Chapter 224 The surface is peaceful
"Is this an order?" Ling Chong asked cautiously.
"You can think of it as a commission." Zhou Yuqing replied.
"So I don't have to accept it." Ling Chong simply stated.
"Yes, you are responsible for the consequences of your rejection." There was a faint threat in Zhou Yuqing's calm words.
"Understood, we will consider it carefully." Ling Chong did not express his position immediately, "By the way, where did these terrorists come from?"
"You haven't found it yet?"
"The three of us are now private detectives with no channels. It would be difficult for us to investigate organized and premeditated terrorists." Ling Chong cried.
"I thought the military would give you some convenience." Zhou Yuqing did not shy away.
"My old best friend is very stingy when it comes to business matters." Ling Chong smiled half-seriously, "She won't invest too many resources in me until she knows how much value can be squeezed out of me. In the end, we are just talking to each other.
Exploiting relationships.”
"So you see it very clearly." Zhou Yuqing seemed relieved, "It's understandable that you want to break free from my hands. I know that I am not playing a positive role, but I advise you to find a collaborator.
It's better to be more cautious. The military has always used any means to protect itself over the years, and your life working for the military may be even worse than what you have now."
"If I had made up my mind earlier, at least I would have kept it secret." Ling Chong said with a smile.
"Well, the choice is up to you." Zhou Yuqing sighed as if he had given up, "give me an answer in three days, of course, the premise is that the ninth district can still survive in these three days."
Then Zhou Yuqing hung up the contact neatly, completely ignoring Aaron who had other plans in mind and Lan Tian who was anxious.
"Hmph, you sound like something will happen within three days." Ling Chong hummed on the channel, "You two also guessed that she would come out to mess with you, and you just said those words?"
"The most likely man behind the terrorists is the Dream Maker. The organization cares so much about the Dream Maker, it would be strange if they didn't step in to intervene." Aaron quickly borrowed Poxia Donkey to help him find a way out.
"Well, maybe after a few more years of training you can really become a famous detective." Ling Chong smiled appreciatively, "So, Mr. Detective, what do you think we should choose?"
"Uncle Ling, please stop making fun of me." Aaron said, making his face turn red. "To be honest, I don't really want to make friends with either of them, and I don't think they will hang themselves on our rope.
How could both sides push us out as a cover-up and secretly send elite personnel to go down the mountain to pick peaches? Then it will be our turn to make a choice?"
"You finally understand the true meaning of violent organizations." Aaron's analysis convinced Ling Chong, "I also think we should not take sides first, just wait for the price when we have the chips in hand, and we can sit back and watch if we miss.
Tiger fight."
"If we fail, Boss Yu will be in trouble." Aaron sighed softly.
"He is from the Ninth District and has the ability to take care of his brothers. We are no longer the police and have no obligation to meddle in other people's business." Ling Chong, however, behaved indifferently.
"Uncle Ling, you are still a policeman in theory, right?" Aaron was secretly surprised at Ling Chong's change. In his impression, Ling Chong did not seem like someone who would say such things.
"I will retire in three months." Ling Chong immediately mentioned his retirement, "I have devoted more than ten years to the safety of this city, and I can't end up involving myself for her."
"..." Aaron remained silent, his intuition telling him that Ling Chong was lying, but this was a lie that could not be exposed.
"Let's wait and think about how this thing will end until it happens. The problem at hand is how to catch the person, preferably in our hands." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Ling Chong changed the topic.
"Yeah, first look at what's in front of you." Aaron agreed, "Where did we talk just now?"
"You said you thought the two leaders in the camp were not simple." Lan Tian, who had been obedient attentively, remembered clearly, and also took note of Aaron's slip of the tongue.
"Yes, yes." Aaron then regained his train of thought, "Anyway, I feel like today's matter is a set-up. The two of them are cooperating with each other to play me."
"So you're going to stand still?" Now that we know it's a trap, there's no reason to jump into it.
