Six o'clock in the afternoon.
It’s time for the inspection department to get off work. Li Hao is not a front-line law enforcement officer, so he naturally gets off work on time.
On weekdays, Li Hao would have left long ago.
But today, Li Hao was in no hurry to leave.
Director's office.
Wang Jie glanced at Li Hao and said in a deep voice: "You said you wanted to visit Zhang Yuan's home?"
"Yes."
"You and he are classmates. The current case may be a homicide. It's not impossible for you to investigate, but...it's a bit troublesome for the staff in the confidential room to apply for firearms to take home."
Yes, Li Hao is here to apply for firearms.
Wang Jie must give his approval before he can take the gun home.
Although the red shadow is very weird and the firearm may not be useful, the red shadow may not be able to come out now. In this case, Li Hao should be more careful about people.
If it were a human being, the firearm would be extremely lethal.
"Chief, I'm not taking it home, it's for case handling!"
Li Hao corrected it.
Wang Jie smiled. Taking it home and using it for handling cases are two different concepts. This boy is indeed a student of Yincheng Ancient Academy, and his nature has changed with just one sentence.
"Our confidential room is not a law enforcement team."
Wang Jie shook his head and Li Hao was a little disappointed.
He hasn't thought of a good way to deal with Hongying yet, because he doesn't know much about it, but if he holds a gun in his hand, it will increase his sense of security.
"Zhang Yuan's case has only been communicated with the law enforcement team. It has not been officially filed yet. You cannot apply for a gun based on this."
Said, Wang Jie thought about it and said quickly: "In this way, there will be an external inspection of Yincheng Ancient Courtyard soon, and the Inspection Department will send some people to carry out protection work. You fill out the form and apply to participate, so You have a mission, and as a protector, you are qualified to carry a gun."
Li Hao was stunned, and soon felt helpless.
After going round and round, this task is still hanging over your head?
In the morning, Chen Na mentioned this matter, but Li Hao refused.
Over at Yincheng Ancient Courtyard, I heard that my mentor is still leading the team this time. So, if I accept this task, I will have to see the teacher again soon?
Seeing his silence, Wang Jie sighed and said: "What's wrong? Are you afraid of being beaten by Mr. Yuan? I heard that when you dropped out of school, you had a bad time with Mr. Yuan. Xiaohao, since you After entering the Inspection Department, I think you should find an opportunity to improve the relationship. After all, he is your teacher."
"If Mr. Yuan gives you a hand, your future in the Inspection Department will be brighter, but what if? Everyone knows that Mr. Yuan doesn’t want to see you. Although Mr. Yuan is not in charge of the Inspection Department, others have to consider whether it is necessary to have trouble with Mr. Yuan because of a third-level inspection for you.”
Wang Jie has taken great pains. He doesn’t know the details, but he heard that Li Hao dropped out of school.Having trouble with his mentor.
The other party has no way to participate in the promotion and demotion of the Inspection Department, but the Yincheng Inspection Department has to sell some face.
"If you want to get a gun, this is the best way. It can also ease the relationship with your teacher and kill two birds with one stone..."
He was about to give some more advice, because He is very optimistic about Li Hao.
Without a few words of advice, Li Hao nodded and said, "Okay!"
The words that came to his mouth suddenly got stuck in his throat!
Wang Jie glanced at Li Hao strangely. Didn't he say that although this guy was kind, he had a bit of a bad personality?
Why did you agree so happily today?
Li Hao had an honest and helpless smile on his face: "Director, what is said outside may not be true. My relationship with the teacher is not that exaggerated. When I dropped out of school, the teacher was not very satisfied. , but it’s been a year, and I’m relieved. A few days ago, I was urged to do a good job in the inspection department.”
“That’s good, that’s good!”< /p>
Wang Jie nodded and expressed satisfaction. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Li Haoren was quite honest and it probably wasn't too false.
"Then you fill out the form. In a few days, you will have to go to the field to accompany the law enforcement team to protect the inspection team of Yincheng Ancient Courtyard."
Li Hao took it. After taking a look at the form, I saw that the trip date of Guyuan's inspection team was set at the end of the month.
