Absolute Zone Zero: I am a Succubus in Six Points Street

"At first, the officials at the Public Security Bureau realized that no matter how many times they issued warnings, the rope nets were still being used. As a result, Zhu Yuan proposed the strategy of 'Loosening is worse than blocking'..."

It was not difficult to hear some complaints from Qingyi in his words, but he obviously did not object.

“Since citizens have practical needs that are not readily apparent, and they cannot always turn to the Public Security Bureau for help, the rope net will naturally appear.

If every sheriff can set aside a fixed amount of time to do community service and help citizens solve practical difficulties.

Once the public trust in the Public Security Bureau is established, the first step in the plan to completely eradicate the rope nets will have been achieved."

"Is this the solution to the problem?"

After listening to Qingyi's words, Ling couldn't help but feel a little worried. If the number of users of rope nets really decreased, wouldn't it be more difficult for them, the rope craftsmen, to accept future commissions?

If the main account was still there, there would be no need to worry, but the current account can only be considered slightly famous.

"As expected of Zhu Yuan, she came up with such a comprehensive plan. It really makes me... feel at ease!"

Zhe and Ling both felt a little sweaty. After all, from Qingyi's perspective, there were two third-class merit standing in front of her.

"Well, it's indeed a good plan. However, Zhe, you are so sure of Zhu Yuan's ability. Could it be that you have taken a fancy to her? If that's true, Senior, I can act as a matchmaker for you~"

"Uh, no thanks, thank you for your kindness, Qingyi."

"Oh! I almost forgot, you like my type, that would be difficult. It seems that there is no one else in the Public Security Bureau. How about considering the granddaughters of my old friends?"

"Hey, what were we talking about just now?"

Seeing that the situation seemed to be going astray, Ling quickly spoke up to remind them. After hearing this, Qingyi returned to the topic of community service.

"To be honest, I'm not entirely convinced by this good plan...it's mainly because the citizens' needs are so unique."

Qingyi sighed as she spoke, and then gave a few examples, such as 'testing whether your fiancé would hook up with other women behind your back'.

There were also things like, "I suspect some mysterious force is haunting 6fen Street. Please, sheriff, exorcise it." But the sheriff isn't a Taoist priest from the Nine Civilizations! How could he insist on exorcising ghosts?

"Even worse! My partner today! That guy, just a second ago, was preaching about community service, which seemed a bit trivial, inspiring awareness and being far-sighted. But before I could even take a sip of hot water, he quickly took over an incident elsewhere, grabbed Atsushi, and slipped away."

Qingyi clenched his fists and said these words in one breath with a slight grit of teeth. He even coughed twice because of choking, and then shook his head.

"Ahem, young people nowadays..."

Seeing Qingyi sighing like that, Zhe couldn't help but feel sorry for her, so he took the initiative to propose.

"Actually, not all young people are like that. If Qingyi needs a partner, I wonder if I can be competent?"

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be interested in this kind of thing."

"No, it's mainly to help you, Qingyi."

"Well……!"

Qingyi was slightly stunned after hearing this, as if she didn't know how to respond to Zhe's words.

"Well, if you want to use the excuse of helping someone to steal other things, you're going to be disappointed."

"Ha~ Actually, I just wanted to help Qingyi."

In response to Qingyi's direct and explicit behavior, Zhe just shrugged his shoulders. Maybe he really just wanted to help?

"Well...if you're willing to assist me, it would be a great help. I'll verbally appoint you as Assistant Sheriff."

"Haha, brother, you can go ahead and leave the store to us!"

Seeing this, Ling had no intention of trying to persuade him to stay. She decided to send Zhe out first. It was a rare opportunity to watch a movie. If she left him at home, who knows when he would start...

"Then I'll take care of the other point-to-point service appointments first. We'll meet on the street later."

Qingyi waved his hand, turned around and left.

Not long after, when Zhe came to the street near the station to meet Qingyi, he happened to see her talking to a child.

