Secular world: My destiny has no taboos

Chapter 300: 299: This matter is not under my control, I will try not to cause trouble to the society

‘Knock knock knock…’

The knocks on the door were very regular, and the sound was the result of the knuckles of the fingers colliding with the heavy security door.

The current scene was very similar to the red face that died in this living room and knocked on Lin Beixuan's door in the middle of the night.

The phone screen lit up, with numbers flickering on it.

9:35.

A time that is neither early nor late.

Lin Beixuan sighed, slowly got up from the bed, walked through the living room in soft slippers, and put his hand on the door handle.

‘Crack! ’

A ray of light squeezed in from the crack in the door, making Lin Beixuan's face look a little yellow.

That's the light in the corridor.

"Hello, my name is Zhang Kaiming, and I'm a criminal police officer in Jianxi District."

The speaker was a middle-aged man. He took out his ID from his chest pocket. Next to him was a young man with a strong physique.

"Zhang Kaiming..."

Lin Beixuan's gaze stayed on the ID for a while, then moved to the other person's face.

His hair was disheveled and greasy, his eyes were bloodshot, and although he didn't smell bad, his overall mental state was as if he had been staying up late for several days.

"Hello, officer."

Lin Beixuan opened the door and asked with a puzzled and nervous look in his eyes: "Excuse me, why are you looking for me all of a sudden? I am a good citizen and have never done anything illegal."

As he said this, his muscles suddenly tensed up like a normal person would when he suddenly saw the police. His heartbeat accelerated unintentionally at first, and then slowly calmed down.

"Don't be too nervous, just asking something."

Zhang Kaiming grinned in a fairly kind smile, and skillfully walked past the gatehouse and into the living room with the young man behind him.

"Why don't you turn on the light?"

"I was ready to go to bed, but just as I lay down, I heard a knock on the door, so I got up and opened it." Lin Beixuan replied.

As he spoke, he pressed the light switch.

With a crisp "click" sound, the living room suddenly became bright.

Zhang Kaiming scanned the living room, from the floor to the sofa, to the gaps in the wall, not missing any corner.

Due to his habit as a criminal policeman, Zhang Kaiming's observation was extremely meticulous and capable. He seemed to want to search for something similar to red paint in the room.

Sadly, it turned out not to be the case.

"call……"

Zhang Kaiming rubbed his eyebrows, subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to light it, then realized that his behavior seemed impolite, so he asked.

"Can I have a cigarette?"

Lin Beixuan frowned: "Officer, it's better not to. I don't like the smell of smoke."

"Hehe, sorry!"

Zhang Kaiming withdrew his hand holding the cigarette with a very natural expression. He stood by the huge French window, and his position was strangely the same as when Lin Beixuan saw Zhu Lian.

It's just that the two seem to have switched directions.

"Forget it, let's get down to business!"

Zhang Kaiming put the phone in front of Lin Beixuan: "Have you seen this person?"

Lin Beixuan looked up and saw a photo on his phone. The man had shrewd eyes and a loose face, as if an old man's face was sewn onto his skin.

Red face.

Lin Beixuan's heart was slightly moved. It seemed that the official people had found out about him.

Facing Zhang Kaiming's slightly scrutinizing gaze, Lin Beixuan shook his head calmly, and even his eyes were filled with doubt, as if he had really never seen the person in the photo before.

"This person looks so special, I have never seen him before."

Zhang Kaiming nodded, then swiped his finger across the phone screen and asked again.

"Where is this person?"

The photo was changed to show a middle-aged man with a plump figure, round cheeks and a slightly bald head.

Lin Beixuan raised his eyebrows and said, "He is the landlord who rents my house."

"When was the last time you saw him?"

"I haven't seen him since we signed the contract. The rent is a deposit of one third of the rent, he pays for the property management fee, and I have to pay for the water and electricity bills myself."

"Did he do something wrong?" Lin Beixuan asked.

"No, he died, his whole family died." Zhang Kaiming shook his head: "Just after I rented the house to you."

Lin Beixuan widened his eyes in horror when he heard this, pursed his lips, and blurted out with an expression of disbelief: "He's actually dead!!"

