Chapter 584: No Matter the Price
Qu Yangming was extremely shocked when he got the news, he really couldn't think of a reason for Cao Mingmin to leave, so far, the fifteen students who have lost contact have not received any news, but one thing can be basically determined, their loss of contact has nothing to do with the kidnapping.
"This is not a criminal case at all!" Lu Jianqiang and Zhang Chi returned to Cao Mingmin's car and decided to check again to see if any other details had been omitted.
Zhang Chi stood aside, secretly wondering in his heart, could Cao Mingmin's sudden departure have something to do with Cao Chengguang? She has always had a deep affection for Cao Chengguang, but Cao Chengguang is in the sinkhole, what is she doing in Qingping Mountain? Could it be that she is suspicious?
Lu Jianqiang didn't know much about Cao Mingmin, and he couldn't figure out why an adult would suddenly throw the car here, put on makeup and leave, Cao Mingmin had no criminal record, and he couldn't figure out the purpose of her spending so much trouble to cover up her whereabouts.
The investigation of the other fifteen students who lost contact also has eyebrows, this loss of contact is more like a collective runaway, Zhen Xiubo took a taxi directly to the airport after leaving home, according to the flight records show that she went to Huacheng, Zhan Minglu left on an electric car, the specific destination is ominous, but there is a record of her card in Huairou.
Sixteen people, including Cao Mingmin, all left on their own initiative, and Qu Yangming was really a little stunned in the face of the investigation results, he couldn't figure out what was going on? Why did these teachers and students leave en masse, according to the feedback from their respective families, the students did not behave abnormally before leaving.
But the most important thing now is to find these missing teachers and students, not to find out why they disappeared.
Qu Yangming finally understood why in just one year, the college has changed four deans, this matter is not handled well, maybe his position will also be lost, how is it possible, sixteen living people, all missing, and all of them left on their own initiative, where did they go? Why do you want to leave without saying goodbye, abandon your work, abandon your studies, and abandon your family? There must be a reason behind this.
Lu Jianqiang has been busy all day for this matter, and it is already a starry sky when he comes out of the police station, Zhang Chi has always followed him today, Lu Jianqiang said: "You don't have to worry, it has been reported to the police everywhere, and they will contact us as soon as they find their whereabouts." ”
"Second brother has worked hard. ”
Lu Jianqiang smiled: "Do you still need to be so polite with me?"
Zhang Chi said: "I invite you to have supper." ”
"No, I have to go home and promise you Mr. Hu......" If you say too much, you will lose, Lu Jianqiang said that he and Hu Yilin have lived together.
Zhang Chile looked at him.
Lu Jianqiang realized that he had left his mouth, and said embarrassedly: "I won't talk to you, you go back by yourself, I have to leave quickly, it's too late today." He pulled the door open.
Zhang Chi started the motorcycle, and Lu Jianqiang said to Zhang Chi: "Be careful!" Because of the collective disappearance of the academy, Lu Jianqiang couldn't help but worry about the safety of the little brother.
"Don't worry!"
A whole day has passed, and the teachers and students have collectively lost contact** and still have no eyebrows, all the clues to the investigation have been interrupted, and these sixteen people seem to have evaporated from the world, and they can no longer find any news about them. A thick haze hung over the academy.
Qu Yangming went to see An Chongguang again, with only one purpose, he wanted to use the Hanhai system of the Mystery Bureau to locate and search, these teachers and students had already been compiled into the archives of the Mystery Bureau, and as long as they used the Hanhai system, they could be located.
An Chongguang said: "I have already explained to you that the activation of the Hanhai system must be authorized by the three-person committee. ”
"Then ask for the authorization of the three-person committee, aren't you one of the three-person committee? "The previous directors of the mysterious bureau are all members of the three-person committee, and the current three-person committee is Qin Lao, Mr. Yue and An Chongguang, and only when the three of them are authorized at the same time can the search function of the Hanhai system be activated.
An Chongguang said: "What about Old Qin?"
Qu Yangming pursed his lips: "I'll go and say, where is Old Qin?"
An Chongguang shook his head and said, "Old Qin's whereabouts are not within my jurisdiction, maybe you should ask Mr. Yue." ”
Qu Yangming said: "I remember that the director of the Mystery Bureau has the right to activate the Hanhai system in an emergency. ”
An Chongguang said: "If I make an exception to use this power for the sake of sixteen missing teachers and students, I will bear all the consequences caused by it. ”
"Sixteen lives, isn't that enough for you to take risks?"
"Dean Qu, according to the current situation, these sixteen teachers and students all left on their own, they were not coerced, and there is no evidence that their personal safety was threatened, these students are all internal disciples of the Mystery Bureau, and I am under no less pressure than you. ”
Qu Yangming said: "For every minute of delay, they face a greater risk. ”
An Chongguang sighed and said: "Even if I activate the emergency system, without Qin Lao's authorization, I will not be able to play the full function of the Hanhai system, the Hanhai system is a double-edged sword, in the case that we do not have sufficient ability to control it, instead of helping, it will cause unpredictable negative impacts." ”
Qu Yangming sat down in a daze, this situation has put the academy in a difficult situation, the second-year students are all in danger, he has made the decision to delay the start of the school, and it is not yet known when this situation will end.
