“If I don’t show them something this time, they’ll think I’m a vegetarian.”
We had already prepared a laptop for Xia Gehuai, whose laptop had been stolen a long time ago.
“Will they find a way to delete the videos you’ve stored in the cloud?” Liu Hao asked a little nervously.
Xia Gehuai sneered, “We are dealing with criminals now, not James Bond, if he can hack into the cloud and delete it, then I won’t be a police officer anymore, I’ll call these guys my father when I see them in the future. If they were really capable of doing that, would they be doing all that stealing? They would have been making a lot of money by now.”
Zhao Zichen pulled out his ears in embarrassment and said, “I can testify to that. If I could run a company, I wouldn’t be running the Red Light Society. Nobody wants to make black money, they all want to make white money, unless they can’t, haha.”
After saying that, Zhao Zichen looked at me again, “Man, I haven’t reminded you for a long time, don’t forget that thing.”
I laughed, “I know, I couldn’t possibly treat you badly, don’t worry about my character.”
The problem was that if Han Kun was the descendant of the Yin family, then I was afraid that the Yin family’s wealth would have already been taken away by him.
It was no wonder that Liu Rong couldn’t fight Han Kun; on the surface, it seemed that Han Kun had no shares in Junran and earned a dead salary, but in fact, Han Kun had the entire Yin family’s fortune, and Liu Rong hadn’t expected it and was caught off guard.
This is a real headache, what will I give to Zhao Zichen when the time comes?
I’m not talking about fooling Zhao Zichen, I’ve been a brother for so long, and the Red Lantern Society has helped me a lot, so I should think of something for him for good reason. When I’m done with Ningcheng, I’ll think about how to relocate the Red Lantern Society.
Xia Gehuai tapped on the keyboard, and after a short while, he hit the space with force.
“Alright, the video has been directed.”
He played it to me to show me the video.
“Here’s the full video, there’s a long section before it that doesn’t show anyone, the focus starts at this point.”
He adjusted the video to 23 minutes, and from the footage inside, the door was opened, and because this footage was on the TV cabinet, right up against the door, the person who came in was clearly visible, and the person was Baldy.
The bald man is wearing a hat and then, suddenly, he faints on the floor and after five minutes, someone is dragging his feet out of frame, the angle makes it just about impossible to see, but one of the men accidentally has half his face in the frame, wearing a white mask with a creepy smile on his face.
“That’s all there is to the effective picture.” Shaggy White pressed the pause button.
I stared at the picture, my eyes not blinking, really wondering what was so wrong with the video.
We re-watched it again and still didn’t see anything wrong with it.
“What’s wrong with this video of yours, with no human faces in it?” I asked.
“I don’t know, they’ve been chasing me, they just want this video.”
Something didn’t feel right to me, this video wasn’t that amazing.
Liu Hao said, “Could it be that, they want to harm Xu Changsheng, so they want to destroy all the evidence. That’s what happened to the dossier at Bureau Zhou’s place as well ……”
“How big is the feud with Baldy, if it was Xia Gehuai who wanted to harm him in the first place, then there’s no need to get Xu Changsheng to death now.” I said.
We discussed for half a day, but still no result, at this time, I heard Zhao Zichen said, “Old Xia, you replay it again for me.”
“Where?”
“It’s where the bald man fell to the ground.”
Xia Gehuai moved the video forward a little, the bald man fell to the ground violently, Zhao Zichen himself put his hand on the screen and pressed pause, the screen paused at the exact moment the bald man fell to the ground, the screen was aimed at the bald man’s head.
Zhao Zichen sucked in a breath of cold air, and his expression was not quite right.
I asked, “What’s wrong? Did you see anything?”
He didn’t answer me and continued, “You step back further, to the front.”
“What’s wrong with falling to the ground, God forbid?”
Xia Gehuai muttered on his lips, but his hands were honest, and he jumped the picture to the very front as Zhao Zichen had requested.
By the moment Baldy entered the room, Zhao Zichen pointed at the screen and said, “Look, Old Zhang, this spray, it’s coming down from the top of the head.”
I furrowed my brow, understanding what Zhao Zichen meant.
But Liu Hao still didn’t understand, “Maybe someone held it up and sprayed it on Xu Changsheng, who isn’t really tall, maybe the other person is taller than Xu Changsheng.”
Xia Gehuai also said, “Yeah, it’s a possibility.”
I shook my head, “No, Old Liu you don’t understand, if the opposite side was a person holding a spray bottle against Xu Changsheng, there is no way it could have sprayed him.”
Liu Hao didn’t know how fast Baldy was, but a few of us did.
Xia Gehuai also reacted, his head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said to Liu Hao, “That’s right, Baldy’s combat power is straight up to Saiyan, you’ll be dead before you can see his movements.”
Baldy didn’t fight back, which was strange.
Liu Hao didn’t quite believe our words and scratched his head, “Zhang Chao, I find that you guys are quite fanciful sometimes, but this is the real world, it’s not that mysterious, and even the most powerful people have times when they wander off. Maybe Xu Changsheng was caught off guard and let someone get away with it, that’s possible too.”
To people who haven’t seen it with their own eyes, I can’t explain the skills of a jianghu master, to them it sounds like a boast or a magic trick.
It’s like many people are convinced that the kung fu of the Thousand Doors is a lie and that Moon Man Bow is a journeyman liar, preferring to believe that a foreign monk can recite scripture rather than think about seeing Moon Man Bow’s extraordinary skill.
I bypassed the topic and asked Zhao Zichen directly, “What else did you think was wrong just now?”
Zhao Zichen was staring at the picture and was lost in thought, so I shouted at him twice before he responded.
“Ah, what did you say? Something’s not right, that’s all. I’m going to meet Baldy.”
When Zhao Zichen said this, his eyes avoided me and looked at Liu Hao, clearly not telling the truth and trying to avoid my question.
I always felt that he was hiding something from me, that he must have seen something in the video just now, and it was never as simple as the anesthetic, he saw something the moment Baldy fell to the ground.
But why didn’t Zhao Zichen want to tell us? Did he not trust us, or was there another reason?
I didn’t poke Zhao Zichen on the spot. He always has his reasons for doing so, and what those reasons are, it might not be convenient to tell us now in front of everyone.
“Xu Changsheng, can’t see, not to mention you, I can’t even see.” Liu Hao said.
“Aren’t you the case officer?” I was surprised.
Liu Hao sighed, “Don’t f*cking mention it, it makes me angry to mention it. We were supposed to handle this case, and we were supposed to handle it, but halfway through, Old Yang wanted to take it away and let the felony team he had just formed under him handle it.”
Xia Gehuai, who was more familiar with the system, said, “There’s something wrong, isn’t there? You’re a city bureau, and even though you’re the provincial capital, you’re still at the municipal level, and you’re still running a major case unit?”
“The two of them don’t like each other, and there’s a vacancy in the provincial department soon, both of them are hot candidates, and they’re fighting. This Serious Crimes Unit is actually a way for Lao Yang to help his own people. I am one of Lao Zhou’s people, these years we have a high rate of crime solving, Lao Zhou also look good, Lao Wu is under the hand of Lao Yang, Lao Wu this person is stable, but the speed of solving cases is not as fast as us. Old Yang has created such a serious crime unit, just to steal some credit for himself.”
Xia Gehuai also had a deep understanding of this kind of thing, and sighed and shook his head, smiling bitterly and patting Liu Hao’s shoulder: “Brother, I understand you. But the case is in your jurisdiction, so you shouldn’t give it away.”
