Chapter 53 Reason
A petite female nurse walked up the stairs briskly, carrying the oral and external medications to be given to the patients today. As soon as she turned the corner, she saw two policemen sleeping soundly against the wall.
The nurse chuckled. Every time she came, she saw these policemen guarding as if they would never get tired. It was rare for them to take a nap, which made the young girl feel very close to them.
She knew that it was very hard for these policemen to guard here all day, so she was kind enough to let them sleep a little longer, so she didn't wake them up and directly reached out to push the door of the ward. As soon as her fingers touched the handle, the nurse suddenly felt something was wrong. It would be fine if one person fell asleep, but how come both of them fell asleep? How come people who usually don't even yawn neglected their duties today?
As the nurse thought about it, her body began to tremble slightly, and even the things on the tray in her hands made a clanking sound. She quickly grabbed the tray, turned around and walked away quickly, and even ran to the back.
…
The police arrived soon. All the entrances and exits of the hospital were blocked. Ouyang Rui led a team to the fifth floor. With a signal from him, the team members quickly dispersed and stood at different shooting points in the corridor. Two armed police went over to drag the sleeping police away. Ouyang Rui and Jiang Quan stood on both sides of the door with guns in their hands. Ouyang Rui put his left hand on the door handle, looked at Jiang Quan, nodded, and suddenly opened the door. The two rushed in at the same time and pointed their guns inside.
Apart from Parasa Brute on the bed and the policeman sleeping on the floor, there was no one else in the room.
The two searched the entire ward again, including behind the door, under the bed and in the bathroom, but found nothing. Jiang Quan went forward to check and found that the policeman was fine and was just sleeping soundly. But Parasa Brute, who was lying on the bed, was not so lucky.
The white quilt covered his entire body, and the upper part was stained red with blood. A bloody scalpel was stuck straight on it. After Jiang Quan and others took the photos, they put on gloves and pulled out the scalpel, gently lifted the quilt, and the black man's eyes were wide open. There was no fear in his eyes, only confusion and bewilderment. The aorta in his neck was cut, and blood was flowing everywhere.
Jiang Quan stepped back a few steps to let the forensic doctor come forward to check. He saw Ouyang Rui touching the pillow with his fingers, as if thinking about something, so he walked over and asked, "Boss, what did you find?"
"This bed is very wet... Not only is there blood, the murderer also poured water on it before killing him." Ouyang Rui ordered his subordinates without even turning his head, "Xiao Zhao, go pour a basin of water on Dongzi and the others and try."
Most people who are drugged will not wake up even if they are splashed with water. They will not wake up even if they drown in water before the drug wears off. But the good thing about Zhao Meng is that she does not ask why even if the order is unreasonable. She will immediately respond with "Yes!" and then execute it immediately.
Jiang Quan said: "I have never heard of any drug that can wake you up immediately after pouring water on it."
"But the murderer did this. If it wasn't to get a confession, what else could it be?" Ouyang Rui asked back, then looked at the dead man's face, frowned and asked: "Why is his eyes so strange?"
"Maybe he used hallucinogens or truth serums." Jiang Quan said, "There are no other external injuries on the deceased. If the murderer wants to get a confession, he must have used drugs ."
"That's right." After the forensic doctor Cheng Xuguang finished the examination, he stood up and said, "From the condition of the muscles, this person was not conscious when he was killed, and he didn't realize that the other party wanted to kill him. And the murderer's precision was terrifying."
"What do you mean?" Ouyang Rui asked.
"You see, he stabbed through the quilt to prevent the dead man's blood from splashing on himself." Cheng Xuguang covered Parasa Brut with the quilt again, and only the rough outline of the body could be seen. Cheng Xuguang moved his fingers and saw a small puncture hole in the quilt. He said, "If it were you, it would be easy to cut his neck with a scalpel through the quilt, and it would be no problem to cut the artery, but can you accurately pierce the aorta without damaging the veins and omohyoid muscles that are only a few millimeters away?"
Ouyang Rui was silent for a while, then turned to look at Jiang Quan and said, "This technique reminds me of someone."
Jiang Quan smiled bitterly, "If it was the murderer who assassinated Wang Chunshan," he looked at his colleagues who were busy collecting fingerprints and evidence, and said, "I'm afraid Crow won't leave any evidence for us."
"That's not necessarily true." Ouyang Rui was very patient. "There is always a loophole. If you do it too many times, he will reveal his true colors eventually."
…
"A billion-dollar wanted warrant?"
Jin Yang widened his eyes, puzzled by the term he heard.
Today was so exciting - speeding, racing, having one's head pointed at by a robber, being knocked unconscious, being kidnapped, waking up in a small warehouse somewhere, and the trusted friend and respected teacher suddenly turned into a mysterious bodyguard working undercover beside him. When Jin Yang heard such a cool term, he felt like his brain was a mess.
"I... I'm worth 1 billion?" This was Jin Yang's first reaction. It was possible to say that he was her cousin, after all, the total assets of her uncle's family were worth tens of billions. When did he become so valuable?
"You're not the only one."
The man who used the pseudonym "Alan Neil" and whose real name was Zhou Yunze said that he thought that given Jin Yang's current situation, it was no longer necessary to hide the truth from him. On the contrary, it might bring unnecessary danger due to not understanding the situation. So he selectively told Jin Yang part of the truth.
