After the incident was reported, Zong Zhengzheng's instruction was only one word: "Check."

The words were concise and to the point, but it gave Su Xian a certain degree of comfort, so he temporarily put aside other thoughts and devoted himself wholeheartedly to this investigation.

The soldiers were divided into two groups, one of which followed the ruts left by the destroyed wall, and the other was responsible for tracing the source of the victims.

It doesn't seem to be difficult, but both sides are quite difficult.

The search process of the first group can be called smooth sailing. Seventy kilometers away from the northwest, in a deserted place, they found the truck that broke through the barrier, but unfortunately, the investigation team arrived. At that time, the truck was burned to nothing but a pile of charred wreckage.

The other party's aftermath work was done impeccably, and no clues were left. It is still unknown what exactly was installed in the truck body.In desperation, the people in the first group had no choice but to send some people to stay at the scene to guard the scene, and the rest returned without success.

On the other hand, the investigation process of the second team led by Su Xian was almost the same as that of the first team - the process was very smooth, and it didn't take much effort to find the source of the batch of patients. After all, such things must be registered.

Those people were sent by the Comprehensive Management Bureau, and Su Xian brought them to visit. The person in charge of the Comprehensive Management Bureau hesitated and went around at first, with the main idea being to shirk.Su Xian was almost laughed out of anger. Fortunately, he knew the virtues of the office bureaucrats of the Comprehensive Management Bureau, and he was well prepared—before he made this trip, he sent someone to the inspection team responsible for arresting people. There, using both soft and hard tactics, they got their arrest list within three months and spent a whole night checking out the list of those who died.

He threw the list on the official's face and said with a sneer, "If you waste any more time, I won't accompany you, so I have to take this list to your superior to inquire about it."

Seeing that Tai Chi could not continue, the other party immediately turned pale, collapsed on the chair, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then said weakly: "We really sent those people there."

Su Xian remained calm: "Tell me about the time and place."

"Yesterday morning." This answer was within Su Xian's expectations. He had never been involved in this kind of work, but he knew the general process—according to the usual practice, he would choose it during the day, because relatively speaking, most alien species are active at night. The day will stop a little.The choice of morning is also to reduce trouble.

"The location is the few fixed old places, and the transportation process was smooth sailing, nothing happened, and it turned out..."

Su Xian heard his subtext: "So, the accident happened after arriving at the fixed place? Is someone ambushing there?"

The official was full of indignation: "That's right! My people were ambushed! Those people came out of nowhere. People number seven and eight were there, and they all had guns. Before the three of my men could react, they were suddenly killed." More than a dozen shots were fired, and the two died on the spot. Fortunately, there was a driver who escaped the accident before he could get out of the car, but he is still lying in the hospital right now..."

"What about the patient in the car?"

"... was taken away by them."

Su Xian looked at the other party's guilty look, and laughed angrily: "Dozens of people are missing, and two subordinates died in the line of duty. How can you sit here and drink tea as if nothing happened?"

As he spoke, he took a step forward, but the invisible but strong oppressiveness made the other party shudder: "You don't really think you can cover such a big matter, do you?"

The official was choked with nothing to say, and it took him a long time to defend himself without confidence: "I didn't want to cover it up, but I haven't figured out how to tell my superiors..."

Su Xian raised his hand to interrupt his nonsensical nonsense: "I'm not interested in the internal affairs of your department, I just want to know who is robbing the batch of patients."

The official's face showed a look of embarrassment: "I was not there at the time, and the only kid who escaped was unconscious again. I really have no way of knowing for a while..."

The corners of Su Xian's eyes twitched, but the corners of his lips rose slightly, and he stared at him with a half-smile, which made him panic, and hurriedly changed his words: "Of course, my subordinate still mentioned a few things before he fainted. Yes... But he didn't have time to say a lot, I only know the approximate number of people..."

"Number seven and eight, you mentioned it just now." Su Xian interrupted him rudely again, "Tell me something useful. For example, what weapons did they carry and what clothes did they wear?"

