Chapter 2 A Familiar Beginning
"Mr. Chen, your heartbeat is accelerating rapidly. Do you need a sedative to control your emotions?"

From his memory, Chen Yuanguang knew that this robot had served in this body's home for many years. It was the newest household robot 20 years ago, and of course it was not considered old now.

"Thank you, but no, I need to be alone for a while. You can go and do other things first." Chen Yuanguang said.

He felt that his top priority now was to sort out his memories and figure out what had happened.

"Chen Yuanguang? This body is also called Chen Yuanguang. Is it time travel or alien black technology?" Chen Yuanguang pondered.

“AI taking over the world? Alpha, is that the Alpha I know?
Or is it a name that AI gave itself after it developed emotions? "

This is the best time and the worst time.

After the war, an AI named Alpha gradually took over the world.

Under the leadership of AI, post-war reconstruction will be faster than at any other stage.

People began to migrate to Mars, mine on asteroids, and even go to Venus to mine. The unlimited abundance of material means that welfare alone is enough to maintain daily life.

With advanced technology and explosive productivity, it is simply a paradise for industrialists like Chen Yuanguang.

Just bringing back some black technology from this world would allow him to call the shots in the original time and space.

The worst time refers to the time for this body after AI took over the Malaysian government. He lost his job as a policeman, and then opened a detective agency. It is called a detective agency, but in fact it does all the odd jobs.

His parents were killed, and if he was killed too, Chen Yuanguang was afraid that he would be killed here and would be affected in his original time and space.

"The death of both parents is worthy of being the classic start of a protagonist. I don't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate to encounter this start as soon as I open my eyes." Chen Yuanguang complained.

The original body tried every means to find the murderer, but what does it have to do with me? Chen Yuanguang thought, I am not Chen Yuanguang from 2477, I am Chen Yuanguang from 2018.

After the new calendar was converted into the solar calendar, it is now 2477. Chen Yuanguang looked at the old calendar at home, which is the solar calendar.

Working as a detective is bound to get into trouble sooner or later, especially in Kuala Lumpur where there are all kinds of people. It is not easy to persist for seven years without getting into trouble.

With the cooperation of AI and the City Sky Eye System, more than 99% of crimes cannot be hidden, not to mention economic crimes. Is there anything that can do this faster than AI?

The detective work that Chen Yuanguang's father can do is only in certain specific areas. Relying on social welfare, most people do not need and cannot afford to hire detectives. Only the upper class can afford to hire detectives, and the most common scenario is to find evidence of infidelity.

AI won’t use the city’s sky eye to help you do this, which is where Chen Yuanguang’s father comes in handy.

In order to gain the initiative when dividing property, everyone needs someone to help find evidence of the other party's infidelity. AI will have a certain tendency when making judgments on property division, ranging from a few points to dozens of points. This ratio is at least nine digits for wealthy divorce cases.

Of course, huge wealth also brings hidden dangers. His parents were hit and killed by a truck on a small road leading to Jile Temple and were not discovered until ten days later.

Because Jile Temple was one of the only remaining temples after the Third World War, his parents went to Jile Temple to represent the Chen family to attend the completion ceremony of the Jile Temple renovation. The surrounding Sky Eye system was upgraded along with the renovation of Jile Temple, but it had not been activated when his parents were hit.

The truck was an old truck. After Alpha took over Malaysia, it had been parked in villages and towns around Kuala Lumpur. It had not been transformed with AI and had not been included in the city's Sky Eye management system. That was why it ran straight into people.

The truck driver has also been found and confessed to the crime he committed, but Chen Yuanguang's predecessor believed that the matter was not over yet and that this was definitely not a crime that a truck driver could commit.

Just bypassing the city's Sky Eye from the surrounding villages and towns and entering the Jile Temple is not something an ordinary truck driver can do.

Chen Yuanguang stroked his chin and ran to the study, looking at the walls of the study which were covered with photos. All of these photos were of people his father had offended.

Among them are local Malaysian tycoons, senior executives of multinational giants in Malaysia, and former senior government officials. Everyone is a suspect.

One of them was a middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses and looking like a scholar. He circled him with a red pen. Chen Yuanguang found that the information he had obtained was only part of it. The amount of information was too huge, and a lot of additional information would only be triggered when he saw related things.

Like the man circled in red, he had no impression of this person in his mind before, but now he knows who he is.

Lin Ran, a Chinese, was sent to Malaysia by Huafeng Group and married into a local Malaysian family. After the marriage, he was promoted all the way and became the de facto decision-maker of Huafeng in Malaysia.

Alpha replaced the original government functions and took control of a large number of giant companies.

To be precise, Alpha controls almost all giant companies, because all the giant companies that do not cooperate with him have been eliminated by direct business competition.

Lin Ran's wife suspected that he was cheating on her, and then found Chen Yuanguang's father to investigate. This was also the last commission that Chen Yuanguang's father handled before his death.

Coincidentally, Chen Yuanguang's father was hit and killed on the way out of Jile Temple, and that day happened to be the first day that Jile Temple reopened its gates, and Lin Ran was visiting Jile Temple at that time.

With so many coincidences, Chen Yuanguang believed that Lin Ran was the most suspicious.

"Chen Yonglin is visiting. Should we open the door?"

"whether"

Only then did Chen Yuanguang realize that there was a screen in front of him, which said that someone was visiting.

After he remembered who Chen Yonglin was, Chen Yuanguang clicked yes, then stood up, shifted his gaze away from Lin Ran, and walked into the living room to wait.

A tall, middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in quickly. The only regret was that his bald head ruined his overall temperament.

"Yuan Guang, I suggest you think carefully and don't be too impulsive. You just suspect that Lin Ran is related to the death of your parents, but you don't have any evidence.

Launching a truth trial rashly may not necessarily achieve the results you want.

If it was Lin Ran who did it, that would be the best, but if it wasn't Lin Ran, and he knew nothing about it, then you'd be giving up the family trust for nothing." Chen Yonglin advised.

"Uncle, I will think about it carefully." said Chen Yuanguang.

The father of this body of Tan Yuan Kuang is Tan Yong Kee, who, like Tan Yong Lin, belongs to the Yong generation of the Tan family. The Tan family is a large family in Malaysia that still stood firm after the Third World War.

It is precisely this background that allows Chen Yongqi to work as a private detective without being retaliated against.

A truth trial is a trial in which the other party is forced to take a lie detector test. The lie detector test, which has an accuracy rate of up to 99.9999%, was the method devised by Chen Yuanguang's predecessor.

This kind of truth trial is not something that anyone can initiate. It requires a huge price. Chen Yuanguang cannot afford this price himself, so he hopes that the Chen family will help him pay it. He will use the family trust in their hands in exchange.

In Chen Yonglin's opinion, Chen Yuanguang was completely making a presumption of guilt, and there was currently no evidence to prove that Lin Ran was related to the driver of the car accident.

The driver of the car accident was driving a truck. He lost his job after Malaysia was taken over by Alpha. The truck has been kept at his home in the countryside and has not been transformed by AI, so it can bypass the supervision of the city's Sky Eye.

If we rashly conduct a truth trial and the result is not as expected, the family trust will be lost and Lin Ran will be offended.

It’s no big deal that the Chen family offended Lin Ran. The problem is that after Chen Yuanguang lost the family trust, it also meant that he could no longer get the protection of the family. Lin Ran was a big trouble for him.

Chen Yuanguang didn't want to get involved in this matter at all. Chen Yonglin is not my father, so let him die.
