Chapter 1092 (2/2)
Port Supervision Department, inspection action division.
Xie Hongbo glanced at the darkened mobile phone screen, picked up the cup and drank.
”If you dare not answer Mr. Li's phone, I'm afraid you can't find a few people in the whole port.” Xie Hongbo said low, with a subtle expression of laughter on his face.
”Thank you.” one of his men ran into the office. ”Joe's here.”
”Oh.” Xie Hongbo answered, got up and walked to the door. He leaned his body gently against the door, held his arms in front of his chest, and stared sharply into the depths of the corridor.
All the other staff of the Port Supervision Office crowded to the door of their offices and stood there quietly without saying a word.
Clear footsteps sounded in the corridor. Qiao Xue came quickly and came to Xie Hongbo in the eyes of everyone.
She raised her head, stared at Xie Hongbo's eyes, lowered her voice and asked, ”what's the matter?”
Xie Hongbo's eyes jumped from Qiao Xue and looked at the others in the corridor. In just a moment, there were coughs everywhere. People dispersed one after another and began a busy day.
”Didn't anyone tell you?” Xie Hongbo asked meaningfully, rubbing his chin with his hand.
”No, I didn't take the initiative to ask,” said Qiao Xue. ”Tell me, what's going on?”
”Er...” Xie Hongbo turned and walked into the office. ”If you ask me that, I'm really a little embarrassed.”
Qiao Xue blinked and followed Xie Hongbo into the office: ”where is director Zhou?”
”Do you want to see him?”
”Is he under house arrest?”
Xie Hongbo pulled at the corner of his mouth: ”Sergeant Qiao, you think I have three heads and six arms? It's a pity that you can think of the director of the port supervision department!”
”Where is he?”
”You come with me.” Xie Hongbo turned around, bypassed Qiao Xue and went out.
Qiao Xue followed Xie Hongbo closely. They walked all the way through the long corridor, across the overpass to the experimental building, and then took the elevator to the third floor underground.
”Where are you taking me?” asked Qiao Xue coldly.
”What do you think?” Xie Hongbo asked. When the elevator reached the third floor underground, he took the lead to go out.
He walked forward for more than ten meters and suddenly stopped. Turning around and looking behind him, Qiao Xue still stayed in the elevator and didn't follow out.
”Don't you want to see director Zhou?” Xie Hongbo asked coldly.
Qiao Xue supported the elevator with one hand, and her delicate body couldn't stop shaking. She had thought of the most impractical possibility, because the third basement of the experimental building was the morgue.
The elevator door was about to close. Qiao Xue suddenly stretched out her hand to block it. Her eyes stared at Xie Hongbo coldly: ”tell me, is he dead?”
”Yes.” Xie Hongbo nodded. ”Director Zhou was stabbed to death in his office around 11 o'clock last night.”
”Nonsense!” Qiao Xue drank coldly, ”I talked to him at 10:30 last night!”
”I know that.” Xie Hongbo continued to nod without any change in his face. ”We checked the call records. Less than an hour later, director Zhou was assassinated. A crossbow and arrow penetrated his heart at close range. So far, no clue about the murderer has been found.”
Staring at Qiao Xue's dull expression, Xie Hongbo pointed to the white metal door at the end of the corridor: ”don't you plan to have a look?”
Qiao Xue gently nodded her head and took a step. But then there was a soft under her feet and she fell directly to the ground.
For Qiao Xue, the news was too shocking and incredible. When she went out this morning, she noticed something unusual. Along the way, she considered thousands of possibilities, including the attack on the inspector's office and Zhou Wenhao's house arrest, but she didn't expect Zhou Wenhao to be assassinated.
The assassination and death of one of the chief inspector's office directors is enough to frighten Hong Kong if the news is released. Its level is far better than that of the three companies that killed Chen in that year. It can be called the unprecedented thing in a century!
Xie Hongbo took two steps forward, bent slightly and stretched out a hand to Qiao Xue.
She clenched her teeth tightly, and joss did not receive Xie Hongbo's affection at all. Her jade hand supported the ground and forced her body to climb up. Her voice had completely changed its tone: ”take me.”
”OK.” Xie Hongbo withdrew his hand, turned and continued to walk forward.
Qiao Xue followed behind Xie Hongbo rigidly, but a short corridor seemed to have walked for a whole century.
”Things are very troublesome. Now the news is still under secret blockade. The insiders are controlled inside the inspector's office and will not release them until they are instructed by the superior.” Xie Hongbo walked to the door, lowered his voice and said, ”anyway, this is our most difficult period. I hope you can exercise restraint.”
Qiao Xue's eyes didn't blink, as if she didn't listen to Xie Hongbo's words at all.
