Chapter 409: Reported
Xu Mo found out after these people came outside the door.
But he didn't panic.
Looking at Bai Qing and Wang Jia, who had puzzled faces next to them, he waved his hand, then stepped forward and opened the door.
Xu Mo looked at the soldiers who formed a half circle around the door, with a calm look on his face.
His eyes fell on an officer behind the soldiers.
"Excuse me, what's the matter?"
Seeing the calm expression on Xu Mo's face, the leading sergeant looked at Xu Mo. After confirming that he was not carrying a weapon, he pushed aside the soldiers in front of him and walked up.
"Sir, I suspect there is something wrong in your room, so I need to go in and check it out!"
"oh?"
Xu Mo's face was stunned.
"I think we have a right to know, what's going to happen with our room?"
After the sergeant heard this, he hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Indeed, we have received reports. In the past three months, you have rarely left your room, and you have rarely even gone to the restaurant!"
At this point, Xu Mo understood instantly.
"Why, we are doing something wrong by not eating the restaurant's food?"
Bai Qing walked out of the room and asked angrily.
"Of course ma'am!"
"However, we need you to explain where the food comes from, after all..."
The sergeant spread his hands, his meaning self-evident.
Indeed, in three months, I had hardly eaten in a restaurant once, so it was normal to arouse suspicion.
after all.
There was already little food on the ark itself.
If it weren't for the large number of fish caught from the sea every day, the food on the ark would have been exhausted.
In this case, if someone reports something related to food, the officials will naturally take it seriously.
Xu Mo and the others had naturally thought of a way to deal with this, but what they couldn't figure out was who was so bored that he reported them.
You know, to be able to draw this conclusion, the other party must be watching near their door for a long time.
The only ones who can do this seem to be their nearby neighbors.
However, at this time, Xu Mo did not dwell on this, but directly motioned for the officer to come in for inspection.
After the officer heard this, he did not hesitate and walked in directly with the soldiers.
The furnishings in the room are relatively simple.
This also led to the fact that after he came in, he immediately saw a suitcase under each bed.
Apart from this, there is no other special place in the room.
The officer waved to the soldiers behind him.
Three soldiers stepped forward, each took out a suitcase from under the bed, opened it and looked through it.
"Sir, something has been discovered!"
A soldier shouted, and then walked over holding a medium-sized iron box.
Immediately afterwards, two other soldiers took out an identical box from the suitcase they had searched.
When the officer saw this situation, his eyes lit up.
"Open!"
The fonts on the box are all Chinese characters. Unfortunately, none of them recognized them.
soon.
The soldier who came out first with the box opened the iron box, reached out and groped inside, and finally took out a transparent bag containing...compressed biscuits!
The officer took the compressed biscuit, opened it and looked at it carefully.
"This is……"
He looked at Xu Mo and the other three who looked calm next to them.
Not leaving the room for a long time would cause other people to suspect this matter. How could Xu Mo and the others not think of this.
At that time, they thought of two methods.
One is naturally to go to the restaurant every day to show off.
In this case, it would be a bit cumbersome for the three of them.
Therefore, they naturally took the second approach.
"So, you three ate compressed cookies for three whole months?"
"What if?"
Xu Mo nodded.
"Do you think that because the three of us can conjure food out of thin air, we don't need to eat in a restaurant?"
"No no..."
The officer waved his hand.
"I just don't understand something, obviously..."
"There is obviously food in the restaurant, but we are eating this kind of thing in the room, right?"
Bai Qing walked out from the side, looked at the officer and said.
"Well... I do have some doubts about this!"
The officer did not deny it.
This is indeed what he had in mind.
At this time, Xu Mo walked out.
"Because we want to save food for the Ark!"
Next, he opened his mouth to explain.
"Because before boarding the ark, we thought about it and felt that the tide would not recede so easily, and the food on the ark was obviously not endless!"
"So each of us brought a box of compressed biscuits. Although the food we saved is limited, maybe we can sustain the people on the Ark for one more day!"
Although I think this reason is a bit nonsense, it is completely tenable.
After hearing his words, the expressions on the faces of the officers and soldiers in the room became very wonderful.
In their opinion, although the behavior of the three people seemed a bit silly, as vested interests, they could not help but feel a sense of respect for the three people.
It's like everyone hates the Holy Mother.
But if he were the one whom the Holy Mother insisted on saving, then the situation would be completely different.
They didn't think the three were lying at all.
The facts were already in front of them.
This box of compressed biscuits was packed with ten kilograms, and only about one-fifth of the portion was left in each of them at this time, which was completely in line with the appetite.
It was even more impossible for anyone to think that the three liked the taste of compressed biscuits.
After all.
Once you have eaten one bite of this thing, you definitely don't want to take a second bite.
What's more, if they only eat this every day for three months, if they were asked to do it, they would rather die.
After understanding the cause and effect, the officer couldn't help but salute.
"The spirit of the three people who sacrificed themselves for others is admirable!"
"It's just a trivial matter!"
Xu Mo waved his hand, and then looked at the officer in front of him.
"I don't know who reported us!"
His gentle personality does not mean that he will not take revenge. Those who stabbed them in the back must be found and retaliated fiercely.
After hearing this, the officer's face showed a trace of embarrassment.
After hesitating for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and looked up at Xu Mo.
"According to the rules, this kind of thing cannot be said, but I admire what you have done, so I will make an exception and tell you!"
After saying that, he leaned close to Xu Mo's ear and whispered a few words.
"Is it her?"
After hearing the officer's words, Xu Mo also showed a hint of surprise on his face.
