Chapter 64
63 Exposure
"..."
Being looked at by his colleagues, the scarf woman couldn't help but nod with a dark face.
"What he said is all true. This aspect is indeed my fault. I didn't make preparations in advance and just calculated based on the ingredient prices reported by the field team, so I casually said a price of one silver wheel... but this person should also have a problem!"
After glaring at Leon, who distracted her and let the rebel run away, the female police officer named Yisha took a deep breath, pointed at Leon, and said seriously:
"In order not to delay the surveillance, after discovering that the price was too high, I immediately gave a low price to stabilize him, but he not only kept secretly observing me, but even observed the target's room!"
"I was just casually..."
"It can't be a casual look! And it can't be a coincidence!"
After interrupting Leon's words, the female police officer twisted her willow eyebrows and questioned with a firm face:
"There are more than a hundred rooms in that building across the street, and there are thirty or forty that can be seen from the coffee stall. Why did you just stare at the target's window?"
"..."
"No... why are you still suspecting me?"
Seeing the secret police throw suspicious eyes again, Leon could only say speechlessly:
"If I were really a rebel, I should have run away when you blindly lowered the price!
Speaking of which, have you ever been to this kind of coffee stall? Excluding the coffee, the things you served me could at least be sold to five people at other stalls, do you know that?
As a result, you only charged two copper wheels for so many things. You went to set up a stall in the cold wind early in the morning, and obviously didn't expect to make money. Then you are not watching someone, are you going to provide heating for this street?"
"You... don't change the subject!"
Being teased by Leon's somewhat sharp sarcasm, the female police officer felt embarrassed, slapped the table, and said angrily:
"What I'm asking is not how I was exposed, but why you kept staring at the target's window!"
"I stared over there because you stared over there. As for why I looked at your target..."
After briefly explaining his judgment process, Leon said helplessly:
"Although I felt you were wrong, I really didn't expect myself to be so unlucky that I would run into secret police catching people while buying coffee on the way to work.
Plus, I am also from the Police Bureau, considered half a policeman, so I followed your gaze and glanced twice. Who knew you would react so strongly and throw away the target to interrogate me?"
"..."
After looking at the female police officer who was speechless, Leon, who was uncomfortable from being handcuffed, couldn't help but urge:
"Sigh... you guys think too much, I'm really one of you! Speaking of which, it's almost noon, have you verified the certificate yet?"
"You... don't think this is over, you still have..."
"That's enough, Yisha!"
After stopping the female police officer who still wanted to say something, the scarred strong man who scolded from the second floor earlier extinguished his cigarette, pointed at Leon, and said expressionlessly:
"Take off his handcuffs."
The female police officer was slightly startled when she heard this, and then questioned:
"But the certificate is still..."
"The file department hasn't sent the results back yet, but his certificate has all the signatures and seals at all levels, and the rebels shouldn't be able to do it so meticulously, so as long as we rule out the possibility that he is an insider, we should let him go."
"Yes..."
Biting her lip unwillingly, the female police officer lowered her head and walked over to unlock Leon's handcuffs.
Although she was an outstanding beauty, Leon had not been at peace since eating a meal early in the morning, and had been handcuffed into the interrogation room and sat on a cold iron chair for half a day. His heart was already full of anger.
After moving his wrists that were rubbed red, looking at the female police officer's expression that was still unwilling and seemed to want to interrogate him for a while, Leon couldn't help but hold back his anger and stabbed a sentence:
"It's almost noon, right? Thank you for Miss Yisha's generosity. If it weren't for the portion of bread you gave this morning being so sufficient, I would be hungry now!"
"You!"
After hearing Leon's sarcasm, the female police officer, who first lost the rebel and then lost face, couldn't help but have a dark face. She seemed to want to talk back, but finally held it back, bit her lip, lowered her head, and said with forbearance:
"Sorry, it's all my judgment error, delaying your time, very sorry!"
Although her voice was very tight and this apology was not very sincere, considering that the other party belonged to the kingdom's secret agency, Leon didn't entangle too much, but turned to look at the scarred strong man who scolded from the second floor earlier.
"Excuse me, can you return my certificate to me?"
"Of course."
After hearing Leon's request, the scarred strong man with knife marks all over his face grinned, revealing a smile that was enough to stop children from crying, then got up, took the certificate on the table, handed it over, and smiled:
"I've heard a little bit about your bureau, and our department occasionally encounters situations that need your bureau's help. I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate with you in the future."
"..."
Cooperate with me as a "cleaner"? That would only mean encountering abnormalities, right? Are you sure you want this opportunity?
"Easy to say, easy to say..."
Being made awkward by the other party's not-so-auspicious polite words, Leon mumbled twice, then followed a secret police officer out of the interrogation room.
After the others left one after another and only two people were left in the room, the female police officer who had been holding back for a long time let out a heavy breath, then gritted her teeth and questioned:
"Why didn't you let me continue to interrogate him?"
After raising her eyebrows covered by knife marks, the scarred strong man asked back:
"Interrogate what?"
"Of course it's what happened four days ago!"
The female police officer said angrily:
"Four days ago, a masked man in black beat up the editor-in-chief of the social edition of the 【Daily News】 in a restaurant on Qinhua Street, and then took a car to the headquarters of Charle Department Store.
And this person was smashed and injured by gold wheels a few days ago and appeared on the entertainment edition of the Sun Newspaper. I looked at the photo taken of him at that time, and the outfit was exactly the same as the masked man on Qinhua Street!"
"Hmm, and then?"
"And then he interfered with the arrest of the rebels today, kept trying to entangle me, and let the rebel who participated in the assassination of the Princess run away!"
The female police officer said anxiously:
"If he hadn't appeared today, I could still think it was a coincidence, but now I can be sure that this person definitely has a problem!"
"Yes, I also think he has a problem."
After nodding and acknowledging the female police officer's judgment, the scarred strong man lit a cigarette again. On his face, which was illuminated red by the sparks, those crisscrossing knife marks were like poisonous snakes twisting constantly.
Only to see him say slowly:
"Nobles are just lice in the crotch. Once they suck blood until it hurts, they should be picked out and crushed to death!"
After repeating the words of the "masked man", the scarred strong man smiled and said:
"After saying such amazing words, he actually dared to approach you with his real identity and cover the target's retreat this time. He is the boldest opponent I have ever seen!
Hehe, if it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have thought that the rebels had already mixed into the Police Bureau, and even joined that extremely dangerous Cleaning Bureau! This person is definitely a big fish that is hard to imagine!"
"I seem to understand..."
After thinking for a while, the female police officer frowned:
"So... the reason you didn't catch him is to let a long line catch a big fish? To lure out more rebels?"
"No."
After extinguishing the cigarette in his hand again, the scarred strong man leaned back in his chair and said with a smile:
"You think too much, he is from that Cleaning Bureau, I just simply don't dare to catch him."
Female police officer: ???
