Zheng Meng frowned and asked, "What's going on in Dongchuan Province?"
How can someone with such an unclear identity and unknown background pass the identity verification process and join the provincial-level youth genius team?
After saying that, he added, "Besides these, are there any other suspicious points about Chen Lie?"
The staff member replied, "On the first day of the rally, Chen Lie left the hotel once and was outside for about five hours before returning to the hotel in the early hours of the morning."
Furthermore, according to video surveillance, this morning when Master Li Ruhai was giving a lecture, Chen Lie went up to the third floor alone and had a close encounter with the five victims from Blue Star University.
In conclusion, Chairman Dong believes that the news about Chen Lie is the most significant.
Zheng Meng nodded and asked, "Are there any other suspicious people?"
"Yes," the staff member replied. "Among the eight provinces, a total of 13 people have been promoted to the provincial-level youth genius group in the past month. Among them, five started from the genius training camp. Their promotion speed is too fast and somewhat unreasonable. Two of the five are from Dongchuan Province."
"Dongchuan truly lives up to its reputation as the poorest of the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi; it's utterly hopeless."
Governor Zheng Meng ordered, "After questioning these 13 people, take them to the thirteenth floor alone. I will interrogate them personally."
"clear!"
On the other side, Chen Lie was in the crowd, waiting in line for screening. As the number of people in front of him decreased, the staff of the provincial government finally found Chen Lie.
The provincial governor's staff member said in a gentle tone, "Hello, please cooperate with our work and provide your place of origin and name."
"Dongchuan Province, Chen Lie!"
"Hello Chen Lie, may I ask where you were and who you were with when the incident occurred, around 3 or 4 p.m.?" the staff member asked.
"At that time, I was on the seventh floor of the hotel with two members of the Dongchuan Province genius team."
"Okay, could you tell me their names?" the staff member asked.
"Tang Jiu'er, Luo Zhixun."
The staff member nodded: "Okay, please wait over there."
Chen Lie nodded, passed through the checkpoint and crossed the red line, arriving at the temporary rest area set up by the staff next to him.
In the temporary rest area, Chen Lie found a seat and sat down.
Soon after, several members of the Dongchuan Province Genius Group passed the screening.
Luo Zhixun, who had just passed the screening, was sitting alone to one side, so I went over and sat down.
"Chen Lie, guess who those five Blue Star University students who were assassinated by the Dark Moon Organization's killers were?"
The fact that Dark Moon would attempt an assassination in this situation indicates that these five students from Blue Star University are no ordinary individuals.
Chen Lie said, "That Wu Tianchen is ranked 21st on the Blue Star Trainee Divine Sense Master Ranking."
He was probably the target of the assassination attempt; the other four were likely implicated by Wu Tianchen.
"What? The 21st trainee Divine Sense Master on Earth?"
"If such a top-tier genius of divine sense were assassinated in this kind of situation, wouldn't the entire Guannei Province be thrown into chaos?" Luo Zhixun exclaimed in shock.
"Oh? Is it that serious?"
"Of course it's serious," Luo Zhixun said. "If this kind of thing happened in our Dongchuan Province, my father would definitely be held accountable, and even the president of the Martial Arts Association and the chairman of the provincial council would not escape punishment."
At best, they will receive a severe warning and be publicly criticized globally; at worst, they will be demoted or even dismissed from their posts.

"It is indeed quite serious," Chen Lie nodded.
"Governor Zheng of the province, who was in office during the course of his term, was able to speak so calmly just now. He truly has a deep understanding of things," Luo Zhixun said.
As the two were talking, Tang Jiu'er, who had been through the investigation, walked over.
"Zhi, why are you always hanging out with Chen Lie?"
Tang Jiu'er put her hands on her hips and sat down next to Luo Zhixun.
Luo Zhixun rolled her eyes at Tang Jiu'er but didn't reply.
"By the way, the provincial government staff just asked me if I was with anyone when the incident happened. Did they ask you?" Tang Jiu'er asked again.
Luo Zhixun nodded and said, "I asked."
"So what was your answer?"
"Of course I answered truthfully, didn't you?"
Tang Jiu chuckled and said, "I only said the two of us together, I didn't mention Chen Lie."
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhixun frowned and said, "If you answer like that, won't our three answers not match? What if the people at the gathering suspect that one of the three of us is a Dark Moon assassin?"
Tang Jiu'er said, "How could that be? I just didn't mention Chen Lie, nor did I say he wasn't there."
Besides, with our combined strength, it's impossible for us to assassinate five students from Blue Star University silently.
Although Tang Jiu'er explained it this way, Luo Zhixun still felt that Tang Jiu'er's actions were somewhat inappropriate.
Just then, a provincial government staff member came to Chen Lie's side.
"Excuse me, are you Chen Lie?"
Chen Lie glanced at the staff member and said, "Yes, that's me. Is there something you need?"
