Volume 1 The Rise of the Apostles 27

"Why didn't you tell me sooner!" Bai Lan stood on the stairs and roared in a penetrating voice.

"Uh... Boss, it's not that I didn't tell you earlier, it was the police department that made the case information public to us today... And what they said was that we were only in charge of the apostolic crime investigation, not in charge of public safety..."The long-faced young man nodded and gave Bai Lan a full face.

Bai Lan clenched her fists and hammered her right hand directly against the wall on the side of the stairs. "Those damn cops, blackstripes, pig teammates!" Bai Lan's eyes were red with anger, and he roared.

"That's... Boss, I'll send you the test materials and case handling information first. "The young man who had never seen Bai Lan so angry thought of a good idea for himself, and he quit the video chat in a hurry...

Looking at Bai Lan, whose arm was hammered against the wall, his head was lowered against his forearm, and he couldn't see the expression of chagrin, Chen Jingzhu first patted him on the shoulder, and then from behind Bai Lan, stretched out his arms, slowly wrapped him, leaned his head on Bai Lan's back, and comforted him softly: "Okay, don't be angry, this is a matter of the division of functions of the Xingchen Federal Department, and their statement is not wrong, they didn't help us not violate any management regulations, they have no obligation to actively assist us in the investigation, and finally they can send us the results of their investigation, which is very good." ”

The two of them remained silent in this position.

Under the gentle words of the fingers, Bai Lan, a workaholic and a straight man of steel, finally began to calm the anger in his chest, and the rise and fall of his chest slowly returned to normal.

Bai Lan let out a long breath through her nose. He was silent for a long time, and said, "The Fallen Angels have always been in charge of PD-D, and it's true that they are responsible for protecting public safety. But obviously, this fallen angel is not simply due to the fact that he has too many divine tree gene signals, which causes irreversible holy energy conflicts. I can't even imagine the conspiracy behind it. In the past, the Federation became independent of the IBDC in order to specialize in the fight against apostolic crimes, but now, because of this specialization, we cannot touch the overall situation of the case... Doesn't this make us blind people touch elephants? No, I'll apply tomorrow to set up a 'joint task force'! ”

Bai Lan held Chen Jingzhu's jade-like hand on his chest, and said in a soft voice: "I'm sorry, I always encounter so many cases, and I always don't have time to care about you, and I don't have time to arrange to meet your parents and get engaged..."

Chen Jingzhu shook his head slightly behind Bai Lan's broad back, arched slightly, and said in a soft voice: "I'm very happy to be able to handle the case with you, at least, we haven't been separated for a moment." Those things are not in a hurry and are nothing, after all, they are just formalities, and I am not one of those women who twist. However, you must quit smoking in the future, for my sake and for our future..."

Bai Lan rubbed Chen Jingzhu's warm jade hand and said, "Okay, I won't touch a cigarette again in the future." You'll have to hide the cigarette for me, though, and if I see it, I'm not sure I'll be able to hold back. Moreover, when Chen Hongming's old smoking gun approached me, you had to kick him away, and you also know that the influence of fox friends is very great. ”

In the end, rarely, a smile appeared on the corner of Bai Lan's mouth.

Chen Jingzhu also laughed out loud and said, "Hmph, didn't he become a smoking gun because you handed him a cigarette?" Now you're calling him a penny instead, and you're going to let me kick them away? You're really embarrassed, why didn't I find out that you were this kind of person who loves to dump the pot before! ”

"Who is it~From the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas~"

"But confined to day and night, kitchen and love~"

Li Manzhi closed the door, slowly raised his hands flat, and began to spin softly in a ballet step. She sang as she spun and slid into the room.

Finally, she curtsy and stops at the table.

In front of a few wooden chairs at the dining table, a woman who looked exactly like Li Manzhi was tied tightly behind her back, with a large ball of paper stuffed in her mouth. She wore a black metal ring on her tousled head, and she didn't know what to do.

Beside Li Manzhi, another woman in slightly brightly dressed work clothes was lying on the floor, a faint line of blood cut in her neck, but the blood that should have gushed out of the carotid artery was strangely sealed. However, this is clearly not to save her life.

The unrestrained Li Manzhi's face slowly became wide and angular; And her slightly petite and delicate body has become tall and thin; Her clothes are undressed, her abdomen is flat, and her eight-pack abs are bulging.

"Miss Li." The man smiled and snapped his fingers without rattling. Immediately, a suit of clothes appeared in front of him. Without scruples or shame, he began to change his clothes gracefully under the gaze of Li Manzhi's wide-eyed eyes.

"Come with me. Rest assured, it's not an open house. But I'll still be gentle. The man's smile seems to have a heart-warming power.

Walking a short distance downstairs, Bai Lan stopped and looked back at the location of 303. He thought for a while, then turned around and asked, "Qin Zhu, just now at the door, how many pairs of shoes did you see outside?" ”

Chen Jingzhu was stunned. It was true that she was the only one on the side of the half-open door just now, and Bai Lan stood on the left side where she couldn't see what's going on inside the door.

Chen Jingzhu tilted his head according to the vague impression and tried to recall: "It seems... It's two pairs, but I only see three, and there should be one shoe blocked by the door. ”

"You're also a woman, Qin Zhu, do you usually put another pair of shoes that you don't wear outside?" Bai Lan asked.

