"Really?" Zhou Wenjun raised a confident smile. "Adam, the game has just begun, don't jump to conclusions. Remember, the outcome is uncertain until the last moment."
As Zhou Wenjun finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense, as if an invisible war had already begun. The commandos performed their duties and went all out, and the duel between Zhou Wenjun and Adam became the most critical part of this battle.
"I will watch how you step into the trap I set step by step." Adam looked at Zhou Wenjun provocatively. Although his hands were handcuffed, his ruthlessness was still strong.
Zhou Wenjun stared back at him without showing any weakness, and said firmly: "So are we, Adam. No matter what traps you set, we will break them one by one, because we are here to protect this city and every innocent life."
The team members confirmed the safety of the scene and prepared to transfer Adam and related evidence. Zhou Wenjun took a deep breath and ordered into the communicator: "Attention everyone, prepare to transfer the suspect, strengthen the protection of the scene, and wait for further investigation instructions."
"Understood!" All the team members answered in unison. Everyone knew that this was just a small stage in their long battle. The real test had just begun.
【832】The turning point has come. Is this the answer you want to give me?
"Adam, you don't have to act so arrogant. You and I both know that no matter how hard you struggle, you can't change the established facts." Zhou Wenjun responded calmly, his eyes revealing a firm determination. "Now, you have two choices. One is to continue to resist and finally accept the severe punishment of the law in the face of overwhelming evidence. The other is to choose to cooperate, provide valuable information, and strive for a chance of leniency."
Adam frowned. Apparently Zhou Wenjun's words had touched some concerns in his heart. He was silent for a moment, then sneered, "Do you think I'm really afraid of death? To tell you the truth, I'm ready to die, but before that, I want to let you see your own powerlessness and plunge this city into panic."
Zhou Wenjun was not affected by Adam's threats. He said calmly, "Your so-called 'panic' will only make our team more united and more determined to fight against the evil forces hiding in the dark like you. Your so-called 'greater conspiracy' will only awaken the citizens' desire for justice and their support for our work."
At this time, the bomb disposal expert reported to the 13th radio: "Captain Zhou, the scene has been checked and there are no other explosives. The suspect can be transferred safely."
Zhou Wenjun responded: "Got it. While ensuring the suspect's safe transfer, pay attention to his abnormal behavior to prevent him from causing trouble on the way."
The team members acted quickly. Although Adam was stubborn, he couldn't help but secretly observe Zhou Wenjun's expression while being taken away, trying to find a flaw or fear in it. However, Zhou Wenjun remained fearless, and his resolute eyes were like a mirror, reflecting Adam's inner panic and struggle.
"Adam, if you really care about this city, you should stand up and expose those behind the scenes instead of becoming their scapegoat." Zhou Wenjun left this sentence before Adam was taken into the car.
Adam was stunned. He looked at Zhou Wenjun's eyes full of faith, and his words echoed in his ears, and his heart could not help but ripple. Just as the car door was about to close, he suddenly said: "I... I do know something, but I need protection."
Zhou Wenjun heard this and nodded imperceptibly. He knew that this contest had just begun, and Adam's change of attitude undoubtedly provided them with a new breakthrough to uncover the mastermind behind the scenes.
"We will protect your safety and respect your rights," Zhou Wenjun promised, then turned to the team members and gave them an order, "Do a good job of handing over, make sure the suspect arrives at the detention center smoothly, and notify our superiors that we need to interrogate Adam further."
"Understood!" the team members responded in unison.
On the way to the detention center, the police car sped along, and the atmosphere inside the car was oppressive and tense. Adam sat in the back seat, handcuffs tightly bound his wrists, but the expression on his face was no longer as arrogant and resolute as before, but more hesitant and struggling.
"Captain Zhou, will you really protect me?" Adam looked at Zhou Wenjun behind the driver's seat, his voice low but with a barely perceptible pleading.
Zhou Wenjun turned around, his eyes firm and sincere, "I assure you with my badge and my duty that as long as you are willing to cooperate, we will absolutely do our best to protect your safety and safeguard your rights and interests in accordance with the law."
