Better than me
How dare you say it!
Fries stared at the cellar, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cold air on his body gushed out uncontrollably.
Few things excite the normally calm Frith.
unless…
Kieran is involved!
That's it for this time.
After becoming Qin Ran's follower, he has always regarded himself as Qin Ran's strongest follower.
After all, he doesn't pay attention to people like 'Bloodman' Odok at all.
However, the upper level evil spirits are different.
He could clearly feel the power of the upper evil spirit.
Moreover, there is a hint of weirdness in this power.
This sense of weirdness is what fries the most.
Without a doubt, this is his biggest contender to be the strongest follower of that lord.
"Maybe, I'm a little behind now."
"But, I'll catch up."
Frith didn't hide his thoughts, and said directly to the cellar.
Of course, he would never impulsively jump down and argue with the higher-ranking evil spirit.
Because, he didn't want to ruin the adult's plan because of his recklessness.
Turning around, Fries picked up the umbrella standing at the door and hurriedly disappeared into the rain.
…
As the night wore on, the heavy rain became lighter, but this did not prevent the residents of Aikend from going home early.
Of course.
Some of them are meant to be busy.
Pudek looked solemnly at the many corpses in front of him.
Except for the two bodies that were charred in the wreckage of the car, the rest of the bodies were all strange.
One seemed to have been sprayed with liquid nitrogen and became an ice sculpture.
The other one seemed to be hit hard by a steam hammer several times, turning into a pool of mud, and even the face could not be distinguished.
The remaining six people were all hanged.
Their tongues were pulled out and wrapped around their necks. Pudek could tell that this person was extremely professional.
It neither broke the tongue during the pulling process, nor properly covered the rope that actually hanged these people.
From a distance, these six people really seemed to be hanged by their own tongues.
But it wasn't how these people died that made Pudek look serious.
Rather, the identities of these people.
"Are you sure?"
Pudek asked his assistant.
"The smashed flesh and the two scorched corpses cannot be confirmed, but the rest can be confirmed."
"They're all that so-called 'Night Squad.'"
The young assistant's face was slightly pale, and he tried not to breathe while speaking.
It was too bloody.
The young assistant, who thought he was brave, vomited simply when he got out of the car and saw the charred and muddy corpse.
Then, when checking the hanged and frozen corpses, he couldn't help but vomited again.
"Relax."
"Remember to bring a mint next time."
"It will help you get used to it quickly."
Seeing that the tall assistant was as helpless as a little girl, Pudek took out the mint in his hand and threw a piece to him.
The assistant immediately swallowed the mints, and the coldness from the tip of his tongue made him feel a little better even though he was gagging.
"what should we do?"
The assistant pointed to the corpse and asked.
"Follow the rules."
"What about monitoring?"
"Did you find anything inside?"
After saying this, Pudek walked towards the corpse again.
For the so-called 'Night Squad', the middle-aged sheriff doesn't have any good feelings, but this doesn't mean he will give up his duties.
"No!"
"The monitoring here has been hacked, and there is no record."
"Besides, because of the heavy rain today, this place is very remote, and no one has seen anything unusual."
The assistant reported immediately.
"Hacked again?"
"Are those people in the technical department really working for nothing?"
Pudek frowned and scolded in a low voice.
The assistant smiled wryly and did not speak.
Because, he knew very well that the colleagues in the technical department really tried their best, but the old equipment, the shortage of funds, and the ever-changing urban area made it more difficult for the technical department, which was already stretched, even more difficult. , to a certain extent, the technical department of Aikend City is barely functioning at this time.
Pudek didn't know these things.
In other words, the middle-aged sheriff was deliberately excluded from this circle.
Seeing the middle-aged sheriff seriously inspecting the scene, the assistant couldn't help but sigh.
He really wanted to tell the middle-aged sheriff the truth, but he couldn't.
He knew very well that once he spoke, not only would he not be able to solve anything, but it would make things even more troublesome.
