Chapter 54: Borrowing a Knife
Municipal Police Department.
Director's Office.
A puff of smoke filled.
Director Tang Ji pinched the cigarette butt and extinguished it in the ashtray, slowly spit out a white smoke ring in his mouth, a face like bitterness and hatred loomed in the smoke, and he raised his eyes to look at the big fat man who stuffed the entire single sofa on the other side.
"Lao Bai, it's not me who protects the calf, it's really your reputation that is too stinky! Counting this time, in the past two years, you have tossed seven assistants into the intensive care ward of the hospital in a row, and two of them died on the spot...... You're the only one who's still alive, and there's no!"
"When the boys below heard that they were giving you Detective Bai Richie as an assistant, they were afraid to avoid it, either asking for sick leave, or excuse the relationship...... I can't help it!"
Bai Liqi put down the Moyu pipe and said with some dissatisfaction: "The police station is really not as good as the generation now!"
Tang Ji shook his head, "Do you think that today's young people are still like us back then, who have experienced the rain of bullets on the battlefield, crawled out of the pile of dead people, and are fearless? Otherwise, you should go back to the bureau, and I will apply for a deputy director from above, who will be responsible for the quality of young police officers......"
"I don't want to do this kind of hateful thing......" Bai Ritchie took two deep breaths of his pipe, and slowly puffed out white smoke from his nostrils, covering his facial expression, "Instead of going back to the bureau and being constrained everywhere, I still like to be a free, half-public and half-private detective." ”
Tang Ji smiled bitterly, "If you just investigate some cases done by ordinary people, it's nothing, but you always like to meddle in the affairs of that circle, don't forget, although you are a veteran and a former police officer, you are still an ordinary person in the end, you have no special abilities, and you don't know martial arts......"
Bai Ritch disagreed: "With the current level of science and technology, ordinary people's cases are not challenging, it is enough to have your police department in charge, only those people with all kinds of strange abilities to do the case, can arouse my interest, and bringing them to justice who are on the edge of the law is the meaning and mission of my detective career!"
"Okay, okay......" Tang Ji decisively admitted defeat, and just wanted to change the topic, the phone on the table suddenly rang, and when he picked it up and listened to it, his expression changed.
Bai Liqi sighed lightly, "It seems that you have something important to do today, and the assistant's business will be talked about another day......" said the round body left the sofa and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
Tang Ji suddenly stopped him, "There's a trouble, you help me ...... staff."
Berry raised his eyebrows and sat down again, and the single couch immediately let out an overwhelmed moan.
Tang Ji put down the microphone and rubbed his eyebrows: "Someone reported that a manor in the suburbs is a secret stronghold of the Dark Shadow Church, and now there are an unknown number of B-level and C-level black-clothed priests gathered......"
"Who reported it?" Beckridge perked up, and the detective's acumen immediately made him smell the trickiness of this matter, "Is there any evidence?"
Tang Ji smiled bitterly: "A screenshot that the anonymous hacker directly put on the official website of the police station seems to be an aerial picture of a small drone, and it can be seen that there is a C-level black-clothed priest in that manor, as for whether there are still priests above the level of B, no one can say for sure......" said and lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and frowned.
If the E-class and D-level abilities are only preparatory members of the transcendent circle, and the C-level is the full member, then the B-class is the leader in its own right.
No matter where they are, B-class powerhouses deserve the solemnity of the local authorities!
It is as if those B-class cult priests have mastered one or more large-scale evil arts, and once they are fully prepared to release them, they will do no less harm to ordinary people than a plague, which is enough to cause a large-scale collapse of social order.
Now, whether the anonymous report is true or not, it must have been filed with the state police department.
If he, the chief of the city's police, turns a blind eye, then if there really be a B-class priest to rebel in the future, then wouldn't he be the best scapegoat?
And before there is no definite news to prove that there is really a B-level black-clothed priest hidden there, the above will not easily dispatch B-level powerhouses, if he wants to send someone to investigate, with the authority of his city director, he can only seconded a few C-level elites, in case there are really B-level priests there, so that these C-level elites have no return, then it is also difficult for him to explain to the big man behind them.
In the final analysis, he himself is not an extraordinary powerhouse, and he cannot win the support and allegiance of the lower-level transcendentals, of course, if he himself is an extraordinary powerhouse, how can he be committed to a small city chief?
The police chief of the city where the state is located is considered to be a high authority in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact, he is just a high-ranking clerk who can distinguish between ordinary and extraordinary cases.
Not to mention that the master behind him can replace him at any time, let's just say that in the eyes of those seconded C-class transcendents, he is just a logistics nanny who can't get on the stage.
It's like a piece of paper that you throw away when you use it, and no one will take it to heart.
Bai Liqi obviously knew the embarrassing situation of his old friend, smashed the black jade pipe in his mouth, pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "The only way out for you this time is to find a way to use the authority that can only mobilize C-level ability to mobilize a B-level ability person......"
"Ahem...... Tang Ji choked on a puff of cigarette, "Do you still need to say this?"
"It was impossible to ...... before" Bai Liqi said confidently: "After all, whether it is the security base and crisis management department in the system, or the old opposition forces such as the Red Flame Martial Arts Hall, the White Shark Gang, and the Tiger Roaring Hall, they all have a mature task system, and the C-level commission is the C-level commission, and the B-level commission is the B-level commission, and it must not be mixed up." ”
"But don't forget, half a year ago, there was a new opposition force in the city......"
"You mean the Kurosaki family, the Kurosaki sister and brother ?!!" Tang Ji suddenly realized, thought for a while, and couldn't help but flash his eyes, "As long as I entrust this matter to Kurosaki Maniac as a C-level task, and vaguely hint that there is a possibility of encountering a B-level powerhouse during the execution, I am not afraid that his sister Ryoko Kurosaki will not ......"
