Zhu Yuan on this side also spoke with a little resentment after hearing Qingyi's words.

"Senior, you're being ridiculous. You know, the conference hall for the lecture can accommodate 300 people. Now it looks like even half of it won't be full."

If the current situation does not continue to develop, it is unknown whether even 1/10 of the people will survive, let alone half.

Qingyi thought so in her heart, but still comforted Zhu Yuan with her words.

“Chief Bullinger chose this place as the venue for his event because of the large number of residents nearby.

As luck would have it, most of the residents here are from Governor Bullinger's previous jurisdiction, and many of them have complaints against him."

When Qingyi said this, he suddenly thought of something and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Just now I was wondering why you were so depressed today. You almost forgot that Commander Bullinger was your savior.

You would feel worse if you saw him being criticized than if you failed to complete the task."

Seeing that Qingyi had seen through his thoughts, Zhu Yuan no longer concealed it and simply nodded in acknowledgement.

"Well, if Chief Bullinger hadn't saved me in the Hollow, I probably wouldn't be alive today, let alone becoming a sheriff."

Zhu Yuan also knew that Bullinger's reputation had declined a lot, but in her personal opinion, a person who could give his anti-corrosion equipment to his children would not become a bad person, right?

After all, many of the Sheriff Bureau's equipment needs to be jointly developed with TOPS, so dealing with them is unavoidable.

Qingyi listened to Zhu Yuan constantly defending his superior, neither denying nor confirming.

This tells her that different people have different opinions on Chief Bullinger's actions, and as sheriffs, they only need to know what to do and what not to do.

Commander Bullinger must also know this. As long as he feels that he has a clear conscience, even if there are misunderstandings, they will eventually be resolved.

After Qingyi's persuasion, Zhu Yuan felt much better. At the same time, she also discovered that Zhe and Ling had come near them.

"Sorry, it looks like we interrupted you."

"It's okay. Senior and I were just chatting. How's it going? Did you find those three residents?"

Hearing Zhu Yuan's question, Zhe also told the final result. After learning that no one among the three was willing to participate, the former was not surprised.

"Sorry, that wasn't much help."

Ling had just seen Zhu Yuan's depressed look, so she was still a little embarrassed at this time, but the latter shook his head.

"It's okay. We're already very grateful that you were able to contact them. We've almost finished collecting the questionnaires for Liufen Street. In that case, my senior and I will return to the bureau..."

"Wait a moment, both sheriffs, please stay!"

Before Zhu Yuan could finish his words, Master Qiao Pu shouted from a distance and then ran over panting.

Seeing him like this, Zhe immediately signaled him to take a deep breath, relax and speak slowly, but Master Qiao Pu still spoke with an anxious look on his face.

"Wait, wait, I can't wait. I can't explain it in a few words. Anyway, a case just happened over there, and now it's at a stalemate. Miss Sheriff, please go over and take a look!"

Master Qiao Pu pointed to the street on one side and spoke under heavy breath. Although his words were not very clear, Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi also realized the seriousness of the matter.

Then, under the guidance of Master Qiao Pu, they went to the scene of the crime, and Zhe and Ling followed them.

Soon, at the end of the street, I saw a crowd of onlookers and a stalled truck, with a man yelling at the change from the 141 grocery store.

Seeing this, the onlookers also helped to give the change and spoke.

Chapter 94 Looking for Ducks

"Please calm down, everyone. We are sheriffs. What is going on here?"

After seeing someone arguing, Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi immediately stepped forward to stop the conflict from escalating further.

The man who had been talking loudly did not show any sign of backing down when he saw this. Instead, he seemed to be relieved.

"Thank God, you're here. This is what happened..."

After his explanation, everyone learned that his name was Gail, and he was a truck driver for Tianma Express. He had just come to this area to deliver goods today.

But just after making the call, he suddenly heard a bang, followed by the sound of the truck door opening, and then all the ducks loaded on the train ran away.

Gail was unable to stop the rare ducks from escaping, and only saw a panicked Bomb, the change from the 141 grocery store, standing next to the carriage.