Just when the young assistant was full of struggles, a car in the distance completely ignored the police's obstruction and drove straight into the scene.
Immediately, everyone's eyes were drawn to it.
The car door was pushed open, and a tall man stepped out of the car, wearing a black suit and leather shoes, with a cold face and no expression, he looked like a robot.
The posture of walking is as if it has been measured, every step is exactly the same distance.
"stop."
The middle-aged police chief shouted loudly, and the surrounding police officers even drew their guns and pointed at each other.
However, the other party ignored these at all, and just walked towards the corpse.
"Put down the gun!"
"Put down your guns!"
An almost exasperated voice sounded from inside the car, and a short man with half-white hair and a protruding belly jumped out of the car.
"Director?"
The surrounding police officers were taken aback, and subconsciously put away their guns.
"Pudek has nothing to do with you here."
The short man waved his hand at the middle-aged police chief, and then quickly ran towards the tall man before him. Before reaching the tall man, the chief asked in a flattering tone: "Your Excellency, major? Do you have any orders?"
Major
People from the federal military
Everyone present heard the director's words clearly.
Then, everyone thought about the rumors about the 'Night Squad' being military-affiliated.
Are the rumors true
The middle-aged sheriff looked sideways at him.
"Which one is Sheriff Puddeck?"
The tall major asked directly.
"That bastard Pudek is still recuperating because of the 'Man with a Thousand Faces Incident' a while ago. If you want to find him, I'll arrange for someone to notify you right away."
The short man said with a sorry face.
The hand behind his back was gesticulating repeatedly at Pudek, signaling Pudek to disappear quickly.
"Director Steve, do you think I'm a fool?"
The major turned his head to look at the chief, the pressure in his eyes made Steve's forehead start to sweat.
"no no."
"How dare I?"
"It's just that Pudek is really still recuperating."
Steve waved his hands again and again, with a look of panic on his face.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Pudek who was not moving, but his heart was full of anxiety.
He didn't know what orders the major of the military had, but he knew that getting involved with these people would never end well.
Therefore, when he got out of the car, he directly identified the other party's identity, telling his subordinates not to be impulsive.
It was just beyond his expectation that the other party didn't seem to care about the life and death of this 'Night Squad', but was interested in his capable subordinate Pudek.
Did Pudek inadvertently provoke someone from the military
This idea appeared in Steve's mind almost involuntarily.
Then, it was quickly approved by Steve.
Because, he really knows what Pudek is like.
Stubborn, not to mention business affairs, but always persevering.
Some things that should have been perfunctory had to be revealed.
Because of this, Pudek, who has repeatedly made meritorious service, is still a sheriff.
But no matter what, Pudek is his subordinate.
He had no reason to throw his men out.
"Your Excellency Major, please follow me, and I will take you to the nursing home to find Pudek."
Steve said so.
He was going to take this major who suddenly appeared on a day trip to Eikend.
Then, let Pudek go away for a while.
As for not being able to find it
Pudek is not paralyzed, he has legs and can walk by himself, so why is it strange to leave
"Yeah?"
The tall major sneered, and pushed Steve away in front of him. The short, elderly Steve fell to the ground immediately.
The surrounding police officers raised their guns again and looked at the tall major with unfriendly expressions.
Perhaps Steve seemed a bit shameless, but he was very nice to them at ordinary times, and he worked hard to fight for everything they deserved, and even stood in front of them without flinching at critical moments, protecting them from the wind and rain. Now Being pushed down, the pusher naturally aroused the police officer's anger.
"fine!"
"I'm fine!"
"Put down the guns!"
Steve got up from the ground and shouted again and again.
Although the federal military cannot directly intervene in Eikend, but Steve, who knows some inside information, absolutely does not want his subordinates to conflict with the federal military.
Because, it will definitely be his subordinates who will suffer.
"Your Excellency, Major, you are really powerful, but, Pudek..."
