Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

After being stunned for a moment, they suddenly remembered that the young man in front of them seemed to be one of the victims of a murder case a few years ago.

However, that case can be said to have been solved perfectly, because there were no casualties and the mastermind was caught in one fell swoop.

"Thank you for the information you provided. It will be easier for us to check the past files later."

The person who spoke was a woman. Her gentle attitude and soft voice could easily make people let down their guard.

Then the General Affairs Department staff member who led Su Ping here also continued what he had just said, speaking slowly and calmly.

"When the body was found, she was curled up in a wooden box, which was buried underground outside the factory. If you don't pay attention... it would be difficult to find it."

At this point, his words stopped abruptly, because this was all he could say, and the rest would take time to develop.

Su Ping was silent, looking at the bare ground under his feet. He had noticed this when he first arrived.

The construction site of this factory is extremely remote. Not to mention people, even some wild animals and even the tenacious wild grasses have no intention of covering this place. There are only a few small clumps.

In such an environment, by chance, perhaps no one would discover that the body was buried here. Even if someone reported the case, it would be an unsolved injustice, making it difficult for investigators to start.

Su Ping thanked him again and did not want to continue talking. If it was not a question that he had to answer, he probably would not want to speak now.

There was no sadness, no fear, and no self-pity. Su Ping seemed to have no surprise about this matter from beginning to end.

But they are friends after all. No matter how ordinary friends they are, it is really strange that the mood of the living person remains unchanged even though the person has left this world.

Su Ping was not a heartless person. In the end, he could not figure it out. Su Ping attributed it to the fact that it happened too suddenly, so his heart did not catch up and he stopped thinking about it.

After much thought, Su Ping still had no result. He sighed softly, which was seen as regret and pity by others.

It was very quiet on his side, but the scene elsewhere was completely different. Crying and pounding the ground, tears streaming down the face of the elderly or sobbing in the middle-aged, were the expressions of the parents and husbands of the other two deceased.

"Daughter! How can I live if you leave?" The woman with half of her hair turned gray and cried hoarsely. The whispers coming out of her mouth were the dependence of a woman who would never wake up again.

The middle-aged man standing next to the woman said nothing, but tears were welling up in his eyes that showed the vicissitudes of life. He looked at the moon-white cloth, old memories flooded his heart, and tears burst out silently.

On the other side, a man in his prime held his head with one hand and covered his face with the other, as if he didn't want to lose face in the eyes of outsiders.

But he didn't look outside and had no intention of looking, so he had no idea that his clothes had already been soaked. How could he know that no one would laugh at him for being cowardly.

This made Su Ping's side even more touching. They couldn't understand why a young man had to go through such pain to appear so calm when facing the death of his loved ones.

He waited silently for an unknown amount of time. When someone handed Su Ping a lunch box, he came back to his senses.

"Here, this is distributed by the team, everyone gets one." The person who came was the staff member who played the good guy yesterday, and he was holding three lunch boxes in both hands.

After Su Ping took it, he thanked him as usual and took the lunch box with both hands.

"Let's go." The man turned around and took two steps. When he realized that no one was following him, he turned back and said, "Come on, do you want to eat standing here?"

Su Ping opened his mouth slightly, speechless, and followed him to the edge of the factory.

The man sat by the wall, like he had some unused materials after building a house. After he sat down, he opened the lid of his lunch box and was about to start eating, but he saw Su Ping still standing and raised his eyebrows.

"Sit down, why are you standing all the time?"

Su Ping sat down after hearing this and opened a box lunch. It was a simple meal consisting of one rice, one meat, one vegetable, and a boiled egg. It was the most common lunch for working people.

"You called me here, is there something wrong?" Su Ping couldn't help asking.

"It's okay. Does it have to be something special for the General Affairs Department to look for you? If that's the case, I'll go crazy!" He spoke in a clear and loud voice with chewed meat in his mouth.

Su Ping hesitated for a moment, then said, "You called me here, and I thought you had something to ask me."

"You're overthinking it. We just gave you a lunch box and found a place to eat. You've been standing for almost the whole morning. Aren't your legs sore?"

"Of course it's sour, I'm just used to it... I set up a stall in the snack street, and it usually takes a whole day to set up one stall."

"You've worked hard, so where is your position? The General Affairs Department is busy all day long. I haven't been to the snack street for a few years. I'll go and show my support for you someday when I have time."

His eyes rolled, and he said thoughtfully, "We are acquainted now. Can you give me a discount or a small gift when I buy something for you? It doesn't have to be much, just a little bit will do!"

"Okay." Su Ping nodded, looking well-behaved and sensible, even a little inexplicably cute.

