The police officer who discovered the body immediately became vigilant. His companions drew their weapons and yelled: "No one is allowed to leave!"
Zhou Jinru was sitting not far away watching this scene. It was obvious that he was also within the scope of the scoldings of the police officers. According to normal procedures, he should be asked to go to the police station to take notes.
In less than two minutes, a sharp-eyed police officer noticed him, put away his weapon, walked over and asked, "Sir, what are you doing here at such a late hour?"
You're really polite, but that wasn't the case just now.
Zhou Jinru had just seen him treat a homeless man roughly, but now he had a different attitude, probably because the clothes he was wearing were decent enough.
"I'm resting here. I just had a drink and I feel a little uncomfortable."
The young police officer nodded, believing Zhou Jinru's words, with soft eyes: "Sir, there was an accident here. I hope you can cooperate with our work and go to the police station to make a record. It won't take too long."
"Do I have to go?"
The police officer coughed slightly: "Yes, everyone present must take notes. This is what our police chief wants."
It seemed that this trip was unavoidable. Zhou Jinru put the dice into his pocket, stood up and said, "Then let's go."
Seeing his cooperation, the nervous police officer was relieved. If the man in front of him is unwilling or moves out some big shot, even the police station must treat it with caution.
"Sir, don't be nervous. I'm just making a note. You can go home and rest later."
Of course I'm not nervous, it's you who are.
Zhou Jinru suddenly stopped, looked at the nervous police officer, and asked, "Can I call my master?"
…
…
The police station in Londinium is divided into several areas with different people in charge, but there is only one chief.
Late at night, the lights were still on in the police stations in the eastern part of the city, and transcripts were being taken in several interrogation rooms.
Zhou Jinru was not treated unfairly, and the head of the police station even invited him to drink a cup of coffee because he made a phone call when he arrived. His father's surname was Shiva Ash.
"Mr. Zhou, unfortunately, you are shocked. Bodies are found every day in Londinium. Most of them died of natural causes, including the Tomisil River. River workers often complain to us about people who commit suicide by drowning themselves in the river. Too much."
The head of the police station is a rather talkative middle-aged man. When he talks about these things, his eyes shine as brightly as his Mediterranean Sea under the refraction of light.
"There are many kinds of misfortune in this world, and we have seen very few of them."
Zhou Jinru had no choice but to say something perfunctory. If suicides often occur in an area, or people die in the open, then it must be a very scary place. However, the citizens living here regard it as a topic of conversation after dinner.
The head of the police station took a sip of coffee: "You are right..."
The door of the police station was pushed open, and a police officer led the well-dressed Shiva Ash in. He immediately saw Zhou Jinru sitting at his desk drinking coffee, and asked the person in charge of the police station: "Do I need Pay bail?”
"unnecessary!"
The head of the police station immediately put down the coffee cup, stood up straight quickly, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Shivaash, your manservant has not committed any crime and has no suspicion. He just witnessed a death and does not need to pay anything." Bail and you can take him away now.”
"Well, thank you for bothering me."
When Shivaash walked in, he didn't take off his top hat and still held a cane in his hand. The previous bail was just an excuse, and the person in charge of the police station told everything in a smart way, and the matter was solved.
Zhou Jinru and Shivaash looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. The latter leaned forward slightly and said seriously: "Try not to go to some remote places at night, as accidents are easy to happen."
No, that's not the case.
You are wearing the same black dress as before, but the cane is made of solid wood, which means it is heavy and can be used as a practical weapon. You are not wearing leather shoes, but a pair of boots. Although they are well hidden under your trousers, the shoes The trace of mud still proves that you did not rush here from the mansion.
"You're right, I'll pay attention."
Zhou Jinru nodded in agreement. His performance was slightly different from that of a male servant, and he was no longer as smooth and skillful as before.
Shivaash pursed his lips, greeted several police officers in the police station, and then turned to leave. At this moment, there was a noise outside the door, and several police officers twisted a girl in shabby clothes to come in, passing by When Zhou Jinru and Shiva Ash were meeting, she was hit hard on the head by the police.
