The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

Chapter 52 New Case: Investigating a Suspicious Cult

The sun stood quietly on a hillside not far away in the wilderness, staring grimly at the horrifying scene below.

On the open plain, a group of crazy cultists were shouting shrilly.

Their faces were distorted and their eyes flashed with fanaticism and ignorance.

Five innocent people were tied up with thick ropes, fear and despair written all over their faces.

They struggled in vain, crying out miserably, begging for a little mercy, but the only responses they got were the cultists' wild laughter and curses.

Sun watched helplessly as those cruel cultists mercilessly lifted up the five men and pushed them step by step towards the blazing fire.

The flames leaped like the fangs of a demon, greedily waiting to devour lives. When the five people were mercilessly pushed into the fire, screams resounded through the sky. Thick smoke rose up, covering the tragic scene, but the sun's eyes clearly imprinted this indelible sin.

At this moment, a flattering cultist came running over attentively with a glass of wine in his hand.

He said, "Sir, this is the fine wine we prepared for you. Please drink with us on this beautiful day."

Taiyang took the glass expressionlessly, and the man looked at him expectantly.

However, the sun simply poured out the glass of wine.

The bright red wine soaked the ground like blood.

In the newspaper office, an anxious reporter rushed in. "In the West District, there is a secret cult organization that claims to have the power of God!" he said anxiously.

The reporter Xiao Li who was in charge of reception quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, explain the details to me slowly."

The reporter took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "That day I passed by a remote alley in the West District and heard strange noises coming from inside. It sounded like some mysterious ceremony was being performed. I took a closer look out of curiosity and saw a group of people gathered together, chanting something, saying that God would give them power to transcend the world."

Xiao Li quickly took notes while listening, and then asked, "Did you see anything else special?"

"I didn't dare to stay there for long, for fear of being discovered by them, but those people's eyes were full of fanaticism and obsession, it was really scary!" The reporter's voice couldn't help but tremble.

Xiao Li comforted the reporter, and after he left, he immediately called Zhao Hongzhi.

"Captain Zhao, we just received a report that there might be cult activities in the West District." Xiao Li's tone was solemn.

Zhao Hongzhi on the other end of the phone said in a serious voice: "Tell me the details of the situation."

Xiao Li relayed the reporter's statement verbatim to Zhao Hongzhi, who was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't make it public yet. I will investigate this matter secretly."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Li felt a little worried, wondering what unknown secrets this mysterious cult organization was hiding.

After Zhao Hongzhi hung up the phone, he sat at his desk with a serious expression and began to think about his next move.

He called his most trusted assistant Xiao Wang and said, "There may be cult activities in the west district. We must act carefully and start with the surrounding residents and investigate secretly."

Xiao Wang nodded: "Understood, Captain Zhao."

The two changed into plain clothes and came to the West District. They first walked into a small grocery store, and Zhao Hongzhi seemed to chat with the owner casually.

"Boss, how's business lately?" Zhao Hongzhi asked with a smile.

The shop owner forced a smile and said, "That's it. We can just make do."

Zhao Hongzhi picked up a bag of potato chips, looked at it and said, "This West District usually seems quite quiet. How is the neighborhood relationship?"

The shop owner casually responded, "It's OK, everyone lives their own life."

Zhao Hongzhi pointed at the sign at the door and said, "Your sign is a bit old, have you ever thought about changing it?"

The shop owner shook his head: "I don't care about those things. As long as I can do business, that's all."

Zhao Hongzhi changed the subject: "I heard that there seems to be a group of mysterious people active around here recently?"

The shop owner's eyes flickered and he said, "No... nothing special."

Zhao Hongzhi keenly noticed the owner's strangeness and continued, "I'm just asking out of curiosity. My friend said he seemed to have seen something strange."

The shop owner hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "I have heard some things, but I dare not say anything more for fear of causing trouble."

Zhao Hongzhi handed the shop owner a cigarette and comforted him, "Don't worry, we are just here to understand the situation and will not cause you any trouble."

The shop owner then slowly opened up: "I heard there is an organization that often meets at the abandoned factory at night. I'm not sure what they do, but it doesn't seem normal."

Zhao Hongzhi and Xiao Wang looked at each other and had a direction in mind.

Zhao Hongzhi and Xiao Wang sat in a dim office with a pile of information about the cult organization in front of them.

"Xiao Wang, we have confirmed that the cult organization is in the old factory in the west district. We need to plan our actions carefully." Zhao Hongzhi frowned and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

Xiao Wang said seriously, "Captain Zhao, I don't think we can rush in rashly. We need to first understand their activity patterns and internal situation."

Zhao Hongzhi nodded. "Yes, I think so too. Let's send people to secretly observe the surrounding area of ​​the factory to see when they have the most personnel and whether there are any special preventive measures."

Xiao Wang then said: "Should we arrange for an undercover agent to infiltrate?"

Zhao Hongzhi thought for a moment and said, "This risk is too great. Let's not rush. Let's first clarify the external situation."

"Okay, Captain Zhao, I'll arrange the personnel right away." Xiao Wang stood up.

Zhao Hongzhi warned: "Be careful not to get discovered."

Xiao Wang responded, "Don't worry, Captain Zhao."

A few days passed, and the police officers in charge of the investigation brought back some information one after another.

Zhao Hongzhi called Xiao Wang to his office again.

"Xiao Wang, tell me the situation."

Xiao Wang opened his notebook and said, "Captain Zhao, after observing for the past few days, I found that this cult organization is more active at night, and there are several secret sentries around the factory."

Zhao Hongzhi frowned, "Secret sentry? This is a bit troublesome."

Xiao Wang said: "But we found that there is a certain pattern in their changing of posts."

"Well, let's take advantage of the shift change and send someone to sneak into the vicinity of the factory to see if we can find other entrances or understand the layout inside," said Zhao Hongzhi.

Xiao Wang nodded, "I'll arrange it right away."

That night, a police officer approached the factory cautiously.

Suddenly, a voice came, "Who's there?"

The police officer's heart tightened, and he quickly hid in the dark...