“可是……”亚当欲言又止,似乎内心 輑;9&3_8)4)⑸0[9;2-5@ 正在经历一场激烈的斗争。
"I know you have concerns, but you have to understand that this city is our home, and everyone has the responsibility to protect it from harm." Zhou Wenjun said earnestly, "Every clue you provide may bring us one step closer to the truth, and may also save more innocent people from harm."
Adam lowered his head in silence. After a while, he raised his head with a complex light flashing in his eyes. "Okay, I will tell you everything I know, but I have one condition."
"You say." Zhou Wenjun responded without hesitation. He knew that at this critical juncture, any possible breakthrough could not be missed.
"I ask you to ensure that my family will not be implicated." Adam's eyes were firm, "They are innocent."
Zhou Wenjun thought for a moment, then nodded, "As long as they are not involved, we will protect them according to the law."
Adam breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this answer, and then he began to slowly tell Zhou Wenjun and the team members some inside information he knew, which made Zhou Wenjun and the team members listen very attentively, and their hearts were filled with anticipation and excitement for the upcoming interrogation.
As the police car drove into the gate of the detention center, a battle between justice and evil was about to reach a new climax. And Adam's choice might become the key turning point to uncover the whole conspiracy.
In the detention center, in a special interrogation room, the lights were dim and soft, trying to create a relaxing but not oppressive atmosphere. Zhou Wenjun sat opposite Adam, with a wooden table between them. Surrounding him were several professional interrogators, each holding a recording pen, waiting with bated breath for Adam's confession.
What I know is that it is a huge organization that has woven a huge network in the dark corners of the city, and the scope of involvement is much wider than you can imagine. Adam's voice is low and powerful, as if he is talking about a long-hidden past.
How do they control everything? What is their purpose? Who are their members? Zhou Wenjun pressed on step by step, and each question went straight to the core.
Adam did not show fear or avoidance, but seemed more calm: "Although I am involved, I am just a pawn, and I don't know the specific information of many high-level officials. But I can tell you their transaction chain, hiding place, and a major action plan in the near future."
The atmosphere in the interrogation room became increasingly tense. Zhou Wenjun stared at Adam closely, nodded slightly to show encouragement, and motioned for him to continue.
Their next target is an important public facility, and they plan to create a large-scale chaos to achieve their evil purpose. When Adam said this, a painful and helpless expression appeared on his face.
We will take immediate action to stop their plot. We have made corresponding arrangements for the safety of your family. As long as the information you provide is true and valid, we will do our best to ensure their safety. Zhou Wenjun promised, his words full of unquestionable determination.
Adam's anxiety eased a little after hearing that. He took a deep breath and began to describe in detail the organization's operating model and the details of the action plan he knew. Every sentence was like a piece of a puzzle, gradually filling in the gaps in the case.
At the end of the interrogation, Zhou Wenjun patted Adam on the shoulder and said meaningfully: Thank you for making the right choice, for yourself and for this city. Remember, justice may be late, but it is never absent.
Adam looked at Zhou Wenjun. Although his hands were still bound, his eyes revealed an unprecedented firmness: "I understand, Captain Zhou. I hope that our efforts can truly restore peace to this city."
Outside the interrogation room, night has quietly fallen, and a battle to defend justice has begun because of Adam's transformation.
【833】The ghost's surrender: You win, I admit defeat
At this critical moment, Zhou Wenjun walked out of the interrogation room and immediately called all team members to an emergency meeting to sort out and analyze the information provided by Adam. They raced against time to deploy an action plan to prevent and counterattack the organization's upcoming attack.
We must get ahead of them and eliminate the hidden dangers in the facility. We must also collect as much evidence as possible to completely destroy this gang hiding in the dark. Zhou Wenjun ordered firmly.
After receiving the order, the team members quickly took action. At the same time, Zhou Wenjun contacted relevant departments through internal channels and coordinated together to form a tight safety protection network.
