Chapter 160: Remnant
"It's not like you can raise slaves on the Pink Star." The old guy surnamed Ye seemed to see through the little bit of caution with a happy face, so he sneered and reminded him.
"The Pink Star is full of aura, and even ordinary people living here have half a lifespan than in the Nether. People from the Nether who don't want to fly up and live for a long time, as long as they can settle on the Pink Star, there are many people who are willing to be slaves. Therefore, the Citizens' Committee specially enacted the "Slave Ownership Law", which stipulates that citizens who keep slaves must pay a huge amount of naturalization fees and planetary resource occupation fees for slaves. I heard that the first naturalization fee alone costs 100,000 cards, and then the annual resource occupation fee for slaves has to be paid. If not, every citizen can raise slaves at will, and everyone will get their own seven aunts and eight aunts here, wouldn't the Pink Star have long been overcrowded? You're a freshout of school, and you think it's so easy to keep a slave? Do you see how many citizens have slaves? Keeping slaves is a luxury in Pink Star! You little hairy kid knows a fart. ”
Xiaobu was speechless, and turned to look at the little man standing next to him, only to find that the other party was looking at him coldly. It dawned on him that the little creature could understand what they were saying. He was about to step forward to explain and say a few words about the idea of making the other party a slave and something like that, when suddenly an alarm sounded in his ear, and it was the trigger charm he had placed on the door of his residence that was activated.
Someone is breaking into his quarters!
——————————————————————————
When Xinghui passed by the scene of the crime, he saw that Ni Renqiang was talking to two fat guys, and knew that these two people might be the family members of the other two deceased people in addition to the water swimming to identify the bodies, he was afraid of stopping and delaying time, so he just said hello to Ni Renqiang from a distance, and told the other party that he would go to Rongyang Village outside the city to investigate a student, and let the other party temporarily preside over the work of the crime scene.
On the way, he felt still a little uneasy, so he used the communication charm to connect to the police station, and asked the police station to transfer to the communication letter of the security officer of Rongyang Village. After the two sides were connected, he wanted the security guards to stabilize Bu Zongheng first, and then interrogate him when he arrived. Unexpectedly, the security officer said that he was not in the village, he went to the neighboring village early in the morning to visit relatives, and he was going to spend the night in the neighboring village, even if he rushed back now, I am afraid it would not be earlier than Xingguang. Starlight had no choice but to speed up herself.
Starlight is a proactive character. Before he reported for duty, he knew that he would be transferred to the Fenlan Police Station, and in order to carry out his work faster and better, he conducted a written survey of the situation of each village in the Fenlan area in advance, consulted a large number of official materials, and looked for some relevant books such as local chronicles. So although it was his first time going to Rongyang Village, he didn't know anything about it.
Rongyang Village was originally a half-local, half-military pension institution. Two hundred years ago, when the coalition forces of the Alliance of the Orchid Republic on the Blue Star resisted the first large-scale invasion of the Soul Eaters, a large number of wounded were generated, and the Alliance government requested the Pink Star Citizens Committee to allow the wounded above the Nether to recuperate on the Pink Star in order to recover the wounded more quickly and to maintain the combat strength of the high-end personnel on the front line. After meeting and negotiating, the Citizens' Committee agreed to allow some of the seriously injured wounded to enter the Pink Star to recuperate after charging a certain fee, and instructed the Pink Star military to handle the matter. So the military selected more than a dozen remote mountainous areas on the pink star, and jointly funded the establishment of more than a dozen sanatoriums for the wounded in the lower realm with local grassroots organizations to recuperate for the wounded in the lower realm, during which the military provided the cost of maintaining operations. Rongyang Village is one of these sanatoriums.
Later, as the war in the Nether slowly entered a stalemate and the number of wounded gradually decreased, most of the nursing homes for the wounded stopped accepting new wounded, and as the old wounded returned from their injuries, the nursing homes began to vacate. Because there was no cost replenishment for the newly wounded in the Nether, the military also stopped funding for the maintenance of the sanatorium. As a result, some of these sanatoriums slowly broke away from the military background and were transformed into ordinary villages, and Rongyang Village was separated earlier due to its remote location.
This is also the origin of the name of Yeongyang Village. I heard that there are still a few old people in the village who were once wounded in the Nether Realm who participated in the first anti-monster war, and they lost their combat effectiveness because of their injuries, so they did not return to Blue Star. Years later, they applied to the Citizenship Council to stay on Pink Star, and after years of negotiations, the Citizens' Council finally agreed to their application, and they eventually became Pink Star Citizens.
