The speaker was a tall woman with long red hair, wearing dark glasses and dressed in a very professional, office-lady style.
Her features were somewhat similar to Yinlian's, but she looked more mature. She held a pile of documents in her left hand and occasionally adjusted her glasses with her right, looking somewhat helpless.
Yinlian's older sister is also a clerical worker in the Disaster Management Bureau. When Jiang Si was arrested, Yinlian immediately contacted her sister for help.
This is also the main reason why Jiang Si has not been interrogated so far.
Confronting her was the blonde girl in military uniform who had arrested Jiang Si.
Susan.
Judging from his appearance, he should be of mixed race. He has an imposing presence and his eyes and expression carry a hint of arrogance.
Hearing the other party's question, she raised her chin and said, "I'm not that stupid, Miss Yinluo."
"I need to accompany you during your interrogation."
"This is not in accordance with regulations."
“Your unauthorized arrest of Jiang Si is also against regulations. We do not have the right to imprison the relatives of magical girls. Miss Susan, he just signed an employment contract for Jiang Keke.”
……
After the argument continued for a while, Susan and Yinluo finally came in together.
One was expressionless with cold eyes, while the other had a kind smile and a gentle tone, "You must be Jiang Keke's brother, Mr. Jiang Si."
As he spoke, he poured Jiang Si a cup of hot water and pushed it towards him, saying, "Please don't be nervous. We'll only ask a few simple questions, and you'll be able to go home afterward. You are Jiang Keke's brother, a distinguished guest to us, and we won't make things difficult for you..."
"Just now, at 2:41 PM, when you got off the broomstick, you passed through the clouds and fell down, right?"
Although I didn't see any surveillance cameras, there should be similar equipment near the disaster control bureau, as the timing is so accurate.
In reality, he didn't reach the time when he fell from the clouds; specifically, it was 2:41:29.
Jiang Si's long-term training and meditation have given him a simulated clock in his mind, making him extremely sensitive to every minute and second.
So we know Susan wasn't making things up; the other party did indeed watch the surveillance footage or something similar.
“Yes.” Jiang Si naturally wouldn’t deny it. “Yesterday I passed by the Second Affiliated High School of North University and happened to run into the bat-like monster. I was contaminated by the monster’s blood, which is why I couldn’t stand on the clouds. That’s what Yin Lian said.”
Yinluo glanced at Susan and smiled, "That's true. There was a magical girl who was corrupted by a monster and almost fell down when she came here."
Susan remained noncommittal: "The pollution didn't last a single day."
"People's constitutions are different, and besides, he's an ordinary person. Magical girls can purify pollution faster, right?"
This time, Susan finally stopped denying it.
Yinluo also breathed a sigh of relief, "In short, it's best for ordinary people to stay away from disaster beasts. The pollution brought by the magic of disaster beasts over time will not only make you sick, but also make you irritable and easily angered."
"I see."
"Here's an agreement I hope you'll sign. I hope you won't disclose anything about this interrogation..."
"Wait a minute, I haven't said we can end this yet."
Susan immediately interrupted Yinluo, who was trying to end the interrogation, "Don't make decisions on your own. There are still many suspicious points about him. We need to continue testing whether he can pass through the clouds."
“Miss Susan,” Yinluo’s tone was finally more stern this time, “the contamination of an ordinary person can last up to half a month. Are you going to imprison him for half a month?”
"A purification ritual can be performed for him."
“He’s an ordinary person, not a magical girl. The purification ritual will cause him to lose his memory and also damage his body.” Yin Luo tapped the table. “I can absolutely sue you, Miss Susan!”
Susan was equally unyielding, raising her head and looking at her coldly, "We lost three seeds, Yinluo. If the person in front of us is the sinner who stole the three seeds, letting him go like this is a responsibility that no one can bear."
“I can guarantee that he is definitely not the one who stole the seeds.”
The two had completely ignored Jiang Si, engrossed in their own argument. Yin Luo was less about helping Jiang Si and more about proving herself, acting as if she were blinded by anger. "I vouch for him with my position. If he is the thief who stole the seeds, I am willing to take full responsibility!"
Jiang Si couldn't help but glance at her. At first glance, the other person looked like a mature white-collar woman, but in reality, she was much more emotional.
The argument quickly escalated, and they ended up making a guarantee.
Susan, whose face had been cold all along, finally curled the corners of her lips and quickly nodded. "Since you've said so, then write a report for the director. You will be responsible for any problems that Jiang Si finds out in the future."
Yinlu smiled and replied, "Sure, no problem."
Then he touched his glasses, his hand actually trembling slightly.
Jiang Si knew that Yinlian's older sister was probably not as calm and composed as she appeared.
Spurred on by Susan's two sentences, he made a promise and took on the responsibility...
"Can we release him now?"
Yinluo clearly didn't want to continue arguing about this matter, so she simply stood up and said, "I'll take responsibility for whatever happens. Since you're afraid of trouble, you might as well resign from this position sooner or later."
"It will be difficult for you to fire me, but Miss Yinluo, if Jiang Si does anything unusual, not only will you lose your position, but your sister's captain status will also likely be revoked."
Her expression stiffened slightly, but Yinluo still said firmly, "You don't need to worry about that."
As she said this, she stepped forward, unlocked Jiang Si's handcuffs, and took his hand as they walked out of the interrogation room. "If there's nothing else, we'll be going now."
"Whatever you like."
As Jiang Si stepped out of the room, she instinctively wanted to look back.
