Chapter 46 The Murderer
On the way back.
Banners commemorating Dai Ming hang all over the streets of Beiqiao.
The people considered him a hero.
That's because they don't know the truth.
Gao Chen suddenly felt sad for these people.
I wonder what the scene will be like on the streets after the inspection team announces the truth.
The motorcycle drove directly to the door of the unit building and saw the girl wearing a white skirt, who had been waiting there for a long time.
"looking for me?"
Gao Chen parked the car and took off his helmet, only to find the girl walking over, holding a heavy bag in her hand, as if it contained a lot of things.
The girl hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Say it."
Gao Chen put his helmet on the seat bag and waited quietly for her to speak.
"Can't say it here."
Mengxiangjun's arm holding Bao tightened: "Let's talk at your house."
"Do you have to tell my family?"
Gao Chen felt baffled, but something seemed wrong with the girl.
Especially the look in his eyes was different from the arrogant one in the past. It was a little confused, or perhaps it would be better to describe it as confused.
In short, Meng-classmate is very strange today.
Gao Chen said helplessly: "Okay, then come to my house and talk."
The two went upstairs.
The boy walked in front, followed by the girl, always keeping two steps away.
On the third floor, Gao Chen unlocked the door and entered.
"I just mopped the floor yesterday, remember to change into slippers before coming in."
Gao Chen threw her a pair of slippers.
He bought it a long time ago. He couldn't remember how long he bought it or how long he kept it.
The door closes.
Meng put on his slippers and walked into the living room.
"Say it."
Gao Chen spread his hands and joked: "There are only two of us in this room now. Even if you want to do something else, no one can see it."
Unexpectedly, Classmate Meng was unexpectedly lifeless when faced with the teasing, and instead showed a slightly wary and frightened expression. Normally, he would have raised his hand and slapped her.
"Well, let's talk about something."
Gao Chen didn't have time to spend with her, he would have to learn about the Leicester Group from the inspection team later. Today's attack is probably related to them.
Meng sat on the sofa and put her bag between her snow-white thighs.
She opened the zipper of the bag and took out something wrapped in a white towel. If she looked carefully, she could see red through the gaps.
"what is that?"
"Shouldn't you be the one to tell me this..."
The girl said in a weak voice. She opened the towel, and a red unicorn lay there, with black cracks all over it.
"Kaito Drive?"
Seeing this thing, Gao Chen was stunned for a moment, then acted unusually calm.
He knew this thing would be discovered sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
The slippers made a sound as they stepped on the floor. Gao Chen walked to the coffee table and said expressionlessly: "So, you already know this?"
Classmate Meng was stunned. Then he stood up and said, "Are you really that folk knight?"
The last trace of luck the girl had in her heart was completely shattered at this moment.
The boy I had known since childhood was actually the folk knight, a criminal knight wanted by the whole city.
Gao Chen knew that this matter would definitely not be hidden.
He slowly approached the sofa.
The girl was afraid that her legs would weaken, so she fell on the sofa and shrank to a corner.
She picked up the pillow and said, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to know, I was just curious. Can you please leave me a way to survive for my father's sake..."
Gao Chen suddenly smiled: "Meng Meng, you don't have to be like this. I don't eat people."
Meng classmate seemed to realize that no matter what, the other party would never do it at home.
She sat up straight and covered her long white legs with a pillow. After thinking for a long time, she suppressed her words: "You, how can you prove that you are a folk knight?"
A silver driver appeared out of thin air in Gao Chen's hand and threw it directly on the sofa.
"Do you want me to transform and show you?"
"No... no need."
Meng knows that if you follow the plot in the movie, the more you know, the faster you will die.
"Okay, you've finished asking, it's my turn to ask."
Gao Chen opened the stool opposite the coffee table, sat down with his legs crossed, and said with a serious expression: "How did you discover it?"
Meng Xiangjun immediately told him the whole thing from beginning to end, in detail. In short, it was a process from when he entered the Meng family's study to when the task force searched his house.
"That's how things are." After Meng explained, he looked at the frowning young man opposite and whispered, "Then can I leave now?"
It was the first time that Gao Chen heard classmate Meng speak to him in such a polite tone, and he felt a little uncomfortable inside.
"You want to leave now? You haven't mentioned this to anyone, have you?" Gao Chen continued to ask: "Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng, don't they know?"
Meng Xiangjun said quickly: "My father and mother don't know. I am the only one who knows about this matter. Don't bother them."
Gao Chen couldn't help laughing. He put down his crossed legs, held the tea machine in his hand and said with a smile, "Meng Meng, there's no need for this. I'm not a big evil person."
"Aren't you considered a villain for going against the Knight Foundation?" The fear on Meng's face disappeared, and she said seriously: "They are looking for you all over the city now, and your posters are posted everywhere. If you are caught, You will definitely be sentenced to a felony."
"Yes, you should talk to me in this tone." Gao Chen returned to his serious tone and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be used to you being so polite all of a sudden."
Meng immediately shrank back. She almost forgot that Gao Chen was no longer the young boy he was before, but a criminal wanted by the foundation all over the city.
