41: Chapter 41 Police Department Case Handling

Just then, Jiang Xuan suddenly smiled without speaking.

He merely slowly raised his right hand, gently placing his index finger against his lips to make a gesture for silence.

The next instant, the entire playground instantly fell silent, and all sounds vanished in a flash, even the sound of breathing seemed suppressed by some formless force.

At this moment, the relaxed expressions on all the students' faces vanished, replaced by profound shock.

Standing in the crowd, Fang Yun's pupils contracted slightly, and the vital energy within his body began to circulate uncontrollably.

Sensing the anomaly, Jiang Xuan's gaze suddenly lingered on Fang Yun for a brief second, the surprise in his eyes flashing past and vanishing instantly.

"Students."

Jiang Xuan's voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"This final assessment is divided into two stages."

"The first stage of the assessment will be conducted first."

"All students will enter the Divine Kingdom Battle Platform to engage in simulated combat on a class-by-class basis. The top five students in final rankings for each class will advance to the second stage of assessment."

Without the lengthy speeches everyone imagined, Jiang Xuan left directly after briefly announcing the assessment matters, as if he had never appeared at all.

Until his aura completely vanished did the students feel their bodies grow light, and that formless pressure finally dissipated.

But at this moment, no one dared to chat casually like before; everyone's eyes carried a look of shock.

Looking at the spot where Jiang Xuan had vanished, Ye Tian's eyes revealed a look of yearning, while Muxi stood quietly as always, unblemished and standing aloof from the world.

Soon, under the guidance of their teachers, the students of each class prepared to enter the school's training area.

The Divine Kingdom Battle Platform required connection through a special simulation capsule. Upon entering, divine lords could project the believers from their own divine kingdoms to engage in simulated battles with other divine lords.

The combat process would not affect the real divine kingdoms, nor would it damage any believers. This was also a technology specially developed by the Human Federation to cultivate young gods.

In fact, the Human Federation also had a similar official battle platform.

Whether it was a First-Order God or a high-order existence, anyone could enter it to battle, and the higher the ranking, the stronger the represented strength.

Even some high-order gods would hide their identities to participate in it. It was one of the most popular virtual platforms in the entire human alliance, boasting hundreds of billions of active users.

At this time, Feng Hao in Fang Yun's class felt somewhat nervous inside, and his gaze looking at Fang Yun carried some fear.

He knew that with his own strength, teaching Fang Yun a lesson was probably impossible. The number of Barbarians his divine kingdom had developed up until now was only tens of thousands, not even as many Barbarians as Fang Yun had during the last month-end evaluation.

Ever since Fang Yun offended him last time, he had also thought of using his family connections to find someone to teach Fang Yun a lesson, but he wasn't stupid enough to strike directly.

He asked his family connections to investigate Fang Yun's background in advance, but without a doubt, the result he obtained was completely identical to the result the Zhao family obtained.

Furthermore, no matter what connections were used, the information found out was the exact same—Fang Yun was just an ordinary high school student.

Yet the more it was like this, the less Feng Hao dared to act casually; he always felt that Fang Yun had not been right since the day of his awakening.

Ten parts, or rather nine parts unusual!

The most obvious point was that he actually stopped fighting with him over Su Qianqian!

He had observed Fang Yun a few times, and the other party seemed to act as if they didn't even know Su Qianqian; it was truly bizarre.

Fang Yun had no idea what Feng Hao was thinking. Although the other party had a loose mouth and provoked him, he had beaten the other party up later anyway, so the matter was considered settled between them.

He wasn't a petty person either; since scum like Feng Hao didn't come to provoke him, he couldn't be bothered to deal with the other party. The two sides were simply not people of the same tier.

Right at this moment, a commotion suddenly arose at the entrance of the playground, catching everyone's attention.

The teachers and students who were originally preparing to enter the training area for the assessment all stopped in their tracks.

"What is going on?"

"What happened?"

Everyone's gazes looked toward the playground entrance.

The next instant, a group of people dressed in black public security uniforms walked in, wearing the exclusive emblem of the Public Security Bureau on their arms—two sharp swords with tips pointing downward intertwined together, diagonally inserted into a silver shield.

Their steps were neat and they were fully armed, equipped entirely with specialized firearms and weapons from mechanical civilization divine kingdoms. These kinds of firearms possessed a certain lethality even against deities.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with an upright expression, as if no illegal or criminal act could escape his eyes.

As soon as the group stepped onto the playground, a formless might spread outward.

Feng Qingchen discovered that the lowest among the newcomers were actually First-Order Gods, and the aura of the leading man was even stronger—he was definitely a top expert among Second-Order ones.

They came to a halt in front of the teachers and students of Sunshine High School, and the leading man spoke with a solemn expression.

"I am Zhao Zhenguo, Chief of the Linjiang City Public Security Bureau. The Public Security Bureau is handling a case, everyone keep quiet."

The entire playground instantly quieted down, and curiosity appeared in everyone's eyes.

What was going on? Did someone in the school commit a crime? Which student, or perhaps some teacher?

The Public Security Bureau was the official institution of the Human Federation responsible for maintaining urban order, similar to the police of the old era.

But in this era of gods, the cases they handled far exceeded ordinary crimes.

Conflicts between gods, illegal operations, vicious criminal incidents, and even high-order gods violating the law all fell within their jurisdiction.

Without making everyone wait long, the middle-aged man directly asked: "Who is Fang Yun?"

Only then did everyone suddenly understand. The Public Security Bureau making such a big fuss turned out to be to find this fellow named Fang Yun. Who knew what kind of trouble the other party had committed?

Feng Qingchen and the classmates in Fang Yun's class were somewhat shocked. What was the situation? Could it be Fang Yun from their own class, or was there someone with the same first and last name?

A sharp glint flashed through Fang Yun's eyes. It seemed the other party had come for the matter of him killing Zhao Ming.

Under the astonished gazes of his classmates and homeroom teacher Feng Qingchen, Fang Yun slowly stepped out from the ranks.

In front of more than a thousand people in the entire school, Fang Yun came to a halt right at the very front of the crowd.

"I am Fang Yun."

Zhao Zhenguo looked at the boy before him. In fact, he had long known who Fang Yun was; shouting it out in front of everyone just now was merely putting on an act and pretending not to know Fang Yun.

His gaze finally landed on Fang Yun, with no joy or anger visible on his face, as he spoke coldly:

"Fang Yun."

"Someone has reported you for suspected intentional homicide."

"Now, please cooperate with the investigation and come with us."

Boom! The entire playground instantly erupted.

Murder?

All the students were dumbfounded. Fang Yun was a murderer?

At this moment, Feng Qingchen stepped forward immediately.

She came to Fang Yun's side and said with a frown: "Chief Zhao, is there some misunderstanding here?"

"Fang Yun is still just a student, how could he possibly commit murder?"

Although Feng Qingchen felt that Fang Yun's personality had been somewhat unruly before, no matter how she looked at it, he didn't look like a fiend who would resort to murder.

"Chief Zhao, this is Sunshine High School. If there is no conclusive evidence, I hope you won't affect the students' assessment."

A barely perceptible arc appeared at the corner of Zhao Zhenguo's mouth—he took the bait!

"Evidence? Of course there is!"

Seeing him wave his hand, a holographic projection appeared before everyone.
