Chapter 262 The Dilemma of the Sea Hare

"How did you know this place?"

As soon as Ai Liang entered, she was met with the expected questioning.

However, the sea hare was just asking casually.

I didn't expect Ai Liang to actually explain the source of the information to him.

Sea Hare pushed off with one foot, turned around, and focused its gaze on Ai Liang: "Did that kid Jin Ping'an tell you?"

Ai Liang didn't answer, but in Hai Tu's eyes...

Not answering means you agree.

"I knew it was that brat! Next time he asks me for help, I'll definitely rip him off!"

The sea hare said fiercely.

Ai Liang: "..."

Sea Hare got up and walked to the water dispenser, taking out two disposable cups from the cabinet.

Then, using the coffee pot, I poured two cups of coffee and brought them over.

Hai Tu placed the coffee on the table and gestured for Ai Liang to choose first: "Speak, what brings you here in person? Let me make it clear first, there's been no progress on the matter you asked me to investigate."

Several days have passed since the throat-slitting incident.

Although the police are searching for the killer's trail based on Jin Ping'an's sketch.

However, they still haven't figured out the killer's intentions.

The deceased's social circle had absolutely no connection with the perpetrator.

Forget about any conflict of interest, the deceased had never even met those people.

Through sketches and comparisons with information from Nevada, plus Shih Hung-fang's personal confirmation.

Mus's identity has been confirmed.

The most reasonable guess by the police at present.

The Hermit and Mus came to Thousand Flower City, preparing to recreate the Night of the Hunt in Neva in Thousand Flower.

Under Shi Hongfang's encouragement and pressure, the criminal investigation team decided to first investigate in the direction of the hermit.

This is also what was said above.

Few in power would like someone who judges other evil people based on their own personal sense of good and evil.

Or rather... I'm not afraid.

Even though Tian Hao had some doubts about Shi Hongfang's decision.

But he could not find any reason to refute this conjecture.

We had no choice but to follow the police's line of thought and investigate further.

However, while investigating, Tian Hao also asked Hai Tu to keep an eye on the movements of the Black Zone.

After all, the hermit's glorious deeds are there for all to see, even if those people verbally express disdain for him.

They will definitely be much more cautious in their actions.

"I came here today to discuss the commission."

Ai Liang picked up a cup of coffee and held it in her hand, but didn't drink it.

"Didn't I say that we can't possibly find anything in such a short time? The police still haven't figured out the motive..."

Hai Tu's complaint was interrupted by Ai Liang halfway through: "So, currently only Tian Hao suspects that this case wasn't the work of the Hermit?"

Sea Hare raised an eyebrow, but regained her composure in less than a second: "I didn't say that."

"You don't seem to have any other sources of intelligence with the police."

Ai Liang leisurely surveyed the equipment in the warehouse: "Hasn't the police already started pointing the finger at the Hermit in the case?"

Ai Liang's confident tone inevitably made Hai Tu feel somewhat embarrassed.

Since you already have other sources of intelligence, why would you spend money to hire me?

Do you think I came here to ask for a refund?
"I'm here not to urge you to continue your investigation, but to ask you to give up and borrow your computer. I have some things I want to pass on to the criminal investigation team."

Ai Liang put down her coffee and took a card reader out of her pocket.

Sea Hare looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Why did you suddenly stop investigating? There are no refunds here."

"For your own life's sake."

Ai Liang replied indifferently.

Sea Hare instantly tensed up: "Could this case involve some shady dealings again?"

The messenger's past is evident to all.

Now that he's involved, could it be related to some dirty secrets about high-ranking officials?
The sea hare guessed to itself.

"It's not that bad." Ai Liang shook her head.

The sea hare breathed a sigh of relief and planned to have a sip of coffee to ease its tension.

The second half of the sentence almost choked him to death.

"Most of the unsolved missing persons cases in Qianhua City can be applied to this case."

"Pfft, cough, cough cough, what's up... what did you say?"

With the mindset of visiting a grave, the sea hare asked again.

"This is a serial murder case, and many people have died at the hands of the killer. However, this time the victims are being displayed in a high-profile manner as 'exhibits'."

Sea Hare's eyes widened: "Have you already identified the culprit?"

We're in a complete mess here; apart from the surveillance video, we can't even see a single person.

You're telling me you've already identified the killer?
Is such high efficiency really necessary?

"The perpetrators were former members of the Neva City Cat's Eye Gang. They're still doing their old business at Thousand Flower. You're an intelligence officer, so I shouldn't need to introduce the Cat's Eye Gang too much."

The matter of the Apostles and the Mask was naturally something that Sea Hare couldn't discuss with her.

But the case of Cat's Eye killing someone and taking their organs is irrelevant.

As usual, Ai Liang planned to use subtle wording to gloss over the matter.

To be honest, but I only say what I can say.

He deliberately steers people's thoughts onto a crooked path that he has laid out in advance.

The deeper darkness hidden beneath the darkness is never mentioned.

"I know that a small-time intelligence broker like you can't be of much help, and I don't want to involve you in this."

There are some things I can't say over the phone, that's why I came here to tell you not to get involved in this."

Ai Liang had some understanding of Hai Tu's character.

