Chapter 354 Chapter 351 You're Dead
The two came under the overpass and hid themselves in the bridge hole. At this time, Zhuang Xuteng took out his phone and dialed Lucy's number.
Saving the PCPD was an unexpected incident, and Zhuang Xuteng had to find a way to avoid getting into trouble. Most middlemen, Lucy included, have an aftercare team to clean up the aftermath. Zhuang Xuteng needed Lucy to send those professionals to get rid of the armored ferret lying in the nest.
"There is also a radio station and some work equipment in the car. I still want these. For the rest, if it's not troublesome, I can take them back. If it doesn't work, I can destroy them all." Zhuang Xuteng listened to the call, then nodded and said: "Yes, I'll pay for it. Please be professional and don't make any mistakes."
Mike Lebedev stood leaning on the wall, taking a deep breath to adjust his mood, and at the same time listened carefully to Zhuang Xuteng's call. He waited for the call to end and asked, "Are you a mercenary?"
"I don't want you to know who I am, that would be very troublesome for you and me." Zhuang Xuteng said to Mike: "The person who wants to kill you knows your positioning signal. It comes from your walkie-talkie and borrows the PCPD's rescue call. System. You may or may not believe this, but I don’t think you can live long anyway.”
Mike frowned, feeling heavy, and nodded slowly. "You are right, the person who came to kill me is very determined. Poor Zog, he is still so young..." Mike sighed and said: "If such a killer comes again, I will have no ability to resist at all. If If I don’t die at his hands, he may go to my house, and more people will suffer.”
"Do you know who wants to kill you?"
Mike shook his head and said: "I am just an ordinary PCPD. All the cases I have solved can stand the test. The evidence, motives, details of the case... uh... I am a little dizzy, I am too stressed."
"Understandable." Zhuang Xuteng nodded. He looked at Mike with some sympathy, knowing very well that he could save him this time, but not the rest of his life. The hunt for Mike was obviously a team effort, which meant there wasn't just one killer in the black suit. After failing to fake a car accident, the killer still dared to continue his actions blatantly, as if he was not afraid of exposure at all. Since they are not afraid, there is no way to scare them away. If they want to survive, they can only rely on their fighting power.
But Mike didn't have that kind of self-protection ability at all.
After some self-adjustment, Mike said: "I am worthy of my job. If the guys I arrested and sent to prison want to retaliate against me, then let them do it! For one life, I will exchange..."
Zhuang Xuteng shook his head. "You just think you have calmed down, but in fact you are still in a bad state. The time you have left is limited. No matter how frustrated or angry you are, you will not waste time on negative emotions. Think carefully about what you are going to do. At least you have more opportunities to explain your affairs than your partner."
After hearing this, Detective Mike really calmed down. He thought about the whole thing carefully, and with his years of experience as a police detective, he quickly discovered the suspicion.
"It's not a case I've handled, it's not a case I'm currently handling. The reason why those killers came to me is probably for a case I haven't handled yet." Mike said to Zhuang Xuteng: "My partner took it by mistake. A file, it was a closed disappearance case. Ever since he took the file by mistake, things started to go wrong. "
Zhuang Xuteng nodded. His nod was not about whether Mike found the right answer, but because Mike avoided the wrong answer. The killer's decision to kill Mike had nothing to do with the man named Zhuang Xuteng, nor did it have anything to do with the mercenary Naike.
"I can save you once, but I can't save you forever. Your time is precious, and it's your business how to use it. I won't bother you anymore." Zhuang Xuteng said, "No matter what you decide to do, remember that I saved you." Don't cause trouble for me. The hunt for you may come soon, maybe in a few days, no one can tell. In short, cherish your time, I'm leaving."
"Wait!" Mike stopped Zhuang Xuteng and said, "I have to thank you, and then I'll bother you with one more thing."
"I won't be your bodyguard. You can give up on this." Zhuang Xuteng patted his chest and said: "I can kill the killer first this time. I have used my luck. I am a superstitious person and will not Agree to such a dangerous request at this time.”
"I take care of my own life. I just want you to get me to the top of the bridge." Mike pointed to the top of his head and said, "It's too high, I can't climb up, and it takes too much time to go around in a circle. You I also said that my time is precious.”
