Chapter 10: The mysterious case of missing children
Qin Shaoyou didn't give Xue Qingshan a chance to go back, and urged him to get the warrant.
After carefully putting it away, he said, "Brother-in-law, tell me in detail the case of the missing child in Mianyuan County."
Now that you have taken over the task, you must be fully prepared.
In addition to equipment, knowledge of the case is also a must.
"Okay."
Xue Qingshan suppressed the inexplicable anxiety in his heart and introduced the case:
"According to the report of the night watchman in Mianyuan County, since last month, there have been many cases of missing children in Mianyuan County.
In the beginning, the local government just regarded it as an ordinary abduction and trafficking case, and dispatched arresters to investigate.
But it didn't take long for the arresters who participated in the investigation to die tragically at home. The cause of death was a mystery.
Only then did the local government realize that the case was not easy, and hurriedly reported it to the night watchman..."
Listening to Xue Qingshan's remarks, Qin Shaoyou had a general understanding of the case of the disappearance of children in Mianyuan County.
This is not a small case of missing two or three children, but a chain of cases involving dozens or hundreds of missing children!
And the number of missing children is still increasing!
This shows that the evil of stealing children has not paid attention to the officials and night watchmen in Mianyuan County at all, and is still committing crimes arrogantly.
Of course, the officials and night watchmen in Mianyuan County are indeed not very powerful.
Although they tried their best to investigate, the progress was slow, and no useful clues have been found.
Not to mention eradicating evil spirits and rescuing missing children.
The local people in Mianyuan County were panicked by this case.
Especially if there are children at home, it is called nervousness and panic, for fear that the next one who goes missing will be their own child.
Faced with enormous pressure, the Mianyuan County government and the night watchman could only ask for help from the higher authorities.
So this case was submitted to Luocheng Town Yoji Lai.
After Xue Qingshan finished telling the case, he said, "That's the situation, do you have anything else to ask?"
Qin Shaoyou raised a question: "Brother-in-law, this case is a bit complicated, and even the local local snakes can't find any clues. I'm a rookie, what can I find out?"
Xue Qingshan had already made arrangements for this.
"Zhu Xiucai under your command is the expert investigator I specially assigned to you. With his help, I should be able to find clues. Besides, isn't there me? If you really encounter difficulties, send someone back to find them. I, I'll call a master to help you."
With Xue Qingshan's assurance, Qin Shaoyou felt relieved and said with a smile, "Thank you brother-in-law, brother-in-law is really nice."
Xue Qingshan shuddered suddenly, and the hairs on his whole body stood on end.
If the sister-in-law said this, Xue Qingshan would feel comfortable all over, but it came out of Qin Shaoyou's mouth, how could it be so disgusting?
Xue Qingshan waved his hand in disgust: "Hurry up and pack your bags and leave today, but Mianyuan County is in a hurry. As for our parents, you don't need to worry about them, I will inform you after I leave the office. them."
"Yes." Qin Shaoyou nodded and agreed. After saying goodbye to Xue Qingshan, he went straight to the poor room.
Xue Qingshan sent him out, looking at his back as he walked away, he couldn't help but muttered in a low voice, "Why didn't our mother and father have another little daughter?"
Shaking his head regretfully, he turned around and went back to the house to continue dealing with the affairs he had accumulated over the past two days.
Qin Shaoyou returned to the poor room, gathered his men together, and told them about the mission.
Unlike Qin Shaoyou, the subordinates were very happy when they heard that they had a mission.
Because there is a bounty for completing a task, and if you complete it, there will be additional rewards.
In addition, you can accumulate merit.
Whether it is the warriors who want to be promoted to parade and shackles, or Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma who want to become officials from officials, they must accumulate enough credits.
So when they heard there was a mission, it was like a hungry wolf smelling blood, and their eyes were all red with excitement.
Even Monk Ma was no exception. While proclaiming the Buddha's name, he said, "Whether it's Paihuazi or Heiji, I must save a few more!"
Of course, they are also very clear that there will be dangers in going on a mission.
It's just that compared with danger and demons, they are more afraid of lack of money and power.
Seeing the reaction of his subordinates, Qin Shaoyou swallowed the words he prepared to boost his morale.
These guys can't wait to scream, where do you need him to boost morale? Just about giving him a boost.
"Let's go, get the equipment."
Qin Shaoyou greeted him and took his subordinates out of the business room to the arsenal.
After showing Xue Qingshan's warrant to the night watchman guarding the arsenal, they were allowed to enter.
