"Prepare the car and go to the biology laboratory."

Like a cold snap in winter, Jian Shenxiu in a black windbreaker walked out of the search bureau lobby and walked into the elevator.

The time on the elevator screen had pointed to eight o'clock in the evening. Even if the lights are bright all night like the Venus Tower, it is quieter than during the day at this moment.

The elevator quickly descended in the tempered glass elevator shaft, passing through one bright floor after another. , each department is busy with work in different industries, as if traveling through different worlds one after another.

Looking out from the inside of the elevator, as night falls, the 180-degree fully transparent landscape elevator can overlook half of the night view of Yukimizawa. From the height of the Venus Tower, one can clearly see the sea of ​​light formed by the continuous neon lights in the eastern upper part of the city. This sea of ​​light connects to the north with a large area of ​​new light sources in the northern high-tech zone. The lower city to the south is more and more sparse as you go south. Countless lights together form a glamorous golden color, shooting out from the ground, reflecting half of the sky's clouds.

Even standing in the elevator, light from various sources is constantly passing through the glass of the landscape elevator. It was reflected on Jian Shenxiu's pale face.

Needless to say, even after the chaos of Eternal Night, it was still a grand and prosperous sight. In fact, the elevator of the Venus Tower is a famous scenic spot. In the daytime, the bustling upper city and the sea in the distance will form a picture scroll of nature and city. The high-rise Shangcheng District and the vast blue sea are clearly separated and complement each other. When night falls, the sea becomes pitch black. Countless light sources in Xuejian Zecheng City are lit up, reflecting the clear and transparent night sky of the sea and harbor. Surrounded by the surrounding dark sea, it has a dreamlike beauty.

Maybe it's because the beautiful scenery really has the power of gentleness. Looking at the bustling everything in front of him, as one of the city's defenders, even Jian Shenxiu's eyebrows and eyes are gentle. The Chief Inspector looked at the city with undisguised scrutiny. But when the light fell on his face, it made people feel that there was a trace of tenderness in this scrutiny.

"Is the car arranged?"

Seeing Shenxiu walk out of the elevator, he asked the assistant next to him.

"The garage is waiting for you."

Markesias nodded slightly, and said to Jian Shenxiu.

"good."

So seeing Shenxiu, he didn't stop, and walked directly to the usual parking space.

"Wait a moment!"

However, at this time, a somewhat anxious shout suddenly came from behind the two of them. He stopped the pace of the two of them.

When the two turned their heads, they saw another elevator on the side slowly opening. A young girl in uniform trotted out from inside and ran all the way to the two of them.

"Search Chief!"

Xi Wei approached anxiously, and shouted at Jian Shenxiu.

"Are you going to the biology lab?"

"Well, what's the matter?"

Jian Shenxiu nodded first, and after he finished speaking, his brows raised obviously.

He didn't directly say "Did I still ask you?", but the meaning was clearly evident in his expression.

"But the curse on you..."

Xi Wei was dumbfounded, and there was an obvious pause in the middle of her words. Because she knows what's in the biology lab at this moment! Let Ayumi Ueda live and die that the mermaid is just a corpse. But they have captured this strange fish live, and that live body is now in the biology laboratory!

"You... want to touch that living body?" The girl lost her voice.

"You clearly know how dangerous this is! You stopped the laboratory over there!"

Is he really sane? Xi Wei subconsciously clenched her fists hanging on both sides of her body, her eyes widened in surprise, as if she couldn't understand what this person was thinking at all.

Less than three hours had passed since Ayumi Ueda's bizarre death! Until now, the whole building is still discussing the failure of the inspector general and the curse on him. Not to mention that everyone is in danger, at least seeing Shenxiu himself is undoubtedly in a trap. He actually wants to contact those strange fish again at this time!

Even if it is brave and fearless, it shouldn't be such a fearless method! This is completely reckless, to put yourself in danger!

"You are the chief of the search bureau! Ayumi Ueda just had an accident, and the consequences of those curses have not been investigated clearly. He also predicted that you will have an accident in a day."

"Sir! Please remain calm." The words of this young female investigator were full of disbelief.

"I absolutely disagree that this is the right time."

"Calm down? So you're making me sit in an office and wait twenty-four hours?"

But after seeing Shenxiu listened to her words, he just asked her calmly.

"Will I die in twenty-four hours? Let's see what kind of curse it is? Then according to the situation, do you want to touch the living body?"

look

"You feel……"

Facing the anxious questioning of his subordinates, the inspector did not directly reprimand her, but looked directly into the girl's eyes with clear scrutiny.

"How many twenty-four hours does the missing victim have? Can you waste it like this?"

The cold light of the garage shone on Jian Shenxiu's face. Leaving the landscape elevator, the softness reflected by the neon lights also disappeared from Shenxiu's face. From Markesias' perspective, one could even see a trace of coldness on his face. Those eyes were no longer at the level of [Indifference], those red pupils were as sharp as knives when they reflected the prosperity in front of them, reminiscent of the blazing flames above the unburned ashes.

He always looks like this, or maybe this is also the impression in the eyes of others when he sees Shenxiu in ordinary times. The coldness and the hotness reached a subtle unity in him. His eyes were as cold as sharp swords that could fall at any moment, but deep in his pupils was hidden a fire that would burn everything up.

"……this."

The words that came to Xi Wei's mouth froze instantly.

The Search Bureau is an agency established [to protect the masses under the frequent weirdness of Xue Jianze], and the protection of victims should be the first priority. For all employees of the search bureau, this is an unavoidable righteousness.

But even if it is righteousness, it is not necessary to choose this way. Even if you want to rescue the victim, you should choose an appropriate method instead of putting yourself in danger! Such words are obviously an excuse for his own impulsiveness.

Xi Wei was blocked by Jian Shenxiu's words, but she reacted in the next second, her face flushed immediately. She felt that seeing Shenxiu was talking nonsense, she was about to open her mouth.

"Do you think that I am advancing rashly, that I chose an inappropriate way, that I made an impulsive choice because Ayumi Ueda was killed under my nose?"

But before she could open her mouth, seeing Shenxiu had already said everything she thought in her heart.

"I……"

Seeing that Shenxiu pointed out what was in her heart, the girl was taken aback.

"Then have you ever wondered why you are the only one who came here, while the other investigators of the Search Bureau didn't come out to stop me like you?" Jian Shenxiu asked calmly again.

"I……"

Xi Wei panicked, she ran out in a hurry so she didn't care about other people's reactions, now that she thinks about it... It seems that those senior investigators in the bureau are not as nervous as others when discussing these things .

"Xi Wei." Jian Shenxiu looked at her and asked aloud.

"How long have you been at the Bureau?"

"Four months..." Xi Wei subconsciously puffed her chest out, but immediately turned serious after she finished speaking. "Sir, I don't think this has anything to do with seniority."

"It really has nothing to do with seniority." Jian Shenxiu nodded, then shook his head again.

"But it's about experience."

"Inexperience can always misjudge many things. Since you are so curious, follow along, you are responsible for driving."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Xi Wei, but turned around and walked towards the parking lot.

"Let you see how I deal with these problems."
