My brother couldn't be a corrupted magical girl.

Chapter 30 The Return of the Gem

Ye Qiu City Guancheng District Police Station

The police chief looked at the interrogation room camera with a troubled expression. Just a few days ago, a vicious murder had occurred in his jurisdiction, and then a few days later, the Silver Lake Barbecue Evil Witch incident happened.

Good things didn't happen, but bad things kept happening one after another.

Fortunately, this matter also involved other departments.

If it's a case involving ordinary people, they need to solve it on their own. But when it comes to cases involving magical girls, they only need to provide assistance, and their responsibilities are relatively reduced.

In the interrogation room

Bai Yuze looked at the red characters above his head that read, "Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be punished severely."

She glanced again at the rosy-red magical girl in front of her, who was wearing a stern expression, and found her somewhat jarring.

"Name"

Bai Yuze

"age"

"24"

"gender"

"man"

"What did you remember before you fell into a coma?"

"After we finished eating barbecue, my sister said she was thirsty and asked me to buy her a drink. But after only a few steps, I suddenly felt dizzy and completely lost consciousness. By the way, how is my sister? Is she alright?"

Looking at Bai Yuze's worried expression, Xia Qing bit her lip and asked again, "You really don't remember what happened?"

"I really don't remember. Apart from my lips being a little swollen, my head hurts a bit, like I've been beaten up."

Xia Qing's lips curled up, and she said softly, "Alright, your sister is fine. My companion is next door asking about your sister. Pfft~ After confirming the information is correct, he will take you home."

Hearing a soft laugh, Bai Yuzhe looked up and asked.

Are you laughing?

Xia Qing glanced sideways, trying hard not to look at Bai Yuze, and said with a serious expression.

"No, I've received professional training; I won't laugh no matter what!"

"Nonsense, with that twitching face of yours, you're still saying you didn't laugh."

"I thought of something funny and couldn't help it," Xia Qing continued to argue.

Bai Yuze turned his head and pointed to the recorder behind him who was laughing uncontrollably.

"And what about her! Have you all thought of something funny?"

"Pfft~"

At this point, Xia Qing could no longer hold back.

The crimson-clad magical girl no longer cared about her dignified image, clutching her stomach and laughing wildly.

"Pfft~ Haha, I can't take it, hahaha, how did you get beaten up like that? Those symmetrical dark circles under your eyes make you look like a panda at the zoo, hahaha!"

隔壁房间

Bai Youqing's environment was much better. She was lying on a sofa with two bottles of strawberry-flavored nutritional drinks on the table. She needed two bottles of nutritional drinks to heal her body and mind after being so frightened today.

"Squeak."

The girl looked up and immediately saw the magical girl in the deep blue dress with a cold expression.

A few glistening little pearls instantly fell from his bright eyes, and he opened his arms to hug the magical girl.

"Sister Han Xue, what brings you here? I've missed you so much!"

"..."

Han Xue didn't speak, just stared at her quietly. The atmosphere of sisterly affection gradually became heavy. The air in the room seemed to be sucked out, turning into a vacuum. All words lost their sound, and there was only endless silence.

"Sister Han Xue, this really isn't my fault!"

On Saturday, I went out with my shut-in brother to get some fresh air and soak up some of our "loser" vibes, but we ended up in a park that Sister Yuyi forbids going to. Don't blame me for that!!

Bai Youqing grabbed Han Xue's smooth, white arm and wailed.

"I am completely innocent, Lady Han Xue!"

Even Han Xue's icy expression twitched slightly.

"Sister Yuyi doesn't mean to blame you, she just wants to know the specifics of what happened today."

"I went to a beef noodle shop with my brother first, had breakfast there, and got two apples. Then I went to buy him some clothes..."

"Stop. Focus on what happened before you lost consciousness."

Han Xue's face was as black as coal. If she were to continue talking like that, no one would be able to go home today.

Bai Youqing seemed to have more to say.

"Okay... After riding the Ferris wheel, I was just thinking about getting away from this troublesome place as soon as possible. Then the park called me and said I had won a prize and could go to Silver Lake BBQ for free."

I checked the map; it was outside Silver Lake Park, so my brother and I went there. While we were eating, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared, and upon closer inspection, the Abyss Monster appeared... Then, Senior Violet appeared and saved me.

Han Xue listened silently, this time without interrupting Bai Youqing.

After a long while, Bai Youqing looked at Han Xue pitifully and asked, "By the way, how is my brother now?"

"He woke up faster than you, and Xia Qing is questioning him right now. But..."

Just as Bai Youqing was about to pat her chest, she saw the hesitation on Han Xue's face.

That almost scared her to death.

"What's wrong with him? Is he partially paralyzed or completely paralyzed? It's okay, I can take care of him for the rest of my life."

