Feeling the tug on his cuffs, Huang Bingtian's face turned colder.
He turned his head and spoke word by word to the middle-aged man.
"I just said, I will take these three people back for interrogation, and I will give you an explanation tomorrow! If you are worried that I am bending the law for personal gain, you can go with me."
As he spoke, Huang Bingtian made an inviting gesture to the middle-aged man.
Looking at the coldness in the other person's eyes, the middle-aged man suddenly retreated, waving his hands and shaking his head.
"Hmph, you guys, take these three soldiers to No. 3. I'll be here in a minute!"
Huang Bingtian ordered a few random people among his soldiers.
After saying that, he walked in the direction of Xu Xiaoxiao.
After a period of rest before, Xu Wenxin had climbed up from the ground and was leaning next to Xiao Ran, listening carefully to what the other party was saying.
Seeing Huang Bingtian walking towards her, the girl immediately stood up straight, performed a less than standard military salute, and responded.
"Captain Huang!"
"Well, I saw you in the morning. You are Captain Xu's niece, Xu Xiaoxiao, right?"
Huang Bingtian looked Xu Xiaoxiao up and down, the coldness in his eyes receded and replaced with warm eyes.
"Uh... Yes, Captain Huang, but I joined the army not because of my uncle's relationship, but because I joined voluntarily!"
"Well, I know, you have the qualifications."
Huang Bingtian nodded and continued.
"I can feel your strength. You are a physical enhancement type, first-level ability user, right? And judging from the feeling, you seem to be much stronger than me. Why didn't you use the first-level ability when you were beaten by the survivors just now? Where’s the ability?”
"Reporting to Captain Huang, I'm worried that if I can't control my strength well, I might inadvertently injure the survivors... Well, besides, it doesn't hurt if they hit me, so I just need to defend and wait."
A carefree smile appeared on the girl's face, which was extremely contagious.
Even Huang Bingtian couldn't help but froze when he saw this smile, and the hostility in his body completely faded away.
"Sister Xiao Xiao, you are talking nonsense. They obviously hit you very hard. At the beginning, I even saw you being hit with a stick from behind!"
Xiao Ran, who was standing aside, spoke coldly, his eyes full of injustice.
She no longer pretends to be an ordinary little girl.
Anyway, she has accepted Bai Donggu's invitation to join the army. In this shelter, sooner or later, she will expose her specialness.
Rather than being passive and letting people discover you, it is better to take the initiative and show your abilities at the right time.
Strike first and gain the upper hand has always been the motto of little Lolita!
"Oh? Did any survivors use weapons?"
After hearing Xiaoran's description, Huang Bingtian's brows that had finally relaxed were furrowed again, and he looked at Xu Xiaoxiao as if seeking confirmation.
"Maybe they are too excited. When they see soldiers beating people, they will inevitably do something outrageous..."
As he said that, Xu Xiaoxiao subconsciously touched the back of his neck.
"I'm fine, Captain Huang. I just need to rest for a night...Hey..."
As soon as the fingertips touched the red and swollen skin, they bounced back uncontrollably.
The area hit by the iron rod and wheel was already swollen, and it was obvious that the attacker had really used all his strength.
He wants Xu Xiaoxiao to die!
but
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
However, Xu Xiaoxiao's body was too strong, and even without using his abilities, he still resisted this sap.
Huang Bingtian naturally ignored Xu Xiaoxiao's bravery and reached out to touch the girl's arm to check the scars on the back of her neck.
When he saw the injury clearly, he couldn't help but gasped.
The bruises formed a long strip on the skin, starting from the girl's right shoulder, crossing the spine, and stretching to the left side.
If it were an ordinary person, even if he was not killed directly by this sap, he would probably end up with broken bones and tendons, and hemiplegia.
"Okay, don't be brave. Go to Sister Xu on the 4th to get some medicine and check if the bones are okay. Damn it, these survivors are too cruel..."
Huang Bingtian muttered in his mouth and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he felt someone watching him. He looked around and met the little Loli's gaze.
"Little sister, what do you think I am doing?"
The little loli's face is innocent and cute. Even if she is not deliberately disguised, Huang Bingtian, who is unaware, can still feel affection for her and subconsciously see her as a child.
"Nothing, I just want to ask you what you plan to do next? Are you really going to interrogate those three soldiers?"
Xiaoran didn't explain his specialness, and spoke directly to Huang Bingtian in a tone of conversation between peers.
"Of course you're going to be interrogated... Uh, wait, don't talk like adults, little sister, it's rude."
Huang Bingtian finally discovered Xiaoran's abnormality and added something strange.
"Captain Huang, can't you see what the problem is?"
