Chapter 97: Substitution
Under Xiao Qi’s treatment, the treasure hunter mouse’s eyes and broken tail are slowly growing out.
After all the large and small wounds on the treasure hunter's body were treated, Xiao Qi was panting from exhaustion.
Lin Manman quickly took out a meal replacement ball that Xiaoqi usually eats and stuffed it into its little paw.
Xiao Qi happily rubbed the meatballs, opening her little mouth hidden in the fur to devour it.
"Are you actually awake? I'm not that bad person, I won't hurt you, otherwise I wouldn't let my spiritual pet heal your injuries."
After Xiao Qi finished treating the treasure hunter rat, the treasure hunter rat's beard and ears moved slightly. Perhaps because of long-term abuse, even if Lin Manman said that he would not hurt it, it did not want to believe it and remained lying there motionless.
Seeing this, Lin Manman could only sigh with regret, "Well, it seems you are not willing to believe me, so I'd better hand you back to the police."
Unexpectedly, this sentence somehow stimulated the treasure-hunting mouse. The treasure-hunting mouse opened its small black eyes, anxiously grabbed the cage and squeaked at Lin Manman.
Lin Manman frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Qi who was chewing on the meal replacement balls, "What is it talking about?"
Xiaoqi tilted his head and looked back and forth between Lin Manman and the treasure hunter. After listening carefully for a while, his expression became a little nervous.
"嘤嘤, 嘤嘤嘤..."
After understanding what Xiao Qi meant, Lin Manman's pupils shrank slightly. The treasure hunter meant that the police cannot be trusted. Someone deliberately released this pervert...
Lin Manman tried to keep a calm face and walked with Treasure Hunter and Xiao Qi to the shade of a tree further away.
"Treasure Rat, can you tell us in detail what happened before?"
Away from the crowd, the treasure hunter gradually relaxed. It first took two steps back and bowed to Lin Manman, as if to thank her for saving him.
Then he told Xiaoqi what happened after he followed the treasure hunter.
After the treasure hunter followed the treasure hunter for the last time to kill people and seize the treasure, they happened to catch up with the garrison leaving the city for a mission, and were easily captured.
Originally such extremely dangerous treasure hunters could be killed on the spot as long as they were caught. When Treasure Hunter was still in the treasure hunting group, he had heard of many treasure hunters who were killed like this.
But for some unknown reason, the order they gave this time was to bring him back and hand him over to the imperial capital for trial before he could be publicly executed.
In this way, both the treasure hunter and the treasure hunter rat were sent to Jinling City. The treasure hunter and the treasure hunter rat were originally imprisoned separately. The treasure hunter rat also thought that he could escape the clutches of the treasure hunter.
But during the handover process, the treasure hunter was taken away and returned to the treasure hunter.
The man who took away the treasure hunter asked the treasure hunters to find and recover something very important.
"So have you found that thing?"
Lin Manman frowned. Who is looking for something important and would not hesitate to use such a dangerous treasure hunter?
"Zhizhi, squeak..."
"嘤嘤, 嘤嘤嘤..."
"That means you haven't found the target yet?"
No wonder he wasn't in a hurry to escape. It turned out that he had other purposes.
"Why are you still squatting here? Come on, you have to go to the bureau with us to make a record when you go back. Isn't your mother worried if you go back too late?"
When Lin Manman wanted to ask more questions about the treasure hunter, Yu Tian came over. The capture of the treasure hunter this time was mainly due to their Huaishui District, so the task of temporarily imprisoning the treasure hunter was also up to them. Bian is responsible.
Lin Manman glanced at the treasure hunter who lay down and pretended to be dead after Yu Tian approached. After thinking about it, she asked, "Sister Yu Tian, what will you do with this treasure hunting rat when you return?" Yu Tian glanced at the treasure hunting rat and found that its injuries had been cured. She couldn't help but smile, "Hunter." There are usually no living victims when a treasurer commits a crime, so his property should be auctioned and confiscated. What do you want to do with this treasure-hunting rat? "
"No, your contract space should be full, right?"
Lin Manman smiled coquettishly, "Sister Yu Tian, your thinking is too fast. I'm just a little worried about the outcome of this treasure hunter's next treatment."
Although it was true that she coveted the treasure hunter's talent, she did not dare to have anything to do with the treasure hunter until the treasure hunter was dealt with.
The treasure-hunting rat in the cage, which was pretending to be dead, moved its ears invisibly.
Yu Tian looked around and made sure there was no one nearby before whispering in Lin Manman's ear: "I heard from the boss and the others that there was something fishy about the treasure hunter's escape before. The central area is undergoing a self-examination. The person may be detained here temporarily, and then wait for the people who transfer the imperial capital to come and take over. "
"As for this treasure-hunting rat, whether it will be handed over together or left here for direct processing depends on the requirements of the other side."
Lin Manman, who had already heard some news from Treasure Hunter, moved his eyes slightly, "The person was handed over in the central area?"
In terms of time, the time between the treasure hunter being captured and his escape happened to be the time when Lin Manman was playing in the central area.
"Sister Yu Tian, why don't you kill such a dangerous treasure hunter directly outside the wall and bring him back into the city? Isn't this very dangerous?" Lin Manman asked seemingly unintentionally.
Yu Tian shrugged, "I don't understand either. Things outside the wall are generally under the jurisdiction of the garrison. Public security within the city is our business."
"This is the first time we have heard that a treasure hunter has to be transferred to the Imperial Capital for execution. Maybe when this guy committed the crime, he provoked some powerful force in the Imperial Capital."
Lin Manman nodded. What Yu Tian said was not unreasonable. If the treasure hunter hunted down the children of aristocratic families in the imperial capital, it would make sense.
"Then... after we go back, will this treasure-hunting rat be kept in the police station? Then if I'm fine, can I bring some food to see it?" Lin Manman was a little curious about the treasure-hunting rat and what the treasure hunter was looking for. , I don’t know what kind of treasure it will be...
Yu Tian glanced at her twice with an "I knew it" look.
"Well... the police station does not have a special place to take care of spirit beasts. They may have to temporarily foster them in a safe spirit animal store. But since you are so enthusiastic, I can suggest to the superiors that you can temporarily help take care of them for a few days. ”
Lin Manman saw that Yu Tian had misunderstood, so she couldn't explain more. If she could get alone with the treasure hunter, it would be convenient for her to ask more questions from the treasure hunter.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Yu Tian took her as her acquiescence, pulled her onto the backplane, and went to seek instructions from her superiors.
"Zhizhi..."
The treasure hunter noticed that Yu Tian had left, opened his eyes and screamed pitifully at Lin Manman.
"Hey..." It is very hungry and wants something to eat...
Xiao Qi translated for it with a look of sympathy in his small black eyes.
Lin Manman hurriedly took out the meal replacement balls and spiritual fruits that it could eat, not sure if they would suit its appetite.
Unexpectedly, the treasure hunter rat was not picky about food at all. It gnawed the meal replacement balls and spiritual fruits equally quickly. It looked as if it had been hungry for a long time, which made Lin Manman feel unbearable.
This group of treasure hunters just use treasure hunting rats as tools and don't take good care of them at all.
They are not beast masters, so they don't have to worry about the danger to them if the treasure hunting rats die. In addition, their boss will continue to breed treasure hunting rats. These treasure hunting rats are like expendable tools and are thrown away after use.
