Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang drove to the entrance of the construction site, where the taxi driver was already waiting for them. He showed them the direction the man walked towards. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had a look and realized that the man had entered the construction site.
"The site is sealed off because of the collapse of the building, so no one has used it for a long time." The driver said, "That's why I thought he was a bit strange. He didn't look like a Chinese person, so I remember him."
Bai Yutang nodded and asked the driver to go to the police station to describe the person to a sketch artist. The driver was very earnest as he drove to the police station by himself.
"Cat, be careful." Bai Yutang walked a few steps forward and found that the ground was covered with bricks and rubble. "What does the man you saw look like?"
"Um...He's tall and burly." Zhan Zhao recalled, "But I didn't see his face."
"Oh..." Bai Yutang smiled. "You were only looking at that bag, weren't you?"
Zhan Zhao squinted. "Xiao Bai, why are you asking this? You didn't see that man too, did you?"
Bai Yutang nodded and said, "Just now the driver said he didn't look like a Chinese person, so I thought of the man I saw in the showers earlier."
"In the showers?" Zhan Zhao wondered, "That pervert?"
"No." Bai Yutang said, "Earlier in the showers, there was actually another person in the shower room next door."
"Really?" Zhan Zhao was surprised, "But it didn't feel like there was anyone there at all."
Bai Yutang thought for a moment. "When I went into the showers, he had probably just finished taking his shower. Later, when he noticed that something was going on, he hid himself and didn't come out."
"He didn't come out to help you kick that pervert? He didn't want to be a hero?" Zhan Zhao smiled.
"Ah..." Bai Yutang shook his head and said, "What I care about is that the way he concealed himself was very professional...It seems he might have a military background."
"Oh?" Zhan Zhao was surprised. "Was he working out at the gym?"
Bai Yutang shook his head. "I was exercising in the gym for more than 30 minutes. I had glanced at everyone inside. He wasn't there."
"Then, he went just to take a shower?" Zhan Zhao smiled. "On a hot day like this, it makes sense to take a bath."
"The showers in that fitness place is very unique." Bai Yutang said, "The lockers are very large. Usually, the lockers are small."
"Oh..." Zhan Zhao nodded. "He wanted to find a place to put his big bag, or maybe, someone placed the bag there and he took it."
As they walked on for a while, they saw a big pit not far away.
Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Why is there such a big pit here?"
"It's probably caused by the blasts when this place was getting demolished." Bai Yutang signaled Zhan Zhao to stand next to the pit, while he jumped into it, then squatted down and gently picked up the soil with his hand. As he was wiping away the soft yellow sand, some white bones appeared...Bai Yutang looked back at Zhan Zhao. To his shock...Zhan Zhao, who had been standing on the edge of the pit, had suddenly disappeared.
"Cat!" Bai Yutang shouted, as he took two steps to climb out of the pit. "Cat..." While feeling anxious, he saw Zhan Zhao squatting not far away. When he heard Bai Yutang call him, he turned to look, while holding a big black bag in his hand. "Xiao Bai, look."
Bai Yutang frowned slightly. He suddenly pounced onto Zhan Zhao as both of them rolled on the ground. Then, they heard two gunshots. Two holes from the bullets appeared where Bai Yutang had been standing and where Zhao Zhao had been squatting.
There was nowhere they could hide. Bai Yutang noticed that the gunshots were fired from two different places. He didn't have the time to think about it, as he went into the pit with Zhan Zhao. Bai Yutang drew his gun and shot towards the demolished roof nearby. Then, he saw a flash of light on the roof of the building.
"Xiao Bai?" Zhan Zhao picked up a skull on the ground and placed the black bag above it.
Bai Yutang instantly understood what he meant and raised his gun to prepare.
Zhan Zhao slowly lifted the black bag using the skull. As soon as he revealed a little bit of the bag, he heard a gunshot. A small hole appeared on the bag. At the same time, Bai Yutang stood up and fired...
The action was done in one fell swoop and lasted no more than two seconds. This was also the time required for the shooter to finish the first shot and prepare, aim and pull the trigger for the second shot. When the first gunshot sounded, a man fell from the abolished roof immediately after.
Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao up, and the two of them climbed out of the pit.
"Is it a trap set on purpose?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"It's just a welcome gift." Bai Yutang looked pale and said, "If this pit was 10 centimeters higher, we would have died." With that, he raised his hand and shot towards a tall building next to them.
After he fired the shot, he put the gun back into the holster. Bai Yutang then took Zhan Zhao back to the car and called SCI's people to come and dig another pit.
At the top of the tall building, a man was standing on the roof watching Bai Yutang drive away slowly. The man's binoculars had been broken. He gently exhaled, then looked at the broken binoculars and the bullet left inside. He smiled and said to himself, "Is this payback for I just did? Bai Yutang...He indeed lives up to his reputation."
The man threw the binoculars away then turned around and walked towards the stairs. Then, his mobile phone rang. He answered the call, "Hello? It's me...This place isn't suitable. Let's find somewhere else."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have said something, as it made the man laugh and say, "No, the police here are too good. We can't compete fairly."
.......
It was evening when people from SCI brought the bones from the pit and two bodies from the roof of the building back to the police station.
"Captain." Ma Han hurried back. "Do you know who the two people you shot were?"
"Who?" Bai Yutang was curious. "Were they famous?"
"They are the listed killers of TVA." Ma Han laughed. "They are big shots. You fired twice, hitting one bullet each. You're amazing captain!"
"TVA?" Bai Chi leaned over curiously. "Is that the famous killer organization?"
"There are dozens of wanted professional killers in that organization." Zhan Zhao said, as he looked at the information. "These two are already in their forties."
"They are pawns." Bai Yutang said lightly, "Probably to test the waters."
"Test the waters?" Luo Tian didn't quite understand.
"Testing the waters is the language of those killer organizations." Zhan Zhao said, "Generally speaking, if an organization like this has any big plans, they will first test out the strength of the police in that area. If the water is deep, they will change places. If the water is shallow, it will be easy for them to do things."
"Directly testing the waters with SCI." Jiang Ping shook her head. "It seems that TVA is going to do something big."
"But captain gave them a hard time, so they wouldn't be doing it here, right?" Asked Zhao Hu.
While chatting, someone knocked on the door. They saw Lu Fang walk in. "Xiao Bai, someone is looking for you."
When Bai Yutang looked up, he saw a tall foreigner standing behind Lu Fang, with blond hair, high nose and deep eyes. He had a very standard foreigner appearance and wore a well-ironed military uniform...
"Hi...Bai" The foreigner greeted Bai Yutang warmly when he saw him.
"Ben?" Bai Yutang stood up in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
The foreigner named Ben came forward and gave Bai Yutang a warm hug. "We haven't seen each other for two years, right?"
Bai Yutang greeted the man and looked at Lu Fang, as if to ask, "What is he doing here?"
"Officer Benjamin is the senior commander of the US counter-terrorism force. " Lu Fang said. "He is here to do some skill exchanges. During this period, he is a guest of our police station. He will stay here for a while."
Everyone looked at each other and wondered, what was the anti-terrorism force doing here?
"They asked me to come here to do some exchanges." Ben said to Bai Yutang with a smile, "So, I took this opportunity to come and see you."
Zhan Zhao touched his chin and looked at Benjamin for a moment. With so many people here, Benjamin seemed to pay no attention to anyone. He was just staring at Bai Yutang. He did not introduce himself, which seemed to show that he knew Bai Yutang very well, and that he was also very arrogant. This man's behavior boiled down to an arrogant foreigner who had a crush on that mouse.
Bai Yutang felt a bit awkward. He finally withdrew his hand from Benjamin's hand and asked, "Why are you not doing the exchange at the anti-terrorism force? What are you doing here at SCI?"
"This country is very safe and there is no threat from terrorist attacks, so I am just wandering around." Ben's Chinese was surprisingly good. "Also, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I specifically came to see you."
"You guys talk." Lu Fang smiled, raised his eyebrows at Zhan Zhao, then ran away.
