Chapter 986

Jenna's spirit tightened instantly, and she decided to soothe Lu Mianna and not give her the chance to go to Mushu Hospital until Lu Mian returned tomorrow night around seven or eight.

She looked at Lu Mianna and said sincerely:

"The investigation into the hotpot restaurant shooting hasn't ended yet. If you go to Mushu Hospital, you'll likely be taken to the police station. Even if the police can prove that you have nothing to do with Zarathustra's death, it will take a long time. You'll be detained for at least several days, which will cause you to lose your job."

Hearing the phrase "lose your job," Lu Mianna showed a not-too-obvious expression of fear:

"Hmm, I do have to hide for two days. After that, dressing as a man to go to work shouldn't be a problem."

She had already been instilled by Jenna with the setting that she was a security guard dressing as a man.

Jenna didn't dare to relax, looked at the curtains blocking the bright moonlight, and said to Lu Mianna:

"We can't go to Mushu Hospital, but we can go to the roof to blow some wind and soothe your mood."

"Okay." An uncontrollable smile appeared on Lu Mianna's clean and clear face.

Jenna first fixed the door lock, then took Lu Mianna out of Room 2303 and entered the rooftop via the elevator and stairs.

During the whole process, she hid a mirror in each hand to reflect light, create illusions, and cover her and Lu Mianna's figures to deceive the surveillance cameras.

Feeling the cool breeze that had faded the heat at night, Lu Mianna half-closed her eyes and breathed deeply twice.

She then walked to the guardrail wall at the edge of the rooftop, pointed to the top, and asked for Jenna's opinion:

"Can I sit up there?"

"Normal people can't, it's very dangerous, but you're fine. You have a very good sense of balance, better than an acrobat," Jenna wasn't afraid of Lu Mianna falling. She had enough ability to rescue her, so she wanted to test if the loophole hadn't been patched yet, and if she kept suggesting to Lu Mianna that she possessed abilities surpassing ordinary people, whether Lu Mianna would truly possess supernatural powers.

Lu Mianna placed her hands on the top of the guardrail wall, jumped up nimbly, and prepared to sit down.

Suddenly, her hand slipped, and she lost her balance, about to fall to the ground a hundred meters below.

Just at this moment, she felt multiple invisible ropes pulling her, helping her stabilize her figure.

"Phew, you scared me to death..." She turned her body sideways, looked at Jenna who had already sat down beside her, and patted her chest.

She thought it was Jenna who had pulled her.

Jenna, who had used invisible spider silk to slightly wrap Lu Mianna for protection, discovered that she had overlooked one thing:

This guy was currently in the bad luck brought about by the negative effect of the "Ring of Binding." Even if she truly obtained very good balance ability based on her own suggestion, she would still fail because she was too unlucky.

"Be careful," Jenna specifically urged.

Lu Mianna said "Hmm" and nodded gently.

She looked at the internal roads of the residential area with lights on below for a few seconds, raised her head, and cast her gaze toward the bright moon in the high sky.

The radiance of the bright moon and the light pollution of the city made the stars hide their figures.

Lu Mianna placed her hands on the top of the guardrail wall and watched the moon quietly, looking very engrossed.

I don't know how long passed, she suddenly said as if talking to herself:

"I remembered a poem."

She didn't turn her head, didn't look at Jenna, and continued to look at the bright moon in the high sky.

"What poem?" Jenna enjoyed the current peace and tranquility.

Lu Mianna maintained her gazing posture, her voice sounding slightly ethereal:

"I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, I lower my head to think of my hometown."

…………

Police Department, a certain conference room, still brightly lit late at night.

Lun Xiande stood in front of the whiteboard and pointed to two photos:

"We can make a judgment: this case involves supernatural powers. The murderer, or rather the criminal group, can use mirrors and the mirror world behind the mirrors."

Those two photos were one of the broken mirror in the changing room and the other of the broken glass window in the private room where the deceased was.

Officer Deng En sat below, nodded gently, and signaled for Lun Xiande to continue:

"Therefore, within the corresponding time period, those who were not in the hotpot restaurant lobby and not under surveillance are all suspects and need further investigation.

"They were very likely to have gone to a surveillance blind spot, used the mirrors they were carrying, and snuck back into the hotpot restaurant lobby, waiting for the deceased to return from the mirror world. If the deceased returned, he would deliver a fatal blow. If not, that would mean his companions had already succeeded."

Deng En raised his hand and pointed out the loophole in Lun Xiande's reasoning:

"It's also possible they were always lurking behind a certain mirror or glass window and hadn't appeared in the lobby of the Shujin Renjia hotpot restaurant before.

"Judging from the extent to which this group uses the mirror world, they didn't need to send people to the hotpot restaurant lobby in advance to wait by eating hotpot. They could completely wait until the time was almost up, or they received a signal, and then drill into the mirror world from afar, arriving at the predetermined assassination position. Look, that woman who walked out of the screen with Zarathustra also hadn't appeared in the lobby before."