On the other hand, Adam was alone in a solitary room in the detention center, facing his inner torment. He knew that he had made a wrong choice in the past, and now all he could do was to try his best to make up for it and wash away the stain of the past with practical actions.
Late at night, outside the interrogation room, Zhou Wenjun glimpsed Adam through the window. His back looked lonely and determined. Zhou Wenjun whispered to his colleagues: "Sometimes, the transformation of one person is enough to change the fate of an entire city."7
The next morning, a team of Jingcha commandos followed the clues provided by Adam and accurately located the secret base of the organization. After a fierce battle, they successfully destroyed the base and arrested a number of important suspects.
At this time, Adam, who was in the detention center, learned the news of the success of the operation through special channels, and his tense face finally showed a relieved smile.
Captain Zhou, it seems I made the right choice. Adam looked at the police officer who came to inform him of the news and whispered.
Adam, your decision is crucial. But this is just the beginning. Next, we need your help to uncover all the secrets of this organization. Zhou Wenjun looked at him seriously and trustingly through the video call.
I understand, Captain Zhou. I will do my best to make up for the mistakes I made. Adam responded with a firm look.
The lights in the interrogation room are still dim, but the story has entered a new chapter. Adam has transformed from a criminal who once tried to disrupt the city's order to an important informant fighting alongside the police. The team led by Zhou Wenjun is moving forward courageously towards the goal of uncovering a bigger conspiracy in this twists and turns of the plot.
So, Adam, can you tell me now who their leader is? Zhou Wenjun looked directly at Adam on the screen. This question was like a sharp sword, pointing to the core of the conspiracy.
Adam took a deep breath. He knew that the real showdown had just begun...
Their leader, Adam, had complex emotions in his eyes. He spoke slowly, as if recalling a memory buried deep in his heart, "It was a man called 'Mr. Shadow'. His true identity is extremely secretive, but when I joined the organization, I had the honor of meeting him once. He was an impressive man, calm, cunning, and tough. He had an almost pathological pursuit of power and was the soul of the entire organization.'々"
When Zhou Wenjun heard the name, a trace of solemnity flashed across his brows. He immediately recorded this key information, and then asked in a deep voice: "Can you describe his characteristics in detail? Or, does he have any special habits or iconic objects?"
Adam closed his eyes and tried to recall. "He has a mole under his left eye. It's very small and hard to spot unless you look closely. In addition, he always wears a ring with a unique pattern engraved on it. The ring seems to be a token of some kind of family inheritance. I once heard about it from a member. As for his habits, he likes to burn spices alone in his study when making decisions. The fragrance is very special, like a mixture of various herbs. It smells mysterious and disturbing."
Zhou Wenjun nodded and signaled Adam to continue to provide more information. He knew that every clue could be the key to their defeat of this organization. yue霏qun59Ⅲo21_909# "Do you remember where he was most active? Or where he might be hiding?"
Adam thought for a moment and replied, "He once mentioned an old house on the outskirts of the city. It is heavily guarded and only a very small number of core members know of its existence. I think that may be his hiding place, and it is also the key for us to find him and even destroy this organization."
After hearing this, Zhou Wenjun's eyes revealed a firm determination: "Okay, Adam, you've done a good job. Next, we will formulate a detailed action plan based on the clues you provided. I hope you can maintain your current determination and help us end this dark battle together."
Adam nodded heavily, his face full of determination: "Captain Zhou, I have no way to retreat, only to move forward. For this city, for those who have suffered because of me, I am willing to pay any price until justice is served."
Zhou Wenjun patted Adam on the shoulder. Although it was only through the screen, the strength and trust he conveyed to Adam were extremely real. "You are not fighting alone. All of us will stand by you to fight against this 'Mr. Shadow' and his organization. As for the old house, we will arrange personnel to investigate as soon as possible. At the same time, we will use all resources to investigate the origin of the ring to see if we can find more information about the true identity of 'Mr. Shadow'."