"It's totally possible. I can throw you up, and you can hold on to the railing and climb up, even if your bones are painful. You have to hold on. If you fall, I can't save your life."
Zhuang Xuteng stretched out his hands to clamp Mike's armpits, then let the implant accumulate power and activate the high jump function. He could jump up there by himself, but not with another person. Therefore, Zhuang Xuteng could only push Mike up halfway, at the expense of himself falling down, and let him go up instead.
Mike gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his ribs and armpits. He had no cushioning implants, so tension was his only cushion. Zhuang Xuteng pushed him against the railing. He quickly hugged him with both hands and threw one leg up as fast as possible. After he rolled over and rolled to the ground, he could take a few breaths.
The highway was already jammed, but Mike, the only person in police uniform at the scene, had no intention of caring. He staggered to the deformed police car, yelled at the people who gathered around to watch the excitement, and then climbed onto the hood. The door was severely deformed by the impact and could no longer be opened. And there was the body of his partner in the driver's seat, and he had no strength to move it now.
One kick after another, Mike kicked the front glass to pieces, climbed in and took out the file bag. The bag was stained with blood and body tissue, and he wiped it off with a cold face. Before opening the bag, he climbed in again, took out the mobile phone from the deformed drawer in the passenger seat, dialed a number, and turned on the hands-free.
"Dear..." For a moment he wanted to cry, but he held back and said in a calm voice as much as possible: "There is something I want you to know, I love you..."
There was a traffic jam on one side of the highway, with constant honking of horns, and on the other side, the traffic was slow and the engine noise of the vehicles kept ringing. It was no problem to say that the noise here was noisy. In this continuous noise, someone behind the railing of the opposite lane clearly heard Mike's voice, listening to him telling his wife about his last wishes.
After throwing Mike up, Zhuang Xuteng passed through the bridge hole to the other side, and jumped up again after gathering strength. After that, he hid and secretly observed the development of the situation. His primary observation target was not Mike, but his armored weasel. He had to know when Lucy's people came and whether his things there were taken away.
As for the body of the black suit killer, there was no need to worry at all, it was already deeply trapped in the fire. Thermite is really effective. The guy will either be ash or melted, and no characteristics will be left. Of course, if the assassination is organized, then the person who sent the killer must know the killer's identity. Zhuang Xuteng wanted to cover up not the identity of the deceased, but the way the deceased died. Mystery is always the amulet of mercenaries, only in this way can they keep enough killers.
Just as Mike was sitting on the hood of the engine and looking through the files, traffic slowly resumed. Rows of vehicles bypassed the debris, burning bodies and overturned trucks on the ground, carefully and as quickly as possible leaving this place of trouble. Zhuang Xuteng had been hiding on the opposite side to observe the situation. He noticed that Mike was reading the files while talking on the phone, and wiped away tears several times during the period. He called at least four people, and the last call was the longest, which had lasted for fifteen minutes, and there was still no sign of ending.
This call, Mike called a leader in the PCPD that he could trust. He wanted to ask if there was any way to save his life in this situation.
Zhuang Xuteng understood his thoughts very well, but he was not optimistic about his future. He thought that the probability of Mike escaping this disaster was almost zero. Therefore, he did not show up afterwards, and hid aside waiting for the tail end to come.
Twenty minutes later, Lucy called. First, she asked him if he was still nearby, and second, she told him that the tail end personnel were approaching the scene, and if he had no means of transportation, he could come back with them. "Anyway, you have already paid for this trip." Lucy's reason was very sufficient, and immediately convinced Zhuang Xuteng.
So he followed the "road maintenance tow truck" back, with the dying armored weasel behind him. These professionals who are responsible for "dealing with the aftermath" have a variety of complete sets of equipment such as towing trucks, fire fighting, first aid, obstacle removal, emergency repair and disaster relief, etc. They can act in all the above identities and are absolutely professional enough. In fact, they are the staff of these industries, and now they are just making extra money.
According to regulations, Zhuang Xuteng's accident car should be towed to the evidence storage center. They just need to delay for two minutes on the road and find a car of the same model from the old car yard to replace it. Another group of people took over Zhuang Xuteng and continued on the road with the armored weasel to another repair yard. According to these people, the main purpose of changing the location for repair and storage is to increase the difficulty of tracking, so that someone will not come all the way according to the driving route and accidentally find the real armored weasel.
