A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 550 Analysis

As soon as he finished speaking, Potato suddenly stopped and turned around, then started walking forward uncontrollably.

"What the hell?! What the hell?! Why can't I control myself?!"

"stop."

When Tudou reached them, Tianyue said "Stop," and Tudou stopped as instructed.

“Turn around,” Tianyue said again.

Potato turned right to face Tianyue—

"Tear a cry."

“Wow~”

"Smile."

"Hahahaha~"

"stop."

Potato suddenly stopped laughing, and Tianyue said smugly, "How about it, big guy, are you convinced or not? Do you want me to turn you into a pile of scrap metal?"

Although Potato is a robot, a product of human high technology, he has a sophisticated system in his brain that is equivalent to that of a human brain, so he can speak fluently and possesses all the qualities that humans should have.

"No, no, bro, you're so cool, you're so good, I'm impressed."

Tianyue smiled smugly and said, "That's more like it."

Potato suddenly grabbed Tianyue's hand and said, "Brother, what kind of magic did you use just now? Why can't I control myself!"

"Want to know?" Tianyue asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Let me think about it," Potato nodded.

"Hehe," Tianyue grinned and said, "I'm not going to tell you."

"Brother, just tell me!"

"I'm not telling you, because you said what to me again."

"Brother, I was wrong! Please just tell me, okay?"

"No."

Chao Bufan suddenly realized that although Tian Yue was a Palace Spirit, his exposure to things was limited, especially to the ordinary yet challenging human society. He seemed very interested in it, and sometimes his behavior could only be described as that of a "three-year-old child," which was really not something to be complimented.

However, the human and the machine seemed to get along quite well. One was very interested in the fruits of human invention, while the other was interested in the extraordinary abilities that humans possessed. The two naturally started playing together, and for a time, they even ignored the extraordinary abilities.

Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, thinking to himself, with these two rascals in the house, there will probably never be peace again! Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, let them make a fuss if they want. He looked at his watch, then went downstairs to the living room, sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

A moment later, Tang Guoqiang walked in from outside. Chao Bufan didn't even open his eyes and said, "Old Tang, didn't you say you were solving a case?"

Tang Guoqiang grunted in agreement and said, "You're solving a case. Not bad, this trip abroad must have been quite fruitful, right?"

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "This trip was worthwhile."

Tang Guoqiang nodded and said, "Some time ago, the higher-ups inquired about your situation. Considering your special circumstances, they plan to send an assistant to the company to handle all matters inside and outside the company for you. They asked me to ask for your opinion."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Let them arrange it however they want! What objections could I possibly have?"

These words, if spoken in the past, would certainly have carried a hint of sarcasm, but now it's completely different. It's no exaggeration to say that he now has a harem of wives and concubines, and money galore, more than he could ever spend in several lifetimes. Therefore, now that he possesses power, influence, and wealth, he has lost the passion he once had for many things, taking a more detached view. And what he now pursues is far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

“Then I’ll tell my superiors,” Tang Guoqiang nodded, “and have them send someone down in the next few days.”

Tang Guoqiang hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Bufan, the boss asked me to ask you when you have time; he wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan opened his eyes, slightly surprised, and said, "The boss wants to see me? Did he say what it was about?"

Tang Guoqiang shook his head and said, "The boss didn't say."

Chao Bufan thought for a moment, then said, "Old Tang, then tell the boss that I'll go see him another day, and tell him not to come looking for me, lest something unexpected happens. If something happens to the boss, then I'll become a sinner for all eternity."

Upon hearing this, Tang Guoqiang nodded and smiled, "Okay, then I'll tell the boss."

"By the way, Lao Tang, has the murderer who killed Wu Siling been found yet?" Chao Bufan asked.

Tang Guoqiang shook his head, then sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Chao Bufan asked again.

Tang Guoqiang gave a bitter smile and said, "The murderer is very cunning. His investigative and counter-investigative abilities are very strong. After burning the body to destroy the evidence, we only found a '9*9mm' bullet shell at the scene. We found nothing else."

"Was it fired from a Browning pistol?" Chao Bufan asked.

Tang Guoqiang nodded and said, "The old chief and Lao Su and the others have already gone to various places to look for clues."

Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Old Tang, I know a little about Wu Siling. With his strength, I'm afraid ordinary people can't hurt him!"

Tang Guoqiang nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, if we're talking about fighting skills and other aspects, Wu Siling is still better than me. We used to compete often when we were young, and I rarely had the chance to beat him."

"Wu Siling was killed in his own home, which is within the military base, right?" Chao Bufan asked.

"Yes." Tang Guoqiang nodded and said, "He was murdered at home. We have investigated and it was not done by anyone close to him. It is very likely that this was the work of assassins from some country."

Chao Bufan frowned and pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "If it was the work of an assassin, then he wouldn't have left any clues at the scene, especially bullets. As a qualified assassin, under normal circumstances, when carrying out a mission, they would either use their bare hands or some kind of sharp weapon to kill the target with one blow, unless it was absolutely necessary to shoot the target."

Upon hearing this, Tang Guoqiang was slightly startled, because what Chao Bufan said was exactly what he had overlooked. As a qualified assassin, Chao Bufan was indeed as he described. It wasn't that he hadn't investigated thoroughly. According to someone close to Wu Siling, when he got up to use the restroom last night, the lights in Wu Siling's house were still on. After he finished urinating, Wu Siling's house burst into flames. From the time he called the fire department to the arrival of the firefighters, only four or five minutes had passed. By the time the fire was extinguished, they discovered that Wu Siling and his wife had already been murdered. According to this person, he didn't notice anything unusual last night, let alone hear any gunshots. Not only him, but no one around him heard any gunshots that night either.

Tang Guoqiang frowned, then said, "Bufan, based on your experience, what kind of person do you think they are?"

Chao Bufan said, "Since no one noticed anything before Wu Siling was murdered, it means that the murderer was very likely already lurking in Wu Siling's home, or that Wu Siling and his wife were already murdered. From this, we can infer that the murderer knew the daily routines of Wu Siling and his wife very well. The reason the murderer left a bullet shell was that he deliberately threw it there to mislead the police. Therefore, the murderer is very likely someone close to Wu Siling, or someone he trusted and was closest to. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the murderer is an assassin, but this possibility is unlikely."
