Chapter 2, The Veteran

Not yet, we have just arrived at the crime scene. However, according to the guys at the county bureau, Zhao Haiping is hiding in the mountains behind Zhaojiayuan. Twenty-five minutes ago, the brothers from the county bureau, along with the local armed police, had already sealed off the entire mountain road. I believe we will have a chance to meet!

Nonsense

As your good brother, of course I would not harm you, right

No!

"What exactly is Zhao Haiping's background that it has caused you to suddenly become so effeminate?" Ouyang Zhuo exclaimed, his eyes wide open, "Immediately provide me with his information!"

Ouyang Zhuo gritted his teeth and said decisively: "OK! Damn it, Feng Zhicheng, you consider yourself a brother who grew up in a military compound, hiding in the dormitory to sneakily eat fried dough twists together? It is only today that I realize how dark you really are!"

Thirty minutes later, Tang Qian's phone rang. After answering, she reported to Ouyang Zhuo: "Zhao Pan died by suicide. She overdosed on Guonongle on the afternoon of September 21, 2006, just two days ago, due to a breakup. By the time her mother, Zhang Yanhua, discovered her, her heart had already stopped beating, and her body was cold. Therefore, she was not sent to the hospital, and the body was cremated at 10:00 AM yesterday."

Ouyang Zhuo knew that no secret was a secret in front of his brother, and he honestly said: "Well, he not only killed seventeen militia members in Tunkou Township, but also stole their weapons"

Notify Li Rui from the municipal bureau to access the provincial database to search for information on Zhao Haiping. At the same time, please coordinate with our superiors to contact the leaders of the provincial military district to see if we can obtain Zhao Haiping's information with their assistance

Then, I advise you, my brother, that you may pursue him, but you must ensure that all safety precautions are in place. Never again should you recklessly charge to the front, nor should you rely on your marksmanship and agility to act impulsively in a bid to be a hero

Feng Zhi Cheng said softly: "Tell me the truth, is this Zhao Haiping you are looking for involved in any criminal case?"

Ouyang Zhuoban's expression changed, and he spoke each word deliberately: "You may choose not to disclose his information to me, but I must convey my thoughts to you, which are... justice will prevail over evil"

Ouyang Zhuo's expression gradually became serious and solemn. He said in a deep voice: "I do not wish to play the hero; I simply cannot stand by and watch criminals brazenly trample on the law. Upholding the dignity of the law and protecting the safety of the people is my duty as a captain of the criminal police team"

I heard the sound of sirens from your phone; are you currently pursuing him?

Ouyang Zhuo nodded noncommittally and continued to listen to Tang Qian's report: "As for Zhao Haiping's service record in the military, colleagues from the county bureau accessed our city's public security system database, but found no results. After contacting the recruitment office, they expressed their willingness to cooperate with our work; however, due to the passage of over a decade, there have been several personnel changes at the recruitment office, and their office has also relocated. Whether Zhao Haiping's information can be retrieved is something even those staff members cannot guarantee.

The voice of Feng Zhicheng already carried a hint of pleading: "I don't want Maotai anymore, nor do I want any fine cigarettes, is that not enough? Just listen to your brother's advice this once, keep your distance from Zhao Haiping! Trust me, if he truly loses his rationality or is pushed to the opposing side of society and begins to kill indiscriminately, then you wwwhetushucomcom will definitely not be his match! The three of us brothers once emulated the oath of the Peach Garden, vowing to share blessings and face difficulties together, but now the eldest brother has been missing for a full ten years, and I do not want to lose you, this good brother, again! Trust me, if he truly loses his rationality or is pushed to the opposing side of society and begins to kill indiscriminately, then you wwwhetushucomcom will definitely not be his match! The three of us brothers once emulated the oath of the Peach Garden, vowing to share blessings and face difficulties together, but now the eldest brother has been missing for a full ten years, and I do not want to lose you, this good brother, again! ! !"

While bickering with Ouyang Zhuo, Feng Zhicheng quickly typed on the keyboard. After entering Zhao Haiping's information, he gently pressed the Enter key. When Zhao Haiping's information appeared on the computer screen, the smile on his face suddenly froze completely. Through the database connected to his computer, Feng Zhicheng could indeed find information about Zhao Haiping, but apart from his name, age, and gender, all other information about Zhao Haiping was represented by a question mark, indicating that higher permission levels were required to access it.

I am sorry, but even I do not have the authority to access his information. However, I can roughly guess the department he served in. If you trust your brother, this time take my advice and keep your distance from him

Ouyang Zhuo took out his phone from his pocket, entered a phone number, and after the call connected, the other party whispered in complaint: "Ouyang Zhuo, you know our work regulations very well. You are absolutely not allowed to answer personal calls during work hours. Sharing my confidential number with you is a violation of the rules. Calling me at this time is clearly a way to kick your brother hard!"

After assigning the tasks, Ouyang Zhuo closed his eyes and leaned his body against the back seat of the police car in the most comfortable position. Everyone discreetly kept quiet, trying not to disturb Ouyang Zhuo's thoughts. For a moment, the entire cabin was filled only with the low murmurs of Tang Qian conversing with the comrades from the county police department and the sharp wail of the siren.

Ouyang Zhuo rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense!"

"Come on, cut the crap. Just seeing you, Captain Ouyang, sitting there makes even the owner of the Qian Gui Entertainment City feel nervous. What kind of hostess would dare to walk right into the line of fire? Don't play any fake games here. Two bottles of Moutai, one pack of Furongwang. If it's a deal, just say 'OK'; if not, just say 'NO', and we can part ways amicably. We can still be good buddies who share the same interests in the future"

After a full forty-five minutes, Tang Qian's phone rang again. She listened for just a few moments before her eyes widened in disbelief. "Li Rui accessed the provincial department's database, and it has been confirmed that Zhao Haiping is indeed an active-duty military personnel. However, we are unable to find any record of his service details. The relevant officials from the provincial military district are also assisting us in locating Zhao Haiping's information, but they have not made any discoveries either. In their database, there is no record of Zhao Haiping at all, nor is there any identification number or affiliated unit! Currently, the comrades from the provincial military district are helping us expand the search area and are in contact with other military districts to request their cooperation in the search."

Ouyang Zhuo, we have been good brothers since childhood. We once sneaked into the orchard to pick apples together, and we also sold grapes with our older brother. We often fought together on the streets, didn't we?

After issuing the aforementioned command, Ouyang Zhuo closed his eyes once more, while the police car continued to speed forward

Hehe, who told you to always give me empty promises, making me yearn for something unattainable? As soon as I saw you calling at this time, I knew you must have something to ask of me. Please provide the names and identities of the individuals you are looking for, preferably along with their ID numbers. I will reply to you immediately once I have any news

Ouyang Zhuo did not waste words and said: "Help me check on a person. All expenses at the money cabinet afterwards will be counted as my brother's. Even if you want to find a girl to sit at the table and pay for her appearance, I will pretend that my eyesight is fatigued and I see nothing at all"