Qin Shaoyou entered the arsenal, first looked at what equipment was inside, and then instructed Zhu Xiucai and others:
"Bring a few more knives for easy replacement, as well as an extra pair of armor. Are there any that will make long soldiers? Pick a few and bring them. There are also shields, crossbows, and hidden arrows, all of which can be brought. "
"what?"
Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma were a little confused.
Aren't we going to investigate cases of missing children?
Why are you acting like you're going to fight a cult monster?
Do you need to bring so many weapons and equipment?
After hesitating for a while, Monk Ma finally couldn't hold back and persuaded in a low voice, "Sir, we don't need to bring so much equipment, right?"
Qin Shaoyou's attitude was very firm: "Take it. It's better to have more than less, and be prepared."
Seeing this situation, Monk Ma, Zhu Xiucai and the others stopped talking, and took the equipment according to Qin Shaoyou's request.
Soon, Qin Shaoyou, who took a few knives and chose two pairs of armor, noticed that the things stored in the corner of the arsenal didn't look like weapons.
He raised his hand and asked the arsenal manager who was sweating coldly, "What's there?"
While wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, the arsenal manager replied, "It's flying tiger claws, incense and other sundries..."
He has managed the arsenal for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen someone receiving so many weapons and equipment.
You thought this was a vegetable market, and came here to stock up?
With so many weapons and equipment, do you want to make yourself an iron hedgehog?
However, the warrant brought by Qin Shaoyou was signed by Xue Qingshan himself.
Moreover, it was written above that Qin Shaoyou and the others were allowed to take more weapons and equipment.
Coupled with the relationship between Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan, the arsenal managers were neither angry nor afraid to speak out about their 'purchasing' behavior, and they had to cooperate fully.
"Flying Tiger Claw? Mixiang?"
Qin Shaoyou thought about it for a while, then turned his head and instructed Zhu Xiucai: "Go get some and bring them. By the way, see if there are any other useful sundries, and get some."
"Yes."
Zhu Xiucai nodded and took the lead. Anyway, he already had a lot of weapons and equipment, so it wasn't that bad.
Qin Shaoyou, however, remembered something, and hurriedly added: "By the way, there are also cloud-piercing arrows that send signals, so take more."
"Okay." Zhu Xiucai replied.
The monk Ma and the wrestlers next to him were very surprised when they heard Qin Shaoyou's new order.
They can still understand with more cloud-piercing arrows, so let's call for reinforcements.
But what do you bring things like flying tiger claws and fragrant incense?
We are here to investigate the case, not to go over the wall and be admitted to the hospital to pick flowers!
On the other hand, Zhu Xiucai realized once again: "My lord, I expected the enemy to be lenient, so as not to be caught off-guard and helpless in the event of an emergency."
Immediately afterwards, he boasted: "These arrangements, my lord, are quite the art of war, and the capital of famous generals!"
Qin Shaoyou laughed dumbly, raised his finger and pointed at Zhu Xiucai: "As expected of someone who has read books, he should talk more."
Immediately afterwards, he called two wrestlers for help, and put on the armor he had just received.
He put on a large burqa outside, and after tying up the cuffs and neckline, the armor was hidden in the burqa, and it was not easy to be found.
While wearing the armor, Qin Shaoyou also took out a bronze mirror with talisman paper from his chest.
Originally, he wanted to put this bronze mirror away, but after thinking about it, he put it back on his chest.
Multiple protections, multiple security.
Close-fitting and more caring.
Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others were not surprised by Qin Shaoyou's behavior of wearing armor.
Now in this world, the order in the city is better, and outside the city, it is really a crisis at every step and danger everywhere.
Especially when they went to Mianyuan County, they had to go over mountains and mountains.
Even if you don't encounter demons and ghosts on the road, you may encounter bandits, bandits, wolves and beasts.
Putting on armor in advance is better than being in a hurry when attacked. At that time, just put on the helmet, you can rush to kill the enemy.
So, it's not just Qin Shaoyou. After they get their equipment, they also have to wear armor.
"You guys get the equipment here, I'll go to the spiritual room to pick up some supernatural items."
After putting on the armor, Qin Shaoyou took two sleeve arrows and carried them close to him, then gave an order, and then turned around and left the arsenal.
Leaving everyone looking at each other in dismay.
"I heard it right? Are you still going to pick up supernatural items?"
"Are we really going to investigate the disappearance of children this time? Weren't we going to fight the cult demon?"
In the hearts of Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others, question marks appeared one after another.
And the arsenal manager looked at Qin Shao's back, and whispered in his heart: "This person is designated a little wrong..."
