Chapter 238: Refusal
"You two may be seated!" Ling Xiao took Melinda and Ciel up to the third floor, since Ling Xiao moved the cultivation retreat room to the cliff villa, the third floor of the pharmacy was empty, so he made a new renovation here.
The originally large three-storey ashram was divided into three rooms, a bedroom, a living room and a studio.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Ling Xiao personally made a pot of tea for the two of them, watched the two of them take a sip, and then asked, "I don't know what happened to the two of you coming over this time?" ”
Melinda and Ciel glanced at each other, and then said directly: "Ling, we heard that your villa was stolen, I wonder if your Heavenly Soldier Battle Armor is still in your hands?" ”
Melinda went straight to the point and said the purpose of today's visit in one sentence. In fact, for the theft of Ling Xiao's villa, S.H.I.E.L.D. knew about it a few days ago, but they didn't associate it with the body of the Heavenly Soldier Battle Armor, after all, Ling Xiao's strength was not weak, and it was not so easy to steal things from him.
However, after the development of things, they began to be a little worried, especially when Qin Ming, who had a close relationship with Ling Xiao, began to move, S.H.I.E.L.D. began to sit still, plus some other things, this is why Hill and Melinda visited this time.
"Celestial Armor." Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile and shook his head, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s reaction was really too slow, the hydra had been moving under their noses for so long, they hadn't even noticed it in the slightest, one could imagine how badly the entire Los Angeles branch had been eroded.
"Then do you think the Heavenly Soldier Armor is still in my hands now?" Ling Xiao raised his head and looked at the two of them with a smile, and there was no panic on his face, which made Melinda and Hill doubt their previous judgment.
Taking a deep breath, Hill opened his mouth for the first time: "Ling, I hope you can understand that once the Heavenly Soldier Battle Armor is stolen, the consequences will be very serious, so please tell us the truth, and we can deal with it in the next step." ”
"Seriously." Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, and said indifferently: "I don't think there is anything serious, no one can use the Heavenly Soldier Battle Armor except me, even if it is really lost, it will not cause any harm, not to mention that it is still in my hands." ”
"Then can we meet the Celestial Armor?" Hill asked further.
"Nope." Ling Xiao refused very decisively, and said: "The Heavenly Soldier Battle Armor was hidden by me in a very secret place, and now there are too many people staring at it, I don't want others to find the storage place of the Heavenly Soldier Battle Armor, and then snatch the things away." ”
"Mr. Ling, listen to what you mean, it seems that you are very distrustful of us?" Hill frowned, Ling Xiao's words made her think about it.
"It's not that I don't trust you, I don't trust all the law enforcement officers." Ling Xiao sat there, took a sip of the teacup, and then said to the two of them: "Both, let me show you something, after reading it, you will understand why I think so?" ”
Hill and Melinda glanced at each other, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, they didn't know what Ling Xiao would come up with, making him suspicious of all the law enforcement officers, and their faces couldn't help but sink.
When Ling Xiao came out of the bedroom, he was holding a USB disk in his hand, he plugged the USB drive into the TV, took out the remote control and pressed it a few times, and the scene of Ling Xiao's villa living room appeared on the TV screen.
On the screen, Ling Xiao's living room is very neat and clean, and the villa is also very quiet, but when Ling Xiao fast-forwarded and stopped, the two suddenly found that there were a few figures at the edge of the picture before flashing.
"This is the surveillance video of the living room when the villa was burglarized that day, under normal circumstances, the monitor in the living room is not turned on, and it will only be turned on when Gan Jing and I are not in the villa."
Ling Xiao turned around, looked at Melinda and Hill, and said in a deep voice: "There is also a set of monitoring equipment in the front and back of our villa, and the monitoring equipment in the living room is only known to me and Gan Jing, while the other two sets of monitoring equipment are easy to find, and they can't be hidden from professionals at all." ”
After a slight pause, Ling Xiao said with a smile: "Do you know, on the day of the theft, the surveillance equipment in the backyard was cut off, and the technique was quite professional, although they didn't know that there was a set of surveillance equipment in the living room, but they still cautiously avoided the surveillance camera, and the real interesting one was in the back." ”
Ling Xiao picked up the remote control, and fast-forwarded for a while, and two patrol officers appeared on the surveillance video in the front yard, the two of them looked serious and their movements were very standardized, but Melinda and Hill both knew that there was something wrong with the two of them, otherwise Ling Xiao would not have said what he said just now.
Both of them were experienced agents, so they quickly noticed the same as the two patrol officers, and during the whole process of entering the villa, the two of them never raised their heads except for a glance at the monitor at the beginning.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, but Melinda and Hill know that this is extremely abnormal, as a patrol officer, when going out to the police, especially when receiving a report, you must watch and listen to all directions, otherwise, if you don't pay attention, you will be hit by a cold gun that you don't know where it came from.
The actions of the two people seem to be fine, but in fact, they are deliberately avoiding the monitoring above, and veterans can see the problem.
Immediately after the picture turned, it turned back to the living room, at this time, the two patrolmen who entered the villa were obviously relieved, and after a few words of conversation between the two people, they began to rummage in the villa, vases and bookshelves were knocked over a lot, and they looked like a mess.
At this time, even the most stupid person knew that there was something wrong with these two patrol officers, and it was not good to say that they were in the same group as the previous wave of people.
Seeing Ling Xiao turn off the TV, Melinda couldn't help but say, "Ling, why don't you give this video to the police detective in charge of this case?" ”
"I'm going to give it." Ling Xiao sneered and said, "But when I went to see that detective a few days ago, his attitude was very problematic, I don't know if he looked at me unpleasantly, or what was going on, the words he asked me were very wrong, so I didn't take out this thing." ”
"Do you suspect that the detective has a problem?" Melinda frowned and asked, to be honest, she didn't believe it, from the thief who stole, to the patrol officer who received the police, to the detective who was in charge of investigating the case, didn't it mean that the whole incident was controlled by someone, which was too bizarre.
Compared with Melinda, Hill is somewhat convinced that this kind of thing is too normal for a mature organization. Compared to Melinda, who is often on the front line, Hill, who is often in charge of the overall situation, is familiar with this method, because she often does it herself.
"If there's a problem, I don't know, I just can't trust them anyway." Ling Xiao said as he pulled the USB drive off the TV, pushed it to Melinda and Hill, and said with a chuckle: "Okay, I'll leave this thing to the two of you to check, if you can find something, remember to notify me." ”
Melinda raised her head and glanced at Hill, and when she saw Hill nodding slightly, she picked up the USB drive and said, "Okay, Ling, I will find out about this matter." ”
"That's for the best, of course." Ling Xiao laughed, there is a good show to watch now, S.H.I.E.L.D. is facing Hydra, and I don't know if Melinda can dig out the secret of Hydra, but, to be honest, Ling Xiao is not optimistic about her.
"By the way, Ling, there's another thing." Hill sat up straight and looked at Ling Xiao, and said in a deep voice, "We hope you can join S.H.I.E.L.D.?" ”
"S.H.I.E.L.D., NO, NO, NO, I don't have that interest." Just kidding, when he entered S.H.I.E.L.D., it was strange that he would not be eaten and wiped clean by the belt bones, and all the value on his body would be squeezed out, and half of S.H.I.E.L.D. was controlled by Hydra, and when the time came, he didn't even know how he died, so it was strange that he was willing to join S.H.I.E.L.D.
