Lu Weiquan waved to them: "Go ahead, and if you find anything unusual, be sure to come and report it immediately."
Military factories are different from other units; a lot of the information here involves classified information.
Countless people have gone to great lengths to plant ears and eyes inside, but since he's receiving this salary, he has to ensure the safety of everyone here.
Li Kai and Wang Shengping walked away one after the other, and Lu Weiquan yawned: "What's going on today? It's really weird."
Wang Shengping rubbed his eyes with one hand and wiped away the tears that were flowing out: "Are you sleepy? I'm usually still on duty at this time, but today I just can't keep my eyelids open. You really let me down at a critical moment."
Li Kai held a flashlight and shone it on a building not far away. When there was no movement around, he put the flashlight away.
"I'm really tired too. I guess I didn't get enough rest during the day. Let's hang in there a little longer. After we finish our patrol, you can go back and take a nap. We can take turns, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Wang Shengping nodded, then seemed to smell something unusual: "Don't you feel like something's off today? There's a faint smell, not too pungent, but it makes me feel a bit dizzy and lightheaded."
Li Kai looked around and took two deep breaths: "I don't feel anything. If it were gasoline, the smell would have spread by now. Are you too stressed? I think you need to rest even more than I do."
Wang Shengping shook his head, his expression also somewhat serious: "It's not the smell of gasoline, it's very faint. I'm worried that someone might be taking action. Our work is of utmost importance, and we absolutely cannot neglect our duties at this time."
They are all veterans who patrol the military factory, and the security department's positions are so specific that each person has a designated spot, so they must always keep in mind the importance of their work.
Li Kai twitched his nose, took a couple of deep sniffs, and instantly tensed up.
"Something's not right. There's a very subtle smell, kind of like a fragrance. We should—"
Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground!
Wang Shengping's face tightened, and he hurriedly tried to help him up, but his own legs went weak, and he rolled his eyes and lost consciousness.
From a building not far away, a figure hiding in the shadows immediately emerged.
The black shadow walked straight to the corner of the wall, put away the incense that had burned down to almost nothing, and then went in the opposite direction from Lu Weiquan, directly pushing open the door inside the building.
The crime scene was still dark, but the technician Chen Guilin, whom he had killed ten minutes earlier, was indeed holding something in his hand.
The man took a deep breath and kicked the person hard in a fit of anger.
"You reckless idiot!"
Worried that he hadn't stolen all the complete information, he immediately squatted down and tried to pry Chen Guilin's hands open.
However, he held the document bag tightly, and there was no possibility of letting go, especially after a person dies, it is even more impossible to take things from a corpse.
Lu Weiquan walked halfway, but something still felt off, so he simply turned back.
Before they had gone very far, they found Li Kai and Wang Shengping lying on the ground.
"Li Kai, Wang Shengping?"
He shook the two people violently with one hand, but they were completely unresponsive.
Lu Weiquan glanced ahead but didn't notice anything either. He could only take the flashlight in his hand, immediately turn on the workshop lights, and sound the security alarm.
Hearing the commotion, the rest of the security personnel rushed over.
"Section Chief, what happened?"
The sound attracted not only the attention of the security department, but also the men's alertness.
Knowing he had been exposed, the man used all his strength but still couldn't snatch the item back from the corpse. He pulled out a dagger from his lower back and stabbed Chen Guilin's hand repeatedly, but even that was to no avail.
He sheathed his dagger and cursed, "Damn it, I should have chopped you into eight pieces!"
It's too easy for him to die so quickly.
No wonder people say these people are tough as nails; even at the cost of their lives, they still cling to these cold, hard numbers. They deserve to die.
Such foolish people should not exist.
Seeing that the search party had arrived, the man looked up at the high wall. Fortunately, there was a pile of miscellaneous items next to it.
He timed it perfectly, leaped up, grabbed the other side of the wall with one hand, and tilted his body to the side.
Lu Weiquan spotted him first, shining his flashlight on him before the man could climb over the wall: "There he is, don't let him get away!"
He looked down and saw Chen Guilin, who was already lifeless. His hands were covered in stab wounds, and he couldn't tell how many times they had been stabbed.
Lu Weiquan felt a sharp pain in his heart and gritted his teeth, ready to climb over the wall to catch up. But he saw Wu Zhengyi, who was even more agile than him, climbing over the wall to follow.
Lu Weiquan paused for only a few seconds before making an immediate adjustment: "Three teams go outside, and the remaining team stays here to guard the area. We must surround and capture him!"
They have already lost a comrade, and they cannot let that person get away with it under any circumstances.
In the dark night, a group of people were full of fighting spirit, and even those who were originally tired perked up.
It was already late at night, and everyone was still asleep, but the alarm from the military factory had woken up everyone in the workers' dormitories and family compound.
Technicians, engineers, and workshop directors simply put on their coats and came to the square. The streetlights in the residential compound were on, and some children were awakened by the alarm and cried incessantly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mom's here. Go to sleep."
The woman held the child and gently comforted him; no one knew what had happened.
But seeing the security personnel running out one by one, I began to understand what was going on.
Someone came over, rubbing their sleepy eyes, and craned their neck to inquire about the situation.
"Has someone broken in? Why did the alarm suddenly go off at night? It sounds like it's coming from the military factory. What's the situation? Do you need any help?"
A few people gathered together, and the originally dim square instantly brightened up. Before anyone could hear anything, people were already making guesses.
"Let's observe a bit more. If needed, someone will notify us. If we rush over without knowing the situation, we might just cause trouble for the security personnel."
