The rolling head, the sputtering blood, the thin body sitting in the wheelchair that is getting colder and colder.
This scene is not an illusion, but is actually happening before our eyes.
Yang Jian killed Wang Xiaoming with his own hands just one day after becoming the law enforcement captain.
Although Wang Xiaoming attacked Yang Jian, everyone knew that as an ordinary person and a weak patient, how could he kill a top ghost controller in the supernatural circle with an ordinary pistol.
Those seven gunshots were not an attack at all, but more like a signal.
At this moment, Shen Liang was confused when he looked at Wang Xiaoming's body, and he didn't know what to do.
Wang Xiaoming's status in the headquarters is too high. He studies supernatural events, creates supernatural props, and helps many ghost controllers solve the problem of the resurrection of evil ghosts.
It can be said that many people in charge of various cities now survive because of Wang Xiaoming.
Once Wang Xiaoming dies, the survival of many people in charge will be affected, and the hope of some people's survival will be extinguished. There is no certainty that something will happen by then.
Although Wang Xiaoming is suffering from cancer, the headquarters has many ways to treat him. As long as the persuasion is passed, Wang Xiaoming will soon return to health, and he will never be allowed to die of illness like this.
But now, everything is meaningless.
Because he is already dead.
"Yang Jian, Professor Wang must not die. You must think of a way to save him. There is still room for change in this matter."
Shen Liang's chaotic head regained some clarity. At this moment, he grabbed Yang Jian's arm and begged urgently.
Even though Wang Xiaoming's head has fallen off now, he believes that if Yang Jian is really willing to take action, he can definitely revive him with supernatural power.
Because he has read Yang Jian's information files, he has made dead people reappear in the world more than once.
"I killed him with my own hands, why should I save him?"
Yang Jian said expressionlessly, and then glanced at Shen Liang coldly: "If Wang Xiaoming doesn't die, how should we deal with the incident where he shot and attacked me just now? Or is my title of law enforcement captain just a false name? In reality I have no right at all. If this is the case, you just ask Cao Yanhua to remove me from my position. I will resurrect him immediately, but it has to be quick. If he dies for too long, there is nothing I can do."
He gave Shen Liang room to choose, and at the same time he also wanted to see the attitude of the headquarters.
And this is also the result Wang Xiaoming wants.
During his lifetime, he liked to measure everything by value, and now the headquarters has to make the final measurement between Wang Xiaoming and Yang Jian.
Should we firmly protect Wang Xiaoming and remove Yang Jian's law enforcement captain, or should we admit Wang Xiaoming's death and not pursue any further investigation, thus completely establishing Yang Jian's authority.
"I will contact the minister now."
Shen Liang was a little excited at the moment. He was very calm inside and hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.
The headquarters seemed to have been prepared for it, and the call was quickly connected.
"Minister, something big happened. Professor Wang is dead. He was killed by Yang Jian just now."
Shen Liang spoke a little hastily and quickly told what happened here.
now.
In the conference room of the headquarters.
Cao Yanhua was sitting alone on a chair, smoking a cigarette. The ashtray on the table in front of him was already filled with cigarette butts.
Hearing Shen Liang's words on the phone, Cao Yanhua was unusually calm. He just frowned, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and then stuffed most of the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
"I understand, so what was Yang Jian's reason for killing Professor Wang?"
Shen Liang on the other side of the phone was stunned. It seemed that the minister's calm attitude was beyond his expectation, but he quickly reacted and said: "Professor Wang suddenly took out a pistol and attacked Yang Jian. Professor Wang was killed for assaulting the law enforcement captain."
"Is it the crime of assaulting the law enforcement captain? Okay, I understand, this matter has been settled." Cao Yanhua said.
Shen Liang said hurriedly: "But Minister, Yang Jian just said that Professor Wang died not long ago. If you act fast enough, you may be able to save him..."
"enough."
Cao Yanhua's calm voice suddenly turned violent.
