"Bastard!" I picked up my phone and called the Coast Guard and helicopter squadron to intercept. The Coast Guard responded immediately, surrounding the nearby sea area. After a while, Liu Yuning and I, crawling on a helicopter, were tracking the fleeing vessel. However, as night fell, thick fog suddenly appeared on the sea, drastically reducing visibility. Our sight blurred instantly.
"Deputy Director, what do we do? Should we act now? We are the Falcon Sniper Team!"
"There are still quite a few Coast Guard vessels nearby. It would be troublesome if we accidentally injured them. Let's confirm the culprits' ship first!"
At this moment, the boats looked too similar. Firing rashly would be dangerous. The snipers were in position on other helicopters, ready to eliminate the culprits with a single command from me.
Just as Gao Meng was about to escape into a forested landmass, and if she managed to enter the forest, it would be difficult for us to find her. It seemed I couldn't wait any longer. Under extreme urgency, I made a decisive command: "Quick! Open fire on the second flying-wing boat from the left!"
"Received!" The sniper team immediately pulled the trigger. The gunshots roared like beasts in the wilderness, piercing through the hull of the flying-wing boat, killing everyone inside. When we approached, we discovered that Gao Meng was indeed on board.
Although I didn't intend to kill her, there was no other way. I took a bottle of blue-green serum from her hand and found a design blueprint in her clothes.
This was actually the formula for extracting serum to treat ichthyosis and an antidote for cathinone.
As we sailed back, a police officer asked me, "Deputy Director He, there were so many boats just now, how did you know the second one from the left was the culprit's?"
"The faster a boat travels, the smaller the area of its hull in contact with the water, and the smaller the wake it generates. Police boats are faster than the culprits', so the one with the larger wake behind it must be the culprits'!"
"I see. I guess I need to study more."
"Are you new?"
"Reporting, Deputy Director He, my name is Ma Biao, the 'Biao' from formidable, police ID 432435..." ein!" The person opened the door and entered.
He Xin walked in and said, "Father, no one else is here, so I'll still call you this way. I'm not used to calling you Deputy Director."
"Even if someone were here, you would still call me father. Alas, it doesn't matter. Director Zhang has no objections, so others don't need to. What is it that you're looking for me for, Officer He!"
I teased her intentionally, but He Xin said, "Oh, Your Excellency Deputy Director He, don't worry! There's no case. I just have a boyfriend!"
"What?! You have a boyfriend!?"
"Yes, so what? Why do you look like 'Damn! I can't find a boyfriend'?"
I cleared my throat, moistening it before saying, "That's good news. You finally have someone. What kind of person is he? Is he also a police officer?"
"No, and not a forensic doctor either. He's a special forces soldier!"
"Special forces soldier?? How long have you two been together?"
"Only a few months, but he's very capable. He's currently working as a bodyguard at Pinhong International Trade Company."
"This company, isn't it said to be owned by Niu Junchu? This Director Niu seems to have some issues..."
"I've also started paying attention to this person regarding a recent tax evasion case. I plan to have my boyfriend keep an eye on him."
"Be careful. I don't want to encounter a situation where you can't act."
"I won't. My boyfriend wouldn't do bad things, nor would he assist such a criminal."
"Is that so? Don't tell me you're only with him to investigate this case?"
"Of course not. Why do you think of me that way? It's all a coincidence."
Although He Xin said so at the time, I couldn't shake the feeling that things weren't that simple.
However, I figured she wouldn't tell me anything more if I pressed her now, so I had people continue to investigate Niu Junchu.
In fact, this was the Economic Crimes Investigation department's job, but since they were short-handed, I helped out. After all, the Economic Crimes Investigation department had helped us when we needed it in the past. All police officers are family, so mutual assistance is essential.
I asked He Xin to leave first. I stood up and made myself a cup of coffee. As she was leaving, He Xin reminded me, "Don't drink several cups of coffee a day. Your stomach won't be able to take it if you keep drinking like this."
"Three cups is the minimum for me. I'm fine. You go and get busy, or you'll be overwhelmed if something happens later!"
"Yes, Your Excellency Deputy Director He!"
This girl really came up with all sorts of titles. At that moment, I really wanted to chase her out of the office and give her a good lecture, reminding her to maintain the image of a people's police officer.
The peaceful days passed very quickly. One day, Liu Yuning and I were about to get off work and planned to grab a quick meal at the cafeteria before heading home. However, before we reached the dining area, we heard a case briefing from the 110 alarm center.
It turned out that a guest had died in Ronghua Hotel due to drug abuse. Director Zhang immediately summoned us to his office.
"He Sheng, I need to tell you something. The drug case your parents were pursuing back then has actually not been closed!"
"Are you referring to the 115 drug trafficking case?"
"Yes, they had not only cathinone but also pethidine, cocaine, and others. Back then, He Guanghui and his team were close to finding their stronghold but were ambushed and killed halfway. Now it has fallen to your generation, He Sheng. You must thoroughly solve the 115 drug trafficking case and fulfill your father's unfinished wish, do you understand?"
"So, Director Zhang, you are reopening this case."
"That's right. He Sheng, don't get too agitated. If you can solve this case, I believe Guanghui will find peace in the afterlife. Go for it! This is another major challenge for you!"
"I understand, Director Zhang!"
Inwardly, I felt a surge, as if my internal organs were being swept by a flood. However, I maintained my composure on the surface. Liu Yuning, standing beside me, had already clenched her fists.
My emotions finally erupted after leaving Director Zhang's office. I punched the desk: "Drug lords, just you wait! I will bring you to justice and appease the spirits of my parents in heaven!"
