Chapter 270 Conspiracy
"Calm down." Lu Xiao took a look at the bloodstain and said to the people following him, "Check the scene, we'll go ask the dealer."
"Yes, yes, let's go to the banker." Lu Xiao's son is here. Qi Lin looked at the gloomy face of the man in front of him, but he was still able to quickly arrange the manpower and calm down the panic. He followed him and strode towards the banker.
When the group stopped at a villa not far away, the banker’s people saw it.
Master Zhuang San looked through the study and saw Zhuang Chengzheng next to him asking, "Lu Xiao has a lot of people under his command. Will he cause trouble for us?"
"What does it have to do with us?" Mr. Zhuang San said with a smile, "These are Chengye's soldiers. Besides, we didn't do anything. It was Mingxu who made enemies and ruined himself."
Lu Xiao took Qi Lin directly into the farmhouse. Xia Xue and Song You were playing with toys in the yard, one holding a rag doll and the other studying an electric car. When they saw people coming in, they shouted loudly to the people inside.
Xia Xiaorong came out first, "Major General Lu."
"I'm looking for Major General Zhuang" refers to Zhuang Chengye, Lu Xiao's direct superior.
"My uncle and the others are all out, only the old man is at home," said Xia Xiaorong.
"Then find Mr. Zhuang."
"Wait a moment." Xia Xiaorong let the two in and went to find Mr. Zhuang. After a while, she asked Lu Xiao to go to the study.
"Mr. Zhuang," Lu Xiao greeted him.
Without waiting for the question, Mr. Zhuang took the initiative to say, "I know what you want to ask. Last night, the Hunter Guild led a group of psychics to attack the villa. The people who rushed over disappeared, and the hall was covered in blood. Chengye is now trying those psychics."
"This is the result of the garbage test, it contains ** ingredients." Mr. Zhuang handed Lu Xiao a piece of paper and briefly talked about the conflict between Zhuang Mingxu and Li Ji. "We are already investigating."
"Everyone is missing?" Lu Xiao was filled with murderous intent, and spoke each word with pause, "Where is Zhuang Mingxu?"
"Mingxu is missing too, we are sending people to look for him"
"Where are the people being held? I want to participate in the interrogation."
"This is Chengye's responsibility. I'll tell you the details when he comes back."
"Okay, excuse me for interrupting you." Lu Xiao said a few words and turned to leave. Qi Lin followed behind him. He was confused for a moment and waited until they left the villa, refusing to accept it. "They were fine when I left. The team leader said that he would be fine when we come back. His supernatural powers are very strong..."
"He... he must be lying, Major General Lu, what do you think? Definitely."
"Check it first." The paper in his hand was crumpled by Lu Xiao. He said in a serious voice and strode back to the villa. Compared with Qi Lin's helplessness, he was abnormally calm. If you look closely, you can detect the surging anger under the calm.
"Cong Qing, report the situation," Lu Xiao said as soon as he entered the villa.
The villa of "Master Xiao" has been carefully checked. A serious man said, "It has been checked. These bloodstains are all human blood. It is not certain whether it is from one person or different people. Judging from the bleeding, the victim did not struggle at all, and there is no sign of disorder in the rooms, but..."
"A backpack is missing, and there are signs that it has been rummaged through." Cong Qing took Lu Xiao to the second floor.
Zhuang Chengye's people in the villa only took away some obvious things that needed to be checked. The incident caused a big commotion, involving two forces and many people watching, but the scene was not very destructive.
Cong Qing took him into a room and said, "Every room here has a corresponding emergency backpack. I checked and the things inside are all the same, but this room is missing one or two, and the things inside were thrown into the closet. It looks like they left in a hurry."
"This is the standard equipment for everyone in the team. It contains emergency food, water, and some survival supplies. It is a must-have when traveling." Qi Lin looked around the room. "This is Li Zhuang and Xu Yi's room. It should be only for Li Zhuang."
"The marks on this bed show that someone must have fallen asleep not long ago." Cong Qing led the two of them around to the middle. "A child was lying here. Compared to the other rooms, the wrinkles here prove that someone was sleeping there. The time was about the same as before. There was no sign of someone getting out of bed, so he must have been taken away. There were signs that he had hidden in the kitchen. I found hair there."
He held out a few soft, fine hairs, "like a child's."
The three of them went downstairs and into the kitchen. The signs of hiding in the cupboard were too obvious, and a clean area appeared in the dust nest. Cong Qing reached out and touched a handful of accumulated dust, "This kind of dust is also on the supplies thrown out from the first room."
"I speculate that something happened in the villa, someone found it, took the child away and hid in the cupboard, then took the supplies and ran away with everyone," Cong Qing said, without waiting for anyone to speak, "there were traces of tumbling on the wall at the back door, and there were also this kind of dust stains on it."
"That's Xu Yi's bed." Xu Yi brought Zhuang Aiyi with him. Thinking of the arm that was chopped off by Lu Weiyi, Qi Lin's heart trembled.
Lu Xiao didn't say anything. He handed the list to Cong Qing and repeated what Mr. Zhuang said, "What is the probability that someone was killed in the villa without alerting anyone?"
