Chapter 43: Countdown

Qiufeng District is the most important administrative area of the Second Ring Road of Shiqian City, and considering that most of the headquarters of the municipal government are also in this area, it is not wrong to say that it is the most important district of Shiqian City.

Among the various bizarre buildings on the famous 111 Office Avenue, the pitch-black giant auditorium-style building is also divided into eye-catching.

At this time, in one of the conference halls of the Black Auditorium, a meeting that sounded boring, but was actually more boring, had entered the second half...... In other words, the leaders are finally finishing issuing their guiding opinions, and according to the process, the persons in charge of the case have begun to report the intelligence and are ready to get down to business.

“......... I know that you are probably very irritated about the 'decapitator' case, but in fact, we have not made any progress for more than half a year, and as the eyes of society continue to focus, every new case is laughing at our incompetence......."

On the stage, the foreign minister who was still wearing the Order of the White Rooster, who was the nominal head of the task force, was making a concluding speech at this time.

He talked endlessly above, but few people below listened seriously, and he didn't care, as a diplomat, he had long been accustomed to all kinds of self-talk.

It is worth mentioning that there are several versions of the white chicken badge, when the city was moved to build in the past, the cartoon chicken was cute and cute, and it was faintly roasted with color....... Some foreign affairs officials laugh at themselves, in the general environment of the whole world, it really doesn't matter if the city is weak, don't take yourself and the so-called dignity too seriously and cause trouble.

There was a period when the white rookie, just looking at the physical signs, was a dove of peace, and there was an olive branch in the corner of his mouth.

War? Don't dare, let's talk about everything, it's a big deal that we will let us go in business, and you won't dare to invade our central city anyway.

Wronged outside, and your interests have been damaged? If you can find a brother city, you can find it, but others are not open a good church, and the exchange of interests is inevitable, so you can't hold it back and remember it.

It is said that those diplomats back then had a small notebook full of names and events, and what they were best at was smirking and taking deep breaths.

In this version, the curved arc of the bird's horns, as well as the sharp eyes, and the eyes that provoke trouble, are not so much chickens as war eagles, and the specific style of action probably goes without saying....... Ahem, in foreign affairs, according to the current situation and changes in their own strength, the attitude and methods of diplomats are completely different from before.

But even now, it is a rather absurd thing for a senior foreign official to take charge of a criminal case.

Cause? That's the Attel who sits at this table.

Skipodar, the deputy ambassador of the Attel Mission, is seeking justice for himself and the seven deceased members of the Ambassadorial Corps.

Just a day earlier, on the street outside the embassy, in full view of everyone, he had stuffed a huge silver rib into the box of vows and set the time to count down to thirty days.

This kind of secret treasure chest with subspace capacity is used to keep diplomatic secrets, and only the person who closes it can open the chest, and as long as the time set on it comes to an end, the contents will disappear into the subspace.

"Instead of being regarded as a useless treasure that was burned by the 'thief', it is better to release it as a bargaining chip for pressure, and if the time limit is up, the case will still not be solved....... We don't lose much, what is sad will only be the time to move the city, and one less piece of the material of this level of god is a permanent loss. ”

It is unlikely that someone who can be a diplomat is a fool, and this sudden action is obviously a clever move.

Although he didn't say a word, the relevant departments undoubtedly felt the pressure, and only then did he have this "decapitator task force" established at a high speed.

Diplomats in charge? Oh, obviously to appease the deputy ambassador, the real case still depends on the secret police.

Since the beginning of the meeting, the ambassador has sat in his place without saying a word, and his very existence is a pressure, and it stands to reason that he should not be involved in such internal affairs, but he ......

"God's ribs, there should be more than one, I'm born in a famous family, and I have a lot of ways to go home."

At that time, many people were surged with murderous intent...... But the previous oath box worked again, and when he died, the divine bone in the city was really gone, and this guy had already insured his life.

In diplomacy, the most fearful thing is that one side is controlled by others, while the other side wants nothing else.

To make matters worse, Skipodar was a sophisticated diplomat who was adept at using the conditions at hand.

"If the case is successfully solved, I will also fulfill the last wish of the head of the regiment and sell this material to you."

Whether this is true or not is doubtful, but at least for now, he has succeeded in getting the Shiqian City officials to protect him with all their might.

As he got there, the local security forces had to keep up, and many people were sick and sick....... He must have applied for his own people's backup, and as long as the large army came, he would be completely safe.

As for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is rarely deflated in this era, does it have any intention of tossing outsiders with boring government affairs...... The success of the toss is not unknown to the foreigners, but the participants in other departments are almost unbearable.