"Hmm...hmm...hmm." (No...it's not me...I didn't do anything wrong with the change.)

After hearing Gail's fierce accusation, Change seemed frightened, but still timidly said that he was innocent.

Gail firmly believed that it was Change who let the duck run away, while Master Tinman and others believed that he would not do such a thing. The two sides held different opinions and argued endlessly.

Even Zhe, a bystander, felt overwhelmed by this situation, not to mention Zhu Yuan who had to deal with it.

"We will definitely handle this matter properly, so everyone please stay calm."

There was no point in continuing to argue like this, so under Zhu Yuan's persuasion, Gale decided to make concessions.

He said that as long as all the escaped ducks were found within today, he would accept the settlement.

After hearing what he said, the onlookers, including Master Dingman, all scattered to help find the duck.

It can be seen that the residents of Liufen Street are really helpful. After the residents left, only Zhe and Ling, the two victims and the sheriff were left at the scene.

Because there was no surveillance at the scene, if we wanted to get any valid evidence, we had to investigate Bombu's visual records.

But this would probably take two or three days. Zhu Yuan didn't want to give the residents the impression that the sheriff was shirking his duties, so she decided to continue investigating with Qingyi.

By the way, they helped the residents find ducks. Seeing this, Zhe and Ling naturally offered to help, after all, they had Fairy.

Although she couldn't expose the latter's existence, it was still possible for her to analyze where ducks might be hiding on the street.

After grouping, it was finally decided that Zhu Yuan and Zhe would be in one group, and Qingyi would be in one group with Ling, and then they set out separately to look for ducks.

"Zhu Yuan, let's go this way."

Zhe walked in front to lead the way. As a local resident, he was familiar with the area and it was most appropriate for him to lead the way.

"Um, okay, sorry to bother you again."

"Don't say that, we are friends. This little thing is nothing. Besides, this is just to help with the change."

When Zhe said this, a strong momentum seemed to form around him. Could this be the legendary helpful good guy character?!

The powerful influence made Zhu Yuan stunned, and then he nodded.

"You're right, it's my words that seem too unfamiliar."

Zhu Yuan's favorability increased by 3 points, and the current favorability is 68 points. The emotional value gained is 200 points, and the current emotional value is 14000 points.

Being able to improve the favorability was an unexpected surprise, and Zhe then brought Zhu Yuan to the nearest location marked by Fairy.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a modification shop. Zhu Yuan was a little bit unconvinced that a duck could enter such a place, but he could vaguely hear the quacking of ducks coming from inside the door.

However, the owner, Uncle Enzo, was not at home. After searching nearby, the two found him on a nearby street.

But it wasn't just Uncle Enzo. There was also a car that had an accident next to him. The driver was an old woman, but the victim was not Uncle Enzo, but another black Bomb that fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhe also stepped forward to help Uncle Enzo fix the Bang Bang Bu. Zhu Yuan couldn't help but marvel at this. He didn't expect that Uncle Enzo had this ability.

After this little episode, the two successfully entered the store with the help of Uncle Enzo and caught the duck.

The two then found a duck in a Coke box piled on the street, but after heading to the next location, they ran into Qingyi and Ling whom they had separated from before.

The two of them were looking at a truck in distress. After some inquiries, Zhe and Zhu Yuan also found out that there was a duck hiding under the truck.

The inner position is completely out of reach, which is one of the reasons why Qingyi and the others have been reluctant to take action. In addition, Qingyi is afraid that her method will damage the truck.

"Hey! Got it!"

At this moment, Ling suddenly raised her index finger and put on a smile, as if she had come up with a good idea, but Zhe, who knew her, had a bad feeling.

Suddenly, she pinched her throat and screamed a few times. The sound was like an eagle, which scared the ducks under the car so much that they huddled even tighter.

Seeing this, Qingyi looked at Ling with a strange expression.

"From the sound of that, are you trying to imitate the duck's natural enemy? To scare it out? But I'm afraid it won't work. After all, when an animal encounters a natural enemy, its instinct is to hide or run away."

"Well, actually, I was trying to imitate the quacking of a duck to lure it out."

