Zenless Zone Zero: I'm a Succubus in Sixth Street

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: The Evidence is Stolen



Through her own classified network, Qingyi easily obtained the location of the transport vehicle. Although the surveillance signal was somewhat delayed, the vehicle currently seemed to still be heading towards its destination. However, Qingyi discovered with some confusion that the vehicle had previously stopped in the Hollow for a brief 10 minutes. Although this was not a long time, if someone had planned this in advance and used an EMP emitter, then it wouldn't be a difficult task to take away the evidence.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuan immediately wanted to report the news to the bureau, but she was stopped by Qingyi. Because an evidence vehicle traveling within a Hollow would occasionally stop briefly due to changes in the Hollow's terrain. At this moment, they had no conclusive evidence, so even if they made a report, the bureau would not immediately dispatch personnel to the scene for investigation, but would first conduct a remote analysis according to procedure.

And besides that, there was another point. The culprit had previously said that their organization had scouted the area in advance. From this point of view, it was possible that there was already a mole in the bureau. Qingyi had also thought of this point. Fearing that it would alert the enemy, she suggested not to report it for now. Zhu Yuan also felt that this was very reasonable upon hearing this.

But what should they do now?

"For now, the only way is for me to personally make a trip into the Hollow."

Just as Qingyi finished speaking, Zhu Yuan on the other side immediately spoke up in opposition. "Wait a minute, senior. Not only is this against the regulations, but it's also too risky."

Qingyi didn't care about Zhu Yuan's objection. Because the situation was urgent now, it was not the time to consider so many things. And Officer Bringer was also arriving soon. Zhu Yuan needed to stay here to receive him, so only Qingyi could go.

Seeing that the officer's car had already arrived at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, Qingyi no longer hesitated. She handed the scene over to Zhu Yuan, and she herself, facing the setting sun, prepared to head to the Hollow.

Looking at Qingyi's departing back, Zhu Yuan lowered her head, her hand placed on her chest suddenly clenching into a fist. It seemed she had made some kind of decision. "To sacrifice to a spirit that is not one's own is flattery. To see what is right and not do it is cowardice..."

"Hm?"

Qingyi turned her head with some confusion to look at the murmuring Zhu Yuan. The latter was still lowering her head at this time. "Senior, you said before that as a Public Security officer, it is enough to be sure that you are doing what you should be doing. Although I chose this profession because of the officer's influence, it was not to repay him, nor was it to receive his praise... I only hope that I can be like him at that time..."

Zhu Yuan suddenly looked at Qingyi in front of her, her eyes filled with determination. She then said loudly, "Senior, I'm going with you—that monster in the Hollow is by no means simple! We must protect the safety of the evidence! And, if Officer Bringer is still the officer he was back then... he would definitely approve of our choice."

Having said this, Zhu Yuan also walked towards the sunset with Qingyi. And behind them was Bringer, who had just gotten out of the car, his back to them, being interviewed by reporters. The light of the evening sun shining on the two of them was so dazzling. This formed a sharp contrast with Bringer, who was in the shadow of the building, illuminated by the flashes of the reporters' cameras.

But they weren't the only ones standing in the sunset.

At this moment, the siblings who had been eavesdropping in the corner also walked out.

"Brother, since the evidence is in danger, it seems we can't just stand by and watch."

"Mmm, then let's provide some help within our means to the two officers, just like last time."

After making their decision, the two of them first returned to the video store.

A period of time later, Zhu Yuan and Qingyi had already arrived inside the Hollow where the evidence was being transported. The two discussed that the culprit might have already succeeded at this time. And Zhu Yuan suggested that they first check the vehicle's drive recorder to find the specific location where it had stopped in the Hollow. The evidence was not small. The culprit's movement speed would not be fast while carrying it, so there would definitely be clues left behind. At that time, they could use this to analyze the culprit's movements. And finding the evidence vehicle first could also confirm whether their deduction was correct. Therefore, the two of them, having made their decision, immediately took action.

At the same time, on the other side...

"Brother, it seems Zhu Yuan and Qingyi want to find the evidence vehicle first."

"Mmm. Fairy, is there a shortcut to the evidence vehicle?"

After confirming the target, Wise directly asked Fairy if she could search for it. The latter naturally expressed her affirmation and then began to plan the route. Since the matter of the route had been resolved, the next step was to find a way to lead them there without being discovered. After all, at a time like this, if they directly went out and said they wanted to help guide the way, they would definitely be suspected.

So, with a little more effort, Zhu Yuan and Qingyi finally ended up on the route planned by Fairy. By the time they arrived in front of the evidence vehicle, the journey had been so unexpectedly smooth that even Qingyi couldn't help but feel strange and suspicious. But she didn't know who to direct this emotion at, so she could only check the situation of the evidence first.

"Just from the outside of the vehicle, there's nothing unusual. There's no sign of damage or it being opened. It seems we must check the inside." As she spoke, Qingyi was about to make a move. Zhu Yuan at the side, seeing this, couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, although it's for the safety of the evidence, if we do this kind of thing privately, we will definitely not be able to avoid writing a self-criticism report and having our pay docked in the future... Forget it, let's not worry about these things for now. Senior, please help me open the lock."

Since things had come to this, there was no turning back. Qingyi then took out a passkey and opened the door. But the inside of the vehicle was not as empty as they had imagined. The evidence container was placed neatly inside, and the seal was still on it.

Zhu Yuan, after seeing the scene in front of her, subconsciously thought that she had made a misjudgment. But who let her have Qingyi by her side? Because of a robot's superior computing ability, Qingyi discovered that the angle of the seal on the box was off by about three degrees, and the Aether signature inside the box was also different from when it was at the plaza.

Hearing these words, Zhu Yuan immediately became serious again. "The culprit has indeed already taken the evidence. And for them to go to such great lengths to create the illusion that the evidence is still here, it seems they not only want to steal things, but also to deceive H.A.N.D. without a sound."

"Mmm, there must be some ulterior secret about that monster at the plaza..." As she spoke, Qingyi also used her slender, scallion-white fingers to support her small, fair chin. But just as she was thinking, she suddenly heard some sound and immediately shouted a reminder.

"Zhu Yuan, watch out!"

The two of them quickly dodged. Then, a dense hail of bullets came from behind a nearby low wall, hitting the evidence vehicle.
