Chapter 2: Temptations Without New Ideas
Zhou Ran locked himself in the room for two full days before walking out of the building with heavy steps.
The warm sunlight outside gave him a creepy feeling.
Zhou Ran took out a business card from his arms, followed the address on the business card to find a shop, ordered a bowl of beef noodles, and sat by the door.
He didn't know what the beef noodles tasted like, but he watched the situation on the street outside.
When the beef noodles were almost finished, a man in a gray suit walking on the phone caught his attention.
"Boss, check out!"
Zhou Ran directly put a piece of fifty yuan on the table, got up and left.
"Hey, looking for money......"
The boss chased him out and tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Zhou Ran did not cross the road, but on this side of the road, following the man's footsteps and walking in parallel.
When he walked around the corner, the man suddenly entered a building.
Zhou Ran didn't follow immediately, but turned his head and walked into the supermarket behind him.
With a bottle of mineral water in hand, Zhou Ran asked curiously while checking out.
"Beauty, do you know what the building across the street is for?"
The clerk looked up and forgot to glance at the other side and smiled.
"I don't know, but I often see people downstairs handing out flyers, I guess it's an advertising company!"
Zhou Ran didn't continue to ask, but left after settling the account.
He looked at the building opposite, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he immediately covered his face, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Ran crossed the street and walked into the building.
The first floor of the building is empty, and if you come at night, it is estimated that it will be regarded as an abandoned building.
There are only three company signboards on the wall, two of which are on the same floor.
Zhou Ran did not hesitate to write down the floor and name of the separate company, and walked towards the elevator.
"Yes, I found you here!"
Yao Jiali looked at Zhou Ran standing in the conference room with appreciation.
"It's disappointing if you found me just to let me play this boring little trick with you!"
Zhou Ran glanced at the man who called just now mockingly, and was unhappy with Yao Jiali's old-fashioned temptation.
The few people who followed Yao Jiali glanced at each other, and the arrogant aura on Zhou Ran's body made them feel dissatisfied.
Yao Jiali looked at Zhou Ran curiously.
"How are you sure this is the place you're looking for?"
Zhou Ran took out the business card.
"Among the information you left, only this business card is the most obvious, and being able to get this business card means that you have walked into this store. For an efficient job like yours, you shouldn't have time to enjoy lunch slowly, so the place you want me to find is not too far from this store!"
Yao Jiali raised her eyebrows to indicate that it was correct, and Zhou Ran continued.
"And then, I found him!"
Zhou Ran pointed to the man who had just called.
"Holding up the phone, but not speaking, I think the people on the phone should have been rushed a long time ago!"
When the man heard this, he immediately turned his face away in embarrassment.
"Also, he walked into the building too chic, and the person who called usually would at least take a look at it, in case he went to the wrong place, indicating that his focus was not on the phone at all!"
Yao Jiali turned her head and glanced helplessly at the employee who was not very proficient in disguise, and the man was eager to find a hole to drill into.
"Then how did you confirm that the company is on this floor?"
Zhou Ran smiled.
"There are only three company signboards in the lobby downstairs, and you are such a hidden department, you will definitely avoid working on the same floor as other companies. ”
Yao Jiali was a little puzzled.
"Isn't being with other companies a better way to disguise our work?"
Zhou Ran lowered his head, thought about it, and a layer of gloom floated up his cheeks.
"If one of the companies has a problem, it is very likely that the company next to it will also suffer, so you will not take this risk!"
Yao Jiali knew that Zhou Ran remembered that she was still in the police investigation team, and immediately changed the topic.
"Have you read all the information?"
Zhou Ran's expression became serious.
"Is that information real?"
Yao Jiali frowned and nodded.
"You won't be unable to read your father's handwriting, will you!"
Zhou Ran's tone became eager.
"I'm asking you, is my father's death real?"
Yao Jiali sighed deeply, although she didn't answer, her pale face already revealed the answer.
"That organization is called 'Eight Eyes', and basically, based on our existing information, there has been no breakthrough, and the agents sent out by the Intelligence Bureau have hardly returned. ”
Zhou Ran lowered his eyebrows, and the reason for it was already clear to him.
"The other party is not only a mature organization, but also has a huge power, and it is not even ruled out that there are some powers that belong to us but are above us, so the Intelligence Bureau will recruit people outside the police force!"
He clenched his fists and continued to ask.
"If that's the case, I can't go deep into it alone!"
Yao Jiali's eyes widened and she looked at Zhou Ran incredulously.
"Who said you're the only one? You still have companions, but ...... You've got to find them first!"
Zhou Ran didn't understand what Yao Jiali said, what does it mean to find them first?
"Aren't they here?"
Yao Jiali shrugged her shoulders and took Zhou Ran through the entire company and into an office, where the people in the office were all carrying out different levels of intelligence work.
"He, your first partner!"
Zhou Ran looked at the man on the screen with headphones in his ears and * in his hand, and was curious.
"Where can I find him?"
Yao Jiali sneered and shook her head.
"You can't find him unless he takes the initiative to come to you!"
Zhou Ran felt that Yao Jiali was playing with him at all, and looked at her a little angrily.
"He's an A-class wanted criminal with thirty lives on him, all of which are homicides. Those killed were either killed because of some commercial dispute or some witnesses who had important evidence of the crime. He's only fired 30 rounds of ammunition with this gun!"
Zhou Ran was a little surprised, he looked back at the man again, that is to say, the person he wanted to kill had never missed, and there was no false occurrence.
"Since I can't find him, what should I do?"
Yao Jiali replied as a matter of course.
"Let him come to you on his own initiative......! The people he found are no longer in this world!"
Zhou Ran felt that Yao Jiali was simply pushing him to the brink of death, and he was holding his breath in his heart.
"Am I alone?"
Yao Jiali nodded.
"Yes, you're alone! But I've got the basic tools you need for your job. ”
As she spoke, Yao Jiali took out a pistol with * from behind her and handed it to Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran did not take the gun, but looked at Yao Jiali deeply.
"I'm a police officer, I don't kill people!"
Yao Jiali felt ridiculous about Zhou Ran's innocence, and she handed the gun to Zhou Ran's hand.
"You don't want to report your father's killer before you find out!"
