The little female is incredibly sweet and soft, healing the five evil beasts right from the start.

Chapter 151 Who is it?
Inside the study of the city lord's villa.

The other three residents are a woman in a white dress, a man in a suit, and a free-roaming orc.

The six people in the study seemed to be silently sizing each other up.

The orcs they brought couldn't come in, so they all waited in the waiting room at the villa entrance. Jiang Mian's Xiao Rong robot wasn't allowed in either, so it was left there as well.

The room was extremely quiet; no one spoke.

Until a crisp sound of the door opening came from the entrance.

Several people simultaneously looked towards the doorway.

A young man dressed in simple black Chinese-style clothes walked in slowly.

His pale face, with its stark contrast of black and white, clearly belonged to the city lord.

"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting." Zhou Qing's dark and soft eyes still shone with a gentle light.

As he spoke, he slowly walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down.

"Lord City Lord, what brings you here?" Lin Xuan asked directly. "Is it about those three alien insects from yesterday?"

Zhou Qingwen's gaze swept lightly over everyone before she slowly spoke: "As you all know, there is a rule in Baicheng that prohibits raising alien insects that are too large."

The sheer size of these Zerglings makes them as deadly as large weapons.

Jiang Mian had read the city regulations when he entered the city, and this clause did indeed exist.

Zhou Qing continued, "Well, when I sent people to investigate, that person destroyed everything very quickly, so now we don't know who in your Eleventh Alley is raising insects."

Jiang Mian paused upon hearing this. Had they really investigated? It seemed no one came to the door yesterday.

"Who else could it be but Su Xi?" a mocking voice rang out. "This crazy woman would naturally be capable of raising alien insects for the medicinal substances they contain."

The voice did not belong to Lin Xuan, but to the man in the suit.

Su Xi gave a cold laugh, her cool and dark gaze fixed on the man in the suit.

The man in the suit felt uncomfortable under Su Xi's gaze, but he still looked back at her without any attempt to hide it.

"I think it's this white tiger beastman. Even if he's gained the status of a free beastman, he probably harbors resentment towards humans and might be deliberately trying to destroy this city." The woman in the white dress looked contemptuously at the white tiger beastman sitting in the corner.

When questioned, the white tiger beastman simply uttered three words: "It wasn't me."

Then it stopped talking, probably because it didn't dare to get into conflict with humans.

Jiang Mian:......

Is this an attempt to find out who the murderer is?
Jiang Mian and Lin Xuan remained silent.

The surroundings quieted down, but the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

According to the city's regulations, anyone who raises giant alien insects will be expelled from Baicheng.

It seems a bit too much for the city lord to go to such lengths to find someone who raises alien insects, unless that person is raising more than three alien insects and there are still insects that haven't been discovered. Those undiscovered insects would pose a huge hidden danger.

The alien insects could clearly be detected by machines, but judging from the city lord's behavior, they must have failed to be detected by machines, indicating that the insects that person raised could evade machine detection.

Jiang Mian was unfamiliar with the other people and had never met them before, so he naturally didn't know who might be the insect breeder.

After a period of mutual suspicion, Zhou Qing glanced at everyone before slowly standing up: "In that case, you should all try to find out who it is yourselves, otherwise we'll just have to keep you here for a while."

He said this and then walked out.

No one dared to stop them.

Jiang Mian has been living here the shortest. The others have lived in Baicheng for several years and know that the city lord's methods are definitely not as gentle as they seem.

The study door was closed.

Lin Xuan then spoke up: "Those who raise insects, don't waste everyone's time. Just confess. At worst, you'll be expelled from Baicheng. What's the point of hiding?"

“Now that the city is besieged by strange beasts, being driven out of the city is tantamount to suicide,” Jiang Mian said slowly.

There are not only mythical beasts that run on the ground, but also those that fly in the sky.

The entire White City was shrouded in the siege of strange beasts; if they couldn't survive, everyone in the city would perish.

Even today, the sounds of intense gunfights and bombardments can still be heard at the city lord's villa.

"Oh, no wonder you didn't dare admit it," Lin Xuan said thoughtfully.

"Why make things so complicated? Let's just agree to make this white tiger beastman take the blame," the woman in the white dress said impatiently. "What are we wasting time here?"

"If you're talking about me, it's that crazy woman Su Xi. Otherwise, who would have the guts to raise insects like that?" The man in the suit stared intently at Su Xi, convinced that she was the one behind it all.

Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly. She had thought so before, but that crazy woman was so wicked that she made no attempt to hide it. Trying to hide it wouldn't be like her.

Jiang Mian thought that the city lord really knew how to set questions, making them find out who was raising insects.

She frowned and pondered for a while. She did have a way to find the person raising the insects.

That day it was a tentacle insect. From the insect's tentacles, she smelled the scent of reagent X. This reagent is difficult to remove from the hands. Adding reagent L will produce an XL green fluorescent reaction.

Jiang Mian didn't deliberately memorize it at that time. It was just that as a pharmacist, he had a keen sense of smell, and the name of the medicine would automatically appear in his mind when he smelled it. It was just a pharmacist's instinct.

However, Jiang Mian was worried that the other party might resort to desperate measures.

She has a solution, but she doesn't want to stay with insect breeders, fearing that if she speaks out, they might attack her.
Let's go find the city lord and have him control them one by one, then test them one by one.

Jiang Mian was just about to get up and go find the city lord.

A voice rang out.

“The tentacle worms that day were raised on X reagent. This reagent can keep the alien insects nutrient-rich and also put them into a dormant state. However, it is extremely difficult to remove the X element when making this reagent, while the inert X in it can react violently with L reagent to produce a green fluorescent color.” Su Xi’s hoarse and cold voice rang out. “I happen to have L reagent here. It is a harmless nutrient solution. Put your hands out and wash them with the reagent, and we will know who it is.”

The person raising the insect felt a chill run down their spine. Who would pay attention to what reagents were used to feed that alien insect? They never expected that Su Xi would notice.

The insect breeders didn't expect that reagent X would have this reaction.

"That's hilarious. You know so much about this, are you trying to play the victim?" The man in the suit sneered. "I bet you originally had this reagent, but you've already figured out how to wash it off. What kind of reagent are you going to use to frame someone else?"

“Once you get this reagent on your skin, it won’t wash off for a year, and no one has yet been able to develop a solution to remove it.” Su Xi’s voice was extremely slow and very cold, yet logical and methodical.

"Then the reagents you provided are also unreliable." The man sneered.
