Chapter 229: Hydra
Gan Jing received a call from the police, quickly closed the pharmacy and rushed to the seaside villa with Mina Tangde, looking at the messed up villa, Gan Jing only felt a cramp in his heart.
The detective in charge of investigating the theft stepped forward to tell Gan Jing about the situation, and then asked him to light up how many valuable items had been lost in the villa.
Gan Jing nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and took Mina Tangde to check and tapped lightly.
When Mina Tangde followed Gan Jing to search the villa again, she already had some foundation in her heart, and it was obvious that Ling Xiao did not tell Gan Jing about the Heavenly Soldier Battle Armor, otherwise she should have gone to the basement to investigate as soon as she returned to the villa.
As the two handed over the list of lost items to the investigating detectives, an inconspicuous black car pulled up outside the villa, and Kate Beckett stepped out of it, followed by the famous writer Richard, who had been here the other day.
"Kate, why are you here?" Seeing Beckett's appearance, Gan Jing frowned slightly, and greeted him directly.
"I also heard that your villa was burglarized, so I hurried over." Beckett scanned the scene and couldn't help asking, "Ling, there is such a big incident in his own family, why can't he even see a figure?" ”
"Ling He went to New York, and now he should still be on the plane, and the phone can't get through." Gan Jing explained two sentences with a sad face.
"Oh!" Beckett's face couldn't help but change slightly, it happened to be when Ling Xiao was away, and something happened in his villa, which was really interesting!
Thinking of this, Beckett hurriedly asked, "How is it, Gan Jing, have you lost anything important at home?" ”
"It's fine." Gan Jing shook his head slightly, and said with a sigh of relief: "The things that are placed here in the villa are not important, and most of them are still in the pharmacy, and the loss is not big." ”
"That's good!" The doubts in Beckett's heart were still not solved, she glanced at the police detective who was in charge of the investigation on the side, and then said to Gan Jing: "I'll go over and help you ask how the situation is, you should quickly contact Ling Xiao and ask him to hurry back from New York, if there is such a big matter at home, it is too unreasonable to let that person deal with it." ”
"Hmmm! I know! Gan Jing nodded at Beck with some gratitude, watched her walk towards the police detective over there, and took out his mobile phone and pressed Ling Xiao's number, but the voice on the other end of the phone was still turned off, and Gan Jing's heart was inexplicably a little empty.
"What, can't you get through?" Mina asked with some concern, and when she saw Gan Jing nodding, she continued: "He shouldn't have arrived in New York yet, you can send him a message and ask him to call you back as soon as he gets off the plane." ”
"I know." Gan Jing barely squeezed out some smiles on his face, and nodded slightly at Mina.
Looking at Gan Jing's unyielding appearance, Mina smiled secretly in her heart, her attention was more focused on Beckett on the other side, compared to Gan Jing, she believed that Ling Xiao would tell some secrets to Beckett, after all, the personalities of the two were too different.
The police left after an hour of searching the villa, and Beckett learned from the detective in charge of the investigation that there were no other clues to all these thefts except for some footprints, and he could only hope that there would be lost property on the market in the future, and then he could carry out further investigation, and for now, there was little hope of solving the case in a short time.
It's only been four hours since Ling Xiao left Los Angeles by plane, and he still has to land in New York for a while, so Gan Jing had to take Mina Donde to clean up the villa first, while Beckett left with Richard first, she wanted to check with the police station to check if there were any similar cases recently.
It wasn't until two hours later that Ling Xiao called, Mina heard it clearly beside Gan Jing, Ling Xiao said that he had just gotten off the plane, he needed to deal with some things first, and he would come back tomorrow morning, as for the villa, Ling Xiao asked Gan Jing to leave it alone, go back to the pharmacy first, and wait until he returned to Los Angeles.
Hanging up the phone, Gan Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although Ling Xiao didn't say many things, but Gan Jing also knew that Ling Xiao was hiding some things she didn't know about this side of the villa. Ling Xiao didn't say it, and Gan Jing never asked, but this time the theft of the villa made her a little flustered.
However, Ling Xiao's calm tone on the other end of the phone calmed Gan Jing's mind, and it was obvious that there was nothing too important in the villa.
Ling Xiao and Gan Jing's call, Mina Tangde listened to it all, she couldn't help frowning, could it be that those people really didn't succeed? It's strange, why hasn't there been any news from those people until now, is something wrong?
This question remained unanswered until the evening, as the mercenaries never called her back, and Mina had to separate from Gan Jing and use all sorts of methods to find out where they were.
The Los Angeles pier at night has a special beauty, with a soft breeze blowing from the dark sea, a faint coolness and refreshing spleen.
A police car with no police lights on came from a distance, and finally stopped some distance from the pier, and the two patrol officers who had entered the Ling Xiao villa earlier to search got out of the car, looked around, and made sure that there was no abnormality around before walking towards the edge of the pier.
"Miss Tang De, we're here!" Two patrol officers stood respectfully behind Mina Donde, who had her back to them, as if she were watching the seaside scenery.
"Did you find any clues?" Mina Donder turned to look at the two men, and this afternoon she had sent for all the places where the pair might have been, but no one had seen them, and there was no sign of anyone ever going back to their residence.
An inexplicable premonition rose in Mina Donde's heart, and she vaguely sensed that the group of mercenaries she had sent was afraid that something had happened.
"Miss Donde!" A patrol officer stepped forward and said, "The two of us visited the Malibu Pier, where two people did see a speedboat coming out of Matador Beach, but according to their description, the speedboat did not go in the direction of downtown Los Angeles, but went directly to the depths of the sea. ”
Mina frowned, and couldn't help but ask, "So, those people are still alive?" ”
The two patrolmen glanced at each other, and one of them stubbornly said, "It should be alive, the two of us think that they should have temporarily wanted to take that armor for themselves after getting it, so they didn't show up after leaving the villa." ”
"Is that so?" Mina couldn't help but wonder, but rather than the mercenaries swallowing the armor alone, she was more likely that they had an accident in Ling Xiao's villa and were caught red-handed and disposed of.
Taking a deep breath, Mina Donde spoke again and asked, "Tell me in detail about some of the details of your previous visit to the villa." ”
"Yes, Miss!" Although they didn't know what Mina Donde was thinking, the two men honestly told them everything about their trip to the villa.
As soon as the specified time came, they used a temporary phone to call the police, and then took the police to Ling's villa as soon as possible, on the one hand, to prevent accidents, and on the other hand, to help the previous group of mercenaries deal with the follow-up, after all, they are more professional in some aspects.
"So, they did leave the makeshift villa alive." After listening to the details of the two of them, Mina Tangde had to come to the same conclusion, she frowned and said, "Could it be that some other force is secretly intervening?" Well, anyway, send a notice to the other branches to assist in the investigation, pay close attention to the traces of those people, and the armor, where you usually find the appearance of that armor, and report it immediately! ”