The "Zero" villa is inspected every half an hour. It is impossible that no one has never encountered so many people with special abilities. "Others have gone out to inquire about the situation and will come back as soon as there is any news."
Lu Xiao nodded, moved a stool and sat in the yard of the villa.
The big tree in front of him was really abrupt, so he asked Qi Lin, "Was this tree there when you left?"
"No." Qi Lin stepped forward and poked carefully. A very thin piece of paper wrapped around his hand and pushed it. He was shocked, "Major General Lu, it's alive!"
Lu Xiao stood up, condensed a fireball and threw it towards the tree. When it was about to hit the tree, the fireball was bounced back. Lu Xiao quickly dodged and the fireball fell to the ground.
The thin thread wrapped around Qi Lin's fingertips retracted and disappeared.
"This seems to be... a mutated plant," Lu Xiao said uncertainly.
"It's a mutant plant. Meng Huan has already felt it. The level is not low." Cong Qing said, and looked at Qi Lin, "Who in your team has a mutant plant?"
"Gu Qingji," Qi Lin said, and paused, "The team leader seems... yes, I'm not sure, I'm a member of the second team and I don't have much contact with him."
After Qi Lin finished speaking, he heard something and turned to look at the tree. He carefully reached out and poked it again. A green branch pushed his hand. This touch...
"This..." He was surprised and put his whole palm on it. Considering the previous experience of Zhuang Mingxu tickling him, the little green branch immediately pushed his whole arm away. Qi Lin also felt it more delicately. He turned his head with a look of joy, "This belongs to the captain. I have felt this."
After all, he was a person who had fallen into the water and was rescued by Lu Weiyi countless times, so the memory of him was particularly vivid.
Lu Xiao frowned slightly and reached out to touch him. Cong Qing wanted to step forward to stop him, but he waved his hand to refuse.
"Be gentle, don't hurt it, it's very flexible."
As Lu Xiao approached, he also felt it. He lowered his head and looked carefully, and identified a green thread that went up and merged into the leaves.
"Xiao Yi's mutated plants are here..." Lu Xiao returned to the stool, muttering to himself as he thought, and said to Cong Qing on the side, "Go find the wood-type mutant who has the mutated plants at the base, I have something to ask him."

In the laboratory, Dean has regained his strength.
He wanted to sneak out but was bumped into by the food delivery man, which alarmed the doctor on the floor, so he hurried back to the room.
After sitting for a while, Zhuang Mingxu came back alone.
"Are you okay?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.
Dean said nothing.
Zhuang Mingxu glanced at the food on the table and rang the bell to order another portion.
He went around the five lower floors. Apart from various laboratories, there were corresponding offices, testing rooms, etc., but he still couldn't find where the monitoring room was. Now there were only three floors he hadn't visited.
They all lost their special powers. Even if he found a soothing injection, considering Dean's condition it would take seven or eight hours for it to be effective, which was basically useless.
The only way is to kill all the guards here, so there is a possibility of rescue, but...
They had no support.
I wonder how Lu Weiyi is doing now?
Zhuang Mingxu lowered his eyes and thought about the possibility of exposing the situation here and getting support from other forces.
I'm afraid that another force will take over and they will still be the donors.
The medicine is taken once every twelve hours. According to the time just now, the next dose should be around midnight.
Zhuang Mingxu stroked the pass in his pocket and decided to explore other places after dinner.
Another portion of food was delivered. As he was opening the lunch box, Zhuang Mingxu whispered, "I saw Antonio, he's fine, don't move!"
The excited Dean immediately calmed down and pretended he heard nothing.
"I'm going out to explore the environment at night, don't move around"
"Eat, you are still useful." Zhuang Mingxu pushed a portion to him and said coldly, "Treat me as soon as you have the strength, don't make me think you are useless."
Dean was so confused that he didn't know which one to believe. However, while eating was fine, conserving his energy was more important.
He put all of his two dishes into the rice box and stuffed it into his mouth in big mouthfuls as if to vent his anger.
Now that he had returned to normal, he no longer felt the broken feeling he had before, and his fighting spirit seemed to have been rekindled. Zhuang Mingxu also breathed a sigh of relief.
After dinner, Zhuang Mingxu looked at Dean and said, "Get to work."
He patted his legs. Dean glared at him angrily and reached out to inject some energy into his legs, relieving Zhuang Mingxu's fatigue and weakness after a day of work.
"No more" Dean shrank back into his chair.
Zhuang Mingxu patted his hands, packed up the lunch box and threw it at the door, "You'd better not run around. If someone digs out your organs, don't blame me for not warning you."
Dean kept his head down in silence.
The door was open, and before it could be closed, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside. Dean trembled and looked at Zhuang Mingxu in horror.
Zhuang Mingxu hesitated for a moment, returned to the room, and "slept on the bed."
Dean climbed onto the bed and wrapped himself in the quilt, listening to the screams outside with fear.
Zhuang Mingxu pressed his legs for a while, then lay on the bed, as if he was going to take a nap, and lowered his voice and said, "People who have been injected with potions to enhance their superpowers will be sent there sooner or later. When you are no longer useful, you will be sent there too."