The top was still talking, and another half an hour was wasted, and when the foreign minister finally stopped, not to mention the relief of the participants below, even the Alt Skipodar also leaked a little relief.

“....... It's not a meat man, there's a lot of water. ”

The weird whispers made the people below chuckle constantly, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

The chiefs left their seats one by one, and when they had wasted three or four hours and it was almost dark, they could finally get down to business.

As the direct person in charge of this case, Xie Ying turned his head directly and said to his colleagues around him.

“....... Since the Wei Division asked you to come, does it mean that you will represent the Nine Divisions in this case? I thought it would be a more experienced veteran, is this the dominance of the nine of you who have expressed their stance abandoning the investigation....... Forget it, I'll contact you Wei later, and confirm the situation. ”

Is this a rookie to your face? Hearing Director Xie's merciless evaluation, Hu Yisaki, who participated in the meeting temporarily, immediately became unhappy.

But remembering that the other party is a well-known iron eagle in the discipline inspection, and he is an old qualification to do this job before he was born, and he does have the qualifications to evaluate himself, Hu Yisaki can only hold his breath and prepare to prove his strength with actions.

After that, there was an exchange of information, and copies of various documents and photographs were distributed to all participants.

But just by looking at it, Tiger Issaki really doubted whether he was qualified to participate in this case, which was definitely not something that could be solved with his fists.

The victims of the last report are not all of them at all. There are only two returnee ironmen in the news, and that's because these two have to be reported, and the real death toll in one day is nine.

Only four of them were depleted of spiritual energy and met the conditions for a demon blade attack, and the other five were simply imitators, if they had not suddenly changed the way they committed the murder.

In fact, the police judged that all four of them must have been copycats, and they may even be all copycats.

After all, the places where the crime occurred were too far away to fly back and forth.

The information also shows that the number of "decapitators" has increased significantly, with several cases appearing every day, and several have been arrested.

Some are imitators who really worship the decapitator, and some are just taking advantage of the chaos to do nonsense, feeling that since the police can't catch the decapitator, they can't catch him........ Even if these guys were basically arrested on the same day, there were more and more follow-ups.

Even the official media was hesitant to broadcast such cases, and criminal investigation experts finally suggested not broadcasting to avoid more copycats.

"That long-winded uncle is not wrong. If we can't catch the real murderer for a day, our prestige and ability to solve crimes will be questioned, which will shake the law and order stability of the entire city. ”

"Boom."

At this time, the only ministerial-level official left, Vice Minister Liu of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, slammed the table with a teacup cap, attracting the attention of all the participants.

"Within twenty days, the case must be solved, this is the meaning of the above."

Simple words, calm tone, it is indeed a huge pressure that is not discounted, Xie Ying frowned, this task time limit is a bit excessive.

"Minister Liu, it's not that I personally discount the conditions, but there were no clues in this case before, and now there are so many copycats and imitation cases, the water is completely mixed, there are too many fake fish, and it is very difficult in 20 days. Even if it's to satisfy the demands of that alien race........ We can talk to him about it, and delay it for a while, at least two months. ”

It was another criminal investigation expert who spoke, and he couldn't take this military order.

Hearing this, Minister Liu smiled wryly, didn't he know how pitiful this task was, didn't he see that other vice ministers didn't come to the meeting.

"It's not that box, although the contents of that box are really important, and the R&D department sends an inquiry letter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day, and their ministers are almost dependent on us not to leave. Ahem, the point is that in twenty days, it will be the end of the year, and this year is another triennial tournament year. According to the custom, the high-level leaders of the outer ring and other nearby big cities and neutral powers will come here to watch the game and look for good seedlings. Do you think we can afford a homicide at this time, or if someone at the top suddenly loses his head? Guys, this is not a criminal case for a long time, it is a political one. ”

Well, as long as diplomacy and politics are involved, the situation is a hundred times more complicated in an instant.

Xie Ying opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

With so many years of work experience, he also knows that when his superiors give iron orders, it is completely useless to justify anything.

After Minister Liu finished speaking, he recorded the list of members of the task force, and then got up with the document bag and withdrew.

What else to say, bury your head in it, if you can't do it, you can take the blame one by one.

The people who are still present now are all real veterans of criminal investigation, and after exchanging information with sad faces, they will act separately....... As long as the mole is not investigated for a day, large-scale cooperation in handling cases is still unrealistic, and it is a tacit understanding that the group fights separately.

Xie Ying was also about to get up and leave, but looking at Hu Yisaki, who was busy sorting out documents on the side, he also sighed helplessly.

"This old Wei, who is slippery enough, must have heard the wind and let the young man take the blame......."

