Chapter 14: Observation
The Bai family's mansion.
With a hurried footstep, the butler anxiously pushed open the door of the master's room, and walked in with a sigh of relief, his face looking pale and a thin cold sweat on his old countenance.
"Come to see me in such a hurry, do you have news of Xiaofan? How is he? Bai Fan's father looked at the housekeeper and said.
Bai Fan's father was wrinkled, his face showed the wind and frost accumulated over the years, his cheeks were full of vicissitudes and exhaustion, and as he spoke, Bai Fan slowly got up, and his emaciated body looked as weak as a dead tree.
Since Xuanji and Bai Fan met, the two seemed to have evaporated from the world, and three months had passed, and he still had no news about Bai Fan.
In the time since Bai Fan's disappearance, he has not been idle, and has been inquiring about Bai Fan's whereabouts everywhere, but there is still no news.
He even approached the military and wanted to ask for something from the military, but the military got the same result, because Xuanji was also in a state of disconnection.
"Back to the master, there is news of Xiaofan, it's just..." The housekeeper lowered his head, a little afraid to go on.
Father Bai's brows furrowed, and after thinking for a few seconds, he asked, "Is he injured, and where is he now?" ”
The housekeeper slowly raised his head, looked at Father Bai with an apologetic look, and then said slowly word by word: "The third young master is dead, and he fell to his death." ”
The housekeeper only said these eight words, but these eight words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the white father suddenly took half a step back, seemingly a little dizzy, and then shook his head slightly, with a very complicated emotion on his face, as if he was not believing and grief.
However, he still waved his hand to the butler, motioning for the butler to make things clear.
"An hour ago, in the territory of the Dawning Union, in an ordinary building in Bard City, the young master fell to his death, and the height of the fall was a rooftop above the thirty-fourth floor." The butler whispered.
Hearing that, Father Bai wanted to ask something, but he swallowed that sentence again, he didn't want to know the answer, once he knew the answer, he was afraid that his heart would not be able to stand it.
Obviously, the housekeeper knew what Father Bai wanted to ask, so he added in a low voice: "Our people have verified the DNA on the corpse, as well as the physical characteristics, it is the young master." ”
Hearing this result, the white father, who was still holding a fluke mentality, seemed to hear a thunderbolt from the sky, his eyes were black, his body suddenly leaned back, and the whole person sat on the sofa.
"Isn't there the military's strongest combat clone to protect him, how can he die, how can he fall from the building." Father Bai muttered to himself, and suddenly his eyes fluctuated slightly, and he added to himself: "Could it be that Xuanji did it?" ”
From his point of view, Bai Fan's fall from the building is inseparable from Xuanji, if Xuanji did it, then the mastermind behind her is the military.
The housekeeper was silent, he didn't dare to say more, although many things were still being investigated, but judging from the information collected so far, all this was just speculation, after all, Xuanji was still missing.
Then, Father Bai calmed down, raised his left wrist, fiddled with the watch on his left wrist, and dialed a number.
"Is it General Fitzrow, is it convenient, in an hour, I want to see you, there is something important."
In addition, there is a group of people in the military's special operations forces who are quietly concerned about Bai Fan's death.
In an operational command vehicle equipped with anti-surveillance equipment, several high-ranking officers sat inside, but their expressions were a little surprised.
Judging from the failure of the well-planned assassination operation in the small Asian village, Xuanji, who has the rhythm, has a strong fighting ability, so during this time, they do not dare to act rashly.
Because if the assassination fails, what tricks will be left behind, which will make it difficult to do the next thing, after all, no one wants to ruin a big thing because of themselves.
But all of a sudden, all of this made them feel very sudden, they received the news that Bai Fan was dead, at first, they thought their ears had heard it wrong, until the intelligence was confirmed again and again, they didn't know that Bai Fan was really dead.
"Will there be anything strange in this, why did he fall to his death, and there is another question, where is Xuanji now." One of the officers spoke first.
Several people looked at each other a few times, although there were details in this, but after all, his body was found, and after DNA comparison, they confirmed that it was Bai Fan who died.
As for the details, it was not a matter of great importance to some of them, but it only made the more logical Major General Cassily suspicious, although there was no evidence, but he always felt that there was something strange about it.
"Xuanji? She doesn't matter anymore, if she kills Bai Fan, that's better, whether it's her hand or not, that young man is already dead, isn't it. Another officer said.
Everyone turned their eyes to him, only to see a slight smile on the corner of his mouth and said: "No matter who killed Bai Fan, now Bai Fan is dead, in this case, wouldn't all of us here save trouble?" ”
When everyone heard this, they felt that what he said made some sense, if Bai Fan was still alive, they would continue to plan the assassination of the two, but Bai Fan was dead, and the stone hanging on their hearts could be regarded as letting go.
Turning his gaze to Bard City again, a cordon had been drawn on the outside of the building where Bai Fan had fallen, and a tight seal had been sealed.
