Chapter 58 I don't believe that someone of your rank could have so many coincidences.
Outside the iron gate in the area for discarded and damaged items.
"Bang!"
Seeing that no one answered when he banged on the door, Su Zhen kicked the iron door open.
Sun Zheng stood behind the door, pretending to be about to open it.
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me calling you to open the door?" a police officer yelled.
"Excuse me, it was too noisy earlier and I didn't hear you. Officers, is there anything I can help you with?"
Sun Zheng spread his hands out with an innocent expression.
"Where is Zhu Que?" Su Zhen asked coldly.
"Zhu Que just got back. Officers, please wait a moment while I go and call him over."
Sun Zheng turned around, supporting himself on an unusually thick and deformed leg, and limped inside, calling out a few times in a pretentious manner:
"Zhu Que! Zhu Que! Someone is looking for you..."
"Get out of the way!"
Su Zhen stepped through the iron gate, shoved Sun Zheng aside, and scanned the entire area of discarded and damaged artifacts.
Finally, he looked towards the small room in the corner.
"We found him!"
Su Zhen strode over.
however.
Just as she was about to approach the small room, a sudden change occurred—
"Crack—!"
Not far away, the incinerator suddenly emitted a deafening roar, and then the entire furnace collapsed with a crash.
"Whoosh—!!"
The remnants, melted by the high temperature, surged out like lava, flowing towards Su Zhen.
The path leading to the small room was instantly blocked.
"What's going on?!" a police officer demanded.
"Ah, this..."
Sun Zheng, standing to the side, was "terrified" and his face turned deathly pale. He said in a trembling voice:
"It's possible that the incinerator hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and too much residue had accumulated, causing it to overload and explode..."
"..."
Su Zhen gave him a cold glance and said in a deep voice, "Clean up the mess immediately and drag him out!"
"receive!"
Several officers quickly cleared a path leading to the small room.
Just as they were about to rush in, the curtain of the small room was suddenly lifted, and Zhu Que walked out of the room curiously.
"Captain Su, were you looking for me?"
"I told you to go to the hospital, what are you doing here?" Su Zhen asked coldly.
"Hospital treatment is too expensive. I have some healing medicine myself. Look, my injuries are much better."
Zhu Que had already prepared his explanation.
Moreover, his current state is completely different from when he first left the warehouse.
"Come with me."
Su Zhen gave a slight nod.
Two police officers immediately stepped forward, one on each side, and grabbed Zhu Que, taking him out of the garbage dump.
"Where are you taking me?" Zhu Que asked, feigning confusion.
"Stop talking nonsense."
"Okay."
Zhu Que secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That was incredibly close! Just as Su Zhen kicked the door open and burst in, he had just successfully replicated the Black Jade of the Sky.
If Su Zhen had entered the small room at that time, he would have been able to see him using the Black Jade of the Sky.
Fortunately, the incinerator suddenly collapsed, which gave her some time; otherwise, everything would have been over.
"..."
Watching Zhu Que being taken away, Sun Zheng muttered to himself, "That's all I can do to help you."
After saying that, he glanced at the overturned incinerator, scratched his head, and began to look for someone to come and repair it.
……
The police car was cramped.
Zhu Que and Su Zhen sat facing each other, and he no longer felt the nervousness he used to feel when facing Su Zhen.
After killing ten people, he became unusually calm, even somewhat numb.
"You look more and more familiar. Wash your face."
Su Zhen handed him a bottle of mineral water.
"Captain Su, my hand isn't working properly."
Zhu Que pointed to his fractured right arm.
"Then I'll help."
Su Zhen unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, poured the water into her palm, and began to wipe the blood off Zhu Que's face.
Unlike Su Zhen's cold and hard personality, her hands were extremely slender and soft, with a delicate and exceptionally warm feel to the touch of her fingertips.
She washed the blood off Zhu Que's face, and after seeing his face clearly, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
"So it was you. No wonder you looked so familiar."
Su Zhen's gaze sharpened as she coldly questioned:
"Weren't you Meng Yu's pet sparrow? How did you suddenly become a garbage dump cleaner?"
"One is my main job, and the other is more of a side job," Zhu Que explained.
"What is your current cultivation level?"
"Three levels of Qi Refining".
"Qi Refinement Level 3... Heh, you're a fifth-class person, with no cultivation resources and no background. A few months ago, when you were tested at the cultivation center, you were just an ordinary person without any cultivation."
Su Zhen stared into his eyes and asked calmly, "Don't tell me you're a once-in-a-century cultivation genius."
"Of course I'm not a genius."
Zhu Que had already prepared his explanation.
"Not long ago, I had a chance encounter with a reclusive master. I was fortunate enough to become his disciple and greatly improved under his guidance."
