Peacock 05(1/2)

The black soldiers were established because of a major event that happened in the royal capital district more than ten years ago, but that incident had not been reported to the Crisis Office. Lei Chi investigated it in the Crisis Office's files and it was impossible to find it.

In Bian Han's narrative, that incident happened in autumn, when people are most likely to be depressed and most likely to be uneasy.

Even in places like Wangdu District, although few people visit on weekdays and there are not much communication between different ethnic groups, the Mid-Autumn Festival is special: the underground people and semi-zombies with the most populous population in Wangdu District will receive a box of mooncakes from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention when receiving the medicine. They do not like to eat mooncakes. This food that is obviously too greasy and too sweet is no longer suitable for their alienated stomachs. So, as usual, they handed over these mooncakes to other people in Wangdu District: werewolf, sentinel guide, and other special humans who don’t know the name but look and act in strange ways.

"This is a big event in our Royal Capital District. Because of this, everyone has more contact and become more familiar with each other." Meng Yu added, "This event has been going on for many years. It can be said that it is the most important festival in the Royal Capital District besides the Spring Festival."

Werewolf and sentries who can walk around become mooncake transporters. They will receive mooncakes provided by underground people and semi-zombies, and send them to other people's homes with poorly written greeting cards.

But strangely, in a day that was no different from the joyous atmosphere in the past, attacked people appeared one after another in the royal capital district.

There were underground people, semi-zombies, and even werewolf with strong fighting power. Most of the attackers were injured, and several of them were even killed when they were discovered. The bodies were either displayed at home or still in the depths of the alley. The methods of being killed were different, as if multiple different people had resentment towards special humans at the same time, so they started to kill. For a time, the entire royal capital was panic, and people began to doubt their neighbors and even their families.

"But there was not a sentry or guide among the dead." Bian Han told Lei Chi, "so soon, they became the target of public criticism. This is not unfair, and it is indeed the sentry and guide who are attacking."

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the moon is full, the entire royal capital area is indescribable fear. With the continuous bells, sentries and guides leave their homes and wander in the streets and alleys of the royal capital area.

"Many people were injured." Bian Han recalled the scene at that time, "I was a middle school student at that time. My father didn't let me go out, but he himself wanted to go out to observe the situation. After he came back, he told me that many sentries and guides on the street were crazy."

A large number of sentries and guides who were in chaos were indiscriminately injured people in the royal capital area, and the chaos lasted for two full days. In the early morning of the third day, the Self-Defense Force composed of underground people and semi-zombies began to operate.

This is the first time in the memory of all underground and semi-zombies in the Royal Capital District that the two groups formed an alliance for some reason. The semi-zombies whose joints did not degenerate and consolidate were lightweight and were good at running and leaping. They patrolled and reconnaissed the roofs of the Royal Capital District. The semi-zombies whose joints had been solidified were in teams of five or six people, patrolling the ground slowly. Once a suspicious sentry or guide was found, they immediately notify the companions on the roof.

All the underground people were on standby under the strata, and there were dormant figures of underground people below each street. After receiving the notification from the semi-zombie people, they would quickly notify their companions in the street and start to quickly dig out the traps.

The combat power of sentry guides is far better than that of underground people and semi-zombie humans, and fighting head-on with them is not the best way to do so. But after the underground people empty the soil layer below the street, once the sentry and guide step into the thin pavement, they will immediately fall into it. The underground people use rocks and other objects to restrict the movement of sentry and guides, waiting for people who can really deal with these suspicious characters.

The one who can handle sentries and guides is undoubtedly the Crisis Office. The representatives elected by the underground and semi-zombie humans on that day were already on the way to the royal capital area. But before taking the bus to the Crisis Office, werewolf stopped them.

Werewolf is a type of special human beings whose combat power is absolutely no less than sentinels and guides. However, because most of them have a hot temper and are more difficult to manage than sentinel guides, they have always been a difficult group of people who are certified internally by crisis offices. At the same time, because the number of werewolfs is very small, they can obtain relatively few political rights. Most werewolfs are almost naturally incompatible with other ordinary humans and sentinel guides: I am also excellent, and I am also very powerful. Why do you only pay attention to sentinel guides and are unwilling to pay attention to me?

Once the report is reported to the Crisis Office, the power of the Crisis Office and a large number of sentries will surely pour into the royal capital area.

