The morning light starts from the horizon, crosses the open green grassland, passes through the quiet lake, and shines on the ancient buildings. The residual light is reflected by the glass windows and fills the streets paved with rain-flowered stones.
A new day has begun in Ice Blue City.
"Didi, didi, didi..."
The alarm rang in the small two-story apartment on the outskirts of the city, and Xiao Jiang, a white-collar worker in the company, woke up from his bed. He brushed his teeth and washed his face sleepily, put on his uniform, and went out with his briefcase.
Xiao Jiang works at an insurance company in Ice Blue City and is the lowest-level salesman. His meager salary is only enough to rent a small ten-square-meter apartment in an old apartment on the outskirts of the city.
Although the small suite is fully equipped with a kitchen, bathroom and toilet, the remaining space is only enough for a canopy bed, a desk and a small wardrobe under the bed. If you were a little fatter, you might not even have room to turn around.
Xiaojiang graduated from Hongsang University of Technology and studied machine tool manufacturing. However, he did not enter a factory after graduation. Instead, he came to the capital of the Kingdom to find a job.
The recent war has confused him very much. Ice Blue City is in a state of hostility with the Red Mulberry Principality, one of the five eastern countries. The company manager hinted that he should either give up his Hongsang nationality and join one of White Night or River Bird, or even if it didn't work out, he would also join the Ten City-States nationality, otherwise the company might terminate his contract due to political pressure.
Emotionally speaking, he is a national of the Hongsang Principality. He graduated from Hongsang University of Technology. His parents are also farming in his hometown. He does not want to leave the nationality of Hongsang.
If possible, he would like to obtain the status of a citizen of Ice Blue City. In this way, he would not have to leave Hongsang's nationality, but he could legitimately stay in Ice Blue City, and his status would rise to a higher level.
But the ideal is full, but the performance is very skinny. There are only two ways to obtain the identity of a citizen of Ice Blue City, one is to buy a house, and the other is to become a noble.
The house prices in Ice Blue City are the highest in the world. With his current salary, even if he does not eat or drink for three hundred years, it will only be enough to buy a toilet. Even the small suite in the old apartment he rents now is a waste to him. Astronomical numbers.
As for becoming a guardian-level powerhouse and gaining aristocratic status, it is even more of a fantasy.
First of all, he must have money to buy evolution potions, and secondly, he must have enough talent, but unfortunately he has neither.
Be a mercenary?
Are you kidding me, a Buddhist like him, who has never dared to kill a fish since he was a child, would never go to the battlefield with a gun.
For him, the bravest thing he has ever done in his life is to bravely pick up his slippers and fight cockroaches to protect the fat girl next door.
Although the cockroach ran away in the end, he fought bravely after all.
Staying in Ice Blue City, his only chance is to accumulate enough industry experience and social connections, meet a self-made entrepreneurial boss, develop with him, and skyrocket before the age of forty, or pack up and return to his hometown to farm.
Even if the chance is slim, as long as you work hard, your life will not be in vain.
Of course, there is a third way, which is to cling to the powerful.
But his face is not white enough and his image is not handsome enough, so no rich woman has taken a liking to him so far.
And his integrity cannot be thrown to the ground, so no big male boss has ever traded with him.
He had seen the Prime Minister on TV. It was said that he had climbed up the ranks thanks to Trilis' favor. He just felt that he could do it too!
Because the other person doesn't seem to be much more handsome than him, he looks ordinary, but he looks a little more mature and has sharp eyes.
As for ability, he ignored this point. Since he is the object of the Queen's favor, he must have enough evolution potion, even if it is waste, he can pile it up.
"This is luck..."
Xiao Jiang sighed at himself in the mirror, as if he could win the Queen's heart as long as he walked into the candlelit hall.
If there are people with knowledge here, it can be said responsibly that he is overthinking. Before he even got close to the Candlelight Hall, no, before he even got close to the Imperial City, he would be shot dead on the spot by the guards as a madman.
