When Xi Qing got the news, it was already two hours later. The noise in the starship was too loud. Xi Qing realized from his meditation that he had just woken up when he heard many people talking about the "fire" "Royalty".
"What's wrong?" Xi Qing asked.
The person in charge specially came here with Xi Qing today. The two seats were next to each other. Upon hearing this, he replied: "There is a problem with the energy stone mine mined by the royal family, and a fire broke out."
"Fire!?"
Xi Qing immediately regained his energy. At that time, Huo Yan told him that there was purple water in it, and as long as it was mined, it would spontaneously ignite and cause a fire. Xi Qing originally thought that the royal family would have to wait a few days before mining, but he did not expect that it would start today.
He quickly turned on the optical computer, clicked on the star network and looked it up, without Xi Qing deliberately looking for it. Now the Internet is full of reports about the fire, and you can see it by clicking on it.
As we all know, the ignition point of purple water is very low, and because of its own particularity, it will be extremely difficult to extinguish if it catches fire, so every time before energy stones are mined, there will be special firefighters waiting by the side in case of emergency.
This time, because it was a mining ceremony conducted by the royal family, in order to prevent accidents, the emperor also specially dispatched troops.
As a result, the army's response was really timely. Before the fire became bigger, the fire was brought under control very quickly. Except for the place where the rock formation was destroyed, there were no large-scale fires in other locations.
The personnel who came to participate in the mining ceremony did not suffer too much harm, and were quickly evacuated under the command of the army.
It seems that there is not much loss, but before everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly heard the emperor's continuous exclamation.
When everyone pushed through the weeds and found the emperor, he just stood up from the ground, his whole body was in a state of disarray, especially the top of his head, which still smelled of being burnt by fire.
"What's going on?" Everyone was shocked.
The emperor had a gloomy face. Just now he turned around and ran the next second he realized that the situation was wrong, and retreated far ahead of everyone, but for some reason, Mars scurrying around seemed to have grown legs, which was very accurate flew over his head.
The scorching heat came from the top of his head, and the emperor turned pale with fright, and immediately threw himself on the ground, slapping his hands constantly, trying to put out the fire on his head. In the end, the fire was indeed extinguished, but it was also seen by everyone He looked embarrassed.
The emperor snorted coldly, and was about to say a few words to save his face, and when he ordered everyone not to tell the story, he suddenly saw someone in front of him saying in surprise, "Your hair..."
The emperor hastily stretched out his hand to touch his hair anxiously, only to find that there was nothing under his hand, only some scorched and stiff things.
A bad premonition quickly came to his mind, and he stretched out his hand to pull it, and felt a tingling pain, as if someone's hair was being pulled violently.
Only then did the emperor realize that even though the spark was extinguished just now, all his hair was also burnt away!
Immediately, he was so angry that he was about to lose his breath, but at this moment, a howl sounded from not far away, and the emperor turned around suddenly, and saw on the other side, Yu Jie's right leg was being crushed by a collapsed The big tree pressed down, and the pain was about to pass out.
Someone called an emergency immediately, but it was too late. Not only the emperor's hair, but also Yu Jie's right leg were not saved.
What made the emperor even more worried was that even though he had asked people to block online comments on this matter as soon as he realized it, it was still too late. Countless media seemed to have agreed, and when the incident happened, One report after another has been sent out in a second.
Now, everyone knows about the fire.
And because the royal family wanted to take advantage of this event to improve their image in the hearts of the public before mining, and had already publicized this matter 360 degrees without dead ends. Even if they live on the eighth planet, they never Everyone on the Internet already knows it.
The emperor originally thought that the more spread the word, the more people would praise his merit, but he never expected that the merit would turn into a disaster. him.
Anyone who lives in the interstellar world knows how terrifying purple water is. There was once a fire caused by purple water that killed tens of thousands of people overnight. It was everyone's nightmare.
So when disaster strikes again, everyone starts to blame the royal family and blame them for not being fully prepared in advance.
And everyone knows that since purple water and energy stones cannot be distinguished, in order to prevent accidents when energy stones are mined and found to be purple water, no one dares to let too many people watch before mining, at most they will only call one or two people Go find out the situation first.
However, the royal family made great fanfare, fearing that the number of people who came would not be the same, and summoned 200 people to participate in the mining ceremony.
