Chapter 1119: Cold Rain (1)
Close to the windy city in the far north, even if it rains in summer, it is extremely cold.
The whole Windy City was covered in heavy rain, just on the night when the battle was about to begin. Before the sun had completely set, the whole city was already in darkness, and the clouds hung over the city, and the faint thunder sounded in the clouds, like a sigh and a low groan.
Yuan Ming and Gong Shanzhi stood at the window and looked at the weather outside the window, the lights on the side of the road were still on, and even the residential areas were kept brightly lit, and the energy shield protected most of the houses, creating an illusion that the city was still the same.
But in fact, there are no more residents in these houses, and all the remnants of the Far North of Windy City have been sent to secret shelters, where they are located in several underground facilities near the entrance to Windy City. All the forces of the 1st Regiment of the Far North Army were guarded at the entrance to the shelter.
This arrangement is to confuse the aliens, perhaps the origin knows their arrangement, but the aliens certainly don't know. This was all done before the aliens entered the Windy City. At present, the only known source of information from the alien race is Wu Qi's communication, and the residents also avoided the hospital where Wu Qi was located when they were transferred.
In fact, An Xiaoyu still hopes to see someone report to Wu Qi, so that she can see who is the dark line of origin. It's a pity that until nightfall, no one appeared in Wu Qi's ward, and it seems that the origin is not intended to start from a foreign race.
Of course, if An Xiaoyu herself was the dark line of origin, she would not choose this path. Even if Wu Qi was told of the arrangements of the Far Northern Army, the alien race would not necessarily retreat. These guys are a bunch of reckless men, and they won't believe that the Empire is planning to calculate them, and they will stubbornly believe that they are the ones who have repelled the Far North.
However, the plan was as usual anyway, and An Xiaoyu did not take action. This time, the plans were all made by Wang Zhen and Fusheng, and she and Ben did not interfere. She also has a feeling that there may be some actions by Guan Jue, from the fact that she sent a message to Guan Jue to come over, until now he has not appeared, to say that this poisonous snake has not done anything, An Xiaoyu must not believe it, he must be prepared for something.
Then, the cold rain fell.
It was a bone-chilling rain, and from the moment it fell, the temperature in the entire Windy City dropped almost to zero. Rainwater falls from the sky with ice particles the size of water droplets, hitting buildings with a "crackling" sound, and gathering together in a mess.
An Xiaoyu finally knew why the wall skin of Windy City was so new, such sleet and hail, spring, summer and autumn would come, and the wall skin of any material would not be able to stand it a few more times, if it was not renovated, I am afraid that it would not be many years before the bricks inside would be knocked out, and then the entire building would not be able to withstand for many years.
Sitting cross-legged under the water tank in the hospital, listening to the noisy sound in her ears, An Xiaoyu closed her eyes, but her spirit was more nervous than ever. She knew that if something really happened, then tonight was definitely the best time, and she couldn't use her feelings, she could only concentrate at any time and feel the changes in the whole city.
When the aliens saw this heavy rain, they were all happy. The countless alien races hidden in the corner seemed to have found their own home, looking at the cold rain outside, breathing the cold air, feeling that their whole body had been surrounded by the rain, hiding their figures.
The soldiers of the Far North Army used the rain cover of their whole body to block the heavy rain outside, and countless people raised their heads and looked at this gloomy and increasingly dark sky, feeling that the atmosphere of the entire city began to be depressed, even the remnants of the Far North who were hiding in the shelter.
In the middle of the night, the aliens finally got into action.
There were only two people left in the entire office, Wang Zhen and Miao Yu, Yuan Ming had already rushed to the ranks of the Far Northern Army, and Gong Shanzhi, as the highest combat power and leader of the picket, also went out with a team of cultivators to prepare for the opportunity to act.
Qu Shuanghua had already gone to the shelter, and thanks to Qu Shuanghua's efforts, the refugees were able to accept the arrangement of leaving their houses and living in the shelter. These days, Qu Shuanghua has been in the underground shelter to soothe the inhabitants of Windy City, dissipating the anxiety and fear in their hearts.
A bolt of lightning lit up the room, then dissipated, followed by a rumbling thunder that seemed to explode over the heads of the people and crush them all. Wang Zhen and Miao Yu also looked at the rain falling on the window, and they were silent.
Small pieces of ice shattered on the tempered glass and turned into a beautiful ice chip, but they were quickly washed away by the falling rain, and there was nothing left. The heavy rain continued to pour in, and countless flowers bloomed and fell, just in the square inch.
"Here we go." Wang Zhen said softly.
