Star Gate

The law enforcement team began to search the Zhang family's old residence.

The result was naturally nothing, and the Zhang family didn’t have anything of value.

But Liu Long understood that the man in secret had been watching here for a long time, and it was absolutely impossible that he didn't have anything important. Or was he waiting for someone?

Who are you waiting for to come to the Zhang family?

However, no one in the Zhang family would come here, except Li Hao, a guy who still cares about the case.

Liu Long, a tall man, wandered around the house with his hands behind his back.

Li Hao and others followed behind. As for the Black Panther, he never left. However, he did not dare to approach Liu Long at this moment, as if he was quite afraid of the law enforcement captain.

Soon, Liu Long approached the kitchen.

The kitchen door has been opened, and someone is searching inside at this moment. Of course, nothing is found.

Li Hao did not look at the chimney. He replaced a stone on the other side of the chimney. Li Hao tried his best to restore it, but the layer of lime painted on the outside of the chimney had already fallen off, and there was no way to put it back up.

It seems normal for a kitchen that has been in disrepair to lose some lime.

Others barely look up and don't pay much attention.

Liu Long's gaze was extremely sharp. With one glance, the entire kitchen layout came into view. He didn't expect to find anything here, let alone being stared at for so long. There really was some treasure waiting for him to find here. .

Just as he was about to look away, Liu Long's gaze froze slightly, and he paused for a moment on the stone that Li Hao had replaced.

Soon, Liu Long looked away.

Without saying anything else, he turned around, glanced at Li Hao, looking down, and said coldly: "Li Hao, did you find anything when you came here?"

"No!"

Li Hao shook his head, thought for a while and added: "It's not impossible at all. According to my observation, the entire house has been disturbed, and even the old tree in the yard has been dug up."

"There is a lot of movement, but no one knows about it. Either he is strong, or he is good at covering up!"

Liu Long nodded slightly.

Suddenly he said: "Do you think the people behind the destruction of the Zhang family will show up?"

"Probably not!"

Li Hao chose to tell the truth, "Even if the Zhang family is demolished and the law enforcement team is here, even if the other party is strong, they will not dare to show up easily. Then they are not acting in secret, but against the entire Yincheng!"

"Then do you think it is necessary to continue demolishing this old house? This is the ancestral home left by your friend."

Li Hao perked up. Did Liu Long discover something?

Do you doubt yourself, or do you doubt what the red shadow forces have taken?

Probably doubting yourself!

Without him, Hong Ying's force is still sending people to keep an eye on it. If it really wants to take something away, there may be no need to stay.

In that case, Liu Long might really have doubted himself.

"It's so difficult!"

For such a difficult number one figure, why has Li Hao been given the impression of being somewhat incompetent over the past year?

On the law enforcement team's side, there are only one or two unsolved cases. Otherwise, Li Hao would not feel that the law enforcement team was incompetent even if it were a simple self-immolation case.

Li Hao thought about it and said with some hesitation: "It would be best if we could stay. If we can't stay, as long as we can catch the murderer and avenge Zhang Yuan, the house is a dead thing. It doesn't matter if it is demolished or burned. I don’t even have a problem with it!”

"Well said!"

Liu Long nodded slightly, and the next moment, he suddenly punched out, and a hole appeared in the kitchen wall. Li Hao's heart trembled when he saw it.

Although the kitchen wall is not made of copper or iron, it is still made of bricks.

When Liu Long punched him, the brick he hit broke and a hole appeared. At this point, Li Hao understood that if he was punched by him, he would not die but would be disabled.

The kitchen, which had been in disrepair for a long time, had holes punched out by Liu Long's punch, and the entire kitchen wall was shaken with plaster falling everywhere.

Liu Long glanced around coldly and said calmly: "Since nothing was found, let's not waste time and demolish the house! Dig three feet into the ground and dig around. If you still don't find anything, light it on fire!" The fire burned out and you still didn’t find it, then forget it!”

"yes!"

All around, members of the law enforcement team responded, and soon, a rumble sounded.

Liu Long looked at Li Hao again and said calmly: "Would you like to go look for it and leave a few things behind for me to remember?"

Li Hao shook his head slightly, sighed, and said a little depressed: "No! It's pointless! It's more valuable to take off the murderer's head and send it to Zhang Yuan's tomb!"

At this moment, how could Li Hao get angry?

If you take away a few things, the whole Zhang family will be deprived of other things, except for the few things Li Hao took away. By then, it will be just mud that will fall off your crotch, and it will be shit if not shit.

