"Village Chief, that strange beast is dead. You don't have to worry anymore." Liu Jialin responded with a smile.
When the old village chief got the exact answer, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, and other villagers around him cheered happily.
"Captain." Zhang Xiao came to the scene, glanced at the motionless beast lying in the distance, and shouted to Liu Jialin.
"It's done, there are no casualties." Liu Jialin said.
"Huh..." Zhang Xiao let out a sigh of relief after hearing this. She had run all the way here just now and was very worried about the danger to the villagers.
"Miss Investigator, what should we do with this strange beast next?" a villager asked.
Liu Jialin said, "I will arrange for someone to take it away later."
The villager said "Oh" in disappointment. He originally thought that the strange beast was dead. Yes, there is no danger, you can stay.
When the time comes, everyone will deal with it and distribute some exotic animal meat to each household.
Liu Jialin also guessed what the other party was thinking, so she added another sentence.
"This strange beast suddenly appeared in your village. We will conduct a detailed investigation later, so we must take it away."
Zhang Xiao came to the dead strange beast and observed the dead beast up close. A strange beast with signs of life.
After being killed, the effect of the supernatural power disappears and the beast returns to its original size.
But even if it changes back to its original appearance, it is still very big.
"It looks very young, not very old." Zhang Xiao looked at the strange beast and analyzed it.
Suddenly, she found a wound near the beast's neck.
“Huh?”
Zhang Xiao quickly came closer and carefully observed the wound, and then his face suddenly became very serious.
"Captain."
Liu Jialin was explaining to the villagers why the wild boars and strange beasts had to be taken away and not left with them.
Suddenly, he heard Zhang Xiao calling him, and then turned his head to look.
“Come here for a moment.” Zhang Xiao said with a serious face.
Liu Jialin came to Zhang Xiao and heard the other person whisper, "There is an artificial wound on the neck of this wild boar."
"Let me take a look."
“Here.”
Liu Jialin stepped forward and looked at the position pointed by Zhang Xiao's finger.
There was a nearly ten centimeter wound on the neck of the wild boar, which was sutured by artificial surgery.
“There’s something wrong with this strange beast.” The moment Liu Jialin saw the wound clearly, her expression became as serious as Zhang Xiao’s.
“Call the bureau.”
“Yes.” Zhang Xiao nodded and immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket to make a call.
The old village chief and his entourage were all curious when they saw the relaxed expressions of the two investigators disappear and they looked serious.
"Miss Investigator, what happened?" a villager asked.
"It's nothing." Liu Jialin showed a slight smile on her face.
Seeing this, the villagers stopped asking, because since the investigator was unwilling to talk, it would be impolite to explore the matter further.
While Liu Jialin and Zhang Xiao were waiting for their colleagues to arrive, the old village chief invited them to sit at home and take a rest.
However, there was something unusual about the wild boar. The two of them had to keep an eye on it, so they rejected the old village chief's warm invitation.
Since the two investigators wanted to stay where they were and look at the dead beasts, the old village chief thought about it and arranged for the young people in the village to bring some food here.
After a while, Liu Jialin and Zhang Xiao saw someone bringing tables and chairs, as well as a lot of fruits and pastries.
"This..."
"Village Chief, you don't have to do this."
The old village chief responded with a smile, "We grew these fruits ourselves, and we also made the pastries ourselves. We didn't have much money.
You have helped us so much, and I hope you can do this with your heart. Don’t refuse, sit down and have a taste...”
It’s hard to refuse hospitality.
Zhang Xiao saw Liu Jialin nodded, then sat down and tasted the fruits and pastries.
…………
As time passed, the sun hanging high in the sky moved slowly, and unknowingly, it came directly above everyone's heads.
The bright sunshine was shining on the earth. In a room in the Superpower Management Bureau, Liu Jialin and Zhang Xiao watched their colleagues dissect wild boars and exotic animals.
The dissector was very skilled in his technique. He cut open the sutured wound on the neck of the alien beast in three strokes.
Under the watchful eyes of Liu Jialin and Zhang Xiao, the dissector used tweezers to remove a small chip from the flesh and blood of the alien animal.
“I didn’t expect that there was a chip hidden in the wound.” Zhang Xiao murmured.