Forget about this, what made the crowd most angry was that not only did they not evacuate immediately after the engineer had given a warning, but Yu Jie also severely scolded the engineer in front of everyone.
In this case, the royal family's previous publicity for themselves became the last straw that crushed them.
The wider the story spread, the more people scolded them.
Three-year-olds understand the truth, but ignore it because of their complacency and eagerness for quick success. This is their ignorance and stupidity!
Hearing the report of his subordinates, the emperor immediately became enraged and his eyes darkened. He immediately wanted to rush into the operating room and beat Yu Jie violently.
But even so, there was nothing he could do, he could only wave his hands dejectedly, and let his subordinates quickly deal with the aftermath.
Because he ordered the media to send out the press release as soon as the incident happened, Huo Yan basically knew about it with the masses.
"Because of your prior arrangements, the loss has been minimized. Except for the royal family, the damage caused by the fire is basically negligible." Shen Jian said.
Huo Yan knew the dangers of Zishui, and also knew how much psychological shadow this incident left on people, so even if he used this method to deal with the royal family, he was fully prepared. After all, he would not use the ecological environment and other People's interests are a joke.
The troops who went to the scene, as well as various emergency plans, were made by Huo Yan with his subordinates, and Jiang Shun ordered them to go on.
As for the engineer, he had someone remind him in advance that if something was wrong, he should evacuate immediately, and don't recklessly hurt himself because of the royal family's instructions.
Even for the final evacuation, Huo Yan arranged a lot of people to mix in the crowd in advance. If any problem occurs, the crowd will be evacuated immediately, so that no one will be surprised.
Therefore, Shen Jian was not surprised at all that there was almost zero loss. After all, Huo Yan had already arranged everything, but when he saw the tragic situation of the emperor and Yu Jie, he couldn't help being stunned.
"Marshal, is that your arrangement?" Shen Jian was a little puzzled, after all, these two things were not involved in the plan Huo Yan told him.
"No."
Using fire to hurt people is very likely to cause other force majeure problems and affect other people, so Huo Yan didn't intend to make a fuss about it from the beginning.
Yu Jie and the emperor deserved what happened to them.
After receiving Huo Yan's reply, Shen Jian endured and endured, finally couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
Heidi looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong with you?"
"I really want to see the emperor now, I have never thought about it that way."
He gritted his teeth angrily when he thought of what the emperor had done to them all these years, what he had done secretly to the marshal, and Yu Jie, that idiot who used chicken feathers as arrows and kept making trouble for them.
Now that this kind of thing happens, it's obviously God's eyes, it's so refreshing!
-
After reading the comments on the Internet, Xi Qing sent a message to Huo Yan, asking him if everything was going well.
However, Huo Yan must have something to do, so he didn't respond right away.
"Mr. Xi, we are here." The person in charge said.
It's already noon, but Xi Qing didn't have time to eat, so he found a car with the person in charge and hurried to the branch of the First Orchard on the eighth planet. The information was brought up.
"It's this person, because there are too many people who bought it, we went there to check it out." The clerk said.
He pointed to a photo of a middle-aged man with glasses. According to the clerk, this was the mayor of the town who bought all the corn stocks.
Xi Qing thought about it seriously, and found that he had no impression of this person at all.
"Where is the town?" He looked at the clerk.
"I'll take you there."
The economy of the eighth planet is underdeveloped, and the transportation is not convenient. After half an hour, they arrived at their destination.
Looking at the location shown on the map, Xi Qing frowned. This place is far from the address that the blogger named Bubu sent him to buy corn.
After such a distance, isn't there a problem here?
Seeing Xi Qing frowning, the person in charge asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go down."
The moment Xi Qing got off the car, Huo Yan also sent Shen Jian the location of this place.
This town is small, but it has a large population. The dilapidated residential buildings are almost full of people. Seeing those people with shabby clothes and tired looks, Xi Qing finds it strange.
"This is not like someone who can afford corn." The person in charge said in a low voice.
Xi Qing nodded. After asking several people for the mayor's address, they found a somewhat dilapidated anti-theft door and knocked on it.
"Who are you?" The mayor quickly came to open the door. At first he didn't recognize Cheng Qing and the person in charge. He didn't realize until he saw the clerk: "Why are you here again? Hasn't the money been settled?"
