Luo Chu looked furious and started talking.
"In the so-called sensitive stage, I completely cannot accept this statement. Just based on the words of a charlatan, do you think I am suspicious? Is it possible that I, Luo Teng, have been in the special department for twenty years, and my loyalty and trust are not as good as that of a bad person?
Do you know where the charlatan appeared from?"
"I seriously doubt that the so-called ancient magic circle is simply a lie made up by some people. These evil spirits and murderous ghosts are most likely his sorcery!"
"We in this business all talk about evidence and motives. If I am suspected, what is my motive for murdering Director Gao? What is my motive for murdering his subordinates? Besides, this evil guy just committed the murder in front of everyone.
, do you think someone like me, Luo, has this method?"
"He is different. He has every reason to pretend and he has more than enough motives. What is his motive? Money!"
"The so-called ancient magic circle in Yunshan Times Square is probably a lie. The purpose of making up this lie is to defraud the appearance fee. Let us in the Action Bureau be willing to pay him."
"His motive for letting ghosts commit crimes is even more clear. It is nothing more than creating panic and threatening us to pay him extra rewards. His previous talk of 30 million ghost-killing rewards has fully proven this. All of this is very clear.
It may be that he directed and performed the trick himself, just to defraud money!"
Jiang Yue couldn't lift the lid, but Luo Teng could.
He is fearless and naturally holds nothing back.
Although Luo Teng didn't doubt that Jiang Yue had told him the whole story before, he was still a little confused.
Now through his secret observation, he saw various abnormal behaviors of Chief Yan.
He was already convinced that this Chief Yan was absolutely innocent.
There must be some ulterior motives between him and this magician.
His fierce resistance was not a deliberate attempt to test Commander Yan.
Sure enough, Commander Yan's face turned very ugly.
"presumptuous!"
Chief Yan was so angry that he looked like pig liver, "You Luo Teng, do you still have any sense of organization and discipline? Now that I suspend you pending investigation, do you think I am harming you? This is to protect you!"
"As for your suggestion that Master Liu is suspicious, of course we will take it into consideration. Master Liu, you also need to go back with us and accept the investigation."
Master Liu shrugged: "I have no objection."
Luo Teng still refused to give up: "Wait! This matter must not be evaded like this. What he said about the ancient magic circle and the ten deadly places. Where is the evidence? He said that he destroyed the foundation of the ancient magic circle and consumed it.
There are a lot of spiritual things. Where is the evidence? Something as profound as the ancient magic circle cannot have no trace at all, right? Without evidence, it is just empty talk!"
Master Liu said coldly: "What do you think the ancient magic circle is? A zebra crossing, a traffic line on the road? Can something that can be seen by the naked eye be called an ancient magic circle? Can it capture hundreds of people out of thin air? Chief Yan
, I have to say one more thing, your operations bureau needs to change its mindset. If people like this are in your position, your operations bureau cannot guarantee the safety of the people of Star City."
I have to say that this guy's eloquence is really good. He is especially good at knocking people down.
After this phone call, he not only raised his profile, but also squeezed Luo Chu.
"Who doesn't know how to play tricks?" Luo Teng sneered, "Master Liu, since you said it was an ancient magic circle, I think this is man-made manipulation. How about we take a gamble?"
"Haha, let's take a gamble? Are you worthy?" Master Liu actually refused to accept Luo Teng's provocation.
"Sir Yan, I suspect that those hundreds of people have not left Yunshan Times Square at all, so I applied to conduct a blanket search of the entire mall."
Chief Yan was displeased: "Luo Teng, how long are you going to make a fuss? Knowing that the mall is inhabited by ferocious ghosts, and now launching a carpet search, how many lives can our operations bureau have to fill it in?"
Luo Teng seemed to have expected what Chief Yan would say.
He said hurriedly: "If the commander is afraid of damaging the manpower, our Operations Division 3 is willing to accept this task."
"Isn't Operations Division 3 a member of our Operations Bureau?" Chief Yan said coldly.
"Report to Chief Yan, Han Yiming, deputy director of Operations Division Three, to request a fight."
