"It was my sister who did it."
Hipper thought for a moment, ignored the scum who was still complaining behind him, took out a photo of a man in prison uniform from his pocket, and asked Zeppelin, "Is this the man?"
Little Zeppelin took one look and nodded vigorously, "It's him! He won't give me food to eat!"
Hipper said he understood, took back the photo, and handcuffed the man who had just stood up.
"We have captured a criminal who kidnapped and trafficked shipgirls, but he refused to give any information about the relevant personnel. I happened to run into him today. I have reason to suspect that you were involved in the illegal trade of innocent shipgirls, so I am bringing you back for investigation."
"I don't accept it!"
"Shut up!" Hipper made no secret of his disgust for him. "Last year's case was not my responsibility, and the Ship Girl Law was not promulgated, so you got away with it. If it's true this time, you'll stay in jail for more than ten years.
Come out again, slag!"
"As for you guys." Hipper looked at the three people carrying snacks, "Come to the bureau and assist in the investigation."
"Okay, officer." Su Xin nodded, "But before that, I suggest you wipe the chili powder off the corners of your mouth."
Hipper's face turned red, and he quickly took a piece of paper and wiped it twice. "I'm out on duty, not being lazy, you idiot!"
"...I didn't say that.
Today, both the human forum and the KanColle forum were flooded with a video.
The girl in the video kicked the aggressive man away with one kick, and the subsequent confrontation and the decision of the gendarmerie made netizens praise the girl in the video.
Someone in the post reposted last year's video. The similar scene made everyone like Su Xin more, and the screen was full of praise.
Then someone asked: [Am I the only one who noticed that this girl's name is 'SuXin'. Did she graduate from 'Calling Tide'?]
【What the hell?】
【Fuck!】
[Isn’t she a cool and beautiful lady with glasses? My goddess...]
[Isn’t the righteous beauty attractive? I’m good at being straightforward!]
Netizens only then realized that this little girl seemed to have more than just a sense of justice and fighting skills.
In a basement in a city not far away, two young girls in cheongsams were huddled together watching the video on their mobile phones.
When the older black-haired girl saw the person in the video, her eyes lit up, "Hmm? Isn't this Sister Yixian?"
The smaller, brunette girl tilted her head, "Yeah... sis is right."
"Should we go and seek refuge with her? It seems like we can barely make ends meet at home..."
The younger sister stood up under her elder sister's puzzled gaze, walked to the stove and lifted the pot lid, "...Can I open it?"
"Oh, that's not what I meant, Pinghai. I meant that we're all going to starve to death!"
Ping Hai nodded, "Okay, then I'll listen to my sister."
Ning Hai pondered for a while and made a decision, "Let's go. Sister Yixian's commander seems to be a very nice person. Maybe he will even provide meals for us!"
"...But sister, we don't have money to buy tickets..."
Ning Hai paused, thought for a long time, and then clapped his hands, "Wait for me to check the area code, then call the military police and ask them for Sister Yixian's number, right?"
"Well...sister is so smart!"
"Hmm... let me search... ah, no data?! Excess data will be charged extra!!!"
ps: He is allowed to show his face briefly, and then locked up for more than ten years. I hope everyone will not be affected by this chapter.
Chapter 244: Ninghai Pinghai Searching for Relatives
There is an additional charge for excess traffic, and Ning Hai felt depressed when he thought that he, who was already penniless, had to bear this expense.
To be honest, she has to share a pair of stockings with her sister, and you still expect her to pay for internet data. That would be like asking for her life.
Normally, she would even save on her buns, for fear that her sister would go hungry, or if she wasn't paying attention, the family's food reserves would be completely consumed. The current situation at home was so bad that even the rat Xiaoqiang avoided it.
Moreover, she has a "big baby" to take care of, and her younger sister Pinghai also has a "second baby" to take care of. Although they don't eat much, there are still two mouths to feed. It is really not easy for her to survive until now. If she doesn't save some money, I'm afraid she won't be able to eat for the next month.
The rent is all owed.
"...Sister, what should we do? Do we still have money?"
"Hmm... let me think of a way!" Ning Hai held up his forehead and frowned, "Money... money, money, money, money, money, money, money!! Why don't I have any money!!"
Ning Hai talked nonsense for a while, but decided to go out and stroll around the mall, not to buy things, but to use the free WIFI.
"If the guy next door hadn't changed his password, how could I have used my own data to watch videos? Damn... What can I do with 100M a month? Really."
Ping Hai nodded in agreement, "...Sister is right."
"Okay, I'm going to go out and try to contact Sister Yixian. You stay at home and don't walk around. I'll be back soon."
