Stargate: Lords of Time

Six pm.

It's time for the inspection department to get off work. Li Hao is not a front-line law enforcement officer, so naturally he gets off work on time.

On weekdays, Li Hao had already left.

But today, Li Hao was in no hurry to leave.

Office of the Chief.

Wang Jie glanced at Li Hao, and said in a deep voice, "You said you want to visit Zhang Yuan's house?"

"yes."

"You and him are classmates. Now the case may be a murder case. It is not impossible for you to investigate, but... the personnel in the confidential room apply for a firearm to take home, which is a bit troublesome."

Yes, Li Hao came to apply for firearms.

Wang Jie must give his approval before he can bring the gun home.

Even though the red shadow was weird, the gun might not be useful, but the red shadow might not be able to come out now. In this case, Li Hao should be more careful about people instead.

If it is a person, then the firearm has a great lethality.

"Director, it's not for taking home, it's for handling cases!"

Li Hao corrected it.

Wang Jie smiled, taking it home and using it for handling cases are two different concepts. This kid is worthy of being a student of Yincheng Ancient Academy, and his nature has been changed in one sentence.

"Our confidential room is not the law enforcement team."

Wang Jie shook his head, Li Hao was a little disappointed.

He hasn't thought of a good way to deal with Hongying yet, because he doesn't know much, but if he holds a gun in his hand, it will increase his sense of security.

"The case of Zhang Yuan has only been communicated with the law enforcement team, and the case has not been officially registered. You can't apply for a gun according to this."

As he spoke, Wang Jie thought about it, and quickly said: "Well, there will be a foreign inspection at the Yincheng Ancient Courtyard soon, and the inspection department will send some people to carry out protection work. You fill out the form and apply Participate, so that you have a task on your body, as a protection officer, you are qualified to carry a gun."

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and soon felt helpless.

Going round and round, is the task of co-authoring still hanging on your head?

In the morning, Chen Na mentioned this matter, but Li Hao refused.

On the Yincheng ancient courtyard, I heard that my mentor is leading the team this time. So, if I take this task, I will see my teacher again soon?

Seeing his silence, Wang Jie sighed and said, "What's the matter? Afraid of being beaten by Mr. Yuan? I heard that when you dropped out of school, you had a bad fight with Mr. Yuan. Xiao Hao, since you have entered the inspection department, I It seems that you should find an opportunity to improve the relationship, after all, it is your teacher."

"If Mr. Yuan helps you, your future in the inspection department will be brighter, but if everyone knows that Mr. Yuan doesn't want to see you, even though Mr. Yuan can't control the inspection department, other people have to consider whether it is necessary For your third-level inspection, I will have trouble with Mr. Yuan."

Wang Jie also took great pains. He didn't know the specifics, but he heard that Li Hao had dropped out of school and had an unpleasant quarrel with his tutor.

The other party has no way to participate in the promotion and promotion of the inspection department, but the Yincheng inspection department has to sell some face.

"You want to be equipped with a gun. This is the best way. It can also ease the relationship with your teacher. It kills two birds with one stone..."

He was about to persuade him a few more words, because he was very optimistic about Li Hao.

Before a few words of persuasion, Li Hao nodded and said, "Okay!"

When I reached my mouth, it suddenly got stuck in my throat!

Wang Jie glanced at Li Hao strangely. Didn't he say that although this kid is kind, he has a bit of a personality?

How did you promise so happily today?

Li Hao showed an honest and helpless smile on his face: "Director, what is said outside may not be true. My relationship with the teacher is not that exaggerated. When I dropped out of school, the teacher was not very satisfied, but it has been a year I've been relieved a long time ago, and I was urged to do a good job in the inspection department a few days ago."

"That's good, that's good!"

Wang Jie nodded, expressing his satisfaction. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Li Hao was still honest, so it shouldn't be too false.

"Then you fill out the form. In a few days, you will have to go to the field to accompany the law enforcement team to protect the inspection team of Yincheng Ancient Courtyard."