In the distance, Lao Han was leading a few people, followed by Three Dogs. Everyone was carrying a piece of equipment and walked forward quickly.
"Han Yiming?" Chief Yan glanced at him and suppressed his anger.
He knew this Han Yiming. His family was a powerful family in Star City, and his brother was a giant figure in Star City politics.
Even Chief Yan doesn't want to offend such a family.
"Are you three operations departments so undisciplined from top to bottom? Why, I, the first deputy director of Star City of the Bureau of Supernatural Operations, can no longer command your three operations departments?"
"Chief Yan, look at what you said. We can't be blamed. Which of our three operations did we not obey the orders of our superiors? In this operation, our three offices had obvious evidence, but Chief Yan refused to do so.
It’s hard to convince people that we are operating in three offices. Even if I, Luo Teng, am suspended pending investigation, it doesn’t mean that the entire three offices are suspended pending investigation!”
"Sir, doesn't he always emphasize that an individual is an individual and the whole is a whole? My personal suspension, Luo Teng, will not affect the actions of the three offices!"
"Besides, our three offices don't have any excessive demands. Use life detectors to search the shopping mall to see if those hundreds of people are being held in dark places. It's obviously public-spirited. If our action bureau doesn't
To put the life and death of the people first is to forget the original intention. Without the original intention, what else is there to do? It is better to disband as soon as possible and go back to live in retirement."
Several other Directors of Operations were speechless.
I know you, Lao Luo, dare to speak, but you are too brave to speak.
This is a rhythm that will offend Chief Yan to death!
Chief Yan's face turned into an eggplant.
"Well, you Luo Teng, you have no superiors, no discipline, and openly contradict your superiors." Commander Yan's secretary scolded him.
Chief Yan said with a dark face: "The fifth branch has taken over the case, and the other operations branches have to withdraw their teams! Martial law continues in Yunshan Times Square!"
This is the final tone set by Chief Yan.
Even though Luo Teng was extremely unwilling, he could not openly disobey orders.
Sangou was also extremely depressed, but Jiang Yue was not surprised at all by this scene.
It would be weird if Chief Yan allowed you to investigate.
It was obvious that Chief Yan asked the other departments to close their ranks and let the Fifth Branch continue to take over. His intention to cover the situation was almost unconcealed.
If it were to be hard-topped, it would be tantamount to completely falling out with the Star City Supernatural Operations Bureau, or even completely falling out with the entire officialdom.
Jiang Yue is not so irrational.
Just as they were considering countermeasures, several people from the Operations Bureau came over and said, "You two are also at the scene today. Someone has accused you of being replicators. Please cooperate with us in the investigation."
When Sangou gets angry, he will fall out.
Jiang Yue stopped him.
"Cooperation is no problem, but how do you plan for us to cooperate?"
"You only need to accept and cooperate, and there is no need to worry about anything else. The procedures for all our actions will be reasonable and legal."
Just as Jiang Yue was about to speak, Han Yiming winked at him, telling him not to worry.
The base of the Star City Supernatural Operations Bureau is actually in the same area as Luo Chu and the others, but each has its own territory.
Back at the bureau, Jiang Yue and Sangou were placed in two different places.
Jiang Yue was in the empty room, and half a day passed in a flash.
It's already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
There was no lunch, and no one came to ask him to be investigated.
It's like being forgotten here.
Jiang Yue knew very well that this must be Commander Yan's idea, to deliberately keep them in the dark and give them power.
The more the other party behaves like this, the more it proves that he is guilty.
After another two hours, I finally heard footsteps.
Lao Han was led by two people and walked to Jiang Yue's house.
He came to bring food to Jiang Yue.
"Old Han, I'm just here to be investigated, not a prisoner. What's going on with the Action Bureau now? Is it a summons or house arrest?"
"If it is a summons, where are the relevant procedures? If it is house arrest, this is illegal!"
Old Han hurriedly reassured: "Xiao Jiang, I have wronged you. Don't worry about this. I just asked you to assist in the investigation. As long as it is proven that you are not a replicator in disguise, you can leave soon."