"Sure enough, there is something strange. It seems that our previous guess was wrong." Liu Jialin said seriously.
"There is a high probability that this strange beast was brought into the safe zone artificially." The dissector put the chip on the plate.
Zhang Xiao didn't understand, "Why do you do this? What's the point?"
The dissector said, "I don't know, I don't have good intentions anyway."
"..." Liu Jialin looked at the chips on the plate, thought for more than ten seconds, then turned and left.
"If there are any new developments in this matter, remember to inform me." Zhang Xiao said to the dissector immediately when he saw Liu Jialin leaving.
"Okay." The dissector smiled and nodded.
Zhang Xiao left the room and quickly followed Liu Jialin who left first.
The two returned to the office, sat down on the chairs, picked up the water glasses on the table and drank.
I have been running around here and there for a long time this morning. Time flies so fast. It will be time for lunch soon.
"Captain, that alien beast was implanted with a chip. Since it was man-made, will something like this happen again in the future?" After Zhang Xiao drank the water, he put down the water glass and turned to look at Liu Jialin.
“I think it will definitely happen again.” Liu Jialin judged.
"If that's the case, it would be a bit troublesome." Zhang Xiao said with a frown.
“I hope that the person behind the scenes can be found through that chip, so that this trouble can be solved as soon as possible.” Liu Jialin said.
While the two people were chatting about the chip found on the alien beast, someone was also talking about it in the basement of a building near the University Town in Rongcheng West District.
"The chip we placed on the wild boar, the feedback information shows that its current location is at the Superpower Management Bureau." The man wearing black-rimmed glasses said.
"Discovered so soon?" The middle-aged man in a white coat said in surprise.
"Yes, I originally thought it would take a few days before he would be discovered, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." The man with glasses said.
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, glanced at the experimental equipment around him, and his eyes fell on the bottles containing green liquid. He was silent for half a minute, and then spoke. "It will take some time for my experiment to be successful. Now the investigators should start investigating this matter. You have to find a way to delay it for me..."
The man with glasses smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. I won't let the investigators trace this. You can just do the experiment with peace of mind."
The middle-aged man nodded, then reached out and took one from the shelf. Hand the bottle containing the green liquid to the other party.
"This is the latest awakening liquid. Find an ordinary wild boar and inject the awakening liquid into its body."
The man with glasses took the bottle and looked at the other person asked.
“Must be a wild boar?”
The middle-aged man explained, "The current version of the awakening liquid makes it easier for wild boars to awaken into strange beasts. I now need to collect a lot of experimental data before I can develop the next version."
"Okay, I'm going to find the wild boar now." The bespectacled man nodded and put the bottle containing the awakening fluid into a black backpack.
Not long after, the man with glasses left, and the middle-aged man was the only one left in the basement, and a burst of muttering could be heard.
"The experiment has been going very smoothly recently. The next version of the awakening liquid will definitely have better effects... When I succeed, no one will be able to challenge my position in the organization."< br>
…………
In the vast spiritual world, the huge sun hangs high in the sky.
Towards noon, a large cloud came from a distance, covering the sun and preventing the entire Dongwu City from being exposed to direct sunlight.
Lin Li came out of the house and looked up at the sky. At this time, Qin Muqing, who was graceful and ordinary in appearance, also came out of the house and closed the big iron door.
"I feel like it's going to rain. Do you want to put away the clothes hanging in the yard?" Lin Li looked away from the distance and asked Qin Muqing.
"It's okay, it won't take long to get back from dinner, even if it rains." Qin Muqing said with a smile.
"That's true." Lin Li nodded, and then he led Qin Muqing away.
Because most people in this area live in single-family villas, it is difficult to wait for an empty carriage in front of your home.
Lin Li and Qin Muqing walked farther away, leaving the quiet neighborhood. They turned a corner at the end of the street and walked for a few more minutes before arriving at a street with many carriages.
“Drive.”
The coachman shook the reins, and the carriage ran quickly on the road, making a series of noises.
There are cars coming and going on the street. If you don't pay attention to the road conditions when crossing the road, you can easily be hit by a fast-running carriage.
Lin Li and Qin Muqing stood on the side of the road, waited for a while, and finally saw an empty carriage, and immediately waved to each other to stop.
