Start with a rent-collecting magical girl

Chapter 20: New ways to unlock abilities?
  When Liao Baiyu and Xiao Xia in the car rushed over, the investigators from the fifth group had already cordoned off the scene.

The police officers led them to the trace, and they could clearly see that the green plants here were much more flattened than those around them.

Liao Baiyu squatted down and quickly found several scattered broken grasses from the surroundings. Combining these, it was not difficult to restore the scene last night.

After Han Xiaoyue was scared away by herself, she ran towards the south gate of the park with lights in fear.

But just a few dozen meters away, the girl was knocked down by someone. Han Xiaoyue, who fell among the green plants, resisted desperately, and her hands in the darkness unconsciously grabbed the weeds.

Xiao Xia sealed the broken grass into an evidence bag and gave it to the nearby investigator for testing. As expected, data related to Han Xiaoyue should be collected.

Now that it was basically confirmed that a third party was involved in Han Xiaoyue's disappearance, the attitudes of the five groups of investigators immediately became much more serious.

Soon, team leader Xiao Xia decided to divide the troops into two groups.

A group of investigators went to investigate the last clue left by Han Xiaoyue, the so-called person who "buried the body" late at night. No matter how you look at it, this person will be the biggest suspect in this case.

The remaining investigators, together with her, continued to track the location where the kidnapper might have taken Han Xiaoyue away.

As for Liao Baiyu, he naturally chose to join the latter.

Now that she had found the place where Han Xiaoyue was killed, Xiao Xia continued to analyze the park map. Based on this, she finally narrowed down the kidnapper's escape routes to two.

Before the investigators from the previous five groups arrived, the progress of Liao Baiyu's investigation alone was stuck here.

These two routes correspond to several abandoned gates in Yingxin Park.

Abandoned means that there is no monitoring at all.

They had no way of knowing which door the criminal exited through.

The most direct way that Liao Baiyu thought of was to use the directions of these two exits as an extension, and call out all the surveillance cameras in the nearby blocks one by one. After reviewing them, they would definitely be able to find clues.

But this undoubtedly requires a lot of manpower, which is why Liao Baiyu needs a team of investigators to come in to assist.

However, Xiao Xia later taught Liao Baiyu a lesson.

After glancing at the map once or twice, the female investigator quickly found the contact information of more than a dozen stores from the database of the Public Security Bureau.

After asking his investigators to contact them, unofficial surveillance footage from these stores that were self-reported by the merchants was packaged and sent over soon after.

Although the main images of the surveillance of these self-employed businesses are still the entrances of their respective stores, there are small exits covering a small part of Yingxin Park in the corners of each video.

Relying on his familiarity and understanding of this neighborhood, Xiao Xia quickly locked onto the video of a certain store.

I saw in this surveillance that around 11:39 last night, in the lower right corner of the screen, although it was very blurry, I could still see two men wearing jackets sneaking out of the park in a hurry.

And one of them seemed to be carrying something heavy on his back.

Han Xiaoyue!
  This key clue directly allowed them to locate the direction in which the criminal left.

But before the investigators were happy, after following this route and continuing to trace the path, the last confirmed neighborhood gave everyone a headache again.

District 13-Kowloon Street

Liao Baiyu was also impressed by this.

This place was originally a construction site. It was probably a factory that was planned to be built. However, due to the disaster of the Nightmare Beast in Shadow Heart Garden, the project was cut off in half. All the investors withdrew and the boss ran away, agreeing to settle the settlement for the workers. Of course the salary is gone too.

So the angry workers simply continued to live on the construction site in order to get their wages back. The incident got worse and worse, until they were brought to the mayor's mother, who helped them get their wages back.

But later, maybe because I got used to living there, over time, this place evolved into a shantytown with a mixed bag of fish and dragons.

This kind of place, let alone surveillance, can almost be called a gray area. Most of the people inside have not even registered their identities.

You can imagine how difficult it is to find Han Xiaoyue in such a chaotic place.

"Let's go over there first."

Xiao Xia behaved calmly and was very action-oriented. She greeted the other investigators to get in the car and set off.

Liao Baiyu just followed, but a sudden reminder made him stunned. [Negative emotions from Xu Jiajia +1]

?

Xu Jiajia?
  There is a limit to collecting negative emotions yourself.

Liao Baiyu has tested it, and it is about fifty meters centered on himself.

Now this prompt will appear, there is only one possibility.

Xu Jiajia her
  Did you also come to Yingxin Park late at night?
  And not far away, he had already seen himself with the investigator.

As a test.

Liao Baiyu immediately spoke to the prosecutor next to him and expressed that he wanted to see the handcuffs around his waist. Although the prosecutor was a little confused, he still handed them over.

However, to people who could not hear the sound from a distance, this action looked like the prosecutor was trying to lock Liao Baiyu's hands with handcuffs.

So I jumped a few times following the prompt in front of me.

[Negative emotions from Xu Jiajia +2, +4, +5]

Later, Liao Baiyu briefly fiddled with the handcuffs a few times and then returned them. Xu Jiajia's negative emotional fluctuations obviously dropped a lot.

At this point, it can be completely concluded that the girl has not only discovered him, but has also been paying attention to him.

How could this be?
  Liao Baiyu attaches great importance to the magical girl Xu Jiajia. After all, this is his first pot of gold, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes.

Has she been following him since school?

wrong.

If this were the case, the negative emotion reminder should have popped up long ago, and we wouldn’t have waited until now.

So there is a high probability that it was just a chance encounter.

But why didn't Xu Jiajia go home after school and come to Yingxin Park?

Is there anything here?

If I have to say it, it is nothing more than an ominous place where nightmare beast disasters occurred in people's eyes. It is more desolate and darker?
  Liao Baiyu looked at the dark woods with only a few dim moonlights except for a few street lights on the main road of the park. He seemed to understand.

After the girl was trained by his "dominance blindfold", her subconscious fear of the dark was eliminated a lot.

Xu Jiajia must have discovered this change in his body and deliberately chose this spot to come here.

As for the purpose, I'm afraid it's not the same as him last night.

They all come.
  Test new abilities!

After clarifying this logic, Liao Baiyu felt much more relaxed. As long as nothing happened in the mine, Xu Jiajia's behavior of quietly following him was quite an unexpected surprise.

After all this amounts to nothing.

It's like having a magical girl as a bodyguard!

Liao Baiyu believed that with Xu Jiajia's noble moral character, she would never see her dear classmate and co-habiting landlord in danger. If something really happened, the girl would definitely take action.

But the surprise was not over yet.

Having an extra powerful bodyguard is actually nothing.

More importantly, Liao Baiyu felt like he had been enlightened. His negative emotions reminded him whether there could be another new use besides recording energy harvest.

For example.
  Scouting and Detection.
