Chapter 310 The Special Envoy is Still Charming
When Shen Cheng heard the word "homicide", he began to doubt whether he had really walked into the wrong set.
From traveling through another world to becoming a Death God elementary school student, why do I keep encountering this kind of thing wherever I go recently?
No matter what, even if the king of gods came this time, he would never waste his brain energy on solving cases or COSing as a detective.
Number One had already told all the information he had found out in a steady voice. The deceased was a guest from outside the Eternal Empire. The hotel security personnel heard the deceased's screams before he died. When they rushed to the room, they only saw the deceased's body, and the murderer had disappeared.
The cause of death of the deceased was that the murderer had hollowed out his heart. The scene was very bloody.
Number One investigated secretly and found that the murderer did not leave any traces in the room, so he must be a powerful character.
When No. 1 and No. 2 came back, the hotel had completely cordoned off the area and no one was allowed to approach.
After listening to No. 1's story, Shen Cheng was a little confused: "If the murderer is so powerful, how could he make the deceased make a noise before dying?"
Number One and Number Two looked at each other. They had never really thought about this question.
Number One asked, "Special Envoy, do we need to investigate further?"
Shen Cheng shook his head: "You just need to keep an eye on it secretly, and leave the investigation to Yongle City. Let them worry about it themselves."
Yongle City has claimed that it will protect all customers from all over the world who come to consume here and will never let any customer come into harm's way.
Over the past few years, Yongle City has indeed achieved this. Not to mention homicides, even intentional injuries have rarely occurred.
It is precisely because of this that Yongle City has become the safest entertainment venue in the world, and countless wealthy businessmen and celebrities dare to come here to consume and entertain with confidence.
Otherwise, the vampires of the Eternal Empire regard humans as food. Without adequate safety guarantees, who would dare to risk their lives and travel thousands of miles to come here?
Now that a murder has suddenly occurred, Yongle City must be in a state of panic and will catch the murderer at all costs.
Just then, No. 3, who had run twenty laps outside, finally came back.
Shen Cheng put down the travel guide and stood up: "The three of you stay in the hotel, I'll go out for a walk alone."
A murder had just happened, so it was a bit dangerous to go out and wander around at this time. However, the three people of No. 1 knew Shen Cheng's ability and knew that he was not as weak as he pretended to be, so the three of them did not try to persuade him tactlessly.
After watching Shen Cheng leave with a respectful attitude, No. 1 asked No. 3, "Did you fail?"
Number One and Number Two knew that Yan Yin wanted to win over Shen Cheng, and they also guessed the purpose of arranging the beautiful lady Number Three to accompany them.
So when Shen Cheng ordered No. 1 to go out to gather information, he deliberately took No. 2 with him, leaving No. 3 and Shen Cheng alone in the room to create an opportunity for No. 3.
If number three succeeds in getting to base, the two of them will be tactful enough to stay outside until the next day.
As a result, during their investigation, they found that No. 3 was running around the hotel and realized that she had failed.
Number Three nodded: "The envoy doesn't seem interested in me."
Although his tone was calm, No. 3 was still a little shocked inside.
She always thought highly of herself and rejected many advances from nobles.
This time, for the benefit of Baiye Country, she resolutely decided to sacrifice herself, but it turned out that the other party didn't like her at all.
"Not interested in you?"
Number One frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at the handsome Number Two next to him: "How about you give it a try?"
No. 2 felt his buttocks tighten, and fear flashed in his eyes: "I am a man."
Number One nodded seriously: "I know, this is the task assigned to you by the organization."
Number Two's expression was uncertain, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I understand."
For the benefit of the White Night Kingdom, he is willing to give up his ass.
Number Three looked at Number Two with admiration, and at the same time hoped that he could succeed.
As long as No. 2 succeeds, it will be proven that the problem is not with his own charm, but with the sexual orientation of the special envoy.
Shen Cheng didn't know that his sexual orientation was being suspected.
After he left the hotel, he refused the hotel's service and wandered around the street alone.
To some extent, Yongle City is definitely the most open and inclusive place in the world. You can see vampires, humans and demons moving freely on the streets here without worrying about them fighting each other, because any creature who dares to make trouble here will be severely punished by Yongle City, without exception.
