"It's okay."

Gu Wu draped his coat over Ying Lili, and the girl who had just been held hostage smiled back and nodded firmly

"Don't worry, it's like experiencing the story in the movie, and this experience is a rare memory."

"Sorry, there won't be a next time."

"In that case, we have to act together all the time in the future, Mr. Gu Wu will occasionally suddenly disappear from the scene."

"I see, if there's something like that, let's stay together."

After making such a promise, Gu Wu glanced at the center of the chaos, that is, the captured criminal and the security personnel who suppressed him, while Altair, who had originally shot the criminal, was also nearby.

Seeing Gu Wu's movements, Ying Lili stood up, cheered up, and after taking a deep breath, she said calmly

"I don't have to tell me, I understand, Mr. Gu Wu, let's deal with those tricky issues tonight, I believe you are not only here to play, but also to get work done."

"Well, you and Kasumigaoka, and Tina, they go back first, and I'll take a look here."

Hearing Gu Wu say this, Xia Zhiqiu walked to Ying Lili's side and walked side by side with him with a gentle attitude.

"Then I'll go back with Sawamura first, don't get it too late, your body is the most important asset."

Gu Wu, who said that he understood, signaled that he had no idea of staying up all night for the sake of a small attacker, because this attack seemed to him full of suspicion and stupidity.

On the other side, Tina and Luise wanted to stay, but with Shimazaki instantaneously persuading them, the two sisters left with Kasumigaoka.

Since Shimazaki is also going back, Altair will naturally not stay at the scene.

As he passed by Gu Wu, Altair looked suspicious

"You said that someone attacked you outside, which means that the hostage incident that happened just now is the result of 'striking the west', so you can't rule out the possibility that other people are being targeted, so I'm going back with them in an instant."

"No problem, their safety is in your hands, Miss Altaïr."

"You too, stay safe."

When the conversation ended, Altaïr caught up with the rest of the group and left the scene like the other guests.

Seeing the girls leave, and the number of guests attending the party gradually decreased, Gu Wu walked towards the place where the perpetrator was.

The offender who was hit by Altaïr from the side before had bruises in his abdomen and vomited blood, which can be seen to be the result of Altaïr's mercy, otherwise he would have died a long time ago.

Standing in front of the criminal, Gu Wurang gave an order to let the security personnel go back to standby, and he was in charge here.

Thanks to this, the originally overcrowded party hall became cold and lonely, leaving only Gu Wu, Mayor Ward, Harriet and Fanny, plus a few representatives of different races from different cities and special districts.

"It's weird......"

After the outsiders left, Harriet was the first to speak.

Drawing everyone's attention, she pointed to the half-lying offender on the ground

"The person outside who tried to snipe Mr. Gu Wu has been solved, the anomaly is that they did not snipe at a distance, but a sneak attack shot at close range, let's take it as the 'necessary distance for the ability to launch', so what about this person......?"

Harriet still had the same expression

"Isn't it unusual that this person infiltrated the party as an instrumentalist and then hijacked the blonde girl in public? If he really wants to succeed, isn't it the best choice to do it secretly? ”

"Miss Harriet meant that 'there are many ways to threaten Mr. Gu Wu, but I chose the most radical and dangerous one'."

"Fanny's addition is right, this guy can completely threaten Mr. Gu Wu with poison, otherwise he will destroy the antidote or something, what is the result? Directly take hostages, and also on the premise of not knowing the enemy's combat effectiveness. ”

After saying that, Harriet crouched down and patted the offender's cheek to make him sober up.

The rest of the people also fell into solitary contemplation because of Harriet's words just now.

The mayor was the first to lift his silence

"Could it be that you want to use this fastest means to get Mr. Gu Wu to tell the so-called truth?"

To this analysis, the orc Sigrini, who was one of the representatives of the alien race, responded in bewilderment

"It's not impossible, but the question is why are they in such a hurry, if it really comes to the point where 'they have to threaten Gu Wu at the first time and make the truth public', it is impossible to send only a few people over, right?"

