"What do you mean?" Cui Peng felt as if he had caught something. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Have you ever heard of Ali Pasha?" asked the captain rhetorically.
"Ali Pasha, this is a native of the earth, isn't it? There are a lot of names. Cui Peng said.
"Yes, but I'm talking about this one of the internationally famous antiquities thief, the Ali Pasha, nicknamed the Clever Empty-Handed. And he is not Turkish, he is Australian-Hungarian, but he just happened to take the name AliPasha. ā
"Is there anything special about this person?"
"Although Ali Pasha is not well-known outside, but in the cultural relics world and the police, he is famous, he has been debuting for almost ten years, although there are not many cases, but every time the object of the shot, it has been proved to be a treasure with great influence. When Captain Guan said this, he deliberately emphasized the words "major impact".
"So far, Ali Pasha has never lost his hand, and all the information about his identity, appearance, personality, etc., is still a mystery. As for his nationality and ethnicity, it was revealed by one of his former associates. But whether this statement is true or a smokescreen released by Ali Pasha himself, no one knows. ā
"Now Ali Pasha is wanted, in addition to the police and Interpol of various countries, including the intelligence and security services of many countries, Lao Mi's FBI, CIA and NSA, Neon's Cabinet Intelligence Research Office, and Britain's MI6, are all looking for him. ā
"This-" Cui Peng was stunned when he heard this: "What did this person do? Did he steal the queen's crown or take the president's hard drive?"
"Hehe," Captain Guan smiled, "neither." Ali Pasha often hunted for things that didn't seem very precious, but as they turned out, they all had an extraordinary origin and function. More information revealed that this guy is likely to be a Sunbird person?"
"Sunbirds?"
Hearing this name, not only Cui Peng, but even Qiu Zhe was a little moved. Ordinary people may have a dark eye on the name Sunbird and don't know what to do at all. But for the two of them, the name and the meaning behind it are thunderous.
Sunbird is a well-known organization of supernatural people in the world, and it is said that it ranks fourth among the top 12 supernatural organizations in the world. In the "underground world", almost everyone knows and knows about their existence, and every time they act, they can have an extremely far-reaching impact.
The so-called "underground world" corresponds to the mainstream world, and generally refers to all people who are not recognized by the mainstream society and are hidden behind the shadows, including underworld organizations, terrorists, cultivators, supernatural people, and even non-human beings such as mountain spirits and wild monsters. Among them, underworld organizations and terrorists have a strong sense of presence in mainstream society, and often show their faces in the news media, which can be regarded as a gray area at the intersection of the mainstream world and the underground world.
And cultivators, anomalous organizations, and other non-human beings are the core of the underground world, and belong to the real forbidden realm. In addition to the people in the field, only the top level and relevant departments of each country have contact with these personnel, and they cooperate with each other and guard against each other.
"This guy is a Sunbird?What things did he steal?" In an instant, Cui Peng understood what Captain Guan meant.
"That's right," Captain Guan nodded, and said with some approval, "Those things that he stole turned out to have a great origin later, either related to some ruins, or the items themselves have some mysterious power." ā
In the underworld, the word ruin has a special meaning, and only places that are related to surreal forces such as alien civilizations, supernatural people, and spiritual organizations are eligible to be called ruins. For example, the ruins of the Mayans, the pyramids of ancient Egypt, or the caves left by the ancient immortals of Middle-earth.
"I understand," Cui Peng said: "This guy is not a thief of cultural relics at all, he is the "detector" of the sunbird, but what he likes happens to be related to cultural relics." Come to think of it, most of the things related to mysterious powers have a history of many years, and it is normal for them to belong to the category of cultural relics. However," he said, "what does this have to do with what we said? Could it be that the stolen artifacts were made by Ali Pasha?"
"There is no definite evidence yet," the captain said: "But judging from the situation at the scene, the other party has no clues left, and we have checked the monitoring and protective measures of the exhibition hall, which is basically the top specification, and this situation can still be successful, and it is also in line with the style of Ali Pasha." ā
"What's more, just a week before the theft of the antiquities, we received a tip-off that Ali Pasha had probably infiltrated our territory. After that, he set a task and cast a net across the country to monitor all the targets he might target, and Jiangdong was naturally included in the monitoring scope. ā
"And then something happened here, so I brought you here?" Cui Peng understood.
