Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

The gorgeous Victorian flag fluttered in the wind, and the guard holding the flagpole had golden hair like a waterfall, facing the midday sun, giving people a feeling of hope.

The weather in Xiaoqiu County is very good today, which is very suitable for holding a grand celebration. Feng Qingyu was very excited to have the honor to take a photo of the chief guard of honor.

"I'm going to take a picture, Eggplant——"

With a "click", the photo captured the most peaceful moment in Xiaoqiu County.

Forty-three float parade

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the bell tower of the Hill County rang thirteen times. The guard of honor agreed to use the bell as a signal to assemble near the square.

Long before Feng Qingyu came to Xiaoqiu County, the guard of honor had already practiced and rehearsed dozens of times for today's celebration, so today's parade was a piece of cake for them.

Every movement of the flag-bearing march is engraved in the body of the honor guard. As long as their hands touch the flagpole, they will react automatically, relying on the muscle memory accumulated over a long period of time.

"Ms. Feng, I have to meet up with everyone. If I'm late, the Chief Sergeant will blame me. The celebration starts at 2:30, so hurry up and grab a good spot. If you're late, there won't be any left. Here's a little suggestion. The communication tower right in front of the square has the best view, but it's a little difficult to climb."

The blonde lady Vaifan left with a smile brighter than the afternoon sun, walked away with brisk steps, the flag in her hand fluttering in the wind.

As soon as the bell rang, people on the streets of Xiaoqiu County began to pour out.

Everyone wants to be in the best position to watch a large celebration, rather than standing on tiptoe in a sea of ​​people and being blocked from seeing.

Feng Qingyu didn't want to stand in front of the square and squeeze with a group of sweaty and smelly people. The little suggestion provided by Willow was exactly in line with her psychological expectations.

However, the communication tower is not a place that anyone can climb, so Willow said it was "a bit difficult to climb". With Feng Qingyu's skills, it was not difficult to climb to the top of the communication tower, as if walking on flat ground. The only difficulty was to successfully avoid the garrison soldiers guarding the communication tower.

If he thought about it carefully, his brother was a major in the garrison of Hill County. Why should he hide and sneak up to see the view like a thief? He should just go with confidence and get Major Drake's pass.

The garrison will definitely be dispatched to maintain order at today's float parade, and Feng Qingyu found his major brother near the communication tower without much effort.

"Brother Yao, can you lend me your pass?"

She held the major's arm, acting coyly, though it was a little contrived and a little disgusting, all for the sake of the pass.

As long as the elder brother couldn't stand it anymore and handed over the pass, it would be considered a success. She didn't steal or rob, and she didn't do anything wrong, so it was no big deal.

"Tsk, don't call me that. Ever since I left the Feng family, I've rarely used the name Feng Qingyao. Don't speak in that tone in the future. I almost vomited my breakfast."

From the major's expression, it can be seen that he cannot accept Feng Qingyu's address just now. Not only is it corny, it is also very strange.

If Feng Qingyu was a cute little girl with a sweet look, less than 155cm tall, and a soft voice, he wouldn't say anything, but... a 172cm tall mature woman, grabbing his arm and acting coquettishly, this scene seemed incongruous no matter how you looked at it.

"So, can you lend me your pass? I want to watch the parade from the communications tower. I walked around the area and realized this is the best view."

The major hesitated for a while, but after thinking about it, Feng Qingyu didn't seem like a person who didn't know how to act. He was able to hang around in the streets of Longmen for so many years and even became a gang leader. He must be a fool. It's impossible for him not to know the consequences of his reckless behavior.

He also felt guilty about Feng Qingyu having her head hit by a Tara person on the street yesterday. He thought that he had failed to fulfill his promise to his mother to take care of his sister and protect her from harm.

It’s no big deal to just have a pass, just give it away.

"Okay, I'll give you the spare one. Remember, don't touch anything on the communication tower, don't do that, otherwise Colonel Hamilton will blame you, and I'm worried that he will kill you. That man is definitely not a good person. He broke my left leg. I hate him so much now that I wish I could cut him into pieces."

When Major Drake mentioned the highest military commander of Xiaoqiu County, he gnashed his teeth in hatred, and his eyes, which were not very friendly to begin with, became ferocious.

Feng Qingyu felt sorry for his leg. If he had asked the doctors in Rhodes Island to treat him earlier, he might have had a chance.

Although Rhodes Island cannot cure the oripathy, it should be able to heal the leg.

Half a year had passed since the incident. At that time, Feng Qingyu didn't know that he had a brother, and there was nothing he could do except express regret.

"Thank you~"

Feng Qingyu gave the major a hug of a family nature.

"I'll give it back to you after the parade is over."

