Qin Siyang cheerfully left the hospital, humming a tune as he boarded the bus to school.
Not long after Qin Siyang left, the police department received a homicide report and rushed to the hospital.
Olov led his team to the corridor where Qin Siyang had committed murder, only to find that the Sequence Ability Users' Management Bureau was already handling the scene.
Hearing the commotion, a Bureau officer looked up, "Colleagues from the police department? You guys don't need to interfere here. This is a murder committed by a Sequence Ability User; our Bureau will handle it."
Olov nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you. May I ask who the murderer and the victim are?"
"Oh, no problem. The killer is Qin Siyang, who just awakened his Sequence Ability. The victims are a few bullies, as well as Zhou Xing's biological brother, Zhou Zhe."
Olov's eyes lit up.
'Qin Siyang again?'
'Why is he everywhere?'
"Zhou Zhe? Why was he killed by Qin Siyang?"
The Bureau officer looked helpless, "Because Zhou Zhe injured Qin Siyang's teacher. Qin Siyang got furious and killed them all."
Olov thought for a moment and then asked, "Does Zhou Zhe have a son named Zhou Yang, who studies at Ju'an School and is Qin Siyang's classmate?"
"We don't know about that. But it seems like he does have a son who is currently in school. Zhou Zhe was at the hospital to accompany his wife for treatment, and sometimes his son would visit. You can ask the attending doctor. His wife's name is Wu Jie."
"Got it, thanks!"
"No problem, coming all the way here wasn't easy for you guys either."
After inquiring about Wu Jie's hospital room, Olov headed there.
He leaned against the window on the hospital room door, quietly observing the scene inside.
It was a private ward.
Inside, a woman lay on the hospital bed, and a young boy sat beside her, packing up belongings.
Olov had seen that boy before, it was Zhou Yang.
Both of their faces were deathly pale, seemingly having just received the news of Zhou Zhe's death.
Zhou Yang was putting various items from the hospital room into a large backpack, as if preparing to leave.
Olov lowered his gaze and quickly understood the situation.
Zhou Zhe was dead, but Zhou Xing hadn't taken revenge on Qin Siyang, clearly, he had reached some sort of agreement with him.
With that agreement in place, Zhou Xing wouldn't care about Zhou Zhe's family anymore. That meant Zhou Yang's mother had lost her support and financial backing.
So, the hospital was kicking them out.
Watching the miserable mother and son, Olov felt no sympathy at all.
He had seen too many cases like this and was already numb to them.
Besides, the fact that she even had the privilege of being admitted to the hospital already made her better off than 99% of people in Safe Zone 14121.
Right now, Olov had only one focus.
Qin Siyang's secret.
He could no longer gain Qin Siyang's trust, every conversation between them was met with rejection.
So, there was only one way left to make Qin Siyang open up to him.
Get leverage on him. The more leverage he had, the stronger their relationship would become.
And that would allow him to extract more information from Qin Siyang.
Olov was certain, Qin Siyang was carrying a secret that could change the world.
"Roylena, I need a favor," Olov said, stepping away from the ward's door and addressing the blonde female officer behind him.
"Detective Olov, what is it?"
"Keep a close eye on Zhou Yang and his mother. If someone tries to kill them, make sure to record the scene, preserve the evidence, and then hand it over to me."
"When someone tries to kill them, I should just quietly record it and not intervene?"
"Until you have solid evidence, you are not to take any action. Their lives aren't that important. If their deaths can be exchanged for undeniable proof of a murderer, then you'll have perfectly completed your mission."
Olov lit a cigar, adjusted the angle of the scarf around his neck, and added, "If you successfully complete this mission, I'll consider transferring you to Sigma District when I go there."
"Yes! I will do my best!"
"And one more thing, stop trying to play tricks with me. If you make any wrong moves, I can't guarantee that your fraudulent Deceiver Sequence status will remain a secret. Do you understand?"
"…Yes, I understand."
Give a stick, then offer a sweet date, Olov believed Roylena would know what to choose.
He had deduced that Qin Siyang was a ruthless person who left no loose ends, eliminating all hidden threats.
Which meant that Qin Siyang would definitely try to kill Zhou Yang and his mother.
Zhou Yang was just a student. Even if he was a Sequence Ability User, killing him would still bring consequences.
And that would be Olov's first piece of leverage against Qin Siyang.
However…
Deep in thought, Olov failed to notice the complex look in Roylena's eyes.
She had already figured out from Olov's conversation with the Bureau officers that he was setting up a trap for Qin Siyang.
To make Roylena obedient, Olov had used her secret as leverage against her.
It looked like Olov's plan was foolproof.
Unfortunately, Olov wasn't the only one who knew about Roylena's forged Sequence identity.
Qin Siyang knew as well.
Roylena had a headache.
Both Olov and Qin Siyang were like hungry wolves, effortlessly prying out every secret from her.
What was worse, she had no way to fight back.
The two of them were fighting a deadly battle, but she, just an ordinary officer, was the one caught in the middle.
This was exactly what they meant by "When gods fight, little devils suffer."
For Roylena, there was no choice.
She couldn't afford to offend Olov, and she absolutely couldn't provoke Qin Siyang.
The only way she could walk away from this safely was if no one ever tried to kill Zhou Yang and his mother.
If nothing happened, she wouldn't have to make a difficult decision.
The police station was near the hospital.
After bidding Olov farewell, Roylena made a quick stop at the station.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
She rapped on the door of the reception office.
The guard opened the door, "Officer Roylena, what's the matter?"
Roylena flashed an apologetic smile, holding up her phone, which had a black screen, "Sorry, my phone's out of battery. Can I borrow the landline to make a call?"
"No problem."
"Thanks."
Roylena dialed a number she had just looked up on her phone, "Hey, Arlene, it's me. Sorry about standing you up tonight. Yeah, there was a case at the hospital, I have to work overtime. Let's reschedule! Mm-hmm, see you!"
She hung up and smiled at the guard, "All done, thanks!"
"No worries, you guys work hard."
"Haha, all for the stability of this area."
Roylena left with a smile, while the guard smacked his lips, "Man, if I could marry a beautiful, kind, and enthusiastic police officer like Roylena, that'd be amazing."
RING! RING! RING!
Just then, the reception desk phone rang again.
"This is the reception office of Safe Zone 14121 Police Department. How can I help you?"
Beep— Beep— Beep—
No one spoke.
The call was disconnected.
