Chapter 1213
Qi Mingyu, on the other hand, had full authority over the patrol team!
The survivors nearby, hearing the commotion, all gathered around.
"Exactly! What are the patrol teams even doing?"
Two lives lost!
"Didn't the base say they would protect our safety?"
A barely perceptible sneer curled at the corner of Liu Zhiming's mouth.
What he wants is this effect.
Qi Mingyu looked at him with cold eyes and said nothing.
Captain Chen also heard the commotion and quickly walked over.
Seeing the scene before him, he frowned deeply: "Liu Zhiming! What are you yelling about?! The facts haven't been investigated yet, what nonsense are you spouting?!"
Liu Zhiming retorted, "Captain Chen! The facts are clear! Qi Mingyu's poor command led to the tragic deaths of two survivors! He must give everyone an explanation!"
"An explanation?" Qi Mingyu finally spoke, his voice not loud, but carrying a threatening aura. "An explanation will naturally come. But not now."
He turned to the still-crying man, his tone softening slightly: "Stop crying. Come to my office and tell me everything that happened. The base will investigate and give you an explanation."
Upon hearing this, the man stopped crying.
A barely perceptible glint of joy flashed in his eyes.
But it was quickly overshadowed by sadness.
He took the child's hand and stood up.
Qi Mingyu winked at the patrol team member next to him.
The patrol team members immediately understood and followed behind the man.
Liu Zhiming immediately reprimanded them, "Where are you going?"
Before he could finish speaking, Captain Chen glared at him and said, "Have you made enough of a scene?! Take your men and go check the equipment!"
Liu Zhiming snorted and left with his men in a huff.
Qi Mingyu then walked over to Captain Chen and whispered a few words to him.
Captain Chen was taken aback at first, then his gaze swept over the two corpses on the ground, and then looked at the man's back, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
"Okay, go ahead and do it! Find out the truth."
Qi Mingyu nodded.
The group walked towards the office.
Liu Zhiming turned back to look at their retreating figures from afar, his face turning ashen with anger.
After the man and child were led to a separate room, the door was quietly closed.
This is the base's temporary interrogation room.
There are no windows.
The light is dim.
There was only one pale white light hanging from the ceiling.
The man's expression changed slightly as he walked in.
He instinctively took a step back.
"This...this isn't the office?" His voice trembled slightly. "Why did you bring me here?"
Qi Mingyu didn't say anything.
He went behind the table and sat down.
His gaze fell on the man, like two cold knives.
"Du Kuning," Qi Mingyu suddenly spoke, uttering the man's name.
The man shuddered violently, his face turning pale instantly.
"How...how do you know my name?"
Qi Mingyu sneered: "Everyone in the base has a brand new file created after joining. If I want to know, it's easy."
He paused, then continued, "You said your parents went out to look for work and didn't hear the air raid siren, which is why they died so tragically?"
Du Kuning nodded, his eyes reddening again: "Yes...yes..."
"Really?" Qi Mingyu's voice suddenly turned icy. "Then what about the fishing nets they're carrying? Do you need to bring a fishing net when you're looking for a job?"
Du Kuning's face turned even paler.
He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but couldn't utter a word.
"And another thing," Qi Mingyu's gaze fell on the child, "when the alarm went off, the broadcast repeated every minute. It lasted for a full fifteen minutes. Every corner of the base could hear it clearly. How could they not have heard it?"
Du Kuning bit his lip, his voice growing softer and softer: "I...I don't know...maybe...maybe they're old and their hearing isn't good..."
"Your ears aren't working properly?" Qi Mingyu sneered, slowly drawing a sharp dagger.
The blade of the dagger gleamed with a cold, icy light under the stark white lamplight.
Du Kuning looked at him in horror: "You, what do you want to do..."
He looked around, but the patrolmen standing there like two guardian deities just stared at him coldly.
He didn't show any emotion at all!
Qi Mingyu casually flipped the knife back and forth a few times, the sharp dagger in his hands was like a child's toy.
"This dagger is specially made. If you don't tell the truth, then I'll have to use some special methods! After all, what I hate most is lying!"
He suddenly threw the dagger.
The sharp tip of the knife flew straight toward Du Kuning, who was sitting there.
Du Kuning yelled and fell backward, landing awkwardly on the ground, the dagger grazing his hair.
Several broken pieces floated down lightly.
Just like Du Kuning's heart at this moment, it was floating around, unable to settle down for a long time.
"You, you... I'm going to sue you for illegal detention and abusing your power..."
When people are most terrified, they speak haltingly, but this does not diminish the threat in their words.
Qi Mingyu smiled dismissively and looked behind him: "I used my private connections? You all saw it?"
The two patrol members stood solemnly, their voices booming: "No!"
"Is he injured?"
"no!"
"you……"
Du Kuning was dumbfounded!
"I'll ask you one more time," Qi Mingyu's voice seemed to come from hell, "Why exactly are your parents out there?"
Du Kuning's lips trembled.
He looked at the dagger in Qi Mingyu's hand, then at the patrolmen watching him intently, and his body trembled like a leaf.
"I...I'll talk..." He finally couldn't hold on any longer, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground. "I'll talk..."
“They…they weren’t going out to look for work…it was me…it was me who told them to go…”
"Where are you going?" Qi Mingyu's voice was devoid of any warmth.
“Go…go to the breeding pond by the sea…steal fish…” Du Kuning lowered his head, not daring to look him in the eye. “I heard…hot spring fish are very valuable…I want them to steal a few…either to eat themselves or to sell them…”
It turns out that Du Kuning's family was very poor, and his parents were very old and unable to do heavy work.
He had previously suffered a serious illness, and after recovering, his health deteriorated, and he was unable to do any work.
We also need to raise a child.
The family of four lived a very difficult life, relying entirely on relief food from the base to survive.
However, this relief food could only guarantee that they wouldn't starve to death; it couldn't allow them to live a comfortable life.
A few days ago, the base distributed a batch of hot spring fish as rewards. Since their family hadn't contributed anything, they didn't receive any!
