Chapter 48 The Truth Behind the Incident
Chapter 48 The Truth Behind the Incident
Li Jiuhe did not warn his colleagues who went to check the direction of the apartment that there was an invisible accomplice hiding there.
Since he will reset the task again, there is really no need to waste energy explaining now.
After all, at least three of his colleagues had died and one was seriously injured in the apartment. Although time was of the essence, he would definitely try to save their lives if given the chance.
However, before the second reset, we need to see if we can get their purpose out of the captured Ghost Eyes.
Before long, the person with the strange eyes was blindfolded, then handcuffed and put into a car.
Although Liu Qian and the others couldn't see the guy's eyes, they didn't dare to verify the truth of Li Jiuhe's words, since a single glance could kill someone.
As the team leader, Liu Qian was experienced and had many ways to keep the person with the strange eyes conscious and get them to talk.
Li Jiuhe watched the whole process from the sidelines, keeping track of the time elapsed for his task to ensure he could reset it at any time.
Without Xu Wei's bone flute attack, the Ghost Eye actually woke up shortly after being put into the car.
However, his consciousness was still ravaged by the bone flute, and he was in a scattered state. Even his body control became very poor, resulting in incontinence and constant tears and snot.
The command vehicle was filled with a foul stench.
After being subjected to some interrogation methods by Liu Qian, the Ghost Eye's mental defenses completely collapsed.
"Tell me, did you use the trackers to set this up for us?" Liu Qian's voice was icy.
The man with the strange eyes nodded, trembling.
Liu Qian glanced at Li Jiuhe, and only at this moment did she finally believe that Li Jiuhe was right.
She looked at the person with the strange eyes again: "Why did you do this?"
The man with the strange eyes raised his head slightly. He could sense that he had been locked inside the command vehicle, and then slowly said, "Take...this...vehicle."
Liu Qian was startled and looked at Li Jiuhe again: "How did you know?"
Although Li Jiuhe didn't explicitly say so earlier, he directly inquired about the command vehicle, which coincided with the Ghost Eye's answer.
This means that Li Jiuhe already knew in advance that these people's target for robbery was not the priceless jewelry necklace, but this command vehicle.
Li Jiuhe shrugged: "My sequence ability has some predictive power, but it's not comprehensive."
"Why did you steal this command vehicle?" Liu Qian turned her gaze back to the Ghost Eyes.
She really couldn't understand why these guys would go to such lengths just to steal a command vehicle, considering that the Bureau of Investigation had several command vehicles like theirs.
Command vehicles are also frequently seen traveling around...
Thinking of this, Liu Qian's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly realized something.
Although there were several command vehicles, it seemed that there was a place that only her command vehicle could enter!
The person with the eerie eyes stammered, "Enter...the containment facility."
Upon hearing this, everyone except Li Jiuhe suddenly felt a sense of realization.
That's it!
The city’s Special Incident Investigation Bureau and the Regional Containment Center are two separate, parallel units.
The shelter functions similarly to a prison, while the investigation bureau functions similarly to a police station.
Sometimes, captured Sequencers or Sequence Items need to be contained, so they are sent to containment facilities.
However, because the containment facility is relatively secluded and not many vehicles are allowed to enter, the Bureau of Investigation only has this one command vehicle that can take the Sequencers to be contained in.
Upon hearing the Ghost Eye's answer, everyone immediately realized that these guys probably wanted to use the vehicle as a disguise to have a bigger scheme after entering the containment facility.
They either want to destroy the containment facility or they want to rescue a Sequencer who has already been contained.
Typically, it's not that there's only one shelter in a city, but rather that three or even five nearby cities share a regional shelter.
The nearest shelter is located near Wangchuan City.
The containment facility is heavily guarded, with advanced automatic identification and attack devices installed around it, capable of detecting and distinguishing between ordinary people and Sequencers.
If an unauthorized follower approaches, the device will identify and warn the user before killing them.
The command vehicle in this group is equipped with an identification chip and an intelligent system. Once it is identified by the containment facility's defense system, it will be automatically allowed to enter.
And the sequencers in the car will not be mistakenly killed.
This must be the real reason why this group wanted to rob the command vehicle.
Such a bold and reckless act had never been seen before in the entire country, because no evil Sequencer dared to openly oppose the official investigation bureau and brazenly seize the command vehicle.
Therefore, even the experienced Liu Qian did not consider this aspect at all.
Of course, she now also knows that these guys are ruthless and incredibly powerful, far from being ordinary evil sequencers.
Sequencers with abilities like the "Mysterious Eye" are extremely rare. If there are such sequencers among their investigators, they will be key individuals specially trained by the department.
Moreover, judging from Li Jiuhe's words, besides the trackers, there were other accomplices of these people at the apartment.
Thinking of this, Liu Qian picked up the walkie-talkie again, trying to contact the colleagues who had just rushed to support the apartment.
But after calling out several times, there was no response.
Li Jiuhe understood that the two people had most likely encountered the invisible man and were in grave danger.
After all, these people do not have strong reaction speed and physical fitness. Once attacked by the invisible man, they are basically unable to quickly fight back against the unseen figure.
Of course, Li Jiuhe now knows that the apartment explosion was caused by the investigator's instinctive reaction after being ambushed.
One of the team members is a Explosive, who can disassemble his body and use it to detonate directly. For example, this guy can pull out his own teeth and throw them to cause a small explosion.
Or, one could endure the pain of detaching an arm and use it directly as a grenade.
Furthermore, the body structure of the Burster is different from that of ordinary people. The body parts that are removed from the body will slowly regenerate after a certain period of time, similar to the growth of a gecko's tail after it is severed.
He clearly encountered an extremely dangerous situation in the apartment just now. He must have been under mortal threat and had no choice but to self-destruct, which is why it had such great power.
Now that the Ghost Eye has confessed, Li Jiuhe has a basic understanding of the situation here. He checked the mission duration and then activated the reset.
The next second, Li Jiuhe sat in the passenger seat of the official car again.
Just as the official car entered the apartment complex, he turned to Xu Wei and asked, "Do you have Gao Jingting's phone number? Call him right now!"
Xu Wei was about to drive the car into a parking space on the street when she heard his question. She slammed on the brakes and looked at Li Jiuhe in surprise.
Li Jiuhe continued, "Tell Gao Jingting to leave the apartment immediately. The trackers are bait, and there's also an invisible person and a person with the strange eyes lurking nearby. They want to take the opportunity to kill everyone and then steal Group 1's command vehicle."
