Chapter Ninety-Six: Blame
"Missing?" Du Qinyue bit the breakfast cake and said vaguely: "Have something to do with us?" ”
Xu Sheng elegantly drank a high-energy breakfast drink, looked up at the people present, and said slowly: "Do you remember the Chen family kid you met yesterday?" He didn't come home all night, because he was very precious in the family, the only son, and he had searched all the places that had anything to do with him, and there was still no news, and if there was no result tonight, he would have to look for someone with great fanfare. ”
The twins, who had always been well-behaved, blinked blankly: "And then?" ”
Both children already knew about yesterday's events, but they couldn't think of the relationship at all. Everyone did not shy away from the two of them, this cruel world has long allowed people to use age to escape problems, so although they did not let the two minors spend their abilities, they never concealed the changes.
Lian Qingyun's eyes were the first to flash, and he said, "You mean, because we had an exchange and conflict with him yesterday, his family will also list us as the object of suspicion?" ”
Qing Dai couldn't help frowning and said: "Yesterday was just a small matter, it should be said that it was over before the accident happened, and what really contradicts that Chen, isn't it He Xiaowan?" "This is the sin that is desired, and there is no excuse for it?
However, Qing Dai's words landed, but they did not get the eyes of everyone's approval, but fell silent.
Du Qinyue opened her mouth, and before she could say it, Xu Sheng had already said to Qing Dai: "He family, they can't afford to mess with it." ”
Qing Dai paused for a moment, and didn't react until three seconds later: powerful. It's not synonymous with nobility, of course, persimmons pick up soft pinch, and they won't let go of all those who are suspicious. If there is a problem, if there is no problem, it can also vent anger and deterrence.
Zhang Hongjun sighed slightly: "Strictly speaking, the Chen family also knows that the He family is not so low-level even if it is a whole person, but what happened, they had no way to deal with He Xiaowan, the first suspect." Then you can only find a scapegoat on the spot. to replace the He family to be punished, which can be regarded as an explanation of the scene, to maintain the face of their family. The matter of saving people is still secondary. ”
Time. The scene fell silent.
Qing Dai looked at the breakfast in her hand. The appetite has subsided. It's obviously in a heated room. Even wearing an extra single coat would feel the hot temperature, but she began to chill all over her body.
She knew, based on the attitudes of a few people present. Except for Xu Sheng, who is very mysterious, even if the other people's family backgrounds are good, they can't compete with the Chen family.
She knows that she is the most "humble" person in this group, but when she encounters such a thing, she will never be left behind by her companions and used as a shield to push out, and even her friends will collectively launch "privileges" to ensure her safety. But the fear and sadness that she had never had in the dangerous mutant jungle filled her heart.
Is this the reality of human society? Obviously, there are so many mutated creatures outside, and the zombie city, the heavenly Kyoto, is full of darkness and strife. Human life is nothing compared to the face and interests of the powerful.
Perhaps discovering the abnormality of Qing Dai, Xu Sheng stretched out his hand, held Qing Dai's hand, and slowly tightened it.
Du Qinyue glared at Xu Sheng's "devil's claws", and didn't say anything after all, only muttered for a while: "Otherwise, Qingdai, you can hide first?" ”
Zhang Hongjun frowned and shook his head: "It's more problematic to hide, and if you don't do it well, you'll be 'missing'." ”
Xu Sheng also bowed his head and said, "You can't hide." I've already made arrangements, prepare for the worst, and don't worry if someone in us is caught, bail them out in two hours at the latest. ”
Qing Dai listened in a daze, and suddenly raised her head and said, "Missing person, is there only this young master of the Chen family?" ”
Xu Sheng was rare for a moment, and immediately replied: "Of course it's not all, although Kyoto is trying its best to manage it now, there are too many outsiders and people who have lost their files, and there are many people who disappear every day, so there are so many patrols." However, the Chen family kid is currently the most valuable one. ”
Du Qinyue said hatefully: "This is not clear that it is a public security problem in Kyoto, why do you count those of us who have just returned from other places as suspects?" ”
Zhang Hongjun did not habitually refute, he knew very well that Du Qinyue was just complaining, and the reality was that they could only be blamed.
