The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

Xinhai, the Second Ring Road sentry post.

Security building.

The three-story security building is a rest area for guards at the east gate of the Second Ring Road, and is currently being blocked by a team of fully armed soldiers.

Wearing a brown windbreaker and a pair of brown sunglasses, Zhao Helei, deputy commander of the New Sea Defense Line, stood at the door of the security building, smoking a cigarette with a serious expression.

Xinhai built a total of three defense lines, all of which were high walls cast with steel, and then modified with various strange energy facilities and strange skeletons and flesh.

In recent years, not to mention strange disasters, even strange events are under control.

However, Zhao Helei did not expect that such a vicious case would occur on the Second Ring Road less than a month after he took office.

At first he thought that this was a strange incident and that the deaths of all 49 defense soldiers were caused by something strange.

But after an investigation, it was discovered that things were not as simple as imagined. No traces of strange energy were detected at the scene, and all surveillance cameras were hacked.

You should know that this is the association’s newly launched monitoring system, which is monitored 24 hours a day by the most advanced artificial intelligence.

Gui Neng definitely doesn't have the means to hack into the system, so it's clearly a human error.

However, after special inspection, it was found that the 49 guards in the security building were killed almost at the same time, no more than five minutes.

Who has the ability to take out the guards of a building in just a few minutes?
The captain of the association?
There is no point in them doing this, and there is no need for it. If someone from the guard team really offends the captain of the association, they can kill him with just a word, so there is no need to do it themselves.

"Could it be someone from Xinjing?" Zhao Helei suddenly thought that the exchange group from Xinjing would arrive in Xinhai in the next two days. Could it be that someone came early to show their power?

But this idea was rejected by Zhao Helei as soon as it came out. There was a sudden heavy rain a few days ago, which had a great impact on the exchange group. The association received news that their arrival would be delayed, so it was impossible for them to arrive so soon.

Who could that be?

Zhao Helei thought about it for a long time but couldn't find a clue. He had almost finished a pack of cigarettes. At this time, the forensic doctor and the captain of the first-ring guard team who was on duty came out to report.

"Commander Zhao, this is the investigation report of the security building. Please take a look." The captain of the guard team handed the compiled report and the photos taken at the scene to Zhao Helei.

Zhao Helei looked at the forensic doctor beside him and asked, "When will the autopsy report be available?"

"Before tomorrow night," the medical examiner replied.

Zhao Helei nodded and said to the captain of the guard team, "Ask the Third Ring Line Defense Team to compile a copy of the entry and exit records for the past two days and submit it to my office."

"Yes!"

Zhao Helei picked up the report and got into the car. He had only been in office for a month and had already encountered such a difficult case. It was hard not to suspect that it was aimed at him.

After working all day in the office in the outer city, it was almost eight o'clock when Zhao Helei came out of the office. He was thinking about where to go for dinner when he received a call from an old friend.

Jiang Chong is Zhao Helei's childhood friend, but because his parents are from Xinjing, he is not valued in Xinhai.

Zhao Helei found a job of deputy captain for Jiang Chong in the defense team because they grew up together. The boy also remembered him and would think of him whenever there was something good.

"Brother Zhao, are you busy? If not, come out and have fun. A friend of mine came to see me from Xinjing today, and I'd like to introduce him to you." Jiang Chong said straight to the point on the phone.

Zhao Helei was overwhelmed by the guard team case and wanted to refuse Jiang Chong's invitation, but then he thought that the case was very complicated and it would take some time to find the result, so he simply agreed to Jiang Chong.

Jiang Chong had booked a table at the most famous restaurant in the New Overseas City area. It was often hard to get a reservation there, and even some dignitaries from the inner city liked to frequent this place.

When Zhao Helei followed the waiter to the treasure chest, he found that in addition to Jiang Chong and his few "friends", there was also a stranger he had never seen before.

This man looked exactly like the type that the rich ladies in the inner city liked. The key point was that there were two girls who looked almost identical sitting on his left and right, serving him tea and water and massaging his shoulders and legs.

This appearance and style immediately left a deep impression on Zhao Helei, and he immediately realized that this person should be the "friend from Xinjing" mentioned by Jiang Chong.

"Wow, Brother Zhao, you are finally here. Come on, come on, sit down quickly. Let me introduce you. This is my friend from Xinjing, Shen Ge." Jiang Chong invited Zhao Helei into the private room. Except for Shen Ge, everyone else knew him, so he only introduced Shen Ge to him.

