Chapter 165 The Woman in the Attic

Chapter 165 The Woman in the Attic
Of course Qianye remembered that both she and Su Lei made the same judgment on the information given by that photo—either cut it in half or gouged out its eyes.

"Let's talk about that woman again," Su Lei continued, "Foye said that she couldn't speak, she could only whimper. Fernan locked her in the attic of another courtyard, and she howled every night. At the same time, he beat the iron grid with shackles. During that time, Foye slept in another courtyard, and was tortured by this sound every night, causing him insomnia.

"After being locked up for about a week, the woman's voice disappeared, and Foye didn't know where she was sent to. I only knew that Fernan had constant nightmares after that. For this reason, he specially made an appointment with a very famous person from the third district. Consultant treatment. The treatment lasted about three months, and Fernand's sleep returned to normal."

Qianye listened for a long while, and frowned suspiciously, "...the woman you are talking about is not red-haired, is it?"

"That's the problem!" Su Lei's voice instantly rose, "I asked Foye the same question, and he said he wasn't sure, because the woman had her hair and eyebrows shaved—but it's not a big deal. The red hair of the Hesta tribe is too conspicuous, and it is a feature that can determine the identity at a glance... But what is going on, we still have to find Maya to be sure."

Su Lei continued to flip the notebook backwards, "Before exiling Maya, Fernan burned Maya's cheeks with a soldering iron, so in theory this person should have obvious characteristics - there are burn scars on both cheeks, although it is a needle in a haystack. , but with this clue, I think I can try my luck in the wasteland!"

"Have you reported to headquarters?"

"Reported, but they suggested that I wait until Rishi's squatting is over—maybe Victoria and the others can catch the murderer directly. I said that these two things are not contradictory and can be done at the same time. But AHgAs replied that manpower is very tight recently, and there is no way to arrange for me to accompany me with mercury injections."

After Si Lei finished speaking in one breath, she eagerly grabbed Qianye's arm, "That's why I'm here to find you."

The corners of Qianye's mouth sank slightly, and she didn't answer right away. She pretended to be thinking and continued to look at Si Lei's notebook, but she was thinking about something else: She really needed some excuses to temporarily avoid being with this unknown "" Mutants" confrontation.

If Victoria catches this mutant two days later, most of the crisis on Jane's side will be resolved—whether Fernan was killed by this "mutant" or not, he can be pushed to its head at that time superior.

If after two days this "Deviant" breaks through Victoria's defenses and successfully completes the hunt for Rishi, then she can temporarily release Jane on bail through special regulations.

——In the entire Third District, besides myself, who else has more experience in dealing with deformers than Jane?In order to deal with a highly dangerous enemy, it's not too much for her to ask for a helper to come and cooperate, right?
When chatting with Stella last night, Qianye almost thought that her plan had been seen through, but luckily it was just a false alarm.

"How long do you expect to spend in the wasteland?" Chiba asked.

"Without you, I'd probably go out for a month by myself."

"Is one month enough?"

"Going out by car, you can roughly cover the six nearby wastelands in a month-but it's still a bit dangerous for me to go alone in Short Ming Lane, and I don't trust the support from Paule or Avinash..." Si Lei paused briefly, and then said, "If you are willing to participate, at the speed of your mercury needles, it is no problem to run through six wastelands in one day. Counting the time for investigation and visits, it is optimistically estimated that two or three days, or a week at the longest, can basically cover the entire area." End the investigation."

"How is it?" Si Lei asked.

Qianye came back to her senses, she smiled and handed the notebook back to Si Lei, "Without the approval from above, I can't be your means of transportation."

Si Lei thought that Qianye might refuse, but she really didn't expect the other party to refuse so quickly. She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly wondered if there was something wrong with her choice of words: "It's not like being a 'transportation vehicle'—"

"I didn't say no. On the contrary, I am very interested in this process. I can accompany you to Duanming Lane first, and then I can accompany you all the way." Qianye looked out the window, "But, I am in November You must return to the habitable place on the 11th, you can arrange your itinerary based on this, and if everything goes well, I will come to meet you again."

"Okay, is that an important day?"

"Jane's first court hearing is on the 13th, and I must attend as a guardian." Chiba replied.

"Understood." Si Lei nodded, and she put away her notebook, "Then go back and get ready now, pack some luggage, I will pick you up downstairs in your apartment in two hours—"

"What? Leave tonight?"

"Time is running out." Su Lei had already put the notebook back into his bag. "If we're lucky, we might be able to find Maya before Rishi's assassination. I have a hunch that the clues she holds must be the key to this case."

Qianye scratched her scalp with a complicated expression - she wanted to go back to take a hot bath tonight.

"Let's just wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"I have to stay here until the next wave of mercury needles comes." Chiba raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm lazy, I'm still lazy, and I still have to finish my shift. I think it's better to wait until tomorrow morning—"

Before Chiba finished speaking, Si Lei pointed to the side door of the hospital downstairs: "Are they the ones you want to wait for?"

In the night, Victoria just came in through the side door of the hospital with a team of bicycles: she brought a newly integrated combat team, a total of 12 people.

Qianye recognized everyone in this team, each of them had faced the aberrants in the wasteland, and two of them should have come from the fourth and fifth districts for support.

This kind of luxury camp is extremely rare, which shows that the headquarters attaches great importance to this matter.

They parked their cars neatly in the bicycle shed at the corner of the hospital. There seemed to be something wrong with the lock of one of them. She squatted on the ground and tossed for a long time but failed to lock the lock. Out of desperation, the man simply stood up. Kicked his car to the ground, then turned around, followed Victoria and the others and disappeared around the corner of the hospital building.

From now on, AHgAs will officially take over Viscount Rich's security work.

"Can we go?"

"...Let's go."

Qianye followed Si Lei through the corridor of the hospital that night.She is like a complete bystander. If it wasn't for the sudden fall of Su Lei from the sky tonight, she should be in a good mood now - after confirming that the murderer who followed the night before was not Hesta, no matter what the result of the day after tomorrow is, She is sure to temporarily release Jane's current state of imprisonment.

She needs to wait.

 Happy New Years Eve everyone!
