Wei Yao snorted and rushed out of the Deputy Bureau Chief's office. He walked down the stairs and pushed open the door of the Deputy Captain's office. "Yan Xuan!"

Yan Xuan sat behind the computer.

"You used my password to go on the intranet again! This is against the rules, do you know that?! "

Yan Xuan did not move and slowly raised his head. Wei Yao looked at him and anger rose in his heart. "Captain Zhu, you have only been hospitalized for a few days and you are already so happy! A few days ago, you even dragged the entire team out to drink and sing karaoke. Do you really think that I don't know? When I called you, what was the background? Treating every day as the end of the world to love each other! Why do you guys love each other so much?! "

When Yan Xuan opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Wei Yao who was exasperated. "You brat, you probably don't want to be a proper person forever. Look at your clothes! Watch! Shoes! Hair! Are you here for work or for a fashion show? How many times have the inspection team criticized you? Can't you at least remember?! "

Yan Xuan said, "Chief Wei …"

"Log in and get out! Hurry up before anyone notices! "

Wei Yao put his hands on his waist angrily. He wanted to take advantage of the mood to scold him. Suddenly, he heard Yan Xuan ask slowly.

"How did Jiang Ting die?"

Wei Yao was stunned. "What?"

"Jiang Ting, the second detachment of the Gongzhou Anti-drug Corps, died three years ago. How did he die?"

Wei Yao was stunned for a long time before he realized what Yan Xuan was asking. He immediately became a little annoyed and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What? It's been a few years, and you still can't let go of the trivial matter with the Gongzhou City Public Security Department? Yes, Gongzhou City almost took away your credit back then, but in the end, they didn't do it, did they? You still … "

"Jiang Ting really died?"

"Yo, you're not done yet!" Wei Yao asked in return. "Does this have anything to do with the 502 frozen corpse case that you're currently investigating?"

Yan Xuan said, "Yes."

"My ass! You can use my password to browse the intranet whenever you have nothing to do! "

"Yes." Yan Xuan repeated. He raised his hand and pushed the case file on the table toward Wei Yao. "Hu Weisheng, from Gongzhou City, was once imprisoned for purchasing a large number of foreign prescription drugs on behalf of others. He was heavily suspected of using fake Adderall to lure minors into drug addiction. A few years ago in Gongzhou City, he was convicted of attempted rape because he drugged a third-year high school girl. I suspect that there's more to this case than meets the eye. The drug he drugged shouldn't be Flunidazepam, but an addictive hallucinogen similar to Adderall. "

"Jiang Ting was the organizer of this case back then." Yan Xuan stared at Wei Yao. "Three years ago, there was an explosion at the scene of Commander Jiang Ting's anti-drug case. More than ten anti-drug officers died in the line of duty, and Jiang Ting himself was blown up into nothingness. What exactly happened?"

With his steady and powerful voice, Wei Yao's anger was suppressed, and he gradually fell into deep thought. After a long time, he finally walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat across from the desk.

"During that anti-drug operation," Wei Yao sighed. "In the end, all kinds of drugs were recovered, totaling more than eighty kilograms."

Yan Xuan's pupils shrank. That was huge!

Then, Wei Yao's second sentence was like a bucket of ice water poured over his heart. "They later said that it was the money for the lives of the dozen or so anti-drug officers."

"… What do you mean?"

"That case back then, because there were a lot of drugs and the transaction amount was large, the drug dealers used the transaction method of separating people, money, and goods. According to the undercover informant, the police determined two main transaction locations. One was the plastic factory on the outskirts of the city, and the second was the ecological park. After analysis, they determined that the buyer and seller were hiding in the plastic factory, while a large number of drugs and illegal armed forces were hidden in one of the cultivation bases in the ecological park.

"According to the original plan, Jiang Ting should have brought sufficient firepower and a large number of elite special forces to infiltrate the cultivation base, while the other team was to set up an ambush at the plastic factory, ready to carry out the arrest. However, before the operation began, Jiang Ting, as the chief planner, suddenly transferred most of the elites who were supposed to go to the ecological park to the plastic factory. They rushed in when they were obviously unprepared. Just half an hour later, there was an unexpected chain of explosions in the entire factory. "

"The drug dealers and buyers fled before the police arrived, and the bombs were installed in advance." Wei Yao said in a low voice, "Jiang Ting changed his mind at the last minute for no reason. It was equivalent to sending his comrades to hell."

Yan Xuan was surprised. "Why did the drug dealers flee? Was the operation leaked?"

"After the incident, many people suspected this. Some even thought that Jiang Ting brought a large number of criminal police officers to the plastic factory to 'cooperate' with the drug dealers. But this suspicion is difficult to prove, because Jiang Ting himself died. The fire burned very quickly, and in the end, not even an intact body could be found. "

Wei Yao paused here and asked suspiciously, "What, you suspect that he's not dead?"

Yan Xuan slowly leaned back in his seat, his eyes somewhat wandering. A few seconds later, he coughed and cleared his throat. "Oh, that's not it."

Wei Yao seemed to want to say something but held it back. He only looked at him up and down with a probing gaze. "Then why did you ask me if he's really dead?"

"… I was just curious why he wasn't posthumously awarded the title of martyr. I just saw that all the criminal police officers of the second anti-drug team in Gongzhou were posthumously awarded the title of martyr. If it was a mistake in command, although it's serious, he died in the line of duty after all. It's not to the point where he can't even be awarded the title of martyr, right? "

This question was actually randomly asked by Yan Xuan, but Wei Yao's expression suddenly became a little difficult to explain. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's because of that undercover."

Yan Xuan: "Hmm?"

"After the explosion, the Gongzhou Public Security Department set up a special investigation team. After a thorough investigation of all the deployment and details of the operation, they found one thing. Do you still remember what I said just now, that the undercover agent reported two transaction locations?"