Just as the clerk was about to ask, Xi Qing hurried ahead of him and said with a smile: "It has already been settled, but our store has a one-time discount for customers who buy in bulk at one time, and there will be gifts after filling out the questionnaire. "
With that said, Xi Qing opened the backpack, and there were ten good-quality corns in it.
The mayor stared straight at the corn, stared at Xi Qing and the others for a few seconds, and then turned away: "Come in, give me the questionnaire, and leave as soon as you finish filling it out."
"Don't worry, the questionnaire is already bound on the optical brain. After we ask you to answer it, we will fill it in." Xi Qing said.
The mayor nodded: "Okay, just ask."
The staff looked at Xi Qing in a daze, a little confused, he didn't have any questionnaires in his hand.
Xi Qing smiled and looked at him: "Just give me your optical brain."
The person in charge nodded, the clerk took off the optical computer and opened it, and handed it over. Xi Qing casually clicked and found a document full of text. After confirming that the content on it could not be seen from the perspective of the mayor, he started to pretend to be serious. asked.
"Before asking, please take a photo of your interstellar certificate, we need to file it here."
This requirement is not too much, no matter where the gift is received, identity verification must be carried out.
The mayor nodded, took out the ID from the room, Xi Qing returned it to him after a glance, and began to ask: "First question, how many people are there in your town?"
"650 three."
"What is the income per capita, per month."
The mayor was a little wary: "Why do you ask this?"
Xi Qing smiled at him: "It's just to investigate the purchasing power of our customers, so that we can launch subsequent products. Don't worry, we have conducted questionnaires on other planets, just because the location of the eighth planet is too remote. , there are many inconveniences, so it has been delayed until today."
The mayor: "I don't know the details. In the last national income survey, it was around [-]." In fact, this can also be found by checking. The mayor thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong.
Xi Qing: "What kind of work do you mainly do?"
The mayor looked at Xi Qing suspiciously: "Isn't this involving sex?"
"Okay, let me change the question." Xi Qing didn't press the question, but continued to smile and said, "Are there any foreigners in the town recently?"
The mayor immediately changed his face: "No. I'm not feeling well, and I want to rest. You guys go first, I don't want the gift."
Xi Qing looked at him: "Are you sure you don't want it? This is 20 yuan."
"What do you mean?"
The person in charge and the clerk on the side were also a little puzzled.
Xi Qing said unhurriedly: "You resell corn at the price of 20 heads. There are exactly ten heads here, isn't it exactly [-]?"
The mayor's face was livid: "I don't know what you are talking about, when did we resell the corn?"
"What about your corn?"
Mayor: "It's finished."
Xi Qing felt that this person's words were full of loopholes: "There are so many people in your town, a total of 500 people bought corn, and you don't even ask a question, you know they have finished eating?"
The mayor gritted his teeth: "I didn't talk about them, I said myself. You want to know if they have finished eating. Why do you ask me?"
He stood up from the chair and shouted loudly: "I don't think you came here for any gifts. You get out of here. If you don't get out, I'll call the police!"
Xi Qing nodded leisurely: "It's okay to call the police, just let the police catch you people who violated the law."
When buying corn, the pre-purchase terms are clearly signed, as long as there is an act of reselling corn, it is illegal.
The mayor's expression froze: "You fart! You're the one who violated the law!"
Knowing that he would not admit it, Xi Qing pointed his fingers at the desktop: "In a town of more than 600 people, the average monthly income is about [-], and the price of a piece of corn is [-]. There are [-] people in your town who bought it. Corn, so may I ask, what makes these people willing to spend what is not enough for a month to buy such expensive corn?"
The mayor stuck his neck: "...Can we eat it if we want to? Just because we are poor, we can't even eat corn?"
Xi Qing didn't even bother to listen to his excuses: "So these corns are definitely not for eating, they should be for selling. I want to take advantage of the shortage of corn in the first orchard to sell the corn I bought back. Sell it upside down."
"But one person can only sell three at most, and a family can't make up twenty at most. Such a small amount of business is not very profitable..."
Not only is there not much profit, in this place, when everyone’s income level is similar, suddenly someone has spare money in their hands, they will be particularly eye-catching, and people around them will be curious to observe and inquire, and living in In this kind of place, the space is narrow, and it is difficult to protect the secrets. Generally, such secrets cannot be kept for too long.
