"Really," Xiao Zhengyi looked at Xu Shenxing who was lying on the table, and sighed: "This guy always falls asleep suddenly like this, can't he wake up?"
"This is the first time."
Qin Xingyan on the side looked worried: "I don't know when senior will wake up."
"That's really troublesome." Xiao Zhengyi's shoulders became even more slumped, and he looked very depressed.
"Are you in any trouble?" Qin Xingyan asked.
"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually very busy. The big case before made the police station into a mess. Originally, I took the time to come here just to ask about this guy's situation." Xiao Zhengyi said distressedly Complained: "What should I do if this continues..."
"Mr. Xiao, haven't you already guessed? Whether it's a curse or a deal with the devil, the pocket watch of the senior should be used by the other party to determine the 'coordinates' of the subject. After all, it was a personal thing of the senior. , the pocket watch should also be stained with the breath of seniors."
Qin Xingyan said.
"Did you hear it all?"
Xiao Zhengyi showed a stunned expression.
When he and Xu Shenxing were talking about the prisoners and the pocket watch before, Qin Xingyan should have been on the other side of the living room with Jasmine.
"Because of a little unexpected situation before, I have a stronger perception ability than before, and hearing as a part of perception has naturally been strengthened..."
The girl smiled apologetically, but she didn't intend to let Xiao Zhengyi brush off the topic like that, and still stared straight at the other party, making the latter feel terrified.
Although protected by the Yuan Rong Sword, Xiao Zhengyi is just a mortal after all, and being stared at by Qin Xingyan, who is almost like a celestial being, will naturally feel a sense of dread in his heart.
This is the same as how ordinary people feel afraid of natural disasters such as tornadoes even without relevant knowledge. It comes from the most basic biological instincts that are engraved in the genetic chain.
"Okay, okay, I confess."
So Xiao Zhengyi, who is very knowledgeable about current affairs, immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and replied with a wry smile: "Actually, it's not something that can't be said in the open. I came here besides sending materials to Lao Xu. There is another task from the head of the bureau, which is to at least know what is the thing that turns those guys who were originally just migrant workers into monsters with infinite strength. Judging from all the clues so far, probably Only Old Xu can solve this problem, right?"
Qin Xingyan thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head: "I think you actually have another direction of investigation."
"what?"
Xiao Zhengyi was taken aback.
"Aren't the weapons held by those people all hot weapons like firearms?" Qin Xingyan continued to remind: "Since it is possible to strengthen the body through magic or curses, there is no reason why they can't be strengthened by the way. Regardless of whether it is the East or the West, the difficulty of refining spirits on inanimate objects—that is, strengthening enchantments in the West—is much lower than doing the same thing on living creatures.”
"So you suspect that the one who provided weapons to the other party was not giving them a strengthened existence, but another group of people?" Xiao Zhengyi showed a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Well, I think so." Qin Xingyan nodded: "Even taking hostages and robbing banks may be just the other party's arbitrary behavior."
"Things got complicated all of a sudden."
The wrinkles on Xiao Zhengyi's face became more, and he looked like a pain in the ass.
Although neither of them had any clues, the person who was able to obtain such a large batch of weapons in the celestial dynasty that banned guns was either directly pulled from the official armory, or colluded with some foreign forces.
To be honest, no matter which aspect it is, the problem is very big.
Even Xiao Zhengyi, an irrelevant person who had little to do with the specific circumstances of this case (he mainly investigated some supernatural situations in the case, and the case itself was not managed by the Supervision Office) began to feel a stomachache.
"Actually, being a little more complicated is not completely useless. The more complicated a plot is, the more aspects need to be taken care of; just like a ball of yarn, the more complicated it is, the more threads will be wound, and the thread ends that may be exposed are also more complicated." The more you have, and the more threads you have, the more likely you are to be able to unravel this ball of yarn, isn't it?"
Qin Xingyan said very leisurely.
"Having said that..."
Xiao Zhengyi sighed again, this time he got off the sofa and stood up, and put the hat on his head on his head: "Forget it, anyway, I'll go back to the super management first, when Lao Xu wakes up, Just call me."
If Xu Shenxing can't wake up, staying in Ying's apartment is not an option; moreover, what Qin Xingyan said made Xiao Zhengyi vaguely think of something, but the specific content needs to be discussed with Xu Feng, the head of the bureau, after going back.
With this in mind, he left Sakura's apartment with ease after speaking.
"Huh? Has Xiao Sang left already?"
Until this time, Sakurakoji Asahi came out of the kitchen and said in surprise, holding a plate piled with bacon, fried eggs and wieners.
Immediately afterwards, she looked at Xu Shenxing who was still lying on the table—by the way, those spirit ghosts seemed to have the consciousness of causing trouble, and now they have all run away. Caught by a group of guys who have no material structure: Jasmine may be able to, but obviously the little guy's mind is not on this kind of thing right now.
"Is there no sign that Mr. Landlord is about to wake up?"
"As you can see... If it wasn't for the fact that senior's ability to evade all detection methods is still in effect, I would have thought him..." Qin Xingyan scratched her face embarrassingly: "I almost shot those spirit ghosts just now. Killed too."
"Kill?!"
Sakurakoji Asahi showed a startled expression.
At this moment, she suddenly felt as if someone had pulled the corner of her clothes. Sakura Koji Asahi, who was already a bit frightened, was naturally taken aback, but she soon discovered that it was Jasmine who pulled her.
"Miss Jasmine, what's wrong?" So she squatted down and asked Jasmine.
"Porridge." Jasmine replied word by word.
"By the way! Jasmine, do you know what happened to senior?" Qin Xingyan asked hastily, remembering that Xu Shenxing and Jasmine were different bodies in a certain sense.
"...a little thing." Jasmine hesitated for a moment to answer, and then said to Yingkoji Asahi, "Teach me how to cook porridge."
"Miss Jasmine, if you want porridge, can I help you cook some more?" Sakura Koji Asahi expressed his confusion.
"The landlord may not wake up until very late this time, so to speak." Jasmine tilted her head and said cutely, "So, I want to cook porridge for him myself."
"No problem at all!"
Sakurakoji Asahi, who was almost turned from a rotten girl into a lily by Jasmine's cute expression, hurriedly replied.
Then the two went into the kitchen together, leaving only Qin Xingyan wryly smiling to take care of Xu Shenxing who was sleeping soundly.