Sigrini asked Harriet, who had slapped the offender's cheek, to stop, and he stared at the other man.

"This human is very ordinary, with no strong muscles or an unsettling aura, just a very ordinary human."

"Oh-oh? Do you aliens still have the ability to do this? ”

"This is an 'instinct' that my people have mastered for many years, and it can come in handy at any time, and Miss Harriet has a dangerous aura for me."

"Of course, thorny roses will prick your hands."

Harriet responds and praises herself, she has a cheerful personality and does not flinch, and most likely she will become a real strong woman in the future.

Hearing the girl's reply, Sigrini smiled slightly, and then looked at Gu Wu and Sword.

"Your Excellency Gu Wu, Mr. Mayor, in my opinion, this human being is probably not the criminal we want."

"I don't doubt you, but at least let him say it himself."

As the mayor, Sword, who must solve the problem, wants to know more about the identity of the person who messed around at the party.

At that moment, a report was delivered to Sword.

But Sword, who didn't open it, handed it over to Gu Wu as soon as possible.

"Mr. Gu Wu, the above is the information of this criminal, although we have done a background check, but we didn't expect it to become like this."

"Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you."

Ying Lili was held hostage by Gu Wu's mistake, and he would not let such a thing happen again.

Then he took a cursory glance at the information, since the investigation was normal at that time, Gu Wu didn't expect to find anything important.

At the same time, Gu Wu, who closed the book, heard a groan, and the criminal, who was half-lying on the ground, was much more conscious now.

"Wow!! You guys......! ”

The offender looked at the crowd in horror and couldn't help but scream.

A blue object suddenly flew by—

Syllable!!

Gu Wu slapped the offender in the face with a data clip, causing him to fall into a state of blindfold for a short time.

"If you want to live, tell everything you know, and then spend your life in prison, the act of taking Ying Li Li as a hostage should have been to cut off your hands and feet as a price."

"It was an accident! Listen to me!! ”

"So what?"

The offender wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, covered his aching abdomen, and breathed a sigh of relief before continuing

"My family has been held hostage ......! Wife and son, they disappeared three days ago! Then yesterday I suddenly got a picture with my wife and children, saying that I had to make a big fuss at the party. ”

"Missing ......"

Gu Wu repeated it softly.

Could it be that the missing people are being taken hostage?

No, who can be a hostage when a family goes missing? So it looks a little different.

Gu Wu, who didn't completely connect them, asked again

"Just one instruction?"

"And one more ...... If you say you're caught, I'll give this to the person who caught me. ”

The perpetrator handed over a note.

After Gu Wu got his hands on it, he read out the content on it.

"'There's what you're looking for at Warehouse 15 at the ice-free port west of Winters,' Mr. Sword, is there a supervisor over the harbor now? Has there been a rigorous check? ”

"The western ice-free port is the harbor where the fishing boats are located, and it is also the docking station and unloading point for some distant-water fishing boats, after all, although our city is located in the north, it has a very complete transportation system, and it is very convenient to transport."

Mayor Sword added with some nervousness

"It is also for this reason that there is a lot of traffic, and we have tried to ensure that nothing is lost."

"Don't worry, I don't care about this, you'll take care of your problems yourself, as long as you don't cause big trouble."

After Gu Wu finished speaking, he handed the note to Harriet and the others and asked them to see it for themselves.

When everyone circulated it, Gu Wu made a decision.

"Then let's investigate."

Once you have decided, the next step is action.

But not everyone agreed.

"Isn't that a trap? Mr. Gu Wu plans to go directly? ”

After asking, without waiting for Gu Wu to respond, Harriet gave her own plan

"I asked my entourage and Mr. Mayor's garrison to check first to see if the 'No. 15 warehouse in the western ice-free port' was safe."

"That's too inefficient, so it's better for me to go there myself."

"So Mr. Gu Wu is too reckless!"

"I've decided."

After Gu Wu finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone to call up the map, and asked Sword to mark the detailed location for him, and then left the scene directly.

