Chapter 196 Identity
The central pavilion is very large, with a large table in the middle and four chairs. The large table is not a traditional round table, but a Western-style square long table. On the table are candlesticks, fruits, flowers, and red wine, and a white tablecloth is also spread.

A maid put the pastries on the table. Seeing Duanmu and Cui Jian appear in sight, Bai Qi said something, and the maid pushed the food cart away.

Duanmu sat down and looked around: "Who wants to kill Xue Bing?"

Bai Qi slowly made tea: "Who said someone wants to kill Xue Bing?"

Duanmu: "Because I'm not interested in talking to you about other topics right now."

Bai Qi: "Duanmu, you have to understand your own status. Your boss is qualified to sit with me and drink tea and chat. I am giving you face now, so don't be sarcastic."

Duanmu laughed: "Just you? You've been in office for two or three months, right? How come you don't have any results?"

Bai Qi: "That's why I condescended to invite you for tea. Cui Jian, this snack is good."

Cui Jian: “Thank you.”

Duanmu picked up the tea and said, "Then tell me."

Bai Qi said: "The Seven Killers have become active again after being silent for nearly half a year. After the deaths of targets 42 and 43, targets were also killed in the Philippines recently. During the Shifeng incident, the Seven Killers were active in Hancheng. Duanmu, can you analyze it?" The analysis was not done using Duanmu's brain, but Duanmu's intelligence.

Duanmu drank a cup of tea and put the empty cup on the table. Bai Qi added more tea. Duanmu said, "Each killer in the Seven Killers has his own characteristics. There should be three people who invaded Hancheng during the Shifeng incident. The first one is Shuiyao, who is good at infiltration and short blades. The second one is Huoyao, who uses explosives as the main means of attack. The third one is Riyao, who calls himself the king of snipers. The one who took action in the Philippines should be Yueyao. Judging from past achievements and information, Yueyao pursues a one-shot kill, and his methods include not limited to poison, sharp blades, firearms and explosives."

Bai Qi: "Do you think Hancheng's Seventh Killer is Shui Yao?"

Duanmu seemed to be thinking: "Are you worried about Shui Yao's ability to infiltrate and penetrate? Are you worried that he has already entered the villa complex and is preparing to harm Xue Bing?"

Bai Qi: "Xue Bing is not a target. Without sufficient reason, Qi Sha will not attack her. Recently, Li Di has been facilitating a meeting with Prince No. 50. Previously, they tried to meet in Rio de Janeiro, on a high seas cruise ship, and in New York. Before each meeting, they detected traces of Qi Sha, and one of their stand-ins died as a result. So they decided to set the meeting place in Hancheng."

Bai Qi looked at Cui Jian, who was wandering in the outer sky. Bai Qi said, "Cui Jian."

"Ok?"

Bai Qi: "You are now a 2-star bodyguard. If you were responsible for the prince's security, how would you deal with Shui Yao?"

Cui Jian: "Shui Yao?"

Bai Qi was speechless and repeated, "Shui Yao is good at two skills. The first one is infiltration, disguise, and mixed dressing of men and women. The second one is short blade. Because of different talents, instructors and interests, it is impossible to determine which skill Shui Yao is better at. The most dangerous one is of course the first one."

Cui Jian replied: "The prince is forbidden to have contact with outsiders. Shui Yao uses a short blade, so he should not have many opportunities to practice shooting. As long as he keeps a distance of more than five meters from untrusted people, the bodyguards around the prince will have the ability to strike back."

Bai Qi said: "He can also use a gun."

Cui Jian: "I don't know about that. You have to first explain his level of using a gun. Some people can hit the target just by raising the gun. Some people can hit the target with the pistol at the waist without raising the gun to aim. Some people can hit the target only after aiming. In addition, there are also factors such as the speed of drawing the gun, the proficiency of opening and closing the safety, and the speed of loading the gun. Although they are all pistols and hot weapons, the speed of shooting is very obvious."