"The problem is, I've been here for a long time, and no one has asked a question. Is this the official power of your Chief Yan? What a powerful official power!"
The two people accompanying him were obviously not people from Operation Three, but people who were looking after Jiang Yue.
I heard Jiang Yue speak rudely to Chief Yan.
He sneered and said: "Young man, it's fun to talk quickly for a while, but in the end it's you who will be unlucky. Let's go, now I ask you to accept the investigation."
Jiang Yue stared at the other party coldly: "Where are you from? Are you on errands for the Operations Bureau, or are you a private soldier of Chief Yan?"
"You don't have to worry about this, let's go!" The other party was obviously not very polite to Jiang Yue.
Han Yiming said calmly: "Xiao Jiang is a friend of our three offices. Your investigation is an investigation. It's best not to mess up the procedures. Otherwise, this matter will never be finished."
The two people obviously knew where Han Yiming was, so they just sneered and didn't say anything.
Investigating whether it is a copycat is actually not complicated.
The replicator can pretend to be a person, but it only copies a person's genes, appearance, etc., but cannot copy the memory.
It is generally accepted that there are many captives of replicators at present.
Therefore, after a nit-picking inspection, we could not find any breakthroughs in Jiang Yue and San Gou, nor could we find any evidence of replicators.
No matter how reluctant you are, you still have to let him go.
Jiang Yue was angry and left with Lao Han.
"Where's Luo Chu?"
"He is the director of Operations Division Three, and the procedures are much more complicated than yours. Chief Yan seems to be deliberately trying to manipulate him. I'm afraid Luo Chu won't be able to resume work for a while."
Jiang Yue sneered.
Sure enough, Commander Yan is going to cover his head.
Operations Division One and Division Two obviously did not want to wade into troubled waters or get involved in this matter.
The only thorny factor is the Operations Division Three. Chief Yan suspended the director of the Operations Division Three. Without the smuggler, it will be difficult for the Operations Division Three to operate.
In this way, there is a real possibility that the lid of Yunshan Times Square will be covered.
At that time, how to decide the case is not a matter of their words?
Not only can the case be closed, but appearance fees and ghost-killing rewards can also be cashed out.
Sure enough, as a senior official, you can do whatever you want.
"Old Han, have you arranged all the things Luo Chu told you this morning?"
In the morning, when Jiang Yue and the others came out of Yunshan Times Square for the first time, Luo Chu muttered to Lao Han for a while and explained a few things.
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged."
Returning to the base of the third place, Lao Han immediately called up the surveillance camera and showed Jiang Yue one by one.
"Xiao Jiang, if this is a man-made hijacking and hundreds of people want to move, the surveillance outside the mall has not been damaged and can definitely be monitored."
"But all peripheral surveillance shows that until this morning, no suspicious vehicles came out of the mall."
Jiang Yue nodded: "Old Han, the enemy we face is much stronger and more terrifying than you think. I'm thinking that the surveillance in the mall has obviously been manually processed, why does the surveillance on the periphery seem to be fine?
?Is it because they don’t have the ability to destroy peripheral surveillance? I can’t see it! I even suspect that they deliberately kept it for us to see.”
"deliberately?"
"Yes! Let everyone form a concept that the missing person did not come out of the mall. Only in this way can we guide everyone's thoughts towards the strange incident."
Lao Han currently doesn't know much about the situation in the mall.
Therefore, he was doubtful about Jiang Yue's judgment.
"Old Han, do you know why Luo Chu was so determined to contradict Chief Yan today?"
This is something that Lao Han has always puzzled over.
During this day, he had no time to contact Luo Chu, nor did he have the opportunity to ask Jiang Yue in detail. When he entered for the second time in the morning, he stayed with Sangou, but there were other people present all the time. He only said a few words and said
It's not very clear.
"Yunshan Times Square is neither an ancient magic circle nor a place of death. There is a terrible force involved behind this situation, and it is this force that holds people in the mall hostage. What is their motive? I am not sure yet.
It's clear. But based on the situation I know so far, whether it's Chief Yan or Director Gao, they have been controlled by that force, and they are part of the entire bureau."