"Huh? Isn't this Hurley?"

Zhe recognized the Greek kid in front of him, who also lived on Liufen Street.

"Ah, it's Brother Zhe. He and He Li just asked the sheriff if they could... well... but Dad said we can't be willful..."

"Herli, why don't you talk first? Don't worry about anything weird, just say what you want to say."

Qingyi crossed his arms across his chest and softly and gently comforted He Li in front of him. Only then did the latter muster up the courage to speak.

"Well, actually it's Hurley's good friend Teddy. He's been missing for a few days!"

"Missing? Hmm...it seems there haven't been any missing persons cases filed in this area."

While Qingyi was speaking, he had already quickly looked up the relevant information, and then continued to ask for details.

"Has Hurley been to the sheriff's station with Mom and Dad recently?"

"No, no... Dad said that we just moved out of the old subway area, so we don't have the energy to care about Teddy's affairs... But, but... Hurley is really worried... Wuwu..."

As Hurley spoke, she couldn't help crying.

Chapter 176: The feeling of being cared for?

"It's okay, little Hurley did the right thing!"

Seeing He Li crying softly, Zhe also spoke to comfort her. Qingyi beside her nodded and said softly.

"The Assistant Sheriff is right. A disappearance is no small matter. It must be handled by the Sheriff's Department. Does Hurley have a photo of Teddy?"

"Yes, there are a lot, but...but when we moved last time, we were in a hurry to get on the evacuation train...so all our luggage was..."

He Li felt a little disappointed when she said this, but Qing Yi said firmly that it was okay, and then asked her a few more questions.

Like height and weight, and as little Hurley answered Qingyi's questions without hesitation, Qingyi drew a portrait of Teddy as he said - Teddy was actually a shark tooth cloth.

"It looks like this, right?"

Qingyi handed the paper with Teddy's face drawn on it to little Hurley, who nodded excitedly.

"Yes! The sheriff's sister drew it beautifully. This is Teddy! After all these days, can we still find him?"

"Citizen Hurley, your case is now accepted."

Hearing Qingyi's formal answer, He Li was immediately very happy, and Zhe, who was standing beside her, smiled when he saw this scene.

Qing Yi is indeed a gentle senior...

Then Qingyi asked the last question, which was when and where Hurley last saw Teddy.

After learning that it was at the Gravity Cinema, Qingyi couldn't help but be a little surprised, because that place is next to the Public Security Bureau branch. She didn't expect a missing person case to happen there...

"Is this what they call a dark side under the lamp? It's definitely worth investigating."

Zhe could understand this situation. After all, he was also using the method of opening a video store to hide his identity as a rope maker.

The two then sent Hurley back home, and then went to the Gravity Cinema in Guangying Plaza together. When they arrived nearby, Qingyi suddenly stopped.

"Wait a moment... Um, I've already scanned all 283019 surveillance videos in this area."

"Wow, so amazing, should I say it's worthy of being called Qingyi?"

"We just retrieved the surveillance footage from the database for data analysis and pattern recognition. We did find some footage of Teddy, but it was a little strange...

That day, Teddy walked out of the cinema with popcorn in his hand, looking around as if for something, and the last place he disappeared was this parking lot.

Qingyi looked around. Although several days had passed, she felt that she should still search the place thoroughly.

"Well, leave it to me then."

Let's not talk about finding things, he is already very familiar with it. After all, from finding lost items commissioned by the rope maker to finding Ling's lost underwear and socks, these are all no problem.

"Well, young people are so energetic. I'll leave it to you, Assistant Sheriff."

Zhe was given the task of investigating the surrounding situation, while Qingyi had to re-analyze the surveillance video to see if there was anything missed.

Not long after, Zhe had searched all the clues nearby and returned to find Qingyi, who also let out a light exclamation upon seeing this.

"From the looks of you, it seems like you've discovered something?"

"Yes, but I'm not sure if it will be useful. I have to ask Qingyi to identify it."

