National Juggernaut

Chapter 43 Countdown

Qiufeng District is the most important administrative area on the second ring road of Shiqian City. Considering that the headquarters of most departments of the city government are also in this area, it is not wrong to say that it is the most important district of Shiqian City.

Among the various strange buildings on the famous 111 Office Avenue, the dark giant auditorium-like building is also eye-catching.

At this time, in a conference hall in the black auditorium, a meeting that sounds boring, but is actually even more boring, has entered the second half. In other words, the leaders are finally about to finish their guiding opinions. According to the process, everyone involved in the case The person in charge began to report information and was ready to do business.

"I know that you are probably also very upset about the 'beheading demon' case, but in fact, we have not made any progress for more than half a year. With the continuous attention of the society, every new case is laughing at us the incompetence of

On the stage, the Minister of Foreign Affairs who was still wearing the White Rooster Medal was still talking. He was the head of the task force in name, and he was making a concluding speech at this time.

He was eloquent on the top, but few people below were listening seriously, and he didn't care. As a diplomat, he was used to all kinds of self-talk.

It is worth mentioning that there are several versions of the white chicken badge. When Shiqian City was first built, the cartoon chicken was cute, with a vaguely cooked color, and some foreign officials laughed at themselves. In the general environment of the whole world, The weak Shiqian City is really irrelevant, don't take yourself and your so-called dignity too seriously and cause trouble.

There was a time when the pure white vegetable chicken looked like a dove of peace, with an olive branch in its mouth. The diplomats in those days also talked about peace and closed their mouths outside. People who didn’t know it still thought that this was the most kind person in the world. .

war?Don't dare, let's talk about everything, and let's make room for business, anyway, you don't dare to invade our central city.

Was wronged outside, and the interests were damaged?If you can find a brother, you can do it in your early years, but others are not philanthropic, and the exchange of benefits is inevitable. If it is not possible, just hold back and remember.

It is said that those diplomats back then had a small notebook filled with names and events, and they were best at smirking and taking deep breaths.

In the current version, the curved horns of the bird, the sharp pupils, and the provocative eyes are more like war eagles than chickens. I don’t need to say much about the specific behavior style. In foreign affairs work, according to the current The attitude and methods of diplomats are completely different from before due to changes in the general situation and their own strength.

But even now, it is quite absurd for a senior foreign affairs official to be in charge of a criminal case.

reason?That's it for the Altel who sits here.

The deputy ambassador of the Atel Mission, Skipodar, is seeking justice for himself and the seven dead in the embassy.

Just one day ago, on the street outside the embassy, ​​under the watchful eyes of everyone, he stuffed a huge silver rib into the oath box, and set the countdown timer for 30 days.

This kind of secret treasure box with subspace capacity is specially used to keep diplomatic secrets. Only the person who closed it can open the box, and as long as the time set on it comes to an end, the items inside will disappear into the subspace.

"Instead of using it as a useless treasure that is burned by the 'thief', it is better to release it as a bargaining chip. If the time limit is up and we still cannot solve the case, we will not lose much. The sad thing will only be Shiqiancheng. The material of this level of God Anything less is a permanent loss."

Those who can be diplomats are unlikely to be fools. This sudden action is obviously a coup.

Although they didn't say a single word, the relevant departments undoubtedly felt the pressure, which led to the rapid establishment of the "Decapitated Demon Task Force".

Diplomats in command?Heh, it's obviously to appease the deputy ambassador. The real handling of the case still depends on the secret police.

From the meeting till now, the ambassador has sat in his seat without saying a word, and his very existence is putting pressure on him. It stands to reason that he should not be allowed to participate in such internal affairs, but he

"There should be more than one rib of the god. I was born in a well-known Ater family, and my family has many connections."

At that time, it made many people have a killing intent, but the previous oath box worked again. After he died, the god bone in the city would really disappear. This guy had already taken out life insurance for himself.

In diplomacy, the most fearful thing is that one party is controlled by others, while the other party has nothing to ask for.

To make matters worse, Skipodar was a seasoned diplomat who was good at using the conditions at his disposal.

"If the case is successfully solved, I will also fulfill the leader's last wish and sell this material to you."

Whether this is true or not is doubtful, but at least for now, he has managed to get Shi Qiancheng officials to protect him with all their strength.

When he went there, the local security force had to keep up. Many people were disgusted and uncomfortable. He must have applied for the backup force of his family. As long as the large army came, he would be completely safe.

As for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is so rare in this era, whether it has planned to torment the outsiders with boring government affairs, the foreigners don't know, but the participants in other departments are almost unbearable.

