The seventh underground floor of the Special Task Force was a dedicated training center. Including Xia Fan, there were a total of six people with superpowers in the agency. However, only five people used the training center.
For some reason, Director Jerry, nicknamed Daddy Candy, never did any training. He was obsessed with high-calorie sweets and had eaten himself to the point where his body was bloated. He was less than 1.7 meters tall, but he weighed more than 150 kilograms. When he walked, he looked like a mountain of meat. He did not look like a capable superhuman at all.
Xia Fan, who had completed his routine training in the training center, asked Chu Yan this question out of curiosity. Chu Yan could not help but laugh after hearing Xia Fan's words. "Aren't you pretty smart? You can't even figure out this problem. If Daddy didn't have some real skills, how could he have become the director? We, the Special Task Force, have never kept idle people. "
Daddy was what everyone called Director Jerry. The chubby old man had a very kind personality. He strolled around the agency all day with a bunch of snacks in his arms. The others would shake hands when they met, but Jerry's father would stuff a handful of sweets into his hands without saying a word. It was as if he was afraid that the little guys in the agency would be hungry.
Xia Fan shrugged, wiped the sweat off his body with a towel, and said, "I've learned some medical skills. Daddy's physical condition is obviously not very good. A lot of fat has accumulated in his organs. I saw him gasping for breath when he went up the stairs. I'm worried that the excess fat has started to pressure his heart, causing insufficient blood supply to his brain."
Chu Yan waved her hand disapprovingly and said, "You don't understand. Dad hasn't reached his peak state yet. He's a person. The fatter he gets, the more powerful he becomes. I remember when I first arrived at the police station, Dad weighed nearly 250 kilograms. He still needs to work hard to regain that weight."
Xia Fan stuck his tongue out. He could not imagine that a person who was less than 1.7 meters could weigh 250 kilograms. That was too much.
Furthermore, Daddy never exercised, so all he grew was fat, which was not good for his health.
Chu Yan took out two bottles of sports drinks from the fridge and threw one to Xia Fan. The Special Task Force treated him well. The drinks and energy bars were all free.
"You're really a freak. You're always thinking about all kinds of problems. Aren't you tired?"
"Daddy likes you very much now. You've only been here for three months, and you've already solved 16 unsolved cases that have been piling up for years. You've maintained a 100% success rate. Coupled with your special identity, you've gained some fame even at the headquarters, let alone the Britania branch," Chu Yan said after taking a few sips of the sports drink.
Xia Fan's work had been getting better lately. Relying on his special sense of smell and all kinds of strange skills that the scourge had taught him, Xia Fan had solved many cases that had been dusty for a long time. Xia Fan gained some fame and received a lot of rewards.
Lawton was the happiest. He was the butler that Luo Tianhai had left for Xia Fan. He took good care of Xia Fan's daily life. Although it was expensive, the quality of his life had improved.
Lawton liked Chu Yan very much. Every time Chu Yan came to his house, he would always make unexpected food. Chu Yan had recently gained some weight. She trained harder every day to eat more of Lawton's food. Her foodie nature was revealed.
Lawton also liked Chu Yan a lot. Every time Chu Yan came to his house, he would always make unexpected delicacies. It made Chu Yan a little fat recently. She was training harder every day to eat more of Lawton's food. Her gluttonous nature was revealed.
Xia Fan smiled. "They're all local cases, nothing worth celebrating. The Special Task Force's job is to deal with superpower crimes. I'm just helping out the local police in my spare time. Actually, I'd like to do some real work," he said.
Chu Yan suddenly became serious. She looked at Xia Fan and said, "I advise you not to think that way. It's best if the Special Task Force doesn't have any work. Any case that requires the Special Task Force to be involved is a big one."
Suddenly …
Just as Chu Yan finished speaking, her and Xia Fan's wrist-based communication terminal rang at the same time. Chu Yan looked down at the screen and frowned. She said in a complaining tone, "You jinx. Whatever you say comes true. It's a Red Gathering Order. I'm afraid we're in big trouble."
.....
Swoosh!
The hover car landed outside a seaside villa.
The local police had already set up a perimeter. Xia Fan counted at least 70 to 80 police cars parked there. There were also police patrol boats along the coast. It was enough to prove how serious they were about this case.
Xia Fan got out of the car and looked around. He realized that the villa was less than 30 meters away from the beautiful white beach. There was a small door in the backyard that led directly to the beach. The villa had three floors and a floor area of 1,500 square meters. It was made of marble, which was expensive to build. There was no doubt that the people who could live in such a place were not only rich, but they were also very leisurely.
"Alliance Special Task Force, get your person in charge here." Chu Yan flashed her badge. The local police immediately became nervous. They smiled at Chu Yan and Xia Fan, appearing very humble.
The police quickly found the local police chief. He was a middle-aged man with a sallow face. He ran all the way to Chu Yan and Xia Fan.
"What's going on?" Chu Yan asked directly. Her attitude was a little condescending, but as the most powerful agency in the Alliance, such an attitude was completely normal.
"According to the registration, this family is Wu Jie, a retired superpower user. He lives here with his wife, two granddaughters, and one grandson. They are all dead. Their bodies are in the living room," the local police chief said as he wiped his sweat. The local sheriff said as he wiped his sweat. He looked flustered, but Xia Fan guessed that it was not because he was drenched in sweat from running all the way here. It was more likely that he was nervous because the scene was too tragic.
