Chapter 42: Molten City with Turbulent Undercurrents
“Take it, take it, I just bought the magic prop card, don’t let me ruin it.”
“Thank you, Brother Li.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly thanked her and got a brand new playing card. Although it was a prop card, it was not much different from ordinary playing cards, otherwise it would not be possible to distinguish the fake from the real one.
She couldn't wait to leave here, found a deserted place, tore open the package and took out a few sheets.
Then he took out a piece of carrot with worm eyes that he brought out from the restaurant, and with a little effort, he easily cut it open with a playing card.
“It’s easier to cut things with poker, so cutting leaves must be even easier.”
After coming to this conclusion, Zhou Xiaoxiao looked around, narrowed his bright eyes, and suddenly flew out the playing cards in his hand.
—Crack!
Unfortunately, the accuracy was out of control, and it could be said that the playing cards were flying in the east and west. The playing cards that were originally intended to fly into the trash bag accidentally flew onto the cleaning lady who came over to clean.
“Oops, it’s crooked!”
Zhou Xiaoxiao lowered her head angrily and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, auntie, I didn't mean it."
The cleaning aunt walked up to Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly, slapped her forehead gently, and whispered in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing naughty girl? Your leader just passed over there."
Zhou Xiaoxiao apologetically held up her hands and said, "I was wrong, Auntie."
The cleaning lady looked through the playing cards in her hand and saw that it was the Ace of Hearts. She immediately remembered something and whispered:
"I didn't expect you, this little girl, was playing poker. You lost it in the lounge last time, right? It's a proper entertainment, but don't affect your work, otherwise Auntie won't be able to hide it for you."
"I know, auntie, but what about last time..." Zhou Xiaoxiao looked confused.
“Come on, my aunt helped you clean up the mess last time. Today you are throwing away playing cards again. If the leader sees it, he won’t teach you a lesson.”
“I was wrong, auntie, and I will never lose it again.”
After Zhou Xiaoxiao made some reassurances, he put away the playing cards angrily and returned to his office.
Although he was educated, Zhou Xiaoxiao also solved some doubts in his heart.
“It seems that this flying card technique can indeed be practiced, but cutting fallen leaves in the air is too exaggerated. Poker cards can improve accuracy, but their power is always limited.”
“But if playing cards are mounted on a grinder, they should also have cutting power, and the wounds caused by that..."
Jingle Bell…
Zhou Xiaoxiao was wandering and thinking wildly when her cell phone rang suddenly.
“Hey, Team Chen, what’s going on?”
“Hurry up after eating and go to the office for a meeting. The meeting organized by Director Zhang will start in five minutes.”
“Huh? Why did Bureau Zhang organize you call me?”
“You handled the robbery case beautifully last time. Director Zhang is deliberately cultivating you. I was bullshited and came late to make you look good!”
“I’ve had dinner early, I’ll be there soon.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly cleared the dining table and quickly went to the desk drawer to get the meeting book.
After a while, Zhou Xiaoxiao arrived at the small conference room in only three minutes.
Seeing that it was a small conference room, Zhou Xiaoxiao knew in her heart that today's meeting would not be simple.
Pushing the door open, I found a group of people already sitting in the room, waiting for the meeting to be held.
Zhou Xiaoxiao glanced around and saw that there were more than ten people present, and three men in military uniforms were sitting next to the main seat, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Even the military came. It was obvious that this meeting was unusual.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was still in the internship stage, and she knew that she was being ignored, so she chose a seat next to the wall outside the main conference table.
After a while, Zhang Zhenghuai led Captain Chen into the conference room.
“Everyone is here, let’s start today’s emergency meeting.”
After Zhang Zhenghuai sat down, he looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the man in military uniform.
“Everyone here may be wondering why comrades from the army will participate in today’s meeting. So let me briefly introduce to you that these are Commander Xu and Political Commissar Li of our local garrison area, as well as Deputy Commander Wang.”
Zhang Zhenghuai introduced the three military men one by one.
Among them, the man called Captain Xu is particularly eye-catching, because he is really fierce-looking, has a big bald head, and is very big. He is a full 1.9 meters tall. He looked like a king of soldiers when he was young.
It is Xu Jiajia’s father, Xu Kui.
The three of them also nodded slightly to everyone.
Everyone was not suitable to applaud in this serious occasion, so they nodded in greeting.
Subsequently, Xu Kui slowly stood up at the signal of political commissar Li, and his eyes signaled the comrade who was playing the projection to project the information on the big screen.
Xu Kui then cleared his throat and said straight to the point: "Hello, comrades, I will tell you what is going on."
After Xu Kui’s brief introduction, everyone gradually understood the content of today’s meeting.
It turned out that Xu Kui and others were carrying out a secret mission to eliminate international mercenaries.
This group of mercenaries acted very strangely. Xu Kui and others failed to wipe out the mercenary group in one fell swoop several times in battles with each other.
Just recently, he learned that two mercenaries from the group had appeared. Xu Kui led his people to track them all the way to the vicinity of Rongyang City, and finally found a trace of the other party's whereabouts.
He was also puzzled at first, why did this group of people come to Rongyang City?
However, as the investigation deepened, Xu Kui discovered that the target mercenary had actually gathered a group of people in Rongyang City.
Xu Kui did not act rashly before the identity of this group of people was determined, so he informed the relevant departments of Rongyang City about the matter.
With the help of Bureau Zhang, the situation has finally been clarified recently.
It turns out that the group of people brought up by the mercenaries turned out to be a group of tomb robbers with a criminal record!
At first glance, it looks like two teams that couldn't get together for eight poles, but now they are working together.
This is not surprising.
It is precisely because of this that the armed mercenaries and tomb robbers pursued by Xu Kui got mixed up, and today's emergency meeting was convened.
Because tracking down mercenaries is the task of the military, but tomb robbers are not under the control of the army.
With the cooperation between the military and the police, Director Zhang immediately decided to prevent the mercenaries and tomb robber gangs from causing trouble in Rongyang City, and kill them all in one fell swoop!
Then Zhang Zhenghuai directly opened the projection cloth and said: "This group of tomb robbers has a certain degree of armed strength and is extremely vicious. They are Class A fugitives.
And now, at least two very dangerous mercenaries are involved, which has increased their ability to commit crimes.
Although we don’t know why mercenaries and tomb robbers got together, and what is their purpose? But Captain Xu and the others pursued these two mercenaries all the way to our Rongyang City, so for our police this time, it is not just a tomb robbing case, but also to assist the military comrades within their capabilities to arrest the mercenaries. !
