Xia Chujian curled her lip, but did not continue to retort.
She bent down and silently picked up the child.
The child had not been bathed for who knows how long, and had a sour, stinky smell about him.
Fortunately, it was a freezing winter of minus thirty degrees, and the smell was not particularly strong, still within Xia Chujian's tolerance.
The child nestled in Xia Chujian's arms, naturally finding a comfortable angle to lie on her shoulder.
Huo Yushen walked to the bottom of his fighter jet. Turning his head, he saw Quan Yuxun and Xia Chujian walking side by side, Xia Chujian still holding a dirty child.
The scene was inexplicably harmonious.
"My fighter jet is up there." Huo Yushen looked at them, "My people will take you up."
Xia Chujian was very calm at this time, thinking, she wasn't here for the first time, and finally didn't have to repeatedly emphasize that she was not a Gene Evolver.
She looked at Quan Yuxun and said sympathetically, "You're not a Gene Evolver either? It's okay, they'll take us up."
Quan Yuxun said, "I know, I just think it's faster and I'll get dizzy."
"Then close your eyes, it'll be there in the blink of an eye." Xia Chujian began to impart her experience.
"You're so familiar with it, is this not your first time here?"
"Yeah, I have experience."
Huo Yushen looked back at her, then lightly leaped and rushed into the clouds.
Soon, two Special Security Bureau staff members jumped down from the fighter jet.
The two took Quan Yuxun and Xia Chujian with the child in her arms, and together they jumped into the Bat-style Fighter Jet in the clouds.
...
It was after Xia Chujian entered Huo Yushen's Bat-style Fighter Jet with the child in her arms that she discovered that the child was still hiding the two Low-Level Nutrient Solutions she had given him.
Because when she put him down, he twisted his body, and with two clattering sounds, two Low-Level Nutrient Solutions fell from his body.
Xia Chujian: "..."
She picked up the two Low-Level Nutrient Solutions and asked the child, "You haven't eaten yet? Are you hungry?"
The child couldn't help putting his fingers in his mouth and sucking on them, obviously starving.
It seemed that the situation just now was too critical, and fear overwhelmed the feeling of hunger.
Now that it was not so dangerous, he would feel even more hungry.
Sure enough, almost everyone in Huo Yushen's office heard the child's stomach rumbling with hunger.
Xia Chujian squatted down, opened a tube of Low-Level Nutrient Solution, put it to the child's mouth, and said, "Eat it."
The child immediately gulped it down.
He was really hungry, and almost drank two-thirds of a tube of Low-Level Nutrient Solution in one breath.
You should know that Xia Chujian's Low-Level Nutrient Solution is for adult use.
In other words, an adult can eat one tube and not be hungry for a day.
And this child, who looked less than three years old, could eat two-thirds of it in one breath, which showed how hungry he was.
Xia Chujian looked at him, as if she saw herself when she was a child, and a gentle expression appeared on her face involuntarily.
She wiped his face with a wet wipe, and focused on wiping his mouth. Looking at him again, his head was nodding, and he was about to fall asleep.
Such a small child, full and satisfied, would of course want to sleep.
Xia Chujian held him and found a single sofa in Huo Yushen's office and put him on it.
For adults, a single sofa that can only seat one person, but this child can stretch his arms and legs and lie flat on it.
Quan Yuxun then said, "...Does Ms. Xia know this child well?"
Xia Chujian shook her head: "Not familiar, but I know he is an orphan, because the Mulan City Punishment Department's Duty Vehicle once tried to take him to an orphanage, but threw him down halfway, saying that his vital signs were failing. He was indeed very weak at the time."
Quan Yuxun's expression turned serious as he said, "It seems the problem in Mulan City is bigger than we thought."
Xia Chujian barely suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, thinking that Chief Quan had finally "descended to earth" and realized what kind of lives they commoners lived...
Huo Yushen ignored Quan Yuxun and Xia Chujian's conversation, lowered his eyes, and said coldly, "Regarding what happened today, because we don't have any first-hand audio or video data, and the only people alive in the plaza are you, I hope you can tell me exactly what happened in the plaza today. If necessary, I will use a lie detector."
Quan Yuxun said, "Then I'll start by throwing out a brick to attract jade."
He thought for a moment and said, "I just arrived in Mulan City this morning. My private starship is still parked in the Tian Gang of the Guiyuan Star Space Terminal. Inspector Huo can verify the time."
"Because I arrived early, I thought the friend I wanted to visit might not be awake yet, so I planned to wander around and buy some Mulan City specialties. Plaza Garden was our first stop."
Huo Yushen interrupted him, asking casually, "Does Chief Quan have such an important friend on Guiyuan Star?"
His implication was that Quan Yuxun was visiting this friend instead of spending the New Year holiday at home.
Quan Yuxun said frankly, "Inspector Huo definitely knows my friend. It's Colonel Zong Ruoan from your Special Security Bureau. Because he didn't go home this New Year, his mother, Grand Princess, was very worried about him, so she specifically asked me to come and see him."
"As a result, I hadn't been in Plaza Garden for long when suddenly the sky turned dark..."
He told everything that had happened, but he didn't mention a word about Xia Chujian killing those Gray-Robed People.
He felt that it was best for Xia Chujian to say these things herself.
He also didn't mention that those Niapula black Crows seemed to be avoiding Xia Chujian.