The above was still eloquent, and another half hour was wasted. When the Minister of Foreign Affairs finally stopped, let alone the participants below breathed a sigh of relief, even Skipodar from Alte revealed a little relief.

"Fortunately, it is a meat man, there is so much water."

The weird whisper made the people below laugh constantly, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

The officers left the table one by one, and those who were on business stayed behind. After wasting three or four hours and it was almost dark, they could finally get down to business.

As the direct person in charge of this case, Xie Ying turned his head and said to his colleagues.

"Since Wei Chu asked you to come, it means that you will represent the Ninth Division to participate in this case? I thought it would be a more experienced veteran who came. Is this your Ninth Division's statement to give up the leading right of the investigation? Forget it, wait for me Contact your Wei office to confirm the situation."

Is this saying to your face that you are a chicken?Hearing Director Xie's merciless evaluation, Tora Ichisaki, who attended the meeting temporarily, immediately became upset.

But remembering that the other party is Tie Ying, who is well-known in the discipline inspection, and that he has the qualifications to do this job before he was born, and indeed has the qualifications to evaluate himself, Tora Yisaki can only hold his breath, ready to prove his strength with actions.

Then, they exchanged their own information, and copies of various documents, photos and illustrations were distributed to all the participants.

But just looking at it, Tora Yisaki really doubted whether he was qualified to participate in this case. This case is definitely not something that can be settled with fists.

The victims reported last time were not all at all.There are only two returning Iron Man compatriots in the news, that is because these two must be reported, and the real death toll in one day is nine.

Among them, only four of them were completely depleted of psychic energy and met the conditions of the magic blade attack. If the other five hadn't suddenly changed their attacking methods, they would be pure imitators.

In fact, the police judged that there must be imitators among the four, and it may even be all imitators.

After all, the locations of the crimes were too far apart, and it was too late to fly back and forth to commit the crime.

The data also shows that the number of "beheading demons" has increased significantly, with several cases appearing every day, and several have been arrested.

Some are imitators who really worship the Beheader, and some are just taking advantage of the chaos and thinking that since the police can't catch the Beheader, they can't catch him. Even if these guys are basically arrested on the same day, there are more and more followers.

Even the official media was hesitant to broadcast such cases, and criminal investigation experts finally suggested not to broadcast them to avoid more imitators.

"That long-winded uncle is right. If we can't catch the real culprit for a day, our prestige and ability to solve crimes are being questioned. This will shake the security and stability of the entire city."

"Boom."

At this time, the only ministerial official left, Vice Minister Liu of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, tapped the table with his teacup hat, attracting the attention of all the participants.

"Within 20 days, the case must be solved. This is the meaning of the above."

Simple words and a calm tone are indeed enormous pressure, Xie Ying frowned, the time limit for this task is a bit too much.

"Mr. Liu, I'm not personally discounting the terms, but there were no clues in this case before. Now there are so many imitation criminals and imitation cases. The water is completely mixed. There are too many fake fish. It will be very difficult within 20 days. Even if In order to meet the request of that alien race, we can discuss it with him and delay the time, at least for two months."

It was another criminal investigation expert who spoke, and he couldn't accept this military order.

Hearing this, Minister Liu smiled wryly. Doesn't he know how tricky this task is? Didn't he see that other vice ministers didn't come to the meeting?

"It's not that box. Although the contents of that box are indeed very important, the R&D department sends an inquiry letter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day, and their ministers are almost urging us not to leave. Cough, the point is that in 20 days, it will be the year-end Juggernaut Competition. This year is the year of the competition once every three years. According to the usual practice, high-level executives from the outer ring, other nearby big cities, and neutral forces will come here to watch the competition and find good seedlings. Do you think there will be a murder case at this time, or a certain high-level Suddenly losing our heads, can we afford the consequences? Folks, this is no longer a criminal case, but a political incident.”

Well, as long as diplomacy and politics are involved, the situation will become a hundred times more complicated in an instant.

Xie Ying opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

With so many years of work experience, he also knows that when the superior gives an iron order, it is completely useless to justify.

After Minister Liu finished speaking, he recorded the list of members of the special case team, got up and withdrew with the file bag.

What else to say, put your head down and do it, if you can’t do it, share the responsibility with each other.

Those who are still present are all real veterans of criminal investigation. After exchanging information with each other, they will act independently.

Xie Ying was also about to get up and leave, but he sighed helplessly as he watched Tiger Yisaki who was busy arranging the documents.

"This old Wei is cunning enough. He must have heard the wind and let the young man take the blame."