Countless young talents, princes, and grandsons who claim to be handsome, handsome, tall, powerful, fair-faced, and talented have used their piles of corpses to illustrate a truth. In the multiverse, only Chen Xing, the destined emperor, can scratch When it comes to the Queen's itchy spot, others are just here to deliver food.
However, with Xiao Jiang's status and knowledge, it is impossible to know this. He is still immersed in the dream of gaining the Queen's favor and soaring to the sky.
It is said that Cuilisi is the most beautiful woman in the world. She has both wealth and wealth. It is so wonderful.
Xiao Jiang walked in a happy mood on the suburban streets paved with rainflower stones. There is a public carriage fifteen minutes away from here. As long as you pay two copper coins, you can sit near the company.
In fact, the maintenance cost of a carriage is very high. The cost of the same carrying capacity is dozens of times that of a car. The horses need to be fed and cared for, and the service life of a carriage horse is less than ten years.
However, in order to allow the lower class people living in the suburbs to ride horse-drawn carriages, the Ice Blue City authorities have provided government subsidies for public carriages from the suburbs to the center of the city, and the cost is much cheaper than short-distance carriages in the city.
After walking for a while, suddenly there was a foul smell in the air.
Xiao Jiang subconsciously covered his nose. The smell was like pieces of meat that had been rotting for more than ten days. Then he remembered the case of mutilated corpses in the sewer that had been widely circulated recently.
He suddenly turned pale with fright and fell to the ground.
"Oh my God!"
He rolled and crawled away, not even caring about the briefcase that fell on the ground.
After a while, another office worker passed by. This man was bolder. He looked around and found that the smell was coming from the sewer manhole cover.
came out and immediately called the police.
The nearby patrol police rushed to the scene quickly, put up a cordon to prevent unrelated persons from entering, put on protective clothing, and went to search.
Half an hour later, a group of police motorcycles drove over, and then an extremely luxurious carriage arrived at the scene.
Behind them were a large number of bulletproof commercial vehicles and soldiers with the Imperial City Guards logo.
One look at this formation, and even a fool knows that a big shot is coming.
Xiao Jiang stood in the crowd of onlookers, standing on tiptoes, watching the people getting off the carriage from a distance.
First there were two women.
One was wearing a sexy V-shaped slit dress, her skin was astonishingly white, her figure was graceful, and her face was breathtakingly beautiful. Her expression is elegant, her temperament is quiet, her movements are full of royal style, and she is full of nobility. Her charm and charm are unmatched by ordinary young nobles. You can only see such a woman in the news.
"What a beauty……"
Xiao Jiang looked at it dreamily, as if he almost lost his soul.
"It's the second princess of Baiye Principality, Baiye Liufang!"
someone whispered.
The other woman was wearing a black judge's uniform. She had round curves and a curvy figure. She was a representative of plump breasts. Her skin was brown and shiny in the sun. Compared to the beauty and demeanor of the second princess of the White Night Principality, she is on another extreme level of beauty. She is as strong and dangerous as a female animal, but exudes a maddening hormonal aura. I want to conquer her and press her down hard. Destroy/ravage the ground.
"Oh my God, it's from the Black Prison..." "Don't say it, you want to die!"
The speaker looked horrified and swallowed back the name he was about to say.
Arqiao Mu, the judge of the Black Prison, is the nightmare of the Ice Blue City. No one dares to call her by her first name.
After the two women, a young man came down, in his mid-twenties, wearing khaki casual clothes and slippers.
Yes, everyone read it correctly, they are flip-flops, the most common shoes in the slums of Sanchahe City, something even the poor people in Ice Blue City are unwilling to wear.
Due to the sudden incident, Chen Xing hurried out and didn't even have time to change his shoes.
"He is the Prime Minister!" "So young!" "Why is it different from the rumors? I don't think his face is very white." "Be careful not to talk nonsense. If you are overheard, you will be dead."
Xiao Jiang stared at the young Prime Minister with wide eyes, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
The other person looks a little different from what he looks like on TV. His appearance is similar, but his aura is very different. He has a calm temperament, sharp eyes, and exudes a wolfish aura.
