Chapter 420: 420
Hearing her fatherâs words, Xiao Pingguo immediately remembered last Sunday when she overheard a phone call between Officer Xiao Wang and someone else through âGolden Sparkleâ.
The person talking to Officer Xiao Wang at the time was an officer surnamed Zhao from Citong. They discussed a âmulti-armed monsterâ who invoked a dream in Officer Zhao, leading him to find several bodies in the deep mountains.
She later confirmed with Uncle Xiang that the âmulti-armed monsterâ Officer Zhao dreamed of was the âeight-armed, eight-eyed monsterâ she could âsummonâ. It was Uncle Xiang who had used some method to initiate the âdream invocation alarmâ.
Based on her fatherâs words, it was highly likely that Officer Xiao Wangâs police friend from Haixi Province was Officer Zhao, who had been alerted by Uncle Xiangâs âdream invocation alarmâ.
Officer Zhao happened to have a friend who worked in a blind school, and upon learning about her âguide birdâ from Officer Xiao Wang, he wanted to come for advice?
Xiao Pingguo instinctively felt that Officer Zhao was using this as an excuse. His main focus was probably the sensory impact caused by her summoning of the âeight-armed eight-eyed monsterâ at the lake to deter the âbad guysâ in the car.
When these people were arrested and testified to the police, they would likely describe what they saw, so the police should also know the image of this so-called âmulti-armed monsterâ.
Officer Zhao from Citong City likely learned about the âmulti-armed monsterâ from Officer Wang, not the âguide birdâ. Linking this to his own dream invocation, he intended to conduct an investigation through her.
However, it was clear they could not openly investigate and ask about this. Both Officer Wang and Officer Zhao were after all police officers.
Thus they chose a roundabout way, using the âblind schoolâ and the âguide birdâ as entry points, trying to make contact through her uncle.
Xiao Pingguo thought her guess was likely correct, so she said to her father, âDad, let me discuss this with Uncle Xiang first. After all, âGolden Sparkleâ is his pet. If we want to show it to others, we must ask him.â
âOh, right. Thatâs true.â Li Yang nodded in agreement.
âDad, Uncle Xiang and Sister Xiao Bing just boarded a plane recently, so itâs probably impossible to reach them on their cell phones now. Iâll ask them later or tomorrow. Can you tell my uncle to wait until tomorrow for a reply?â Xiao Pingguo said.
âWe certainly can.â
As Li Yang prepared to leave the room, Xiao Pingguo asked, âOh, by the way, Dad, is that police officer from Haixi Province still there, or has he already arrived in our city?â
âHe has come to our city⊠But that officer didnât necessarily just come for this matter. He probably just happened to be in town, mentioned this to Officer Xiao Wang, and then sought out your uncle. You donât need to worry about others. If you want to meet, then meet, if you donât want to, Iâll help you refuse. Itâs not a big deal.â
Upon hearing her fatherâs words, Xiao Pingguo realized that he had misunderstood her again, assuming that she was worried about making the others have made a wasted trip.
However, if she disregarded the deeper-level factors unknown to her father and focused only on this matter itself, she might indeed consider whether the others had made a wasted trip, and her fatherâs thoughts were not wrong.
After Li Yang left the room, shutting the door behind him, Xiao Pingguo thought for a moment and decided to investigate Officer Wang and Officer Zhao herself before contacting Uncle Xiang.
She didnât fear being discovered by the two police officers. When she deterred the âbad guysâ in the car before, despite them seeing the âeight-armed, eight-eyed monsterâ, there was no physical evidence left behind.
Moreover, neither she nor the âeight-armed, eight-eyed monsterâ had done anything âbadâ.
She was just a bit curious about the mentality of the two officers in investigating the matter and what information they had already collected.
So she got up, opened the window, and let âGolden Sparkleâ out.
She and âGolden Sparkleâ had already âtouredâ most of the city. The cityâs structure existed in her mind in a very special information combination.
This combination of information, apart from Xiang Kun and âGolden Sparkleâ, was something that others wouldnât understand, even if they could read her consciousness.
In her mind, the entire city was constructed by sounds, scents, and âGolden Sparkleâsâ âsenseâ of direction.
Moreover, information varies greatly with different times and climates.
For example, right now, she wants âGolden Flashâ to go to the branch office where Officer Wang Deâan is located. She does not directly input the address of the branch office, or think about the information of that location in her mind. Instead, she activates the scent and sound information along the way, such as the smell of a Sichuan restaurant on XX road at this time, the broadcast sound that a supermarket on XX street regularly makes, the smell that persists in certain areas due to building materials and decoration paints, the signature sounds unique to certain people or creatures, and so on.
With these, it guides âGolden Flashâ along the way, making it accurately locate the exact position.
Although the olfaction and hearing of âGolden Flashâ are quite different from those of human beings, and the perception fields for smell and sound are also not the same.
However, after integrating into the âSuper Sensory Item Systemâ and connecting and cooperating for so long with âXiao Pingguoâ, the way âGolden Flashâ perceives and judges smells and sounds has greatly changed and has been largely assimilated. At the same time, âXiao Pingguoâ has also adapted to the sensory information collected by âGolden Flashâ and can use it to make very precise judgments.
âGolden Flashâ is not only a competent âguide birdâ, it can even be said to be an extension of âXiao Pingguoââs senses to some extent.
The way âXiao Pingguoâ commands it is as effortless as moving her arm.
Perhaps because it has established a connection through the âSuper-connected Systemâ, âGolden Flashâ understands clearly its position and âXiao Pingguoââs within the system, so its obedience is very high.
Of course, on the other hand, it could also be because of the delicious bird food âXiao Pingguoâ carefully prepared for it.
When âGolden Flashâ arrived at the branch office and spent over thirty minutes sniffing around the dormitory area, literally stopping at every window and doorway, âXiao Pingguoâ confirmed that Officer Xiao Wang was not in the dormitory. novelbuddy.cÏàč
Could it be that Officer Xiao Wang does not live in the dormitory, or he hasnât returned yet?
âXiao Pingguoâ wasnât discouraged. She hadnât held out much hope this time, it was simply an attempt.
Then she had âGolden Flashâ leave the branch office and fly to a nearby hotel.
She thought if Officer Zhao from Citong didnât stay in Officer Wangâs dormitory, he was likely staying in this hotel closest to the branch office.
Of course, it was also possible that Officer Xiao Wang had other residences, or was staying in other hotels.
In any case, this was simply a trial; it wouldnât matter if they didnât find them.
Once again, she had âGolden Flashâ search from floor to floor, from room to room, lingering outside the windows for eavesdropping.
After consuming a considerable amount of time and energy from âGolden Flashâ and listening to a whole bunch of junk information, âXiao Pingguoâ still didnât find Officers Wang and Zhao.
Just as âXiao Pingguoâ was about to reassess the situation, have âGolden Flashâ return to the branch office, and reset the search direction, âGolden Flashâ suddenly heard a voice and made a detour in mid-air to stop next to the signboard on the second floor of the hotel.
Through âGolden Flashââs hearing, âXiao Pingguoâ also heard a familiar voice, it was Officer Wang Deâan.
At this point, Officer Wang was talking to someone while entering the hotel, and from the conversation, he was with Officer Zhao from Citong.
They had just returned from dinner!
They were caught!
Sitting in her bedroom on her computer chair, âXiao Pingguoâ pretended to throw a punch in thin air, her face full of excitement.
Although this was not a complicated matter and there was no specific purpose, the feeling of being able to find the person she was looking for and do the things she wanted to do while sitting at home did give her an unexplainable sense of satisfaction and excitement.
