"Now all the superpowers in the West District have reported their superpowers. I will check tomorrow..."

Cheng Jing crossed his fingers and rested them on his chin while speaking, looking much more relaxed.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing. Now that he has a clue, the inexplicable pressure in his heart has been relieved. The main reason is that he is worried about not being able to grasp the overall situation when he is traveling with Jiang Nian.

"I don't think so."

Jiang Nian shook his head lazily, picked up the remaining snacks and ate them while saying:

"It's possible to conceal supernatural powers, just like me. Of course, it's also possible that the other party only reported one attribute to confuse people... But I'm more inclined to believe that he is an ordinary person now, and he has hidden it very well."

Cheng Jing rubbed his eyebrows:

"No matter what the situation is, I will go to the command room tomorrow to talk to Zhou Li and the others. We will investigate secretly so as not to alert the enemy."

"Okay, I'll have to work with you once we find out something."

Jiang Nian looked serious, staring at her boyfriend with burning eyes. If the boy dared to refuse him again, he would take action and would definitely rub those abdominal muscles until they were bald!

"……Um."

There is no such thing as a third time. Even if Cheng Jing didn't want to, he didn't dare to refuse.

Jiang Nian knew that he was confused and pretended not to understand. In the future, they would fight side by side more often and Brother Jing would get used to it.

After half an hour, the serious discussion came to an end and it was time to relax.

Cheng Jing could only vent his unhappiness caused by worry on the bed.

Jiang Nian clearly felt that he was in some kind of emotion in bed these days, fierce and cruel, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to blame him.

The main thing is that I enjoy it myself, and it would be a bit weird to settle the accounts afterwards.

Never mind, it's nothing serious except the sore waist.

……

The next morning, Cheng Jing went to the command room and told Zhou Li and a few people in the office about the speculation he had discussed with Jiang Nian, and asked them not to publicize it.

Zhou Li naturally understood the pros and cons of the matter, and after an in-depth analysis with him, he also felt that the truth was almost certain.

He simply proposed to entrust the matter to their team to solve, and others would cooperate, and promised that any resources in the West District would be given priority to their team in the future.

Cheng Jing agreed, but after searching through the entire West District Psychic Register, just as Jiang Nian said, he found nothing useful.

A day was wasted with little progress.

Fortunately, the past two nights were peaceful.

Just when they had a clue, they got stuck again. Cheng Jing was absent-minded while eating these two days, always feeling that some obvious clues were overlooked by them.

It was not until Huang Qian called and said that except for the mother and daughter in Room 13, Building 1805, all the other previously missed residents in Jiaheyuan had been checked and no abnormalities were found.

"Why can't 1805 be checked? It's been two days."

Cheng Jing thought of the mother and daughter and the meeting that day, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

"Why else? Of course it's because that woman dragged her daughter downstairs early in the morning to wait for her husband. She went downstairs when we went there in the morning, but she didn't come home when we went there in the evening. We confirmed that the door was locked from the outside... I'm really impressed!"

Huang Qian couldn't help but complain, and then sighed:

"I'll report to you. I'll wait for her at the entrance of the command room this afternoon and go home with her."

"Just a mother and daughter, forget it..."

Because the speakerphone was on, Jiang Nian subconsciously answered the call after hearing it, but he frowned thoughtfully halfway through. After a moment, he took the phone and said to Huang Qian:

"Sister Qian, just take a rest and ignore me. Brother Jing and I will deal with it later. You must be tired after running around for a few times."

"Wow~ Niannian is indeed my sister's little cotton-padded jacket. Muah~ Bye bye then!"

"..."

There was a busy tone on the phone, and Jiang Nian finally recovered from the beauty's coquettishness and sighed helplessly:

"As expected, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive people..."

Jiang Nian sighed helplessly, put his phone aside, and explained to Cheng Jing, whose expression was indescribable:

"I just suddenly felt that we should go to Xiaoya's house to take a look..."

It’s hard to explain, it’s a sudden intuition.

The mother and daughter knew that the rescue team was searching the entire community, but they were coincidentally not at home several times when the staff came to their door. It was obviously intentional.

Even if you are emotionally unstable, this shouldn't happen.

Cheng Jing thought for a moment and said bluntly:

"I think there's something wrong with Xiaoya and her daughter."

Although the mother and daughter are indeed pitiful and weak, it does not prevent us from doubting them after applying logic.

"..."

Jiang Nian did not refute because he had the same suspicion, but when he thought back to the last time he saw Xiaoya and her daughter, he didn't find anything wrong.

If it weren't for Huang Qian's call, he wouldn't have thought of them.

Cheng Jing saw that he was confused, so he considered and said what he thought:

"You may not have noticed because you felt pity for Xiaoya. Their mother and daughter's reactions seemed normal that day. But when Xiaoya asked you for help and asked you not to go again, I was a little concerned."

"…what Xiaoya said to me?"

Jiang Nian pondered. Xiaoya only said two sentences to him:

"Brother, can you save my father?"

"Then don't come here, brother..."

The first sentence was the little girl asking him for help, and the second sentence was Xiaoya's impolite response when he was powerless to refuse.

Cheng Jing continued:

"Xiaoya's age is 12 according to her registration information. Although she looks thin, she is a fifth or sixth grader in elementary school. So she has sound logic and speech skills in general communication."

"She asked if you could save her father. The wording of this question was a bit strange. She knew her father was missing. When asking for help, you would usually say 'save' or 'find'. After all, you gave her a candy. She was just reserved at the time, not so nervous or scared that she was incoherent."

"...It seems so. Xiaoya is obviously a smart child, but her eyes look empty and a little pitiful."

Jiang Nian's expression changed after he said this. It was indeed a bit strange to think this way.

Children should be more direct in expressing their demands. Xiaoya’s words were a bit... abnormally roundabout.

Cheng Jing further analyzed:

"After you refused, she asked you not to come. At the time, I just thought she was just an unhappy child who spoke without restraint. Now that I think about it, maybe she was hinting at something, for example, her father was not out and would not come back, and she knew her father's condition, so she asked you if you could save him."

"Yup!"

Jiang Nian suddenly understood and took over the conversation:

"Because I couldn't save her father, she told me not to go anymore... Her father might have been infected by zombies when he was out one time, and she and her mother killed someone to feed her father. In order to avoid being discovered, they were always not at home when the investigators came to their house..."

That makes sense!

Even the mother and daughter going to serve as the husband-waiting stone was a disguise to confuse the audience.

"Or maybe their going out is just an illusion, because they have the ability to teleport. Like you said, they can teleport to any familiar or known place within a certain range. They don't need to go through the door, and can lock it from the outside at any time to hide from others."

After Cheng Jing finished speaking, he met Jiang Nian's gaze again, and they saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

The main thing is that although the mother and daughter were hanging around in front of them, they were too easy to be ignored.

If Huang Qian or someone else was a little bit lazy, and just looked at them pitifully and found out that they didn't open the door after checking a few times, and didn't report it, who would suspect them?