Although she didn't think Gao Chen had done anything wrong to eliminate the insect plague, that was fine. But some of the things the other party does after putting on the mask are really difficult to understand. He attacked the official knights repeatedly and even took away Daiming-senpai's drive. He didn't look like a good person no matter how he looked at him.
"I know what you are thinking about now." Gao Chen said slowly: "But to be honest, if you think I am not a good person, then there is no Kamen Rider in this world who can be called a good person."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Hearing this, Meng plucked up the courage and said: "When all the qualified people are officially awarded the belt, they have sworn to the Foundation Knight Badge!"
"Having taken an oath, does that count as a qualified knight?"
Gao Chen smiled and said: "If you say so, then the Civil Affairs Bureau should not have divorce processing business."
"You...you are sophistry. How are getting married and becoming a knight the same thing?" Meng said with a blushing face.
"Is there any difference? Anyway, it's just a few slogans." Gao Chen said indifferently.
"Then do you know that you took away Dai Ming's drive, and today he was attacked by Zerg."
As soon as the news of Dai Ming's death was released, it was like a bomb thrown into the deep sea causing thousands of waves.
Countless people, whether they have ever questioned him or not, feel sorry for this genius.
The same was true for Meng. She became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she had forgotten who the young man in front of her was: "He died because you took away his drive, which made him unable to protect himself when encountering zerg. It was you who indirectly caused the death." Kill him."
The girl became more and more excited as she spoke, and her chest rose and fell violently. After finishing speaking in one breath, her face turned red, as if she was about to bleed.
He kept saying: "He is the hero of our Beiqiao Street. He was not guilty. He could have become one of the top fittest people in our country, but because of you, a genius fell like this!"
Gao Chen's expression suddenly turned cold.
In order to protect the people around him, he chose to wear a mask and act cautiously, but now he is being criticized for this.
He was so angry that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said word by word: "I killed Dai Ming."
A fleeting word made the girl quiet instantly.
The girl was stunned, with disbelief on her face.
Gao Chen said again: "Didn't you hear what I said clearly?"
"I killed this boy with my own hands."
"As for why the Foundation found out that it was caused by a zerg attack, I don't know."
"Besides, if he is really a genius or a good person, the drive should not be taken away by me. After all, a caring knight like me still cherishes talents."
Meng’s outlook on life was completely shattered.
She looked at the cold-faced young man in front of her. The setting sun shone in from the edge of his body, covering the walls of the room with a crimson color, just like the strange light shining on the emperor's knight.
At first, she thought she heard it wrong, but the following words from the boy gave her a chill.
The girl almost shrank into the corner of the sofa, tears streaming down her eyes, and she murmured in a low voice: "Gao Chen, Gao Chen... Gao Chen, what happened to you? Why do I feel that you are becoming more and more strange to me."
"Dai Ming does not deserve to be mourned by you, the people."
Gao Chen stood up, put his hands in his pockets and said slowly.
Now that the girl already knows his identity, she should know the true face of these knights in the foundation today.
"When they colluded with the consortium and broke their oaths, they never took you to heart."
The girl raised her head and said, "You are talking nonsense! You are obviously the murderer."
Gao Chen yelled at her: "That's because the people I killed were no longer worthy of being human!"
He didn't say much. He knew that it was not appropriate to tell the other party about the protozoa now.
Besides, he has already dealt with Dai Ming, and the inspection team may soon release all the dirty information about Dai Ming.
Although there will be no content about protozoa for the time being, just betraying the oath and colluding with the consortium, this information is enough to completely ruin this guy's reputation.
"Dong dong dong..."
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
The entire living room fell into dead silence at this moment.
Meng wiped her tears and looked at the door.
"Sit here and don't talk."
Gao Chen said as if giving an order.
Then, he stood up and walked towards the door.
"who?"
"I, Li Zhang."
Through the peephole, he saw that it was indeed Li Zhang standing outside.
Gao Chen opened the door and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Have you heard about Senior Dai Ming?"
"Yes, I heard about it." Gao Chen said calmly.
"The school hopes to hold a memorial service for Senior Dai Ming, and his parents also hope that the funeral can be held at his alma mater."
Li Zhang said: "So, my old classmate came to me and hoped that we graduated classmates could go to the funeral together. Originally, my old classmate called your home phone number, but couldn't get through, so he asked me to come over and have a look.
At that time, not only our class, but also other junior students and those who have graduated long ago will also participate. Some prominent figures in society will also be present. "
The funeral of a man who was investigated by the inspection team and whose ability was once questioned by residents received such widespread attention after his death.
The reason should be that he was the first Kamen Rider killed by the Zerg. Although he was suspended for investigation, his name was still there. That’s why it won a sensation from all walks of life.
In addition, Dai Ming's ability to receive so much attention must be due to his heroic character in the past, and his well-deserved 'genius reputation' in today's domestic environment.
"Yeah, I'll go."
Gao Chen thought to himself.
Perhaps, you can choose to announce it all at the funeral.
"The time is at 2:30 on Sunday afternoon, which is six days later. Remember to arrive thirty minutes in advance."
