After rushing to the destination, they were a bit dumbfounded.
Only Su Xiaocai was seen sitting leisurely on the messy street with her legs crossed, and beside her was a box of fried chicken, which was provided for free by a nearby shop owner.
She was eating delightfully, not at all like someone who had just gone through a fierce battle.
Her clothes werenât torn, her hairstyle wasnât disheveled, but the Insect Man was indeed lying lifeless.
"Where did the fried chicken come from?" Hu Ping asked.
"The fried chicken shop owner gave it to me." The shop owner wanted Su Xiaocai to stay there a little longer, wait for the police to arrive before leaving, so he came up with this perfect idea.
Su Xiaocai didnât even know how to write the word âcourtesyâ; how could she refuse the fried chicken gifted by others.
After a battle consuming so much energy, she was just hungry.
Xing Miao looked her up and down, even pulled her hand to have Ji Li check for internal injuries.
Su Xiaocaiâs lips were dotted with yellow crispy bits, her hands greasy, she quickly refused, "No need, no need, Doctor Jiâs hands canât get greasy otherwise theyâll lose their beauty."
Xing Miao laughed and said, "You could wipe your hands, Doctor Ji didnât mind you, yet here you are the first being concerned."
"Fried chicken doesnât taste good when itâs cold; if I donât eat it while itâs hot, itâd be a pity considering it was fried so golden and crispy." Su Xiaocai praised the skills of the chicken shopâs chef, who controlled the heat perfectly.
"At a time like this youâre still worried about whether the fried chicken tastes good, seems like youâre seriously hurt and intentionally diverting our attention." Xing Miao forcibly wiped her hand with a wet tissue and handed it over to Ji Li for a pulse check.
The doctorâs pulse check wasnât as precise as those who study Chinese medicine, just judged the strength of oneâs vitality through pulse signs.
"Steady and powerful, she could eat another cow," Ji Li informed them.
Su Xiaocai gasped in surprise, "How did you know?"
Ji Li: "Donât hold the fried chicken box so tightly."
Su Xiaocai: "Mine."
"Quit being cheeky." Xing Miao tapped her forehead, knowing sheâs fine.
Su Xiaocai finished one drumstick when Major Sunâs men arrived.
Wu Qingqing and Hu Ping carefully circled around the Insect Man.
"Keep some distance, this thing is peculiar," Su Xiaocai looked at it, constantly wary.
Major Sunâs arriving man was a young guy who looked very spirited, with a righteous gaze.
He ran over, saw the Insect Manâs corpse on the ground, everyone around was well, not a scene of scattered bodies.
His tense spirit relaxed, saluted to show identity, "May I ask who contacted my superior?"
Ji Li stepped forward, "It was me."
The soldier learned about the scene from him, Ji Li said, "She killed him alone, specifics should ask her."
"Wait for the police to come and weâll talk, I donât want to say it twice." Su Xiaocai pointed at the growing crowd approaching, "You better organize your team to separate the crowd."
The crowd, for the sake of gossip, could do any odd gossiping method possible.
Reminded by her, the soldier took out military credentials, using stern words to halt the footsteps of regular citizens wanting to come over and see the situation.
The killing aura forcibly pressed down on the restless crowd.
Other soldiers arrived, together they guarded four directions, preventing anyone from approaching further.
And the police arrived late, a distance that could be covered in three minutes by police car, took them fifteen minutes to arrive on site.
Leading the team was a middle-aged policeman, sweating profusely, he had just been executing other tasks, brought over without any reason, feeling dazed.
He learned of the situation happening in the plaza from the internet while on the road, feeling even more tricky.
An Insect Man appearing in broad daylight on Capital Star was clearly a slap in the face to the Law Enforcement Department.
Interplanetary entry and exit had always been the responsibility of the Law Enforcement Department, if poorly handled, the future is bleak.
"Excuse me, make way." The middle-aged cop frowned, pointing at the girl still eating fried chicken and the people around her, "Why are there still ordinary people here, get away quickly."
"I killed the Insect Man, I thought Iâd need to report, turns out not?" The girl tilted her head in inquiry, the middle-aged cop choked, looking at the soldier maintaining the scene.
