I’m the City Lord of the Last Days

Chapter 53:



Among the more than 800 urban residents at present, there is indeed one case where only fingerprints are entered, but there is actually no corresponding real person.

A chubby young man was brought in front of He Qianshan and Song Xingcheng by the patrol team. This young man was very pleasing, with a big round face, and he smiled before saying anything, giving people a kind and simple feeling.

He Qianshan looked at him indifferently, and asked coldly, "Do you want to enter our villa area?"

The young man was a little apprehensive, and then remembered the rumors that the He family leader was very indifferent to outsiders, and didn't particularly target him, so he nodded cautiously, smiled again, and recommended himself earnestly:

"Yes, my name is Chang Diyang. I went to an agricultural university. After graduation, I have rich experience in raising chickens, ducks, geese and fish. It is very useful. Keep me!"

He Qianshan turned around and took the lead to walk towards the city lord's mansion, explaining: "In order to facilitate unified management, we require everyone to provide an ID card. I heard that there is a problem with your registration? You can register again in front of me, and I will personally have a look."

Chang Diyang hurriedly trotted behind and was moved by the other party's willingness to give him this opportunity. In front of He Qianshan and Song Xingcheng, he registered his personal information again on the self-service machine at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. The smooth registration process got stuck during fingerprint registration, and a "repeat registration!" prompt popped up on the machine, and the registration process could not continue.

Chang Diyang spread his hands innocently, indicating that he didn't know the reason.

Song Xingcheng and He Qianshan exchanged glances, Song Xingcheng said to Chang Diyang: "I have an idea, you come with me, we will try another machine." After speaking, he turned and walked in front to lead the way.

Chang Diyang was a little unclear about the situation, but seeing that He Qianshan had already followed him out, he quickly followed.

Since Chang Diyang was found unable to complete the registration in the morning, he was asked to wait in the security room at the gate of the villa area. Before he had time to familiarize himself with the buildings by the lake, he naturally did not notice that he followed Song Xingcheng into the tight Next to the Public Security Bureau of the City Lord's Mansion.

Now there are 5 public security bureaus in the city, and at the same time, there are 5 robot security officers patrolling back and forth in the small city. As Song Xingcheng and others walked into the public security bureau, 4 patrolling robots slid in. .

The 100-square-meter Public Security Bureau only has one-third of the area near the gate open to the outside world. A circle of tables is used to prevent ordinary people from being curious about the backstage. seat.

Song Xingcheng reached out to signal Chang Diyang to sit down, then approached a robot and communicated in a low voice.

The highly intelligent robot immediately expressed its understanding, and then two robots slid to stand beside Chang Diyang. One robot took the items from the hand of Han Qinmin who had just arrived, and the other took out a transparent screen and collected The fingerprints of Chang Diyang's ten fingers.

Chang Diyang was confused by this series of operations. What are these robots? When did technology evolve to the level of fully robotic services? He just had an intuition that something was wrong.

Before Chang Diyang could figure it out, the robot security guards here had already obtained the inspection results, and one of the robots said to Song Xingcheng:

"Thank you for the criminal clues you provided. After comparison, it is confirmed that the fingerprints on the dagger are completely consistent with Chang Diyang's fingerprints. They were kept five days ago, around April 2. In addition, there are two types of fingerprints on the dagger that are different from those of Chang Diyang. Diyang's own blood."

When the robot spoke, the tone was weird, and the voice was not very loud, but it exploded in Chang Diyang's ears like a thunderbolt. He stared at the unusually familiar dagger on the tray held by the robot, terrified!

That dagger! It was the dagger that he couldn't take away because he was in a hurry to leave the scene!

Chang Diyang subconsciously wanted to get up and rush out, but the robots standing on both sides of him stretched out metal claws to grab the person firmly, holding Chang Diyang in place and unable to move.

"Explain, what's the matter with this dagger?"

He Qianshan asked in a cold voice, his eyes were like sharp knives, piercing Chang Diyang's body fiercely.

Previously, He Qianshan and the Gu family cooperated to collect supplies, and first collected the Gu family's pharmacy. As a result, the first pharmacy saw the murder scene, and the two clerks of the pharmacy died at the hands of humans.

