The sparks of the burning rope have not yet been extinguished, and they fall with ashes to the tiles under their feet.
In an instant, a knee struck Luper's abdomen, and then a hand clamped down on Luper's wrist as he tried to fight back. Then there was a snapping sound, and his entire shoulder was dislocated and pulled down.
Kuranta only had time to pick up his short crossbow, but before he could take aim, the flames swept up from the top of the cigarette that fell to the ground.
In the sudden incident, the demolition team on standby took immediate action. The walls on both sides collapsed during the directional blasting. The rappelling assaulters from above broke through the window and quickly controlled the two people.
The little film girl stood in the middle of the police officers surrounding the entire apartment in a few seconds. She suddenly felt【}
"Be good, it's okay. Be obedient and don't open your eyes." She heard a voice ringing in her ears, and everything became quiet again among the smoke, dust and building rubble.
"The hostages are safe and the scene is under control."
Demolition pliers cut the wire.
"Immediately order the demolition team to be in place, and other personnel will escort the prisoners to evacuate the building. Within 200 meters nearby, any movement of people without permission is prohibited."
He stayed with the little girl, and he couldn't leave until he was sure the bomb-disposal girl was safe.
The rain is getting heavier.
When Chen and Xingxiong saw him again, it was him who came out of the old apartment with the film girl with her eyes closed. The police lights were flashing. He looked embarrassed, covered with dust, and the blood dripping from his forehead was not there yet. Wipe it off.
The police officers stopped the reporters who were rushing outside the cordon, flashing lights for a moment.
Chen saw him handing the girl in his hand to the accompanying police officer, and the little girl clutched his coat tightly.
She saw him handing the girl to a couple, who were holding the little girl and sobbing. She saw him holding the little bear doll standing next to the police car and looking in their direction.
The originally gentle expression turned cold again, and Chen suddenly remembered the day he first met him during the entrance test.
The young man with a stern face stood at the edge of the test venue. He was the current deputy leader of the inspection team of the Longmen Guards Bureau, and was an old acquaintance of Shihuaiya. Chen saw him waiting for the end of the test for Shihuaiya at the edge of the venue. Shihuaiya had Talk and laugh.
She looked at them from a distance, suddenly feeling an inexplicable loss in her heart that she seemed to have missed something.
Chen looked at his retreating back.
Talk to yourself softly.
"Evil star...Chen Mo."
The Guards Bureau and Longmen privately called him this.
Evil Star ([-]): Evil Tiger
There is a rule circulating among the gangs and factions in the lower city of Longmen. There are two people who are by default not to be provoked by many gangs in Longmen. One is the recognized leader among the underground gangs and factions of Longmen, Wang Lin, and the other is Longmen. The current deputy leader of the inspection team of the Guards Bureau. People in Longmen, especially those who seek out sidemen, usually call him a poisonous tiger or... evil star.
The former of the two is very old and has not been involved in the disputes and trivial matters among the gangs in the lower city for many years. The latter, as you can tell from the names given to him by the gangs, is a guy who is not particular and does not play by common sense.
Even the gang bosses in the lower city are unwilling to provoke the superintendent for free. Perhaps the biggest reason is that the Anchor Gang that provoked him a few years ago was single-handedly smashed up, including the gang bosses from top to bottom. Dozens of horse boys were lying neatly at the entrance of the hall.
When the police officers from the Guards Bureau came, this police officer, who was not the deputy leader of the inspection team at the time, lit a cigarette and sat on the roadside steps covered in blood after calling the police.
In the words of the Guards Bureau, this man has too many cases and complaints to count. Suspension is a common occurrence for him. If it weren’t for joining the Guards Bureau, perhaps he would have been the leader of Longmenxiacheng District. It's time to change someone. If you think you can use Longmen's laws as a means to deal with this person, oh, he has a very classic saying, the Guards Bureau needs evidence to handle things, and he depends on his mood.
Usually when someone asks this sir for evidence, if he is in a good mood at the time, he might find a pen and write it to you. Logically speaking, a police officer with such a bad record should not be able to get ahead in the complex society of Longmen. , but it seems that Governor Longmen is very optimistic about this young man, so even if he has numerous criminal records, it cannot stop him from rising steadily.
The people of Longmen have figured it out. At least when the leader of Longmen City was still Wei Yanwu, it is no accident that this Sir will always be a serious problem for the Longmen gang.
There is a small shop on Temple Street in Longmenxiacheng District. The owner is a young Wolper. Her shop is located at the end of Temple Street. It is not the most prosperous area. The shop is not big and the decoration is in a strong Victorian style. There is a string of wind chimes hanging above the wooden glass door. When someone pushes the door in, the string of wind chimes will make a pleasant sound.
Chen Mo's car came directly to this place after leaving the crime scene in Xiacheng District. It was already dark when the car stopped. The time was 8:12 pm. There was a sign saying it was temporarily closed in front of the store, but the lights were still on inside. The shutters were drawn down and the scene inside the store was not visible.