After seeing Gao Chen's bench press results, Li Zhang changed his previous contempt for his old classmate and now admires him very much.
"Oh, by the way. Can you tell classmate Meng for me? Her phone number can't be reached either."
Just as he was about to leave, Li Zhang turned back and added.
And it was when he turned around that he accidentally glanced at the living room.
Classmate Meng hugged the pillow and sat on the sofa. Her white skirt was a little messy. She was crying so hard that there were a few traces of tears on her cheeks.
Li Zhang's face froze, and he felt his heart throbbing. He was stunned for a long time and said, "Classmate Emeng is here too."
Gao Chen smiled slightly, but didn't speak or answer.
"Well, I wish you have a good time, woo woo..."
After speaking, Li Zhang left without looking back.
boom--
The door closes. Gao Chen put away his childish smile, walked back to the sofa and said, "Li Zhang informed us to attend Dai Ming's funeral."
Meng seemed to have calmed down. She looked at the boy approaching, but she still nestled in the corner of the sofa like a frightened little white rabbit, saying nothing.
Gao Chen walked to the sofa and sat down two places away from her before continuing: "When the funeral starts on Sunday, you will know why I did what I did today."
Now that we know his identity, we have to get on his 'thief ship'.
He needs to think carefully about the protozoa matter before deciding whether to tell this silly boy.
"You can take the Kato driver first."
Gao Chen wrapped the insect meter and handed it over to the girl. When the girl didn't pick it up, he simply stuffed it into her arms: "I was just investigated by the foundation. It's not safe for me to keep this thing here."
He was not worried about the other party going to expose him. As for why, the girl learned that he was a folk knight, but did not directly choose to report the crime.
"Take it back and hide it away. Don't let outsiders see it, and don't let your parents see it."
"It might be okay for your parents to see it, but if an outsider sees that the drive is in your house and you are still a student, I don't know what will happen, but it will be hard for Uncle Meng and Aunt Meng to say anything."
Hearing this, classmate Meng cried again.
This is the first time in her life that she has been bullied like this.
In fact, when Gao Chen opened the door just now, she thought about whether Gao Chen might be telling the truth and not lying to her.
Senior Dai Ming, who looks glamorous on the surface, is actually a traitor who betrays his oath.
Colluding with the consortium privately is not completely different from the consortium disbursing funds to the Knight Foundation.
The initial purpose of setting up the Knight Foundation to manage qualified individuals was to sever the connection between the Knights and the consortium.
As for the reason, once the wall of the foundation is lost, the knights may be unable to resist the temptation of the consortium's money, and thus be controlled. There may even be multiple camps, causing the knights across the country to fall into chaos, and a war may break out.
Gao Chen took out a napkin, threw it to her mercilessly, and said in a commanding tone: "Stop crying, wipe your tears, and then go home and hide this thing for me."
...
Meng put away the insect instrument, returned home, and hid it.
Then she fell down on the bed in the bedroom.
Staring at the white ceiling, his mind was in chaos.
Originally facing and accepting Gao Chen as the folk knight, she spent three days conducting self-psychological counseling.
As a result, I heard something even more shocking.
Dai Ming was actually killed by Gao Chen——
"But why would he do this..."
Classmate Meng realized later that Gao Chen didn't seem to have hurt her.
When she was at Gao Chen's house, she was quite excited and didn't think much about it at all.
now think of it.
When Gao Chen's identity was discovered, he could have chosen to kill her directly, but he still let her go home.
"Could it be that I really blamed him wrongly?"
In any case, we have to wait until the day of the funeral to know the final truth.
...
Wow...
Wash basin, faucet turned on.
Gao Chen picked up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, water stains sliding down his cheeks.
Then, he looked up at the boy in the mirror.
After a while, he turned off the water and returned to the room.
...
Leicester Group, Underground Laboratory.
A centrally placed device was connected to countless pipes, continuously delivering potions. An unconscious young man was fixed on the device, and the potions were continuously injected into his body.
Next to him, there are many scientific researchers who are constantly debugging equipment and using instruments to monitor the young man's condition at all times.
"How is it going?"
A man in a suit walked into the laboratory and asked, looking at the experimental objects fixed on the equipment.
"Success is not far away." The scientific researcher said: "It is expected that there will be 72 hours before actual combat testing can be carried out."
"Very good." The man in a suit said: "The boss is looking forward to what enhancement effects Kamen Rider can really bring to us. I hope that after 72 hours, you can give him an answer that satisfies him."
"Don't worry. After our research on North American biochemicals, we not only reproduced their 'real' ones, but also improved them. This time, I guarantee that the experimental product will satisfy the boss."
The scientific researcher said: "Just please help me tell the boss that the actual test conditions required for this experimental product are relatively harsh. In order to stimulate the most primitive desires of our body to reach the best state, there must be enough blood... ..”
"Don't worry about this. The boss has already selected the actual test location. You just need to complete the work for the next 72 hours. We will handle the actual test matter."
Afterwards, the man looked at a text message on his phone and said slowly: "I didn't expect that a dead experimental subject could be of such great use to us. Beiqiao No. 3 Middle School, the place we chose is quite good."
"..."
