Xie Yingying received a call from Xing Baohua and hurriedly left her second uncle's house.
Yes, Xing Baohua also received a phone call, which ended his passionate relationship.
Xing Baohua and Xie Yingying arranged to meet at the entrance of the base.
Captain Han had an urgent matter to discuss with Xing Baohua. Plans often change, so many things were disrupted.
After meeting Xie Yingying, they went underground and met Captain Han. There wasn't much polite conversation, since they were all familiar with each other.
Xing Baohua sat down and said, "You came looking for me as soon as I arrived. You guys knew my whereabouts so well."
“That’s pointless. Didn’t I call you to ask where you were? You said you were in the capital, so I asked you to come over,” Captain Han explained.
Xing Baohua shook his head helplessly, not wanting to argue with the other party, and said, "Let's talk about your matter first, so as not to delay my important event the day after tomorrow."
"There are two things that you would have known anyway, whether I told you or not, so I'm telling you now that you're in Shou D," Captain Han said.
"Tell me about it!" After Xing Baohua finished speaking, Captain Han turned to look at Xie Yingying.
Xing Baohua understood and said, "She doesn't need to avoid me. I have many things that I need her to handle. If you're worried, you can check her background."
Captain Han glanced helplessly at Xing Baohua and shook his head slightly, implying that there was no need to investigate further, as he had probably already done everything that needed to be investigated.
Team Leader Han sat down as well, tossed Xing Baohua a cigarette, and continued, "Did you have someone continue investigating Hou Qian's matter in Da Mei?"
Xing Baohua nodded and said, "Yes! We've got the basics figured out, but some of her life details don't quite match the basic situation, especially her marital history. So we'll try to find out more from her ex-husband or former neighbors. What's wrong?"
After Xing Baohua finished speaking, Captain Han took out a large brown paper bag from the side, placed it on the small table, and slowly opened it.
He pulled out many photos, one by one, and found four or five, which he then showed to Xing Baohua.
"Han Levich. Hou Qian's ex-husband. He worked as a financial broker before marriage and as an office worker after marriage. He lost his job due to the company's bankruptcy. After the divorce, he is currently working as a repairman in a machinery factory. The two have a son who is currently living with his father."
As Captain Han explained, Xing Baohua flipped through the photos, then stopped at one of them.
The person in the photo is lying on the ground, with a lot of red liquid seeping through their body, and the vest on their chest is also covered with irregular red patterns.
Xing Baohua sighed, put down the photo in her hand, and asked, "When did this happen?"
“It’s been a week,” Captain Han replied.
"Do you suspect that I hired this person?" Xing Baohua asked.
Captain Han shook his head and said, "We're investigating too. The situation is a bit complicated, so we can't tell you right now. We just discovered that someone else was also investigating. But not long after, Hou Qian's ex-husband and his child, um? the one you just saw."
"Then what?"
"According to the local police investigation, it was a home invasion robbery, and the victim was attacked by the assailants while resisting. We need to find a reason to quell the local panic first." As soon as Captain Han finished speaking, Xing Baohua smiled.
"Is this reason meant to quell the unrest or to further incite panic? This is burglary! This is hardly quelling the unrest!"
"Didn't they emphasize that we should keep the doors and windows closed and try not to go out? Our people discovered that there were people from the Investigation Bureau among them, and it seems like they've taken over the case."
Xing Baohua asked in surprise, "Upgraded?"
"I don't know, there's no new information coming in yet."
"So you brought me here only to tell me this? One of my employees or my future relative, her ex-husband and child died in Da Mei. Are you telling me this so I can go back and comfort them, or what are you trying to say?"
"Don't rush. There's a reason I called you here. Once we've figured out this matter, let's put it aside for now and talk about something else."
Xing Baohua: "..."
Speechless, Xing Baohua watched as Captain Han pulled out a dozen more photos from the leather bag and pushed them in front of him. The photos showed a dozen or so foreigners, most of whom were dressed poorly; some looked haggard, while others looked like they'd been homeless for years.
Looking at Captain Han with confusion, what was going on this time?
Seeing Xing Baohua's puzzled expression, Captain Han, who was originally asking a very serious question, said with a smile, "This is a mercenary group that has come to assassinate you."
“This joke isn’t funny at all. How stupid would someone have to be to dress like this?” Xing Baohua said, showing Xie Yingying the group’s outfits as well.
“They’ve all been interrogated individually. They are indeed a mercenary team that regularly takes on jobs outside the continent. The employer is a hawkish man named Derasto. He’s offering two million hawk pounds!”
"So little?" Xing Baohua asked in surprise.
"That's quite a lot. If you convert it to national currency, I'd even want to take the job," Captain Han joked.
"Just say so when you hit me, and I'll give you three million."
"Don't take it seriously, I was just saying it to lighten the mood."
"I feel like complaining about this atmosphere."
"I apologize," Captain Han said with a slight smile to Xing Baohua.
"Go on," Xing Baohua said, gesturing for him to continue.
"This group of hired workers, who were not from mainland China, contacted a smuggling team to enter the country by water. They swam into the Rushan-Wendeng area."
Unfortunately, much of their equipment was lost at sea. After coming ashore, they hid among the hills and reeds in the Rushan and Wendeng areas. Coincidentally, there was a shrimp and pig farm in Wendeng.
