Chapter 338 Escape alone
I am very curious about the answer to this question, so I want to test it, using myself as a test sample. If part of my memory could be deleted, turning me into a completely blank new person to experience a new life, would I end up like this?
I want to test myself and try to be a good person in the secular sense. If memory really determines good and evil, then I want to see if you will kill me now that I have become a good person."
In the screen, Su Ming smiled and reached out to close the video.
After the second video ended, Su Ming suddenly understood why the minister and his master looked at him like that.
Indeed, if we analyze this matter according to realistic logic, he is a suspect.
"You...shouldn't have convicted me, right?" Su Ming asked.
The two detectives looked at Su Ming and said, "We won't jump to conclusions so easily. As Miss Flora said just now, it's possible that this video is fake, and it's possible that the person in it has the ability to change his appearance. But at the same time, we can't declare you innocent. This matter needs to be investigated thoroughly, so we hope you can go back to the alliance with us and cooperate with the investigation."
Su Ming was silent. Xia Xiaoyu, who was standing next to him, looked at the criminal police, then at Su Ming, and asked softly, "Do you want me to prepare anything?"
"Not for now." Su Ming replied.
He stared into the detective's eyes and said word by word: "What if... I refuse."
"If you are innocent, why do you refuse? Don't you trust the alliance? ... I hope you can cooperate ."
"Master, do you believe in the alliance?" Su Ming turned to look at Liu Lingshan with a smile.
Liu Lingshan was stunned for a moment, and Su Ming's question made her expression even more solemn.
"Master, have you thought about it? You have thought about it!" Su Ming added anxiously.
Su Ming himself must know that he is not the person who committed the crime in the video, but from the perspective of Liu Lingshan and others, this matter is not so simple. Although he passed the test of the honest recorder, the person in the video also said that he wanted to erase his memory and become a good person. In this way, the honest recorder as evidence is no longer valid.
From an outsider's perspective, even if everyone is willing to believe him, it is impossible to trust him 100%. Careful investigation and verification is very necessary.
But this is the purpose of the mastermind who framed me!
"Please rest assured, the Alliance has many people with special abilities who specialize in investigating murders. We will never wrongly accuse anyone. Even if you really have lost your memory, the objects stored by the Alliance and the people with special abilities in the Ministry of Public Security can still confirm what you have done. If you are innocent, you will be absolutely fine." said the criminal police.
"Master, didn't you expect it?" Su Ming stood up and shouted to Liu Lingshan.
The criminal police stood up, took out an object from his arms, and warned sternly: "Su Ming, please calm down, otherwise we will take compulsory measures."
Su Ming ignored the other party. He stared at Liu Lingshan, hoping that the other party could think of the key point.
Previously, the Mysterious Eye they captured was a high-ranking official within the alliance. It can be foreseen that there may be other members of the Mysterious Eye in important positions within the alliance. As Su Ming is a special person who can see the Mysterious Eye, he will inevitably be besieged by the Mysterious Eye, so it is normal for him to be harmed without reason.
The purpose of the person who sent these videotapes was not to make the Alliance find Su Ming guilty, but simply to have the Alliance temporarily detain Su Ming.
Just by detaining him, the Mysterious Eye would have enough opportunities to kill him. Even if he was protected by a strong man like Liu Lingshan, with the power that ignores cause and effect, it would not be difficult for the other party to bypass Liu Lingshan's protection and kill the suppressed Su Ming.
Everything is so coincidental... This must be a trap!
So he must not go with these people!
Besides himself, the only one who knows the key information is Liu Lingshan, so Liu Lingshan is the only one who can deduce the same guess as him.
"What a coincidence, isn't it?" Liu Lingshan looked at Su Ming with cold eyes.
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Although Liu Lingshan's attitude seemed still cold, he knew that Liu Lingshan was on his side... he knew.
"But this is not just a murder case, it's also a political issue," Liu Lingshan continued.
She said this to Su Ming, and Su Ming understood what she meant. If he wanted to escape now, no one would be able to help him. Helping him would mean betraying the alliance, which was an unacceptable result for Liu Lingshan, who had political ideals.
The criminal police officer standing by frowned slightly and looked at Liu Lingshan, feeling a little aggrieved.
