Chapter 87: biggest case

This Healing spray can only heal external injuries; just spray it on the wound.

Qiao Sang chose to heal the Magnetic Armored Rat she brought back from the mountain first. If the other Magnetic Armored Rat that zapped her with lightning woke up first, she might get zapped again.

Because this medicine didn’t work instantly like a Healing skill, the Magnetic Armored Rat only woke up after 15 minutes.

The Magnetic Armored Rat was still a bit dazed after waking up, but once it reacted, it anxiously looked to the side.

Turning its head, it immediately spotted its mother, who was still unconscious on the ground.

Seeing that the other party’s wounds had been treated, the Magnetic Armored Rat breathed a sigh of relief. It was then that it noticed the human beside it.

“Magnet.”

“Magnet magnet.”

The Magnetic Armored Rat anxiously explained itself to Qiao Sang.

With the Fire Fang Dog acting as a translator, Qiao Sang quickly understood their relationship—mother and son.

Just as she was about to speak, the other Magnetic Armored Rat also woke up.

The Fire Fang Dog immediately became alert.

It proved that being alert was correct, as the Magnetic Armored Rat’s mother almost immediately looked for Qiao Sang’s location the moment she opened her eyes.

Just as the lightning on her body was spreading and about to attack, flames also coiled around the Fire Fang Dog’s body.

A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

At this moment, Qiao Sang quickly picked up the Magnetic Armored Rat, who was a beat slow in reacting, and held it up in front of herself as a shield.

“Don’t release lightning! Let’s talk properly!”

The mother and son Magnetic Armored Rats exchanged glances, one bewildered, the other pained and angry.

The next second, the lightning on the Magnetic Armored Rat’s mother dissipated.

The Fire Fang Dog was momentarily stunned. Could this actually work?

“Quickly explain to your mom,” Qiao Sang said to the Magnetic Armored Rat in her hands.

Five minutes later.

The Magnetic Armored Rat’s mother looked at Qiao Sang with deep apology.

It was clear that the misunderstanding had been resolved.

“Alright, since you’ve found your family, we won’t disturb your reunion,” Qiao Sang said to the Magnetic Armored Rat.

Next, she still needed to look for any wild Pets. If she couldn’t find any after another half an hour, she should head back.

The Magnetic Armored Rat nodded gratefully, but its mother blocked Qiao Sang’s path.

“Magnet magnet!”

“Magnet!”

The Fire Fang Dog once again took on the role of translator.

It turned out that the Magnetic Armored Rat’s mother wanted to use tree fruits as a reward.

Qiao Sang initially wanted to refuse, but on second thought, she agreed.

Tree fruits favored by wild Pets must be fruits containing various energies.

Although one couldn’t expect valuable tree fruits on the mountains in a town, as long as it was a spiritual plant, it wouldn’t be useless.

If it were artificially planted, it definitely wouldn’t be planted on this mountain with wild Pets.

Not to mention soil issues, other issues like temperature, when to fertilize, and balancing the tree’s vigor all require human attention.

There’s also apical dominance inhibition for sprouting.

Tree fruits generally aim for branching out and luxuriant foliage, as this yields the most fruits and makes them easy to pick.

Apical dominance inhibition for sprouting is precisely to achieve this goal. To prevent the tree fruit from concentrating nutrients at the top of the tree, it is necessary to inhibit the growth of the top part and then help other locations sprout, diverting nutrients to other branches. This way, the growth of the tree fruit is most ideal.

Even ordinary fruit trees require attention to so many matters, and energy-containing tree fruits require even more careful cultivation. They would absolutely not be casually planted on a mountain like this, where anyone can come.

Since it was a wild tree fruit, Qiao Sang had no more concerns.

The Magnetic Armored Rat’s mother led the way, and after walking for 6 minutes, it plunged into a thicket.

Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then followed.

…

Qi Tang Town.

Police Station.

A young man in his twenties, looking puzzled, said, “Even if it’s confirmed that he entered Zhehai Province, he should have gone to Xianglin, so why would he come to our Hanggang?”

A round-faced middle-aged woman sat opposite the young man. Hearing this, she said, “The route has been traced. He shook off surveillance and settled near Ming Alley. Because he’s handsome, a female university student secretly took a photo of him, then she posted it in a group for others to see, which is how the police noticed him.”

The middle-aged woman chuckled at this point: “Sometimes, being handsome isn’t necessarily a good thing.”

The young man frowned slightly and said, “Photos have been taken, yet this Zhou Xian has escaped and still hasn’t been found.”

Nowadays, there are surveillance cameras everywhere. Basic identity information is left wherever one goes and whatever one does.

Pet information is registered at the Yu Beast Center. Even if Pets are sent to do things, they should be screened immediately.

As a C-level Beastmaster, and a handsome man who can rival him, even if he hid in some mountainous area, he should have been noticed by the local people.

But there has been no news for so many days.

Plastic surgery? Sex change?

Did he contract a Shapeshifting Mud and apply it to his face?

But the information states that he only became a C-level Beastmaster a year ago. All his Pet information is registered, so it’s impossible for him to contract a fifth Pet so quickly.

Unless he’s hiding in some remote mountain corner where not a single person can be seen.

But what about food and drink?

A Yu Beast Master not only has to take care of himself but also consider the diet of his Pets.

He remembered that the man’s information stated two General-level Pets, one High-level Pet, and one Mid-level Pet.

The food and drink for these four Pets cannot be solved just anywhere.

The middle-aged woman picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, saying, “Anyway, he’s seriously injured, and his Pets are also injured. He doesn’t dare go to a hospital, so he’ll be caught sooner or later.”

“You don’t need to worry. This person won’t reach us. Qi Tang Town is crowded, and the place is tiny. Ranran just had a blind date, and then people on three streets knew about it. If he dares to appear here, believe it or not, Aunt Wang, who sells vegetables in town, will know earlier than us police.”

Ye Ranran, sitting next to the middle-aged woman, was stunned.

She hadn’t even spoken, and she was already caught in the crossfire?

“It’s only a matter of time before he’s caught, but I’m afraid he’ll act desperately and attack the public,” the young man worried.

A C-level Beastmaster is no small character. If they can’t find his hideout in advance to evacuate the public and set up defenses secretly, innocent people will definitely be harmed.

“Guangbei, you’ve been at our bureau for two years now. What’s the biggest case you’ve encountered?” the middle-aged woman asked.

Zhang Guangbei was slightly stunned and replied, “Isn’t it this case?”

The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, “The higher-ups just told us to pay attention to this person; they didn’t say this case belongs to us. Even if Zhou Xian comes to our Qi Tang, we’ll report it to the higher-ups and let them send people. Our bureau doesn’t have a C-level Beastmaster to fight him.”

“The biggest case is always the case encountered at the present moment. The biggest case you’re encountering now is that theft case from this morning. A newly captured wild Pet was stolen, and the surveillance didn’t capture anything. Aren’t you curious?”

The young man’s thoughts were successfully diverted. He argued, “This clearly means that Magnetic Armored Rat escaped by itself. And that person, too, his Pet that he caught on the mountain escaped, and he still needs us police to help find it. I don’t know if this escaped Magnetic Armored Rat will attack ordinary people in town.”

…

Huangming Mountain.

Qiao Sang was momentarily stunned as she looked at the scenery before her.

If it weren’t for the Magnetic Armored Rat leading the way, with the thicket so dense, she really wouldn’t have known there was such a place on this mountain.