As one of the representatives of the alien race, Sigrini couldn't help but persuade him

"We all know Mr. Gu Wu's merits, it must be the result of strength, but it is not wise to go to a dangerous place alone."

"Sigrini, I understand your concerns, but one thing you're mistaken......"

Hearing the response, Sigrini looked puzzled, and Gu Wu gave a reason

"My strength is not built on victory, but on this world."

Overconfident speech.

The inflated Gu Wu is indeed qualified to say so.

So he took another step and walked towards the street beyond the party hall.

"What's the matter, Uncle Minotau."

"Miss Harriet, I'm only twenty-five years old......"

The retorting Sigrini stared at the main entrance of the hall where Gu Wu had disappeared

"I felt a very terrifying aura just now......"

"You mean Mr. Gu Wu?"

"That's right."

Sigrini, who was unconsciously sweating, muttered in a low voice

"You must not be an enemy of Mr. Gu Wu......"

……

Gu Wu, who left the party hall, sneezed.

Since it's impossible to catch a cold, most of them are talking about themselves.

Gu Wu, who didn't care, stared ahead, and at the same time confirmed the electronic map displayed on the mobile phone screen.

"It's coming soon."

Exhaled hot air, the white mist drifted away, and Gu Wu, who was moving forward at great speed, quickly saw the ice-free harbor.

The port is brightly lit and bustling, with many people taking place on the decks of moored ships, and people on land holding small drinking parties to celebrate the end of the day's work.

In this way, it seems that there is no problem with the port being called 'Harbor That Never Sleeps'.

Gu Wu, who lowered the height, fell to the ground, and the mobile phone map was not accurate to a few meters, because this area itself is the location of the rental warehouse, so it is uniformly displayed as 'ice-free port rental warehouse'.

Moving his gaze, Gu Wu, who had landed, looked around.

There are ordinary warehouses and refrigerated warehouses in the field of vision, and some of them are the areas of the other party's containers.

In order to find a sign like 'No. 15', Gu Wu walked in through the front side door.

Arrive at the doorman and ask him through the window

"Good evening, where is warehouse 15?"

"Who are you? Do you want to view the files of the repository? If you don't have it, you won't be able to get through. ”

"Got it."

Gu Wu used magic to hypnotize the other party, so as to obtain the detailed location of the 'No. 15 warehouse'.

After walking forward for five hundred meters, then turning left and going forward for another three kilometers, Gu Wu found a warehouse with the 'No. 15' sign on it.

Its gate was blocked, and Gu Wu, who had cut it open, easily broke inside.

The main function of the warehouse is refrigeration, so the temperature is colder than the snow outside.

Walk over to a chest and use the ability again to open it.

At the moment when the cold air was surging, Gu Wu saw his arm.

"These are ......"

Severed arms and other limbs.

There is no such thing as a complete existence......

Could it be the missing?!

Gu Wu's expression was serious, and he thought of many possibilities for a while.

The current situation is -

The sudden appearance of the travelers, the sudden increase in the number of missing people, and the combined unrest in the north can hardly be regarded as coincidences.

What is the connection between these simultaneous questions?

Be sure to do a thorough investigation.

For this reason, Gu Wu contacted Mayor Sword as soon as possible.

"Don't send too many people, and remember to bring a coroner with an experienced forensic scientist."

Gu Wu wasn't sure who the stumps came from, whether they might be missing or stolen bodies that had been dug up and used to create panic.

[Coroner? It looks like things are getting worse. 】

"Well, then investigate the entry and exit records of this No. 15 warehouse, and find out the people and ships related to it."

[Okay, I'll arrange it now.] 】

"I'll leave it to you, I'll go rest and rest."

At the end of the communication, Gu Wu sealed the warehouse and left the scene.

As soon as he returned to the hotel, Gu Wu lay on the sofa in the living room and closed his eyes.

"System, what is the problem in this world?"

[Respond to the host, whatever it is, one thing is certain, and that is that 'the host must not be shaken'. 】

"I know."

Gu Wu sat up.

"I won't waver."

Whatever happens, the world will be protected.

This is what Gu Wu will definitely insist on.
