The street where the coffee shop is located is very remote, the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the stench of sewers poured out. People who heard the noise covered their noses and asked in panic if the explosion was caused by a natural gas leak.
Ten minutes later, the police car and the maintenance engineering vehicle of the municipal department roared to check the danger carefully.
The manhole cover was thrown to the side, and the blood and water were mixed in the sludge and could not be distinguished at all. Some pieces of clothing aroused the suspicion of the police. When they wanted to check, they felt strange resistance in the manhole.
When the members of the Red Dragon team arrived, they obtained a revolver wrapped in black cloth from the front desk of the coffee shop, as well as a laptop and other items. They put on energy-detecting glasses and saw the mycelium all over the floor, as well as the mushrooms plugging the manhole.
After struggling to enter the sewers, the remains of the suicide attacker were found.
According to the traces left at the scene, the red dragon quickly came to the conclusion that at least ten layers of mushrooms were wrapped around the attacker when the explosion occurred, and the mushroom ball "jumped" into the manhole.
The power of this explosive was "enjoyed" by the attackers themselves.
The Red Dragon team members, who stepped on the mud to check the situation, looked around, their faces changed greatly: "Notify Major Zhang that the situation is not good."
There are no mushrooms everywhere in Huai City, but the city's sewer pipe network is hard to say. The mushrooms reflected by special glasses have no end.
Mycelium is the product of supernatural power, a special kind of energy crystal. When the "phagocytosis" feature is not triggered, no matter blood or sludge, it just floats on the surface of the mycelium and cannot touch it.
The heat detector indicated that there was a situation not far away.
The Red Dragon team turned on the flashlight and walked more than 20 meters along the pipeline. They found two people dragged by the mycelium into the manhole. They struggled hard, but only their nose and eyes were exposed, and they looked like a mummy. almost.
The stench from the sewers killed them both.
"There is a living mouth!" The Red Dragon team members wearing masks were very excited.
It's no use hiding poison in your teeth this time!
With no evidence, there are two more living Holy Gate organization killers, and Colonel Lu can negotiate with the US intelligence agencies leisurely. Because the Jack in the hands of Red Dragon, strictly speaking, he did not violate the laws of China, and forcibly detaining him is not in line with the procedure, and it is obviously not advantageous to use it for negotiation.
The members of the Red Dragon team found a canvas bag and stuffed the "mycelium mummy" into it. After the street was completely blocked, they hoisted people up and threw them into the military vehicle and drove all the way to the Haicheng Military District.
That night, the photo of the two people arrested by Mushroom was identified by the director of the cleaning service company, and it was confirmed that they were the people who had sneaked into Xingtian Entertainment, pretending to be a camera for candid photography, and touched the chandelier.
"According to the director of the cleaning service company, there were three suspicious people he had contacted with. In addition to the two guys who came to clean the chandeliers on the day, there was also a fake reporter, who gave him 100,000 cash as a deposit. "
Major Zhang looked over the interrogation records with a sullen face.
The two people bound by mushrooms had no entry records at all and were suspected of smuggling.
The appearance is Asian, but the skin is slightly darker and the stature is short, similar to Southeast Asians.
"It is now suspected that the deceased was—"
"Impossible!" Zhang Yaojin interrupted his subordinates.
If the dead are fake journalists, the number is right, but the body has been bombed so that nothing can be recognized, and only DNA can be extracted and recorded into the system.
"The Holy Gate organization is so mysterious, and to carry out such a big operation, there must be a leader in China. The killer of the Holy Gate organization that has been discovered so far will die when exposed. Is such a person the commander?"
Even if it is a terrorist organization composed of religious fanatics, the leader will cherish his life and will not be willing to die.
"The major suspects the reporter?"
Zhang Yaojin frowned deeply and asked, "Has the test results of the poison in their mouths come out?"
"It is a neurotoxin, it should be extracted from animals, and it is initially suspected to be snake venom."
"Director of the cleaning company, what does the reporter mentioned in the confession look like?"
"About 1.7 meters tall, he looks like he's in his thirties, he looks ordinary and has no obvious features, but he is definitely Chinese, and he looks like a reporter. As for things like press credentials, because doing such illegal activities, The man refused to provide it, and the director of the cleaning company was not suspicious."
Zhang Yaojin immediately ordered: "Send someone to investigate the reporters of all the newspapers and magazines in Haicheng!"
"Major, what is the scope of our investigation? Only age and gender?"
"The age is not accurate. For this kind of group that contacts the entertainment industry on a daily basis, it is easy to put on makeup a few years younger or a few years older! The scope of the investigation is that Xingtian Entertainment will be in the venue for the New Year's Eve. The reporters who are tasked to go to the border cities to interview, if they can't find them, they will expand the scope to the reporters who were guarding the entrance of Xingtian Entertainment to take pictures before the incident."
"Yes!"
A member of the Red Dragon team left in a hurry, the new order was conveyed, and someone came to report it twenty minutes later.
"The people from Xingtian Entertainment provided an important clue. After the lights went out, a reporter in the venue forcibly took pictures regardless of the regulations. The camera was just aimed at Li Fei's position. It is a major suspicion that helps the sniper identify the target, please indicate whether arrest!"
"People are still in Haicheng?"
"Yes!"
"Don't worry, monitor first! A person in command of the operation, not so stupid, took the initiative to make suspicious behavior! Investigate this reporter's colleague, or... "
"Reporting to the major, the investigation found a major suspect! A reporter from this newspaper took the task of interviewing the ethnic song and dance school in Ganzhou in the northwest a few months ago, but yesterday he suddenly set off ahead of schedule!"
The New Year's Day holiday is crowded, and it's hard to understand now running outside.