Cui Jian: "It also involves shelters, regional terrain, light, wind resistance..."

Duanmu asked: "Wind resistance?"

Cui Jian said: "Originally, the north and south were connected, and there was constant wind blowing, but suddenly the wind became turbulent. Obviously, something changed the trajectory of the wind."

Bai Qi asked in surprise: "Can you feel this?"

Cui Jian was also a little surprised: "Bai Qi, you are a professional, can't you feel it?"

Bai Qi smiled bitterly and asked, "Is it obvious?"

Cui Jian thought for a while and said, "It's quite obvious. If you listen to the sound of the wind blowing the leaves of the bushes, there is a certain rhythm. Even when the wind is weak, the rhythm tends to slow down. But if someone moves outside the bushes, it will destroy the harmony. It's like driving a car and braking when you see a red light. Slowly slowing down will not make a big difference. Braking suddenly is completely different."

Bai Qi nodded. This was talent. Talent plus hard work plus practice made this 2-star bodyguard.

Bai Qi noticed that the topic had changed, so he brought it back: "Before the Plum Blossom Island tragedy, Qi Sha's broken arm layout retained the main force, but lost a lot of backup personnel. Duanmu, let's cooperate once and destroy Shui Yao."

Duanmu: "Using a prince to fish? Isn't this bait too precious?"

Bai Qi said: "The prince's life or death has nothing to do with me."

Duanmu: "But it may be related to me. As a Nemo special agent, I may be commissioned to escort them."

Bai Qi said: "I don't think Li Di would trust the special forces. He would rather trust Qin Hai, Chu He and other people like him. With the weapons stored in the cemetery, plus the Bai Gang members they selected and the prisoners they hired, they are already a very scary small army."

Duanmu: "Can a team with only light weapons be called an army?"

Bai Qi: "Don't argue, that's it. I'll give you my opinion and bargaining chips, and you can go back and discuss with your boss to see if we can cooperate. If Shui Yao can be successfully captured, I agree to arrange Baili Xiong into the execution team and arrange him as the action data clerk of the execution team. Of course, he can remember the information in his mind, but he can't neglect his job and can't have any crooked thoughts. Otherwise, don't blame me for getting rid of him under the pretext of cleaning up the house."

Duanmu pondered: "Shui Yao? Shui Yao... If my boss agrees and you can provide specific intelligence and information about the meeting between Li Di and the prince, I am certain that I can capture Shui Yao, or even capture him alive."

Bai Qi rolled his eyes: "Is there something I don't know?"

Duanmu: “No.”

Bai Qi: "I think you have the key information about Shui Yao."

Duanmu smiled and said, "Don't mind your own business."

Bai Qi also smiled: "Okay, I will give you an answer in the near future, and I will wait for your boss's call." After saying that, Bai Qi glanced at Cui Jian.

Cui Jian looked at Bai Qi in confusion, and Bai Qi suddenly looked embarrassed. Duanmu said, "His eyes meant that you should get out of the way first. He has something to say to me that you can't hear."

"Oh." Cui Jian drank the tea, smiled and left.

Bai Qi, who had not blushed since he was 15, now blushed and looked at Duanmu angrily, as if he wanted to glare a hole in Duanmu.

Duanmu Youyou picked up the tea and drank it: "Forget about it, I won't let you gain favor in front of him."

Bai Qi: "You admire him very much."

Duanmu: "He saved me, and if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to be his enemy. If you only see his fighting qualities, you're totally wrong."

Bai Qi: “Oh?”

Duanmu: "Although I have no evidence, I think he is actually very smart, but he is just too lazy to use his brain, or he is not interested in using his brain when facing certain things. What's wrong? Is it related to him?"

Bai Qi said: "Target No. 29 and his auxiliary target, that is, No. 29, as well as No. 29's wife and children were killed in the Philippines. He happened to be traveling in the Philippines. Given his skills and attitude towards killing, he is worthy of suspicion."

Duanmu: "I know. I recommended him to go to the Philippines."