The tall and strong werewolf stopped the representatives of underground people and semi-zombies: the affairs of the royal capital area will be solved by our royal capital area themselves.

The underground and semi-zombie humans were finally convinced, and they turned around and united with the werewolf, and it took several days to control all the sentry and guides.

"But there must be a fish that escaped the net." Bian Han whispered, "For example, until now, we don't know what happened at that time, which actually caused so many people to fall into mental abnormalities. The crazy sentry and guide are only part of it, but they almost occupy half of the entire sentry guide crowd. Almost all of them are young people between the ages of twenty and thirty, and the young and older ones do not have any abnormalities."

This group of young and older sentinel guides played a very important role in controlling the rioters. It is precisely because of their help that the resentment caused by the crazy sentinel guides did not expand into resentment towards the entire group.

Xia Chun lit a seven-star mint smoke: "I remember that the big bell on the bell tower kept ringing on the Mid-Autumn Festival. There was no one on the upper floor, but the bell kept ringing, from morning to night, and it was quiet for a moment. And the weirdest thing is that a few of us werewolf children were arranged to patrol the roof with half-zombies. As long as someone approached the bell tower, the bell would stop. Once people left, it started ringing again. This matter has now become one of the most widely circulated strange stories in the royal capital area, and no one knows what was going on."

"It was knocked by the spirit." Bian Han said, "You can't see it, but I saw it upstairs."

Bian Han, who was still a middle school student, did not leave the house. He saw the little thing lying on the big bell in the bedroom window, hooking the wooden beam with his tail, and swaying the big bell with all his might - a white Arctic fox.

"I don't know who it is, but at least I haven't seen it at that time. Until today, I have never touched a sentinel with a spiritual body that is an Arctic fox." He frowned and recalled, "But the Arctic fox looked very strange. Its face didn't look like a fox... I couldn't say anything at once, but it was very weird."

The Arctic fox rang the bells on the bell tower for a day. When night fell, it slipped down from the bell tower and disappeared into the rows of buildings in the royal capital area.

After the incident subsided, Bian Han told his father about the Arctic Fox. But no matter how his father asked, the answer he got was "I have never heard of such a spiritual body."

Did the bells drive sentries and guides crazy? This incident became a knot in Bian Han's heart. The bell tower is the highest point in the royal capital area. In this small urban area, as long as the big bell on the bell tower will be heard in the entire royal capital area. Before the incident, the bell tower's bell would ring on time every morning and at 6 pm.

Bian Han later gradually figured it out: it was not that no one had seen such a spiritual body, but that the people who could see the spiritual body on the bell tower were basically only sentinels and guides. At that time, the sentinel guide had become the target of public criticism, and no one was willing to mention it again. It was the wind that was too strong that blew the big bell; it was the big bell that made the hearing-sensitive sentinels and guides feel pain and then fell into abnormal emotions.

Soon, underground people, semi-zombie humans and werewolfs officially formed the black soldiers responsible for maintaining the order of the royal capital area. The sentry and guide who gradually woke up spent a lot of effort to get the opportunity to join the black soldiers. They could not find out the whole story, and this matter became a strange mystery. It is precisely because of this incident that the contradiction between the sentry and guide among the black soldiers and the other three types of groups has always existed.

"…Wait." Lei Chi Dajue was surprised, "Someone has been killed, but you just let the whole thing go? Isn't this possible?"

"The injured were residents of the royal capital district, but those who died were all homeless people and unknown outsiders." Bian Han told him, "Maintaining stability is the most important thing. Everyone was awake at that time, so this matter was suppressed."

The big bell was still hanging from the bell tower, but it would never ring: it was firmly stuck to the wooden beam and could not swing, and the pendulum inside had been removed.

Lei Chi found that his mind could not overcome this hurdle: "...This is a murder, not an ordinary incident. I have never found out the truth, just like that..."

"The people in the royal capital district will solve the problem themselves." Bian Han said, "The impact of that matter is not as serious as you imagined. The biggest impact is the establishment of the black soldiers."

Lei Chi: "Then let me be honest. The reason why the Mid-Autumn Festival incident was suppressed and so tightly was because of the black soldiers, right? After a battle, your camps found that the energy of uniting was greater than the dispersion, and you could even maintain it in this way - or rule the royal capital. I guess, among all the agreements and exchanges established by the black soldiers, there must be one that declares that no matter what camp, no matter what camp, the incident of that year will be investigated."

