January 19, 2023, 21:00 p.m., Polish City Traffic Police Brigade.

"How's it going?" After Li Xiaonan showed his ID, he hurriedly walked into the monitoring room.

"Boss." Xiao Yang took Li Xiaonan to the big screen where the surveillance video was playing, pointed to one of the freeze-frame videos and said, "It's Zongji." ”

Following the direction of Xiao Yang's finger, Li Xiaonan clearly saw Zong Ji's long black and red hair, which was driving the Maybach that had a "one-sided relationship".

In the co-pilot's seat was a man wearing a baseball cap.

"Saraville." Li Xiaonan muttered.

"Where's the slashed taxi?" Li Xiao asked the traffic police who accompanied him.

"The driver was questioned next door, and according to his confession, there was originally a passenger in his car, but I don't know when, the passenger left, and he didn't say hello." The traffic police replied cooperatively.

"Take me there." Li Xiaonan frowned.

From the beginning of the way, Li Xiaonan was thinking about the reason why the car belonging to Shalaville appeared at this location and hit and run.

To be at least sure, the "Church" is a criminal organization formed by "degenerate" detectives and all sorts of antisocial personality lunatics.

Therefore, drunk driving or drunken driving can be ruled out.

Therefore, since this Maybach is here, there must be a reason for its appearance.

Obviously, maybe that taxi is the key to solving the problem.

If the problem is not with the driver, then there is a big problem with the passenger who left without a reason.

“...”

After inquiry.

Li Xiaonan stretched out his right hand and rubbed the stubble on his chin as he paced down the corridor — after questioning him, he was almost certain that there was nothing wrong with the driver.

To be on the safe side, he also had the driver's fingerprints taken and compared in the database.

The results also showed that the taxi driver's identity was true and that he had no criminal or public order record.

"So it's the passenger." Li Xiao couldn't think about it, and immediately took out his mobile phone and instructed the police detective on duty to go to the back door of the taxi to extract valid fingerprints for comparison.

Li Xiaonan walked out of the traffic police brigade unconsciously, and the strange thing was that he didn't see Xiao Yang all the way.

"This stinky boy." Li Xiao couldn't think about it: "Go back first without making a sound?" ”

“...”

January 20, 2023, 6:00 a.m., Office of the Inspector of the Polish City Police.

Li Xiaonan yawned and got up from the desk.

Because he was concerned about the progress of the fingerprint comparison, he chose to spend the night at the police station and wait for the results.

The problem is that the driver's business seems to be good, which leads to an extremely large number of uncovered fingerprints on the rear seat doors.

Therefore, the work of extracting fingerprints for comparison has become long and cumbersome.

"Ananda." With a knock on the door, Lao Zhong entered Li Xiaonan's office, and he held a report and said: "The work of fingerprint extraction and comparison has yielded results." ”

"A total of 64 fresh, intact fingerprints were taken from the back seat of the taxi and on the doors on both sides of the rear seat."

"According to our database, 60 of them have been matched to their owners. The remaining 4 fingerprints have been identified by traces, and it can basically be judged that they belong to the same hand of the same person. ”

"However, no one who can be successfully matched in the Polish city system has been found, and at the same time that Sakura Kakura is taking people to investigate the owner of the fingerprints that have been matched, the trace examination department is also expanding the scope of fingerprint comparison."

Taking the report from Lao Zhong's hand, Li Xiaonan nodded: "It's hard work." ”

At this time, Lao Zhong's brows were twisted into the shape of "Chuan", and he continued: "There is... Did you hear anything last night, Ananda? ”

Li Xiao was surprised: "I led the police officer on duty to the traffic police brigade to extract suspicious fingerprints that may exist on the car door, and I didn't return here until three o'clock in the morning, and then contacted the trace inspection department to match the fingerprints..."

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiaonan continued: "I can be sure that there are no strange noises... I slept very lightly last night. ”

"Is that so?" Old Zhong's brows furrowed even tighter, and his tone was serious: "But when I came to the office this morning... I noticed the lock on the door of the office area, as if someone had pried it open. ”

"After checking it out, I found that it was, and that the man used the same technique used to pry open room 2001 in the writer's apartment the other day..."

When the words fell, Li Xiaonan hurriedly got up, used his fingerprint to unlock a dark grid on the wall behind him, pulled it out, and pressed the only big red button in the dark grid, and then Li Xiaonan walked out of the door of his office and entered the office area, and a peaceful scene came into his eyes - scattered detectives were sitting in front of the computer "crackling" and knocking on something, and some police detectives who had not slept all night were lying on the sofa on the side of the area to take a nap.

Li Xiaonan's gaze swept over the entire office area, and from his own memory, as far as the eye could see, the documents on these desks were even the same as last night, and there was no trace of being tampered with or peeked at.

