【Special Operations File 798】

【Location: Available worldwide】

[Identity: Evil Spirit·Infected Thing]

[Code name: Mechanical watch]

[Initial evaluation level: unknown]

[Hazard level: C (causing the death of more than ten people, low infection capacity)]

……

"Captain Li, I checked the surveillance last night. Since the accident, no suspicious person has entered this auxiliary road. I also checked the cars and passers-by driving in, and found nothing unusual."

"Then it's very likely that someone killed her. I looked around the area last night and didn't find any trace of Xiang Yu."

On the curb, the two of them were eating multi-grain pancakes and chatting.

"Update 1022's action report, have E-level personnel pay attention to 1022 Red Fragrance's movements, let's check 798's mechanical watch and take a look at the latest action report."

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhang bit the pancake with his mouth and took out his mobile phone to look for the records.

"Operation File 798, the target item is a mechanical watch, the strength of the maker behind it is [Watchmaker] is level three, the updated data was one year and three months ago, and there is no record in the meantime."

“Mechanical watches have a medium-level appeal, which initially makes the wearer obsessed and never take them off.”

"In the middle stage, the patient will always pay attention to his or her appearance in order to maintain elegance, and may have extremely severe violent tendencies."

"The late stage symptoms are awakening, and the patient will try every possible way to trade the watch and get rid of its control, but..."

Xiao Zhang turned the page: "It's too late. Once the watch leaves, they will have suicidal tendencies."

"The number of watches that can be confirmed is nine. Two genuine watches and 24 fake watches have appeared in our country. The number of deaths caused by this cannot be counted. Because of the ability to spread infection, the hazard level is classified as C."

"The way to get the watch is to actively bid. As long as the price is higher than the previous host's transaction price, you can get it without any damage."

"In addition, according to the last administrator who fought the watchmaker, every time someone dies because of the watch, the watchmaker will receive a portion of spiritual power. The power is not strong, but it is difficult to kill."

"If you encounter one, be careful of anything with a clock in it, especially the pocket watch on the watchmaker's chest, which is his main weapon."

"The attack method is close combat. The abilities that can be confirmed include acceleration and time delay. The coverage range is eight meters. It is uncertain whether it has the ability to pause time, and it is uncertain whether it has long-range attack capabilities."

"The recommended killing methods are long-range sniping, poisoning, and poisoned bullets. Do not attack by surprise, as it is easy to be detected."

After reading the report, Xiao Zhang was a little nervous and asked, "Captain Li, what should we do if we really meet a watchmaker?"

Li Ming finished the last bite of pancake, wiped his fingers on his pants, and said calmly: "Follow the rules and regulations of the bureau."

"Turn on the recorder. Once the heart stops, an action report will be uploaded, providing more information for the next administrator to prevent them from making the same mistake again."

"Uh... shouldn't we make some preparations in advance?"

Li Ming smiled and said, "The enemy is in the dark while I am in the light. It is useless to prepare. Don't worry, if we really meet, I still have the strength to delay for a while. When the time comes, remember to turn around and run. Don't hesitate for a second."

"Captain Li, I'm not afraid..."

boom!

Before Xiao Zhang finished speaking, a sound was heard not far away, followed by the sound of a car horn.

The two looked at each other and rushed forward without saying a word. As soon as they got close, they heard someone shouting:

"Jumping off the building! Someone is jumping off the building! Call the police! Call an ambulance!"

Li Ming squeezed into the crowd, moved his nose, and smelled a strange odor from the deceased, indicating an abnormal death.

Xiao Zhang also squeezed in. He saw clues from the clothes on the dead man and the marks on his wrists, and immediately whispered:

"Captain Li, it's a watch. It seems to have been traded."

"check!"

"Yes!"

There are many surveillance cameras on the city's main roads, and with the time of death available, Xiao Zhang was able to conduct the investigation very quickly.

With the technical support of the logistics department, he quickly found out the name of the deceased and his route through Sky Eye.

By further analyzing which section of the road started to go wrong, we can narrow down the scope to the greatest extent.

The two men rode their electric bikes and moved quickly, determined to retrieve the watch before the next person was infected. They would save as many people as possible.

"Captain Li, this is it!"

