Qi Xiaohei squatted on the curb in front of the private clinic, holding a bottle of pure water in his left hand, a valuable mechanical watch in his right hand, and several packs of compressed biscuits and energy bars in the plastic bags at his feet.
This Cartier mechanical watch was given to him by Alitanova. Before entering the operating room, she asked Qi Xiaohei to take this watch and look out at the door. If she did not come out after an hour, it meant that he needed his help.
.
Qi Xiaohei watched the second hand of the mechanical watch move one by one, and began to feel nervous. Fifty minutes had passed, and the time they agreed upon was about to arrive.
Will the doctor in this private clinic betray Miss Alitanova? If this is the case, how will he save people in the future? Qi Xiaohei was thinking wildly on the roadside.
At this moment, in the closed operating room of the clinic, the conversation between the doctor and the patient is coming to an end.
Alitanova gave up her flashy dress and chose to wear a light and loose polyester sports coat directly over her underwear.
The iron plate next to the operating table contained the warhead taken out of her body.
"This is an analgesic. You may need it after the anesthesia wears off." The doctor wearing a pair of brown-rimmed glasses handed a box of analgesics to Alitanova, who was getting dressed.
"Thank you."
The doctor shook his head slightly: "According to our agreement, you will not come to me again from now on, right?"
Alitanova smiled slightly, and asked with a hidden smile: "Do you feel uncomfortable working for the sect?"
"That's not what I meant..." The woman's narrowed eyes made the doctor a little nervous.
"When you were in dire straits due to gambling debts, it was the dean who helped you." Alitanova said, "Your clinic has not been operating well over the years, and it can only be maintained by blood transfusions with funds from the organization, but
You still insist on not changing your nature. Have we given you too much?"
The doctor opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything to refute.
After a moment, he lowered his head, adjusted his glasses, and whispered: "Isn't Mr. Lu Hong already arrested... Your previous operation to rescue Mr. Fu also failed, and the organization's funds have been cut off since last month.
, it is already difficult for me to maintain it."
"So you just want to sell the clinic and the equipment here and run away?" Alitanova snorted coldly, "According to the speed of your squandering, how long will this money be enough for you?"
"There's nothing I can do...it's been so bad outside lately. You know that plainclothes security bureau officers are chasing you in the streets, right?"
Alitanova raised her hand to signal him to stop: "Okay, no more."
The doctor begged her humbly and anxiously: "I have repaid Mr. Lu Hong's kindness. I have done everything he has asked me to do over the years. Now I just want to be like an ordinary person without having to hear the siren every day."
I am so scared, I hope you can help me..."
"Priest Friedheim once said to us, witness the faithful believers at dusk." Alitanova passed by the doctor, "It seems that you are not our true comrade."
She walked to the door of the operating room and suddenly turned around and asked: "How much debt do you still have?"
The doctor was stunned for a moment and said: "About... seven hundred thousand."
"Help me do something again, and the organization will repay the debt for you after the task is completed. How about that?"
The doctor's eyes showed surprise. He struggled internally for a few seconds, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation.
"You...what do you want me to do?"
Alitanova waved to the doctor to come closer and said something to him.
After hearing this, the doctor's throat trembled, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "This... I can't do this... this is impossible."
"Listen, if I hadn't been injured, you wouldn't have had the chance to show off even if you wanted to." Alitanova said coldly, "All you have to do is drive according to the navigation and use your citizenship to get away with it.
Encountered Security Bureau inspection."
"There... there are so many surveillance cameras in the city, and if they were traced to me based on the license plate, I would definitely not be able to run away."
Alitanova shook her head, lightly cursed "coward", turned around and left the operating room.
She calmed down her mood a little, adjusted her expression and walked out of the clinic door. She greeted Qi Xiaohei who was squatting in front: "Long wait."
Qi Xiaohei stood up and handed the Cartier watch back to her: "It's really on time, exactly one hour..."
"Really?" Alitanova smiled and did not take the watch he handed back, "I gave this to you."
"Give it to me? Isn't this expensive?" Qi Xiaohei was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable.
"I don't like to owe others, whether it's kindness or hatred, I'll repay it if I can."
Qi Xiaohei hesitated for a moment: "But I'm not helping you to get anything... People like me are outside this society. If you put this kind of precious thing here, it will lose its original value."
."
"Its original value?" Alitanova chuckled, "It was originally just a watch used to tell time. Its additional value is exactly what this society that we both hate has given it." p>
Qi Xiaohei defended in a low voice: "I actually don't hate this society, at least not completely."
"Whatever, you can keep it. If you think it will be a psychological burden, don't take it as a reward, treat it as a gift, or keep it as a souvenir." Alitanova did not want to continue the topic.
Qi Xiaohei was persuaded by her and finally agreed to accept this famous watch.
Then he asked: "Do you want to leave this city? I can take you out, but it may be a bit slow. The safe house moves very slowly..."
"I do want to leave, but before that, I want to do something." Alitanova raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "I want to take revenge on the people who pushed me to this situation."
"You want to take revenge on that person? How can you do it?" Qi Xiaohei opened his mouth in surprise.
There was an unparalleled confidence in Alitanova's eyes. She pointed to the throat area on her neck: "Use this."
Qi Xiaohei didn't understand what she meant.