Miao Yu glanced at Wang Zhen and didn't say anything, just sat on the chair, looking at the darkness outside the window, and couldn't see any expression on his face. The lightning swept across again, illuminating Miao Yu's face, Wang Xun turned his head to look at it, and asked with a smile, "Captain Miao is nervous?" ”
"Nervous?" Miao Yu turned his head when he heard this, his eyes matched Wang Zhen, and then he smiled: "Of course I'm nervous!" It's been years since I've been in the Windy City, and nothing major has ever happened, and suddenly something like this happened...... Hehe, people are old and useless, and they can't help at all. ”
Wang Cheng sat sideways on the single sofa, leaning on the backrest on the side, and his legs hanging outside, exuding a lazy atmosphere. He threw his head back behind him, put his arms in a comfortable position on the wide, fluffy armrests, closed his eyes, and said:
"Eh, why did Captain Miao say this? This operation can be successful, thanks to the great help of Captain Miao, if it weren't for Captain Miao behind us, I'm afraid the current situation is much worse than now, how can we clean up? ”
Miao Yu smiled: "Counselor Wang praised me so embarrassed, it's really not as important as you said." I'm just arranging for my subordinates to run errands for you, and collect some old information at ordinary times, it's not a big deal, it's not a big deal, it's not a credit. ”
"Really? I don't think so. Wang Zhen said softly.
Miao Yu looked at Wang Zhen, but found that this kid was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, looking like he had made up his mind to chat. Seeing him like this, Miao Yu also shook his head, anyway, they don't have anything to do now, just chatter.
"By the way, Captain Miao, I heard that you were sent here because you offended a member of the Imperial Court? I didn't inquire carefully, what the hell is going on? Oh, I'm just asking, and if you don't want to say it, I'll just say it. ”
Miao Yu shook his head: "What can't you say?" I was on duty in Jingbei Province that year, and I was mixed for more than ten years, and I finally got mixed to the level of deputy captain, but there was a big case in Jingbei Province that year. You probably haven't heard of this case, and you weren't even born at the time! ”
"Oh? What case? Wang Xun seemed very interested, opened his eyes when he heard this, and listened attentively.
"At that time, there was a lamb trafficking organization that was very active in the underground world in Gyeongbuk Province, and the main source of lambs of this trafficking organization was abduction, theft and robbery. In the beginning, they only operated at night and in places with few people, and the scope of influence was not large. So after receiving a series of reports, we quickly set up a special task force to secretly investigate all the activities of this organization, hoping to find the abducted children and give them the justice they deserve. ”
Miao Yu seemed to be a little embarrassed when he talked about the events of that year: "I was actually not so young and vigorous back then, and I didn't have any special feelings when I first joined the task force. But then, because of the warning we issued, many people with children don't go out at night, and they don't go around those corners when they go out. ”
"So then the source of lambs for this organization became less and less, and I guess it was already breaking their bones at that time. Because you know, this kind of big lamb trafficking gang, they don't kidnap first and then sell, otherwise they wouldn't be so crazy, they all take orders first, and then kidnap children according to the order. ”
"Maybe it was a big order that couldn't be fulfilled, and these guys began to take risks, moving from night to day, from corners to the streets, acting blatantly. Of course, that's what we're trying to do, and in order to lure these guys out, we've put up tight surveillance all over the city, and we've finally caught many of them. ”
"At that time, it was really happy, as long as the lamb dealers who came out of the way, all of them were arrested by us, and I remember that I personally handled no less than 30 at that time. Of course, we were very happy with the clues, and immediately launched the interrogation, but we didn't expect that it would be involved in a fatal place. ”
"The interrogation was personally supervised by the provincial supervision team of the special case team, and I did not personally watch it because I was slightly injured, and it was our captain who went at that time. However, when I had taken care of my wounds and was about to go to the interrogation records to continue the investigation, the captain told me that the case had been taken over by the province, and that the special case team of our city bureau had been disbanded on the spot, and all the materials had been sealed and transferred to the provincial department. ”
"I'm not a young police officer who is just starting out, and I heard the problem at the time, and I asked the captain, is this matter too involved? The captain was hesitant at the time, and told me to just leave it alone. I thought it was strange, but since it was an order from the provincial government, I couldn't disobey it. ”
"So, I thought it was over." Miao Yu sighed and said, "As a result, it didn't take long for me to see the trial notice of the closed case on the Internet. I knew all of the 46 main culprits on the news at that time, and almost a quarter of them were caught by my own hands. ”
"Do you know how angry I was? In such a big case, the provincial department asked us to hand it over without saying a word, and we did not disobey the order. As a result, what we waited for was such a result, the so-called main culprits who were tried were all the little minions we caught at the beginning? ”
"Where is the real culprit? Where did the culprit go? Did they continue to investigate the case? Or is it because there is some huge force behind this organization, so the truth is hidden? What about the children who were abducted in the first place? What do they do? ”
