Chapter 44 Enter the Underground and Start a Search
Chen Yuran's concept of time has always been good.
No more, no less, exactly five minutes.
She arrived with the trembling Ji Qing Yujian in her arms, and landed at the main entrance of the Beicheng Inspection Sub-bureau.
When the members of the Sixth Serious Case Team headed by Dai Hong saw Chen Yuran coming, their eyes all fell on Ji Qing who was in her arms.
A few men, okay.
The two women in the team inspected and looked straight at the scene.
Nothing.
Leaving aside the trumped-up title of civet cat, Ji Qing, who is actually a puppet cat, is as eye-catching as possible.
At first glance, it makes people feel that the eyebrows are beautiful, and people can't wait to grab it and suck two mouthfuls.
Especially Ji Qing was trembling now, his big jewel-like eyes were full of anxiety, and his well-behaved and timid appearance could make one's heart melt.
Li Jing watched Ji Qingwo trembling in Chen Yuran's arms, and grinned secretly.
In the eyes of uninformed bystanders.
Ji Qing is guilty of a common problem with domestic pet cats. When he enters a strange environment and encounters strangers, he becomes extremely uneasy and stressful.
But he knows...
Ji Qing was extremely nervous facing the members of the serious crime team.
At this moment, Ji Qing, as a humanoid monster, has ushered in the "peak of monster life."
Ordinary humanoid monsters don't even have the courage to contact the inspectors, so they hide whenever they can.
Not only did she become the focus of the high-level inspectors of the Serious Crime Squad, but she also appeared at the main entrance of the Beicheng Inspection Branch in a grand manner.
I will tell other human-shaped monsters about this matter in the future, and they will definitely give a thumbs-up and say "big sister Niu X".
Just as Li Jing thought, Ji Qing's whole cat is not well at this time.
These days, she lived quite comfortably at Chen Yuran's house, and even liked the life of keeping her ears shut.
After all, apart from having to sleep with her every night, and taking a bath with Chen Yuran from time to time, she doesn't have to do anything, just be a cat obediently, and she doesn't have to worry about anything else at all.
However, this comfortable peace was suddenly broken.
Five minutes ago, she was playing Glory of the Immortal King at home.
Chen Yuran came back suddenly and said that he needed her help with something, he hugged her and went out without explaining, and only told her about it on the way.
Ji Qing doesn't mind helping catch mice.
Although she was born as a puppet and has never caught a mouse, and her cat instinct has left her after she successfully transformed, it is not difficult for her to help find the rat monster.
During this time, she and Chen Yuran got along quite well.
What can I do for you?
But at this moment, she couldn't help but panic if she put herself in the situation.
To say that Chen Yuran is really courageous.
He insisted on saying that she was a civet and brought her to the North City Inspection Sub-bureau. If someone else saw something, she couldn't be cool on the spot?
Here, Chen Yuran came to greet everyone and spoke directly.
"Group Leader Dai, I brought the civet, shall we set off now?"
"Um."
Dai Hong nodded and said.
"Time is running out, let's hurry up. If we can't find Ji Xiumin's rat demon, things will become very difficult."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the crowd.
"Come with me, let's find a nearby manhole cover and go underground."
All members of the serious crime team heard the words and agreed, and stopped paying attention to Ji Qing.
It's business, don't delay.
...
After a while, a group of people came underground through the drainage manhole cover on the side of the road nearby.
The underground sewage drainage system in Beicheng District is quite advanced.
The pipes extend in all directions and are very spacious.
It's just that when it's underground, the environmental factors inevitably become extremely harsh.
The air in the underground pipes was filled with a disgusting rancid smell.
The ground was muddy and full of filth.
In the sewage channel, there are all kinds of seriously corrupted unknown objects floating up and down.
Fortunately, in this team, no one can talk about how delicate they are.
What is this small scene like eating patrolling food?
It is worth mentioning that.
When they got to the ground, everyone had to abandon the flying sword and choose to use the spells of Yukong and Yufeng to fly at low altitude.
