Chapter 209: Guan Shanyue's whereabouts
The second update is finally out. I'm sorry for being a little late.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No matter what Gong Xiping said or explained, the staff neither let him in nor helped him find Abel. Gong Xiping repeatedly emphasized the urgency and seriousness of the incident, but the staff still looked like they were not in the air.
Gong Xiping was helpless, and he no longer continued to entangle with the staff. Because he also knows that even if he wears out the skin of his mouth, it will not help, but will delay a lot of time.
He turned back from the gates of St. Glo University and walked along the faΓ§ade of the university campus for a while. As he walked, he carefully observed the structure of the faΓ§ade and the surrounding environment. If you can't get in from the main entrance, it looks like you'll have to use some unconventional means to get in.
He walked around the university walls for half a circle and suddenly found that there was a lot of unusual things about the university. First of all, he found that about every 50 meters or so of the campus wall, there is an all-round monitoring probe. Secondly, the fence is somewhat unreasonably high, about 10 meters high, and it is absolutely impossible to climb it with ordinary ladders. Eventually, he discovered that there were infrared detectors on the fence. These facilities should not be the luxury of an ordinary university, it is more like a secret research institute than a university.
The university was unexpectedly well guarded, which really surprised Gong Xiping. It stands to reason that even if it's an academic seminar at DUA, it doesn't need to be like this, right? Moreover, judging from the obsolescence of the walls, these facilities were not specially added for the purpose of this DUA academic seminar, but have always existed. Why is an ordinary university so heavily guarded?
As the saying goes, though, there are no impermeable walls. No matter how heavily guarded, there is always a place with two dead ends. Gong Xiping is a professional, and it is too simple for him to find such a blind spot. So, he soon found a dead end. It happened to be out of reach of the two surveillance probes, and next to the fence was a towering tree with branches that had just crossed the infrared detectors.
Gong Xiping easily jumped onto the tree, and then climbed all the way along the branches, and easily crossed the infrared detector. Then, he jumped down and quietly jumped into the campus wall.
Although this towering tree is a dead end for Gong Xiping to enter the university wall, if he is just an ordinary B-level or A-level master, it is absolutely impossible to do it. Because the campus wall is more than 10 meters high, the detection range of the infrared detector is about 3 to 4 meters, which adds up to a height of almost 15 meters. 15 meters is almost as high as a 5-story building, and even if an ordinary master can climb that high, he may not be able to jump from that height unscathed like Gong Xiping. What's more, the branches of large trees are taller than infrared detectors.
Although he had only been to the auditorium once, and only to the auditorium, he had a strong sense of direction, and he would never forget the places he had visited. So, he quickly figured out the location of the Great Hall, and then carefully moved in the direction of the Great Hall.
His current location is still some distance away from the auditorium. However, if you walk at a normal pace, it will only take about 10 minutes to walk. However, after Gong Xiping came in, he found that the monitoring inside the campus was stricter than the monitoring on the side of the fence. All the monitoring probes here are carefully calculated before they are installed, whether it is the angle or position, it is seamless, and there are almost no dead ends. Such close monitoring is generally only possible in places where important confidential documents or archives are kept.
However, the monitoring probe is dead, and the person is alive. Although monitoring probes can be seen everywhere and there are almost no dead ends, the machine is the machine, and the machine will only operate according to the program and very regularly. As long as the program is error-free, there are generally no surprises. Moreover, for the monitoring probe, Gong Xiping can see through its operation mode and working principle at a glance, so if you want to avoid these monitoring probes, although it is a bit laborious, there is still no problem.
It's just that, in this way, Gong Xiping's movement speed is obviously much slower. So far, that's the only way to go. The only thing he could do now was to find Dr. Abel as soon as possible and ask him to find out something about Guan Shanyue. Since they were on the phone in the morning, he might have known something.