"Luo Chuming knew this was a minefield, and I made the stakes clear to him. Once he got involved, he would probably be blown to pieces."
Old Han sighed.
Smart people don't need to speak too clearly.
Luo Chu's performance has proven the choice he made.
Now, it seems that it is Lao Han's turn to make a choice.
It is no exaggeration to say that a force that even Commander Yan is controlled and cannot control is a minefield. It is no exaggeration to say that he is shattered to pieces accidentally.
"So, Lao Han, if you protect yourself wisely, no one will blame you."
Old Han was silent.
Will Mingzhe protect himself?
At his age, with a family and a prominent family behind him, if he continues to work in the police force, he will definitely reach the position he wants at a certain stage.
But he chose to join the special department.
Could it be that he joined the special department just because he had a hot idea and was impressed by Luo Chu's personal charm?
Everyone has original intention.
Lao Han is no exception.
Isn't it just that joining the special department is because doing business here is more enjoyable and simpler, and can better demonstrate your passion and talent? Don't you need to be involved in so many constraints?
Could it be that we have stopped moving forward because there has been some resistance?
If this is the case, why did you leave the police force and join the special department in the first place?
Go to the fucking minefield, go to the fucking minefield and smash your body to pieces!
There was a sense of injustice in Lao Han's chest that kept rolling and surging.
Done!
"Xiao Jiang, according to your statement, these hundreds of people were held hostage. Since they have not been transferred, they are most likely in the mall, so Luo Chu wants me to prepare a life detector?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yue nodded and continued: "But for such a simple proposal, Chief Yan refused decisively. Don't you think it's abnormal?"
It is indeed unreasonable.
For a weird case like this, there will be many plans. The various plans are advanced at the same time without conflict. As long as there are clues, they can be followed up.
However, their very reasonable plan was rejected by Chief Yan.
Old Han nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that hundreds of people are really being held hostage in the mall?"
"So, Luo Chu asked me to keep an eye on the monitoring of the peripheral area and the monitoring within a few kilometers of the surrounding area? Is he worried that there will be other channels to transfer people away?"
"Judging from Chief Yan's reaction, most of the hundreds of people were still in the mall at that time. And most of them were under guard. This is why Luo Chu and I chose to leave the mall instead of acting privately."
Imprisoning hundreds of people involves such terrible forces, so the vigilance of the forces will definitely not be bad.
With the strength of Jiang Yue and Luo Chu at that time, if they really wanted to find someone, they would most likely have food delivered to their doorstep, and they would most likely be involved.
That's why Luo Chu applied for public action.
It's a pity that Chief Yan's butt was obviously tilted and he didn't give Luo Chu this chance at all. He forcibly suppressed Luo Chu's reasonable request.
Of course, it is not that easy to transfer hundreds of people.
I don’t know how many eyes are staring at the major exits of the shopping mall. It’s obviously impossible.
The only way to leave is through other secret passages.
In shopping mall buildings, the exits are usually designed in advance. It is not impossible to open other passages to leave. It is very difficult and the project will be huge.
If you want to do it silently, I'm afraid it's not realistic.
However, this does not mean that there is no solution at all.
There is also a ready-made channel to choose from.
Lao Han switched to the computer interface: "According to Luo Chu's arrangement in the morning, I found the planning map of Star City's drainage system and focused on analyzing the situation around Yunshan Times Square."
"If they really choose to leave through the underground drainage channel, the most suitable transfer points are these places. You see..."
"The scenic parking lot is 1.5 kilometers away from Yunshan Times Square. This parking lot is very large, but the disadvantage is that there is no cover around it, and large-scale relocation operations can be easily exposed. There is also a bus terminal 2.8 kilometers away in a straight line, and there are many large vehicles here.
, and there are walls around it; look here again, this is a logistics transfer area, there are many large vehicles, and the straight-line distance is within 3 kilometers. Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious. There are people in the logistics transfer area 24 hours a day, so it is difficult to avoid it.
Eyes and ears.”
"Currently, if the diameter of the activity is too large beyond 3 kilometers, it will be difficult for our monitoring to cover it in real time."
Lao Han gave a general introduction to the situation.