And the dagger that was tested was taken from the heart of a clerk's corpse. At that time, He Qianshan and Han Qinmin just wanted to leave a clue. If there is a chance to find the murderer, of course, it was also a warning for them .

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came up later.

The City Lord's Mansion opened the registration of city residents and required fingerprints. He Qianshan and Han Qinmin were inspired to try to extract the fingerprints on the dagger to register an identity.

Putting this idea on others is like dreaming, but Song Xingcheng is the city lord, so this matter is simple. Song Xingcheng manually passed the information about the city residents that was fictitious except for the fingerprints.

At that time, it was just a random attempt to leave a record. No one thought that it was such a coincidence that the "original owner" of the fingerprint happened to come to the villa area.

Of course, Chang Diyang cannot be completely identified as the murderer based on fingerprints alone, so He Qianshan continued to blow him up.

Probably because the development of the matter was too unexpected for Chang Diyang himself, and under the panic, his performance showed clues.

"I don't know, it's really not me...I, I don't know too well...People are not me...It has nothing to do with me!"

Chang Diyang faltered and defended a few words, but accidentally brought out more news.

"Didn't you kill the person? I didn't say anything, but you confessed quickly." He Qianshan vividly interpreted the word "sarcasm" from expression to tone.

At this time, the Gu family who received the news also came, and several members of the He family team who originally belonged to the clerks and doctors of the Gu family pharmacy also rushed to the Public Security Bureau one after another.

Everyone looked at Chang Diyang angrily and complicatedly. On April 2, just the second day after the end of the world, this man pointed a dagger at his own kind. It was too cold-blooded and cruel!

It seemed that he was stimulated by He Qianshan's ridicule and the crowd's accusations. Chang Diyang suddenly realized that these people were just another group of ordinary people after he panicked.

"I didn't do anything wrong! They looked down on me first! Why don't they sell me medicine! Don't they think I'm poor! I'm poor and they can look down on others! If they don't sell me, they take it themselves! I don't want to kill them ! Blame them for standing in my way! I did nothing wrong!"

Seeing Chang Diyang's congested eyeballs widened and protruding, his expression ferocious, and his state of madness, everyone was frightened by his terrifying appearance and took a few steps back, unwilling to approach him.

The facts are already clear. Chang Diyang went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, got into an argument with the clerks, and finally killed the two clerks.

The culprit has been found, so a new problem arises, how do they deal with Chang Diyang?

Although they knew that Chang Diyang had killed two people, or even more than that, after all, they did not have the power to enforce the law, and they were not so cruel that they completely ignored life and killed Chang Diyang with blood for blood. People have a headache.

There is a confinement room in the Public Security Bureau, but Chang Diyang is locked up. Judging from the background of the end of the world, it is really hard to say whether to punish him or reward him.

Just let people go? With Chang Diyang's mental state unstable and insane, if more ordinary people were killed, they would be very sorry.

After some discussion, the old man of the Gu family made a final decision, he was taken away by them, and locked in the basement of the Gu family, let him live if he stuttered, and act as a new medical student.

Hand tools.

He Qianshan and Song Xingcheng didn't expect that the old man would propose such a method. It was obviously strange but reasonable. Letting Chang Diyang play the role of a mouse in the end was considered waste utilization, and they agreed after discussing it.

Not only agree, but also actively cooperate.

Song Xingcheng secretly ordered the robot to put shackles on Chang Diyang's hands, feet, and even his neck. The shackles that came out of the Autonomous Security Bureau were not only heavy but also released electric shocks, and the shackles on the neck even restricted his voice.

Chang Diyang was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that he would be exposed to what he had done just because he came to the legendary safe Yamu villa area just for his fame.

He also thought that there is no official in this situation, and these people can't do anything to him. He didn't expect that they would restrict his personal freedom? !

Chang Diyang, who was completely unacceptable, struggled and tried to leave, but the metal hands of the two robot security guards did not move at all, and they set up Chang Diyang one by one and walked out.

Chang Diyang tried to cry and howl to the surrounding survivors for help.