Qing Dai bit her lip, and her eyes changed from sloppy to firm: "Then let's go find someone quickly." ”
That's right, hurry up and find someone. Qing Dai struggled out of that sadness, and her first reaction was: save people!
She still remembered the young man she met yesterday, who was not very old and had just come of age, although he acted arrogantly and willfully, but his eyes had not yet gotten rid of ignorance, and he was not contaminated with worldly sophistication and malice. He disappeared like this, and even his family did not search for it with all their might, but focused their efforts on fighting, what a terrible thing.
Everyone was stunned by Qing Dai's words.
Get? Aren't you talking about self-help? Save whom? The missing hapless bastard?
Xu Sheng's eyes flowed with brilliance, he looked at Qing Dai fixedly, saw the request in her eyes clearly, and only felt as if he was shocked by that bloody man for the first time, and it seemed to be even more shocked - this girl, revealing the warmth of human nature from her bones, meaningless foreign objects, not afraid of evil thoughts, and pure jade and round. Even if he thinks that he has seen countless unpredictable people's hearts, he doesn't dare to say that he can stick to his original wish.
Everyone also woke up in turn and looked at Qingdai with a peculiar look. They all thought that they had seen and understood Qingdai a long time ago, but they didn't think that she was far purer than they thought.
Du Qinyue picked up the drink in his hand, dried it as if he was pouring wine, and the water cup was placed heavily on the table, making a loud noise, knocking on people's hearts: "Okay, let's go find someone, those people are looking for something, it's also tonight, let's go find someone first, so many people are missing, there must be traces to follow." ”
Zhang Hongjun said a little ashamedly: "That Qingdai, Aunt Hou ......" Since something happened, the plan to find a doctor to treat Hou Siping will inevitably be delayed.
Qing Dai's eyes also sank, and she shook her head and said, "I know, it's not suitable now, wait for this matter to pass, now in Kyoto." Everything that maintains the nutrition warehouse can be bought, and the specific medicine for treatment has not appeared, and it is the same to wait at the hospital. ”
Xu Sheng took Qing Dai's hand and said warmly: "Don't worry, I can arrange a few familiar doctors, the nutrition warehouse is not suitable, or you can go to a place with better conditions to recuperate, Auntie's body needs to be restored, and there must be a special nurse to restore the function." ”
Du Qinyue couldn't see Xu Sheng's inch, and interjected: "I said." You're so powerful. Isn't it faster to find someone and give us some manpower? ”
Xu Sheng smiled gently: "Naturally, if Qingdai wants to find someone, I will follow to find someone." ”
Despite everyone's poor appetite. They were all hurriedly stuffed into their stomachs. Prepare to unleash the power in your hands. Search for missing persons. The two twins also volunteered, but they were forcibly sent to a temporary school in Kyoto to manage minors, after all, too much filth is easy to distort people's hearts. It's a good thing that they have less exposure to until they really grow up.
It didn't take long for Xu Sheng's manpower to be in place one by one, and even Hua Junpeng was pulled into this room.
said that he was looking for someone, but including the locally-born Du Qinyue, they were all confused about the current situation in Kyoto, let alone looking for someone, it would be good not to lose themselves. had no choice but to wait for Xu Sheng to finish understanding the information and then assign work.
Qing Dai watched Xu Sheng exchange information with several people who brought the news, and then ordered other people to do things, which was calm and concise, where was the rogue companion on the road who had a very low sense of zài, and it was clearly a general who scolded Fang Xuan.
Inadvertently, catching a glimpse of Du Qinyue's face full of surprise, Qingdai asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
Du Qinyue touched her chin and said in a low voice: "In that group of people, I seem to have seen the youngest son of the Song family, this Xu Sheng's energy is really big enough, I have raised his value several times, but it is not enough." ”
Qing Dai smiled, didn't speak, looked down at the map in his hand, no matter what, remember more, and save yourself from accidentally getting lost.
