Chapter III: Release from Prison
The atmosphere in the entire security team was very solemn, as if it could be cut with a knife, so that every member of the team was cautious, for fear of making a noise that would attract attention and displease the two commanders.
No one could have imagined that the nine-ten-ten-sure arrest operation would let the turtle that introduced the door escape. This is good, but the turtle in the urn can't be caught, but the wolf is lured into the room. Yes, the raid was perfect, but it was pointless, because there wasn't a single hole left.
Cao Jun stood in the hall wet, and the water on his body had not had time to wipe it, and the water dripped onto the ground to form irregular water marks. After Manhattan ran away, he was called back to the security team. I wanted to figure out what went wrong, but I couldn't understand it on the walkie-talkie, so I had to ask him to come in person.
Facing the security team and Xu Lao, Cao Jun didn't dare to hide anything, standing in front of the two of them, he explained the process clearly, and then lowered his head and secretly gritted his teeth, and his entire cheek on the right side ached slightly, and he was afraid that it was swollen inside.
The old man took off his glasses, held his head with his right hand, and let out a long sigh: "Lure the wolf into the room......"
Everyone knows the seriousness of the old man's words. The fierceness, cunning, and abilities that Manhattan had just shown in front of everyone were at least professionally trained. Leaving this kind of person in Jinling City is like a fish bone stuck in the throat, which makes people more and more uncomfortable. And such a person, entering Jinling on the eve of the Autumn Yuan Festival, thinks about it and knows what it is for.
That's not all, the most terrible thing is that this wild wolf can be said to be personally invited by the security team, and if this responsibility is investigated, no one will have good fruit to eat.
"I've sent someone to search along the way." Cao Jun cautiously added, hoping to transfer the guilt of his dereliction of duty.
Zhang Jingtie blushed and threw the paper fan on the table: "What's the use of this person!" More than 30 kilometers along the way, do you know how long it is? Go and call out all the police forces that can be called, close all the shops along the way, and find me quickly! β
"Zhang Jing, this paper fan is not for throwing." The old man raised his palm and made a downward gesture, telling Zhang Jing to press down his temperament, "Just closed the West Street, and there are already some broken rules." If this door-to-door lockdown is carried out, there will be a commotion in the whole city of Jinling - not to mention those people. The old man pointed upwards and said no more.
Zhang Jing also argued: "Old Xu doesn't know what happened, and he doesn't know it yet!" These ten people were the last to enter the city, and according to previous information, most of them had already hidden in the city. If you can't figure out the intentions of this organization as soon as possible, Elder Xu! I'm afraid that a catastrophe is coming! β
His tone bordered on rudeness. However, the old man was not angry, he stretched out a finger and pointed at the map in the southeast direction, where the provincial department was located: "I didn't say to ignore it, but an open search will only end the way, no, it can't cause trouble to that person." β
As soon as he heard the old man mention "that one", Zhang Jing's eyes dimmed. He picked up the paper fan, put it in his hand, and after muttering for a while, an even hotter light erupted: "Since Elder Xu thinks that the table cannot be moved, then what if I dispatch a small number of elites?" β
In response to Zhang Jing's sudden suggestion, the old man put on his glasses again and seemed hesitant.
Hearing this, Cao Jun hurriedly raised his head, took a step forward, and said loudly: "I know that I have made a big mistake, I don't ask for forgiveness, I just want to be able to arrest people personally, as long as I can avenge my brother!" "Today's mistake can be said to have ruined most of his military career, and now he doesn't play the card of blood revenge, but I'm afraid that he won't have the opportunity to make great contributions in the future.
The old man and the young man shook their heads at the same time.
There are more than 9 million people living in this Jinling City, and all kinds of forces, from provincial organs to various religions, are criss-crossed and entangled with each other, and it is a complex whirlpool that does not distinguish between light and dark. Cao Jun came to Jinling only a month ago to serve in the security team. There is no problem in letting him carry out the mission, it is too difficult to expect him to travel around the city to find someone.
The security team brings together the elite of the entire province, including the old Wei who is good at finance, the old horse who knows the local area well, the fierce special police, and the foreign intelligence agent who knows the enemy well - even if there is a lack of an old hound who can walk the line between black and white and has a keen sense of smell.
