Chapter 45 Old thief, die!

After answering the phone, Shen Ke's voice came:
  "Your application has been approved. You can come back to work tomorrow, but you are required to temporarily stop carrying out execution tasks... Also, when you come tomorrow, go to the 23rd floor. Deputy Xia's secretary wants to see you."

"Boss, thank you very much."

"Okay, I'll be busy first. If you have anything to do, come over tomorrow and talk about it."

……

The next morning, Ji Xiu reported to the Law Enforcement Department.

After collecting the key in Shen Ke's office, he went to closet 1032 in the locker room, changed into his law enforcement uniform, and then collected Tong Wan's portable firearm in the gun room on the second floor.

Although Tong Wan is a law enforcement officer of the death penalty team, he also needs to carry firearms with him except on holidays.

The current situation in Yu Jing Country is turbulent, and the forces of chaos are rampant. Wearing the uniform of a law enforcer, it is easy to be ambushed by the forces of chaos outside.

At the same time, as law enforcement officers, you have the obligation to protect the safety of ordinary people. If you encounter an emergency outside, you must take decisive action. This is a disciplinary requirement written in the law enforcement regulations.

Therefore, as long as you are a member of the Law Enforcement Department, you need to carry a gun with you.

And this is one of the reasons why Ji Xiu wants to apply to return to his job.

His initial plan was simple. He would find an opportunity to approach Xia Gengzhu, flash his gun to indicate the shooting action, and then slow down his actions to create an opportunity for Xia Gengzhu to counterattack and complete the soul transfer.

But he didn't know yet whether the development of the situation would be as simple as he expected.

After completing the check-in, Ji Xiu entered the elevator according to Shen Ke's request.

After swiping the law enforcement certificate in the induction area, the red light on the elevator door turned to green, and the surveillance camera turned and focused on his face.

Then "23" on the elevator button lights up automatically, and the elevator climbs upwards.

Arriving on the 23rd floor, the elevator door opened to both sides, and two law enforcement officers armed with guns stood in the corridor outside the door.

Ji Xiu was not surprised by this.

Members of the Law Enforcement Department are the main targets of the troublesome forces. As the deputy manager of District A of Starlight City, Xia Gengzhu can easily become a target of attacks, so the deployment of security personnel is very reasonable.

After walking out of the elevator, one of the law enforcers looked up at him, then picked up the tablet on the table, and after a simple operation, a portrait popped up on it.

After comparing the photos on the flat-screen monitor, the law enforcer nodded at him:
  "go in."

Ji Xiu nodded in response, walked through the corridor to the door at the end, reached out and knocked on the door, and a young man's voice came from inside:

"come in."

Opening the door, there is a room of about 60 square meters. At the end is a door leading to Xia Gengzhu's office. His secretary is a young man wearing rimless glasses. He is sitting at the desk in the corner and reading document.

Seeing him come in, the secretary raised her head and looked at him, smiled and nodded:
  "Tong Wan, right? Sit down."

As he spoke, the secretary pointed to the seat opposite the desk.

Ji Xiu didn't refuse, and immediately came to his seat and sat down. He looked at Xia Gengzhu's secretary and nodded:
  "Secretary Lin."

The man he called Secretary Lin put down the documents in his hand, looked at him and asked:
  "I heard from your team leader that you want to see Deputy Manager Xia to report on the black hole organization. Tell me what's going on."

Faced with inquiries, Ji Xiu naturally couldn't explain the reason.

The person he wanted to see was Xia Gengzhu, not the secretary in front of him. He immediately said:
  "This matter is of great importance. I hope to meet with Deputy Manager Xia and report my findings in person."

Secretary Lin looked thoughtful when he heard this, then shook his head and said:
  "I am Deputy Manager Xia's secretary. If you have anything, you can tell me first, and then I will inform Deputy Manager Xia. You can trust me completely. I will cooperate with him in handling all his work. This is also my responsibility."

Hearing these words, Ji Xiu suddenly felt a headache.

It seemed that it was not easy to meet Xia Gengzhu, but he had thought about squatting at the gate to guard Xia Gengzhu.

However, after reviewing relevant information, I found that this is not realistic.
  There has been a case in the past where the management of the Law Enforcement Department was attacked by troublesome forces at the gate of the Law Enforcement Department. As a result, the exit route of all high-level personnel was changed to the underground garage. From then on, they used the elevator to go directly to the second underground floor and then left by car.

Apart from appointments, it was difficult for him to find opportunities to contact Xia Gengzhu.

This is still Tong Wan's identity as a law enforcer. It would be even more difficult for ordinary people to see him.

Looking at the smiling Secretary Lin, Ji Xiu suddenly had a new idea in his heart.

Is it possible to transfer the soul to Secretary Lin first, and then contact Xia Gengzhu through Secretary Lin?

Of course, this was a choice he had to make. Before that, he planned to try again.

Since you want to contact Xia Gengzhu, you must throw out content that interests Xia Gengzhu. Only when the bait is in place can fish be attracted to take the bait.

After organizing his words, he looked at Secretary Lin and said:

"Secretary Lin, this matter is related to my executioner Li Tan. During his execution, I obtained an information about the divine seal. I cannot report this matter to you for the time being unless I meet Deputy Xia in person. "

Upon hearing the word "divine seal", Secretary Lin's expression obviously changed slightly, but he quickly suppressed his emotions and asked with a smile:
  "What is the divine seal? What does this have to do with Deputy Xia's management?" "Sorry, I can't say."

