Chapter 2 The Disappearing Guns

The next day, Xingchen struggled to open his eyes and looked at the alarm clock, it was already past seven o'clock in the morning.

She stepped out of bed, came to the window, and gently pushed it open.

A cool morning breeze swept across her face, and she took a deep breath of fresh air, and the morning wind still had a little earthy fragrance in it, which made her feel refreshed.

Looking at everything outside the window, Xingchen smiled slightly, as if all the bad things of yesterday could be forgotten in an instant.

Xingchen is such a cheerful character, and no matter how complicated the work is, he won't take it too seriously.

After a quick wash, she walked briskly downstairs.

At this time, my mother was already busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen, and my father was sitting quietly on the sofa reading the newspaper, the sunlight outside the window poured in, just casting on my father's body, the stars couldn't help but stand still, looking at Dad's face in the sun, handsome, warm, this is her favorite picture to see every day, Mom and Dad are around, a quiet scene of the years.

Xingchen smiled and greeted, "Good morning, Mom and Dad!" ”

"Morning, little one." Mom and Dad responded together.

"How? Does the wound still hurt? Dad put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at the stars with warm eyes.

Xingchen hurriedly shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt for a long time!"

"Hurry up for breakfast, there's your favorite egg muffin." Mom walked out of the kitchen with a muffin.

As soon as Xingchen heard that there were muffins to eat, his eyes lit up and he sat down at the table happily.

"Wow, that's great, I'm really hungry." Without further ado, Xingchen picked up a piece of muffin and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing Xingchen so happy, her parents smiled heartily, and then sat down at the table together.

At this time, Dad thought of something, so he said to Xingchen: "By the way, Xiaoyi, there is something I want to tell you." ”

Xingchen took a sip of milk and responded, "Well, what's the matter?" ”

"Do you remember your mother's good friend, Aunt Cheng Jing?"

Xingchen picked up the second egg muffin and took a big bite, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, of course I remember, that's my mother's best friend!" And she's a professor at the same school, what's wrong with her? ”

"That's the case, in a few days, she is going to take her son back to China, speaking of which the child is only one year older than you, but he is very similar to you, he is now a criminal police officer in the British Interpol Central Bureau, and he is also very well-known in the British criminal police circle, I think you and he are the same age, there should be a lot of common topics, and you will have a tacit understanding of handling cases together, so I am ready to transfer him back to China and partner with you, what do you think?"

Dad said a bunch of things, but Xingchen only cared about himself and ate breakfast in a hurry, thinking about last night's gun smuggling case, and she didn't respond to Dad's inquiries immediately.

Seeing that Xingchen didn't answer, Dad asked again: "Little One, what do you think?" ”

Xingchen only listened to half of it, and when she saw her father asking her, she suddenly reacted-

"Huh? Oh, you said Aunt Cheng Jing's son, is he going back to China to work, that's good, invite him to come to our house to play when the time comes. Oh no, I have to go, I have to interrogate the suspect arrested last night, don't eat it, I'll leave my parents first! ”

Xingchen said, grabbing a muffin from his plate and trotting out of the house.

Dad looked at the direction in which Xingchen went out, and said helplessly, "This kid, did you hear what I was saying?" ”

"I don't think I heard it at all......" Mom laughed, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.

On the way to the police station, Xingchen always had an inexplicable feeling in her heart, as if something was going to happen, and she was a little uneasy along the way.

When she arrived at the police station, she calmed down and relaxed before entering the office.

"Good morning, stars!" When Werther saw the stars coming, he stepped forward and beckoned.

Xingchen smiled and greeted Werther as well.

"It's early today."

"yes, I can't let go of yesterday's case in my heart, how is it, is there any news of guns?" Xingchen desperately wanted to know how the case was going last night.

"Well, I was about to tell you, I didn't expect the suspect to be recruited so easily, and the guns were at the bottom of that river."

"What, at the bottom of the river?" Xingchen was puzzled by this answer.

"Yes, the smugglers have a good idea, they have a box with guns and a smuggling boat with a rope, and if they can get out of the city, the guns will be taken out. But if the ship is wrecked, it doesn't matter, they will salvage the guns after we leave. ”

When Xingchen heard this, he secretly felt bad in his heart, "It turns out that they have already prepared a plan to break the kettle, so isn't our arrest in vain?" ”

Witt hurriedly reassured Xingchen, "Don't worry, it's not in vain, because, if their boat is destroyed, someone will have to notify the gang to salvage the guns, and now, the person who joined the joint is in our bureau, so the guns should still be at the bottom of the river." ”

Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, "I see, then let's go and see it now." ”

"Well, we are preparing to wait for you to come and go together, I don't know if the suspect will give us false information, his confession has a lot of doubts."

"Suspicious?" Xingchen thought for a moment and continued, "Then, I'll go meet this person first. ”

"Okay." Vet nodded, and took Xingchen to the interrogation room.

When I came to the interrogation room, I saw the suspect sitting on a chair with handcuffs, but there was no fear on his face, but a trace of disdain in his eyes.

