Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The masked man and the smoking man were obviously relieved after destroying the camera outside, and then they picked up the tools and approached the rolling door.

But as soon as I reached the rolling door, I was stunned. In addition to the regular lock, there were two U-shaped locks, and they looked the sturdiest type.

"Brother, this is too mean. Who would install two big locks outside the rolling door?" The masked man looked obviously unhappy and started complaining.

"What? Can't get rid of it or don't want to do it?" The smoking man didn't have that much patience. Although he guessed that the Self-Defense Forces would not patrol over here so quickly, it didn't mean that he could completely relax.

The mask only revealed a pair of eyes that showed complaints and helplessness, but she still did not dare to resist in front of the smoking man, and her tone was still submissive, "It's not that I can't, it just takes some time."

"Then hurry up and stop talking nonsense." The smoking man turned around, obviously wanting to leave all the troublesome matters to the man, while he would be responsible for keeping watch.

The masked man rolled his eyes in his heart, but for now he could only obediently follow his instructions.

It took nearly ten minutes to pry open the padlocks. The masked man was so tired that he even forgot that he was shivering from the cold just now, and now he was sweating from exhaustion.

I originally thought that I could just pull down the rolling door and then pry open the glass door inside, but I didn't expect that there were several more padlocks on the glass door.

The two were stunned, especially the masked man who almost cried out in a low voice: "Seven locks, is this boss sick?"

The smoking man looked at it for a long while, and finally frowned and said impatiently: "Okay, hurry up."

The masked man gasped, but resigned himself to his fate and started to pick the lock.

The smoking man was a little nervous at the moment, mainly because these padlocks and the cameras that were destroyed before were revealing a message. The store owner had already made preparations in advance, especially since the cameras were still running just now. Could it be that everything they did now had been transferred to someone else's computer?

But this thought quickly flashed through his mind. Even if that were the case, what could it matter? No matter how fast the other party was, they could not be as fast as himself. It would only take a few minutes to break in and smash the things. Even the Self-Defense Forces could not catch up in this time. Moreover, Zhou Xiaojuan said that the store was owned by a young female boss who usually went out to deliver goods alone and lived some distance away from here.

When the two entered the store, it was still pitch dark inside, but a red dot in the upper left corner was like a pair of eyes watching them in the darkness.

monitor?

The smoking man sneered, but this time he did not smash the camera. Instead, he pulled the masked man and pointed at the shelf.

The masked man then took out his cell phone and shone a light. He originally thought that there would be vegetables and fruits on the shelves, and they even brought two snakeskin bags tonight. But when he shone the light, the entire store was empty. If you didn't know, you would think the store had been robbed tonight.

Didn't they say they were still open this afternoon? If that was the case, the shelves were too clean, right?

It is generally impossible for business people to put away all the goods in the store after work. Doing so would only cause trouble in reorganizing the shelves the next day. But the store was indeed too clean at the moment. There were even only two shelves with traces of repair, which were broken by them last night.

But everywhere else, even the chairs at the cash register were inexplicably gone, leaving only bare walls in the entire store.

The two people felt that something was wrong and were beginning to consider backing out.

The smoking man's tone immediately became nervous: "This is not right, no, we can't stay here any longer, we have to leave quickly!"

The masked man was not stupid. He turned around immediately after hearing this. But at that moment, he didn't know what was going on. It went into his calf from his trouser leg. The touch was icy cold, like some kind of reptile sticking to his skin. He could even feel that there seemed to be needles on the thing, which stung when it scratched his skin, but the feeling soon disappeared.

Seeing that the masked man didn't move, the smoking man turned around and cursed: "Are you stupid about this fucking thing? What are you still standing there for? Get out of here!"

The masked man opened his mouth, but then the cold object seemed to crawl into his left trouser leg again. He thought it was a snake, so he immediately shook his feet frantically and lowered his head to see what it was, but it was too dark in there. When he shone the light of his mobile phone downwards, he could only see the toes of his shoes.

Seeing that the smoking man was already seven or eight meters away from the door, the man in the mask didn't care about anything else and immediately followed him.