Unexpectedly, He Qianshan and the others didn't hide it at all, and let Chang Diyang howl all the way from the Public Security Bureau to the Gu's villa. Of course, they helped publicize what Chang Diyang had done.

All the survivors who heard that Chang Diyang killed two people subconsciously backed away and looked at Chang Diyang in horror and fear.

The last days are enough to make people despair, but killing people with their own hands is even more unacceptable.

Some survivors who were also newcomers in the morning still had some impressions of the exception of Chang Diyang, but they were all chubby young men with a very kind smile, who could not be associated with the crazy and terrifying person now. The emotions are extremely complicated.

Two robot security guards personally escorted Chang Diyang to a nanny's room on the basement floor of the Gu family villa.

After communicating with the Gu family, the robot security guards used specific equipment to mark out Chang Diyang's range of activities on the ground. Once Chang Diyang dared to leave this range, the shackles would automatically release electric shocks, and people without shackles could enter and exit this area at will. scope.

After setting up, the robot let go of the metal hand holding Chang Diyang tightly, and exited the range of activities, and then everyone saw that half of Chang Diyang, who was about to rush out, just came out of the range, and then he trembled and fell limp to the ground , the whole person was shocked until his eyes turned white, and his whole body trembled.

Chang Diyang rolled back subconsciously, and the electric shock ended. After a short rest, Chang Diyang sat up, only looking at the invisible line on the ground, his eyes were full of fear, and he didn't dare to try again easily.

try.

Finally realizing that he had run into a hard stubble, and completely fell, Chang Diyang's attitude softened all of a sudden, his crazy expression also restrained, showing a begging expression, kneeling on the ground begging everyone's forgiveness, even if he didn't forgive, he would Let him go, and he promises to go far away and never bother them again!

The robot security officer handed over a controller to the Gu family, explaining that this controller can control the shackles on Chang Diyang's neck.

After the explanation, he made a demonstration. As soon as the controller was turned on, the shackles on Chang Diyang's neck were tightened immediately. Chang Diyang was pinched by the throat and could only make a weak breath sound.

Chang Diyang was really going crazy, he was anxious and angry, and he was spinning and tossing on the ground happily trying to attract attention, but no one outside his range of activities cared about him anymore.

The crowd is amazed to communicate with the robot vigilante.

After the Public Security Bureau was built, although everyone saw robot security guards patrolling the streets every day, few people dared to go forward to investigate in detail out of fear of the city.

It was also the first time for the Gu family to know that the robots of the Public Security Bureau were so intelligent. Regardless of their appearance, they couldn't believe that they were communicating with the robots. They were clearly experienced security officers!

After sincerely thanking He Qianshan and the others as well as the robot security guard, the old man led everyone away from the basement level. No one gave Chang Diyang another look, who was still madly acting like a demon.

Everyone's topic has naturally turned to the situation of the nephew of the Li family who is recuperating, and no one has mentioned Chang Diyang. If it is not good to kill him directly, it does not mean that everyone will be kind to him. No one will ask more questions.

Compared with this disgusting scum and scum, the treatment experience for gunshot wounds is more worth discussing.

In any case, uncovering Chang Diyang can be regarded as solving an outstanding case, which makes people feel relaxed.

Back at the He Family Manor, after a delicious lunch, He Qianshan remembered Song Xingcheng's proposal yesterday, his expression changed, and he slowed down as he was about to leave, and called the housekeeper, Uncle Fang, to the study together.

Although Uncle Fang watched He Qianshan grow up and thought he knew the young master quite well, but when he grew up, He Qianshan's mind was restrained and it became more and more difficult to figure it out. Recently, he has been bolder to get together with the young master of the Song family. Uncle Fang is at a loss, feeling that he really doesn't understand the world of young people nowadays.

Fortunately, Uncle Fang is old, and he is not prepared to take care of these things. He only needs to do his job well, and taking care of the manor is enough for him to be busy.

Therefore, when Uncle Fang heard He Qianshan ask "why my sister doesn't seem to like him for so many years, is there something at home that's been hidden from him", I was really surprised. I couldn't figure out why He Qianshan would suddenly ask this question. Where did he hear the wind?