Xie Ying himself doesn't care, he has long been deeply involved in it, even if he has to be held accountable in the end, as the head of the region, he has no big problem, at most he will be suspended for half a year and go home for reflection, and it can also be regarded as an unpaid vacation.

It's this tiger Yisaki, obviously sold by his superiors, pitted, and it is estimated that he can't find anyone to report his work when he goes back, and most of the people who find him say, "You look at this, and you are responsible for the tasks you take."

She has no criminal investigation ability and work experience at all, and if the time limit is up, she can't provide some useful information, and it won't be useful at all.

If you really take zero eggs, at that time, an evaluation of unfavorable work and lack of ability is at least, which can be called a devastating blow to the future of young people who are just starting out.

Little Tiger had already called his boss, but sure enough, no one answered, and he was at a loss when he sat in his seat, and he was about to cry aggrieved.

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Ying finally said more.

"The girl of the Tiger family, they are all in the same department, let's get together and exchange information again."

Immediately, Hu Yisaki was overjoyed, she was not stupid, she knew that this was an old-timer who wanted to help her.

After going out, sure enough, Xie Ying didn't mention any nonsense about intelligence exchange, and directly had a clear goal, chatting while walking.

"I entrusted this case to a civilian criminal investigation expert, heh, although he is not very old, he is recognized as one of the top ten criminal investigation experts in the city. You can follow him and be a thug, even if it's just a few more copycats, it won't make your grades ruined. ”

Hu Yisaki nodded all the way, this is a kind-hearted nobleman, no wonder I heard that Director Xie's style is obviously super iron-blooded, but the reputation within the agency is very good.

"He is my junior brother, although he only has two blades, but his personal strength is still good, you don't have to worry about his safety, that is, you have to be careful of his character....... Ahem. He is now a civilian person, and he doesn't need credit, and he won't compete with you. I'm confident in him, and if he can't, I don't think anyone in the city will be able to do it. ”

"Uh-huh, I'll listen to the experts, can I just be a thug?"

may have suffered a loss in the past two days, and Hu Yisaki's attitude was extremely well-behaved, but unfortunately, this kind of well-behaved only lasted for twenty minutes, until she met the "junior brother".

The man was sitting bored in a roadside café with a bag of ...... on the coffee table Own nails!

"Yo, the fourth time you met unexpectedly, right? We're really fated to be. ”

"Hey, you know? That's better, Zheng Li, anyway, you're bringing a rabbit now, bringing a newcomer is to bring it, and it's the same with two, during this case, bring this little girl. ”

"I....... I'm fighting with you! Return my nails! ”

Such an angry roar was on his lips, but he still swallowed it.

On the way here, she secretly recorded the situation and sent it to her old policeman relative, Uncle Erde, who replied quickly, directly "This is your life-saving straw, and you have to catch it desperately", which is in line with her own judgment.

The pretty face was already tense, and the tail was so angry that it stood up to the sky, but she still took a deep breath and eased up.

"This junior brother of Director Xie, we all had a misunderstanding before, and we were also unlucky in the event, if there is anything offended, I apologize."

"Ah, have you offended me?"

In an instant, Hu Yisaki knew why Xie Ying's expression was so subtle when he mentioned the character of this junior brother.

The little face was already distorted with anger, and she still gritted her teeth and forcibly calmed her anger.

"Heh, it's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have it, it's just a misunderstanding. For the next twenty days, let's get along. ”

Looking at the tiger girl's obviously aggrieved and breathless appearance, Xie Ying covered her head, and didn't want to ask anything more, anyway, the people who have known Zheng Li for a long time have been together, and many meetings have become this virtue.

"Okay, I know you're poor, so three months of nails are fine. Oh, even the socks are super cheap for one yuan and ten pairs, and the nail polish smells of paint, which is really miserable. Girls should be kind to themselves! ”

"I ...... The old lady fought with you! I'm not a pauper! ”

Finally, the tigress is still a tigress, and she still can't help it..... But what is the difference between the result and the previous one?

Sitting in a familiar position, gently stroking the fluffy tail, Zheng Li happily exchanged information with Xie Ying.

However, this damn thirty and twenty double countdown made him a little headache too.

"Twenty days? With such a large city and such a large flow of people, even if it can be opened, it will be too late. ”

"Do your best to secure your destiny."

Xie Ying is free and easy, he also knows that the situation is so complicated now, unless the other party takes the initiative to make a mistake, it is unlikely that there will be progress in a short period of time.

But Zheng Li shook his head.

"Heh, this case is clearly politicized, and from the beginning I didn't believe it was a purely criminal case. No, from the very beginning, he came for the dignitaries who visited the competition. ”

Sure enough, this check took 20 days to check, and still found nothing.

And on the twenty-first day, the first dignitary who was killed appeared.
