Chapter 5(2/2)
If he was exposed in advance, would the night watchman deal with Hong Ying or himself?
"Mysterious power... maybe the night watchman is like this, and the red shadow should be the same way. Are the two sides working together, or are they hostile?"
Li Hao couldn't judge because he lacked the channels to understand this information.
If the two sides end up working together, those who discover Hong Ying will be killed and silenced. This is the outcome that Li Hao is most worried about.
Headache!
At this moment, Li Hao was very confused.
He longed for the night watchman to take action against Hong Ying and avenge Zhang Yuan and his parents, but he was worried that he would eventually go the other way and expose himself instead, and be silenced by the night watchman.
"Just wait a few more days..."
Li Hao knew that he was in danger, but even so, he would rather wait a few more days for the results and attitude of the law enforcement team.
Now, I just accidentally discovered the anomaly in the self-immolation case. I believe that as long as the law enforcement team is serious, they will soon discover it.
At that time, if there were still smart people in the law enforcement team, Li Hao felt that the law enforcement team would probably contact the night watchman in advance.
Just now, Li Hao revealed that a self-immolation case is likely to occur in the next few days, just to make the law enforcement team feel the urgency. If the law enforcement team is used to lure out the night watchmen, then Li Hao can see red without being exposed.
It's about the shadow.
"Moreover, the teacher will soon lead a team to go out for inspection. In this case, the night watchmen will appear. Regardless of whether there are night watchmen in Yincheng, there should be night watchmen arriving in the past few days."
After going over everything, and convinced that the night watchman would most likely appear, Li Hao temporarily gave up the idea of actively exposing himself.
Maybe we will know soon whether the other party is in the same group.
Before the rainy day arrives, if the night watchman hasn't appeared yet and hasn't taken the initiative to talk to me to understand the situation...then I have to find a way to expose him.
…
Walk out of the inspection department.
The scorching sun has set, the sky is a little red, and the sunset is emerging.
There are not many people passing by outside, the weather is sultry, and it has been extremely hot even until 8 or 9 pm recently, so few people come out.
Li Hao's home is not too far from the Inspection Department, about seven or eight kilometers.
Li Hao took out his bicycle and got on it. He has been riding to work this year.
On the one hand, it is to exercise, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid some dangers.
In places with many people, it is not easy to detect danger.
After Zhang Yuan's death, Li Hao has always been very cautious.
As he got on the bike, Li Hao looked around unintentionally, as if he was looking at the road conditions and the scenery. In fact, he wanted to see if anyone was following him.
Especially today, it was determined that Hongying's next target would be himself.
Li Hao was thinking, how does Hongying position these people?
According to Li Hao's judgment, the red shadows will not appear for too long. Every time they appear, they will disappear quickly. The time they stay outside is very short. In this case, how can they be accurately located?
Does that mean that there are actually people secretly observing in advance, just waiting for the red shadow to harvest and kill?
This possibility is not impossible.
Although he is not a professional patrol officer, Li Hao still possesses some basic counter-reconnaissance capabilities.
"Nothing has been found yet. Could it be that the red shadow can directly locate us? Is it related to the Starry Sky Sword on my body? Can we be tracked through these inherited treasures?"
The bicycle moved slowly, and Li Hao placed the Whirlpool III in the inner pocket of his jacket and unbuttoned it. It looked like blowing air, but in fact it was to take out the gun and shoot as quickly as possible.
As always, Li Hao found no problems.
But when Li Hao rode downhill and the bicycle slid rapidly, Li Hao's heart skipped a beat.
On the rapidly sliding bicycle, Li Hao glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a small black car driving towards him in the opposite lane. It was very ordinary and ordinary, and seemed to be no different from the vehicles coming and going.
"Silver 7219!"
Li Hao was shocked, something was wrong.
He had just seen this car. Although the streets were full of cars like this, they were just the most basic scooters. Nine out of ten cars were like this, but... Li Hao remembered this license plate!
