Chapter 311 Restrictions
Chen Ming drove the shuttle.
He headed for the police station where Cheng Xinghe was located at the moment according to the news that someone had just sent him.
He was thinking about the next move in his mind.
This matter was half clear at this point.
Because although only Cheng Xinghe was truly involved so far.
But in fact, the purpose of the person who created this incident was definitely not Cheng Xinghe.
A simple truth.
If Cheng Xinghe was really to be punished, there shouldn't be so many news spread on the school network, and Cheng Xinghe shouldn't have been sent to the confinement room like he was paraded through the streets before.
These unrestrained behaviors, which were to let the news ferment, revealed one thing.
That is, these news were deliberately released.
And Chen Ming also believed that even if he was not there, even if he didn't care at all, Cheng Xinghe would be able to come out of the police station intact.
Someone was using Cheng Xinghe as a target to attack, and then trying to take the opportunity to attract the attention of others.
This other person could be someone from the Baiquan faction, or it could be Chen Ming himself.
It should be himself.
Chen Ming thought so.
After all, the current time point is too coincidental.
But what is the meaning of doing this? What is the purpose of attracting him here?
Where is the person behind the scenes? What does he want to do?
It seems to be targeting Cheng Xinghe, but in fact, it is targeting Chen Ming, but he didn't come to him. What is he targeting?
He will never give up halfway through doing things. There should be the next step soon.
Chen Ming should go to the police station first and meet Cheng Xinghe.
On the way to the shuttle.
Chen Ming took out the terminal and called He Gu to tell him that he would not be able to go to the headquarters of the Psychic Research Institute until tomorrow.
Originally, He Gu should have been able to wait for him today, but now it is definitely not possible.
After hanging up the phone.
Chen Ming noticed that Cheng Xinghai beside him lowered his head slightly, and his expression was still a little nervous and worried.
Although she had been on the battlefield, for the middle and lower-level officers on the battlefield, they only had to face the simplest life and death.
What happened here is obviously more complicated.
Chen Ming didn't have much to say, so he could only comfort her: "Don't worry, Cheng Xinghe will be fine."
"Yeah."
The shuttle arrived outside the police station soon after.
Chen Ming strode to the front desk of the police station.
The female receptionist at the front desk immediately asked enthusiastically after seeing Chen Ming's outfit: "Hello, what can I do for you?"
Chen Ming also looked at the receptionist and confirmed that she didn't know him and was not involved in this matter.
So Chen Ming didn't do anything extra, just said: "Looking for someone."
"Is it because I can't contact him or..."
"It's not that I can't contact him, he should have been arrested here."
The receptionist's hand that was registering on the computer immediately stopped, looked up at Chen Ming, and asked uncertainly: "What did you say?"
"He was arrested here, his name is Cheng Xinghe, we want to see him as a family member."
The receptionist was immediately in a panic.
However, a police officer came over from behind the front desk and motioned the receptionist to go somewhere else.
The new police officer looked at Chen Ming with an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, Cheng Xinghe is temporarily inconvenient to meet with you because he is an important suspect in a serious injury case. It is inconvenient for us to reveal too much other information."
Don't hit a smiling person. Chen Ming did not come up aggressively, but asked according to normal logic: "He is a suspect? What did he do?"
"It's just a beating that caused serious injuries. The injured are still in the hospital for rescue. It's inconvenient to say more about the details."
"Is there any evidence? Surveillance or something?"
"There must be evidence, but it's inconvenient to say the details."
"Even if it's family members, we can only explain the situation clearly, and we really can't say more."
"Even if you just want to see the surveillance?"
"No."
The continuous questioning made the police officer a little impatient: "It's really inconvenient for us to show the evidence to others, and even if we have it, we can't show it to you."
"Yeah."
Finally waiting for a clear answer, Chen Ming nodded calmly and turned to answer a phone call.
The people from the Baiquan faction on the other end of the phone were just helping Chen Ming.
They relied on the personnel within the police system and gave Chen Ming a temporary investigation authority to participate in this matter according to a legal provision.
That is, all criminal cases involving military families and reserve soldiers.
The relevant military departments can apply for an access authority to monitor the progress of the investigation of this case to prevent perjury and ensure that there will be no problems.
This authority will not be too high in general, but it is enough to understand the whole picture of the case.
Under normal circumstances, this authority will not be given to people who are related to the person at that time.
However, Cheng Xinghai is indeed a family member, but Chen Ming is not.
At least before the marriage, Chen Ming is an outsider in legal terms and can fully assume this responsibility.
