The Monster I Was Redeemed

Chapter 31: Meeting at a fast food restaurant

   Ten years ago, when Ai Liang was a volunteer policeman, his first partner was the old bachelor Xia Qiyuan. Ai Liang was responsible for collecting intelligence and evidence, and Xia Qiyuan was responsible for collecting the Internet and arresting people.

   After many cooperations, Xia Qiyuan began to inquire about Ai Liang's true identity, but everything was in vain.

   After all, Ai Liang's real body was only five years old at that time, and it is impossible to find him if Xia Qiyuan is the reincarnation of Holmes.

   One is a criminal police officer in Neihua City, and the other is an unidentified intelligence dealer. No matter how many times they cooperate, there is always a barrier between them.

   It’s just that Xia Qinian was still a little white who had just stepped out of the ivory tower and stepped into society. In his eyes, Ai Liang and Xia Qiyuan were close partners who were working together in the dark, fighting crime together.

   And this misunderstanding has continued to the present.

   Yes, until now Xia Qinian regards the hermit as a close friend of his uncle.

   Has his social experience all these years been used to feed the dog?

   Ai Liang's expression brought a trace of disgust.

   "If you don't care, why call me." Xia Qinian didn't give up yet.

   "I just want you to bring a message to Shi Feng, I have no intention of starting with Yue Chongshan, I have already planned to retire completely."

   This is the purpose of Ai Liang's sudden intention to call Xia Qinian.

   Directly used the senior phone to call Shi Feng, the captain of the criminal police team, and said that he was going to retire. In the eyes of others, it was simply a blatant provocation and did not put the technical department in their eyes.

   is like a wanted criminal calling the police and telling the police that he wants to live a peaceful life, and you should stop looking for me.

   This kind of person was caught by the police, but he was beaten out of shit.

   Don’t watch the movie when the killers use their work mobile phones, the police check it out. In fact, if they really want to check, they just need to connect to the black base station and everything will be invisible.

   Ai Liang was not sure whether the police had controlled the self-built base stations in Neihua in recent years, so he told Shi Feng in this roundabout way.

   "Wait, many things on the phone are not clear, so why don't you come out and see you tomorrow..." Xia Qinian said tentatively.

   "No interest, goodbye."

   "A guy named Mask is tracking you recently, I have some clues!"

   On the eve of the hang-up, Xia Qinian directly took out the last bargaining chip, and Ai Liang's finger also stopped on the hang-up button.

Xia Qinian on the phone spoke quickly: "Someone wanted to get you to join a certain organization, right? The latest rumors were also spread by them, and the purpose is to draw you out. Not only that, they also had organ trading ten years ago. Relationship, the guy who claims to be Mask No. 3 is the buyer of that transaction! We can cooperate on this matter."

   Ai Liang saw the phone again and put it in her ear and asked: "Just ask, where did you hear someone tracking me?"

   "I know an insider who wants to defect."

"first name?"

   Xia Qinian took a deep breath and said a name that Ai Liang was very familiar with: "Xu Zhihai."

   Ai Liang was silent for a while.

  Why would Xu Zhihai get involved with this group of people who picked up the rags...By the way, isn't his scene over yet?

   But these are not the main points, there is another problem right now.

   It was revealed not long ago that Xu Zhihai was behind the two murders. Although he was released due to insufficient evidence, the police will definitely send someone to stare at him.

   Now Xia Qinian will take him to meet with him again, and he will be exposed to the police's sight by then.

   Ai Liang can feel what it's like to lift a rock and hit her in the foot.

   Seeing Xia Qinian's attitude that I won't say anything if he doesn't see each other, it's not enough if he doesn't see each other.

   The group of people not only abused their own name, but tried to make themselves stubborn, but they also planned to kill them after the invitation was unsuccessful. There are also the curses mentioned by the mask man before, these things make Ai Liang unable to turn a blind eye.

   "Tomorrow at seven o'clock in the evening, the fast food restaurant on the fifth floor of Yuelai Shopping Mall, remember to bring that Xu Zhihai." Ai Liang said.

   Soldiers came to cover the water and earth, anyway, after transforming himself, he was completely another person, just looking for a chance to get rid of the tracking to change back to the original appearance.

   The flow of people in the big shopping mall is huge. Just find a bathroom and get in and come out.

   Unless they also have superpowers, they will never discover their true identity.

   "Understand."

   Xia Qinian's tense nerves finally relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

   Ai Liang hung up the phone, turned off the old man and returned to the bedroom, and took out another spare cell phone from the desk drawer.

   When I ate with Xia Qinian before, he saw the style of the mobile phone.