Xie Ying himself doesn't care, he has been deeply involved in it for a long time, even if he has to be held accountable in the end, as the person in charge of the area, he is not a big problem, he can suspend his job for at most half a year and go home to reflect, and it can also be treated as an unpaid vacation.

This is Tiger Yisaki, who was obviously sold and cheated by his superiors, and he probably couldn't find anyone to report to work when he went back, and if he found someone, he would probably say "you can figure it out, just take responsibility for the tasks you take on".

She has no criminal investigation ability and work experience at all, and maybe the time limit is up, and she can't provide any useful information and can't play a role.

If you really get zero eggs, at that time, an evaluation of being unfavorable and incompetent will be the least, which can be called a devastating blow to the future of young people who are just starting out.

The little tiger had already called his immediate boss, but no one answered, he sat in his seat at a loss, and was so wronged that he was about to cry.

After hesitating for a moment, Xie Ying finally said something more.

"The girls of the Hu family are all from the same department. Let's get together and exchange information."

Immediately, Tiger Yisaki was overjoyed, she was not stupid, she knew that it was the old senior who wanted to help her.

After walking out, sure enough, Xie Ying didn't mention any nonsense about information exchange, and went straight to the goal, chatting while walking.

"I entrusted this case to a civilian criminal investigation expert. Heh, although he is young, he is recognized as one of the top ten criminal investigation experts in the city. You can follow him and be a thug, even if it's just to catch more A few imitators won't make your grades zero."

Hu Yisaki nodded all the way, this is meeting a well-meaning nobleman, no wonder I heard that Director Xie's style is obviously super iron-blooded, but the reputation inside the agency is very good.

"He is my junior brother. Although he only has two blades, his personal strength is still good. You don't have to worry about his safety, but you have to be careful about his personality. He is now a civilian. He doesn't need credit or I will compete with you. In this regard, I have great confidence in him. If he can't handle it, I think no one in the city can handle it."

"Yeah, I'll listen to the experts. Is it okay to be a thug?"

Maybe it was because of the disadvantages of these two days, Tora Yisaki's attitude was very obedient, but unfortunately, this obedience only lasted for 10 minutes, until she met that "junior brother".

That man was sitting in a roadside cafe with a bored expression on his face, and there was a bag of his nails on the coffee table!

"Hey, is it the fourth time we met unexpectedly? We are really destined."

"Huh, you guys know each other? That's even better, Zheng Li. Anyway, you're taking care of a rabbit now. It's the same if you take a newcomer, and it's the same with two. During this case, take this little girl with you."

"I'll fight with you! Give me back my nails!"

This kind of roar was on the verge of his mouth, but he still swallowed it down.

On the way here, she secretly recorded the situation and sent it to her old policeman, Uncle Erde. judgment.

Qiao's face was tense, her tail was bristling with anger, but she still took a deep breath to recover.

"This Junior Brother of Director Xie, we all misunderstood before, and we were also unlucky in the competition. If there is something offended, I apologize."

"Ah, did you offend me?"

In an instant, Hu Yixiao knew why Xie Ying's expression was so subtle when he mentioned the character of this junior.

The little face was distorted with anger, she still gritted her teeth, trying to calm down her anger.

"Oh, it's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if it's all a misunderstanding. Let's get along well in the next 20 days."

Seeing the tiger girl's obviously aggrieved and breathless, Xie Ying covered his head, and didn't want to ask any more questions. Anyway, people who knew Zheng Li had been with Zheng Li for a long time, and it became a virtue after many meetings.

"Okay, I know you are very poor, so three months of nails are enough. Heh, even the socks are super cheap for one yuan and ten pairs, and the nail polish smells like paint. It's too miserable. Girls still have to be correct. Get better yourself!"

"My old lady fought with you! I'm not a pauper!"

Finally, the tigress is still a tigress, and she still can't help it, but the result is no different from before.

Sitting in a familiar position, gently stroking the fluffy tail, Zheng Li happily exchanged information with Xie Ying.

However, this damn thirty and twenty double countdown gave him a bit of a headache.

"20 days? In such a big city with such a large flow of people, it's too late even if it can be activated."

"Do your best to live in peace."

Xie Ying is free and easy, and he also knows that the situation is so complicated now, unless the other party makes a mistake on its own initiative, it is unlikely to make any progress in a short time.

But Zheng Li shook his head.

"Heh, this case is obviously politicized. From the very beginning, I didn't believe it was a purely criminal case. Maybe he came here for the dignitaries visiting the contest from the very beginning."

Sure enough, this investigation lasted for 20 days and still found nothing.

On the No.20 day, the first dignitary to be killed appeared.