Bai Qi: "Oh? Tell me in detail."

Duanmu said: "He originally wanted to go to Jeju Island, but local Koreans know that it is better to go to Southeast Asia than Jeju Island. Then he searched for Bali. I asked him if he wanted to deal with the sea. He said yes, so I recommended him to go to Boracay in the Philippines."

Bai Qi said: "Then he went to Germany."

Duanmu: "Did any of the targets die?" Bai Qi: "I didn't receive any such news. I didn't send anyone to investigate further." The German auxiliary target was a powerless person. In order to escape being hunted down, he could only hide his identity and blend into the homeless group. Six months ago, his sister called the police and listed him as a missing person.

Duanmu happened to know about this and said, "He went to Germany because of Xuesong's influence. Not long after I met him, I investigated him because of his attitude towards killing people. All along, I was more or less suspicious of his identity and once suspected that he was the Seven Killers until the Shifeng incident."

Bai Qi: "Tell me more about it."

Duanmu: "First, he controlled Ye Rannuo and Shi Feng at the time, and Qi Sha also wanted Shi Feng's information. He could have passed the information to Qi Sha, but he didn't. Second, you said before that Shui Yao, Huo Yao and Ri Yao entered Hancheng because of the Shi Feng incident and launched a wave of attacks. The time of the attack was when Cui Jian was detained, and there were only a few hours before Cui Jian was released. This does not comply with the basic action rules of Qi Sha. According to the basic action rules of Qi Sha, the local Qi Sha needs to take responsibility. Third, I talked to him about Nemo and Target intentionally or unintentionally, but he was completely uninterested. If he is Qi Sha, he is the most unprofessional Qi Sha in history."

Duanmu: "I found him immediately after the Plum Island Massacre, because I still had some doubts about him at the time, but in fact he was fishing that night. If he was Qi Sha, it would be impossible for him not to be involved in the Plum Island Massacre."

Duanmu: "Let's take a step back. Even if he is Qi Sha, what are you going to do? Take his body with you? If you kill him without any evidence, not only will you fail to convince Nemo, but you will also probably anger Old Li."

Bai Qi nodded: "Indeed, he is not the kind of person who would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go."

Duanmu glanced around, leaned in and whispered, "You may not know, he is a person with a very strong background."

Bai Qi was surprised: "I didn't realize that, CIA?"

Duanmu shook his head: "No, you just need to know that he has a strong backer."

Bai Qi: "How hard?"

Duanmu thought for a while and said, "If I can get tough, I can confront the three big chaebols of Li Yelin head-on without losing the upper hand."

Bai Qi was shocked for a while, and asked in disbelief, "No way?"

Duanmu said: "I advise you not to target him, unless you are really sure that he is Qi Sha, it is best not to touch him or investigate him illegally." Legal investigation refers to personal information that is obvious, such as customs entry and exit records, real estate information and the like.

Bai Qi: "Wait, you said hardened? You mean it's soft now."

Duanmu: "Can you change the wording? It feels like we two men are driving."

Bai Qi smiled: "I still don't understand what you mean."

Duanmu said, "For example, Xueying, who lived with Cui Jian, was seen as a repeater who was rich and pretty. Not many people knew that she was the daughter of the Yun family. How did Chu He die? He cut off one of Xueying's fingers and died on the same day. During the investigation, no police officer took a statement from Xueying, and the detective in charge simply ignored this important clue. As Chu He's eldest brother, Li Di never mentioned the name Xueying."

Duanmu said: "Cui Jian's situation is similar. Everyone thinks he is just a 2-star bodyguard."

Bai Qi asked: "What's the background?"

Duanmu said: "I won't tell you. I want to ask, why did you notice Cui Jian?"

Bai Qi said: "Haha."

Duanmu: "Background adjustment?"

Bai Qi did not deny it: "Yeah."

Duanmu: "You want to recruit him."