"I said this matter has been settled. You want the headquarters to put pressure on Yang Jian to rescue Professor Wang. Do you know the consequences of this matter? The headquarters can do without Professor Wang, and it absolutely cannot do without Yang. Jian, and please remember Yang Jian's identity now. He is the law enforcement captain. Everyone at the headquarters, including me, has the right to deal with it as long as he makes a mistake."
"In addition, you protected Professor Wang and it was unfavorable. Please write me a resignation report later. I don't want this to happen again in the future."
After speaking, Cao Yanhua slapped his cell phone on the conference table and hung up the phone.
When he heard the phone was hung up, Shen Liang's expression changed uncertainly, and his mind was racing with thoughts.
There are only two thoughts in his mind at the moment: Professor Wang is dead, Cao Yanhua will not pursue Yang Jian, and he was fired from the headquarters for protecting Professor Wang.
"How could this happen?" Shen Liang was still filled with disbelief.
He did not expect that the attitude of the headquarters would change drastically in a short period of time.
"Shen Liang, tell me, what did Cao Yanhua say?" Yang Jian asked from the side.
"There will be no prosecution."
Shen Liang's face was very ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said these words.
Yang Jian smiled, his smile was very cold: "It seems that the headquarters has made a choice a long time ago. In that case, let Wang Xiaoming rest in peace. He is already very tired. Dragging him back to hell is actually doing him a disservice. of cruelty."
After saying that, he put away the spear in his hand, glanced at the falling head, and then turned and left.
On the ground.
There is a smile on Wang Xiaoming's cold face. This smile is relief and peace.
After all, he must have made his choice long ago when he met Yang Jian here.
Everything went as he wished.
And as this matter comes to an end.
Soon, the news that Wang Xiaoming was killed by Yang Jian spread throughout the headquarters.
This is a big earthquake.
The first to receive the news were the captains at the headquarters. They had great authority and had some of their own people at the headquarters, so they could get first-hand information.
Only less than half an hour passed.
boom!
There was a loud door opening.
The door to the conference room at the headquarters was kicked open violently.
Immediately.
Gloomy, shrouded in green fire, Li Jun came with a gloomy face and A Hong in a menacing manner.
"Minister, I heard that Yang Jian killed Professor Wang half an hour ago. Is this true?"
Cao Yanhua was still sitting there frowning and smoking. There was smoke around him, and the air was filled with a thick smell of smoke. When he saw Li Jun coming, he didn't feel strange, but calmly nodded and said: "Yes, Wang The professor attacked Yang Jian and was killed by Yang Jian in public. This matter is over. Since you already know, why do you come to ask me in person? "
"I want to know the inside story."
Li Jun said: "Professor Wang is a patient with cancer. It is absolutely impossible for him to attack Yang Jian. And even if he attacks Yang Jian, he cannot hurt Yang Jian at all with his ability. Why would Yang Jian be so cruel?" Kill Professor Wang?"
"Professor Wang definitely didn't die for no reason. I believe there must be some reason. This matter is of great importance and we hope to know the truth." A Hong on the side also said.
Cao Yanhua moved his lips and wanted to speak, but found that his throat was very dry and hoarse, so he picked up the teacup on the side and prepared to take a sip.
But at this moment, darkness suddenly shrouded the corner, and a person came out of the darkness. This person had a strange hemp rope hanging around his waist. His face was black, his expression was numb, and his eyes were empty, like a man. A walking corpse makes people feel frightened.
This person just shows up.
The eerie firelight reflected around them began to dissipate, and everything calmed down until half of the conference room was shrouded in darkness.
"Wei Jing, are you here also about Professor Wang?" Cao Yanhua stared at him.
Wei Jing was really like a dead corpse without emotion, and his voice was hoarse and weird: "Yes, I also want to know the reason for all this. Yang Jian will not kill Professor Wang for no reason, and Professor Wang will not kill him for no reason. An unprovoked attack on Yang Jian, but such an unreasonable thing really happened."
"So I need an explanation."
Cao Yanhua was silent for a moment, and then said: "Professor Wang avenged his dead brother Wang Xiaoqiang. He first shot and attacked Yang Jian, and then was killed by Yang Jian. It is reasonable and legal. This is the explanation."
