From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 349 - 259: Attack Incident

Lu Heng had intended to send someone to pick up Yuan Hecheng, and then they would go together to the Iron Blood Coastal headquarters.

Yuan Hecheng immediately said he was at the Iron Blood Coastal headquarters building, being welcomed by someone, but Yuan Yaoyao had been taken to another room for questioning.

When Lu Heng arrived, Yuan Hecheng was arguing with an Iron Blood Investigator.

He insisted that his daughter was a minor and even if she was being questioned, it needed to be in his presence.

However, the cases handled by Iron Blood were rather special, and Yuan Yaoyao possessed astonishing Extraordinary Power, making her a very dangerous Superpower User.

For Iron Blood, such minors with great Extraordinary Power were the most difficult to deal with.

Because of the age issue, it was very tricky to handle.

Too strong-handed, no good.

Without strong-handed measures, no effect.

Moreover, minors with immature minds could become very serious once they lost control.

When Yuan Hecheng saw Lu Heng come in, he immediately ran over and grabbed Lu Heng’s arm, saying, "Boss, you must speak for me. Yaoyao is a good kid; this definitely wasn’t intentional."

In Yuan Hecheng’s eyes, Yuan Yaoyao was still his obedient and sensible daughter.

He had no idea what his daughter had experienced in the Abyss Battlefield.

Lu Heng soothed him with a few words, then looked at the Iron Blood Investigator and asked, "Where’s Inspector Chen?"

"Inspector Chen is in the interrogation room, asking questions. Don’t worry; it’s just a normal questioning," the investigator continued to soothe the family member’s emotions.

He said this, but the nature of the case was not that simple.

Because there had been a death.

Yuan Yaoyao had killed a Superpower User, and the surveillance video captured it very clearly.

The surveillance footage all along the way had been retrieved, showing the process of Yuan Yaoyao’s actions.

So the fact was confirmed, now what they needed to investigate were the motives and reasons.

After calming Yuan Hecheng’s emotions, Lu Heng told the investigator, "Tell your Inspector Chen that I’m waiting for him in his office."

After saying this, Lu Heng walked to his office, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Upon hearing his subordinate’s report that Lu Heng had come over, Chen Linian came out from the interrogation room and went into the office, closing the door and saying,

"Lu Heng, this is a tricky one, and I know the father and daughter are yours, but I must state upfront, I can only follow procedure. If you’re planning to intercede for them, don’t bother speaking."

If there was a need to intercede, that would definitely have to occur.

However, first, it was necessary to understand the process and reason behind the incident, and then they could determine the nature of the event.

"Don’t be so quick to put up a shield, let’s first clear up the facts."

"The matter is rather serious, and the surveillance video captured it, the fact is clear, there’s not even a possibility of accidental manslaughter. Take a look at the video first, even if you want to say it wasn’t intentional, it won’t hold up," Chen Linian said, turning the computer monitor around so that Lu Heng could watch the surveillance video playing on it.

The surveillance video was shot from more than ten meters away, showing Yuan Hecheng and his daughter walking down the street, approached by a Superpower User.

This Superpower User had something in his right hand, concealed behind his back.

It wasn’t clear what the Superpower User was holding in his hand from the camera view, but Iron Blood had already visited the scene and confirmed it was a handgun.

As they approached each other, when the distance was still about seven or eight meters, Yuan Yaoyao suddenly raised her right hand, drew a Mechanical Lightsaber, and a Plasma Sword Light Cut through.

The Superpower User was killed instantly, the whole process was clean and efficient.

The Superpower User didn’t even have time to react before dying.

Since the killing was so swift, even in the video, it was hard to see what the Superpower User intended to do with the gun, and it looked as though Yuan Yaoyao had simply encountered someone on the street and cut them down.

No wonder Iron Blood had brought her in; if similar situations occurred on the street in the future, where someone was cut down upon encounter, the matter would indeed be serious.

However, having undertaken missions together in the Sikes Civilization, Lu Heng knew very well that she would not hurt people without reason.

Still, this was a subjective feeling and could not serve as evidence.

Lu Heng thought for a moment before asking about the worst-case scenario, "What would happen if she were convicted of intentional homicide?"

Chen Linian sighed and answered, "She’d have to be locked up, with regular injections of Source Energy Inhibitor, to prevent her from using Source Energy to harm others."

This indeed was the worst-case scenario.

If really locked up in the Superpower Prison, Yuan Yaoyao’s life would practically be over.

Of course, if she wanted to escape, she definitely could.

With the Combat Power of the Black Feather Spirit, there were few in Coastal who could stop her.

Once the Source Energy Inhibitor wore off, she would be able to escape the prison.

And there were many ways to wait for the Source Energy Inhibitor to wear off, she could even directly transport herself to the Sikes Civilization and ask for assistance from the Xavier Matrix.

Therefore, imprisoning this young girl was impossible.

But, once she chose to flee, it meant she wouldn’t be able to stay in Da Xia, and her father would also have to flee with her.

They would have to live lives on the run.

For a ten-year-old girl, this wasn’t exactly fun.

Lu Heng watched the surveillance video twice, still failing to find evidence to help Yuan Yaoyao, then after pondering a while, he said, "Let me see Yuan Yaoyao first."

Chen Linian hesitated slightly, "This doesn’t follow the rules."

Lu Heng, with a stern face, said, "If you want to resolve this smoothly, do as I say. I promise not to do anything against the rules, I just want to clarify the reason she took action."

Chen Linian pondered for a moment, then said, "The girl is pretty volatile right now; I’m worried she might tear down our building. Can you calm her down?"