Bai Qi: "As far as his performance is concerned, who wouldn't want him? He can always save his employer in times of difficulty and danger and kill the criminals. Careful analysis of each conflict reveals that even in intense and chaotic scenes, his mind can remain extremely clear, even calmer than usual."

Cui Jian shouted: "Drone."

Bai Qi and Duanmu immediately ran to Cui Jian's side, only to see a drone descending to a height of only 50 meters above the ground. At such a close distance, the anesthetic dart launcher hanging below the drone could be seen with the naked eye. This was a pneumatic launcher with a low initial velocity. The drone seemed to have already targeted Cui Jian, not only aiming the launcher at Cui Jian, but also lowering its altitude.

Bai Qi took the intercom and said, "D1 needs an electromagnetic gun." D refers to the central booth. A good electromagnetic gun is expensive and hard to buy. The armed police in a large city in the Kingdom of God are only equipped with one electromagnetic gun for anti-illegal flying. And this thing is bulky and it is impossible to carry it with you.

Duanmu: "It dropped to 30 meters."

Bai Qi stood two meters away from Cui Jian: "The other party is testing our anti-drone capabilities with a provocative attitude. I bet there are no tranquilizer darts in the launcher. This drone is used as a sacrifice."

Duanmu: "I agree."

Cui Jian drew his gun: "That's because I'm not aiming at you. It's easy to say." It was not difficult for Cui Jian to shoot down the drone at a distance of 30 meters.

Bai Qi hurriedly said, "Don't shoot. If you shoot, the neighbors might call the police because of the gunshots, and the police will have the right to enter the villa complex to investigate, and everything will be out of control."

Cui Jian: "Isn't the neighbor very far away?"

Bai Qi said: "If the criminal sees you shoot down the drone, he can call the police and say he heard the gunshot. You have gun smoke reaction, and you can't lie to make it easier for others to work."

Cui Jian exclaimed: "The criminals are very insidious." You are already a criminal, but you are still doing all kinds of things. Do you think you are a politician?

Duanmu said, "Everything the heart sees is dirty."

Bai Qi knew that as long as Duanmu was with Cui Jian, he would have no chance to recruit Cui Jian. He thought that Duanmu had taken a fancy to Cui Jian first, so forget it.

Cui Jian asked: "Are you going to fight or not? It's 25 meters, and you don't take us seriously at all."

Bai Qi: "Don't fight." This opponent is very bad. If you shoot, he will call the police, and the police will rush into the villa complex to investigate and disperse the security arrangements. If you don't shoot, he will fire tranquilizer darts and knock down the bodyguards one by one.

What's even more infuriating is that the drone started to twist. Cui Jian realized for the first time that a drone could be associated with the word "cheap". If it were me, I would have installed a dung ball and beat you up.

The bodyguard ran over to deliver the electromagnetic gun, and the drone immediately took off and fled. Susan's voice came from the intercom: "B3 spotted the drone."

Susan: "Drone fired tranquilizer darts, missed B3."

Duanmu said to Bai Qi: "We can't play like this."

Bai Qi: "Do you have any opinion?"

Duanmu said: "The first solution is to adjust the positions and arrange people indoors. The second solution is to rent golf carts to provide protection for bodyguards. The third solution is to ask the police to intervene."

Bai Qi looked at Cui Jian on the side and said, "Cui Jian, do you have any good suggestions?"

Cui Jian said: "I won't do anything illegal."

Bai Qi: "I won't let you do that."

Cui Jian: "I said illegal advice, that is abetment."

Bai Qi: "I'll pay more."

Cui Jian: "No, the law is a red line. I can't commit a crime for money." Cui Jian's idea is simple and crude. Locate the take-off position of the drone. If it is in the wilderness, just surround the opponent and beat them up. It's a one-for-one exchange. You shoot one of my bodyguards and I cripple one of your pilots. If it is in a villa, then I will cover my face and sneak into the villa and beat them up.

There is nothing that cannot be solved by force, but this is against the law. Don't do evil even if it is small. As a bodyguard who often goes to the police station, Cui Jian always has awe of the law during his work.
