There was a new change in the cafeteria.
At noon, when Xia Pingan arrived at the cafeteria, there was pop music playing in the cafeteria. The equipment playing the music was an exaggeratedly shaped purple loudspeaker that was even taller than Xia Pingan.
In the middle of a few loudspeakers, there was a pile of square box playback equipment that Xia Pingan had seen before or never seen before. It filled up a bookcase that was half the height of a person. It looked very awesome and should also be very expensive.
The chefs working in the cafeteria listened to the music with a look of enjoyment on their faces.
The effect of the loudspeaker was a little shocking. When the music was played, the entire cafeteria was like a concert hall.
Tu Polu. Fang Lingshan and Cao Xinghua were already sitting in the cafeteria.
When they saw Xia Pingan arrive with the cafeteria, the three of them were not surprised. Only Old Tu asked, "Did you fuse it?"
Xia Pingan nodded. "Yes!"
"Ha, we will be going on missions together in the future!" Old Tu smiled and continued to gnaw on the bloody steak on his plate.
Cao Xinghua raised his eyelids and glanced at Xia Pingan. He only said two words, "Congratulations!"
"Thank you!"
As for Fang Lingshan, she only nodded slightly at Xia Pingan and did not say anything.
These people had been stimulated twice by Xia Pingan's perfect fusion with the Divine Fire Realm Bead and the Soul Pacifying Banner. They did not feel anything about Xia Pingan's fusion with the Divine Fire Realm Bead. It was as if it was a matter of course. If Xia Pingan could not fuse with the Divine Fire Realm Bead, they might be surprised.
Xia Pingan sat directly opposite Old Tu. As he drank the ginseng black chicken soup in the cafeteria, he asked, "The loudspeaker in the cafeteria is a little extravagant. Is the Committee of Order so well-funded?" “
"That loudspeaker was left behind by Old Man!" Old Tu paused, a nostalgic look on his face. "Yesterday, before you came back, Old Man was transferred away by the headquarters. He was promoted, and the headquarters transferred him to Europe. He left his favorite horn speaker in the canteen. You weren't there, so you didn't attend Old Man's farewell ceremony …"
Old Man Ziyi, the flamboyant man who likes to wear flowery shirts?
Xia Pingan still had some impression of him. He had seen him twice before. That flirtatious man was the person in charge of the information center of the Xianghe Committee of Order.
"Old Man is a good person, but he has a glib tongue!" Cao Xinghua, who had been quiet all the time, finally opened his mouth, "Old Man donates a lot of money to charity every year!"
"When he was here, I couldn't wait to kick him to death. Now that he's gone, I feel like something is missing in this building. It's a bit boring. I'm really not used to it!" Fang Ling Shan also said softly.
"Hahaha, it's okay. It's not like you can't see him. When you want to be harassed by him, let's go to Europe to drink with him during the holidays!" Tu Polu said casually.
After a short while, An Qing, Mo Yanshao and Li Yunzhou arrived. Everyone seemed to know that Xia Pingan had integrated with the Immortal Realm Bead. Therefore, they didn't ask much about it. An Qing congratulated Xia Pingan with a smile. Li Yunzhou yawned as he patted Xia Pingan's shoulder, "Come on, you can call me senior from now on …"
After lunch, Mo Yanshao directly started to assign tasks at the dining table. "There's something strange in the warehouse of the old graphite factory, No. 46, Lin 'an Road. More than one person reported to the police that they saw a shadow flashing through the window of the warehouse last night. This morning, the police sent people to check it out, but they didn't find anything strange. An Qing, Xia Pingan, you two go check it out together in the afternoon after lunch. If there's really something strange there, ordinary policemen won't be able to find it …"
"Okay!" An Qing glanced at Xia Pingan and reminded him. Her beautiful eyes were sparkling. "Remember to bring your gun and 'Reporter's Pass' with you in the afternoon …"
"Head, how about I go with An Qing!" Li Yunzhou said shamelessly.
Mo Yanshao glanced at him. "You and Cao Xinghua go to the Lingshi Building to check it out. According to the analysis of several big data files left by Old Man before he left, the tracks of two missing people last week overlapped in the Lingshi Building. The Lingshi Building is an important screening point …"
Glancing at Cao Xinghua, who was like a rock, Li Yunzhou suddenly became discouraged.
"Old Tu, Lingshan, you two go to the Qinglong Reservoir in the afternoon. That's also the location where the tracks of the missing people according to the analysis of the big data converge …"
Everyone accepted the order.
The meal was quickly finished, and everyone returned to their rooms to prepare.
After returning to his room, Xia Pingan put on his holster and inserted the Manuel MR98 into the holster. The holster also had five quick-loading clips. Each clip had six bullets, and with the six bullets in the gun, he had a total of 36 bullets, which was enough to deal with most situations.
For revolvers like the Manuel MR98, the slow loading speed had always been a shortcoming of revolvers. In order to make up for this shortcoming, people had invented some auxiliary reloading tools. The quick-loading clip and quick-loading clip were two of the auxiliary reloading tools.