Hong Ying's side has never found the Zhang family's knife. At that time, I am afraid that the thing Li Hao took away was the Zhang family's knife.

However, Li Hao really has it!

Liu Long's words may not necessarily be a sign of good intentions.

Maybe it was a test, maybe it was just to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but Li Hao wouldn't take it anyway.

A faint smile suddenly appeared in Liu Long's eyes. The next moment, he shouted loudly: "Don't smash them all and burn them. Bring a few things back to the Inspection Department to use as evidence!"

Li Hao said nothing.

Instead, he quickly judged what Liu Long meant. Was he trying to lure Hong Ying into taking the bait?

At this moment, he would no longer underestimate the law enforcement team or Liu Long, but would carefully analyze the meaning of every word he said.

"The others have dispersed and are looking around! Li Hao, follow me!"

Liu Long dismissed the other team members around him and called Li Hao.

Li Hao didn't ask any questions, just obeyed the order and quickly followed Liu Long.

Liu Long said nothing and strode outside.

Li Hao followed immediately, even walking and running before he could follow.

…

Outside Zhang's house.

The entire street is full of people at the moment, including people from the law enforcement team and residents of the old street who were alarmed. Although many people have moved away, there are still some people left here.

Liu Long said nothing and continued to move forward.

He walked to a water tower in the middle of the old street, then stopped, then stepped into the water tower and walked directly to the top of the water tower.

Li Hao followed again.

He didn't understand what this person meant, nor why Liu Long came here.

Climb high and look far?

This is the tallest building in the entire old street, but you can see the surroundings clearly. Are you here to observe where the enemy is?

Along the wooden stairs, accompanied by creaking sounds, the two of them climbed all the way up. After a while, they reached the top of the tower.

Below, the old street is in sight.

Liu Long was wearing a black trench coat. The trench coat fluttered in the wind, revealing the densely packed weapons inside the trench coat. To Li Hao's expectation, it was not firearms, but various cold weapons.

A short knife, a delicate silver hatchet, and some throwing knives with extremely small handles.

Liu Long looked up at the sky, not at the crowded old street, and said in an indifferent voice: "Li Hao, you are the inspector of the confidential room. Let me ask you, after you have been in the inspection department for a year, what is your biggest impression of the law enforcement team? What?"

"capable!"

Li Hao did not hesitate.

"Ah!"

A sneer came, and Liu Long looked sarcastic, "Hypocritical! All literati are like this!"

"..."

Speechless.

Liu Long said indifferently: "It's because of incompetence! It's okay to solve some trivial cases, but almost nine out of ten major cases are unsolved!"

"But, you have to know that the law enforcement team of the Inspection Department has been somewhat incompetent in recent years. In the past few years, the Yincheng Inspection Department was the anchor of Yincheng!"

"You are from Yincheng. You should know that when you were a child, Yincheng's public security was the safest among all nearby cities, even if you didn't close your house at night!"

Li Hao thought for a while and nodded.

Also, Yincheng seemed to be very safe when I was a child.

Of course, it may also be related to the fact that he was not exposed to these things when he was a child. At that time, he felt that Yincheng was very safe and there would be no danger.

No matter what he was thinking, Liu Long suddenly said: "Do you know why I want you to join the law enforcement team?"

"I don't know..."

"Because of Zhang Yuan!"

"..."

Li Hao frowned, what do you mean?

Liu Long's tone was calm: "Law enforcement team, I have been the captain for ten years, and I have feelings for you! Just like you have feelings for Zhang Yuan, I also have brotherly love for the law enforcement team, and I can't bear to see this brother slowly die!"

"I also wanted to save, but it turned out that the authorities were obsessed with me, and I could no longer clearly use my own reason to grasp my feelings! I know everyone very well, but it is precisely because of this understanding that I feel that any member of the law enforcement team No one will ever do anything sorry to me!"

"I don't want to doubt anyone, and I don't want to believe that the brothers who lived and died with me back then will now betray our original intentions for some money and some personal belongings!"

"The moment we joined the inspection department, the moment we joined the law enforcement team, we swore together: We will enforce the law for justice! We will enforce the law unfairly! Don't be afraid of power, and don't be afraid of sacrifice!"

"Justice lasts forever, never fear, never compromise!"

Liu Long spoke extremely seriously, but at the next moment, he showed a hint of self-mockery and said sarcastically: "This is the oath we made back then. However, it seems that few people can stick to it and keep it in their hearts!"

Li Hao listened silently.

He was not familiar with this person, and perhaps it was because of his unfamiliarity that this person would say this to him.