When Shen Cheng was wandering around, he could sense someone following him secretly. He knew without a doubt that it was someone sent by Yongle City to follow him.
Although he had severely offended the director, causing Yongle City to completely give up the idea of communicating with him, he was, after all, a special envoy sent by Baiye City. Even if Yongle City was angry, it would not really ignore it.
However, Shen Cheng's disguise was very successful. The person sent by Yongle City to keep an eye on him was just an ordinary extraordinary person, and no one took him seriously at all.
Shen Cheng used infinite splitting without anyone noticing, and the stalker was unaware and followed Shen Cheng's split body away.
After gaining his freedom, Shen Cheng changed his appearance and continued to wander around Yongle City, finally coming to a fortune-telling shop.
Even though it is daytime now, there are many customers in the fortune-telling shop waiting to be seen by the fortune-teller.
Seeing Shen Cheng coming in, the receptionist politely asked, "Excuse me, sir, do you have an appointment?"
In the Eternal Empire, divination is a highly respected profession, especially for those diviners with strong divination abilities. Guests usually need to make an appointment many days in advance to see them.
Shen Cheng certainly understood this rule. He took out a business card and handed it to the receptionist: "I don't have an appointment, but someone introduced me here."
The receptionist took the business card and glanced at it, but her expression did not change at all. She still smiled and said, "Sir, please follow me."
This business card was a token that Ji Chan gave to Shen Cheng before he left the Astrology Palace. In this divination shop in Yongle City, as long as he took out this business card, the fortune teller inside would obey his orders unconditionally.
The receptionist took Shen Cheng to a room, served him hot tea, and asked him to wait for a moment.
A few minutes later, two young fortune tellers, a man and a woman, came into the room.
"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, you are finally here."
The female fortune teller rushed forward excitedly and tried to grab Shen Cheng's hand: "I have waited for you for too long."
Shen Cheng subconsciously stepped back to avoid this nymphomaniac tomboy.
"If you have something to say, please speak up. Don't touch me." Feeling ashamed, the male fortune teller grabbed the female fortune teller's clothes and dragged her back. At the same time, he apologized to Shen Cheng: "I'm sorry, Special Envoy, she was a little excited."
Shen Cheng glanced at the female fortune teller who seemed to want to eat him alive, and asked in confusion: "What is she so excited about?"
Before the male fortune teller could answer, the female fortune teller answered: "The mission, Mr. Special Envoy!"
She raised her hands and acted mad. "It's been six years. We've been hiding in Yongle City for six years. We were told that we would be allowed to return to the Astrology Palace after completing our mission. But after three years, we still haven't been given any missions. I feel like I'm going to be alone here for the rest of my life."
The male fortune teller said speechlessly: "Aren't I always with you?"
The female fortune teller retorted: "But you are my brother. What I need is a man who can give me a warm embrace. Can you give me that?"
The male fortune teller suddenly turned his head and looked at Shen Cheng. His eyes and expression seemed to be saying - isn't there one here?
The female fortune teller also looked Shen Cheng up and down, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
A closer look at the special envoy revealed that he was still charming and handsome, which completely hit her aesthetic standards.
Shen Cheng coughed. He was not here for a blind date. "Let's get down to business. You two can introduce yourselves first."
Seeing Shen Cheng's expression become serious, the two men dared not talk nonsense anymore and began to introduce themselves.
The two are a brother and sister. The sister is called Qiu Ai and the brother is called Qiu Ming. They were sent to Yongle City by the Astrology Palace six years ago to lurk here. They were not sent here for any special reason, but just to collect intelligence about Yongle City in advance to be prepared.
After six years, the brother and sister almost became local residents of Yongle City and knew the city very well.
After listening to the self-introductions of the siblings, Shen Cheng asked the first question: "Where is the Eternal Blood of Yongle City?"
Qiu Ming immediately took out his mobile phone, opened the map navigation, and pulled up the map of Yongle City.
"According to our investigation, the Eternal Blood should be stored in the castle called Toy City in the city center. This is also where Jin Xing lives."
Qiu Ming pointed out the location to Shen Cheng on the enlarged mobile phone map: "The defense of Toy City is extremely tight. One of the general directors of Yongle City also lives there, so we dare not go in to investigate."