"You won't need it for now. Take it with you. If anyone causes you trouble, show it to the nearest garrison soldier and they will help you. Be careful in everything. Xiaoqiu County is not peaceful recently."

"I know. I'm 26 this year after all. I know how to protect myself better than anyone else. Don't be so scared. By the way, this is for you."

She pressed into the major's hand an amulet she had bought at the Ursus airport.

"I heard that Ursus's amulet is very effective. This one is for making your wishes come true. It should be suitable for you."

This time it is black crystal. The crystal is made into a sign with a translucent texture, which looks very textured when placed in a place with light.

The major, like Tallulah, didn't believe that this kind of thing could bring good luck, so in order not to discourage Feng Qingyu's feelings, he took it and put it on.

"It's a nice amulet. Even I feel excited. Well, I still have work to do. You can have fun. Contact me if you have anything."

The two said goodbye temporarily under the communication tower. Feng Qingyu entered smoothly with his pass and took the elevator directly to the observation deck on the top of the communication tower.

The observation deck was empty, with no extra shelters, and only two soldiers guarding it. When they saw the pass, they respectfully stepped aside and stopped blocking the way.

"The scenery is nice, let's take a few pictures first."

Feng Qingyu stood next to the guardrail, took out his camera, and took a few photos of the square below.

The visual effect from a bird's eye view is quite shocking. The square and the streets near the square are packed with people, and the festive atmosphere is strong.

This also explains why when I arrived in Xiaoqiu County two days ago, I saw many tourists from other countries on the streets.

Although Xiaoqiu County is a very ordinary mobile city, it is very interesting to see when it holds celebrations, especially the flag-carrying guard of honor.

In such a harmonious scene, there are also some disharmonious factors stirring in the dark.

What Feng Qingyu saw were two parts. One part was part of the garrison of the nearby Xiaoqiu County quietly moving towards District 17. The other part was a group of guys wearing black cloaks and black hoods, whose nature was unknown.

"Who are these people? They are wearing the same uniform and look very organized and disciplined, but... Victoria's army does not have such a structure."

Feng Qingyu had looked at the uniforms of all branches of the military in Victoria, but had not found that style.

"Is it necessary for the celebration?"

Her right eyelid began to twitch again.

Forty-four heroes

Feng Qingyu looked at it for a while, and felt his eyes ache. He took out some eye drops and put a few drops in to relieve the eye fatigue. He looked at the street corner again, and the man in the black cloak had disappeared.

Maybe... it's an illusion?

People's eyes are always confused sometimes, maybe I was dazzled by the crowds of people. There were many people wearing black coats in the crowd, thousands of them, so it was normal to make a mistake.

"Oh, right, those garrison soldiers... No, I have to go inform the people of Tara."

Every time the garrison is deployed, there will be no good news. They will definitely launch an action against the people of Tara. My brother Major Drake also said that Colonel Hamilton is preparing to make a big move, and the target is the innocent people living in District 17.

She is not a saint, nor does she hate those people for no reason. From the perspective of justice, she should do something.

"What a pity... I can't watch the parade again. Miss Willow... Miss Willow, forget it. Don't disturb her. Don't delay her career."

Feng Qingyu put away his camera, took the elevator downstairs, and left the communication tower as quickly as possible.

It is useless to go to my brother Major Drake now. He is not the supreme commander of Xiaoqiu County and cannot make the decision. If I rashly ask him for help, he will be blamed again.

"By the way, you can try to contact Miss Bagpipe and Miss Horn. That super hot Miss Rupert seems to have a strong sense of justice."

She would never give up, and would take action immediately if she wanted to do something.

Last time, Haojiao left a contact number. Feng Qingyu used the communicator to tune into the communication line provided by Haojiao without thinking and waited for a response.

Using a mobile phone can be eavesdropped on, but using special communication equipment cannot.

"The code for the communication line is...1145141919810."

Such a long password was hard to remember, and Feng Qingyu memorized it several times before he could memorize it. Although he felt that something was wrong, he couldn't tell why.

The horn was quickly connected, and a businesslike female voice came through. In short, there was no emotion.

"Miss Feng, is there anything I can help you with? When will Major Drake agree to meet with me?"

"This...Major Drake is currently unavailable. I have something else to discuss with you."

"please say."

"I saw some garrisons moving towards District 17. I'm worried that something might happen to the Tara people there. Major Drake told me that Colonel Hamilton is going to target the Tara people recently, so I should be careful."

"I see. I'll go over there with Bagpipe right now to check it out. Thank you for your notice."

Di-

The communication is automatically cut off.

Hornet didn't say a word, just like a ruthless working machine. She was as serious and meticulous as all the soldiers in Feng Qingyu's impression, and her words and deeds might lack a little humanity.

