Chapter 172 This Should Not Be Done
Every person in this world, as long as he has life activities, will constantly secrete sweat and oil from the skin of his fingers and palms, so that the surface of every object he touches will be imprinted with unique patterns like a seal. Because this pattern is unique to everyone but different, with a repetition rate of only one in 150 trillion, even if time changes and babies become old people, it will not change. Therefore, people call it the "human identity card", also known as - fingerprint.
The heating in the bar was turned up high, and everyone was jumping and having fun, which made them sweat even more. On Jin Yang and Liu Ting's cups, as well as on the surfaces of everyone else's cups, there were fingerprints and palm prints all over. There was also a light lipstick on the girl's cup, making the transparent glass look a little blurry and a little dirty.
However, under sufficient light, the cup used by Rong Yuan was still as crystal clear as before, without any sweat or grease. Only when it was against the light and with the help of certain light and angle could a few very shallow marks be seen on the lower part of the cup. Judging from the position and direction, it was more likely that they were left by the bartender when he pushed the cup over after pouring the water.
It was clearly a half-drunk soda, but they could not get any information about the drinker from it - where were his lips? Where were his hands? How many times did he pick up the cup? They had no idea. They could not find anything from it. The only thing they knew was that the person must have applied glue or something similar on his hands beforehand so that there would be no trace pointing to him.
If he was just an ordinary bar guest, why would he do this?
——However, Jin Yang knew that Rong Yuan was necessary because he himself should not be here at all at this time.
He was impressed by Rong Yuan's meticulous disguise (Jin Yang had never thought that this was actually Rong Yuan's negligence), but at the same time he couldn't help but feel a headache because he had aroused Zhou Yunze's suspicion. He knew that Zhou Yunze's investigation was completely wrong, but he didn't know how to explain it to him.
After Jin Yang figured out the whole thing, he remembered a piece of information Zhou Yunze had revealed before, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Zhou, you said crows, what's going on? I heard that the crows disappeared a long time ago."
"Crow?" Liu Ting repeated curiously. During the time when Crow was active, she had always been a normal high school student who focused on studying. The channel that she learned the most about the outside world was the news on the Sugar Country National Channel. As for Crow, who was once famous on the Internet, she had never even heard of him.
"I'll explain it to you later." Jin Yang said in a low voice.
"I'll talk to you later." Zhou Yunze looked at his watch and said, "It's already this late, send your girlfriend home early and don't stay out too late."
"Then I'll come to you tomorrow." Jin Yang said. He must know what is going on.
Zhou Yunze nodded and said, "Okay. "
In fact, he nodded without even hearing what Jin Yang said. The suspicion of the two men was lifted, but he still had a lot of things to deal with, and he might not be able to rest until tomorrow morning. Therefore, his mind had already turned to other things. When he came to his senses and remembered what Jin Yang said, he immediately regretted that he agreed too quickly, but by then Jin Yang and the other man had already left.
…
"So, that's what happened. The crows are back."
Zhou Yunze spoke mumbled while stuffing a bun into his mouth. He was in such a hurry to eat that he quickly grabbed the cup and took a sip of soy milk. He looked like a sloppy loser. How could he still have the demeanor of the most popular male god teacher in No. 1 Middle School?
Two years ago, Zhou Yunze retired from the special forces. People like him, because they know too many secrets and have strong abilities, can cause immeasurable harm if they go astray. Therefore, even after retirement, they cannot move around freely. They must report to their superiors regularly. If they want to leave the city where they live, they generally have to apply for approval in advance. However, they will be taken care of in all aspects. If they want to continue working in the system after retirement, they will have a lot of options.
Zhou Yunze had a good impression of City A. It would be too awkward for him to work in an office with all his skills, so he chose to stay in the Public Security Bureau of City A. Some people here had worked with him in the past and knew a little about his previous identity, so they were much less constrained. The household registration, work, housing, etc. were quickly solved for him, and he also got a moderately priced car. Zhou Yunze quickly became a member of the middle class in City A and a frequent visitor to Jin Yang's house. He cared about Jin Yang as if he were his own brother, and Jin Yang was no longer shy with him and became much more casual.
But sometimes, this kind of casualness is not a good thing. For example, after being busy for most of the night, he finally takes a nap, but when he wakes up, he sees someone next to him staring at him with burning eyes.
Fortunately, Jin Yang also brought him breakfast.
For the sake of the hot steamed dumplings and soy milk, Zhou Yunze ate while telling Jin Yang the news he wanted to know, the first of which was about the crow.
"Return?" Jin Yang frowned and said, " It seems that there is no news of the arrest of the wanted criminal recently."