"A reclusive master? What's his surname? What's his given name? What does he look like? When and where did you meet him? What happened that day?"
Su Zhen immediately threw out a series of questions.
"My master's surname is Cang, I don't know his given name, and what he looks like..."
Zhu Que answered fluently. Since he had fabricated such a master, he had naturally already prepared all the information.
Su Zhen didn't detect any flaws in her story and was about to continue questioning when her phone suddenly rang.
Zhu Que heard a hurried, flustered voice come from the phone after Su Zhen answered—
"Captain Su, we were attacked on our way back with the prisoners. All the kidnappers have been killed!"
"Who is the other party?"
"have no idea……"
"Are all the kidnappers dead?"
"Yes……"
"Snapped!"
Su Zhen slammed his fist on the seat in frustration and cursed, "What a bunch of useless idiots! They even messed up escorting a prisoner!"
"Alright, you guys search the scene for clues. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it when I get back."
Seeing Su Zhen hang up the phone, Zhu Que was secretly delighted.
That's great!
The surviving kidnappers were all silenced.
Then my words will be even more credible...
Su Zhen turned her gaze back to Zhu Que and asked, "Tell me, what happened in that garbage dump? How did Qiao Kun die?"
"Chu Luo and I joined forces to kill Qiao Kun."
"Join forces?"
"Yes, Chu Luo severely injured Qiao Kun, but Qiao Kun killed him. I took advantage of Qiao Kun's serious injury to kill him."
He had already come up with an explanation for this, attributing part of the credit for killing Qiao Kun to the deceased Chu Luo.
Otherwise, it would be too abrupt for him to say that he, a cultivator at the early stage of Qi Refining, single-handedly killed Qiao Kun, who was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Anyway, there's no way to prove it now that he's dead, so let him say whatever he wants.
"Tell me the details, I want to hear the whole process."
Su Zhen naturally did not easily believe Zhu Que.
Zhu Que began to slowly recount his story:
"I jumped into the garbage pit to escape, and then Chu Luo jumped in after me..."
He gave a general account of the whole incident.
They portrayed the fight in the garbage pit as a joint effort between him and Chu Luo.
As for the lightning bolts and firearms, he completely shunned them.
He claimed that the initial magical grenades and firearms were stolen from the kidnappers in the warehouse.
The garbage pit also contained a large number of magical grenades and firearms, which he and Chu Luo used on the spot.
Anyway, all the kidnappers are dead, so there's no way to prove it, and no one can refute it.
Moreover, even if the police had suspicions, they couldn't possibly suspect him—
First, he was only a Qi Refining Stage 1 cultivator, and therefore could not use spatial storage artifacts.
Secondly, no one saw him forging the magical artifact, and the only person who might have suspected him, Chu Luo, was also silenced by him.
"..."
Su Zhen listened quietly without immediately expressing her opinion, her fingers lightly tapping her knees as if she were pondering something.
After a while.
She suddenly asked a seemingly unrelated question—
Do you know Cheng Yuan-po?
"What?"
Zhu Que felt a pang of anxiety, but remained outwardly calm.
"You've been hoping to cultivate at the self-help cultivation center, and Zheng Yuanbai, who was born with a demonic seed, also works part-time there."
Su Zhen stared at him and asked, "Do you know him?"
"I'd say we know each other."
Zhu Que paused for a moment and then said, "During that time, I consulted him about some cultivation-related issues."
"You already have a reclusive master as your teacher, why do you still need to consult him?"
"My master is elusive, sometimes I don't see him for days at a time, so I have to ask others for answers to many of my cultivation questions."
"Is it merely a question about cultivation?"
"That's right."
"...I hope you're not lying."
Su Zhen's tone was indifferent.
"Sizzle!"
The police car came to a stop, and Zhu Que looked out the window and saw that it had indeed stopped outside the testing and evaluation center.
"Get out of the car." Su Zhen opened the car door.
Why are you stopping here?
Zhu Que feigned doubt, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn't go to the town hospital, but instead raced against time to replicate the Black Jade of the Sky, otherwise he would be in a hopeless situation now.
"I'll give you a test and assessment. I don't believe that someone as lowly as you could have so many coincidences."
Su Zhen said calmly.
Subsequently, several police officers escorted Zhu Que into the testing center and led him to the new testing equipment.
"Let's get him tested and evaluated."
"OK."
The staff started up the new testing equipment.
"Buzzing—"
Zhu Que stepped forward and entered. A light screen enveloped his entire body and quickly scanned him.
This moment.
The atmosphere became extremely heavy.
Su Zhen's eyes were sharp as he stared intently at Zhu Que, his hands flashing with golden light, ready to strike at any moment.
As soon as the alarm sounds, she will subdue Zhu Que instantly!