Du Qinyue touched Qingdai and said, "Do you really want to be with him?" He is a condition that ordinary people really can't afford. ”
Qing Dai didn't have any twisted feelings at the moment: "I know, but we are all precarious now, it is not easy to have fate, even if there is no result, you can't leave regrets." ”
Du Qinyue looked at Qingdai as if to say that the weather was good, the wind was light and the clouds were light, her heart hurt slightly, and she had nothing to say.
There wasn't much communication between the two girlfriends, and Xu Sheng's arrangement was almost complete.
"I, Hua Junpeng, and a few of you, Qing Dai, will go to the south and east of the city together, and everyone else already has a team of old partners, so let's go separately."
Qing Dai This is the first time to see Xu Sheng's resolute posture, and she only feels that the man in front of her is full of commanding temperament, which makes people involuntarily surrender. Gap? She curled the corners of her lips, life is always to be willing to invest and take risks, do whatever you want, and have no regrets or complaints.
Hua Junpeng is an old Kyoto, and the south of the city is an old place he is familiar with, several people quickly came to the place where many people had been recorded missing, Xu Sheng was responsible for taking Qingdai to perceive whether the environment was abnormal, and Du Qinyue, Zhang Hongjun and Lian Qingyun asked the residents who lived and worked in this generation with Hua Junpeng, and inquired about the clues of the past.
Although Xu Sheng has manpower and capital, in the face of the mixed situation in Kyoto, the stupidest and most effective way is still such a primitive question. Of course, the effect of this is also very insignificant. Two hours passed, and the results of the inquiry were nothing, and there were too many people from other places, even Hua Junpeng had no way to gain trust, and only received more suspicious and defensive looks.
Several people are helpless, the matter of missing persons has long become an open secret at the lower levels, and it is too difficult for them to let down their guard without official status.
Qing Dai's perception also didn't get much effect. Her perceptual ability, once she chooses to widen the range, then the fineness decreases geometrically, and to be able to perceive those cats that may exist in the deep house, the range must be reduced, which leads to the speed of walking and checking comparable to that of a turtle crawling.
What made Du Qinyue jump the most was that they found a few strange people behind them. When Xu Sheng asked his two subordinates to check the information, he learned that they were all used by the Chen family to keep an eye on them, and in order to prevent Qingdai and these suspects from escaping, they couldn't find such a suitable scapegoat!
However, she didn't take this qiē Qingdai to heart, she still used her perception to explore the high walls around her step by step, and every time she encountered a place with similar tunnels and secret doors, she would stop and expand her senses, but unfortunately it was more about the cellar and interior layout of her private home. Even many owners don't know that there are only many insects and ants in it, and the air is already poisonous.
"Qing Dai! Let's go have lunch! Du Qinyue watched Qingdai walk in the cold wind, and she was covered with sweat, but she had nothing to say, so she could only call out when she saw that the sun was empty and the cafeteria was close in front of her.
Qingdai was in a trance for a moment and almost fell. Fortunately, Xu Sheng kept holding her hand. This did not fall to the ground: "Lunch? ”
Xu Sheng slowly cut off the energy transmitted to Qing Dai's body, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the sweat for her: "That's right, it's already noon." Eat first. When you are full, you have the strength to come back in the afternoon. ”
Qing Dai cleared her senses. Only then did he realize that his stomach had been rumbling for a long time, so he nodded: "Okay, let's eat the fastest set meal." ”
Eat it quickly. A few people continued the morning journey and finished the predetermined area, only encountering a place with a large suspicion, but that room was proved by Xu Sheng to be a newly emerging underground gambling house, and the flow of people was not small, especially at night, so those missing secret passages could not be here.
When night fell, Xu Sheng carried Qingdai back to the base camp. All the teams sent out were assembled on time, but there were no obvious gains, and there were a lot of suspicions, but there were very few that could be investigated.
