At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, under the leadership of Jiang He, the comrades of the criminal police team screened out three places where "criminal consultants are most likely to appear.

The first is the cultural center where everyone is located, the second is Wanda Plaza in the west of the city, and the last is the Shenglong Center in the south of the city. According to the filing records of the Public Security Bureau, in these three places, on the evening of New Year's Eve, there will be song and dance performances, fireworks shows, etc. arranged by the organizers, especially the cultural center, which has two large bells, so Arranged a countdown event for the whole people.

And this countdown activity coincides with the countdown of the crime consultant. This is also one of the reasons Jiang He believes that criminal advisers are most likely to be here.

According to the data of the organizers in the past years, these three places will gather more than 100,000 people in each place. And the flow of people may reach as many as 500,000. In the event of an accident, the injured may be counted in units of 10,000.

The director of the Longcheng Public Security Bureau personally sits in the Public Security Bureau, the Longcheng Municipal Bureau, the sub-bureaus and even the subordinate police stations are not allowed to ask for leave during the Spring Festival, and even the police who have asked for leave before were recruited back at this moment. Everyone knew that something big must have happened in Longcheng, otherwise the people above couldn't be so nervous.

During this period, all actions were arranged by Mr. Shao, and everyone listened to Mr. Shao's command alone.

Director Bai bent 90 degrees to Elder Shao and said, "The safety of Longcheng will be taken care of by your elders."

There are still forty-eight hours left, and the criminal police team and the policemen from the nearby police station have already made arrangements in these three places, just waiting to have a head-to-head contest with this legendary "criminal consultant". In the past few hours, police have arrested more than two dozen people wearing criminal masks and black cloaks.

Surprisingly, there are men and women, old and young, among these people, which can be described as "all people participating".

After a simple investigation, except for a very small number of these people who are following the trend, the rest are all people who are dissatisfied with this society. Some people complain that the society is unfair to the elderly, and some people complain that the poor children can't afford it. In kindergartens, some people are targeting hospitals, while others are targeting a specific thing.

The current police simply don't have time to argue with these people, they just confiscated their clothes and masks.

However, when all the police were busy, in an empty office, there was a group of people who were making tea.

Shao Lao gently poured the brewed tea into the large porcelain cup, and said to everyone, "You must be very curious, now that your eyebrows are on fire, why am I wasting so much time here to make tea for you. "

Shao Lao distributed the tea to everyone and said, "Look at my porcelain cup, the pattern on the outside has long been worn away. This porcelain cup is not mine, but an old friend of mine. He jumped from the upstairs and committed suicide. You are all people who have lost relatives. Although you are not young, I think you should be able to see through life and death. "

Shao Lao took a sip of tea lightly: "You all know that the crime consultant is a person who does not play according to common sense. If this operation goes well, we will go to Jiang He's house to celebrate the New Year together. If it does not go well, the police cannot When drinking, we will use tea instead of wine. No matter who died, everyone should remember not to forget him. When you look up at the stars, the other party is also looking at you."

Veteran Shao drank the tea in his cup, rubbed the cup lightly, and said, "We try our best to live, but there is nothing terrible about dying. What is terrible is that you live without knowing why. Generations of criminal consultants want to build An ideal world in their eyes, but what kind of world is the ideal world?"

Shao Lao paused and said: "In fact, every generation thinks that the era we live in is the worst era. This era is full of all kinds of problems and all kinds of darkness. So some people admire the past and feel that there are In such an era, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and everything is in order. So some people fantasize about what a utopian world should be like in the future."

"But for thousands of years, there has never been such a world." Shao Lao said seriously to the crowd: "Since the advent of human beings, technology has continued to develop, but human nature has not changed since the beginning. There is nothing new under the sun. , the ugliness of human nature can be seen in any era."

"As long as there are people, there will be darkness." Shao Lao replied: "Technology will help people to live better and better, but you must understand that the world will not be any better, but it will not be so bad. The place has gone. Don't have any illusions, as long as you understand this, you will move forward, and if you can generate a heat, you will generate a heat, and if you can generate a light, you will shine, this is what we are The reason careers exist in this world.”

"This is the world we live in." Shao Lao said: "It won't break, and it won't get better."

