Chapter 592: 373, Swarm out of Intelligence Department One_2
“If this sort of thing was happening in the Outer World, it would probably terrify quite a few people,”
However, it seemed that the star was still alive. Could he pay a visit and ask if they could guess who the holder of the Devil’s Stamp might be?
Then, Qing Chen saw that PCA Central Intelligence Agency Intelligence Department One had listed the pursuit of Jindai Kongyin as one of their cases.
In the files, the last public sighting of Jindai Kongyin was in the northern 19th city, and she had been missing since. It appeared that someone was helping her evade capture, suspected to be the work of the Time Traveler Organization in Kyushu from the Outer World.
Finally, Qing Chen started reviewing the cases that the detectives were investigating. The added database was enormous, even containing some surveillance videos related to the suspects, which Qing Chen watched at four times the speed.
At that moment, footsteps were heard outside the office.
Qing Chen looked up, knowing that no one in Intelligence Department One would attempt to assassinate him. Even if someone did, this place wouldn’t be their chosen venue.
Therefore, he wasn’t worried.
The next second, the thirty-something Qing Zhun arrived at the office door, grinning and said, “Inspector, I knew you’d still be here looking at the information database. Actually, you don’t need to. You could just order Qing Hua directly in the name of Mr. Shadow. Would they dare to disobey? Why put yourself through all this trouble?”
Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “You might not believe this, but I’m quite interested in past files.”
He looked at Qing Zhun, noting that he was carrying two plastic bags.
Qing Zhun took out several biodegradable disposable lunch boxes from the bag, “I thought you might be here all night, so I went and bought some late-night snacks.”
Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “Thank you.”
The disposable lunch boxes were pale yellow and contained several delicately prepared side dishes.
These lunch boxes were made from sugarcane bagasse. After the extraction of sugar, the sugarcane bagasse was crushed and sedimented, then pressed into boxes.
After eating, one only needs to bury them underground for a while, and they will degrade into soil.
It had to be said, the Inner World paid more attention to environmental protection than one might imagine.
Qing Zhun, after a moment, asked, “Did Mr. Shadow ever mention me to you?”
Qing Chen shook his head. “No.”
“It’d be good if he did, I could be someone you trust…” Qing Zhun’s voice trailed off. “Ah, is that so?”
He had intended to use his connection with the Shadow to quickly bridge their relationship, but since Qing Chen did not acknowledge it, it appeared he planned to observe on his own.
Qing Chen bowed his head to eat. Qing Zhun did not give up but continued, “Why don’t you go to the prestigious Intelligence Department Three, but instead come here to Intelligence Department One?”
Qing Chen glanced at him, “Don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked. Perhaps you have a good relationship with the Shadow, but that is not capital you can use to pry into my affairs here.”
Qing Zhun wasn’t upset, instead he smiled and said, “Today at Intelligence Department Three, Qing Yi, Qing Shi, Qing Yuan, Qing Wu, Qing Wen, and Qing Xing have all started their jobs. I happen to know about these Shadow Candidates. For instance, Qing Shi’s father, under the Family Head, handles the energy projects and seems determined to personally intervene to help his daughter win the battle for the Shadow. As for Qing Xing, he’s very lucky; since he was seven, he’s found money every day he steps outside, always succeeds in what he wants to do, and people he dislikes always fade away.”
“Finds money every day?” Qing Chen looked up.
“Yes,” Qing Zhun smiled, “But finding money is just a small part; there are other matters.”
“He was always second in his class at Qing Family School, with Qing Wen’s grades always surpassing his. When Qing Xing was twelve, his father promised him a sniper rifle if he ranked first. That time, just by chance, Qing Wen fell ill and missed the exam.”
Qing Chen became thoughtful.
Qing Zhun kept talking, “There are many more similar incidents, like, there was a girl he liked at Qinghe University, but she was already interested in someone else. You know, students from Qinghe University come from all over the Federation and go home during holidays. Happily for him, his rival had a car accident on the way home. The dashcam showed that a goat suddenly ran onto the road and he mishandled the situation, turning the wheel abruptly, causing the vehicle to overturn.”
“He’s not the only one who died under Qing Xing’s ‘Lucky Halo’; there was a professor at Qinghe University who failed him in a subject, making him retake a year. That professor, on his way home, happened to be near two gang members who started swinging knives at each other, accidentally slicing a bystander who bumped into a store window, shattering it. The broken glass fell and sliced through the professor’s neck.”
The more Qing Chen heard, the more he furrowed his brows.
Qing Zhun asked with a smile, “Intriguing, isn’t it? That there’s such a lucky person in this world. So while others think Qing Wen will become the Shadow, I believe Qing Wen won’t stand a chance against this guy’s luck, especially since Qing Wen lost to luck once already when he was twelve.”
Qing Chen looked at Qing Zhun.
Perhaps the man truly was a confidant of Mr. Shadow, or else why would he suddenly talk about the battle for the Shadow?
Of course, it might also have been a probing attempt, suspecting that Qing Chen might be one of the Shadow Candidates too.
Qing Chen glanced at Qing Zhun but said nothing.
