Chapter 68: A Slap to the Head
Ruvel had been more depressed this afternoon than in the morning. For three full hours, he locked himself and a group of colleagues in the room, repeatedly combing through the clues of the past few months, and they were almost in time for the new case. But no matter how you look at it, Man's pharmacy is the key, the part that can't be crossed.
However, no one knows what the problem is, and the afternoon is nothing. The police station focused on drug cases, and did not have much spare energy to find people, only three or four policemen walked around the jurisdiction of Lantian Town and gave up.
Ruvel pinned his last hope on Leo, and he picked a dozen policemen who were still in spirit, ordered them to be ready to go, and finally waited for the call in the evening.
Despite the fatigue of the day, Ruvel led the team to arrive in five minutes. The crowd surrounded the truck and set up a cordon so that the onlookers who came outside could keep their distance.
"Marne, you can't play any tricks this time, the thing must be in the car, right?"
Ruvel, who met again, pointed to the van and said. Marne is still the cautious smiling face of the day.
"Brother policeman, when you came during the day, you turned me upside down. Even if I've done a little bit of that in the past, I won't be able to put the pot of drug trafficking on my head, right? β
"Less nonsense! What are you running for nothing? β
"I've been having a bad deal, and you know it, so I want to change places, can't I?"
"Of course not, you don't want to go anywhere today."
Ruvier said, flashing his search permit and shaking it in front of Marne.
"See clearly? Bring the keys! β
"What if you still can't find it?"
"Then the old rules!"
Marne grinned and handed out the key to the cargo compartment. Four policemen opened the cargo compartment, two people inside, two people outside, and moved the cartons out one by one. Ruvel and a policeman stood behind the cargo compartment to take inventory. Marne and two of his henchmen stood and watched, while Leo and Andora stood across from them.
Leo glanced sideways at Marne, and he found that the store manager's face was completely devoid of nervousness and panic, only sneers and snickering, as if everything was under control. Could it be that this time Ruvel is going to be embarrassed again?
Two police officers in charge of identification opened a cardboard box, took out several pill bottles, unscrewed the lid, poured the solution inside into a beaker, and then used the test strip of the police identification RX6 and immersed it in the solution for testing. This test strip only reacts to RX6 series drugs, and the police can judge whether it contains RX6 based on the color of the test strip.
After inspecting all the vials, Ruvel heard the last thing he wanted to hearβno different from the day, and still found nothing.
He controlled his expression and ordered the police to continue their work, but his heart was already up and down.
One box, two boxes, three boxes...... The inspected boxes were laid out on the floor, and half an hour passed, and no problems were found with any of the vials.
"How's it going, big brother policeman? Can I go? Marne walked up and asked Ruvier in a strange way.
"Who said that? We're not done yet! β
"Okay, whatever, you just get it until dawn and I'll accompany you, anyway, it's not me who suffers in the end, haha!"
Ruvel was speechless and in a dilemma. If you continue to search, there may really be no results, and the more you search, the more compensation this bastard in front of you can ask.
So let it go? It's not that Ruvier didn't think about it, but every time he thought about it, he would convince himself that he must trust the judgment of his colleagues and the efforts of everyone. Even if it is contrary to the facts, it is the facts that lie in front of us.
In this way, he did not speak, nor did he stop. Finally, he waited for unexpected reinforcements.
"Wait a minute!"
A girl shouted from the crowd outside the cordon. Carrying a small suitcase, she squeezed through the crowd of onlookers, and tried to get through the cordon, but was stopped by the police.
"Please let me pass!"
"No, it's on official duty inside!"
"What's going on out there?" Ruvel shouted in the direction of the commotion.
"Section chief, there's a girl who has to go in...... Feed! β
Before the policeman had finished speaking, the girl took the opportunity to drill over and stand in front of Ruvel a few steps.
Ruvier looked at the girl, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took out the missing person notice he carried with him and checked it several times, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Are you...... Luna Sarudo? β
Recognized by the police, Luna is also taken aback.
"You know me?"
"Yes, we received a search order this morning, and someone is looking for you everywhere."
