Chapter 64 [040] Where is my father-in-law?

Chapter 64 [040] Where is my father-in-law?

Mu Yue was in danger several times tonight. If it were someone else, they would definitely scold the police chief as their uncle, but the police chief knew his niece. If justice must have sacrifices, she was willing to take the altar.

After thinking for a long time, Mu Yue said in a deep voice: "I saw everything inside the red crystal in the collector's luxury car."

Sealed in special reinforced glass and high-purity phlogiston crystal are pairs of beautiful hands. At first glance, they may be mistaken for exquisite works of art, but in fact, they are the ugliest sins in the world.

"I know," the chief of police replied amid the sound of rain. "I'm sending people to search the collector's house. There are mountains of this stuff in his house."

Mu Yue's mood became even more depressed, and she said in a sad tone:

"Uncle, is our family like this?"

"The one who is guilty is the collector, not you." The Chief of Police reminded, "These hands were collected by the collector from the outer city. In theory, he didn't even break the law! We can't resist the company. We can only enforce true justice in corners that the company can't see!"

Outside the opened gull-wing door of the luxury car, Xiao Xia, who was on guard duty, vaguely heard a few words of conversation on the walkie-talkie and couldn't help but feel frightened.

How dare you say "resist the company" on a walkie-talkie? How brave! Aren't you afraid of being caught by the company and turned into a brain machine!
This was the first time that the Chief of Police expressed his true feelings to Mu Yue. Mu Yue knew that her uncle was a workaholic with a strong sense of mission, but it was really risky for the Chief of Police to say that he was willing to enforce justice even at the cost of violating the company's will.

Mu Yue held a glimmer of hope: "Chief of Police, do you think there are any survivors of the owners of these hands? Please search the collector's mansion carefully!"

The Chief of Police: "I'll do my best, but given the Collector's style, it's best not to get your hopes up."

"Mu Yue, I will have these hands freed and buried in a public cemetery. The shattered phlogiston crystals will also be sold at a discount, and I will try to find the victims' families and give them financial compensation."

"My men will report the results of the search to me immediately. Um... they just rescued four beast-eared girls from the collector's study, and there seem to be more in the bedroom. I will ensure their safety, so you don't have to worry."

The Chief of Police's arrangement was very safe. Hearing this, Mu Yue felt that the risk she took tonight was totally worth it.

It was a pity that she failed to save the girl in the car who looked very similar to Vale. Ever since Qin Jiandan appeared, she kept asking herself whether she had done something wrong.

Did I do more than necessary? Would she be safe if I left her alone?

If my eyes could see the future... no, if I could see everything that is happening, would I no longer make choices that I would regret?

The wicked do evil all day long and do not feel ashamed; the good people will feel guilty if they fail to do one thing perfectly.

The Chief of Police added, "The executive chief of District 12 is the guy at the same level as you. I found out that he has committed many acts of dereliction of duty and has long colluded with the collector to provide convenience. He even drove the victim selected by the collector out of the inner city and then chopped off his hand... The people who arrested him are on the way."

Mu Yue said "hmm". Although both the regular city police and the special city police have the word "city police" in their titles, they are more like two different professions. Mu Yue was not familiar with the arrested guy at all.

The Chief of Police finally told Mu Yue to go home and rest early, and then stopped communicating.

"Is the call over?" Xiao Xia wanted to gather information from the policewoman. "Just now, Feng Jian drove over in a van, and the young master jumped on the roof of the van. I was worried! And you told people on the phone that the collector was dead?"

In order to carry out the young master's orders, Xiao Xia stood in the rain while the policewoman sat in the car, which made her quite unhappy.

Before the van rushed over, Donald's large bulldozer forced its way across the canal. The ninjas thought the bulldozer was going to ram into them, but it sped away in the other direction with the crying collector in the bucket.

Mu Yue was also very worried about Qin Jiandan at the time, and tried to start the collector's luxury car to chase him, but soon after, the walkie-talkie rang.

Xiao Xia asked the question, but Mu Yue was still immersed in self-blame and did not answer. Xiao Xia felt that she was being looked down upon and wanted to save some face.

So she pointed the tip of her knife at the red crystals on the leather partition:

"Is this your handicraft? Is it okay to give one to me? I can put it in the group..."

Mu Yue immediately glared at Xiao Xia, which frightened Xiao Xia.

You, what are you so proud of! You are so stingy! And you said you are the eldest daughter of the Han family! There are plenty of crystals dyed with red ink on the street stalls!
※※※

Qin Jiandan ran back along the road for 5 minutes. In order to save time, he did not take the canal floating bridge. When he was still some distance away from the floating bridge, he jumped high into the canal and jumped over.

In other words, he didn't say hello to Sheriff Mu Yue who was sitting in a luxury car near the floating bridge.

It is important to say hello to your wife, but you have already promised in advance to ensure the safety of your father-in-law. What if your father-in-law is killed while you are having a frivolous time with your wife, wouldn't that be counterproductive?
"Granny Thousand Stars! The Nine Ninjas!"

Qin Jiandan started shouting after landing. Under the acid rain, the fire at Residential Building No. 49 gradually died down and visibility decreased. "Young Master! We found your father-in-law!"