"Everyone..."Li Xiaonan clapped his hands, his tone was serious: "Immediately check whether the documents on your desk are missing, moved, or viewed." ”

"At the same time, carefully inspect the blind spots of each desk, and use the detection device to see if there are any eavesdropping, recording equipment, or other devices capable of emitting electronic signals... and..."

"Bombs."

When the words fell, there was no panicked uproar, and as Li Xiaonan approached a workstation, all the detectives present quickly began to move.

While inspecting the blind spots and dead corners of the workstation, Li Xiaonan said: "The emergency signal shielding device has been activated, and we need to carefully inspect the entire office area within fifteen minutes of its work, and do not act rashly once any suspicious parts or devices are found." ”

"Uncle Zhong, please go to the forensic office and inform Xiao Xia to use the internal phone to request support from the explosion-proof team."

“...”

Time passed minute by minute, and five minutes had passed since Lao Zhong's hurried departure, and according to Li Xiaonan's expectations, the explosion-proof team was already on the way to the police station at this time.

Given the proximity of the blast team to the police station, they will be able to arrive in about five minutes.

So...

"I need to find what was left behind by the infiltrator yesterday within the five minutes that the explosion-proof team arrived..."Li Xiaonan muttered subconsciously.

“...”

The detectives move quickly, and although they usually seem to be casual and gossipy, there is no doubt that they are indeed excellent people who can protect the safety of the party.

"Area A is over, chief, no findings."

"Sector B is finished, nothing has been found."

"Completion of Zone C..."

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the office area, the voices of the detectives sounded one after another.

The entire office was tacitly divided into nine areas, A through I, and their search was orderly and swift, without the slightest timidity or panic, even if there was a suspicion that there might be a bomb at the scene.

"So it's all here," Li Xiaonan muttered to himself.

Then he crouched down and looked at the desk that belonged to him in the last area.

Sure enough, in the drawer at the bottom right of the desk, a cardboard box rudely wrapped in transparent glue was found.

On one side of the carton, there is a hole that has been dug out at random, and there is a flickering red light in it...

“...”

Five minutes later.

As the detective of the explosion-proof team exhaled heavily, he looked at Li Xiaonan, who was also wearing a heavy explosion-proof suit behind him, and said: "Except for a modified signaling device, no detonation device containing gunpowder or nitroglycerin or other chemicals has been detected. ”

"Whew..."Li Xiaonan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's hard work..."

The detective shook his head through the blast suit: "You've already come to your senses, haven't you, Ananda." ”

As the voice fell, there was a "pass" sound in the Inspector's office - it was the dark compartment that carried the emergency device that automatically retracted the wall, and the blocking of electronic signals was lifted at this point.

Taking off the heavy explosion-proof suit, Li Xiaonan said, "Call them back." ”

The detective bowed slightly, and walked out of the office area with the explosion-proof suit that Li Xiao was difficult to take off.

The object that appeared in front of Li Xiaonan's eyes at this time was something similar to the Internet dialer in the old era. The difference is that on this flat device, next to the flashing red dot, there is a round lens, which seems to be a structure like a lens.

"Wireless player?" The old bell looked at the device on the table and muttered to himself.

As he spoke, Lao Zhong put on his gloves, picked up the device and fiddled with it for a while, then pointed to a transparent glass wall in the office area, pointed to a depression above the device and said: "Here is its switch, this is a very old object, using a lithium battery as a wireless player supported by electricity." With today's device, I can't take it apart and read the contents stored in it, because this type of storage device was obsolete more than a decade ago..."

"It turns out that it would be wrong to be too advanced..."Xiao Xia, who was standing next to Li Xiaonan, muttered quietly.

"That's why you have to press this button, right?" Li smiled and motioned for Lao Zhong to step back.

In the complicated eyes of everyone, Li Xiaonan pressed the button that represented the switch with a solemn face.

In an instant, a violent explosion was heard in the parking lot of the police station.

The instantaneous high pressure generated by the explosion pushed the scorching air and hit the walls of the entire building, and the heat wave shattered all the glass windows on the first and second floors of the police station in an instant, and the scorching air mixed with broken glass also knocked out the people who were concentrated in the office area at the same time.

“...”

"Ahem... Ahem..."

The sound of coughing one after another sounded in the billowing smoke and dust, Li Xiaonan shook his dizzy head for a long time, and vaguely heard the horns of the fire truck and ambulance outside the building in his ears.

At the same time, on the wall in front of everyone's eyes scratched by the swept broken glass, a figure with his back to them appeared, he was wearing a dark blue suit, through the thick smoke floating in front of him, Li Xiaonan finally saw the pattern on Saraville's suit - he could vaguely distinguish that it was two giant snakes outlined by black and silver lines respectively, they were drawn intermittently, the two giant snakes leaned out from the position of Saraville's side, and then intertwined with each other in the position behind him, and then parted on his shoulders, Passing through his two arms, the two snake heads finally opened their mouths at the wrists of both hands, revealing their pale fangs...

"See you again," Saraville's emotionless voice came from the video, "Inspector Lee." ”