Zhan Zhao thought it was funny. Even Lu Fang saw that the foreigner was interested in Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang looked back at Zhan Zhao and said, "When I went abroad to work on a case, I had worked with Ben."
"Mm-hmm." Ben nodded, as he looked past Zhan Zhao and scanned everyone else. He then asked, "Are these your subordinates?"
"They are my colleagues." Bai Yutang said faintly. "Sit wherever you like. We still have work to do."
"Ok, you guys continue with your work." Ben smiled. He sat down on the sofa and looked around.
Bai Yutang winked at Zhan Zhao, motioning for him to follow, as they went into the office.
"Ahem." When Zhan Zhao entered the office, Bai Yutang closed the door and said, "Cat, don't misunderstand."
Zhan Zhao smiled and looked at Ben sitting on the sofa outside through the blinds. "Impressive, he came for you all the way from America. Captain Bai's charm is unstoppable."
"Stop it." Bai Yutang felt helpless, as he took out his phone and called Lu Fang, "Hey, Lu Fang, why did you leave him here?"
Lu Fang also felt helpless. "Xiao Bai, just bear with it for now. This man has a big temper and pays no attention to anyone. But when he mentions you, he is full of praises. Bao Sir said to bring him to you. He will leave after a week."
Bai Yutang hung up the phone and looked at Zhan Zhao apologetically. "Cat, just bear with it for a week."
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows indifferently. "Well, he's not here to bother me."
At this moment, Zhang Long hurried back with a sketch in his hand. "Captain, the driver's sketch is done."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came out of the office. Bai Yutang looked at the sketch and frowned. "That's him."
"The man you met in the showers?" Zhan Zhao asked.
Bai Yutang nodded. "That's right."
Right at this moment, Ben, who was on one side, leaned over to take a look. He then frowned and whispered, "Bai...You're looking into this guy?"
Bai Yutang turned to look at him. "Yep. Do you know him?"
Ben nodded and said, "It's classified."
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other and asked, "Terrorist?"
"Yes." Ben nodded, looked at the others and asked, "Can you guys keep a secret? I can tell you who he is."
Everyone looked at Bai Yutang, who nodded and said, "You can tell use. Everyone here is a professional."
"Okay, I believe you." Ben closed SCI's doors and said, "This man is Karula, the head of TVA."
"What?" Everyone was surprised. The head of TVA was a world-famous terrorist with nearly 100 professional killers who specialized in terrorist activities.
"Why did he come to S City?" Bai Yutang asked.
Ben thought for a moment and said, "I think I know why he came here...But I can only tell you." With that, Ben looked at the others.
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly. Bai Yutang looked at Ben. "Then it's better that you don't tell me."
"Uh...Don't be angry." Ben felt a bit anxious. "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this is classified."
Bai Yutang nodded and turned around to get back to work. Ben took a few steps forward and said to him, "Okay, I'll tell you. He's here to compete."
"Compete?" Everyone was a little baffled.
"In fact, since Tabor's death, many forces have changed their leaders. TVA's business has been particularly good recently, because there are a lot of organizations that want to seize territories, so they need a lot of killers."
Bai Yutang nodded. "Then what?"
"It seems that other people are also attracted to such a good business." Ben said, "Recently a new killer organization was set up, code-named ZJ. They are very mysterious and have high mobility. Their strength is even better than the traditional TVA, so they have stollen a lot of business from TVA. Hence why..."
"They need to find a clean place and test it out." Zhan Zhao asked, "Then, they will divide the business through a competition?"
Ben nodded, then faced Zhan Zhao squarely for the first time and said, "Are you Zhan Zhao?"
Zhan Zhao nodded. He saw some resistance in Ben's eyes. He had refused to look at Zhan Zhao when first he came in, which indicated that he had actually thought so highly of Zhan Zhao, that he didn't want to face him.
Ben sighed gently and said, "I've heard a lot about you."
Zhan Zhao smiled and did not answer. Instead, he stretched out his hand to Bai Yutang. "Xiao Bai, let me have a look at the sketch."
Bai Yutang reached out and handed the sketch to Zhan Zhao.When their hands touched, the same platinum ring on both hands shone brightly.