"Ah."

Qingyi nodded, then scanned the evidence brought back by Zhe, and finally fixed his eyes on a poster.

The words [TO He Li] were written on it in a blurry handwriting. After a careful scan, it was found that there were residues of highly active ether substances after a violent reaction, and the value was not low.

It is very suspicious that objects outside the cavity would be contaminated with such a high concentration of ether residue, but this also makes the search easier.

Qingyi also found the suspicious vehicle parked here when Teddy disappeared. If it is related to the disappearance case, the car must be contaminated with ether residues.

The two of them hit it off immediately and went to the parking lot to check out the suspicious vehicle, which was a classic white van.

(Why classic? Because human traffickers often used this type of vehicle.)

Sure enough, there were remnants of a violent reaction of highly active etheric substances on the rear wheel.

"So, this car owner is highly suspicious."

"Well, but criminal investigations rely on hard evidence. You need to stay calm right now. It's okay. Leave the security of this car to me. I don't need to sleep anyway."

Qingyi spread his hands calmly, but Zhe didn't think so.

"No, if I don't rest at all, even if Qingyi's body is fine, she will be mentally exhausted, right?"

"Well, that Zhu Yuan guy always advises me the same thing. I can only say that I'm worrying too much. They're all like this, Zhu Yuan, little He Li, and now Lian Zhe too.

Humans are really interesting creatures, projecting so many emotions onto something that is clearly not alive.”

Qingyi chuckled and shook his head, his expression and tone seemed a little depressed, not as energetic as usual.

“Although helping citizens is my duty as a peace officer, Teddy is just a Bomb after all.

After all, the purpose of the existence of intelligent machines is to be able to be abandoned instead of humans when encountering danger.

Even though I have an advanced model like the 01G6, it is just a Bomb with more complex functions.

Regarding matters of life and death, I believe Teddy and I are in the same boat. I don’t have any obsessions myself, but I didn’t expect Hurley to be so sad…”

"Isn't this as it should be?!"

"Ugh?"

Qingyi stood there in a daze for a moment, obviously not expecting Zhe to suddenly speak to her so loudly, and at this time the latter continued.

"Excuse me, Qingyi, I want to ask, what do you think humans should be like?"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"Humans are not that cruel. We have emotions and will develop feelings for things that have been with us for a long time. Hurley will feel sad about Teddy's disappearance because in her eyes, Teddy is not only a friend but also a family member.

Besides that, there's also my Yi... Xiao 18, or Qing Yi, aren't you also people with emotions, families, and friends? We care about you, so we can't say such reckless words."

Zhe's words made Qingyi stand there quietly, as if she was thinking about the meaning of them. After a long time, the corners of her mouth gradually curled up.

“So, humans are really interesting creatures. But don’t worry, Zhe. Neither Bomb nor Yuou are as fragile as humans.

Today's investigation was very fruitful. With these clues, we can apply for a formal search warrant from the Sheriff's Department."

Chapter 177 Qingyi: If your body is broken, just buy a new one.

"If I need your help later, I'll contact you. Bye then."

After saying this, Qingyi waved her hand and left without looking back. On the way back, she kept thinking about what Zhe said.

"The feeling of being cared about? Humph, just like before, Zhu Yuan didn't want me to sacrifice temporarily?"

Even as I said this, Zhe's figure appeared in my mind. This young man had taught me a lesson...

……

In the video store, after Zhe returned home, Ling, Odilea and Odette immediately came forward.

"Brother, you're back. I see you haven't removed the rope net yet. How's it going?"

"Please, how can it be eradicated so quickly?"

Zhe looked at Ling speechlessly, then told her what happened today. As for the two sisters beside him, they had already gone to prepare dinner.

"Is that so? Okay! In any case, it's still necessary to have some connections in the Public Security Bureau.

So whether it's Qing Yi or Zhu Yuan, brother must take one, or both?"
