The thieves come and go without a trace, leaving only sporadic traces of use to prove something happened.
Liang An himself was not interested in knowing much about this strange gun theft case. However, since his direct boss was also an excellent colleague and friend of his master, the legendary "detective" in the police world at the same time was particularly concerned about this, so he just passed through the relevant information a few times.
After all, new people arrive and naturally have to learn a lot.
Liang An has never been someone who likes to accept the rules completely. He has been like this from the beginning, but maybe he is not as fearless, arrogant and bold as he was later, and he usually seems more like an ordinary person who is "easy to bully".
But at this moment, when he saw the same model of firearm, his trigeminal nerve immediately reminded his brain that memory is not a strong point. This may be the other side of the deeper meaning of the concern of the senior officials in the case - this is indeed a code, but it is not aimed at him. A rookie detective who shouldn't be taken seriously.
It's just that he now has one more thing to cover up.
But before considering how the two cases are related, he has not finished what he is doing and needs to deal with the impasse here.
"Anyway," Liang An coughed lightly, "I don't know if this thing can be used, but no matter what, it's best to leave it to me for safekeeping, including the bullet. In case something happens and the chamber explodes. It’s dangerous…”
No one had any objections.
This is also a lie, obvious to those in the know.
After all, there is only one bullet and the pistol body, and there is no such danger without even a complete magazine. However, it is within the scope of the explanation - Liang An does have the need to persuade others to let him keep the firearm, and he can do so without expressing his support. Exaggerating for safety reasons without trusting the people on site.
If there is someone here who is very familiar with this matter, and can look suspiciously or point out the situation... then there is a high chance that he or she has some unnecessary knowledge about this gadget. Since Zhao Yi had just asked around and found no clues about the relevant personnel, concealing it at this time would mean even more suspicion.
Liang An will not miss any opportunity to test and screen out the suspect.
However, apart from this, there is someone on this island who has a high probability of understanding this matter...
When things got to this point, the remaining people were already mentally distracted from the aimless search, so they naturally expressed the need to return to their residences.
Liang An also needed to prepare his response in advance - by coincidence, a few of them returned by car, and Jiang Qiu and Zhao Qiang also arrived.
"Actually, I only met Dr. Jiang when I was a child." Liang An smiled awkwardly and stopped Jiang Qiu, who frowned again and wanted to ask questions. "We have been studying together from elementary school to junior high school. He knew that I became a policeman, and he also Just follow my words and tell a little lie. If you mind, it's all my responsibility and it's none of his business."
Although Jiang Qiu didn't understand what it meant to watch people's emotions, Liang An, who had been well prepared, had already instilled in him a simple system that could adapt to changing circumstances, and he could behave relatively naturally.
He nodded.
"So he is not your colleague?" Wen Yiting raised his eyebrows. He did not witness the actual situation and did not know the huge randomness contained in it. He thought that Dr. Jiang might also be a police officer along the way.
Jiang Qiu himself shook his head.
"It sounds like you... have gained a lot?" Zhao Qiang looked around, looking at these people who had basically accepted the situation, feeling a little confused.
A person who calls himself an "extra actor" suddenly claims to be a police officer. It takes some time to digest.
Even Jiang Qiu noticed something was wrong, but maybe he got the clue from Zhao Qiang's reaction, and then turned to look at Liang An.
"Don't underestimate my ability."
Liang An shrugged and whispered in his ear.
He spent a lot of effort along the way, not only able to dispel these people's fear of the fact of "murder" and establish a new image for himself, but also used many half-true and half-false "case-solving stories" to make them completely believe this. fact.
Of course, the selected cases are all content of the files with happy endings. In fact, they are not cases handled by Liang An, a newcomer who has not been involved for a few days. He even glorified some of them in the rare cases, and even His identity was changed to that of an older detective.
For example, a child who was abducted twenty years ago was verbally changed to two years before he left home. Another example was a kidnapping case in which a child who had been hospitalized for one year due to violence by the kidnapper was changed to three days to be discharged from the hospital, and he happily ate the Mid-Autumn Festival. mooncakes...
Even though the subject was unclear, he also deliberately spoke in a chatting tone, as if he was willing to share out of temperament rather than to prove his identity. It not only shortens the distance, but also subtly makes people believe that the person in front of him who calls himself a policeman is quite cheerful and reliable.
In order to change the situation from a stagnant situation to a normal state, this was Liang An's countless white lies.
Jiang Qiu's expression changed after hearing what he said. Liang An thought he wanted to find fault, but he heard such words.
"You really are a liar."
"Excuse me." Liang An had no room to refute.
"A born liar." Jiang Qiu added with firm eyes.
Of course, Liang An knew that his companion's words never contained praise or criticism, but only stated the facts, and might even settle old scores in this regard.
In order to ensure not to expose too much privacy, as the person being identified, Liang An felt it was difficult to continue the topic, so he spread his hands to show his approval.
Although things have changed like this, they still need to deal with basic food, clothing, housing and transportation issues, such as collecting water, selecting and distributing food, etc... But now Wen Yiting is unlikely to actively interfere with Liang An's own actions and let him There is more room for investigation or observation.
——Only the scrutiny of others is hard to ignore.
"What's your purpose for doing this?"
As a doctor, and because of the reason for his kidnapping, Jiang Qiu originally belonged to a group of people who were classified separately, so he came over to communicate when there was time.
This does not refer to exposing the identity of the police. The foreshadowing of gunfire and bullets is too natural. Jiang Qiu, who is well aware of various regulations, can also connect the situation with the text. What he cares about is Liang An's current situation. He is standing in a just right position, on the edge of a position where he can observe other people's situations and take advantage of himself.
Seems a little so irresponsible.
Liang An made a silent gesture and glanced at the door.
It has been some time since I learned the facts, and whether it was temporary vigilance or continuous curiosity, it has been fermenting for a while. This also means that from now on, everyone's reaction can become the criterion for judgment.
Standing where he was, Liang An turned around and passed by the door quite calmly. He seemed not to look sideways, but in fact, his peripheral vision was focused on the few people he had observed earlier.
The footsteps were neither fast nor slow, neither loud nor small, just enough to let people know that this was not Jiang Qiu's usual brisk pace. It might belong to the police officer who had left the team inexplicably.
Seeing their reactions, Liang An also felt more confident.