Shen Cheng didn't expect the two fortune tellers to reveal any important secrets, so he changed the question: "Is there anything special happening in Yongle City recently?"
"Have."
Before Qiu Ming could speak, Qiu Ai answered again: "There have been many murders recently, and the victims are all guests from all over the world. The security department of Yongle City is in a state of panic."
Shen Cheng immediately thought of the murder that occurred in the hotel where he was staying not long ago.
"Are there a lot of deaths? Why didn't I hear anything when I came here?"
"Because Yongle City covered up the news."
Qiu Ai continued to answer, as if she wanted to show off herself in front of Shen Cheng: "Yongle City has been claiming to be absolutely safe for so many years, but in the past six years we have found that there have been many murders in Yongle City. It's just that Yongle City has a very strong control over public opinion. All news of murders will be covered up by them, and the victims' families will also be dealt with by them."
"Is the solution you're talking about a physical solution?"
"That's right, Mr. Special Envoy, you are really smart."
Qiu Ai gave Shen Cheng a thumbs up, her eyes full of admiration, and flattered him in a very corny tone.
Qiu Ming, who was standing by, felt very ashamed and wanted to sever ties with his sister immediately.
Shen Cheng ignored her and continued to ask: "Since there are actually many murders in Yongle City, what is so special about the recent murders?"
While Qiu Ai was being infatuated, Qiu Ming finally got the chance to answer: "Recently, the frequency of murders has been very high, at least two every day, and they all target guests from all over the world..."
He paused at this point, and Shen Cheng encouraged him, "Keep talking. If you have any ideas, you can share them with us."
Qiu Ming nodded. "My sister and I have investigated secretly. The murderers of these cases may be the same person or the same team. Every time they kill someone, they deliberately make a noise so that people can find out. The victims are all out-of-town guests. In addition, the entertainment celebration will be held in three days. So my sister and I suspect that the murderer is deliberately targeting the entertainment celebration and may want to disrupt the celebration."
Shen Cheng nodded slowly: "Then what do you think is the murderer's purpose in destroying the entertainment celebration?"
Qiu Ming was a little stuck. He had been thinking about this question recently, but he had no answer.
Qiu Ai, who was standing by, finally came out of her infatuated state and interrupted, "Maybe it's an internal fight within Yongle City. The relationship between the two general directors of Yongle City seems harmonious on the surface, but they are always hostile to each other in private."
Qiu Ming was somewhat helpless: "Isn't this just gossip?"
Qiu Ai immediately lectured her brother: "You know nothing. Don't you know that many secret truths are spread through gossip?"
"That's right, there is no smoke without fire."
Shen Cheng also agreed with Qiu Yuan's words and immediately became interested: "Tell me about it."
If Yongle City really has internal conflicts, then by detonating them, perhaps he would be able to create an opportunity to investigate Jin Xing's situation and steal the Eternal Blood.
Encouraged by Shen Cheng, Qiu Ai immediately excitedly talked about the gossip she had.
There are two general directors in Yongle City.
One of them is called Jin Yan. Although he is an ace, he has the title of Duke, which makes him much more powerful than the ace who can only be made an earl.
Jin Yan is Jin Xing's servant, and is in charge of all the affairs of Yongle City on his behalf. He is the second most important person in Yongle City besides Jin Xing.
The other chief director is named Yu Feng, also a duke. However, Yu Feng is very low-key and his status is lower than Jin Yan. He is the third most important person in Yongle City.
Jin Yan and Yu Feng have a very harmonious relationship. They used to be a powerful combination. They were famous throughout the Eternal Empire for jointly resisting Qin Hao's attack. They were hailed as the strongest Eternals after the Blood King.
From the outside, Jin Yan and Yu Feng have a very close relationship, even closer than brothers.
But according to the gossip told by Qiu Ai, there were unknown gaps and contradictions between the two dukes.
In recent years, there have been many personnel changes in Yongle City, and many of those who were transferred from key positions belonged to Yu Feng.
However, one of Jin Yan's capable subordinates met with an accident while on a business trip and his whereabouts remain unknown to date.
All these signs indicate that there is fierce open and covert fighting within Yongle City, and apart from Jin Yan and Yu Feng, there is no third powerful force in Yongle City.
