Sha Ping was stopped by the traffic police on the way back to the city. There were only him and House in the car, and Li Man had left early shortly after leaving Peibo's house. It seems that she herself knows that Zhang Fei's traces are now the focus of tracking by all parties, and as one of Zhang Fei's agents, it is best not to be too ostentatious, or to hide her tracks as much as possible.

After they were stopped, the traffic police told them that they had stopped them not because of a violation or because they were suspected of committing a crime, but because someone wanted to get in touch with Agent House in the car. House took the phone from the traffic police and just said, "Hello, I'm House." Then I heard the roar of Heather, the director of the Bureau of Investigation, on the phone. He took the phone away from his ear for a while, smiled wryly at Sha Ping and the traffic policeman, and then stepped over the railing on the side of the road and walked along the shoulder of the road into the distance.

It wasn't until fifteen minutes later that he walked back to the car and returned the phone to the traffic police.

"Any other questions?" He asked the traffic police.

The traffic policeman shrugged his shoulders, said "no", returned to the police car, and drove away.

"I'm sorry, it looks like I'm putting you in a bad situation! Have you been fired? Sha Ping walked over and said.

"Not really. The director asked me to promise to follow the rules and not act on my own initiative. House said thoughtfully.

"It seems that you are still trying to maintain a façade that does not put obstacles in the way of the investigation." Sha Ping laughed twice as he spoke, and then asked, "You agreed?" ”

"Of course." House gave the sand a normal look.

"And what do you want to do next, obey orders?" Sha Ping squeezed his eyes.

"It's up to you. If you can come up with enough reasons to convince me, I don't mind disobeying orders. House smiled.

The two got back into the car and continued to drive towards the city. Sha Ping drove as he pondered the meaning of House's words. House sat next to him in silence, waiting for the other to think about it.

After a while, Sha Ping finally spoke: "Let's talk about something real." Although you and I are nominally investigating the attack on Yu Qianhua, we actually have our own selfish motives. You want to use this opportunity to get rid of the serial killers, and I want to know a little more about the truth of the martial arts group in order to explore the crisis of the development of human society. Let's not talk about the ideological stuff of whose purpose is nobler and whose motive is more correct. Let's just talk about the specifics of how to live in the world.

"I don't want you to conclude in hindsight that I used the bait of tracking down a serial killer to trick you into disobeying orders and following me around, and in the end it was all for the Yu Qianhua case or my personal investigation. Although investigating the Yu Qianhua case should have been your job. So I want to get to the bottom of one issue first, and that's where you stand. If it were found out that your serial killer had nothing to do with the Yu Qianhua case, would you violate the above rules or orders just to find out about the Yu Qianhua case? ”

House raised his eyebrows and said frankly, "To be honest, I'm afraid I won't break the order for Yu Qianhua's case." I'm not afraid to be honest with you, in my opinion, the essence of Yu Qianhua's attack is dog eat dog. I am not guilty of violating the above rules for this. Why, after a trip to Peibo's house, you found out that you guessed wrong? Found clues that these two cases are not the same murderer? ”

"It can only be said that there is this possibility. I did find a clue that Mr. Peibo might not be telling us the truth. But I don't know who your serial killer is, so I don't know if he's related to the murderer of Yu Qianhua that I guessed. Do you really not know the clues of this serial killer now? ”

"I don't know." House shook his head resolutely.

"Then don't ask me what clues I found at Peibo's house. You don't tell me, I don't tell you, it's fair. Let's just guess and guess it is good, and it can increase the fun in the process of solving the case, isn't it! Hahaha! ”

"Then let's go back to the hotel first. See if the departments have received any new leads. House said. So Sha Ping turned the car to the road leading to the hotel.

"If I agree to disobey the order, what place would you suggest we go to investigate?" House asked.

"I would suggest that we go to the laboratory of Rui Motorcycle, even if the military has already swept it, I believe that there will always be some clues left at the scene."

"Why are we going to go secretly? That laboratory is also one of the sites where the tools of the crime are made, so why not apply to the top to investigate the scene? House said.

"I don't think the people up there will approve our application." Sha Ping said.

"How do you know if you don't try, after all, the gesture of delegating independent investigation power is still up to you." House said.

Twenty minutes later, they returned to the hotel.

Back in his room, Sha Ping picked up the phone and checked. He wanted to see if the group photo taken with Li Man's mobile phone had been sent to his mobile phone. But then he found out that he had received a message from the C.I.A. about the latest developments in Mr. Yu's case.

