heart poison

"The news I got here is also on December 12th." Liu Zhiqin threw away a bottle of eye drops, his eyelashes were wet, and there was a shadow in the bottom of his eyes, "their goals are four--City South Tourism Distribution Center, Autumn Mountain Tour Paradise, Hong'an Shopping Center in Luo'an District, and the Sixth People's Hospital."

"It's a place with a lot of people." Hua Chong frowned and stared at the laptop. "Moreover, there are many children and sick people in the Qiushan Amusement Park and the Sixth Hospital. Once attacked, the casualties will be very heavy."

"It's so cruel!" Le Ran had just returned from patrolling, and before she could take off her combat uniform, she held a gun in one hand and a piece of pillow cake in the other, "What's the matter with taking children and patients?"

"Don't think about the logic and human nature of terrorists, it's meaningless, it's just a waste of time." Shen Xun took the pillow cake from Le Ran and patted him on the waist, "Go and rest first."

"I'm not tired, I want to hear your analysis, so I can prepare as soon as possible." Le Ran dragged a chair, sat down with her legs apart, and put her arms on the back of the chair, "Brother Qin, they will be here at the same time Attack in four places, or pick one? Or attack at different times?"

Liu Zhiqin shook his head, "Based on the information we have so far, we can't judge yet. Team Shen, your side..."

Shen Xun was wearing a bluetooth headset, when he heard this, he gestured to wait a moment.

"Actually, no matter whether you can judge or not, these four places have to be watched by a large number of people." Hua Chong rubbed his forehead, "There are other places with a lot of traffic. You can't ignore them. Terrorists are a group of desperadoes. Most likely suicidal in nature. When they find it difficult to attack these four places, they may choose their targets at random."

"That is to say, you can't be negligent anywhere." Le Ran frowned, "But the flower team, we don't have so many people now. Brother Zhaofan made a patrol list, and the special police are already overloaded. I don't care. Anyway, I am in good spirits, and brother Xun understands, but some brothers are already complaining about family conflicts."

"It can only be overcome, there is no other way." Hua Chong said: "Los Angeles City has never encountered such a serious security problem, and the special police must be on the front line. But the lack of manpower..."

"It seems that we need to seek the assistance of the military." Liu Zhiqin looked at Shen Xun again as he spoke, "Without the support of the provincial military region, we will be very passive."

At this time, Shen Xun finished talking on the phone, took off the Bluetooth headset and put it aside, "He said that the tourist distribution center in the south of the city might be a smoke bomb, and the Hong'an Shopping Center is most likely to be attacked."

Hua Chong and the others knew who "he" was.

"Actually, even without further analysis, tourist distribution centers can be ruled out." Shen Xun said: "Although the bus station and train station are the places with the largest traffic flow, correspondingly, the police force is also the most abundant. Especially now that the New Year is approaching, where The people on duty are all armed police special services, there are a lot of infantry fighting vehicles, and the attack is difficult to launch. But the other three places are different, the security forces are not so many, and they are not professional. By the way, the New Year’s Eve The carnival is about to begin."

Hua Chong checked the calendar, "This year's Christmas Eve and Christmas are both working days, and the 29th happens to be Saturday. If you don't consider the holiday adjustment, this day should be more lively."

"That's why they chose this day." Liu Zhiqin took out a cigarette from the pack and twirled it between his fingers, "The 30th and 31st are holidays, and the 29th is a Saturday, but it was adjusted to be a working day. They know that the police will definitely raise the security alert to the highest level on the 30th, 31st, and 1st, and the 29th will become a relatively empty day."

"That's right." Shen Xun nodded, "Although there is no official holiday on the 29th, many people have already asked for leave in advance, so they don't have to work or go to class. On the night of the 29th, the Hong'an Shopping Center will be open all night, and the Qiushan Amusement Park will open evening sessions. There's a fireworks show."

Hua Chongdun shuddered.

The terrorists involved are cruel and cunning, choosing the 29th node to launch a terrorist attack is simply deliberate.If they hadn't hijacked their information in advance, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just imagine, who are the people who went to Qiushan Amusement Park and Hongan Shopping Center on the 29th?

Parents who ask for leave to bring their children for the festival, innocent and lovely children, couples who want to watch a firework together, white-collar workers who have worked hard for a year and want to buy a coat to reward themselves, children who bring their elderly parents together in a high-end restaurant that they have wanted for a long time...

The ordinary happiness they saved with their hands will be torn to pieces by those crazy demons in an instant.

Purgatory on earth, blood flowing like rivers.

