Chapter 10 The Strange Case of the Missing Children
Qin Shaoyou didn't give Xue Qingshan a chance to regret it, and urged him to get the warrant.
After carefully putting it away, he said: "Brother-in-law, please tell me in detail about the case of missing children in Mianyuan County."
Now that you have accepted the task, you must be fully prepared.
In addition to equipment, understanding of the case is also a must.
"good."
Xue Qingshan suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart and introduced the case:
"According to the night watchman report in Mianyuan County, since last month, there have been many cases of missing children in Mianyuan County.
At first, the local government just regarded it as an ordinary trafficking case and sent detectives to investigate.
But not long after, all the police officers involved in the investigation died tragically at home. The death was horrific and the cause of death remains a mystery.
Only then did the local government realize that the case was not simple, and hurriedly reported it to the night watchman..."
Listening to Xue Qingshan's story, Qin Shaoyou had a general understanding of the case of missing children in Mianyuan County.
This is not a small case of two or three missing children, but a serial case involving dozens or hundreds of missing children!
And the number of missing children is still increasing!
This shows that the evil spirit of stealing children has not taken the Mianyuan County government and night watchmen seriously at all, and is still committing crimes arrogantly.
Of course, the officials and night watchmen in Mianyuan County are indeed not very effective.
Although they tried their best to investigate, their progress was slow and they were unable to find any useful clues.
Not to mention eradicating evil spirits and rescuing missing children.
The local people in Mianyuan County were panicked by this case.
Especially if you have children at home, you feel nervous and panicked, fearing that the next one to disappear will be your child.
Faced with tremendous pressure, Mianyuan County officials and night watchmen could only seek help from higher authorities.
So the case was submitted to the Demon Division of Luocheng Town.
After Xue Qingshan finished explaining the case, he added: "This is the situation. Do you have anything else to ask?"
Qin Shaoyou raised a question: "Brother-in-law, this case is a bit complicated. Even the local gangsters can't find any clues. What can I, a newbie like me, find out about it?"
Xue Qingshan had already made arrangements for this.
"Zhu Xiucai under your command is the expert investigator I assigned to you. With his help, we should be able to find clues. Besides, don't you still have me? If you really encounter difficulties, send someone back to find them.
I, I will mobilize experts to help you."
With Xue Qingshan's assurance, Qin Shaoyou felt relieved and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother-in-law. Brother-in-law is so kind."
Xue Qingshan suddenly shuddered, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.
If his sister-in-law had said this, Xue Qingshan would have felt sick all over his body, but when it came out of Qin Shaoyou's mouth, why was it so disgusting?
Xue Qingshan waved his hand in disgust: "Hurry up and pack your bags. We will set off today. Mianyuan County is urging them very urgently. As for our parents, you don't have to worry about it. I will inform you after I leave the office.
them."
"Yes." Qin Shaoyou nodded in agreement. After saying goodbye to Xue Qingshan, he went straight to the ward.
Xue Qingshan sent him out and looked at his back as he walked away. He couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Why don't our parents have another little daughter?"
Shaking his head regretfully, he turned back to the house and continued to deal with the affairs accumulated in the past two days.
Qin Shaoyou, who returned to the mission room, called his men together and told them about the mission.
Unlike Qin Shaoyou, all his subordinates were very happy when they heard that there was a mission.
Because there are rewards for completing tasks, and if you complete them well, there will be additional rewards.
In addition, you can also accumulate merit.
Whether the warriors want to be promoted to the shackles or the shackles, or whether Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma want to move from official to official, they must accumulate enough merit.
So when they heard there was a mission, they were like hungry wolves smelling blood, and their eyes turned red with excitement.
Even Monk Ma was no exception. While proclaiming the Buddha's name, he said: "Whether it is Paihuazi or Heiyi, I must save a few more!"
Of course, they also know very well that going on missions will be dangerous.
But compared with danger and monsters, they are more afraid of having no money and power.
Seeing the reaction of his men, Qin Shaoyou swallowed back the words he planned to use to boost morale.
These guys all want to scream, why do they need him to boost their morale? It's enough to boost their morale.
"Let's go and get the equipment."
Qin Shaoyou said hello and led his men out of the mission room to the arsenal.
After showing Xue Qingshan's warrant to the night watchman guarding the arsenal, they were allowed to enter.
Qin Shaoyou entered the arsenal, first looked at the equipment inside, and then ordered Zhu Xiucai and others:
"Bring a few more knives for easy replacement, and an extra pair of armor. Do you have any skills as a soldier? Pick out a few items and bring them with you. Also bring shields, crossbows, sleeve arrows, etc., whatever you can carry.