   Although most people don’t associate the fifteen-year-old ordinary student with the scary cut-throat madman in the black zone, the details determine success or failure. To be on the safe side, Ai Liang decided to use a spare cell phone.

  ......

   The next day, five thirty in the afternoon.

   Ai Liang put on a pure white T-shirt and cropped jeans. This is his observation near the mall for a day during the day. After statistics, he has the highest appearance rate. The shoes are also the most popular styles at the moment.

   Ai Liang did not do this to catch up with the trend. The first point for the police to track down a suspect is to look for physical characteristics. In the case where the surveillance cannot capture the face, height, body shape and clothing are the key research objects. Because I have not received relevant training, it is difficult to imagine a person's appearance based on description alone.

But if you wrap yourself up tightly, it will be even more eye-catching. In places with a lot of people, Ai Liang now wears a similar dress in every 20 people. As long as he mixes in the crowd, it looks like nothing. Good building materials merchants are just as difficult to distinguish by mixing ashes in cement.

   After changing clothes, Ai Liang took a taxi to Yuelai Shopping Mall.

There is still an hour before the appointed time. Ai Liang took advantage of this time to visit the mall, figured out the location of each camera and the general architectural structure of the mall, and then ordered a cup of green tea and a bag in the beverage shop on the third floor. Store it here, and tell the clerk to go to the bathroom and pick it up later.

   Then he put on a black mask in the bathroom of the mall and changed his body to complete the transformation of a tough guy.

   Ai Liang, who looked like a hermit, avoided surveillance all the way to the fast food restaurant on the fifth floor.

   Xia Qinian and Xu Zhihai have been waiting here for a long time.

   Xia Qinian placed a Sima with his fingers tapping on the table, audibly saying that I am in a bad mood now, while Xu Zhihai next to him carelessly eats French fries and takes a sip of Coke from time to time.

   The fast food restaurant's business is good, almost full of seats. After refusing the request to join the table again, Xia Qinian's face grew gloomy.

   At this time Ai Liang walked straight to the opposite side of him and sat down.

   "There are already people here." Xia Qinian asked Ai Liang to get up and leave unceremoniously.

   Ai Liang glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner, took off his mask after making sure that he could only take pictures of his back, and said, "I am."

   Hearing this familiar and neutral voice, Xia Qinian's eyes widened, and he looked at Ai Liang up and down in disbelief.

   "Why are you so...young for so many years?"

   Old and crude, he thought for a long time and didn't come up with a suitable adjective. He could only hold back the word "young".

   Ai Liang's current appearance is only twenty-seven or eighty-eight. Ten years ago, he met with Xia Qiyuan's uncle and nephew with this appearance. Today, ten years later, his appearance has not changed.

   Looking back at Xia Qinian, who was shabby, only his grandfather would treat him as a junior.

Ai Liang put on the mask again and said: "You are not talking to me for these nonsense, right? I don't mind if you want to continue to consume it. The plainclothes by the window will recognize me soon, so don't blame me. Leave directly."

   "Plainclothes are monitoring Xu Zhihai, not..." Xia Qinian was worried that Ai Liang was misunderstanding and planned to explain.

   "I know, I have investigated his information, and now I only care about what he knows." Ai Liang turned his eyes to Xu Zhihai, a sharp look flashed under his eyes.

   Hearing this black zone SSR-level figure point the topic to himself, Xu Zhihai greeted with a cheerful and cordial smile: "It is really flattering to be missed by the famous Throat Slasher."

   "The CEO who hides behind the scenes and guides others to kill is more powerful." Ai Liang unceremoniously slammed back: "Let others do things with dirty hands."

   "Do you think you are very clean?" Xu Zhihai squeezed a French fries dipped in tomato sauce and delivered it to his mouth.

   Ai Liang looked directly at Xu Zhihai’s eyes, as if to him or saying to himself, “No one’s hands are clean. The key is how they get dirty.”

   "Well, very interesting remark, so I am also on your hunting list?"

   "You better stay in prison honestly."

   "It was Gao Fuye and Wang Qiang who killed my sister. As a younger brother, is it wrong to take revenge? And...you are qualified to say that to me?"

   Hearing that he was on the hunting list of the cut-throat mad demon, Xu Zhihai was not only not nervous, but also dared to refute with a smile. The courage was true.

   Ai Liang's original meaning was that he did not intend to pursue him, but the meaning of saying it as a hermit is different.

   Obviously a certain cognitive error occurred in the process of dissemination, which made Xu Zhihai mistakenly believe that Ai Liang was going to attack him.

   "I kill people who deserve to be killed, but innocent people have died because of you."

   Ai Liang said solemnly.