And as soon as this kind of thing gets out, the No. [-] Orchard will come to the door, and what is waiting is the disaster of prison.
Therefore, if you want to resell safely, the safest way is to gather the power of a town and let all the people in the town participate. In this way, not only will everyone be implicated because of their own interests, but they will have to hide it .
You can also gather the spare money in the hands of other townspeople to buy more corn, so as to obtain more profit space.
"...So, this person should have borrowed a sum of money from each of you, and then promised to repay it in a short time, with high interest?"
The corn they bought was sold for [-], but they are now selling it for [-]. Even if they returned double the profit, they would still be making a solid profit.
"And there is only one way to get high interest, reselling corn. This has violated the law. If you want to make money smoothly, all of you have to cover for him."
At this point, the mayor's forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat. He swallowed, but still insisted: "You are talking nonsense!"
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that Xi Qing's eyes were focused on the table, where the interstellar certificate that the mayor forgot to put away was there.
The mayor came to his senses and immediately wanted to put away the documents, but Xi Qing was ahead of him and held down his hand.
The mayor was sweating coldly. He didn't expect this young man who looked very thin to be so strong. The other party only pressed him with one hand, but he couldn't break free at all.
He tried to struggle, but the opponent's hand was motionless, and the table suddenly made a dull sound, as if it could not bear the weight and was about to break.
"Close the door and lock it." Xi Qing told the person in charge.
The person in charge nodded quickly, and the moment the door was completely closed, the mayor's face turned pale.
Xi Qing didn't let go of the mayor, he wasn't stupid, what if the mayor couldn't figure out what to do with them with a knife, it's safer to hold on to it.
"I was still wondering who this person was at first."
In other words, Xi Qing didn't think clearly at the beginning whether it was a person or a group of people who did this, until he saw the mayor's ID.
The household registration address above is very familiar: 1309, Building [-], Zhangyang Street, Danshui Town, Fifth Planet.
Xi Qing had seen this address before, and it was written on Su's mother's certificate, which happened to be this address!
Before marrying Su's father and moving to the second planet, Su's mother lived there, "1309, Building [-], Zhangyang Street, has the same room number as yours. This can't be a coincidence, can it?"
After Su Wei dropped out of Shangyou, a classmate who had a good relationship with him once asked Xi Qing where he was going, but Xi Qing didn't know. It should be said that no one in the whole school, including the teachers, knew where he went .
Now it seems that he should have brought his mother to his uncle who is far away on the eighth planet, who is the mayor of this town.
"Can you answer me now? Where is your nephew, Su Wei?" Xi Qing asked with a smile, "Or, where is he now?"
Su Wei must live here, but for the convenience of reselling corn, he must not be in this town at this time.
Even though the young man in front of him smiled very nicely, but in the eyes of the mayor, he was no different from a devil. His face was pale, and he gritted his teeth: "I don't know, what are you talking about!"
Xi Qing frowned, a little ignorant of flattery, and didn't cooperate after talking about it.
"How about we call the police?" Seeing the mayor's obviously guilty look, the person in charge felt that Xi Qing must have guessed right.
Xi Qing didn't speak.
It is very likely that calling the police now will scare the snake, and Su Wei will only cause him more trouble if he runs away.
What's more, what he's saying now is just speculation. The mayor will be scared because he has ghosts in his heart, but the police will not arrest people based on his speculation.
Xi Qing felt a little irritable, and when he was about to force him to confess in another way, the optical brain suddenly rang, and he opened it to see that it was a message from Shen Jian.
On it was an unfamiliar address, plus a sentence: Sir, this is the address the Marshal asked me to check, and Su Wei is here.
Xi Qing was overjoyed, and after thanking Shen Jian, he sent the address directly to the person in charge: "Don't delay, we're going here, you start the car first."
"Okay." The person in charge left with the clerk.
Xi Qing looked at the mayor, and the mayor cursed viciously: "I won't tell you, you just give up! When I get out, I'll go to the police station and sue you! Say you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was knocked unconscious by Xi Qing's palm.
Xi Qing took his optical brain away, then hugged the little white dog with one hand, tore a sheet from the bed in the room and twisted it into a rope, closed the door, tied the door lock in a particularly strange way, and then locked the door. Dead knot.
When walking outside, Xi Qing randomly found a remote location and left the mayor's brain in a corner.