Hua Chong took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to make alert deployments, "It is not clear what attack method they will use, but I guess, the possibility of setting up bombs is the highest. During this period of time, strengthening The patrols in the four places of Qiushan Amusement Park, and the EOD personnel are always in place."

"I think these people may not set the bomb in advance." Shen Xun said, "It's too difficult, unless it's done by insiders."

Hua Chong thought for a while and nodded, "When I was in Shacheng, I saw a lot of human bombs. Terrorists don't take human life as a rare thing. Many people who act as human bombs have received training. , brainwashed. To deal with them, as many snipers as possible must be present."

"But killing them may not be effective." Shen Xun said: "If it is detonated automatically or remotely, it will still cause a lot of casualties in places with dense traffic."

"You mean to restrict people from going to Qiushan Amusement Park and other places on the 29th?" Hua Chong rubbed his forehead, "This is not realistic."

"At least some people can be reduced through the control of public transportation." Shen Xun said, "I can coordinate this."

Le Ran raised her hand, "I can also coordinate."

Hua Chong smiled at the two of them, "Okay. There is one more thing I have to trouble you with."

Shen Xun shook his head, "Don't say 'trouble', we are now a cooperative relationship, there is no 'trouble' anyone."

Now that Shen Xun has made such a statement, Hua Chong is no longer polite, "The police forces that can be mobilized by the municipal bureau and the provincial department are limited, and I am afraid that the provincial military region will need to contribute."

"It's no problem." Shen Xun said, "I'll make arrangements right away."

Le Ran stretched her waist, and hugged the pillow cake that was only a little bit warm, "There are less than ten days left, no matter what you say, you must stop the terrorist attack and wipe out those lunatics!"

??

Chen Zheng was temporarily suspended, and the atmosphere of the Criminal Investigation Detachment was not much better than that of the Police Detachment.As soon as Hua Chong returned to the serious crime team's office, he noticed that the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

In fact, very few people stayed in the office, and most of the team members were sent out to the field.The office was empty, and several team members looked at him uneasily.

"How is Team Chen?" Qu Zhi worked day after day, and his minor cold turned into a severe one. He had no energy, his eyes drooped, and his voice was already hoarse, which became even more muffled through the mask.

When Chen Zheng was mentioned, Hua Chong's heart sank.

Chen Zheng, like Shen Xun, is a person with a background, but the matter of "leaking the secret" to Han Qu can be big or small, how to deal with it is actually a matter of the above sentence.

But now that Han Qu is on the run, no one from the terrorist gang has been arrested, and there has been a big case in Wutong Community in Los Angeles before, and a new round of attacks is imminent.

All of these are disadvantages.

If Han Qu can be successfully captured and the terrorist attack stopped in the end, then Chen Zheng's incident will most likely be reduced to a minor one.

If the terrorist attack cannot be stopped, then...

Hua Chong panted heavily, feeling his fingers were cold.

What's more, Chen Zheng has to endure inner torture, Han Qu's deception is very likely to become a thorn in his heart that cannot be removed.

Chen Zheng lives in a powerful family and has been working smoothly. He has worked for many years, relying entirely on his own ability and rarely relying on his family.All these years, I have been sticking to the front line of criminal investigation because I like this job and am willing to shoulder this responsibility.

But now, the betrayal of his colleagues is like a rusty knife, piercing him with blood.

No matter how strong a person is, it will hurt.

Thinking of the look in Chen Zheng's eyes when he laughed at himself as "the assistant of the inner ghost", Hua Chong pursed his lips in discomfort.

Qu Zhi tugged on his mask, turned around and coughed, haggard, "Is there no way we can help him? Team Chen, Team Chen has really done their duty in the Criminal Investigation Detachment these years."

Hua Chong tried his best to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "What we can do now is to do our best to ensure the safety of Los Angeles and avoid the recurrence of casualties."

Qu Zhi lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, "Captain Xiao... sorry, I thought he..."

Hua Chong patted Qu Zhi on the shoulder, and didn't deliberately say anything reassuring, he just said: "If Xiao Chengxin is still alive, we will definitely rescue him."

Qu Zhi covered his eyes and rubbed them vigorously, "I fucking suspect that there is something wrong with Team Xiao! His life and death are uncertain, and his colleagues still suspect him. If you say he knows, how chilling he will be!"

"Don't think about it." Hua Chong said, "How long has it been since you had a good night's sleep? If you can't hold on anymore, go and take a rest. There is still a tough battle to fight."

Qu Zhi nodded, just turned around, then turned back again, "Hua'er, now that Team Chen has an accident, the Criminal Investigation Detachment has to rely on you to support it, you must not collapse."

Hua Chong raised the corners of his lips and smiled heavily, "I know."

??