"Also, regarding the habit of burning spices, this may be a breakthrough for us to track his whereabouts." Zhou Wenjun quickly recorded the information provided by Adam and analyzed, "This special smell should leave traces within a certain range. Our sniffer dogs and chemical experts may be able to make a breakthrough in this regard."
Adam raised his lips slightly, praising Zhou Wenjun's keen insight. "Yes, I remember that the scent was indeed very unique. If we can find the source of the same smell in the city, we may be able to find his hiding place."
"Very good, Adam. Your contribution is crucial." Zhou Wenjun's tone was gentle but powerful. "Please believe that we will make all of this public and let the sun dispel all the darkness."
Adam's eyes flashed with determination, "Captain Zhou, I am waiting for your good news. As long as I am alive, I will do my best to cooperate with your work until this city regains peace."
【834】A real big operation, the whole Hong Kong Island is in action
Just as Zhou Wenjun was about to ask for more details, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly knocked, and a police officer hurried in with a piece of intelligence information he had just received. He handed the file to Zhou Wenjun and reported in a low voice: "Captain, we have tracked several communication records that may be related to 'Mr. Shadow' through technical means. One of them mentioned a place code-named 'Dark Night Manor', which is suspected to be consistent with the old house in the suburbs that Adam mentioned."
Zhou Wenjun quickly browsed the intelligence data, his expression becoming more serious. He looked at Adam on the screen and said, "Adam, it looks like we have found new clues. This 'Dark Night Manor' may be the target we are looking for. We need you to further confirm this place and its specific location."
Adam frowned and thought about it. After a moment, he nodded. "Dark Night Manor... I have a vague impression of this name. Although I don't hold a high position in the organization, I have heard that it is an extremely hidden and heavily guarded stronghold. It is located on the edge of a long-abandoned forest on the outskirts of the city, and usually no one sets foot there."
Zhou Wenjun immediately instructed the police officer beside him to enter this information into the system, and arranged the next action plan: "Attention all team members, we now have a clear target - Dark Night Manor. Immediately initiate all-round surveillance of the area, and simultaneously check all suspicious people and vehicles nearby. Adam, you must also be ready to set off at any time to identify the scene."
Adam nodded in agreement. He understood that this was a battle of life and death, and also an important opportunity for him to redeem himself. He said, "Captain Zhou, I am always on call. As long as I can help you, I will not hesitate."
The lights in the interrogation room reflected on the determined faces of the two men. Zhou Wenjun once again expressed his gratitude and encouragement to Adam: "Adam, you have taken the first step to change your destiny. I believe that with our joint efforts, we will be able to tear off the disguise of 'Mr. Shadow' and make him nowhere to hide. Now, let us work together to fight for justice."
As Zhou Wenjun finished speaking, the atmosphere in the interrogation room became more tense and heated. Adam's eyes became more determined. He knew that a decisive battle was about to begin, and he would be an indispensable part of this battle.
"Captain Zhou, no matter what awaits us ahead, I am ready." Adam responded firmly, his voice echoing in the empty interrogation room, full of determination and courage.
The conversation came to an abrupt end at this moment, but a new action was already imminent, waiting for an order to cut a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating the way to the truth. And this is just the beginning of a new chapter of the story, more challenges and unknowns are waiting for Zhou Wenjun and his team, as well as Adam, who once went astray and now vows to turn over a new leaf.

Zhou Wenjun's eyes shone when he heard this, and he quickly stood up from his seat. He turned to Adam and said seriously, "Adam, it seems that they have noticed our movements. We must act immediately. Can you determine the specific route to enter the manor?"
Adam stared at the map in his hand, his fingers gently sliding over the complex terrain lines, recalling some fragmentary information he had heard when he was under "Mr. Shadow". After a moment, he raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination: "I remember a little-known path that can directly bypass the outer defense system and reach the interior of the manor."
Zhou Wenjun made the decision without hesitation: "Okay, let's follow this route. Everyone, please pay attention. Cancel the full surveillance and switch to a surprise operation. Adam will go with me, and the others will act separately according to the predetermined plan. We must control the manor before the enemy reacts."
