Chapter 263: Getting to the Bottom of the Problem (Part I)
When we arrived at the Public Security Department, although it was already more than three o'clock in the morning, Deputy Director Xue was still waiting for us with a group of people.
As soon as he saw us, the first thing he said was, "Xiaolin, you are here." β
"What's wrong?" I said blankly.
"This case has escalated!" Deputy Director Xue said with a solemn face: "Last night, an underground shopping mall in Province H was surrounded by a group of criminals. Thousands of people were kidnapped inside. Until now, the criminals have not asked for anything. It is only said that if the police dare to attack it, the ZV2 virus will be spread in the mall. Knowing you'll be coming over tonight, we've been waiting for you all night. β
I heard Deputy Director Xue say that. I smiled and was about to explain to him that things were under control at the mall. But he couldn't help but pull me and began to introduce me to the people around him.
After his introduction, I found out that these people are all experts in various aspects of the police in H Province, and they can be regarded as the elite of the elite. There are leading talents, as well as criminal investigation, trace science, and criminal psychology...... The talents in the field can be described as the star-studded police circle in H Province.
What hurt me a little was that when these people heard Deputy Director Xue say that I was the leader of the task force they were waiting for, their faces instantly fell.
Some people were fine, but their faces were a little unhappy and they didn't say anything. But some people directly sneered: "Deputy Director Xue, are you mistaken, you plan to call such a hairy boy to lead this task force?" β
"Yes. Deputy Director Xue, this is too child's play, isn't it? Even if he is very familiar with this case, it is not his turn to lead this task force! β
"Yes, let me listen to the command of such a hairy boy, I can't afford to lose that person......"
β¦β¦
Deputy Director Xue is probably also frightened by what happened last night. Therefore, there are a total of 12 people in this task force he formed, and three or four of them are very difficult to hear.
"Hehe, Xiao Lin is very familiar with that zombie virus, and he also knows the style of this crime group very well, I think it is most suitable for him to lead this group, everyone should help the young people, let the young people exercise more!" Deputy Director Xue explained with a smile.
"Exercise can also make him an expert, such a hairy boy, how can he want us to listen to him like a bunch of old guys?" A middle-aged man in his forties and fifties looked disdainful. It can be seen that all of them are very arrogant. It's no wonder that talented people are a bit arrogant, and I've seen a lot of people like that, so I don't plan to deal with them.
Originally, I had long thought that my coming over might be such a result, so I told Deputy Director Xue last night, but I didn't expect him to insist on letting me be the team leader until now.
Just when I was about to push off the team leader, Zhao Xiaotian suddenly spoke: "What do you mean by this, why do you look down on us?" It's good that we don't dislike you for being old-eyed, you guys are going to work first. Do you think that the task force can be entered by both humans and ghosts, and we haven't decided whether we want you to join the task force yet, what do you have to worry about? Wouldn't the earth be spinning without you? In response to what you just said, I have decided in the name of the deputy head of the task force that several of you will be disqualified! β
Nima, Zhao Xiaotian's animal is not good. I don't know when he will become the deputy leader of the task force.
However, the effect of his words was quite good, and as soon as his voice fell, all those people turned pale with anger. His face was blue and red.
"What a big breath, I want to see how you guys solve this case, let's go!"
"Look at how you guys who haven't grown all the hair end up!"
"Humph......"
β¦β¦
Zhao Xiaotian's words instantly angered eight people, originally with Deputy Director Xue, there were a total of thirteen people on the scene, but now there are only five people left.
"Hey, Xiaolin......" Deputy Director Xue shook his head: "These people are all experts in various fields that I transferred from the police circle in H Province, especially the anti-terrorism expert who spoke before was angry with you, this is ...... Now our top priority is no longer to solve the ZV2 virus case, but how to end the huge kidnapping case in the underground mall. β
Deputy Director Xue may have been angry with Zhao Xiaotian's words, but in order to save face for us, he didn't say it explicitly.
I looked at Zhao Xiaotian, he also happened to look at me, the two of us looked at each other and smiled, I turned to Deputy Director Xue and spoke: "Deputy Director, don't worry, even if we don't have the help of those experts, we can still solve the case, don't you have a few experts here?" "I looked at the few people left behind by Deputy Director Xue. Since they didn't leave, they said that they must be Deputy Director Xue's henchmen, and they may often cooperate together in the future, of course I want to give them a little face and take the opportunity to praise them.
"Hey, that's all we have to doβ΅ let's go to the conference room and discuss it." After speaking, Deputy Director Xue led us towards the conference room.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly asked again: "Xiaolin, I heard that there was a big incident at the airport tonight, do you know what is going on from over there?" β
"Hehe, deputy director, it's actually nothing, it's just that a group of terrorists hijacked the plane." Zhao Xiaotian smiled proudly.
