"Sigh, eh? That flowed so smoothly!" Zhu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim after sighing. Just then, her phone suddenly rang. It was someone calling her. "Hello? What's up with you today? You actually have time to call me in the middle of the day?"
After seeing who the caller was, Zhu Yuan was a bit surprised, because in her memory, the other party's daytime schedule was always very tight. And Hoshimi Miyabi on the other end also spoke unhurriedly.
"Hello. I'm looking back at our graduation yearbook."
"Suddenly flipping through the graduation yearbook at a time like this? You're not doing some weird training again, are you?" Hearing the other party's words, Zhu Yuan immediately thought, so Hoshimi Miyabi would even train in front of her classmates when she was in school. The result was naturally as she had expected.
"Mmm. I am currently undergoing the training of recalling the names of all the students in the grade based on their photos. By the way, do you still remember the graduation message you wrote to me? 'May you become a person who seeks true justice, and a sharp sword of law enforcement that cuts through the evil night sky above the city.'"
"W-wait a minute... Don't read it out so loudly! There are other people next to you, right?" At this moment, Zhu Yuan felt as if her sense of shame was about to explode. Her own chuunibyou words from the past were being read out so loudly by an old classmate. This feeling of social death was just like having someone go through your chat app statuses from your younger years. Fortunately, it hadn't reached the point of being publicly exposed.
"Sorry. But I'm very interested in this sentence. What is the difference between your so-called 'true justice' and 'ordinary justice'? Is it like the difference between a real melon and a melon-flavored lollipop?"
"This..." Zhu Yuan fell into deep thought upon hearing Hoshimi Miyabi's sudden question, but the latter did not stop there.
"Even though many people say they can't taste the difference, and the melons I buy are often not sweet, I still prefer real melons. Just like you pursue true justice, a melon is a melon, and it will never become fake."
Hearing the other party say this much, Zhu Yuan instantly understood. "Ha, are you trying to encourage me? Thanks. Wait, how did even you in H.A.N.D. know about me being disciplined by the bureau?"
Zhu Yuan realized the problem. Hoshimi Miyabi then explained. "Because of the case where Belobog Heavy Industries discovered the monster, it has now been handed over to Anti-Hollow Division 6. My intelligence officer reminded me that we might need you to come over to our place recently to provide some detailed information."
"The thing was handed over to you? So there really is a problem with that thing!"
"Yes. I called to tell you about this. We found fragments of some kind of mask-like artificial object in the remains of the monster. And in that thing, we extracted residual human DNA." Hearing this, Zhu Yuan was a bit shocked, and then continued to ask, "You already know the identity of the monster in that monument?"
"Unfortunately, besides being able to tell from the DNA that the deceased was a male, we have compared it with the DNA of all recorded missing persons and criminals in the entire city and have not found any matching records. So it's also possible that the deceased was a person from outside the city without an identity... But what do you think?"
Hoshimi Miyabi's counter-question had the air of Judge Dee asking, "Yuanfang, what do you think?"
"Since the culprit was willing to enter the Hollow to snatch the evidence at all costs, there must be some secret about the deceased. At the very least, he wouldn't be a nobody." Zhu Yuan analyzed based on the existing information. And Hoshimi Miyabi on the other end also agreed with her view, but for now, this was all they could find out.
Afterward, the two agreed on a time to meet in a few days and then hung up the phone. Zhu Yuan put away her phone and turned to look at Qingyi at her side. "Senior, I've kept you waiting."
Zhu Yuan didn't avoid Qingyi when she was on the phone, so the latter heard the conversation between the two clearly. "From the snippets of conversation just now, it seems there's been progress in the evidence investigation over at H.A.N.D.?"
"Mmm, there's a key discovery, but the unsolved mysteries have also increased. Anyway, let's get in the car first. We'll talk about the specific situation as we go." The two then got in the car and left.
And that night, in the meeting room of a certain detention center in the Janus District Public Security Bureau, Perlman, who was here, also welcomed his former secretary...
The specific situation won't be detailed much. Late at night, after eating out with Belle, Wise and his team returned to the video store.
"How was it? After a hot pot meal, you're finally satisfied, right?" Wise looked at Belle in front of him. The other party was rubbing her slightly bulging little belly and finally said with a happy face, "Satisfied, satisfied."
"Sigh, you ate so much. I was afraid you were going to throw up on the way back."
...(Content Deleted)... Belle's words were suggestive. And Wise, seeing this, was also a bit helpless. Ever since they confirmed their relationship, his own sister seemed to be getting more and more (fill in the blank).
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's rest soon. Also, if Belle doesn't feel like it today, then I..."
"What do you mean, 'feel like it'? Brother, hurry up and come to sleep!" Belle had already gotten into bed at some point and was urging Wise to hurry up and get in.
The next morning, after getting up, Wise went to the 1st floor to tidy up the videotapes. Because in a few days, it would be the official start of the Vista demolition case trial, he also prepared a blank videotape, planning to record it at that time. After all, this was a rare highlight moment for Nicole.
Speaking of which, there seemed to be a special program today called "Preview of the Public Hearing of the Vista Demolition Case." Although he didn't know what it was like, he might as well watch it. As soon as he sat down, Belle followed him over and, at the same time, put her feet on his lap without any regard for her image.
Watching the news broadcast on TV, it was still that familiar host who liked to swear. But what concerned Wise even more was the huge airship behind him. If he remembered correctly, this thing seemed to have crashed in the end. The specific reason seemed to be because of Perlman. In any case, he should remind Nicole more about it later.
And speaking of the devil, just as Wise was thinking of sending a message on his phone to remind her, Nicole rushed into the video store with Anby in a hurry.
"Anby, how do you have the key to Wise's house? Forget it, let's not talk about this first! Phaethon!" Nicole no longer had the mind to care about those insignificant little things. And Wise, seeing her appearance and her act of calling him by his industry name, instantly guessed that she must have something to find him for.
"Anby and Nicole, why are you here? I thought you were supposed to take the airship to the Supreme Court of Justice today?"
"That was supposed to be the case... but I think there's something I still need to find you for. Otherwise, I'll be restless in court!" Nicole then also explained the situation. It turned out to be about that hacker, Wrench.