He smiled, looked at the lunch box in Su Ping's hand that was opened but not touched, and asked, "Why don't you eat it? Is the food not to your liking?"

"No." Su Ping replied, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, and also had a mouthful of rice. Judging from his expression, he was enjoying it very much.

"That's fine." He turned around, and suddenly there was a shadow in front of him. Without even raising his head, he said, "The lunch box is beside you, but you two won't sit down until I tell you, right?"

Before he finished speaking, the shadow in front of him disappeared, and a figure appeared on the pile of bricks, also holding a lunch box in his hand. It was the man who played the villain yesterday.

The moment he opened the lunch box, picked up a piece of grilled tiger fish and put it into his mouth, the person who played the good guy laughed as if he had succeeded.

"Do you know how much effort I put into replacing eggs with fish for you, my good partner who can't eat eggs? And after you ate it, you didn't even say thank you or show me a good face. Do you think I'm a brick?"

"After all, we have been partners for so many years. I am the one who takes care of you every time we go on a mission. Otherwise, you would just look at the eggs in your lunch box and complain about everything and feel miserable."

"You don't know how to cherish such a good partner like me, and you have to force me to leave. When the time comes, no one will take care of you, and you won't even have a place to cry about your regrets!"

Facing this chatterbox, the guy who played the bad guy didn't change his expression. After he finished the fish in the lunch box, he spoke softly, uttering each word one by one.

"You don't have to change. I've never complained. I've never failed to cherish you. You won't leave."

"That's not necessarily true. If you push me to the limit one day, there won't be anything I can't do." The cheerful man snorted after taking two mouthfuls of food.

The man of few words remained calm and said only one word, "Let's go."

"You really understand me." The cheerful man half-closed his eyes, scratched his cheek, and muttered helplessly.

It looked like they had a good understanding and could communicate fluently. The two of them must know each other very well to be able to do this.

Su Ping glanced at his own lunch box, then secretly glanced at the very cheerful man's lunch box and found that theirs were the same, except that the other man had replaced the eggs with fish.

After a little thought in his mind, Su Ping looked at the two of them and said slowly: "Since we say we know each other, I still don't know your names."

"My last name is Li, the Li in Muzi, Li Jin." The person who answered Su Ping's question was, of course, the more cheerful one.

"Li..." Su Ping murmured in a low voice, recalling his entanglement with a man named Li. It was an unexpected experience in which an enemy turned into a friend.

Li Jin saw through his daydreaming and explained, "Although it is Li, he is not the Li of Qinglian Jushi Shixian, nor is he the Li you have been friends with. He is just an ordinary, unremarkable Li."

"Li Jin...Brother." Although the other party was at least ten years older than him, his cheerful and lively personality made Su Ping unable to call him uncle, so he could only call him brother.

"Yes." Li Jin nodded slightly, then spread his palm in front of his partner and said slowly, "This is my partner, a silly brother who needs to be taken care of by a good brother like me. His last name is Li, the same as mine, Li Cheng, which means Cheng in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division."

Li Cheng listened to this lengthy introduction, turned his head and looked at Su Ping without changing his expression. Without even glancing at his partner, he nodded and said, "Li Cheng."

"My name is Su Ping."

"We know." It was Li Jin who responded to him.

"I know you know."

"Then why did you tell us?"

"I know you know it, but just because you know it doesn't mean I won't tell you. It's a necessary step in getting to know each other."

"Since you know... ahem, forget it." Li Jin cleared his throat. He thought that it was because he didn't want to bully the little boy's verbal expression ability. It was definitely not because of the gaze of his partner behind him, absolutely not.

Su Ping closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again. The light in his eyes reappeared, without the faint loneliness caused by depression and unhappiness just now.

When minds are connected and thoughts are clear, thinking will be much faster. Su Ping looked at the two of them eating happily and couldn't help but say something that surprised them.

"Are you two brothers?"

"no!"

The answer was so straightforward and clear, without any hesitation, that even Li Cheng, who was always frugal with words, denied it.

"Then this tacit understanding is really rare."

"That's right." This time, only Li Jin answered.

Su Ping asked again: "Tell me why Sister Ganyu sent you here!"

"Send us to keep an eye on you to prevent anything from happening." Li Jin said frankly without hiding anything.

"When?"

"It was just the notice last night. But this lunch box is for everyone. I didn't make any special arrangements for you!"

"I know that...otherwise I wouldn't sit on a brick to eat."

"The boy is a wise man!"

After some chatting and laughing, they finished their lunch and the pair left to continue working.

Before leaving, Li Jin told Su Ping, "The interrogation will yield results this afternoon, or at the latest tonight. If you don't mind, just wait here."