Originally, Wang Nian was the most suitable candidate, but unfortunately he had already died. Cao Jun knew what they were thinking, his eyes turned red, and he slammed his fist on the wall, and there was a trace of dust falling off the wall.
After a moment of silence, the old man stood up, picked up his clothes, put them on, and put on his hat as well. Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked the old man where he was going. The old man sighed and said, "This matter can't be hidden for long, I'll go to the provincial hall and delay it for some time." During this period, Zhang Jing, you still have to quickly come up with a way to make up for your previous mistakes, otherwise, ......" The old man lowered his eyebrows and did not say anything more.
Zhang Jing's shoulders hung slightly, obviously relieved, and at the same time he felt disdainful in his heart. This old guy is slippery, and as soon as he sees that things are messed up, he hurriedly finds a reason to run away, saying what to make up for his previous mistakes, does this mean that the responsibility lies with himself? He's not wrong at all? At this time, he refuses to decide anything, and he is clearly far away from himselfβor not, so that he can save himself from being constrained.
At this moment, he is worth a thousand dollars, and he doesn't have much spare time to engage in infighting.
The young man politely sent the old man out of the warehouse, and then hurried back to the hall, looking much more relaxed. He glanced at Cao Jun sternly, "When it is very time, your mistake will be discussed later." Don't slack off any more! β
Cao Jun's face became serious, and he hurriedly stepped aside and stopped talking. He knew that the person surnamed Xu was only a nominal name after all, and the person who really held the power in the security group was the young man named Zhang Jing in front of him. Don't look at this chief's young age, his methods are sharp and decisive, and he is resolute in killing, and the disobedient people in the entire security group are now living unsatisfactory.
After speaking, Zhang Jing hammered the table hard and called the ministers of the various ministries: "Tell me the personnel you think are the best now - it must be the best!" β
Several ministers in the hall fell into deep thought. Everyone dares to speak up. There are only forty-nine hours left before the peak of the Autumn Festival, and before that, it is almost impossible to find Manhattan and find out the terrorists hiding in the city. To do this work well, we must not only be serious, but also be able to pick work. If you do this well, you won't get any benefit. If you do a bad job, hum, if you don't do it well, you will become a scapegoat, and the recommender will also be unlucky.
Zhang Jing saw that his subordinates were all cowering, and he suddenly became angry, and wanted to reprimand, but suddenly his eyes gathered, and he saw that Minister Ma, who was more than 1,000 degrees of myopia, hesitated and raised his hand. He knew that this person's name was Ma Xiaokui, who was originally from the Ministry of Communications, knew the terrain of Jinling very well, and had the ability to never forget, so he was recruited to the security team as the head of the information department, but he stammered a little when he was nervous. Zhang Jing raised his chin and motioned for him to speak.
Ma Xiaokui, who raised his hand, hesitated for a moment and said, "I....... I have a candidate, I don't know if you think it's a good fit. β
"Say!"
"He's my friend, his name is ...... When calling...... Time land. He used to be a company commander in the border army, and later returned to Jinling and served as the head of the criminal investigation team in the bureau for ten years. Maybe he's suitable for Team Leader Zhang, you'......"
"Huh?" Zhang Jing's eyes narrowed slightly.
This resume can be said to be very simple, but when you think about it carefully, it is unusual. The Criminal Investigation Team is second only to the director of Jinling City, and is responsible for solving all kinds of criminal cases. A veteran who had just been discharged from the army suddenly became the head of the criminal investigation team, which was originally two different types of official positions, but was done by one person. What's more, it is still Jinling City, where these forces are intertwined. I'm afraid I don't have the ability, but I can't eat this bowl of rice.
Thinking like this, Zhang Jing suddenly became interested in it: "Where are the others?" β
"This ...... This, he committed the crime three years ago, and now he is still in the Jinling City Prison, and he is about to be shot. β
Ma Xiaokui carefully considered the words, and then thought that he was not a cultural person, so he said it directly. When the people around heard this, they immediately whispered, did Minister Ma also stutter in his brain, how did he recommend a death row prisoner? Isn't this touching the chief's brow?
Who knows that Zhang Jing's face is expressionless: "What I want is someone who has the ability - let me ask you, is he the best candidate?" β
Ma Xiaokui hurriedly replied: "The entire Jinling is unsurpassed!" β
A notebook swept through the air, and Ma Xiaokui waited until the notebook hit his face before hurriedly picking it up. Zhang Jing said: "Drive my car." Bring him in an hour, and I'm going to see him here. β
Ma Xiaokui was stunned for a moment, and only after half a sound did he realize what the chief meant. He slipped the notebook into his pocket and hurried out of the hall, thinking to himself if he couldn't see clearly and would bump into someone.
