"One of the deceased in the North District, Wang Canghai, a branch mber of the Wang Family, was a top supplier in this region; the second deceased, Xiao i, was another partner of Wang Canghai, targeted by the one known as the big boss, intelligence in many aspects confird this woman as a direct seller to the client group; the third deceased, Ah San, Xiao i's boyfriend, died on the sa day as Xiao i, cause of death unknown; the fourth deceased, Zhang Qiang, a minor policeman at the North District Police Station, I speculate he was killed to silence him." Hua Qingyi paused, giving Wu Shuang enough ti to record the identities of these four victims, then pointed with one finger to the last na in the notebook. "Zhang Qiang is the key to breaking this case!"
"He's already dead!"
"Precisely because of his death, it's the breach in this case."
"Because of my involvent." Hua Qingyi nodded.
"The North District has always been well protected, every link from top to bottom is interconnected and intertwined, so in the files of your City Police Departnt, the cri rate here appears very low, but in fact, the bloodstains you saw in Ah San's room yesterday indicate that more than one bloody incident occurred there."
"That's why you asked if there was a report of a death toll here."
"Officer Wu, you know you're not just facing one or two murderers, it might be an organization, and also local officials you can't shake, you're only seeing the tip of the iceberg now."
"Hua Qingyi, have you ever considered the problem, since the entire hierarchy is colluding, how would you wrap it up?"
"This question was also asked by my old man, and once I was confused in this area as well." Hua Qingyi exhaled, although this is a question, such questions are to be expected at any ti. "In ancient tis, wasn't Ao Bai a scourge? Should he not have been eliminated just because of this? Yanjing is huge, losing one district doesn't affect any situation."
Wu Shuang seed to understand, she circled Zhang Qiang's na. "I suspect Director Zhao is related to this person."
"In the North District, you should pay attention to several people, Director Zhao, the owner of the guesthouse and his wife, and the young girl from the hardware store!"
"The guesthouse owner also has problems?"
"Probably a significant figure, the hardware store is the central point of a channel in the entire North District, you can start cracking down from the boundaries, closely monitor the guests coming and going, follow the clues to strike, the backstage boss will easily surface soon, but as for Tang Xiaoxia, your hope is slim, Wang Zhanting wants to take her down, you probably can't protect her."
"Wang Zhanting!" Wu Shuang repeated the na she heard in disbelief.
"Officer Wu, you're too surprised by the small things, Wang Canghai is a mber of the Wang Family, Tang Xiaoxia is influenced by drugs, do you think these two things aren't related? Occasionally pay attention to the political situation, it benefits you."
"I just think that speaking about this requires evidence."
"Evidence? Of course, it's needed, that's your duty, find it, collect it, but you don't need to eliminate it."
"Understood!"
"In the entire event, solve the cases you're supposed to solve yourself, find the connections between Wang Canghai and Wang Zhanting's private matters, as for Director Zhao and the guesthouse owner, as long as you find the evidence, wait for and Xiao Lin to return, do not act rashly, regardless of what important clues are discovered, do not pursue them alone, this is not a matter for you to act as a lone hero, I will assign so personnel for you to use, monitor and collect in secret, your investigation into the North District has already caused temporary panic among the other side, which is advantageous for you, but personal crisis awareness is also necessary."
"I get it, so how do I contact you?"
"No contact!" Hua Qingyi extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray. "Rember to avoid as much as possible anything or anyone related to Fourth Master, I don't want your previous efforts to be wasted."
"Did you find any clues in the low house?" Wu Shuang was curious about why Hua Qingyi suddenly told her these things.
"No, I couldn't find any remaining clues, so I forced my way in." He picked up the bag that he'd been carrying on his back from the ground. "Pick out a few items that are useful to you."
"What?" Opening the bag, Wu Shuang was stunned. "You're stockpiling arms!"
"I'm legally carrying them, stop wasting ti, hurry up, I don't have much ti, it's almost dark."
Wu Shuang zipped up the bag and pushed it back in front of Hua Qingyi. "I don't need these, you might find them more useful, but personally, I think these are good but can't be used as food."
"Makes sense!" Hua Qingyi understood what Wu Shuang was saying, no matter how good, you still need to eat, he chuckled. "After three days, if we haven't shown up, go back, don't stay here longer." After speaking, he picked up the bag and stepped out the door.