He got out of the car and walked to the door of the store in the increasingly heavy rain.
Without any pause, he reached out and pushed open the store door. The wind chime dinged. He looked up and saw that the store was lit with gentle warm lights. There were several orchids hanging above the counter. There were no customers at this time. The retro wooden The seats were empty.
Looking around the store, Wolper was not sitting behind the counter in a daze as usual.
He closed the door and put the uniform jacket he was carrying on the back of the chair next to him.
The door to the kitchen was opened at this time. The soft sound of the door opened attracted his attention. Wolper came out of the kitchen wearing an apron. She had short orange shoulder-length hair, which was tied into a short hairstyle. She had a ponytail, a few strands of hair hanging down her neck, and her hands were stained with some white powder. It was not difficult to guess what she was doing before.
Seeing the man standing at the door, Walper was just stunned for a moment, and then Wolper smiled brightly.
"Hey, what kind of wind is this? It's blowing you here."
There was a little sarcasm in her words. She stood behind the counter at the door of the kitchen, her pointed ears twitching slightly with her smile.
Su Li.
This is the name of Wolper who is sitting opposite Chen Mo with his chin propped up and watching him eat. There is a stack of egg fried rice that is not very good at cooking, as well as an excited Wolper and the light is on but the cupboard is empty. Also a dessert shop.
Chen Mo always felt that she should hang a sign at the door. After all, she was more interested in opening this store than her career. If someone wanted to try some desserts, she would usually recommend others to check out other places. After all, she had never Time is spent in the kitchen.
If you ignore the cheap desserts she wholesales from other stores when she is in a good mood, of the products in this store are probably not made by this person.
But this did not hinder her unabashed good mood as she sat across from him with her legs crossed and her chin propped up.
"Another case?"
"In District [-], two fleeing suspects broke into the house and took a seven-year-old girl hostage."
"It's quite close. The other party is very difficult? Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to force you, the deputy leader of the inspection team, to take action personally."
"I happen to be nearby and have some connection with the dangerous elements who attacked Gate [-] a week ago. The inspection team has been chasing these people recently, but they are hiding very deep. No useful clues have been found yet." He said, stopping his chopsticks. , looking at Wolper opposite: "How much do you know?"
"How much do I know? The case of the Guard Bureau has nothing to do with a commoner like me."
"Otherwise I wouldn't have come here." He said, and repeated: "Sheng Dou Xiaomin."
Wolper paid no attention.
Their eyes met his briefly, and they both saw each other's reflection in each other's eyes, and it seemed as if something was already tacitly understood.
"Your reputation in downtown has never been very good," Wolper said casually.
"No need to save face for me." He did not continue the topic: "In the eyes of the people of Longmen, what good things have they said about me? Pi"
"I heard that some people are talking about you being Wei Yanwu's illegitimate son. Is this true?"
Wolper asked with interest, staring at his face, trying to see some waves on his face. As expected, his face was calm.
"False rumors, how do you know that Wei Yanwu and I have the slightest blood relationship."
"Otherwise, why would Wei Yanwu keep supporting you?"
"He's not holding up like me." He whispered, looking at the fox: "I thought you knew."
"Ah, it's that sentence again. It's just that there has never been anyone like you in the Longmen Guards Bureau, so Wei Yanwu is weighing the risks. From a side perspective, it's just that Longmen just needs you." Walper imitated a certain person. A tone of voice: "So that's what you said."
He nodded.
"Do you know how many people in Longmen are waiting to see your embarrassment?"
"I know more people are guessing when I will be put into the cell of the Guards Bureau. By the way, there is something I need your help with."
"Have I not helped you enough?"
"I suspect that those who attacked the third gate will have follow-up actions. You know that in the entire Longmen, only the slums are not under the jurisdiction of the Guards Bureau. The Guards Bureau's hands cannot reach the Rat King's territory."
"Do you suspect they are related to the Rat King?"
"No, the Rat King has a better way to do these things, but it may not have anything to do with the ghetto."
"Can you investigate on your own?"
"Ha, you said it yourself, my reputation in Xiacheng District is not very good. What do you think will happen if I enter the slums?" He said with a bit of self-mockery.
Wolper paused, seemed to think of something, and laughed.
"That's right, I'm afraid everyone will be in danger by then. From the moment you enter the slums, if there is even the slightest bit of news, countless pairs of eyes will be staring at you."
"so……"
"Okay, okay, I can do you this favor, but I can't guarantee that even if I have some contacts in the lower city, I may not be able to find the whereabouts of the people you mentioned, and it's just your guess. .”
"You came here specifically to tell me this?" Wolper changed the subject. She stared at the face of the man in front of her, then reached out and carefully smoothed the hair on his forehead: "I said you are in such a mess now. It looks like you don’t know how to take good care of it.”
"I'm used to it, it won't bother me."
"I recently got to know a thief from the Lower City. If you want to investigate things in the slums, she can be of some help."
"Oh?"