"It must be my father, he ......"
Luna's face darkened, but quickly returned to normal.
"Mr. Policeman, please leave it to me here."
"Over to you? Do? β
"There's definitely RX6 in these potions, and I have a way to find out."
Ruvel was taken aback: "What to say? This is a police case, don't make trouble. β
"Mr. Ruvel, let her try."
It was Andora who said this. Ruvier looked at him: "You know each other?" β
"Sort of," Andora said, turning to Luna again, "See you again, Miss Luna." You're here to help? β
Luna held up the small suitcase in her hand, "Of course, I didn't do anything else this afternoon, just waiting to expose them." β
"I'm so confident. Mr. Ruvel, let her try? β
"Isn't that nonsense?"
"She's not a layman."
Andora recounts her encounter with Luna during the day, but Ruvier is still skeptical. But it's really not a way to investigate like this, simply, let's use a dead horse as a live horse doctor. He then called for an inspected vial and handed it to Luna.
"Boss, it's this girl during the day!" Pete said.
Marne lost his initial lightness, and he remembered what Pete had said during the day. If it was only at that time, it would have been enough to scare people, but now it has appeared again. Seeing that Luna was so persistent, Marn was a little uncertain and leaned over.
In full view, Luna unscrewed the cap and tilted the bottle to let the liquid flow to the mouth, dipping her slender index finger in it and placing it on the tip of her tongue. The familiar taste made her jump to a conclusion right away.
"That's right, this is it!"
Luna opened the suitcase, took out a small beaker, poured half a cup of solution into it, and took out a small bottle of purple liquid, sucked some into it with a dropper, and dripped it into the beaker little by little.
"Miss Luna, what are you?"
"It's a potion I made to break down the EXP ingredients," Luna explained, her work unstoppable. "These glucose EP solutions are made by mixing low-purity liquid EXP with glucose solution, and are mainly used for the treatment of super-capable people, glucose supplementation or diazepam elements. But what many people don't know is that this liquid has another function. β
As she spoke, Luna turned her angry gaze at Marn.
"Wrap EXP matter."
The words made Marne shake like an electric shock.
"What does the package mean?" Andora asked.
"After special treatment, some EXP substances, such as the core ingredient of RX6, can be encapsulated with glucose with EXP. At present, the test strip used by the police can only check the ingredients in the potion, and there is nothing that can be done about the ingredients that are wrapped. β
"So this, um, can you check out the purple thing?" Ruvel asked.
"Of course. Mr. Policeman, lend me the test strips. β
A police officer hands Luna the test strip. Luna inserts the test strip into the purple liquid she had brought, then pulls it out and holds it to Marne.
"Look, this isn't an RX6 solution. I'm going to expose your tricks now! β
Ruvel also looked at the test strip, and it was indeed not the reaction of the RX6.
"And what is this?"
"This is my new segregation solution for glucose EP that I have made today. It is difficult to preserve and does not last long, so it can only be used and made. β
"It took less than a day to do this?"
"It's slow, you have to find all the materials."
Luna concentrates on her work, oblivious to Andora and Ruvel's admiring gazes. When the purple liquid drops a dozen drops, the clear liquid in the beaker gradually turns light purple. She stirred gently with a glass rod, and the liquid began to tumble, and soon the purple color faded away, and the liquid turned a cloudy milky white.
"That's it."
Luna pulls out the sieve and pours the beaker over the liquids, allowing them to spill through the sieve and onto the floor. The onlookers could all see it clearly - a layer of white particles had been left on the screen.
"Mr. Policeman, please take it and check it out."
Ruvel, who took the screen from Luna's hand, carefully handed it to the police officer in charge of the inspection with a shocked expression. The policeman poured the pellets into the water, and when the pellets dissolved in water, he tried them with a test strip and opened his mouth wide in surprise.
"Difficult, difficult, unbelievable, section chief! It's RX6! β
Ruvier hurriedly grabbed the test strip and squinted to see that yes, it was the reaction of the RX6.
God, God is true. Ruvel couldn't help but cheer, and the police around him raised their arms and shouted in praise of Luna's methods.