Just as he was about to ask, the door of the clinic suddenly opened.
The doctor, who had changed into casual clothes, walked out of the clinic and said to Alitanova: "I'll go with you, but I want one million when the matter is done."
Alitanova, who had her back to the doctor, smiled and agreed without hesitation: "One million, it's a deal."
"What one million?" Qi Xiaohei became increasingly confused.
"Brother, I have a helper, let's just say goodbye." Alitanova patted Qi Xiaohei on the shoulder.
Without saying a word, the doctor took the key and walked to the car parked not far away. After unlocking by remote control, the car's taillights flashed twice.
Alitanova turned and walked towards the co-pilot, leaving Qi Xiaohei alone in a daze.
The doctor's broken car started slowly and drove the two of them away.
Qi Xiaohei held the Cartier watch that Alitanova left for him in his hand, looking at the direction where the car disappeared with infinite worry.
……
Nine o'clock at night.
Qidao City Security Bureau Conference Room.
Claire and Zhong Yugu ended today’s meeting, and neither of them looked relaxed.
After exchanging the intelligence in their hands, they found that each other's progress was not going well.
The Field Service Department's search for suspicious coasts over the past two days has yielded some results. Lin Jie and others found a facility suspected to be a stronghold for the Adventist sect's remnants on an offshore island with a lighthouse. However, when the commissioners broke in, there was no one there.
.
Considering that the opponent has the ability to move through space, it is reasonable to rush in. Lin Jie and others searched the stronghold, but found nothing of value except some daily necessities that were too late to take away.
The only report that can be called a clue is that "traces of the lives of 3 to 4 people were found in the facilities on the island." Some of the DNA information extracted is currently being identified by the technical department, and the results will not be available until later. p>
Compared with these small gains from the Field Service Department, the Criminal Investigation Department led by Zhong Yugu was even more unlucky. The intensive search in the old city received almost no positive feedback.
They searched almost the entire old city, but still found no trace of Alitanova.
In Zhong Yugu's words, it is simply unimaginable that a fugitive who suffered a gunshot wound and was isolated and without any means of obtaining food or medicine for two days could hide without leaving any trace.
Some people from the Criminal Investigation Department even suspected that the target might have died in a dark corner. If they continued the search, they might finally find a rotting corpse.
But even if a corpse is found in the end, the search cannot be given up. Zhong Yugu has arranged for his men to operate in three shifts. After all, he and Claire have issued a military order to Jin Shounan before, and they will not die until they see the corpse.
After the meeting, Zhong Yugu returned to the office of the Criminal Investigation Department to continue supervising his subordinates, and asked Yuan Yinchuan to leave for the old city to take command in his place.
Claire has nothing to keep an eye on for the time being, and she has to wait for the test results from the technical department.
She asked Lin Jie, Meng Dongxia and others to disband and go back to rest, so that they could recuperate and prepare to replace the workaholics from the Criminal Investigation Department who had been working hard for two days.
Taking the elevator down to the tactical command center on the ground floor, Claire said to An Zhitian, who was sitting in his armchair with his eyes closed and relaxing: "Director, I asked Xiao An to take you back. You won't be able to sleep well here." "How was the communication with Zhong Yugu?" An Zhitian opened his eyes.
"It's okay."
"That means there is no progress in the Criminal Investigation Department." An Zhitian's interpretation of her "not bad" was very accurate.
Claire shrugged, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip: "The old city itself is difficult to supervise, and Qidao City does not have the strength like Starzhou City to completely demolish and rebuild the entire old city. Zhong Yugu
People have tried their best, but some things will not produce results just because they try their best."
"According to common sense, it is difficult for a person with a gunshot wound to hide in an isolated and helpless environment. Even if she has the iron will to continue hiding, the untreated injury will kill her.
."
"Yes, the reason why people from the Criminal Investigation Department are still searching so hard is mainly because they have hope for this." Claire nodded.
"Then on the other hand, since Siren was able to avoid the high-intensity search, can it be inferred that she received help?" An Zhitian asked rhetorically.
Claire replied: "Is the director worried about the person with space transfer ability? The people from the Criminal Investigation Department have already brought relevant detection equipment when they entered the old city to search. If the other party activates the space transfer ability, they will be able to detect it immediately
arrived and tracked it."
"The person who helps the Kraken is not necessarily the one with the ability to transfer space." An Zhitian's tone was very cautious, "After fighting against the Guilin Sect for so many years, you should know that they are very good at bewitching and exploiting ordinary people."
"Yes, but the wanted order has been posted on the entire Internet through various channels immediately. In this case, there may not be many people who dare to help her." Claire thought, "If the Siren gets help, I would still prefer it.
So her accomplice."
An Zhitian was silent for a moment, stood up from the chair and stretched.
Then, he turned around and leaned on the table, folded his hands on his chest and smiled encouragingly at Claire: "Just do what you want, don't care too much about the opinions of this old guy like me."
"I will not betray the director's trust."
An Zhitian nodded, stepped forward and patted Claire on the shoulder: "Pay attention to rest and don't push yourself too hard."
Ten minutes later, An He drove to the security bureau to pick up his father. Claire went to the field department for a walk, and after exchanging a few words with the left-behind staff on duty as usual, she was ready to go home from get off work.
But she turned back halfway and took a set of equipment from the field department.