Yinluo, who was in front, immediately lowered her voice and said, "Don't turn around."
Jiang Si had initially wanted to turn around to see if Susan would catch up, but this warning immediately made her behave.
It wasn't until they reached the top of the stairs and were about to go downstairs that Yinlu explained, "That guy is extremely paranoid. If you look at her even for a second, you'll be arrested and interrogated for a while."
"So unreasonable?"
"Susan used to be a magical girl, but due to some minor mistakes by the Disaster Management Bureau, she lost her Miracle Seed and could no longer transform. To compensate her, the Disaster Management Bureau gave her the position of Minister of the Security Department, which has a lot of power. Moreover, since losing her transformation ability, she's been like she's entered menopause, liking to cause trouble for others. It's all due to her unhappy life..."
Hearing Yin Luo's somewhat harsh evaluation, Jiang Si chuckled inwardly. Sure enough, all official organizations are the same, with serious internal strife.
Even with the name "magical girl," it can't escape the common pitfalls.
Yinluo also felt that she had gone a bit too far, so she turned around and said, "Anyway, she and I have never gotten along well. This time, it's not just to help you, but mainly to prove myself."
I can tell. A person of strong emotions.
Jiang Si didn't comment on it, but instead asked, "If I really am a suspicious person, you'll be in trouble, won't you?"
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I've never liked this position."
A hint of melancholy appeared in her eyes, "If I could be a magical girl, who would want to go to the rear..."
Realizing she might have misspoke, Yinlu quickly corrected herself, saying, "Hehe, sorry, I said something unnecessary. All your actions since you came to the Disaster Management Bureau are recorded. I've seen them, and there's absolutely nothing unusual about them. Besides, my sister Yinlian also said that you are definitely not a suspicious person. I believe Yinlian, and I believe you too."
"I will try my best not to become a suspicious person."
Yinlu smiled, finding Jiang Si quite humorous.
When I went downstairs, I found that the two incubators in front of the counter were gone, and the whole hall was empty.
Jiang Keke was sitting on a bench opposite the counter, holding her previous employment contract, as quiet as if she were in class at school.
Yinlian paced back and forth, clearly feeling anxious and uneasy.
When Jiang Si came down, she heard Ke Ke complaining to Yin Lian, "Can you stop swaying back and forth? It's making me dizzy."
"You're not worried at all about your brother being arrested?"
"Nothing will happen. The Disaster Management Bureau is an official organization. What's there to be afraid of?"
"You just don't know that's why you're not afraid. Senior Susan is terrifying!"
"We can't kill him, so imprisoning him wouldn't be a big deal. It would probably actually help him train in peace."
"I now feel that you, Coco, bear a lot of responsibility for the bad relationship between you and your siblings..."
"Say whatever you want."
When Jiang Si followed Yinlu downstairs, the two girls noticed that Yinlian was the first to run over, happily grabbing her sister's arm, "As expected of my older sister, she managed to get him back from Susan!"
Jiang Keke stood up for a moment, her gaze lingered on her older brother for a second, and then sat down again without leaning over.
Yinluo found it strange that her younger sister was so cold, then patted her head and said, "There was nothing wrong to begin with, it was Susan who was in the wrong. However, the Miracle Seed is lost, and the divination on it says that the witch will find the location of the Disaster Management Bureau, so Yinlian, you have to be careful."
"Don't worry, sister. Once I find them, I'll definitely give them a good beating!"
Yinlian threw two powerful punches.
Jiang Si frowned slightly.
The Witches' Guild is an organization that sows seeds of sorrow and raises calamity beasts.
Jiang Si had heard Bing Tang say before that this group of people had caused considerable trouble for the Qingyun Sect.
Their goal is to hunt magical girls, and members of the Qingyun Sect are naturally included in that target.
Because the initiation ceremony was too cruel, even Bing Tang was unable to get members of the Qingyun Sect to infiltrate the Witch's Guild.
In terms of scale and reputation alone, the Witch Society cannot compare with the Qingyun Sect and the Disaster Prevention Bureau, at least not in the North Sea.
It was just a roadside path, yet they managed to steal a miracle seed from the Disaster Management Bureau.
As expected, the Disaster Management Bureau is utterly incompetent.
But why was the rock candy a step behind the witch? Or was the divination wrong?
While I was thinking, I suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from upstairs.
Susan came down again, accompanied by three soldiers.
Yinlu frowned, about to step in front of her, when Susan suddenly threw out a document.
"The cloud testing application has been approved, and I'm now required to conduct the test for Jiang Si separately."
Yinluo immediately pointed at Susan in anger, "You!"
Susan's cold face held a hint of contemptuous smile: "What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean?' If you have any complaints, talk to the director and the others. I've already given you the documents, and you've seen Silver Lotus. This is a legal and compliant test. If you obstruct it any further, you'll be breaking the rules."
Yinluo was clearly surprised that Susan would immediately apply for the cloud layer test after she had already made a promise.
But the document was right there in black and white, and even though he held some position in the Disaster Management Bureau, there was nothing they could do about it for the time being.
Yinlian's face was also full of helplessness.
Jiang Si knew there was no way to avoid the current situation, so she took the initiative to walk over and said, "It's okay, I'll just do a test. You guys wait here for a while, don't leave yet, I can't find my way back."
These words eased the tension a bit. Jiang Keke, who was still looking down at her employment contract and had read it countless times, replied indifferently, "Then hurry up, it's too late and no one will wait for you."