Unsurprisingly, they had just started dinner when a man in a police uniform and a few mean-looking people knocked on their door.
"I'm sorry, this Ms. Qingdai is suspected of the abduction of missing persons, please assist us in our investigation." The uniformed officers took out their documents and orders, and they were righteous and stern.
Du Qinyue was furious, but was forcefully suppressed by Qing Dai.
"Okay, I'll be right here, please allow me to bring some food and change my clothes." Qing Dai doesn't have any panic and fear, not to mention that she has a clear conscience, but she has villain behavior, can't she protect herself with her ability? What's more, there is also this group of friends who are working back and forth, and the possibility of suffering is very small.
Those people didn't seem to expect Qing Dai to be so calm and cooperative, but they were a little dazed, so Qing Dai acquiesced to them and went upstairs. When they were about to object, Du Qinyue and Zhang Hongjun had already walked out: "What, the cooperation is not enough?" She's not a prisoner yet, we're all here, and we're still afraid that people will run away? ”
The people who came to arrest had obviously already understood the identities of the people in this room, although it was not very big, but it was also a little troublesome, otherwise they would have been arrested a long time ago, and now it is not time for a conflict, so naturally they can only smile and say: "Where, we are just routine." ”
"Routine? I hope you are really routine, not taking the opportunity to buckle your hat and prevaricate at will! Du Qinyue knew that it didn't make much sense to say this, but she still couldn't help but warn about it.
Just when these people were speechless, Qingdai had already tidied up, changed into sweaty and soiled clothes during the day, and came to the police uniforms refreshingly: "I'm fine, let's go." ”
A group of people are a little impressed by the "civilian" girls in this report, this calm spirit is already better than many delicate daughters and noble sons. According to the rules of Kyoto, crying and talking will not solve the problem, and being obedient will actually get more convenience. They didn't expect that Qingdai was not "sensible", but really not afraid at all.
Qing Dai gave Du Qinyue and Xu Sheng a few reassuring glances, and also received Xu Sheng's affirmative looks, and slowly followed out.
She observed the escort people, and was a little funny in her heart, among the few strong men, three were superpowers, and their blood was very vigorous, and it seemed that their evaluation of her was quite high, and they were very guarded.
To her surprise, these people walked far away, and their attitudes did not become worse, and they were polite and polite from beginning to end, which was much more normal than when they first entered the door, but let her take a look at it, was it intentional at first?
Without transportation, everyone can only walk, which naturally takes a lot of time.
Qingdai estimated that she walked for more than half an hour, and finally came to the location of the security department.
originally thought that she was just locked up, and then waited for the order of the people above or the negotiation rescue of her companions, after all, it was a senseless disaster, but she didn't expect to enter an interrogation room directly.
Perhaps considering her status as a supernatural person, the handcuffs were redundant, and no one came to restrict her behavior, and after the escort left, several strange and oppressive people walked in.
Qingdai finally felt that something was wrong, this was not a "routine" look, but a real forensic investigation. Isn't she a scapegoat that has long been identified?
"You, Qingdai?" First, a man with a hard face sat opposite Qingdai, picked up the information, and released all his momentum without pretentiousness: "I just entered the city from the south gate yesterday to register, and my ability is intermediate, and I can control some plants." ”
Qingdai nodded: "Yes." ”
"Good." The man said this, but his face did not change at all, and the majesty he exuded became more solemn: "Then, please tell me, why did you and your companions go to the Academy of Sciences last night?" ”
Qing Dai was shocked, only to feel that she had been hit hard: "I ......"
The man didn't seem to see Qing Dai's gaffe, and continued: "You guys are indeed very smart and have avoided patrols, but as long as you have the heart, it is not difficult to find traces in the Academy of Sciences." This means that they have an inquiry that is empirical and cannot be denied.
Qing Dai's mind became clearer and clearer: Academy of Sciences? She remembered the cry for help she had heard last night before everyone left the Academy of Sciences with their mother's nutrition pod! (To be continued......)