He had said before that in this interrogation room, he had the power to ask anyone who spoke without raising their hand to leave the room, but the person who violated the rules was Liu Lingshan, which made the criminal police a little at a loss as to what to do. It felt very impolite to ask this great hero to leave the room, and it seemed that he was mean and cold.
"Deputy Director Liu, uh... please raise your hand to speak." The criminal police reminded tactfully.
Liu Lingshan nodded, raised his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I violated the rules. Thank you for your understanding."
"You're welcome!" The detective felt honored.
Sylvie raised her hand and was allowed to speak.
"I think Xiao...Su Ming has something else to say. He seems to have his own guesses about these two videos. We might as well listen to them."
The criminal police turned to look at Su Ming, nodded, and agreed readily.
"Go ahead."
Before coming to the Seventh Bureau, the two detectives had done their homework and conducted a sufficiently detailed investigation on Su Ming. From the current investigation, Su Ming is definitely a heroic figure. He entered the S-level weird phenomenon Black Gate, eliminated the entrenched forces in the Black Gate, and protected those brainwashed children at great risk.
Afterwards, he also entered the white fog, opening up a new strategic idea for the alliance to transfer demons. Although the credit was not only Su Ming's, he played an indispensable role in that incident.
After coming out of the white fog, he risked his life to fight the beast demon alone. All the cadres of the Investigation Bureau of Dongyang Island witnessed it with their own eyes. With no one to support him and all the high-level combat forces transferred, he killed the demon alone at the risk of his life. A person like him would never do such a cruel act of killing innocent people.
But... since the doubts exist, they must be cleared up. As police officers from the Alliance Public Security Department, they must not act based on their own subjective judgment. Therefore, based on these eight videos, they must assume that Su Ming was once a prisoner who tortured and killed innocent people, but now he has lost his memory and has become a good person, who is not sure whether it can be considered temporary or not.
"First of all, I have a few questions to ask. The first is, if I go to the Alliance, will I be able to clear my name?"
"Yes, we have many talented people in the Ministry of Public Security. If your memory has really been erased, then we can find traces of your memory being erased from the clues." The criminal police said, "Human memory is continuous and uninterrupted, even in dreams. Although it will be forgotten, it still exists. We can use supernatural powers to investigate, so the alliance will not wrongly accuse you."
Su Ming's heart sank, and he felt even more uneasy.
He is a time traveler, and a time traveler whose memory has been deleted. There is a very obvious gap in his experience from his death in his previous life to his awakening in the rain at the subway station. If the supernatural beings in this world can really detect this gap, then these false accusations will be confirmed.
Is this a coincidence? Or was it something the framer had planned long ago?
There aren't so many coincidences in the world. If this was a step in the plan of the person who framed him, then it is highly likely that the time traveler who was chasing him was in cahoots with the group of people from the Mysterious Eye.
No matter what, he must not leave with these people!
But it is not an easy thing to escape from here. The obstacles to escaping from this place are the two detectives in front of you. They seem to have special storage objects that they can use.
Apart from the two of them, Zhang Tianxiao might be able to help, but the master would definitely not help, and even if he did, he wouldn't be serious about it. The problem is the minister.
The minister doesn't know the details of the mysterious eye, so in her eyes, her perspective on this matter is one-way, and she may not necessarily support herself.
And even if he wanted to escape, he would need to prepare equipment in advance. This is an empty island and he cannot leave without flying transportation.
"It seems... what I said yesterday is about to come true." Liu Lingshan said casually.
Su Ming's heart trembled, and he remembered what Liu Lingshan said yesterday - "Xiao Ming, you will have to leave us soon, so be prepared."
It seemed as if these words were spoken specifically for what happened today, but judging from the Master's expression and the attitude he showed at the beginning, this matter was obviously beyond Liu Lingshan's expectations.
She just repeated what she said yesterday, probably to let him prepare to escape.
The criminal police continued to play the remaining videos. Suddenly, one of the policemen's phone rang. He took out his phone to answer the call. After a few seconds, he put it down and said to everyone, "There is a new video. The Ministry of Public Security has sent people to track down the IP address that sent the video. You can all take a look at this new video."
