The artist pulls out a weeping willow tree

Jixiang was moved as he looked at the little black duck that fell flat on its face due to excessive excitement and then rolled to his feet. He said hypocritically, "...I am so happy!"

"Gah~"

Jixiang bent down to pick up Daya, and politely but quickly took Guan Qingyue and Daya away.

"…So it's an auspicious meat duck."

"Anyway, they are all from the Meat Duck Team."

"Oh, no wonder they say that the sculpture has a profound meaning."

"It was all premeditated!"

"What? Conspiracy?"

"Shut up!"

"..."

After riding the balance car all the way back to the mecha manufacturing room, Jixiang wiped off a non-existent cold sweat.

"...From now on, you don't have to pick me up specially." Jixiang said tactfully.

"Huh?" Tears quickly gathered in Daya's red eyes that were about to fall.

"...Okay." Guan Qingyue looked at Jixiang's determined expression, then at the aggrieved Daya, and nodded hesitantly.

After comforting Daya, Jixiang left in a hurry again.

This afternoon she and her round-faced senior girl patrolled the commercial district.

The means of transportation this time was still the sidecar motorcycle. Jixiang and the round-faced senior student wore eye-catching red vests and traveled through the streets and alleys.

"...It's so lively." Jixiang sat in the sidecar with his hand on his forehead blocking the sunlight on one side, looking at the entrance of the commercial building in front of him where there were a lot of people.

"I heard that a new restaurant opened that serves super delicious food and is very affordable, so the flow of people has been particularly large during meal times recently." The round-faced senior explained while glancing at the commercial building out of the corner of her eye.

"...I think running a snack stand would be great." Jixiang murmured. After she graduated, she would go to the busiest night market in the city to run a snack stand at night!

"What snacks?" The round-faced senior student didn't hear clearly.

"...Nothing." Jixiang shook his head. It was still a bit too early to plan for graduation.

"Hmm..." The round-faced senior student suddenly pulled her bike to the side of the road and stopped. The light brain on her wrist vibrated just now. This was a special reminder she set for emergency tasks.

"...drunk and causing trouble?" The round-faced senior hurriedly read the mission message, turned to Jixiang and said, "Here comes the job."

Jixiang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but urge, "Let's go!" What are we waiting for? Let's go!

"Let's go!" The round-faced senior student smiled, started the sidecar motorcycle and sped away.

The Commercial Street Park is located at the edge of the commercial street. The park is a leisure and viewing area planned with an urban river as its center.

At this time, a large number of onlookers were gathering at a certain place in the river.

"That drunk guy just jumped down like that?"

"Yes, I heard that there were only two drunkards here at the time. The one who jumped into the river was walking and suddenly jumped in without saying a word."

"The jump was too sudden, or another drunk was startled by the sound of falling into the water, and then he realized that the person had jumped in."

"Everyone who can swim and those who can't swim have come over here, but it's been several minutes and they still haven't found the person!"

"You won't drown, will you?"

"Who knows? Don't you see the law enforcement team is handling it?"

"..."

Jixiang and the round-faced senior pushed their way through the crowd of onlookers and squeezed to the innermost part, and they almost knew the cause and effect of the incident.

The seniors from the Zhan Da Law Enforcement Team, which consisted of fourth- and fifth-year students, were the first to receive the alarm information. Because the entire planet Zhan Zi No. 9 was actually the campus of the military university Zhan Da, the police system of the No. 9 planet was mainly composed of veterans, teachers, and senior students affiliated with Zhan Da.

The team mainly composed of teachers and senior students of Zhanda is called Zhanda Law Enforcement Team, which has the authority to enforce the law with violence. The team mainly composed of veterans is generally called the Nine Star Patrol Team. This group of people is not all veterans, and there are many people with rich experience in handling cases.

After all, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Planet Nine does not have a large permanent population. Although people entering and leaving the planet have undergone various inspections, this does not mean that no one will commit crimes. However, the crime rate is indeed very low, and the alarm system will assign tasks based on the content of the alarm information.

Incidents like this one involving drunk people causing trouble are common public security issues, so they were directly assigned to the Zhanda Law Enforcement Team.

Jixiang and the round-faced senior happened to be patrolling the commercial district, so they were assigned to assist in handling the situation.

"...You two are here." The cold and beautiful senior who was standing on the shore holding a flat-panel display device nodded to Jixiang and the others and said, "We are now checking the life information inside the river, and we have also received the monitoring extraction application for the city monitoring system."

"Captain Zhou, the monitoring system's check has just come out with results, and no escapees were found." The senior standing on the other side of the cold and beautiful senior suddenly reported.

The cold and beautiful senior sister called Captain Zhou nodded and said, "Then we will continue to expand the scope of the investigation of life information inside the river."

After a pause, the cold and beautiful senior sister continued: "The monitoring system has also expanded its query range."

After that, Senior Sister Leng Yan said to Senior Sisters Jixiang and Yuan Lian: "I'll leave the crowd outside to you."

"Got it." The round-faced senior student nodded.

Next, the round-faced senior student and Jixiang politely asked the onlookers to leave five meters away, relying on the deterrence of the red vests. These red vests have nothing else to do but wander around and issue fines every day. They are responsible for all kinds of miscellaneous matters such as illegal parking, running red lights, polluting the environment, pets defecating, etc. The fines are based on the size of the incident and the degree of harm. In fact, they are quite reasonable, but still annoying.

Sometimes the public will support the above things with both hands and feet, but when they inevitably make mistakes, they may not be able to do anything. However, this is understandable. These red vests have a bottom line when doing things, and everyone is actually quite harmonious.

After Jixiang and the round-faced senior cleared the person, they returned to the river. More than ten minutes had passed but no one was found. Various channels also failed to find that the person had escaped from the river. Therefore, the law enforcement team and Jixiang could not leave for the time being.

"...Could it be possible that the people have already left?" Jixiang couldn't help but ask as he looked at the seniors who were busy with rescue missions above and below the river.

"No, all major routes out of the park are under surveillance, and the relatives and friends of the people who jumped into the river have been in contact. The surveillance footage of frequently visited places has also been retrieved, and there are no suspicious persons." A senior who was relatively free and was responsible for contacting the relatives and friends of the people who jumped into the river said to Jixiang.

Jixiang was a little disappointed when he heard that. This guy couldn't be dead, could he?

"The search for the body has also begun." The round-faced senior sister seemed to be very familiar with Captain Zhou. After the two chatted for a long time, the round-faced senior sister came back and brought the latest news.

"This is really weird!" Jixiang couldn't help but mutter.

So many technological devices have not been able to find the whereabouts of a drunkard. It really proves the saying that technology is not omnipotent, just like programs may have garbled codes and machines may have lags. Complete reliance on technology can only lead to self-destruction. This is a bloody lesson learned in the development of interstellar history.

A whole hour of nothing.

"Start manual investigation." said the cold and beautiful senior sister.