Then, Lin Beixuan said anxiously and nervously: "Officer Zhang, this is none of my business. In addition to my classes at school, I also need you to do part-time work. I usually only come back here to rest at night."

"I know. I investigated your identity before I came to you." Zhang Kaiming narrowed his eyes and said, "I am currently studying at Los Angeles University, one of the nine folk universities in the country. I am also a formal layman and have been registered with our official department."

"But... I checked your school file and found that you seemed to have been affected by secularization some time ago, and your hair turned white."

As he spoke, Zhang Kaiming stared at Lin Beixuan's hair.

Lin Beixuan smiled and quickly replied, "I dyed it back. It's not good for my image to always have gray hair."

Zhang Kaiming nodded as if he understood, but he had no intention of asking further questions about this.

After all, he had come into contact with many official secular children, and among them there were naturally some who had been slightly influenced by the secularization like Lin Beixuan.

When it comes to matters related to one's own face and appearance, everyone will more or less cover it up through some external means.

"Have you done a psychological assessment?" Zhang Kaiming said.

"I've done it in school. Some of the psychological values are slightly beyond ordinary people, but this is a normal manifestation after being influenced by the secular world. The evaluation results show that it will not cause any harm to society." Lin Beixuan answered honestly.

"As expected of a student of Los Angeles University, you have a very high level of awareness. Compared to those secular children who are doing evil things outside, your cognition is much higher." Zhang Kaiming praised him. "Becoming a secular child is not something I can decide, and the influence of secularization is something I cannot control. The only thing I can control is not to cause trouble to the country and society." Lin Beixuan said sincerely.

Hearing this, Zhang Kaiming nodded with great satisfaction, stretched out his hand and patted Lin Beixuan on the shoulder twice.

"You can think like this, which really surpasses most of the worldly people nowadays!"

In recent times, with the increasing number of secular princes, the difficulty of official management has gradually increased.

Especially those policemen who are not yet secular people, often feel powerless when facing senior secular people who are seriously influenced by secularization and can display extraordinary means.

Moreover, it is precisely those methods used by the other party that have greatly increased the difficulty of tracking and investigation, and there is even the risk of retaliation by the other party at any time.

If he had a gun, he might still have a chance in a one-on-one fight, but the senior worldly people have been in the secular world for a long time, and their methods are often strange and unpredictable, making it hard to guard against. In most cases, he won't even have a chance to shoot.

Lin Beixuan's last words touched Zhang Kaiming's heart, and accordingly, his doubts about Lin Beixuan were alleviated a lot.

How could someone who could say such a thing be a cold-blooded thug who kills people as easily as drinking water?
Although the thug killed people who deserved to die, his behavior still violated the laws of Xuan Country.

You can have a sense of justice, but you can never be above the law.

If everyone learns to kill the thugs like the Red Face Gang, then the boundaries of the law in people's hearts will be diluted to an extremely low level, which will have a huge impact on the future development of Xuan Kingdom.

"I'm so sorry to disturb your rest so late!"

Zhang Kaiming left Lin Beixuan's residence, held the door, turned around and gave Lin Beixuan an apologetic smile.

Lin Beixuan shook his head after hearing this: "Helping the authorities is something that every citizen of Xuan Country should do. However, I see that Officer Zhang's steps are unsteady and his energy and spirit are damaged. He should rest more."

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder." After Zhang Kaiming walked out of the room, he closed the door with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, that kid gives people a good impression." The young police officer said behind Zhang Kaiming.

However, Zhang Kaiming, who seemed quite satisfied with Lin Beixuan before, shook his head inexplicably at this moment, turned around and took another deep look at Lin Beixuan's residence.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhang?" The young police officer asked with some confusion when he saw this scene.

“Sometimes you can’t judge a person by his appearance alone, because that can be faked.”

The young police officer paused when he heard this, and asked in surprise with an expression of disbelief: "Could it be that he was faking everything just now?"

"I don't know either. When I was in his room before, every word he said touched my heart. Compared with the other secular people we investigated, his attitude was much more approachable."

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

However, Zhang Kaiming shook his head.

"It's just so good!! It's as if every word was deliberately said to please us."

"..."

The young police officer was silent. At this moment, he felt that the brother Zhang who was leading him was a little too suspicious.