Li Hao took the form and glanced at it. The travel date of the expedition team from the ancient courtyard was set at the end of the month.

However, the specific destination was not written, and only the entourage was left on standby.

This is also to prevent news from leaking out. The ancient courtyard has a lofty status and naturally has its value. The inspection team of the ancient courtyard is still led by its own teacher. The task this time may not be too simple.

I don't know if it will conflict with Hongying's affairs.

When the teacher travels, there is a high probability that there will be night watchmen following him. If Hong Ying activates it at that time, it may be a good thing.

Thoughts flickered, and soon, Li Hao filled out the form.

"Go to the equipment warehouse to get the equipment!"

Wang Jie put away the form.

Li Hao didn't go out. He hesitated for a moment, but cautiously probed: "Director, Zhang Yuan's case is a little... a bit weird. Do you think it will involve some unusual forces? Our inspection department can really Solve it?"

"Um?"

Wang Jie quickly looked at Li Hao, his eyes moved slightly, and he frowned and said, "What did you hear?"

"No, no."

Li Hao was a little embarrassed, as if he couldn't hold it anymore, he said dryly: "I'm worried about the law enforcement team... surreptitious, or some accident, I heard... our inspection department... seems to have another mechanism?"

"alright!"

Wang Jie frowned and said: "Speak carefully! I know you may have heard some rumors, but this is not something we should discuss! And there is another point, don't think about it, to be honest, it will be even more troublesome if you really want to reach that point ! There are people over there, which time is not a lot of trouble!"

He didn't want to say much, and he didn't want to talk about the night watchman.

The arrival of these people is not a good thing.

Once the night watchman is involved, it will be very troublesome, and the arrival of the other party will often bring some big troubles.

So unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to have anything to do with the night watchman.

On the law enforcement team, I'm afraid they are not too willing to get involved.

Of course, when the time comes when there is no other way, the night watchman will naturally appear. At that time, it is not whether the inspection department wants the other party to appear.

Li Hao nodded, and finally reminded: "Director, I have observed the time when the self-immolation case occurred, every time it was a rainy day, Yincheng will soon enter the rainy season again, and it is almost a year since the last case According to the past time points, I suspect that if it is a man-made murder, it may have happened recently!"

Wang Jie took this matter seriously.

He just took over the case and hasn't learned about it in detail yet, so naturally he doesn't know as much as Li Hao.

Hearing this, Wang Jie was silent for a while, then nodded: "I will tell the law enforcement team, you should be more careful yourself, when you go to check Zhang Yuan's house, be more careful, do you need to deploy manpower to help?"

"Need not!"

Li Hao shook his head, it's not that he wants to die, but when he meets a red shadow, most people can't see it, so it's useless.

If you can't meet Hong Ying, you can bring your own gun and make some other arrangements, then the problem won't be too big.

What's more, in the confidential room, most of them are civilians. If they are in trouble, who will protect whom is still a problem.

"Then be careful yourself. Although the person died for a year, I don't think there is any danger."

Wang Jie waved his hand and sent Li Hao away.

...

Li Hao quickly walked out of the office, heaving a sigh of relief.

Wang Jie is still very caring.

Stepping towards the equipment warehouse, holding Wang Jie's approval document, Li Hao soon received a dark black pistol, full of metallic texture.

The Vortex III has an effective range of 50 meters, and there is no accuracy beyond 50 meters.

It is said that some big cities have started to promote the fourth generation of vortex, and the effective range can reach 100 meters. Of course, Yincheng is not too big, and it has not been popularized yet. Now, including the first-line law enforcement team, it is also using the third generation of vortex.

18 rounds of bullets are distributed, 6 rounds are loaded each time, and can be fired in bursts, which is quite a deterrent weapon.

Before Li Hao entered the inspection department, although he entered the confidential room, he also had temporary training for a month. Shooting was also part of the training content, so he wouldn't be able to use it if he got it.

It's just that I usually stay in the confidential room and haven't used it for a long time.

With a weapon on his body, Li Hao became more confident.

