Chapter 201: It doesn't matter
The sea looked indifferent: "Okay, you can say whatever you want, but for now, we still have to be careful of this super killer next to you." β
"This ......," Zhuang Xu felt a headache, "do you have any good proposals for this?" β
"Me?" The sea was helpless, "What advice can I suggest?" Anyway, all I can do is try to make sure that you don't have problems when using this "love at first sight" applet, and as for the rest-"
"Huh?" Zhuang Xu interrupted Dahai's words, "Speaking of this applet, have you noticed that his whole state has changed when we use this?" β
"Yes, but this procedure stimulates some glands in his body and makes some of the hormones in his body rise, so it's not a strange thing that his state will change."
"No," Zhuang Xu seriously, "you don't understand what I mean, if I understand correctly, the cicada is actually the only successful product of their biological human experiments after bacteriological warfare, biological modification and mechanical modification are different, you say, is it possible, this small program we made has brought us some good side effects that are beneficial to us?" β
"Oh......" the sea reacted, "this is indeed possible, if I want to think about it in this direction, I am actually more inclined to connect this with his emotional experience." β
"Emotional experience?"
"Yes, in fact, there has always been a folk legend about his first love, this legend was completely deleted a few years ago because his previous wife was very annoying, but due to his own influence, it had been spread to other countries before it was deleted, so although it is difficult to find relevant information in Squid Country now, it is easy to find information in other countries, including Tak Country."
Thinking of the fact that they had heard about General Chan's deeds and looked up his information before, Zhuang Xu hurriedly asked, "Can you tell me in detail?" Also, if it was a few years ago, then you can find out how his wife died a few years ago. β
"Are you suspicious ......?"
"Everything is just speculation until you get the evidence, you can check it quickly."
"Okay."
Zhuang Xu quietly observed the cicada with an increasingly kind face, trying to ignore the fact that the one who was particularly close to him was the "super killer" in the mouth.
"I found Zhuang Xu! In my opinion, your guess is not impossible. β
Zhuang Xu's spirit was shocked: "What do you say? β
"First of all, let's talk about his first love, it was when he was a teenager, at that time, the squid country was full of war, there were foreign robberies, and there were also internal strife and caused, in short, basically the people were in turmoil everywhere, and the cicada at that time had not been with anyone, he was just attacking foreign forces in order to protect his area from the invasion of war, and his first love, in fact, was his childhood sweetheart, that was a little girl who grew up in the same community as him."
"So that's the case, then it's understandable that he'll be so obsessed with it that he'll be looking for a mold for years to come......"
"That's right, the little girl later died on the battlefield after the prisoners of war were not cleaned up twice, there are many theories about this, some say that the little girl saw that an enemy soldier was not dead and stood up and fired a shot, so she struggled to pounce on the cicada to help him block the gun, and it is also said that the little girl was killed by the enemy soldier when she hugged the cicada, in short, no matter what it is, later the cicada will always spend a lot of time cleaning up the second time after the battle, and never let go of an enemy who is not dead."
It was supposed to be a moment of shared joy, but a bullet froze the joy of victory forever in that moment.
Zhuang Xu took a deep breath: "And then?" What do you mean by my guess that there is no possibility? β
"Because the report shows that the wife of the chirp died in an accident."
"Accident?" Zhuang Xu lowered his head to prevent the unnaturalness of his expression from being discovered.
In these years, even the so-called old death may be faked, let alone an accident.
"To be clear, what kind of accident was it?"
"According to major media reports, at that time, the cicada was on a patrol mission on a small star on the edge of the squid country, and the wife of the cicada who was far away from the cicada's house died mysteriously at home, although it appeared that she died from accidentally falling down the stairs to her death, but the deceased's expression before death was very frightened, as if she had seen something amazing......"