"Why is there a child?" Chu Yan frowned. Women were born with maternal instincts, so Chu Yan was more concerned about the death of the child.
"Wu Jie's children all work in the military. They are usually busy, so he sent the child to the old couple to take care of. They come back once every six months for a long vacation, including Wu Jie himself. He also worked in the military before he retired. This information was obtained through the maid at home. She was also the one who found the body," the chief replied.
"The military?" Chu Yan frowned even more and said to Xia Fan, "In the Alliance, anything that involves the military is very troublesome."
Xia Fan nodded, expressing his understanding. After all, the military and the civilian system were two completely different systems. Once the military knew that a former employee of the military had died, they would immediately intervene, putting a lot of pressure on the work of the Special Task Force.
Chu Yan said loudly, "Continue to seal off the scene and send your men to visit the nearby houses. Try to find any witnesses. From now on, the Special Task Force will take over here."
The sallow chief nodded and said, "The visit has already begun. We are checking the surrounding residents and tourists on the beach one by one."
"However, before you came, the military had already taken over the scene and chased all our people out."
"So fast?" Chu Yan was stunned. "Which department? The Military Intelligence or the Military Administration? "
The chief shrank his neck and said helplessly, "How would I know? They showed us their IDs, and we could only leave."
Sigh …
Chu Yan sighed and said, "Forget it. Go do what you need to do."
The chief nodded and bowed before leaving, ordering his men to conduct a large-scale investigation. Chu Yan and Xia Fan went straight to the villa and knocked on the door. A rude voice came from inside. "Who is it? Didn't I tell you to get as far away from here as possible? "
Chu Yan sneered and flashed her ID at Cat Eyes. "The Alliance Special Task Force."
After a while, the door was reluctantly opened. Xia Fan saw a strong man in a black suit. His back was straight, and there was an inverted triangle on his back. One look and one could tell that he was a soldier. There was a bulge on his waist, which meant that he was probably carrying a weapon.
Without waiting for the man to say anything, Chu Yan barged in. The soldier guarding the door did not stop her.
Xia Fan immediately realized that something was wrong when he came to the living room. There were French glass doors on both sides of the living room, but at the moment, the curtains were completely closed, and there was only a dim yellow light.
Even if the military wanted to investigate the scene, they would need to be brighter to get a closer look. Why would they close the curtains? Or did the murderer close the curtains? The military only did not move the curtains because they wanted to protect the scene.
Xia Fan sniffed, and his expression changed slightly.
Xia Fan smelled disinfectant. It was not the household disinfectant that Lawton used to clean the house. It was a special type of disinfectant with a stronger effect. Xia Fan's superpower of smell was completely useless.
Other than the dead body in the room, there were also four soldiers in black suits. Xia Fan saw a huge black suitcase in the corner of the living room. There was a military intelligence mark on it, and the smell of disinfectant was coming from it.
It turned out that the military was not protecting the scene, but destroying it!
At the same time, Xia Fan also smelled another smell. It was also in every corner of the room, but this smell was covered by the disinfectant. It took Xia Fan some time to discover this smell.
It was benzodiin, a substance that was harmless to humans but deadly to mice and insects. Xia Fan was willing to bet that there was not a single mouse or insect in the room at the moment.
With that, Xia Fan's sense of smell and beast-taming skills that he was so proud of were all useless.
"Could they be doing this on purpose?" Xia Fan's mind raced.
At that moment, a military man with triangular eyes suddenly nodded. His subordinate pulled the curtains open, and bright sunlight shone in. Xia Fan and Chu Yan saw the bodies on the carpet in the middle of the living room at the same time.
There were five bodies, all with their backs facing up, and their faces facing the carpet. The carpet had absorbed a large amount of blood, and from the location of the blood, the wounds were on the necks.
"You guys are from the military intelligence?" At that moment, Chu Yan also saw the suitcase in the corner and frowned at the triangular-eyed man.
"That's right," the triangular-eyed man replied.
The military intelligence was called the Alliance Military Intelligence Administration. It was an intelligence agency under the military, and it had extremely high authority.
Chu Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "So, you guys want to take over this case?"
The triangular-eyed soldier laughed. "All cases of superpower crimes belong to the Special Task Force. Besides, although Wu Jie used to be a soldier, he is now retired."
"So, of course, this case belongs to the Special Task Force. However, because it involves former military personnel, we have the right to know and can assist in the investigation."
Chu Yan rolled her eyes at the soldier. "Good that you know."
Chu Yan turned her head and looked at Xia Fan. "Don't just stand there. Check the scene immediately and tell me what you think."
Chu Yan had absolute confidence in Xia Fan, who had a 100% success rate in solving cases. She felt that as long as Xia Fan was around, there was no case that could not be solved, so she sounded very confident. It was a pity that she did not know that Xia Fan's two great extinct cases had long been destroyed.
Xia Fan frowned and prepared to check the condition of the bodies first.
Suddenly...
At that moment, the triangular-eyed man's eyes darkened and said, "I think we should wait a little longer."
"Wait for what?"
"Although the Special Task Force is in charge of this place, you guys are not the only ones in the Special Task Force. Xiao Wang, go and ask that gentleman to come down." There was a hint of mockery in the triangular-eyed man's words. Chu Yan immediately raised her eyes.
Upon receiving the order, a soldier went up to the second floor. Not long after, they heard the footsteps of two people coming up the stairs.
