Chapter 10: Food shortage
That's it?

What do you mean?
Even if you give me 80,000, that would be fine.

And you still say "happy cooperation", but you, little golden man, are just an acting expert, you just pretended to be dizzy and fell a couple of times.

If we want to defeat Li Yao, doesn't it all depend on me?
Meng Xingchen was completely confused.

I thought I could make some money and solve my predicament of having no money to eat. But I didn't expect...

"Why are you standing there? Why don't you leave quickly? Our police station is very busy!" The police officer who had just spoken to Vinina looked at Meng Xingchen and urged him in a bad mood.

When talking to him, people are not so polite.

Meng Xingchen didn't say anything and followed the two police officers into the car.

A police car remained on the spot to continue investigating the scene, while the police car carrying Meng Xingchen also drove towards the city.

Meng Xingchen originally wanted to ride his motorcycle to the police station, but the police officer would not let him, saying that the team responsible for investigating the scene could take his motorcycle back when they returned.

But it might be a little late, so I asked him whether he wanted to take it to the police station or to the Bolenas Building.

Meng Xingchen said, then you can take it to the company and leave the key in the security room.

……

The police station was indeed very busy. When Meng Xingchen followed two police officers passing through a hall, he heard a lot of chaotic noises inside and the phone ringing one after another.

He was very sharp-eyed and could hear a voice on the phone that interested him. "Don't worry, talk slowly. Where are you from? Can you speak Mandarin? What does 'a giant worm like Zhang Zhuo on the ground' mean?"

However, that was all he heard before he followed the two police officers into a corridor.

Just this one sentence was enough to shock Meng Xingchen.

Because he understood what it meant to be a "small giant worm on the ground."

This should be the dialect of a certain area in Yuxiangzhou-Shendu City.

In a room in the police station, Meng Xingchen quickly finished taking all the statements.

During this period, the police station also returned his mobile phone to him.

Meng Xingchen asked him again whether there was any bonus or reward like "heroic award" for his bravery in foiling a kidnapping plot.

The police officer who was taking his statement had a strange look on his face and said that a lot of paperwork was required and that the police station was very busy, so he might need to cooperate with the process and wait for approval from above.

Meng Xingchen thought about it and decided to give up.

After signing the transcript, a police officer escorted him out of the police station and thanked him for his cooperation. He was told not to leave Jiangnan City during this period and to keep his cell phone turned on, as the police station might contact him at any time to assist in the investigation.

Meng Xingchen also asked about the current situation of "Tie Zhuang".

The police officer did not hide anything and said that when they arrived at the first scene, Tiezhuang had lost too much blood and reluctantly told them that Vinina was kidnapped by Li Yao. His colleague Meng Xingchen handed him a mobile phone and asked him to call the police and an ambulance, and then he went to chase Li Yao, and then he fainted.

However, there were two "witnesses" at the scene, namely the two bodyguards around Vinina who had been knocked unconscious by electric shock. Tiezhuang cannot escape the suspicion of being involved in the "attempted kidnapping" and is currently receiving monitored treatment in the hospital.

Walking out of the police station, Meng Xingchen saw the black car that Vinina had been riding in was still parked in front of the police station.

However, the four people who were originally in the car, including Vinina, were not in the car.

It seems that they are still cooperating with the police in taking statements.

Meng Xingchen felt in his pocket, which contained less than a hundred yuan in change left to him by his predecessor, and then he searched along the street.

Unfortunately, given the current environment and time, he walked for a long time but couldn't find a restaurant open in the early morning.

There was no other way, so Meng Xingchen bought a bucket of instant noodles from a small convenience store that was still open, borrowed some boiling water to make noodles, and squatted on the street corner, slurping them to fill his stomach.

After finishing his instant noodles, he continued walking towards the Bolenas Building. His motorcycle was still there.

Halfway through the journey, Meng Xingchen turned into an Internet cafe.

After thinking along the way, he felt that he had two major supports when he came to the world of Devouring Star.

First, the "God-killing Pearl" in my mind.

Second, the God’s perspective as a time traveler.

I only have 4 years left to live, and the Killing God Pearl will definitely not be able to be used in the short term.

But the God's perspective of a time traveler still has a lot to offer.

There are many things that it is best to look up information on the Internet now, and compare it with the memories in your mind, so that when you encounter the opportunity in the future, you will have some idea in your mind.

After getting a temporary card at the Internet cafe, Meng Xingchen couldn't wait to start looking for the information he needed.

In later generations, the magnificent world of Swallowed Star officially "unfolds" many years later, on the eve of the college entrance examination when the protagonist "Luo Feng" is 18 years old.

At that time, humans on Earth had already established a firm foothold on land, 23 base cities had been established around the world, and a large number of so-called "ancient ruins" had been developed.

Shuimuzhou-Jiangnan City is one of the six major base cities in the future Chinese region.

From this point of view, "Little Golden Man Vinina" is still very lucky.

The Shuimuzhou-Jiangnan City, where she is now advocating investment, will most likely be the core area of ​​the "Jiangnan Base City", one of the six major base cities in the Chinese region in the future.

After searching on the Internet, Meng Xingchen quickly found a lot of things that interested him very much.

He memorized it carefully and even asked the Internet cafe administrator to borrow paper and pen, and wrote down many key points in a way that only he could understand.

While Meng Xingchen was looking up information in the Internet cafe, some things related to him were also happening in the police station which he had just left.

……

Police station.

Inside a special office, a slightly plump middle-aged police officer was watching a video in the smoke.

"Clap!"

Another middle-aged police officer with an untidy beard pushed open the office door and strode in.

"Old Ma, come and take a look at this!" The chubby middle-aged man immediately put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and called out to the bearded police officer who came in, "Your 'Special Operations Team' will definitely be interested!"

"What?" The bearded police officer rubbed his bloodshot eyes and said unhappily, "I just rested for half an hour! And you pulled me up again!"

The two middle-aged police officers had "flowers" on their shoulders, but even if Meng Xingchen was here, he didn't know what their police ranks were.

Pulling over a chair and sitting down next to the slightly plump middle-aged man, Bearded Old Ma took the cigarette handed to him and lit it, while watching the video playing on the computer.

After just one look, he was immediately attracted.

"Jeet Kune Do!" Bearded Old Ma stared at Meng Xingchen, who was violently beating up Li Yao in the video, with his eyes wide open. He quickly said, "Why is this guy so fierce? Who is this? If he continues to fight, someone will die!"

"This guy is called Meng Xingchen." The slightly fat middle-aged man laughed, "Look carefully, this is not ordinary Jeet Kune Do... In the early morning, an attempted kidnapping case occurred in the Bolenas Building..."

The slightly plump middle-aged man briefly recounted the incident, and finally said, "The place where they fought was on a steep slope on Lingshan Road. Because it is a high-accident section, the traffic police team installed a camera on the lamppost there. I just got this video footage from below... Lao Ma, are you listening to me?"

At the end of his speech, the slightly plump middle-aged man became a little angry, and he slapped the bearded old Ma who was already stunned beside him.
