Chapter 57: Hongquangou (2)

Du Zhengyi threw away the cigarette butt, turned around and walked back to the main hall of the temple quickly, Xiang Qian was talking nonsense to Zhou Ruisi, which was like lecturing, and several other battle mages did not make any efforts, and their boring eyes were about to straighten. At this moment, Du Zhengyi pulled away the mage who was in the way and strode in front of Zhou Ruisi. Zhou Ruisi was stunned for a moment, and looked up to see a male mage with a cold face, wearing a black windbreaker jacket, a white shirt, and a thin tie loosely tied at the neckline.

"Do you know me?" Du Zhengyi asked in a low voice.

Zhou Ruisi looked at him carefully again when he heard this, his hair was slightly unkempt, his face was narrow, his eye sockets were deep, the bridge of his nose was high, and his mandible was clearly defined. But even with his piercing eyes and serious gaze, you can smell a lazy indifference in him, which may have emanated from his messy hair, loose neckline, and a little uninhibited micro-expression on his face. He may be a little sharp, but not dangerous, and even a little recruiting.

He took this person, this face in his memory again, no, he certainly didn't know him.

"I don't know you." Zhou Ruisi said confusedly.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Du Zhengyi, and like them, I am a battle mage." Du Zhengyi said casually.

"Luck...... Luckily? Zhou Ruisi said tentatively.

"But unlike them, most of the time I'm in charge of arresting people, and I can make a report to bury you under the ground of Qionglin." Du Zhengyi said.

"For ...... Why? Zhou Ruisi didn't believe his words too much, looked at Du Zhengyi's serious eyes, and hurriedly added, "I'm here to enforce the law, we are colleagues, right?" Why did you arrest me? ”

"No why, my professional task is to review all mages, arrest the mages I suspect, and ensure the safety of the mage society." Du Zheng said expressionlessly, "I don't have the patience to talk nonsense with you, now answer my question, how long did it take you to record in this house when the incident happened?" ”

Zhou Ruisi's face was a little worried, "Three...... Three minutes? It can't be any longer, there's nothing to see here, no one. I didn't mean to split my arms from Aoyama. ”

"After Lu Qingshan went out of the back door, he climbed over the back wall, didn't you hear the sound? What are you doing so fascinating? ”

"Over the back wall?" Zhou Ruisi looked at Du Zhengyi in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

Du Zhengyi didn't answer him, but he saw an undoubted affirmation on Du Zhengyi's face, and he panicked all of a sudden. "I don't know, I'm not doing anything, I'm taking pictures with my phone, I'm ...... That's how I recorded it. ”

Xiang Qian couldn't help but say, "With a mobile phone? You're really good at saving trouble, aren't you a mage at all? ”

Zhou Ruisi glanced at her pitifully, "Yes, it's quite convenient." No, I mean, I didn't desert, I just took a picture with my phone, I didn't have headphones, if Aoyama went over the wall at that time, I would definitely hear it. And Qingshan won't go out by himself, he will definitely say hello to me, we are very law-abiding, and every action step is strictly in accordance with Qionglin's guidance...... Ouch! You...... What are you doing? ”

Du Zhengyi kicked him violently, skillfully kicked under his knee, he screamed in pain, almost knelt on the ground, looked at Du Zhengyi in horror, and overturned all his opinions.

"Look at what? First time you've met a battle mage, right? I'm not as civilized as Master Qionglin. Du Zhengyi became even more impatient, "Don't talk nonsense to me, I don't have a good temper like Master Xiang." Now I only have five hours left and things haven't made much progress, I'm not in a good mood, ask you what you say, don't talk so much nonsense. ”

Xiang Qian couldn't help but glance at him when he heard him say "five hours", and then thought that this might be a means of questioning.

Zhou Ruisi looked at Master Xiang pleadingly, the female mage didn't interfere with Du Zhengyi's action against him, he subconsciously went to look at the other battle mages, and they all had expressions of ignorance on their faces. This was the first time he felt the real pressure, he thought they were colleagues, and it was a big deal to count the superiors, so he just reprimanded him a few words. But now he figured out that he was a fool and that it was much worse than that.

Du Zhengyi spoke again, this time startling him. Lu Qingshan climbed over the wall and went out, stayed in the street outside the wall for a while, and then walked into the village, entered at least one courtyard, and bumped into a person who should not have been bumped into. The man twisted a large hole in his chest with a spiral serrated mouth, crushing his lungs......" Du Zhengyi stopped, and saw Zhou Ruisi's face distorted because he talked about the wound, and he looked like he was about to vomit. "It will take more than ten minutes for this series of events to happen at the earliest, not to mention that he was finally thrown back to the front yard of the temple, waiting for you to pick up the body. Magic also has to be reasonable, you tell me, what's the matter with the time difference of at least ten minutes? ”

Zhou Ruisi opened his mouth, his voice disappeared in his throat, and the blood on his face was emptied, "What...... What? ”

Du Zhengyi stared at him coldly, and after a while, he took out a cigarette and put it back in his mouth, frowned and took a puff of cigarette, and made a decision. "Carry him and let him come with us."

Behind him, a tall and strong battle mage stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Ruisi, and gave a rough order, "Start now, shut up, be obedient, don't drag us back." ”

Du Zhengyi turned around and walked out of the temple, and the mahjong at the gate of the courtyard was chatting leisurely with the three battle mages, and saw him come out and greeted, "It's the first time I've seen you bring so many people, what are you here to catch?" ”

Du Zhengyi didn't answer, and called a battle mage, "Go find the old man's association in their village." Ask them if there is a family surnamed Wang here, and there should be a little girl in their family. Also, if they have a grandmother in the family, the old woman should be a little mentally disturbed, and the little girl in their family may have had an accident recently, lost or ...... Hurry up and go. ”

Xiang Qian walked over and glanced at Du Zheng a few times, "It's just happening, isn't it?" ”

"Hmm." Du Zhengyi said, continuing to smoke, raising his head to look at the snow-capped mountains covered with glaciers in the distance, where the sky was also too blue. "It took so much effort to draw signs all the way to get me here. But since the mage is dead, he has already transcended ordinary personal grudges, what kind of person is it that makes so much effort for me to come? ”

Xiang Qian shook his head tiredly, "To be honest? I don't care who it is, as long as you are a battle mage for a day, you will find that everyone is this kind of person. It's not until you've done this job for a hundred years that you don't bother to know what their motives are, why they do it, what they want, you just want to crush them with a stick. ”
