Chapter 229 248. Coincidence and Crisis
In addition to some questions containing basic common sense, the officer also asked a few questions about extraordinary abilities that did not involve Xu Zhi's privacy. But coincidentally, Xu Zhi had not received any real-world extraordinary education. The only thing he knew about the circuit was what he heard from the doctor, but he only knew this thing.
After several attempts, Xu Zhi's performance was flawless.
But she wasn't just acting; her ignorance was real, and she couldn't act it out that way.
It took some time to retrieve the surveillance footage. After all, this was the bottom floor, and many technologies were not as convenient as those in the upper areas. Dr. Zhuang's testimony was delivered to the officers soon after, mixed with the pictures printed out by Xiaoman after scanning Xu Zhi's injuries using her extraordinary abilities, as well as Dr. Zhuang's confession.
The female officer first looked through the "case" and confession given by Doctor Zhuang, and then she showed a look of surprise. She didn't expect that Xu Zhi's so-called injury would be so serious. This almost ruled out the element of "self-directed and self-acted", because with this kind of injury, if she was caught in the rain for a while longer, or if there was any mistake in any link when she was picked up and taken home, she would die on the spot.
Not to mention that even if she was picked up and brought home, she would face various accidents. At that time, Xu Zhizhen was "hanging on for dear life" and could be blown out by the slightest breeze.
So, who would do such a cruel thing to a person with the [Light] attribute, and who did this seemingly well-behaved girl offend?
There aren't too many complicated power struggles at the bottom, but the officer managed to smell a complex aura from the girl.
Soon, the surveillance footage was cleared, but the adjutant's expression was not good.
He leaned close to the officer's ear and told him the bad news: "The surveillance footage that night seemed to be affected by some magnetic field for a while, and it didn't record anything."
The female officer determined on the spot that this was definitely not a coincidence.
It's interesting too. She had just recently received an order from the upper level to look for certain traces at the lower level, and now she encountered a bizarre incident that had not occurred at the lower level for more than ten years. However, confirming that this girl has the [Light] attribute can rule out the suspicion that she is related to it.
Under various coincidences, if the girl in front of her was not of the [Light] attribute, she would have directly sent her to prison to await trial, but the [Light] attribute...
"Go home and pack your things. You will be following the army for the next period of time."
The female officer's tone was full of unquestionableness. She did not intend to let go of the issue of Xu Zhi. She would even conduct a more detailed investigation later. However, she had more urgent matters on her hands at the moment. Just in case, she planned to keep the two sisters under her nose.
After all, it was too much of a coincidence. It happened to be around the same time, there was a problem with the surveillance, and he happened to live here. Even if it was [Light], he couldn't let his guard down.
"But sir, I still have work to do. If I skip work, I will lose my job," Qi Yanxin mustered up the courage to say this.
Although the female officer looked ruthless, she replied directly after hearing what Qi Yanxin said: "I will send someone to inform the factory where you work. If there is no problem after this is over, you can still go back to work."
Although the surveillance incident was over, Xu Zhi knew that the investigation into her would not end. Perhaps soon, the military would discover that she had no trace of having lived in the lower class.
It doesn't matter. She has already thought of a "way out". Although there is an element of gambling, Xu Zhi feels that people in the lower-level military cannot know the secrets of the federal world, and they will not think that they are completely visitors from "another world".
Xu Zhi planned to start from now on, starting from his contact with this officer, and try to forge another identity for himself.
"Alright, my men will follow you. Now go pack your things and move into the place I've arranged."
The officer waved his hand to make the decision, without even asking Xu Zhiqi Yanxin's opinion. After all, it was not important.
On the way home, Xu Zhi could see men in uniform squatting down and examining the ground for something, probably bloodstains that had long been blurred by the footprints of scavengers.
All the body parts on the street have been collected. Judging from the reagent that was much more useful than Zhuang Xu's, the army should be able to extract information about the "real murderer" from these traces. Unless the other party is well prepared and very cautious, can predict the army's whereabouts, and has more powerful means to erase all the information left on it in advance, but that is almost impossible.
Judging from the traces left behind, this was a brutal guy who didn't care about details and was immersed in the pleasure of killing.
It probably won't be long before he is caught.
If he had not escaped and his strength had not exceeded expectations.
There weren't many things to pack at home. During the packing process, Qi Yanxin seemed to have something to say, but because someone was always watching over them, she didn't speak.
Xu Zhi understood many of her concerns, and what surprised her was that even in the face of such a situation, Qi Yanxin did not have the slightest intention of "dissociating herself" during the negotiation with the officer just now. Instead, she tried her best to show that Xu Zhi was "harmless."
Xu Zhi could see her worry about him, but he couldn't say anything because there were outsiders present. Instead, he stared at the person watching the two of them and comforted her, "Don't worry, they'll let us go once they find out."
Although he said so, Xu Zhi knew in his heart that the possibility was extremely low because there was nothing he could find out about her.
The girl sighed silently in her heart. Although it was not what she wanted, Qi Yanxin was indeed in danger because of her. Since the other party did not choose to abandon her at this moment, she naturally could not do so.
The place the officer arranged for them was also a tent, which seemed to have been cleared out temporarily. The tent was not small and was more than enough for the two of them to stay in.
"I don't know how long I will have to live here?" Although Qi Yanxin was just a low-level scavenger, she also knew that in a place like this, there were many things that could not be said. There might be ears behind the walls, so she could only ask some irrelevant things.
"It shouldn't take too long." Xu Zhi said affirmatively.
Based on the brief contact, this army is very efficient.
As Xu Zhi expected, he didn't have to wait too long. Almost at nightfall, through the poorly soundproofed tent, Xu Zhi heard a little noise outside. It seemed that someone was saying, "We found that guy!"
Without hesitation, she lifted the tent curtain. The soldiers guarding outside immediately looked at her. Xu Zhi also looked back and asked with a smile, "I just heard someone say that the murderer has been caught?"
"Can I go and see it?"
The guard remained silent, waiting for a few seconds until he heard the commander's instructions through his headset. He then said, "I'll take you there."
Sure enough, everything they say here will be heard.
I just don’t know what kind of mentality the officer had when he agreed to let her go?