Are these soldiers just a facade?
The middle-aged cop first instructed the forensic doctor to search the scene, take photos, then called a policewoman, "Make a recording for them."
Recording was actually simple, police asked, then people answered, trying to explain in detail was enough.
The policewoman asked her how she discovered it was an Insect Man.
Su Xiaocaiâs expression changed, slapped her thigh, started narrating endlessly.
Like a storyteller, she began with noticing the Insect Manâs eye change, "I was shocked, what the heck is this? Looks just like the eyes of an Insect Man, canât this thing be an Insect disguised? You know, as a promising youth like me, absolutely canât let it escape."
Then dramatically describing her airborne chase, solo combat with the Insect Man, all using cool adjectives.
Talking without pause, everyone listening was stunned regardless of whether they knew the details.
The policewoman listened intently, it was indeed quite captivating.
The policeman beside her coughed twice, sternly saying, "This is for the record, not storytelling, got to be truthful." Though it was exciting, they couldnât take it down.
Su Xiaocai innocently said, "But Iâm telling the truth, ask those people if you donât believe me."
Following Su Xiaocaiâs pointing direction, the male cop saw a group of enthusiastic gossipers nodding vigorously.
But they felt something was off, clearly she was speaking the facts, but it seemed extremely exaggerated, as if it was plastic tough-guy boast after coming out of her mouth.
Too bizarre!
The two police officers felt helpless, but Su Xiaocai was unwilling to modify her statement, "I didnât lie or exaggerate, the record is like this, I wonât supplement further."
Su Xiaocai continued eating fried chicken, free fried chicken really tasted good, especially the crispy bone part, crunchy.
Ji Li chuckled, smiling at Su Xiaocai teasingly.
"Actually, if you remove all those exaggerated adjectives from her story, itâs fact, she might be a bit upset about your arrival speed." The police station was nearby, it wasnât the outdated age when police cars could only run on the ground.
Su Xiaocai subtly gave a thumbs up, Ji Li was really smart, figured it out quickly, she just wanted to give them a hard time.
If there were no one on scene capable of dealing with the Insect Man, the casualties here would be countless.
The heartbreaking thing was, a cute, chubby dog died, caught in unwarranted disaster.
The records had recordings, police returned to listen again, deliberately ignoring Su Xiaocaiâs exaggerated descriptions, found it was indeed a proper report.
Fine, understand the difficulties of enthusiastic citizens, they indeed arrived too late, no wonder people were angry.
The eventâs protagonist finished the recording, next it was the turn of Wu Qingqing and others and part of the gossip crowd, they also acquired videos recorded by the crowd and surveillance videos from businesses.
Having finished the fried chicken, Su Xiaocai wiped her mouth, "Officer, I want to ask, how I killed the Insect Man, isnât that contributing to society? It wonât ask me for compensation for the things it smashed, will it?"
The plaza manager hurriedly wiped his sweat, approached promptly with urgency, "No need, no need, thank you to this little hero for your actions, hereâs my card, also hereâs a free meal card issued by the plaza, a total of ten cards, each meal capped at a thousand yuan, paid for by us. Plus, a 20% discount membership card, 20% off all purchases in the central mall."
Such astuteness in business! Su Xiaocai held the plaza managerâs cards and vouchers, her eyes sly, "Officer, are there any rewards? Would you present me with an Excellent Citizen Badge?"
The policewoman thought Su Xiaocai was being petty, chuckled, "Upon verification, there should all be given, but it will take a fairly long time."
"Officer sister is beautiful and kind, remember to keep an eye out for me, any rewards must be reported to me first thing." Su Xiaocai naturally requested the policewoman to add her contact number.
The policewoman patted her head, exchanging numbers.
Successfully snatched the first contact number, while the recording officer walked away, Su Xiaocai sneaked to the forensics.
Among them, there stood a man in black, likely a scholar specializing in Insect Man, speaking to the forensic doctor about his research on Insect Man.
"Results should be out soon too, it wore a fake human skin walking around, why did it lose its mind, swaggering around, it will definitely be discovered, so dumb."