But Liu Long did not continue, and changed the subject the next moment: "Zhang Yuan's case is not simple! There may be a superpower behind it!"

Li Hao did not pretend to be deaf and dumb, and nodded: "I think so too! After all, the six cases of self-immolation are all natural. I even witnessed them with my own eyes. It is difficult for ordinary people to do it."

"Then you still dare to pursue it?" Liu Long suddenly laughed. This may be the first time he laughed tonight, and his smile was a little bit charming.

Li Hao didn't know if this person was also related to Hongying, but at this moment, he had no other choice or method.

"Zhang Yuan is my only friend!"

"Going for your friends?"

Liu Long said calmly: "When I was young, I had such impulsiveness and passion. Maybe when I get older, I have different ideas!"

After that, he said again: "It's not important! You are in some danger now. First, you are involved in this self-immolation case! Second, you opened the prelude to the self-immolation case and made this case enter the law enforcement team." Line of sight. Thirdly, if you come here tonight, you will scare off the enemy, which is also one of the sources of your danger."

"Don't expect Professor Yuan to help you too much. You can only rely on yourself, and relying on others is always unreliable!"

"Professor Yuan is just an ordinary person. The night watchman may or may not be trying to save his face. Don't think that as long as superpowers are involved, the night watchman will intervene."

"For a night watchman, what does six dead people mean?"

Liu Long shook his head: "It's not that they don't care about the dead, but the number of night watchmen is small and they are distributed in various places! In this area of ​​Yincheng, there are very few night watchmen, and they all perform their duties. Unless there are large-scale casualties, the night watchmen will be dispatched. . Otherwise, if several people die and superpowers are involved, the night watchman may not be able to take care of it."

This was the first time Li Hao heard someone seriously talk about the night watchman organization.

Li Hao couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked in a low voice: "Are there not many night watchmen?"

"right!"

Liu Long nodded: "There are not many. In fact, the people who maintain law and order are more ordinary people from the Inspection Department! Only when it is absolutely necessary, the night watchmen will be dispatched, and another thing is that not all superpowers will join the night watchmen. , the Night Watchman is just a larger organization in the super series."

Li Hao thought about it for a moment and then asked: "Captain, are superpowers born or acquired?"

"All of them!"

Liu Long asked playfully: "You also want to get involved in this field?"

"No."

"lie!"

Liu Long sneered: "Anyone who hears about superpowers for the first time will be fascinated by them, because they don't know the dangers and mysteries involved. They only know that superpowers are mysterious and omnipotent! Only by going deep into it can they understand the meaning of it. Where the crisis lies, there is a possibility of regret in the future, and I’m afraid we will all yearn for it in the beginning.”

Li Hao had no choice but to nod and agree with what he said.

Anyone who hears this will yearn for it, and he actually yearns for it too.

"But you know nothing about it, and you rush in without mentioning how difficult it is. If you just rush in without knowing anything about it, you may have a narrow escape from death!"

"exactly……"

Liu Long laughed again: "I know a lot about night watchmen. If you come to the law enforcement team, maybe I can give you some advice."

Li Hao said strangely: "The captain said so much, just to persuade me to join the law enforcement team? I have only just entered the inspection department for a year as a third-level inspection. I don't think I have such value, worthy of the captain saying so much to me. , even involving the field of superpowers, just to let me join.”

"Don't underestimate yourself!"

There was something meaningful in Liu Long's eyes: "If I want you to join, it won't be that simple. You can also think of killing someone with a borrowed knife! For example, your teacher, Professor Yuan Shuo, is a good backer! The law enforcement team is The border is now hard to come back from, and some external forces may be needed to break down the barriers."

"Your teacher Yuan Shuo is an ordinary person, but not entirely. In fact, Yincheng, Guyuan, and the night watchmen all rely on him to help solve some problems."

Li Hao listened silently and did not interrupt.

"This is one. Second, the law enforcement team really needs some fresh blood. You are from Guyuan, so you are a good choice!"

"Third, you are loyal enough, which is something I value very much. At least I can trust you to give me my back."

"Fourth, if you have brains and are careful enough, if you train yourself, you might become my right-hand man!"

Li Hao nodded again.

Liu Long smiled and said: "What do you think? Is this enough?"

Is it enough?

not enough!

Li Hao felt that although such a reason was sufficient, it was not sufficient. At least he could not let someone like Liu Long stare at him all the time and talk to him alone so much just to let him join them.

He looked at Liu Long, but Liu Long didn't look at him at this moment.