As he expected, all the three black soldiers in front of him did not speak out.

None of the three of them were the first leaders, but the three of them obviously got many secrets from the previous leader - but these secrets may not contain the specific inside information of the incident that year, otherwise Bian Han would not have questions about the white Arctic fox.

The special humans gathered on the edge of the city want to establish an autonomous team, and building a team requires an opportunity. If you can't find a suitable opportunity, then create an opportunity. The deceased are all homeless people and names without names. The specific secrets were taken away by the dead first leaders, and even Meng Yu and the others could not know the complete truth. They were too young, and they were just teenage girls in their teens at that time, and they had no chance to go deep into the power level of several camps.

Lei Chi's heart moved: Ling Siyuan was 44 years old when he died, more than ten years ago... he was already a semi-zombie man who could stand alone.

"…The leader of the semi-zombie-turned humans has always been Ling Siyuan, right?" Lei Chi asked, "including when the Mid-Autumn Festival incident occurred more than ten years ago, he was already a representative of the semi-zombie-turned humans, right?"

The three people in front of them exchanged glances, and finally Meng Yu nodded: "Yes. The representative of the semi-zombie who left the royal capital area with the representative of the underground at that time and was finally stopped by the werewolf was Siyuan."

Lei Chi: "..."

The case became even more complicated: Ling Siyuan was the leader of that year, and he knew the truth about the establishment of the black soldiers. Did the murderer want to cover up something? Or did Ling Siyuan detect the new inside story and threaten the old people? But those who were already dead and disappeared completely disappeared in the royal capital area.

Lei Chi didn't expect that a random problem he had involved a new suspicion. Xiao Liu and other colleagues looked desperate: Should we also investigate all the special humans in the royal capital area?

What they regret is that there are surveillance monitors at the front door and in the bar, but the inside and exit of the safe passage were installed but not turned on. The waiter told them that this is because many people are talking about business and relationships in the bar, and when they are mature, they enter the safe passage to trade. Ling Siyuan cannot turn on the surveillance here unless he intends to annoy all the people in the royal capital who conduct illegal transactions in the passage.

If the murderer entered from outside the safe passage, it would be meaningless even if there was surveillance in the bar.

After smoking a cigarette, Xia Chun scratched her hair. "After asking, the werewolf was the most pertinent." She smiled, "Are you surprised, President?"

Lei Chi glanced at her and smiled: "Not necessarily. In addition to Attis Bar, many shops in the Bar Street are Ling Siyuan's industries. Hasn't the werewolf been expanding their territory for a while? They have had several conflicts with the people in the Bar Street, right? Ling Siyuan is the one who came out to be a peacemaker. Now that he is dead, how to divide the industries under his command is another new question."

Xia Chun's face suddenly sank, his face turned fierce, biting a mint smoke that had not yet been lit, and looked at Lei Chi silently.

"...Siyuan is a very peaceful person." Meng Yu, who had been relying on the bar, suddenly spoke, "Xia Chun's people had conflicts with other bosses in the bar street. They all went to mediate, but this could not arouse resentment. Xia Chun's people were not so unreasonable, and the bars with conflict were not all belonged to Siyuan....The others are very good. I have known him for so many years, and he has been taking care of us most of the time. The four leaders of the black soldiers, Siyuan is actually our eldest brother. We will listen to his opinions on many things, but he is not an arbitrary person."

Meng Yu's voice gradually lowered.

Xia Chun put away his cigarette. "Meng Yu is right. Siyuan is a rare and good-looking person." Xia Chun looked at Lei Chi, "If it was my werewolf, I can guarantee you that all werewolfs in the royal capital area would not be able to let the murderer go. When Siyuan was still there, everyone got along happily. The number of werewolfs has always been very small. When the black soldiers were just established, they were not valued. It was Siyuan who changed our status in the royal capital area. Without him, the werewolf would not have lived so freely in the royal capital area."

She was silent for a moment and said softly: "Lei Chi, you should be able to understand. Respect for us is too rare. Once we get it, we will be grateful for it forever. My werewolf can't do the killing of the benefactor."

"Xia Chun, your werewolf can't be made. Are there any werewolfs in the royal capital area that are not accepted by you?" Lei Chi asked.