In the far corner of the restaurant, where the line of sight can be seen, a young man and woman sit by the window, looking in the direction of the cordon from time to time.
"Hopefully, I hope this can be fooled, this is already my hole card." Bai Fan lifted the lemon juice and took a slight sip.
When he turned around, the food on the table had been eaten by Xuanji, and at this time, Xuanji was gobbling up the food with a plate.
Seeing Bai Fan turn around, Xuanji put down the plate suddenly, wanting to lift the only dish on the table that had not been touched yet, and wanted to take it for herself.
"Hey, I've only eaten two bites, and there's nothing left." Bai Fan glanced at the empty plate on the dining table and said, he found that the corners of Xuanji's mouth were already full of grease stains.
However, Bai Fan was not angry, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, in these three months, he was able to survive thanks to Xuanji, and this meal was treated as a reward for her.
Xuanji ignored Bai Fan's gaze, but picked up the last dish and devoured it, she hadn't eaten like this for a long time.
Bai Fan originally wanted to admire Xuanji's eating appearance, but Xuanji suddenly became alert, her eyes stayed on a passing man, and this scene happened to be captured by Bai Fan.
It was a man in a suit and leather shoes, and when he passed in front of them, there was nothing out of the ordinary, but Xuanji keenly caught the momentary fluctuations in his eyes.
The man just glanced at Xuanji, then walked forward, and disappeared around the corner.
Xuanji devoured a few mouthfuls and found that something was wrong, so she put down the plate and cutlery in her hand, wiped her mouth, and then wanted to pull out the dagger from her lap and wanted to catch up, but suddenly it occurred to her that this was a restaurant, and if she moved around the restaurant with a dagger, it would cause a riot.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Bai Fan asked.
Xuanji didn't reply to him, but got up and walked to the corner of the man in the suit and leather shoes to look forward, only to find that the man had disappeared, and it was less than five seconds before and after.
Seeing this, Xuanji immediately returned to Bai Fan's side and pulled him out of the restaurant.
"I don't know, I'm a little uneasy, let's get out of here." Xuanji said as she pulled Bai Fan's arm and walked forward.
Bai Fan had already paid for this meal, but there was still one last dish left before she could finish it, but she had an ominous intuition, it was an uneasy feeling, this man in a suit and leather shoes was not so simple.
The two turned left and right, and only stopped after making sure that no one was following.
Bai Fan also saw a trace of uneasiness on Xuanji's face, so he gently patted Xuanji's shoulder and said, "It's okay, even if they want to find out that I cheated death, it will take some time." ”
During this time, Xuanji's spirit was a little too close, and any abnormal movement would cause her to be alert.
Hearing this, Xuanji also breathed a sigh of relief, maybe the person just glanced at her casually, maybe the fluctuation in his eyes was due to her own mistake.
"Next, we have to go to Ah Zi and get that thing back." Bai Fan said to Xuanji.
Xuanji nodded, she hadn't recovered from her uneasiness, sometimes her instincts were accurate, she hoped there was nothing out of the ordinary, but she always felt that something was going to happen.
The two of them did transfigulate through the nano mask, and they also relied on fake identity cards to disguise, so from the perspective of others, Bai Fan and Xuanji were just two ordinary people, and there was nothing unusual about them.
So they rented a car and went back to the city where Bai Fan was located, Suona City, and secretly went to the second house he gave to Ah Zi.
As for how to get things back without alarming Ah Zi, Bai Fan made a mistake in this matter, the second house he gave Ah Zi was a very well-equipped residence, full of infrared cameras, and there were no dead ends to sneak in.
Xuanji's starstripe system has not fully recovered, and the computer virus has still not been completely cleaned up, so that some of her combat functions are still disabled for the time being.
However, Xuanji still activated the infrared scanning function to scan the house, and after the scanning, she also gave up, the security measures here are very tight, no matter how she sneaks in, she will be detected by the infrared camera.
"Since you can't sneak in, then walk in generously, Bai Fan, you wait for me here, I'll help you take it out." Xuanji patted her chest and said.
Bai Fan was stunned, he was thinking about this matter in the long run, but he didn't expect Xuanji on the side to put on a confident look.
"Ah Zi is different from my previous lover, she knows a lot of things about me, I'm afraid that if you go like this, you will expose us, or let's think about it in the long run" Bai Fan said.
I saw Xuanji show a wicked smile, pointed to her slightly bulging abdomen, and showed a touch of comfort on her cheeks, she only had a relationship with this woman named Ah Zi, plus she also wore a nano mask to change her appearance, this woman called Ah Zi definitely couldn't recognize who she was.
"She doesn't know me, Bai Fan, you just wait for my good news, that old aunt, it's not difficult to deal with." Xuanji said confidently without looking back.
Only Bai Fan was left standing in place with a black line on his face, Ah Zi was about the same age as him, he was not an old aunt, in terms of appearance, in this city of Suona, there were only a handful of women who could compare to Ah Zi's appearance.