Chen Jingzhu thought for a while and said: "It depends on the situation, if I say, some beautiful shoes that should be maintained will be carefully placed alone, but the shoes that go out in general, if I don't pay attention, will still be placed outside." ”

Bai Lan thought for a while, touched the stubble that she hadn't taken care of, and said, "So, have you noticed the difference in size between that pair of shoes and the other one you saw?" Aesthetically impulsive does not conflict? ”

Chen Jingzhu tilted his head, recalled his vague impression, and said, "A pair is... Glossy black flat heels, a black spotted platform on a white background. I really can't see the difference in size, after all, if a woman is about the same height, the difference in the size of the feet is not immediately noticeable, not to mention that I don't pay much attention to the shoes at all; Aesthetically speaking, although the shoe style is different, many women will buy some shoes with completely different shapes and styles, in order to wear different feelings. Flat heels are good for driving, after all, hovercars with self-driving functions sometimes require manual emergency braking. Thick-soled shoes are not suitable for driving and are prone to danger; Its style is more cute and casual. ”

Bai Lan frowned and pinched his chin, although Chen Jingzhu didn't give him an answer, he felt a sense of dissoluteness. He looked up at Room 303 again, his gaze becoming sharp and determined.

"Qinzhu, let's go, let's go back again. Remember, always be ready to use the AD11 pistol! Bai Lan's expression was cold and cautious.

Chen Jingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. has been a partner for many years, although most of them are partners in the office, Chen Jingzhu immediately understood Bai Lan's intentions.

"Let's go!" The man smiled, he carried Li Manzhi on his shoulders with one hand, and covered his cowboy hat with the other, and a huge dark secret door appeared in front of him.

Bai Lan and Chen Jingzhu stood at the door of Room 303 for three seconds. Chen Jingzhu leaned sideways, already holding the AD11 pistol in both hands.

"Ding Dong!"

"Ding Dong!"

Bai Lan glanced at Chen Jingzhu, and then shouted, "Miss Li, are you there?" Miss Li, are you there? It suddenly occurred to us that we would like to ask you another question, can you please open the door? ”

For a long time, no one answered the door.

Suddenly, Bai Lan's microcomputer automatically projected a stereoscopic image, which showed that there was a spatial turbulence near the location (39°76′23"N, 116°33′45"E), please be careful!

Bai Lan's face changed. He no longer cares whether there is a search warrant or not.

"Get out of the way, Jingzhu!"

Bai Lan stretched out her right hand to the door of room 303. Immediately, a black dot appeared in the middle of the door, and the black dot gradually expanded, with a huge attraction - the door was instantly deformed, and a large piece of rubble on the cement wall around the door was torn off - the metal door was finally torn into alloy fragments by the attraction of the black dot, and then all of them were sucked into the black dot!

"Scatter!" The black dot gradually shrank and eventually disappeared, but the huge attraction made Chen Jingzhu and Bai Lan equally embarrassed.

The loud sound of tears and shattering, and the forced destruction of walls and doors, triggered the security alarm of Baixiangju Apartment.

Bai Lan lowered her head, looking at the collapsed corpse of the woman in professional clothes, and the blood line on her neck, silent.

"Call in the investigation team." Bai Lan bent down and said to Chen Jingzhu. He scrutinized the body closely, but didn't touch it.

"Scan fingerprints and match citizen information databases." A blue curtain of light that spread out horizontally swept out of Bai Lan's microcomputer. The light curtain scanned the corpse from beginning to end, scanning both her body and the surface of her clothing, except for the inside of her clothing.

"Tick!" The scanned audio was released, and then, the shape of the scanned fingerprint appeared on the light curtain, and a soft synthetic female voice was immediately heard: "The fingerprints of two citizens were detected, fingerprints 1-4 belong to the apostle citizen Li Manzhi, and fingerprints 5-14 belong to ordinary citizen Luo Jia." ”

"Sure enough, no..."Bai Lan turned off the microcomputer.

Bai Lan's gaze was out of focus, and he slowly said to himself: "Li Manzhi disappeared, but she had no reason to kill her friend, and the Holy Energy information she registered did not include [Space] and [Teleportation] - even [Teleportation], which would only cause a slight spatial disturbance and would not trigger the alarm, and she was also related to the Jing'an Street incident. It seems that it is the people behind the scenes who act. The person who acted this time is likely to have [Transformation], or even the source of [Transformation] inheritance-Upper Trunk Branch-[Thousand Changes]; and spatial holy energy. ”

Bai Lan was silent for a long time, and continued to mutter: "If the target Li Manzhi was not here, then the people behind the scenes don't have to kill Luo Jia to alarm the police or us. Unless, the target Li Manzhi was indeed here just now, so he needed to forcibly take Li Manzhi away, and even kill people to achieve his goal. But our arrival disrupted his plans to a certain extent, exposing his transfigurative powers. So... The Jing'an Street incident, the ultimate goal is only Li Manzhi, or many Jing'an Street apostles, even... What about all the apostles? ”

“… Like a net, it has been slowly spread, and you, either the weaver of the net, are the prey. In Bai Lan's heart, for some reason, a sentence said by the protagonist in the unknown detective novel.