A new video began to play. This video was taken in an alley on a rainy day. A man with a broken leg was crawling with difficulty in a dirty puddle. Su Ming's laughter was heard outside the camera. Then the man crawling on the ground suddenly roared, turned over, and flames ignited in his palms and blasted towards the camera!
"It's very interesting." Su Ming said so in the video. Su Ming's hand appeared in the screen, holding a piece of ice and piercing the opponent's abdomen, and then leaning over to touch the opponent. The person with the fire ability let out a heart-wrenching scream when being touched.
The screams lasted for more than thirty seconds, and during those thirty seconds, everyone present looked unhappy.
Finally, there was complete silence, and a fire ignited in Su Ming's palm.
"This is my last video. To make sure you believe this is me... Now, it's time to decide. As the side of justice, will you kill me, now that I've become a partner of justice? Haha! Hahahaha!"
The video stopped abruptly. There was a dead silence in the interrogation room. Su Ming stared at the last frozen image on the white wall with wide eyes and said, "This is not me!"
"He has the ability to seize supernatural powers just like you," said the detective.
"This can be faked! The two people in the video were acting! The guy who used the fire was not the victim at all!" Su Ming retorted loudly.
He knew, he was sure of his judgment!
Those who were chasing him have joined forces with the Mysterious Eye hidden in the alliance, and the traversers are well aware of his abilities, otherwise they would not have been able to fake a scene that is so close to the real capture.
The other party had no intention of deceiving him. Perhaps he knew that he had super intuition, so he was too lazy to lie.
This was a blatant conspiracy. Even if Su Ming knew the truth, it would be useless because of the large amount of evidence piled up. Anyone who didn't know him would think that there was a greater chance that he was once a murderer.
"Whether it is true or not, please come with us first. We have prepared an airship to escort you. If someone really wants to frame you, we can also protect you." said the criminal police.
Su Ming glanced at the criminal policeman. He felt that the aura emanating from him was different from before. Apparently, after getting the latest video, the policeman became more alert... Naturally, it was expected.
"I understand." Su Ming lowered his head, his expression hidden in the shadows, "When do we set off?"
"Let's set off now." the other party said.
Su Ming nodded.
The only way out is to escape.
"Xia Xiaoyu, knock out these two police officers, and also knock out that man over there." Su Ming said, pointing at Zhou Yuhao not far away.
Among the people present, the only ones who would not stab him in the back are Flora and Ansiriel. Liu Lingshan and the minister are also unlikely to do so. As for Minister Zhang... From the first day Su Ming joined the Investigation Bureau, he felt that Xia Xiaoyu's sneak attacks would be ineffective against him.
Xia Xiaoyu walked behind the two policemen and gave them two naked chokes from behind, knocking them unconscious. She then knocked out Zhou Yuhao, the star newcomer of the special attack department.
She turned to look at Su Ming and asked, "Do you want to knock out the others as well?"
"No, I have something to say." Su Ming looked at Liu Lingshan, "Master, I——"
Just as Su Ming was about to speak, Liu Lingshan stood up first and said to himself, "There should be a lot of people from the Ministry of Public Security outside, maybe some experts... I'm going to go to the data room to retrieve data, which will take about fifteen minutes. During this time, if someone escapes with abilities similar to Bruel's, it would be understandable."
"Deputy Director, is this okay?" Zhang Tianxiao glanced at Liu Lingshan lazily.
"Xiao Zhang, you are more familiar with the information in the reference room, right? Help me find it."
"Actually, I'm not very familiar with it... Oh, I shouldn't have come if I had known." Zhang Tianxiao's face was full of reluctance. He glanced at Su Ming emotionlessly, stood up and followed Liu Lingshan out.
Xi Wei smiled at Su Ming, her eyes softened. "I've been thinking a lot, and I think there's something wrong with this. But you can't get away alone, Xiao Ming. There are experts among the people from the Ministry of Public Security, and they brought the containment objects... Have you thought about it? If you run away, you can't come back."
"If I stay, I will die. I don't want to die." Su Ming smiled. "Also, thank you for trusting me until the end."
"I don't know if this is right. I hope I'm not wrong." Sylvie said calmly, her eyes softening. "Also, this is a choice, not trust. I have never distrusted you... Xiao Ming, we are all making a choice, and you are the same."
