"Ah, no way? Spare my life..."
When Zhu Yuan said this, his tone was a little uncertain and he looked a little embarrassed. The two of them had some questions when they saw this, and at this time Qingyi on the side started to explain.
"You don't know, right? Zhu Yuan is most afraid of this kind of occasion. In order to avoid coughing due to nervousness later, she drank three pots of my tea."
What Qingyi said made Zhu Yuan feel a little embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do. She really couldn't stand this kind of occasion.
But before they could continue their conversation, another sheriff came over.
"Commanders, I'm sorry to interrupt you and your guests. This is the report we just received. We've analyzed the specific coordinates of the several hollow locations that Kaluo Morong previously identified. Please review them."
As he spoke, he handed them a report and told them that Commander Bullinger would be arriving soon.
When the two heard this, they knew they had to go pick someone up, but when Qingyi noticed the location on the report, her brows furrowed slightly.
It seemed that he noticed something was wrong, but before Zhe could ask clearly, Qingyi said that there were doubts in the report, and took Zhu Yuan away first, and asked the two of them to go into the building first.
Looking at the two people leaving with serious expressions, Zhe and Ling both felt very strange. Such an abnormal situation seemed to be a very serious problem.
Moreover, the topic just now also mentioned the criminal who used EMP indiscriminately. At this time, Zhe couldn't help but suggest going to Zhu Yuan and the others to eavesdrop on the situation.
Then they came to a surprising conclusion, because the locations pointed out by the criminal were all on the route for transporting monsters today.
In addition, this EMP launcher has been specially modified for vehicle security systems. At the same time, the criminals also said that their organization has purchased sophisticated containers for storing etheric substances.
Taking all these signs into consideration, no one would believe that this organization had no idea about the monster's remains.
Although I don't know why they did this, the evidence car would be in danger.
After realizing this, Zhu Yuan immediately asked Qingyi about the location of the evidence car.
The latter also made direct inquiries with the help of the mechanical body.
Chapter 98: Evidence Stolen
Through his own confidential network, Qingyi easily obtained the location of the transport vehicle. Although the monitoring signal was delayed, the vehicle seemed to be still heading towards its destination.
However, Qingyi was puzzled to find that the vehicle had briefly stopped in the hole for 10 minutes before, although this time was not long.
But if someone planned ahead and used an EMP launcher, it wouldn't be difficult to take away the evidence.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuan immediately wanted to report the news to the bureau, but was stopped by Qingyi.
Because the evidence vehicle driving in the cavity will occasionally stop briefly due to changes in the cavity's terrain.
At this time, they did not have any conclusive evidence, so even if they reported it, the bureau would not immediately send people to the scene for investigation, but would conduct a remote analysis according to the procedures.
In addition to this, there is another point, that is, the criminals had said before that their organization had already conducted reconnaissance in advance. From this point of view, there may be a mole in the bureau.
Qingyi also thought of this and was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he suggested not to report it first. Zhu Yuan also thought it made sense.
But what to do now?
"The only solution now is for me to go to the cave myself."
As soon as Qingyi finished speaking, Zhu Yuan on the other side immediately spoke up to object.
"Wait a minute, Senior, this is not only against the rules, but also too risky."
Qingyi didn't care about Zhu Yuan's opposition, because the situation was urgent and it was not the time to think so much.
Moreover, Commander Bringer will be here soon, and Zhu Yuan needs to stay here to receive him, so only Qingyi can go.
Seeing that the commander's car had already arrived at the door of the Public Security Bureau, Qingyi no longer hesitated and handed the scene to Zhu Yuan. He then faced the sunset and prepared to head towards the cave.
Looking at Qingyi's leaving back, Zhu Yuan lowered his head, and his palms on his chest suddenly clenched, apparently he had made some kind of decision.
"To offer sacrifices to a ghost that is not one's own is flattery; to fail to act in accordance with what is right is cowardice..."
"Ok?"
Qingyi turned around with some confusion and looked at Zhu Yuan who was muttering to himself, while the latter still had his head down.
“Senior, you said that as a peace officer, it is enough to be sure that you are doing what you are supposed to do.
Although I chose this career due to the influence of my superior, it was not to repay him or to receive his praise.
I just hope I can be like him back then..."
Zhu Yuan suddenly looked at Qingyi in front of him, his eyes full of determination, and then spoke loudly.
"Senior, I'll go with you—the monster in that cave is definitely not a simple one. We must protect the evidence!
Furthermore, if Commander Bullinger were still the same commander as back then... he would surely agree with our choice."
Zhu Yuan, who said this, also walked towards the sunset with Qingyi, and behind them was Bullinger, who had just got off the car and was being interviewed by reporters with his back to them.
The setting sun at dusk shone so brightly on the two of them, which formed a sharp contrast with Bullinger, who was illuminated by the shutter light of the reporter in the shadow of the house.
But they are not the only ones standing in the sunset.
At this moment, the brother and sister who had been eavesdropping in the corner also came out.
"Brother, since the evidence is in danger, it seems we can't just stand by and watch."
"Well, let's provide the two sheriff ladies with whatever assistance we can, just like we did last time."
After making the decision, the two returned to the video store.
After a while, Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi arrived at the cave where the evidence was transported.
The two discussed that the criminal might have succeeded by now, and Zhu Yuan suggested checking the train's recorder first to find the specific location where it stopped in the cave.
The evidence is quite large, and the criminal is moving slowly with it, so he will definitely leave clues behind, which can be used to analyze the criminal's movements.
Finding the evidence car first would also confirm whether their inference was correct, so the two people who had made the decision immediately took action.
Meanwhile on the other side...
"Brother, it seems Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi want to find the evidence car first."
"Well, Fairy, is there a shortcut to the evidence truck?"
