Qin Changqing didn't expect this to happen, but since it was just a routine inquiry, he was not afraid.
"May I ask why they were looking for you at that time?" The police officer took him to an office provided by the school and was quite polite to him.
"They have asked me to join the club many times." Qin Changqing answered truthfully.
"Do you know what their club mainly does?"
"The person who approached me said it was an adventure, to solve the unsolved mysteries of the empire, but I'm not interested in that, so I never agreed."
"What else did they say when they last saw you?" the police officer asked.
Qin Changqing paused, and the police officer immediately asked, "Is there anything inconvenient to say?"
"No." Qin Changqing shook his head. "He mentioned Castle Kahe to me."
Although this place name is a taboo topic among the people of the Empire, it is unusually well-known. The two police officers were stunned for a moment.
"How is the investigation going?" At this time, a man walked into the office.
Qin Changqing turned around and looked at the other person. The other person was stunned for a moment, and then, "Master!!!"
Qin Gaoren: "..."
After moving to a quiet cafe near the college, Xitu invited him to a place. The righteous policeman's face was filled with excitement. "I didn't expect we would meet here. I thought I'd never see you again!"
These words sounded like a confession, as ambiguous as they could be. If there wasn't a trace of ambiguity in the eyes of this young policeman, Qin Changqing would have suspected that he had accidentally cheated on her.
"What do you want from me?" Although he asked this, Qin Changqing actually knew what was going on.
"Um, do you have a way to treat mania?" Situ looked at him nervously, afraid that he would deny it directly.
Qin Changqing met his wide-open eyes and couldn't help laughing. This guy looked a bit like one of his former comrades-in-arms. He had a baby face and was a bit naive. He couldn't help but treat them as his younger brothers.
"What are you laughing at? Tell me quickly." Situ urged anxiously.
Qin Changqing thought about it and shook his head, "There is no way."
"You are lying!" Situ didn't believe it at all, and there was a hint of sharpness in his round eyes.
"I'm not lying." Qin Changqing took a sip of coffee. This drink was actually quite different from the coffee on Earth, and the taste was different too. However, Qin Changqing couldn't find a suitable word to translate it, so he just called it coffee. Before Xitu could speak, he continued, "I do have some ideas, but I don't have a definitive solution yet. The last time was just an accident."
Xitu finally believed what he said. After all, he didn't know much about the medical profession. "Then it seems that the direction you are thinking in is correct. You should continue in this direction."
Qin Changqing nodded in agreement, and Xitu asked curiously: "Which medical institution do you work for now? Can we exchange contact information?" Perhaps because he was naturally outgoing, he was not polite to others at all.
"Sure." Qin Changqing gave him the contact number. "I'm still just a student at the Royal Academy and haven't entered a medical institution yet."
Xitu was a bit incredulous. After all, Qin Changqing's performance that day was already remarkable in his eyes. As a descendant of the nobility, Xitu had much more experience than the average person, especially regarding the secrets of certain empires. He knew that if a solution to the mania wasn't urgently found, it would eventually erupt on a large scale, and by then it would be too late.
Speaking of the Royal Academy, Xitu regained his composure and changed the subject, "Do you think there's any truth to the disappearance of those students?"
Qin Changqing paused. He certainly didn't want to test Lan Sinian's limits, but he was very curious about General Kah. "That student mentioned Kah Castle to me at the time, and insisted that General Kah's death wasn't due to an uncontrollable supernatural power uprising... I wonder if this is of any help to you."
Xitu tsked, "What a bunch of little brats, they're always suspecting that there's a huge conspiracy going on in the country. I don't know what's going on in their heads."
Qin Changqing didn't respond. After Xitu finished speaking, he said worriedly, "These people didn't really go to Kahe Castle! That's a restricted area!"
Qin Changqing only knew about Fort Kaher's existence, which was similar to some uninhabited ruins full of strange legends in the Earth era, such as a haunted amusement park abandoned due to an accident that killed hundreds of people, or an infectious disease hospital abandoned due to a sudden large-scale death of patients. It always carried a layer of dangerous and mysterious weirdness, attracting people to risk their lives to find out the truth.
The more Xitu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He was no longer in the mood to reminisce with Qin Changqing, so he stood up and said, "I have to go now. I'll contact you next time. Today's coffee will be on my terms."
Qin Changqing didn't bother to be polite with him, "Goodbye."