"Please come with us; our provincial governor wishes to see you."
"OK."
Chen Lie stood up immediately, ready to leave with the staff.
Upon seeing this, Luo Zhixun immediately stood up and said, "Hello, I'd like to explain. My friend's answer during the investigation was incorrect. At the time of the incident, Chen Lie and I were all together."
The staff member said, "We are only responsible for summoning the provincial governor. Your words are useless to us."
Luo Zhixun was taken aback and wanted to say something, but Chen Lie waved his hand and said, "It's nothing serious. I'll explain it to their provincial governor later."
Upon seeing this, Luo Zhixun nodded and sat down.
After Chen Lie and the staff from the provincial government left, Luo Zhixun couldn't help but give Tang Jiu'er a reproachful look.
"It must be because you weren't telling the truth, which made the people in the provincial government suspicious."
"It shouldn't be like that, right?" Tang Jiu'er said, "If it were because the testimonies didn't match, they would definitely call all three of us away, how could they only call Chen Lie?"
I suspect it's because Chen Lie left the hotel yesterday.
Luo Zhixun thought it made sense and nodded.
Meanwhile, Chen Lie followed the provincial government staff to the thirteenth floor of the hotel. Outside a room, a staff member gently knocked on the door and said, "Governor, I have brought Chen Lie here."
After a voice inside the room said "Come in," the staff opened the door and led Chen Lie into the room.
"Provincial Governor, this is Chen Lie."
Governor Zheng Meng of the Guannei Province sat at his desk in the middle of the room, looking at a document, and said without even looking up:
"Okay, you can go now."
"yes!"
After the staff member responded, they immediately left the room and closed the door behind them.
The room fell silent instantly.
After a long while, Zheng Meng finally finished reading the documents in his hand and looked up.
He glanced at Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, right?"
I just looked at your information. You attended the regular class for three years at Dongchuan No. 1 Provincial Key High School. At the end of the first semester of your senior year, you suddenly became a sensation and joined the elite class. Then, in just one month, you won first place in the school's martial arts competition.
Your improvement in strength is highly illogical; at least I've never seen it before. In just one or two months, your Qi and Blood value went from single digits to hundreds of calories.
I want to know, why is that?
Chen Lie said, "Of course I concealed my strength."
Zheng Meng was somewhat surprised that Chen Lie faced him without fear, and continued to ask, "Why are you hiding your strength?"
"I'm sorry, this is my secret and I can't reveal it."
"There's another question. I noticed you had an entry and exit record during the rally. I'd like to know who you met outside."
Also, let me explain why this morning, while everyone else was listening to a lecture by a renowned professor in the lobby on the first floor, you were the only one who went up to the third floor alone and had close contact with Wu Tianchen and four other students from Blue Star University.
Chen Lie replied, "I am not alone when I enter and leave the hotel; someone is with me the whole time."
If you'd like, you could ask President Lu of the Guannei Province Divine Sense Masters Association. I visited the association on my last trip, and President Lu saw me there.
As for why I went to the third floor while others were listening to lectures on the first floor, that's purely coincidental, and I can't explain it.
"Wait a moment."
After Zheng Meng finished speaking, he made a communication call to Lu Kun, the president of the Divine Mind Master Association.
Not long after, Lu Kun pushed open the door and entered the room.
Upon seeing Chen Lie, Lu Kun looked somewhat surprised. After hearing Zheng Meng's inquiry, Lu Kun nodded and replied, "That's right. Last night, this young man named Chen Lie did indeed appear at the Divine Sense Master Association and solved a problem for us."
However, I'm not sure if he only went to the Divine Sense Masters Association.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Meng nodded and asked, "How are the interrogations of the other suspicious individuals going?"
"There's been no result; everyone has an alibi," Lu Kun said.
"Then continue the investigation. If necessary, we can use some methods."
Zheng Meng's expression hardened, and he looked at Chen Lie: "Chen Lie, what you just confessed is not enough to prove your innocence."
"Because you are the most suspicious person among everyone present, on behalf of the provincial government, in accordance with the Blue Star Genius Security Protection Regulations, I will detain you for half a month. Do you have any objections?"
"Of course I have objections."
Chen Lie's expression changed, and he said, "You've inexplicably wasted half a month of my time, and you're asking me if I have any objections?"
"Do you know who was assassinated today? He was one of the most promising geniuses on Earth."
Even if you are not the murderer, even if you are only suspected of assassination, you still have an obligation to cooperate with the official interrogation.
Chen Lie said, "Why don't you check my information on the official website of the Blue Star Potential Genius Protection Bureau using my citizen ID number, and see if your provincial government has the authority to waste half a month of my time?"
"Um?"
Zheng Meng was puzzled and asked, "Looking at your information, you haven't reached the ultimate realm of martial arts yet, have you?"
Without reaching the pinnacle of Qi and Blood, how did you manage to join the ranks of potential geniuses protected by Blue Star?
