In the blink of an eye, it was already New Year's Eve. Not long after Gao Liang returned to Donghai, according to Bureau 749's past practice, he had a department dinner and then went home early to celebrate the New Year. Not long after he took the lead to escape,
People from other departments also began to leave one after another. Seeing the bureau building empty, I felt a little uncomfortable for a while.
Although I have always lived alone, at least when I was at the auction house, every Chinese New Year, Jiang Kai’s colleagues from the auction house would drag me home to celebrate the New Year with them, so like now, the Chinese New Year continues
I really haven’t experienced much during the days of working on duty.
It was just after noon that day, and Lin Qianyi, who stayed with us on duty, suggested that we go out to buy some food. Thanks to Zhang Mo, he had already solved all the cases accumulated in the bureau before we returned to Donghai.
, we have nothing to do now. In this case, we might as well get off work early and prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner tonight.
Zhang Mo naturally agreed with Lin Qianyi's proposal, and the three fat men who had already dozed off did not object. So we walked to the canteen on the first floor, asked the canteen staff who had not left yet, and asked for the key and discussed it.
In the evening, we could borrow the things here to cook our own meals, and then the four of us went out together to buy a lot of semi-finished dishes and materials.
The third fat man thought it was too troublesome, and originally wanted to buy cooked food directly, but Lin Qianyi rejected it, saying that it would be better to cook the food himself to have a New Year atmosphere.
The group spent two hours shopping for groceries, and worked for another half a day after returning to the station. It was not until the Spring Festival Gala started that the New Year's Eve dinner was ready.
Although it took a lot of time, the meal was rich. In addition to the semi-finished products he bought, Zhang Mo, who spent a lot of time in Taiwan, also went to the kitchen to cook several Taiwanese dishes in order to please Lin Qianyi.
Although he has a weird temper, his craftsmanship is quite good. Even Lin Qianyi rarely praised him, which made the future head of Longhu Mountain so happy that he went back to his room specially.
, and took out a bottle of Taiwanese specialty Kinmen sorghum wine that was said to be taken back to Longhu Mountain to honor the elders.
When I saw that he was about to drink, I immediately felt something was wrong. I still vividly remember the scene when I first entered the game and was drunk by Lin Qianyi, so I wanted to stop him, but Lin Qianyi said with a smile: "Four-Nine"
You’re too bored, how can you not drink during the Chinese New Year dinner?”
"That's right, that's right..." The third fat man also assisted, "It's a long night, how can we live without wine?"
I saw that there was nothing I could do about it. Among the four people in the relationship, except for me, three of them were hiding the attribute of drunkards. For a moment, I suddenly had a premonition that I might be prepared to get drunk tonight.
After everything was ready, the third fat man turned on the TV in the cafeteria. Everyone sat at the dining table and watched the Spring Festival Gala. When they were about to use their chopsticks, a person suddenly walked in from outside.
The third fat man turned around and saw the uninvited guest who suddenly broke in, and his face turned pale.
"Wu, Director Wu! Why are you here?"
This uninvited guest was Wu Tian, the director of the Intelligence Department and San Pang’s old boss. He had a document in his hand. When he saw us, he walked straight over without saying a word.
He took the seat of the third fat man, picked up the third fat man’s chopsticks and ate a few bites of the food. He also grabbed the third fat man’s wine glass and took a big sip. Then he said to us: “I’m so sorry. We’re celebrating the New Year. I want to give you a bad taste.”
information."
"Seeing you is the worst news." The third fat man's eyes were on fire as he stared at the seat that was taken away from him. "Why don't you go home during the Chinese New Year?"
"Not only your Investigation Department, but also the Intelligence Department must have someone on duty. Unfortunately, it's my turn this year." Wu Tian said while eating food.
I saw that he seemed to be interested in eating together, so I took another set of tableware, and then moved a seat for the third fat man. After we all sat down together, I asked him: "Director Wu, you just said there was bad news. Is that right?"
What's the meaning?"
Wu Tian glanced at me, took another sip of wine and then said: "You want to hear it now? Anyway, there are no outsiders now, I can buy you some time, let's have a good meal before talking."
"Old Wu, if you have anything to say, just say it. Who would have the appetite to eat if you are so pretentious?" Before I could say anything, the third fat man had already said it first. The rest of us had almost the same idea as him. None of us picked up the bowls and chopsticks.
