"Report!" Zheng Yi stood outside the door of the director's office, standing tall and saluting.

"Come in and sit down, Xiao Zheng, we don't have so many rules. Johnson sat behind his desk, pulled a finger-thick cigar out of a drawer and tapped it on the table, "Do you want one?"

Zheng Yi hesitated for a second, and then walked straight to Johnson and sat down: "No, thank you." I don't smoke. ”

Johnson raised an eyebrow and said nothing. As soon as the lighter "ding", the tight tobacco burned and curled in the faint blue flames, and with a mouthful of thick fog spewed out, the fatigue on the director's face was finally relieved.

"It's been a busy two days. Journalists, newspapers, a bunch of blood-sucking flies. You know, I haven't had this situation in my jurisdiction for more than a decade, and it's good that my pension is in danger again. The director scratched his scalp: "By the way, I heard that you took the initiative to apply for a transfer to us?"

"Yes. Zheng Yi nodded.

"This [Han Fei] you are talking about, this is the first time I have heard of this name. The director put the cigar aside and flipped through the stack of materials next to him: "At least there are no related cases in the existing files in Rain City. Is there any relevant information to share with the imperial capital?"

"No, it's a blank slate. ”

"Oh?" Johnson was stunned, "What about ......"

In fact, there have been no less than five similar cases in the Dragon District, but because there are no eyewitnesses, no suspects, and even no surveillance video, there are no clues worth pursuing, so the police in the imperial capital had to file the case file in a hurry. Even the name [Han Fei] was only derived from urban legends. Zheng Yi shrugged helplessly. "I'm afraid I'm the only detective who is still investigating this case in the Dragon District. ”

Isn't this just being degraded?

"With all due respect, Sergeant Zheng. Johnson looked a little unkind: "In that case, why are you still so attached to an ethereal character who only exists in urban legends, isn't this a waste of your time?"

"It's simple, Director. ”

Zheng Yi raised his hand to untie his tie and opened the neckline, allowing the chest hidden under the shirt to enter Johnson's sight: "I have faced this ethereal urban legend five times alone. For the first time, I was an eyewitness. The last three times, I was the pursuer. For the last time, I was a survivor. This is the souvenir he left for me. ”

Johnson stared at the horrible scars for a long time and asked, "Your boss didn't say anything about it?" "Yes, he thought I was crazy to make a meritorious service, and he made a fake target out of gasoline and iron hooks, and he was going to send me to a mental hospital. So much so that when I applied to be transferred to this bureau, he immediately agreed. Zheng Yi buttoned up and tied his tie again. "I knew I wasn't crazy, and I knew for sure after watching the video that the owner of that mask was the demon who almost drove me to the brink. ”

"Director, according to the previous cases, although the identities and occupations are different, the victims are all people of different races. Zheng Yi took out a few photos from his coat and put them in front of Director Johnson: "These young people who are trying to integrate into human society have all died under the butcher's knife of that bastard, but because of their alien status, no one takes it seriously, but I will definitely not sit idly by." Judging from his movements, I am afraid that he is no longer satisfied with hunting and killing the alien races scattered in the outer city, and his target has shifted to this place - the largest gathering place of the alien race, the rain city with as many as 40 million people. Today's incident is just the beginning, and if we don't make every effort to arrest this person, the consequences will be unimaginable! Once, I had a lot of clues and almost captured him, but I fought alone and almost lost my life, but now, if the director can give me trust and provide me with assistance, this person will definitely fall into the legal net!"

"Hmm......" Johnson frowned, his gaze swept over the photos on the table.

Seeing that the director still didn't make a decision, Zheng Yi gritted his teeth, leaned over and whispered, "There is one more thing, Director." Fifteen years ago, there was a [Bloodstained Holy Capital Incident] I don't know if you still remember?"

Hearing these six words, Director Johnson's face instantly became suspicious: "You, you mean ......" "That's right, I deduce that Han Fei is the main culprit in the incident fifteen years ago, whether it is the modus operandi, the style of action or the degree of ferocity, it is the same, after many years, he finally can't hold back his bloodthirsty desire to strike again." ”

The Holy Capital Bloodbath, which occurred in the Holy Vatican, swept the number of victims in the four figures, including dozens of high-ranking members of the imperial government, several popes were killed, and even rumored that the Pope himself was almost attacked. On that day, the blood soaked every brick crack of the Holy Capital, and even the Great Cross, a holy relic symbolizing the supreme divine power, was dimmed, and the cruelty of the means was indeed quite similar to the evil of this "Han Fei" now.

Zheng Yi lowered his body and said further: "Also, if things develop further, I'm afraid that the people of [Ring] will intervene, if the director can catch this thug who is burdened with a shocking case before [Ring] takes over...... If you report it to the emperor, maybe you will be knighted by His Royal Highness at the ceremony, and at that time, our police community will have to raise our eyebrows in front of the [Ring]. ”

"This ......" Johnson's eyes flashed with a calculated light, and the pros and cons of gains and losses were being repeatedly deduced in his mind. However, Zheng Yi could see that he had been moved.

"Alright then, this matter will be handled by you, and if necessary, you can mobilize the police force below the senior sergeant in the bureau at will. The director put the cigar back in his mouth, stood up and stretched out his right hand: "Hopefully, with our cooperation, this person can be brought to justice in my jurisdiction." ”

"Thank you, Director, it's a good feeling to regain your trust. Zheng Yi stood up in the smoke and excitedly shook Johnson's hand: "But Director, to digress, smoking is really bad for health." ”

Johnson was stunned for a moment as he swallowed his cigar, then burst out laughing, only to see a lime-like cyan smear smearing on his arm, and Zheng Yiden felt that the hand he was holding had become cold, rough and hard. "This kind of thing, you humans should really pay attention to it, but this thing of disease has nothing to do with our gargoyle clan, I'm afraid only moss can make us depressed for a while, hahahahahahahahaha

"I see, it's me who is too talkative. Zheng Yi withdrew his hand with a smile: "Then Director, the task is heavy, so I'll go out first." "Very good, I'll see Xiao Zheng when I go back." ”

The door closed, Johnson happily smoked his cigar, the blueprint for the future that Sheriff Cheng had brought him really moved his heart for a while, and it had been a long time since a human could give him such a feeling.

Well?

Thinking of this, suddenly, Johnson seemed to remember something. So, he threw away his cigar and pulled out a yellowed note with a phone number in the bottom drawer. Then, he sat up straight and dialed the phone.

"Hey, hello, ah, is it Brienne? yes, I have something to find Mr. Xuan......"
