Chapter 5 Are you affectionate or heartless?
Before opening the melon-eating system, Li Xiaogou's criminal history in his mind was like: the dark history of the entertainment industry + drug abuse and drug resale.
After clicking on the melon-eating system: my three views have been shattered.
Drug use and drug resale is not the most shocking thing in agent Lu Chenzhou's long criminal history.
——He was actually a member of the criminal gang that robbed a gold shop and killed 8 people twelve years ago.
Criminal investigation technology was underdeveloped back then, allowing this group of people to escape by chance. Unexpectedly, he actually lurked in the crew and became a martial arts director.
The ones who tied up Jiang Mu and Lu Chenzhou were the remaining seven people.
What a crew full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers! The value of this statement is still increasing.
In just a moment of distraction, the situation in the yard suddenly changed. Lu Chenzhou, who had been limp as a dead fish, suddenly jumped up, struggling violently like a mad dog, and bit the arm of the man who slapped him.
The two accomplices rushed forward to pull, but Lu Chenzhou tore off pieces of their flesh. In the chaos, the black mask was pulled off to the ground.
The air froze instantly.
The moonlight shone through the sycamore leaves, casting shadows on Jiang Mu's pale face. Lu Chenzhou was still going crazy, but he knew that this group of people would not let them live.
"I want to eat melon." Li Xiaogou said coldly.
"Whose food?"
"Lu Chenzhou's."
"After analysis and deduction, I suggest that the host eat the kidnappers' melon and then resolve the issue through negotiation."
"I want Lu Chenzhou's melon." Li Xiaogou stared at the black shadow swaying in the courtyard, and he seemed to smell the rusty smell of blood at the tip of his nose.
Five minutes later, Li Xiaogou took advantage of the chaos in the yard and successfully sneaked into the second floor of the villa.
Lu Chenzhou's safe is hidden here.
I entered the password to open the safe, and sure enough, there was more than 800,000 yuan in cash hidden inside - brand new banknotes neatly bundled, with the smell of ink mixed with a pungent odor that went straight to my brain.
These are the fees paid by the drug addicts.
He put the bank card in his trouser pocket and wrapped the cash in a silk pillowcase, then went to the entrance and touched the switch.
Click——
The moment the power was turned off, the villa fell into darkness.
"What's going on?" A noise came from the courtyard.
Li Xiaogou hid in the dark, watching the cold light of the kidnapper's mobile phone screen approach from far away.
"The circuit breaker has tripped." The man shone his cell phone and pushed the circuit breaker up.
The light returned to the villa. The person was about to leave when he caught a glimpse of the scene out of the corner of his eye and was stunned.
There is a person hiding behind the glazed platform.
He tiptoed closer, picked up the kitchen knife on the table, turned his feet, and chopped down with lightning speed -
With a clang, the kitchen knife fell to the ground.
There was a lot of money wrapped in the cloth that he thought was the corner of a piece of clothing.
Someone has found the money in the villa and hidden it away secretly.
Who is it?
No matter who you are, since you are the first, don’t blame me for being the fifteenth!
After rewrapping the money and stuffing it into his arms, the man stood up and looked for a place to hide the money.
Li Xiaogou found the right opportunity and rushed out. As expected, the sound of the iron door slamming alarmed others.
"Who?!" The guilty man rushed out first, but he didn't see anyone. Cold sweat soaked his back.
He stuffed the banknotes in with force, and when he turned around, he saw his accomplice carrying a blood-stained baseball bat, looking at him with a smile on his lips, and his pupils flickered with a crazier light than when he robbed the vault that year.
The crystal chandelier shook violently during the fight, casting distorted human shadows onto the oil paintings on the second floor, interspersed with screams and curses.
Li Xiaogou stopped and listened for a while, and confirmed that the kidnappers were already fighting. He took the opportunity to go around to the west wall. The moonlight lengthened his figure as he climbed over the low wall, and he landed on the ground as nimbly as a cat.
The scene inside the courtyard was shocking. Jiang Mu's wrists were bleeding from the hemp rope, and he was trying to save himself by hooking his toes on the gravel nearby. Lu Chenzhou lay slumped in the moonlight, the white foam at the corners of his mouth gleaming with phosphorescence.
Jiang Mu was overjoyed to see Li Xiaogou.
Li Xiaogou untied the rope without saying a word: "Let's go, let's get out of here first."
"Take Lu Chenzhou with you." Jiang Mu grabbed his clothes.
"Are you thinking this is a heroic film?" Li Xiaogou kicked the heavy Lu Chenzhou away. Seeing the wound on Jiang Mu's mouth, he swallowed his curse words. "I already notified Team Yun on the way here. He will come to rescue us soon. There's no way we can escape with the two of you."
"Then you take him away." Jiang Mu's eyes were stubborn. "Once they find out I've escaped, they'll immediately move away. Then Lu Chenzhou will be dead! He knows important clues to the drug industry chain. Once he dies, this clue will be completely cut off. Who knows how many people will die at the hands of those drug dealers!"
"You won't have to die if you stay?"
