Chapter 88 Liu Wenqin
The support from the Strategy Bureau always came late, but in terms of post-processing, they were quite competent. From Luoming District to Lixing District, both places where the incidents occurred were controlled and isolated by the Strategy Bureau's personnel.
Among them, the damaged areas in Luoming District were the most scattered, and the damage to roads and infrastructure was also the most serious, but fortunately there were few casualties; the damaged areas in Lixing District were almost only around the First Welfare Home in Fangting City, but it caused the deaths of many innocent people.
The restoration and reconstruction of the disaster-stricken areas, the evacuation and follow-up arrangements for those in distress, the investigation and evidence collection and comfort of eyewitnesses, and the arrest and escort of terrorists. A large amount of work was carried out around the crisis that lasted only a few hours.
The magicians who call themselves the Black Dawn will be sent to the Bureau of Strategy for further interrogation. They will face punishments based on their crimes and their confession attitude, ranging from the abolition of the ability to use magic to the death penalty. The bodies of the dead men in black robes will be transported to the large Bureau of Strategy in the central city and sent to the research institute of the magic kingdom through its gate.
As for the last and most difficult target: the Claw-Scar Magical Girl Sparrow, she will be detained in a special detention facility in Fangting City, awaiting the arrival of the Fang Investigation Institute of the Magic Kingdom.
This was Cuiqiao's own idea, and it was also strongly supported by Fangting City's Strategy Bureau.
According to Director Moss, this is not just a matter of handling this case well, but also a good opportunity to re-establish contact with the magical kingdom.
Therefore, through the contact of the sower in the neighboring city of Qingyan, the Fangting City Strategy Bureau immediately passed the information to the National Investigation Institute, and received a reply a few days later: the Investigation Institute will send an investigation team to Fangting City.
Different from its previous indifferent attitude, the Investigation Institute obviously pays more attention and cares more about the members of the "Claw" organization.
However, that’s all in the past.
After this sudden and quickly resolved crisis, and before the arrival of the state, Lin Yun, who had successfully resigned, still had a few things to do.
Settle the new magical girl, Bai Jingxuan, who has just joined the team; assist the Strategy Bureau with some final cleanup work; and then, it is the day he has long been prepared for: Anya's death anniversary.
Lin Yun knew nothing about Bai Jingxuan, a girl who suddenly became a magical girl. Apart from discovering that her magic seemed to have special properties when they first met, he only knew that she lived in an orphanage and was an orphan.
But even if they are orphans, unless they are abandoned babies, they should have had parents and families. Out of the need to get to know them better, Lin Yun chose to meet with the director of the welfare home, Ms. Liu Wenqin.
Of course, not as Lin Yun, but as Cuiqiao.
Due to this need, the Strategy Bureau also specially opened a backdoor for Cuique: Normally, when ordinary people learn the true identity of the magical girl, they should be given psychological hints in time to forget about it. However, after this incident, the Strategy Bureau did not give Dean Liu psychological hints immediately, but temporarily let her retain the full picture of the matter so that she could communicate better with Cuique.
And so, on the morning of the second day after the incident, Cuiqiao and Liu Wenqin met in the dean's office.
"I already know why you came. To be honest... I never thought that I would encounter something like this at my age."
Sitting behind her desk with her arm in a plaster cast, Liu Wenqin said helplessly, "Although I have always known that magic exists in this world, it still feels a little unreal when these things really happen to me."
"We are sorry that we were unable to detect the situation in time and were unable to come to rescue in time."
Sitting in the chair in front of the desk, Kuija held the teacup prepared by Liu Wenqin and said, "It should be the mission of our magical girls to eliminate the remaining beasts in a timely manner. As the captain of the Fangting City team, I feel very sorry for this."
After hearing what Cuiqiao said, Liu Wenqin, who was sitting behind the desk, was slightly stunned at first, and then said: "Sorry, before we start talking about Xiaoxuan, can I ask you a question first?"
"Excuse me." Delphinium looked at her calmly.
"Although I don't remember it very clearly...but is your name Cornflower?"
Looking carefully at Delphinium's clothes, Liu Wenqin hesitated and said, "It may be a bit presumptuous to ask this question. If you don't know who Cornflower is, just pretend that I didn't ask."
There was a moment of silence in the office.
"……I am."
After wiping the teacup in her hand and being silent for a while, Delphinium remained calm and nodded: "If you want to talk about the magical girl named Cornflower, then I am Cornflower."
"Haha, no wonder, I felt you looked familiar when I first saw you."
Liu Wenqin smiled with some relief. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but her attitude became much more relaxed. "If I remember correctly, you were the magical girl of Fangting City 20 years ago. I would occasionally see you on the news at that time. My daughter liked you very much, too."
"Twenty years ago? So, your daughter now..." Delphinium caught the message in her words.
"Yes, she already has her own children now."
Liu Wenqin covered her mouth, as if she was very happy to mention this topic: "She had planned to come to this welfare home to be a volunteer caregiver for a while, but unfortunately she was too lazy in the end. Now she missed the opportunity to meet her childhood idol."
Delphinium shook her head: "It's been so long, even if I paid attention to it when I was a child, I have probably forgotten it now."
"How could that be? Even now when she sees news related to magical girls, she still occasionally mentions your name."
Liu Wenqin smiled and said, "You were the great heroes of this city. People who like you will always remember your name."
Cuiqiao had heard this sentence from Wang Tengfei not long ago.
Since she retired and came back, she has been trying to hide her tracks and has never come into contact with ordinary people. She never expected that after she came into close contact with people as a magical girl, so many people would still remember her.
"Speaking of which, have you been a magical girl in Fangting City for the past twenty years? You said you are the captain now, so what about the children before? I remember they were named Ying and Lanxiang... and there was also a child with a very long name?"
When Cuiqiao didn't reply, Liu Wenqin continued to speak. Halfway through her speech, she realized that there was something wrong with her content and waved her hand apologetically: "Ah, sorry, I subconsciously treated you as the children you were back then."
"I feel like magical girls are really amazing. Even after so many years, they haven't aged at all. They still look so young, like little kids."