The people of the faction also told Chen Ming the hospital where Liao Hongsheng was at the time.
Keep monitoring at all times.
After Chen Ming finished the call.
The police officer in front of him quickly answered a call. During the response, his eyes looking at Chen Ming gradually became suspicious.
After a few hours, he put down the phone and said to Chen Ming: "What do you want to do?"
"Like I said just now, I want to see the evidence."
"What type of evidence?"
"The most direct kind, monitoring will do."
The police officer thought about it and said: "We don't have monitoring evidence..."
Chen Ming punched the table.
He really wanted the psychic fluctuations to spread directly and control the entire police station. He personally searched the entire police station to see if there was any surveillance evidence.
But the psychic power that existed on the entire planet suddenly locked onto him again, obviously sensing the changes in Chen Ming's psychic fluctuations.
"Tsk."
Chen Ming had no choice but to take out a recorder from his pocket and press the play button.
This was the audio he had just recorded in the school guard room.
Everything the student who was guarding the door said was in it.
Although he usually prefers to use psychic power in a simple and rough way, Chen Ming will definitely not be less prepared.
"Do you need me to help you find the person?"
The act of slapping the policeman on the spot did not make the policeman blush at all.
Facing Chen Ming's questioning, he seemed to have no consciousness of having just told a lie, but said to Chen Ming: "Wait a minute."
After that, he turned around, went to the back of the front desk, and picked up the phone.
About ten minutes later.
The student who was guarding the school just now rushed to the police station.
His face was nervous, flustered, scared and terrified.
Not only towards Chen Ming, but also towards the police officer in front of him, and some other people who were not present.
He came to Chen Ming and the police officer, trembling and speaking intermittently: "That... I actually don't know anything, but he threatened me with his status as a colonel, so I was scared, so I thought about making up something to make him leave. What I said before was all false."
Chen Ming knew that what the student said at this time was the words taught to him by others. He was just an ordinary student, and it was not his problem, but he still had to say: "You'd better think it through."
But before the student could speak, the police officer next to him stopped Chen Ming and said: "Mr. Chen Ming, even if you do have this authority now and are a colonel, you can't threaten others in front of us casually."
Chen Ming snorted and said: "If you say a reminder as a threat, then I have to ask you what you mean by this?"
The police officer had a dark face and did not dare to answer Chen Ming for a while.
Chen Ming didn't want to look at the police officer any more, so he turned to the student and hung his colonel badge on his chest.
"Tell me, what is the real situation?"
"I... I..."
The student who was called in had stiff limbs and dared not move at all. His face was full of fear and he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Chen Ming had only frightened him a little before, and at that time the student could still communicate with him fluently.
Now, he stuttered when he spoke, so he must have been threatened by others.
And the threat to Chen Ming was more serious.
Chen Ming had already thought of many of the best ways to threaten a student.
Seeing him with tears in his eyes, Chen Ming said reluctantly: "Forget it, go away."
Chen Ming stopped asking the student questions and forced him to give a true answer.
He was just an unlucky student who was assigned to guard the door and was threatened by others.
It was really unnecessary.
But even after hearing what Chen Ming said, the student did not dare to move at all, and instead looked at the police officer.
The police officer immediately stepped forward, held his shoulder, and sent him out of the police station.
After a while, he turned back and said to Chen Ming: "I will help you find the surveillance, wait a moment."
"What? Do you have a guilty conscience?"
Chen Ming did not think that such a thing would happen in the world.
The police officer did not respond to Chen Ming and disappeared inside the police station.
Let Chen Ming wait outside.
Time passed quickly.
But the police officer did not come back.
Even though Chen Ming kept urging him, he returned to Chen Ming with empty hands after nearly an hour.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen Ming, the storage device for surveillance evidence is broken."
Now Chen Ming knew why the police officer suddenly had a change of heart.
However, he was not angry, but followed the logic of evidence damage and said: "It means that the evidence is gone, right?"
"The evidence that Cheng Xinghe was sent in is gone, can we release him?"
The police officer was completely a rogue at this time, and said; "That's still not possible."
Chen Ming laughed and said: "How was Cheng Xinghe sent to the confinement room? Because the surveillance camera captured him fighting first."
"Why can't you let Cheng Xinghe go? Because the surveillance camera is broken."
"Is this human language?"
The police officer said with a stern face: "I should be speaking human language, but you don't seem to understand."
Chen Ming is not used to sarcastic words, and the surging spiritual energy fluctuations surrounded him in an instant.
And just as Chen Ming made a move, the spiritual energy fluctuations that had locked Chen Ming when entering the space station also responded immediately.