When he was a child, he saw the princes of Hongmulg at close range in Hongmulg Square. Their temperament was far worse than that of the Prime Minister.
Either he is too fierce and lacks composure, or he is too elegant and lacks blood.
However, this gentleman is both fierce and rational at the same time, and his gestures are extraordinary. No wonder he caught the Queen's attention and rose to power as quickly as a rocket.
At this moment, Xiao Jiang decided that he would follow the example of the Prime Minister and watch the other party's back before moving forward.
At this moment, Chen Xing was communicating with Bai Ye Liufang about the case, and he had no idea that he had accidentally gained a little fan.
If Chen Xing knew about it, he would definitely promote him because he has never been a fan.
"What's going on? There's no response from all the monitoring points?" Chen Xing asked.
A Qiaomu shook his head, "I didn't receive anything suspicious."
"Could the murderer have been hiding in the sewer?" Bai Ye Liufang guessed. The sewers of Ice Blue City have a history of 1,600 years and are extremely developed and can lead to any corner of the city.
If the murderer was hiding in the sewers, it would explain why he was able to avoid the surveillance point.
Security personnel, black jail judges, and black widows are distributed at sewer entrances throughout the city, and they cooperate with the clear network system for monitoring. It is impossible for anyone to enter the sewer without being noticed.
Unless someone like Chen Xing has the ability to teleport, the ClearNet database has recorded that except for Ramsden’s portal, Aaliyah’s phantom assassin of the Legion of Destruction, and Chen Xing himself, no one has ever been heard of. Have such ability.
It is very difficult and almost impossible to enter the sewer without anyone noticing under the supervision of multiple parties.
Even Chen Xing himself found it difficult to do this, because when he was on the surface, he would probably be traced by the satellite signals of the ClearNet all over the city.
Then the remaining possibility is that the murderer has been hiding in the sewers and releasing a mutilated corpse every two days.
"We can only conduct a comprehensive search of the sewers." Chen Xing said.
"We don't have enough police force. In addition, the black prison guards are also women..." Aqiaomu said.
"They are all noble masters..." Chen Xing said half-jokingly, "It seems I still have to rely on myself!"
Ah Qiaomu was so frightened that he trembled all over and said repeatedly, "My subordinate is willing to lead a team into the sewer to catch the murderer!"
Chen Xing waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't need you."
If the women from the Black Prison Guards were allowed to enter the sewers, their combat effectiveness would be reduced to zero, and they would just cover their noses and feel sick.
The other troops that can be mobilized in the city are the Dragon Scale Guards and the Imperial City Guards, but these guys have their sights set on the top. Letting them enter the sewers is probably more serious than killing them.
Then the rest is really up to him.
"Goblin Legion, attack!"
"Hala!"
The next moment, tens of thousands of goblins poured out
There was a crack in the space, and the manhole cover of the sewer was removed, and he rushed down noisily.
Goblins are probably the most fearless legion in the world who are not afraid of getting dirty or getting tired.
The sewer with a diameter of ten kilometers became extremely busy. Countless goblins held torches and waded through the dirty water to search everywhere, not even missing a mouse.
Goblins are omnivores and will eat anything. They gnaw on mice when they catch them, leaving blood all over their heads and faces.
In addition to sending out goblins, Chen Xing also released tactical satellites to coordinate the goblins' actions.
The goblin's action range is centered on the host and has a radius of five kilometers. It is the same as the tactical satellite's detection range, which is ten kilometers in diameter and five kilometers in radius.
Chen Xing sat on the carriage. Wherever the carriage moved, the goblins searched and swarmed in the sewers, like a paradise.
About an hour later, the goblin discovered an abandoned sewer with a large number of black plastic bags piled inside.
When the bag was torn open, the stench spurted out, revealing a pile of minced meat.
"found it!"
Chen Xing ordered the nearby crowds to be evacuated, and then set up a Bayonetta sniper rifle on the roof of a nearby building.
