doomsday lamb

After passing the square and passing through the gate of the inner city, Duan Qing and the others ran along the central highway of the outer city and soon arrived at the scene of the crime.

The central highway separates residential areas and military camps into two parts: east and west. The west is the civilian area of ​​the outer city, where more than 4,000 ordinary evolvers live. Most of them are old and weak and women, and some are family members of soldiers.

.

Zheng Yueying noticed that there were low shacks made of iron sheets and wooden boards everywhere. There were a lot of white garbage that had been trampled into pieces of paper on the road. From time to time, ragged children ran on it. It was probably because there was a rain yesterday.

It rained and snowed, so the ground was wet, and the white snow residue was mixed with the black sludge, slowly flowing in the simple drainage ditch, emitting a peculiar smell.

After going around the alley with nine twists and turns, Duan Qing finally saw the victim in a dilapidated house built with tarpaulin and wooden boards. She was a naked woman, lying on a black canvas with a corner rolled up.

, but it was only enough to cover half of the deceased’s chest. His pale body

The body was not only covered with dirt, but also had quite serious bruises. Viewed from a height, the deceased had high cheekbones, thin cheeks, long dry hair hanging behind his head, his eyes were half-turned, and his mouth was slightly

He opened his mouth, as if he was telling something.

Duan Qing directed Zheng Yueying to wrap the victim with the remaining canvas, then turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

Although it was a question, it was already filled with anger.

Behind her were Cao Liang, Xing Wutian and a group of soldiers with live ammunition. Although he didn't know who Duan Qing was asking, Xing Wutian still answered honestly: "It was a neighbor who found it. Probably last night, the girl picked up

I had a 'guest', and then in the morning the man disappeared, and the girl never left the house. It was only when the neighbor called her to fetch water that she discovered that the girl had run out of energy."

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Xing. Please lead someone to guard the outside and don't destroy any possible clues."

"Okay." Xing Wutian clasped his fists slightly, leaned over and got out of the shack. The victim was a woman, and it was not appropriate for him to stay indoors for a long time.

This is the corner of a civilian area, so it is very remote. The old woman who lives next door is the only witness.

"Auntie, what's going on?"

The old woman recalled: "I got up in the morning to fetch water, and we usually go together, but she didn't seem to get up today. I didn't think much about it. By noon, her doll didn't come to play, what did she want?

When I was eating, I felt something was wrong. Who knew, this person was already out of breath in the room..."

"What did you say? She has a child?" Zheng Yueying said in surprise.

"Yes, there is a boy who is over five years old." The old woman still didn't know why, "The two of them fled with me a month ago. It was really miserable along the way, there were dead people everywhere.

She and the man-eating monsters, everyone was busy running for their lives, often hungry and full. She shared all her rations with the children, and almost died of starvation on the road. It is really not easy for people to live..."

Since Duan Qing arrived, the old woman has been chattering non-stop, and she seems to be quite frightened.

"You said it would be okay if there was a man in the family. But her man had died on Advent Day for her mother and daughter. The Chen family's daughter-in-law often said that her child is her only hope now."

Zheng Yueying interrupted her anxiously: "Where is the child? Where is her child?"

"Ah", the old woman realized belatedly, "Child...this, this..."

The three people had already walked out of the house while chatting. At this time, many people had gathered outside to watch the excitement. When Duan Qing came to the open space, he heard those people whispering.

"What, it turns out to be a pheasant."

"I just said that this girl is weird. She doesn't have enough to eat every day, and she has to dress up in fancy clothes. Well, it turns out she is trying to seduce men."

"Hey, I've long thought that she looks like a prostitute, and that foxy face doesn't look serious."

"Young people today are so shameless."

"That's right, a slap can't make a difference. If you encounter something like this, why don't you think she's coquettish? How come others are fine?"

"Hehehe, no matter how clean he is, he is still a dirty bitch."