After speaking, Deng En raised his palm and sniffed the tobacco pressed into his pipe.

"Yes," Lun Xiande admitted that there was no problem with what the captain said. "But we still need to re-examine those who left the hotpot restaurant lobby during that time period but weren't recorded by surveillance cameras in the state corresponding to the incident."

"Remove that latter condition," Deng En thought for two seconds and said. "People who can use the mirror world can also deceive surveillance cameras. You have to know that surveillance cameras rely on optical principles to record, while those who master mirrors are good at influencing light and creating optical illusions."

After Lun Xiande nodded, Deng En turned to Li En:

"Tell us about the preliminary investigation results."

Li En stood up and replaced Lun Xiande's position:

"Currently, dream questioning has been used on seventeen people, and they haven't noticed any abnormalities.

"Luo Shan: Very surprised by Zarathustra's death, can't believe it.

"Zhou Mingrui: Very vigilant against Zarathustra, but also didn't anticipate Zarathustra's death.

"Luo Fu: Left the lobby at the time and went to the women's restroom. There is no surveillance in the restroom, but she was also very surprised by Zarathustra's death and was clearly frightened.

"At first, listing the three of them as key investigation targets was because they were all employees of the Intis Group and might have been instigated by certain powerful figures within the Intis Group who didn't want the merger and reorganization to assassinate Zarathustra at the Shujin Renjia hotpot restaurant and disrupt the ongoing business negotiations. But they didn't know that Huang Tao and Zarathustra were also in the Shujin Renjia hotpot restaurant, and Luo Shan and Zhou Mingrui didn't leave the lobby at all during the whole process...

"The preliminary conclusion is that there's no problem with them."

Deng En expressed agreement, and Lun Xiande didn't say anything either.

After the in-depth discussion of the case, Deng En stood up and said to his subordinates:

"Currently, there are two key points: one, investigate the remaining suspects, including those Lun Xiande mentioned and those with substantial motives; two, find the woman who walked out of the screen with Zarathustra. Although she didn't attack Zarathustra at the time, the fact that she drilled out of the screen itself is worth paying attention to."

"Yes, Captain." Lun Xiande, Li En, and other police officers stood up and responded.

Deng En smiled and said seriously:

"This involves foreign guests and major commercial activities. You've worked hard. I'm going to find Deputy Chief Ya to report now."

…………

After watching the moon for more than half an hour and blowing the night wind for more than half an hour, Jenna took Lu Mianna back to Room 2303.

"Rest, your body hasn't fully recovered yet," Jenna pointed to the bedroom.

Lu Mianna, in her nightgown, opened the bedroom door and walked in, discovering that Franca, who was sick, had also woken up at some point because of her departure.

"Is your mood better now?" Franca had already learned from Jenna via WeChat what the two had done when they went out.

Lu Mianna looked at Franca and nodded with complex emotions:

"Much better."

Her emotions were complex because she remembered that Luo Fu and she were also a couple.

And this didn't affect the fact that she and Jenna were a couple.

I thought I was just an ordinary lesbian... How did the lesbian circle become so messy? Am I really a scumbag? Lu Mianna sat on the edge of the bed and said to Franca:

"Go to sleep quickly, I still have to go to work tomorrow."

Security guards have rotating shifts.

Franca looked at Lu Mianna and said with a smile:

"Did you forget? You asked for two days off, Friday and Saturday. Your director, Green, approved it."

Lu Mianna blinked:

"Oh right... I forgot. No wonder I don't have to work the middle shift today, I could go directly to Shujin Renjia in the evening..."

Looking at Lu Mianna like this, Franca suddenly felt she was a bit cute and naive.

After the two in the bedroom went back to sleep, Jenna also lay on the sofa, closed her eyes, and entered a deep sleep.

After a while, her astral projection arrived at Luo Shan's Shaman world, seeing that girl still guarding the translucent barrier, having already repelled a new round of attacks from the monsters.

Jenna's peripheral vision saw Franca's astral projection, wandering around in a daze just like the people around her.

This indicated that because Franca was sick, her consciousness had exited after entering.

Immediately after, Jenna discovered Lu Mianna's astral projection, and she also didn't possess a clear consciousness.

"She really isn't a Beyonder..." Just as Jenna developed this realization, she suddenly realized one thing.

Luo Shan should know!

It's very difficult to hide anything from her within the Shaman's "territory."

The next second, Jenna saw Luo Shan turn her body halfway and say to her:

"So Zarathustra really was killed by you guys."

Luo Shan had already seen Lu Mianna's astral projection and seen this beautiful woman who had walked out of the screen with Zarathustra.

"Yes, not telling you before was because I was worried the police had special means to confirm whether you were lying," Jenna explained.

Luo Shan asked back in confusion:

"Wasn't Luo Fu afraid of being discovered lying?"

"She performed corresponding hypnosis in advance," Jenna didn't hide it.

Luo Shan fell silent. After several seconds, she asked in a low, exceptionally difficult tone:

"Is, is this really a dream?"
