64. Countermeasures
Hearing the unfamiliar but longing name "Li Qinglian", Nance subconsciously touched his neck.
It was smooth and there was no collar, but he still felt an invisible restraint from time to time...... It doesn't make him uncomfortable, but it's like the grit that slipped into the shoe at some point, and occasionally snapped at him.
After watching the morning news broadcast of the vicious murder of the Liberty Club in silence, Nance sat on the couch and collected his thoughts.
Outside the window, it was overcast, and he looked like he was before the snowstorm, and Tokizaki was by his side without saying a word.
"Is it really her?" Nance asked the adjutant.
Shi Qi nodded and said affirmatively: "Judging from the modus operandi and the identity of the victim, she is the biggest suspect." β
"Since escaping from Lesson 9, there has been no news of her, and now she has committed such a big case as soon as she floats her head......" Nance fingertips touched her neck, "It seems that she wanted to kill me so much at that time, because she felt that I was blocking her revenge." β
"Chief, it's time for us to act." Tokizaki reminded.
Miss Adjutant was a little anxious.
Dealing with demonic crimes should have been the work of the ninth lesson, but now the "Special Search Team 4" established in Shin-Yokohama has taken up this job and is still making nonsense in front of various media to slander the ninth lesson. This made Miss Adjutant hold her breath all the time, and she had already competed with that Superintendent Irene.
Nance nodded, "It's time to act." β
If it was another demon, he could endure it for a while, but Li Qinglian couldn't. She wears a collar around her neck that can absorb her own essence and blood, and if she falls into the hands of the enemy, won't she be maliciously squeezed dry?
How to deal with Li Qinglian can be said later, but people must control it in their own hands to feel at ease.
"Susa!" Nance shouted into the room.
Miss Su rolled out of bed and came out with an owl on her head: "What's the matter?" β
As soon as Doraa Coo saw Shikisaki, she flapped her wings and flew into her arms, and Miss Shizaki gently combed its feathers, and her eyes unceremoniously glanced at the disheveled maid - revealing clothes, watery face.
Tut!
Miss Adjutant despised her.
What a shame this woman is!
"How much do you know about Li Qinglian?" Nance asked.
"That guy, mysterious, I don't know what she's thinking." Susa said with a grin, sitting down opposite Shi Qi with her legs crossed, "When she first came in, she entrusted me to go out and send a sum of money to her sister, and the two of us said this once." β
"Her sister?"
"yes, hmm...... It's like Li Qingxian, a pink-haired beautiful girl, studying at St. George's Middle School. β
Shi Qi recalled the next file in his mind, and added next to him: "This year is fifteen years old, she should be a first year of high school, and we had better protect her from being retaliated against by the Inagawa Society." β
"It's the weekend and students don't have classes."
"You can go to her teacher and ask for a home address by the way."
Nance nodded: "It's best to get the address." β
"Also, Li Qinglian's whereabouts also need to be investigated." Shi Qi's expression was serious, his voice was calm, and he seemed to switch to work mode, "Section Chief, we have to hurry up and find people before the Special Search Four and Inagawa Meeting." The best way now is to divide the soldiers into two ways, and one team will go to the shops around the crime scene to check last night's surveillance and track Li Qinglian's whereabouts. The other team went to contact and secretly protect Li Qinglian's family, preparing for her to suddenly return home. β
Nance thought for a moment.
On the information given by Li Qinglian in the previous system, it was clearly stated that "sister" was the person she cared about the most. Thinking of this point, he stood up and said, "I'll go to St. George's High School, and you will go to Flower Street." β
Susa lazily stood up, intending to go back to the house to sleep.
After being squeezed by Nance for so long, she can finally rest today, and she doesn't want to continue to work hard for him.
"No, section leader, you're going to the monastery!" Shi Qi stood up suddenly, and said to Nansi with a serious face: "Miss Su and I will go to handle the case, one person and one direction!" β
"Me?"
Susa turned her head and looked at her with a look of displeasure.
"Yes, you go to the school to find a teacher!" Shi Qi said unrefusingly, "The magic element in the section leader's body has been very active recently, and his strength has grown rapidly. But the greater the mental pollution he suffers, ensuring that he will not lose his mind is his top priority now. β
Nance pondered silently.
The adjutant's concern was justified by the adjutant, after all, she didn't know that the section chief had changed people. Knowing what kind of person Nance was before, she was very reluctant to change back to the old one, and she liked to work with the current section leader.
Nance didn't object to her proposal because he had a problem in mind.
This trip to school, there is a high probability that there will be no clues about Li Qingxian.
Li Qinglian had already killed the people of the Inagawa Society a year and a half ago, and it had been more than a year since he was arrested. If she really cares about her sister, then she will definitely not put her sister in a dangerous situation where she will be retaliated against by the Inagawa Society. This time, she had just escaped from the ninth lesson for more than half a month, and she had once again killed Inagawa, and she didn't seem to care at all about Inagawa's revenge on her sister.
Nance has two guesses about this.
One: Her sister and parents are in hiding.
Two: Her sister has the ability to protect herself.
Whichever conjecture is correct, it won't be so easy to find her family.
Of course, the possibility that Li Qinglian is a woman with a hot brain cannot be completely ruled out, and Nance wonders in his heart which possibility is higher in order to take the next step.
Seeing his boss frowning and thinking silently, Shi Qi clenched his small fists and leaned in front of him with his toes slightly cushioned, his eyes were unprecedentedly serious: "You are the head of the ninth lesson, and your own existence is the most important thing!" I won't be so stubborn about other things, but in this matter, please take my advice! β
Nance looked into her eyes.
In the depths of those turquoise eyes, there was a flickering light, so warm that it seemed to peel off a person's heart layer by layer like an onion.
"Goo!"
Doraa cooed a coquettish in the adjutant's arms.
After staring at those beautiful eyes for a long time, Nance compromised, "Listen to you." However, you should remember to keep the communication open and report the danger as soon as possible. β
Not only did he respect the adjutant's opinion, but he also believed that he should continue to do things according to his predetermined plan, and not be distracted by sudden events - what he had to do today was to continue to find a balance between the two nuns and eat both ends.
After receiving a positive reply from his boss, Shi Qi's face bloomed with a smile, and he said in a relieved tone like a mother after persuading a child who went out to play to go home and do his homework: "You can go with confidence, just leave the case to me and Miss Su." β
"Hey, can you ask my opinion!" Miss Su interjected unhappily, "Today is my sister's day off, don't expect me to go out!" β
Shi Qi looked back at her, pointed to the wall calendar on the wall, and said expressionlessly: "The ninth lesson pays salaries on the 5th of every month, Secretary Su, if you don't want your salary to be stopped because of disobedience to your boss, then please obediently carry out the order!" β
At this time, the adjutant was dressed in a heroic women's officer uniform and stepped on a pair of black boots with stiletto heels.
Her blonde hair was tied up in a bun and hidden under her hat, she wore a pair of thin gold-rimmed glasses, and her beautiful face was a mess, coupled with her cold and indifferent expression, her aura was particularly strong.
Miss Su, who has rich social experience, felt an invisible oppressive force, shrunk her neck, and reluctantly went back to Nance's room to change clothes. As he walked, he muttered angrily: "Just go, why are you so fierce...... And threatened me with money, this woman is really a god to disgrace! β
"If you can find Li Qingxian, remember to bring her back as soon as possible!" Nance reminded her.
"Got itβ"
Miss Su's tail note dragged on for a long time.