The tall captain kept staring in the direction of the sky. Perhaps feeling Li Hao's gaze, he suddenly smiled and said: "Little guy, knowing too much may not be a good thing. I want to help you solve the case. Come and help me." Isn’t this enough? Why bother to get to the bottom of it?”

Li Hao was silent for a moment and whispered: "I want to take revenge, but... I want to know what I am doing. It is better to know than not to know! Everything the captain said, I can understand and accept, but I want to know The truth, instead of just becoming a victim in confusion!”

"Young man, I can't hold my breath!"

Liu Long laughed: "Did you take anything away from Zhang's house?"

"No, I don't understand what the captain means."

"Ah!"

Liu Long sneered: "The chimney seems to have been tampered with. Li Hao, I am an old patrol inspector who has been doing patrol inspections for twenty years. I have been a law enforcement captain for ten years. You can think that I am incompetent, but you cannot think that I am incompetent." I'm blind! The traces are very fresh, could it be someone else's manipulation?"

Li Hao's scalp was a little numb, but he still persisted, "I don't know what the captain said, I really didn't do anything."

"It doesn't matter!"

Liu Long suddenly smiled: "It doesn't matter even if you take away any super items, it doesn't matter! I don't care!"

Um?

Li Hao was surprised. He couldn't understand Liu Long anymore.

What does this guy mean?

Until now, he was actually a little confused.

Liu Long smiled again and said: "Then openly say, I want you to come, because I can't force you to come here. You have a backer, and I can't force you to come. Otherwise... you must follow me now! Instead of persuading you with nice words. !”

Li Hao suddenly frowned.

Liu Long regained his dominance again and said indifferently: "Your teacher still has some status, so I can't force you to do anything! I just want to tell you that you are in danger, and you may be the next one to die by self-immolation. victim!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The heart suddenly started beating violently.

Li Hao was shocked inexplicably. Liu Long... is related to Hongying?

"Do not think too much!"

Liu Long interrupted his thoughts and said calmly: "The self-immolation case is far from over! A superpower is involved. Logically speaking, even if he kills someone, he should have left long ago. However, the other party has been setting up in Yincheng for ten years. Even longer! This was not an accidental killing, nor a vendetta, this was a targeted, purposeful killing."

"Their or his mission is not over yet. The other party still has a target. Originally, I was still thinking, who is the next target? Now it seems, maybe it is you!"

Li Hao suppressed his throbbing and said in a low voice, "Why me?"

"Why?"

Liu Long smiled: "There are many people with the surname Li, and it seems that you are the only one dancing happily lately! Of course I will raise your suspicion to the maximum."

Li Hao was startled again. Liu Long... seemed to know that slang song too!

"Those people are staring at the Zhang family's old house, maybe because of the so-called Zhang family's knife?"

Liu Long's words almost made Li Hao lose his composure.

"Both the Zhang family's sword and the Li family's sword are in your hands?"

Liu Long laughed again, but Li Hao could no longer laugh, only feeling chilled.

This is Men Qing!

He seemed to know everything. Of course, maybe he had deduced it because Li Hao reported the case, but in a short period of time, Liu Long was able to find out so many things, which was extremely terrifying!

"Is it a super item?"

Liu Long muttered to himself and quickly shook his head: "It's not important, it doesn't matter! Super items have little effect on ordinary people. The treasures in their eyes are actually worthless in our eyes! You can take it away, it doesn't matter." It doesn’t matter whether you take it away or not.”

"On the contrary, it would be best if you took it away!"

Liu Long smiled: "In this case, their next target must be you! It is 100% you! After so many years of planning, it is impossible to give up, even if it has attracted attention, it will not give up! So, By joining the law enforcement team, you are not only helping me, but also saving yourself! Because you can't deal with superpowers."

Li Hao didn't want to admit this, but at this moment, he was a little confused. He suppressed his irritation and whispered: "Captain, the law enforcement team seems to have spies on the other side... The captain has said so much, could it be said..."

"Ah!"

Liu Long sneered: "Are you doubting me? This is right, but it is not necessary. Everything I have done is not something you can understand. Of course, you may be able to understand it in the future."

Li Hao said in a deep voice: "Captain, tell me what you have to say!"

Liu Long fell silent again.

After a long time, he sighed softly, and soon returned to normal. His tone was calm, but the words he said made Li Hao frightened!

"Superpower, just as you think, you also want to step into and become an extraordinary person! And I... want it too! Not only do I want to, I even almost stepped into that field. Unfortunately, I was sent back in the end. Got it!"