An Chongguang said: "Did Dean Qu find out why they took the initiative to leave?"
Qu Yangming raised his head and glanced at An Chongguang, he insisted that this exodus was a conspiracy, and that these missing students should have been coerced by some kind of force, rather than taking the initiative to flee as An Chongguang said.
An Chongguang said: "There is one thing I would like to remind Dean Qu that among the sixteen people who left, there was only one teacher, Cao Mingmin, as the head of the college, she knew the situation of each student. ”
"Are you suspicious of Cao Mingmin?"
An Chongguang said: "According to the information of these teachers and students, I found that ten of them have the experience of studying in Hell Valley, do you remember Cao Chengguang? You should know the relationship between Cao Chengguang and Cao Mingmin, Cao Chengguang is currently trapped in the sinkhole, after being in Zhongzhou Market, she has repeatedly proposed that she wants to be transferred to work in the sinkhole, and Dean Qu should receive her report." "The sinkhole belongs to An Chongguang's jurisdiction, and if Cao Mingmin wants to go to the sinkhole, he must first transfer the Mystery Bureau from the academy.
Qu Yangming said: "I refused, I also believe in Cao Mingmin's teacher morality, it is impossible for her to use students to achieve her own goals." ”
An Chongguang said: "Women often do whatever it takes to get emotional, and we can't rule out any possibilities before things come to light." ”
Qu Yangming's phone rang, he glanced at the screen and it was an unfamiliar number, Qu Yangming answered the phone: "Hey!"
After a long while, the other party spoke: "Dean Qu?"
Qu Yangming became excited, because he heard that the voice came from Cao Mingmin, he held the phone and made a hint to An Chongguang, An Chongguang nodded, instantly understood what he meant, knew that it was Cao Mingmin's phone, and immediately began to track and lock according to this phone.
"Teacher Cao, where are you?"
Cao Mingmin's voice was very calm: "Dean Qu, don't worry, the students and I are safe." ”
Qu Yangming's heart instantly tensed, Cao Mingmin's words were equivalent to admitting that she was with the student, so this matter was likely to be a long-planned conspiracy.
An Chongguang motioned to Qu Yangming to delay as much time as possible.
Qu Yangming said: "Teacher Cao, where are you? Now everyone is very nervous, what happened? Can you tell me?"
"I'm sorry Dean Qu, I'm worried about you, these students will be fine for the time being, I only have one request, release Cao Chengguang, then all the students will return safely, I will give you seven days, if Cao Chengguang can't regain his freedom within seven days, then every day that passes, you will receive the news of the accidental death of a student, and also, let Zhang Chi and Bai Xiaomi release Cao Chengguang, I can't trust others." ”
"Cao ......"
The phone hung up.
Qu Yangming's face was pale, the worst finally happened, this collective loss of contact ** is really related to Cao Mingmin, and it was planned by Cao Mingmin. Cao Mingmin's identity as the head of the department has a lot of credibility for students, so fifteen students will be easily deceived and enter her trap, just exchanging the lives of fifteen students for Cao Chengguang's freedom, such a method is too insidious.
An Chongguang looked at Qu Yangming meaningfully, his suspicions were finally verified, facts speak louder than words, and now Qu Yangming has nothing to say.
"This call is from Dongying. An Chongguang tracked down Cao Mingmin's call location based on the phone.
Qu Yangming was stunned and said: "Impossible, there is no record of her exit at all." ”
"Cao Mingmin is a highly trained master. Ahn was also unsure of the location.
Qu Yangming said: "Let Cao Chengguang go." ”
An Chongguang looked at Qu Yangming, and from his tone, he couldn't tell whether he was asking or ordering.
"The safety of those fifteen students has to be guaranteed. ”
"How can you be sure that Cao Mingmin's words are true? How can you prove that the fifteen students are in her hands, how can you prove that they are all safe?"
Qu Yangming sighed and said, "I can't afford to gamble, and I can't afford to lose!"
Although Zhang Chi also suspected that the collective loss of contact ** was related to Cao Mingmin, he only thought that there was such a possibility in theory, judging from the situation of his contact with Cao Mingmin, Cao Mingmin was very good in terms of character and morality, and it was impossible to use the lives of students to make transactions, but facts speak louder than words, and when he heard Qu Yangming talk about it, Zhang Chi believed that Cao Mingmin really did it, women are really terrible, and they can do anything crazy for the sake of their feelings, but Zhang Daxian feels that it seems to be a little unworthy for Cao Chengguang's dwarf.