"This reason cannot convince me." Li Jun said seriously.
"I can't convince you? Then what do you want to do? Go to Yang Jian to cause trouble, or arrest me, the deputy minister, for torture? Li Jun, remember your responsibility." Cao Yanhua slammed the table and shouted.
Li Jun was silent at this moment.
At the same time, a cold wind blew in the conference room for no reason.
The cigarette ashes on the table were blown everywhere, and his vision was blurred.
But the next moment.
The strong wind subsided, but a young man in his early twenties suddenly sat on the chair next to Cao Yanhua.
"Cao Yang?"
Wei Jing turned his head numbly and looked at him.
Cao Yang grinned: "Don't you understand such a simple truth? As long as Wang Xiaoming dies, you people will look to Wang Xiaoming. Not just you, many responsible people also look to Wang Xiaoming, expecting him to solve the problem of the evil ghost's resurrection. The problem is, so sometimes Wang Xiaoming’s words are even more effective than those from the headquarters, and Wang Xiaoming is just an ordinary person, unable to restrain the captain, let alone deal with supernatural events.”
"So this situation has caused other people to be unconvinced. Look, how many people rejected this captain's meeting? Besides the two of you who responded, who else is willing to come and support."
"Wang Xiaoming has been praised too highly by you. If he wants to step down, he has only one way, and that is to die. Only when he dies will everything end and new talkers can come forward to take the stand."
"The person the headquarters now needs is Yang Jian. Only he can convince everyone, and only he can hold a captain meeting."
"So it's not that there was any inside story behind Wang Xiaoming's death, it's that the times can no longer accommodate him and it's time for him to exit."
"Is this explanation enough?"
After speaking, he looked at Wei Jing and Li Jun again.
Cao Yanhua was slightly relieved when he saw Cao Yang suddenly appearing. He was afraid that Li Jun and Wei Jing would do something outrageous on impulse because of Wang Xiaoming's incident.
"Pah! Pah!"
Applause sounded, and at this moment the door of the conference room was opened again, and a man with sallow complexion and bright colors, who looked like a paper man, slowly walked in.
Liu San?
Everyone looked at him.
"That's right. A headquarters should look like a headquarters. Minister Cao can manage things, but he can't control people. Wang Xiaoming can manage people, but he can't control everyone, so the person who manages people has to be replaced. The position of law enforcement captain is
The boss in charge of people, Yang Jian, can control everyone, so he should come to power."
Liu San appeared, he rushed to the headquarters, and it seemed that he came in time and saw a good show.
"The transition of power does not have to involve death." Li Jun stared at Liu Sandao.
"But the establishment of authority requires death. Killing Wang Xiaoming to establish authority will shock the supernatural world. Who dares to ignore the law enforcement captain Yang Jian in the future?"
Liu San smiled: "Li Jun, don't feel sorry for Wang Xiaoming. I dare say that Wang Xiaoming's death today was arranged by himself a long time ago. Otherwise, why would this matter happen before the captain meeting?"
"I know you have a close relationship with Wang Xiaoming, but if you respect his choice, you should fulfill your duties as captain instead of making trouble here. But fortunately, you have the sense to come to Cao Yanhua instead of Yang Jian
, otherwise, Yang Jian really wouldn’t mind killing another captain to establish his authority.”
Li Jun was silent again, because Liu San was right in saying that everything was Professor Wang's own choice.
He didn't want to die and would never be killed by Yang Jian.
Wei Jing also stood there numbly, not talking anymore, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Okay, don't say a few words. The captain's meeting will be held at 1:30 in the afternoon. I hope everyone can calm down before then. If there is anything, you can talk about it at the meeting." Cao Yanhua stood up at this moment and said.
"Okay, I will ask Yang Jian during the meeting." Li Jun said.
Although he understood what Wang Xiaoming did, he couldn't accept the fact that Yang Jian personally killed Wang Xiaoming.
How did Yang Jian, a man who devoted everything to supernatural events, do this?
That was an ordinary person who was suffering from serious illness and was about to die.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, there was another knock on the door outside the conference room.
"Who is it?" Cao Yanhua shouted.