As soon as he got into the car, the person in charge quickly turned the steering wheel and drove towards the location Xi Qing gave him in advance.
On the way, the person in charge finally couldn't help but asked, "Mr. Xi, did you ask the mayor if there are any foreigners because you realized that it was his nephew who did this?"
"No." Xi Qing shook his head, he didn't think about Su Wei at all at first.
Before coming here, he was thinking, if it was really someone in this town who resold the corn, then who would this person be?
Could it be the townspeople here?Did you choose this course of action after you perceived it to be profitable?
This idea was not rejected until Xi Qing walked into the town.
It should be impossible.
It is not unreasonable for the eighth planet to be poor. People here are engaged in very simple production activities, especially cloth and parts production.
As soon as Xi Qing walked into the town, he saw that there were many places where cloths of various fabrics were drying. It was obvious that the people here basically did this.
The work in the cloth industry is very simple. As long as you complete the repetitive work, you can get a fixed salary every month. After a long time, people here will be content with the status quo.
This will prevent people here from risking violating the law and doing those investment tricks. After all, it will cost a lot of money, and they may lose everything. Even if there are enough temptations, they Nor will they let go of the stable life in their hands, unless someone lures them.
And this person is obviously not a resident here.
That's why Xi Qing asked the mayor if there were any immigrants.
But then Xi Qing thought about it again, if it was an ordinary immigrant, would the residents here be at ease and boldly borrow money from him, or help him hide?
impossible.
This man is definitely not ordinary.
Most likely, it is a relative of someone here, and this person has a high degree of persuasion to persuade the residents here to make them willing to spend money for reselling.
This person can only be the mayor.
Although he had already thought about it, Xi Qing never expected that that person would be Su Wei.
The suspension car arrived at the destination very quickly, and there was a particularly inconspicuous alley in front of it, and at the end of the alley, there was a very hidden small shop that you would definitely miss if you didn't know the address in advance.
Xi Qing closed the car door and said softly, "Let's go."
"What's wrong?" Xi Qing asked.
The person in charge specially came here with Xi Qing today. The two seats were next to each other. Upon hearing this, he replied: "There is a problem with the energy stone mine mined by the royal family, and a fire broke out."
"Fire!?"
Xi Qing immediately regained his energy. At that time, Huo Yan told him that there was purple water in it, and as long as it was mined, it would spontaneously ignite and cause a fire. Xi Qing originally thought that the royal family would have to wait a few days before mining, but he did not expect that it would start today.
He quickly turned on the optical computer, clicked on the star network and looked it up, without Xi Qing deliberately looking for it. Now the Internet is full of reports about the fire, and you can see it by clicking on it.
As we all know, the ignition point of purple water is very low, and because of its own particularity, it will be extremely difficult to extinguish if it catches fire, so every time before energy stones are mined, there will be special firefighters waiting by the side in case of emergency.

The mayor nodded: "Okay, just ask."
The staff looked at Xi Qing in a daze, a little confused, he didn't have any questionnaires in his hand.
Xi Qing smiled and looked at him: "Just give me your optical brain."
The person in charge nodded, the clerk took off the optical computer and opened it, and handed it over. Xi Qing casually clicked and found a document full of text. After confirming that the content on it could not be seen from the perspective of the mayor, he started to pretend to be serious. asked.
"Before asking, please take a photo of your interstellar certificate, we need to file it here."
This requirement is not too much, no matter where the gift is received, identity verification must be carried out.
The mayor nodded, took out the ID from the room, Xi Qing returned it to him after a glance, and began to ask: "First question, how many people are there in your town?"
"650 three."
"What is the income per capita, per month."
The mayor was a little wary: "Why do you ask this?"
Xi Qing smiled at him: "It's just to investigate the purchasing power of our customers, so that we can launch subsequent products. Don't worry, we have conducted questionnaires on other planets, just because the location of the eighth planet is too remote. , there are many inconveniences, so it has been delayed until today."
The mayor: "I don't know the details. In the last national income survey, it was around [-]." In fact, this can also be found by checking. The mayor thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong.
Xi Qing: "What kind of work do you mainly do?"
The mayor looked at Xi Qing suspiciously: "Isn't this involving sex?"
"Okay, let me change the question." Xi Qing didn't press the question, but continued to smile and said, "Are there any foreigners in the town recently?"