"Yeah, Ping Hai knows."
Ning Hai nodded, took Dabao with her, said goodbye and went out. Ping Hai waved at her from inside the house, then turned around and started lifting the pot lid.
"...Why does my sister always say she can't make ends meet?"
Ninghai and Pinghai live in a basement in a small city. Due to the remote location and the lack of any famous attractions nearby, they are able to rent such a low-cost residence.
However, the basement also has many disadvantages. Not to mention the lack of air circulation, the humid environment alone can easily cause food to spoil, which is a big problem for Ninghai Pinghai.
But there is no way, he has to live here. The low price has its reasons, so Ninghai Pinghai didn't feel wronged and lived here for a long time.
As for why she lives in such poverty as a ship girl...it's mainly because she has four mouths that eat too much.
If they need to maintain the position of their ships, they must regularly consume some oil resources used by ship girls, but this thing is quite expensive. Ownerless ship girls generally rely on accepting commissions to exchange for oil.
So the problem is, there are no wandering ship girl commission points in small places, and when they are born, the resources they bring with them have been used up just on the journey to the shore, but in the end, the place they arrive at is still not a city where they can accept commissions.
They had no money and there was no oil in this place, so they could only work to earn some money to make a living. But without oil as a source of energy, not only did their strength decrease, but their appetite also increased a lot.
This resulted in the two of them having almost nothing left from the wages they earned from odd jobs every month, after paying for rent, utilities, and daily necessities. The fact that they are still alive today can be considered as Ninghai's good housekeeping skills.
The two of them were planning to borrow some resources from someone to start, but they didn't know where to borrow them or who to borrow them from. This time, Su Xiaozhi's video was pushed on all major social platforms, which made Ning Hai, who was distressed when she was online, see the hope.
see.
"Oh... It's too hard to eat noodles every day..." Ning Hai closed the door of the basement, stepped up the stairs step by step, and walked outside into the sunny day.
"Well... no, I have to find Sister Yixian and ask her to lend us some resources. I can't let Pinghai live like this anymore!" Ning Hai identified the direction and walked towards the original destination, the shopping mall.
The sign of a big shopping mall is just called [Big Shopping Mall]. There are no big brands in small places. It is called a shopping mall, but in fact it is just a place where a supermarket and a snack bar are mixed together.
The big shopping malls don't have their own WIFI, but there is a milk tea shop that has wireless equipment installed. And it's reasonable for a frugal ship girl like Ning Hai to have a wireless network cracking application on her phone, right?
Ning Hai had cracked it before by using data traffic, and she said it was a reasonable investment, so this time when she went there, she could automatically connect to the WIFI outside the milk tea shop.
Ning Hai had to walk a long way for such a thing, but her attitude was very good. She didn't feel any resentment towards anyone, and her overall lifestyle was still very positive.
The pace of life in small cities is relatively slow, and you can often see four or five elderly people on the street, setting up a small table in front of a store on the street, drinking tea, playing cards, or chatting together.
When they saw Ning Hai, they greeted him happily, and Ning Hai responded very sincerely. After all, these old people really took good care of them.
When times were hard, the uncle who ran the fruit shop gave us a bag of fruit, saying that it was not fresh and could not be sold, so he simply gave it to Ninghai.
The bakery owner here also said that the cakes would not be kept until the next day, so they had to send them to them every few days.
The vegetable seller would always have some leftover green vegetables. Although they were not worth much, they were all out of everyone’s kindness and did help support Ning Hai Pinghai, who had not yet found a part-time job at the time, for a while.
Ning Hai has always been grateful to them, so every time he passes by he will greet this group of people living a leisurely life one by one.
The content of the greetings was not very meaningful, just questions like "Have you eaten?", "What did you eat?", "Where are you going today?", etc. As they asked more questions, the distance between them became closer.
After saying goodbye to her uncles, aunts, grandparents, Ning Hai spent another twenty minutes to reach the shopping mall. Enjoying the free air conditioning, she slowly walked towards the brand of milk tea shop she had never heard of.
As expected, the WIFI took only a few seconds to connect. Although the speed is slow, free is better than paid, right?
So Ning Hai seized the opportunity, looked up the area code of the area where the [Huanchao] school was located, and quickly dialed the number of the gendarmerie in the [Huanchao] area.
The phone rang for a few seconds before being connected. The person on the other end seemed to be a business person. He asked Ning Hai seriously but politely, "Hello, this is the Military Police Bureau of the "Chuanchao" District. How can I help you?"