"I found the captain, found the chief, and asked what was going on. But the captain, Director He, said that it was for my own good and didn't tell me anything. But the more they said that, the more I felt that the whole thing was not easy. So, on the surface, I gave up asking, but behind the scenes, I kept investigating. ”
"No one knows, I like to back up when I organize the data, and as the vice captain, I am also qualified to back up the data, and all the original data is in my optical brain. I went through all the files again, then surveyed all the people involved, and secretly kept groping my way forward. ”
"In the process of groping, I found that this organization is still active!" Miao Yu's voice began to become angry: "Do you know how I felt when I found out about this? I just feel like we're a bunch of bastards, and the officials of the entire empire are all bastards! ”
"Such a big case involves the happiness of thousands of families in the province, and the lives and freedom of thousands of children, and they ended it in such a perfunctory way. And what about the criminals? In a different way, the criminal operation continued in a more quiet way. ”
"I almost rushed to the director's office and beat him up, but reason told me I couldn't. It's easy to resolve my anger alone, but what about the anger and grief of so many victims? So I decided to investigate the whole thing and hand over all the evidence to the Central Corps, and I will see how long they can get away with it! ”
"So my investigation became more intensive, and the results were outstanding, and I gradually penetrated into the core part of the organization, and I had the information and evidence of most of the core members. But as I went deeper, I was even more shocked to find that the core member of this organization was definitely a powerful person. ”
"Sure enough, one day I finally found the founder and decision-maker of this organization, who was the nephew of one of the members of the Imperial Court. I was shocked by this discovery, although I always knew that there were few members of the imperial court, but I actually allowed my nephew to do this kind of business, and also directly interfered in the investigation of the local garrison, such a situation can be said to be arrogant. ”
"At this point in the investigation, I know that I can't continue, and if I continue to investigate, my net worth and life will not be saved. I packed all the information and evidence, uploaded it to the server, and gave it to my best friend, telling him to upload it to the Central Brigade if anything happened. ”
"Sure enough, before I could plan how to properly report this to the captain, it happened. At the time of an operation...... I guess that's the weather. Miao Yu sighed with emotion: "It was also a cold rain for a day, and we went to investigate a port warehouse by the river, which is said to be the cargo point of smugglers." ”
"Before we even entered the warehouse, we were confronted by smugglers, and in the heavy rain, we had a fierce shootout with the criminals, and I killed two criminals with my own hands, both on the head. But the number of criminals is too large, and we also suffer a lot. ”
"Finally, I was shot twice, and with the heavy rain and cold, I fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss. When I woke up, I was lying in the hospital, only to be told that I was the only one alive and that everyone else was dead. ”
"Before I could react, they told me that the people I had personally shot and killed were all members of the provincial guards. How is this possible? At that time, it was clear that all I saw were criminals, none of them were wearing garrison uniforms, and the names of the other party were not announced, and there were no traces of the entire formation and combat skills of the garrison training. ”
"I knew then that I had been harmed!" When Miao Yu said this, his tone became calmer: "So I didn't panic, I didn't resist, and I accepted the trial step by step." I refused to admit the crimes they had placed on my head, but the evidence appeared as if out of thin air, one after the other. ”
"My friend knew that I was finished, so he uploaded the information to the corps's mailbox as I instructed, and then my friend was assassinated in a small restaurant. I was on the verge of despair, I saw the darkest side of the entire imperial system, and I had lost hope of living. ”
Then, the corps finally got into action. They received my information, but it was too late, and the other party's actions were too meticulous to leave any clues. By the time of my accident, the lamb trafficking organization had all been transferred, and the crimes against me were conclusively proven. ”
"In the end, the corps could only turn around and eliminate my crime into manslaughter, saying that it was because of the weather conditions and the dereliction of duty of the provincial security guards, and most of the responsibility was transferred. But I couldn't stay in Jingbei Province anymore, so I was transferred to Windy City and became the captain, which can be regarded as a promotion on the surface. ”
Miao Yu said, laughed twice, and his whisper was full of sarcasm: "When I first came to Windy City, I was simply loveless, and I felt that I was like this in my life. Maybe before, as a security guard, I still had the determination to fight crime, but after something like that? ”
"I lived in this way for many years, until five years ago, when the court committee member was squeezed out because of factional struggle, all the charges were exposed one by one, and the lamb trafficking organization of the year was all arrested."
"You know, over the years, how many people will die because of these guys? How many people will go into despair because of them? And I'm just one of them. ”
Wang Zhen looked at Miao Yu and shook his head slightly.
"So you took refuge in the Origin?"
