Chapter 645: WhyКлючевые словаDice In The DarknessПоделитьсяКомментарии

As soon as Liu Xing finished speaking, his mobile phone started ringing.

Liu Xing picked up the mobile phone and found that it was a message from Sergei.

Sergei’s message was quite simple. He had found a blood component in the blood samples he collected this morning that did not belong to a human, and Sergei was certain that this blood component did not come from any common animals either. So Sergei was curious if Liu Xing knew who the owner of this blood component was, and the reason Sergei believed Liu Xing would know the answer was that Sergei believed that with Liu Xing’s vigilance, he should have woken up during the first shooting incident the previous night and naturally seen the perpetrator.

Faced with Sergei’s curiosity, Liu Xing could only reply with a "no comment."

To be honest, based on Sergei’s previous independent investigation of the Wade Couple’s situation, Liu Xing knew that Sergei was a person with his own ideas, so even if he didn’t tell Sergei the truth now, Sergei would most likely find a way to investigate it himself, and then Sergei might get into trouble.

Of course, Liu Xing felt that this possibility was not very high, after all, as a forensic scientist, Sergei would have a hard time getting in touch with the Ghouls, because Sergei was not the type to fight on the front lines, and the bodies of the Ghouls would not pass through his hands.

So, Liu Xing felt that Sergei would eventually give up the investigation due to a lack of results, so after putting away his mobile phone, he put this matter out of his mind.

"By the way, do you think the reinforcements sent by the military are reliable? I’ve heard that the quality of the new recruits in recent years has been declining, and if these reinforcements are all new recruits, they might not be as capable as us."

Leon said with some concern.

As for the Great Britain Alliance’s military, the military quality of their ordinary soldiers is also somewhat worrying, especially in recent years, as the military has been unable to recruit enough new recruits, so the Great Britain Alliance has repeatedly lowered the recruitment conditions and the intensity of new recruit training.

So during his time at the Police Academy, "Chris" had heard his classmates complaining that the training intensity they received at the Police Academy was higher than that of the new recruits.

Of course, with the exception of shooting, because the gun ownership rate of English police officers is very low, most police officers have never fired a gun in their entire lives, and have never even carried a gun on patrol.

Thinking about this, Liu Xing couldn’t help but mock the gun ownership problem of English police officers, because the vast majority of English police officers are not equipped with firearms at many times, and this has been a tradition of English police officers for nearly two hundred years, the reason being to maintain the image of friendly and approachable police officers. The result, of course, is that there are quite a few police officers who find themselves in a very embarrassing and dangerous situation when faced with armed criminals.

So in the Police Academy, there are quite a few students who have not received professional shooting training, and this does not affect their successful graduation as police officers, although they will not have the right to carry firearms after becoming police officers.

Therefore, in the entire British Isles, except for the troublesome Scotland, where police officers are heavily armed, the percentage of police officers with the right to carry firearms in England and Wales has been hovering around 10%, so in these two regions, the gun ownership rate of police officers is extremely low, and even if they are armed, they do not carry ammunition on duty... In addition to this strange tradition, another major factor affecting the gun ownership of English police officers is that England has set up a special investigation committee, and any police officer who fires a gun will be subject to investigation by this committee, even if the police officer who fired the gun has clear evidence and reason to prove that he should have fired the gun at the time, but this bizarre committee will still conduct an investigation and questioning that may last for years on this police officer.

So Liu Xing still remembers this statistic, which is that in one year, English police officers fired a total of seven shots, ultimately killing five criminal suspects, while across the ocean, the police officers of the United States of America killed more than a thousand people that same year.

Thinking about this, Liu Xing suddenly felt enlightened, finally understanding why there were so many casualties in the London police’s pursuit of those five Ghouls - it turns out that the English police officers are just too incompetent!

Now, Liu Xing can be sure that among the regular police officers sent by Chief House, most of them have never fired a gun before, because the entire London police force really can’t muster up that many police officers with shooting experience.

So Liu Xing couldn’t help but mock, "Compared to the military reinforcements, I’m actually more worried about our colleagues, after all, those soldiers have at least played with guns, while our colleagues are completely ignorant of shooting, and I have no doubt that there will be accidental shootings in the upcoming pursuit."

Jill nodded and said with a smile, "That’s right, I heard a joke when I was in Scotland that you English police officers don’t have shooting training in the Police Academy because there are no guns in the English Police Academy."

Due to the various love-hate relationships between Scotland and England, Scotland often experiences various violent incidents, so the gun ownership rate of Scottish police officers is extremely high.

Faced with Jill’s teasing, Leon said with disgust, "That’s because your Scotland is too lively, but now that you mention it, I do remember a few regular police officers in our team, and their movements don’t seem to be very good with guns, so I think it’s better for us to keep a distance from those regular police officers, because these regular police officers are likely to be scared and fire randomly when they really encounter the Ghouls, and in the subway tunnel terrain, it’s very easy for them to accidentally shoot us."

Liu Xing, Jill and Leon immediately reached a consensus, deciding that they should still keep a certain distance from those regular police officers, and absolutely not stand in front of them, lest they die before the mission is accomplished.

And so, Liu Xing and the other two finished their lunch while complaining.

Originally, Liu Xing and the other two planned to continue playing in London in the afternoon, but they received a call from Wesker, asking them to go to the airport with him to pick up someone.