   "Oh, the enemy's daughter."

   Xu Zhihai said disdainfully.

   Xu Zhihai’s situation is very complicated. It is understandable that he killed Wang Qiang for the purpose of revenge, but Gao Jiajia was an innocent victim.

   To kill Ai Liang for the purpose of revenge does not care, but Xu Zhihai involves innocent people, which causes his behavior to touch Ai Liang's bottom line but not completely cross it.

   Therefore, Ai Liang would persuade him to surrender after he discovered that Xu Zhihai was the real murderer behind the scenes, because Ai Liang himself was not qualified to judge whether his actions were right or wrong.

   Xu Zhihai chose to take revenge in this extreme way when there was nowhere to go.

   He is not like the heinous guys in the black zone. Every one of them is dragged out and shot for ten minutes, and he does not hesitate to kill.

   After all, Ai Liang just used the criminals to vent their emotions, and by the way, in addition to violence, they are not really just and unselfish extra-judicial sanctions. Such private hatred Ai Liang is generally handed over to the police.

   Moreover, Ai Liang asked him to surrender. There was another most fundamental and direct reason. When he discovered that Xu Zhihai was the murderer, a thought flashed in his mind.

   Ai Liang is very familiar with that idea, familiar enough to make him feel scared.

   Xia Qinian, who originally planned to let the two meet each other first, looked at the two tit-for-tat, and could only speak to be peacemakers.

   "Time is running out, let's exchange information directly."

   Xia Qinian suppressed his desire and handed the initiative of the topic to Ai Liang.

   Ai Liang did not pretend to ask directly: "Your relationship with that mask No. 3, the name of the organization behind it, and the main purpose of your organization, please explain this clearly."

"Well, it's really rude." Xu Zhihai put down the French fries and drank a cola to moisturize his throat, and performed a Sichuan opera to change his face, as if the unpleasantness just now was an illusion. "These things are too troublesome to explain, so I'll start from the beginning. Right."

   "First of all, the name of this organization is called ‘Apostles’. Its main purpose is to invite special talents from all over the world to join the organization. I don’t know who is a special talent. They seem to have a set of special evaluation criteria.”

"After all my family passed away three years ago, a guy named Thousand Faces came to me and asked me to join them at the price of helping me get revenge. Don’t say more.” Xu Zhihai said, “As for the purpose of this apostolic society, I’m not clear about it. After all, I’m just as a reserve staff and haven’t formally joined yet, and besides the person who invited me, I haven’t seen anyone else. ."

"As for that mask No. 3 seems to be the outer armed personnel of the Apostles, I don’t have much interaction with him. You may not believe it. They have some special powers that can instantly improve their physical fitness. The masked man can even lift up with one hand. Lift a fifty kilogram barbell."

"As for other matters, leave it to Mr. Xia Qinian. The fried chicken legs are not tasty when they are cold." Xu Zhihai tore the seasoning bag and sprinkled black pepper on the golden skin. Meimei bite a big bite and made a crackling sound.

   "They came once ten years ago. According to the dossier, the masked man was looking for a cat's eye to help buy a living heart." Xia Qinian took the stubbornly and made a supplementary explanation. "My uncle disappeared ten years ago to hunt down the masked man."

   Ai Liang kept his face straight. Xu Zhihai seemed to have said a lot, but the actual information revealed was not much. The only useful information was the name of the strange organization.

   While Ai Liang was thinking about how to find members of this organization, Xia Qinian asked with a dull and painful look: "Is my uncle alive?"

   He has been hypnotizing himself for these years. Xia Qiyuan must be alive, but since reading the files in Shifeng's office, a small crack appeared in Xia Qinian's original tough heart.

   Ai Liang's answer may be glue to fill that tiny gap, or it may be a stone chisel that expands the crack and makes the whole heart fragmented.

   "It should be dead." Ai Liang's tone was flat and terrifying. "When Xia Qiyuan was pulled into the ambulance, the broken ribs pierced the lobe of the lung, the arteries in the right leg were cut open, there were multiple fractures all over the body, and the nails and teeth were all pulled out. It was obvious that he was abused by inhumans. The probability is that he could not be saved coming."

   "But I didn't find the hospital ambulance travel record." Xia Qinian clenched his fists and suppressed anger in his eyes. "All hospitals in Neihua City, including the emergency room of the Interpol, have no medical records."

   "I only saw him being carried into an ambulance by a group of people in military uniforms. I don't know anything else." Ai Liang replied stiffly.

   "Military uniform?" Xia Qinian was stunned.

   Then he fell into deep self-doubt, which means that Xia Qinian was taken away by the authorities?