"Going further north from Ganzhou is Xinjiang..." Zhang Yaojin's expression changed, "Immediately notify the Honglong branch over there that there are high-speed toll gates deployed at the train station and bus station, and people must be stopped!"
***
The snow fell more and the wind was cold.
Because of the fear of tire slippage, Jian Hua drove the car very slowly, and his face was not good-looking.
"When you brought your laptop, it wasn't in the screen saver state, and I went through the web history. These people are fairly cautious, except for today's traces, everything has been cleared."
Jian Hua listened silently, because his English was not good, and he didn't understand those webpages after seeing them.
Li Fei hand-copied a few pieces of information and handed it over to Geng Tian to take away. Jian Hua had been waiting for Li Fei's explanation since he got in the car, but only at the third intersection did Li Fei speak.
"No one is following." Li Fei was confirming this.
"There are many buildings in the city. Someone is standing on a tall building in the distance and using binoculars to monitor this side, but you can't see it." Jian Hua said coldly.
Li Fei smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about this, I can feel if anyone is watching me."
Jian Hua, who always looks at Li Fei through the rearview mirror: "..."
When Li Fei got into the car, Li Fei wanted to sit in the co-pilot's seat. Jian Hua directly locked the door. The reason was high-sounding. The front glass windows were transparent and not safe enough.
Li Fei didn't intend to anger Jian Hua. He closed it when he saw it, and sighed: "But usually, this ability has no early warning effect, because there are too many people watching me."
"… "
Although true, it sounds a bit itchy.
"Don't wear thermal underwear and woolen sweaters anymore. Add a few more layers to your clothes. If you can't stop bullets, thick clothes can still come in handy." Jian Hua said with a blank expression, he didn't believe that wearing a ball would still be possible. See Li Fei's true face.
Winter is a good season for camouflage travel.
They came to this coffee shop in order to set a trap and wait for the killer of the Holy Gate Organization to take the bait.
Although the fact that this store is funded by Li Fei is not public in the industry, Li Fei never thought of concealing this before. Someone took a photo of Li Fei in front of the coffee shop a year ago.
Since the other party has been lurking for a long time, Huaicheng is near Haicheng again, and it is more appropriate to wait here.
After this incident, the coffee shop just closed down, and the assassin didn't think Li Fei would come back here.
"After all, I also spent a lot of time on the decoration of this store. It's a pity that it was destroyed!" Li Fei said to himself.
"Wait until the war breaks out between the powers of various countries, closing the door will not stop the damage, you pray that it is lucky enough!"
Li Fei heard the displeasure in Jian Hua's tone, thought about the reason, and immediately brought the topic back to business: "There is not much information in that computer, a domestic email address, and an overseas account. The account is registered at On a foreign forum that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Holy Gate Organization, the forum is about football games and the weather conditions in the various states of the United States."
"so?"
"Maybe it's a pretense, there's a password hidden in it, but without the codebook to compare, we took it and gave it to Red Dragon to deal with it!" Li Fei said easily, "The problem is the domain name of the forum, Laniakea."
"… "
"Red Dragon didn't tell you the name of the author of this book?"
A sudden stop told Li Fei that the answer was no.
"This is not particularly important information." Li Fei quickly changed his mind.
Jian Hua looked at the slowly moving traffic in front of him, turned the steering wheel decisively, and drove the car into the underground parking lot of a supermarket chain.
"Inform Honglong and ask them to bring the spare car keys to pick up the car!" Jian Hua motioned to Li Fei to walk home with him, "For safety, this car was borrowed by Honglong. Since it has appeared at the entrance of the coffee shop, Don't drive back."
"..." He clearly said that no one was watching.
Forget prudence first, that's right!
Li Fei walked out of the parking lot. He estimated that it was about five kilometers away from Jian Hua's house. If he was walking... Oh, it would be a good feeling to be on the road with the person he likes.
It would be better if it weren't for the southern winters.
The wet and cold wind was blowing on his face, and even though there was a scarf covering half of his face, Li Fei still wanted to use his supernatural powers to keep him warm.
More troublesome than cold, of course, is Jian Hua's mood—
"Nania Kea is the author of the novel "The Abandoned". The pseudonym comes from Laniakea. I checked the word and the meaning is very interesting."
Jian Hua followed next to him, waiting to hear the following.
He was easily attracted to Li Fei. The way the other party revealed secrets and talked about things could make Jian Hua put aside his distractions and follow Li Fei's topic involuntarily.
"The earth belongs to the solar system, the solar system belongs to the Milky Way, and what does the Milky Way belong to?"
"universe?"
"The Milky Way belongs to the Laniakea supercluster of galaxies. Where we stand, the range that we can move in our lifetime will not exceed the space represented by the name Laniakea. Isn't it interesting?"
"Aside from the fact that this is an American hero novel, it can be regarded as a science fiction novel that is barely relevant. It is not unusual for a science fiction author to use this pseudonym." Jian Hua did not agree with Li Fei's words. This is just a coincidence and unnecessary. Connect with your own situation and lament your destiny.
"Aren't you angry anymore?"
"… "
Jian Hua turned his head to speed up the pace.
The author has something to say: laniakea, Hawaiian, means endless paradise outcast, outcast, outcast…
"outcast" by lania.kea, so you know, this is just a little trick I played, it has no practical significance╮(╯▽╰)╭
—————
The currently observed universe is like a capillary diagram (hey), it is a fibrous divergent structure anyway, and the laniakea supercluster is a segment of it.
The official translated name of laniakea seems to be laniakea
But I seem to have seen a translation of the Chinese name Lantian, or is it Lantian? (don't know right or wrong)
Okay, tomorrow I will change the pseudonym to Lan Tian Lai Ke (what the hell) for short Lan Tian, which is easier to write than the current name.