The mayor immediately changed his face: "No. I'm not feeling well, and I want to rest. You guys go first, I don't want the gift."
Xi Qing looked at him: "Are you sure you don't want it? This is 20 yuan."
"What do you mean?"
The person in charge and the clerk on the side were also a little puzzled.
Xi Qing said unhurriedly: "You resell corn at the price of 20 heads. There are exactly ten heads here, isn't it exactly [-]?"
The mayor's face was livid: "I don't know what you are talking about, when did we resell the corn?"
"What about your corn?"
Mayor: "It's finished."
Xi Qing felt that this person's words were full of loopholes: "There are so many people in your town, a total of 500 people bought corn, and you don't even ask a question, you know they have finished eating?"
The mayor gritted his teeth: "I didn't talk about them, I said myself. You want to know if they have finished eating. Why do you ask me?"
He stood up from the chair and shouted loudly: "I don't think you came here for any gifts. You get out of here. If you don't get out, I'll call the police!"
Xi Qing nodded leisurely: "It's okay to call the police, just let the police catch you people who violated the law."
When buying corn, the pre-purchase terms are clearly signed, as long as there is an act of reselling corn, it is illegal.
The mayor's expression froze: "You fart! You're the one who violated the law!"
Knowing that he would not admit it, Xi Qing pointed his fingers at the desktop: "In a town of more than 600 people, the average monthly income is about [-], and the price of a piece of corn is [-]. There are [-] people in your town who bought it. Corn, so may I ask, what makes these people willing to spend what is not enough for a month to buy such expensive corn?"
The mayor stuck his neck: "...Can we eat it if we want to? Just because we are poor, we can't even eat corn?"
Xi Qing didn't even bother to listen to his excuses: "So these corns are definitely not for eating, they should be for selling. I want to take advantage of the shortage of corn in the first orchard to sell the corn I bought back. Sell it upside down."
"But one person can only sell three at most, and a family can't make up twenty at most. Such a small amount of business is not very profitable..."
Not only is there not much profit, in this place, when everyone’s income level is similar, suddenly someone has spare money in their hands, they will be particularly eye-catching, and people around them will be curious to observe and inquire, and living in In this kind of place, the space is narrow, and it is difficult to protect the secrets. Generally, such secrets cannot be kept for too long.
And as soon as this kind of thing gets out, the No. [-] Orchard will come to the door, and what is waiting is the disaster of prison.
Therefore, if you want to resell safely, the safest way is to gather the power of a town and let all the people in the town participate. In this way, not only will everyone be implicated because of their own interests, but they will have to hide it .
You can also gather the spare money in the hands of other townspeople to buy more corn, so as to obtain more profit space.
"...So, this person should have borrowed a sum of money from each of you, and then promised to repay it in a short time, with high interest?"
The corn they bought was sold for [-], but they are now selling it for [-]. Even if they returned double the profit, they would still be making a solid profit.
"And there is only one way to get high interest, reselling corn. This has violated the law. If you want to make money smoothly, all of you have to cover for him."
At this point, the mayor's forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat. He swallowed, but still insisted: "You are talking nonsense!"
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that Xi Qing's eyes were focused on the table, where the interstellar certificate that the mayor forgot to put away was there.
The mayor came to his senses and immediately wanted to put away the documents, but Xi Qing was ahead of him and held down his hand.
The mayor was sweating coldly. He didn't expect this young man who looked very thin to be so strong. The other party only pressed him with one hand, but he couldn't break free at all.
He tried to struggle, but the opponent's hand was motionless, and the table suddenly made a dull sound, as if it could not bear the weight and was about to break.
"Close the door and lock it." Xi Qing told the person in charge.
The person in charge nodded quickly, and the moment the door was completely closed, the mayor's face turned pale.
Xi Qing didn't let go of the mayor, he wasn't stupid, what if the mayor couldn't figure out what to do with them with a knife, it's safer to hold on to it.
"I was still wondering who this person was at first."
In other words, Xi Qing didn't think clearly at the beginning whether it was a person or a group of people who did this, until he saw the mayor's ID.
The household registration address above is very familiar: 1309, Building [-], Zhangyang Street, Danshui Town, Fifth Planet.
Xi Qing had seen this address before, and it was written on Su's mother's certificate, which happened to be this address!