This person isn't particularly bad; in most cases, he's willing to help Jin Ping'an and others investigate intelligence.

However, they become hesitant when it comes to major events.

For example, in the kidnapping case that Hu Yingshao had planned, he chose to remain silent from the beginning, blocked Jin Ping'an's phone number, and was unwilling to get involved.

To avoid endangering yourself and your family.

It wasn't until Gao Bin arrived and the case took a turn for the better that he managed to catch the last train.

In some ways, the sea hare and the messenger are quite similar.

They both have a younger sister whom they love dearly, and they both work for the police.

While watching the Messenger's award ceremony, Hai Tu even took the Messenger as a role model.

Unfortunately, he lacked the heroic qualities of a messenger.

After hearing the messenger's explanation, the sea hare made a very strange expression.

His cheeks lifted, and the corners of his mouth turned down, as if he were avoiding something, or perhaps he felt guilty.

As an information broker, he naturally knew about the Cat's Eye Gang.

At its peak, the Maoyan Gang was capable of supplying organ transplants to several cities around Nevada simultaneously.

Even considering organ rejection, they can perfectly meet the needs of the black market supply.

It's easy to imagine how many people they killed.

As Ai Liang said, for a small-time intelligence broker like himself to get involved in such a thing would undoubtedly be courting disaster.

Sea Hare pursed her lips tightly and asked after a long while, "Do you need me to help you deliver the things to the criminal investigation team?"

The dangers involved with Maoyanbang are self-evident.

Given his personality, he definitely wouldn't get involved blindly.

But Ai Liang's expression, which seemed to say, "I know you're a coward and don't dare to get involved in dangerous situations," deeply troubled his conscience and pride.

Ai Liang used the face of a messenger.

The messenger was, after all, the sea hare's idol.

The idol seemed to have no expectations of himself.

This deeply aroused the sea hare.

"No need, I will hand it over to them myself."

Ai Liang refused Hai Tu's offer to help without even thinking about it.

If Maoyan and Song Jie knew that this intelligence was sent by Hai Tu.

Even if he knows nothing about the content, others won't believe him.

If they can't find a messenger, how could they possibly be unable to deal with a mere intelligence broker like you?

"I've gathered some intelligence over this period. Besides warning you, I'm here to borrow your computer, is that alright?"

After Ai Liang finished speaking, without waiting for Hai Tu's reply, she walked across the sofa to the computer desk.

The sea rabbit was gestured to come over and enter the lock screen password.

Knowing the location of this secret base is one thing, but if they also know the computer password, the Sea Rabbits would probably be furious.

Under normal circumstances, Ai Liang does not read other people's memories and thoughts.

The sea hare hesitantly entered the password and turned on the computer.

Ai Liang skillfully inserted the card reader and brought up Notepad.

He began by recounting the intelligence he had obtained from Mus.

This includes matters related to Song Jie's collaboration with Maoyan.

Even though there are neither pictures nor videos, posting it in the group would definitely get me a lot of flak from the group members for saying, "You can't say anything without pictures."

However, Ai Liang still described the time, place, process and content of the collaboration from Mu Si's perspective.

In addition to the content of the discussions.

The criminal investigation team can confirm the other information with a little effort.

All that Ai Liang is doing now has not made Hai Tu shirk her responsibilities.

The kid stood next to Ai Liang, looking like he wanted to look but didn't dare to.

Just as he mustered the courage to look at the computer, Ai Liang's voice suddenly came: "I'm a little thirsty, would you mind getting me a glass of water?"

The other party's intention to get rid of him was so blatant that Hai Tu couldn't possibly miss the subtext.

"They gave me a deposit of five thousand yuan, but I can't offer anything in return. It's only right that I pour them a glass of water."

The sea hare breathed a sigh of relief, pouted as if to console itself, and walked towards the water dispenser.

After putting down his water glass, he sat on the sofa and never returned to his computer desk.

Fifteen minutes passed, and Ai Liang had listed out all the key information.

Ai Liang moved the mouse, saved the document to the memory card, and unplugged the card reader.

"Then we shall part ways here. For your own good, it's best not to tell anyone that I was ever here."

After saying that, Ai Liang walked towards the garage door.

"Wait a moment!"

The sea hare seemed to have something to say and tried to call out to Ai Liang.

But Ai Liang's steps did not stop because of this shout.

It's obvious she doesn't want to have anything to do with him.

To put it bluntly, Hai Tu is an acquaintance of Jin Ping'an, and the messenger has also cooperated with him.

But Ai Liang and he weren't familiar with each other.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time the two had met.

Is it possible to expect Ai Liang to sit down with him, drink and chat about current events?
In Ai Liang's eyes, the sea hare was just a tool.

I took a shower and went to bed around 2 a.m.

I woke up with a start! I checked my phone!

2:40, I lay down peacefully...

I woke up with a start! I checked my phone!

3:12, I lay down peacefully...

I woke up with a start! I checked my phone!

5:26, I lay down peacefully...

I woke up with a start again! I checked my phone!

At 6:32, I decided to lie down.

When I woke up from my last nap, I drew back the curtains, gazed at the setting sun, and fell into deep thought…
