Mike's screwdriver had already left a red mark on the tall man's neck, just a hair's breadth away from breaking the skin.

The tall man knew his life was in the other man's hands, so he had no choice but to lower his head and admit defeat.

Mike snorted and retorted, "If I told you to drive the car to the Guard Bureau, would you agree?"

"Brother, don't bother the guards with such a small matter. They're very busy."

The short man chimed in, "Going to the Guard Bureau will only interfere with your business, brother. Let's forget about it and find another way."

These two bumbling thieves didn't seem very bright. Mike had only been asleep in the back seat for a short while when he overheard them talking. These outsiders didn't even speak Lungmen dialect very well, and probably didn't understand Lungmen's rules either. Plus, they kidnapped him by stealing his car, so their fate was probably pretty grim.

Despite Mike's fierce appearance and seemingly suicidal demeanor, he was actually thinking about something else entirely.

Why was he so tired that he fell asleep in the car?

The two car thieves stole the car by mistake without him noticing. It wasn't until the car was driving on the highway and swaying that he slowly woke up. When he woke up, he felt dizzy and disoriented, as if he had been punched.

I was most likely drugged. The dosage wasn't very high, and given my strong physique, the effect was short-lived.

What the hell? How could this happen?

Who did it?

That bowl of fish balls.

Lin Yuxia.

Is it really her?

In just a few seconds, a storm raged through Mike's mind. He said in a menacing tone, "If you two want to steal the car and sell it, then take me to your boss. I'll talk to him myself."

Looks like a tough character.

The two young men swallowed hard.

As long as you don't go to the Guard Bureau, it's not impossible to talk to your boss.

"Brother, let me tell you something in advance. Our boss recently had a bit of an accident. He's not very willing to see strangers, so you may not be able to meet him."

"Who is your boss?"

“An Ursus man, from the north, with a rather strange accent.”

"Where are you two from?"

The dwarf answered truthfully, "I am an Ursus, and this man next to me is a Letanian."

Mike glanced at their species again, and sure enough, one was a bear and the other a deer.

"Do as I say, or I'll kill you and have your henchmen take me to see your boss."

The tall man was startled and quickly said, "Drive, drive! Don't worry about anything else, let's talk this out."

……

Longmen Relief Home.

After Lin Yuxia finished her opening remarks, she turned her gaze to the snow pheasant trembling beside Hoshiguma.

Little Li Boli rarely faced such a grand occasion. Everyone present was a prominent figure in Lungmen, even Lao Li from the detective agency was highly praised by the people of Lungmen.

She didn't even understand why she was there.

Wasn't what happened on the outer ring of Longmen all part of her dream?

How can you take dreams seriously?

41. This person must be in Longmen City.

Hoshiguma coughed, drawing everyone's attention, and placed her hands on the table, interlacing her fingers.

"Everyone, I've asked about Xuezhi's situation, and she herself doesn't know what happened."

"really?"

Lin Yuxia asked a question, fully demonstrating her disbelief, and she was also waiting for Hoshiguma to say what he would say next.

Snowskin is undoubtedly a civilian employee, and her combat capabilities are lackluster. Even when she was a special operations operator at Rhodes Island, her performance was mediocre.

Most of the time, Little Liberi stayed busy in the laboratory and rarely appeared on the battlefield.

So that night, she rode her bicycle alone into the outer ring of Longmen, giving Lady Rose a shocking blow, leaving everyone present feeling confused and bewildered.

However, it must be admitted that the blow from the snow pheasant was more effective than all the damage they had inflicted before.

What's even more suspicious is that everyone has some golden light on them, but the snow pheasant's is the most intense.

What exactly did she experience that night, and who did she come into contact with, that made her behave so strangely?

Hoshiguma, aware of everyone's confusion, shrugged and simply said, "I've asked her all the questions. She can't remember and thinks she's dreaming. Let's just assume she's sleepwalking."

"I've met some people who sleepwalk. Some are faking it, some are really. Those who are faking it may not be as real as the real ones, and the real ones aren't as amazing."

The person who said this was Fiameta, and Red Liboli was still resentful about what happened that day.

If the Liberi Conservation Society staff were on site, the bird spot would likely have gone to the Little Snowy Pheasant.

Mostima patted her on the shoulder, wondering why this girl cared so much about whether she could fly.

"Has Snow Pheasant been to the hospital for a check-up?" Texas glanced at Mostima and asked the question that had been bothering her.