Adam nodded, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that this operation was not just about assisting the police, but also a life-and-death test of self-salvation. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes firm: "Captain Zhou, I will do my best to cooperate with you, to make up for the mistakes of the past, and to regain the lost dignity."
The air in the interrogation room seemed to freeze, and an invisible sense of urgency spread. Zhou Wenjun took one last look at Adam, took a deep breath, waved his hand, and ordered: "Let's go!"
The night was as dark as ink, and the police cars rushed into the darkness of the suburbs. The fleet rushed like a cheetah, rushing straight to the "Dark Night Manor" hidden at the edge of the forest. Zhou Wenjun and Adam were in the center of the storm, welcoming the coming storm together. Their fates were closely linked at this moment, not only to unveil the mystery of "Mr. Shadow", but also to protect the justice and faith deep in their hearts.
"Captain Zhou, I'm ready." Adam's voice echoed in the car. Although it was slightly trembling, it was full of fearless determination.
"Me too, Adam." Zhou Wenjun responded. Through the car window, he stared at the vague outline of the manor in the distance. "Let us face it together, no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is."
Before he finished speaking, the wheels rolled up a cloud of dust and carried them to an unknown battlefield. All that was left in the interrogation room was silence and the light of justice that was about to bloom in the darkness.
【835】让我们一起揭开这个 860)7$3>80*⒋5-小说群 秘密吧!
As the convoy approached the "Dark Night Manor", Zhou Wenjun kept communicating with the team members through the vehicle communication system to confirm the location and status, while Zhou Xingxing described the environment layout around the manor in detail to help formulate a more accurate raid plan. The forest was silent under the moonlight, and only the roar of the convoy's engines broke the silence, foreshadowing that a fierce confrontation was about to take place.
The "Dark Night Manor" gradually became clear. The towering walls, dense barbed wire and patrolling guards all showed that the defense here was strict and should not be underestimated. Zhou Wenjun stared at the image of the manor in the night vision goggles and issued an order: "Attention, all teams, keep radio silence, and act according to the predetermined plan."
Zhou Xingxing's heartbeat gradually accelerated. He knew that every step forward was crucial. If he was not careful, not only would the mission fail, but everyone's lives might be at stake. He took a deep breath and whispered to Zhou Wenjun, "There is an abandoned watchtower not far ahead. We can use it as a breakthrough point to avoid most surveillance."
Zhou Wenjun nodded slightly and gave an affirmative look: "Very good, Zhou Xingxing, your guidance is very important to us. Commando follow me, the rest of you stay where you are and wait for our signal."
With the help of the jungle, Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Xingxing led the commando team to quietly approach the watchtower. Zhou Xingxing skillfully untied the vines wrapped around the iron fence and climbed up silently, followed by Zhou Wenjun. When they reached the top of the tower, they found that the main building of the manor and the surrounding defense facilities were in full view.
"Did you see it?" Zhou Xingxing pointed to a bush in the shadows in the distance, "That's the path leading to the interior of the manor. Once we pass through here, we can reach the core area of the manor."
Zhou Wenjun quickly passed this information to other team members, and then said to Zhou Xingxing: "Let's go. Remember, all actions must be quick and accurate. Don't give them any chance to counterattack."
The two sneaked along the narrow and rugged path, and behind them, the commandos followed closely like ghosts. As they got closer and closer to the manor, Zhou Xingxing's heartbeat quickened, but he knew that he could not retreat at this moment and had to move forward bravely.
"Prepare to break through!" Zhou Wenjun lowered his voice and gave the order. In an instant, the commandos rushed out of the bushes like arrows from a bow and headed straight for the main building of the manor.
The tranquility of "Dark Night Manor" was instantly broken, alarms sounded, gunfire rang out, and a fierce duel began. Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Xingxing led the team members in this dangerous battlefield, step by step approaching the truth and bravely moving towards the other side of justice.