Xiao Zhang analyzed the surveillance footage and concluded that the man in the suit threw his handbag into the trash can after he left.

So it can be inferred that he completed the transaction here.

Li Ming's eyes and nose moved together and instantly locked onto a store.

Dujie second-hand store.

Whether it's the name or the smell, this store has the greatest possibility.

Looking up, I saw only one young man in the store, who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.

The two men prepared for battle, hid their weapons, and walked towards the store.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

When Gu En saw that there were guests coming, he put down the paper and pen in his hand and came out to greet them.

Li Ming patted Xiao Zhang beside him twice, indicating that he was just an ordinary person, and then asked: "Are you the boss here?"

"No, I'm working part-time here. My boss is out. If you need anything, you can come see him tomorrow afternoon."

"Oh, the same goes for you." Li Ming looked around and asked directly, "Did a middle-aged man in a suit sell a watch to you just now?"

Gu En was stunned, not knowing the origin of the person in front of him.

But to ask so directly, it must be someone who knows that there is a problem with the watch.

After some thought, nine out of ten were false and one was true, and Gu En's childhood memories came to his mind again.

"Yes, a strange man came just now. He not only gave me a watch, but also left 50,000 yuan here. I thought he owed the boss money."

The two looked at each other, and Li Ming continued to ask: "Can you show it to me?"

"It's on that cabinet." Gu En pointed to the cabinet on the left.

Xiao Zhang stepped forward decisively, took out the watch from inside and handed it to Li Ming.

While their attention was on the watch, Gu En pretended to clean the table, put away the magic picture he had drawn, and then went to pour them some water.

Both of them focused their attention on the watch, because this watch was... a little strange.

There are no abnormal fluctuations on it, but the appearance is the same as the picture in the information, and there is also the aura of a man in a suit. It should be this one, there is no mistake.

Is it a fake watch?

That’s not right. The man in the suit outside is really dead.

Li Ming had a serious expression, but he still decided to accept the watch. Even if it was a fake, he had to keep it in the warehouse of the administration. No one knew whether the watchmaker had any backup plan.

"Boss, we want this watch. The price is fifty thousand and one hundred. Please pay the money."

"Uh... eh?"

This sentence sounded very strange. Gu En reacted but could only pretend that he didn't know.

"Are you two...robbing someone?"

Xiao Zhang immediately explained: "It's like this, my boss has some special hobbies, please don't mind it, how about this, I'll give you 150,000 first, and you pay us later?"

The only way to get the watch back without harming ordinary people is through trading.

If they took the watch away by force, the young man might go crazy and keep looking for the watch until he died.

Although there seems to be no problem with the watch at present, it is better to trade it in to prevent any further problems.

Gu En also understood and said, "Oh, I understand."

"I'm glad you understand." Xiao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've seen similar news. You're not robbing, you're just washing something, right? I'm calling the police."

"... "

Chapter 11 Every inch of time is worth an inch of gold

At night, a dinner party was being held in a castle.

At the ball, a gray-haired man with a kind smile on his face flirted with many celebrity ladies.

People here only know that he is a wealthy man from the East who knows a lot of important people. Anyone who can get in touch with him will become famous overnight.

As for his name, everyone calls him Mr. Lin, but in another circle everyone calls him the watchmaker.

The watchmaker was dancing happily, but suddenly his brows frowned and his expression became very ugly.

He immediately let go of the hand of the beautiful woman in front of him, said he was unwell, turned around and left, went back to his room and picked up the mirror.

"Why did the spiritual power disappear? Who did it?!"

The skin on his face twitched and a few wrinkles appeared. Looking at himself in the mirror, who looked a few years older, the watchmaker's expression became a little hideous.

He opened the drawer and saw hundreds of identical mechanical watches inside. He took one out and put it on his hand. Only then did his emotions gradually calm down and his IQ regained its high ground.

"Even if the watch is discovered by the Administration, the spiritual power will not disappear. Could it be that one of my colleagues is plotting against me?"

"Hmph! Don't let me find out who it is!"

Then he turned on the screen in front of him, and a world map appeared, from which he retrieved the last place where the watch had appeared.

"Lianjiao City, Donghua Province."

He took out his cell phone and sent the address to a person named Yinshi in his address book.

"Go investigate and find out who is behind this!"
