Chapter 470 Suspect
The people in the room were all shocked when they saw Fang Yuxin's face suddenly change, and their hearts were also lifted. They knew Fang Yuxin very well, so they were thinking the same thing at this moment - what did Fang Yuxin sense? Why was he so angry?
It was Bai Ye who asked first. He was sitting next to Fang Yuxin. When he noticed Fang Yuxin's expression change drastically, he held her hand, squeezed it soothingly, and asked her, "Xinxin, did you find anything?"
Fang Yuxin frowned, and although her expression was not as scary as before, it was still not good looking. She did not directly answer Bai Ye's question, but asked Qu Qianhe: "Mom, is Shang Jinxiu not in the base?"
Qu Qianhe was stunned at first, then nodded, frowned and said: "She is indeed not in the base recently, but went out with the caravan. What happened? Did...something happened to her? Xinxin, what did you sense just now?"
"Sure enough," Fang Yuxin sighed secretly, his face still not looking good, "I just sensed that Shang Jinxiu is dead. Although I don't know who did it, there is definitely something wrong with the caravan!"
When she saved Shang Jinxiu, she asked Shang Jinxiu to swear a blood oath. It was because of the blood oath that she could sense the moment of Shang Jinxiu's death. Of course, it was not just Shang Jinxiu. As long as anyone who had sworn a blood oath with her had something wrong, she would be able to sense it. But she didn't expect that she would encounter such a thing just after returning home.
Fang Yuxin has always admired Shang Jinxiu, not only because of her unreserved trust and protection, but also because of her excellence and tenacity. Spatial power is very special, and there are very few people who can awaken spatial power. If Fang Yuxin had not been unable to find the relevant skills in the Sutra Library, she would have guided Shang Jinxiu to practice immortality long ago.
On the way back, she was still thinking about how Shang Jinxiu's abilities had improved, whether she had figured out any powerful skills, and whether Shang Jinxiu would like the gifts she brought back. But she didn't expect that they would be separated forever before they even met.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuxin narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked Qu Qianhe again: "Mom, do you know the route of Shang Jinxiu's caravan? I must find her and avenge her!"
Qu Qianhe also had a good impression of Shang Jinxiu, and because Fang Yuxin was always out and rarely stayed in the Hope Base, Qu Qianhe met Shang Jinxiu more often, and always regarded Shang Jinxiu as a junior. Just now, when she heard Fang Yuxin say that Shang Jinxiu was dead, she was still a little dazed. Now that she had come to her senses, she also felt a strong desire to kill!
Shang Jinxiu has a good personality, she is kind and tough, she never takes the initiative to cause trouble, and her methods are not cruel enough. Now that she was killed, it was definitely not her own fault, so Qu Qianhe must help her get revenge!
Although Bai Zhengli and Fang Jintang did not have such deep feelings for Shang Jinxiu, she was a person they hoped to protect in their base after all, and Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe cared so much about her death, so they naturally would not stand idly by.
However, they did not need to do it themselves. They only needed to give the order and they would soon find out the route of the caravan that Shang Jinxiu was in.
Although Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye had eliminated many zombies in China, they were not completely eliminated. In addition, with the mutant creatures, the outside of the safe base was not absolutely safe. And the development status of each base was not exactly the same. Even if some bases obtained high-yield seeds from the Hope Base, the development of the base was not optimistic. After all, not every base could have a large area of arable land.
In addition, different places have different specialties, so caravans have become more and more popular this year. Not only does the Hope Base have many caravans, but other bases also have their own caravans. However, since it is not safe outside, some small-scale caravans do not go too far, and only some large-scale caravans can go to relatively far places. The benefits of this round trip will also be quite optimistic.
It’s just that the caravan has too much cargo, so it’s very troublesome to transport it. The caravan Shang Jinxiu is in is quite large, and with the presence of her, a space-capable person, most of the caravan’s cargo is placed in her space.
After Fang Yuxin received the news, he immediately guessed that Shang Jinxiu's accident this time was most likely due to her identity as a space-capable person and the goods in her personal space!