"Don't offend others!"
Zhou Jinru turned around and looked at the person in charge of the police station: "What happened?"
"theft!"
A woman with a sassy voice walked in from outside. She was wearing a well-fitting police station uniform, her right hand pressed on the handle of the knife hanging behind her back, and her eyes swept over the two men.
"We saw her during patrol. She stole property from the Quiet Church. Someone has notified Father Albert to come and claim it."
"Ms. Chen, this is Mr. Shivaash. You should have heard his last name."
Sir Chen, no matter where you go, are you always the police superintendent?
Zhou Jinru looked at the heroic Chen. Her current identity was a senior police officer of the Victoria Police Department, which was very consistent with her real-life character.
There are still traces of the rules in the sitcom. Silver Hui is the chairman of Kalan Trading, and his identity is the patriarch of the Shivaash family. Chen Sir has been the head of the law enforcement agency all year round. Her identity is a quite It goes without saying that Croissant, a seasoned senior superintendent, is a profiteer.
The acting identities of the three operators Zhou Jinru met were all in line with their characters. Only he, who was clearly a high-ranking executive in Rhode Island, became a manservant. He couldn't get rid of the manservant after changing his identity twice. It was really disappointing. Popularity is boring.
"Mr. Shivaash, hello..."
Before Chen finished his greeting, the door of the police station was pushed open again, and a man wearing a black priest's robe ran in panting, sweating profusely and asked: "Where is Adela?"
"Father Albert, you are here."
The priest took a deep breath. It was obvious that he had been chasing her all the way. The first thing he said was to ask where Adela was. He was probably not here to hold her accountable.
Zhou Jinru was thinking, the priest took a look inside the police station and found the girl locked in the iron-barred cell. He said anxiously: "Adela didn't steal. All the property she had was given to her by me!"
"You gave it as a gift?"
The head of the police station looked at the priest in disbelief.
"Yes, I gave it to her. She is a good person. She has not committed any crime and is not a criminal."
"real?"
"Absolutely true!"
The head of the police station glanced at Chen who came in to arrest Adela, and closed his eyes: "According to the normal procedures, the case can be closed by making a transcript. Father Albert, what do you think?"
"As you should."
The priest held the sun emblem hanging on his chest and said piously: "God will warm believers and bring light to them."
He handed the sun emblem to the girl. The tearful girl stretched out her hand and grasped the sun emblem tightly through the iron fence, as if everything had been redeemed.
The picture freezes at this moment, gradually becomes illusory, and everything falls silent.
The first act of Oliver Twist ends.
Zhou Jinru opened his eyes. It was already morning. He had slept like this all night. What happened still stayed in his mind and could be recalled clearly. It was not like a dream that would dissipate when he woke up.
"Is this a sitcom?"
He has no intersection with the main plot, and in the last scene, when he saw the girl holding the emblem of the sun, it was basically certain that the girl named Adela was the heroine.
A very real scene, almost like another period of life.
After putting on his coat, Zhou Jinru walked out of the room and happened to see Angel Angel and Texas appearing together. The latter had an autistic expression on his face.
“What happened to Texas?”
The capable angel glanced at his companion and whispered: "Doctor, we actually became a pair of sisters in the sitcom!"
"What's wrong, sisters?"
"My identity is the daughter of a small businessman, and Texas is actually a killer hired by a business rival. The first scene she appears is to assassinate my identity's father."
"Then what!"
Zhou Jinru's eyes were shining. How could he not be curious about such a scene of falling in love and killing each other?
The scene in the melodrama is the entire Londinium, a super mobile city with tens of millions of people, where countless bloody dramas are taking place. The rivalry between Angels and Texas is just the tip of the iceberg.
"I was almost killed by Texas. My identity is a little daughter who is well protected by my father. I have almost no fighting ability, and I can't master the fighting ability in reality, so it's very miserable, but Fortunately, the Lapland guy suddenly appeared at the last moment and disrupted Texas' assassination."
"Aneng, stop talking."
