Criminal Investigation: Forbidden Rose

There was a flash of lightning.

That moment seemed very long, so long that Shao Lin could barely react.And Xia Yi's muscles tensed up, and his whole body was shot out like a sharp arrow, but his heart felt cold - it was too late.

He himself is the sniper in the team, so he understands that this is the perfect sniper moment.

However, the red light only flickered in the end and then disappeared.

Maybe the sniper's target was only Chen Xin, maybe the other party didn't dare to kill the policeman, or maybe the other party hesitated and didn't press the trigger in the end.In the next second, Xia Yi threw Shao Lin to the ground, led the men to roll behind the bunker, pulled out the walkie-talkie and shouted: "The informant was shot dead, there are snipers on the tall building 600-800 meters to the southeast , focusing on the second phase of Anjian, blocking the road, we may be too late in the past!"

The air was almost frozen for a long time.

It wasn't until the siren sounded in the distance that the sniper was about to shift position, and Xia Yi breathed a sigh of relief.All the trembling fear gathered into an angry curse: "Do you have any common sense? How can you get out in this situation? Aren't you just going up to give the head away?!"

Shao Lin knew that Xia Yi was right at all, so he was at a loss for words.It's just that he never thought about it, how could there be snipers hiding in a city as safe as Yan'an?But Xia Yi was pressing on his chest, it was so tight that he could hardly breathe.Shao Lin struggled and coughed a few times before Xia Yi let go.

The two didn't have time to say anything, they just exchanged a strong hug, jumped into the police car and chased towards the tall building.

Along the way, the internal channel of the police intercom almost exploded——

"How did it get exposed? We have been careful about everything!"

"Could it be that people in the usual circle have discovered the abnormality? But Chen Xin has not received a few calls in total. We monitor and provide speeches throughout the whole process. There is no problem at all?"

"I really have eyes, urban sniper, I haven't seen it since I was a police officer for ten years?!"

"I'm sorry, I feel like we've been tricked, and now Chen Xin's account has also been managed and removed from the planet..."

Soon, the police locked the tall building where the sniper was located based on the direction and angle.It was the second phase of An Jian that Xia Yi had suspected before.It was a piece of commercial real estate that was basically completed, but it seemed that there was something wrong with the contract. Now there were neither construction workers nor merchants settled in, and it was completely a monitoring blind spot.

When the police arrived, the top of the tall building was already empty, except for the scorching sun and clear sky.

The location of the sniper point was not difficult to find, because the sniper did not intend to hide his tracks at all—a golden bullet case was erected on the ground, just facing the direction of the warehouse.A packet of white powder was pressed under the cartridge case.

I'm afraid the police won't find it.

"Yo." Xia Yi picked up the things left by the sniper, looked at the golden bullet, "7.62x51mm standard NATO, M118 sniper bullet, S Army's. Probably M21, M24 or M4." He said Looking back, I narrowed my eyes slightly in the wind, and sighed in a low voice: "Here comes a professional..."

The people behind this are not simple.

It should be infiltrated by an international criminal group.

And Shao Lin took the bag of white powder from him - he could recognize it at a glance, it was the fentanyl sample that Chen Xin sent to the criminals before.Shao Lin twisted the plastic bag with his index finger and thumb, only to find that there was a small piece of paper with uneven corners stuffed inside, on which was crookedly written Chen Xin's handwriting: "Help me".

Shao Lin murmured: "This person was actually called by Chen Xin himself."

In the past few days, Chen Xin's 24-hour activities have been restricted, and everything is under the surveillance of the police. There is no chance to tip off others—except for the day when he went to the storage cabinet in the east area of ​​Tianhong Commercial Building to deposit fentanyl.Although, under the watchful eyes of the police, Chen Xin did not have contact with anyone, but he should have put the note into the plastic bag at the moment when he put his hands in the cabinet during the deposit.

During this period of time, Chen Xin never touched electronic equipment, but he did touch paper and pen when writing his confession by hand.I don't know when he secretly wrote the words "save me".

Everything that happened afterwards was logical.

It's just that not only the police, but Chen Xin himself probably didn't think of it—the other party didn't come to "rescue" him.Afterwards, the police thoroughly checked the factory and warehouse agreed upon by the two parties, and found that there was no "chemical equipment for refining fentanyl" at all.The other party wanted to lure Chen Xin to this place, but it was because the monitoring of this area was not perfect, and the sniper had a wide field of vision, so it was convenient to kill him directly.