Gong Xiping kept an eye on the movement of the monitoring probe while moving slowly. St. Gru's University is not a well-known university, and the campus is not particularly large. However, as a formal university, no matter how small the campus is, there should be a building. However, Gong Xiping found that in addition to a few buildings, there were other facilities such as power distribution rooms and motor rooms, and even he saw several large motors in operation. This made him feel more and more that this was a research institute, not a university.
Originally, it was only about 10 minutes away, but it took nearly 30 minutes for Gong Xiping, and he could only see the auditorium. He observed that there were only a handful of surveillance probes in the vicinity of the auditorium. Therefore, he planned to get close and rush straight over in one go.
Just as he was observing the movement of the surveillance probe and was about to seize the opportunity to move his position again, he saw several people coming out of the auditorium. He recognized that there were several staff members walking in front of him, and behind the staff were Noriko Mishima and two other burly foreigners. Looking at their physical features, it seems that they are from country M.
Noriko Mishima's face was solemn and she walked silently. And the two foreigners beside her whispered from time to time. Completely different from the first time she met Noriko Mishima, she lost that cheerful smile on her face and lost her hearty expression. At this moment, her face was gloomy, her brows were tightly locked, and she seemed to have a lot on her mind.
Under the leadership of the staff, the three walked into a building not far from Gongxiping. Gong Xiping didn't care about the appearance of these three people, he just wanted to find Dr. Abel as soon as possible. However, the moment they walked into the building, Gong Xiping heard the two foreigners mention Guan Shanyue's name. Because the distance was a bit far, he didn't pay special attention to the whispering between the two, so he only heard one name, and the others didn't listen carefully, as if he was saying that Guan Shanyue's mouth was relatively tight. Gong Xiping's heart moved, and he quietly followed.
This building does not seem to be used for teaching. It's more like an office building. The building is 15 stories tall and looks like an ordinary building from the outside. However, after walking in, Gong Xiping found that all passages, corners, corridors, elevators and stairs of the entire building were equipped with monitoring probes. Does an ordinary building need to be equipped with so much monitoring equipment? Why is it so heavily guarded?
Noriko Mishima and two other foreigners, led by the staff, walked into the elevator. Gong Xiping, on the other hand, hid in a blind corner that the surveillance probe couldn't photograph, watched them walk into the elevator, watched the elevator go up, and then stopped on the 10th floor. Apparently, they went to the 10th floor.
If Gong Xiping wants to go up to the 10th floor, the elevator must not be taken, because there is a monitoring probe at the elevator entrance, as long as Gong Xiping walks into the elevator, it will definitely be photographed. So Gong Xiping can only go up from the stairs. However, fortunately, the surveillance probes in the building do not seem to be as tight as the outside, and there may be a lot of blind spots due to the angle and position. Gong Xiping took advantage of these dead ends and quickly went up to the 10th floor.
Kosai went up to the 10th floor, and Noriko Mishima and the two foreigners had long since disappeared. However, it is not difficult for Gong Xiping to find them. The floor of this building is not very large, and there are not many rooms. Gong Xiping found a location that the surveillance probe couldn't shoot, then opened his senses, probed every room, and then found them in room 1012.
This is supposed to be an office, with a room of more than 20 square meters. A large, luxurious desk facing the door. In front of the plush desk, there are two leather three-seater sofas facing each other, and a rosewood coffee table. On one side of the room, against the wall, there is a row of bookcases filled with all kinds of books.
Behind the luxurious desk, sits a slightly obese middle-aged foreign man. His face was full of flesh, thick bags under his eyes, and his tan hair was a little shabby. He had a double chin and a flat, collapsed nose, as if he had been beaten flat. The lips were big and thick, like two sausages hanging on their mouths.
A staff member whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear, and the middle-aged man smiled slightly, nodded, and said in standard English: "Well, good job, I know, you guys go out." β
The staff member immediately said respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Rogge." With that, he turned around and left room 1012 with the rest of the staff.
A middle-aged man named Rogge unhurriedly picked up a cigar from the table, then put it in his mouth, and lit the cigar with a match for cigars. He took a puff and placed the cigar on the ashtray beside him.
