Wei Shu did not expect that the seemingly ordinary young man named Gu Shen would attract such attention with the case he was involved in.

The bright lights in the hospital were dazzling.

The long corridor was silent, echoing with the orderly footsteps of iron boots.

Wei Shu, who was not tall, was followed by a dozen burly men, each with a cold and stern expression, sharp like a knife, and as hard as iron. Beside him was the "Chief Judge" in charge of the Qinghe District Prison. Compared to the group of burly men behind him, the Chief Judge was not tall, but rather small and hunched. The face under the black wide-brimmed hat was rugged like a rock, and there was a terrifying scar that snaked and twisted like a centipede on the bridge of his nose.

The Chief Judge was reading the file written by Wei Shu, walking slowly.

So the burly men behind him all lowered their pace, quietly like needles, with soft footsteps.

And Wei Shu could hear his own heartbeat nervously... These people were just here to accompany the "interrogation" of a seventeen-year-old boy. But now, this terrifying show of force seemed like an attack on a fortress. He had no doubt that with a command from the Chief Judge, these guys could even blast through a 10cm thick steel plate!

"Interesting..."

The Chief Judge murmured softly. Wei Shu noticed that the gaze of the Chief Judge did not linger too long on the file of A-009, but instead froze on the second case file.

The fire that occurred twenty-eight hours ago.

The fire had a great negative impact on Da Tong City... There was a lot of public pressure, and the authorities had not yet found a suitable reason to explain the sudden fire and the power and network failures at that time.

But the most noteworthy thing in the case file was "Gu Shen".

The starting point of the explosion was Gu Shen's residence. He himself was only unconscious. From the scene, it seemed that he was lucky enough to survive because of an unreasonable rain that extinguished the fire.

But everyone knew that this was nonsense.

Wei Shu was well aware that this was an extraordinary event. Someone had launched an assassination against Gu Shen... but they all died. Two bodies were found near the rooftop, one was brutally dismembered, and the other was burned to charcoal by the intense fire.

Wei Shu couldn't imagine how this lucky boy who survived the attack of A-009 could awaken such a terrifying "transcendent power"... With his authority, he searched the "Deep Sea" district of Da Tong City and found only one or two similar cases in the past thirty years that could be compared to him.

This was an extremely dangerous existence.

Now even the Chief Judge had been alarmed and chose to personally take action. This boy named Gu Shen... his fate would probably be very bleak.

Wei Shu sighed in his heart... He didn't know whether to control and observe Gu Shen or to directly detain him.

"We're here."

Wei Shu spoke softly, feeling sorry for the boy.

...

...

The door was gently pushed open.

Contrary to what Wei Shu expected, the boy in the ward had already woken up. He was sitting on the bed, reading a newspaper, with a crack in the window, letting in a faint breeze that swayed the narcissus flower on the bedside.

The Chief Judge entered the ward with his hands behind his back, and the interrogation team blocked the door. Just this tall shadow was enough to suffocate people, but the boy just glanced up slightly and then shifted his gaze back to the newspaper--

The ward was surprisingly quiet and peaceful, making it unbearable to disturb.

The Chief Judge glanced at the window without any change in expression.

"Gu Shen, on behalf of Da Tong City Prison, I am here to inform you."

Wei Shu approached the bed and habitually spoke, "You are involved in two extraordinary events and will face a strict interrogation... The constitution requires me to..."

"The constitution requires me to inform you of the following rights. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court. You have the right to entrust one person before the trial, and they can accompany you throughout the interrogation." The boy raised his head and smoothly took over these words, his face still pale and sickly, but his eyes were clear like a lake. He smiled politely, "Long time no see, Mr. Wei Shu."

Wei Shu was stunned.

The phrase "long time no see" sounded somewhat ironic.

But it did give Wei Shu a sense of "long time no see".

It had been about thirty hours since they last met. This time, Gu Shen's temperament had changed completely. Wei Shu found it hard to believe that the calm boy sitting on the bed now was the same one who was terrified and acting like a clown during the last interrogation.

Was this kid... acting before?

After seeing off Gu Shen, Wei Shu always felt that there was an indescribable problem with the transcript file, such as the time period when the train carriage surveillance was disrupted. According to Gu Shen's description, it was his confrontation with A-009.

That was A-009, an extremely destructive uncontrollable being. They confronted each other for a full 20 minutes, and the train carriage was not destroyed, but the surveillance happened to fail... This was too unreasonable.

The only explanation was that this cunning boy had seen through the deception of the lost train carriage surveillance from the beginning and chose to conceal his true experience on the train.

So... the clown was not Gu Shen, but himself.

"The people from the Judgment Hall have just left."

The Chief Judge, who had been silent all along, spoke at this moment.

"That old man should have taught you how to deal with the upcoming interrogation..." He suddenly smiled, his voice as mellow as an old wine, sounding very magnetic and making people subconsciously feel a sense of goodwill and relax their guard, "Am I right?""What are you talking about?" Gu Shen looked utterly confused, his acting so convincing that he could have won an Oscar: "I don't understand."

The judge chuckled.

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

He raised his hand, and several burly men filed in.

"...Take him away."

...

...

"Name."

"Gu Shen."

"Age."

"Seventeen, and in one month and one day, it's my birthday..."

"Gender."

"???"

A familiar opening.

But this time, Wei Shu banged on the table, irritably saying, "Be serious, confess quickly!"

"Female... would you believe it?"

Gu Shen pointed to his hospital gown, his face equally unhappy, "I'm in the hospital, just got off the sickbed, and was brought here... Can't you guys show a bit of humanity?"

"Gu Shen... this interrogation is very serious, you'd better cooperate." Wei Shu lowered his voice, leaning in menacingly: "Do you know who that person outside is? He's the judge in charge of the entire Qinghe District!"

Judge?

Gu Shen shrugged, indicating his ignorance and fearlessness.

"About the fire that happened twenty-eight hours ago..." Wei Shu distanced himself, asking coldly: "The ignition point was in your bedroom, why did you survive, and why were you on the rooftop at that time?"

"Mr. Wei Shu, I'm a survivor and a victim, your words make me very sad." Gu Shen looked innocent, raised his head to look at the surveillance camera, and spoke slowly: "As for why I was there... It was about to rain, I went to the rooftop to collect my clothes, isn't that reasonable?"

It's not reasonable at all!

Who goes to the rooftop to collect clothes at three or four in the morning?!

But Wei Shu couldn't find a reason to refute... because it really did rain.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The door of the courtroom was opened after three light knocks. Seeing the figure of the judge, Wei Shu immediately stood up. He wanted to say something, but the old man gently patted his shoulder, "Wei Shu, I've read the file, you've done well, you've worked hard these days."

Wei Shu finally sighed and tactfully stood up and left.

So, only Gu Shen and the judge were left in the interrogation room.

"Gu Shen, I just finished reading the case file."

The old man casually sat down, put the case file on the table, and raised his hand to signal to turn off the surveillance. The light from the camera in the corner of the room dimmed.

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

He knew what this meant... the content of the next interrogation would not be known to a third person.

"Now, it's just the two of us. Relax."

"While that annoying old guy hasn't arrived yet." The judge raised his hands, propped them under his chin, and smiled: "Let's have a frank discussion, shall we?"