"Later, I had people bring back the bodies of the two dead subordinates, checked the bodies, and dug up some bullets, which were basically assault rifles." The official replied tremblingly, "As for what clothes... I I never asked..."

Su Xian twitched the corner of his mouth: "Didn't expect to ask?"

The sarcasm in his words was obvious, and the official of the Comprehensive Management Bureau was choked up and had nothing to say, so he picked up the cup in embarrassment, and took a sip of water in a disguised manner.

Seeing that he couldn't dig out any other clues, Su Xian didn't want to stay any longer. Before leaving, he asked the other party one last question: "Which hospital and ward do you stay in?"

The official was startled, and then smiled flatteringly: "He is still lying in the intensive care unit, don't worry, when he wakes up, I will notify Team Leader Su in time..."

"Hey, no need." Su Xian declined with a smile, "Your family is injured on duty, we are half of colleagues, and we should visit and express our affection."

How could the officials of the Comprehensive Management Bureau fail to understand what he meant—to put it bluntly, they were afraid that their superiors and subordinates would collude with each other and send someone to watch.

But what the other party said was high-sounding, and he had no reason to refuse, so he had to confess honestly.

After he finished speaking, his face turned ashen. After knowing that this matter had been exposed, the black gauze hat on his head was [-]% impossible to keep.

After walking out of the Comprehensive Management Bureau, Zhong Yuncong, the accompanying member of the second group, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but say: "You just asked about the outfits of the attackers... Are there any specific suspects? ?”

Su Xian glanced at him and said nothing.

Zhong Yuncong secretly sighed: Sure enough, he thought so too.

The two of them were playing charades, and they didn't have anything to say, which made the other team members dissatisfied: "Stop playing tricks, who are you suspecting?"

Su Xian let out a breath slowly: "'Shadow'."

These two words obviously made everyone gasp in unison.

Ren Jie is extremely sensitive to this notorious organization. In a sense, his father Ren Jie has fallen into the hands of "Shadow".

Lu Yuan, and another former roommate of him and Zhong Yuncong, the skinny Yang Shaowen whose whereabouts are unknown, are all inextricably linked with "Shadow".

Zhong Yuncong was also in the same mood, besides, his "fate" with "Shadow" began when he first arrived at "Island".

But this is not a good thing.He shook his head and smiled wryly.

Su Xian's suspicion is very reasonable. When he heard that the attackers were committed by a gang, he had a simultaneous association.

Although the big guys think that it is basically a certainty that this incident is caused by "Shadow", but after all, the only survivor is still in a coma, so far, it is only a very possible guess.

"Bingyi, you take Zhong to the hospital. You may not be able to touch him now. Once he wakes up, you must dig out relevant clues from his mouth." He paused, then turned his face to look at Zhong Yun again. From, "If you don't want to say it, it's up to you."

Zhong Yuncong nodded, and Bingyi lowered his jaw in response, and then asked: "Then you next..."

"Go back to the game." Su Xian's eyes were fixed, his face sank like water, "Don't we still have a member of 'Shadow' in our hands? I'm going to ask her about it."

Everyone knows who he's talking about.

"Wow, you're really here," the girl curled up lazily in the armchair, with shackles on her slender limbs. She tilted her head and looked at Su Xian who was facing her with a smile. Say, in the end you really came to beg me?"

There is a special glass between them. Fortunately, sound transmission equipment is installed in the corner so that their communication will not become difficult.

Facing the girl's nasty joke, Su Xian didn't rush to refute, but looked carefully at Yingying through the glass - after not seeing her for a while, her festering symptoms didn't get worse, which surprised him.

"After observation, we found that she seems to have taken or injected some kind of special drug, which can make her abilities continuously improve in a short period of time, but it is followed by serious side effects." He told the doctor Doctor Zhang Jibai, a non-staff member of the management bureau, asked for advice, and the latter told him, "After she was locked up tightly, the drug was stopped, and the deterioration of her symptoms was greatly reduced, but correspondingly, her supernatural powers no longer increased, and even tended to fall back.”