Becky pointed his pipe at his old friend, "You must not let people know that I made this trick!"
......
Woods in the countryside.
"It's finally here!"
Senior Brother Kang, who had been watching the satellite monitoring in the car, shook Raymond, who was sleeping with his eyes closed in the passenger seat.
"Zoom in on the image and see who it is?" Raymond ripped off the blanket wrapped around him, glanced at the menacing convoy in the projection, and his mind raced again.
Just an hour or two of rest could not allow him to completely eliminate the fatigue he felt after the hard battle with the leopard-headed man before, and if he wanted to make a move at this moment, he could only exert ninety percent of his normal combat power at most.
"It's unlikely that it's someone from the security base or the crisis management department......" Senior Brother Kang analyzed while operating, "The official people are expensive, and the muddy waters like this situation are unknown, and people from unofficial forces such as the Red Flame Martial Arts Gym, the White Shark Gang, and the Tiger Roaring Hall will generally take their lives." ”
"In addition, the rest of the small forces don't have the courage to pick up the tiger whiskers of the B-level powerhouse, let alone the mysterious and unpredictable cult of the Dark Shadow......"
As he spoke, he suddenly sighed, pointed to a magnified young face in the projection and said, "Who is this?" It's not from our martial arts hall, and it doesn't seem to be the ...... of the White Shark Gang or Tiger Roaring Hall."
Raymond looked over and his expression moved: "It turned out to be him...... Crazy Kurosaki!"
I didn't expect to borrow a knife to kill someone this time, and the knife I borrowed would be this empty-handed rookie who had a one-sided relationship!
A total of seven black cars of all sizes drove directly in the direction of the manor, starting with an armored car, and Kurosaki was sitting in the passenger seat of the third car.
The reason why he was judged to be the leader at a glance was because the rest of the people in the car were all armed in camouflage, loaded with guns, and the empty epaulettes indicated that they were privately armed, except for the fact that Kurosaki was wearing a high-end bulletproof vest on his upper body, there was no extra burden.
This is the most direct difference between an ordinary soldier and a master of secret martial arts!
"Then there's no way...... Senior Brother Kang spread his hands, "I heard that this Kurosaki sister and brother is not simple, ordinary Internet channels can't find their specific information at all, and the information about them in the martial arts library is beyond the access authority of the two of us......"
A large red warning light suddenly appeared in the projection.
"Found the detection wave, it should be the other party's reconnaissance vehicle......" Senior Brother Kang's face was shocked, he hurriedly closed the toolbox, and pulled two thin transparent plastic sheets from the back seat of the car, one of which was handed to Raymond, "Quickly put it on!"
Raymond did not hesitate, took the plastic sheeting and learned to wrap himself and the car seat together quickly.
Senior Brother Kang sneered and explained, "Although the shell of my car has a camouflage coating, it is the lowest level, and it may not be able to hide from the other party's advanced detection equipment...... Of course, these two camouflage cloths are high-end goods, and they will definitely allow our vital signs to evade the detection of the other party!"
"It's just that from now on, all electronic devices will not work......"
Raymond didn't speak, just frowned and looked at him.
Senior Brother Kang hurriedly took out a pair of binoculars from under the seat, twisted it slightly, divided into two monoculars, and handed one of them to Raymond's camouflage cloth.
"This is also a high-end cargo, with no electronic infrared night vision function, not much worse than drone approaching aerial photography!"
The telescope is not lightweight, but full of texture, Raymond tried it, and he could indeed clearly observe the details at the gate of the manor.
This forest is located five or six kilometers away in front of the manor, and ordinary hand-held binoculars, whether military or civilian, can see nothing at such a distance, as if it is a rainy day with poor visibility.
Senior Brother Kang sighed lightly, and said with regret: "The real high-end equipment, in addition to the authorities, can also be obtained by a large organization like our martial arts hall, and ordinary retail investors can't buy it even if they have money, and I also spent a lot of effort to find these two pieces......
"Of course, you are different from me, when you become a C-level martial artist and become an outer disciple, you can borrow some of the equipment of the martial arts hall to do private work, but if it is lost or damaged, you will also have to compensate according to the price. ”
Raymond asked casually, "Senior Brother mentioned the White Shark Gang and Tiger Roaring Hall before, ...... they are?"
"These will be exposed to when you start to go out in the field, I know a limited amount, the White Shark Gang and the Tiger Roaring Hall are the secret martial arts organizations in this city second only to our Red Flame Martial Arts. ”
"This city is near the sea, and the White Shark Gang mainly begs for a living at sea, wearing the skin of a shipping company. ”
"And Tiger Roaring Hall originally started by collecting protection money, which is considered an upgraded force of the local gang, and the quality of its members is uneven, until now, most of the disciples are still from the bad youth in society, unlike our martial arts hall, which only needs to be educated and qualified......"
Between gossip.
Kurosaki's motorcade came into view of the telescope, but stopped behind a small hill two kilometers away from the manor, and fifty or sixty soldiers got out of the car and dispersed and lurked.
Alone with Kurosaki, wearing a grimace mask that symbolized the Samurai of the Furi Peninsula, he walked far behind the manor, and quickly disappeared into the wilderness.
Raymond said thoughtfully: "Sure enough, the madman Kurosaki didn't dare to attack this manor on a large scale, but chose to sneak in and explore first!"
"After all, if the people in the manor are not cult priests, but other transcendent organizations, a direct attack will undoubtedly lead to a mortal enmity......
