When they arrived at the police station, Li Shenghua looked quite impressive in his officer uniform, and a squadron leader came out to meet them.
After Li Shenghua explained his purpose, Liu Qiang's case file was quickly delivered.
"Illegal possession of firearms?" Li Shenghua quickly flipped through the book and tilted his head to ask Lin Qingqing, "Does he have a gun?"
"Yes! If he hadn't had a gun, more people would have died along the way. So, is shooting zombies with a gun a crime?" Lin Qingqing's face was filled with confusion. She secretly clenched her fists. Liu Qiang was a cautious person and would never use a gun unless necessary. Someone must have informed on him.
"Of course he can use a gun to shoot zombies, but someone reported that he used a gun to threaten other people's lives on the road. Moreover, after arriving at the base, he did not hand in his guns and ammunition." The squadron leader explained patiently.
Lin Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "I traveled with Liu Qiang and Captain Li Moran's family all the way. I can testify that Liu Qiang did not threaten anyone's life with a gun. He only shot and killed zombies and saved other survivors."
"At that time, there were several soldiers in the 404th Regiment who were dying and needed our help to bring them back to the base. Captain Hu lent a gun to Liu Qiang. Liu Qiang should have been thinking of returning the gun to Captain Hu later. There was no such thing as hiding it for personal use or deliberately not handing it over to the base." Lin Qingqing argued very seriously.
Li Shenghua glanced at Lin Qingqing and said, "Lin Qingqing did bring back two wounded soldiers. I was there at the time and I can testify to that."
The squadron leader's mind was in a mess. How could an ordinary veteran suddenly have connections with so many regimental-level figures?
The squadron leader came back to his senses and said quickly, "There must be some misunderstanding. So, I will release him first. If I still need his cooperation in the investigation, I will contact him later."
It wasn't that he was a coward, but now that the city was under martial law, the police were all keeping a low profile. People like him, coming from out of town, just wanted to do their jobs well and didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the bigwigs.
"Someone must have made a false accusation! Why are you still investigating? Hurry up and release the person yourself." A stern voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Captain Lao Bai strode in and saluted Li Shenghua when he saw him.
He first finalized the previous case, and then smiled at Li Shenghua and said, "Is the eldest lady here to inspect the work?"
Upon hearing this, the squadron leader ran even faster. The only person their boss could call "Miss" was the daughter of base commander Li Baifu! Even if the police were marginalized, their boss still had dozens of guns and wouldn't be so humble.
Ahhh, no wonder he felt familiar when he saw this female officer! Moreover, the female officer just now also said her last name was Li.
"I'm just a surveyor. How can I be qualified to inspect your work? Uncle Bai, stop joking."
"Hahaha!" Captain Lao Bai laughed heartily. His voice was so loud that the hens would not lay eggs for three days after hearing the sound.
Lin Qingqing's ears were buzzing. After becoming a superpower, her five senses and six consciousnesses were enhanced to varying degrees. She silently moved towards the window.
Watching Li Shenghua, who was thought to have low emotional intelligence, greet the other party politely and tactfully.
Suddenly Lin Qingqing understood. It wasn't that Li Shenghua had low emotional intelligence, but that she wasn't qualified enough to make Li Shenghua spend time talking!
This realization made Lin Qingqing suddenly sober up. She had been a little arrogant recently and did whatever she wanted just because she had some ability. This was absolutely unacceptable.
Lin Qingqing turned her head to the window and let out a long breath. She thought she had to adjust her mindset.
Outside, the sun is out today, a rare sight, and the temperature has risen a little. On the balcony of the residential building opposite, colorful quilts and clothes are drying in the sun.
Children who don't have to go to school and elderly people who are idle at home are all out, and the streets are a bit more lively than usual.
Suddenly, a black figure came into Lin Qingqing's sight. The familiar slightly curly white hair reflected the old lady's rosy face. She was always smiling, smiling at everyone.
It’s Tan’s mother!
Lin Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. This place was several blocks away from Old Tan's house. Was Mrs. Tan sick again?
"Li Shenghua, I have an urgent matter, so I'll go down first." Lin Qingqing couldn't remember whether Tan's mother had been lost at this time in her previous life. She hurriedly said something to Li Shenghua and ran out.
When she knew Tan's mother, she had gone missing several times. Every time she was found, she was dirty and smelly. And Tan's mother was originally a very clean person.
Lin Qingqing ran downstairs quickly and out the door, but she couldn't see Tan's mother across the street.
"Where did the old lady in black clothes who was standing here just now go?" Lin Qingqing asked a passerby.
Passerby A looked confused.
"Grandma is on the bus!" A child on the roadside pointed at the departing car and said to Lin Qingqing.
"Thank you!" Lin Qingqing grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to the child, then ran after the bus.
There were very few vehicles on the road in the base, but the bus was quite fast. Lin Qingqing ran for three stops before she finally reached the bus, breathless.
When she got in the car, Tan's mother was gone.
"Master, did an old lady in black get on the bus in front of the police station just now?" Lin Qingqing asked the driver anxiously.
"I didn't notice." The driver glanced at Lin Qingqing and said, "Swipe your card first!"
Lin Qingqing frowned, and while swiping the points, she asked the passengers, "Did anyone see where the old lady in black got off the bus?"
The passengers had blank expressions, perhaps because it was none of their business, or perhaps because they were tired, and no one responded.
Lin Qingqing felt a wave of sadness in her heart. This world has become so cold and heartless that people are reluctant to help others with words.
So she lived for five years in her previous life, having always been cautious and self-protective. The rare time she felt guilty, she was killed.
"Police station... no old lady has ever gotten on the bus." The female passenger sitting in the front seat of the car hesitated and said softly.
Lin Qingqing was stunned when she heard this. Was she deceived by that kid?
"Thank you." Lin Qingqing quickly thanked the female passenger, then said to the driver, "Master, please stop the car. My elderly family member is missing."
Seeing her anxious, the driver actually stopped the car by the roadside. Lin Qingqing thanked him and jumped out of the car and ran back.
When she ran back to the police station, the child who had just lied to her was gone. Lin Qingqing was furious.
She always thought that children would not lie, and subconsciously believed the child's lies.
Most of the shops along the street are closed, but a few families use their shops as their homes.
Lin Qingqing took a few deep breaths and patiently began to ask each family one by one.
She asked more than a dozen stores but got no news about Tan's mother.
What was unknown was that this action alarmed the person who had been looking for her.
"Boss, the person you're looking for has been found. She's on North Street. She's looking for an old woman in black."
In the basement of the ruins of a certain building in the city, Hu Zhan Ge, who was determined to become the lord of the apocalypse, was practicing boxing on a sandbag with his upper body bare.
Hearing the report from his men, he punched the sandbag hard, sending the bag flying.