"Captain Zhou, we are not far from success!" Zhou Xingxing tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, with a fiery fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
Zhou Wenjun turned around and nodded firmly, his eyes equally resolute: "Zhou Xingxing, you did a great job. Now comes the final crucial step. Listen to my orders, we will split into two groups, one to attract enemy firepower, and the other to directly break into the main building and seize the target."
The commandos were well prepared, and after hearing Zhou Wenjun's instructions, they quickly acted according to the established plan. Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Xingxing led a team, and they were like wolves and tigers in the dark, with agile and fierce movements, as if they had merged into the night.
····Request flowers0···
Bang! Bang! Gunshots rang out in the night sky, and the lights in the manor suddenly lit up. The enemy's counterattack was fierce and orderly, but the team led by Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Xingxing cleverly avoided head-on conflict with precise tactical arrangements and successfully distracted the enemy's attention.
Commando Group A, you have attracted enough firepower, now it's up to us, Group B! Zhou Wenjun whispered the order through the intercom, and rushed to the main building's gate first.
Got it, Captain! The team members responded from the other end of the intercom, nervous but full of determination.
............
Zhou Xingxing followed closely behind Zhou Wenjun, and the two broke into the house through the window. The scene in front of them made them more alert - the corridor was full of surveillance cameras, and it seemed that there might be enemies hiding in every corner. However, Zhou Xingxing, relying on his familiarity with the manor, quickly found and cracked the control room of the surveillance system, temporarily cutting off the enemy's sight.
We are now unobstructed, let's go get the target! Zhou Xingxing whispered excitedly, the dagger in his hand flashing coldly in the weak light.
Zhou Wenjun nodded, and the two of them worked in perfect harmony, rushing straight to the secret room on the top floor as if they were in an empty space. The door slowly opened in front of them, and what was hidden inside would be the key to victory or failure in this battle.
5⑨(302190:⑼) "No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we must move forward courageously." Zhou Wenjun took a deep breath, held the door handle, and gave Zhou Xingxing a firm look.
Yes, Captain, let's uncover this secret together! Zhou Xingxing also responded with a firm gaze, and the weapon in his hand reflected a resolute light.
【836】Victory or defeat, it is decided from this moment on
The two of them pushed the door open together, and a gust of cold air hit them. The room was dark and mysterious, with only a faint light illuminating a safe in the center. Zhou Wenjun quickly walked towards the safe, while Zhou Xingxing was responsible for guarding the surroundings to prevent the enemy from suddenly appearing.
Zhou Wenjun skillfully manipulated the tools in his hands, trying to open the safe. Every rotation and every tap was like plucking the strings of fate, nervous and full of expectation. Finally, the safe made a slight click and slowly opened.
"Found it!" Zhou Wenjun cheered in a low voice and took out a sealed document bag from the safe. The mark on the document bag "273" confirmed their guess, which was exactly the goal of their trip - to reveal the criminal evidence behind "Dark Night Manor".
"We have to leave here quickly!" Zhou Xingxing reminded, keenly aware of the changes in the surrounding atmosphere, as if the enemy's counterattack would come at any time.
"Understood!" Zhou Wenjun responded without hesitation. The two of them stood back to back and carefully returned along the original route. At this time, the gunfire in the manor became more intense. It was obvious that the members of Group A were doing their best to resist the enemy's counterattack.
"Assault Team A, we have obtained the target object and are ready to evacuate!" Zhou Wenjun informed his teammates through the intercom, his voice calm and firm.
"Got it, Captain. We'll pick you up at the east exit!" The voice of the leader of Group A came from the other end of the intercom. Although it sounded a little tired, it was full of strength.
Zhou Wenjun and Zhou Xingxing walked through the corridor, passed through layers of obstacles, and rushed all the way to the agreed east exit. They saw that the members of Group A were stubbornly resisting the besieged enemies, buying precious time for their evacuation.
"We are here!" Zhou Wenjun shouted, holding a document bag, and rushed to the weak point of the enemy's defense line. Zhou Xingxing followed closely behind, the dagger in his hand was like the sickle of the god of death, drawing deadly arcs in the darkness.
