Chapter 299 The Weapon is Missing
At this time, Qin Fu was silent for a moment, as if he was quickly sorting out the known information in his mind, and then slowly said:
"The Gray Messenger? During this time?"
These three words made everyone present look surprised, and curiosity and uneasiness appeared in their eyes.
Wu Jinqiang couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked quickly:
"Gray Steep Envoy? Who on earth is this person?"
Mo Yiyan followed suit and put forward his own views:
"Listening to this name, it might be the code name of some mysterious organization!"
After hearing this, Qin Fu nodded slightly, as if he agreed with Mo Yiyan's guess.
However, at this moment, Sun Wu raised a more pointed question:
"Could it be an organization like the Believers? But why are they so cruel as to take people's organs and muscles? What kind of conspiracy is hidden in this?"
However, faced with this series of questions, Qin Fu did not respond immediately.
He just sat there quietly, his eyes deep, as if he was thinking about more profound issues.
The whole room fell into silence in an instant.
At this moment, a trace of anxiety flashed across Han Zichu's face. She stood up suddenly and said anxiously:
"Now that we have locked on to the murderer who killed Lu Ailun, why are you still hesitating? Act quickly to seek justice for Lu Ailun and avenge Lu Ailun!"
However, Qin Fu shook his head gently, his expression revealing calmness and composure.
Seeing this, Han Zichu wanted to argue a few more words, but at this moment, Ye Liu, who had been silent all the time, spoke.
"Fumeng City is facing the second wave of attacks from alien races. We need a large number of manpower to resist. At this critical moment, we cannot leave easily."
Xu Wenting also quickly echoed:
"Yes, now we know who are the murderers of Lu Ailan. But revenge still needs long-term planning. Let us resist the second wave of attacks from the alien race and stabilize the situation..."
However, before Xu Wenting finished her words, Wu Jinqiang slammed the table, stood up, and shouted angrily:
"Those murderers were cruel and merciless and killed our people. We must avenge them! We must make them pay with blood!"
After hearing this, although Han Zichu's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible disappointment, she also knew very well that what Xu Wenting said was true, and she naturally understood the interests involved.
"understood."
She nodded slightly.
Afterwards, in this depressing atmosphere, everyone simply ate something without any taste, just to fill their empty stomachs.
After the meal, they each returned to their rooms, perhaps to rest, or perhaps to sort out their thoughts in silence.
The early morning sunlight shines through the curtains, quietly waking up the sleeping people.
Qin Fu got up early and led a group of people towards [Visiting].
When they arrived at the slightly shabby door of [Visit], they saw Old Man Sun standing there, his figure slightly hunched, his eyes full of anxiety. He seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Qin Fu and his group, he hurriedly ran forward with a staggering step, his voice trembling and panicked:
"You guys are finally here! I've been waiting for a long time."
At this time, Wu Jinqiang frowned slightly, with a bit of doubt on his face. He raised his voice and asked loudly:
"What's the matter, old man? Why are you in such a hurry? Is there a problem in the casting process?"
Upon hearing this, Old Man Sun quickly waved his hand and shook his head, and said with a somewhat anxious look but trying to remain calm:
"There is no problem with the casting. I can assure you that not a single gram of material was wasted. Moreover, these two finished products can be said to be the most satisfying works in my forging career. Both the craftsmanship and quality are perfect..."
However, when he got to this point, his words were suddenly interrupted, and an indescribable worry flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Qin Fu said calmly:
"It's okay, Mr. Sun, just go ahead."
Old Man Sun swallowed his saliva, as if trying to calm his inner panic. He replied in a trembling voice:
"But...something happened...that special weapon that could disperse countless beads, it...it just disappeared out of thin air, it disappeared without a trace..."
By the end of his speech, his voice had become unusually low.
When Wu Jinqiang heard this, his face was instantly filled with astonishment. He shouted in disbelief:
"What? You old man, are you suffering from Alzheimer's? How could you lose something so important?"
Seeing this, Mo Yiyan gently patted Wu Jinqiang on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down first.
He then asked in a calm but firm tone:
"Could you please elaborate on the circumstances under which this weapon was lost? Specifically, at which stage or location did it disappear?"
Old man Sun was a little at a loss at the moment. He gestured the situation with his hands, his face full of anxiety.
"I... I had carefully placed the two carefully packaged finished weapons on the table. Then, I went to the bathroom, but when I came back, I was shocked to see that one of the weapons was missing! In a panic, I turned the whole place upside down, but I couldn't find any trace of the weapon. It disappeared mysteriously, as if it was swept away by an invisible wind..."
Then, Old Man Sun took out the remaining weapon, the remaining flat-bottomed socket, from the depths of the workbench with an apologetic look on his face and handed it carefully to Qin Fu.
His hands were trembling slightly, and his eyes were full of helplessness and self-blame:
"At this moment, this is indeed the only finished product left. If the all-important Carmelite stone had not been used up, I should have been able to forge another weapon exactly the same. At this moment, I am helpless... I am really sorry to have disappointed you."
Hearing this, Wu Jinqiang's face suddenly darkened, his eyes widened with anger, and his voice was filled with a hint of gunpowder:
"You bad old man, are you hiding that weapon secretly and planning to sell it for a good price in private?"
When Old Man Sun heard this, his face turned pale with fear, and he quickly waved his hands and shook his head:
"I... how can I have the guts to do this? This is Director Qin Fu's stuff. Even if I had ten leopard guts, I wouldn't dare to do such a deceitful thing!"
At this time, Xu Wenting also stepped forward and said in a soft voice:
"Grandpa Sun would never do such a thing! And he would not easily destroy the brand and reputation he worked so hard to build!"
Wu Jinqiang's expression remained solemn when he heard this. He frowned and replied:
"What should we do? Should we just let it go? You know, that is the precious Carmelite stone."