Xingchen was a little surprised, she sat down opposite the suspect, and when she saw that the other party still had an indifferent expression, she asked, "You don't seem to be scared at all?" ”

"Hmph, I have nothing to be afraid of. Now that you're in, I'm at your disposal. The man threw out a sentence.

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point, where are the guns?"

"I said it all yesterday, and I don't want to waste any more words. If you don't believe me, you can go to the bottom of the river and find it yourself. ”

The suspect seems to have said this on purpose. Xingchen was even more puzzled, would he summon the whereabouts of the gun so easily? Could it be a trap?

She then asked, "But there are accomplices?" ”

The suspect glanced at the stars contemptuously and said, "Do you think I'll tell you?" Little police officer? ”

With that, he turned his head to the side, ignoring the stars.

Xingchen and Werther glanced at each other and motioned for him to go out and talk.

The two of them came out of the interrogation room, and Witt immediately asked Xingchen, "How is it?" ”

Xingchen crossed his hands in front of his chest and said thoughtfully, "He seems to have said this on purpose......"

Vista nodded in agreement, but he didn't say any more, just wanted to continue listening to Xingchen's opinion, but Xingchen didn't say anything more.

"I think, whether it's true or not, we'll just have to go and see it. Captain, let's go together. Xingchen suggested.

"Well, that's exactly what I wanted." Then, Witte mobilized a group of police officers and salvage teams, and immediately rushed to the river on the outskirts of the city.

Once again, the river returned to its former calm, except for a few more fragments of debris on the surface of the river, which were left by the smuggling boat last night.

A group of people walked to the river one after another, and Xingchen looked at the river, thought about it carefully, and said to Wertherβ€”

"The river doesn't flow very fast, and I don't think the box will be washed too far."

"Well, then let's start salvaging as soon as possible." Witt continued.

"Okay, right in this area." Xingchen pointed to the location of the ship's explosion last night and ordered the salvage crew to start working.

Within an hour, the metal sensing instrument sensed the location of the gun, and then a search was conducted, and in a short time the specific location of the wooden box containing the gun was found.

The salvage work was completed relatively smoothly.

As soon as the box came out of the water, the stars stared at it as if it would disappear. When the crane lowered the box to the riverbank, a group of people surrounded it.

I saw that this was a boxy wooden box, all the planks were still refreshing wood color, relatively new, there was no sign on the box, it was tightly sealed, and several people took a lot of effort to open the box.

Fortunately, the river did not enter the box, and the guns were intact.

Xingchen was a little more careful, there were surprisingly large numbers, she picked up one of them, looked at the shiny metal shell, and couldn't help but sigh: "Shaying, the goods are good." ”

Werther looked at the guns, marveling at their number, and gasped, his beer belly shrinking.

"However, this gun is not very useful." Xingchen said, putting the gun back in the box.

"Still, the number of guns is worth the risk."

"Well, that's right."

After the count, Captain Witt ordered everyone to withdraw and return to the game.

Just as the teams were about to close the team, something incredible happened-

A white light suddenly appeared in the sky, and before everyone could react to what was happening, the light had already enveloped the wooden box containing the guns.

Seeing this, Xingchen didn't know what was going on, but she quickly ran to the wooden box and protected it with both hands, but as soon as her hand touched the wooden box, it was like an electric shock, and she immediately retracted her hand, and in an instant her hand was numb.

A group of people suddenly busied.

The beam of light quickly disappeared, but when I looked at the wooden box, it disappeared as the beam disappeared.

Such a box of guns disappeared without a trace in front of everyone's eyes.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Xingchen's heart suddenly felt uneasy, and an invisible sense of oppression hit him.

She looked up at the sky suddenly, but was pierced by a sudden bright light, and Xingchen hurriedly blocked her eyes with her hands.

But there was a faint voice in my heart: "You can't take my things......"

Xingchen thought it was a hallucination, and froze motionless.

"Are you alright, Xingchen?" It turned out that Werther was already standing beside her, looking at her worriedly.

Xingchen slowed down before replying, "Uh, I'm okay Captain." ”

"What was going on just now?"

"I don't know......" Xingchen shook his head, and looked around carefully, and there was indeed no sign of the wooden box.

"Attention to the teams, immediately go around and look for the wooden box." Witt commanded. All the officers dispersed to find the vanished wooden box.

Xingchen wanted to confirm the voice just now, and hurriedly asked Werther, "Captain, did you hear anything just now?" ”

"Voice? What was that? Werther looked at the stars blankly.

"Did you hear that voice saying, 'You can't take my stuff'?"

Witt was a little puzzled, "I didn't hear it, are you sure that voice says that?" ”

"Hmm!" Xingchen nodded affirmatively.

Witt didn't know what to say, so he could only look at the stars in a daze.

And the stars are even more puzzled, is this really an illusion? She looked up at the sky again, and by this time the sky had returned to calm, and she was suddenly a little overwhelmed......

The teams searched all the surrounding areas where the boxes might be hidden, but found nothing.

Xingchen couldn't help but be a little annoyed

The search was unsuccessful, there was really no way, all the personnel returned to the police station like headless flies, and Xingchen was even more angry, and he didn't say anything along the way.