The quick-loading clip was disc-shaped, and its diameter was about the same as the revolver's wheel. This thing reloaded quickly, but it was round and very inconvenient to carry around as it took up a lot of space. In comparison, the quick-loading clip was much more convenient. It was smaller than ordinary clips and was flat. As long as one was familiar with it, they could also finish reloading the revolver in the shortest amount of time.
Xia Pingan had spent most of his time practicing his gun these days on how to use the quick-loading clip to reload the revolver. After becoming familiar with it, his reloading speed was already very fast.
After carrying the gun, he took out the "Reporter ID" from the pile of documents and wore it on his body. He wore a sports jacket on the outside, so no one would be able to tell that he was carrying a gun.
Xia Pingan came to the parking lot, and An Qing also came down.
Yasuharu had changed into a beige windbreaker, black trousers, a white shirt, and a pair of women's leather shoes with round heads and shallow necklaces. She was clean and neat, bright and moving. In an instant, she had turned into a capable female reporter.
…
A few minutes later, An Qing's red Ferrari 599 had just rushed out of the door of the public order committee member's office when a black motorcycle caught up from behind like a bolt of lightning. In an instant, it ran in front of the Ferrari 599.
On the motorcycle was a female rider wearing a black leather jacket and a helmet. Judging from the female rider's hot figure, the female rider was Fang Ling Shan.
Old Tu drove his SUV with six exhaust pipes and rushed up from behind. He drove alongside An Qing. After greeting her, they separated at the intersection and followed Fang Ling Shan's lightning-fast motorcycle in another direction.
This time, An Qing didn't drive as fiercely as before, and there were no police lights on the car.
Thirty minutes later, An Qing drove the car to the underground parking lot of a hotel on Lin 'an Road. She and Xia Pingan took the elevator from the underground parking lot to the hotel lobby. After walking out of the lobby, they walked a few hundred meters and arrived at the Old Graphite Factory's warehouse on Lin' an Road.
The Old Graphite Factory's warehouse was an old building that was half-abandoned. It hadn't been used for a long time, and the mottled, rusty metal door was left ajar. From the outside, the courtyard outside the warehouse was overgrown with weeds, and one of the windows facing the street was broken.
Through the gap in the door, one could easily squeeze in by leaning sideways.
Xia Pingan was the first to enter, followed by An Qing.
Xia Pingan didn't dare to let his guard down. The moment he entered, he took out his gun.
After the fire rescue, he knew that there were some things hidden in the city that were much more terrifying than he had imagined.
There were weeds growing in the courtyard, and there were some abandoned wooden boxes and a few rusty steel rails scattered around. Other than that, there wasn't anything else that was too eye-catching.
The two of them first searched the courtyard outside the warehouse. After confirming that there was nothing out of the ordinary, they walked into the warehouse.
The warehouse was divided into two floors, and almost all the doors were open. Some of the rooms were empty, and some of the rooms were filled with dust. At first glance, there wasn't anything special.
Xia Pingan told An Qing what he saw from afar.
"Let's go in and take a look. Some things can only be felt and discovered at a close distance …"
The two of them carefully searched the warehouse on the first floor, but they didn't find anything. They searched the warehouse on the second floor again, but they didn't find anything out of the ordinary.
"Strange, there was more than one call from the surrounding residents. They all said that they saw shadows and heard movements here at night. Could it be that a scavenger wanderer came here?" An Qing's eyes scanned the surroundings of the warehouse, and her delicate eyebrows frowned slightly. "But there are no traces of wanderers or scavengers living here!" “
Judging from the fresh footprints of leather shoes on the first and second floor of the warehouse and the corridor, only two policemen came here to take a look before leaving. They didn't find anything else.
Xia Pingan raised his head and looked at the beam at the top of the warehouse, the crane, and the street lamp outside the window. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. He climbed up the stairs to the top of the crane and walked to the bottom of the beam at the top of the warehouse where there was a pile of broken sacks and wooden boxes. There, he heard a special sound.
He squatted down and lifted a wooden board. He saw that under the board, there was a litter of cute kittens that had just opened their eyes and were still crying for food.
"Meow …" Just then, two big tabby cats came in through a broken window at the top of the warehouse and walked along the beam. One of the big tabby cats had two mice in its mouth. When it saw Xia Pingan, the big tabby cat that didn't have mice in its mouth screamed nervously and angrily.
Xia Pingan covered the board and retreated.
"There's a litter of kittens up there. I think I know what the shadows that the people outside saw were." Xia Pingan pointed to the big tabby cat on the beam, and then pointed to the street lamp outside that was facing the beam.
An Qing suddenly understood.
At night, when the street lamp outside was turned on, the two big tabby cats went home from the beam. The street lamp enlarged their shadows and cast them on the wall on the other side of the warehouse. If there were people outside the warehouse, they would feel that there were shadows flashing in the warehouse from the window on the wall.
After investigation, there was nothing unusual in the warehouse. It was just a false alarm that the two cats had settled down here.
Xia Pingan and the others didn't find anything here, but at the Lingshi Building, Cao Xinghua and Li Yunzhou made an important discovery.
