Sometimes I really think that Taoist Lin is an unfathomable master, and sometimes I think he is so naive. I thought he wanted to say something to me, but who knew he would even bring up his inner demons. I am not the protagonist of a fantasy novel, so where did my inner demons come from
Although I thought so in my heart, I still asked, "Inner demon? What does that mean?"
Taoist Lin stared at my eyes closely, as if he could see through my soul, and said slowly: "Many people tend to think of the inner demon as a fantasy, but in fact, the inner demon is just a very normal term. Everyone has it, and everyone's inner demon may erupt at any time. Once the inner demon erupts, a person's will will be completely lost, and he will become a puppet of the inner demon and do all kinds of shocking things. So this inner demon is still very dangerous. After all, we know each other, so I think it's better to remind you."
Before I could voice my doubts, Taoist Lin continued, "Although I haven't been with you for a long time, I can sense that your inner demon, or your obsession, is on someone else. As for who exactly it is, I don't know, because no matter what you do, it seems that you think more about others and less about yourself. As the saying goes, everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme, and good times will come after bad times. Although this kind of thinking of yours is worth promoting, it may eventually lead to your downfall."
Hearing what Taoist Lin said, I couldn't help but recall my experiences during this period of time. It seemed that what he said was right. I did care about others most of the time, their opinions, and their feelings, but I didn't care so much about myself. From the beginning, I chose to help Bai Qi, one because there was a generous bonus to be won, and secondly, whether it was the courier shop owner Zhang Peng or the Heishan Village villager Zhao Tiezhu, although the victims in these cases were not very important to me, I wanted to help them from the bottom of my heart, and ignored the fact that I would put myself in danger.
Later, I originally planned to find a place with Zhang Qishan to do some small business to make a living and not join the special case team. However, because of Zhang Qishan, I once again went against my own heart and chose to join the special case team. Even now, I have such a headache because I want to help Bai Qi get rid of the God Organization and help my father get rid of the burden on his shoulders. The more I think about it, the more I feel that Taoist Lin is right.
I couldn't help but look at Taoist Lin in front of me in confusion. He had only known me for a few days, but how come he seemed to know me better than I did? Could it be that the Taoist art of face reading was really so magical
Taoist Lin looked at my suspicious eyes and smiled nonchalantly, "I'm just talking. After all, face reading is just a saying. If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't. It's always a good thing to remind you. If you don't want to be controlled by your inner demons, that is, your obsessions, I advise you not to do this job and do something else. Your personality is really not suitable for being a policeman."
Lin Yingxue was a little unhappy after hearing this, but I raised my hand to signal her not to speak, and then smiled and said, "I will remember your words. If one day I also discover the existence of the inner demon, I will resign and leave."
Taoist Lin smiled and nodded, then turned and walked towards the end of the road, saying as he walked: "Okay, I won't bother you anymore. If we are destined to meet again in the future, I think we can still meet again."
Seeing Taoist Lin leaving, I suddenly asked, "We've known each other for so long, but I still don't know your real name?"
Taoist Lin walked forward without looking back and said, "My name is Lin Yi." After that, Taoist Lin walked to a corner and then disappeared from our sight.
"Lin Yi? This name sounds familiar."
After the online taxi arrived, we took it back home, took away our luggage again, locked the door and headed straight to the airport. When I came back, I had already told Bai Qi that things here had been completely dealt with, and we would go to Dengfeng City now.
With Bai Qi's means, he quickly booked tickets for us back to the imperial capital. Since there was no direct flight from Zhongwei City to Henan Province, we had to go to the imperial capital first and then transfer to Henan Province. There was no conversation along the way. In short, when we arrived in Dengfeng City, it was completely dark.
After we arrived in Dengfeng City, Bai Longfei, who had been waiting for us, drove over to pick us up. When I saw Bai Longfei coming, I immediately asked him why he came even though his injury had not yet healed.
Bai Longfei said that this matter was indeed urgent and he had already ignored the injuries on his body. Besides, his arm had fully recovered and it was just a little painful. As for the wound on his head, it was not a problem at all and he had to get involved in the affairs here.
Ever since we arrived in Dengfeng City, I have been in a very heavy mood, and the atmosphere in the car was also very heavy. I believe that anyone would feel heartbroken by Tang Qingfeng's death.