Zhuang Xu lowered his voice: "What a great thing? Oh, for example, the husband who was supposed to be on a mission on the edge of the astral body suddenly appeared at home, described as terrifying, and said that he was going to kill her to sacrifice her first love in the heavenly spirit? β
"This ......" Dahai disagreed, "I don't think he would let himself personally carry out this kind of thing, after all, if his cooperation with the Magpie Country did start from the germ warfare back then, then when he wanted to kill his wife, that is, when he had already determined that he was going to usurp the throne, at this time, even if he was full of desire to kill his wife, he should have come up with the safest and least likely way for people to grab the handle, the method you said, although it is not impossible, but the risk factor is too great, I don't think he will use it." β
"Your analysis is reasonable, but ......" Zhuang Xu carefully observed the posture of the cicada hugging him, which was a very possessive posture, Zhuang Xu thought for a while, "Dahai, I always feel that with his character, he should hope that the person who insulted the person in his heart was killed by his own hands." β
"Hmm......" Dahai paused, "is that possible?" Did he set off after everything was set up in his house? β
"You mean, he deliberately set up a trap for his wife at home and then went out to prepare an alibi for himself?" Zhuang Xu blinked, "This is possible, but if he hadn't suddenly appeared at home, what would have frightened his wife?" β
"Well...... "The sea carefully examines the various reports, "and one of the media said that his wife died on the stairs leading to the basement. β
"Basement?"
"Yes, because before the real and complete unification, the Squid Country was often full of wars, therefore, for the prevention of air raids and major war weapons, this kind of basement with a certain preventive effect is very common, compared to the ordinary basement, this basement in the Cicada's house can basically resist the full force of our Tak Country's heavyweight shells after opening the highest level of defense."
Zhuang Xu closed his eyes and tried to imagine the situation in his mind.
In a home that was originally safe, what happened to make her too late to ask the housekeeper and others for help, so she could only rush to the basement that could carry the shells?
"The sea? Is there any record in the media about this lady's daily habits? β
"Habit?"
"Yes, what do you have to do every day? For example, you have to have afternoon tea at 3 o'clock in the afternoon......"
"Ah, this kind, I'll take a look......" The sea carefully searched for the information, "There it is!" She said she had to run on the treadmill for an hour in the afternoon, and then there would be an hour-long management class at 8 a.m. and an hour's stretching class at 10 a.m. β
"What time do you start running in the afternoon?"
"Uh......" the sea quickly checked the information, "Found it!" Half past two in the afternoon! β
"And what time did she have an accident?"
"The body was found at four o'clock in the afternoon the next day, and the person who was found was one of their pastry chefs, and then the medical examiner's presumed time of death was between two and three o'clock in the afternoon."
Zhuang Xu's eyes dimmed: "Then it should be ......"
"What do you mean...... What did the cicada do on the treadmill? β
"I don't know what it is, butβhuh? Wait, since a pastry chef found the body, doesn't that mean there must have been someone else in their room at the time? Zhuang Xu was puzzled, "Could it really be that he ordered others to do it?" After that, did any other people in their house die or die unexpectedly after leaving their jobs? β
"This ......," the sea frantically searched for information, "that, as if to say that this lady doesn't like people to see her running, so she has a rule that when she runs, no one is allowed to appear in the house except for cicadas." β
"Oh......" Zhuang Xu suddenly said, "Then this explains why the cicada chose such a point in time, but why can a treadmill make an adult woman run to the basement in a panic?" β
The sea added: "And even when there are countless people outside the house who can call for help. β
"That's right, and it's- wait!" Zhuang Xu suddenly thought of something, "The sea, where is the entrance to that basement?" What procedures do I need to go through to enter the basement? β
"Uh...... Where is the entrance, this should be their confidential content, it should not be easy to find, but after what procedures are there to say, what is the iris, fingerprints and blood verification, in short, it is a more troublesome and cumbersome authentication process. β
"If that's the case, can it be ruled out that someone suddenly appeared, or something timely?"
The sea reacted: "Yes, if it was something that required her to take something like calling someone immediately, she would definitely choose to run out of the door, but now that she's choosing between pushing the door and doing something cumbersomeβwait!" The sea noticed that they had missed something, "Zhuang Xu, if this basement needs to go through so many certifications, how did that pastry chef get in?" β
Zhuang Xu's eyes lit up: "Yes! Hurry up and look for information, maybe the key point is here! β
The sea was looking for information, and Li Qiu's voice came, "Friend? You okay? Can you tell me what you've found there? β
"Oooh! Yes, there was an emergency just now, I forgot about it, and I'll tell you now......"
Zhuang Xu quickly told Li Qiu what had just happened, and at the end he asked, "So what is your situation now?" Didn't you say that Xing Yucheng found that there was a problem here? So you're on your way here? β
"Uh......" Li Qiu was a little embarrassed, "To be precise, it was Xing Yucheng who was on the way over, and he left Hu Yitable and a few other soldiers to escort me to the central hospital." β
"Central Hospital?!"