The door of the conference room was pushed open again, and a slender, handsome and elegant man wearing a suit and glasses walked in with a smile: "Sorry, it's me, Wang Chaling. I didn't disturb you. May I ask about the meeting?"
Have you started? I shouldn't be late. I'm really sorry. There's a traffic jam on the way to the headquarters."
"A very unfamiliar captain." Liu San looked at this man slightly.
Not only did he feel unfamiliar, Wei Jing, Cao Yang, and Li Jun also felt unfamiliar, because Wang Chaling had never officially appeared at the headquarters from beginning to end.
"Wang Chaling? It's you. I didn't expect you to arrive at the headquarters so quickly."
Cao Yanhua said: "I made a mistake in my work. The meeting has not started yet. There was just a small dispute. The real meeting time is set at 1:30 in the afternoon. The news will be notified soon."
"It's okay. After all, this is my first time coming to the headquarters to attend a meeting, so I want to meet all my colleagues as soon as possible to enhance our relationship. Let me introduce myself. I, Wang Chaling, are the captain and person in charge of Dadong City. I'd like to invite you all in the future.
care."
Wang Chaling adjusted his glasses and said with a smile.
"The person in charge of Dajin City, Cao Yang, I have heard of you. You are a master's degree student who has returned from studying abroad and is a truly top student." Cao Yang spread his hands and said.
"You're welcome, I just studied abroad for a few years and it's not worth mentioning." Wang Chaling said modestly.
"Liu San, the person in charge of DQ City."
Liu San also said hello: "This should be our first meeting. I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"I hope so," Wang Chaling nodded.
"Li Jun, one of the people in charge of the headquarters." Li Jun walked over wearing sunglasses and extended his hand.
Wang Chaling hesitated for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand: "Thanks to your help for what happened at my old house last time, have you found Chen Qiaoyang? If there is anything you need help with, don't be polite."
"Chen Qiaoyang hasn't been found yet. I'll let you know if there are clues." Li Jun said.
"Wei Jing, one of the people in charge of the headquarters."
Wei Jing, the corpse-like ghost, nodded towards Wang Chaling.
With the arrival of Wang Chaling, the topic changed and the originally solemn atmosphere eased.
Everyone started to communicate with each other and get to know each other as normal.
The issues caused by Wang Xiaoming's death have been put aside for the time being and are planned to be discussed at the team captains' meeting.
"Hey, is there anyone? Who parked the car outside? Someone left something inside. It's a wallet with a family photo on it."
Suddenly, a sudden voice sounded outside the conference room.
Wang Chaling's smile faded at this time and he touched his suit pocket, but his wallet was gone.
He remembered clearly that his wallet, which was still on him just now, had not been left in the car at all.
"Hey, this family portrait is haunted. The grandparents on it are staring at me. Damn, it's dangerous."
As the door of the conference room opened, a figure flashed in, and then a wallet was thrown out. In the wallet's mezzanine was a half-taken out family photo. There was an old man and a middle-aged couple on the family photo.
And a young man, but at this moment, the old man in the photo turned his head strangely and looked in one direction.
"Zhou Deng, what are you doing?" Cao Yanhua slammed the table and shouted.
"No, I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything." Zhou Deng looked around, never looking at Cao Yanhua.
Wang Chaling was still smiling. He walked over and picked up the wallet that had fallen on the ground. He stuffed the photo into the compartment of the wallet as if nothing was wrong, and then put it into his pocket.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for helping me pick up my wallet. I'll treat you to tea later."
"You're welcome, that's too polite."
Zhou Deng chuckled and said: "It's just a small thing, not worth mentioning. I am still a very friendly person. I will definitely return the things I pick up."
Pick it up?
You are stealing it.
Wang Chaling smiled, knowing it but didn't point it out.
"Zhou Deng, this is the captain's meeting. What are you doing as a captain candidate? Go back to your room and have a good rest."
Cao Yanhua said: "Don't cause trouble and be honest."
"I know, I know, Minister, I'm going back to my room to rest. Excuse me, everyone, excuse me."
Zhou Deng said hello and left in a hurry.
