Looking at the smug face of the leading policeman and listening to his words, I felt my brain buzzing instantly, as if the whole world was filled with buzzing sounds. At that moment, I could only see the smile of the policeman in front of me and the traces of his mouth movements, but I couldn't hear what he said at all.
I don't know how long this state lasted until I felt someone holding me from behind. The buzzing sound gradually disappeared, and then I heard Lin Yingxue angrily say behind me: "You are talking nonsense! How could Chief Bai issue such an order! Are you deliberately making things difficult for our special case team?"
The leading police officer looked at Lin Yingxue with disdain and said, "How dare I? I'm just an ordinary policeman. You are a powerful person in the special case team. How can I afford to offend you? But if I have to choose between offending a team member or the superior, who do you think I would offend? The order of the superior has spread throughout the imperial capital. If you don't believe it, you can ask people from other police stations in the imperial capital to see if it is true!"
As he spoke, the leading police officer seemed to remember something and continued, "By the way, the order not only contains Ji Wen's name, but also the name of a person named Lin Yingxue. It seems that you should be this person, right? Since both of you are involved in this case, I'm sorry, we can't do anything."
What is Bai Qi going to do? What is the purpose of his series of strange actions? If he doesn't want me to stay in the special case team, can't he just fire me? Is he playing tricks on me by issuing so many orders against me
I didn't have time to think too much, I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay! In that case, we won't get involved in this case, we'll leave now, you guys should continue investigating properly, right?"
"Haha, is it over with just one sentence of not getting involved? Since you are already here, even if you leave now, this case is still related to you two, so we still have to follow Chief Bai's orders. We don't have time to waste here with you."
At this moment, I just felt a suffocation in my chest, and my head was buzzing. I pointed at the leading policeman and said coldly, "What do you mean by this? A murder has happened before your eyes. Even with Uncle Bai's order, you should have fulfilled your duties as a police officer. But you just left like this. Do you think you can live up to your conscience?"
"Conscience? I can talk about conscience, but who will pay me if I talk about conscience? I still say that I will never intervene in this matter. If you continue to make trouble, don't blame me for not considering our friendship. I will arrest you and jail you for a few days for disturbing public order!"
I was about to get angry, but Lin Yingxue grabbed my hand tightly and shook her head helplessly at me. I could only watch the group of policemen swagger away, but I was powerless to do anything.
Perhaps our conversation just now was heard by the group of old men behind us. After the police left, they also left one after another. We have completely lost all power at this time. No one is afraid of us at all, and we have no reason to stop them at all.
Soon, all outsiders left the room, and the huge room became empty again. Only the senior sister and Lin Yingxue who were comforting Teacher Lin, and the fat man Shen Zhao who was doing something unknown were left. Everyone fell into silence, but everyone had different reasons for their silence.
"I now completely believe what you said. Commander Bai has indeed changed. Now it seems that it is not impossible for him to kill you."
I don’t know how long it was before Lin Yingxue appeared behind me again and spoke with a sad voice.
I had smoked five or six cigarettes in the meantime, and said with a hoarse voice, "If he doesn't want me to work anymore, can't he just fire me in person? Why make such a big fuss? If he really wants to kill me, as long as he gives me a reasonable explanation, I can just let him kill me."
Lin Yingxue walked up to me, took the cigarette from my mouth and put it out, then said, "Could it be that Commander Bai saw the photo you gave him before and thought you were Qiongqi himself, so he did this?"
"Impossible. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the photo was photoshopped. How could he possibly think that?"
"Could it be that Qiongqi deliberately intended to use this photo to make Commander Bai suspicious of you? Is this the real purpose of this photo?"
I rubbed my face vigorously and said, "That's not right. Qiongqi's methods are not limited to these. I still don't understand the true meaning of this photo. I guess none of us can guess the true meaning of this photo before Qiongqi takes action. I still say that Uncle Bai's change is absolutely directly related to his lie that night. As long as we find out what he experienced that night, we will know the answer! I have a feeling that he seems to be worried about something, but what is more important than the special case team in his mind? To the point that he has become like this now?"