"What's wrong?" Li Qiu was yelled at by Zhuang Xu, "Is there a problem?" β
"It's not!" Zhuang Xu was a little anxious, "What I just said may be a little fast, some details haven't told you, and the one they are in now is the central hospital!" β
"Yo~" Li Qiu smiled, "Then I'm just right, just go and talk to them about the situation~"
"Yes!" Knowing that Li Qiu would be able to meet his teammates there, Zhuang Xu's worries were slightly reduced, "Anyway, you should try to use as little electricity as possible, and I will go to you as soon as I get better." β
"Okay, so what are you doing now?"
Zhuang Xu told Li Qiu all the things about General Cicada: "I'm tracking down the love history of the famous General Cicada." β
"Yo! I didn't expect him to look so kind and gentle, and he could do such a thing behind his back! β
"Hey, I haven't even skimmed the eight characters yet, and it's not necessarily whether he did it."
Li Qiu pouted: "It's all come to this point, it's estimated that eight or nine are not far from ten, think about it, the person who can marry the cicada, the person who can marry the cicada who has climbed to that status and marry him is definitely not a small background, how can a person who has experienced strong winds and waves run to the basement in panic if something happens casually?" I guess it should be that the cicada deliberately told him before leaving that something big might happen, and asked her to go to the basement to hide whenever something is wrong, and when she comes back, she will come to pick her up. β
"That's right!" Zhuang Xu suddenly realized, "Why didn't we think of this possibility before!" If that's the case......" Zhuang Xu thought for a moment, "Dahai, you look carefully for the report to see if there are any strange voices in the testimony of those employees." β
The sea also understood: "You mean that the cicada deliberately made a sound similar to an air raid siren through the treadmill?" β
Without waiting for Zhuang Xu to speak, Li Qiu was so excited that he shouted, "Yes, yes!" Yes, it is possible! It may be that how long the treadmill runs will trigger the sound of the sound equipment in the home! β
"That's right, but it takes two things to achieve this, one is that the devices in their home are all intelligently interconnected, and the other is that the sound they make is only heard by his wife alone."
"It's easy," Hai Hai quickly responded, "I just need to confirm the soundproofing of the Internet and their house." β
Li Qiu thought for a while, and added, "Generally speaking, alarms like air raid sirens should be the kind of sound that is particularly penetrating and harsh, even if the sound insulation is strong, it may not be able to guarantee that the slightest sound cannot be transmitted, I suspect that there should be any other sounds around at that time......"
"You guessed it right," the sea quickly affirmed, "at that time, the small garden in their house was being renovated, and it was said that the lady thought that the flowers were the same and that it was not interesting, and that the garden was going to be hollowed out and replaced with a small hot spring, because the hot spring involves a problem of underground water supply and water circulation, so the decoration will be louder." β
"That's right!" Li Qiu's heart was filled with a hint of disgust, "I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, can't I communicate well if there are any suspicions?" I have to come to such a show, but really- eh? By the way, is the Internet thing confirmed? β
"It's confirmed, their electronic devices are all connected, and there is no problem with this."
"Tsk! I didn't expect this cicada to be polite on the surface, but there was such a big demon living in his heart! β
Listening to Li Qiu's words, looking at the cicada that now looks so normal, Zhuang Xu always felt that something was wrong, "Li Qiu, in fact, when the cicada is ruthless, his whole state is different from what we usually see." β
"Of course, the state of ruthlessness will be different from usual! Even if we ordinary people are inβoh! Li Qiu's heart moved, "You mean, something is wrong with his mental state that has been transformed by biology?" β
"Yes!" Zhuang Xu was a little excited, "That's what I meant, and, if we were not wrong just now, it seems that after we used that applet, he is slowly regaining his previous consciousness." β
"You ......," Li Qiu said with some uncertainty, "Why are you so interested in the Gu you saw in the others?" β
"Gu?" Zhuang Xu's eyes lit up, "Yes! You say, is it possible that they implanted something like a Gu worm in his body when they bio-modified the cicada, so that his consciousness would be controlled by them to a certain extent? β
"It's not possible, it's certain!" Li Qiu lowered his voice coldly, "If you think about it carefully, although it is said that the cicada is the only result of all their experiments, it is very precious, but for them, I am afraid, they are more willing to accept a cicada that has failed than an uncontrollable cicada." β
"This is ......" Li Qiu's train of thought made Zhuang Xu's heart clear, and his heart trembled, "Now I understand everything, I'm afraid that the reason why the cicada, which has always been kind before, has changed so much, and even launched such a big change, is the biological transformation that the magpie country and him did." β
"If that's the case......" Li Qiu and Zhuang Xu said in unisonβ"The sea, can you find a way to do a detailed examination of the cicadas?" β
If you want to know what exactly is controlling the cicada, you have to get the cicada's belief body data, and the only way to do this now is the sea.
