Chapter 104 Are You an Idiot?
"Qi Junpeng, stop struggling. You know, I won't deal with anyone easily without solid evidence, especially my colleagues."
Ye Qi called out Da Qi's full name in a deep voice.
Before Qiao Lan steers the subject off track, get the situation back on track.
"Also, I don't want to hear the word 'comrade' from you again." Ye Qi's face was icy cold. "You are sorry for those who sacrificed their lives."
Lightning rose from his palm.
The purple light and the flame in Da Qi's hand complement each other.
Under his stern gaze, Da Qi subconsciously retreated, but was pressed against the back by Qiao Lan's gun.
"Captain...are you really going to listen to her slander and force a charge on me?"
The question came out with a trembling voice.
"Qi Junpeng, do you remember when I said there might be a spy in the base after the first golden rat invasion? What did you say then?"
"What did I say..." Da Qi stared at Ye Qi, wary of the purple light in his palm, "I said someone brought me a glass of water, and then I felt sleepy."
"That's a woman, an assistant to the medical team?"
"Right! You also asked me to inform the guard team to pay attention to the female assistant at the medical point. Did you forget? Now you're checking on me again!"
Ye Qi pursed his lips.
Not far away, the voice of investigator Lao Song was heard.
"Da Qi, I've been watching you. No female assistant brought you water that day. You lied to the captain."
Da Qi's face turned pale, but he didn't dare turn around to look at Lao Song. He was still wary of Ye Qi.
"I'm not lying, Captain. Why did you let Old Song keep an eye on me? Is he the one who's been slandering me? He's been hanging out with the fat woman for a few days. Don't you think they might be conspiring to frame me?"
"Why would I frame you?!"
Old Song walked over in a few steps.
He was attacked in Qiao Lan's basement safe house and was seriously injured by the invader while protecting Xiao Li and others. Because he is not an awakened one, even with the crystal core nursing, his injuries have not yet healed.
His steps were a little unsteady, and he stared at Da Qi, his eyes blazing. "When did you betray me? Tell me! Xiao Zhou is dead, Lao Huang is dead, Deng Zi and the others are all dead! Our investigation team left the capital together, and now there are only a few of us left. You still dared to betray me? Are you worthy of them? Are you crazy? And you want to bite others? Are you an idiot? Do you think the captain is a fool?"
"Brother Song, I don't have any."
Da Qi suddenly burst into tears as he listened to Lao Song's roar.
He lowered his gun, the flame in his palm also extinguished. He looked at Old Song dejectedly, shook his head and muttered, "I really didn't, Brother Song. I was wrong to suspect you just now, but I really didn't betray you, Brother Song. I have no idea this..."
boom!
Fire exploded!
In an instant, the elemental flame that had been extinguished suddenly became stronger, and Old Song, who was close at hand, was completely wrapped in fire!
While setting the fire, Da Qi crouched down and rolled over, quickly rolling behind Lao Song. Using the burning Lao Song as a barrier, he aimed at Qiao Lan's head and shot!
Pick the softest persimmon to squeeze.
He didn't dare to confront Ye Qi head-on because of his powerful electrical abilities and reaction speed, but Qiao Lan was only good at shooting, and he didn't think she would be able to react in close combat.
But he was wrong.
Qiao Lan didn't dodge or evade, and the bullet that was shot at her forehead disappeared out of thin air - using space to collect bullets was something she dared to try only when she reached level four in her previous life. This time it was purely a risk, and it actually worked.
Then she fired two shots back.
Blood spurted out of Da Qi's legs instantly and he fell to the ground.
He fell to the ground and wanted to shoot, but Qiao Lan shot him twice more, breaking both of his arms.
Da Qi has just awakened recently, his body is not strengthened enough, but his bullets are lethal enough.
As soon as he fell, the flames around Old Song were immediately extinguished.
Because he had not developed the ability to control energy even when seriously injured.