Everyone seems to be unable to understand this feeling now, they just silently drank the tea in the cup.

There are only thirty hours left, and it will not be long before the New Year will come. At this time in the past, the policemen of the Public Security Bureau had already started to display the Spring Festival couplets at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, but at this time, everyone had no spare time.

A large number of criminal police and civilian police have already turned into plainclothes and set off.

But at this time, a criminal policeman suddenly found Mr. Shao and said that he had discovered something important.

After Mr. Shao's quick questioning, the criminal policeman said: "We confiscated a person's crime mask before, but this person insisted on getting the mask back and followed us all the way, no matter how we persuaded him not to leave, Until just now, he received a text message, I didn't know it was a prank, but it was really sent to us by a crime consultant."

Mr. Shao took this person's mobile phone, and when he saw it on the phone, he saw a text message from someone else on the phone. Mr. Shao lowered the phone and let everyone watch it together:

At 8 o'clock in the evening on New Year's Eve, put on your mask and cloak, and we will see you at Shenglong Square.

"Shenglong Square." Yuan Jun said, "criminal consultants will appear in Shenglong Square, and we will immediately arrange for the police to go to Shenglong Square."

Jiang He and Shao Lao shook their heads, Jiang He said, "Not necessarily."

Jiang He said to Yuan Jun, "Do you remember the junior high school students we caught in the cultural center this morning, and we immediately took the police to check them out. They received no similar information on their mobile phones. Because Guan Deng's mobile phone did not have any Having received information like this, I am 90 percent sure that this is probably a deliberate smoke bomb by a crime consultant."

Yuan Jun nodded and said, "I'll do it right away, and try to bring those stinky boys back as soon as possible."

Jiang He turned his head to Guan Deng again and said, "You always pay attention to your mobile phone. If there is any news, tell me immediately."

Guandon nodded.

At about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, at Jiang He's request, the police put all the people in black cloaks they caught into the detention center. They all received similar text messages on their mobile phones. In this text, though, the crime counselor asked them to go in a different place.

The police sorted it out and found that it was exactly the same as Jiang He had guessed.

It was the three places that Jiang He had identified.

Shao Lao said: "This criminal consultant is still very tricky. At that time, even if only 30,000 of the 50,000 people go, and they are scattered in three squares, it will not be easy to find him at that time."

"The people who can be dispatched have already been dispatched to these three places." Xu Yiman said: "Originally, during the Spring Festival, when the train station, square, and large shopping malls need to be dispatched, this time, the police in the whole city will be dispatched. There is no need to rest. This criminal consultant really knows how to choose a day, and choose such a day to be celebrated."

"This kid has never played cards according to common sense." Shao Lao said: "But this is not what worries me the most. All of us can see that the criminal consultant's hand is to confuse the public and use tens of thousands of identical clothes. People wearing the exact same mask disturb our police line of sight. But more importantly, in addition to these people, there are more loyal supporters of the more ardent crime consultants, but right now, the crime consultants have not given them tasks ."

Saying that, Jiang He and Shao Lao both looked at Guan Deng.

Guan Deng took out his mobile phone, and the text messages were empty, not even a fraudulent text message.

Yuan Jun scratched his head and said, "Your mailbox is more empty than my wallet."

Shao Lao said: "This is the problem. What exactly does the criminal consultant want you to do?"

Everyone shook their heads.

At this time, Jiang He said, "I am 80% sure that the criminal advisor will appear in the cultural center, and this countdown must have some indescribable relationship with the two clock towers in the cultural center. Come on, I think the crime advisor must be in this place, and it must have something to do with the bomb."

Yuan Jun said: "Then let's go to the cultural center. There are already criminal police, armed police and special police officers. As long as we see people wearing black cloaks and criminal masks, they will all be taken away."

"There is definitely not that many police forces to take it all away. First of all, we are very sure that the crime consultant is a man. Second, he is 1.75 to 1.78 meters tall, weighs between 120 and 140, and is 25 years old. Between thirty-five. That's the only clue we've found after so many fights with him."

Yuan Jun said: "I will notify the units in a while, so that they must pay attention to such people, and they will be arrested when the time comes."

Shao Lao nodded and said, "Let's go to the cultural center."

At this moment, there are only twenty-six hours before the new year.