However, the specific destination was not written down, and the entourage was just asked to be on standby.
This is also to prevent the news from leaking out. The ancient courtyard has a lofty status and naturally has its value. The inspection team of the ancient courtyard is led by my own teacher. I am afraid this task will not be too simple. .
I don’t know if it will conflict with Hongying’s matter.
When the teacher travels, there is a high probability that the night watchman will follow him. If Hong Ying activates at that time, it may be a good thing.
With a flash of thought, Li Hao quickly filled out the form.
"Go to the equipment warehouse to get equipment!"
Wang Jie put away the form.
Li Hao did not go out, he hesitated for a moment, and then carefully probed: "Chief, Zhang Yuan's case is a little... a little weird. Do you think it involves some unusual power? Can our inspection department really solve it?"
"Huh?"
Wang Jie quickly looked at Li Hao, his eyes moved slightly, and he frowned: "What did you hear? ?"
"No, no."
Li Hao was a little embarrassed, as if he couldn't hold it in anymore, but he said dryly: "I'm worried about the law enforcement team... , or something unexpected happened, I heard... our inspection department... seems to have another agency?"
"Okay!"
Wang Jie frowned: " Be careful! I know you may have heard some rumors, but this is not something we should discuss! And one more thing, don’t think about it. To be honest, if it comes to that, the trouble will be even greater!What time is it not a lot of trouble! ”
He didn’t want to say much, and he didn’t want to talk about the night watchmen.
The arrival of these people is not a good thing.
Once involved, When it comes to the night watchman, it will be very troublesome, and the arrival of the other party will often cause some big troubles
So he doesn't want to have anything to do with the night watchman unless he has to.
The law enforcement team is probably not willing to interfere with the other party.
Of course, when there is no other way, the night watchman will naturally appear. At that time, it is not whether the inspection department wants the other party. Appeared.
Li Hao nodded, and finally reminded: "Chief, I have observed the time when the self-immolation occurred, and it is rainy every time, and Yincheng will soon enter the rainy season again. , it has been almost a year since the last crime occurred. According to the past time points, I suspect that if it is a man-made homicide, it may have happened recently! ”
Wang Jie took note of this matter carefully.
He had just taken over the case and had not understood it in detail yet. Naturally, he did not know as much as Li Hao.
Hearing this, Wang Jie was silent for a while and nodded: "I will tell the law enforcement team that you should be more careful yourself and be more careful when you go to check Zhang Yuan's house. Do you need to deploy manpower to help? "
"No need! ”
Li Hao shook his head. He didn’t want to seek death. When he met the red shadow, ordinary people couldn’t see it and it would be of no use.
If he didn’t meet the red shadow, he would bring a gun with him. , and there are some other arrangements, then the problem will not be too big.
Besides, most of the confidential rooms are civilians. If there is really trouble, who will protect whom is still a problem.
p>
"Then be careful. Even though the person has been dead for a year, I don't think there is any danger. "
Wang Jie waved his hand and sent Li Hao away.
......
Li Hao quickly walked out of the office and breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Jie was still very caring.
He walked toward the equipment warehouse, holding Wang Jie's approval document. Soon, Li Hao received a dark black pistol, full of metallic texture.
The third generation of vortex has an effective range of 50 meters, and there is no accuracy at all beyond 50 meters.
It is said that some big cities have begun to promote the fourth generation of vortex, and the effective range can reach 100 meters. Of course, Yincheng is not a big city and has not yet become popular. Now, even the front-line law enforcement teams are using the third generation of Whirlpool.
It is issued with 18 rounds of bullets and can be loaded with 6 rounds at a time. It can be fired continuously, which is quite good. It's a deterrent weapon.
Before Li Hao entered the inspection department, although he entered the confidential room, he had been temporarily trained for a month, and shooting was also part of the training, so he didn't get it. I don't know how to use it.
I just stay in the confidential room and haven't used it for a long time.
Li Hao feels more confident
I just don’t know if it can be hurt.Hongying, that thing can't be seen by others, but you can see it. If you shoot at the opponent, will it have any effect? < /p>
"If I say now that I can see the red shadow..."
This thought flashed in Li Hao's mind.
