12. Gun, robbery?
Tiptoeing around, looking around, when Qiqi carefully used the key left by Nangong to slowly unscrew the closed door, the next moment she was not left with an empty room, but with Nangong who was about to run out of the door, panting.
"Huh!?"
"Seventy-seven!?"
Just about to rush out of the door, Nangong, who was back in the commercial street to look for Qiqi, gasped for breath while looking at Qiqi who honestly lowered his head.
The fact unfortunately coincided with the worst plan in Nangong's mind, after rushing home as fast as possible, Nangong found only an empty room, naturally, Qiqi must have run somewhere.
And now Qiqi, who is carrying a big bag in front of him and looks like he is sweating a lot, it is obvious that he can't just walk around the neighborhood, which means that the child he caught a glimpse of in the commercial street can only be Qiqi who sneaked there.
"Where did you go!?"
The fatigue of running for a long time mixed with the heat of the air made Nangong lose control of his emotions all of a sudden, even if Qiqi was just a child, "Still carrying a bag and sweating so much, don't tell me you're just walking around!?" ”
“…… In fact. ”
"Ran to the shopping street, right!?" Nangong pulled Qiqi closer to the room and said, "I saw you there!" It's useless to lie to me. ”
“……”
"Do you know what's going on there?"
Seeing that Qiqi didn't mean to admit his mistake at all, but groped for something in the bag behind him with his hand, Nangong became even more angry, "Didn't you promise me to stay at home well?" ”
“……”
"Whew, I'm sorry."
Qiqi's head was lowered, and his hands were behind his back. This look of "going to cry" finally made Nangong calm down a lot in an instant.
It is normal for children at this age to be naughty and disobedient, and too much blame will only be counterproductive. And this time it's not to blame her, but ......
"It's dangerous there today, if anything happens to you, I'll ...... Well, it's sad. ”
Seeing Qiqi suddenly raise his head, blinking at himself with big eyes and staring at him in surprise, Nangong felt a little shy, "Ahem, general, in short, I can take you to the place you want to go next time, don't run out alone." After all, you're just like my sister now, and I want to do my duty as an older brother. ”
Although Nangong only learned about Qiqi's information, she only learned her name, and even if she asked Qiqi, she couldn't answer more parts. But after this period of getting along, Nangong is not disgusted with the extra "sister" by her side.
"Hmm."
Qiqi's expression suddenly brightened up a lot, "I'll promise you half." ”
Say yes to half...... Forget it, there's no point in worrying about that now.
"Let's go take a shower first, I'll prepare lunch for you."
When Nangong wanted to take over the bag she was carrying behind for Qiqi, Qiqi had already trotted to her room with a "snap". Speaking of which, what exactly is in the Qiqi bag, I always feel that Qiqi is already a little difficult to carry on my back.
"If you get crushed in the waist, it's over."
Nangong muttered about the "women's **" problem that was basically impossible to know, and walked towards the kitchen. And I turned on the TV while I was busy.
Qiqi has come back safely, so Nangong, as an ordinary person, doesn't need to break through to be a hero. Moreover, there are people like Lingjing, and Nangong never thought that he could be a hero.
[There was a shooting in the commercial street, and the suspected gunman broke the glass and fled after the robbery. The scene has been brought under control and further investigation is underway. 】
Because by the time the reporters arrived in a hurry, the monster had long since lost its shadow, so it was only some pictures of the accident scene that were taken. As for Aoi Lei's side, she couldn't be stupid enough to stay there and wait for the police to come to her door, and she probably left the monitoring room long ago.
The next thing is to hope that the spirit mirror and they can successfully catch the monster, but since the reporter only reported a case of armed robbery, it probably means that there is no problem with the rest of the shopping street. So the possibility of not catching the yokai still accounts for the vast majority.
"I'm hungry!"
There was a complaint from Qiqi in the restaurant, obviously he had made a mistake just now and slipped into a dangerous place alone, but now he knocked on the spoon and began to urge food as if nothing had happened. The problem is that the little guy's belly has to be filled.
"It's coming, it's coming."
Nangong brought the hastily completed meal to the table, although it may be an illusion, but Nangong, who was sitting opposite Qiqi, always felt that Qiqi was in a much better mood now. No, maybe the mood is a little inconsistent, it should be said that it is ...... Attitude towards him?
"Remember to take a shower after eating."
"Hmm......"
Qiqi didn't take Nangong's words to heart at all, and she probably couldn't hear anything now when she had buried her face in the bowl. And Nangong, who didn't have much appetite, focused all his attention on the news report just now.
In the detailed report of the news, the reporter went out of his way to interview the owner of a jade shop, and judging from the location of his shop, it should be the one whose glass was shattered by bullets.
Almost all of the precious jade was stolen. When he continued to ask, the shopkeeper's answer was vague, and he could only explain that he had been knocked unconscious.
The case was reported as a "armed robbery", but was it really a armed robbery? Perhaps this is the same as the previous incident investigated with the Spirit Mirror, but it was just a false alarm caused by "Shen Yin".
It doesn't matter if the ordinary people on the scene are affected by the "divine hidden", it is better to say that this is better, but they who have already suffered a loss once can't be hit again.
Think, think about the whole incident, the whole incident of "robbery with arms". Armed robbery, perhaps this is not a thing, but a combination of two events to form a "hidden god", which caused it to become "one incident".
When he and Elizabeth were on patrol, they should have spotted the suspicious, cloak monster very early. Judging by her diminutive stature and the places she passed, she did not have the time or possibility to become a robbery suspect in the news. Because she should just be a "gunman" in "armed robbery", as for the guy who "robbed", it is someone else.
That is to say, before he and Elizabeth went to check on the monster and provoked her to shoot and become a "gunman", the jade shop was already visited by a "robber". And then, Elizabeth's dashing sword bounced off the bullet that shattered the glass of the jade shop.
Immediately after these two incidents, the "gunman" and "robber" were thus linked, and then became "gunman robber" because of the mystery. Unknowingly, it confuses almost everyone's judgment, but more importantly, the "robber" just "disappeared" inexplicably.
This is just a conjecture, maybe the "robber" is really just an ordinary person, but because of the impact of the bullet shot by the "monster", it has something to do with the gods. However, Nangong prefers to believe that the "robber" is also a monster, and this whole incident is caused by the things that two monsters committed almost at the same time, and the two become a more confusing "Great Divine Hide". "If you believe in youkai, believe a little more." Although this sentence of a thousand faces sounds a bit nonsense, it does have some effect.
Commercial streets, jade shops, robberies, monsters. If these are combined, it is self-evident who this robbery monster is.
"Seventy-seven."
Nangong stood up, now he didn't want to wait any longer, "I've had enough fun just now, can I guarantee to stay at home this time?" I'm going to go out. ”
