On the street not far from Jiang Qi and Zhang Ning, a case of stabbing someone in the street was taking place.
Generally speaking, in the old days, if someone was hurting someone on the street, even if most people would choose to watch, there would always be a few enthusiastic citizens who would stand up.
More citizens will choose to call the police. Of course, there will also be people watching the theater having fun. After all, the matter has nothing to do with themselves.
These are all normal things, but in what happened on the street today, everyone chose the last option.
Watch.
Even if you are watching, you will stay far away, instead of forming a circle in place like in the old times.
All because the robbers were not ordinary people.
It's Xuan Xiu.
Even though that Xuanxiu was just a Xuanxiu with a hint of arrogance, at a glance he knew that it was Xuanxiu Mengxin who had just sensed Qi.
However, the gap between actively mobilizing Xuan Qi and passively receiving nourishment from spiritual energy is wider than the gap between a rabbit and an elephant.
The threshold between Xuanxiu and ordinary people has not weakened at all because of the arrival of the new era, but has become higher layer by layer.
Needless to say, these things have long been common knowledge among people.
It is precisely because of this that no one dares to step forward and act bravely.
Seeking death and acting bravely are two different things.
Even among the people who act bravely, a large number of them do it only when they are sure that they will not be hurt, or they are passionate.
Those who devote their lives to helping others are, after all, a minority among ordinary people.
But the current situation is that the people watching are not even qualified to be enthusiastic.
This is a gap in life levels.
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
In the center of the street, the stopped vehicles were parked all over the place, and the drivers had already abandoned the vehicles and fled.
Just because there was a person standing there.
The man in a greasy apron was holding a sharp boning knife in his hand and was laughing wildly on the spot.
But there was too much meaning in that smile.
Anger, inferiority complex, sadness.
The man's other hand was holding a little girl tightly. His eyes were dull and his mouth was open. He was obviously frightened.
Behind the man, there were two people lying on the ground.
A man and a woman, disheveled, with large and small wounds on their bodies, blood flowing all over the floor. Looking at their pale faces, you can tell that they may not survive if they don't receive treatment.
There were also some faint groans of pain all around.
Seven or eight mature men were wailing on the ground, accompanied by some bricks, pots, shovels, sticks and the like.
Obviously, these people were prepared to stop the man bravely.
Seven or eight people swarmed forward. Even if the man had a knife, he would not be an opponent.
I'm afraid it was precisely because of this that the man showed his Xuanxiu ability, but at least he had some sense and did not kill innocent people.
When Jiang Qi and Zhang Ning came over, they saw this scene.
"ban!"
Zhang Ning glanced at the situation and had a vague guess in her heart, but she still kept her hand and immediately threw out a talisman.
The talisman turned into a stream of light, forming dark chains on the man's body. While locking his mobility, it also restricted the man's Xuan Qi.
The standard lock charm of the Mystery Bureau.
Although it has no effect on the weather conditions, the advantages are simple production, low difficulty, cheap materials, and the most important thing is that it can be stacked.
Needless to say, although there are many crazy people in the Institute of Metaphysics, the things they bring out are all first-class gadgets.
"Clang!"
The sharp knife fell on the ground, Zhang Ning's figure flashed, and he came behind the man without any movement.
First, he kicked the man in the leg socket, causing him to kneel on the ground. Then he lifted his arms, and the little girl held by the man was in Zhang Ning's arms.
Zhang Ning subconsciously used a burst of Xuanqi to stabilize the child's mind, but was immediately stunned and stopped quickly, his movements becoming more gentle.
It was like holding a fragile porcelain doll.
"Be good, it's okay, it's okay."
Zhang Ning looked at the child nervously, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was nothing wrong with the child. He turned around and lowered his head to look at the two people lying on the ground.
The woman and the man holding the knife are similar in age, both in their late 40s, but the other man is in his twenties, looks delicate and delicate, and very delicate.
A flash of disgust flashed in Zhang Ning's eyes, but he still used a burst of Xuan Qi to temporarily maintain the vital signs of the two people.
From the beginning to the end, Jiang Qi did not make a move, he just looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground and was blocked from Xuan Qi and his actions.
After being restrained, the man seemed to have expected it and did not struggle at all. He just lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.
"I run a small restaurant. At noon today, I will pick up the children from school."
Just as Jiang Qi came to the man, the man with his head lowered suddenly spoke.
Jiang Qi narrowed his eyes and said nothing, but stopped.
The man didn't seem to care about Jiang Qi's actions. He lowered his head and said, "There are a lot of guests. I don't even have time to change my clothes. Fortunately, the school is right next to it. I can walk there in a few steps."
Jiang Qi simply fell to the ground and leaned forward slightly.
"I picked up the girl and took her back to the hotel. I made some food for her and then sent her back in the afternoon."
"But after I picked up the child, the child said that the teacher's homework left yesterday was at home and the teacher would check it in the afternoon."
The man spoke unhurriedly and his words were very organized. He didn't look like a murderer who almost killed two people on the street.
The sound was not loud, but people nowadays have sharp ears and eyesight, so many people still heard it and had the courage to come closer.
"My wife works in sales and won't go home at noon, so I can only go back with my children."
Having said this, the man raised his head slightly, his eyes full of desolation.
"But when I arrived at the door of my house, I heard something I shouldn't have heard."
At this point, the man turned his head as hard as he could, as if he wanted to break his neck.
He saw the two people lying on the ground, and the resentment in their eyes almost overflowed.
But immediately, after seeing the child in Zhang Ning's arms, his eyes immediately became clear.
This scene also made everyone present vaguely aware of what happened, and there was also a trace of pity in the expressions looking at the man.
"Of course I don't want to believe that while I was working hard, my wife was having an affair with her lover at my house."
"So I knocked on the door, and when I opened the door, my wife said it was her colleague who came to the house with her to pick up a document."
The man raised his head, smiled miserably, looked around and asked, "Do I look like a fool?"
"Do you need to lock the door to get the files? Do you need paper to get the files? Do you need to make a mess on the bed to get the files?"
"Get the files!"
The man's voice suddenly became louder: "Do you need to open the safe to get your bankbook?!!"
"What's in there is life-saving money for the child's heart treatment!"
"You are so cruel!"
The man struggled to lie down on his back, tilting his head and looking at his wife who was lying on the ground but her breathing had stabilized.
"For the sake of a pretty boy, you have to risk your child's life to please him!"
"If I hadn't noticed today, after you two messed around, you would have taken the child's life-saving money and fled away!"
The man's voice was hoarse, and in the end he could only make a meaningless roar.
a long time.
The man smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"You are so stupid, really. You don't even think about it. Why do people like you, a yellow-faced woman who is almost 40 years old? Isn't it because of this money?"