The population of the village is now small, only about 100 people. In addition to the above-mentioned old people, most of them are nearby farmers who grow pink rice, some of them are domestic servants dependent on citizens, and some are serfs. There are also a small number of tenants from outside, some who are greedy for the beautiful environment to maintain their health, and some are students like Xiaobu or merchants who come to do some small business.
When Xinghui arrived at Rongyang Village, he found that the village was quiet, and he did not meet a single pedestrian along the way. It seems that the farmers are still working in the fields while the sky is still dark, while the small merchants have gone to the city or to other villages.
Because it was once planned as a military sanatorium, the layout of the houses in the village was very organized, and Starlight quickly found a place to live without much difficulty. But instead of stepping forward, he made some observations from a distance. Because the killer has been proven to be a murderer with a deadly talisman, he will not take any suspect lightly. This is one of the life-saving experiences he has learned from his years of working in the Nether.
Now the sun has just set the horizon, but the blue star has not completely set, and under the reflection of some of the blue stars, the sky is bright. He saw that the door of the suspect's residence was open, and there seemed to be a trembling sound from inside. Xingguang held his breath, sneaked to the door, stood against the wall, with two police talismans in his left hand, a shield talisman and a sword talisman in his right hand, he listened to the movement in the house, and estimated that there was a person in the house, but he still deducted an extra talisman, and it was always right to be safe.
With the sound of hurried footsteps, a man came out of the gate, carrying a large backpack on his back, and went out without closing the door, obviously in a hurry to leave. Starlight moved and activated a forbidden talisman. After this person was hit by the confinement charm, his body could not move for a while, but his mouth could still move, and he could only hear him shout loudly: "Who casts the confinement technique, I am an official of the Aviation Bureau, and I am a citizen with full powers, so I can be exempt from official detention measures." ”
While this person shouted, Xinghui also saw the person's appearance clearly, and immediately knew that he had recognized the wrong person, and this person was definitely not a man. But he didn't untie the other party because of this, because the other party came out of someone else's house with a big bag on his back, at least suspected of major theft. He ignored the shouts of the other party, but turned and went into Bu Zongheng's quarters.
The layout of the house is very simple, there is no furniture, only a cabinet in the corner of the house, the door is open, there are a few clothes in it, there are two straw mats on the ground, it seems to be for sleeping, there is no high-level magic equipment in the house, it is completely in line with the identity of a poor student. He stepped forward to the cabinet and looked, there were a few clothes hanging on the upper crossbar, and a few thick clothes were messily placed in the lower part, which should be a few winter clothes, which looked like they had just been turned over. He went to the straw mat in the middle of the house again and touched it, but there was no temperature. At present, he can't tell whether Bu Zongheng has run away.
"Let go of me! I'm an official of the Citizens' Council, and if you don't let me go, I'll go to your department and complain to you! There was a shouting outside the door. Starlight ignored the shouting outside the door and continued to search the house for clues. He went to the straw mat under the window to check, and found that the list on the straw mat had some faint blood marks, and when he touched it, the blood marks were not yet dry. He looked around the room, saw nothing missing, and stepped out with a sheet.
His left foot had just stretched out of the door, and before he could see the situation outside the door, he felt a trace of aura fluctuations outside from his dark domain. Starlight has been wandering in the Nether for many years, and has been plotted against many people, and has already practiced conditioned reflexes, and without even thinking about it, he activated the defensive shield talisman in his hand, and at the same time, his left foot was a little on the ground outside the door, and his body retreated. I saw a burst of aura in front of him, obviously the runes of the two talismans met and interfered with each other. With the burst of light, Starlight recognized the spell emitted by the other party, which was also a kind of confinement technique.
After retreating into the house, Xingguang clasped the sword talisman in his hand and shouted: "I am an investigator of the Anlan area, and I have jurisdiction over this place, who is outside who dares to use the technique of restraint in my jurisdiction without reporting?" ”
The people outside obviously didn't expect this kind of result, Xing Guang waited for a while, and then heard the people outside laugh a few times and said: "It turned out to be someone from the police, it seems that it was a misunderstanding, and I am a person from the Military Secret Technology Protection and Defense Bureau." I'm sorry, please come out. ”
Starlight cautiously opened the shield charm and walked out of the door. I saw that the person who claimed to be the aviation bureau was still standing outside the door and did not move, obviously still in a state of confinement. Beside him stood a man in military uniform, bald, thin-faced, straight, and with a strong air.
