Chapter Seventy-Eight: Approaching
Fortunately, at a critical moment, among the materials found in Philip Johnson's home, they found a record of Johnson's email exchange with the subordinate codenamed "Blue" like a needle in a haystack.
This record existed so early that Johnson himself may have forgotten it, and he simply deleted it and left it alone.
Van Pelle went through a lot of careful work to restore this record at a critical moment, and finally locked down the IP address of Youlan.
Although it is said that Youlan has moved away from that address, according to the clues, the police still found his current address and knew that he was going to meet Scott West tonight.
However, Yulan is very cautious, even if it is his own residence, there is no photo of himself. According to the landlord's description, it was a young man who often wore a hat and spoke softly.
The police asked the landlord to make a portrait based on his memory, but everyone knew in their hearts that there was little hope for this, and it was still on the opposite side tonight.
"You don't know who the other party is, how can you check this, I think you came here today to try your luck." Ling Xiao said with some amusement.
At this time, after a dance, Ling Xiao pulled Beckett out of the dance floor, avoiding West's sight and hiding in the middle of the crowd.
"Tonight is the best opportunity, and if you miss this one, it will be difficult to grab West's handle again." Beckett lowered her head, she didn't want Ling Xiao to see the disappointment and unwillingness on her face.
Raising his head, Beckett glanced at West, then withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and said, "Now that he has discovered our surveillance, I'm afraid he won't meet with Yulan tonight." ”
"Not necessarily." Ling Xiao's eyes stared at Beckett, and said in a low and firm voice: "If my guess is right, West will definitely meet with Youlan tonight, tonight is his best opportunity, miss tonight, and you will be caught by you tomorrow morning." ”
"Is that so?" Beckett blinked and lowered her head, Ling Xiao looked at her just now, and she panicked in her heart.
Of course, it can't be Beckett and Kevin Ryan who came to monitor West tonight, Jane and Van Pell are in the hall, but Ling Xiao doesn't know them, so he doesn't recognize them.
And in a van outside the Disney concert hall, Lisbon also took Resby to be in charge of command and monitoring, and Zhou Jinbao and Esposito in another car to be responsible for the final operation.
Lisbon sat in the command car and said in a deep voice: "Ling Xiao is right, West will definitely do it tonight, he is more worried about accidents than us." So, Beckett, now that Kevin has been discovered, you should cooperate with him to attract West's attention. Jane, you and Van Pelle are in charge of attaching the listener to him, be careful, this is a very vigilant man, and would rather give up the installation than be noticed by him. ”
"Okay." Jane and Van Pelle nodded at the same time. And at this time, Ling Xiao also noticed the two people that Beckett was paying attention to.
"Are those two of your people too?" Ling Xiao frowned, in his opinion, Jane's elegant temperament really didn't look like a policeman, and Van Pelle was too beautiful to think about it at all.
"Patrick and Van Pell are from the State Bureau of Investigation, and this time they formed a joint investigation team with us." After Beckett finished speaking, after seeing that Jane and Van Perle had approached West, she let go of Ling Xiao's arm and walked directly towards Kevin.
Seeing Beckett approaching Kevin Ryan, West frowned for the first time, he didn't expect that there were other police officers on the scene. By this time, Jane and Van Pelle had already danced behind West.
I saw Jane gently let go of the right hand holding Van Peer's slender waist, and the ring finger lightly touched West's back and sticked, and a small bugging device had been pressed on West's body, but West didn't notice it at all.
"Huh!" The corner of Ling Xiao's eyes has been watching the situation here, he didn't expect Patrick to have this means, this is not an ordinary person, Ling Xiao knows in his heart how difficult it will be for someone like West to do things on his body.
Just as it is as difficult as others to do anything to Ling Xiao, this Patrick is not a simple person.
Perhaps sensing Ling Xiao's gaze, Patrick suddenly raised his head and glanced at Ling Xiao, smiled kindly, and then slipped his foot and left West's side with Van Perl.
I have to admit that Patrick did it very cleverly, and West didn't realize that he had been bugged all the time, and his eyes kept falling on Beckett and Kevin.
Although the situation seems to be unfavorable to West, Ling Xiao doesn't think that West's situation is unfavorable, Beckett is powerful, and he can't find out that West is actually a mutant, if it weren't for Ling Xiao who saw him fight with the old man in a suit from the United Kingdom that night, I'm afraid he would also be commanded to treat him as a fighting master.
However, what made Ling Xiao feel a little strange was that the old man in the suit from England had made a move on the night the gem was lost, and he had not been found since then, and Ling Xiao was definitely not so simple behind this matter.
However, these things have nothing to do with him for the time being, so Ling Xiao walked directly to Michaela Baines, nodded to Pepper, and then whispered to Michaela: "Mickie, I'm sorry, I have something to do, I have to go back first." ”
"I'm going to leave so early, I wanted to dance with you!" Michaela looked at Ling Xiao with a smile, it was obvious that she had seen all the movements of Ling Xiao and Beckett on the dance floor just now, as if something had happened.
"More on that next time." Ling Xiao smiled a little embarrassedly, then looked at Pepper and said, "Goodbye Miss Potts, Mickey." ”
"Goodbye, Mr. Ling, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to be a clever Chinese medicine practitioner." Pepper held the champagne in her hand and looked at Ling Xiao with a gaze full of inquiry.
"No, no." Ling Xiao seemed to be taken aback, quickly waved his hand, and said, "I just know a little about some surgical trauma, some simple ones can still be handled, as for the more troublesome ones, they can't be solved." ”
Ling Xiao didn't know what Michaela had said to Pepper, so Pepper suddenly asked this question, regardless of Ling Xiao's ability to say anything more now, in case it would be troublesome to let Pepper find him to see Stark.
"Goodbye, guys." After speaking, Ling Xiao nodded and hurriedly left.
"This Mr. Ling is very interesting." Pepper took a sip of the champagne in her hand, looking at Ling Xiao's eyes with a trace of suspicion, she always felt that Ling Xiao's last sentence was dead.
Michaela Baines didn't know what Pepper meant by that, she was a very direct person.
Tonight, Pepper and Stark's movements were all watched by her, although she said that she was a little disdainful of Pepper, but she also knew in her heart that once Pepper and Stark came together, they would not be separated in a short time. Pepper is not only beautiful, but also the most important assistant by Stark's side.
So since it is impossible to have an affair with Stark again, then simply take another path, doesn't it mean that Stark Industries is going to transform, maybe this is his chance! Thinking of this, Michaela smiled and told Pepper everything she knew about Ling Xiao.
