Chapter 414： lack of evidence

Chapter 414 Lack of evidence

Wang Tao was suddenly a little strange when he saw the news about Gu Yun.

 Cui Sheng asked Wang Tao before if he had any plans to serve in the city hall, and Wang Tao directly expressed no interest.

Compared to working as an official in the city hall and dealing with interpersonal relationships, he still prefers to hunt zombies outside to improve his strength.

Even if it is just a false position and being a salary thief, Wang Tao is not very interested. If he takes a temporary job, he won't be able to do nothing. He's not that thick-skinned, so he has to do something, and this may delay his ability to improve. After all, he has limited energy and no clone...

Gu Yun mentioned this matter once before, but after seeing that Wang Tao was not interested, he stopped talking about it.

Now, Gu Yun suddenly talked about this matter again, and said that he must ask Wang Tao to agree. This made Wang Tao a little confused, but he happened to be going to the city hall, and he would know what was going on.

Wang Tao first replied to Gu Yun, saying that he would be there later, and then replied to Jiang Hui, saying that he would be there immediately.

“Does it feel like the snow is a little heavier today than yesterday?”

When he went out, Wang Tao looked at the snowflake in his hand.

"seems like it."

Jiang Shixue nodded.

“This **** weather!”

Wang Tao came to the garage. There was snow outside the garage and the car couldn't get out at all. He called on everyone to clear the snow quickly. But there is also snow outside the gate, and there is a thick layer even on the road.

“Let’s walk slowly…”

You still need a car when going out in this kind of weather. The snow on the road has never been cleared, and it is accumulating more and more. His car is no longer good. Even if Wang Tao is an experienced driver, he must be extremely careful on the road.

Wang Tao was wondering if he should go to the Sixth Army Corps station to get a tracked armored vehicle and drive it there. It was a car he bought himself and parked in the Sixth Army Corps. However, there is no riding experience in that kind of car, and driving that kind of car on a daily basis may be a bit of a torture...

At this time, Wang Tao suddenly received another message, from Qu Shilin.

"Wang Tao, do you have time to come here? Or should I go find you? Your car has been modified and can drive smoothly in this kind of snow!"

“I was just talking about the car...I’m going to find you!”

Wang Tao’s eyes suddenly lit up.

The city hall, police station and research institute are all in one place, just down the road.

On the road, Wang Tao drove very carefully and spent a lot of time before finally arriving at the research institute. Fortunately there were no cars on the road, otherwise it would have been even slower. Of course, in this kind of weather, few people except Wang Tao are willing to go out...

When Wang Tao came to the entrance of the research institute, he did not see Qu Shilin, but he saw a very powerful and domineering tracked vehicle.

"This...couldn't it be our off-road vehicle?"

Because the shape of this car was completely different from before, but when Wang Tao was still a little suspicious, the door of the tracked car opened, and a slender figure came out and waved to Wang Tao. This person was Qu Shi Lin.

"It really is?"

Wang Tao quickly drove over.

“Wang Tao, how is this car modified?”

 Qu Shilin spoke to Wang Tao, who had just gotten off the car, and breathed into her hands. Although she has a third-level superpower physique, it does not mean that she is not afraid of the cold. The temperature outside is too low.

“Very handsome!”

Wang Tao first praised, and then said curiously:

“But is this really a modified version of my car? I can’t even recognize it at all…”

The shape of this vehicle is completely different from the previous pickup truck. In addition to the wheels being replaced with tracks, it is also larger and angular than before... Of course, the entire vehicle is also covered with bulletproof armor. Look It looks very powerful and domineering, and has a sense of technology (the reference picture is as follows, borrowing the picture from "That Game 5").

However, this tracked vehicle lacks a body. If it were to pull a truck of zombie heads like before, it might not be convenient...

“Haha, it’s normal if you don’t recognize it. Except for the crystal energy engine from your previous car, I kept everything else brand new...”

 Qu Shilin explained with a smile.

“No wonder!”

Wang Tao nodded, and then he and Jiang Shixue came to the tracked vehicle together.

Due to the small size of this crystal energy engine, the space inside is larger than Wang Tao imagined. It is not a problem to seat more than a dozen people.

Qu Shilin asked Wang Tao to drive it in the snow himself. It must be said that this kind of track looks relatively stupid, but in fact it is relatively flexible.

In particular, Qu Shilin told Wang Tao that after some modifications to the violent mode, it no longer mentioned the top speed uncontrollably as before. Now it accelerates linearly. The car can give Wang Tao whatever speed he wants. How fast is he? This improvement is quite good. When he turned on the violent mode before, he felt like "people are flying in front and the soul is chasing behind"...

