Chapter 39 Two Handwritings
Chapter 39 Two Handwritings
Li Jiuhe has recovered from the shock of having his perception altered.
As long as the authorities don't blame him for killing the Terror Eater and stealing the Morning Bell from the museum, he doesn't really have anything else to worry about.
Most importantly, his long-held concern was completely overturned by the fact that he "didn't have a daughter at all."
This left him with a sense of emptiness that he couldn't shake off in a short time, but he had begun to silently accept it.
He agreed to go to the Investigation Bureau with Chen Zhenghai and Xu Wei to register, but he had to take a shower and change his clothes first.
During this period, I have been constantly running around in the Erqi Morning Bell Space, which has expended a lot of energy and made me sweat a lot.
Fortunately, due to the different time flow in the alternate dimension, he did not feel tired.
While Li Jiuhe was taking a shower, Chen Zhenghai and Xu Wei waited in the living room.
Hearing the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, Xu Wei asked Chen Zhenghai softly, "Team Leader Chen, you said Li Jiuhe has other work to do after registering. Do you mean...?"
Chen Zhenghai nodded: "Once the bureau's system confirms that he has no criminal record and he is willing, I would like to hire him directly."
Xu Wei was surprised: "Why? I think you should have already noticed something about him."
"That's right." Chen Zhenghai glanced in the direction of the restroom. "His account was mostly truthful; he just omitted some details, which doesn't count as deceiving us. You see, every Sequence User has their own secrets, and this is a form of self-protection for him."
"You're going to recruit him into the Investigation Bureau for more than just that reason, right?" Xu Wei blinked.
Chen Zhenghai laughed: "Of course not. His ability to define tasks is very strange. There are probably some details he hasn't told us. But overall, this ability is not only special but also very powerful."
Xu Wei nodded: "Being able to emerge from the city-destroying Second Seven Morning Bell space, one would expect their ability to be quite good."
"Not only is it not bad," Chen Zhenghai said. "Currently, this 27 Morning Bell has already merged and connected with Li Jiuhe's sequence ability, which means that his power will only be stronger than we imagined."
"Integration and connection?" Xu Wei frowned.
Chen Zhenghai explained, "The 27 Morning Bell is a special life form's sequence object. This kind of sequence object can achieve a certain degree of fusion and connection with human sequence users. We haven't figured out the specific reason yet, but this means that Li Jiuhe's sequence ability may be enhanced. The Investigation Bureau currently needs people with this kind of comprehensive sequence ability."
Xu Wei nodded in surprise, while a greater curiosity about Li Jiuhe arose in her heart.
Li Jiuhe quickly finished showering and went to the master bedroom to find a comfortable set of clothes to change into.
He wore this outfit a while ago, and only recently washed it and put it away in the closet.
After putting on his clothes, he habitually reached into his pocket and froze.
He quickly took out what was in his pocket: two folded pieces of paper with some words written on them.
What these words are doesn't matter, and although they got wet when I washed them, the words are still quite clearly visible.
He unfolded both sheets of paper. On one sheet, the handwriting was crooked and looked as if the writer had only recently learned to write. On the other sheet, the handwriting was neat and tidy.
This was the evidence he provided to the police when he went to the police station to report that Li Yi was not his daughter.
Holding the two pieces of paper, Li Jiuhe's face was full of disbelief, especially when he looked at the paper with crooked handwriting, his hands began to tremble.
He quickly turned and left the bedroom, then said to Chen Zhenghai and Xu Wei, who were waiting in the living room, "If my understanding has been changed, and I don't have a daughter, then... how do you explain these two pieces of paper?"
The two waiting people were taken aback. Chen Zhenghai took the paper that Li Jiuhe handed over and looked at it carefully.
Li Jiuhe said, "The paper in your hand was written by my daughter before. She had just learned to write, and her handwriting wasn't very good. This one was written by the guy who possessed my daughter; the handwriting is neat and beautiful."
Xu Wei was also surprised. She moved closer to Chen Zhenghai and looked carefully at the piece of paper with crooked writing on it.
Chen Zhenghai quickly came to a guess: "That guy probably wanted to deliberately deepen your memory of having a daughter. First, he wrote down the words of your previous 'daughter,' and then he wrote down his own words, so that you could unintentionally compare them and be sure that you had a daughter before."
"But these two pieces of paper are from different years." Li Jiuhe pointed to the older piece of paper. "This piece of paper was already a bit yellowed, but I didn't notice it when I was doing laundry, so now it seems... not very noticeable."
"It's okay if you can't tell," Chen Zhenghai reassured him. "We can have it examined by the police station's specialized forensic agency, and we'll have the results in a few days."
"Okay... okay, then thank you for your help." Li Jiuhe knew there was hope and immediately felt excited.
Although it is hard to accept that one's perception has been changed, every action of one's daughter from childhood to adulthood has been deeply imprinted in one's mind.
He couldn't immediately deny his daughter's existence.
Although Li Jiuhe knew very well that Chen Zhenghai's statement was mostly credible, after all, the Sequencers in this world had all sorts of strange abilities.
They can even customize their own tasks, and this ability to change other people's perceptions is not particularly unusual.
The three quickly left the residential area and got into a police car from the Investigation Bureau that was waiting by the roadside.
The other staff members who had been waiting outside Li Jiuhe's house finally left.
According to Xu Wei, the Wangchuan City Special Incident Investigation Bureau was indeed located on the back street of the city police station, and it was almost impossible to find it unless you went to the back.
This indicates that the two units have definitely become deeply integrated in some cases.
The wooden sculpture of the Stomach Abyss has been taken by the Investigation Bureau for containment processing according to procedure.
Meanwhile, Li Jiuhe began the registration process for the sequencers, and Chen Zhenghai immediately called over a police officer from the police station behind the building, asking him to take the note written by Li Yi in the past for identification and informing him to get the results as soon as possible.
The registration process was not complicated. During the process, Li Jiuhe also registered his personal characteristics such as pupils and fingerprints. At the same time, the Investigation Bureau established a serial number file for him and included him in the unified national management.
Unbeknownst to him, at the same moment, his personal information had already been thoroughly investigated by the Bureau of Investigation.
The result was exactly the same as Xu Wei and her team's previous investigation, and there was nothing wrong with it.
After the procedure was completed, Xu Wei sent Li Jiuhe an introduction to the Wangchuan City Special Events Investigation Bureau, which even included a brief introduction to some of the contained Sequence Individuals and some special uncontained Sequence Individuals.
Soon, Chen Zhenghai called him to his office and placed a recommendation form in front of Li Jiuhe.
"I would like to invite you to join our Investigation Bureau as an investigator. The compensation is generous, you'll enjoy certain privileges, and you'll be able to utilize the Bureau's resources to resolve your current troubles."
Li Jiuhe looked up at Chen Zhenghai in surprise, but didn't say anything.
Chen Zhenghai continued, "For example, we are about to catch a tracker who can find any person, thing, or clue he wants, including Li Yi, regardless of whether your daughter is real or not."