Zhang Jing looked around and found that the others were still looking at each other, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Look at what! Don't go check it out for me right away! So all the videos along the river, the information on the goods transported, and the information from all over the place, immediately check it out for me, quickly! β
Everyone in the security team ran to their places and began to bury their heads in their work. The hall was busy again, Zhang Jing seemed to think of something again, and said: "Weihong, you go to the bureau and transfer Shi Lu's information." β
A young police officer, galloping out.
Zhang Jing looked up at the clock above his head, and the time still passed calmly and never changed.
The bare earth, with dry trees everywhere and a hint of fishy smell.
Countless black shadows appeared in front of him, and the cold wind blew onto his face, and a trace of wound slowly cracked open from his face. Black clouds cover the sun, but also freedom.
He mustered himself up and slowly got up, straightened up, tried to draw the short knife with his blood-soaked hand, and shouted a warning angrily. On the ground, by the trees, there were scattered corpses, and no one could give him a response. Only the last leaf that has not yet fallen is still swinging with the wind, and then breaking and drifting into the distance.
Knock knock! The enemy's horn of attack was once again blown, and bullets rained down in front of him. This time, it's just me......
Shi Lu woke up suddenly, and then realized that he was no longer in the frontier, but in Jinling City Prison. Shi Lu got up slowly, staring at the door with blank eyes, and his thoughts were flying for a while.
Shi Lu came to his senses, raised his eyelids, and saw that someone was opening the cell door. There were two men standing in front of the cell door, one was the warden; There was also a short, round, bearded man with a concerned look in his eyes.
"Ma Xiaokui?" Shi Lu was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." There was no emotion in the words.
Ma Xiaokui knew that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly smiled at the warden: "Please open the door." β
The prison warden frowned, and saw that Ma Xiaokui's documents were good, so he reluctantly took out the card and swiped it.
With a "drip" the cell door opened automatically, Ma Xiaokui walked into the cell and nodded to him, "Someone wants to see you." β
Shi Lu got out of bed, his figure was not tall, but his body was strong, which made people have a visual difference, as if he was tall. The flat head makes the forehead slightly more convex, and there are two thick eyebrows hanging from the eyes. He stretched, looked around and asked, "Huh?" β
Shi Lu looked surprised, he thought that Ma Xiaokui was here to send him to the end. I didn't expect him to have such magical powers and fish people out of prison?
Ma Xiaokui stammered anxiously, and didn't know where to start, but just asked the prison warden to bring the documents quickly. Soon, the prison warden got a document that Ma Xiaokui needed to sign. Shi Lu glanced at it and knew that this was a document for transferring crimes. Shi Lu was full of doubts in his heart, you know, if it is just a transfer, but it will be handcuffed. However, he knew that this was not the time to ask, so he could only remain silent.
Ma Xiaokui took a pen and drew a few strokes casually, and then pulled Shi Lu out of the prison under the direct gaze of a cadre of people and others. Back outside, the moonlight sprinkled on him, Shi Lu took a step forward, closed his eyes and felt the breath of the wind, and a little emotion appeared in his heart.
This step is the separation of yin and yang. He thought that his life was over, but he didn't want to walk around Huangquan Road, and came back inexplicably.
What will happen next, Shi Lu doesn't know yet. But if you can take a closer look at this moonshine, it's worth it!
Shi Lu came to the faucet and twisted it away under the gaze of everyone, and the water flowed from Shi Lu's calloused hands. Shi Lu took a plastic bucket from the side, which seemed unruly, but the surrounding prison guards stood far away. He filled a bucket of water and poured it on his head, giving him a very refreshing cold war, sweeping away the filth and malaise of his previous prison life.
Shi Lu put the bucket to his mouth and took a big sip. He put down the bucket and combed his hands through his hair, and the water dripped down his hair, faintly exuding the momentum of killing. A deep scar between the eyebrows, extremely fierce in the moonlight.
"Long time no see!" He raised his fist and swung it hard across the sky. Suddenly, the angular side face was as hideous as the devil.