Su Xian was stunned: "There is still this medicine? It's quite miraculous. Is it the exclusive secret recipe of 'Shadow'?"

"Probably, that little girl didn't reveal a single word about that drug, and we don't know." Doctor Zhang glanced at him, with a warning between the lines, "You can't be greedy, right? Well, that's not a good thing."

"It's kind of true that you said it right." Su Xian shrugged jokingly, and Doctor Zhang's tone suddenly became severe: "I hope you're not serious."

Su Xian suddenly felt bored: "You really don't have a sense of humor."

Zhang Jibai was very upset: "I don't think you are, your joke is not funny at all."

Of course, whether his jokes are funny, or whether Zhang Jibai has a sense of humor is not the point, the point is that he is trying to get something out of this girl's mouth.

"It seems that the food in our Administration Bureau is pretty good." He looked at Yingying's slightly rounded cheeks and laughed, "You've gained weight."

"Tsk," Yingying looked worried, "Brother Xian, do you know that it's impolite to talk about girls like that?"

"Then I apologize to you." Su Xian was perfunctory, but the little girl didn't buy it, she snorted softly: "Okay, what's the matter, just tell me directly."

Su Xian didn't intend to make a detour either, his expression turned serious, and he sorted out the matter roughly: "How much do you know about this matter?"

"Please, I've been imprisoned by you for more than two months!" The girl put her hands on her bent knees and her small chin, with a helpless expression on her face, "I don't know anything about the outside world. It's useless."

Su Xian didn't make a sound, but his eyes were filled with suspicion.

"Do you think that I have the ability to predict, or that I can break through your defenses and contact the outside world?" Yingying changed her sitting position, her two calves protruded from the skirt, half hanging, swinging.

She let out a sneer: "If I had that ability, I would have slapped my ass and left long ago, okay? Will I miss the free food here?"

Su Xian was speechless, what she said was not unreasonable, but he still refused to give up, after all, this girl is used to being cunning.

"Your status in the organization is not low, right? Were there rumors or signs of it before?"

The girl smiled slyly: "If I tell you, can I add more food?"

Su Xian was so angry with her, he turned his head angrily: "That depends on whether the information you provide is of value."

"Stingy!" Yingying muttered, then shrugged immediately, "But I still say that, I really don't know anything about this matter. My status in 'Shadow' is not as high as you think, after all In the eyes of most people, I'm just a kid who doesn't understand anything, and not many people really take me seriously. Many things, those big bosses won't discuss with me. Besides..."

Su Xian frowned: "What?"

Yingying's smile gradually faded away, and finally there was only complete indifference left: "'Shadow' is not peaceful inside, and is also divided into several factions, who refuse to obey each other, and the drama of fighting for power and profit will be staged from time to time... After all, it is still a group of mobs .”

Su Xian didn't expect to bring up such a topic, he was very interested: "You mean, the 'Shadow' is actually not united, or even divided?"

"It's about the same." The little girl's expression and tone were sleepy, "I don't think you need to worry too much about them, maybe one day they will break up with themselves first."

Naturally, it is impossible for Su Xian to take her words seriously. In fact, his attention is elsewhere: "You just said that there are several forces in the 'Shadow' secretly wrestling and divided into different factions. The root cause should be It is because different members have different ideas, the so-called different ways do not conspire with each other. In this case, different factions must have different styles of acting... From your point of view, which faction will make this happen? ?”

His tone was rather persuasive, but unfortunately Yingying is not an ordinary child, she is quite sensitive, she raised her eyebrows: "I didn't plan to betray so completely... After all, I didn't show any benefit, just wanted me to surrender ?”

This time, Su Xian became extra generous: "If you want any benefits, you can talk about it."

The girl looked at him meaningfully for a long time before she smiled: "Including my freedom?"

He didn't change his face: "It may not be impossible."

"Hahaha! It sounds really tempting." Yingying laughed and shook her head at the same time, "Unfortunately, I really don't know anything."

Su Xianqi's teeth were itchy.