"If I were her, I would have hit my head against the wall and died."

"That's right, it would be better to die in the mouth of the black corpse from the beginning..."

Zheng Yueying looked at the last man who looked quite honest and kind even though he was dressed sloppily. It was hard to imagine that he could say such a thing.

But before he could finish speaking, a serrated blade with canine teeth flew out of the air, grazing the man's ear. The next moment, a very fine wound appeared on his cheek.

Blood continued to flow out, rolling down to the chin and forming a line.

Before Chen Xinyan went into seclusion, she had put a "microscopic" ability mark on Duan Qing, making her a servant. The tungsten steel blade that she had replaced before was also given to her for use. Now Duan Qing is no longer a handless person.

An ordinary evolver with chicken power, her strength is roughly equal to the mid-level first level of an ordinary ability user.

Duan Qing held the flying blade and walked forward step by step.

"Does it make you happy to insult a dead person?"

The man was so frightened that he didn't even dare to speak out, let alone make any answer. At the same time, the people around him immediately dispersed in a large area, for fear of being accidentally injured by the next attack. But Duan Qing did not take action again, she

Zheng Yueying stopped her and said, "Sister Qing, don't be impulsive."

Duan Qing clenched her fists and whispered: "She's just doing it for her children!"

She looked at these ugly faces, and then thought of the thin faces of the dead bodies, she felt only a sense of sadness and anger.

"Come here, check for me! We must find where the murderer and the child are!"

"There are many people in the outer city, so I'm afraid it's hard to find him." Xing Wutian thought for a while and said.

"Then increase the reward," Duan Qing said loudly, "Langya City will never tolerate such beastly behavior!"

"Understood."

At this moment, a voice suddenly floated over: "There is no need for the bounty, I know where he is."

The crowd separated to the left and right, and a girl wearing a denim jacket walked in, holding a half-sized white wolf in her arms. Although the girl smiled brightly, the people standing next to her couldn't help but feel a chill.

"Xiaoxiao! Why are you back?" Duan Qing exclaimed.

"I grew up in District 3. I am no more familiar with the nearby hospitals, pharmaceutical factories and oil and gas stations than I am, so I quickly completed my mission and came back."

"Then you said you know the murderer..."

"What a coincidence. I just came back to Fengwei Mountain this morning. I was about to exchange crystal cores for Xiaolang for some gadgets at the black market, but I bumped into someone running past in a hurry."

Yang Xiaoxiao touched Xiaolang's head, and his expression was a bit disgusting when he said this: "He is a man with empty steps, and he has a disgusting fishy smell on his body."

"I saw someone else conspiring with him in an alley, and the two of them were not having a good time." Yang Xiaoxiao glanced at Qi Jingmin with a smile in his eyes, and then said lazily: "But, I didn't see it clearly.

.”

Duan Qing asked anxiously: "Then do you know where that person is hiding?"

"Come with me." Yang Xiaoxiao jumped up to the roof and ran straight in one direction. "If you walk slowly, someone will get on first."

"Walk!"

…

The civilian area in the outer city is not big, only two kilometers in depth. It only took a few people fifteen minutes to get from the crime scene to the location indicated by Yang Xiaoxiao. It was lunch time, and most people went to the gate of the inner city and lined up.

There are only a few people left in the shantytowns receiving a daily meal of rice porridge.

Half a minute later, several people walked near a single-family wooden house and bumped into a man holding a cigarette and going out to pour out dirty water. When the man saw Duan Qing and others coming, he hurriedly poured out the water, pinched the cigarette, and turned around.

It's time to go back to the house.

"Stop!" Duan Qing shouted from a distance.

The man tried to run away, but several soldiers rushed forward and pushed him to the ground. Just when everyone thought they were done, he suddenly overturned several soldiers who were pressing him down, kicked one of them over, and then walked towards the alley.

Run to the other end.