In the past two days, they have investigated quite a few secular princes, including some who have the support of the seven major gangs.

Those people always treated ordinary police officers like them with a condescending tone, as if they, ordinary police officers, had no right to interrogate them, and only official police officers who were also from the secular world were qualified to communicate with them on an equal footing.

Once people have some kind of classification difference, they will have a feeling of being superior to others in their hearts. This phenomenon is called "identity recognition" in sociology.

When people are divided into different social groups, they tend to develop a sense of superiority or inferiority based on differences in their identities.

As the current secular craze becomes more and more popular with media and news exposure, the phenomenon of 'identity recognition' between secular people and ordinary people has emerged.

"Then should we arrange people to keep an eye on them like we did with those worldly guys before us?" asked the young police officer.

"Forget it. He is not a big suspicion. I have read the information of those people in the Zhu Lian gang. They are all senior secular sons who have entered the secular world for more than half a year. He has only been in the secular world for more than two months and has just got rid of the identity of a new secular son. The gap in strength is very large. It is unlikely that it is him," Zhang Kaiming pondered for a moment and said in a low voice.

The young police officer nodded, agreeing with Zhang Kaiming's idea.

When investigating suspects, the police will generally prefer to analyze the strength of both sides. Moreover, in a case like this involving conflicts and fights between secular people, more emphasis will be placed on the strength of both sides.

For example, if a homicide occurred in a certain neighborhood and the victim was beaten to death, everyone would guess that the first target should be the men, not the elderly who had difficulty walking.

……

The faint moonlight scattered onto the floor from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Lin Beixuan stood in the middle of the living room, still maintaining the same posture as when he saw Zhang Kaiming and the other person off.

As early as when Zhang Kaiming and the other man entered the room, he had guessed that the other party must have suspected him of the death of Zhu Lian and his gang.

After all, not long after he first came into contact with the landlord, the landlord's family was killed by Zhu Lian, who peeled off their skin and walked around in disguise. It was understandable that he was listed as a suspect.

However, at present, Zhang Kaiming should only suspect him and has not locked him as a suspect.

Judging from the time he became a secular child, even if he obtained some secret treasures in the secular world or died too many times, the influence of secularization would be deepened.

But compared with these senior secular masters like Zhu Lian, his strength in this world is far from enough.

After all, the barrier between the living world and the secular world has not been completely broken. If the secular people want to exert their full strength in the living world, they must enter the transit point.

Lin Beixuan touched the purple jade gourd hanging on his chest and pondered secretly in his heart.

This thing is the biggest bargain he has picked up in the real world. Not only can it ignore the spatial barriers between the two worlds and indirectly enhance the constitution of his earthly body, it can also produce a small-scale phenomenon similar to a border crossing point in the real world, allowing him to cross the border without being restricted by the border crossing point.

'The pure air of heaven nourishes all things, goodness is conceived in the gourd, seven fruits on one vine...'

'Seven! !'

Lin Beixuan narrowed his eyes slightly and gently rubbed the purple jade gourd with his fingertips.

'My purple jade gourd is not the only one. There are at least six others of the same quality.'

"I just wonder if these other six gourds have the same ability as the Purple Jade Gourd to allow people to pass through the world?"

Lin Beixuan sat back on the bed and slowly lay down.

The matter regarding Zhu Lian and the others should have ended by now. Although it is true that he killed the person, he has no regrets or psychological burden.

If the authorities want to investigate who killed these people, then let them investigate. The most important thing for him right now is to deal with the Luozhou affairs as soon as possible. Huang Xian and Anle County may not be able to hold out for too long.

I also promised Ah Xiang to help the other party solve the problem of the skin-changing queen. Now there are only three days left. When I go to Shanghai, I don’t know what kind of dangers I will encounter.

'Both schedules are too tight, I must allocate them reasonably, so that I don't end up with trouble on both sides and can't leave either side.'

Lin Beixuan took a breath silently and closed his eyes.

In an instant, the sky and the earth spun, and there was a momentary collision at the intersection of the two worlds, like a meteor passing through, tearing through space, and leaving behind a bright and short-lived light.

The soul from another world awakens again in the earthly body.