Seeing the results, Luna angrily walked up to Marne and pointed to his nose.
"Admit it now, right? As I said, you will not end well if you sell fake drugs like this! β
She was so focused on her words that she didn't notice Man's expression at all. The face that was barely calm instantly ignited with anger.
"Ahh
Luna's screams bring the cheering cops back to their senses, but it's too late. Marne has one hand firmly around Luna's neck, and the other hand holds a pistol against her head.
"All back off !!"
*****
Everyone was taken by surprise, and the drug search turned into a hostage rescue. The police officers drew their guns and aimed them at the three men. Marne's eyes were about to pop out, his hands tightened a little, and he roared hoarsely.
"Put the guns down! Put it down!! β
"Marne, now you have no way out!" Ruvier also shouted, "It's better not to do stupid things!" Drug trafficking is not necessarily punishable by death, but if you kill someone, you really have no way to live! β
"I don't care!! Anyway, without this batch of goods, Lao Tzu doesn't want to live! It's just the right one to pull a cushion! You guys also have to be buried with Lao Tzu! β
With each shout, his arm exerted force. Luna was strangled to breathlessness, and she didn't have much air, and her hands kept slapping Marne's arm. Marne poured out his anger on her again.
"Stink*! It's all your bad thing! Today you have to die! β
"Uh......h Live...... Hand ......"
"Marne! Drop your weapon! One last warning to you! β
"Less scares! Put down your gun or I'll kill her!" β
Pete and Horry also showed their guns. Ruvier secretly complained, blaming himself for his carelessness, and only cared about checking the medicine, and even forgot to search his body first. To make matters worse, he didn't have enough people to deal with the situation.
"Everybody put your guns down! The people outside evacuate the crowd! β
Ruvier gave the order, and then said to the police next to him.
"Hurry up and call for reinforcements, bring snipers!"
"Yes!"
Under the coercion of Man, the policemen laid down their weapons and took a few steps back, and Leo and Andora had to retreat as well. Most of the citizens who watched the excitement outside were scared away, and some of them were also chased away by the police.
All the police officers were some distance from him, and Marne had not let his guard down. He turned his back to the pharmacy, kept scanning the people around him, and then approached the van a little bit.
Leo could tell that Marne wanted to take Luna to the car and run away. But now the police could only watch Marne leave, and by the time the snipers arrived, he had already fled.
There is only one person who can break this situation.
Leo looked up to the third floor of the inn, and the window of their room had opened a small crack, and Akeya must have been prepared. Leo was expecting an accurate shot, which would have been a breeze for Akeya. But seeing that Marne was only two or three meters away from the cab of the truck, Akeya still did not shoot.
"Leo, why didn't Akeya react? He's got a gun, right? Isn't this a good opportunity for a sneak attack? β
Andora asked in a low voice, thinking the same thing as Leo. Leo didn't speak, he looked at Marne, and then at the inn.
Suddenly, despite the police's dissuasion, he walked towards Marne. Marne immediately stopped and turned to Leo.
"What are you doing? Go back! β
Leo scoffed: "If you let me go back, I'll go back?" β
As he spoke, he took another tentative step.
"Don't come here!"
Leo stopped. It's not Marne who stops him, it's Luna, who is strangled.
"Don't come here...... Ahem, ahem...... Please...... Don't save me......"
"What are these words......
Leo stopped halfway through his words. He saw Luna shaking her head as hard as she could, and there was fear and worry in her eyes, but it wasn't because her life was threatened, but for some other reason.
That same night, Luna travels back in time to a few days ago, to the moment when she was picked up by Alex and jumped down the stairs. Then he was saved, but Alex died tragically in the moonlight.
She had seen Leo covered in blood and lying on the ground with a pale face, still smiling. It's so similar to the bloody scene a few days ago.
ββ¦β¦ Alex...... Save me...... You're going to die......"
In the face of Luna's dissuasion, Leo simply smiles confidently.
"Don't worry, he can't kill me, I have a secret weapon."
