“Holy crap, why are the cops here? Those look like real cops, they’ve even got guns.”
Inside the building across from the Napoleon Hotel.
That young Asian man was staring at the footage on his camera, utterly dumbfounded.
He had no idea why the police would suddenly show up.
Could it be that the sound of the fight over there was too loud and drew them here?
“Hey, wait a minute.”
“Now that the cops are here and caught Zhu Hong red-handed killing someone, isn’t he going to be eating prison food?!”
The people watching the Special Live Stream shared the same thought as this young Asian man.
Special Live Stream, Live Stream Room.
The viewers watching the broadcast first felt contempt for Melo.
Seriously, bro, are you here to be a joke?
Even if you end up getting killed in the end, at least make the process look decent, right?
At least put up a fight where Zhu Hong barely takes you down and gets seriously injured himself.
But you?
You were losing from the very start.
You sure know how to act tough, though.
Walking around with those metal knuckle dusters on your hands.
But is that really the case?
Was Melo really that weak?
On the contrary.
Some people in the Special Live Stream room had watched Melo’s broadcasts before.
Melo was German. He was originally captured and sent to the German Alice Apartment.
In the German Alice Apartment, his performance was extremely brutal.
Then he was transferred from the German Alice Apartment to Aisen Town.
His performance remained good.
And he was still brutal and cruel.
He was downright vicious toward the lab rats. He usually tortured them so badly that even some viewers in the live stream room couldn’t bear to watch.
They thought Melo was nothing more than an inhumane beast.
On top of that, Melo was highly skilled.
His combat level was far from low.
Put in the game, he wasn’t a big boss, but he was at least a mid-sized or small boss.
He had his own pride, which was why he went solo, wanting to take down the strongest lab rat in this Special Live Stream—Zhu Hong.
But he probably never expected that this Zhu Hong was on a completely higher level than him.
He was taken down effortlessly, highlighting just how terrifyingly strong Zhu Hong was, while simultaneously making Melo look like a total waste, a failed poser.
Zhu Hong and Melo were like Oda Nobunaga and Imagawa Yoshimoto.
That one Battle of Okehazama directly turned Imagawa Yoshimoto, the “Greatest Archer of the Tokaido,” into the biggest joke of Japan’s Warring States period.
As for Zhu Hong, he had sparked a lot of discussion in the live stream room.
The American viewers naturally knew Zhu Hong, since he was from the American Alice Apartment.
They had watched his broadcasts.
But viewers from other countries hadn’t, unless they had seen him in a previous Special Live Stream.
Zhu Hong had taken down Melo cleanly, and even won a direct clash of fists, with his bare fist against Melo’s knuckle-duster-clad one. That was insane.
Of course, what was even more insane.
Was that he had apparently just been caught red-handed by real police from Aisen Town, Germany.
Mi—American Captain: [This is a problem now. I bet over ten million USD on Zhu Hong. If he gets arrested by the cops and stays locked up until the Special Live Stream ends, what do we do?!]
Maple-White Supremacy: [What do we do? You’d better suck it up!!!!]
The Special Live Stream was just like a regular live stream. The winner was the last lab rat to survive, or the last one to die.
Zhu Hong was now right in the gray area between elimination and not being eliminated.
If he could get out before the Special Live Stream ended, that would be fine.
But if he stayed locked up, he’d be eliminated outright.
Hua Country Chat Section.
Many people in Hua Country were also amazed by Zhu Hong’s performance.
Little Dragon Girl: [He’s so strong, really strong. I wonder who’s stronger, him or Jiang Ran?]
I am the Hero: [I’m backing Jiang Ran. Don’t forget, bullets are useless against Jiang Ran. Jiang Ran is an even more ridiculously overpowered existence than this Zhu Hong. He just hasn’t shown it yet.]
Fairy Sister: [Don’t jinx it. What if this Zhu Hong can also block bullets?]
Middle-aged Uncle: [Don’t doubt or question Jiang Ran. That’s the dumbest thing you can do. You’ll only end up looking stupid.]
The people in the live stream room continued to watch the situation on Zhu Hong’s end.
Zhu Hong obediently surrendered, happily putting on a pair of silver bracelets.
Then he was escorted by two police officers into a police car and driven to the police station.
The other two police officers stayed behind, waiting for their colleagues’ backup to investigate the scene and handle the body and autopsy.
Aisen Town Police Station.
Since it was a small town police station, it looked very ordinary from the outside and wasn’t very large. It was a typical square block-style building found in Germany.
Zhu Hong was brought here.
After being brought in, he was taken to an interrogation room.
A full twenty minutes passed.
Then two police officers finally entered the interrogation room and began questioning Zhu Hong.
One of them was Chief Pete.
Ever since Chief Pete had taken up his post in Aisen Town, he had been receiving reports of deaths almost every other day.
And they were almost all unsolved cases.
They couldn’t find any suspects.
The only time they caught a suspect was that guy who had even stumped Michelle, Bai Xiaoliang’s teacher.
And now, here was another one, and this one was completely unexpected.
Regardless of whether this one was just a murderer in an ordinary homicide case or was somehow connected to the various unsolved cases in Aisen Town, Chief Pete was going to interrogate him personally.
“Can you speak English?”
The interrogation began, and Chief Pete asked this question first.
“Of course.”
Zhu Hong smiled at Chief Pete.
Chief Pete wasn’t impressed by Zhu Hong’s smile. Given Zhu Hong’s tall, burly frame and the bloody aura he couldn’t quite hide, it was hard for him to feel anything else about him.
“We did a quick check on you. Your name is Zhu Hong, you’re from Hua Country, but you flew here to Germany from America?”
Zhu Hong answered honestly: “Yes, I work and live in America.”
Chief Pete: “What are you doing in Germany? Business trip?”
Zhu Hong: “Just traveling!”
Chief Pete didn’t go into the details about the purpose of Zhu Hong’s trip.
He asked: “The person in the hotel room you were staying in, was he killed by you?”
Zhu Hong nodded.
Chief Pete: “Why did you kill him?”
Zhu Hong said: “He was trying to kill me.”
Chief Pete: “Why did he try to kill you?”
Zhu Hong spread his hands: “I have no idea.”
Zhu Hong couldn’t reveal anything about Alice Apartment to the police.
He remembered that back in the American Alice Apartment, there was a fellow so-called lab rat who had leaked some information about Alice Apartment to the police.
As a result, that lab rat had mysteriously disappeared, with no one knowing if he was alive or dead.
Chief Pete: “Then can you describe in detail what happened between you and him in the room?”
Zhu Hong: “He was the hotel cleaner, right? I saw him a couple of days ago. He also came to my room to clean. Today, when he came to clean, he suddenly attacked me with a mop. I dodged it.
Then, he took out a pair of knuckle dusters from that metal cart of his and tried to hit me. So it was self-defense. As for why he attacked me, I really don’t know.”