"My friend used to be a frontline soldier in the 12th Detachment. He later retired due to injury and turned to business. He runs a food processing factory in Xinjing. He came to Xinhai to discuss a business deal and happened to come to see me." Jiang Chong introduced to Zhao Helei enthusiastically.

"Shen Ge, this is Zhao Helei, my good brother who grew up with me. He was recently promoted to deputy commander of our defense team."

"Commander" is a position arranged by the New Sea Association, which is equivalent to the authority of the head of the guard regiment, but it is an independent position used to supervise the cadres of the guard regiment.

I don't know if this position was inspired by the "commander-in-chief" of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Although it is at the same level as the regiment commander, the actual power is greater.

Shen Ge stood up and shook hands with Zhao Helei, then handed him a business card from the food processing factory. "Commander Zhao, nice to meet you."

Although Zhao Helei is the deputy commander, Shen Ge did not use the word "deputy" in his title. After all, deputy-level cadres all want to be regular-level cadres.

Zhao Helei politely shook hands with Shen Ge. Anyone who can run a food-related business in the end times must be someone with a background.

Shen Ge's identity was handled by Yin Hu's Tiger Team. Even though Zhao Helei had all the means, he couldn't send anyone to Xinjing to find out Shen Ge's identity. Zhao Helei thought Jiang Chong was trying to help him get in touch with "upper class people", but he didn't know that Jiang Chong was actually part of the trap.

In fact, the hidden chess piece that Xinjing planted in Xinhai was not Jiang Chong, but his "retired" parents. However, Jiang Chong himself did not expect that he would inexplicably become a traitor to Xinhai.

"Shen Ge, my brother Zhao is a very prestigious figure in Xinhaiwai City. If you want to expand your business to Xinhai, as long as brother Zhao nods, the business will be secure!" Jiang Chong did not notice that Zhao Helei's mood was a little strange, and he kept bragging for him.

Zhao Helei was drunk after a few drinks, and he started complaining about the troubles he encountered today as the others talked: "Don't mention it. I encountered a difficult case today. If I don't solve it, I'm afraid I'll have to resign from my position as deputy commander after a month."

"What happened to Brother Zhao? Could there be any case that could stump you?" Jiang Chong asked in confusion.

Zhao Helei drank a glass of wine and told the case he encountered today: "Tell me, it's not weird, who can have such a great ability to kill forty-nine well-trained defense team soldiers in just a few minutes? This is obviously aimed at the defense team. If I can't handle it, how can I still sit in this position?"

The two sisters An An and Jing Jing, who were massaging Shen Ge's shoulders and legs, looked at each other and saw a helpless look in each other's eyes.

Obviously, the two sisters did not expect that they would run into the investigator who was investigating Shen Ge's case while coming out for a meal.

Shen Ge calmly picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He analyzed calmly, "In fact, there are clues to this case. According to Commander Zhao, forty-nine people died in the same period of time, with only a few minutes difference. So there are only two possibilities. One is that it was planned for a long time, and the other is that the opponent is strong enough to reach the level of 'captain level'."

"According to the defense team's investigation report, there have been no suspicious people or suspicious events recently, so we can rule out a long-planned plot. As for the other party's strength, Commander Zhao can start by investigating the exchange group that will soon arrive in Xinjing."

"I have some connections in Xinjing. According to my investigation, the Tiger Team of Xinjing's 12th Squadron recently appointed a new deputy captain. This man is very ruthless and good at assassination. The exchange group sent by Xinjing to Xinhai this time is, to put it nicely, to discuss cooperation issues between the two cities. To put it bluntly, it is here to call for punishment."

After listening to Shen Ge's analysis, besides Zhao Helei, the two sisters An An and Jing Jing were the most surprised. They couldn't understand why Shen Ge told Zhao Helei the whole process of his crime. Did he not take the other party seriously at all, or did he want the other party to find him?
Unable to figure it out, the two sisters simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the master must have his reasons for doing this, and the two sisters just need to act with him seriously.

"Send an army to hold him accountable?" Before Zhao Helei could say anything, Jiang Chongxian could not help himself. His thirst for gossip was burning, and he wanted to know what big things had happened between the two cities that they didn't know about.

Shen Ge briefly told the two of them what happened at the granary base in the form of "town gossip". Since this matter was of great importance, Zhao Helei only heard some rumors, while Jiang Chong had never heard of it.

"Are you serious, Brother Shen?" Zhao Helei asked solemnly.