But he couldn't help but think of the previous case files. Some of the guys who could see the red shadow finally disappeared.
Dead, or what?
Seeing Hong Ying, the night watchman may have intervened in such a case, but in the end, all those people disappeared or died.
Li Hao didn’t know whether these people were dead or absorbed into the night watchman.
Such uncertainty made Li Hao struggle.
If the night watchman can solve Hong Ying's problem and is willing to solve it, then what he has exposed is still valuable. I am just afraid... Is there any collusion between the night watchman and Hong Ying?
If he was exposed in advance, would the night watchman deal with Hong Ying, or would he deal with himself?
"Mysterious power... The night watchman may be like this, and the red shadow should be the same. Are the two parties working together, or hostile?"
Li Hao couldn't judge, he lacked understanding of these message channel.
If the two sides are in the same group in the end, those who discovered Hong Ying will be killed and silenced. This is the outcome that Li Hao is most worried about.
Headache!
At this moment, Li Hao was very confused.
He longed for the night watchman to take action against Hong Ying, to avenge Zhang Yuan and his parents, but he was worried that he would eventually go in the opposite direction, and instead expose himself and be silenced by the night watchman.
"Just wait a few more days..."
Li Hao knew that he was in danger, but even so, he would rather wait a few more days for the results from the law enforcement team and manner.
Now, I just accidentally discovered the anomaly in the self-immolation case. I believe that as long as the law enforcement team is serious, they will soon discover it.
At that time, if there were still smart people in the law enforcement team, Li Hao felt that the law enforcement team would probably contact the night watchman in advance.
Just now, Li Hao revealed that self-immolation cases are likely to occur in the next few days, just to make the law enforcement team feel the urgency. If the law enforcement team is used to lure out the night watchmen, then Li Hao will There is no need to expose it to see the red shadow.
"Furthermore, the teacher will soon lead a team to go out for inspection. In this case, the night watchmen will appear. Regardless of whether there are night watchmen in Yincheng, there should be night watchmen arriving in the past few days. . ”
After going over everything and convinced that the night watchman would most likely appear, Li Hao temporarily put aside the idea of exposure.
Whether the other party is in the same group may be known soon.
Before the rainy day arrives, if the night watchman has not appeared and has not taken the initiative to find himself,If you don’t talk to yourself to understand the situation...then you have to find a way to actively expose it.
......
Walk out of the inspection department.
The scorching sun has set, the sky is a little red, and the sunset is emerging.
There are not many people passing by outside, and the weather is sultry. Recently, it was even extremely sultry until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and very few people came out.
Li Hao’s home is not too far from the Inspection Department, about seven or eight kilometers.
Li Hao took out his bicycle and got on it. He has been riding to work this year.
On the one hand, it is to exercise, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid some dangers.
In places with many people, it is not easy to detect danger.
After Zhang Yuan's death, Li Hao has always been cautious.
As he got on the bike, Li Hao looked around unintentionally, as if he was looking at the road conditions and the scenery. In fact, he wanted to see if anyone was following him.
Especially today, it is determined that Hongying’s next target is himself.
Li Hao was thinking, how does Hongying position these people?
According to Li Hao's judgment, the red shadows will not appear for too long. They will disappear quickly every time they appear, and the time they stay outside is very short. In this case, how can they be accurately located?
Does that mean that there are actually people secretly observing in advance, just waiting for the red shadow to harvest and kill?
This possibility is not impossible.
Although he is not a professional patrol officer, Li Hao still has some basic anti-reconnaissance capabilities.
"Nothing has been found yet. Can the red shadow directly locate us? Is it related to the Starry Sky Sword on my body? Can we be tracked through these inherited treasures?"
The bicycle moved slowly, and Li Hao placed the Whirlpool Sandai in the inner pocket of his jacket. He unbuttoned the bicycle and looked like he was blowing air. In fact, he was trying to take out the gun and shoot as quickly as possible.
As always, Li Hao found no problem.
But when Li Hao rode downhill and the bicycle slid down quickly, Li Hao's heart skipped a beat.
On the rapidly sliding bicycle, Li Hao glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a small black car driving in the opposite lane. It was very ordinary and ordinary, and seemed to be no different from the vehicles coming and going.
