Play Speak
While Saphir and Funina were arguing over the script changes, Chizhi had already brought Ying and Paimon to a newsstand.
"Here it is." Chizhi stopped, indicating that they had arrived.
Paimon was very confused. She looked around for a long time but found nothing, so she asked, "Huh? There's no one around. Where is the captain of the lance team?"
Qianzhi pointed directly and said, "That's the one over there wearing an eye patch, reading a book in front of the newsstand."
Following the direction of her finger, Ying and Paimon finally found a different person.
She was a short girl with purple hair. Her dress was not particularly exquisite, but just neat. She wore a very ordinary special training team uniform and a police hat on her head. There was nothing particularly attractive about her. If anything, she had an eye patch on her left eye, which was probably the only special thing about her.
People's temperament and aura are developed in daily life, and Xia Wole is no exception. Having performed various tasks for a long time, she has naturally developed a majestic aura, which cannot be hidden.
So, after Qianzhi's reminder, Paimeng still saw some clues: "Oh! It's her. I was wondering why her temperament is different from those around her. She gives people a very majestic feeling!"
"You guys wait here for a moment, I'll go call her over. It's her working hours now, and it would be troublesome if I went over directly." Qianzhi didn't care whether the little guy really saw something or was just trying to save face, it made no difference to her.
But the working hours confused Paimon: "Working hours? But isn't she just standing there reading a novel?"
"Just listen to me." Qianzhi didn't explain too much and walked straight towards Xiawolei.
Watching Chizhi go away, Paimon scratched his head, somewhat confused: "I always feel that Chizhi gives people a very mysterious feeling. She says she is just a clothes maker, but she knows so many great people."
"Fontaine is not very tolerant of foreign visitors. It is not easy to promote your own brand here, not to mention the highly competitive fashion industry." Xavier accepted this well.
Fontaine is a country that pays attention to fashion. In this country, trends are always something that countless people flock to. Now this place is leading the trend and becoming a trendsetters. As a foreigner, Qianzhi must have experienced countless hardships and obstacles.
She uses all kinds of means, both overt and covert, illicit and tangible, one after another. The fact that she can carve out a name for herself here shows that this woman is not simple.
Xavier laughed at himself and said, "Even a local like me has a hard time taking a photo. I can't imagine how Ms. Chiori could get to where she is today. It definitely won't hurt to get to know more people."
Looking at Qianzhi walking over, Ying suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Do you think Qianzhi has some hidden identity? Just like the owner of Yanshang Teahouse is actually the second seat of the Fatui, then it doesn't seem unacceptable that Qianzhiya is the tenth seat of the Fatui?"
"Don't say such terrible things!" Little Paimon quickly interrupted his friend's speculation, "But... speaking of it, don't you think that Saphir is even more terrifying if you think about it this way?
No matter which country we went to, she seemed like a native and could do things with ease that we simply could not do.”
Even the seizure of the Heart of God was accomplished without anyone noticing, which was what she found most exaggerated.
Among the several Hearts of God currently available, only the transaction process of the Heart of the God of Rock was carried out in front of Ying, and they had no idea how the other Hearts ended up in Saphir's hands.
"Even the locals can't do those things, right?" Ying felt that this was not her problem. It was irresponsible to compare herself with monsters. She didn't want to compare herself with Safir. It would hurt her self-esteem.
While they were chatting, Qianzhi had already walked up to Xiawolei and casually said, "Reading during work hours?"
"Yeah, a detective novel." Xiawolei stared at the book in her hand, turning a page as she spoke. She seemed to be really immersed in the plot of the novel.
Qianzhi also came over and took a book and flipped through it: "Monologue?"
"No, more protagonists, more branches." Xia Wulei shook her head slightly.
"Where is the plot at?" Qianzhi really had no interest in the book in her hand, so she simply closed the book and stared at Xia Wole.
Xia Wulei also gently closed the book: "One of the protagonists is about to make a decision that will determine the fate of the rest of his life. I bet he makes the wrong choice."
"Can you be quick? I have something to ask you." Chizhi put the book back and urged.
Xiawolei also put the books on the bookshelf and said calmly: "It doesn't depend on me, you know, it depends on what the protagonist chooses."
"So I'm here to help you, right?" Qianzhi sighed lightly and moved to the side imperceptibly. Her eyes were still on the bookshelf, but her peripheral vision had already locked onto the two men not far away.
Obviously, they didn't talk about the plot of the novel from the beginning, but were talking about the target of Xiawolei's work this time: two suspects, or two people who attempted to commit a crime.
The two men under surveillance were now completely unaware of their situation. One of the older men was the owner of a bookstall. The moment Qianzhi moved and blocked Xiawolei's sight, he suddenly turned around and started tinkering with something in an inconspicuous place.
The other man wearing glasses was waiting anxiously.
Soon, the bookstall owner handed the prepared things to the man with glasses.
Xia Volei did not see this scene, but there was no need to do so, because this step to block the view was intentional. The seemingly sweet fruit of sin always produces bitter wine that is hard to swallow.
She sighed with some disappointment. This is probably what it feels like to watch someone make the wrong choice and fall into the abyss.
"Well, it seems that he made the wrong choice after all." Xia Wole was not a pretentious person. After determining the criminal's modus operandi, the next step was to capture him.
The man with glasses got the things and was about to leave when he heard Xia Wo Lei suddenly yelled, "Stop!"
Her shout startled the two men, and the man with glasses paused in his steps.
The book stall owner reacted quickly. Although he was a little flustered, he still pretended to be confused and asked, "What...what are you doing?"
Xia Wole ignored him and walked straight to the man with glasses, blocking his way: "Hand over what's in your hand."
The man with glasses still wanted to put up a fight, saying, "It's just a book. I didn't buy anything else."