But before the two of them had gone far, they saw a white light shining on them from afar.

"Two people in front, don't move!"

Along with this stern voice, several white lights shot out one after another. It turned out that those white lights were flashlights. In front, one could vaguely see six or seven people approaching this direction quickly.

"It's the Self-Defense Forces! Run!"

The smoking man gritted his teeth, turned around and ran wildly, without even looking back.

In fact, the smoking man had already figured out the patrol time of the Self-Defense Forces here. He had been observing nearby before they came, and deliberately waited for the Self-Defense Forces to pass by near the unfinished building. He waited for about half an hour before he decided to take action.

According to normal time calculations, it would take at least an hour and a half for the first round of patrols at night to pass by this place, but why did they return here in less than half an hour?

The smoking man had no time to think about the trick. He only knew that the most important thing at the moment was to escape.

The smoking man reacted quickly. He deliberately turned from the alley in front before the Self-Defense Forces caught up with him.

He had scouted the area in advance before coming here, and since he was quick-witted and had a natural confidence in his sense of direction, when he arrived at the alley, he ran in the direction he remembered very familiarly.

But the masked man following behind was not so lucky. Although he also wanted to run, his body seemed to be controlled at this moment. As soon as he took a step, he felt a sharp pain as if a high voltage electric current ran through his body, causing him to fall to the ground and twitch instantly.

After a short while, the Self-Defense Forces came up and pressed him to the ground with his hands behind his back.

The masked man could only open his mouth in despair and shout "Big Brother", but he had to tremble because of the severe pain in his body. It was not known whether he fainted in the end because of the excessive stimulation or the excessive tension.

A familiar face appeared behind the Self-Defense Force. Xu Hang walked up to one of the Self-Defense Force members and asked, "Captain Liu, what's going on?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I guess he fainted because he was too scared after being caught. Take him back and lock him up first. We can interrogate him after he wakes up."

"So that's how it is." Xu Hang nodded, but smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work tonight, Captain Liu, for asking your men to turn back."

The man shook his head. “What’s the point of working so hard? And I have to thank you for the clues you provided. If you hadn’t reminded us, we wouldn’t have been able to catch anyone tonight. It’s just a pity that one of them escaped. There are not many psychics in our team. If we had taken action before he ran away, he wouldn’t have been able to leave tonight.”

Xu Hang still had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes fell on the unconscious man on the ground, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

The boss lady was right. Since these people were so rampant as to smash the store, they would not mind committing crimes repeatedly. And judging from the way they smashed the store, it should be to vent their anger and take revenge. Therefore, they would definitely take action in the next two nights, which is why they entrusted me with their help in advance.

Fortunately, Xu Hang didn't have much to do during this period of time. He often looked at his phone until two or three in the morning. Tonight, he just wanted to take a look at the surveillance camera in the store before washing up and going to bed. Unexpectedly, there were two sneaky shadows on the originally deserted block. Then the screen turned black and Xu Hang knew that something had happened in the store.

Xu Hang immediately put on a coat and came out. When he came out, he called Captain Liu of the Self-Defense Force, whom he was familiar with, and borrowed a colleague's motorcycle. He rushed over in just over ten minutes.

Fortunately, this trip was not in vain, as they really caught a thief. Now they just have to wait for this man to wake up and interrogate him according to the procedure. He was also very curious about who the proprietress had offended that made the other person take revenge to such an extent.

An hour later, when Gu Tongwan and Yan Fan arrived, the lights at the gate of the Security Bureau were still on.

On the other side, the smoking man ran all the way, at an unprecedented speed. He made a circle before he ran to the place where he parked his motorcycle. As soon as he returned to the rental house, he immediately packed up and left. While packing his things in the rental house, he thought viciously that if he was betrayed, he would never let the masked man have an easy time, and even make the person who betrayed him pay a heavy price!

Is he really just an ordinary fruit and vegetable store owner? Otherwise, why would the Security Bureau make such a fuss over a simple vandalism case?