I just don't know if it can hurt Hongying, that thing can't be seen by others, but I can see it. If I shoot at the opponent, will it have any effect?

"Looking at what the head of the royal family thinks, the current law enforcement team may not be willing to notify the night watchman to intervene. But time is running out. If the night watchman doesn't intervene, can they deal with Hongying?"

"If I say now that I can see the red shadow..."

This thought flickered in Li Hao's mind.

But he couldn't help thinking of the previous file, some of the guys who could see the red shadow finally disappeared.

Dead, or what?

Seeing Hong Ying, the night watchman might have intervened in such a case, but in the end, all those people disappeared or died.

Li Hao didn't know whether these people died or were absorbed into the night watchmen.

Such uncertainty made Li Hao struggle.

If the night watchman can solve Hong Ying and is willing to solve it, then what he has exposed is still worthwhile. I am afraid... Is there any collusion between the night watchman and Hong Ying?

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. Are the two sides together, or are they hostile?"

Li Hao can't judge, he lacks the channel to understand these messages.

If the two sides were in the same group in the end, those who found Hong Ying would be killed and silenced. This is the result that Li Hao is most worried about.

Headache!

At this moment, Li Hao was very tangled.

He longed for the night watchman to take action against Hong Ying, to avenge Zhang Yuan and his parents, but he was worried that he would go the other way and expose himself instead, and be silenced by the night watchman.

"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 result and attitude of the law enforcement team.

The current self just accidentally discovered the abnormality of the self-immolation case. I believe that as long as the law enforcement team is serious, they will soon find out.

At that time, if the law enforcement team still had smart people, Li Hao felt that the law enforcement team would probably contact the night watchman in advance.

Just now, Li Hao revealed that the self-immolation case is likely to happen in the next few days, just to make the law enforcement team feel the urgency. If the law enforcement team is used to lure the night watchman, then Li Hao can see the red flag without exposure. It's about the shadow.

"Besides, the teacher will lead a team to go out for investigation soon. As a result, night watchmen will show up. No matter whether there are night watchmen in Yincheng, there should be night watchmen rushing over in the next few days."

After going over everything, he was sure that the night watchman would appear with high probability, so Li Hao put down the idea of ​​voluntarily exposing for the time being.

Whether the other party is in the same group may be known soon.

Before the rainy day came, if the night watchman hadn't appeared and didn't take the initiative to talk to me to understand the situation...then I had to find a way to expose myself.

...

Get out of the inspection department.

The scorching sun has set, the sky is a little red, and the sunset glow is emerging.

There are not many passers-by outside, and the weather is sultry. Recently, it was extremely sultry even at eight or nine in the evening, and few people came out.

Li Hao's home is not too far from the inspection department, seven or eight kilometers away.

Taking out his bicycle, Li Hao stepped on the bicycle. This year he has been riding to work.

On the one hand, it is for exercising, and on the other hand, it is also to avoid some dangers.

Where there are many people, it is not easy to detect danger.

After Zhang Yuan's death, Li Hao has been very cautious.

Riding on the bike, Li Hao looked around as if he didn't care, as if he was looking at the road conditions and the scenery, but actually he wanted to see if anyone was following him.

Especially today, it was determined that Hongying's next target was herself.

Li Hao was thinking, how did Hongying position them?

According to Li Hao's judgment, the red shadows will not appear for too long, and they will disappear quickly every time they appear, and the time they stay outside is very short. In this case, how can we accurately locate them?

Does that mean that there are actually still people secretly observing in advance, just waiting for Hong Ying to harvest and kill?

This possibility is not impossible.

Despite his non-professional inspection background, Li Hao still has some basic anti-reconnaissance capabilities.

"I haven't found anything yet. Could it be that Hongying can directly locate us? Is it related to the starry sky sword on my body? Through these inherited treasures, can we be tracked?"

The bicycle was moving slowly, and Li Hao put the third generation of the vortex in the inner pocket of his jacket, and unbuttoned it. It seemed that the wind was blowing, but in fact it was to take the gun and shoot at the fastest speed.