"Yes, so far, of all the surveillance targets, only here has been a theft, and the style is exactly the same, so we touched it. ā
"What does that have to do with our school? You don't have to come here to investigate the case, do you?"
"It's just a routine," Captain Guan smiled, "No one dares to ignore such a big fish as Ali Pasha." After the exhibition hall was stolen, we arrived as soon as possible, and cordoned off the scene, but we still didn't find any clues, those cultural relics seemed to be missing, and all the protection and monitoring measures were not alarmed. We had no choice but to expand the scope of the search, and if there was any recent disturbance in Jiangdong, there would be a special line to report to us. ā
"According to Ali Pasha's style, what he can look at must have something to do with surreal power. And Jiang Da here, isn't something strange happening?" Captain Guan said this, and glanced at Cui Peng with a smile: "We happened to be nearby, and when we got a report, we stopped by to take a look." I heard that your kid is also involved in it, and he is very enthusiastic. Why, there's your sweetheart in there?"
"It turns out that you are talking about those unconscious girls," Cui Peng suddenly realized, ignoring Captain Guan's ridicule, and thinking in his heart whether to tell the results of his investigation, lest the other party take a detour.
At this moment, Captain Guan's mobile phone suddenly rang, he glanced at the number, and casually pressed the answer button: "Hey, what's going on? Okay, I'll be there right away." He put down the phone and said embarrassedly: "I have something urgent to go first, let's get back and get in touch." ā
After he finished speaking, he got up directly, went to the counter to settle the bill, and hurried out of the store. The vigorous and resolute style, and the previous slow and logical manners, are like two people.
After Captain Guan left, Qiu Zhe asked in a low voice, "Who is this guy?"
Cui Peng stuck out his tongue: "Don't call people guys, this captain is called Guan Linfeng, and he is good friends with my seventh uncle." Don't look at him always smiling, he is a big man in the Security Bureau. ā
Security Bureau?
The three words that ran out of Cui Peng's mouth startled Qiu Zhe: How could they alarm these people?
When he was still in his hometown, he had heard Lai Shouzhong's lesson more than once, saying that the patriarch had a testament: those who practice qi should stay away from the court and not get involved with people in the official face. Although Lai Shouzhong never explained in detail why the patriarch left such a legacy. However, it is also vaguely revealed that this testament is likely to be related to the fall of the Shenxiao Sect.
"I think that at the beginning, the Shenxiao faction encompassed the four seas, the world was invincible, and all the heavens, earth, people, gods and ghosts were not subject to its constraints, but they were wiped out overnight, which is really a pity. More than once, Qiu Zhe heard Daoists who were familiar with allusions talk about the past of the Shenxiao Sect, shaking their heads and sighing one by one, but they were vague.
Because of the patriarch's posthumous teachings, Qiu Zhe has always been respectful of the personnel in the court, and the meeting with Guan Linfeng was the first time he had close contact with an official figure in so many years.
"It's not as terrible as Master said. Recalling Guan Linfeng's words and deeds, Qiu Zhe felt that aside from their identities, these official characters were actually not much different from ordinary people, and they didn't understand the patriarch's legacy.
But this thought was only in his mind for a moment, and he shook his head and dismissed it.
When the hand pointed to midnight, Qiu Zhe once again came to the corridor of Building 17 of the South Park. Unlike last time, this time he came alone. Even though it wasn't raining, the hallways were still dreary, and visibility in the hallways was still very low, despite the street lights at the entrances to each floor.
There are basically no people living in the dormitory, not to mention that even if there are people, they will have already fallen asleep at this point in time. A hazy fog gradually grew in the corridor, suppressing the visibility even lower, and the surrounding air was unconsciously filled with a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere.
Qiu Zhe followed the stairs all the way to the roof of the building. The mist lingered around him. Despite the dazzling starlight in the sky, from the rooftop, everything outside seems to be separated by a layer of stained glass.
Qiu Zhe took out the teddy bear from his backpack, held it in his hand, and quietly recited the incantation in his mouth. A moment later, from the teddy bear's humble body, there was a thin line that could not be identified by the naked eye, which was the bond between the object and the owner. The deeper the relationship, the stronger the bond.
The thin line keeps stretching, and I don't know how far it sticks out. Qiu Zhe mentioned it casually, and on the flat ground in front of him, a little girl in a blue dress suddenly appeared, like a fish on a hook, and her gloomy and lonely eyes revealed a trace of panic.