The only hope in Li Qiu and Zhuang Xu's hearts, Comrade Dahai, was very sad at the moment, "Friends, you have to figure it out, now we are in a weak position, not someone else's in a weak position, is it okay to get his body data?" Of course you can, but the premise is that people have to cooperate with us, and now we are completely controlled by others, and we have to be careful and careful in every move, how can we get the kind of data you want in this situation? β
The sea has a point, the situation inside the body is indeed not something that can be figured out by simply listening to the heartbeat, but in this situation, there is no way for the cicadas to lie down directly and let them check it.
The conversation froze in this place all at once.
"Huh?" Li Qiu suddenly spoke, "Didn't you go all the way to the present because you wanted to use the first love plot of the chirped cicada?" Since we can't fundamentally solve the problem now, let's use his first love plot to solve the problem on the surface! β
A word wakes up the dreamer.
Zhuang Xu suddenly realized: "That's right! But......" Zhuang Xu's words turned, "so the next thing I am going to do is to use a policy of softness to make him temporarily abandon their plan to settle the problem on the spot because of me?" β
Li Qiu, who completely understood what Zhuang Xu was resisting in his heart, grinned and said, "Brother! Life and face, you choose one for yourself. β
Zhuang Xu took a deep breath, the answer to this question was so simple that he didn't need to answer it at all.
But is it just a soft and coquettish, what's so difficult about this?
Zhuang Xu worked hard to build himself psychologically.
Yes, I have succeeded in so many scenes before, but it makes no sense that I can't do it this time.
Zhuang Xu looked straight at the ten-fingered slender hand lying quietly on his lap, his heart was horizontal, and he pressed it with a "snap", "General, I ......" Zhuang Xu looked at the chirp with shyness and timidity, "I'm a little scared ......"
The cicada smiled gently at Zhuang Xu: "Oh? He held Zhuang Xu's hand instead, "Well, with me, there's nothing to be afraid of, it's a big deal, I'll kill whoever you see if you're afraid, so that you can never see him again." β
"Oops~" Zhuang Xu hammered the cicada's heart hard, "That's not what people mean, what people hate the most is to fight and kill these bloody things...... You...... Never mind! Zhuang Xu pursed his lips aggrievedly, "Anyway, you won't listen to what I say, so I'll just not say it!" β
For a moment, the cicada felt as if her thoughts had traveled through years, falling on the woman who always liked to stand under a big tree and stomp her feet to herself, "You won't listen to me anyway".
Yes...... It would be nice to be able to go back to that time......
A trace of trance suddenly appeared on the cicada's face, and he lowered his head and gently hit Zhuang Xu's forehead with his forehead, "Fool, how could I not listen to your words?" Come, tell me what you want to do now? If you want it, I'll do it all for you! β
Zhuang Xu blinked his eyes, his cheeks were slightly red, and his eyes dodged, "I...... I want to ......," Zhuang Xu swallowed, "I think you will take me to the best restaurant here to eat now, I want you to tell me jokes during the meal, and then we will walk home hand in hand." β
"Hand in hand walk home, right?" The cicada hugged Zhuang Xu tightly and sighed, "After so many years, it turns out that you haven't changed, ah...... It's so nice......"
Zhuang Xu, who was imprisoned in the arms of the cicada, was a little at a loss, and he couldn't decide whether he should break away or not.
Fortunately, the cicada quickly made the decision on his behalf.
The cicada bent down and picked up Zhuang Xu, and his voice was gentle, "Don't worry, let's go to the best restaurant here to eat now, ah?" β
Yo! I didn't expect my beauty trick to really work!
"Wait!" Before the cicada could go out, the king of the magpie country stood up suddenly, "You forgotβhmm! The king of the magpie country turned his head and glared at the jellyfish king's attendant who held him down, and only to find that he didn't know when all the attendants around him had been left on his stomach, and his expression was a little panicked, and he kept stomping his feet, hoping to attract the attention of the cicada.
The cicada turned his head as he wished, with some impatience in his eyes, "What's wrong?" β