"Just look it up," Chen Lie said.
"Whether or not you're investigated is another matter. Even if you're listed among the potential geniuses of Blue Star, you have no right to be detained this time. Do you even know what level of divine sense genius Wu Tianchen, who was murdered this time, was?"
"Isn't he just ranked 21st on the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Consciousness Sea Ranking?"
"You know?" Zheng Meng asked in surprise.
Lu Kun, equally puzzled, asked, "I didn't reveal Wu Tianchen's identity at the Divine Sense Master Association last night. How did you know?"
He didn't say anything, but Chen Lie knew Wu Tianchen's identity, which instantly made Chen Lie a prime suspect.
"Don't worry about how I know. I told you, you can check my information on the official website of the Blue Star Potential Genius Protection Bureau to see if they have the right to detain me."
Chen Lie knew that the Blue Star government provided excellent protection for geniuses. Top geniuses, unless they committed treason, were generally easy to deal with, and if the crime was not particularly serious, they could be directly exempted from punishment.
A provincial governor does not have the authority to detain a top genius of Earth.
As for how Chen Lie learned of Wu Tianchen's identity, it was naturally revealed by Cui Jinyang, one of the Grandmaster seeds of the Dongchuan Province's genius group.
Seeing Chen Lie's confident demeanor, Zheng Meng convened a meeting of the staff outside.
After the staff member entered, he quickly asked, "Provincial Governor, you wanted to see me?"
Zheng Meng said, "Use the personal computer next to your desk to log in to the official website of the Blue Star Potential Genius Protection Bureau and check out Chen Lie's information."
"yes!"
The staff member quickly sat down in front of the personal computer, glanced at Chen Lie's Blue Star citizen number in his file, opened the official website of the Blue Star Potential Genius Protection Bureau, and entered the citizen number to check.
A notification popped up on the computer screen.
[Insufficient permissions to view.]
Upon seeing this, the staff member immediately said, "Provincial Governor, we lack the authority to view this."
"Using the provincial government's personal computer, I don't have enough permissions?"
Zheng Meng frowned and said, "Use my privileges. Log in with my citizen ID and check again."
As he spoke, Zheng Meng took out his citizen card and gave it to the staff member.
After receiving the citizen's certificate, the staff immediately logged into the Bureau of Protection's website and entered Chen Lie's citizen number again to check.
The same page popped up again.
[Insufficient permissions to view.]
"Provincial Governor, or it shows insufficient authority."
Could it be—that the officials in the Protection Bureau have gone mad?
"No permission? How is that possible?"
Lu Kun, who was standing nearby, also went over and looked at the computer screen with a strange expression.
Immediately afterwards, Provincial Governor Zheng Meng and Lu Kun, the president of the Divine Mind Masters Association, both looked at Chen Lie.
Chen Lie said, "I have a key here that you can use to check."
As he spoke, Chen Lie recited a string of keys.
Before the delegation from the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association left, they gave Chen Lie a card with three sets of keys on it. These keys could be used to view Chen Lie's true Divine Sense Master information. Each set of keys was for one-time use and would become invalid after use.
When all three sets of keys are used up, someone from the Blue Star Divine Mind Master Association headquarters will contact Chen Lie to inquire about the reason and will provide three more sets of keys.
Upon hearing Chen Lie recite the key, Zheng Meng immediately instructed the staff to enter the key to view Chen Lie's information.
After the staff entered the key as required, a different page finally popped up on the Bureau of Protection's website.
[Please enter the name, information, and contact information of the person who requested this information.]
Zheng Meng frowned upon seeing this and said, "Just enter my name."
Checking a piece of information was so troublesome, which made him a little impatient.
"yes!"
After the staff entered the information of Provincial Governor Zheng Meng, Chen Lie's information page finally appeared.
Lu Kun and Zheng Meng looked at the money together and their pupils shrank immediately.
The page displays the following name: Chen Lie; Gender: Male; Age: 18
Place of origin: Guandong City, Dongchuan Province.
Genius Protection Level: SSS
Basic information: Ranked 9th on the Blue Star Trainee Divine Mind Sweat Consciousness Sea Ranking.
World of Consciousness: Starry Consciousness Sea Rating: 2765000
Potential assessment: With a vast sea of consciousness, he has the potential to become a Divine Sense Emperor.
(Note: To protect the personal safety of top geniuses on Earth, those who access this information are prohibited from disseminating it. They must wait for representatives from the Earth Divine Sense Association headquarters to come and cooperate with the authorities in enforcing the gag order.)
"This is—the Ranking of Apprentice Divine Sense Warriors, ninth on Earth?"
Lu Kun and Zheng Meng, both high-ranking officials, were dumbfounded.
How could such a hidden dragon, the most outstanding genius of divine sense on Blue Star, appear in the gathering of geniuses from eight provinces in the Ugly Duckling?
