"Hahahaha, you're really brave, kid! I didn't make a mistake about you! Even though you didn't even turn on the safety just now."

Li Muhan coughed after being slapped by him, so he could only keep reminding him to drive well.

"Why did you kid think of pulling out a gun?"

"Didn't you, the captain, wink at me and tell me to take action?"

"Ah? What I mean is that after I do it, you start the car first so that we can run away immediately."

Li Muhan was speechless. It turned out that he had misunderstood Huo Tian's meaning.

But judging from the results, Li Muhan obviously handed over an answer of 120 points.

Even Yin Qi said calmly.

"well done."

Then they talked about the case again. Li Muhan thought he had to go back to the bureau first, but Huo Tian made a big circle and found a secluded place to park the car near the entrance on the other side of the old street.

"Are you going to go back and fight back?"

Li Muhan asked.

"It's useless if you don't find any evidence."

Huo Tiandian took out a cigarette box and handed one to Li Muhan, but Li Muhan said he didn't smoke.

"Okay, get out of the car. Madam needs to change."

"Huh? Oh oh."

Li Muhan understood instantly, but he didn't seem to understand why he needed to change clothes.

It was already 7 o'clock in the evening, and winter nights always come quickly.

Li Muhan and Huo Tian leaned against the wall not far from the car. Huo Tian lit a cigarette, exhaled comfortably, looked at Li Muhan and handed the cigarette box over.

"Have one?"

"Don't smoke."

"Okay, why are you pretending? You want to leave a good impression in front of the girl. I understand. It's just the two of us."

"Captain, I'm so stupid."

Li Muhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then he was laughed at by Hao.

"I'm just cherishing my life. Who says that if you don't smoke, you're useless? You just said you were right."

"For the occasion, I want to help you gain a good impression in front of the girl. How about it? Which one do you like, Tao Zi or Xiao Yin? Do you want me to give it to you..."

Seeing that Huo Tian was talking more and more nonsense, Li Muhan quickly asked him to stop and then brought the topic back to the case.

"Do you think it's Zhou Zhiguo?"

Li Muhan asked Huo Tian, ​​but Huo Tian threw the question back to Li Muhan.

"What do you think?"

"I think, well, it's hard to say. He gives me the impression that he is an honest and friendly middle-aged man, but you can't judge people by their superficial appearance, but there doesn't seem to be anything suspicious in his family."

"indeed."

The atmosphere fell into silence again.

Huo Tian was squatting by the wall, smoking one cigarette after another. Li Muhan noticed that he seemed to be looking at something, so when he got closer, he saw that it was a necklace pendant.

The lid of the pendant was open, revealing a photo.

"Handsome?"

Huo Tian suddenly turned around and looked at Li Muhan.

"what?"

"This is my son. Isn't he handsome?"

Huo Tian proudly showed the photo in the pendant to Li Muhan.

Li Muhan saw a photo of a young man in police uniform. He had a tall stature and a heroic look, the kind of image that one would find great and glorious in a typical story.

"Handsome, and looks righteous."

"Hey, of course, he's my son."

Having said that, Huo Tian took another deep puff of cigarette.

"If he can continue to be a police officer, he will definitely become a chief in the future."

Li Muhan knew that the boy in the photo would never be a policeman again, and his life would forever remain stuck in the past five years.

"team leader."

Li Muhan squatted beside Huo Tian.

"Is this why you joined the Special Management Bureau?"

Huo Tian did not answer, but just stared at the pendant in his hand and looked at the child in the photo.

After a long while, he finally answered the question irrelevantly.

"After the child got into trouble, his mother divorced me. That period was the most painful time in my life. I carried a gun and ran to Zhou Zhiguo's house every day. I was warned many times, but the last time, I couldn't help it and shot him in the leg."

Having said that, Huo Tian smiled bitterly.

"I have worn the police uniform for decades, and it was taken off just like that."

"Then the Special Management Bureau came after you?"

Huo Tian nodded.

"Director Lin came to see me in person. The first thing she said when she saw me was to apologize for not being able to find the real murderer of my child. I was very angry at that time, so I drove her out."

When Li Muhan thought of Lin Ze being kicked out of the house, he wanted to laugh, but due to the current atmosphere, he held it back.

“Hahahaha, you have no idea what Director Lin’s expression was like at that time.”

As a result, it was Huo Tian who laughed.

"She came three times and I chased her away three times. The fourth time, she kicked my door open. It was a thick security door, but with her thin arms and legs, she kicked it open. Then guess what she said to me."

"What?"

"Three visits to my thatched cottage should be enough, isn't it? It's sincere enough!"

"Hahahahahaha."

This time Li Muhan couldn't help laughing along.