Texas' face turned dark, and he became even more autistic as the capable angel described it.
Ouch! Ouch!
"It doesn't matter, it's just the first plot, the official content hasn't started yet."
He was very interested when he thought of De Gou and La Gou slashing each other, leaving wounds on each other for the sake of the poor capable angel!
It's a pity that Mastima is not here, the fallen angel disappeared yesterday, and no one knows where she is.
When walking into the lobby of the hotel, the operators greeted each other. Zhou Jinru responded, took a breakfast, and sat down to enjoy it.
"Doctor, what is your identity? I went a long way in the sitcom and couldn't find you."
Matomaru, who was sitting opposite Zhou Jinru, asked while eating.
"He is Mr. Silver Ash's manservant. I have already met him."
There is no doubt that the person speaking is Croissant, and Miss Feng Ho is looking at him with a strange look.
Zhou Jinru laughed: "Londinium is so big, it's normal that you can't find me, but I'm lucky, it happens to be near the main plot. The last moment of the first act happens to be at the scene where the plot takes place."
Superintendent Longmen, who was sitting together, couldn't help but complain:
"You are indeed at the scene, but you have entered the police station. Yin Hui is here to take you back."
Xing Xiong said distressedly: "Ah Chen, you are still the superintendent, but I have become the gang's top thug. Do you think we will become enemies in the end?"
That's natural. The scene between the gangster sister and the sassy policewoman is very interesting, right?
Zhou Jinru bit his sandwich and listened to the operators' descriptions of the plot. They were scattered in various directions in Londinium, with different identities and plots, but they were all dynamic plots outside the main line.
"Where's Vina?"
"She probably hasn't gotten up yet, Breeze went to call her."
"I'll take a look."
Zhou Jinru held a glass of milk and stood up to go to Wei Na's room.
The characters of the operators all have one characteristic. When they participate in the performance, they can only act in line with their status. In other words, as a special operations officer, Chen cannot just pull out her weapon casually, because she cannot In line with her identity, her subconscious prevented her from doing what she did.
Only he is different.
Zhou Jinru pulled out a gun several times in the entertainment center to test the restrictions of the sitcom. Facts have proved that the restrictions placed on him by the performance rules are very low.
When I arrived at Weina's room, the door was not closed, but ajar. I pushed the door open and went in. The breeze was gone. Weina was leaning on the bedside and looking over.
"My queen, why are you staying in bed?"
"Isn't it normal for a queen to stay in bed?"
Zhou Jinru smiled and sat on the edge of the bed: "Did you have fun last night?"
"Um."
Girl Aslan responded, then fell silent. She raised her head and whispered: "I went home during the plot."
"Good thing, how do you feel?"
Wei Na's expression was a little strange: "Not so good, that doesn't seem to be my home."
She walked into her room and found that the decoration inside was completely different from before, and she couldn't find anyone she knew. Her home was an extremely unfamiliar environment.
"I just remembered something."
Zhou Jinru thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know about the Child Labor Abolition Act?"
Although he did not participate in the plot, he knew a lot of information. Although the specific time cannot be found in the sitcom, the comparison in reality is still possible.
"In 883, Victoria officially passed the document to abolish the child labor bill, but it would not be fully completed until 890, which was two hundred years ago."
It turns out that this sitcom took place two hundred years ago. Zhou Jinru suddenly felt enlightened. No wonder it looked quite contemporary.
Wei Na also heard what he meant and said in surprise: "It turned out to be two hundred years ago?!"
Zhou Jinru spread his hands: "I asked the operators, but they never asked about the time in the plot. It seems that I was the only one who discovered the problem."
Of course, Victoria could not find any trace of her life two hundred years ago, and everything became a matter of course.
"It's time to get up, we have to go into town today."
The melodrama was performed at night, so they could act as much as they wanted during the day, since they had to sleep at night anyway.
"By the way, Vina, do you know where the Silent Church is?"
Wei Na narrowed her eyes: "Did you also find this in the sitcom?"
Before Zhou Jinru could answer, she said to herself: "In the Western Region, that's where I want to go."