Shen Xun invited the armed police from the provincial military region as promised, and Zhao Fan quickly formed a formation of special police and armed police and dispatched them to the center and every corner of the city.

Liu Zhiqin spent most of his time in the technical investigation team, closely watching the botnet with the "foreign aid" far away in the capital, repeatedly verifying and analyzing the hijacked information flow.Hua Chong ran at both ends of the criminal investigation and the special police, and occasionally squeezed out a few minutes before going to the technical investigation team to deliver a cup of hot coffee to Liu Zhiqin.

Liu Zhiqin's eyes were dark blue, and his eyes were bloodshot.Hua Chong's heart ached, but he couldn't persuade Qu Zhi to rest like he did.

He cannot rest.

Liu Zhiqin raised his head, his eyes became gentle when they met Hua Chong's gaze.

Hua Chong looked at him for a moment, took his hand, bowed his head and kissed.

When the warm lips touched the cool fingertips, the restlessness in the blood was instantly ignited.

Liu Zhiqin's Adam's apple twitched, "Flower Team."

There was no one else in the police room, Hua Chong squeezed the hand that he had just kissed, five fingers interlocked, and the other hand supported Liu Zhiqin's chin, leaned over and kissed it.

Liu Zhiqin closed his eyes, clasped the back of Hua Chong's head with one hand, and deepened the sudden kiss.

"I'm going to be on duty at the special police tonight, and I won't be coming back." Hua Chong leaned against the table, and his fingers casually slid across his wet lips.

Liu Zhiqin looked at him fascinated, and said after a long time: "It's too hard."

"Who doesn't work hard?" Hua Chong laughed, "Aren't you working hard just sitting here? Let me see if mental work makes you lose your hair."

Liu Zhiqin touched the top of his head subconsciously, "Isn't it?"

"Let me check." Hua Chong said as he approached, rubbing his hands carelessly on Liu Zhiqin's head.

Liu Zhiqin was helpless, "If you rub it again, it will fall off."

"Huh?" Hua Chong pretended to be surprised, "Are you wearing a wig behind my back?"

Liu Zhiqin: "..."

Hua Chong smiled, and pulled a few strands of hair lightly, "So you don't wear a wig. Let me just say, there is no need to wear a wig with your short hair."

"Then why don't you go cut your hair too?" Liu Zhiqin said.

Hua Chong withdrew his hand, saying that he would not do it one after another, "My hairstyle is pretty good now."

"You used to have a cut head." Liu Zhiqin recalled: "Your head shape is good, and it looks like a round head from the back. I thought..."

"Yuanyuan has a head?" Hua Chong interrupted, "What's the description?"

"Hey, let me finish." Liu Zhiqin narrowed his eyes, "I thought, such a round head, if I have a chance to touch it, it would be great."

Hua Chong: "Tsk."

"It may be a little prickly, and it will itch in the palm of your hand." Liu Zhiqin said: "But at that time, I didn't even have the chance to get close to you, let alone touch your prickly hair. The palms couldn't itch, so my heart was itchy. Can't take it."

Hua Chong felt like an electric shock passed through his heart.

The Liu Zhiqin in front of him is no longer the childish and enthusiastic military student he was back then. He has matured, hiding his strength in his gentleness, and only showing it occasionally.

Hua Chong suddenly wanted to go back to the past, kiss his itchy little boyfriend, and let him touch his short hair sticking to his scalp.

"He's handsome like this now." Liu Zhiqin said again, "Then don't cut it off. In winter, it's cold to shave an inch. If it's bad, you have to put on a woolen hat like Le Ran."

"You want to say that your head is cold in the winter now." Hua Chong said, "Remind me to buy you a woolen hat?"

Liu Zhiqin rolled his eyes, "If you want."

"You man, can't you just say something straight?" Hua Chong feigned anger.

"Just say a few words less." Liu Zhiqin played with his fingers, "I want to say a few more words to you."

Hua Chong's chest was so soft that he looked at the time, "I have to go."

Liu Zhiqin also had sense of proportion, let go of his hand, "Well, be careful."

Leaving the technical investigation team, Hua Chong leaned against the wall for a few seconds, then rubbed his face and ran downstairs quickly.

For him, Liu Zhiqin was the most reliable backing and the most desirable armor.

Christmas is coming soon, and the streets and alleys of Los Angeles are decorated with lights and festoons, creating a festive scene.

But unlike previous years, there are many more special police officers on duty in Los Angeles this year, and there are even many armed police officers in camouflage.Armored combat vehicles that used to only appear in train stations have driven near schools and hospitals, and police officers with guns can often be seen at stations and shopping malls.The armed police did not show up much, but if you observe carefully, you will find that many of them are staying in the buses sent by the military, ready to call at any time.