"She had bad luck and ran into my hand."
"It's time to hire an employee in your store."
"Let's make do with it."
Then he walked out of the store, accompanied by the sound of wind chimes and rain, and raindrops hitting his shoulders. When he got into the car and fastened his seat belt, he turned to look at the door of the store. Walper stood at the open store door and looked at the driver's seat quietly. Location.
The rain was heavier than before, forming a curtain of water in front of the car window. The faint sound of the wipers was accompanied by the sound of raindrops hitting the car body.
He waved his hand through the car window.
Wolper smiled and shook his head slightly. He didn't stop any longer. It wasn't until the car broke through the rain and drove into the gantry rainy night that Wolper finally looked away as the car disappeared into the depths of the rainy night.
She sighed softly, returned to the store, closed the door, and looked at the ringing wind chimes in thought for a few seconds. After a few seconds, Wolper stood up on tiptoes and reached out to take off the wind chimes hanging at the door.
The time is 9:40pm
The car drove through the streets of Xiacheng District on a rainy night in Longmen. It had not yet entered the main road with more traffic. It was still half a city drive from Taipu District where he lived.
From Xiacheng District, where Temple Street is located, to Taipu, which is located at the junction of Zhongcheng District and Shangcheng District, you need to drive on the City Ring Elevated Highway, and then pass through No. [-] Avenue in Zhongshui District until you have passed a small part of Zhongshui District and Zhongcheng District. Arrive at Qilong Apartment in Tai Po.
In the night, Longmen is extremely quiet except for the sound of rain. After driving on the elevated highway, you can see from the car window the reflection of the bustling city reflected on the surface of the artificial river in the center. Through the hazy curtain of rain, those charming light and mist fold into a gorgeous shape. It became hazy again with the overhead lights that continued to pass through the car.
Longmen is a large and prosperous mobile city. It is impossible to say where it will stay or where it will pass. This behemoth running across the earth is inhabited by the life and death of countless people. And as time goes by, the life of Longmen and the people of Longmen have long been integrated into it. Every corner of their bodies and minds.
When the cell phone rang, his vehicle was driving through the Gantry elevated highway. There was not much traffic on the elevated highway. Maybe it was because of the rainy night. People in Longmen didn’t like to go out at this time. Occasionally, a vehicle would pass by at a very fast speed. Driving by at a high speed, he was probably busy with something and in a hurry.
The life of Longmen people can't be called busy, but it can't be called leisurely either.
Shi Huaiya's number was one of the earliest contacts stored in this phone. From the time he met her to when he came back from Victoria and suddenly found that the crybaby in his childhood had changed into a different person, a lot of time had passed. It's almost ten years old.
Many people and things have changed in these ten years.
"where?"
She didn't have any politeness, and her straight-to-the-point approach surprised those who knew her, but for Chen Mo, it had become a habit.
"Elevated No. [-]."
"You didn't go home?" The voice on the phone was a little surprised.
"No, I went to meet a friend and am on my way back."
"I heard that there was a kidnapping case in the [-]th District this afternoon. You were also present at the time."
"I passed that way."
"Powdersaurus and Star Bear are here too."
"What does Fenguosaurus mean?"
"Chen La, that annoying Chen, I told you about it."
He recalled for a while, and vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen the person Shi Huaiya mentioned before leaving.
"You mean Chief Wei's niece, the newcomer under Jiu Shou, well, I did see the two of them, her and Sister Gui." He said.
On the phone, Shi Huaiya started to gnash her teeth again and complain about the grievances and resentments between herself and the cold Chen. Chen Mo only felt that Feilin, who made a special trip to call her to complain about another person, seemed to care a little too much about Chen.
"I have said so much, how can you [$
Ms. Shi, who finally stopped complaining, began to point her finger at another person.
"I think what you said makes sense."
"Oh, that annoying Chen. When I met her in the corridor when I was in the Guards Bureau, she would stare at her fiercely, which made me start to wonder if I had done something wrong! Didn't I just... feel a little like it? Take over the Guards Bureau."
"Betty, do you feel that you are paying too much attention to Chen in your mouth?" he asked suddenly.
"Is there...is there?"
"A little."
"..."
The girl on the phone didn't answer, and it took a while for her voice to ring.
"Forget about her, how long will it take for you to come back? I'm standing at the door of your house now. Really, why don't you tell me in advance when you are outside? I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
In an instant, a knee struck Luper's abdomen, and then a hand clamped down on Luper's wrist as he tried to fight back. Then there was a snapping sound, and his entire shoulder was dislocated and pulled down.
Kuranta only had time to pick up his short crossbow, but before he could take aim, the flames swept up from the top of the cigarette that fell to the ground.
In the sudden incident, the demolition team on standby took immediate action. The walls on both sides collapsed during the directional blasting. The rappelling assaulters from above broke through the window and quickly controlled the two people.
The little film girl stood in the middle of the police officers surrounding the entire apartment in a few seconds. She suddenly felt【}