The blue and black eyes were like a deep pool. Xiaoran looked into the other person's eyes lightly and asked.
"Problem? What problem? Aren't the three soldiers who beat people already found out?"
Huang Bingtian didn't understand what Xiaoran wanted to express.
"Do you really believe what that man said?"
Little Loli asked with her eyes filled with disappointment.
"Uh...what do you mean? No, you are not an ordinary person..."
Huang Bingtian's brows furrowed again. He finally discovered something unusual about the nine-year-old girl in front of him.
Compared with the innocence that should be expected at this age, the little loli in front of her is too calm.
The way of questioning was like being cross-examined by Xu Xiafeng, which made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
"I am a new recruit that Bai Donggu has just recruited into the team. Hello, Captain Huang. My name is Wang Xinran. You can also call me Xiaoran like everyone else."
The little loli stretched out her right hand indifferently, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked like she was happy to meet you.
"Bai Discipline Inspection Commission has just recruited a new recruit into the team? Are you an enhancer? A brain enhancement system?"
Huang Bingtian's face was filled with surprise for a moment, and he even ignored Xiaoran's handshake for a moment.
"So, Captain Huang, what are you going to do?"
Because Huang Bingtian did not extend his right hand in cooperation, Xiaoran could only grab the other person's index finger and shake it symbolically.
"Um, did you see something was wrong?"
Seeing Xiaoran's admission, Huang Bingtian immediately became serious and looked down at the little Lolita in front of him with the eyes he would treat his peers.
"I suggest Captain Huang not to bother interrogating those three soldiers. They are obviously innocent. If you want to know the truth, you only need to wait until the victim wakes up.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Just ask and it will become clear. "
"But how did you tell? Although the middle-aged man's behavior did seem a bit suspicious, he still found three murderers out of twelve soldiers."
Huang Bingtian asked with some confusion.
Seeing that all the survivors around him were almost scattered, Xiao Ran opened his mouth to explain.
"It's very simple. If it was really a soldier who injured someone, the victim would definitely not be alive. Unless you want to kill all the survivors, otherwise the victim will definitely identify you if he is alive."
"Wait a minute, your assumption is based on the fact that all soldiers are malicious towards the survivors. What if three mouse droppings spoil the whole pot of porridge?" Huang Bingtian objected.
"If it were three rat droppings, then Uncle Ni would also die. After all, if he were alive, he would definitely identify the three soldiers and it would only be a matter of time before they were discovered."
"We can make an inference. Uncle Ni is still alive now, which proves two possibilities."
"The first possibility is that the murderer didn't want to kill Uncle Ni, but just wanted to rob the wild vegetables he picked;"
"The second possibility is that the murderer wanted to kill Uncle Ni, but failed because there was not enough time."
"You're right." Huang Bingtian nodded, agreeing with Xiaoran's reasoning.
"If it is the first possibility, the murderer will definitely not be a soldier, because in that case he will be identified by the victim and punished by the army. But if it is a survivor, the army will have little control."
"If it is the second possibility, it means that the murderer did not have enough time to commit the crime and may need to avoid detection or patrol. From a certain perspective, the possibility that the murderer is a soldier is very small."
"After all, the patrolling soldier can watch over the thief. He can calculate the time accurately and beat Uncle Ni to death."
"Both inferences provide a clear answer, that is, the murderer cannot be a soldier, but a survivor."
After some reasoning, both Huang Bingtian and Xu Xiaoxiao had expressions of sudden realization on their faces.
Yan Shao and his wife, who were listening on the sidelines, were even more happy and cast admiring glances at Xiao Ran.
"But wouldn't it be a bit untenable to reason like this?"
Although he understood that what Xiaoran said made sense, Huang Bingtian still maintained a cautious attitude and asked one more question.
"Indeed, relying on these alone is a bit far-fetched, so let's continue the analysis."
"If there is really a scum among the soldiers and they attack innocent old people, then this is an unfair act, that is, soldiers rely on force to crush the elderly."
"Usually, when a person encounters something unfair, what is the first reaction that comes to his mind?"
"Of course it's to redress the injustice! Find someone to seek justice and give yourself justice." Xu Xiaoxiao replied without thinking.
"Yes, it's about clearing grievances. If you encounter soldiers beating someone, witnesses should report it to the military leaders as soon as possible to seek justice for themselves or their own group."
"But the process of tonight's incident seems to have been directed by someone. After the long-haired man saw the soldiers beating people, the first thing he thought of was not to 'complain' to your leader, but to run to No. 6 The survivors were poured out in the shelter."
"This approach undoubtedly has only one purpose - to arouse public anger."
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.
"But why do they want to arouse public anger? Isn't it good to just stay in the shelter and live in harmony? There are so many zombies outside..."