Seeing that Ji Xiu was still unwilling to elaborate, Secretary Lin nodded after a brief silence:

"In this case, you wait here while I go in and ask Deputy Manager Xia... By the way, I'm curious, if this matter is so important, why don't you go to Manager Wang?"

Secretary Lin said that Manager Wang was the head of the law enforcement department in District A of Starlight City. When asked, Ji Xiu immediately told the story he had prepared, saying that the matter was directly related to Deputy Xia's management, so he approached Deputy Xia. Management negotiations.

After listening to his story, Secretary Lin stood up:

"wait for me here."

With that said, Secretary Lin turned around and came to the door, pressing his finger on the fingerprint verification next to the door.

After a few seconds, the green light on the door lights up and the door automatically opens inwards.

Ji Xiu looked up and saw a five-meter-long passage inside the door, with a security guard holding a gun standing inside.

After Secretary Lin walked into the passage, the door closed automatically.

While waiting, Ji Xiu glanced at Secretary Lin's room and found that there was no camera in the room. He reached for a pen in the pen holder and stuffed it into his shoes.

He had just discovered that there were security guards in the passage leading to Xia Gengzhu's office. He suspected that even if he got permission later, he might be searched in advance and asked to put down his weapons before entering.

This will cause him to lose the threat to Xia Gengzhu.

After imagining this possibility, his first thought was to find another weapon for emergency use.

The only thing here that can be used as a weapon is the pen in Secretary Lin's pen holder.

After waiting for less than five minutes, the alloy door opened to the inside, and Secretary Lin came from inside.

"Come in with me."

After hearing Secretary Lin's answer, Ji Xiu immediately stood up and followed Secretary Lin into the passage, and came to stand in front of the guard.

"You need to unload your weapons before going in."

Ji Xiu had already been mentally prepared for this. He immediately took out the pistol from his holster and handed it to the armed law enforcement officer standing at the door.

The guard who took the pistol nodded, turned around and pressed the switch of the door behind him.

The metal door leading to Xia Gengzhu's office moved to the right, and through the gradually expanding cracks, Ji Xiu could clearly see the scene inside.

Xia Gengzhu's office is very large. The glass is made of one-way transparent glass, which allows you to directly overlook the city scenery. Xia Gengzhu is sitting on the sofa, wearing casual clothes, with a set of exquisite tea sets in front of him, and he is sipping tea. Hanging on the wall behind him are four large characters "Justice and Integrity".

"Go in." Secretary Lin said at this time.

After hearing this, Ji Xiu walked into the office from the security guard, and the door closed at this moment.

"Young boy, come and sit."

Xia Gengzhu's face was filled with a warm smile, and he nodded to him cordially and said hello.

After coming to the sofa in front of Xia Gengzhu and sitting down, Ji Xiu glanced at the room with his peripheral vision. At this time, Xia Gengzhu handed him a cup of tea and asked with slight interest:

"I heard from Xiaolin that you want to talk to me about the divine seal. What exactly is this divine seal, and is it related to the black hole organization?"

After making sure that Xia Gengzhu was the only one in the room, Ji Xiu didn't bother to continue talking nonsense with him. He reached out and took out the pen he had prepared in advance from his shoe, opened the cap of the pen with his thumb, and rushed towards Xia Gengzhu in the face of Xia Gengzhu's unbelievable expression.

Although he had a fierce expression and assumed an assassination stance, Ji Xiu's movements were not fast.

But what Ji Xiu didn't expect was that Xia Gengzhu's reaction was also very quick. Although he was over fifty years old, he walked up from the bottom of the Law Enforcement Department. When he saw the steel pen stabbing his neck, Xia Gengzhu immediately raised his right hand to resist.

The sharp pen tip pierced Xia Gengzhu's palm, causing blood to splash. Xia Gengzhu let out a cry of pain at the same time as Ji Xiu pulled out the pen and stabbed it again.

This time, Xia Gengzhu was on guard, and he lunged decisively to one side. This blow was originally going to hit Xia Gengzhu's butt, but Ji Xiu deliberately slowed down and allowed Xia Gengzhu to get up and run towards the window seat. desk.

Ji Xiu followed closely with a pen in his backhand.

Xia Gengzhu, who was behind the desk, reached out and pulled out a black pistol from the back of the desk. He was about to point it at him with a flick of his wrist. When Ji Xiu saw this, he realized that his goal was about to be achieved, and immediately rushed towards Xia Gengzhu viciously:
  "Old thief, die!"

boom!
  The trigger was pulled.

A spark suddenly appeared, and the bullet passed through Ji Xiu's heart, causing blood mist to hit the coffee table not far away, and the glass shattered with a crisp sound.

Ji Xiuneng could clearly feel his heart twitching twice. Severe pain instantly filled his whole body, and a strong feeling of weakness lingered in his heart.

The body that lost resistance first knelt down with sore knees, then leaned forward and fell to the ground, and the pen slipped from his right hand.

The moment Ji Xiu fell to the ground, Xia Gengzhu, who was holding the gun and wanted to pull the trigger again, also collapsed and fell to the ground, losing consciousness.