"Then you wouldn't mind letting me see it, right?" Xia Wole turned around, raised her head slightly, and looked directly into the other person's eyes.
This is also a common method of arrest. After all, if you don't reveal your identity, people may resist. Once you reveal your identity and the other party still resists, it is obstruction of public service, which is an aggravated crime. It is also a kind of psychological oppression that can increase the success rate of arrest.
After all, most people’s first reaction when seeing a police officer is to obey, otherwise they will be asking for trouble.
The book stall owner spread his hands and said, "Officer, I have no problem with you just browsing here all day without buying anything, but please don't scare my customers and make it difficult for me to do business."
At this moment, he was actually very regretful, because Xia Wole had been here for a long time, reading all the time, and he had also been observing her for a long time, but because there was no obstruction, he did not take any action. Just now, Qian Zhi blocked Xia Wole's sight, and he instinctively felt that it was an opportunity, but he did not expect...
Xia Wo Lei didn't care what he was thinking and warned him directly: "Don't pretend here, you can't escape either!"
After warning the stall owner, she once again stared at the man with glasses and said, "I'll say it again, I'm Xiawolei, the captain of the Fontaine Special Patrol. Hand over what you have honestly.
Before you do anything irrational, let me remind you that I can subdue you faster than you can think."
This completely frightened the man with glasses, and he immediately gave in: "I'll give it to you! I'll just hand it over!"
However, after handing over the things, he did not forget to complain: "But I said it before! If there is any contraband in the book, it must be something that the boss stuffed into me without permission. It has nothing to do with me!"
As we all know, after being arrested, as long as you confess faster than your accomplice, you will suffer less than him. After all, if he has confessed and you insist on denying it, you will definitely suffer a lot and be sentenced more severely in the end.
Therefore, everyone must remember that brotherhood is not desirable, and strive to be a good and legal citizen!
The book stall owner was immediately furious when he heard this nonsense: "Hey you! You are the one who is taking advantage of others' misfortune! It was you who said you wanted to..."
The alliance, which was not solid to begin with, completely fell apart. Xia Wole didn't even feel the slightest bit of pressure. She just found it funny. This was how most people were caught. It was normal.
But she sneered in her heart, her face didn't relax at all, her tone was stiff and full of anger: "If you have something to say, go to the interrogation room and argue!
Letellier, take them away." She turned and spoke to a corner not far away.
After a while, a female police officer who looked very capable ran out with a group of patrol officers.
Without saying a word, the crowd handcuffed the two men and took them away.
After the arrest was over, Ying, Paimon, and Xavier walked over to the two.
Little Paimon looked frightened: "What's going on? How come someone was taken away when I was just reading a book?"
"These people..." Xia Volei frowned slightly and looked at Ying and Paimon carefully, "Hmm? Aren't they the travelers I often saw in the newspapers before? Are you talking about them, Chizhi?"
Qianzhi nodded slightly, confirming Xiawolei's guess.
Seeing Qianzhi nod, Xia Wole no longer concealed anything and told her everything that happened today: "Okay, it doesn't hurt to tell you about it."
After all, strictly speaking, this matter actually has something to do with Ying.
"After the Vache incident, the source of Les has been cut off. But the Fontaine Guard has been recovering the remaining share that had previously flowed into the market.
Thanks to a reliable source, that was the last batch." Xia Wole said succinctly and directly explained the essence of the matter.
Little Paimeng suddenly realized: "It turns out that Xiawolei was reading over there in order to catch criminals..."
Halfway through her speech, she suddenly realized, "Oh, by the way, we haven't been formally introduced yet. My name is Paimon, this is Ying, and this is Xavier."
"Hello, I'm Xia Wole. I don't need to introduce myself again." Xia Wole nodded slightly to several people.
Ying then expressed her doubts: "Why not arrest them directly?"
"Are you afraid that the information I provided is inaccurate? We must catch him in the act." Chizhi also started to complain.
The source of information for Xia Wole's action today was Qianzhi. Qianzhi's clothing store always gathered all kinds of people from all walks of life, so she was able to learn many unknown secrets.
She would filter and analyze the intelligence, then share the useful information with Chavore, doing her part for the peace of Fontaine.
Many people don’t understand how their information was leaked. Who would have thought that a seemingly ordinary clothing store could actually be an intelligence distribution center?
It can only be said that Qianzhi's foreign identity and cold appearance confused many people, making them unaware of this very obvious thing.
Xia Wole shook her head and said, "No, I trust your information absolutely, but I also want to see if the owner will surrender himself, so I thought about giving him a chance.
That's why I came back here and waited here all day.
He could have walked up to me and said he had picked up those Les from somewhere. If he did that, I would not have pursued the matter.”
"But he didn't do that the whole day. Instead, after I helped him block your sight, he immediately seized the opportunity to sell it." Qianzhi looked at Xia Wole with a smile, as if mocking her unnecessary kindness.
Xia Wulei was also helpless. She shrugged and said, "Well, he chose the wrong path. But the right path was only three steps away from him."
"You know, they can't make the right choice." Qianzhi was much more open-minded about this. She had seen too many lunatics and lawless maniacs, and even she herself was not a law-abiding citizen.
Xia Wulei nodded when she heard this: "I know, I just hope I'm wrong once."
She rarely makes mistakes, or almost never makes mistakes. She always has a meticulous observation of criminal behavior and the same is true for her control over people's hearts.
So if she identified a person as a criminal, then she would be right. This bothered her a little, because she really wanted to see someone who could reject their desires and overcome the greed and negative emotions in their hearts.
It’s a pity that she has never seen him together in all these years of working.
The rest of the people were silent, and the atmosphere became heavy.
Xia Wole then shook her head, breaking the atmosphere and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. What do you want from me?"