This speculation made Fang Yuxin very angry. Shang Jinxiu had always been kind to others, but now he had lost his life innocently because of some people's greed. No matter who those people were, they all deserved to die!
After estimating Shang Jinxiu's location according to the time, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye set off again. However, this time it was just the two of them. Fang Yuyang stayed at the Hope Base to help deal with some things, while Bai Qianqian was left with Qu Qianhe and Shui Rou. He had been away from home for a year, and the two missed him so much that they couldn't bear to let him go.
Fortunately, Bai Qianqian felt that he was already a little man, and he didn't cling to Fang Yuxin like he used to, fearing that she would disappear. He didn't mind being left at the Hope Base this time. Instead, he said to Fang Yuxin frankly: "Don't worry, Mom. I will take good care of grandparents!" While speaking, he patted his chest seriously.
Fang Yuxin was not worried at all about what might happen at home. In the past year, Bai Zhengli was about to advance to the late stage of foundation building. Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang had advanced to the late stage of foundation building not long ago. Only Shui Rou started practicing late and has just established her foundation.
Plus, with Fang Yuyang around, she didn't have to worry about anything happening at home. Not to mention that no one in the entire Hope Base was a match for Fang Yuyang, even if a high-level zombie really came out, she believed that Fang Yuyang could handle it.
Because Shang Jinxiu was murdered, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye did not stay at home for too long, and hurried to the expected location to prevent the murderer from escaping. According to the route of the caravan and the time of departure, they have roughly estimated a range. If there are no accidents, they should be able to find the caravan soon.
The range that Fang Yuxin and the others estimated was in Shuzhong. Although this place was not small, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye had both reached the peak of the late foundation building stage and were only one step away from forming a golden elixir. As long as they got here, it would be easy for them to find the caravan!
Angela and Bai Er were both very fast now, and with the help of the Gale Talisman specially used by Fang Yuxin, it only took them one day to get from the Hope Base to Shuzhong. They followed the route of the caravan, asked around at the nearby base, and soon found the caravan.
When Shang Jinxiu died, the caravan was at the Jincheng base. Because of her disappearance, the caravan had to stop temporarily and try every means to find her whereabouts. The only thing to be thankful for was that the captain of the caravan was very cautious, because Shang Jinxiu was going out, and the goods in her personal space had been taken out and placed in the room. Except for Shang Jinxiu's disappearance, the caravan did not suffer any losses.
When Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye arrived, the whole caravan was already somewhat panicked. They all guessed that Shang Jinxiu had been in trouble. After all, Shang Jinxiu had been in the caravan for quite some time and had never been in trouble before. Everyone trusted her. This time she did not take the goods away, so there was no possibility of her escaping. She could only have been ambushed.
The people in the caravan were shocked when they saw Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye. They never thought that Shang Jinxiu's death would lead these two people out! Seeing that the two of them looked unhappy, these people had a strange feeling in their hearts - no matter who did it, the other party was obviously in trouble this time!
The captain of the caravan came forward to greet them warmly, but before he could say anything, Fang Yuxin raised his hand to stop him and asked directly: "Why did we come here this time? I'm sure you all know the reason. Time is urgent now, so let's not talk nonsense. Since you are staying here, you must have investigated it, right? Now tell me, is there anything wrong before and after Shang Jinxiu left? In other words, do you have any suspects in your mind?"
Fang Yuxin's guess was correct. After Shang Jinxiu got into trouble, the caravan did conduct an investigation. After all, Shang Jinxiu was a very rare and precious space user, and she also had a very good relationship with Qu Qianhe. Even if we ignore her identity as a space user, just based on her relationship with Qu Qianhe, it is impossible for them to do nothing after her death!
After hearing Fang Yuxin's question, everyone in the caravan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they had checked it. Otherwise, if they couldn't answer anything Fang Yuxin asked, they would probably face Fang Yuxin's wrath! Although Fang Yuxin was a wood-type mutant, after seeing her ability, no one in the Hope Base dared to look down on her!