Actually, he didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't be 100% sure if it was related to Xia Chujian, so he didn't make any general inferences.
Because he knew that if he said it, it might bring unnecessary trouble to Xia Chujian.
At this moment, he also understood Xia Chujian's previous intention to give the credit to him and his bodyguards.
After he finished speaking, Xia Chujian emphasized the matter of the Punishment Department's Duty Vehicle crashing, "At the time, I personally saw the two Duty Vehicles that took the orphans away crash. I don't know what happened to the people inside. Cai Jie and I were going to see if any children were still alive when we saw a group of black Crows, those Niapula you mentioned, flying out of the two crashed Duty Vehicles."
Quan Yuxun nodded and said, "Ms. Xia's supplement is very comprehensive. This is something I didn't know."
Huo Yushen didn't speak, appearing to continue listening.
Xia Chujian had no choice but to add some more details from her and Ping Qiong's perspective.
At this moment, Quan Yuxun suddenly looked at his Quantum Optical Brain and said, "Inspector Huo, thank you for your help with the Fan Family matter in Da Fu Prefecture last time. I'll pay you a special visit in a few days. I have some urgent business now, can I leave now?"
Huo Yushen nodded, "Sign here, and you can leave."
Quan Yuxun walked over and signed, then turned back to Xia Chujian and said, "Ms. Xia, it was a pleasure meeting you. I hope we'll meet again someday."
As he spoke, he jumped out of the Bat-style Fighter Jet with the help of Huo Yushen's secretary, Meng Guanghui.
After he left, only Huo Yushen, Xia Chujian, and the sleeping child were left in Huo Yushen's office.
Xia Chujian bent down to pick up the child and said, "Can I leave now?"
Huo Yushen's expression was as cold as ever.
He looked at her and said softly, "Ms. Xia, do you have anything else to say?"
"...No, what else could I say?" Xia Chujian put on a look of lingering fear, "I'm so scared, almost scared to death! My heart is still pounding. I feel like my spirit has been greatly damaged, I have to go back and have a good meal to calm my nerves."
Huo Yushen: "..."
He stared at her, not beating around the bush, and said directly, "Did you kill those Gray-Robed People?"
Xia Chujian: "..."
She knew that Huo Yushen was very likely to guess that, but she didn't expect him to ask so directly.
Anyway, there was no video, if she didn't admit it, could he force a confession?
Xia Chujian also thought that Quan Yuxun had already left, and he must have taken all the weapons with him.
Although she had wiped the fingerprints off the sniper rifle, she hadn't wiped the fingerprints off the Submachine Gun, so it was fortunate that he had left.
Xia Chujian looked innocent, "Why would Inspector Huo think that? I'm just an ordinary commoner, not a Gene Evolver, with no Mental Strength to speak of."
She was playing the part of someone weak, helpless, and pitiful.
Huo Yushen: "..."
Was she trying to be glib with him?
Do you really think he had no way to prove who killed those people? Huo Yushen's expression remained unchanged, his tone even colder: "Ms. Xia, I presume Colonel Zong once told you that the Special Security Bureau has ultimate control over many of the empire's surveillance cameras."
Xia Chujian: "..."
A brave and unyielding face.
She couldn't answer, couldn't betray Colonel Zong.
Huo Yushen's tone was cold and slow, like an ice pick, slowly stabbing into the heart.
Every word made Xia Chujian panic.
Huo Yushen continued, "Although there was electromagnetic shielding at the time, the surveillance cameras in the plaza have optical lenses. Do you know what that means?"
Xia Chujian hugged the sleeping child tightly, trying to huddle together for warmth, resisting the great demon Huo Yushen's extremely cold offensive.
She obediently shook her head: "I don't know, the school didn't teach that."
Huo Yushen's face was like cold ice, the chill almost radiating out as a tangible substance: "...Of course the school taught it. High school physics had two chapters focusing on this content. Would you like me to give you a physics book so you can refresh your memory?"
This touched on Xia Chujian's weakest point.
She was humble on the spot: "Too bad, my physics grades are very poor. Even if the teacher taught it, I didn't understand."
Huo Yushen: ...What a useless student.
He withdrew his gaze, looked at the child Xia Chujian was holding, and continued, "Cameras with optical lenses are not controlled by electromagnetic shielding. Therefore, as long as my people collect and sort out the surveillance cameras in the plaza, I will know what exactly happened in the plaza at that time."
Xia Chujian's body stiffened, her lips pursed slightly.
Damn it, why do I always run into this person? Do I have a grudge against him from a past life? Xia Chujian's eyes wandered, looking at the huge oil painting on the wall behind Huo Yushen's desk.
It was impossible to tell what the painting depicted. It looked like a child's graffiti, full of abstract and chaotic lines.
On the canvas, with large blocks of black, blue, and orange distributed, the orange seemed to be spots of light, and the black was towering branches?
The blue was the background color, which seemed to have an unspeakable mysterious aura.
Huo Yushen's cold and stern voice, with an almost icy texture, sounded again: "If you confess voluntarily, I will help you keep it a secret. If the surveillance video is restored and too many people know, it will be difficult to control."
This sentence finally made Xia Chujian yield.
She lowered her head timidly: "Yes, I killed those twenty-five Gray-Robed People."
Since she had said it, she no longer concealed it, and said in a low voice: "...You don't know how bad they were!"
...