Zhou Yunze, who was almost choked to death by drinking soy milk, took a breath and said, "That's right, because the crows now don't catch wanted criminals, they themselves are wanted criminals."
"What do you mean?" Jin Yang asked.
"Literally. The Crows are no longer the same Crows as before." Zhou Yunze said with a serious expression: "We speculate that there may be a power shift within the Crows, and the new generation is full of aggressiveness, replacing the more peaceful old Crows; or the old Crows may have retired or died, and these guys now are just using their names to carry out activities; or - the worst is - the Crows' philosophy has changed."
"The concept... has changed?" Jin Yang thought thoughtfully.
"In recent months, there have been a large number of murders or serious injuries across the country that are suspected to be related to the New Crow. The victims include government officials, celebrities, self-employed individuals, ordinary vendors, taxi drivers, farmers, university professors...all kinds of people. Their occupations, ages, genders, jobs, personalities, hobbies, etc. do not have much in common, and their social circles are basically non-overlapping. After investigation, it was found that their only common feature is that many vicious incidents have occurred around them, and the clues point to our current victims."
Zhou Yunze tapped the table with his fingers and sighed, "Crow, this is fighting violence with violence. The guy from yesterday, Ma Zhigang, is the same. He has unclear connections with the underworld forces of Nuo Country. We suspect that he has been involved in many cases of human trafficking. The police have actually been keeping an eye on him for a long time, but they have never been able to get any evidence. They have been arrested several times and released within two days. Now he has been killed cleanly by Crow."
Jin Yang lowered his head and said nothing. The education he received since childhood made it difficult for him to agree with what the crow did, but as an ordinary person, he had to say that it was a gratifying thing that evil would be punished. It seemed wrong to stand on either side at this moment.
Zhou Yunze looked at his expression and continued, "The Crows used to be powerful, meticulous, and untraceable. But now, except for being more active, the Crows are not as good as they used to be. We have some eyewitness testimonies and videos taken by street cameras, which can prove that the group of people who are now moving around in the name of Crows are all wanted criminals, and the leader is this person - Shi Xingchen. Have you heard of him?"
He took out a wanted poster from a pile of documents. A gentle-looking man smiled at the camera. There was a strong sense of confidence and control in his expression, and the slightly upturned corners of his mouth seemed full of contempt.
Jin Yang looked at this strange face, shook his head, and asked, "What crime did he commit?"
"Intimidation, kidnapping, murder, illegal detention, illegal human experimentation." Zhou Yunze said, "He once put his own patients into a state of suspended animation, and announced to the public that the patients died due to ineffective rescue. He bribed the people at the crematorium to replace the bodies, and then hid the patients in secret laboratories for experiments. He is a dangerous anti-social and anti-human element. With such a person as the leader, can you imagine what the Crow, who is still keen on being an unsung hero ?"
Jin Yang's eyes wavered for a moment, and after a long silence he asked, "He...are all the patients that Shi Xingchen experimented on innocent?"
Zhou Yunze showed a hint of disappointment, and then said, "I want to say yes, but in fact... they are all dregs of society, not worthy of a heavy sentence, but they deserve to die. But even so, do you think it is right to punish them in this way, to let this anti-human doctor punish them, Jin Yang?"
After a long time, Jin Yang shook his head slowly but firmly.
——This is wrong.
People who do wrong should be punished, but not everyone is qualified to do so. Otherwise, what will become of this society and this country?
Everyone should know what they can and cannot do.
Zhou Yunze's eyes lit up instantly.
Although Jin Yang's suspicion was cleared a long time ago, he still felt that if there was only one person in the world who knew the true identity of Crow, that person must be Jin Yang. He learned some information from the side, and although he could not confirm it, he believed that the person who met Jin Yang last night was definitely not just a stranger who had mistaken him for someone else.
In Zhou Yunze's opinion, that person should be the observer of the Crows. He does not directly participate in the action, but he coordinates and observes the actions of others in secret. If an accident occurs, he can always transform into a "backup plan" to provide support. Anyone who can take on such a role must be an important character among the Crows.
…
On the deserted island, waves crashed onto the beach. Rong Yuan sat on a relatively flat rock with his legs bent, holding a small stone in his right hand and supporting his chin with his left hand, as if he had fallen asleep.
The faint and distant singing lingers in my ears, and I seem to be able to hear it, but every time I try to capture it, it always disappears.
Rong Yuan has no plans to exchange for other simpler skills for the time being, but if he cannot get any useful clues from this stone before leaving, he will use Iron Man as the minimum armed standard.
On the sea in the distance, a string of bubbles gurgled out, half of a head emerged from the sea, and a pair of eyes full of resentment stared at Rong Yuan.