"Silver 7219!"
Li Hao was shocked, something was wrong.
He had just seen this car. Although there were cars like this all over the street, they were just the most basic scooters. Nine out of ten cars were like this, but... Li Hao remembered this license plate!
Li Hao, who was admitted to Yincheng Ancient Academy, naturally has his own merits.
Having a good memory is almost a must.
If he didn't have any merit, he wouldn't have been favored by that old professor Yuan Shuo. He quickly entered Yuan Shuo's eye and became his student.
“Something’s wrong, this car was going in the same direction as me just now. I was riding slowly, and this car had already passed me and drove away.I left for about 7 minutes! ”
Seven minutes, according to the speed of this car, keep driving forward, there is a straight road in front, there is no suitable parking spot.
If you want to do something or give someone away, you have to do it. It didn't come back so quickly.
Now the other party came back and faced Li Hao, which meant that the car turned around and came back not long after leaving Li Hao.
Li Hao still drove back. His face remained calm, but he was shocked in his heart.
“I’ve never done this before. Today is the first time... Someone is really following me? "
"Why? "
Soon, Li Hao thought of a possibility. The case reported by him and Wang Jie...may have...been leaked!
"There is a mole in the Inspection Department! "
"Probably in the law enforcement team! "
This was Li Hao's first thought, and he couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart. Although the other party might be a coincidence and really just turned around, Li Hao did not dare to regard it as a coincidence.
Any coincidence should be treated as prepared.
“The royal family chief went to the law enforcement team and told them about the self-immolation case. If anyone on the law enforcement team knew that it was me who proposed overturning the case, they might be targeted. I! If the law enforcement team has any questions, they can ask me directly. There is no need to follow me, because I am only paying special attention to my classmates’ cases..."
"Also before, every report said Anyone who sees the red shadow on his own will be discovered soon... In fact, I have long thought that the Inspection Department has a hidden clue of the red shadow or the night watchman! "
Li Hao has read those case files and found that people who reported seeing red shadows soon died or disappeared.
Of course, it is difficult to find unless you pay special attention. .
When many inspections receive this kind of case, they just make a perfunctory note and don’t even make a follow-up visit, because it’s some nonsense.
But, Someone just noticed it.
What does this mean?
It means that someone in the inspection department must pay special attention to this. If someone reports the case, it will soon spread to another group of people.
“Am I being targeted now? "
"Is it because I raised the self-immolation case, and these people want to confirm whether I saw the red shadow or discovered it accidentally? "
"When Xiao Yuan died last year, I didn't dare to say that I saw the red shadow. If these people knew about it, they would most likely think that I discovered it by accident, not because I could see it. Hongying, otherwise I should have reported the crime last year! ”
In just a short moment, Li Hao thought a lot and analyzed a lot.
He is now a third-level inspector, or an inspector who has just discovered something wrong with the self-immolation case. , Li Hao guessed that even if someone colluded with Hongying, they would not deal with him at this time and kill him. This would instead confirm that there was something wrong with the self-immolation case and even cause greater trouble.
"Yue. It’s getting more interesting! ”
Li Hao snorted coldly in his heart, but his face still didn’t show anything, as if he didn’t show any emotion.If any abnormality is detected, continue riding.
And the car he was eyeing quickly disappeared.
……
Silver 7219.
On the car that had just been driving towards Li Hao, at this moment, in addition to a middle-aged male driver, there was also an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman in the passenger seat.
Just like an ordinary middle-aged couple, there is nothing special about them.
"I didn't find anything."
After driving away from Li Hao, there was silence in the car for a while, and the woman whispered.
The driver seemed not to hear it.
After a while, the driver said calmly: "It should be just an accident. He should have been paying attention because of Zhang Yuan's death. Zhang Yuan and he were good friends."
< p>The woman nodded slightly.The car was silent again.
After a while, the driver suddenly said: "I don't rule out other possibilities. Just keep watching, just from a distance. Be careful lately, those annoying guys may be coming to Yincheng."
"Understood!"
The woman nodded again. She knew who the driver was talking about. Those guys were indeed annoying.
There was complete silence in the car.