Hoshiguma nodded: "I went there. You left early that day and didn't know what happened afterward. Miss Lin called people to pick us up, including an ambulance. Yukichi was taken to the hospital immediately. After a series of examinations, she was healthy and had no problems. The doctors said she was too tired and fell asleep. Those behaviors were probably just her unconscious sleepwalking, and there was no way to investigate."

"This is a good thing, why should we investigate?"

Old Li rarely stood up and said a word.

"No one thought about holding her accountable. She helped a lot, and I think she should be given a red envelope."

"We should indeed give Snow Chick a red envelope. Okay, Miss Snow Chick, you don't need to be so nervous. We were just discussing how many amazing things happened that day, including you. So can you tell me what you went through?"

"I do not remember."

Snow Pheasant glanced timidly at the people present, knowing that these were people she couldn't afford to offend, but they had also been Rhodes Island's companions, so they probably wouldn't harm her.

"You don't remember anything at all? Did anyone say anything to you, see anyone, or do anything?"

"I don't remember, but I think I heard someone talking in my dream. He said 1=1, and that I was a chosen hero. He gave me a holy sword and told me to go and slay demons."

If the holy sword that Snow Pheasant mentioned is indeed that golden-glowing tree branch, it seems quite reasonable.

The group exchanged glances, realizing that continuing to argue with Xuezhi about this matter would be pointless. They decided not to make things difficult for the girl, since the matter was already resolved and it was time to reward those who had contributed, not to assign blame.

“Miss Snow Pheasant, if you remember those details, you can tell me. Don’t be too hard on yourself. After all, you can’t take dreams seriously, can you?”

The snow pheasant nodded quickly, just like a chick pecking at rice.

Lin Yuxia's words set the tone for the matter, and no one else dared to ask any further questions.

After all, the snow pheasant was their greatest contributor, wasn't it?

But then Mostima spoke.

"The notary office didn't do much work, so we can give our share of the compensation to Miss Xuezhi."

"No need. I will give Xuezhi an extra big red envelope, so please rest assured that the remuneration is always fair and just, and no one will be shortchanged."

The matter seems to have come to an end.

Lin Yuxia had her staff bring a tray and gave everyone present a red envelope before starting the meeting.

"Has Penguin Logistics found that guy?"

Texas said, "We've found him. He was unconscious in the sewers. It took some effort to find him."

"I'm a little curious how you found the clues?" Hoshiguma looked over.

“An anonymous person sent an anonymous letter to Penguin Logistics. We just followed the clues. Luckily, we arrived in time, otherwise Capone would have been fed to the rats.”

After Texas finished speaking, she looked up at Lin Yuxia. Zalak showed no displeasure and didn't seem to care that someone had used the word "rat."

"Could I take a look at the letter?"

"I brought it."

Exusiai took the letter out of her backpack and handed it to Hoshiguma.

Police Inspector Lungmen opened the letter and was immediately disappointed.

Since this letter was printed, don't expect to be able to discern any handwriting characteristics from it.

She said sullenly, "It seems that the person who provided the clue was well prepared."

"It's a pity, because we also want to know who it is."

Did Capone say anything?

"I know a little about this."

Mostima took the initiative to speak, attracting everyone's attention.

"When Capone was in the hospital, he believed he saw God or a miracle. He said a golden person appeared in front of him and punched him twice."

A person glittering with gold?

Is there really such a person?

"Didn't he see anything clearly? Did he even know what the other person looked like? Even just a vague clue would be helpful."

“Sorry, there’s nothing there. Capone is nearsighted, with a very high degree of myopia. Without his glasses, he’s practically blind. Also, the sewers were quite dark at the time, and he spent a long time there, which affected his vision. He’ll tear up when he sees anything that’s light, so that lead has gone cold.”

"Why does it feel like we have absolutely no leads?"

Exusiai's words made Lin Yuxia's expression turn sour.

Zalak said in a deep voice, "We need to pay attention to any special situations in Lungmen during this period. Someone who can find clues so quickly and provide assistance should not stay in the outer ring of Lungmen. Therefore, we should focus our main efforts on the city."

"Makes sense."

Texas, who was usually indifferent, agreed with Lin Yuxia's point of view: "The environment in the outer ring is very complicated. Chairman Lin has many informants, so it is not easy to hide himself. But it is different in the city. I suppose even the Guard Bureau is unlikely to know the background of most of the Lungmen citizens."

42. I'll keep an eye on him for you.

After finishing writing in his notebook, Hoshiguma looked up at the people present and said, "Now there's one more question, one that I just can't figure out."