Qin Jiandan looked in the direction of the sound and saw two ninjas protecting a middle-aged man, taking shelter from the rain under a house that was partially burnt but still structurally intact.

Fortunately, if my father-in-law was killed in the melee, I really don’t know how to explain to Mu Yue...

The light was dim, and Qin Jiandan realized something was wrong after he approached: why was this father-in-law so fat and had such an ugly rosacea?
Qin Jiandan's face darkened: "Who is this person?"

The two ninjas panicked: "Young Master, this is your father-in-law! Although this suit doesn't look good on him, it must have been bought in the inner city. It's a branded product that cost a lot of money!"

Qin Jiandan glared at him: "The one who is dressed well is my father-in-law! Did you ask clearly? "

One of the more courageous ninjas answered, "Well... although he never directly admitted that he was the young master's father-in-law, didn't Sheriff Mu Yue also never admit that the young master was her husband? I think this makes sense."

The fat man with rosacea had already had his legs trembling. Seeing Qin Jiandan getting angry, he fell to his knees with a thud:

"Mercy! Mercy! I didn't mean to pretend to be the young master's father-in-law! The Jokers killed people indiscriminately, and my bodyguards and I were separated. Fortunately, the two ninja brothers rescued us! Although I don't have a daughter now, I can give birth to one for the young master right away!"

Qin Jiandan was so angry that his nose was crooked. He pointed at the two ninjas who had failed in their duties:
"You two don't need to use your pig brains to think about it. This fat guy is so ugly, how can he give birth to a daughter as beautiful as my wife?"

The two ninjas looked at each other, blaming each other while also complaining in their hearts: We heard that the sheriff's father was a long-term alcoholic, and he became fat and developed rosacea. Isn't it reasonable?
The fat man with rosacea didn't know how he was going to be treated. In order to save his life, he dumped out everything he had:

"I, I am the boss behind the village's fake gladiatorial arena. Although I pay protection money to the clown gang, I have no choice but to do so! By the way, is the father-in-law that the young master is looking for someone from the police department? When I was watching the game, there was a drunkard sitting next to me, and he had a butler..."

Qin Jiandan immediately grabbed the fat man with rosacea by the chest and asked, "Where was the last time you saw them?"

The fat man with rosacea pointed to the nearby arena with a shaking hand:

"They were in the VIP audience seats at the time, and seemed to be being attacked by a clown... Young Master, please spare my life! I am also a clay Buddha crossing the river and can't save myself!"

Qin Jiandan put down the fat man with rosacea, called a ninja to follow him, and then gave instructions to another ninja:
"This fat guy is deliberately hiding the truth, so keep an eye on him. If anything happens to my father-in-law, this fat guy will be buried with him!"

The remaining ninja nodded, and secretly used the handle of the knife to hit the fat man's lower back hard. The fat man screamed in pain:

"Hey! Spare me! Big Brother Ninja, spare me! I haven't done anything against the law! I trained the young gladiators to help them realize their dream of entering the inner city, and the mutant wolfhounds that fought with them were also fed poison beforehand!"

"Go to hell! The young master is angry that you dared to pretend to be his father-in-law!"

The remaining ninja couldn't bear it any longer, so he kicked the fat man hard on the butt to vent his anger at being scolded by his boss.

Qin Jiandan walked to the perimeter of the arena and saw that only one of the surrounding overhead searchlights was still barely lit. The child who had been playing with glass balls in the light was gone, but four glass balls were left in the puddle.

"There's no blood nearby. I hope they managed to escape."

Qin Jiandan bent down and picked up the four glass beads from the ground and held them in his hands. During the last battle with Donald, Qin Jiandan's jacket was corroded, and after throwing it away, the remaining glass beads inside were also gone. Now it was just the right time to replenish ammunition.

If the children playing with glass beads met with misfortune, Qin Jiandan would use the glass beads to avenge them; if they survived by chance, the village would be managed by the Night Dragon Society in the future, and they would be able to live a better life than before. It was a win-win situation.

The front entrance of the arena was filled with corpses of victims, with a few dead clowns occasionally mixed in. Qin Jiandan entered from the back door, which was closer to the VIP stand.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, are you there?" Qin Jiandan didn't know Mu Yue's father's name, so he could only call him father-in-law.

The only remaining searchlight was pointed at the center of the arena. It flickered on and off due to a power failure, reflecting messy footprints and bloodstains on the mud. Visibility on the stands was even poorer.

The ninja who followed Qin Jiandan in held the sword in both hands and looked around vigilantly. He soon discovered something strange in the field:
"Master, all the clowns who invaded the arena are dead. Some were shot to death, but some..."

The low roar of wild beasts broke the silence. As the searchlights flashed several times, three mutant wolfhounds approached the stands, their terrifying blood-red eyes filled with desire for human flesh.

The mutant wolfhound's target was not Qin Jiandan and the ninja, but the two people trapped at the bottom of the stands. One of the men in a black butler's suit was lying on the ground, with a gunshot wound to his shoulder. He was taking off the gas mask on his face and talking breathlessly to the person next to him:

"Master, I can't walk anymore. You run by yourself. Remember... remember to be nicer to the young lady in the future."

"What are you talking about, Nestor?" the man in a white shirt and dark blue police pants shouted, "I'll carry you away even if I have to carry you on my back!"