They also entangled Chen Ming's body, locking Chen Ming's spiritual energy and preventing this spiritual energy fluctuation from being released.
Chen Ming did not relax, but he did not go further to directly call for psychic energy.
He maintained it within the original range.
But the psychic energy fluctuation did not accept this result. Instead, it further compressed Chen Ming's mental power and oppressed Chen Ming's consciousness, trying to force Chen Ming to give up using psychic energy.
It seems that even ordinary level 5 psychics may not be able to withstand this mental pressure.
But Chen Ming is not an ordinary person. The quality of his mental power is quite terrifying.
He has been training with various extremely strong negative effect spirit stones for a long time, and has also experienced the half-second experience of the scarlet dimension. The quality of his mental power is absolutely beyond doubt.
Even if it comes from the oppression of a level 6 psychic, Chen Ming can easily bear it.
But Cheng Xinghai can't.
She has been following Chen Ming from the beginning. When Chen Ming was targeted by a level 6 psychic, she could also feel the terrifying power from the outside world on Chen Ming.
Even the aftermath of this power made her face pale. Her current strength is not enough to compete.
Just when Cheng Xinghai was about to collapse, Chen Ming's spiritual power instantly enveloped Cheng Xinghai, protecting her from the oppression of this spiritual power that came from nowhere.
As for the others, even if they did not need Chen Ming's protection, they did not feel the effect of this spiritual power at all.
This was the targeting of the level 6 psychic.
Cheng Xinghai felt better immediately, but she immediately looked at Chen Ming nervously.
Although Chen Ming's face showed a relaxed look, her worry did not decrease.
"Chen Ming..."
Chen Ming waved to her, indicating that he was fine.
He just stood there, resisting the oppression of the psychic.
Three minutes later.
Chen Ming's terminal suddenly rang, it was an unknown number.
Chen Ming answered it immediately, and a deep voice asked him: "What for?"
"Check the surveillance, just check the surveillance."
"Okay."
The phone was hung up.
The restrictions on Chen Ming's spiritual energy fluctuations also disappeared.
But Chen Ming could feel that the psychic was paying more attention to his situation.
Chen Ming roughly understood why he was invited to the headquarters.
Someone should have been collecting intelligence on his psychic power, and now it is finally confirmed that his psychic power can be discovered and blocked when it is first used. As long as the whole process is kept under attention, Chen Ming's psychic power will certainly not be unprepared.
So when he came, there was such a level 6 psychic waiting for him, and it would definitely not be a psychic like Yan Xiong and Hu Yi who had just entered the level 6.
Such a psychic was absolutely vigilant against Chen Ming.
Of course, this level 6 psychic was not so unreasonable.
He should know what was happening here.
But he obviously had no intention of participating in it.
The people below competed, it had nothing to do with him.
Anyway, before the bottom line was crossed, he just watched.
After the restrictions on psychic power were lifted, Chen Ming finally exhaled deeply.
Comfortable.
He had never felt so comfortable before.
How uncomfortable he felt when he was restricted before, how comfortable he felt now that the restrictions were lifted.
And he knew that this was only a short-term feeling after the Level 6 psychic released the restrictions. Things were over, and restrictions would continue to come.
Unless he had enough power to fight back, he had to abide by the rules set by the stronger ones.
He had to become stronger.
Chen Ming had some more insights in his mind.
However, he did not show it, but said to the police officer in front of him who seemed to have noticed something: "Take me to the damaged equipment, don't tell me that the equipment has turned to ash in just a few hours."
The police officer's expression suddenly became tense.
The order he received was to delay, to delay by any excuse, to tell any lie, as long as it could delay.
Anyway, the higher-ups didn't expect Cheng Xinghe to stay, as long as they could delay.
That's what he did.
And just now, he had deleted and overwritten the data related to the database, and finally destroyed the operation of the equipment.
But in front of Chen Ming's psychic power, nothing about the mechanical equipment could be concluded.
So he was still a little flustered.
But he had no other interface to continue delaying.
He could only take Chen Ming to the inside of the police station slowly.
He said to a damaged data storage device on a table in the office: "This is it."
Chen Ming walked into the office, looked back at the police officer who didn't avoid him, and didn't say much.
Anyway, this person must know a lot, and he must know about psychics.
The key to the problem now is whether Chen Ming can restore the device.
And whether he can restore it, Chen Ming has no doubt at all.
Because his psychic power was previously blessed by the power of the dimension.
The effect of the repair psychic power has also been enhanced.