Han Xue's face twitched. "It's not as serious as you think. It's just a slight disfigurement."

Bai Youqing finally patted her chest in relief and breathed a sigh of relief.

How could I not feel at ease? She was the one who beat her brother up with her own hands.

"I was so scared! I thought something had happened to him. By the way, Sister Han Xue, I'd like to get involved in this too. The more people there are, the more help we can have!"

Han Xue glanced at the text message the captain had just sent, shook her head, and said that some things need to be accepted gradually and cannot be forced.

"Xia Qing and I will handle this matter, so you don't need to worry about it. Today we're just getting a general understanding of the process. Tomorrow you'll probably have to go to Yu Yi's place again, so take care of yourself."

"Oh, okay~"

He took out a ring engraved with a green gem from the magical space and handed it to Bai Youqing.

"Don't complain. This is what Sister Yuyi asked me to give you. Sister Yuyi has already replenished the holy power inside for you. However, I want to emphasize that you should never use it unless absolutely necessary, otherwise it will easily attract the attention and attacks of disaster beasts and witches."

Bai Youqing accepted the Green Ivy Star, feeling both regret and surprise.

I thought that as a victim and witness to this incident, I could participate and join in the fun, but now it seems that's impossible.

However, touching the Green Ivy Star in my hand made me feel much better.

In the treatment room, the Sakura Magician looked at the girl lying on the hospital bed in a daze with a worried expression, her eyes filled with heartache. If she had known that coming to Yeqiu City would lead to this kind of thing, she would never have brought them here.

"Sakura-senpai, how are the two older sisters doing?"

After leaving the interrogation room, Xia Qing immediately went to the treatment room. She had already learned the general outline of what had happened from the people who had regained consciousness.

If it were her, she definitely wouldn't feel good either.

"Sigh, Xiaoqin is doing alright. She recovered quickly. She thinks the main reason is her lack of strength and she needs more training. She even went to visit the other traumatized victims just now. But Xiaoyi isn't doing so well. Since waking up, she's become quiet and withdrawn..."

"Those who aid and abet evil should be executed."

Hearing this, Xia Qing was filled with anger.

If she had known how things would unfold, she should have taken advantage of the special operations team's absence and given those bastards a good beating.

Peng Liang got into a black minivan at a parking spot not far from the police station.

Several intelligence reports were neatly placed on the chair.

Peng Liang glanced through it a few times; it was similar to the information he had seen at the police station.

A woman dressed in a pale yellow dress leaned on his shoulder, looking left and right.

After a while, seemingly feeling a bit bored, he yawned and lay back down.

In the car, Peng Liang, used to this, slowly asked, "What kind of person do you think Brother Ze is?"

"Ye Qiu, a 24-year-old male teacher at No. 1 Middle School in the city, has a good reputation in the neighborhood and volunteers at a nursing home in his spare time. He's also your good brother. What's up? You want to recruit him?"

Peng Liang shook his head with a wry smile, "If I could call him over, I would have done so long ago. It's just that he doesn't want to come."

"Then why are you saying all this?" The woman in the elegant dress rolled her eyes.

After a moment, the woman's eyes lit up. She picked up Bai Youqing's identification file and waved it around. "You want to use this to bring him in?"

"You're half right. Ever since the black card incident, the magical girls of Yeqiu City and our Security Bureau have actually been at odds. I want the brother and sister to act as a lubricant between our two departments."

"That might be a bit difficult. As someone who used to be an A-rank certified magical girl squad leader, let me remind you that the old woman from the Judgment Bureau will absolutely not cooperate with the Security Bureau on missions anymore. But it's okay, if you need help, I can use my connections to assist you."

The woman nestled into Peng Liang's arms, offering encouragement.

"By the way, let's go hiking on Yangshan Mountain together next Saturday. It's been a long time since we've done it."

Peng Liang stroked the woman's hair, a bitter smile flashing across his lips. "Xiao Lu, how about we go on Sunday? I have to work overtime on Saturday."

"Working overtime? I bet he's out on a date with that vixen!"

The woman named Xiaolu raised her head and said coldly.

"You have to give me some time, right? Don't worry, I will definitely give you both an explanation this summer."

"Okay, there's still a month until summer vacation. If this isn't resolved by now, it's either her or me, or me or her."

"Is there really no other outcome?"

"Yes, of course there could be another outcome, it just depends on who's lucky enough to be the first to grab your head and leave."

Upon hearing this, Peng Liang instantly felt a chill run down his spine. "You watch anime too?"

"I didn't watch it before, but my best friend recommended School Days to me, and I thought it was really good."

Peng Liang: "..."

After dropping his girlfriend off at home, Peng Liang sat in the car and sighed deeply before dialing Bai Yuze's number.

"Hey, Brother Bai!"