Ling explained somewhat awkwardly, and then the others discussed calling the grocery store's helper, hoping they would start the car and scare the ducks out.

As luck would have it, the car broke down at this time, and Qingyi said that it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others.

Then, in front of everyone, he pushed the truck away with his delicate white arms, and then caught the duck while it was still in a daze.

After everyone searched, the last duck was caught in the parking lot behind the video store shortly afterwards.

The duck-finding session ended here, and Zhu Yuan and Qing Yi also expressed their gratitude to them at this time.

But the latter was a little confused as to why Zhe and Ling always knew the exact location of the duck. If they were not together all the time, Qingyi would have suspected that they had deliberately hidden the duck.

Fortunately, they were able to get away with it in the end, and Qingyi didn't delve too deeply into it.

"Hmm, that's weird, why are the headlights flashing?"

At this time, Zhe also noticed that there was something wrong with his car not far away. The headlights were flashing and the wipers were swinging left and right.

Chapter 95: Qing Yi with a troubled expression

Looking at the car in front of him that had problems, Zhe did not suspect that he had forgotten to turn off the lights, because after he turned off the lights, the car lights were still flashing uncontrollably.

It seemed that there was definitely a problem, but what was puzzling was that he had the car repaired not long ago.

When he heard what he said, Qingyi beside him immediately grasped the key point, and Zhu Yuan couldn't help asking when he saw this.

"What's wrong? Senior, you suddenly look thoughtful."

"Well, do you think that all the things we encountered today have something in common?"

After hearing Qingyi's words, Zhe also reacted.

"Yes, it's all related to the vehicles, and these vehicles have more or less broken down."

Whether it was the grocery store truck, the car that hit Bangbu from the modification shop, the car from the video store, or the Tianma Express truck...

No, not only that, including the car accident that almost hit Ling a few days ago, there have been five incidents.

Mentioning this, Ling suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, it wasn't my fault, but my phone was malfunctioning at the time and I was focused on this, so I didn't look at the car."

Hearing this, Qingyi suddenly felt that he had discovered something again, and then asked Ling about the details of the mobile phone malfunction at that time.

Although the latter was a little confused about this, he still explained the situation honestly, such as the mobile phone suddenly had no signal and colorful stripes appeared on the screen, but it returned to normal soon after.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, and then looked at Qingyi beside him, who had an expression that said, "As expected."

"Senior, do you remember the driver said he was on the phone when the incident happened? If we are not mistaken, something else must have happened at the time of the incident."

Zhu Yuan looked serious at this moment, and suddenly entered a state of serious work, and the same was true for Qingyi beside him.

Thinking back to when he said he felt dizzy when he was giving the change, I think it was the same reason.

However, further investigation is needed, so they decided to return the duck first.

Then Zhe asked Gale about the situation at that time, and sure enough, his cell phone was inexplicably turned off at that time.

Seeing that Ling was still confused about this, Zhe started to explain it to her.

"Ling, I have a guess. What happened these past few days might have been caused by EMP."

Ling was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then Qingyi's voice came from behind her.

"Zhe, your guess is absolutely right, Mr. Driver. Have you heard of an EMP launcher, or electromagnetic pulse launcher?"

"Hmm, I haven't heard of it. What is that?"

"In short, once this transmitter is activated, it will affect nearby electronic equipment, causing component failures at best, and burning out the entire device at worst. Using this, it would be a piece of cake to open an electronic lock."

After hearing Qing Yi's words, Gale couldn't help but be stunned, then looked at the change beside him and spoke with a complicated expression.

"So, this Bomb is actually a victim like me, and someone else is responsible for the crime?"

"Yes, this is the truth of the case."

Zhu Yuan nodded and confirmed Gale's statement, and the latter regretted it very much.

Then he immediately and sincerely apologized to Change, and Change, who was kind-hearted by nature, naturally forgave him without hesitation, which made Gail feel even more guilty.

"Miss Sheriff, who is the criminal who caused the case? Have you caught him?"

After hearing Gale's words, Zhu Yuan nodded and told them not to worry.