The upgraded security did not reassure people, but instead exaggerated another kind of tension. There were much fewer people on the street than in the same period in previous years-this was expected by Hua Chong and Shen Xun, and it was unavoidable.

Hua Chong changed into the special police uniform he hadn't worn for a long time, and when he got off the police car, he subconsciously touched the gun on his waist.

It was already very late at night, the subway was closed, and the shops were closed, but the entire Hongan Shopping Center was still brightly lit, like a shining castle.

Shoppers have mostly left, and mall employees are still busy.Because soon, it will be open all night to start the year-end carnival.

Hua Chong walked a few steps in the empty atrium, greeted several special police officers, opened his mouth slightly, and exhaled white mist.

It doesn't snow very much in Los Angeles, but the temperature in winter is very low, especially at night, the wind is biting, and it will be unbearable to stay outdoors for too long.

Hua Chong tugged the distributed scarf to his chin, and while listening to the reports of various groups in the earphones, he looked around.

This kind of task was often encountered in the special police detachment before, but after the criminal investigation detachment, it basically only dealt with vicious homicide cases.Cooperating with special police and armed police this time, there is no sense of strangeness.

In the early morning, the city became more and more quiet.Hua Chong rubbed his numb hands, took a deep breath, covered his face, and walked towards the police car.

I don't want to be called out as soon as I turn around.

The voice was so familiar that he didn't react for a while.

Liu Zhiqin stood not far away, lifted the hot drink in his hand, and his smile melted into the night.

"Why are you here?" Hua Chong's pupils opened slightly, falling into a little neon light.

"Squad Shen kicked me out." Liu Zhiqin put the hot drink in Hua Chong's hands, "I'm your assistant now, I shouldn't still call myself an expert in information warfare, I have to let others do what I should do .”

Hua Chong took the hot drink, and his cold hands immediately warmed up.

"The most important information has been obtained, and now we can really rest for a while." Liu Zhiqin said, stretched out his index finger, and touched the tip of Hua Chong's nose.

Hua Chong didn't hide, took a sip of the hot drink, it was chocolate milk, maybe too much chocolate was added, it was a bit greasy, "Why?"

"The tip of your nose is red from the cold." Liu Zhiqin said.

"Really?" Hua Chong said, "I'm unconscious."

The two walked towards the police car together.Liu Zhiqin looked at a tall building, and said softly, "Is there a sniper over there?"

"See it?"

"By feeling."

Hua Chong soon drank half of the chocolate milk, and pursed his lips from being tired.

"Too sweet?" Liu Zhiqin asked.

"A little bit." Hua Chong didn't want to drink anymore, but he couldn't bear to throw it away.

"Then give it to me." Liu Zhiqin said, "I'll drink the rest."

Hua Chong looked at the straw and found that the top was flattened by himself, but fortunately no teeth marks were left.

Within seconds of hesitation, Liu Zhiqin had already taken the paper cup away, and drank up the remaining chocolate milk in a few mouthfuls.

"It's too sweet." Liu Zhiqin said, "It's too sweet."

Hua Chongxiao said, "It's not that you added an extra piece of chocolate."

"I'm afraid it's not thick enough." Liu Zhiqin threw the paper cup into the trash can, held Hua Chong's hand to test the temperature, "It's finally hot."

This place is no different from the police room of the criminal investigation detachment, Hua Chong quickly withdrew his hands, and Liu Zhiqin also put his hands into the pockets of his coat.

The armed police not far away were conducting drills to deal with emergencies, and the sound of footsteps was uniform, especially loud in the cold night.

Hua Chong looked at it for a while, then suddenly sighed.

"Are you still worried?" Liu Zhiqin asked.

Hua Chong said "Yes", "I have been thinking for the past few days that no matter how careful we are, we may not be able to completely avoid casualties. However, if we attack in advance, and under the circumstances of insufficient preparation, it is very likely to startle the enemy and mess up the situation. Also, now that we have strengthened the security level of Hongan Shopping Center and other places, will they temporarily change their plan and attack other places?"

"If that's the case, I will get the information as soon as possible." Liu Zhiqin said.

Hua Chongmo for a few seconds, still a little uneasy, "That's good."

??

"You really don't intend to leave?" Lian Feng sullenly said.

"The show is about to begin." Han Qu said, "I bought a ticket and have the right to stay."

Lian Feng sighed.

"Why are you sighing?" Han Qu sneered, "They've already taken the bait, what else do you have to worry about? Lian Feng, we are the ones to win this battle anyway, and they have no chance of winning."