"
"ah?"
Zhu Xiucai, Ma Monk and other subordinates were a little confused.
Aren't we going to investigate the case of missing children?
Why does it look like you are going to war with a cult monster?
Is it necessary to bring so many weapons and equipment?
After hesitating for a while, Monk Ma couldn't hold it back in the end and whispered: "Sir, there is no need for us to bring so much equipment, right?"
Qin Shaoyou's attitude was very firm: "Bring it with you. It's better to have more than less, and be prepared."
Seeing this situation, Monk Ma, Zhu Xiucai and others stopped talking and followed Qin Shaoyou's request to get the equipment.
Soon, Qin Shaoyou, who took a few knives and chose two pairs of armor, noticed that the things stored in a corner of the arsenal did not look like weapons and equipment.
He raised his hand and pointed, asking the arsenal manager who was sweating coldly: "What's over there?"
The arsenal manager wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and replied: "It's flying tiger claws, incense and other sundries..."
He has been managing the arsenal for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen someone receive so many weapons and equipment.
Do you think this is a vegetable market and you came here to buy goods?
With so many weapons and equipment, do you want to turn yourself into an iron hedgehog?
However, the warrant Qin Shaoyou brought was signed by Xue Qingshan himself.
And it was also written above that Qin Shaoyou and the others were allowed to get more weapons and equipment.
Coupled with the relationship between Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan, the arsenal managers neither dared to get angry nor speak out about their "purchasing" behavior, and had to cooperate fully.
"Flying Tiger Claw? Mi Xiang?"
Qin Shaoyou thought for a while, then turned to tell Zhu Xiucai: "Go and get some and take them with you. By the way, see if there are any other useful sundries and get some."
"yes."
Zhu Xiucai nodded and accepted the order. Anyway, he already had a lot of weapons and equipment, so it was not less than this.
However, Qin Shaoyou remembered something and hurriedly added: "By the way, there are also cloud-piercing arrows for signaling, so get more of them."
"Okay." Zhu Xiucai responded.
The horse monks and warriors nearby were all surprised after hearing Qin Shaoyou's new instructions.
If you bring more cloud-penetrating arrows, they will still understand and call for reinforcements.
But what are you going to do with these things like flying tiger claws and incense?
We are here to investigate the case, not to climb over the wall and go into the hospital to pick flowers!
But Zhu Xiucai realized it again: "My lord, this is to show mercy to the enemy, so as not to be caught off guard and helpless when encountering an unexpected situation."
Then he boasted: "My lord, these arrangements are quite emblematic of the art of war and the qualifications of a famous general!"
Qin Shaoyou laughed dumbly, raised his finger and pointed at Zhu Xiucai: "As expected of a person who has read books, if you can speak, speak more."
Immediately afterwards, he called two strong men to help him and put on a pair of armor he had just received.
Then he put on a large burqa, tied up the cuffs and collar, and the armor was hidden in the burqa, making it difficult to be discovered.
While putting on the armor, Qin Shaoyou also took out a bronze mirror with talisman paper on it from his chest.
Originally, he wanted to put the bronze mirror away, but after thinking about it, he put it back on his chest.
Multiple protections, multiple levels of security.
Closer to the body and more caring.
Regarding Qin Shaoyou's behavior of wearing armor, Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others were not surprised.
In today's world, the order inside the city is relatively good, but outside the city, it is really a crisis at every step and danger everywhere.
Especially when they go to Mianyuan County, they have to cross mountains and ridges.
Even if you don't encounter evil spirits on the road, you may encounter bandits, bandits, jackals and wild beasts.
It is better to put on armor in advance than to rush when you are attacked. When the time comes, you only need to put on the helmet and rush into battle to kill the enemy.
Therefore, not only Qin Shaoyou, they also need to wear armor after getting their equipment.
"You guys get your equipment here, and I'll go to the spiritual object room to pick out some supernatural items."
After putting on his armor, Qin Shaoyou took two sleeve arrows and carried them close to his body, then gave an order and turned around to leave the arsenal.
Everyone was left looking at each other in shock.
"Did I hear you correctly? Sir, you still want to get supernatural items?"
"Are we really going to investigate a missing child case this time? Are we not going to fight a cult monster?"
Question marks emerged one after another in the minds of Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others.
The arsenal manager looked at Qin Shaoyou's retreating figure and whispered in his heart: "There must be something wrong with this person..."