He looked at Wu Tian blankly.
Under the pressure of our gaze, Wu Tian was finally too embarrassed to continue eating alone. After he put down his chopsticks, he handed the document he brought with him to Lin Qianyi and said at the same time: "It's your luck too."
No, I just received information that a Class B incident is suspected to have occurred in Hanghu City. The incident is quite high and requires you to investigate immediately."
We were stunned for a moment when we heard Wu Rendi's words. The third fat man said first: "Now?"
Wu Tian hummed, and I said, "Director Wu, you didn't mean to mess with us, did you? It's New Year's Eve now?"
He pointed to the document in Lin Qianyi's hand and said to us: "That's why I said it's bad news. If this incident can be postponed until after the Chinese New Year, I won't have to come to you on New Year's Eve.
"
I turned my attention to Lin Qianyi. At this time, she seemed to have finished reading the document Wu Tian gave her. She raised her head and said to us solemnly: "Sijiu, Xiao Zhu, Zhang Mo, Uncle Wu is right,
This matter cannot be delayed, we must confirm it immediately."
Speaking of this, Lin Qianyi looked at a table of steaming dishes and said to us: "Let's do this. You three stay here. I will go to Hanghu City to investigate first. If this matter is true,
It's under our jurisdiction, come back and support me."
"How can that be done?" Zhang Mo was the first to jump up, "Qianyi, you and I will go to Hanghu, and let Lin Sijiu and the others stay here."
The third fat man stood up for the second time. This guy had been thinking about revenge since Zhang Mo gave him a slap in the face when he met Zhang Mo for the first time. Now the opportunity finally came.
He said: "Hey, Mr. Zhang, you are not Sister Lin's partner. If you want to go, it won't be your turn. We should go together with Sijiu and Sister Lin."
Zhang Mo immediately looked unhappy and said: "Zhu Dingtian, just eat your New Year's Eve dinner and don't meddle in other people's business!"
Not to be outdone, the third fat man replied: "You stinky Taoist priest, don't give me any attention from Sister Lin!"
While San Pang and Zhang Mo were glaring at each other and fighting fiercely, I was not idle and asked Lin Qianyi how many times she had glanced at the document she requested.
After taking a look, I understood why Lin Qianyi was so anxious to go to Hanghu.
This incident happened in Hanghu City, not far from the East China Sea. Almost a month ago, during the New Year's Day holiday this year, a gruesome injury incident suddenly occurred in Hanghu City.
A woman was seriously injured in the incident. Because the injured person's family had a good background, the police took the matter extremely seriously and mobilized a special investigation team to investigate. However, after the investigation lasted for nearly half a month, the investigation of the case failed.
There was still no progress. Even while the police were investigating the case, the murderer suspected of being the attacker in the first case attacked two women one after another.
The occurrence of two new injuries was undoubtedly a slap in the face to the local police. Just when the local police were angered by the prisoners' arrogance and began to arrange a wider search, an even more egregious incident occurred.
The incident happened again, and this time the victim was actually a child!
In less than a month, four attacks occurred in succession, and the murderers of these cases seemed to specifically target women and children. The impact on society was extremely bad. In order to maintain stability, the police blocked the news, but the rumors have already spread.
It spread quietly in Hanghu. For a time, everyone in Hanghu City was in danger. The huge social pressure made the local police, who were overwhelmed, finally asked the Ministry of Public Security in the capital to send experts to assist in the investigation.
The dossier describing the details of the case written in the request application happened to be seen by a chief in charge of the Ministry of Public Security.
Because of the "Tang Sanzang" incident that just ended, the chief had been in contact with Wang Jun and had a very clear understanding of the capabilities and expertise of our 749 Bureau. Therefore, after reading the file of that case, the chief judged,
This incident was very likely to involve supernatural phenomena, so he took the decision himself and handed over the information about this case to Wang Jun, who had returned to the East China Sea, hoping that Bureau 749 could assist them in investigating the strange incident that occurred in Hanghu.
case.
Therefore, under Wang Jun's instructions, this case was finally delivered to us who were still on duty.
In addition, on the first page of the intelligence sent to us, I also saw the instructions written by Wang Jun himself: The case involves women and children and is of extremely bad nature. The personnel on duty at the Investigation Department are ordered to see this case.
After receiving the information, we immediately started investigating.