Just as he walked downstairs, he heard the sound of a motorcycle horn in the distance, and he was so scared that he hid in the corner.

There were two motorcycles in total, and the people who got off the motorcycles were from the Security Bureau. They were even wearing black uniforms for carrying out their missions.

The Security Bureau was indeed very fast. After they brought the masked man back to the bureau, they began to interrogate him. At first, the guy was unwilling to cooperate and pretended to be deaf and dumb, like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. As a result, the experienced team members used a set of interrogation methods, and the guy obediently told the truth and confessed all his accomplices.

In fact, the masked man had a criminal record before. He was sent to prison for theft when the base was just built. However, because the management of the base was not so strict at the time, and it was the most serious period of population explosion, he was released after only half a month in detention.

However, the prison environment is extremely bad. There is only one meal a day, which is brown rice porridge with pickles. The inmates have to accept the embarrassment of not being able to take a shower and can only wipe their bodies with wet towels. Moreover, there are nearly seventeen or eighteen people living in a cell of more than ten square meters. Every day the air is filled with all kinds of sweat, stinky feet and body odor. The floor is always dirty and damp. There is only one shared urinal and washbasin for going to the toilet every day. It is no exaggeration to say that life in there is like hell every day.

The people from the Security Bureau took advantage of his fear and threatened him, and the masked man immediately confessed everything.

However, the masked man only confessed that he came to smash the store with the chicken coop man and the smoking man the night before. He did not dare to explain the reason. Not only because the smoking man warned him not to mention Zhou Xiaojuan, but also because Zhou Xiaojuan's father was a small leader in the unit, he knew many people and had a wide network of contacts. Even if he really gave Zhou Xiaojuan away, I am afraid that the Zhou family will have a way to get Zhou Xiaojuan out of this matter.

When Gu Tongwan rushed to the Security Bureau, the people there happened to be conducting the final interrogation of the masked man. Unfortunately, the masked man looked like he had confessed everything, and his expression was tired and listless. His mouth was tight, and he was no longer willing to say a word to the staff of the Security Bureau.

When the staff came out and saw Xu Hang, they shook their heads and said, "No, this guy is determined not to continue to confess. Although we suspect that there are other people involved, there is nothing we can do if he keeps silent. Besides, this incident is just a case of vandalism and theft. There are too many people like him in the base, and the prison can't hold him there. Unless we can find something else from him during the follow-up investigation, we can't sentence him to a heavy sentence."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Xu Hang smiled and patted the other person's shoulder, then looked at Gu Tongwan on the side. "Boss lady, I will follow up on this matter to the end. If you are assured, leave it to me."

"Thank you very much. It's really troublesome for you to make this trip so late at night." Gu Tongwan really didn't want to cause too much trouble for others, but he turned around and said to the staff member just now: "Can I go in and say a few words to him?"

The staff member did not agree immediately, but because the other party was a beautiful girl, it was difficult to refuse her with harsh words, so he could only turn his attention to Captain Liu next to him.

Captain Liu nodded slightly and said, "It will only take two minutes at most. Outsiders are generally not allowed to enter the interrogation room, but since you are the victim in this case, maybe we can really get something out of you. However, I still have to say one more thing, please pay attention to your own safety."

"Captain Liu, thank you."

The lighting in the interrogation room was very dazzling. It was the kind of bright incandescent lamp that hung from the ceiling, making the interrogation room of dozens of square meters as bright as day.

The masked man had his head hung, with a "silver bracelet" on, and looked listless. He didn't react at all until Gu Tongwan walked in.

Gu Tongwan didn't intend to waste time with him anymore. He stood across the table and said calmly, "Zhou Xiaojuan?"

As expected, the masked man reacted. He suddenly raised his head with a flash of astonishment in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and still looked depressed.

Gu Tongwan did not continue to ask, because all the answers had already been obtained from his slightly trembling legs and flickering eyes.

Before leaving, Gu Tongwan suddenly asked, "By the way, there were three of you before, and you said you didn't know where the other person went. Do you think he really just ran away?"