As always, Li Hao didn't find any problems.

But when Li Hao rode a section of downhill road and the moment the bicycle slid down quickly, Li Hao's heart skipped a beat.

On the rapidly sliding bicycle, Li Hao glanced out of the corner of his eye. On the opposite lane, a small black car was driving head-on. It was very ordinary, very ordinary, and seemed no different from the passing vehicles.

"Silver 7219!"

Li Hao was shocked in his heart, no.

He has seen this car just now. Although there are such cars all over the street, and they are just the most basic scooter, nine out of ten cars are like this, but... Li Hao remembers this license plate!

Li Hao, who was able to enter the Yincheng Ancient Academy, naturally has his own merits.

Memory is good, it's almost a must.

If he didn't have any merits, he wouldn't be favored by that old professor Yuan Shuo, and he soon entered Yuan Shuo's eyeliner and became his student.

"It's not right. This car was going in the same direction as me just now. I was riding slowly. This car has already passed me and left by about 7 minutes!"

7 minutes, according to the speed of this car, drive straight ahead, there is a straight road ahead, and there is no suitable parking spot.

If it's for running an errand, giving someone away, it doesn't come back so quickly.

Now the other party drove back and met Li Hao face to face, 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...someone is really following me?"

"Why?"

Soon, Li Hao thought of a possibility. The case he and Wang Jie reported...maybe...was leaked!

"The inspection department has an inner ghost!"

"Probably in the law enforcement team!"

This was Li Hao's first thought, and he couldn't help feeling 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 coincidences should be treated as preparations.

"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 knows that I proposed to reverse the case, they may follow me! If the law enforcement team has any questions, they can ask me directly. There is no need to follow me, because On the surface, I just paid extra attention to the case of my classmate..."

"Before that, everyone who reported that they saw Hongying would be found out soon... In fact, I have long thought that the Inspection Department has a dark clue of Hongying or the night watchman!"

Li Hao read those case files, and the people who reported seeing the red shadow died or disappeared soon.

Of course, if you don't pay special attention, it's actually hard to find out.

When many inspections receive such cases, they are just perfunctory, and they will be recorded casually, and there will be no return visits, because there are some nonsense.

However, someone just noticed it.

What does this mean?

It means that in the inspection department, someone must pay special attention to this point, but if someone reports a crime, it will soon reach the ears of another group of people.

"Am I being targeted now?"

"Is it because I brought up the self-immolation case, and these people want to determine whether I saw the red shadow or discovered it by accident?"

"When Xiaoyuan died last year, I didn't dare to say that I saw Hongying. If these people knew, they would probably think that I discovered it by accident, not because I could see Hongying. Otherwise, I should have seen Hongying last year. Reported!"

In just a short moment, Li Hao thought a lot and analyzed a lot.

He is now a third-level inspector anyway, or the inspector who just found out that there is something wrong with the self-immolation case. Li Hao guessed that even if someone colluded with Hongying, he would not deal with him at this time and kill himself. If there is a problem with the case, it will even cause more trouble.

"It's getting more and more interesting!"

Li Hao snorted coldly in his heart, and his face still didn't show the slightest sign, as if he didn't find anything unusual, and continued to ride.

And the car that he was eyeing disappeared quickly.

...

Silver 7219.

In the small car that was driving towards Li Hao just now, besides a middle-aged male driver, there was also an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman on the co-pilot.

Like an ordinary middle-aged couple, there is nothing special about it.

"Nothing found."

After driving away from Li Hao, the car was silent for a while, and the woman whispered something.

The driver of the car didn't seem 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 him are good friends."

The woman nodded slightly.

There was silence in the car again.

After a while, the driver suddenly said: "I don't rule out other possibilities, just keep watching, just keep watching from a distance. Be careful recently, those annoying guys may be coming to Yincheng."

"clear!"

The woman nodded again, she knew who the driver was talking about, those guys were really annoying.

There was complete silence in the car.