"This story started two years ago. Two years ago, after a long period of undercover investigation and evidence collection, City A and City B joined forces with five coastal provinces to launch a large-scale anti-drug operation. The public security, transportation, forestry, customs, and aviation departments cooperated in a lightning raid. In less than a month, more than 100 drug manufacturing and trafficking gangs were eliminated, more than one ton of drugs and nearly 100 tons of drug-making chemicals were seized, more than 3,000 drug crime suspects were arrested, and many major cases were solved."
Two years later, Zhou Yunze still couldn't stop the excitement and pride in his tone when talking about this incident. It was obvious that he was also a direct participant in this incident.
"At that time, some members of the criminal gang resisted with weapons and were shot dead by the police. Among them was a foreigner who the police found had entered the country illegally and used forged documents. They did not find out his true identity and only thought he was a foreign drug dealer. At that time, there were too many things to do, so the task of tracking down his identity was temporarily postponed. Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be the only son of the drug lord Mura of country l."
Jin Yang was listening intently, and interrupted to ask, "So, is he taking revenge now? Was that man shot dead by my father?"
But Zhou Yunze shook his head and said, "I don't know. Mura has been searching for the identity of the policeman who killed his only son for two years, but he has never found him. The operation team did a good job of keeping it secret. Even within the police, there are probably no more than five people who know the identity of that person."
"Later, Mura became even crazier. He believed that it was not a certain policeman who killed his son, but the police and government of country Z. So he issued a wanted order for a hundred people on a list. Anyone who killed one of these hundred people and provided evidence of the killing could receive a reward of one million US dollars from him. There was no time limit and he would never regret it."
Jin Yang asked: "Am I on that list of 100 people?"
"Yes, and Wei Mengying, whom you know, is also on the list. The 100 people he listed on the list are not important officials in the government departments and public security of the five provinces, but the children of these people, and they are either their only children or the most promising ones in the family." Zhou Yunze said: "Most of these children are ordinary people, and their security is very average. Most of them don't even have security forces at all. It's easy to take action. But what makes people afraid is not the difficulty of taking action, but the counterattack from Country Z that they will face later. In addition, Country Z also quickly got the news from the black market, strengthened its protection and issued a warning. So although Mura has a good reputation and many people are tempted by this list, no one really takes it."
"Just in case, I was sent to protect you at that time. As for the other ninety-nine people, there were also people protecting them secretly. In order to avoid causing panic, only a few people knew the inside story."
Jin Yang recalled that Zhou Yunze had always been around him, whether at school or at home, since he came as a foreign teacher and the son of his father's old friend. Even when Jin Yang went out, "Alan Neil" would act as a driver to take him out, claiming that he "knew City A". Except for the time when he was injured and hospitalized, he was always around Jin Yang. This was also the case after he arrived in City B.
Zhou Yunze continued, "But afterwards, Mura quickly raised the bounty from one million dollars to ten million, a total of several billion, so it was called the 'Billion Dollar Hunting Order'. He also promised that if the person could be handed over to him alive, the bounty would be doubled. People who are interested in doing this task do not need to accept orders on the black market, as long as they can provide evidence of the murder or hand over the person, they can directly receive the bounty. The current situation is that after that, at least a dozen foreign criminal forces have infiltrated Country Z, and even some local forces in the country are ready to make a move."
"During this period, the police have strengthened the screening and monitoring of foreigners, and secretly added special police to protect the 100 people on the list. However, ordinary police have little advantage over professional criminals. The total number of deaths and missing persons in various provinces and cities on the list has reached 34, and only City B has no casualties. After all, this is the city with the best public security and the strongest judicial power in the entire country Z, so the higher-ups found an excuse to gather you all in City B. I didn't expect that it was in this place that I put you in danger." Zhou Yunze said self-reproachfully. If he hadn't relaxed his vigilance these days and didn't get off the car rashly, the other party wouldn't have succeeded so easily. After all, their car had been modified with strong bulletproof performance, and there were weapons hidden in the car.
"It's not your fault," Jin Yang consoled him. He really thought so. Zhou Yunze had done his best to protect him. He could tell how hard he had worked by thinking back to his past behavior. How could he blame him? Throughout the whole incident, he didn't feel that there was anything he needed to blame Zhou Yunze, his father, or the police.
"They are the ones who made the mistake. There is no need to punish yourself for the mistakes made by others." Jin Yang said, and then asked: "What does the drug lord want by capturing us alive?"
Zhou Yunze shook his head and said, "Maybe he wants to take revenge himself, or he may want to exchange the policeman who killed his son with the police of Country Z."
This sentence is terrifying when you think about it carefully.
Whether in terms of importance or numbers, a group of second- and third-generation officials are much more important than an ordinary policeman. But Jin Yang and Zhou Yunze both know that the police of country Z will try every means to rescue them, but they will never exchange them.
Never bow to any criminal force - this is the principle that most violent agencies that maintain national order must follow. Otherwise, once it starts, there will be endless troubles.
Even if the exchange takes place, and the other party tells the public about it, it will have an incalculable adverse impact on the entire social order and the government's credibility. At that time, anyone who makes such a decision will have to pay the price, even if he is the person sitting in the highest position.
Therefore, even if it means sacrificing these one hundred children, even if their parents will be heartbroken, the Z government will not make a deal - so no matter whether Mura wants to make a deal or not, even if he wants to, the final fate of Jin Yang and others will fall into the first possibility, that is, being tortured to death by the other party using all means.
Maybe by then, "death" would be a better choice.
…
Rong Yuan naturally thought of everything that Jin Yang thought of.
He was standing in an abandoned factory building, and in front of him, a huge object was taking shape in the white light.