He Qianshan saw Uncle Fang's hesitation in his eyes, and his heart moved, without urging him, he just looked at Uncle Fang fixedly, waiting for Uncle Fang's answer.

Uncle Fang hesitated for a while, and finally decided to say: "Master, did you hear something outside? Master, don't blame the master for hiding it from you. The master did this for the harmony of the family."

This sounds very wrong!

In fact, Song Xingcheng, who was sitting in the study suite and casually flipping through books, suddenly sat up straight and looked over in surprise.

Then He Qianshan and Song Xingcheng listened to the housekeeper tell a story about the past that He Qianshan didn't know at all: He Shangshui, the eldest lady of the He family, and He Qianshan were not brothers and sisters of the same father and mother. Half siblings!

He Qianshan's pupils shrank, his mouth tightened, and he felt a huge shock. How could this be so? The older sister he had always thought of, the older sister who was a sibling of his mother and had the same disease, turned out to be not...

After the shock, He Qianshan was a little relieved again, that's how it is! If this is the case, there is a reason for everything that seems unreasonable.

He Qianshan has always thought that the behavior of his sister in the novel in the dream is too abnormal to understand at all, and he has never been able to let go of it.

After the apocalypse, although He Qianshan did not come to the rescue in person because of the content of the novel, he also secretly sent Han Qinmin to kill all the zombies outside He Shangshui's house, at least to give He Shangshui a safe environment.

What He Qianshan was afraid of was that if something happened to He Shangshui, he would regret it.

"Does she know?" He Qianshan asked in a deep voice.

Uncle Fang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "Missy was only 3 years old at the time, so she probably doesn't remember anything."

He Qianshan smiled, thinking that was not necessarily the case, at least he had memories of when he was 2 years old.

He Shangshui said he wanted to play hide-and-seek with him, and locked him in the closet from noon until the evening when the adults came home before releasing him.

After that, he had to turn on the light when he slept at night, otherwise he would cry endlessly, but at that time he was too young to explain the reason clearly to adults, but that memory has always been engraved in the deepest part of his memory, even now, it makes people cry. He Qianshan often wakes up from nightmares.

He Qianshan put his hand on his forehead, covering most of the expression on his face with his big hand.

Song Xingcheng looked distressed, and hurriedly got up to leave

He went to He Qianshan, sat on the armrest of the seat, and held He Qianshan's other hand with both hands.

Uncle Fang didn't expect Song Xingcheng to be there, so he stopped immediately.

He Qianshan waved his hand to signal him to continue.

Through Uncle Fang's description, He Qianshan knew what happened before he was born.

His father, He Haoyan, indulged in fun when he was young, and accidentally created a daughter. The daughter’s mother quickly disappeared with the money from the He family. He Haoyan threw her daughter into the care of the old father. The eldest lady of the Yang family, that is, He Qianshan's mother, Yang Qingran, is a chic and affectionate **** who makes Yang Qingran insist on marrying him.

How could the Yang family want their pampered-raised daughter to have an illegitimate daughter before they even got married, and completely disagreed with this marriage. In order to get married, Yang Qingran fell out with her family, even to the point of cutting off contact.

It's a pity that the life after marriage was not as Yang Qingran wanted. She thought she was a haven for the prodigal son to turn back, but found that she was just one of the wharves for the romantic young and old. Youqing woke up from a state full of drinking water, depressed and hurt her body during childbirth, and passed away within a few years.

In the last few years, Yang Qingran was busy taking care of her body, saving her husband, and fighting wits with women from all walks of life. Not only did she dislike her husband's illegitimate daughter, she even disliked her own son who failed to attract her husband's attention, and completely ignored her. .

At such a young age, He Qianshan thought that neither he nor his sister was liked by his mother, so he didn't notice anything unusual.

When Yang Qingran passed away, both He Shangshui and He Qianshan would be taken care of by their grandfather, and the He family would no longer say that they had a daughter illegitimately.

He Qianshan has never received the love and care of his parents since he was a child, only his grandfather carefully took care of him. He is not curious, and he is not curious to find out the reason why his parents are so weak. In addition, the old man of the He family has carefully covered up, and no one is in He Qianshan. He Qianshan has never been aware of this truth for so many years.

