Chapter 151 Who is it
Inside the study of the city lord's villa.
The other three residents were a woman in a white dress, a man in a suit, and a free orc male.
The six people in the study seemed to look at each other silently.
The orcs they brought with them were not allowed to come in, so they were all waiting in the waiting room at the entrance of the villa. Jiang Mian's Xiaorong robot was not allowed to be brought in, so it was also left there.
The room was extremely quiet and no one spoke.
Until there was a crisp sound of the door opening.
Several people looked towards the door at the same time.
A young man in a simple Chinese-style black shirt and black pants walked in slowly.
The pale face with clear black and white is obviously the city lord.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Zhou Qing's dark and soft eyes were still filled with a warm light.
As he spoke, he slowly walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down.
"Lord City Lord, what brings us here?" Lin Xuan asked directly. "Is it about those three alien insects yesterday?"
Zhou Qing's gentle gaze swept over the crowd before he slowly spoke, "Everyone should know that there's a rule in Baicheng that forbids raising overly large alien insects."
The huge size of the Zerg can make their killing power comparable to that of large weapons.
Jiang Mian had read the city regulations when he entered the city, and there was indeed this clause.
Zhou Qing continued, "Well, when I sent someone to investigate, that person quickly destroyed everything. So now I don't know who in Lane 11 is raising insects."
Jiang Mian paused when he heard this. Did he really investigate? It seemed like no one came to the door yesterday.
"Who else could it be but Su Xi?" a sarcastic voice rang out. "This crazy woman is raising alien insects for the medicinal substances they carry."
This voice was naturally not Lin Xuan's, but that of the man in the suit.
Su Xi sneered and stared at the man in the suit with a cold and dark gaze.
The man in the suit felt uncomfortable being stared at by Su Xi, but he still looked back at her without hesitation.
"I think it's this White Tiger Orc. Even though he has obtained the status of a free orc, he probably still holds a grudge against humans and might even want to destroy this city on purpose." The woman in the white dress looked at the White Tiger Orc sitting in the corner with contempt.
Being questioned, the White Tiger Orc just silently said three words: "It's not me."
Then he stopped talking, probably not daring to conflict with humans.
Jiang Mian:......
Are we trying to find out who the murderer is?
Jiang Mian and Lin Xuan didn't say anything.
The surroundings became quiet, but the atmosphere was a little tense.
According to the city regulations, anyone who raises giant alien insects will be expelled from White City.
It is too much of a fuss for the city lord to go to such great lengths to find a person who raises alien insects, unless that person has raised more than three alien insects and there are still insects that have not been discovered. Then the undiscovered insects will hide great hidden dangers.
The alien insects can obviously be detected by machines, but judging from the city lord's appearance, these alien insects should not have been detected by the machine, which means that the insects raised by that person can avoid machine detection.
Jiang Mian was not familiar with the other people and had never seen them before, so naturally he didn't know who might be the one raising insects.
This way they will be suspicious of each other for a while.
Zhou Qing glanced at everyone before slowly standing up: "In that case, everyone should find a way to find out who it is, otherwise you will have to stay here for a while."
He said this and walked out.
No one dared to stop him.
Jiang Mian has lived here the shortest time. The others have lived in Baicheng for several years. They all know the city lord's methods, which are definitely not as gentle as they appear.
The study door was closed.
Lin Xuan then spoke up, "Those who raise insects, stop wasting everyone's time and just confess. The worst that can happen is you'll be expelled from Baicheng. What's there to hide?"
"Now that strange beasts are surrounding the city, being driven out of the city now is tantamount to committing suicide." Jiang Mian spoke slowly.
There are not only strange beasts running on the ground, but also flying in the sky.
The entire White City was surrounded by strange beasts. If the people in the city couldn't survive, they would be doomed.
Today, in the city lord's villa, one can still hear the fierce sounds of gunfire and bombing.
"Oh, no wonder you dare not admit it." Lin Xuan said thoughtfully.
"Why go to all that trouble? We can just let this white tiger beastman take the blame." The woman in the white dress said impatiently, "What are we wasting time on here?"
"If you want to blame me, it's this crazy woman Su Xi. Otherwise, who would have the guts to be so crazy as to raise insects?" The man in the suit stared at Su Xi, thinking that it was Su Xi's doing.
Lin Xuan's mouth curled up slightly. She had thought so before, but that crazy woman was so bad that she didn't hide it at all. It didn't seem like that crazy woman's style to try to hide it.
Jiang Mian thought that the city lord was really good at giving them a task, asking them to find out who was raising insects.
She frowned and thought for a while. She actually had a way to find out who was raising the insects.
The one that day was a tentacle alien insect. She smelled the scent of reagent X from the tentacles of the alien insect. This reagent was difficult to remove once it stuck to her hands. Adding reagent L would produce an XL green fluorescent reaction.
Jiang Mian naturally didn't try to remember it at that time, but as a pharmacist, he was so sensitive that the potion would automatically appear in his mind the moment he smelled it. It was just a pharmacist's instinct.
However, Jiang Mian was worried that the other party would become desperate.
She has a way, but she doesn't want to stay with the person who raises insects. She is afraid that if she tells him, he will come up and fight with her.
It’s better to go find the city lord and have him control them one by one, and then test them one by one.
Jiang Mian was just about to get up and go find the city lord.
A voice rang out.
"The tentacle worms that day were fed Reagent X. This reagent keeps the worms nourished and puts them to sleep. However, the X element is extremely difficult to remove when making this reagent, and the inert X reacts violently with Reagent L, producing a fluorescent green color." Su Xi's hoarse, cold voice sounded, "I happen to have Reagent L here. It's a harmless nutrient solution. Let your hands out and wash them with the reagent, and you'll know who it is."
The person who raised the insects felt a pang in his heart. Who would pay attention to what reagents were used to feed the alien insects? He didn't expect that Su Xi, a woman, actually noticed it.
The insect breeder didn't expect that Reagent X would have this reaction.
"That's hilarious! You know so much about this, aren't you just the thief crying 'stop thief'?" The man in the suit sneered. "I guess you already had this reagent on hand, but you've already found a way to wash it off. So what are you using to frame someone else?"
"Once contaminated with this reagent, it will take a year to wash off, and no one has yet developed a drug that can wash it off." Su Xi's voice was extremely slow and cold, but orderly.
"Then the reagent you gave me is not trustworthy either." The man sneered.
