”Captain Xu, when you came back, did you discover anyone suspicious?”
Xu Haoqing shook his head, ”Seeing that someone wrote down Luo Mu's corpse, I also realized that it might be him luring the tiger out of its lair. He should still be in the police station, but we checked carefully and did not find anyone suspicious.”
”What about the key you mentioned earlier?”
Xiao Zhang found the key in the washroom and thought that he accidentally dropped it when he was going to the toilet. Now that he thought about it, it was very clear that someone stole his key in advance and gave it to him before leaving his key in the washroom, so he didn't think too much about it when he picked it up.
En, looks like …
”Captain Xu, have you ever thought that there might be spies in the department? Who's Little Zhang? ” I suspect that it was a conspiracy.
Xu Haoqing called over Little Zhang, an old medical examiner in his forties...
The man looked well-behaved, wearing glasses and looking like a scholar. He kept self-reflective, ”Captain Xu, I'm to blame for this matter. I didn't realize the severity of the loss of the key and thought that I accidentally dropped it in the toilet. That's why I didn't report it to you …”
Xu Haoqing swore a few times, but I didn't know if what Little Zhang said was true or not.
After Xu Haoqing sent Xiao Zhang away, he asked me what my impression of Xiao Zhang was.
One couldn't judge a book by its cover. Even though they had only met for a short period of time, who knew if his honesty was an act or if it was real?
I didn't come to a conclusion and Xu Haoqing also knew my concerns. He couldn't possibly judge a person's inner state through such simple contact.
”Captain Xu, who else is suspicious other than Examiner Zhang?”
Xu Haoqing: ”It's hard to say right now. The opponent's skills are much better than that of an ordinary criminal. He snuck into the police station and left such a neat word on Luo Mu's corpse, I really don't understand what he meant. If it's just to warn us that we deserve Luo Mu's death, why take such a big risk?” ”It doesn't make sense. He could have just told us through a note, an email and a text message. There's really no need to come in person, in such a complicated way.
Indeed, I had no idea what the other party was up to.
Was it a demonstration or a provocation? Then why didn't he leave more clues behind? Just these four words didn't seem to be a provocation.
”Captain Xu, let's see if we can find a professional handwriting appraiser or a calligrapher to study those four words. It's really too good to imagine someone being able to sneak into the medical examiner's room and leave after leaving those four words behind in the dark for such a short period of time.” I still feel that the people who wrote the letter and the people you are chasing are not the same person, but they belong to the same faction, maybe it's a 'C' organization, or maybe it's an 'Old Ugly' organization. Sigh, I don't know. ”
Xu Haoqing thought for a moment and said, ”Hmm, what you said makes sense, but I have one thing to point out, the other side might not have been able to complete it in the dark.”
Hmm, what Xu Haoqing said was right. It was possible that he could take advantage of the power outage in the police station and the mysterious figure leaving in a fluster, entering the medical examiner's room and using a flashlight to write ”Serves you right”.
In any case, there might be a mole in the police station.
Perhaps last time when Xu Haoqing cleared out the police team, he didn't clean it up completely. It was also possible that the spies today were not the same group as the ones from before.
The police station could not stay any longer. It was not safe here and they did not know who was the culprit. Someone had cut off the police's power supply, blacklisted their surveillance, made a ruckus in the hall, stole the key to the medical examiner's office and practiced calligraphy on Romu's corpse.
Xu Haoqing was really busy now.
”Shu Jing, you go back first. The station might not be safe. After you go back, be careful. I'll send someone to protect you …”
”Forget it, stop sending people to protect me. I'm worried about your people.”
Hearing Xu Haoqing's words, I suddenly had an idea.
Was Li Fengyun out of touch because he had sensed that there might be a mole in the police force? So he sneaked out of the house and got rid of the cop who was protecting him?
”Captain Xu, who was the policeman who protected Li Fengyun in the shanty district?”
Xu Haoqing: ”That day, the one on duty should be Yuan Kun, the guy with the best skills in the department. The only one who climbed up the high wall at the clinic …”
After that, Xu Haoqing explained that Yuan Kun's full name was Zhou Yuankun. He had been in the station for more than two years, and his performance was pretty good. Every time he came out in the field, he would always be at the forefront.
Zhou Yuankun, the best policeman, Li Fengyun got rid of Zhou Yuankun, who was sent to protect him by the police.
Xu Haoqing understood what I meant, nodded and said, ”I know, in order to not alert the enemy, I will first send people to keep an eye on Yuan Kun. Speaking of which, this brat is quite smart.
That, of course, referred to the incident where someone was causing a ruckus in the police station and writing on Romu's corpse.
”Captain Xu, when you were chasing that black shadow, where was Zhou Yuankun? He was very skilled, so why couldn't he stop the black shadow?”
”Coincidentally, not long before the power was cut off, he called the police. It's a saber-wielding robbery.”
”Where is he now?”
”Before you came, he caught the suspect and just came back. He even asked us how we were going to make things difficult for the department.”
I nodded my head to show that I understood. The robbery with blades had happened too timely.
Zhou Yuankun could have taken advantage of the so-called ”armed robbery” and pretended to go back to the police station to cut off the power supply, causing panic. He could then rely on his agility to lure the tiger out of the mountain, giving his other companions who were hiding in the department time to rush to the medical examiner's office to practice calligraphy on Luo Mu.