Song Xingcheng hugged her depressed boyfriend into her arms distressedly, and stroked He Qianshan's back to comfort him.

The housekeeper's emotions are also very complicated, but if it is not the end of the world, he will not casually tell the truth that Mr. He has concealed for a long time.

After all, in Mr. He's opinion, regardless of whether it's a granddaughter or a grandson, they are all his children, and they were all brought up by him. Naturally, he hopes that the relationship between the two siblings will be harmonious and support each other

The insiders of the He family were all told by Mr. He to be cautious. Not many people outside the He family knew the news, and those who knew would not talk nonsense. If it was still the previous peaceful era, Uncle Fang would naturally keep this secret leave.

But now is the end of the world, how much salary is paid is no longer a factor to consider when applying for a job, what is more important is whether the boss can provide a safe environment and sufficient food.

Obviously, He Qianshan can do it. And looking around, it is difficult to find a second such reliable boss outside.

Seeing He Qianshan treat those old neighbors unceremoniously with his own eyes yesterday, and hearing He Qianshan suddenly ask such a strange question today, Uncle Fang is really worried that some insider will remember this old story and try to blackmail him. , Hurt He Qianshan, so he simply told He Qianshan what he knew about the real situation.

After telling what he knew, the steward looked at He Qianshan worriedly, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Master, don't blame the master, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, the master also hopes that you two will be harmonious. You have a good relationship with the eldest lady, and the master will be at ease when he leaves."

"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"

He Qianshan didn't answer these words, raised his head to look at the butler, and asked in a deep voice.

Uncle Fang shook his head quickly, "No more, no more."

He Qianshan paused, and continued: "Thank you, Uncle Fang, for telling me this."

"Uncle Fang also can't bear to see you being deceived by outsiders and divorced from the eldest lady." Uncle Fang quickly replied.

"Okay, Uncle Fang, let's go. If there is any news about me, please let Uncle Fang know." He Qianshan watched the housekeeper leave before plunging into Song Xingcheng's arms again.

Song Xingcheng looked at the sluggish He Qianshan, feeling extremely distressed, hugged her boyfriend tightly, and silently gave him strength.

After a while, He Qianshan began to talk sullenly about how he was locked in a dark cabinet by He Shangshui when he was a child, accidentally slipped into the pond in autumn, and He Shangshui, who said he was going to call someone, never came back, and was dragged by He Shangshui in winter During the snowball fight, my clothes were stuffed with snow, and I caught a cold and fever the next day...

"When I was in my teens, He Shangshui suddenly changed and treated me very well, especially when there were outsiders, she fully showed her elder sister demeanor who cared for younger brothers, so everyone praised my sister to me, even me. I began to wonder if my childhood memories were wrong...

Hehehehe... Now that I think about it, it's probably because she grew up and realized that her grandfather would not hand over the family business to him, so she started to curry favor with my younger brother.

if she knew

We are not real siblings, we bullied me on purpose when we were young, and pretended to be nice to me when we grew up, which can also explain why she said she was good for me in the novel, but actually dragged me down everywhere , after finally realizing that I might be out of her control, I went straight to the killer. "

He Qianshan's voice was low, with a self-deprecating resentment for not being able to detect the truth in time.

Song Xingcheng was both distressed and angry. He Qianshan was the one who felt distressed. He couldn't be blamed for this. As a person in the situation, he couldn't see the truth at all. With his blood status, who would easily doubt the relatives he lived with day and night?

In particular, He Shangshui matured earlier and learned to cover up early. When He Qianshan really remembered things, she had already shown the appearance of a loving sister.

He Shangshui was the one who was angry. Song Xingcheng and Miss He were almost ten years apart in age. They had never been in the same circle, and he had never paid attention to this lady, but now he wished he could put the most vicious curse on the other party.

I only hate his clumsy mouth, and I can't get around those few words by cursing.

Feeling Song Xingcheng's wholehearted love and care, He Qianshan only felt warm from his heart to his whole body. He Qianshan was not particularly sad when he told the secret that had been pent up in his heart, but more relieved.

The author has something to say: there is a cutie who wants to see a city map, I put a hand-painted one on Weibo, that is my author name~