Although Wesker didn’t explicitly say who the person was, Liu Xing and the other two knew that this person must be very important, otherwise Wesker wouldn’t have asked the three of them to accompany him.

So, Liu Xing and the other two took a taxi to the airport and met up with Wesker, who had been waiting there for a while.

At this time, Wesker also told Liu Xing and the others about the person. His name was Milhaus, a very famous Wizard in England. He had helped the English authorities handle many supernatural incidents, so when Chief House confirmed that they needed to pursue those five Ghouls, he contacted the traveling Milhaus abroad, and the urgent Milhaus immediately returned from Hawaii.

That’s right, this Milhaus the magician is different from other Wizards. He doesn’t just stay in his own little world studying all kinds of magic, but often goes abroad to travel and relax, which can be considered a very down-to-earth Wizard. That’s why the English authorities are very willing to cooperate with Milhaus, because he is not as arrogant and self-righteous as other Wizards.

However, this Mr. Milhaus also has a not-so-good habit, which is that he is quite particular about appearances. If only one person was sent to pick him up, Milhaus would feel that he had lost face, so Wesker specially called Liu Xing and the other two to come.

Soon, Milhaus appeared in front of Liu Xing and the others, and what surprised Liu Xing was that Milhaus looked no different from a man in his 60s, without any Wizard-like aura, completely different from the other English Wizard, Bain, that Liu Xing had seen before.

However, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Liu Xing could still feel that this Milhaus was not simple, because Liu Xing noticed that Milhaus’s gaze towards him was a bit strange.

It seems that Milhaus might have noticed Liu Xing’s uniqueness, knowing that he was the man who had been invaded by Cthulhu in his dreams... After all, Milhaus’s strength should still be far from the Yellow King, so he is unlikely to have discovered that Liu Xing had taken over Chris’s body.

On the way back to the London Police Station, Milhaus chatted happily with Wesker, while Liu Xing and the other two became the designated "straight men", appropriately exclaiming in admiration when Milhaus talked about his past glorious experiences.

And during this journey, Liu Xing also noticed that Milhaus was still occasionally glancing at him.

Back at the London Police Station, Wesker took Milhaus to Chief House’s office, while Liu Xing and the other two went back to the office to rest.

But before Liu Xing’s butt even had a chance to warm the seat, Sergei walked into the office.

Liu Xing knew why Sergei was here, so he spoke up first: "Sorry, Sergei, you should know about the confidentiality system of our London Police Station, and you also know that your discovery today is related to an extremely important case, so I can’t reveal certain things to you right now."

Sergei had a look as if he had expected Liu Xing to say that, waving his hand and saying, "I knew Chris would say that. So I’m not here this time for that matter, because I’ll know about it sooner or later anyway, since I have the opportunity to go through all the files related to the murderer case in the London Police Station. The purpose of my visit this time is actually for my sister."

Leon raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "Your sister? Sergei, you’re not planning to have us go arrest your sister’s boyfriend, are you?"

Liu Xing and Jill also chuckled.

Sergei nodded seriously and said, "That’s right, I’m planning to have you go arrest my sister’s boyfriend."

Liu Xing was a bit surprised to see Sergei so serious, and said, "Sergei, you’re not joking with us, are you? You know we police officers can’t just arrest people randomly, even if your sister’s boyfriend has indeed committed some minor offenses, we can at most just give him a verbal warning."

Sergei sighed and said, "Of course I know that. That’s why I’m here to see you, because I’ve obtained concrete evidence that can prove my sister’s boyfriend is engaged in some illegal activities. It’s because her boyfriend has recently been getting very close to a Chinese mafia, and that Chinese mafia is involved in a lot of black industries."

Chinese mafia?

Liu Xing raised an eyebrow and quickly asked, "Sergei, are you sure your sister’s boyfriend is related to the Chinese mafia? I remember those Chinese mafias are quite exclusive."

Sergei nodded and said firmly, "Chris, you all know that Elsa is my only sister, so as soon as I learned that my sister was dating her boyfriend, I immediately investigated his background, and I’ve been very attentive to Elsa’s boyfriend’s actions, because I don’t want my sister to be negatively influenced by him. After all, Chris, you all should know that there are more and more student criminals these days, and the drugs, gambling, and prostitution they’re involved in can ruin a person’s life."

"Because I have a friend who is a school teacher, I asked him to help me monitor my sister’s boyfriend. For a long time, her boyfriend didn’t show any abnormalities. But recently, my sister’s boyfriend has been getting very close to a few Chinese students, and those Chinese students are quite famous on campus because they have the shadow of a Chinese mafia behind them."

"So I immediately realized that this situation was a bit off, so I found the file of that Chinese mafia and found that they are engaged in drug trafficking, and their drug trafficking network has already spread throughout England. So I suspect that my sister’s boyfriend is trying to become a henchman for that Chinese mafia, selling drugs on campus. Therefore, this noon when I went to bring something to my sister, I accidentally discovered that her boyfriend followed a Chinese student to the parking lot, got into a car for a while, and then left in a hurry."

Liu Xing furrowed his brow. If Sergei wasn’t exaggerating, Elsa’s boyfriend does seem to have a problem.

However, when the Chinese mafia is mentioned now, it makes Liu Xing can’t help but think of Ithaqua, after all, the module wouldn’t arrange a side quest completely unrelated to the main plot, right?

So Liu Xing can’t help but suspect that the Chinese mafia related to Elsa’s boyfriend’s is led by Ithaqua!