Li Hao, who was admitted to Yincheng Ancient Academy, naturally has his own merits.
A good memory is almost a must.
If he didn't have any merit, he wouldn't have been favored by the old professor Yuan Shuo, and he quickly came into Yuan Shuo's orbit and became his student.
"Something's wrong. This car was going in the same direction as me just now. I was riding slowly, and this car had already passed me and drove away. It took about 7 minutes!"
For 7 minutes, according to the speed of this car, it kept going forward. There was a straight road in front of it, and there was no suitable parking spot.
If you are doing errands or sending someone off, you won't be able to drive back so quickly.
Now the other party drove back and met Li Hao head-on, which meant that the car turned around and drove back not long after leaving Li Hao.
Li Hao's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was shaken.
"It's never happened before, today is the first time... is someone really following me?"
"Why?"
Soon, Li Hao thought of a possibility. The case he and Wang Jie reported...may have...been leaked!
"There is a mole in the Inspection Department!"
"Probably in the law enforcement team!"
This was Li Hao's first thought, and he couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart. Although the other party might be a coincidence and really just turned around, Li Hao didn't dare to regard it as a coincidence.
Any coincidence should be treated as prepared.
"The head of the royal family went to the law enforcement team and told them about the self-immolation case. If someone on the law enforcement team knew that I was the one who proposed overturning the case, they might target me! If the law enforcement team has any questions, they can ask me directly. There is no need to follow me, because
Apparently I was paying extra attention just because of my classmate’s case..."
"Also before, everyone who reported seeing a red shadow would be discovered soon... In fact, I have long thought that the Inspection Department has a hidden clue of a red shadow or a night watchman!"
Li Hao had read the case files and found that those who reported seeing the red shadow soon died or disappeared.
Of course, it is actually difficult to find unless you pay special attention to it.
When many patrol inspectors receive such cases, they just deal with it perfunctorily, record it casually, and don't even make a follow-up visit, because it is some nonsense.
But unfortunately, someone just paid attention.
What does this mean?
It shows that someone in the inspection department must pay special attention to this. Whenever someone reports a crime, it will soon reach the ears of another group of people.
"Am I being targeted now?"
"Is it because I raised the self-immolation case, and these people want to confirm whether I saw the red shadow or discovered it accidentally?"
"When Xiao Yuan died last year, I didn't dare to say that I saw the red shadow. If these people knew about it, they would most likely think that I discovered it by accident, not because I could see the red shadow. Otherwise, I should have seen it last year.
Reported!"
In just a short moment, Li Hao thought a lot and analyzed a lot.
After all, he was now a third-level inspector, or the inspector who had just discovered a problem with the self-immolation case. Li Hao guessed that even if someone colluded with Hong Ying, they would not deal with him and kill him at this time, but would instead commit self-immolation.
If there are problems with the case, it may even cause greater trouble.
“It’s getting more and more interesting!”
Li Hao snorted coldly in his heart, but his face remained expressionless, as if he didn't notice anything unusual and continued riding.
And the car he was eyeing quickly disappeared.
…
Silver 7219.
In the car that had just been driving towards Li Hao, in addition to a middle-aged male driver, there was also an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman in the passenger seat.
Just like an ordinary middle-aged couple, there is nothing special about them.
"Nothing found."
After driving away from Li Hao, there was silence in the car for a while, and the woman whispered something.
The driver seemed not to hear it.
After a while, the driver said in a calm tone: "It should be just an accident. He should have been paying attention because of Zhang Yuan's death. Zhang Yuan and he are good friends."
The woman nodded slightly.
Silence returned in the car again.
After a while, the driver suddenly said: "I don't rule out other possibilities. Just keep watching, just from a distance. Be careful lately. Those annoying guys may be coming to Yincheng."
"clear!"
The woman nodded again. She knew who the driver was talking about. Those guys were indeed annoying.
Chapter completed!
