After jumping out of the car, the criminal police officers from the Criminal Investigation Brigade hid in different places. Of course, some of them, who were agile and quick-witted, had already disguised themselves and sneaked into the mourning hall.
The Xiao family is involved in many industries. For example, this luxury hotel, which is temporarily set up as Mr. Xiao's memorial service, is one of the many high-end hotels owned by the Xiao family.
The area was cleared out ten days ago, and no matter how much money you have or how high your position is, you will not be able to stay at this hotel for the next ten days.
This wasn't Sun Xingchao's first year as the captain of the criminal investigation team. Before being transferred to B City, he had always worked in the capital. It was precisely because of his strong abilities that he was transferred to B City as the captain of the criminal investigation team half a year ago.
For the past six months, the criminal investigation team in City B seemed to be no different from before. Apart from occasionally receiving a report and helping an old lady rescue a cat from a tree, there hadn't been any major cases.
Even in the last six months, they haven't received a single robbery case, yet a group of ambitious and dedicated criminal police officers are no longer as passive as before.
Colleagues in other departments of the police station thought Sun Xingchao had given his subordinates some kind of magic potion to make them so passionate, but Xu Moran, who had officially joined the criminal investigation team, knew that Sun Xingchao had begun to make plans without their knowledge.
As a newcomer, she obviously couldn't know what the captain's plan was, so she took it upon herself to obey and execute it.
Right now, Xu Moran is sitting in a car that has been modified from an Audi, with a bug in his ear.
The sounds from inside the mourning hall kept pouring into Xu Moran's ears. They were nothing more than low sobs, polite words of comfort, and the whispers of mourners. These sounds mixed together and were transmitted to his ears through the listening device. After listening for a long time, he felt a bit of tinnitus.
Xu Moran raised her wrist to check her watch. She had been eavesdropping in the car for almost half an hour without finding anything of interest. Suddenly, Sun Xingchao's voice came from the eavesdropping device, "Xiao Xu!"
Xu Moran perked up and replied, "Captain Sun, I'm here."
"Drive away right now!" Sun Xingchao spoke rapidly and sternly.
Xu Moran wondered if his brain was a little sluggish from wearing a bug in his ear for too long, and asked in return, "Captain Sun, why are you leaving?"
Sun Xingchao was only about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. Ever since Xu Moran was transferred to the criminal investigation team, he had never spoken in such a hurried, even panicked, tone.
"Obey orders!" Sun Xingchao shouted these four words, and then there was no more sound from the bugging device.
From the first day Xu Moran entered the police academy, he knew that although police officers and soldiers are not the same profession, they have one thing in common: when carrying out a mission, they must obey the orders of their superiors 100%.
Without further hesitation, Xu Moran removed the bugging device, started the engine, and the car, modified from a high-performance Audi, sped forward like an arrow.
Even though Xu Moran had only been in the criminal investigation team for half a year, he knew that he couldn't rashly call Sun Xingchao without knowing what had happened to him.
After driving on the main city road for a while, Xu Moran followed a stream of traffic onto the inner ring elevated highway. She decided to go home first, as the inner ring elevated highway was the shortest route.
City B is an international metropolis that is in line with international standards. People have a rich nightlife. If it weren't for the fact that the sky was already as dark as spilled ink, one could easily mistake the hustle and bustle, with neon lights that almost illuminated the sky, for daytime.
Xu Moran lives in a rather remote area, on the outskirts of the city. Why does she live so far away? Because the rent there is cheaper.
Leaving aside the skyrocketing housing prices in City B over the past two years, even without those increases, considering Xu Moran's savings from three years of work, in the short term...
