#293 - Chapter 292 "Night" and "Silence"
“Not only that, during this investigation, people have been disappearing every four or five days. The Public Security Bureau realized that the culprit was no ordinary criminal and immediately reported it to the Special Abilities Department. But even so, they couldn't catch this criminal.
Later, the Special Abilities Department sought help from our Disciplinary Law Department. Originally, I was planning to send Xiao Hu.”
Duan Xian looked at the man sitting beside him who hadn't spoken for a long time: “But since we've encountered this, let the two of you go. Whoever can catch the perpetrator first will be the Disciplinary Law Chief of District One, how about it?”
“Okay.”
“Mm.”
Li Chenqiu and Huang Jianhua both agreed.
“I'll send you the information related to the case later. After you go to City 200, you can't rely on the local Special Abilities Department and Public Security Bureau. Hide your identities and don't expose yourselves,” Duan Xian instructed.
Huang Jianhua asked, “Can we bring someone else?”
“Yes,” Duan Xian held up two fingers: “Only one person.”
“Disciplinary Law Chief Duan, if we hide our identities and don't rely on the local Special Abilities Department and Public Security Bureau, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the investigation, and more people will die.
Is it really appropriate and reasonable to risk the lives of innocent people to select the Disciplinary Law Chief of District One?” Li Chenqiu frowned, expressing his concerns in line with his persona.
Duan Xian looked at Li Chenqiu with surprise and explained with a smile, “In addition to you, the Disciplinary Law Officers from District Four stationed outside City 200 will also participate in this operation.
The Special Abilities Department and the Public Security Bureau will fully assist them, so you don't have to worry about more innocent people dying because of the selection of the Disciplinary Law Chief.”
“Understood.”
Li Chenqiu leaned back in his chair again.
……
Half an hour later, the dinner ended, and everyone gradually left the private room.
Li Chenqiu wiped the grease from his mouth with a paper towel and looked at Duan Xian, who hadn't gotten up yet.
Duan Xian asked curiously, “What's wrong?”
Li Chenqiu showed a friendly smile: “I have something I want to ask you, Uncle Duan, may I?”
“What is it?”
“Do you know about the Mystic Weapon, Night Quiet?”
“Night Quiet?” Duan Xian looked quite surprised and nodded in Li Chenqiu's expectant gaze: “I know about it, what's wrong?”
Li Chenqiu's expression lit up, and he hurriedly asked, “Do you know the functions of this Mystic Weapon?”
A hint of suspicion flashed in Duan Xian's eyes: “Why are you asking about this?”
“Huh?” Li Chenqiu scratched his head in confusion: “Isn't this the Mystic Weapon that the Disciplinary Law Department gave me? Isn't it normal for me to ask about it?”
“Ah?” A big question mark popped up in Duan Xian's head, and he asked uncertainly, “You're saying that the Disciplinary Law Department gave you a Mystic Weapon, and the name of this Mystic Weapon is Night Quiet?”
“Yes, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this Mystic Weapon?” Li Chenqiu looked curious.
Duan Xian didn't answer Li Chenqiu's question immediately, but instead sized up Li Chenqiu with a meaningful look.
Night Quiet, one of the personal Mystic Weapons of Wenren Qing, the Chief of the Disciplinary Law Department. Others may not know, but how could he not know.
“You… this was given to you by the Disciplinary Law Department?”
“Ah, don't you know?” Li Chenqiu looked at Duan Xian with some confusion.
“Cough cough.” Duan Xian coughed lightly and changed the subject: “That's not important, you must have discovered the special features of the Night Quiet Mystic Weapon!”
“Yes, as long as you press the button, it will turn into a cloak and a mask, but I haven't figured out what this thing is for yet. I don't know who wrote me the letter, but they only mentioned the name of the Mystic Weapon, and then nothing else. This person…”
“Okay, okay, let's not talk about this,” Duan Xian hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt: “Let me tell you about the function of that mask first!”
Li Chenqiu sat up straight, looking very serious.
“This mask is called 'Quiet'. Its function is very simple, which is to block the sounds emitted by you. For example, if you activate Quiet, no matter if you speak loudly or knock on the table hard, others will not be able to hear it.”
Li Chenqiu's eyes lit up: “Then, if I activate 'Quiet' and beat someone, will the sounds that person makes be heard by others?”
“The sounds emitted by you will be blocked.”
“Awesome!” Li Chenqiu grinned: “Uncle Duan, what about that cloak?”
“That cloak is called 'Night'. After activating 'Night', you can move freely within the shadows within a hundred meters, or rather, teleport. Whether it's a person's shadow or the shadow under a building, it's all within range.”
“Teleport!?”
“Yes, but 'Night' can only work at night. During the day, it's just an ordinary cloak, and using 'Night' is very mentally exhausting. If you are very sleepy, remember not to use it, otherwise…”
Li Chenqiu leaned forward: “Otherwise what?”
Duan Xian said seriously: “Otherwise you will fall asleep.”
Li Chenqiu: “……”
Duan Xian knocked on his head: “I almost forgot, 'Quiet' can only prevent those below the tenth restriction from hearing the sounds you make. Those at the tenth restriction and above can hear it.”
……
The night breeze carried a hint of coolness, blowing away the warmth from Li Chenqiu's hair.
After saying goodbye to Duan Xian, Li Chenqiu returned to his residence without stopping, and after taking the “Night Quiet” and his bank card, he hurriedly left Star Plucking Residence.
The urging for the 30 billion half-price deal made Li Chenqiu not dare to rest for even a second. This was a contempt for the half-price and a disrespect for money!
On the way, Li Chenqiu dialed Xiang Nanzhi's phone:
“Hello, this is Li Chenqiu.”
“It's not like I'm blind, I can see the note on the phone, what's up?”
“Something happened on my side, and I need your help. I'm at the Star Plucking Academy's train station now. Pack your things and come over quickly!”
“I'm attending a freshman dinner, I have to wait a littl…”
“What's there to have dinner with a bunch of kids? I'll wait for you here.”
“If they're kids, aren't you a kid too? What business do I have with a kid?”
Li Chenqiu changed his tone: “Big Brother Xiang, don't you love eating roast chicken? I specially bought you a Star Plucking specialty roast chicken, cold roast chicken. Please, just give me some face and come taste how this cold roast chicken tastes?”
Of course, Li Chenqiu wouldn't tell Xiang Nanzhi that this roast chicken was what he had left over from lunch.
“Sigh, seeing how you're begging me, then I'll reluctantly come over and taste it!”
“Thank you, Big Brother Xiang. I'm at the train station entrance, the subway line three goes directly there, waiting for you.”
After speaking, Li Chenqiu hung up the phone directly, and the smile on his face disappeared like lightning.
……
About twenty minutes later.
“Little Brother Li!”
Li Chenqiu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiang Nanzhi carrying large and small bags, running towards him excitedly.
Xiang Nanzhi stopped in front of Li Chenqiu: “Little Brother Li, where's the cold roast chicken you mentioned?”
“It's in the bag. The train is about to arrive, let's get on the train and eat!”
Li Chenqiu took Xiang Nanzhi's bag and dragged him towards the station entrance.
