"Thank you very much, Secretary Zheng. We are home now. It is not convenient now, so I will not invite you to come in and sit down. Sorry." Jian Hui saw that Secretary Zheng seemed to be talking endlessly, so she spoke quickly.
Secretary Zheng said reluctantly: "It doesn't matter. In this case, I will not disturb you. Then I will leave first. Goodbye." After saying that, he raised his hand and made a goodbye gesture, and got into the car.
After seeing off Secretary Zheng who had ulterior motives, Li Xue and his group opened the door and entered the house. Closing the door blocked all inquiring eyes.
Several people entered the living room and sat down on the sofa. Haohao was very considerate and handed Li Xue a glass of water. Jian Hui and Xiao Ye also brought out some food, fearing that Li Xue had not eaten because she was being interrogated all the time.
"Stop it, I have food there." Li Xue saw that the two of them were busy, and hurried to help.
Haohao grabbed a piece of biscuit and passed it to Li Xue's mouth. Li Xue opened her mouth and took a bite, then rubbed his face with her forehead.
Jian Hui and Xiao Ye sat opposite Li Xue, with obvious curiosity on their faces. After making sure that Li Xue was fine, they were particularly curious about what happened.
Li Xue also knew what they were thinking. After taking a sip of water, she said, "The guys who caused trouble for us yesterday morning were killed in prison. They were in prison because of us, so naturally we are the most suspicious."
"It serves them right. People like that pollute the air when they are alive." Xiao Ye felt that this news was simply gratifying.
"Then why are you the only one being questioned? If we're talking about suspicion, we're all involved!" Jian Hui thought deeply. It wasn't just Li Xue who took action yesterday, she also took out a gun. There were quite a few people who saw it at the time, so why didn't they question me?
"I haven't thought about this. But looking at the attitudes of those who came to question me today, I guess they don't want to make the relationship too awkward before there is clear evidence to prove that I killed those people! After all, they want to recruit people with superpowers." Li Xue thought about the attitudes of those people when they interrogated her. "Besides, I was the only one who hurt someone yesterday. Plus, I'm a superpower, so they only questioned me first. And their attitude doesn't seem to be that they take this case seriously. They just want to leave a good impression on me through this matter!"
"Have they found out who killed those people now?" Xiao Ye still cares more about this.
"No, it is said that the person who did it was very decisive. Not only did he leave no evidence, but even the people in the next cell didn't notice it." Although she said so, Li Xue probably guessed who was responsible.
"Then how did they rule out your suspicion?" Hu Zi interrupted at the right time, and Jian Hui and Xiao Ye nodded. They were also very curious.
"First of all, we just arrived at the base. After what happened yesterday morning, we are well-known in this area. The scope of our activities can be known by asking. Moreover, we are not familiar with the terrain of the base at all. Even you had to ask around to find the location of the prison when you came to find me. In addition, the perpetrator is very familiar with the terrain of the prison. Maybe he has been there before. So, after this analysis and reading my confession, it is almost certain that the murderer is someone else."
"So this means that the three of us have been followed since we left the house?" Jian Hui caught the information in Li Xue's words.
"Now it seems that it should be the case. Maybe, since the incident yesterday morning, we have been targeted by those people." Li Xue analyzed calmly. "Those people let me go so easily, maybe they knew that I was not the murderer, and letting me go on this trip was just a procedure. They also took advantage of this opportunity to test our bottom line and also revealed their intention to recruit us."
"What should we do, you..." Jian Hui didn't care about the purpose of those people. What she was most worried about was that Li Xue's space would be discovered. As a result, she swallowed the words back when she was about to rush out. Fortunately, she reacted. Not to mention that there was an unfamiliar bearded man sitting in the room, there might be someone hiding outside watching them!
Li Xue knew what Jian Hui meant and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, it's okay."
How could Jian Hui be at ease! But she didn't say much on this topic. The more she said, the more suspicious people would be.
"So what should we do next? Should we agree to them or..." Jian Hui glared at Hu Zi and swallowed the words she had not finished. What's wrong with this guy? Why hasn't he left yet?
Li Xue looked at her with amusement, then at Hu Zi, and changed the subject: "Hu Zi, when did you arrive at the base? Where are your companions?"
When Hu Zi heard what Li Xue said, his originally cheerful expression suddenly dimmed a lot: "I have been at the base for almost half a month. As for the others... let's not talk about them." However,
Jian Hui's eyes lit up and she became interested. She looked at Hu Zi with a gossipy look on her face: "Tell me about it!" This must be a person with a story. Looking at his lifeless appearance, he must have been betrayed by his teammates.
Hu Zi looked at Jian Hui with a depressed look on his face. Can't you restrain your expression a little? It was almost as if he had written the words "fortunately".
Li Xue was also a little curious. At that time, Hu Zi was reluctant to leave his companions. What happened made him, who was originally cheerful and open-minded, so sad?
Hu Zi lowered his head and did not speak for a long time. Jian Hui was getting a little impatient waiting. Just when she was about to stand up and leave, Hu Zi said in a suffocating voice: "After separating from you, we drove to H City. I was quite familiar with the route, but who knew that the earthquake destroyed many roads, so we had to take a detour. At the beginning, we didn't encounter any danger on the road, and we had a safe journey. Later..." Hu Zi paused, with a sad and tangled expression on his face.
"Later, when we passed by a small town, I don't know if our good luck had run out. Not long after we entered the town, we were entangled by a fast zombie. The speed of that zombie was faster than that of the scholar. We attacked it desperately, but we couldn't hurt it at all." Hu Zi thought of the powerful speed of the zombie and smiled self-deprecatingly. He naively thought that he would not be afraid of anything if he had superpowers! As a result, a mutated zombie beat him so hard that he had no ability to fight back. The funniest thing is that the brother he tried so hard to protect was the one who dealt him the fatal blow...
"Later, when everyone was exhausted, Zhao Yang was entangled by the zombie. I finally rescued him. Who knew..." Hu Zi wiped his face: "Who knew that when I turned around, he pushed me into the zombie's arms."