But these are not the biggest features of this car. The most awesome thing about this car currently is its modular design.

"What you see now is not the full form of this vehicle. For example, the tracks can be quickly disassembled and replaced with wheels. For example, the size of the carriage can be increased, the body of the vehicle can be increased, and various weapons can be added... Of course, there are many things at present It hasn't been manufactured yet, but it should be out soon, because this winter may be long, and we also need such a car..."

Qu Shilin explained to Wang Tao.

For Wang Tao, it doesn’t matter what kind of weapons he has. The biggest benefit this car brings to Wang Tao is that he can ride in the snow without any hindrance!

Originally, Wang Tao felt that it was impossible to leave the city under such heavy snow. After all, even if he could bear it, the car would not be able to bear it.

Without transportation, even if they are awakened ones, they will not be able to move long distances in such cold weather.

But if there is such a tracked combat vehicle, it will be different. Maybe they can leave the city!

Anyway, the energy source used by this kind of car is crystal cores. Crystal cores are very easy to carry, and Wang Tao has a lot of them. As long as there are enough crystal cores, there is no need to worry about the battery life of the car. As long as the cold resistance and stability of this car are tested in the follow-up test, they may really be able to go out of the city!

You know, the zombies outside are all frozen! If he kills zombies at this time, wouldn't he be able to take advantage?

“Theoretically, it’s no problem for this car to go out of the city in this environment. But theory is just theory after all. You need to test it more, which can also provide us with some data for reference..."

Qu Shilin said with a smile.

“Okay, then I’ll test it out in the next few days!”

“Okay, I’m waiting for your good news!”

After Qu Shilin got off the car, Wang Tao drove the tracked vehicle to the police station.

Jiang Hui was waiting for Wang Tao in the lobby. When he saw Wang Tao getting out of the windy tracked vehicle, Jiang Hui was suddenly a little surprised. This seems to be something from the research institute, but with Wang Tao's status, it is normal to get these things.

“Mr. Wang! Ms. Jiang!”

Jiang Hui hurriedly ran to Wang Tao's side.

“Captain Jiang, you said you found out important information, what is it specifically?”

Wang Tao asked curiously.

"Mr. Wang, please come with me!" Jiang Hui brought Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue to a conference room. As soon as Wang Tao entered, he saw that it was very warm, and then he saw Xiao Hei lying comfortably on a furry blanket. In front of him was a queen Installed fireplace with a large fire burning inside. It also has two burning braziers on the left and right. There are also various foods and water placed next to it...

“Good guy, you are here to be a master...”

Wang Tao was speechless.

After Xiao Hei felt Wang Tao's breath, he immediately crawled over and rubbed Wang Tao's hand acting coquettishly.

After Jiang Hui invited Wang Tao to take a seat, he said:

“Mr. Wang, according to my investigation, Mayor Yao’s death is most likely related to one of the three deputy mayors!”

“Oh? Is it highly accurate?”

Wang Tao is not surprised. After all, according to his speculation, these deputy mayors were obviously one of the beneficiaries after Yao Guodong's death.

"Very high! I'm 99% - no, 100% sure, it's one of the three of them! It's just that I encountered some resistance during the investigation and was discovered by them. The murderer has most likely already been Knowing that I have found something, it is almost clear now, it depends on whether I can find it faster or the other party can destroy the evidence faster!"

While speaking, Jiang Hui handed Wang Tao a detailed information.

There were too many words in the information. Wang Tao was too lazy to read it, so he asked Jiang Hui to give a brief report.

To put it simply, Jiang Hui found out everything about the three deputy mayors’ recent whereabouts, financial transactions, and even their food, drink, and diarrhea. Then he discovered a lot of things that were wrong. If he assumed that they were the murderers, then these things would be correct.

It's just that this information can only show that their suspicions are high, and Jiang Hui doesn't have the kind of conclusive evidence in his hand.

"So I said one of them must be the murderer, maybe even more than one! But now they know that I have found them... I want to ask you, should I continue to investigate? If I continue to investigate If so, it might be an earthquake for the city hall..."

Jiang Hui's tone was a little excited and a little worried.

Stability is the first factor at all times.

Yao Guodong is dead. This is a fact that cannot be changed. In fact, rationally speaking, it is best to stop the investigation now, at least until the heavy snow passes.