"Smith, Robert, how's the two of you going on here?" Rogge said as he looked at the two foreigners beside Noriko Mishima.
Smith, who was standing on the left, said: "Mr. Rogge, you also participated in yesterday's academic seminar, you should be able to see that Guan Shanyue deliberately did not talk about the key points in the seminar, do you think he is suspicious of us?" β
Robert continued: "I tried to talk to him yesterday, but he was very cautious and did not say anything about sensitive topics. β
Smith and Robert, like Rogge, speak pure English. However, it's not standard London English, it's pure M-country English. Based on this pronunciation alone, it can be concluded that the three of them are natives of the M country.
Rog's eyes narrowed in a line, and then turned his gaze to Noriko Mishima. He smiled and said, "Dr. Mishima, the rest can only be left to you." β
When Noriko Mishima heard this, her face changed several times. She looked up at Rogge, and after a long silence, she said in English with a Fuso accent: "Rogge, why do you have to let me go?" I don't want to do that. I don't want Kwan to know about me, not at all. β
Rogge's face sank. He snorted coldly and said, "Dr. Mishima, please find out your identity." I'm not consulting with you now, I'm commanding. This is the order, I hope you don't get it wrong. β
Noriko Mishima's face finally darkened. She sighed softly, closed her eyes, and said helplessly, "Yes, Mr. Rogge!" β
A smile hung on Rogge's face, a somewhat cruel smile. However, he soon withdrew his smile and said in a deep voice, "Dr. Mishima, I hope you can have results as soon as possible and don't make us wait too long." Do you know how much pressure I put on to change the schedule and duration of this seminar? It has been explained above, there must be a result this time, otherwise, we will all be punished. You don't want your brother's position in the organization to be shaken either, do you, Dr. Mishima? β
Noriko Mishima bit her lip lightly and tilted her head to the side without saying a word.
Rogge was clearly a little unhappy with Noriko Mishima's reaction. He picked up the cigar again, took a slow puff, and said, "Your granddaughter looks like you." β
When Noriko Mishima heard this, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked directly at Rogge.
Rogge obviously expected Noriko Mishima's reaction a long time ago, and he continued with a slight smile: "You really have a deep affection for Guan Shanyue, in order not to embarrass him, you actually agreed to break up with him, but you hid it from him that you are pregnant." Ouch, what a noble love. I really admire it. β
Noriko Mishima looked at Rogge and said word by word: "It's all over." β
Rogge took another puff on his cigar, then drove it to the ashtray again, and said, "Yes, indeed." It's all in the past. Dr. Mishima, if you truly love your granddaughter, please do more for the organization. β
Noriko Mishima looked directly at Rogge's extremely ugly face, but in the end she looked away helplessly, sighed a little sadly, and said, "I know, I'll do my best." β
Rogge nodded with great satisfaction, and said to Smith and Robert, "Smith, Robert, you two should cooperate more with Dr. Mishima's mission. In addition, the liaison on the Italian side has been exposed and has been captured by Italian intelligence. The exposure of the liaison was a bit of a surprise, but it also reminded us that we must be careful in the future. The organization has already asked me to recommend someone to go up and take over from the original liaison and go to Italy. β
When Smith and Robert heard this, they immediately showed happy expressions on their faces. They looked at Rogge with eager eyes, but said nothing.
Rogge continued: "So, this mission, I hope you can do a little more. Whichever of you performs better, I'll recommend whoever goes up, understand? β
Smith and Robert replied in unison, "Got it!" β
Rogge nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the cigar again. Just as he was about to take a puff, as if he remembered something, he put the cigar down again, looked up at Smith and Robert, and said, "Oh, by the way, the processing of the material has been suspended recently. We used to process the material too often, which has attracted the attention of many countries. Country Z has even set up a special task force to investigate the matter. Italy even sent intelligence services to investigate. So, the above asks us to pause the processing of the footage. β
