Chapter 1121 The Criminal's Network
According to a detailed investigation by the prison staff, Li Ergou's social relations are not complicated.
Since he spent most of his adult life in detention centers or prisons, most of the people he had close relationships with were people he met in prison.
This is a typical example of birds of a feather flock together.
Due to the coming of the end of the world, there are only three people who have a close relationship with Li Ergou still alive, namely Zhao Meng, Sun Qiang and Qian Cheng.
Zhao Meng was once imprisoned for violent fighting. He is tall and strong, but he is simple-minded and impulsive.
During the prosperous times, he met Li Ergou in prison.
After being released from prison one time, the two of them colluded with each other and committed many evil deeds by relying on Zhao Meng's brutal force.
Sun Qiang was convicted of stealing valuables multiple times. Although he was agile and nimble, he had evil intentions and was extremely greedy.
He also met Li Ergou in prison during the prosperous period, and after he was released from prison, he colluded with Li Ergou to do evil.
After the end of the world, Zhao Meng and Sun Qiang were displaced and accidentally met Li Ergou in the Jinling base and got together again.
Li Ergou's viciousness, Zhao Meng's blind following and Sun Qiang's greedy assistance led them to commit many heinous crimes together in the Jinling base.
Eventually, all three were captured and imprisoned in the base prison.
However, the last time a natural disaster struck, the prison suffered severe damage.
Both Zhao Meng and Sun Qiang were not spared and were seriously injured.
In view of their numerous crimes and limited prison resources, the prison did not provide treatment to the two.
Now, Zhao Meng is barely surviving in the cell, his life hanging by a thread, and the shadow of death is always looming over him.
Sun Qiang was also lying in a dark and damp corner, dying, waiting for the moment when his life would end.
Their past evil deeds have earned them no mercy in this difficult time, and the only final destination that awaits them is death.
Qian Cheng is the most special one among these three.
He was also caught for petty theft during the heyday.
However, he behaved well in prison and even received a reduced sentence, so he did not stay in prison for too long.
After the end of the world, Qian Cheng was lucky enough to become one of the first survivors to move into the Jinling base.
When he first arrived at the base, he was like a frightened bird, behaving himself and not daring to make any mistakes.
But because he had no skills, he could only make a living by doing odd jobs.
Who would have thought that the arrival of Li Ergou would break his hard-earned peace.
As for Qian Cheng, whether it was due to bad luck or forced by Li Ergou's tyranny, he actually got involved with him.
Perhaps it was Li Ergou's threats and intimidation, or perhaps it was Qian Cheng's own cowardice, that made him become Li Ergou's little follower.
But it is worth mentioning that although Qian Cheng followed Li Ergou, he did not participate in Li Ergou's early heinous crimes.
However, even if he did not directly participate in the crime, he was still shielding Li Ergou.
When Li Ergou was finally arrested, Qian Cheng cried and screamed, claiming at the top of his lungs that he was forced and threatened and that it was not his own fault.
According to the investigation, some witnesses also stated that they had personally witnessed Li Ergou beating and scolding Qian Cheng and bullying him in every way.
In addition, the prison conditions were limited and resources were tight at the time. After comprehensive consideration, the case handlers simply gave Qian Cheng a stern verbal education, imposed a fine, and then released him.
Not long ago, Li Ergou escaped from prison during the chaos caused by a natural disaster.
The investigators naturally focused their search on people who were closely related to Li Ergou, and thus found Qian Cheng.
They launched a detailed and in-depth investigation as if facing a major enemy, leaving no tiny corner untouched.
After a thorough investigation, we came to the following conclusion:
Qian Cheng indeed had no contact with Li Ergou after he escaped.
However, is it really that simple?
These investigations do not mean that they are 100% truth.
Li Luo was skeptical about this. Her keen intuition told her that this Qian Cheng was definitely not a simple person. He was most likely not an ordinary person, but a hidden psychic.
You know, special abilities are often extremely weak in the early stages, so weak that they are almost indistinguishable from ordinary people, which can easily lead to misjudgment.
Moreover, with Li Ergou's surly personality that extremely hates ordinary people, how could he be willing to have any contact with Qian Cheng, an ordinary person?
This is really too strange.
Li Luo frowned and thought over various possibilities in his mind.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that only the assumption that Qian Cheng was a person with special abilities could explain all the unreasonable things.
Perhaps Li Ergou had some interactions with Qian Cheng because he knew about Qian Cheng's potential supernatural powers that had not yet been fully revealed.
Once the general goal is determined, the next actions will be like finding a clear direction in the fog.
.........
In the office with a solemn atmosphere, Li Luo sat upright in front of Yun Jianhua.
Her clear and firm eyes locked onto the other person, revealing her judgment without reservation.
Li Luo spoke at a steady pace and clearly, and each word seemed to carry a heavy weight.
Yun Jianhua sat behind the large desk, listening attentively to Li Luo's analysis.
Sometimes he nodded slightly, sometimes he frowned and fell into deep thought.
When Li Luo finished speaking, Yun Jianhua raised his head, his eyes showing his admiration and recognition for Li Luo. He said in a steady and powerful voice:
"Comrade Xiao Li, your judgment makes sense. I believe in your intuition and analysis."
Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Yun Jianhua's affirmation, but she did not relax because of it.
Then, with a serious look on her face, she explained in detail and carefully some key points to note when dealing with psychics.
Her expression was serious and focused, and she described every detail in great detail, as if she was making the most thorough preparations for a life-and-death battle.
Yun Jianhua sat behind his desk, looking focused and solemn. As Li Luo spoke, his brows furrowed more and more.
Before this, his understanding of psychics was indeed not that thorough.
After all, the number of known psychics in the entire Jinling base can be counted on one hand, and the information available for reference is pitifully small.
Besides, no one would reveal all their cards.
Li Luo's voice was clear and steady in the quiet office:
"Director Yun, the attacks of psychic-type psychics are often invisible. They can directly invade people's minds, create illusions, manipulate emotions, and make people fall into their traps unknowingly. When facing them, you must always keep a clear mind and strong willpower."
