Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 385 Screening

Chapter 385 Screening

In Xiangye District, a building with peeling exterior paint, in a room on the fourth floor, Han Rui was lying on the sofa, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

He wore a strange-looking hat on his head—the hat was white, like paper, leather or plastic, and the specific material could not be seen.The hat has no shape, just like a paper hat made by a child.

The paper hat looked a little wet, as if soaked in water.But it is rapidly drying out as time goes by.Finally, with Han Rui waking up, the water stains on it completely disappeared.

At this moment, it seems to have really become a plain white paper.

Han Rui opened his eyes, straightened up, curled his lips, tore off the paper hat from his head, and threw it into a trash can in a ball.

After thinking about it, he picked out the paper hat again, went to the bathroom, threw it into the toilet, and flushed it.

The task is almost done.The development of things is moving forward according to their own plans.Tonight will be the end of the mission.Afterwards, I will get paid, and no one will know that I have quietly promoted this matter behind the scenes.

Stretching, he put on his coat, packed some things, stuffed them into his backpack, put on a peaked cap, pushed the door and went out.

At this moment, He Wei also arrived near the Xiangye community.Because one of the key figures in this incident, the one named Horford lived here.

He Wei is dressed casually, like a passerby who can be seen everywhere.She was walking around in this community at will, seemingly carelessly, just like any resident of the community, but her eyes were quietly observing the environment here.

"If our speculation is true, then the manipulator behind the scenes is very likely to be near Horford, in this community, or somewhere nearby."

She thought silently, walking around casually.

In front of him was a young man wearing a peaked cap, of average height, who looked a little thin, and walked towards him.The young man had a relaxed smile on his face, and seemed to be in a good mood.

He Wei glanced at him without paying too much attention.

The two passed by each other without leaving a trace in each other's hearts.

Han Rui walked out of the community like this, looked lazily at the street in front of him, and began to think about where to go for something to eat.At this moment, a police car drove over from the left road and stopped tens of meters away from Han Rui.

His heart lifted slightly in an instant.

Several security guards got off the police car, walked into a nearby store together, and then started talking to the boss, not knowing what they were asking.

It's just... one of the security guards seemed to glance at him intentionally or unintentionally just now.

Han Rui is a suspicious person, but also a very careful person.He knew very well in his heart that what he did would normally never be discovered.No one can perceive that these things have anything to do with them.But he remains cautious.

He was sure that it was normal for him to run into police cars and security guards on the road. 99.99999% has nothing to do with me.

But... this is the fourth time I have encountered a security guard in the past two days.

The frequency seems a bit too high.

What if... there is really an official force that has been watching him behind the scenes. These security officers are here to perform other tasks on the surface, but the real purpose is to spy on him?
After a little thought in his head, Han Rui quickly had an idea in his mind.

Whether they were staring at him, or happened to pass by and met, as long as they tried it out, everything would be revealed.

He looked around, and there was a shared motorcycle just a dozen meters away from him.He walked over and just took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code, when he saw a young woman who came to the motorcycle by herself first, took out her mobile phone to scan the QR code, and it was done in one go.

I was so preoccupied before that I didn't see another person also aiming at this car and making a move before myself.

The young woman was dressed in casual clothes and appeared to be a local resident.Her skin is not fair, but slightly healthy wheaten.The appearance is not enough to make people feel amazing, but it has a heroic taste.

The woman frowned slightly, and looked at Han Rui with some doubts, as if asking him with her eyes, what to do standing beside her.

Han Rui glanced at the woman greedily, sighed silently in his heart, and showed embarrassment on his face: "I'll scan the one next to it. Uh, you also belong to this community?"

"What's up?"

"Uh, it's okay, I just want to..."

Han Rui was a little embarrassed, and a little afraid to look the woman in the eye.He wanted to say something more, but when he raised his head again, he saw that the woman had gone straight away on her bicycle.

This made Han Rui a little annoyed.

Shaking off the little fantasies in his head, he made himself nervous and serious again, and then he swept a motorcycle next to him, got on it, and walked slowly towards the spot where the police car stopped before.

He has already thought about several different endings of his exploration, and has drawn up a response plan for each direction.

When his motorcycle came near the police car, the security officers seemed to have finished questioning the boss and were heading towards another shop.During this process, another security officer scanned the street intentionally or unintentionally, and his gaze passed over Han Rui again, which made Han Rui nervous again.

As if he hadn't grasped the handlebars properly, the motorcycle suddenly tilted and hung to a nearby watermelon stall.The stall shook twice, a large watermelon fell to the ground and exploded, and the pulp and juice flowed all over the floor.

The melon vendor immediately stood up and shouted, "How did you ride a bicycle?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't see it by accident."

While watching the security guards next to him, Han Rui casually dealt with the vendors, the car didn't stop, and continued to move forward.

"Hey! You want to leave after dropping the melon! Stop it, don't go! You have to buy the melon if you drop it!"

The vendor strode forward and grabbed Han Rui, forcing him to stop.

Seeing the quarrel here, some passers-by unconsciously gathered their gazes.Those security officers also looked here, but did not come over.

Han Rui continued to pay attention to their movements.

"It's obvious that your stall is placed too far outside. This is the road! Your stall stretched out onto the road. I touched my leg just now and almost fell. It's good that I didn't ask you to pay for the medical expenses. Now, you still dare to ask me to pay me? It’s unreasonable!"

Han Rui immediately messed around.

The vendor was furious: "Who is unreasonable? You hit my stall and want me to lose money?"

The two began to quarrel and refused to give in to each other.The security guards finally came over here.

Han Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, his body tensed slightly, and he was ready to deal with any changes.