The more Shao Lin thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case: "No wonder. Chen Xin was hesitant at first, because he didn't dare to betray his accomplice, but after the other party received the fentanyl sample, he proposed to purify the sample on the spot. , he suddenly became very aggressive again."

Because, Chen Xin misunderstood that the other party was coming to rescue him.

Xia Yi cursed a curse word in a low voice: "Your self-inflicted crime!"

Shao Lin lowered his eyes and looked at the dark gray ground behind the bullet——the murderer also wrote in Arabic numerals on the ground—[one to zero] using a piece of off-white plaster that fell from the construction site.

……

The plan to use downstream distributors to fish upstream can be regarded as a complete failure.

After a group of people dealt with the scene, they all returned to the bureau in disgrace. Zheng Jiansen was so angry that he almost had a heart attack.In the past few years, Zheng Jiansen has spent most of his time in the office and no longer participated in front-line operations. At this moment, a pile of documents fell directly on the table with a "crash": "Such a dangerous plan was executed so sloppily? You guys The plan has not yet passed the review, so you just cut it first and then play it? Now it’s all right, and an informant died, isn’t the informant’s money his life? Ah? What kind of informant would dare to work for you trash in the future, ah?!”

Xia Yi held hot tea in one hand and a plate of nitroglycerin in the other, and smiled like a dog: "Then what, Bureau Zheng, please calm down, Taizu once said that this body is the capital of the revolution, although you are not very old , but this—”

"Shut up your bawdy mouth!" Zheng Jiansen yelled and interrupted, "We're not done with the dead informant! Which brat came up with the plan, stand up for me!"

Just as Shao Lin wanted to take the initiative to admit his mistake, Xia Yi stomped on him secretly.He turned his head in a little surprise, but saw Xia Yi snap to attention, standing up straight: "Report to Bureau Zheng, that little bastard is me!"

Zheng Jiansen looked at the nitroglycerin tablet in his hand, and suddenly felt double colic in his heart.

"The action was unanimously approved through discussion in the group," Jiang Mowen stepped forward to smooth things over, "After all, this is the first time we have had direct contact with this secret underground team. We have never seen such a large-scale and organized line." On the drug trafficking network, everyone in the task force thought that this opportunity should not be let go."

"You——you—" Zheng Jiansen pointed at Jiang Mo, almost out of breath, "You are an old man in the team, why do you follow them to make trouble! Where is Wu Zhengdong? Wu Zhengdong also agreed?!"

"When the higher authorities passed the review, everyone knew that something happened to Chen Xin, and we completely missed this opportunity." Xia Yi explained, "We had to hurry up and use this short window to catch big fish!"

"You still dare to quibble? Fishing and fishing are all about catching big fish! Look, have you caught a fish? You almost lost yourself! What is the most important thing about the plan? Be safe!" Zheng Jiansen cursed in a low voice, heartbroken. , "If the plan cannot guarantee the safety of everyone's life, if the uncertainty of the action is too great, then change to a more secure plan! Every time an approved hunting operation is analyzed and finalized by many people, it dares to let you go Going out to arrest people? Do you know that any hunting plan in the city requires you to draw your guns first-line, and our superiors have to write a review. Why are we so cautious? For your safety! But I see you, Officer Xia Your guts are really big!"

Zheng Jiansen took a deep breath: "Do you know why we don't use undercover agents in anti-drugs these years? Because the most unacceptable thing for us is the price of life! Yes, we want to solve the case, we want to solve the problem - but we also want to Unnecessary losses are minimized!"

"Xia Yi, if you can't solve this case in the end, don't blame me for taking this note on you!"

Just as Shao Lin was about to speak, Xia Yi stopped him.

The man didn't say anything, he just gave a military salute on the spot: "Yes!"

When going out, Shao Lin bumped him lightly with his shoulder: "I don't need you to take the blame for me."

"Don't worry, we all have a share in the review. If Mr. Shao really thanks me sincerely, you can also write the one for me!" Someone Xia beeped softly, "Oh, by the way, remember to check that the importance is less than 30% , don’t use beautiful vocabulary, it’s better to write a few more typos, or Zheng Ju will say it’s ghostwriting.”

Shao Lin: "..."