"Then Director Lin dragged me directly to the headquarters of the Special Management Bureau, and then introduced the situation of the Special Management Bureau to me and asked me if I would like to join. In fact, what she did was against the rules. I had not expressed my intention to join the Special Management Bureau, so I should not have gone to the headquarters."

"It seems that she violated the rules in my case this time as well."

"Director Lin is a good person. She gave me hope for rebirth."

"She gave you a chance to avenge your son?"

After hearing Li Muhan's words, Huo Tian was stunned for a moment, then he closed the pendant lid with a click, then turned around and blew a puff of smoke towards Li Muhan.

"The pattern, the pattern is open, your pattern is small. At the beginning, I did join the Special Management Bureau with the mentality of revenge, but in these five years of work, I know how important the Special Management Bureau is to the survival of mankind."

"Captain, have you been brainwashed?"

"Fuck you, you little brat don't know anything. I don't know where you got your demonic power, but I can guarantee that if you accept that training, you will be the first one to be eliminated."

Li Muhan understood that if humans wanted to have the power to fight alien species, they must withstand inhuman tests.

And it seemed that he awakened the demonic power of Baal only after being beaten half to death by Zhao Qiankun.

It is indeed unfair to people like Huo Tian to say this.

"Boy, you really don't want to consider joining the Special Management Bureau?"

"I am not doing an internship with you, am I?"

"No, I can see that you won't join now."

Huo Tian stared at Li Muhan's eyes, and Li Muhan felt that he seemed to see through his thoughts.

That’s right, Li Muhan has no intention of joining. He just wants to learn more about the Special Management Bureau’s way of doing things so that it will be easier for him to deal with them in the future. He doesn’t want to become a dog that is tied up by someone.

"Alright, alright."

Huo Tian slowly stood up.

"A child like you shouldn't step into this world where there is no return."

Li Muhan also stood up, but just as he was about to ask something, he heard the sound of a car door closing behind him.

Li Muhan looked back and saw that Su Xue had taken off her black suit and trousers, put on a sportswear that was easy for movement, and was carrying a guitar case behind her.

She was wearing a woolen hat on her head and a mask on her face. Li Muhan almost didn't recognize her for a moment.

Yin Qi was dressed similarly, but she didn't say much. She walked to Huo Tian, ​​raised her finger, pointed at the watch on her wrist and said.

"At 19:35, I went in."

"Go."

Huo Tian was still smoking and just nodded. Yin Qi put on a mask and walked into the old street alone.

"Captain, Brother Mu Han, I'm leaving first."

Su Xue waved to the two of them and walked into the old street.

"What are they going to do?"

Li Muhan asked as he looked at the two people disappearing into the night.

"Everyone does his job."

Huo Tian seemed to have answered Li Muhan's question, but also seemed not to have answered it.

At this moment, Li Muhan's cell phone rang.

"Just answer it, I might not be able to answer the phone later."

Huo Tian threw away the cigarette butt, lit up a new one and said.

Li Muhan picked up the phone and looked at it, and immediately frowned.

Because the caller ID clearly showed Gu Ruoxi's mother's number.

"Hi, Auntie."

"Xiaohan, aunt is asking you, what's going on with Xiaoxi."

Gu Ruoxi's mother sounded very anxious on the phone, as if she already knew about Gu Ruoxi's disappearance.

"You already know?"

"The police called me and asked if we could contact Xiaoxi. We called her mobile phone, looked for her on WeChat, and called the school, but we couldn't find anyone."

"Auntie, don't worry. The police are currently searching for her. Nothing will happen to Gu Ruoxi."

Gu Ruoxi's mother's voice on the other end of the phone was almost crying.

"Xiaohan, you must find Xiaoxi. You two are so good. Auntie, please..."

From what I heard, it seemed that Gu Ruoxi's mother didn't know that she had broken up with her daughter.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find her."

Li Muhan knew that he couldn't give the old man such hope. He had no ability to find anyone and it all depended on Huo Tian and the others. But he didn't want his mother to be heartbroken.

After all, no matter how Gu Ruoxi treats him, the old couple has treated him very lovingly since he was a child. After the accident in the orphanage, it was the old couple who took him in.

So they can be considered half of Li Muhan's parents.

"Hey, Xiaohan."

The next person to speak was Gu Ruoxi's father.

"We have already bought a ticket to Tianhai City. We will arrive in Tianhai City tonight. Don't worry too much. Now that police technology is so advanced and surveillance is everywhere, Xiaoxi should be fine."

Li Muhan was a little touched. The old father must be very anxious himself, but he was still comforting himself at this time.

"Well, uncle, I will arrange a place to stay after you two elders come over. Don't worry, I will find Gu Ruoxi."
