Zosia: Quick Transmigration System
Chapter 75 - 73- Vindicated
The real person was still on the run and they needed to find the person before it would be too late.
Nelson arrived at the office. He was about to open the door when he heard some indistinct chatter.
"Julie, once this case is done and you get the credit. You would be promoted." A voice said.
"Yeah. Congrats to you in advance. Remember to treat me."
"Of course. I will." A familiar voice replied.
"Aish, most important of all, you would be able to create your own team. Remember to choose me as a team member." Another voice echoed.
Nelson''s hold on the door handle tightened.
"What are you doing, standing here like this?" A voice came from behind, startling him.
"Oh! It''s nothing. I was just about to look for you."
"Oh, what happened? I still need to look at something." Holliste said. Twisting the door handle and walking in.
Nelson entered the office with her. He noticed some new faces but the ever familiar Julieann was there.
"Tch... So hateful." He muttered under his breath.
"I thought you all were on holiday after being transferred here, what brings you here today? To get a pie on the big catch." Holliste said, her voice filled with sarcasm as she stared at the other two females in the room.
The air got tense. But a groan tore through the tense filled atmosphere like a knife slicing butter. So smooth.
Groan!
Crimson Wolf groaned and rubbed his bleary eyes. He had been looking at the screen and had mistakenly fallen asleep.
His groan drew the eyes of everyone in the room on him. Realizing that he had been caught sleeping in duty, he immediately stood up and saluted awkwardly.
"Just sit. Did you find anything?" Holliste waved her hand and sat on her chair.
"Yes. After comparing body size, fingerprints and some data''s, I can say for sure that everything is mismatched." Crimson Wolf answered.
"Yeah. I got another testimony from her."
"Huh? You interrogated my suspect without my permission?!" Julieann shouted, her voice filled with anger.
"I told you not to cross the line boy." Julieann threatened. The tense atmosphere returning back to it''s previous state but this time, hotter.
"First of all, the suspect doesn''t belong to you and second, you should mind how you speak.
Your mother won''t help you once you offend someone higher than her." Holliste calmly said, her sharp eyes staring at Julieann which made her uncomfortable. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Biting her lips, Julieann felt so unwilling and Holliste words reminded her that if she ends up offending her, her mother won''t be able to help in the matter.
She hates how Holliste keeps looking down on her.
"It''s not what I mean. Sorry... Go on." She said awkwardly and side stepped, going to her seat.
"Well, listen to this." Nelson said as he clicked on the holographic keyboard.
A video began playing, starting from the moment he gave Zosia a bottle water till the end of the investigation.
"So we captured the wrong person, huh?" Holliste said.
"We? No, Julieann did." Nelson reminded.
Julieann scoffed. "Now, it''s me no longer we. A good one, but what if she was lying? Huh?"
"She was under my spell." Nelson said.
"You used your powers?" Holliste turned to look at Nelson, surprise evident in her eyes.
"Tsk... Who are you kidding? I also used my powers to scan her room and there was a different scent from the normal one."
"She said her guide came to see her." Crimson said.
"Ha! Tell me about it. Since when did we have guides in human form. All of them all occupy important positions, how could one of such guides be assigned to her." Julieann retorted, unwilling to believe it
"Well, apparently. She is a VIP Soul. Would have been a VVIP but the token was only at that in the past government and has been degraded in the current one." Crimson said, showing them a picture on a tablet.
"What?" Julieann screamed. Her face twisted in disbelief.
The only thought she had in her head was; "Did I just arrest a VIP and one who wasn''t in the wrong? A victim?"
She was unwilling to believe it. How could it be?
Nelson raised his eyebrow at Crimson''s words, his eyes staring at the picture.
Holliste turned to look at Julieann who had a ferocious look in her face.
"Now, that we have gotten our answer on who she is, we can understand why they Targeted her.
Being a person with a VIP status, they must think she is among the upper echelon and that what they had done using her body and face could easily be covered up and then when she can''t do anything about them even after reporting to us, she would go begging them to stop or threatening them. As the case maybe."