"Ah... I, I want to ask what is Sister Yixian's phone number..."
[Yixian? Yixian from Donghuang? Um... I'm sorry, we don't have this police officer in our bureau. ]
"No... No, I saw her on video today. You should know her. I want to ask for her number..."
[Sorry, the bureau does not have Miss Yixian's contact information on file. Even if we do, we cannot easily tell you due to the confidentiality agreement. Please understand.]
"Ah...Is that so..." Ning Hai was a little frustrated. She thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Can I borrow money from you?"
The military police member who answered the phone was stunned, as if she didn't expect someone to make such a request. However, according to the principle of "helping when possible", they can indeed provide a certain degree of help, so she replied:
[Yes, you can choose to borrow money from the nearest gendarmerie, but you need to write an IOU to guarantee that you will return the full amount. ]
"Eh? Is it nearby? Well, I know, thank you, I will write it!"
[Okay, is there anything else I can help you with?]
"No, thank you for your hard work."
【Okay, bye.】
Ning Hai hung up the phone, and used the free WIFI to find the city’s gendarmerie. After taking a screenshot, he hurried out of the mall and walked towards his destination.
Chapter 245 Ninghai Pinghai Searching for Relatives 2
Pinghai's family only has one pot, a flat-bottomed one. Due to the small amount of ingredients used and the lack of technical content, the whole pot looks very thin and light, as if it was made of a piece of bent iron sheet.
This pot is often used to cook noodles. The noodles are made by them kneading the dough themselves. At first, they are crooked and the thickness is very uneven, but after eating it many times, their skills have become more sophisticated.
Since the pot is relatively flat, the food has to be cooked several times separately according to the appetite of two people to make a meal. Sister Ning Hai has been clamoring to change the pot, but she has never been willing to buy one.
Pinghai remembers that after they found odd jobs and received their first salary, Ninghai bought some milk, walnut milk and other things and gave them to the elderly people who had helped them.
"Grandpa and grandma take good care of us." Pinghai was young but very sensible. Therefore, even when she was very hungry, she never stopped her sister from spending money on others.
Even though she really wanted to drink milk
"Pinghai has grown up, so he must learn to be grateful..." Little Pinghai always asks himself this. Although he is not good at speaking, it is always right to follow his sister in greeting people when he meets them.
Pinghai trusts his sister very much because they were both born at the same place at the same time. It was his sister who chose the direction for him when he was helpless and pulled him back to the shore.
It was my sister who always loved me unconditionally when I was young. Whether it was food or clothing, Pinghai used the best things available.
Pinghai never said it, but everyone knew it in his heart. While becoming more dependent on his sister and being more obedient, Pinghai also vowed to make his sister happy.
"...So, let me cook for you today."
Pinghai is very confident. She can actually cook, although not as good as her sister. But noodles are relatively simple to cook.
So Pinghai carried Erbao on his back and staggered to the noodle jar. He opened the wooden lid of the noodle jar, but found that the jar was empty, without even a speck of white.
"It seems... I've finished eating..." Ning Hai was silent for a while, and suddenly realized, "Oh, I can't open the pot..."
In the past, every time she cooked noodles, her sister would go get the flour and Pinghai would help knead the dough, so she actually didn't know how much food was stored at home.
She only knew that she had not been hungry since the two sisters got jobs, but she did not expect that the situation at home would be so serious this time.
Pinghai didn't know what to do after a bad start. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't find anything to cook at home. It was really outrageous.
"Erbao...what should I do...I think I'm going to be hungry today..."
Just when Pinghai was at a loss, the door to the basement was suddenly opened.
Ning Hai rushed in, pulled Ping Hai and said excitedly: "We have money now, we can buy tickets to go see Sister Yi Xian!"
"...Eh? Do you have money?"
"Yes, I borrowed some from the military police. It's enough to buy the tickets... Ah! I still have to go to the mall to buy the tickets online. I was so happy that I forgot... Then you pack up your things at home and I'll go buy the tickets.
Just check out and leave tonight!"
Pinghai nodded obediently, watched Ninghai leave, and then took a close look at the small basement where the two of them had lived for a long time.
The light is dim, the air is very humid, the floor is always slippery, and she doesn't know where to hang the laundry. But despite these shortcomings, Pinghai really likes this little home, and she feels a little conflicted about leaving it suddenly.
"Hmm...what should I bring?"
You have to bring bedding, even though it's just a thin layer.
Clothes should be brought, even if they only have two or three sets of old clothes to change;
"What else..." Pinghai looked around, his eyes fixed on the ugly black frying pan. After thinking about it, he decided to take it with him.