Bai Longfei drove us to the Dengfeng City Police Station, and we immediately came to Bai Qi's office. As soon as I entered, I saw that the huge office was already full of people, including Pan An and Lu Feng who had come a long time ago, and Ding Yang was also there. Bai Qi was sitting at his desk at this time, and seemed to be in a meeting.
The whole office was filled with smoke, and I didn't recognize any of the remaining people. When Bai Qi saw us come in, he just nodded slightly to me and continued talking to those people. I saw that he was very busy, so I didn't disturb him. I went with Lin Yingxue and Bai Longfei to find Ding Yang and sit with them to ask them what was going on.
I haven't seen Pan An for a long time. He was very excited to see us coming, but his behavior was much more restrained than his usual funny personality. It seemed that the things before us had indeed reached a critical point.
"Now you can tell me exactly what happened."
Pan An sighed, and Bai Longfei passed cigarettes around to us. Pan An then told me what had happened to Tang Qingfeng.
Most people nowadays rely on news on the Internet and think that the news on the Internet is the most authentic and reliable news. In fact, this is not the case. Many things that are of great significance or top secret will not appear on the Internet, such as military secrets.
A lot of superficial military information cannot represent the true level of a country. This is the case with our country. Although our country adheres to the values of peaceful development, our peace does not mean that others want us to be peaceful. In order to prevent obstruction and provocation from foreign forces, our country has been researching new weapons to defend territorial security. However, this incident is related to this new weapon.
I used to often read the news online. The news said that our country's laser weapons are leading the world. This news was completely unfounded and seemed to be groundless. Who would have thought that this thing was actually true.
Just over a month ago, a secret research institute in Dengfeng City, Henan Province finally developed a complete laser weapon. Its performance and power had reached perfect levels and fully met the standards for service. But at this moment, something unimaginable happened.
That night, a group of unknown gangsters secretly broke into the home of the old professor who possessed the laser weapon technology and blueprints, pried open the safe containing the weapon blueprints and manufacturing technology, secretly took away the contents, and brutally killed the patrolling armed police and the old professor. After killing and stealing the goods, they disappeared without a trace, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.
Within ten minutes after the incident, Tang Qingfeng arrived with his men. After learning the seriousness of the matter, Tang Qingfeng immediately ordered the blockade of all exits of Dengfeng City. Even a small road was guarded by a large number of police officers. All vehicles and personnel leaving Dengfeng City had to undergo strict inspection. All their efforts were made to prevent the secret from being leaked.
In addition, Tang Qingfeng also urgently summoned all the people involved in this matter, including the armed police detachment, to discuss how to deal with this matter. On the one hand, the news must not be leaked, and on the other hand, we must work hard to find out the criminals who killed the professor and stole the drawings. It is because of this that I only know what happened now.
Tang Qingfeng not only blocked all exits of Dengfeng City, but also asked the telecommunications department to monitor the communication records of the entire Dengfeng City. A large number of relevant personnel worked day and night for this matter, but nearly a month has passed, and this group of criminals seems to have evaporated from the face of the earth and has never appeared again, and no relevant clues can be found from the communication records. Since this incident happened in the city under the jurisdiction of Tang Qingfeng, Tang Qingfeng is naturally worried about this matter and wishes he could stay in the police station 24 hours a day.
A month had passed without finding the criminals. Tang Qingfeng held several meetings to discuss the matter and came to only two conclusions: either the criminals had already fled with the blueprints, or they were still in Dengfeng City, playing psychological tactics with the police, waiting for the police to let down their guard before taking the opportunity to leave.
If it is the first case, then the situation has really reached a point where it is beyond redemption. Although there is more than one copy of the drawings and materials, and the institute still has a lot of them preserved, they are extremely confidential after all. Even if they are destroyed, they cannot fall into the hands of foreign forces.
After listening to Pan An's brief account of the incident, I realized how serious the situation was. I originally thought it was just an ordinary case, but who knew it was such a major matter that required every second counts.
"I heard Uncle Tang say that this seems to be a crime committed by a foreign criminal group. Have you found out the background of this criminal group? Also, how could Uncle Tang be sacrificed like this?"
Pan An sighed and said, "We didn't find out, but we guessed it, because the research of laser weapons is a top secret. Except for some spies, no foreign forces would know about it. But this happened on the day when the weapon research was successful. It is obvious that this technology has been targeted by that gang of criminals for a long time. As far as we know, there is indeed such a criminal group in the world that likes to steal the scientific research results of other countries and sell them to other countries to earn high rewards. This is the criminal group from the United States, the Joker Group!"