After all, the underground drainage system has limited space, no matter how spacious it is, it will not be very spacious.
Jian Guang's escape speed is too fast, and it is an attack spell, so if it happens to hit something, it will be very troublesome.
Yu Kong was at the front of the team, and Dai Hong led the crowd to the direction of Beicheng Asylum, and ordered the six members of the Sixth Serious Case Team in the team.
"The underground diversion system of Beicheng Shelter has a total of four branching main roads, and 21 auxiliary roads with narrow spaces. When you arrive at the place, you two will split up and search along a main road. I will Responsible for one main road alone. Keep in touch with each other and call for backup if found."
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Yuran who was walking alongside Li Jing Yukong.
"Yuran, you and Li Jing are in a group, mainly to search for auxiliary roads that we may have missed. If your cat finds anything, please contact me as soon as possible."
"clear."
Chen Yuran nodded.
Li Jing responded with "Understood".
After receiving two responses, Dai Hong looked at everyone one by one.
"Underground combat is inevitably limited, everyone pay attention to safety. Don't be reckless, and be careful when you shoot, and try to avoid damaging the guidance system as much as possible."
...
The Beicheng Shelter is not far from the Beicheng Inspection Sub-bureau.
In just two or three minutes, everyone walked along the drainage system to directly below the shelter.
According to prior allocation.
Dai Hong and the six members of the Serious Case Six Team scattered out to search the four branched main roads of the diversion system.
Li Jing and Chen Yuran stopped where they were and did not rush to move.
I have brought Ji Qing here, so what if I don't ask her to come in handy?
When Dai Hong and the others went deep into the main road respectively, they looked at Ji Qing.
Only Li Jing and Chen Yuran were left beside him, and Ji Qing was also very down-to-earth.
Meeting the attention of the two, she sniffed around with her wrinkled pink nose, and her voice rang in their ears through sound transmission.
"It is true that there are very faint demonic auras everywhere in the pipeline. I am not sure if it is a rat demon. There are too many messy smells in this ghost place, and I can't tell them apart. But recently, there must be a lot of monsters frequenting It has been in and out of the surrounding pipes, otherwise there would not be so much evil spirit left."
After listening to Ji Qing's words, Li Jing and Chen Yuran looked at each other.
The investigation direction established by Dai Hong is to draw conclusions based on the information currently known.
Whether Ji Xiumin really planned to kidnap Yang Yongan, there is no clear evidence.
Whether or not the rat monster she controlled is in the underground channeling system is essentially just a guess.
At this moment, Ji Qing was sure that there was a demonic aura remaining in the underground channeling system, so he was really convinced.
"Ji Qing, is there a way for you to confirm the trajectory of the monster's movement based on the residual monster's energy?"
Chen Yuran asked.
"It's a bit difficult, but you can try."
Ji Qing responded, took a deep breath of the air with a strong sour smell, then snorted suddenly, bowed his head and retched.
Seeing this, Li Jing's eyes twitched.
Ji Qing sucked in this breath, probably not able to make up half of the periodic table of elements.
This time, it was really difficult for her.
Chen Yuran couldn't bear to see Ji Qing retching, and whispered.
"If you can't confirm it, don't force it too much. You are very sensitive to evil spirits, and when you get close to it, it will be natural..."
Just halfway through speaking, Ji Qing raised her head with tears in her cat eyes.
"Judging from the thinness of the remaining demonic aura, the monsters come and go very regularly. Coming from the south and going south, there are relatively clear residual demonic auras in the main road and auxiliary roads heading south."
south?
Li Jing turned his head to look, and asked Chen Yuran for confirmation.
"If I remember correctly, the Procuratorate should be on the west side of the shelter?"
"Leave that alone, let's go south and search."
Chen Yuran replied, saying.
"The west is not the direction of the procuratorate, but it may not be the direction of Ji Xiumin's hiding place."
Hearing this, Li Jing felt that it was reasonable, so he nodded and chose a south-facing side road.
