Chief Yan was shocked and confused for a moment.
He looked at Luo Chu and then at Master Liu.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like there is a problem on both sides.
"Luo Teng, you are from our Action Bureau, and you know the disciplines. Our Action Bureau will never do anything that wrongfully accuses good people, and we will never let any bad person go."
Chief Yan spoke in Mandarin, which made him appear to be very well-versed.
It's a pity that what Luo Teng heard was unspeakably disgusting. Knowing the truth, Luo Teng lost the last trace of respect between superiors and subordinates for Commander Yan.
"Sir Yan, who do you think is more suspicious than me, an outsider, or me?" In front of so many people, Luo Teng threw the hot potato to Chief Yan.
Don't you want to speak in an official tone?
I won't accept this from you.
Master Liu was not an energy-efficient person, so he hurriedly said: "Sir Yan, you don't know how outrageous these people are. They actually pretended to be you and entered the mall!"
Impersonate me?
Chief Yan didn't quite understand what it meant for a while.
But thinking of the replicator, Commander Yan's expression suddenly changed.
Is there such a thing?
Seeing that he was doubtful, Master Liu hurriedly said: "I have evidence!"
As he spoke, he waved to the female assistant, who walked forward and took out a mobile phone. There were several photos on it from hidden angles.
Surprisingly, it was Master Liu, Director Gao and Chief Yan who were having a secret conversation in the coffee shop.
Chief Yan's color changed in shock, his face uncertain.
Staring at Luo Teng with cold eyes: "What else do you have to say?"
Luo Teng was speechless and said: "Sir Yan, what does this photo mean? There are three people in it, which one is me? Which one is ours?"
"Hmph! Still pretending to be stupid? Master made it very clear that there are replicators among you, pretending to be Commander Yan, and murdering Director Gao and his subordinates." Master Liu was filled with indignation.
"What evidence do you have?" Luo Teng said coldly, "With no evidence, you are just talking nonsense and slandering the staff of the special department. Do you know the nature of this?"
Jiang Yue suddenly said: "Facts speak louder than words. You said Director Gao and the others are dead? If you want to see the people alive, you want to see the corpses if they die. Why don't you first bring out the evidence that they are dead? You haven't even seen the bodies, so you can
Arrogantly identifying the murderer? Who knows if it was controlled by you? Who knows if you didn’t deliberately pretend to be a ghost in order to defraud high appearance fees?"
"We have pictures!"
"Photos? What can photos show? Do you think the Action Bureau relies on photos to handle cases? Seeing is believing, do you understand?" Luo Teng scolded coldly.
Several other directors of the Operations Division also spoke one after another.
"Sir Yan, what Luo Chu and the others said makes sense. You need to see the person alive, and the body needs to be seen after death. We are not in a hurry to identify the murderer now. We should see the body first."
In fact, Commander Yan’s butt has been crooked for a long time.
But in this situation, if he rushes to convict Luo Teng, he will obviously not be able to convince the public.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Director Luo, you are in a sensitive stage now. Please suspend your work first. Do you have any objection?"
"The leaders have spoken. If I have any opinions, I can only keep them." This is very clear. I have opinions, but you, the official, have the final say.
"However, as a client who has been framed, I demand on-site witnessing. Isn't this too much to ask? I don't want to be killed by someone who is deliberately trying to trick me."
Luo Chu is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Chief Yan actually wanted to exclude Luo Teng, but he couldn't stand it. This request was reasonable.
The intentions of the other directors were also very clear. Between Luo Chu and Master Liu, they obviously supported their own people more.
If Luo Teng was detained at this time and not allowed to appear at the scene, his attitude would be too obvious, and he would probably cause a backlash among his subordinates, or even expose his own tail.
"Lao Zhan, you guys can take over this department for the time being. Go and have a look first."
Martial law remains.
The team that entered the mall for the second time was obviously much bigger.
Jiang Yue followed Luo Chu in, and Sangou was arranged by Jiang Yue to stay with Lao Han.
There were several Directors of Operations present, but none of them were left behind.