Before marrying Su's father and moving to the second planet, Su's mother lived there, "1309, Building [-], Zhangyang Street, has the same room number as yours. This can't be a coincidence, can it?"
After Su Wei dropped out of Shangyou, a classmate who had a good relationship with him once asked Xi Qing where he was going, but Xi Qing didn't know. It should be said that no one in the whole school, including the teachers, knew where he went .
Now it seems that he should have brought his mother to his uncle who is far away on the eighth planet, who is the mayor of this town.
"Can you answer me now? Where is your nephew, Su Wei?" Xi Qing asked with a smile, "Or, where is he now?"
Su Wei must live here, but for the convenience of reselling corn, he must not be in this town at this time.
Even though the young man in front of him smiled very nicely, but in the eyes of the mayor, he was no different from a devil. His face was pale, and he gritted his teeth: "I don't know, what are you talking about!"
Xi Qing frowned, a little ignorant of flattery, and didn't cooperate after talking about it.
"How about we call the police?" Seeing the mayor's obviously guilty look, the person in charge felt that Xi Qing must have guessed right.
Xi Qing didn't speak.
It is very likely that calling the police now will scare the snake, and Su Wei will only cause him more trouble if he runs away.
What's more, what he's saying now is just speculation. The mayor will be scared because he has ghosts in his heart, but the police will not arrest people based on his speculation.
Xi Qing felt a little irritable, and when he was about to force him to confess in another way, the optical brain suddenly rang, and he opened it to see that it was a message from Shen Jian.
On it was an unfamiliar address, plus a sentence: Sir, this is the address the Marshal asked me to check, and Su Wei is here.
Xi Qing was overjoyed, and after thanking Shen Jian, he sent the address directly to the person in charge: "Don't delay, we're going here, you start the car first."
"Okay." The person in charge left with the clerk.
Xi Qing looked at the mayor, and the mayor cursed viciously: "I won't tell you, you just give up! When I get out, I'll go to the police station and sue you! Say you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was knocked unconscious by Xi Qing's palm.
Xi Qing took his optical brain away, then hugged the little white dog with one hand, tore a sheet from the bed in the room and twisted it into a rope, closed the door, tied the door lock in a particularly strange way, and then locked the door. Dead knot.
When walking outside, Xi Qing randomly found a remote location and left the mayor's brain in a corner.
As soon as he got into the car, the person in charge quickly turned the steering wheel and drove towards the location Xi Qing gave him in advance.
On the way, the person in charge finally couldn't help but asked, "Mr. Xi, did you ask the mayor if there are any foreigners because you realized that it was his nephew who did this?"
"No." Xi Qing shook his head, he didn't think about Su Wei at all at first.
Before coming here, he was thinking, if it was really someone in this town who resold the corn, then who would this person be?
Could it be the townspeople here?Did you choose this course of action after you perceived it to be profitable?
This idea was not rejected until Xi Qing walked into the town.
It should be impossible.
It is not unreasonable for the eighth planet to be poor. People here are engaged in very simple production activities, especially cloth and parts production.
As soon as Xi Qing walked into the town, he saw that there were many places where cloths of various fabrics were drying. It was obvious that the people here basically did this.
The work in the cloth industry is very simple. As long as you complete the repetitive work, you can get a fixed salary every month. After a long time, people here will be content with the status quo.
This will prevent people here from risking violating the law and doing those investment tricks. After all, it will cost a lot of money, and they may lose everything. Even if there are enough temptations, they Nor will they let go of the stable life in their hands, unless someone lures them.
And this person is obviously not a resident here.
That's why Xi Qing asked the mayor if there were any immigrants.
But then Xi Qing thought about it again, if it was an ordinary immigrant, would the residents here be at ease and boldly borrow money from him, or help him hide?
impossible.
This man is definitely not ordinary.
Most likely, it is a relative of someone here, and this person has a high degree of persuasion to persuade the residents here to make them willing to spend money for reselling.
This person can only be the mayor.
Although he had already thought about it, Xi Qing never expected that that person would be Su Wei.
The suspension car arrived at the destination very quickly, and there was a particularly inconspicuous alley in front of it, and at the end of the alley, there was a very hidden small shop that you would definitely miss if you didn't know the address in advance.
Xi Qing closed the car door and said softly, "Let's go."