At this time, because of the commotion here, many people in the base ran to the nearby area to watch the excitement. They didn't dare to get close, and stood at a distance, pointing and talking. As soon as the fire on Lao Song's body was extinguished, someone immediately ran over, waved his hand, and snapped, Lao Song's whole body was covered with a layer of ice, leaving only his nostrils to breathe.
It is reasonable to use ice to cool down physically after being burned by fire.
This ice-type psychic was one of the two newly awakened ones. Da Qi had just praised him for his bravery and courage, and he had proven that Da Qi hadn't lied and was indeed brave enough to take on the challenge. He just wasn't on the same team as Da Qi, so his praise was in vain.
After wrapping Old Song with ice, the man also wrapped the area around Da Qi's wound with ice.
Ice compresses slow down bleeding, facilitate interrogation, and prevent fainting from excessive blood loss.
When he was done, he was exhausted and limp. He sat on the ground, panting and saying, "Sorry, I'm out of energy. I can only make this little bit of ice."
"Okay, that's enough." Qiao Lan threw him a crystal core of an early mutant beast to help him recover his strength.
They quickly called someone to carry Lao Song to a medical center to treat his burns.
"I'm not going. I want to see this kid confess!" Old Song was furious and shouted in a muffled voice through the ice.
The old investigator was getting more aggressive, and Ye Qi didn't dare to delay, fearing that it would delay Old Song's treatment. At the same time, his patience was running out, so he stopped talking nonsense with Da Qi.
Da Qi has always refused to admit it, so just expose him directly.
"Qi Junpeng, the first time the golden rats invaded, they didn't break through from the outside, but appeared silently inside the medical station. There must be an insider, a hidden passage. I wasn't at the base at the time, and I have reasonable suspicions about everyone who was there, especially you, who was responsible for guarding the medical station but deserted and dozed off!"
"But just to test you, you fabricated a non-existent female water delivery assistant out of thin air in an attempt to divert my investigation."
"I immediately asked Old Song, who had been ordered to secretly monitor you. He immediately exposed your lie. No one brought you water that day."
"Why did I have Old Song keep an eye on you? I also had others keep an eye on Old Song. Almost every member of the base's original formation was secretly monitored by me, and everyone was also being watched by others—because during the surprise night raid, the enemy was well prepared, which means we already had spies within our ranks! I suspect everyone and investigate everyone!"
"Since you lied, the focus of the investigation is on you."
"The secret passage in the building with the medical center was quickly found. The Golden Rat invaded from there, but I kept it secret. Yesterday, Old Song noticed new signs of movement at the entrance to the secret passage, and the access control was ajar. This morning, you took the initiative to offer to take the two newly awakened members for training. Isn't this too coincidental? You're creating an alibi for yourself."
"Miss Qiao led the team out to search for the Golden Rat, but it was just a covert operation, to trick the spies into thinking the base's investigation was focused outside. She never strayed far from the base, ready to return for support at any time. Today, because of your unusual movements, she only wandered outside for a short while before quietly sneaking back to the base, waiting near the medical station. Sure enough, the Golden Rat was back again."
"Qi Junpeng, the street thugs' attack wasn't accidental, was it? You were in a secluded place yesterday and made two external communications. I'm sure you were contacting criminal gangs or thugs?"
Ye Qi said as he took out a communicator from his pocket.
The color and model are completely different from those used within the investigation system, and also different from the military communicators in the weapons depot.
"Is this something your gang uses internally?" Ye Qi placed the communicator in front of Da Qi, asking him to examine it carefully. "You're very careful. The communicator is not on you. Every time you use it, you hide it outside and bury it in the ground."
Da Qi was lying on the ground with his limbs broken, his face completely pale.
But he still said, "You...what you said is...all speculation. A communicator...can't prove anything."
Ye Qi said coldly, "So, what about the deceased family of the owner in that building? The knife marks on their bodies match the blade of the dagger you usually use."
He looked up at the base members who were watching over there and waved to someone.
"Please explain."