"At least I'm awake and I can find a way to delay time."
Suddenly, the night wind brought a smell of cigarettes and alcohol - the unique smell of the kidnappers.
Li Xiaogou's solar plexus was throbbing.
The moonlight drew a sharp line of light and shadow between the two of them. Jiang Mu was about to speak when Li Xiaogou threw Lu Chenzhou over his shoulder and said, "If I die, you will be held responsible."
The two began to climb over the wall.
Lu Chenzhou's heavy body swayed with every climb, and his shoulder blades creaked under the heavy pressure.
When his fingertips finally touched the cold metal barbs on the top of the wall, he suddenly heard the sound of a metal baseball bat being dragged across the ground from the bushes behind him.
"Go on!" Li Xiaogou pushed Lu Chenzhou off his shoulder. At the same time, the kidnapper, who had sensed something was wrong, rushed up and grabbed Li Xiaogou's ankle.
Just as Li Xiaogou was about to be dragged back to the yard, three beams of infrared aiming light suddenly hit the kidnapper's eyebrows. Several camouflaged figures flashed behind the wisteria trellis, and the luminous paint on the armbands outlined a dragon totem.
"This is the Daxia police. Put down your weapons immediately."
Li Xiaogou felt his ankle loosen and he fell to the other side of the wall.
Fortunately, Jiang Mu caught him.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Mu leaned over anxiously to check if Li Xiaogou was injured, and the back of his neck suddenly hit the cold brick wall.
The veins on the back of Li Xiaogou's bloody hands bulged, and he grabbed his collar and pushed him against the wall.
"The police couldn't have arrived so quickly, yet you don't look surprised at all, like you've known about it for a long time." Li Xiaogou's voice was wrapped in the chill of the night wind, and his eyelashes cast blade-like shadows under his eyes. "While watching me climb the wall carrying this pile of mud on my back, were you gambling on the intercom?"
Jiang Mu's Adam's apple slid with difficulty under the shackles: "Team Yun's deployment... ahem... is never in advance..."
The red and blue beams of the police station's revolving light swept across their overlapping figures. Li Xiaogou suddenly loosened his fingers, and Jiang Mu leaned against the wall and coughed.
The sound of tires rubbing against the ground could be heard in the distance. A black Audi A8L stopped outside the cordon like a ghost, with its bulletproof windows lowered to a gap of half a finger's width.
The car door opened, and a tall and straight man in combat uniform walked out.
Yunlou's combat boots crushed the dead leaves on the road and finally stopped less than half a meter in front of Li Xiaogou.
"Captain." Jiang Mu saluted immediately, but hid his body backward, using his shadow to cover the marks on his neck caused by Li Xiaogou.
Yunlou's gaze sliced through the night like a scalpel, his voice as cold as a winter night: "Has Jiang Mu taught you the mission rules?"
"Yes."
"Clause 1 of Article 8, recite it to me."
Li Xiaogou's Adam's apple rolled out a mechanical swallowing sound: "You are not allowed to use supernatural powers on non-mission targets..."
"Yeah." Yunlou nodded, his eyes falling on Li Xiaogou, "Do you want to pass this test?"
"think."
Yunlou raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery flashed in his narrow eyes: "Then why do you want to break the established rules?"
Jiang Mu took a half step forward: "Captain, the situation was critical at that time-"
"I'm asking him." Yunlou's gaze never left Li Xiaogou from beginning to end.
"Yes, I broke the rules."
"I used my supernatural powers on my agent, and even though I promised you not to act in advance, I still acted on my own."
"Why do you do that?"
Li Xiaogou clenched his fists. "Because this is the best solution. The crew is clearly divided into different levels. It would be difficult for me to find out anything without using my superpowers. Besides, my superpowers won't harm ordinary people."
"The reason we took action early was because Jiang Mu saw the kidnapper's face. Unlike Lu Chenzhou, he was of no value to the kidnappers. If I hadn't taken action at that time, the kidnappers would have attacked him."
"You can attack ordinary people without hesitation, and you are willing to break the rules to save Jiang Mu, who has no relationship with you." Yun Lou chuckled, "Li Xiaogou, are you affectionate or heartless?"
This was not a question, and Yunlou did not need Li Xiaogou's answer.
After laying everything out, the moment of judgment finally arrived.
The purpose of joining the Special Investigation Bureau is to find the Destroyer, but not being able to join is not the end of the world. At most, it will just take more effort.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaogou was no longer so nervous.
"Since you have chosen to take responsibility for your own choices, Li Xiaogou, on behalf of the Special Investigation Bureau's First Team, I want to inform you that the results of your mission assessment this time are—"
“Ding-ling-ling——”
The factory ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Yunlou's next words. Yunlou picked up the phone and his brows furrowed more and more as he listened.
After hanging up the phone, his expression grew even more bizarre. "We'll talk about joining the Special Investigation Bureau later. The Yunqing District Police Chief specifically requested your assistance in the investigation."
"I've even applied for a bravery award for you." He curled his lips, "and an 80,000 yuan bonus."