But as soon as the door opened, a strange person walked in.
"Who are you?" Zhou Deng looked at this person without any impression.
"Hey, Minister, here's someone I don't know. Is he also the captain?"
At this time, when everyone looked at it, their expressions suddenly changed.
The person who came here was indeed very strange and had no impression of him, but he exuded a cold and strange aura. He was undoubtedly a top ghost controller.
Immediately, Wei Jing took a step forward expressionlessly, becoming alert.
"I am Li Leping, I am listed in the file." The strange man who came here said slowly.
Li Leping?
Suddenly, a familiar captain's name appeared in everyone's minds.
That was a captain in the archives. I had heard his name and seen his information, but I had never seen him in person.
"A captain who can't remember his appearance, Li Leping?" Wang Chaling asked.
"Um."
Li Leping responded softly.
"What an incredible supernatural power." Wei Jing lowered his guard and said numbly.
"Since you can't remember your appearance, who can be sure that you are Li Leping?" Cao Yang said with a smile.
Li Leping said: "I don't want to answer this question every time. It seems that the meeting has not started yet and Yang Jian has not arrived yet. In that case, I will go back to the room to rest. You will let me know when the meeting starts."
He didn't stay any longer but turned around and left again.
"It's so indifferent." Liu San sighed.
"A person who cannot be remembered is destined to be lonely and unsociable, which is understandable." Cao Yang said.
Cao Yanhua started to feel a headache at this moment.
Sure enough, after the captain assembled, it was useless no matter how hard he pounded the table. He couldn't control these people at all. There was no difference between talking and farting.
It seems that inviting Yang Jian is quite right.
They couldn't ignore Yang Jian's words alone.
As for ordinary people, they have no say in front of these captains, even Professor Wang.
"Birds of a feather flock together. This has been true since ancient times. However, this is the first time for such a gathering of aliens. Cao Yanhua, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you still remember me?"
Soon, another person arrived.
This is a woman.
She is petite and has delicate black hair, but one of her eyes is pale and very unusual. She is wearing an old dress with a ghost pattern on it, which looks nondescript.
"He Yin'er, I'm glad to see you again. The headquarters was very worried last time you were missing for so long. Now I'm relieved to see you're fine." Cao Yanhua's eyes lit up and he greeted warmly.
He Yin'er is one of the earliest ghost controllers in the headquarters. He is very easy to get along with and proactive in handling supernatural events. His influence on He Yin'er is very good and profound.
"Resurrection from the dead is neither good nor bad, but the man named Yang Jian sent by the headquarters had a very bad attitude and almost started a fight with me over some personal matters." He Yin'er said with a cold face.
Cao Yanhua suddenly smiled bitterly.
Yang Jian?
Now that he is the law enforcement captain, it is up to him to convene the captain's meeting. There is nothing I can do against him, and I will have to rely on him in the future.
no way.
Cao Yanhua had no choice but to smooth things over: "The captain's meeting is quite urgent. Yang Jian was entrusted by the headquarters to invite everyone to attend the meeting. Although there are some minor frictions, I hope you will be more understanding and considerate. Everything is based on the overall situation. If you really have any dissatisfaction,
You can blame me, and I apologize to everyone."
"Forget it, it's not a big deal, so you don't need to apologize. I don't take it to heart either."
He Yin'er no longer hesitated, and turned to look at the others.
"I haven't been to the headquarters for such a long time. There are many new faces and there are also many missing people. Wei Jing, you are the only one I know here. Why don't you introduce me?"
Although she is young, her seniority in the headquarters is very high, and she is from the same group as Wei Jing.
As for the others, strictly speaking they are all ‘juniors’.
Wei Jing looked numb and said: "These are the captains of the headquarters. You should have read the archives. I won't introduce them one by one. I believe you will all know them soon."
He Yin'er's eyes moved slightly. She recalled the file information in her mind and began to correspond one by one with the people around her.
"It seems there are still many people who haven't come."
"Most of them are already here. There are a few who haven't shown up yet. Except for a few at the afternoon meeting, everyone should be here," Wei Jing said.