For this professionalism, meticulousness and thoughtfulness, Zhuang Xuteng immediately gave a thumbs up and decided to increase a part of the payment as a reward. Since he met such professional people, he took the opportunity to ask them what kind of car he should choose next.
"The Weasel is good, but you have to be able to buy the real thing. For example, the car behind, the appearance looks fine, but it is just a fake, and the inside is as cheap as it can be. There are many scammers in the automotive industry now. When they see newcomers coming, they must cheat them, and they call it paying tuition. The atmosphere is too bad."
"The stronger the car is, the better, don't pursue anything else; the faster the car is, the better, and there is no need to pursue anything else. If you still want to choose a car, you can wait and see the new gasoline locomotives. I think that is pretty good. If it is still powered by steam and electricity, the Weasel is already good, the key is to buy the real one."
Zhuang Xuteng wrote down this sentence. He went to the place where he bought the car a week later and punched the other person in the stomach. With his current strength, he can completely beat people into a waste, but it can't be seen on the surface, and he also explained this to the salesperson at the time. After he fully expressed his attitude, he finally graduated from the "novice period" and could get a real armored Weasel-and at a very cheap price.
If you want to save even more, you can give them your old car. Considering the risk of leakage, he did not save the money. So, a month after the crash on the highway, he already had four cars in his garage: two armored ferrets, one good and one bad, a gasoline engine motorcycle produced by Dingxin Mochuang, and a car dug out from the rubble. , a white beast armored vehicle that was rebuilt and reborn from the ashes.
To be honest, armored vehicles are still safe to use and comfortable to drive. However, the white beast is only used in important missions that are well prepared. Zhuang Xuteng usually uses either an armored ferret or a motorcycle, which is more convenient.
We’ll talk about what happens next, but let’s talk about Officer Mike’s follow-up first. Zhuang Xuteng returned to Peicheng to find Lucy. At this time, the investigation of the two PCPDs was basically completed, and the information was also summarized with Lucy. Coupled with the news brought back by Zhuang Xuteng, the whole story of this matter finally became clear.
"This Mike Lebedev is very interesting. He is a master at settling old scores. He is a legendary person in the PCPD. He is also nicknamed the Gravedigger Master like you." Lucy said: "If When he handles new cases, he is just like an ordinary police detective, and may not be as good at solving cases; but he has a keen sense of smell for some old cases and can often come up with different results after 18 years in the industry. He reviewed old cases 77 times and solved them 75 times. One of the two so-called unsolved old cases was that the murderer was dead before he was brought to justice, and there was no need to continue investigating; the other was the case of the 623 bombing. "
Zhuang Xuteng understood. Because Mike has the "Gravedigger Master", a crime-solving ability that is almost magical, when he got the wrong case file, the real murderer behind the case felt nervous and decided to kill him. "Sister Lucy, as long as his attack is not connected to the 623 case. Especially since he is investigating me, I'm worried..."
"Don't worry, this Mike has already explained the situation to the PCPD. He said that he was targeted after investigating a case. That case was not the 623 bombing case - it was the result of phone tapping." Lucy said: "Your suspicion no longer exists. Mike will definitely not pursue 623 anymore."
"Oh, he's going to die, and he will definitely not investigate the case again. What a pity. If his level of solving crimes is that high, he is really a talent."
"Talent? That case detection rate has no practical value, because he is the one who inexplicably uncovers old cases, instead of giving him an old case and he can solve it! All uncontrollable abilities are equivalent to being unusable! Let's just say this time, he started inexplicably The 623 case was investigated, and you were offended, and then another case was accidentally taken and a life was caused. Judging from the current situation, the other case was also very problematic, and it was even bigger than the 623 case. It’s not about ability, it’s simply a curse!”
"That's right." Zhuang Xuteng sighed and said, "Oh, it's quite a pity. I'm still very curious about what happened on June 23. After his death, I guess others won't dig out the truth. "
"When did he die?"
"He's dead!" Zhuang Xuteng spread his hands and said, "Does he have the money to hire a bodyguard like me to protect him every day?"
"He has found a good relationship, left the PCPD during the day, and joined the riot squad at night." Lucy said with a smile: "You are really right, he really has a bodyguard of your level protecting him every day."
