Huo Chen brought Chi Jiao to the cafe.
Chi Jiao didn't drink coffee. She didn't like anything bitter, so she ordered a cup of freshly squeezed strawberry juice.
The strawberry juice was a little sour. She took a sip and her face scrunched up.
Huo Chen looked at her expression and found it very cute. He couldn't help but smile and say, "If this doesn't taste good, try something else."
Chi Jiao shook her head. There was no need. She wasn't here to taste the drinks.
"Officer Huo, is there any progress on the Forbidden Island?" Chi Jiao asked.
"We'll talk about the Forbidden Island later. I want to tell you about the murderer who attacked you and Quan Jue now," Huo Chen said slowly.
Chi Jiao sat up slightly and looked at him with her big black eyes. "Have you found the murderer?"
Huo Chen shook his head. "It's very difficult for us ordinary police officers to investigate an Esper's crime because we don't have professional personnel and tools. Therefore, this matter has been handed over to the 117 Special Intelligence Team. Oh, right, the 117 Special Intelligence Team is a ZF organization that specializes in managing Espers. "
Chi Jiao nodded.
She knew that the 117 Special Intelligence Team was a ZF organization. All Espers had to take the initiative to register their identity information with the 117 Special Intelligence Team.
However, she had never registered because her special ability and physique were special. Her god grandmother was worried that she would encounter unimaginable trouble if she was exposed.
"Yesterday, you attended your classmate Xu Ye's birthday party, right?" Huo Chen asked.
"Yes. Was the attack on Xu Ye also caused by an Esper?" Chi Jiao asked him in return.
Huo Chen took out his phone and showed Chi Jiao a video.
"Take a look at this video first."
Chi Jiao took the phone and looked at it seriously.
The video showed Xu Ye's house. It was the scene of him falling down the second floor.
The video clearly showed that it was a hand made of black smoke that pulled Xu Ye down.
"The Esper was at the birthday party," Huo Chen said slowly as he looked at her. "Its target isn't just you and Quan Jue. It's also Xu Ye. Have the three of you offended anyone in school? "
Chi Jiao thought for a moment and shook her head decisively. "I don't know about Xu Ye, but Brother Quan and I have never offended anyone together. Brother Quan is in his third year of high school. The people who came to the birthday party yesterday were all students from our class. Other than me and Xu Ye, no one else has interacted with Brother Quan. "
Hearing this, Huo Chen fell silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.
After about a minute, he looked up at Chi Jiao and said, "Recently, the two cases of Espers hurting people aren't the only ones around you. However, this is the first time a high-level Esper like Black Shadow has appeared in the past ten years. Therefore, in order to ensure your and Quan Jue's safety, the police have applied for a protection order from the 117 Special Intelligence Organization. They will send people to protect you. They should be in place by tomorrow. "
Chi Jiao originally wanted to say that she didn't need protection, but she had no reason to.
Her current identity was just an ordinary high school student, so she had to act like one.
"Thank you," Chi Jiao said with a smile.
"This is what we should do." Huo Chen felt that the young lady in front of him was really well-mannered and had a good temperament.
Sometimes, he wondered if there was an adult's soul in her body.
