What Liang An did can be summed up in four words: he had no choice but to do so.
But exposing his identity not only meant that he could legitimately take away the pistol that suddenly appeared, but it also meant that he had to face many questionings. Others would be frightened because of this, wondering why there were police officers among them.
——The truth is exactly what they least want to see, but Liang An also has a lot of helplessness. After all, lying to conceal his identity is justifiable. Lying as a police officer is not only unreasonable, but also cannot be easily justified.
After all, a lie must be covered up with countless lies. Now he not only has an identity, but also hides a person who is quite incapable of judging the situation. He knows him very well and is very good at exposing lies. Although he is an "accomplice", he has never made a confession in this regard. companion.
Not in good condition.
There was no other way, so he spoke frankly and selectively revealed the information about the case that he knew. At least these people who were in a state between vacation and escape instantly fell to the more negative side, and they were all stunned for a moment. , and then wake up in batches.
Li Jiaojiao naturally did not hear this kind of adult conversation, and it could be said that she did not hear the part "I am a policeman" - as a reliable adult, Liang An deliberately avoided her.
"If you want to digest it for a while, I don't have any objections."
Even her father was a little stupid now, so Liang An had no choice but to step aside and keep an eye on this young child who was very capable of running.
After his normal explanation, the people who reacted were not only shocked, but also had their own problems.
"Are you really a policeman?" Wen Yiting was stunned.
In fact, this is indeed something difficult to prove. Liang An's clothes had long been changed and he didn't have a police ID on him. Although he could memorize the police signal and clearly declare his territory and mission, he couldn't prove it in the most basic way in this place where he was thrown back to the most primitive way of life. The truth.
Liang An then raised his hand and showed him the gun cocoon on his hand - maybe this was an anecdote to ordinary people in the past, but now in the era of popular social media, it is still Wen Yiting who obviously knows a lot about relevant information. For people who stand up and make their own decisions, this is basically not a communication problem.
Zhao Yi was very suspicious, "So this gun refers to you?"
He still struggled with the fact that he was the only one in the crowd to be singled out.
"It can't be said to be a reference." Liang An sighed, "I tend to think that the mastermind behind the scenes wants to force me to reveal my identity, which is why we are in this embarrassing situation now."
Wang Chuyue, on the other hand, was not very excited. She just stood closer after looking at it for a while.
"Look at this, you're not a civil servant, right?"
Liang An shrugged, "Don't worry, I will protect you."
However, what surprised Liang An was Zheng Chunsheng. He was always taciturn and did not have much sense of presence. Like everyone else, he didn't know how to react, but then he took the initiative to come forward.
"You mean, this is a serial murder case?" He looked very anxious, his pupils shrank by a small amount, and he seemed quite at a loss.
Liang An was choked by these words, and tried to consider his words, "We can't make a conclusion yet... There is no need to be too pessimistic."
Although he said that, in fact, in his heart, the result was almost determined. It was just a fact that surprised him that such words were spoken so bluntly from the mouth of a potential victim.
Otherwise, where would so many missing people end up? Was he imprisoned on a large scale or sold to a small marginal country as a slave?
Unless there are such uninhabited islands all over the world, all supplies must be available...
The disappearance spanned more than a year, so not everyone can be a Robinson Crusoe.
In this era where even the most fringe areas have at least one mobile phone for senior citizens, there are only a handful of places where people can live for a long time without being able to contact the outside world.
Liang An emotionally sympathizes with the victims, but this does not affect his rational analysis of the truth. But all the conditions must be established on the basis of not making people too panic, that is, lies of appropriate degree.
He then changed the subject.
"Actually, I'm more concerned about the current situation than whether I have a gun or not. We seem to be led by the nose all the time, which is not a good sign."
"You don't know the model of this gun?" Wen Yiting expressed doubts.
Liang An spread his hands and said innocently, "Just because you can use it doesn't mean you understand everything."
However, Liang An concealed some extremely important words. He blurted out almost uncontrollably as he inspected the pistol.
The pistol was a common model used by police, and he may indeed have known its origins—but without confirmation, speculation is only guesswork.
Not to mention reading all the files, he is still aware of the major cases that have occurred in the country in recent years, and the theft of firearms is a huge case, which is enough to make all police officers, whether on duty or not, nervous and fearful.
Not to mention a whole batch of fifteen pistols.
Even though no related shootings have occurred, related investigations and pursuits have never stopped. But the thief came and went without a trace. Of course, there was no blind spot for the guard of such an important weapon, but all the surveillance cameras that day were shut down at the same time, and the guards were also unconscious for different reasons.
Because of this, some people even inferred that this trip was the work of a criminal gang and represented the prelude to a far-reaching criminal incident. Although the security on that day was indeed lax, with only three people participating, it was not an easy line of defense to break through because of the heavy machine protection.
——No one can control so many humans and machines at the same time, at least according to the experience of real crime investigation.
329 gun theft case.
After the incident, in addition to the relevant personnel being held accountable, the police community was also in an uproar. No one could imagine what would happen if fifteen police pistols fell into the hands of a criminal, but this was only the basis of the investigation.
A pistol is a weapon, but it is not the only weapon. In many cases, it is not as scary as a knife. It turns out that corresponding weapons were also circulating in the black market, and this kind of thing was not uncommon.
But from the perspective of senior officials, the incident was not just a potential risk of harm. If such a case were made public, it is conceivable how much the credibility and credibility of the police would be affected.
The only possible consolation is that not many bullets were stolen along with the pistol. But this is only a small consolation, after all, there are still no clues in the case.
On the other hand, a police officer followed the black market bullet sales channel a few years ago and found a seller who sold the same model of bullets, but the chain was broken here - because the buyer's residence at the time was already empty, and it seemed that he was still with a certain person. related to a criminal group that had been destroyed by the explosion.
Because of this, people at the time naturally believed that the gun might have been melted in the fire caused by the explosion, and the rifling and model could not be identified, and it was buried among unidentifiable corpses together with the missing buyer.