He knew that if these security officers really targeted him, they would almost certainly try to arrest him directly after having to interact with him later.Because they are also afraid that they will scare the snake—now the snake has already been startled, so they can only catch it, otherwise what should the snake do if it runs away?
But it doesn't matter, Han Rui is confident that he can escape under the siege of these security officers.Because things started in a hurry, even if the other party really set his sights on him, he definitely didn't plan to arrest him now.If you are not prepared enough, it is not difficult to escape by yourself.

If those security officers didn't keep an eye on him, then this time they would just treat it as a dispute that couldn't be any smaller, and they had to deal with it just because they happened to encounter it, and there was no need to even bring it to the bureau for further investigation .

In this way, through a simple test, he can know whether the official forces are aware of the tasks he is performing.

When the four security officers finally came to his side, Han Rui's spirit was tense to the extreme.

"What's the noise, what's going on?"

"Comrade security officer, he..."

"Comrade security officer, I..."

"Don't argue, you talk first!"

The vendor told the story of what happened.Han Rui also began to "struggle with reason".After understanding what happened, the security officers began to mediate, and it ended with Han Rui agreeing to pay the money.

After the dispute ended, Han Rui got back on his motorcycle and walked to one side.After walking for dozens of meters, the security guards didn't catch up and went to another shop instead. Han Rui finally let go of his heart.

He understood that the official forces really did not follow him.

On the other side, at the other exit of the community, He Wei stopped the motorcycle with some disappointment, locked it, hailed a taxi, and went back to the base.

Hours of site visits yielded nothing.

Back at the base, He Wei saw that Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming were still standing in front of the monitoring screen.

"At this stage, even if there is a behind-the-scenes manipulator, there is no need for him to continue to come forward. The whole incident, the preliminary layout has been completed. In my opinion, it is estimated that the behind-the-scenes manipulator will really come forward tonight."

Tonight, Zhao Zonghai and Horford will go fishing together.After 12 o'clock tonight, in the early hours of tomorrow, it will be Zhao Zonghai's "death date" on that old paper.

"Has the terrain survey been completed?"

"Soon. There are six aerial photography drones drawing a topographic map of Xiaoshu Village and its surroundings."

Zhang Dingshan let out a long breath: "Then wait until tonight."

"Yes."

The second operation team will mobilize a large number of guards and set up a net around the fishing position near Xiaoshu Village.If the manipulator behind the scenes really existed, there is a high probability that he would have to go to the scene if he wanted to bring about the ending of "Zhao Zonghai slipped and drowned".At that time, it was time for our own side to arrest people.

Zhang Dingshan was just about to leave to make detailed arrangements for the lurking and defense affairs for tonight, but before he could go out, the phone rang.

After connecting, Lu Qingliang's excited voice came out: "Captain, I found something!"

"Ok?"

Zhang Dingshan narrowed his eyes slightly, turned on the computer, and switched to the video conference room: "What's going on?"

"The personnel investigation has results! The information analysis team screened out one person among the personnel who have time and space intersections with Zhao Zonghai, Zhao Zongshan, Huo Fude, and Wu Hong!"

Lu Qingliang uploaded several photos to the video conference room, and quickly said: "About half an hour after Zhao Zongshan made the critical decision to resign, this person was photographed at a distance of about 120 meters from the 'incident site' in a straight line.

Then there is Wu Hong.An hour after Wu Hong made the "key decision" to reduce the price of that fishing rod, he was photographed again 60 meters away from the big fish fishing tackle shop.

The Xiangye community where Horford lives, 20 minutes after he called Zhao Zonghai to make an appointment to go fishing together tonight, he was also photographed at the gate of the Xiangye community!The portrait comparison has been successfully compared. Although this person is dressed differently, it can be confirmed that they are the same person! "

Lu Ming stared closely at the photos uploaded by Lu Qingliang, distinguishing them carefully.

The man around Zhao Zongshan had short hair, a beard, and was wearing a leather jacket with some stains. His skin was dark, and he looked like a manual worker.

The man photographed near the Big Fish Fishing Tackle Shop has slightly long hair, slightly messy, no beard, and looks not in good spirits, as if after a hangover.

The person photographed at the gate of the Xiangye community was wearing a peaked cap and looked a little shy.He stood in front of a shared motorcycle and was talking to a woman who was already riding on the motorcycle.But the woman was only photographed from her back, not her face.

Lu Ming subconsciously felt that the woman was familiar, but he didn't think too much about it.

At a cursory glance, it's easy to mistake the three photos for three people.But if you distinguish carefully, you can tell that this is clearly the same person!

Even Lu Ming didn't expect that the information screening would yield results so quickly.

"Okay! First it was another city where Zhao Zongshan was located, and now it is Haiyuan City. The time and place of each appearance are close to the time and place where key people make key decisions. How can there be such a coincidence in the world!"

At this moment, without further discrimination, Lu Ming already decided in his heart that this young man who looked slightly thin must be related to this incident.

Just as Lu Ming was about to ask Lu Qingliang for more detailed information, he saw He Wei's face gradually turning livid, and even swearing.

"Damn it, it turned out to be him!"

He Wei gritted her teeth: "I've met him, twice! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it... If I had known it was him earlier, I should have given him a back throw."

Recalling the two times when the suspect slipped away from her hands, He Wei felt so regretful that her heart ached.

Lu Ming turned his head stiffly to look at the photo again, looked carefully at the woman whose back was only photographed, and said hesitantly, "This, is this you?"

"Who else can I be?"

He Wei was so depressed that she almost went crazy: "That kid wanted to strike up a conversation with me, but I didn't bother to talk to him, so I just left. I didn't expect that, damn it..."

Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "It was actually a good thing that you didn't find him at that time."