Shen Ge nodded. "My former buddy from the 12th Detachment told me this. He happened to be involved in the rescue operation of the granary base. It is said that the exchange group sent by Xinjing this time escorted several spies sent by Xinhai. I guess Xinjing has bad intentions this time. The loss of a granary base will definitely not be let go, so they arranged for a captain-level expert to show their power first."

Zhao Helei pondered and said, "But according to the latest intelligence from the liaison group, the exchange group encountered a heavy rainstorm, and it will take at least two or three days to reach Xinhai."

"Just because the convoy has difficulty moving doesn't mean that any individual will be affected. It's actually quite simple to verify whether my guess is correct. Commander Zhao, the closest to the East Gate of the Second Ring Road is the East Gate of the Third Ring Road. You just need to check the entry and exit records for that day and check the people who entered and exited that day. Maybe you can find the murderer."

"Anyway, based on the information you have summarized, this incident was most likely done by the newly appointed deputy captain. You can continue your investigation along this line." Shen Ge said confidently.

Zhao Helei thought about it and agreed. If this was a long-planned plan, there would definitely be some clues left over these days.

After a day of investigation today, I found that the 49 guards who died in the battle had no grudges or hatred, and their behavior in the past week was very normal. It could only be a surprise attack.

Then according to Shen Ge, the wisest choice would be to check the entry and exit records of the day to see if there are any suspicious people in Xinjing.

Zhao Helei raised his glass to Shen Ge and said, "Brother Shen's analysis has opened my eyes. If this case is solved as Brother Shen said, please let me know if you run into any trouble in Xinhai in the future. I will definitely handle it for you."

"Then I'd like to thank Commander Zhao first!" Shen Ge raised his glass and clinked it with the other party.

The reason why he gave advice to Zhao Helei was because he had asked Xiao Qi to do something when he hacked into the defense team's command and control room.

When Zhao Helei went back to check the entry and exit records, he not only failed to find Shen Ge, but instead found the information of another captain who had a feud with the Tiger Team.

As long as Zhao Helei is careful enough, he can follow this line to find the relevant clues left by Shen Ge in the security building and confirm that the captain is the "murderer".

At that time, Zhao Helei will definitely report the matter to the association. Xinjing wants to hold Xinhai accountable for taking the granary base, and Xinhai will also use this incident to hold Xinjing accountable.

Both sides will never easily compromise with each other on this issue. In the end, the bigger the quarrel, the more beneficial it will be for Shen Ge's actions in Xinhai.

Zhao Helei wanted to find out more information about the 12th Detachment from Shen Ge, and Shen Ge also took advantage of Zhao Helei to enter the inner city area. The two sides hit it off and started talking completely. After a while, he and Jiang Chong started to "become brothers".

"Brother Shen came to our Xinhai to develop, it's a blessing for our Xinhai. Drinking here, drinking here is not enough. I'll treat you later. Let's go to the inner city district, the most famous club in the inner city district. Okay, let's have another drink!" Zhao Helei had drunk so much that his tongue was a little tied, but he was still forcing himself to invite Shen Ge to the inner city district for another drink.

When Jiang Chong heard that they were going to have two drinking parties at the most famous Blue Die Club in the inner city, and that Zhao Helei was the host, he immediately agreed with his friends.

When the group came out of the restaurant, Zhao Helei immediately called a few cars and sent them to the inner city area.

With Zhao Helei's facial recognition card, the inspection for entering the inner city area was naturally relaxed a lot, allowing Shen Ge, an outsider, to successfully enter without even undergoing inspection.

When they arrived at the Landie Club, the receptionist at the door saw that it was the newly appointed deputy commander. He immediately came forward to greet him with a smile and arranged for a group of beautiful women to serve him.

Zhao Helei hugged two girls on his left and right, pointing at the two sisters An An and Jing Jing who were supporting Shen Ge and said, "These two girls are no good. They are pretty, but they have no taste. Brother Shen, listen to me. Women must be charming enough. The more charming they are, the better their skills are. So, how do you say that?"

Seeing Zhao Helei looking at him, Jiang Chong raised his hand and patted the soft buttocks beside him and laughed: "Order business Daji, be the box king Zhou, come, come, jump up, show Brother Shen how our sister Daji from Xinhai City serves King Zhou!"

A group of beautiful women in ancient costumes performed a very provocative classical dance, which made Jiang Chong's friends drool. (End of this chapter)