His right hand is closed one by one, and he repeats these two movements, and his feet slowly move to the right like a walk.
"Say it again! I'll blow your head out first! Marne roared.
"Say it a few times. As soon as I make a move, you're done. β
As he spoke, Leo continued to pan his footsteps, hiding his right hand behind him, his eyes fixed on Marne's gun. Marne couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Leo's gourd, so he dragged Luna so that Luna was always separated from him and Leo, and his eyes were not taken away from Leo.
"Scare me! There is no such thing as a god! β
"You're retarded, haven't you heard of EXP weapons? These days, the weapons made with EXP are so versatile that they can do anything strange. β
"Fart! Stand still or I'll shoot! β
"You don't believe it? Then I'll let you know it. My weapon is voice-controlled, pointing to wherever it hits. β
"Little bunny, don't you brag about drafts?"
The two of them here are walking around, and Ruville next to him wants to find a chance to go up, but he is afraid of irritating Marne, so he can only watch Leo's.
After walking for a while, Leo stopped, and Marne followed. Looking at Marne's nervous appearance, Leo snorted.
"I'll show you, my secret weapon."
His right hand slowly came out from behind, and Marne's eyes widened intently, and when he saw what was in front of him, he flew into a rageβLeo had nothing in his hand, just a gesture of a gun.
"Holy shit! You're me!? β
"Look, this shot is going to hit you in the shoulder!"
"Die, little ghost!"
Without waiting for his opponent's gun to point at him, Leo aimed the "muzzle" of the "pistol" at the manic Marne, with an expression of victory.
"Bang!"
Bang β
With Leo's ventriloquiloquist, a muffled gunshot rang out, and a bullet from the third floor of the inn struck Marne in the shoulder from behind, nearly knocking his entire arm off. Marne's gun was gone, and before Horry and Pete could understand what was going on, two bullets came in quick succession to knock their pistols off.
"Fuck!"
The wounded Marn gritted his teeth and got up, trying to get Luna again. Leo had already rushed in front of him, and his leap was a flying kick that knocked Marne to the ground, and this time he couldn't get up again.
"Hurry up!"
As soon as Ruvel gave the order, the police officers behind rushed up, and with a few clicks, the three people were handcuffed, and their weapons were confiscated by the police.
"Marne! You are suspected of kidnapping and drug trafficking and have been arrested! β
The three were stuffed into a police car and taken away. Luna is taken aside by Leo and is in shock. Ruvel hurried over.
"Are you alright?"
"It's fine." Leo said. "It's exciting."
"I'm shocked, where did this gun come from? Is it someone you bring? β
"Well, that's him."
Leo pointed to the door of the inn, and Akya just walked out, and Leo went over and patted him on the shoulder, a little smug.
"This is our sharpshooter Akya, awesome, isn't it?"
Ruvel smiled: "I think you're pretty good, but it's up to you to come up with that way to get Marne's attention and make him turn his back to the hotel." β
"I'll do it when I should."
"Haha, that's good." Ruvel laughed, and then said to Luna, "Next, Miss Sarudo, I'm sorry, but I'd like you to come with us." β
"I know," Luna said, nodding, "you want me to help you make the segregate, right?" No problem. But wait a minute. β
With that, she walked over to Leo. This time, she no longer disliked the other party as she did during the day, and reached out in a friendly manner.
"Thank you. Turns out you're just looking a little hooligan. β
"It doesn't look like it." Leo shook Luna's hand awkwardly, "We have to thank you too." β
"Hehe, it's a trivial matter. Good bye! β
Luna follows the officers back to the police station, and the matter is over. Leo, who was in a good mood, stretched his waist and looked at Akeya - he was still expressionless.
"Good marksmanship, Akeya."
"It's not a big deal. But I was surprised that the captain could think of helping me find the best position to shoot. Arkya replied.
"I'm surprised," said Andora, "that you'd go along with Leo's pompous performance." β
"When conditions permit, giving face to the commander is also the experience of being a subordinate."
"Thank you so much, sleep, sleep."
Leaving Akya and Andora behind, Leo walked into the hotel on his own.