Compared to her, Bagpipe is at the other extreme, lively and enthusiastic, and even has some childlike innocence.

"She's pretty, but her personality is hard to deal with. My Kal'tsit is better. Her foul mouth is totally acceptable to me."

Hanging up the phone doesn't mean you can stay out of it, Feng Qingyu also tried hard to rush to District 17.

There were more and more people on the road, all rushing towards the central square of Xiaoqiu County. Feng Qingyu had to change his route and go where there were fewer people.

When she reached the intersection of District 17, she saw bagpipes and horns standing on the roadside. It was the same as usual, nothing special.

The garrison soldiers did not make a big fuss to embarrass the Tara people living here. Except for the patrol soldiers, the team that Feng Qingyu saw was nowhere to be seen.

It’s strange, they were clearly heading towards District 17. Could they have stopped for a walk along the way?

"Weird."

Feng Qingyu, the bagpipes and the horns merged into one.

The horn's expression was a little more anxious than the last time he saw her. The progress of the investigation in Xiaoqiu County was seriously hindered. Putting himself in her shoes, Feng Qingyu felt that he would not be much more comfortable than her.

Failure to complete the task, anger from superiors, contempt from subordinates, and the people of Xiaoqiu County are also caught in an unknown crisis. The pressure from these three aspects is concentrated together, forming a heavy mountain pressing on the body, and the horn must be suffocated.

What she is most concerned about now is definitely when she can meet Major Drake. Feng Qingyu really can't tell her that Major Drake dare not have any relationship with her due to pressure from the colonel.

The shadow of lameness has always been with the major, and he certainly doesn't want to experience it again, otherwise he will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Seeing the horn, Feng Qingyu suddenly felt conflicted about whether to tell the truth.

"Miss Horn, Bagpipe, you are all here..."

"Ms. Fengfeng, the captain and I walked around here for a few times, but we didn't see the garrison soldiers you mentioned. What's going on?"

Feng Di was sweating profusely and was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to wipe her sweat. Feng Qingyu couldn't bear to watch it and took out a few wet wipes from his backpack and gave them to her.

"Wipe it first."

"Oh, ok, thank you. Do you want any, Captain?"

Fengpi gave half of the wet wipes to Horn. Horn nodded and wiped the sweat off his face and neck. Feng Qingyu went to the convenience store and bought three bottles of water, one for each person.

These two might have been jogging over from a far distance. The afternoon sun was very strong, so they were both quite exhausted.

Feng Qingyu was a little afraid to look into the eyes of the horn. An inexplicable feeling of guilt lingered in her heart, even though she had done nothing wrong.

Finally, she was going to face trial.

"Miss Feng, what's going on with Major Drake? I don't think he's really so busy that he doesn't have time to listen to me. Last night, Bagpipe and I saw him having fun with someone in the bar."

"This……"

Feng Qingyu was speechless for a moment. It seemed that the major didn't want to meet with Horn and the others.

"I'm sorry, my brother...had a disagreement with Colonel Hamilton over a certain operation, and the two had a particularly fierce argument. During that argument, the colonel used force on him, and his legs were left with a lifelong disability, and he can only walk with a limp forever."

Once a person is frightened, it is difficult to cheer up. Feng Qingyu didn't want to force his brother to do something he didn't want to do, nor did he want to see Haojiao and the others disappointed.

If you want everything, you will end up with nothing.

The situation was awkward for a while. Horn listened to her quietly, and understood the major's behavior but did not agree with it. Then he looked at Feng Qingyu, who was usually so talkative, but now he was silent. He must have been frightened by his eyes.

"Miss Feng, I don't mean to blame you. You don't have to be so nervous. I know very well what kind of person Major Drake is. I also know that he has a strong sense of justice. I have heard about his injury and disability. In order to protect a Tara girl who was almost violated, he had a conflict with the colonel's men. That man was a confidant of the colonel, and he bit back, which led to the incident."

The content of the horn was a completely unfamiliar story to Feng Qingyu. She had never expected that her brother was actually a hero.

"Major Drake is a brave man, so I need his help. We need to find out what Hamilton is up to. Before it's too late..."

Forty-five code

The words of the horn made Feng Qingyu's determination waver again. She had reason to believe that this young lieutenant cared about his country and was not looking for Major Drake for his own selfish desires.

Her brother's behavior might be worthy of criticism, but she was not qualified to do so. Without having experienced the suffering of others, she could not empathize with them, and her criticism was like a sarcastic remark, which only added to the rift.

The situation developed to a tense point, and Feng Qingyu began to become like the people in this city, feeling restless and uneasy.

No matter what, the things that need to be solved must be solved first.
