Chapter 86 I Don’t Want to Be a Policeman Anymore
The air conditioning in the conference room was turned on very high, and the central air-conditioning outlet emitted a slight hum.
When Shen Qingze pushed open the door, he met seven or eight gazes. The fluorescent tube reflected cold spots of light on the glass tabletop.
The man sitting at the end of the long table put down his tablet computer. The light sound of the metal pen cap hitting the table made the air suddenly tense.
The man was wearing a dark gray work jacket with a dark-patterned badge on his cuffs, and his jawline was as sharp as a paper cutter.
Shen Qingze paused, and suddenly felt a slight numbness on the back of his neck.
Why did he always feel like he had seen this person somewhere?
That angular profile reminded him of a blurry figure reflected on the glass door of a convenience store during a heavy rain.
"Counselor Shen, long time no see"
"This is Liang Zhao, the commander-in-chief of our operation."
Fang Changling patted Shen Qingze's shoulder, his voice carrying a familiar smile.
"Captain Liang, this is Shen Qingze, the knowledgeable expert consultant I mentioned to you."
Shen Qingze suddenly remembered that this was the case of Liu Mincheng, and the captain Liang he met at the convenience store at the beginning. (You can go to Chapter 2)
What a narrow road for enemies to meet.
"I wonder if Consultant Shen has heard of the drug trafficking and kidnapping cases seven years ago?"
When Liang Zhao stood up, he brought with him a cold smell of leather. There was a light scar on the base of his right hand.
“No, I’d like to hear more about it.”
Shen Qing answered truthfully that seven years ago, he was probably still hanging out with Yeluvis in the underworld and had no right to care about the affairs of the world of the living.
The corners of Liang Zhao's mouth curled up slightly, but it didn't reach his eyes. He stretched out his hand to signal Shen Qingze,
Shen Qing held that hand, and his fingertips touched the thin calluses on the other's palm.
"Liang Zhao is now the leader of the serious crime team and one of the main persons in charge of the criminal investigation department. He has full command authority for this operation."
Fang Changling sat down first, Qin Xiyang and Lai Yun sat down on either side of him, while Shen Qing let go of his hand and sat on the sofa behind the conference table.
He didn't want to get too close to the big shots in the police station.
Liang Zhao threw down the remote control of the projector, and the wall instantly lit up with a yellow satellite map, with red dots flashing in the abandoned warehouse area.
"I reviewed the case files from seven years ago and compared them with the mass disappearances this time. Most of the missing people were last seen in this area,"
"This was the hideout at that time..."
Fang Changling frowned and asked in a rough voice,
"But wasn't that place turned into ruins by the explosion that year? There are no people around it until now, right?"
Qin Xiyang tapped the pen in his hand.
"We have re-investigated the secret passage previously discovered by Lai Yun and found some new traces, as if someone dragged something there."
"Drag marks?"
Qin Xiyang nodded and took out a stack of photos from his briefcase. Some of them were already yellowed, while others were still warm from being printed.
"We can make a comparison. Although the secret passage has collapsed a lot, there are indeed new traces near the entrance."
Shen Qing curiously leaned over to take a look. In the two completely different photos, the new one had a drag mark on the ground, which seemed to be a small drag mark, and it seemed that some debris had been rubbed off, which looked like clothing fibers.
"So this is not an ordinary kidnapping case."
Qin Xiyang suddenly interrupted, tapping the tablet with his fingertips.
"In the transaction records I intercepted on the dark web, the same bronze ware serial number as in the drug trafficking case appeared."
Lai Yun slammed a pile of information on the table, and the photos in the criminal investigation notes scattered: broken pottery pieces, bloody bandages, and the weird smile in the last surveillance picture.
"It's close to the coast. I suspect this is not just a simple kidnapping case. It may be related to the drug trafficking case of that year."
Shen Qing stared at the photo, his throat tightening.
He was incredibly suspicious. Could it be that the spiritual organization that Ye Xiang joined was also smuggling drugs? ! Did Ye Xiang know what he was doing?
Moreover, Xiao Qihao is a policeman. If Xiao Qihao knew that Ye Xiang might be involved in this, he might not understand the law very well, but he knew that Ye Xiang would definitely go to jail.
Liang Zhao looked towards Fang Changling and said helplessly,
"I never expected that this group of people would actually attack your nephew."
Fang Changling's face suddenly became even gloomier, and he held his chin and fell into deep thought. Lai Yun said sternly,
"Liang Zhao, stop talking."
"Feel sorry"
Fang Changling shook his head and said in a deep voice,
"If I had known earlier that this case might be related to the case seven years ago, I would never have let him get involved. I don't know why they targeted Qi Hao."
Most of the people present here have experienced the case seven years ago, and they all understand that this is extremely dangerous.
Because of what happened back then, the few people who had once shared the joys and sorrows are now going their separate ways.
No one wants to recall the past.
Shen Qingze scanned the faces of everyone present and found that Lai Yun had been looking uneasy since he came in.
He asked softly,
"Doctor Lai, is there something sad?"
Lai Yun dug her nails deep into her palms. The lights in the conference room shattered into countless cold rays in her eyes.
Fang Changling said in a complicated voice,
"The leader of the drug trafficking organization back then was Lai Yun's brother"
"His name is Lai Lin,"
She heard her hoarse voice trembling,
"Fourteen years ago, he suddenly disappeared, saying he was going to travel around the world, and he rarely contacted his family."
Fang Changling's teacup slammed heavily on the table, and Qin Xiyang clenched his fists silently.
Liang Zhao leaned back in his chair, and the metal seat made a slight creaking sound. Only Lai Yun was still mechanically flipping through the documents.
"We have almost traced the drug trafficking case seven years ago to the end. According to the intelligence, the drug manufacturing den is hidden in a warehouse area."
Lai Yun's pupils suddenly contracted violently, and the information slipped from his fingers. In the photo, the man in a white coat was lowering his head to adjust the reagents.
In the closed laboratory, she raised her gun tremblingly, but her brother just took off his mask, with a kind of tenderness almost compassion in his eyes.
"Xiaoyun, there are some things you shouldn't know."
He reached out to touch her trembling gun muzzle, and the alarm in the laboratory suddenly exploded sharply. The moment Lai Yun pulled the trigger, her brother suddenly pushed her into the ventilation duct.
As the heat wave hit him from behind, Lai Yun heard his own desperate roar.
The inner wall of the pipe scratched her forehead. She fumbled desperately in the thick smoke, and her fingertips suddenly touched the cold metal test tube.
The pale green liquid inside was boiling violently, just like the bottles and jars in my brother's laboratory with skull and snake labels on them.
When she stumbled out of the secret passage, the test tube in her arms was still hot.
The warehouse was engulfed in flames, the sirens of fire trucks were blaring from far away, and what she was tightly grasping in her palm was a sample of a new drug that was enough to destroy the entire city, and the glass tube was stained with her brother's blood.
She got in Qin Xiyang's car and rushed back to the police station in the rainy night, but she learned halfway that a violent explosion had occurred in the evidence room where Lai Lin's evidence was stored.
Before she had time to think about it, a black car suddenly crashed into her and Qin Xiyang's car! !
She could only hear her own whispers amid the buzzing sound.
"Xi Yang, I don't want to investigate cases anymore,"
“I don’t want to be a police officer anymore.”