After entering the mall, Luo Teng suddenly said: "Wait a minute, I remembered. We were checking in the mall before, and the power suddenly went out. I suspect that someone deliberately turned off the mall's power switch. Also, the mall's
The mobile phone signal is blocked, and I suspect it is also man-made. Therefore, I request a technical investigation and identification to restore power and restore communications as soon as possible."
These are all reasonable requests.
Jiang Yue added: "There is another thing to pay attention to. According to our judgment, there may be ghosts entrenched in the mall, most likely manual manipulation. I suggest that the technical team must strengthen security and take various precautions to prevent it.
We were attacked by ghosts and the situation was disrupted."
Jiang Yue is not from the Action Bureau, so he has no right to speak.
But once he made this suggestion, no one could just sit idly by and ignore it.
The presence of ghosts is no small matter.
Luo Teng took the opportunity and said: "Sir Yan, although I am temporarily suspended, I am a member of Operations Branch Three. I, a member of Operations Branch Three, applied to participate in the work of restoring power and restoring communications."
"Luo Teng, your work has been suspended. There are quite a lot of demands." Commander Yan was a little unhappy.
Luo Teng puffed up his chest and said, "Sir, these are all reasonable requests, and they are beneficial and harmless to our operations bureau. Although I have been suspended, my enthusiasm for work has not diminished."
It is only to troubleshoot power failures and communication failures. It is indeed reasonable for Luo Chu to make this request.
"Lao Yu, your two offices will take charge of this matter."
Commander Yan was a little upset, but he had to bite the bullet and arrange the work.
The team soon reached the third floor.
The bodies of Director Gao and Xiao Jiang were in two places respectively.
As for Xiao Lu's body, it is said that he was dragged into the game hall.
Starting from Chief Yan, everyone inspected the body. Especially after seeing Xiao Jiang's body, everyone felt depressed.
Not long after, Xiao Lu's body was also found in the game room.
The state of death was similar to that of Xiao Jiang, except that there were no bullet holes in his body.
Chief Yan's face looked ugly.
I don’t know if it’s because I saw Director Gao’s tragic situation and felt a bit sad.
"Let's put it all away." Chief Yan waved his hand.
Luo Teng said, "Sir, don't worry. The murderer hasn't been found out yet. Didn't Master Liu say that there were replicators pretending to be Chief Yan and attacking Director Gao and the others? I was responsible for the replicator case before.
No matter how I look at it, I don’t think this is the handiwork of a replicator. How replicators kill people and what characteristics they have, I have already informed them, and I believe everyone is familiar with it.”
"The replicators kill people and like to lift their scalps. Director Gao and the others do not have this scar characteristic. Apart from the fact that their physical functions are far superior to ordinary people, the replicators have no other superpowers. From the scene, Xiao Jiang was obviously raped by some monster.
The ones that were dragged from the corridor to the ceiling, the replicators definitely don’t have such ghostly skills. Judging from the wounds on Xiao Jiang and Xiao Lu, it is obvious that monsters with strong bite power can inflict such wounds. As far as I know, the replicators
Teeth and normal human teeth have absolutely no such biting power!"
"The most important thing is, among the four people we come in, which one is the replicator?"
Every detail of what Luo Teng said is justified.
Several other division chiefs nodded.
"As for the information on replicators, we have also seen it, and they do not have these abilities. It does not fit the characteristics of replicators who kill people."
"Sir Yan, I still trust Director Luo more than outsiders."
"There is competition among our operations divisions, but there is also cooperation. To say that Director Luo would kill Director Gao, I think it is ridiculous and unlikely."
It is true that Luo Chu was not very worldly, but he was very public-minded and had almost no selfish motives, and several other division chiefs also noticed this.
Compared with the flattering senior director, Luo Teng's personality charm is obviously more able to conquer these colleagues.
Chief Yan wanted to go astray.
But in this case, all the evidence clearly cannot point to Luo Teng.
If Luo Teng is forcibly convicted, the action directors below will not be able to convince them, and the superiors above will probably not be able to convince either.
In a lawsuit like this, Jiang Yue tried his best to be as transparent as possible.
Although he already knew the truth of the matter.