Watching such a back, Wu Shuang wasn't sure if she felt a sense of sentint, but there was so sadness. "Still missing one person," she muttered to herself while sitting alone. "What role does Mu Rongyun actually play in your minds?"
She felt very complicated, obviously an enemy, and has so kind of connection with the brain behind this organization, yet he's allowed to exist as if it's not a big deal, even in such a transparent manner, for what reason?
Wu Shuang annoyingly pulled at her long hair. Hua Qingyi is a man with a mind, succinctly summarizing the issues of the North District in his mind without implicating any high officials or involving so-called big figures, he only clarified the problems within her scope, perhaps this is his tenderness!
Thinking of this, Wu Shuang couldn't help but smile gently, looking at the untouched food on the plate, she called for room service.
Hua Qingyi watched the red clouds already floating in the sky, he hadn't expected to talk to Wu Shuang for so long, it was a spontaneous decision, he felt he was taking a risk, not using people as risks, but a risk on Wu Shuang's execution, she was definitively not a good executor, her personality determined her actions, she is a person of action.
This was his third ti coming here, each ti Hua Qingyi went straight forward after getting off the car, but after stopping the car this ti, he rely turned off the engine and shut off all the lights, imrsing himself and the car into a quiet, entirely dark environnt, the marks left by Xiao Lin flashed through his mind, a palm, a horizontal line from the thumb to the middle finger, this was a new code, he wasn't quite sure what Xiao Lin wanted to tell him, he stared at the building in front, listening to his own breathing.
From his breathing, Hua Qingyi knew he was very nervous. When the last bit of light was naturally replaced by the night, Hua Qingyi jumped out of the car, walked step by step towards that door while carrying his bag.
"I feel soone's watching us from inside there." This is what Wu Shuang told Hua Qingyi in the morning, and he rembered it, so when he arrived at the door, the flashlight's beam was directly cast on the bottom. Just as he guessed, there were barriers, unless soone inside opened it, it was impossible to enter from the outside.
Hua Qingyi stepped back four or five steps, rembering that this was an enclosed factory, with this door as the only entrance and exit, the wall was four or five ters tall, equivalent to two and a half floors, and the chimney for firing bricks was a buried structure, only about one ter exposed above the roof, a typical design of an equilateral triangle.
There was a window at the back of this gate, about three ters high, designed for ventilation and air exchange around the connection between wall and roof, a whole circle of gaps, small enough only for birds to pass, even big rats might find it too cramped.
Hua Qingyi returned to the door, grabbed the iron chain and found the lock on it, it was locked, if the door was opened from inside, creating the illusion of no entry would be easy, this lock had no function other than to create a false appearance. The lock, which could be easily opened with two wires, was discarded aside, the chain fell to the ground with a loud noise, as if telling the people inside about his arrival.
He tried pushing the door from inside, but it didn't budge. Hua Qingyi raised his flashlight, shining on every spot of the door, all along he hadn't carefully observed this door, only focused on the door handle, the iron chain beca a point of interest.
The door was a mix of wood and steel, the flashlight beam wandering over the door panel, so spots had lost paint, but the entire door panel was well preserved, it should have been unused for a long ti, which raised a question for Hua Qingyi, assuming there were people inside, entering and exiting would leave traces, but such traces were not obvious, indicating there should be other passages, the door was rely for show.
Just when he wanted to give up, he noticed three very small holes forming an inverted triangle on the left untouched wooden panel, he leaned closer, under the three points, there was the sa imprint as on the wall, three lines forming a straight line, what did it an, what was brother trying to tell ?
At the sa ti, sa night, but the sa scene did not appear, Hua Qingyi checked his watch, the ti between the door seams appearing twice was less than half an hour, but today seemingly the people inside didn't want him to enter, or maybe it would only open for people other than him? Haha, Hua Qingyi laughed bitterly, ceasing his obsession over this, he took out an octopus tool and two three-ter-long climbing ropes from the backpack.
"Luckily got one more, otherwise I'd have to play flying man." Adeptly tying the ropes using a sailor's knot on the octopus, Hua Qingyi went to the back of the building, here there was a window three ters high, if placed here as an observation point it could be a fine spot, but on this barren surface behind him what was there? Other than the gradually extending pipe leading underneath, nothing, just the clear river beside.(To be continued.
