From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 350 - 259: Attack Incident_2
Chapter 350: Chapter 259: Attack Incident_2
Lu Heng was confident in this regard, nodding in response, "Should be possible."
"Alright. You come with me, but only you." Chen Linian said, then led Lu Heng to the interrogation room.
Passing by the office area, Yuan Hecheng instantly tensed up.
Lu Heng pressed his hand down towards him, signaling not to worry, and then followed Chen Linian to the interrogation room.
Standing at the doorway, they could hear Yuan Yaoyao’s loud shouting from inside: "Let me out now, if something happens to my dad, I’ll chop you all up too!"
The soundproofing of the interrogation room was good; to be heard outside meant the young girl was shouting at the top of her lungs. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
No wonder Chen Linian said she might tear down the building by the looks of it, if they kept her any longer, she might indeed dare to.
Moreover, she really had the ability to do so, just a few Sikes miniature missiles would do the job.
Chen Linian pushed the door open and quickly tried to calm her down: "Don’t be nervous, see who I’ve brought over."
Upon seeing Lu Heng walk in, Yuan Yaoyao finally became less agitated and instead pleaded while stamping her feet: "Brother Lu, please get them to release me."
Lu Heng gestured for her to sit down, soothing her: "Your dad is outside; don’t worry. You can’t see him now. Let’s figure out what happened first, then think about how to handle it."
In front of Lu Heng, Yuan Yaoyao was very obedient, sitting back down in the chair, pouting: "That person had a gun, that’s why I did it."
After the Abyss Descent, firearms had become the main self-defense weapon for the majority of common folk and Superpower Users.
Now, one simply needed to register officially and have no criminal record to legally possess a handgun.
Given the current situation in the Abyss, even if the authorities wanted to ban firearms, they couldn’t; Superpower Users could integrate basic laws with their guns and store them in inventory slots, making them impossible to trace.
Therefore, seeing someone with a handgun in public did not justify an attack.
Of course, seeing a gun in someone else’s hand warrants necessary vigilance.
However, Yuan Yaoyao’s actions, if not for other reasons, were clearly excessive.
Chen Linian emphasized: "Having a gun doesn’t justify your killing the man, understand?"
Yuan Yaoyao got agitated again, standing up angrily: "He was going to shoot my dad! Am I supposed to just watch him shoot?"
Chen Linian turned the monitor on the table to face a different direction, playing the surveillance video: "The surveillance camera captured it clearly; the man had no intention of shooting, and his handgun was kept behind him."
Yuan Yaoyao had explained this many times already, so hearing the question again made her irritable: "He really was going to shoot my dad; I’m not lying. Can’t you understand what I’m saying?"
"How can you be so sure he was going to shoot your dad? The surveillance footage shows no sign of him ready to shoot," Chen Linian pointed to the monitor screen with a pen, emphasizing again.
"Why don’t you believe me? Brother Lu, please help me," Yaoyao pleaded desperately, stamping her foot, looking like a completely harmless, somewhat anxious young girl, unrecognizable as the one who had just chopped someone up shortly before.
Lu Heng had been watching Yaoyao’s expressions closely, it was clear she was holding back words, likely involving secrets she didn’t want to reveal.
"Inspector Chen, let me talk to her alone for a bit."
Chen Linian frowned and asked: "What do you want to talk to her about? That’s not really appropriate."
Lu Heng glanced sideways at him, speaking coldly: "If I wanted to take her away, could you stop me? My willingness to cooperate with you is my utmost leniency. Do not make this situation any more troublesome, understand?"
Things were no longer as they were a year ago.
A year prior, when Lu Heng was investigated by Iron Blood, he could only comply.
Now, Lu Heng’s standing was different, willing to cooperate with Iron Blood investigations purely in the interest of not disturbing social order, but that was not a reason for Iron Blood to overstep.
Just as Lu Heng said, if he decided to take Yuan Yaoyao away, no one could stop him.
Even if Yuan Yaoyao wanted to leave, there were few within Iron Blood that could stop her.
However, at the moment, Iron Blood was not aware of the real Combat Power of this young girl.
After all, Yuan Yaoyao had never displayed her ability to take on thousands of cyber drones alone in Blue Star, so even her father was unaware of her true strength.
After a brief consideration, Chen Linian agreed to the request, directing the investigating agents to head outside and wait.
"Turn off the surveillance too," Lu Heng pointed to the surveillance camera in the interrogation room.
"It doesn’t matter, I can block it," Yaoyao said as she saw Iron Blood Investigators leave the room, with only her and Lu Heng left, her mood quickly calmed down.
With the capabilities of Black Feather Spirit, blocking surveillance devices of the Human World was very simple.
Lu Heng walked over, crouched in front of her, and asked: "Now tell me, what happened?"
Yaoyao spoke seriously: "The man was going to shoot my dad, so I had to intervene, otherwise, I wouldn’t reveal myself in front of my dad. You know, I don’t want him to know about Sikes World."
Lu Heng frowned and asked: "But the surveillance video, indeed, didn’t show the Superpower User making any aggressive moves."
Yaoyao pointed to the back of her head, explaining: "It’s true, it was the result of the Light Computer’s calculation based on the man’s expressions, eyes, and muscle movements. The calculation concluded that he was going to shoot my dad."
If it was a result calculated by the Light Computer, it should be accurate.
Nevertheless, conclusions provided by computers tend to be backed by data.
Lu Heng pressed further: "What’s the probability?"
Yaoyao replied: "From a distance of tens of meters, the calculated probability wasn’t high, only about ten percent or so, but as the distance closed, that probability kept rising, especially when he got within eight meters, the chances spiked from twenty-something percent to over sixty percent."