With a thought in his mind, the whistle sounded, and the burning warship appeared in the sky and hit the ground with majestic and vast power.
"Boom!"
The ground collapsed, bricks and stones fell, mountains of body storage bags were exposed to the sun, and the stench rose into the sky.
"call out!"
In the chaos, a black shadow jumped out of the ground and moved quickly between buildings.
Unfortunately, he was already targeted by the fully charged Bayonetta sniper rifle.
"Watch where you run!"
The trigger was pulled, tongues of fire spit out, and a psychic armor-piercing bullet shot out of the air and hit the black shadow accurately.
"Bang!"
Amidst the dull gunfire, a human leg flew out, and the black shadow fell like a kite with a broken string. It first smashed through the advertising light and board, landed on the awning, and smashed the tables and chairs below.
"Catch them alive!"
"Ambulance, quick!"
The dying murderer was lifted up by medical staff. He was a man, about forty years old, with sunken eye sockets and some sickly spots on his skin.
"Uh, uh..."
"Take a deep breath!" "Oxygen!" "Analgesic!" "Hemostatic needle!"
The murderer looked at the medical staff blankly. After a few seconds, his eyes gradually returned to focus, revealing a look of determination.
When the teeth bite, the poison capsule in the denture breaks.
"The pupils are dilated!" "The blood pressure is dropping rapidly." "Blood transfusion!" "It's poison!" "Inject the universal antidote quickly!" "No, the heart has stopped beating, it's too late!"
The murderer committed suicide by taking poison, and the medical staff fell into chaos.
"Quick therapist, we need a quick therapist!" "Quick therapist is on the way!" "Ten minutes, we only need to hold on for ten minutes!" "CPR!" "Stun gun!"
"The patient lost too much blood, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation is ineffective!" "Execute the backup plan, chop off his head with a medical ax, take out the brain, and hand it over to the Heqiao Institute for processing!" "It's too late, the subcutaneous blood vessels are contaminated, and the toxin has spread to Brain!”
"The patient lost too much blood and was infected with toxins, so the backup plan failed."
"Clean up the rescue process, form a report, and submit it to the Black Prison Trial Center. All those who neglect their duties will be severely punished!"
The murderer was declared dead, and the next step was to find out his identity.
However, this murderer did not have a black record. He was recorded as a refugee on the Mingwang and once lived in the Shin-Edo area. The clues were thus interrupted.
The only remaining clue is a special tattoo on the back of the murderer's hand.
"This logo looks familiar..." Bai Yeliufang looked at the photos of tattoos and searched for information on the Internet.
The tattoo is black, like an irregular shield.
"I see!"
After studying for an afternoon, Bai Ye Liufang excitedly slapped a piece of paper in front of Chen Xing.
There is a word written on it with a brush: Lan!
"Look at the tattoo on his hand. It was deliberately re-tattooed in order to cover up the original tattoo."
"The tattoo is on the left hand. It is black. Judging from the shape and size of the edge, it is the tattoo symbol of the Storm Mercenary Group, Lan!"
At Bai Ye Liufang's request, the skin on her hand was cut off and the tattoo ink was analyzed. Her guess was soon confirmed. The tattoo covering it was exactly the word "LAN".
"It's certain that he was sent by the fourth prince!" Bai Ye Liufang came to the final conclusion.
"It's so haunting..." Chen Xing turned to look at the world map hanging in the middle of the office, and his eyes fell on a small red dot on the Green Continent.
Lan country!
His eyes stayed for a while, then returned to Bai Ye Liufang, "I need a capable chief of the security department."
"The officer is too young." Bai Ye Liufang said with disdain. The Ice Blue City Security Department, including civilian personnel, had less than a thousand people in total, and they were only equipped with pistols.
If there is a bigger firefight, you will have to seek reinforcements from the two guards.
"I will expand your establishment and increase your budget according to the standard of 30,000 elites." Chen Xing said.
Bai Ye Liufang smiled, raised her skirt and saluted, "I am willing to be driven by the Prime Minister!"
When necessary, the police force is also an armed force that cannot be ignored.
