Although Qiongqi had already escaped when the local police arrived, and the bomb in the newspaper office behind him had exploded, they still stabilized the situation as quickly as possible, dispersed the onlookers, called a group of soldiers who might be from the fire brigade to search the scene, and then took all of us back to the local police station.
My mind was full of Qiongqi's thoughts. I don't know how much time had passed before we arrived at the local police station. We took the only surviving foreigner among the four members of the Joker gang to a secret cell for temporary detention. As for the other three, one was shot in the head by Titan, and the other two snipers had also been killed by Titan long ago.
Since the foreigner was a member of the Clown Group, the local police did not dare to interrogate him directly. After all, the Clown Group was of great importance, and the chief of the local police station was planning to let Bai Qi come and interrogate him personally.
Speaking of Bai Qi, I couldn't help but call Bai Qi again. Still no one answered the call. Bai Longfei was so angry that he almost went crazy. He said that after this matter is over, we will go back to take a shower and change clothes, and then go to Bai Qi's house to find him and see what he is doing.
I agree with Bai Longfei's suggestion. After all, this kind of unusual thing must be figured out. What if something happens to Bai Qi
In addition to the foreigner, there were two police officers who came back with us. I had not intended to tell anyone about the two police officers. After all, although they wanted to kill us at the time, they did not pose any threat. It could only be said that they were bewitched. If I told anyone about what happened, their lives would probably be over.
But my silence doesn't mean others won't tell the truth. In front of the two policemen, Bai Longfei exaggerated what I had told him before about what the two policemen had done in the newspaper office, making the local police chief's face turn pale. After all, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to happen to a policeman, let alone his subordinates.
The two police officers had already lowered their heads in shame, and I immediately pleaded for the police officer who had come to his senses at the critical moment, hoping that the chief would give him a lighter sentence. The chief turned around and looked at me gratefully, then sighed and said, "It was my dereliction of duty that this happened. I apologize to you all here. I will handle their affairs fairly and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
Such a big thing happened here, the whole police station was very busy. Seeing that there was nothing for us to do here, I prepared to go back to the special case team to change clothes and take a shower. After all, we looked like we had just come back from the desert, covered in dust and dirt and even our faces could not be seen clearly. But at this moment, the chief suddenly received a call, and then his face immediately became gloomy. After hanging up the phone, he called everyone to set off and prepare to go to the newspaper office that had become a ruin again.
I was very curious why the director wanted to call someone over again just after he came back, so I took the opportunity when the director was free to ask him what was going on.
"My boss called me just now and said that someone had anonymously reported that the newspaper was suspected of illegally collecting confidential information and then reselling it to some foreign news organizations. There was a spy plot. Now we have to investigate this matter. If this is really the case, then this explosion may not be all bad."
The director was in a hurry and didn't continue to talk to us. He left with his people. After the director left, Lin Yingxue and Bai Longfei asked me what was going on. Why was that newspaper suddenly involved in so many problems
They asked me about this kind of thing, who should I ask? But when I think back to all the information I learned about the newspaper, I suddenly felt cold sweat on my forehead, and it was terrifying to think about it!
I complained about this newspaper before, saying why did this newspaper hire three security guards? If the information the director just said is correct, then it is normal for this newspaper to hire three security guards. I even think that three security guards are a bit too few!
This kind of thing is naturally very confidential and must be done in secret. Once it is leaked, no one in this newspaper will escape the severe punishment of the law! No wonder they made the security measures so thorough!
But if that was the case, how did the director's superior know about this? Who tipped off
Ever since Director Zhao was alive, the newspaper has been employing three security guards, and those three are all quite old. It is obvious that this pattern of three security guards has been going on for many years. In other words, they have been guilty for many years, and everything has been fine for all these years. Why did someone suddenly come to inform on them after the explosion in the newspaper building today
What’s even more bizarre is that the explosion in the newspaper building happened only half an hour ago, and at that time, in order to prevent the news from spreading, the police dispersed a large number of people. It is obviously unlikely that it was reported by employees within the newspaper, and employees within the newspaper would not necessarily know that the newspaper was still doing such things. So now everything is very clear, the informer is Qiongqi!
If it was Qiongqi, then everything would make sense. Qiongqi had long known about the selling of state secrets in this building. This was why Qiongqi condoned Zhao Hao's behavior this time, because he also wanted to make this newspaper disappear completely and eradicate this cancer once and for all!