"Xu..."
When the carriage came to the front, the slightly tanned driver raised his hand to straighten his straw hat and asked.
“Do you two gentlemen want to take a taxi?”
"Yes, we are going..." Lin Li told the other party where he wanted to go, negotiated the price and got in the car.
"We are about to set off, please sit tight." The coachman reminded the passengers before setting off, and then he controlled the carriage to quickly go to the destination.
The carriage was very quiet. Qin Muqing looked at the street scene outside the window without saying anything, as if in a daze.
"Did you go shopping outside while I was away from home?" Lin Li asked casually.
“No!” Qin Muqing shook her head. She was worried about being found by her family, so she stayed at home except when she had to buy groceries.
"Aren't you bored staying at home alone?" Lin Li asked.
“It will feel a little boring at first, but once you get used to it, you won’t feel anything.” Qin Muqing said with a smile.
The two people were chatting, and after a while, the carriage stopped.
"You two gentlemen, we have arrived." The coachman stopped the carriage and reminded the passengers.
Lin Li and Qin Muqing got off the bus. After paying the fare, they immediately walked across the street.
The place for lunch was not very far from home. Lin Li had passed by this restaurant many times before but never had the chance to eat. Today he decided to eat out and chose here.
As soon as I walked into the restaurant, I saw many tables in the lobby filled with customers.
The noisy sound rushed towards us, and the tables on the first floor were almost full. With so many guests, it seemed that the chefs in this restaurant were not bad at their craftsmanship.
"Welcome." A young waiter came to the two people and greeted them warmly.
Lin Li told the other party what he wanted, and then the waiter in the shop led the two people upstairs very skillfully.
There are five floors in the restaurant. Lin Li and Qin Muqing followed the waiter to the top floor.
"Sir, the view of this box is very broad and should meet your requirements. Are you satisfied with it? If not, I will change the box for you..."
The waiter pushed away A private room door, introduced a few words, and then waited for Lin Li to make a decision.
"Not bad." Lin Li stood at the window and looked outside. He could see the street scene in a large area around him.
“What do you think?”
Qin Muqing nodded and said, "This box is a bit big. Wouldn't it be too wasteful for just the two of us?"
When he was not running away from home, Qin Muqing dined in some large restaurants in the imperial capital. The area of the box was comparable to this one now It's much bigger and very luxurious.
It’s just that today is different from the past. Qin Muqing, who has experienced hard times, has undergone tremendous changes in her consumption concepts.
Lin Li smiled, and then said to the waiter, "This is the private room. It's my first time to dine in your restaurant, and I don't know what's delicious. Please serve me all the signature dishes of your restaurant." Once again.”
The waiter’s eyes suddenly lit up after hearing what Lin Li said.
This is the first time he has encountered such a large and generous customer this month.
If you can develop the other party into a regular customer, the shopkeeper will be rewarded.
The waiter introduced some of the signature dishes in the store to Lin Li more enthusiastically, "Sir, there are too many signature dishes in our store. If we serve them all at once, we won't be able to fit them all on one table."
"Then serve one part first, and when you're done eating, I'll let you serve the other part." Lin Li said with a smile.
"Um..." The waiter wanted to say that there were so many dishes that he couldn't finish them all, but he was afraid that saying so would disappoint the generous guests.
So he hesitated a few times, nodded, and went to the kitchen to serve Lin Li and Qin Muqing.
After the waiter left, the box became quieter.
Qin Muqing came to the window and looked outside. There were many vehicles and pedestrians on the street, and there were traffic jams at some intersections.
"Come and have some tea." Lin Li picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea.
After hearing this, Qin Muqing immediately returned to the table and sat down. There was not only free tea on the table, but also some free melon seeds and pastries.
I glanced at the menu just now. It's not cheap to eat here. There are a few particularly expensive dishes, one of which is worth her month's salary.
Because he and Lin Li had eaten out before, Qin Muqing did not persuade Lin Li to order less expensive dishes like last time.
"Da, da, da..."
Suddenly there was a crisp sound of horse hooves outside, which caught Lin Li's attention. He got up and went to the window, and saw a team of people appearing on the road. cavalry.