Chen Ming has specially tested it. At least for now, even if the equipment is turned to ash, as long as the ash is still there, he can restore it to its original state.
Even if the data is deleted or overwritten, he can recover all the lost data.
Chen Ming's psychic power acts on the device in front of him, and the metal liquid appears from the void and wraps it.
In a few seconds, the appearance of the entire device is restored to its original state.
Chen Ming also easily saw the picture in the surveillance.
The impact caused by the power of Cheng Xinghe's punch.
Liao Hongsheng's posture after falling to the ground, and his self-protection reaction.
All can prove that Cheng Xinghe is absolutely impossible to seriously injure people, especially serious brain injuries.
This video alone can prove that Cheng Xinghe is innocent to a large extent.
If you insist, there is an interface, such as Liao Hongsheng has a brain disease, which was knocked out by Cheng Xinghe's punch.
But far-fetched reasons cannot be used as evidence of conviction.
Chen Ming could have taken out the surveillance to prove his innocence.
But.
He didn't do it.
Chen Ming also frowned and put the storage device that seemed to have been restored to its original state on the table, and shook his head slightly.
If things were over so quickly, there would be many things he couldn't do.
He wanted to show weakness, so that people would think that he really didn't get enough evidence, so that those who targeted him could continue the next step.
Chen Ming turned his head and asked the police officer: "If the surveillance video is broken, then what evidence can prove that it is Cheng Xinghai?"
The police officer finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this question: "The case of Cheng Xinghe is still under investigation. As the only person at the crime scene, he is a major suspect, so even if there is not enough evidence, we can ask him to cooperate with the investigation."
"Major suspect? That means that Cheng Xinghe must be kept here for at least 24 hours no matter what, right?"
The police officer didn't say anything, which was considered as tacit agreement.
"Okay, then let me go in and see him. I also have the right to investigate now."
"You can investigate, but if you want to see the suspect... only the team leader has this authority in our entire investigation team."
"There is no one in the bureau now. I don't have the authority to release anyone, nor do I have the authority to let anyone in."
This is the rule.
The rule that Chen Ming must abide by.
Although he obtained the identity to participate in this incident through a rule that was favorable to him.
But the authority of this identity obtained through the rule is not high.
After all, it is impossible for the legion to let the army completely suppress the police station, and the police station cannot be just a vassal of the army.
Otherwise, the foundation of all government systems will no longer exist between the chaotic power.
What Chen Ming has now is the authority of ordinary police officers involved in investigating the incident.
If the team leader has the authority to find the suspect, Chen Ming really has no way to get around this.
This feeling of being restricted is really bad.
Just now, Chen Ming was physically restricted by the psychic fluctuations of the level 6 psychic, and now, he is restricted by the rules again.
Chen Ming had nothing to say about this, so he could only ask, "When will the team leader come back?"
"I don't know, maybe tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? If someone is not in the police station after a serious crime, does that count as being absent from duty?"
"No, because he went out to investigate, to investigate the victim."
Chen Ming frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Uh... maybe somewhere else, but he must have gone to investigate."
What a pity...
Chen Ming turned his head back.
If only this police officer was a little braver.
There are people from their faction at the hospital, and they can be sure that there is no such team leader in the entire hospital.
If the police officer dared to say that the team leader was there, Chen Ming would dare to directly question the team leader's absence from duty with evidence and take over the authority to do things.
But now... it's a pity.
Chen Ming could only ask for a current investigation report and did not continue to stay in the police station.
Cheng Xinghai saw Chen Ming coming out and immediately asked Chen Ming about the situation with concern.
Because she was a relative of Cheng Xinghe, she did not have the investigation authority and could not interrupt at all, and she could not follow Chen Ming into the police station.
In addition, she had never experienced this type of thing, and no matter how smart she was, it would take time to adapt.
Now she could only follow Chen Ming and listen and watch silently.
Trying to analyze the feasible way of doing things from the clues she could see.
Although Chen Ming was watching at this time, his idea was still to consider how to contact Cheng Xinghe.
Anyway, forced means are absolutely impossible, and the level 6 psychic will not let him do this.
So how to contact Cheng Xinghe?
Chen Ming sat on a chair near the rest room inside the police station, shaking his legs impatiently, and tapping the ground with his toes.
His fingers on the armrests were also tapping on the metal armrests.
Cheng Xinghai, who had been focusing on the report in Chen Ming's hand, also gradually noticed Chen Ming's small movements.
She seemed to hear some hidden patterns from it.
Just as she looked up at Chen Ming's face, Chen Ming immediately made a gesture to silence her.