At the critical moment, Xing Wutian stepped forward, a roll of steel wire came out of his hand, and instantly caught up with the man, trapping him like a soft rope.

Really. This time, no matter how hard the opponent tries, he can't break free.

"Come back here!" Xing Wutian held the other end of the rope and dragged the other party over hard.

The man was brought down by the huge force, his face fell to the ground, and he was covered in dirty water and mud. When he came closer, he stared at Duan Qing and others arrogantly, and the muscles in his arms swelled, ready to break free again. Unfortunately, this was after "extended plastic surgery"

"The wire rope with changed abilities is not an exaggeration to call it a binding rope. Not only is the material very tough, it can flexibly switch between hardness and softness, and it will also gradually tighten as the prisoner struggles.

After a while, the steel wire was deeply embedded in the man's flesh, causing bruises. The tied man gasped for air, and no longer had the hardness he had before.

"Ability person?" Duan Qing asked doubtfully.

"So what? There is no law that stipulates that people with abilities must live in the inner city!"

"Be honest!" Xing Wutian shouted, "Why were you running just now?"

"Why do you care if I run?" The man looked very unconvinced, "Isn't it stipulated by law that you can't run?"

Xing Wutian narrowed his eyes and said, "I think you have a guilty conscience."

"Who said that? It's nonsense. Does Langya City still have royal laws? What do you want to do by tying me up in broad daylight? You are violating human rights!"

"You killed someone." Duan Qing stared into his eyes as if stating a fact.

The man immediately looked away: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Search for me."

Duan Qing waved, and the soldiers rushed into the house one after another, looking for suspicious traces everywhere.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Breaking into people's houses!"

The man was about to stop him, but Xing Wutian pushed him to the ground and searched him. Finally, he found two silver earrings in his pocket. The style was obviously worn by women.

"What are you doing? This is...this is my wife's relic, you can't take it away!"

Duan Qing gritted her teeth angrily: "If you talk back, Mrs. Wang, you can tell me."

"Ah, yes, this is it. The Chen family's wife wears it on her ears every day. It is said that it was a token of love for the young couple back then. No matter how difficult it was, she never sold it."

Duan Qing walked closer, looked at the ability user lying in the mud, and said word by word: "Now that the matter has come to this, do you still want to be tough?"

"I...I bought this, I bought it on the black market. You can't wrongly accuse a good person."

"Didn't you just say it was your wife's relic?"

"No, no, no, I thought wrong. I drank wine yesterday and my mind was confused!"

"Lies!" Duan Qing said angrily, "Okay! You said you bought it, then we will go to the black market to identify it now. If we can't find the person, you won't be able to see the sun tomorrow!"

Xing Wutian grabbed the man and said, "Let's go! Why are you dawdling?"

"No, no, no, I did it. I admit it was me. But it was all an accident." The man said incoherently, "That bitch is for sale. It is only natural that I spend money to play with her. As for her death, it is

I wasn't careful, but there are also reasons for it."

The more the man talked, the more excited he became: "She is a slut who makes a living by selling meat. I only come to play with her because I care about her. I have paid for it, what can't I play with? Besides, everyone does it this way, and she is so

If you can't bear it, don't go out and do it."

"Absurd!" Duan Qing was furious. This obvious theory of victim guilt, evading responsibility by throwing dirty water, is not only disgusting, but also vicious. She can't wait to kill this scum and scum immediately!

"Then let me ask you - where is the child?"

"What...what kid?" The man's eyes were a little dodgey.

Duan Qing decisively took out her pistol, turned on the safety, put it on the opponent's forehead and said hysterically: "Answer me, or die now!"

"Don't, don't, don't shoot."

"explain!"

"Kill...kill."

"What did you say?" Duan Qing's eyes widened.

"I was afraid that he would scream, so I chopped him with a knife and threw his body on a rocky slope outside the city."

"You!" Duan Qing was furious, "Take him to the top of the city for me!"