"I'm not willing to give in. After seeing that field, you ask me to step back. How can I give in?"

"The chaos in the law enforcement team is actually partly due to me. A few years ago, I settled down and took root in the law enforcement team, so I worked diligently. But since I was sent back... I am no longer willing to be ordinary!"

"So I pay less attention to the law enforcement team, which also leads to the law enforcement team being a mixed bag now."

These were not the reasons that frightened Li Hao.

The next sentence was the reason why Li Hao wanted to escape.

"I'm not willing to sink like this, and I'm not willing to just pass by the mysterious realm... So, I know a way to step into super powers again! That is... to kill super powers!"

Liu Long's eyes were cold and stern, and his anger boiled instantly.

"Kill, kill a superpower who matches your own attributes or abilities! Take away his mysterious power and introduce yourself. Once is not enough, then do it twice. Until the mysterious power can inspire your own superpower, then you will be the next superpower. A capable person!"

"Superpowers are rare and difficult to kill. Every time I fight for my life! But I don't want to be ordinary. In the past three years, we have hunted several superpowers, but unfortunately... we have never succeeded!"

us?

Li Hao was already confused at this moment.

Killing superpowers and becoming new superpowers, he couldn't believe it, and couldn't imagine that a law enforcement team could... be so bold!

Cold sweat broke out on Li Hao's head.

He knew why Liu Long wanted to join by himself, and even knew some of his problems, but he didn't take them seriously. He even hoped that he could really attract the pursuit of superpowers.

"Gulong!"

Li Hao swallowed. He felt that he was bold enough, but today, he saw a bolder and crazier guy.

Liu Long laughed a little wildly, "What are you afraid of? Therefore, I am not willing to let the night watchman participate. As for the danger... wealth can be found in danger! If you don't enter the extraordinary, will your life be ordinary?"

"Li Hao, you too! If you want to enter the field of super powers, even if you really join the Night Watch, you will still be beaten back because the Night Watch will only give you one chance to introduce energy into your body! But! Among the night watchmen, mystical abilities are limited. If you don’t succeed once, there will be no second chance. After you have experienced the mysterious realm, you will be knocked back to the mortal world. Are you willing?"

"Could it be that... no one can succeed the first time?"

Li Hao asked. He thought about the water he drank. Is the starry energy the so-called mysterious energy?

It seems that I have drunk it many times, but I have not become a superpower. Could it be that... I have been trying to introduce energy into my body, but I have never succeeded?

"have!"

Liu Long nodded slightly, but quickly laughed at himself: "Every year, night watchmen select at least tens of thousands of people in major cities to become experimenters! In the end, I am afraid only one percent succeeds! That is about a hundred people, and the rest All attempts have failed! Li Hao, not to mention the few experimenter quotas in Yincheng each year, even if you can be selected, do you think you will become one of the hundred people among ten thousand people? "

Li Hao was silent.

"So, you can only rely on yourself!"

Liu Long said solemnly: "Kill on your own! Use mundane means to fight against superpowers! Kill them and deprive them of their mysterious powers. As long as you match yourself, if it doesn't work once, you can succeed twice or three times!"

Li Hao took a deep breath. At this moment, when he looked at Liu Long, he felt like he was seeing a madman.

An ordinary person who wanted to become a superpower, but kept walking on the edge of death, actually went to fight the superpower. This... was really beyond Li Hao's expectation.

He felt that he was crazy enough for having such an idea.

The person in front of me did not have such thoughts, but had obviously done such a thing.

"Captain...think I can attract superpowers?"

"Definitely!"

Liu Long also opened up at this time and said: "Don't deny it. When I first saw you, I actually vaguely felt some mysterious energy. You must have had contact with superpowers or superpower items recently. People like you ...It has nothing to do with the superpower field!”

Li Hao didn't know whether it was the influence of the stone jade sword or the reason why he drank the sword soaking water before. Obviously, the captain had seen something.

Terrible guy!

A being who uses his mortal body to fight against superpowers and become a superpower.

Li Hao didn't know how strong the superpower was, but he knew that he must be very powerful. Hong Ying's killing methods were terrifying. This person was really... crazy!

"Think about it, you are welcome to come anytime!"

Liu Long suddenly jumped off the tower, and his voice came faintly: "Don't count on your teacher. Your teacher can't help you step in, not even himself. The night watchman doesn't want your teacher, or your teacher's Students can step in because...it's not in their interest!"

Li Hao's heart moved slightly. Teacher... can't you do it either?