"Are you looking for me?"
With a shy face and a smile on his face, Steve leaned over again, wanting to say something more, but was stopped by the middle-aged police chief.
Suddenly, Steve widened his eyes and glared at Pudek.
The middle-aged sheriff smiled and patted Steve on the shoulder to express his gratitude.
His character made it impossible to hide behind Steve.
Similarly, he also knew that he couldn't hide.
The other party came prepared as soon as he saw it, and it was impossible to fool him just because of Steve's few words.
"follow me."
After the major finished speaking, he returned to the car.
Pudek gave Steve a reassuring gesture and followed.
Watching the starting car, Steve's expression changed again and again, and then, he walked to the police car beside him, picked up the walkie-talkie in it, and tuned to a special channel.
He can't afford to mess with people from the federal military.
But Pudek he had to keep.
Therefore, someone who can provoke the federal military has to come forward.
For example, the Lord Mayor from the House of Lords.
…
"I thought Steve was just a gluttonous, greedy old jerk."
Inside the car, the major spoke first.
"When did the federal military care so much about the place?"
"It's still a major like you."
The middle-aged sheriff sneered.
Naturally, a major cannot represent the military, and it is even more impossible to intervene in the city of Aikend. Pudek said this, purely mocking the other party.
As for why
Purely because of what the other party called Steve.
Although they often called Steve a jerk, an old bastard, etc. in private, there was no malice in it.
Moreover, they are all their own people.
An outsider called Steve like this, which naturally aroused Pudek's dissatisfaction.
Coupled with all the previous ones, Pudek has classified the other party into the category of annoying people.
However, facing such sarcasm, the major shook his head without hesitation.
"I don't care about the city of Eikend."
"My relationship is with someone in Aikend City."
"Who is this guy?"
"If it were me, I'd be really flattered."
Pudek spread his hands, expecting an answer.
"Not you."
"But it has something to do with you."
"2567!"
The major said the name.
2567
Pudek was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the direction of the car was Lantonding Street.
"You want to find 2567?"
"Then, do you think he has a good relationship with me?"
"So, you pulled me up?"
"I really suspect that your intelligence department is all over the place. Where did you get the idea that our relationship is good?"
As Pudek said, he laughed.
The kind that brings tears to my eyes.
"It's not a good relationship."
"It is related."
As the major said, he suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Pudek.
The space in the car was narrow, and Pudek had no room to dodge at all. Looking at the grasped palm, he swung his elbow and hit the opponent's rib.
boom!
The elbow blow, which is enough to break the ribs of a normal person, did not work at all for this major. Instead, Pudek felt a sharp pain in his elbow, as if he had been hit on a steel plate, but more importantly Yes, his neck was tightly strangled by the opponent's palm.
Pudek opened his mouth involuntarily when the other party exerted a little force.
Then, a capsule-like thing was thrown into Pudek's mouth.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Pudek coughed again and again, closing his throat, trying to cough out the capsule, but it didn't work at all.
"What it is?"
Pudek glared at him.
"nice one!"
"What ordinary people want to get is hard to get!"
"And you?"
"It's a lucky one, if it weren't for..."
The other party's words continued, but Pudek couldn't hear clearly.
A strong sense of fatigue surged like a tide, he struggled to open his eyes, but in the end, he closed them.
Looking at Pudek who fell asleep, the major sneered.
"Did you really think it would be free to kill Raulsey?"
"Boost."
the major ordered.
Suddenly, the speed of the car more than doubled.
Only ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of No. 17 Langtonding Street.
Carrying the sleeping Pudek, the major got out of the car, walked to the door, and knocked on the door.
Boom, boom, boom.
After a clear knock on the door, an electronic sound came from the room.
"Sorry, the master is going on some important matters, so I don't see any guests, please come back later if you have something to do."
"..."
A cold look flashed across the major's face, and he kicked towards the door.
