They turned right after going out and walked along the commercial district. When they reached the end, they turned a corner and walked another fifty meters. Then the two of them stopped in front of a game store named "Guangying Game Hall".
The first floor of this store wasn't very large, only about seventy to eighty square meters, but it immediately stunned Lei Ting at first sight.
Because in front of the store, there was actually a Transformer figure as tall as a person! And the craftsmanship was very exquisite. Just by looking at it, one could tell that it was of great value.
In addition, this small store lived up to its name as a "game hall". Just standing at the store entrance, Lei Ting could see a whole wall full of game cartridges and unopened game consoles! And the other wall was occupied by various game peripherals. On the middle shelf were also placed various products related to video games, including VR glasses.
Besides the first floor, there was also a staircase leading to the second floor deep inside the store. Next to the staircase was a semi-circular counter, and Liu Wang was sitting inside the counter at this moment.
Accompanied by the "ding dong" sound of the electronic doorbell when they walked into the store, under the illumination of the white and golden lights, stepping on the almost spotless white tile floor, Lin Yuexiang and Lei Ting walked up to the counter.
"Yo, Captain. What made you interested in coming to play in my humble store?" Liu Wang put down the game in his hand, stood up and said. But when he saw that Lei Ting was also following behind, he had a bad feeling.
"Don't tell me there's another mission?" he asked tentatively.
"There really is a mission." Lin Yuexiang had a faint smile on his face and said, "So come with us."
"Ah?! There's a mission again? We just went on one a few days ago." Liu Wang complained, but his body still consciously walked out of the counter.
After leaving the "Guangying Game Hall" and waiting for Liu Wang to lock the store door, the three of them returned to the detective agency.
At this time, Xu Zhi and Jiang Yun were no longer in the agency. Only Tang Xiuxiu and Kong Chen were left sitting on the sofa, fiddling with their respective devices.
Just as Lei Ting was wondering why they had come back, Liu Wang took the lead in answering, "Don't ask. You'll know soon. I hope you won't be scared."
"Not be scared?" Lei Ting didn't understand, but he obediently listened to Liu Wang and didn't ask any more questions. He followed the two of them up to the second floor of the agency.
The second floor was much larger than the first floor. Besides the four sofas and the stone slab tea table, which were almost a one-to-one copy of those on the first floor, there were three more rooms.
Pushing the door open and walking into the innermost room, Lei Ting found that it was a study, and it was very messy. There were all kinds of books scattered all over the floor. Among the furniture, except for a single sofa, there were only bookshelves left.
"I forgot to tidy up. Please forgive me." Lin Yuexiang looked at the mess on the floor and felt a bit embarrassed.
"How many books has the Captain read..." Lei Ting looked at the books all over the floor and secretly clicked his tongue. Among them, he saw many books with titles in English or even in languages he didn't recognize at all. Even for the Chinese books, just by looking at the titles that at least contained an academic term, one could imagine how abstruse and difficult the contents would be.
Stepping carefully over the "land of knowledge", Lin Yuexiang stood in front of the only empty wall in the room where there were no bookshelves.
He pressed his right hand to the side, and a crack actually appeared in the middle of the empty tiles in front. At the same time, the tiles retreated backward and quickly retracted inward. An elevator suddenly appeared in Lei Ting's sight out of thin air.
"F...uck..." Lei Ting was so shocked by this scene that he was at a loss for words. He even had the thought of whether he had traveled through time.
There really is such a thing as a perfectly hidden elevator in the world?! Isn't this kind of thing only found in the virtual world?! With such thoughts in his heart, Lei Ting stepped into the elevator.
The inside of the elevator was no different from other ordinary elevators, except that there were many fewer floor buttons compared to an ordinary elevator. There were only four selectable buttons from the first basement floor to the fourth basement floor.
Lin Yuexiang chose to press the button for the first basement floor. Without any buffer time, the elevator door closed directly and started to descend.
A few seconds later, the elevator stopped steadily and the door opened. Lei Ting found that they had come to a closed and brightly lit small garage.
In the center of the garage, there was a large off-road vehicle painted in dark green camouflage, two meters high, which Lei Ting didn't recognize. Along the wall, there was a series of tools that he didn't know, but which were probably for vehicle repair. The front of the vehicle was facing a rolling shutter door.
"Get in the car." Lin Yuexiang took the lead in jumping into the driver's seat of the off-road vehicle and beckoned.
"Okay!" Liu Wang followed closely behind. He skillfully opened the rear door and jumped in with a big leap. Only Lei Ting slowly stepped on the step board to get into the car.
As soon as Lei Ting got in the car, Lin Yuexiang pressed a button next to the steering wheel. The rolling shutter door in front of the vehicle immediately retracted automatically, opening up the way ahead.
The off-road vehicle drove out, and Lei Ting was surprised to find that outside this small garage was actually the underground parking lot of "Binjiangyuan", as evidenced by the luxury cars parked there.
After leaving the underground parking lot and driving onto the main road, Lin Yuexiang immediately activated the racing mode. He instantly increased the speed of the car to the speed limit of this road and sped away like the wind. Along the way, he overtook countless cars, ran four yellow lights, and even did two drifts. Lei Ting almost vomited out his lunch. Only after seven minutes did they successfully reach their destination.
As soon as they arrived at the place, Lei Ting got out of the car unsteadily. Holding his head with one hand and leaning against the car with the other, he started to retch.
In contrast to Lei Ting, Liu Wang didn't feel anything at all after this ride. Not only was he not uncomfortable, but judging from his expression, he even seemed a bit reluctant for it to end.
When Lei Ting had recovered a little, he raised his head and found that they had actually come to the local Public Security Bureau of Shanghai City.
The majestic building stood right in front of them. The national flag was fluttering in front of the door, and the public security emblem hanging on the tall building added a touch of inviolable majesty to the building.
Walking into the hall, many policemen wearing light blue shirts were bustling back and forth through the hall, heading to various parts of the building.
At this time, a young-looking policeman wearing a dark blue police uniform coat, with a pattern on his epaulettes consisting of a silver horizontal bar and two silver four-pointed stars, came up. He first saluted Lin Yuexiang and then said, "Captain Lin, you're here. Let's go. Captain Cheng and the others have already arrived." After saying that, he started to lead the way.
After walking a certain distance, taking the elevator to the third floor, and walking for a while longer, the four of them entered a room with a long table, which looked like a conference room.
In the room, there were also three other policemen wearing the same dark blue police uniform coats sitting on the opposite side of the door. However, the patterns on their epaulettes were different from those of the policeman who was leading the way.
Among them, the two policemen who looked about the same age as Captain Lin Yuexiang had patterns on their epaulettes consisting of a silver horizontal bar and three silver four-pointed stars. The other policeman, who looked a bit younger but was at least almost thirty years old, had two silver horizontal bars and three silver four-pointed stars on his epaulettes.
Lei Ting wasn't very clear about the police ranks, but he knew that the policeman with two silver horizontal bars and three silver four-pointed stars on his epaulettes must have the highest rank. It wasn't only because he had more patterns, but also because he was sitting in the middle of the other two policemen, in the central position!
"Captain Lin, let's start directly." The policeman sitting in the central position said.
"Okay." Lin Yuexiang nodded and took his seat.
