Mou Xuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, tapping the glass with his fingertips, making a rhythmic "tapping" sound, like a tense march.
Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a bloody hue on the city, just like his mood at the moment - full of dangers.
Those sneaky figures, like maggots attached to his bones, lingered in his mind.
who are they?
What is the purpose?
Is it related to the man in black in the underground passage before?
All kinds of questions were like a tangled mess, entangled in his thoughts.
He took a deep breath, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative!
He must root out the poisonous snakes hiding in the dark and nip the danger in the bud.
His intuition told him that there was a traitor in the safe house, and this person was most likely his most trusted partner, Partner Chen.
"Partner Chen's recent performance is indeed a bit too 'perfect'..." Mou Xuan murmured to himself, recalling some recent events, some subtle anomalies, details that he had subconsciously ignored before, but now they were as clearly visible as ants under a magnifying glass.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number: "Detective Lu, I need you to help me investigate someone."
An hour later, Detective Lu arrived at the safe house.
He was thin and wore a pair of black-framed glasses, looking like a frightened rabbit.
When he heard that the person being investigated by Mou Xuan was Chen, he adjusted his glasses, and a glimmer of light flashed through the lenses: "Mr. Mou, are you sure? Chen has always had a good reputation. Everyone says that he is warm-hearted and helpful..."
"My intuition tells me that things are not that simple." Mou Xuan said in a cold tone with unquestionable majesty, "I need you to investigate secretly and don't alert the enemy."
Detective Lu looked embarrassed, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead: "But... this is very difficult. Partner Chen is a cautious person and has left almost no evidence..."
"If you don't have any evidence, go find it!" Mou Xuan slammed the table and said in a suddenly tough tone, "I'll give you three days. I want to see the result."
Detective Lu was intimidated by his powerful aura. He subconsciously shrank his neck and replied weakly: "I... I will try my best..."
"It's not about trying your best, it's about making sure!" Mou Xuan said in a cold tone, his eyes as sharp as a knife. "Remember, this matter concerns the safety of everyone, and there is no room for error!"
Detective Lu took the information handed over by Mou Xuan with trepidation, feeling as if he was holding a red-hot iron in his hand.
He took a deep breath, turned around and prepared to leave, but when he reached the door, Mou Xuan called him again.
"Wait," Mou Xuan paused.
Detective Lu nodded, quickly left the safe house, and disappeared into the night.
Mou Xuan stood in front of the window, looking in the direction he left, his eyes deep and dark.
He slowly clenched his fists, and his knuckles made a crackling sound.
"Mate Chen, I hope my intuition is wrong..."
Detective Lu was like a headless fly, running around the streets and alleys of the city.
Partner Chen was like a loach, slippery and slippery, leaving almost no trace.
Three days passed in a flash, and Detective Lu found nothing. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He felt like an ant on a hot pan and was about to explode on the spot.
Just when he was about to give up, an idea suddenly struck him and he remembered a place he had overlooked - the bar!
Although Partner Chen is a cautious person, he occasionally goes to the bar to relax.
Detective Lu immediately drove to the bar, retrieved the surveillance video, and finally found some clues.
In the video, Chen's partner met several suspicious people. They hid in the corner and whispered furtively, looking around from time to time for fear of being discovered.
Although I couldn't hear what they were saying, their expressions and body language were enough to show that there was definitely something going on between them.
Detective Lu was so excited that he almost jumped up, and quickly told Mou Xuan the news.
When Mou Xuan heard the news, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes. He knew that his intuition was correct!
"There really is something fishy going on!" He clenched his fists and thought to himself, "Partner Chen, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"
However, when Mou Xuan told others about his suspicions, he was met with unanimous opposition from everyone.
"How could partner Chen betray us? He has always been very nice to us!" "Are you too suspicious?" "This is too outrageous!"...
The doubts from all around surged in like a tide, making it hard for Mou Xuan to breathe.
Chen Yao also advised him: "Brother Xuan, I think you may be thinking too much, partner Chen..."
Mou Xuan looked at the familiar faces and listened to their trust and protection for Chen's partner, feeling mixed emotions.
He felt extremely lonely and helpless, as if he was in the vast ocean, unable to find direction or support.
The pressure was like a mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.
He took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
"I know you all don't believe it." His tone was firm and cold, with a hint of unquestionable majesty, "I will prove to you that I am right!"
He turned and walked towards the monitoring room, leaving everyone looking at each other in confusion.
In the monitoring room, the flickering screen reflected his determined face. His eyes were deep and dark, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
He stared at the image on the screen and muttered to himself, "Partner Chen, what are you hiding?"
Suddenly, he noticed a detail - when Partner Chen left the bar, he was holding a black USB flash drive...