What's more, there's not only Fang Yuxin here, there's also the fierce Bai Ye, and two high-level contracted beasts! Even though Angela looks only the size of a palm, they know that there's almost infinite power in that tiny body. Just a slight movement of her claws will kill them without a burial place!
The captain of the caravan quickly told the results of the investigation. His voice was relatively calm, but if you listened carefully, you would find that he was actually very nervous. He said: "When Ah Xiu got into trouble, it was the day we came to Jincheng Base. At that time, I was leading people to discuss business with some people in the base. After Ah Xiu took the goods out of the portable space, he went out for a stroll, probably to see the situation of Jincheng Base.
There were supposed to be people around her, but they separated. Then, there was an explosion in a corner of the base. I took people to check it out, but there was nothing left except a mess. Since then, I have not been able to contact Ah Xiu. I suspect that the explosion was related to Ah Xiu, but the explosion site has been put under martial law, and someone is in charge of the investigation. They suspect that someone blew himself up.
Fang Yuxin's face turned very ugly when he heard this: "What else? Do you have any suspects in your mind?"
The captain of the caravan felt cold at her gaze, and after swallowing, he continued, "The explanation given by Jincheng Base is that they suspected that a high-level zombie had sneaked in, and was discovered by Ah Xiu. Ah Xiu blew herself up in order to get rid of the other party, and expressed her willingness to pay a certain amount of compensation, but I think... this matter is very unusual. Ah Xiu is a space ability user, and some of her skills are very lethal. Even if she really encounters a high-level zombie, she can hide if she can't beat it. There is no need to self-destruct. Unless... she was ambushed by someone and can no longer hide."
At the end of his speech, he no longer dared to look at Fang Yuxin's expression. After a pause, he quickly said, "Miss Fang, I have already controlled the people who went out with Ah Xiu before, but I am not sure whether these two people have any problems. In addition, I heard that a very powerful researcher has recently joined Jincheng's research institute. However, this person is very mysterious, and I can find very little information about him."
Fang Yuxin understood what he meant. This person was obviously suspicious of the new researcher. Whether he really suspected her or was just making random accusations to shirk responsibility, Fang Yuxin would carefully check this person's background! As for the two people who were controlled... they'd better pray that they have nothing to do with this matter, otherwise, she wouldn't mind letting them taste the taste of life worse than death!
Fang Yuxin narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Take me to see those two people." As she spoke, she glanced at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye understood and immediately said, "I'll go check on that researcher." After he said that, he glanced at everyone in the caravan with a warning, then took Bai Er out.
Fang Yuxin was taken to the room where the two suspects were held. Before she even got close, she heard an angry roar from inside the room: "Liu Yao! I'm innocent! That incident has nothing to do with me! Let me out now!"
This was a man's voice, and it sounded full of energy, obviously he had not suffered much. Fang Yuxin sneered, and her figure flashed, and the next moment she was at the door of the room. The door was not locked, and she pushed it lightly and it opened.
When the person in the room saw the door open, he didn't even have time to look at who was outside, and said rudely: "You're finally willing to open the door? Let me out now!" However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Fang Yuxin's face.
Because of the Hope Base's official website, everyone in the base knew Fang Yuxin. When he suddenly saw Fang Yuxin, his eyes flashed and his face changed instantly. He was shocked at first, and then he started to complain: "Ms. Fang... Miss Fang? Why are you here? Let me out! I am innocent!"
But the next moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brain, and then something seemed to be pulled out. He didn't know what happened, and he couldn't control his body. Only fear and regret spread in his heart.
At this time, Fang Yuxin no longer looked at him, but turned to look at another person in the corner. This was a young woman, who was pretty good-looking. She had not cried or made a fuss before, but now, probably because she saw the fate of the other person, her face quickly turned pale, and her strong body began to tremble.
Noticing Fang Yuxin's cold gaze, she raised her head abruptly and said tremblingly, "No...it's none of my business."
Fang Yuxin raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically: "Regret now? It's too late!"