"Ah......" Deputy Director Xue and the four experts all changed their faces.
You must know that this is the area under their jurisdiction, and if there is a terrorist hijacking, it is not a joke, if the above investigates it, they will not be β‘able to get rid of the area under their jurisdiction, and the low crime rate will naturally be attributed to their credit, but once something big happens, it is definitely their responsibility. Hijacking is no more than an ordinary robbery, this is already a terrorist attack, and few people can afford this kind of responsibility.
Seeing that they were so worried, I quickly explained: "Deputy Director, don't worry, the matter has been dealt with." It was a planned operation, and everything was under our control. The hijackers were all caught. β
"Really?" Deputy Director Xue exclaimed, and at the same time, the eyes of those experts were a little different when they looked at us.
I seized this opportunity, simply struck while the iron was hot, and said to Zhao Xiaotian and Ah Pu in the form of tweezers: "Brother Zhao, Ah Pu, you should immediately go to the underground mall to find out the situation and see what is going on?" Deputy Director, who is in charge of the underground mall, can you please say hello to him and ask him to cooperate with the actions of the two of them. β
"Oh, no problem, I'll arrange it right away." Deputy Director Xue nodded.
"Deputy Director, please rest assured, Ah Pu and I promise to complete the task and make the underground mall open normally tomorrow morning!" Zhao Xiaotian made a military order to Deputy Director Xue with a serious face. Ask for the death of the association.
"Boy, stop bragging, as long as you don't let the ZV2 virus spread, and there are no hostage casualties, I'm thankful." Deputy Director Xue said with a bitter face.
"It must be fine!" After Zhao Xiaotian finished speaking, he turned around and left with Ah Pu.
Zhao Xiaotian and I don't have a tacit understanding now, but sometimes we can read each other's thoughts with a single look.
Just now, Zhao Xiaotian deliberately said those words to anger those people, he didn't mess around. Don't look at his usual foolishness, he is definitely not an impulsive person when doing business.
He got angry with those people, first of all, to help me get angry. Secondly, he already had a plan in his heart before he got angry with those people.
We all know that the matter of the underground shopping mall has been controlled by Zhou Rong, but Zhou Rong did not say before that the matter over there has not been completely resolved. It was also after Zhao Xiaotian became mad that I thought that Zhou Rong had not solved the matter in the underground shopping mall, and it turned out that he deliberately left me a big red envelope.
Zhao Xiaotian turned his head faster than me, and he immediately thought that this was Zhou Rong's intention, so he said that.
There is no doubt that the matter that we have to solve now in the underground mall is actually a phone call to Zhou Rong. What we have to do now is to put on a show in front of Deputy Director Xue.
Such a good opportunity to perform, since Zhou Rong has given me such a favor, of course we have to take the opportunity to perform. Otherwise, it will live up to his good intentions.
At half past six in the morning, I was still in the conference room with Chen Ye, Deputy Director Xue and those experts, Deputy Director Xue answered a phone call, and in less than three seconds, he suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly: "Really, all the criminals have been caught?" There were no casualties among the hostages? It's good, it's good. I'll give you a great credit when I come back, haha......"
After Deputy Director Xue hung up the phone, he immediately said to me excitedly: "That Zhao Xiaotian is really unusual, he rushed in with Apu, and the two of them subdued all the kidnappers, I must find a way to leave him here, I can't let him go back......"
Deputy Director Xue also said a lot of words praising Zhao Xiaotian later, how did he know that this was actually just a play between me, Zhao Xiaotian and Zhou Rong. Zhou Rong was an operation organized by the military this time, and it did not go through Deputy Director Xue, so Deputy Director Xue did not know about it at all. This is really cheap, me and Zhao Xiaotian.
At more than seven o'clock in the morning, Zhao Xiaotian and Ah Pu came back, and Li Dakui came back with them. What I didn't expect was that these people were all scarred and tired. After asking them, they found out that when Zhao Xiaotian and Ah Pu went in, Li Dakui and they were fighting a full-scale battle with those kidnappers. Zhao Xiaotian and Ah Pu also participated in the battle, so all three were injured, but fortunately the injuries were not very serious.
But fortunately, the kidnapping incident in the underground mall was completely resolved. Through the efforts of Deputy Director Xue, the kidnapping of the underground mall that happened that night was as if it had never happened. At eight o'clock the next day, the mall opened as usual, and the flow of people in and out was no less than usual, and ordinary people who knew what happened to this mall last night.
And we started to investigate why the ZV2 virus spread with peace of mind. When this contagious virus appears, the general investigation method is to follow the clues all the way to the source and find out who was the first person to carry the virus.
However, after some investigation, we came to the conclusion that the first four elderly people to carry the virus had all been in contact with Ah Pu's parents before the accident.