"We are not moving here. We still need to move on No. 12 Street. Otherwise, how can we complete this bet with Kong Yuzhang?" Aaron continued, "I plan to ask Boss Yu to send a few people to monitor. If Lei Bao is found,
It is true that he acted without authorization, so I will go back with the news and explain to Kong Yuzhang that the things delivered to me should not be used for nothing."
"That's fine, then we won't get involved in this matter for the time being." Ling Chong said, knowing that Aaron didn't intend to expose himself and Lan Tian yet.
"Lan Tian should pay attention to the movements of the security team. If Lei Bao wants to mobilize manpower, there will always be some clues in the communication network of the security team." Aaron warned again.
"This is easy to handle. We have to keep monitoring anyway." Lan Tian agreed.
After the discussion, the three of them continued their own actions. Aaron and Kong Wei joined together and wanted to continue the review of the police force, but Lei Bao refused on the grounds of shortage of manpower. Aaron, who was extremely bored, revealed what happened this morning to
Kong Wei, who heard the news from Aaron, couldn't help but complain that his uncle didn't tell him such a big thing, and then he started to feel sorry for himself full of negative energy.
Nothing happened the whole morning. Around noon, the informant child came to the camp with his mother. It seemed that he had completely abandoned his authority-hating father alone on 12th Street. After receiving the news, Ah
Long did not go to check in person but sent Ling Chong to monitor the scene from a distance. After all, the "accidental encounter" in the morning was the limit that luck could explain. If Aaron "coincidentally" appeared at the "appropriate place" again in a short period of time,
”, the other party will inevitably suspect that he has used a certain method.
What followed was another mind-numbingly boring afternoon. The large influx of forced immigrants cluttered the overburdened communications system of the police force, leaving Lan Tian who was monitoring the system exhausted but unable to extract any valuable information.
.On the other hand, due to the shortage of manpower in the camp, Ling Chong was entrusted with several tasks and immediately showed his impressive work ability. After all, for a veteran policeman who has been working for more than ten years, the task of reviewing and registering immigrants was originally
Even if it's his old profession.
"Thank you for your hard work, brother. Where did they recruit such a capable person like you?" By the time the work was over, it was already dark. Although there were still a large number of people waiting to be registered outside the camp, the camp decided to stop the review and wait for safety reasons.
Tomorrow, prosecutors will finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief after a busy day.
"I just came here and I don't even have a position, so how can I be considered a capable person?" Ling Chong said politely.
"Hey, which of us are new here? Except for those guys from the security team who are sneaking around and forming gangs, we are all the same." The person in charge of the review sighed and sat opposite Ling Chong, "Anyway, we were kicked in from outside, and we are still doing this here.
What you do outside is too boring. I think you are so capable, brother, so you might as well just stay here with me."
"Brother, it's not that I look down on people, but do you mean what you say? Don't let me rejoice in vain." Ling Chong had other motives for working hard to show off his abilities, but when the other party took the bait, he started acting again.
"Of course it counts. As long as you are willing to come to my place tomorrow, brother, we can discuss the treatment. It's rare to find someone as hard-working and capable as you, so we can't just let him go." Responsible.
People immediately took over everything. All the organizations in this camp were newly formed and very loose. Most of the time, the person in charge really had the final say.
"That's great, I'm worried about not being able to find a job." Ling Chong agreed with a smile. Checking the entrance is the most suitable position to secretly confirm whether there are any suspicious persons coming in and out of the camp.
"Open the door quickly and let us out." The two were chatting when they suddenly heard several people shouting loudly outside.
"Are you still going on patrol at this late hour?" The sentry on the guard post at the gate stuck his head out and greeted the patrol team shouting from inside the door.
"Hey, it's not the captain's idea." The patrol member complained grumblingly, "There are too many unchecked people outside. Let us work a few more shifts tonight to prevent the chaos outside from spreading inside."
