"Seriously," Xiao Zhengyi looked at Xu Shenxing, who was lying on the table, and sighed deeply. "Does this guy always fall asleep so suddenly that he can't be woken up?"
"This is the first time."
Qin Xingyan looked a little worried. "I don't know when senior will wake up."
"That's really troublesome." Xiao Zhengyi's shoulders slumped even more, 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 previous big case made the police station a mess. I took the time to come here to ask about this guy. "Xiao Zhengyi complained in distress." What should I do if this continues … "
"Mr. Xiao, don't you already have some guesses? Whether it's a curse or a devil's deal, senior's pocket watch should be used by the other party to determine the target's' coordinates'. After all, as senior's personal belongings, the pocket watch should have been tainted with senior's aura. "
Qin Xingyan said.
"You heard everything?"
Xiao Zhengyi looked stunned.
When he and Xu Shenxing were talking about the prisoners and the pocket watch, Qin Xingyan and Mo Li should have been on the other side of the living room.
"Because of the unexpected situation, I have stronger senses than before. As a part of my senses, my hearing has also been strengthened …"
The girl smiled apologetically, but she did not intend to let Xiao Zhengyi brush off the topic. She continued to stare straight at him, making the latter's hair stand on end.
Although Xiao Zhengyi had the Yuan Rong Sword to protect him, he was still just an ordinary person. Being stared at by Qin Xingyan, who was almost like a celestial being, naturally made him feel a sense of fear.
This was the same as when ordinary people faced natural disasters such as tornadoes. Even if they did not have the relevant knowledge, they would still feel fear. It was the most basic instinctive reaction of living creatures, engraved in their genetic chain.
"Alright, alright, I'll be honest."
Therefore, Xiao Zhengyi, who was very sensible, immediately raised his hands in surrender and replied with a wry smile, "Actually, it's not something that can't be discussed openly. Other than delivering the information to Old Xu, I also received another mission from the bureau. At the very least, I need to know what the thing that turned those people who were originally just migrant workers into powerful monsters is. And judging from all the clues we have so far, Old Xu is probably the only one who can solve this problem, right? "
Qin Xingyan thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head. "I think you have another direction to investigate."
"What?"
Xiao Zhengyi was taken aback.
"Aren't the weapons that those people have all firearms?" Qin Xingyan continued, "Since you can strengthen your body through magic or curses, there's no reason why you can't strengthen your weapons as well. Regardless of whether it's the East or the West, the difficulty of spirit enhancement on inanimate objects is far lower than the difficulty of doing the same thing on living creatures. "
"So you suspect that the person who provided the weapons was not the existence that strengthened them, but another group of people?" Xiao Zhengyi had a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Yes, that's what I think." Qin Xingyan nodded. "Even the actions of taking hostages and robbing banks could be the actions of the other party."
"Things are getting complicated all of a sudden."
Xiao Zhengyi's face became more wrinkled, and he looked like he had a headache.
Although neither of them pointed out that the people who could obtain such a large number of weapons in the Celestial Empire where guns were banned were either directly recruited by the government or colluded with some foreign forces.
To be honest, no matter which aspect it was, the problem was very big.
Even Xiao Zhengyi, who had nothing to do with the specific details of the case (he was mainly investigating the supernatural circumstances of the case, and the case itself was not under the jurisdiction of the Super Administrative Office), began to feel his stomach ache.
"Actually, it's not completely useless to be a little more complicated. The more complicated a conspiracy is, the more aspects that need to be taken care of. Just like a ball of yarn, the more complicated it is, the more threads that need to be wound around it, and the more threads that may be exposed, the more likely it is that the ball of yarn will be unraveled, right? "
Qin Xingyan said very leisurely.
"Even so …"
Xiao Zhengyi sighed again. This time, he stood up from the sofa and put the hat on his head. "Forget it. Anyway, I'll go back to the Super Administrative Office first. When Old Xu wakes up, give me a call."
If Xu Shenxing did not wake up, it was not a good idea to continue staying in Sakura Apartments. Moreover, Qin Xingyan's words made Xiao Zhengyi vaguely think of something, but he had to go back and discuss the specific details with Xu Feng.
With this thought in mind, he left Sakura Apartment with ease after saying that.
"Eh? Xiao Sang has already left? "
Asahi Sakurakonji exclaimed in surprise as she walked out of the kitchen with a plate piled with bacon, fried eggs, and Vienna sausages.
Then, she looked at Xu Shenxing, who was still lying on the table. By the way, those spirit ghosts seemed to have realized that they had caused trouble and had already run away. It was likely that other than Xu Shenxing himself, no one else could catch those spirit ghosts who did not have any physical structure. Mo Li might be able to, but obviously, that little guy's mind was not on this matter at the moment.
"Mr. Landlord still shows no signs of waking up?"
"As you can see … If it weren't for Senpai's ability to evade all detection methods, I would have thought that he …" Qin Xingyan scratched his face embarrassedly. "Just now, he almost killed those spirit ghosts."
"Killed?!"
Asahi Sakurakonji showed a startled expression.
At this time, she suddenly felt as if someone was tugging at the corner of her clothes. Asahi Sakurakonji, who was already a little startled, was naturally startled, but she soon found out that it was Mo Li who was tugging at her.
"Miss Mo Li, what's wrong?" She squatted down and asked Mo Li.
"Porridge …" Mo Li replied word by word.
"Oh right! Mo Li, do you know what happened to Senpai? "Qin Xingyan, who remembered that Xu Shenxing and Mo Li were in some sense of the same mind, hurriedly asked.
"… Just a small matter," Mo Li answered after a moment of hesitation, and then said to Asahi Sakurakonji, "Teach me how to cook porridge."
"If Miss Mo Li wants to eat porridge, I can cook more for you?" Asahi Sakurakonji expressed her confusion.
"This time, Mr. Landlord might wake up very late," Mo Li tilted her head and said cutely, "So, I want to cook porridge for him myself."
"Of course, no problem!"
Asahi Sakurakonji, who was almost turned from a fujoshi to a lesbian by Mo Li's cute expression, hurriedly answered.
Then, the two went into the kitchen together, leaving Qin Xingyan, who was smiling bitterly, to take care of Xu Shenxing, who was fast asleep.