If the investigation continues now, one or even several deputy mayors will definitely be found out, and the impact will be even greater by then. After all, these deputy mayors have great powers in their hands. If they are arrested, the Changhe base will not only stop operating directly, but will at least be greatly affected. After all, if you pull out the carrot and bring out the mud, who knows how many people will be involved. Then the impact of this may be greater than Yao Guodong's death...

So Jiang Hui couldn't make up his mind now, so he had to ask Wang Tao.

Wang Tao thought for a while and said:

"Continue to investigate. This kind of black sheep cannot stay in the base. Although it may have some impact on the stability of the base, your investigation of them has been exposed. Whether you investigate or not, the other party may take action." It may lead to a bigger threat, so it’s better to cut through the mess quickly and solve the problem quickly!”

Even Wang Tao felt that he could just arrest these people first and then talk about it, just like how he dealt with Qiu Rong and the others.

But this is not the wild after all, this is a base where rules need to be followed. There is no need for Wang Tao to break the rules, otherwise he will be doing the right thing with everyone.

However, Wang Tao was a little confused. He had seen the deputy mayors and they were not poisoned... But if he thought about it carefully, if the "deacon" knew that the so-called holy medicine was poisonous, then he would definitely not take it himself. of…

"Okay!" With Wang Tao's words, Jiang Hui suddenly became full of motivation. "Then I will continue to investigate! The reason why my investigation was discovered by the other party was actually because I relied on the black snake boss by my side, so It’s relatively rough, and many people have to give me face... Although this will make many people unhappy, it is really efficient. In three days at most, I can find out who or who the murderer is! "

Jiang Hui is very confident. The source of his confidence is Xiao Hei and Wang Tao.

But it’s normal. When he went out to investigate this time, he always took Xiao Hei with him. Whoever dares to hide something, Xiao Hei can scare the person out of his wits just by opening his mouth, and immediately tell him everything he can.

This feeling of “overpowering others with power” is simply not a good feeling! Although this will make his reputation worse, it doesn't matter, he is on his lap now! And as long as he can find out the murderer, his reputation will be reversed instantly. As long as Wang Tao can protect him from revenge, his future will be bright!

“Okay, then you go ahead and get busy, I’ll go check on Li Xin.”

“Okay, I’ll take you there!”

Li Xin and Qiu Rong both changed to a comfortable room, but were still in the police station.

Qiu Rong had woken up, but her condition was not good for the time being. Wang Tao did not go to see her, but went directly to see Li Xin.

“Mr. Wang…”

As soon as Wang Tao entered the door, he saw Li Xin looking at Wang Tao with some anxiety.

She washed herself inside and out yesterday, and put on clean clothes today. She was originally in good condition, but now she looks soft, frail, and pitiful.

“What do you want to say to me?”

Wang Tao looked at Li Xindao.

"I'm sorry Mr. Wang, I lied to you..."

Li Xin lowered his head.

“Oh? Didn’t you say you told me everything?”

Wang Tao smiled.

"sorry…"

Li Xin just kept bowing her head and apologizing.

“Okay, tell me, what did you lie to me about?”

Li Xin looked a little embarrassed and explained:

"I...Sister Rong brought a health medicine before. She said that the medicine will increase human abilities in various aspects, and is suitable for both men and women...I tried some myself, and the health medicine really made people feel comfortable, even though I was confused. Going to bed with Sister Rong... ahem, that's what it meant. But this health medicine seems to have a side effect. It will occasionally make people confused for a while, but it doesn't have much effect... so I secretly gave Yao Guodong some. I became confused after drinking this health medicine, and then I went out..."

Wang Tao felt that Li Xin was not lying through mental observation, and he was suddenly a little surprised.

 No wonder Li Xin is so tough-talking. It turns out that she doesn't know about the Twilight Church... But it's reasonable. Qiu Rong can't tell Li Xin everything right away. This requires a process.

"I really didn't mean to kill Yao Guodong, Mr. Wang, please believe me! It was just an accident. I really don't want to die..."

Li Xin knelt down in front of Wang Tao. She didn't think Yao Guodong's death was related to her before, but after Wang Tao asked some questions yesterday, she thought she had killed Yao Guodong, and she felt very guilty. Of course, she She was also afraid of death, so she looked for Wang Tao again.

Just when Wang Tao was about to say something, Li Xin said again:

"By the way, Sister Rong said a few days ago that she would take me to buy health medicines tonight. Mr. Wang, if you go buy some of those medicines, you will know that I am not lying!"

“Oh? Today? Where are you?”

"at…"

Li Xin immediately gave an address.

Wang Tao suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Hui still lacks decisive evidence, isn't this coming?
