Chapter 472 Searching the Utility Room

Zhao Lei understood what he meant and nodded vigorously. He said, "I understand, Chief. I'll do it right away." After that, he turned around and left quickly to plunge into the intense investigation work.

He Feng knew very well that this kind of investigation could not be rushed and had to be done steadily and cautiously. If one was not careful, all the previous efforts might be wasted.

At the same time, a secret investigation was launched at a higher level. They were looking for who transferred He Feng back to his original position. This was no small matter, and there might be complex conflicts of interest and power games involved.

Time passed by little by little in the tense atmosphere. In the afternoon, the sun shone through the window onto the floor of the office, forming patches of golden color. Ma Xin knocked on the door gently, and after getting He Feng's consent, she slowly walked into the office. She looked a little hesitant, as if there was something difficult to say.

Ma Xin walked up to He Feng, lowered his head slightly, and said softly: "Director He, I want to tell you something."

He Feng raised his head and looked at Ma Xin, his eyes full of concern, and asked: "Ma Xin, what do you want to say? Don't hesitate, just say it directly."

Ma Xin raised his head and looked at He Feng, then lowered his head again, a trace of struggle on his face, and stammered: "This..."

He Feng was quick to notice that Ma Xin seemed a little different from usual. Just as he was about to ask further questions, Ma Xin suddenly raised his head, forced a smile, and said, "It's okay, Director He. I just want to tell you that you work so hard, you must take good care of yourself."

He Feng was slightly stunned, then a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he nodded and said: "The last incident did scare me, but don't worry, as a people's policeman, I have long been prepared to sacrifice everything for the people. This is my duty, and I will not back down."

Ma Xin moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words in the end and just nodded silently. She looked at He Feng's determined eyes, with mixed feelings in her heart, and some words could not be said after all.

He Feng's eyes were fixed on Ma Xin, as if he could see through her thoughts. He said slowly, "Are you hiding something in your heart and want to tell me? Looking at the way you look today, I always feel that something is wrong." Ma Xin was slightly startled, and then a smile quickly appeared on her face, but that smile seemed a little far-fetched. She said, "It's nothing, don't think too much. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

He Feng looked at Ma Xin's departing back, and the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. He always felt that Ma Xin seemed to be hiding something from him, but he couldn't tell what was wrong at the moment. Helplessly, he shook his head gently, packed up his things, and went home after get off work.

Ma Xin returned home and walked straight to the living room, where she saw the man in black sitting quietly. She looked at the man in black, her face full of worry and entanglement, and said, "Are you really going to do this? You know, he is a big leader! If the matter is exposed, He Feng's life will be gone." The man in black raised his head, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile, and said, "What's wrong, Ma Xin? Are you really in love with He Feng?"

Ma Xin's eyes dimmed, and he smiled self-deprecatingly, saying, "How can I be worthy of him? I just think the current situation is too unfavorable for us. Look, you don't even have reinforcements now. What can we do with just a few of us? Isn't this courting death?"

The man in black stood up, his eyes revealing a firmness and determination, and said: "You don't understand, this is my belief. For this belief, I can sacrifice my life, even if it means being torn to pieces."

Ma Xin looked at the man in black, her eyes full of helplessness and anger, and said loudly: "You are really crazy! I don't care about you anymore, and don't implicate me again. I don't want to die with you." After that, she turned around and left. The man in black looked at Ma Xin's back, opened his mouth, and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and returned to his room silently.

The man in black returned to the room, walked to the window, and quietly looked at the dimly lit street outside. His eyes revealed a trace of guilt, and he whispered to himself: "Ma Xin, I know you are sad, but I really can't do anything. I will definitely not involve you in this matter. As long as the mission is completed, I will leave and will not cause you any more trouble." The man in black knew that his mission was full of dangers. If he failed, everyone might fall into an irretrievable situation. But for the belief in his heart, he could only choose to persist.

On the other side, Ma Xin returned to her room and took out a notebook from the drawer. She sat on the bed, thinking for a moment, then picked up a pen and wrote a few words in the notebook. After writing, she looked at it carefully again, as if to confirm something, and then carefully put the notebook back to its original place.

Night fell, and it was Zhao Lei's turn to be on duty tonight. When it was late at night and everyone had left work, Zhao Lei slowly walked towards the utility room. He knew that there was usually no one in the utility room at night, which was a good time to investigate. Zhao Lei gently pushed open the door and walked into the utility room. He looked around in the weak light and found that there was nothing special inside, only some old tables, chairs and sundries.

But he did not give up, he took out the stethoscope he found during the day from his pocket and began to search carefully in the utility room. He knew very well that as long as there was a hidden space, some subtle sounds might be heard, and what he had to do was to capture these sounds and uncover the secrets behind them.

Zhao Lei had been searching in that area for quite a while, searching almost every possible place, but still found nothing substantial. As time went by, his patience was gradually worn out. Just when he was about to give up, a faint voice came into his ears. He immediately perked up, carefully distinguished, and determined that it was the voice of someone talking from below.

Zhao Lei carefully took out the stethoscope he carried with him and gently placed it on the ground, trying to use the stethoscope to more clearly capture the movement below. However, he knew that the people below could come up at any time. So, after roughly understanding the situation, he quickly put away the stethoscope, quietly hid in the shadows on the side, held his breath, and stared at the direction where the sound came from.