He still checked the photos he received first, and found that the clarity was acceptable, and he could recognize everyone's faces. Only then did he open the message he had received and looked at the content of the message.

The content of the message reads: Matt was found in Bangkok, Thailand. The figure of Dalton. Details of the content will need to be viewed on one of the CIA websites. Matt. Dalton is the titular person in charge of the Sharper remote-controlled airsoft project, and is likely the one who posed as a CIA agent to sell the poison to the Septua. And there is evidence that he was on that cruise ship at the time. It can be said that he is now the main suspect in the Yu Qianhua case, and this person has disappeared since the incident, and he has not even called back.

After Sha Ping clicked on the website, he found that identity authentication was required. He had no choice but to go to the door of House's room again and knock on the door. The door mirror dimmed, and it was apparently House who looked out from the inside and saw that it was him, and the door was opened. As soon as he entered, he found House logging into the CIA's website on his phone. House smiled when he saw him and asked, "Did you read that message too?" ”

"Yes."

"I'm on the homepage. In addition to the text introduction, there is also a video that is buffering ......, oh well, you can watch it. ”

The screen looks like a corner of the airport, the surveillance probe is facing the door of a bathroom, the environment looks quiet, and there is no one in the picture. Sha Pingping carefully identified the shooting time, it was more than eleven o'clock in the evening on the day Yu Qianhua was attacked. Suddenly, a figure walked out of the men's bathroom. I saw this person staggering, like a drunken state. The camera captures a picture of the person with his face up, and then freezes. Sha Ping and House hurriedly stared at the picture carefully, although the picture was a little rough, they could still tell that the person was indeed Matt. Dalton, but his face was pale, not like he was drunk.

The screen then proceeds. They saw Dalton stumble two steps in the footage before finally falling to the ground and fainting. Bangkok's temperatures are high all year round, and even though it's winter, Dalton wears only a T-shirt on his upper body. At this time, a strange scene appeared, only to see Dalton's bare right arm suddenly change from pale to dark brown, and then the smooth skin was covered with dense protrusions, first the forearm, slowly developing towards the palm and upper arm. His fingers began to grow long and sharp, and his nails grew out, two inches long, black and shiny, and looked unusually sharp. The dark protrusions hardened, climbed up to his neck, and slowly stopped at the base of his ear.

By this time, Dalton's entire right arm had turned black and brown, not only significantly thicker than before, but also much longer. The entire palm of the hand has completely turned into a claw, and the little finger is gone, becoming four fingers. At this time, Dalton slowly woke up, he looked at his deformed arm, looked up again, and after noticing that he was not paying attention to him, he took off his T-shirt and wrapped it around his arm, and walked out of the picture quickly. This is also the end of the video.

After watching the video, the two glanced at each other. House raised an eyebrow with a smile. Sha Ping also laughed.

"Interesting, isn't it?" House said.

"Could it be a Hollywood special effect?" Sha Ping asked.

"To do this in one day? I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult. House shook his head.

"Is that true?" Sha Ping said.

"Possibly. Don't you reconsider the idea that mutated soul eaters have become humans to sow discord between China and the United States? House asked.

"I never gave up on that possibility. I'm just a little disgusted by its source, it was given to me by you through Guo Songshan. So I put it in the least likely category. ”

"Haha, that's not your attitude." Seeing that Sha Ping was still arguing, House hurriedly said, "Okay, don't argue about this." So should we go to Bangkok to investigate next? ”

"Don't go. As long as it is the steps guided above, we will not take a single step. You might as well apply to investigate the laboratory of Sharp Motorcycle, as originally planned. See if the above will approve it. ”

In Sha Pingping's view, the various government departments in the United States are like a machine that has adjusted the steps, and they are staging the designed plot step by step and on schedule. So no matter how realistic they acted, he didn't want to be led by the nose.

For lunch, they called Feng Juan and Anneway to find a restaurant for the four of them to eat together. Feng Juan didn't say anything about the disappearance of the two, but Anneway was very unhappy. She kept asking where they were, and House told the truth. After listening to House's account, Anneway ran to the side and made a phone call without any shying of it.

Sharpe leaned over and asked, "Who do you guess she's calling?" ”

"Eighty percent are at the top of the Force Alliance. Most likely, the other party is Alexander himself. The vast majority of the warriors within the government are members of the Force Alliance. Only a few are recruited by the government itself. I think she also knew I knew who she was, so I didn't bother to hide it. House said.
