”I always feel something is odd, the whole incident reeks of strangeness,” another person spoke, ”but letʼs just wait and see. Everything will be clear once we meet Qing Chen.”

By the time they arrived at the suburbs 20 miles away, a group of seven or eight people was waiting outside the convoy, while two others were undergoing sterilization and disinfection measures under the guidance of the Mechanical Prison Guard.

Not only that, but the two detectives holding the interrogation warrant also had to put on protective suits that covered their entire bodies, with only their faces behind a semi-transparent protective film, and the rest of them tightly wrapped.

The two detectives exchanged a glance, both sensing something amiss.

They entered the interrogation room under the guidance of the Mechanical Prison Guard. A short while later, Qing Chen, in a similar protective suit and escorted by the Mechanical Prison Guard, sat down opposite them.

ʼQing Chenʼ spoke calmly, ”I know nothing about case 1092112, nor do I have any information to assist with. If someone from the Qingʼs Family is trying to push me out of the Shadow competition through this mess, theyʼre probably overthinking it.”

One of the detectives said, ”Donʼt be nervous, this is really just a way to get into prison, no one is actually trying to frame or entrap you. Allow me to introduce myself; Iʼm a Level 2 Inspector from the Public Security Management Committee, Qing Xun. Strictly speaking, I should be your cousin, though weʼve never met before.”

The ʼQing Chenʼ across relaxed slightly, ”Do you need something from me?”

”Weʼd like to know, have you been out of prison recently?” Qing Xun asked.

”No, if I could leave, I would have done so long ago,” ʼQing Chenʼ replied, ”What about Qing Yan? I havenʼt seen him for a long time. Why isnʼt he the one coming?”

The two detectives glanced at each other, and Qing Xun said, ”Qing Yan is dead.”

After speaking, the two stared intensely at ʼQing Chen,ʼ but the protective suits hid their faces, leaving the young manʼs expressions indistinct.

ʼQing Chenʼ didnʼt seem surprised, just asked indifferently, ”How did he die?”

”He committed suicide in public due to depression caused by an overdose of Dopamine Chips,” Qing Xun said, ”Itʼs a clear-cut case, unrelated to others.”

ʼQing Chenʼ said calmly, ”He died a good death.”

Qing Xun frowned, ”You donʼt seem shocked at all, not even the slightest emotional fluctuation.”

”Should I show some happiness then,” ʼQing Chenʼ laughed, ”Indeed, I should be happy. Considering how bad our relationship was, his death should please me.”

At that moment, Qing Xun and the other detective suddenly stepped forward, jointly tore off ʼQing Chenʼsʼ protective suit, revealing Qing Chenʼs true face beneath the clothing.

They suspected that the protective suit was used to hide the true identity, and that the person under the suit might not be Qing Chen at all!

The alarm in the interrogation room blared, while Qing Xun firmly held down ʼQing Chenʼ, pulling out his tablet to verify the face while quickly and forcefully rubbing the face, as if to check for a human skin mask.

Nowadays, there are many organizations within the Federation that manufacture lifelike masks, many of which are indistinguishable from the real thing.

After a dozen seconds, Qing Xun breathed a sigh of relief, ”Voice matches, face matches, identity confirmed.”

Beneath this protective suit was indeed the ʼQing Chenʼ whose data had been tampered with in the system.

At that moment, the Mechanical Prison Guard burst in from outside, a neutral voice said, ”The two of you are suspected of violating Article 27 of the prison management regulations, you will be temporarily detained and transferred to the Public Security Management Committee for review.”

Qing Xun and the other detective exchanged a knowing smile, well aware that they would be handed over by the institution, so they were not worried.

In their view, the prison management system was just and fair, but still so rigid.

Once they were handed over to the Public Security Management Committee, they would be released immediately, and then they could go back for a good nightʼs sleep.

After the two were taken away by the Mechanical Prison Guard, the face of ʼQing Chenʼ reverted back to Uncle Li Dongʼs own features. He rubbed his cheeks, ”I really was on the verge of killing those two.”

From the back, Lin Xiaoxiao pushed the door and entered, ”Boss, do we really need to go this far, to even use the protective suit to rouse their suspicion?”

Uncle Li Dong smiled and said, ”What do you know? Everyone in this world only believes the truth theyʼve worked hard to uncover. If itʼs not hard enough, theyʼll keep doubting.”

It was not until this moment that Qing Chenʼs new identity truly settled into place.

In order for Qing Chen to firmly become the real Shadow, today Uncle Li Dong chose to become the shadow of Qing Chen.