"Yeah. They must not have known that we would go after her. Especially since what they had done coincides with the earthquake." Nelson nodded his head in agreement and said.
"Still put the two of them in the same cell. Let''s try to wring the truth from Sara through her." Holliste said.
"But we found her not guilty, sending her back to the cell, sends a wrong message." Nelson said.
"I know. So we would have to ask for her cooperation."
"Do you think she would agree? After all we delayed what she had to do." Crimson added.
"We would see." Holliste assured and left to go see Zosia.
Zosia who was left alone in the investigation room could only keep looking around and at a point where she was tired, she looked under the table.
"It seems like the table is also tapped." She muttered to herself.
"Mhmm" Holliste raised her eyebrows as she came in and saw Zosia musing to herself.
"Nothing. Can I go back now? My guide must be looking for me." Zosia said with a pause, then continued, "Since it''s not possible to communicate with the outside world or tell my guide where I am."
"Indeed, but don''t worry, we plan on releasing you. We need your help in catching the main culprit." Holliste said.
"Sigh! Do you want partial, full or just be there effort?" Zosia asked with a chuckle.
"Full of course." Holliste answered
"Your bill? Or what do I gain from it." Zosia asked.
"A good citizen badge."
"Tsk, even if I were to be a good citizen, your treatment to me wouldn''t be any different." Zosia commented. She folded her hands into her bossom.
Holliste couldn''t deny that Zosia was right, but she couldn''t offer anything much to Zosia.
"Don''t worry, I know the limits of what I can ask you. I am asking for a permanent residency. Is that possible?"
"Yes. The moment you are done with this. We would issue it to you." Holliste promised and breathe a sigh of relief.
****************
The game for catching the mouse started while Julieann was sent home.
On that same day, she made Sara say some clues which she was given access to the main system.
Zosia used that opportunity to penetrate it as well.
By the time it was approaching night, they figured who the person was.
"So it''s a man. And it seems he came here yesterday to report about my meeting with Sara. And he was given a good citizen badge." Zosia said, showing them the picture of the man.
"Quite ironic."
"Trace him." Holliste ordered.
Zosia tapped away while Nelson and Crimson looked on with awe. They suddenly felt a new round of awe for their captain and the victim they arrested.
Nelson felt a new round of appreciation towards Zosia and her capabilities.
"He is at xxx bar." Zosia said. The people in the room shouted yay and couldn''t wait to go catch the terrorist, until her voice doused whatever enthusiasm they felt.
Zosia hadn''t planned to inform them, but she decided to. She didn''t want to feel guilty later on.
"There is bad news."
"Huh? What?"
Everyone turned to look at her and even those already stepping out halted in their steps.
"There are some soul bombs buried in the building. We have to dismantle them."
"What do you mean? How is that possible?" Holliste said with disbelief coloring her expression.
"This is one of the most secured places." Nelson added, feeling it was impossible.
"It''s possible as it wasn''t the man who did it. It''s Julieann and another person. Whose aim of destroying the building is for political reasons.
"Are you serious now? Where are all the bombs located?"
"We would have to split and also call in other team while reporting this to the upper echelon."
Everyone immediately got to work. Zosia helped in the diffusing the bomb after learning from Nelson.
By the time the person was arrested and brought back to the station, the bombs had been eradicated.
Standing outside the station and ready to leave. Zosia was surrounded by team one members. Well, majority of them.
"Do you really not plan on entering the force, I can change the permanent residency to special entrance into the force."
Zosia smiled and politely rejected. Holliste kept pressing on but after being rejected continuously, she felt it was a shame.
"You have good skills. Train them well. As for the Library, come meet me if you still want to go." Nelson offered with a smile.
He only respected those who were capable. Now he understood why she had multiple skills and even be a VIP.
At first he was jealous after glimpsing at her status but after being with her, he realized, he was eating himself inside and she didn''t care.
"Can I add you?" Crimson asked.
"Infact add all of us." Holliste said.
At the end of the day, she made new friends in the force.
"Take care." She waved them good bye and returned back to her space.
"Ahh! I missed my space so much."
