mr. Xu Le know?"
"It's like this. When I was young, I studied abroad in Dengta for a period of time. That period was not long, but it was not short either. It left me with deep memories..."
When I was young, I was referring to one year ago. Xu Le was indeed younger one year ago than he is now. This is reasonable, right
"Mr. Xu Le looks very young. I didn't expect that he studied abroad in Lighthouse. Has he graduated?"
"Yeah, I graduated."
"It's amazing. It's a little ahead. It's probably at the location of the dormitory in the laboratory building."
"The dormitory in the experimental building!" Xu Le looked at the familiar building and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had many pleasant social experiences in this laboratory building.
For example, in the Gu Jianuo group, there was a time when we confronted the old employees head-on and taught them how to be normal people.
"Has Mr. Xu Le been here before?"
"Ah, I was actually here, and even worked here for a while."
"Have you worked here before? The academic staff in the laboratory building should all be PhDs. Mr. Xu Le is so young, has he already become a PhD?"
"Yes, I am a doctor."
Xu Le narrowed his eyes and smiled, then prepared to push Mo Chen in.
But when he reached the door, Mo Chen waved his hand:
"Mr. Xu Le, you've gone to the wrong place. This is Laboratory Building A. I live in Building B."
"Oh, the one next door?"
"yes."
Xu Le heaved a sigh of relief for some reason, and the emotions that had just been raised subsided.
When Xu Le arrived in front of Building B, he stopped and Mo Chen asked:
"Mr. Xu Le, would you like to go upstairs and sit for a while?"
Xu Le looked at the dark laboratory building in front of him, and then glanced at Mo Chen:
"OK!"