However, it was obviously not time to lift the lid, and given his position, it was not his turn to lift the lid.
If he forcefully tells the truth, it may have a sensational effect.
But whether we can win everyone's trust and how to extract ourselves is not easy.
After all, it was indeed him who killed Director Gao.
If he were to lift the lid himself, he would be at great risk of being charged with murdering a public servant.
The water in this pond was extremely deep, and Jiang Yue warned himself not to act rashly. In this kind of life-and-death struggle, the most taboo thing was to make a one-shot deal when his brain got hot.
Once you do that, there is no way out. It is equivalent to putting yourself out as a target. At that time, all kinds of overt and covert attacks will be hard to guard against.
If nothing else, he pretended to be Commander Yan, and once the secret of his replicator skills was exposed, it would be enough to land him in jail.
Then, people can easily associate the death of Director Gao with him. And it is impossible to wash away the situation.
Moreover, once the lid is lifted, people in high positions like Chief Yan will definitely fight back with all their might. Jiang Yue is not afraid, but he can't help but his relatives are still in the hands of unknown forces.
You can never do anything that will kill the fish or destroy the net.
The ideal state of lifting the lid is to allow the truth to emerge naturally through guidance.
Although all major division chiefs expressed their support for Luo Teng, Chief Yan remained unmoved.
"Collect the evidence first, and then collect the body. We will slowly investigate other matters later."
Master Liu said: "Sir Yan, Director Gao has been harmed. The appearance fee we agreed on before cannot be voided."
"We'll discuss it later." Chief Yan was upset.
It's been so long and Master Liu is still confused.
Master Liu did not agree and sneered: "Wait a minute, I have to explain something clearly. I have already found out the problem of the disappearance case in Yunshan Times Square, and it has been properly handled. I can't even get a penny of the appearance fee."
few."
"Also, a new ghost has appeared in Yunshan Times Square. Director Gao has promised me a reward of 30 million for killing ghosts. Chief Yan, take a look, will you approve it or not?"
"If you don't want to part with the money, that's okay. Let's deal with each code one by one, and pay me the initial labor fees. You can also handle the hauntings yourself."
Jiang Yue finally understood that Master Liu had only one purpose for doing this over and over again, and that was money.
Although he and Chief Yan are considered accomplices, they obviously have selfish motives.
This selfishness makes the relationship between them not very strong.
Luo Teng on the side couldn't help but said: "How did you find out the disappearance case? This requires labor fees? Where is the missing person? Who can't talk about it?"
"As a suspended person, what qualifications do you have to intervene in the case? Sir Yan, I will form a written report to you. I will only say one thing, the disappearance case is the awakening of the ancient magic circle, forming a dead end! The people of Star City should be happy,
The coverage area of this array is only the Yunshan Times Square. If it covers the entire Star City, the entire city will disappear overnight."
Threats and intimidation are a common tactic used by magicians.
"Ancient magic circle? What is that?" Director Zhan from the Operations Division asked with a confused look on his face.
"This kind of thing is difficult to explain in a few words. But don't worry, I have destroyed the foundation of the magic circle, and the magic circle will never be activated again. This is why I confidently charge labor fees. To be honest, destroying the foundation of the magic circle,
I personally spent a lot of money and lost a lot of spiritual things. This little labor fee may not be able to make up for my losses. Alas, who makes me so kind-hearted that I can't bear the suffering of the common people?"
The directors of several operations departments all looked at each other.
They instinctively didn't believe what Master Liu said.
No matter how incredible what he said was.
But they couldn't find any evidence to refute it.
Ancient magic circle, ten death places...
These all sounded too advanced, and they couldn't understand them at all, so they couldn't refute them.
Therefore, Chief Yan has the final say.
Chief Yan said calmly: "Master Liu, if it is indeed as you said, you deserve your service fee, we will not pay you a penny less. Don't worry."
Master Liu smiled and felt relieved after hearing Commander Yan's promise.
at this time!
A scream came from not far away.
A team member on duty not far from the mall suddenly stood on his feet and was dragged to the ceiling. Just like Xiao Jiang before.