Qu Yangming's expression looked very helpless: "Zhang Chi, Cao Mingmin has designated you and Bai Xiaomi to be responsible for releasing Cao Chengguang." ”
"Why us?" There is a feeling of being tied up by Cao Mingmin on a thief ship, is it because I have eaten one of her meals and talked to her a few times?
Qu Yangming said: "I don't know why, but Cao Mingmin called your name and asked you to go to Tiankeng to bring Cao Chengguang back in person, maybe she has relative trust in the two of you." He got up and came to Zhang Chi, patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder and said, "I don't want you to take risks, but this time it is related to the safety of fifteen classmates, so I can only ask you." ”
Zhang Chi could only nod: "When will you leave?"
Qu Yangming said: "This matter is being coordinated with the Mystic Bureau, and there will be a result tomorrow at the latest, Cao Mingmin gave us an ultimatum, and he will attack your classmates in seven days." ”
Zhang Chi sighed secretly, Cao Mingmin was really unexpected this time, a woman's heart was really elusive, Cao Chengguang's life was fate, wasn't the life of these fifteen classmates fate?
Qu Yangming said: "This matter should not be leaked to the outside world, so as not to cause unnecessary panic." ”
Zhang Chi said: "Did Mi Xiaobai agree?"
"I've asked her for advice before I tell you about it. ”
Bai Xiaomi sat alone on the chair next to the playground in a daze, Zhang Chi walked over and sat down beside her.
Bai Mi glanced at him and didn't speak.
Zhang Chi said: "What do you think?"
"What do you think?"
"Director Cao's business. ”
Bai Mi said: "I don't know her, you have more contact with her, what do you think?"
"You can't see death without help. ”
Bai Xiaomi stretched her waist: "I can't imagine that Director Cao has such a deep affection for Cao Chengguang, if it were you, trapped in the sinkhole for so many years, do you think Qi Bing would wait for you?"
Zhang Daxian looked at Bai Xiaomi with some vigilance, why didn't this Nizi do something good?
Bai Mi said: "I mean what if." ”
Zhang Chi said: "If there is such a thing, I don't want anyone to wait for me, feelings are not kidnapping, everyone is together for happiness and not for mutual bondage, she waits for me, I will feel guilty, she doesn't wait for me, I wish her happiness." After speaking, Zhang Daxian looked at Bai Xiaomi meaningfully: "You are the same." ”
Bai Mi bit her lip, and then responded in a clear and crisp voice: "Get out!"
Zhang Chi thought that he would set off for Tiankeng soon, but the release of Cao Chengguang did not go as smoothly as expected. In addition to New World Academy, students from other faculties of Mizuki have begun to return to school, and Zhang Chi specially went to the station to pick up Qi Bing.
Qi Bing's style this time was different from the past, he didn't carry a big bag and small luggage, but just carried a backpack and dragged a small boarding suitcase.
Seeing Zhang Chi at the exit of the station, Qi Bing happily pounced, and in front of the public, he hugged Zhang Chi and kissed him twice on his cheeky skin.
Zhang Daxian took the box in her hand: "Are you tired?"
Qi Bing shook his head.
Zhang Chi whispered in her ear: "Do you want us to go back to the hut first for three rounds." ”
Qi Bingqiao blushed: "You just worry about that." ”
Zhang Chi smiled: "If I don't worry about it, you suspect that I am going to the water in private, it is too difficult to be a man." ”
Qi Bing chuckled, grabbed his arm and said, "I want to go back to the dormitory first, Wanqiu and they are all waiting for me, tonight we will have a collective carnival when we meet in the girls' dormitory after a long absence." ”
Zhang Daxian nodded again and again: "Okay!"
"How are you?"
"Let's party together, I don't mind. ”
Qi Bing twisted his arm hard: "You don't mind, I don't mind, if you want to be embarrassed, you're still worried about our dormitory." ”
Zhang Chi said: "You are so dirty, I haven't forgotten anything at all." ”
The two got into the taxi, and as soon as they got in the car, Lao Qu's phone called, Zhang Chi knew that it was time to leave as soon as he looked at the number, and sighed in his heart that Lao Qu would really pick the time. Connected the phone, and sure enough, Qu Yangming asked him to prepare and leave on time at seven o'clock tonight.
Zhang Chi raised his wrist and looked at the time, there were only four hours left before the departure time, and he didn't know how to explain it to Qi Bing.
"Something?" Qi Bing sensed his abnormality.
Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Suddenly there is a mission, maybe I have to leave for a few days." ”
"How many days?"
"About a week. ”
Qi Bing was reluctant, holding his hand, they had been separated for more than half a month, and they had just met, and they didn't expect to be separated again.
Zhang Chi held Qi Bing's slender hand in his hand, his thumb gently rubbed the back of her hand, Qi Bing leaned on Zhang Chi's shoulder, and whispered, "I don't want you to go." ”
Zhang Chi smiled: "It's not like it's gone, a week will pass quickly." ”
Qi Bing whispered something in his ear.
Zhang Daxian's mouth opened and he didn't close for a long time.