The two of them didn't contact each other for a few days after that. Qin Changqing learned about this man's background and identity from Qi Feng. He came from a family of police officers and was a nobleman in the Lan royal family. In short, he was powerful, influential and rich.
Four days later, Xitu contacted Qin Changqing again. His voice sounded very tired, and the first thing he said after the call was, "They really went to Fort Kahe."
Qin Changqing was not surprised at all, but he was very curious why Xitu told him.
Sure enough, Xitu continued, "Several students who didn't go deep enough ran out, but they... all contracted mania." Xitu's voice was heavy. Although these students were asking for their own deaths, they were young and fresh lives in their twenties after all.
Qin Changqing actually wanted to go and take a look, but he felt that the police would not let him participate easily in the case.
Unexpectedly, Xitu spoke directly to him, "If it's convenient, could you please come over and take a look at them? There are still several students trapped in the castle, and we have to find out their situation."
He took the initiative to speak, but Qin Changqing felt a little embarrassed. After all, his current identity was the Queen of the Empire, and it was not good for him to go to the police station to participate in the case. But this was a good opportunity for him. He touched his wrist, wanting to see how much influence his right hand had on those black monkeys.
Once this thought came up, it was no longer possible to suppress it. After thinking it over, Qin Changqing asked Xitu to wait for his news, and then clicked on Lan Sinian's contact number and told him the truth.
"My dear, you are my queen." This was the first sentence Lan Sinian said after hearing it.
Qin Changqing thought he would not agree, and was feeling a little disappointed when he heard him continue, "Isn't it your responsibility to wholeheartedly satisfy my needs as your husband? How can you casually agree to meet other men's requests? I'll be jealous."
Qin Changqing: "..."
Her Majesty the Queen Qin Changqing directly hung up the call with her husband, and then asked Qi Feng to help him prepare the aircraft.
His Majesty the Emperor, Lan Sinian, sat at the head of the long table in the chamber, looking down at his communicator, completely oblivious to the clamor below. Even when his own queen hung up on him, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he continued to harass him with a smile, "My burning heart has been hurt by your ruthlessness. I need a kiss from the queen to heal."
Qin Changqing sat on the aircraft, supporting his chin and checking his messages, but did not reply.
His Majesty the Emperor continued to send messages, the content of which was extremely sentimental and corny, "But even if you have broken my heart, even if you are meeting and dating another man right now, even if you are always surrounded by countless lovers... you are still my only one, my beautiful queen, please don't abandon me. My heart beats for you and stops because of you. You are my star, illuminating my whole world. I will always revolve around you, and without you I will die immediately." It was accompanied by a pious emoticon.
Qin Changqing realized that even if this person ignored him, he could still put on a complete show on his own. He was quite talented. He didn't notice that his usually cold face had been tinged with a smile by the incessant messages. He replied solemnly, "Read." At the same time, he took the trouble to scroll through the emoji list and sent a arrogant emoji.
Han Hai, who was still responsible for protecting him and piloting the aircraft, caught a glimpse of his expression and glanced at the communicator on his wrist. The message from the Emperor was, "Bring an extra team of guards to protect him. Someone from the 'Sharp Knife' has intervened."
"yes."
The aircraft arrived at the police station quickly. Xitu didn't expect it to arrive so quickly and was very surprised.
The students who had been found were being held in a special room. Few people in the police station dared approach, and everyone was in a heavy mood. Qin Changqing followed Xitu to the room and saw several students in a state of agitation and frenzy, tied to special chairs and struggling desperately.
Xitu sighed beside him, "Fortunately, they are all weak students without special abilities and not very strong mental strength, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Qin Changqing frowned. These students did have a monster black monkey on their heads, but it was different from the two times he had seen it before, especially the scarlet eyes, which seemed more lively and were looking at Xitu and Hanhai standing next to him in a strange way - it was the expression of looking at food.
"Don't let anyone in, I'll show them." Qin Changqing instructed Xitu.
Hanhai didn't have time to stop him last time, but this time he frowned and said, "Sir, they are very dangerous."
"I know, don't worry." Qin Changqing would not joke with his own life. He approached the students carefully, and the manic students immediately opened their mouths and roared at him.
Qin Changqing did not immediately reach out to touch those monster black monkeys, but instead placed his fingers on the student's wrist.
At the same time, an inconspicuous aircraft landed behind a building not far from the police station. "Those students failed."