The clues were temporarily interrupted, another informant died, and the task force temporarily fell into report writing mode.After returning home at night, Shao Lin fiddled with his mind map again: Xiang Houjun's photo was on the far left, and a timeline of poisoning cats and trying the new drug SC was drawn below.Before that, he was a survivor of the Penglai Princess.

And the Penglai Princess is connected with "Admin" and the secret planet.

Under the secret planet, there is a question mark, which is the manufacturer of the new drug, and further down, is Terry, with Chen Xin's photo on it.

Xia Yi propped his hands on the sofa, watched him fiddle with those relationship lines, and suddenly said: "Do you have anything to say, did you not say it in the bureau today?"

Shao Lin stared at the mind map he made, and said slowly: "I have two points that I can't understand. The first point is Chen Xin's initiative to ask for help. He is obviously only a copper-3 level in the secret planet. The supplier is not even a silver position. Among the suppliers, this person belongs to the lowest level. Logically speaking, it is impossible for this kind of person to directly contact the BOSS. Why does he think that the other party received the news Will you come to rescue him later?"

"So, I feel that this Chen Xin's identity is not just as simple as he confessed. From the beginning to the end, this person is dishonest. Moreover, he is very likely to be convinced that there is something in him worth saving Chips. That's one."

"The second doubt is why the murderer wasted so much effort just to kill Chen Xin." Shao Lin paused, "If Chen Xin is just an ordinary next door, then just use his account Kicking out of the planet is enough. However, they chose to kill people under the noses of the police. Therefore, the criminal group thinks that Chen Xin is not worth saving. However, this makes me suspect that there is indeed a secret hidden in Chen Xin. The other party killed What is the purpose of killing him? To silence him? Or something else? So, I think the next step is to dig deeper into Chen Xin's background."

Xia Yi nodded after listening, "What else?"

Shao Lin's hands froze slightly, but his face was expressionless: "There is no other analysis for now."

"I mean, what do you think of the one-to-zero on the wall? This scoring is very similar to a game. What do you think he is comparing?"

Shao Lin snorted: "It's just a boring provocation."

"Is the murderer provoking the police?"

"Yes."

Xia Yi paused, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Then you know that today's killer could have killed you, right?"

Shao Lin glanced at him calmly and didn't answer.

The others were too far away, and had never experienced that thrilling second.But Xia Yi is not far from Shao Lin, and as it happens, he knows sniping better than anyone else.At that time, he was so immersed in the joy that Shao Lin hadn't had an accident that he didn't realize it.Now that it's revisited afterwards, the incident becomes more and more strange: "Why do you think he stopped?"

"If the murderer's target is Chen Xin, there's no need to kill again." Shao Lin replied softly, "Maybe people get paid to work, and there will be an extra charge for adding heads."

"However, if the murderer's target is Chen Xin, then after he is killed with one blow, he should immediately withdraw his gun and retreat! If I were the murderer, after the target fell, I would not waste a second, and would definitely move the position directly! Why do I still want to aim at people?" Xia Yi spoke faster and faster, "Even if I'm not in a hurry to evacuate, I just want to observe the surroundings, why do I need to open that stupid red dot? Gun, do you still have to let everyone know that 'I am aiming at this person'? I don't know about others, but from the perspective of a professional sniper, this behavior is really——too unnecessary."

Unless, he has some kind of connection with you.

He was demonstrating some kind of power deterrence.

"So, Shao Lin, what do you think is the reason?"

Shao Lin remained silent.

"It's fine if you don't tell me." In the end, Xia Yi sighed.He got up and took out a one-inch photo from the drawer of the bookcase, which he cut out from a copy of Shao Lin's former Interpol passport page.

"Then I'll change the question."

"I see you've been fiddling with these character relationship stickers all day." Barefoot, Xia Yi handed Shao Lin the photo of him in uniform, "Tell me, this person, in this picture, should be posted Where is it?"

Shao Lin still looked at Xia Yi calmly.The corners of his eyes were slightly bent, as if he was smiling, but also a little sad.His Adam's apple moved, his fists clenched and then relaxed.Silly dogs are not so stupid sometimes.Sometimes, he is even sharper than anyone else.

Shao Lin took the photo and stood up too.

He took a deep breath: "Xia Yi, maybe there is something that I can't tell you for a while."

Xia Yi didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see that the beautiful outline of the other party's eyes almost glowed at that moment.

"However, I can assure you," Shao Lin lightly took the photo on the other person's chest, and whispered, "Wherever you are, he will be there."