Only the part above the chest is exposed, and it hangs upside down below.
He waved his hands desperately and shouted.
"Help!"
When others quickly stepped forward, the figure of this team member was lifted up and disappeared from the ceiling. Only a big hole was revealed, like a monster devouring everything.
Then……
It's still a familiar picture.
Blood dripped from the ceiling, and there was another pool of tragic bloodstains on the corridor.
There was a burst of gunfire at the scene.
Dozens of bullet holes were punched into the ceiling.
boom!
The body of the team member fell to the ground. There were bullet holes all over his body and a huge wound on his neck. He had been dead for a long time.
"Save some bullets!" Master Liu sighed.
"This is a murderous ghost seeking life. Bullets can't kill you!"
Master Liu looked leisurely at Luo Chu, Jiang Yue and others: "Sir Yan, I still say the same thing. These ghosts must have just appeared today. Yesterday's disappearance case has nothing to do with these ghosts. So, you
There must be something wrong with his subordinates and the few people he brought in. We must investigate. I suspect there is a monster lurking among them!"
This is a rhythm that requires a rake.
If Jiang Yuezao hadn't known about Master Liu's activities, he would never have imagined that Master Liu would so openly cry out to catch the thief!
Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to expose Master Liu's deeds.
This guy is really brave.
At this point, he actually urged the ghost slaves to kill people and create panic. It can be seen that this magician is definitely working hard to get extra rewards.
Of course, Jiang Yue also noticed it.
Although this guy is not Zhao Shouyin, like Zhao Shouyin, he is a crazy person at heart, a madman who has no respect for the world and human life.
By doing this, isn't it because he feels confident that the Star City Supernatural Operations Bureau can't do anything to him and can only be manipulated by him?
What's more, there is also Chief Yan who can respond at any time.
At this moment, the light in the shopping mall suddenly brightened, and all the lights that were originally extinguished came back on.
Soon someone brought news.
The cause of the power outage in the mall was found. There was no technical fault, it was just that the main gate was turned off artificially.
Of course Jiang Yue knew what was going on.
When Director Gao asked his men to turn off the main gate, he originally wanted to plot against Jiang Yue and Luo Chu. Who would have thought that in the end he not only lost the lives of his men, but also himself.
The communication failure was quickly discovered and it was indeed the signal in the mall that was blocked.
Commander Yan seemed a little tired at this time.
"The First Division and the Second Division have withdrawn their teams. Yunshan Times Square will still be taken over by the Fifth Division. With Director Gao gone, we can't let the Fifth Division lose its combat effectiveness, right?"
"Reporting to Chief Yan, our 5th Branch will resolutely complete the task." The person who spoke was Director Gao's deputy and the Deputy Director of Action 5. His surname was Guan. He was actually a round older than Director Gao. He was that kind of person.
A person who is not showy and unrevealed, but he definitely has some ability.
The first and second offices were originally here to help temporarily. Seeing that the water was very muddy and deep, they instinctively felt that there were many tricks hidden in it, and they were afraid that they should not get involved too deeply.
If they were asked to close the team, they would naturally not have any objections, and would even be eager to do so.
"Luo Teng, you are in a sensitive stage now and have been suspended pending investigation. It is not appropriate for the three of you to intervene too much. You should also withdraw from the team."
All three operations offices have been withdrawn.
As for Action Four, they are not in Star City at all at the moment.
Therefore, the job of Yunshan Times Square fell to Operation Five again.
"Old manager, since Director Gao is not here, you will be the one to take charge of the Fifth Bureau first. Handle this case well and I will give you Director Gao and clear your name for the Fifth Bureau."
"Yes!" The old manager puffed up his chest and gave a standard salute.
Luo Chu is a smart man. Seeing such an arrangement, how could he still not know what Chief Yan was thinking?
This is obviously to cover the lid and prevent the incident at Yunshan Times Square from being revealed.
"Sir Yan, I don't accept it."
Star City Supernatural Operations Bureau has five operations divisions, and among the five division chiefs, Luo Teng is known to be a thorn in his side.
If it were any other director, he would accept the investigation and just admit it by pinching his nose.