After confirming the target, Zhe directly asked Fairy if he could check it out. The latter naturally expressed his affirmative and then planned the route.
Now that the route issue has been resolved, the next step is to find a way to lure them there without being discovered.
After all, if you go out and say you want to help lead the way at this time, you will definitely be suspected.
So after a little more effort, Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi finally embarked on the route planned by Fairy.
Until they arrived in front of the evidence vehicle, the unexpectedly smooth journey even made Qingyi feel strange and suspicious.
But I don’t know who this emotion is directed at, so I can only check the evidence first.
"From the outside of the train, there's nothing unusual. There's no sign of damage or being opened. It seems we need to check the interior."
Qingyi was about to take action as he spoke, and Zhu Yuan, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.
"Well, although it's for the safety of the evidence, if we do this privately, we'll definitely have to write a self-criticism and have our wages docked in the future...
Forget it, let’s put all this aside for now. Senior, please help me unlock the car.”
At this point, there was no turning back, so Qingyi took out the key and opened the door.
But the car was not empty as imagined. The evidence box was still placed in the car with the seal still on it.
After seeing the scene in front of her, Zhu Yuan subconsciously thought that she had made a wrong judgment, but who could blame her for having Qingyi by her side?
Because the robot's computing power surpassed that of humans, Qingyi discovered that the angle of the seal on the box was offset by about three degrees, and the ethereal aura in the box was also different from that in the square.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuan became serious again.
"The criminals have indeed taken the evidence, and they went to great lengths to create the illusion that the evidence is still there. It seems they not only want to steal the evidence, but also to deceive Hand quietly."
"Well, that monster in the square must have some hidden secret..."
As Qingyi spoke, she supported her small, fair chin with her slender fingers, but just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard a sound and immediately reminded loudly.
"Zhu Yuan, be careful!"
The two men dodged quickly, and then dense bullets came from behind a nearby low wall and hit the evidence car.
Chapter 99 Avoiding Crisis
As the two men dodged the attack, the attackers on the other side became furious, and one of them even directly scolded his own companions.
"Damn it! Who made that noise just now? It made our sneak attack fail!"
"I don't know either. Suddenly a rock fell from above."
"Never mind. The intelligence says there are only two of them. Let's just take them out. It's not uncommon for sheriffs to disappear in the Hollow anyway."
Following the suggestion of one of them, all the attackers immediately rushed out and attacked Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi.
But these two were not ordinary sheriffs. The attackers were quickly knocked down, but the two men who took a short break here both frowned.
"These guys are tougher than we thought. And from what they just said, they knew we were coming and set up an ambush near the evidence truck."
Qingyi was analyzing the information he had just obtained from the attacker, while Zhu Yuan was very confused.
"What the hell is going on... Did the information about us coming out to look for evidence also get leaked?"
They had clearly gone here without reporting anything, but the other party still found out, which the two of them couldn't understand why.
But there was no time for them to continue thinking slowly. The pursuers soon found them, and because there were so many of them, the latter had to retreat first.
"Warning, multiple biological signals have been detected approaching rapidly near the sheriffs. It is recommended that both sheriffs adjust their movement direction immediately, otherwise they will come into direct contact with multiple armed individuals."
Seeing this, Zhe immediately took action, but no matter how fast he ran, Bomb's short legs still had a limited speed.
So when he arrived, Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi had already been trapped in the building by the enemy and were engaged in a tough battle.
"Fairy, think of a way quickly, we have to rescue them!"
Ling was anxiously urging Fairy, while Zhe on the other side sneaked into the building first, thinking of providing some cover for the two people inside.
So he took out the long-lost Pokéball smoke bomb, and Fairy on the other side also gave a response.
"Master, upon detection, the area where the target sheriff is located has several unstable spatial rifts. These rifts are difficult to be marked in the Universal Carrot data, but if utilized, they can help the target evacuate from his current location."
After Fairy finished speaking, Zhe asked again if there was any way to tell them the news.
The answer she got was that she could access the communicator carried by Qingyi.
Although this will expose their existence, there is no better way at the moment. After all, saving lives is the most important thing.
After the brother and sister made their decision, Fairy took immediate action.
At the same time, two people were trapped in the building on the other side...
"Damn it! The enemy has completely blocked the way out. Unless we find something to attract the enemy's attention, we have no way to escape."
Qingyi paused when he said this, and then turned his head with a serious expression.
"Zhu Yuan, if you can't find a way to escape, I'll lead the enemy away. You should hurry and escape."
"H-?! Senior, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Hearing Qingyi's words, Zhu Yuan's expression changed instantly, and he asked back angrily, but the former took the responsibility on himself at this time.
"It was me who insisted on coming to the cave to investigate today. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have risked your life. Besides, I'm not human, so even if I lost my body, it wouldn't be a big deal. But you can't."
"Wait a minute, Senior, I'm your captain, right? Even if someone needs to be responsible for what happened today, it should be me!"
Zhu Yuan was obviously unwilling to accept Qingyi's proposal. After all, for her, abandoning her companions and escaping alone was simply impossible!
"Besides, your physical functions are much better than mine. Even if we really have to choose one person to escape, your chances of survival are higher."
"Zhu Yuan, now is not the time to argue..."
Neither of them was willing to sacrifice the other, so they kept arguing and were deadlocked, and just then a hero appeared!
"That's right, you two should stop arguing."
"who?"
Qingyi looked around vigilantly, and Zhu Yuan then discovered the source of the sound.
"The voice came from the communicator. Someone cracked our encrypted channel. How did they do it?"
Zhe did not answer Zhu Yuan's question. After all, time was running out, so he just spoke out his plan directly.
"You two don't need to discuss who will be the bait. I have a solution that satisfies both parties."
