"No, it wasn’t me who solved it."
Li Yi hesitated for a moment, but then spoke candidly, "It was Keke’s brother, Jiang Si, who did it. They had a conflict before. The two agreed to a fight and by the time I arrived, I saw that the lame one had been beaten up badly."
Yue Ji was taken aback, but then immediately shook her head, "Impossible."
"There was no other Magic Power trace at the scene, and someone was watching at the time. There were only the two of them in the alley."
Slamming the table, the Magical Girl member in her police uniform looked serious, "How could it be possible? Captain, you should know how dangerous a person polluted by Magic Power to this extent is, almost like half a Disaster Beast! Even a budding Magical Girl might struggle without experience."
"I know," Li Yi felt a bit helpless, "I certainly know it’s somewhat incredible, but because Jiang Si is influenced by his sister’s Magic Power, his physical qualities far exceed those of ordinary people. Back at the Disaster Strategy Bureau, he could jump six meters high... Perhaps he fought with all his might to defeat the lame one, perhaps he’s badly injured. I need to visit him later."
"Keke’s brother."
Yue Ji quickly caught the key point, "Keke is the new Magical Girl you found, right, Captain?"
"Yes, I took her to the Disaster Strategy Bureau for registration."
"Then it’s not surprising. Perhaps Keke placed some Magic on him."
Uh, that’s highly unlikely given their relationship.
Li Yi muttered in her heart, but Yue Ji continued, "Speaking of which, when she went to register at the Disaster Strategy Bureau, she happened to see the Miracle Seed being stolen, and then the Witch Association released a hidden Disaster Beast over there."
After taking a sip of water, Yue Ji’s expression was serious, "Quite a coincidence."
"Are you suggesting Keke is involved with the Witch Association? I was right there when she transformed for the first time."
"That’s not what I mean," the girl shook her head, "I mean, the people from the Witch Association might have targeted her, and it just so happened that they caused a commotion when she went to the Disaster Strategy Bureau, and also by chance, the people controlled by the Witch Association found her brother."
Li Yi also realized, "They want to capture Keke?"
"As one of the Magical Girls that emerged in Beihai City and wasn’t taken by the Cyan Cloud Sect," Yue Ji spoke in a low voice, "The Witch Association might be more anxious than us. It’s very likely that they are determined to get Keke. You have to be careful, Captain."
After a moment of silence, Li Yi took a deep breath.
In fact, she didn’t dare to say it, but it seemed Keke knew the head of the Cyan Cloud Sect, Zi Yuan.
That day, after a duel with Zi Yuan which left her unconscious, when she woke up, Keke confessed to her that it was Zi Yuan who taught her how to transform and use Magic Power, so Keke regards Zi Yuan as a teacher.
Keke joined the Disaster Strategy Bureau also because she hoped to become stronger and meet Zi Yuan again to become friends with her.
Though this new Magical Girl wanting to befriend the leader of an opposing organization like the Cyan Cloud Sect seemed a bit unconventional, Li Yi didn’t think it was a bad thing.
If they actually establish a friendship, maybe they could dismantle the Cyan Cloud Sect from the inside.
So she helped keep this matter a secret for Keke, thinking that as long as she kept an eye on Keke, no dangerous situation would arise.
Moreover, she always felt that someone willing to help new Magical Girls, perhaps that Zi Yuan wasn’t entirely a bad person.
Of course, this matter was absolutely not to be mentioned to Yue Ji, as she would certainly become very angry if she found out.
After all, the person Yue Ji respected most, her former captain Hyacinth, was pretty much forced to retire by Zi Yuan...
Li Yi put down the water cup and said in a deep voice, "You have to keep a close watch on the Witch Association’s movements in the police station recently. Report immediately once something is discovered, and we must deal with them at the first opportunity, as they still have the Miracle Seed, and it must be retrieved."
To Li Yi’s order, Yue Ji responded seriously, "Understood."
"As for the matter concerning Keke and her brother, I’ll handle it by myself. You don’t need to worry."
After saying that, Li Yi stood up, "Help me with the paperwork. I’ll go notify Keke, so she’s not caught off guard by the Witch Association. Actually, never mind the phone... I’ll just go to her house directly and see how Jiang Si is doing."
