Enforcer's Handbook

It took more than an hour to drive from the compound of the law enforcement department to the location given by the other party. This journey spanned almost half of the city. The car drove away from the city until the outline of the high-rise buildings disappeared from their sight. At the end, the loess on both sides of the road became the main theme, and the driver stopped at the roadside.

"Just come here, the town is right in front, you can just walk there."

No matter what, the driver was unwilling to drive any further.

He was picked up from the gate of the law enforcement department's compound. In front of him was the base camp of gang members in District 17. The high intensity of law enforcement forced these criminals to stay away from the city and hide here.

He didn't know the purpose of these four law enforcers coming here. He only knew that he couldn't let those people see that he was the one who sent the law enforcers in.

"OK."

Valian understood the driver's difficulties, so she paid the price and got off without any further entanglement.

A small town occupied by gangs was a perfect place for law enforcement to serve as a team building location. Only the worried Song Lan raised a question, "Does this place look a little unsafe?"

After walking a few steps, they encountered a pickup truck driving into the town.

The pickup truck had been modified. Several people in the truck had their faces covered, and there was a heavy machine gun in the back.

If you think about it with your toes, you can tell that the remaining people in this small town are some extremely vicious people who will draw guns and fight if they disagree with each other. The depressing atmosphere is comparable to that of the old city of the Fourth Neutral Country.

Perhaps for all cities, bringing all the criminals together will eventually lead to the same situation.

Song Lan felt heavy at the moment.

The sky is clear today. It is a good day that has not been seen for a long time. Such a good day should be used to lie on the chair in the office and enjoy life.

"Don't be afraid, they are all paper tigers."

Zhuang Chi whispered, "Although they never leave their guns, in fact they dare not commit any crime recently."

When she went to the information section, she saw the statistical results of the recent cases in the seventeenth district. At this juncture, most of the people who dared to commit crimes were young people whose names she had never heard of. On the contrary, these gang members were all detained in They dare not go out on their respective turfs.

"The fraudster cleverly took advantage of people's fear of gang members and specifically chose the venue for the rally. Those who paid membership fees may be deterred by the appearance of this small town."

Except for Song Lan, the other three people were very interested in this.

They quickly found the location mentioned by the other party on the phone. As expected, he was not here. What greeted them was an old house that no one had lived in for a long time. As soon as they opened the door, a musty smell hit their nostrils. Roger coughed several times. The house was so poor that even the gang members didn't bother to commandeer it.

Several people found a puzzle left by Chen in a rather hidden corner, which will lead them to the next location.

Maybe this would be a brain-burning process for ordinary people, but for someone like Valian who has been in the crime analysis department for several years, these puzzles are too childish. It guided the four people around They circled the town in a large circle, visiting almost all the locations where the gang members were entrenched, before finally leading them to an old office building.

In the days when District 17 was first established, this office building had a glorious history, and being able to work in this building was something worth bragging about. However, with the advent of the gold rush, big families and companies came one after another. Entering the border city, people flocked to the current urban area. There were fewer and fewer people in the small town, and the office buildings were gradually abandoned.

"This place looks like a haunted house at night. It's a good place for a secret gathering."

After Zhuang Chi stared at the building for a while, he gave a professional evaluation of this abandoned building.

There were signs that someone had lived inside, and some simple daily necessities were left in each room, but for some unknown reason, there was no one in the corridor at the moment.

They followed the last clue all the way to the top of the building.

That was the place where the manager of this office building once stayed. He reached the peak of his life because of this place, but was also pushed into the trough by the trend of the times.

The majestic office can vaguely see what it used to be like. There is a sofa at the end of the faded carpet, and there is a man sitting on the sofa.

He seemed to be watching the TV attentively, and a period drama was being played on the TV. It was a favorite show for the elderly people in their sixties and seventies who had retired and had nothing to do. But judging from the man's shiny black hair, he still had It is far from the age to retire and recuperate.

"Mr. Chen?"

Valian, who had contacted him in text messages, took a few steps forward and tentatively called him.

As soon as she took a few steps, she smelled the smell of hairspray. From the clothes on the other person's body, it was easy to tell that he seemed to have dressed up carefully for today's meeting.

For him, maybe this is the day leading to a better future.

The man sitting on the couch didn't respond to them.

Soon, they realized the weirdness of this room - it was too quiet, and only the characters on the TV were chattering away.

After setting up such a complicated puzzle, the other party should have welcomed their arrival with much enthusiasm.

Valian suddenly realized something, and she quickly came to the man.

Even so, the man didn't react at all. He stared at the TV screen intently. He didn't seem to notice the arrival of Valian and others, nor did he seem to be aware of the fact that he was dead.

The cell phone on the coffee table kept flashing.

People kept asking about the Void Sect, and the last one was read an hour ago, when he agreed to the "group purchase" plan and informed the four of them of the meeting place.

"Contact the bureau, the person is dead."

Valian conducted a simple inspection of the body. "There were no external injuries or signs of poisoning. There were no signs of struggle at the scene. This man died very peacefully."

She felt that this body must hide some secrets that they didn't know yet, because even if it was a sudden death, the deceased would often go through a painful struggle before death. Their bodies were often curled up on the ground when they were found. Some people will cover their hearts tightly, and some will scratch their skin due to excessive pain.

But there was no specific corpse. He was still immersed in the TV series, as if he had skipped the painful struggle and reached the result of death directly.

From the perspective of the Crime Analysis Section, all signs at the scene indicate that this person died accidentally.

However, the scammer who was still in contact with them an hour ago and was full of ambitions, hoping to defraud a large amount of money through this topic and put himself on the top of his life, suddenly and silently died in this room.

Chief Snake once said that most coincidences are just that they have not yet understood the connection behind them. Valian has always kept the old chief's teachings in mind.

"Someone must have been here before us, within this hour!"