Xia Chun was stunned and gently bit her lips.

Once Lei Chi enters the working mode, it is difficult to be moved by warm words. He can always find new loopholes in what these people say. Each loophole points to new possibilities, making the truth of the case even more confusing.

Meng Yu and Xia Chun both said that Siyuan was very good, but Bian Han didn't say anything. Lei Chi looked at him, shook his head, covered his head and whispered: "I'm having a migraine again, I'm sorry."

Seeing that his face was covered in cold sweat, Lei Chi knew that he could not ask any information after further asking, so he nodded: "Then go back and rest. If we need it, we will go to you at any time."

He did not stay in the Attis Bar for much. After inspecting the safety passage and the basement again, Lei Chi and Xiao Liu left the safety passage and walked into the obviously deserted bar street.

Outside the bar street, there are complex buildings in the royal capital area. Wild cats and dogs are searching for food in the trash can. Lei Chi looked up and saw a big bell that had lost the bell hammer hanging on the bell tower, reflecting a deserted moonlight.

The crazy sentry guide... Lei Chi sighed lightly, he had to go find Qin Ge again.

Of course, the matter of finding Qin Ge itself did not disappoint him. On the contrary, he was still looking forward to it.

"Xiao Liu." Lei Chi asked, "Do your girlfriend know what snacks girls like to eat recently? It's better to be candy, please help me ask."

Xiao Liu: “…oh.”

He picked up his cell phone with doubts and saw Lei Chi smiling at a kitten staring at the trash can in the corner of the street.

.

"You know Bai Xiaoyuan in our department. Her mental body is a sand cat." Tang Cuo gritted his teeth and pushed the handle of the chest pusher forward. The words popped out from the gaps between his teeth. "Every day I patted my face... I was swollen..."

After finishing the group, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Gao Shu and smiled: "By the way, I found that I seemed to have developed some chest muscles."

Gao Shu was originally staring at his face to see where the kitten's claws were swollen. When he heard his words, his eyes were completely out of control and fell on Tang Cuo's chest.

But to be honest, the chest muscles were not particularly obvious. Gao Shu looked blatantly and shook his head.

"Don't have pectoral muscles." Another member who was training next to him interrupted, "I think Xiao Tang's butt is much raised and his thighs are tight."

Tang Chou: "Is that true! I didn't notice it myself, Brother Zhang, you have such a good look."

High skill: “…Practice in another place.”

Tang Cuo said goodbye to the member and followed Gao Shu to the barbell area. "How did you know him?" Gao Shu asked, "I haven't seen you say a few times."

"Brother Zhang is from the Criminal Investigation Department. I met the team building last time, and later I found out that he was practicing here." Tang Zhuo wiped his face with a towel, "Isn't your gym a discount for people who handled the crisis? I guess he came because of this."

Gao Shu had no impression of this Brother Zhang. On the day of the team building, he focused most of his attention on Tang Cuo, and a small part of him focused on several colleagues in Tang Cuo's department. After all, they all wanted to establish a good relationship.

"Why do you have to give discounts to people who are dealing with the crisis if you don't deal with it?" Tang asked incorrectly.

Gao Shu: "He is not happy that I run a gym, so I will attract people from the crisis to spend money."

Tang Chou: "So naive."

Gao Shu was a little embarrassed and angry: "What did you say?"

Tang Cuo sat down with a smile, Gao Shu adjusted the barbell for him. In this moment of speaking, Tang Cuo touched his stomach and lifted up his clothes to show Gao Shu: "Let's not talk about the chest muscles, I seem to have some abdominal muscles."

Gao Shu glanced at him and quickly moved away: "Oh."

He saw it quickly. When Tang Cuo saw that he was unhappy and thought that mentioning Gao Tianyue made him unhappy, he simply changed the topic: "Coach, how many abdominal muscles do you have?"

He had a lot of contact with Gao Shu, and often went to his rooftop to eat and fish. When he spoke, his hands and feet were not honest, so he raised his hand and stretched his stomach towards Gao Shu's belly.

"Don't touch it!" Gao Shu whispered.

Tang Cuo quickly withdrew his hand: "I'm sorry."

Gao Shu usually touches him casually and will not complain at all - or rather, he is willing to show his strong muscles in front of Tang Cuo. But today it is not possible.
To be continued...
