Chapter 060: Dating
Li Lin read the newspaper while eating breakfast.
In the inner world, newspapers are the only source of information for the people besides word of mouth.Under the rule of the king's government, the content above after filtering is naturally not important, but what caught his attention the most was the news that occupied the main page.
"Tomorrow's Survey Corps will launch the 57th out-of-the-wall survey, with colleagues with "monsters", can this time bring rich results? "The title is very sensational, Li Lin read the content, and sure enough, the whole article first described the fiasco of the past extra-wall investigations at length, and then mentioned Allen.
Almost all of Alan's descriptions are called "monster" in quotation marks, apparently someone deliberately instructed the newspaper to do so.The purpose is to discredit Allen, and even the image of the entire Survey Corps in the hearts of the public.
In fact, since the last battle at the Wall of Rose, the public's impression of the Survey Corps has changed a lot.
At that time, it was because the Survey Corps rushed back in time that the giant could be delayed for half an hour in front of the broken outer door.And this also allowed the vast majority of the residents living in the Trost Region to successfully withdraw into the inner city of the Wall of Rose.
Afterwards, it was because of the full cooperation of Allen, the Survey Corps and the Garrison Corps that he successfully regained the lost wall, creating the first victory in human history within the wall.
And the people of Tolos District are not blind, and naturally they have seen all this.However, without the knowledge of other districts, many were fooled by the newspapers.
Because what the newspaper focused on was not the Survey Corps' heroic fight against giants, nor how hard Aaron tried to block the wall; it was the damage that Aaron had caused when he turned into a giant, and it was suspected that he had a tendency to attack humans.All in all, it made him a dangerous person.
That's why at the trial meeting, when Nair, the head of the gendarmerie, made a proposal to dissect Allen, many people agreed.If it wasn't for Levi's quick-witted performance and President Zachary's decision to defy the public opinion, Allen would have been sliced and studied at this moment.
"Yo, Captain Li Lin, what about breakfast?"
Xi Qi appeared out of nowhere, and when she came closer, Li Lin glanced at her, who was wearing a long skirt and had delicate makeup on her face.
"It's beautiful, Xiqi, are you going on a date?"
"No, it's just to make myself feel good~ I don't have any men I like right now." Xi Qi said, and sat aside, "Captain, tomorrow's area patrol, I'll help Ani take a sick leave."
tomorrow.
Li Lin's hand holding the bread stagnated in the air, and then he casually put it into his mouth and took a bite.
"Sick leave? She was alive and well yesterday."
"Oh, it's the girl." Xi Qi winked her eyes: "You men don't understand."
"...Really, then I'll go to the doctor later. To ask for sick leave, you must present the doctor's diagnosis report."
"Hey! Captain, you're too... impersonal, aren't you?"
"Why should I be friendly to the person who lied to me?" Li Lin looked at Xi Qi, "Tell me honestly, otherwise there is no way to ask for leave."
Hearing that, Xi Qi hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Okay, okay, really, Captain, you are too rigid for me to say it. They are going on a date."
"Dating?"
"Yes, it's a date~" Xi Qi said, staring at Li Lin's face, but to her disappointment, she didn't see anything on Li Lin's face.
"What, it turns out that the captain didn't mean that to Ani."
"what?"
"I thought you two came from the same district, so there will be something... strange relationship between you." She said and sighed, "It seems that I think too much. Sure enough, two strange people will not They got together. But that's fine, if they got together, wouldn't it be weird and weird, even weirder?"
"...Why didn't she ask for leave by herself?"
"Oh, captain, you are too slow." Xiqi said with a smile: "Dating is such a thing, even if it is Ani's character, you will feel very shy when you take the initiative to say it."
"Is it."
"How about it, Captain, you will agree, right? It's a good thing for others."
good thing...?
Li Lin didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked at Xiqi and asked: "Xiqi, with your character, will you take the initiative to help others? Ani must promise you something, right?"
"Huh?" Xi Qi was a little unhappy: "Do I look like this in the eyes of the captain? It's really sad..."
"Stop it."
"Hee hee." Xi Qi instantly swept away her sad face and put her hands on her cheeks: "Captain, you are really smart. I really won't help others in vain."
"If you tell me what I'm busy with, maybe I'll consider granting leave."
"..."
Xi Qi sighed helplessly: "Captain, you really like to get to the bottom of things... Well, it's actually nothing. A senior forced me a case a few days ago. In exchange, I handed the case over to Ani. She was in charge. Said they would investigate today."
"What case?"
"It's just a rich girl who ran away from home." Xi Qi shrugged, "I think she ran away with some handsome guy. After playing outside for a few days, she'll come back when she runs out of money. There's no need to make such a fuss."
Hearing the words "a rich girl ran away from home", Li Lin frowned.
"Is that rich girl surnamed 'Strassman'?"
When Xi Qi heard the words, she looked at him in surprise: "Captain, how do you know?"
"..."
What a coincidence.
Li Linxin said that he was only asked by Elliot yesterday to investigate the missing daughter, and today the case happened to be in the hands of Ani.
Yeah.
"I'm also investigating this case," he said. "Where is Ani now?"