If this is the case, then I am even more confused. Qiongqi's starting point for doing this is obviously correct, so why did he create the evil force of the God Organization
From the last case of the Dengfeng City blueprints, I felt that Qiongqi might not be as bad as I imagined. Now that something like this has happened again, it makes me feel that my guess is correct. This Qiongqi has a side that I don’t know about.
Recalling what Li Sha told me before, Qiongqi seems to be somewhat powerless in the God Organization, and many times he cannot do things according to his own ideas. This proves that there is still a person or a force that can restrain Qiongqi!
If there is no such restraint to restrain Qiongqi, then in a sense, Qiongqi and I are actually the same kind of people! Whether it is our work style or our worldview, we are so similar!
The more I thought about this, the scarier it became. I immediately shook my head to stop thinking about it and said to Bai Longfei and the others, "Let's wait until they finish their investigation tomorrow before asking them. Now let's go back and take a shower and change clothes. I'm feeling sick."
Bai Longfei nodded and drove us back to the special case team. We went back to our respective dormitories to take a shower and pack up. About half an hour later, which was around 3:40 in the morning, we packed up and walked out, letting Bai Longfei take us to Bai Qi's home.
I realized that I had never been to Bai Qi's home, nor had I met Bai Longfei's mother. This made me feel a little embarrassed. I thought to myself that it was my first time to go to someone's home empty-handed. I felt a little embarrassed and wanted to buy something, but where could I buy things in the middle of the night
On the way, Bai Longfei told me that his mother had gone out for a trip and Bai Qi was the only one at home, so I didn't need to feel restrained and could just treat it as returning to my own home.
Soon, Bai Longfei brought us to a simple residential area. We parked the car downstairs and entered a unit and went to the third floor. Bai Longfei hurriedly took out the key and opened the door. All of us rushed in immediately to see if Bai Qi was at home.
But when we opened the door, we saw that the living room was brightly lit, and Bai Qi, who had disappeared for a long time, was lying on the sofa, watching the game leisurely!
"Why are you here? Come in and have a drink of water."
Bai Qi was also confused when he saw us coming in. He hurriedly invited us in and asked Bai Longfei to pour us some water. I asked Bai Qi in confusion, "Uncle Bai, why didn't you answer the phone? We thought something happened to you!"
Bai Qi was stunned and asked in confusion: "You called me? But my phone never rang?"
Bai Qi said as he immediately took out his phone from his clothes on the sofa. He turned on the screen and said in surprise, "So many missed calls? Why didn't I hear any? Is the sound broken?"
Bai Qi was fiddling with his phone as he spoke, checking the missed calls, while Bai Longfei said unhappily, "What? We were worried for nothing. We thought something had happened to you."
"What could possibly happen to me? I've been watching the game at home since I got off work. Since you didn't call me, I thought you had dealt with the matter over there, so I didn't ask any more questions. So, what's going on over there? Has the murderer been caught?"
Anyway, we were no longer sleepy, so Bai Qi asked Lin Yingxue to go to the kitchen to make some midnight snacks. We sat together to eat, while Bai Longfei talked incessantly and exaggeratedly about our experiences tonight. Bai Qi listened with rich expressions throughout, and it was obvious that he did not expect that we would go through so many things.
Of course, when Bai Longfei was telling the story of the case, I didn't say a word. Instead, I stared at Bai Qi in front of me in confusion, because I knew that Bai Qi was lying to us!
He is a very particular person. Every time I go to his office, his clothes are neatly hung on the hanger. Even if there is a little wrinkle, he will find a way to smooth it out, as if he has obsessive-compulsive disorder. But now, although Bai Qi is watching TV in pajamas, his clothes are casually thrown on the ground and on the sofa, which is completely out of tune with the tidy appearance of the whole room. It's as if he took off his clothes in a hurry and threw them away without any time to put them away!
That is to say, before we came, Bai Qi had just returned and was not at home for the whole night. So why did he say that he was watching the game? He even didn't answer our calls? What was he busy with
I was just thinking about this question when Bai Longfei finished telling the whole story. Bai Qi looked at me solemnly and said, "Ji Wen, take out the photo that Qiongqi left for you and let me see it."