"Could it be Bai Longfei? He is Commander Bai's son. Is someone using Bai Longfei to threaten Commander Bai?"
"Who can do anything to Brother Long? With Brother Long's ability, even if Titan comes, he may not be able to succeed, let alone others. Could this matter be related to 'that person'?"
Based on what I've learned during this period, there is indeed some kind of superior-subordinate relationship between Bai Qi and 'that person'. Even though Bai Qi has been very protective of me before, who knows if he will change his mind halfway and help 'that person'
Now it seems that what Tang Qingfeng said to me at the beginning did make sense. If Bai Qi really reached some kind of agreement with "that person" and completely obeyed the orders of "that person", then Tang Qingfeng's view of Bai Qi was correct.
Speaking of 'that person', I can't help but think of my dad. Now I have no one to rely on. At this moment, I just feel so helpless, and the future is completely dark. In this state, let alone facing Qiongqi, even if I face Qiongqi's subordinates, I am afraid I will be defeated.
I suddenly missed Officer Yang and Tang Qingfeng. Unfortunately, Officer Yang was obviously several levels lower than Bai Qi and could not help me at all. Tang Qingfeng had passed away. If Tang Qingfeng were still alive, he would definitely support me in my current situation and I would not be so helpless.
While I was thinking, I found my dad's phone number in the phone book. Looking at my dad's phone number, I didn't know whether I should call him at this time. Seeing my hesitation, Lin Yingxue encouraged me, "In this situation, I think you still need to discuss it with Senior Ji Yong. After all, he is knowledgeable and knows Commander Bai very well. Maybe you can get some clues from him."
With Lin Yingxue's encouragement, I instantly gained the courage, immediately dialed my father's cell phone, and waited quietly for him to answer the call.
"You haven't called me for so long, has something happened again?"
After my dad answered the phone, he said these words. Although his tone was a little blaming, it was still full of concern. Hearing my dad's words in this situation, I almost couldn't hold back my tears.
I tried to calm myself down and told my father in detail what had happened during this period. Although I still don’t know whether my father has any connection with the God Organization, he is my father after all. At this time, I can only choose to rely on and trust him.
After I finished telling the story, my dad was silent for a full minute, then he said in a deep voice: "How dare that bastard Bai Qi bully my son! Just wait, I'm going to settle the score with him!"
I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't be like this. I feel that Uncle Bai must have some difficulties, but I can't analyze what he is worried about now. Dad, you know Uncle Bai well, do you know why he has changed so much this time?"
My dad sighed and said, "Bai Qi's personality is hard to figure out. Sometimes he's good, sometimes he's bad. I don't know what's going on with him. But now you still haven't completely understood everything. If you connect everything together, you'll find that many things are actually related."
"I won't talk about anything else. Let's just talk about Qiongqi. He issued a so-called declaration of war to you that night, and Bai Qi also had an accident that night. Obviously, these two things are definitely related! If you can find out the relationship between these two things, then I think everything you want to know will be revealed!"
I understood what my father meant. He actually just wanted me to find out the relationship between Bai Qi and Qiongqi. Although I had thought of this, it was really difficult to find out.
"As for the man wearing the evil ghost mask, we are still unsure whether it is Bai Qi, so you must be careful no matter what. If it is Bai Qi, I am relieved. After all, he doesn't dare to kill you. If he really dares to touch you, he knows what the consequences will be! But if it is someone else, then I don't know whether this murderous intention will be established. Xiao Wen, why don't you come back first? So many things have happened now. You will be safer by my side. At least I can guarantee that no one can do anything to you under my nose!"
Lin Yingxue also heard what my dad said on the phone. She immediately nodded at me continuously. Although she didn't say anything, I could tell from her eager eyes that she wanted me to agree to my dad. After all, in Lin Yingxue's eyes, there was no place safer than my dad's.
But Lin Yingxue gradually stopped nodding, because she had seen my decision from my eyes. Although she was a little disappointed, she still smiled at me encouragingly.
"I'm sorry, Dad. Now that the problem has come to me, there's no reason for me to back down. If I back down now, I'll never be able to raise my head again in my life. No matter how dangerous my current situation is, no matter how many people want to kill me, I must get through this!"
