Chapter 318 Qiao Yu
Seeing Maodan staring at the door vigilantly, Xia Xiaoman knew that the person outside was not well-intentioned.
When the door was opened, there were more than a dozen people standing outside, most of whom were people Si Ruifeng brought down from the capital. When these people saw the door was opened, they pushed Xia Xiaoman aside without saying a word and rushed in.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Xia Xiaoman pretended to be angry and symbolically stopped those people for a while. Seeing them impatiently taking out guns to threaten her, she pretended to be angry and unwilling and stood aside, allowing this group of people to enter her house and rummage around.
After searching for a while and not finding the person they were looking for, the leader walked up to Xia Xiaoman and asked in a rough voice, "Where did you go last night?"
Xia Xiaoman said impatiently: "Where can we go at night? Of course we should sleep at home!"
The other party looked at Xia Xiaoman for a while, and seeing that she did not look fake, he took his people away and went to search Chen Peiqiong's house nearby.
The mayor was missing, and the higher-ups took the case very seriously. They patrolled the streets twice as many times as usual. They searched almost every area of the floating city, but could not find any news about Si Ruifeng. It was not until someone found a "king" character scratched with a fingernail on the window sill of Si Ruifeng's office that the higher-ups stopped the search.
This "Wang" was drawn by Xia Xiaoman when she left. Sun Qing once told her that the confidant of Si Ruifeng's second brother was surnamed Wang. If this false clue was left, Si Ruifeng's men would definitely think that the person who moved him away was his second brother.
She was not afraid that the information Sun Qing gave her was wrong. "Wang" was a common surname. Even if Si Ruifeng's second brother's confidant was not surnamed Wang, he must have other people he knew with the surname Wang.
After Si Ruifeng's men discovered this clue, they immediately packed up and headed back north to the capital, probably wanting to rescue Si Ruifeng and tell Mr. Si the news at the same time.
After the group left, Xia Xiaoman thought the matter was over. Just as she was about to take out the information about the dungeon to take a closer look, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Xiaoman walked out the door and saw a child standing at the door. She asked, "Whose child are you?"
The child didn't say anything. After stuffing the thing in his hand to Xia Xiaoman, he turned around and ran away. Soon he disappeared.
Xia Xiaoman frowned and took the thing in her hand to look at it. It was a paper crane made of dry leaves. She took it apart and saw the words written on it, and her face suddenly darkened.
The dead leaf said, "Meet at 11:30 p.m., at the third door on the left at the fork in the road opposite the official headquarters." The inscribed person is "Spacer."
Xia Xiaoman stared at the three words "spacer" for a long time, unable to figure out why this person wanted to meet her.
The other party would pass her this note, indicating that they had guessed that she had space. If the other party coveted her space, they could just send the army to capture her, and there was no need to meet her alone.
After thinking for a long time, Xia Xiaoman decided to find out what this space dweller was trying to do.
However, before leaving, she carefully read the information she got from Si Ruifeng's office, trying to find out information about the spacer.
After watching for a long time, she roughly guessed when the spacers were transformed. According to the construction progress of the underground city, it should be during the earthquake that the capital successfully divided the space and transferred it to other people.
Because if the spacers had been transformed before the earthquake, the capital would definitely use the spacers to allow other cities to develop rapidly and build underground cities. However, before the earthquake, she had never heard of any city suddenly rising.
In addition, the time interval between the arrival of materials from the underground city is too long, with only one batch of materials arriving every half a month. Although the floating city is far away from the Tibetan area, it takes less than half a month to go back and forth. What did the spacers do during this half-month window?
With many questions in mind, Xia Xiaoman arrived at the agreed location early to wait for someone. After waiting for ten minutes, a short-haired woman in pajamas climbed over the wall of the official headquarters and tiptoed to Xia Xiaoman's side.
Xia Xiaoman glanced at the other person. He was pale and thin, and it looked like he would not live long.
"Are you the spacer?" she asked tentatively.
The short-haired woman nodded and said, "My name is Qiao Yu. This is not the place to talk. Come with me." As she spoke, she walked towards an alley.
Xia Xiaoman followed her for seven or eight minutes and stopped in an abandoned shed. "Miss Qiao asked me to come out. Is there something wrong?"
Qiao Yu stared at her for a while, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Xia Xiaoman's wrist, "Can you feel it?"
Xia Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, "What are you feeling?"
"Space! Can't you feel the space inside my body?" Qiao Yu said excitedly.
Xia Xiaoman looked puzzled, "Ms. Qiao, did you have a bad dream because you didn't sleep well? What space? Why don't I understand?"
Qiao Yu sneered when he heard this, "Don't pretend. You were the one who took Si Ruifeng away that day. If I hadn't secretly helped you to remove the guards and delete the surveillance, do you think you could have really taken Si Ruifeng away from the official headquarters smoothly?"
Xia Xiaoman's heart tightened when he heard this. No wonder there were so few guards patrolling that day. It turned out that someone had transferred the guards away.
But this did not make her trust Qiao Yu. Xia Xiaoman continued to play dumb and said, "What are you talking about? How could I arrest Mayor Si? I have no grudge against him."
Qiao Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so he took out his mobile phone from the space, opened the video and put it in front of Xia Xiaoman.
In the video, Xia Xiaoman disguised herself as a man and sneaked into Si Ruifeng's room. Because there was light in the corridor, the surveillance camera clearly captured Xia Xiaoman's half-covered face.
Qiao Yu found Xia Xiaoman's personal information and address by comparing the eyes shown in the video with the Fucheng information system.
With the evidence before her eyes, Xia Xiaoman looked a little unhappy. "What on earth do you want to do?"
Seeing that Xia Xiaoman was no longer playing dumb, Qiao Yu stated her purpose, "I want you to take the space inside me."
"Take away the space inside your body? What does that mean?" Xia Xiaoman looked at Qiao Yu in confusion.
Qiao Yu smiled sadly and said, "This space is a supreme treasure to you, but to me, it is a death warrant."
As she spoke, she slowly pulled up her left sleeve. Under the sleeve, her slender arm was covered with bruises, and among the bruises were densely packed with pinholes.
