Three days later,
The Chicago Police Department, the chief's office,
"I'll say it one last time! Even if you've been forcing me! The bureau can't find any clues at all! "
Old Eli sat inside his desk, holding the phone in his hand as he said angrily,
"As per your request, I personally handed the corpses to the two of them. Who knows why they died? Do you expect me to say that the corpses came back to life and killed two living people … people like you?!"
"Two living people couldn't even transport a corpse and were killed in the police station. Their corpses were also taken away. Do you think I won't care about this matter and won't cooperate with your investigation?"
"The fact is that there are no clues left at the scene! No matter how much pressure you put on me … it's impossible for me to fabricate clues out of thin air when I don't know anything! "
"Humph! Do as you wish! Even if the governor comes! I'll still give the same answer! Our police station doesn't know anything! "
As soon as he finished speaking..,
The chief immediately hung up the phone angrily.
And at this moment..,
The door of the office was opened from the outside.
"Mr. Chief …"
"Get lost!" Old Eli glared as if he was conditioned reflexively. "We don't know anything!"
"Uh …" the uniformed assistant of the chief could not help but be stunned for a moment. But considering the pressure that the chief had been under recently, she temporarily suppressed the grievance in her heart and said,
"Mr. Chief, there's news about the matter that you asked others to investigate. Sheriff Qiao, he … did recently leave his colleagues behind and go out alone. And the time of this behavior roughly coincides with the time when the bodies disappeared …"
"I'm sorry for just now. I really lost my composure. Come in and close the door first …" Old Eli immediately calmed down when he heard this. He then looked at the other police officers outside the glass wall, and then waved to the assistant standing in front of the office door.
"Tell me the details of the matter in detail …"
"It only happened once …" Seeing this, the assistant hurriedly closed the office door, then walked in and sat opposite Old Eli's desk. She still had some disbelief on her face as she said.
"But before this incident happened, Sheriff Joe had bribed one of his colleagues and got him to install a listening device in the morgue …"
"But after that, we didn't find any bugs in the morgue. So, even if the surveillance camera footage was deleted, we can still infer that Sheriff Qiao personally came to retrieve the bugs because only Sheriff Qiao and the officer who was bribed knew about this."
"The police officer who was bribed to install the tapping device admitted that he did not remove the tapping device. At the same time, he also provided reliable proof that he had not entered the morgue recently. So … the only possibility left is Sergeant Qiao."
"Therefore …"
"The inference is …"
"Sheriff Qiao bribed a colleague during his vacation and asked the other party to install the listening device in the morgue. He has been paying attention to the case on 13th Street since the beginning. After learning about some things through the listening device, he got rid of the colleague in charge of surveillance and personally came to retrieve the listening device …"
"At the same time …"
"Everything was done by Sheriff Qiao, including the fact that he killed two strangers who pretended to be police officers and snatched the body in the morgue … He's also very suspicious."
After hearing these words …
Old Eli couldn't help but reach out and grab his thick hair on both sides of his head. He scratched his bald head twice and gritted his teeth.
"Where did that guy go now?"
The assistant lady replied, "Sheriff Qiao is still under the surveillance of the police station. Recently, he has been staying at home, but …"
"But what?!" Old Eli's blood pressure instantly rose.
"A few days ago …" The assistant lady immediately said, "Sheriff Qiao seemed to be applying for a green card for a distant relative. When he was running around … he used your name to smooth over the connections of various organizations."
"A distant relative?" Old Eli suppressed the anger in his heart. "Why didn't I know that this guy had relatives in other countries?"
"The green card has been processed …" The assistant lady knew the relationship between the bureau chief and Sheriff Qiao, so she naturally didn't dare to speak up and participate in the love and hate between the two. She just continued to speak the facts that she knew.
"However, Sheriff Qiao only sent the green card out immediately. After that, we followed the address of the delivery … and found that the address was a local hotel. After the mysterious consignee received the green card, he quickly left the small hotel that didn't require identification."
"Where did he go?" Old Eli asked.
"…" The assistant lady suddenly fell silent.
Seeing this..,
Old Eli reached out and rubbed his temples. He resisted the urge to scold the other party. "It seems that if I want to know what happened here, I really have to ask that guy personally …"
"Go and tell the police officer in charge of monitoring Old Qiao to … arrest that guy and bring him back to the police station."
After saying this, the bureau chief seemed to have aged a lot in an instant..
However..,
At this moment..,
The two people in the room suddenly heard an alarm coming from a distance outside the room. A police officer pushed the door open and entered.
"Mr. … Mr. Bureau Chief!"
"What's going on now?!" Old Eli's eyes seemed to be spewing flames.
"You … you should look out the window first. We … we don't know what's going on either," the young police officer immediately said, wanting to cry but having no tears.
Hearing this..,
Old Eli walked out from his desk and came to the window to look at the street outside. Then … he was stunned in front of the window of the police station.
He saw..
Along with the sound of the alarm in the distance, the originally orderly street was instantly in chaos, and the culprits … were those lunatics who seemed to have lost their minds, their eyes pitch-black, and they bit anyone they saw.
In addition, what was even more terrifying was that as long as they were bitten by those lunatics, the victims who were originally considered normal quickly joined the lunatics' team.
At the same time..,
Sensing the chaos on the street,
The police station had also sent out police officers to deal with the chaos. Some people were even shooting at those aggressive lunatics, but even so … those lunatics still pounced on them, covered in blood, desperately biting the police officers who were already at a loss.
In just a few minutes..,
The entire street had been completely plunged into chaos. The cars on the road collided with each other and ignited … and finally exploded!
Blood, thick smoke, explosions..
And the lunatics who had long fallen into madness and kept biting other normal people. Even if they were seriously injured, they could still walk out of the thick smoke and continue to attack the fleeing crowd with flames on their bodies..
It was a mess!
It was all a mess!
Crazy!
They were all crazy!
Old Eli looked at the streets that had completely turned into hell and suddenly felt that Chicago, which used to be jokingly called the 'City of Sin', might be completely destroyed after today..
Because..,
Those lunatics on the street..,
Were clearly the walking dead that only existed in horror movies!
