Zhe took a deep breath, tried hard to adjust himself, and then opened the store door.
"Citizen, excuse me, we are conducting a routine inspection on the Public Security Department!"
After the leading police officer said hello to Chao Zhe, with a wave of his hand, two heavily armed police officers rushed into the video store.
The two had a clear division of labor. One was rummaging around in the store, while the other headed straight for the stairs.
Zhe looked at this scene and tried his best to act like a citizen who was 'offended but didn't dare to get angry'. He squeezed out a smile and said hello, "Two police officers... please be gentle. This small shop is running on a small budget, so don't ruin it!"
But no one paid attention to him, and after a few minutes, the two people who searched him returned one after another.
"Report to the captain, the second and third floors are normal."
"Report to the captain that everything is normal in the store and no illegal items were found."
The leading police officer put away his baton and slowly glanced around the store, finally landing behind Zhe: "Citizen, may I ask where this room is?"
Zhe: "Officer, this room is a utility room. It contains some personal belongings and old video tapes. It's messy and dirty. There's nothing interesting about it."
"Oh?" the leading police officer raised his eyebrows, "Since it's a utility room, open it and let me take a look. With the election approaching, we need to ensure the safety of the jurisdiction. Routine inspections are good for you and me."
"Officer, it's really unnecessary..." Zhe subconsciously took a step forward and blocked the door.
"Sorry, citizen. Please don't change the subject. From now on, your behavior has aggravated the suspicion. This is the last reminder, please cooperate."
Zhe was still thinking about his words, but the smile on the leading police officer's face had completely disappeared.
He squeezed Zhe away, and the two subordinates behind him stepped forward at the same time. Although the muzzle of the gun was not raised, their hands had already grasped the grip and were blocking Zhe.
In the back room, in front of the HDD screen.
Ling's fingertips left an afterimage on the keyboard, and the sweat on her forehead trickled down her cheeks.
Fairy's interface was beating like crazy, but the more anxious she became, the more the code seemed to be working against her, and she couldn't finish the last command.
At the door, Bangboo Little 6 realized that there was going to be a leak, so he ran to Ling's feet, tugged on her trouser legs, and pointed to the door that was about to be opened.
However, Zhe's fingers did not dare to stop for a moment. Zhe was blocked by two police officers - he watched helplessly as the leading police officer grasped the door handle and slowly pressed it down.
[Still not working?]
[Griseo, help!]
This idea arose in the hearts of both brothers and sisters at the same time.
It is very similar to when Pain invaded Konoha, Sakura knelt on the ground, Despair looked up at the sky, and shouted - "Please, Naruto!"
If Griseo were here, [Discipline] would be able to solve the problem, but unfortunately Griseo will definitely not be able to save the situation this time.
The next second the warehouse door was opened, a crisp sound sounded.
"Wait!"
Zhu Yuan and Qingyi walked into the video store. Zhu Yuan raised his hand in a military salute and said:
"Hello everyone, after receiving the latest order, the security inspection in nearby blocks needs to deploy additional manpower. Please go to the reinforcements immediately. Sixth Street's report inspection will be taken over by our Criminal Investigation Special Operations Group."
The three police officers paused for a moment. The leader frowned and looked at Zhu Yuan, his eyes resting on the shining star on her shoulder badge for a second.
They say that the first level of officialdom kills people?
With the gold content of Zhu Yuan, it is more than three levels higher than them?
Even in New Eridu, the 'name of power' is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The three people quickly raised their hands and returned the gift. "Copy that!"
"Thank you for your hard work, colleagues." Zhu Yuan put down his hand and spoke in a very polite tone.
Watching the three police officers walking out of the store and the sound of the patrol car's engine sounding away, Zhe leaned in front of the counter and exhaled slowly. The shirt on his back was soaked with cold sweat.
In the back room, in front of the HDD screen, Ling tried to stand up, but her knees were as weak as cotton.
She stretched out her hand to support the edge of the table and barely managed to steady herself. After sitting down, she tried to pick up the water glass, but her hands were trembling and she almost spilled the water.
Outside the door, Qingyi walked slowly to the counter, supported his chin with one hand, looked at Zhe with a joking face, and said, "Manager Zhe, your video store doesn't have a big business, but you have a lot of skills, right?"
Zhe: "..."
Seeing senior Qingyi as big-hearted as ever, Zhu Yuan looked helpless and had to take action on his own.
Zhu Yuan looked at Zhe and said in a businesslike tone, "Manager Zhe, Sixth Street's inspection has been assigned to our group. Don't worry."
Qingyi glanced meaningfully in the direction of the HDD room, smiled slightly, and said nothing.
"Thank you both..." Zhe just started, but was interrupted by Zhu Yuan raising his hand.
"No need to thank you. Please explain the current situation carefully."
Not long ago, she received two emails in succession, from different addresses, and the contents were surprisingly consistent - causing her to quickly rush to the Sixth Street video store.
The signature on the letter is Fairy, which is understandable. Senior Qingyi herself said that she has some friendship with this artificial intelligence housekeeper in private.
What puzzled Zhu Yuan the most was another letter.
A private message from a member of Municipal Government, but it was a notification sent in a personal name. Who has such great ability to let Municipal Government know about it?
Or is it dark in New Eridu?
"This matter... is a bit troublesome to explain." Zhe rubbed his eyebrows, "You two should come inside."
He pushed open the door to the inner room and turned sideways to let Zhu Yuan and Qingyi go in first.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, they saw Ling slumped on a chair, her face turned pale, and there were water stains everywhere.
Zhe's eyes fell on Ling, he was silent for a second, and then looked at Ling's trouser legs.
"... Ling, do you want to go to the bathroom and clean up first?" Zhe's tone was cautious.
"???"
Ling was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head following Zhe's gaze. There was a puddle of water that she had leaked while drinking tea. She instantly understood what her brother was thinking.
My brother thought she was so scared that she peed her pants!
Ling's face suddenly turned red, she grabbed the cup and threw it towards Zhe.
"This is tea, bastard brother, what are you thinking about!"
Zhe ducked sideways, Zhu Yuan had quick eyes and quick hands, and said awkwardly, "Two store managers, your daily life... Let's put it aside for now, let's talk about business first."
Qingyi walked to the sofa and sat down. His eyes fell on the HDD screen that had come back online. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. "It seems that your smart housekeeper is really clever."
It turned out that Fairy, who had put the HDD system online again, immediately dialed the communication device of Hollow Special Operations Section 6.
Fairy has dialed.
After hearing the voice of Qingyi, a cold voice immediately came from the channel without any greeting. "Zhu Yuan, Qingyi. Let me explain the situation."
Zhu Yuan paused for a moment, a trace of surprise flashed across his pupils, and blurted out. "This is...?"
Qingyi took the answer, "Hollow Special Operations Section 6, Void Hunter, Hoshimi Miyabi."
