I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 543: The Doomed Investigation

"Spill it honestly! Did you deliberately leave me out and go have fun by yourself?"

Lin Wan jerked forcefully, making Lu Zheng gasp for air, and she almost couldn’t hold back herself.

"I’m innocent!" Lu Zheng stretched out both hands to steady the bowl and regain his balance.

"I finished my business at noon and was about to get a hamburger and head back when, wouldn’t you know it, I ran into a white cop enforcing the law on a black guy."

Lu Zheng said helplessly, "I was just watching the commotion from a shop across the street, very far away, and yet two cops came in to buy burgers and just had to ask me for ID."

Lin Wan scoffed, "You must have acted too calm."

No wonder she’s a detective; she guessed it right on the spot, so Lu Zheng could only nod and admit, "I really couldn’t lie down flat on the ground."

The amusement in Lin Wan’s eyes deepened, and she twisted her waist heavily.

"Hiss—"

"Then why did you disappear so quickly, leaving me with a cliffhanger feeling? There wasn’t that grand climax and ending."

"We even shot down a helicopter, wasn’t that grand enough? Do I really have to wipe out a SWAT team? Reality isn’t a movie, after all."

Lu Zheng said helplessly, "I still want to live a leisurely life, not ruin the real world, not subvert everyone’s outlook. If I were fighting a country single-handedly on live TV, wouldn’t the media explode?"

Lin Wan thought for a moment, not sure how things would develop further, estimating that many people would speculate in the direction of a bio-warrior.

"So I still haven’t decided if or how to show myself. It’s not wise to blow things out of proportion now, or even if it gets big, just handle it like an X-File, not convenient to reveal directly in public."

Lin Wan nodded, "Alright, you have a point, but next time there’s something like this, remember to bring me along!"

Lu Zheng grinned, "That depends on whether you can win this time."

"Underestimating me!?"

...

Two hours later, Lin Wan lay exhausted on the bed, not even wanting to move a finger.

"Take me with you next time~"

"Okay, okay, I’ll take you!"

"Hehe..."

Afterwards, during their conversation, Lin Wan pulled out a wanted notice sent from the Interpol headquarters in the Lighthouse Country and showed it to Lu Zheng.

A photo of someone who looked eight or nine parts like Yuan Jing appeared in front of Lu Zheng. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"As you predicted, although people are paying attention to this incident, it’s not being elevated to a strategic level."

"This photo was derived from surveillance video and technical reconstruction," Lin Wan said, "The person wasn’t found in the existing database, and several with similar looks have been ruled out."

It would indeed be a ghost if they found it unless they could travel across the Great Jing Dynasty.

"So..."

"So the Lighthouse Country suspects the target underwent plastic surgery and has labeled them as a terrorist."

Lu Zheng shrugged, seems he can no longer bring Yuan Jing into the modern era.

This also served as a reminder for Lu Zheng; when altering appearances in the future, it’s better to randomly transform into some bystander to avoid future incidents.

"Anything else?" Lu Zheng asked, feeling the smoothness.

"No," Lin Wan said, "The police have searched the Curry Building inside and out with nothing found, and they’re still checking along the streets in Miami trying to find you."

"Go for it! Do your best!"

Lin Wan couldn’t help it, bursting out laughing, "You’re too wicked."

"Plus, these videos have been circulated in the domestic scene, take a look at the speculations at home."

"I saw it."

At this moment, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan were lying side by side, each holding a phone, looking just like an ordinary modern young couple.

Lu Zheng was scrolling through short videos, which naturally included related ones. Opening up the bullet screen comments, it was filled with reactions like "Epic", "Boss", "Top-tier ace agent".

Lu Zheng couldn’t help but look at Lin Wan, "They didn’t become suspicious, right?"

Lin Wan shook her head, "We analyzed these videos in the afternoon, and the conclusion was a sharpshooter, but shooting a helicopter was purely a stroke of luck."

Lu Zheng nodded.

"But even so, looking at the car chase, shooting, and dodging RPGs, it’s at the highest level of an elite human agent,"

Lin Wan said, "After our meticulous analysis and behavior pattern judgment, we have some guesses about your identity."

Lu Zheng was very curious, "Who am I?"

"You came from the Navy SEALs or the Green Berets, then entered an intelligence organization, either the CIA or NSA, and have executed numerous missions worldwide with rich combat experience and undoubtedly countless kills," Lin Wan said.

Lu Zheng, "..."

"And you were probably doing black ops for some bigwig and were to be eliminated. Although you narrowly escaped, all your records were erased, turning you into a ghost man."

Lu Zheng was speechless, "Is your analyst a part-time scriptwriter?"

"You came to Miami probably preparing to smuggle out to Cuba, either detected by the other side or accidentally exposed.

But that’s not important, once exposed, you had to start a massacre and create a massive commotion in Miami, causing the Lighthouse Country to lose a lot of face internationally."

"Then what? Then what?" Lu Zheng was a bit curious about the rest of his story too.

Lin Wan held back her laughter, continued, "The analysis suggests you are definitely no longer at the Curry Building, either killed by assassination or have quietly escaped, whether you’re hiding in Miami or have already smuggled out is unclear."

"You should fire that analyst soon, lest you get led astray in a real case,"

Lu Zheng said, "These are all classic Hollywood clichés, clearly watched too many movies."

Lin Wan couldn’t help but give Lu Zheng a smack, "My analysis is in there too."

"What’s your analysis?"

"That you definitely aren’t in the Curry Building is my conclusion," Lin Wan said.

Lu Zheng was dumbfounded, "Does that even need analysis?"

"Certainly, because I am also an elite expert," Lin Wan declared proudly, "So they sought my opinion, asking what I would do in such a situation."

"What would you do?"

Lin Wan said, "Go out immediately, of course, why give those people time to prepare and set up defenses?"

"How to get out?"

"Sewers," Lin Wan shrugged, "Isn’t that how it’s done in the movies?"

Lu Zheng, "..."

Lin Wan laughed, "You have to know that art comes from life, the Lighthouse Country’s sewers have saved quite a few criminals’ lives."

Lin Wan chuckled, "In the Lighthouse Country’s sewers, it’s a mix of different kinds, with unknown numbers of homeless people, junkies, and criminals. That’s the real lawless place."

Lu Zheng could only shake his head without saying more.

The culture of sewers in the Lighthouse Country can be seen in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and various movies, animations, and games all feature sewers as a backdrop.

These sewers give an impression of being large and having advanced infrastructure, but also being chaotic, a mix of all sorts.

As to which sentiment would prevail in the national psyche, that depends on the strength of the recipient country’s power.

"Alright then, the analysis is pretty good!" Lu Zheng nodded earnestly.

"Not just us, but several other countries have drawn similar conclusions, including the Lighthouse Country itself."

"The Lighthouse Country itself?"

Lin Wan nodded, "According to intelligence, several agencies have begun internal checks to see if this person is one of their own."

"Why?"

Lin Wan said, "Because you truly demonstrated formidable combat power. If it weren’t too serious, they might not give up on you, especially since you are Asian; if they could deploy you... haha..."

Lu Zheng’s eyes flashed, "The imperialist’s ambition to crush us never dies!"

Lin Wan couldn’t help but smile, "Too bad, they are destined to be disappointed."
