Chapter 40: A Game of Cat and Mouse

Ye Yu stood calmly beside the stone lion statue in the center of Xiayang Square, his gaze slowly swept over the bustling crowd in front of him, and finally focused on the bell tower opposite.

6 p.m. ...... Two minutes to go.

"It's almost time, be careful." Lou Yue's caring voice came from the invisible wireless earphones.

Ye Yu retracted his gaze, answered softly, and then looked at the pedestrians around him vigilantly.

Not far away, a black sedan was quietly parked in a hidden corner, and Lou Yue and the others in the car were carefully observing the situation around Ye Yu through the cameras placed in advance near Shishi.

"Lan Jue, what's the situation on your side?" Lou Yue picked up the walkie-talkie and asked.

"We are on alert in the vicinity and have not found any suspicious people approaching for the time being." Lan Jue replied. "But I guess Wu Xuebing shouldn't appear in the downtown area, he will definitely instruct Ye Yu to transfer, we just need to keep an eye on that kid."

"Bell...... Clang...... Bell ......"

The bell tower opposite rang six times, Ye Yu's heart couldn't help but hang, he concentrated all his energy, and quietly waited for Wu Xuebing's feedback.

"Zizi...... Zizi ......" The mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrate, which really startled Ye Yu, who was nervous.

Ye Yu hurriedly took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and a brief text message appeared in front of him.

"Get on Metro Line 1, get off at Hehua Road Station, Platform 5."

The sender is a string of strange numbers, but judging from the content and tone of the text message, it should have been sent by Wu Xuebing.

Ye Yu quietly displayed the text message in front of the hidden camera on his chest, and at the same time whispered into the invisible microphone, "What should I do now?" ”

"Did you use a temporary base station to send messages? It's really thoughtful......" Lou Yue thought for a moment, and then instructed. "Do it first."

The subway entrance was on the left side of the square, so Ye Yu didn't dare to slack off and followed the text message instructions to enter the subway station.

"Follow Ye Yu from No. 1 to No. 5, report the situation at any time, and the others will drive directly to Lotus Road."

After receiving Lou Yue's order, all parties acted quickly, and several plainclothes investigators quietly followed Ye Yu into the subway.

At this moment, the subway line 1 is at the peak of work, and the flow of people is very dense, Ye Yu finally squeezed into the subway along the crowd, and several plainclothes nearby also hurriedly tried to squeeze in.

"Under the long road of changing the flames, immediately change to the car coming from the opposite side, and if you can't catch up, you will tear up the ticket."

A new text message came with a sudden request from the other party.

Yan Long Road? Isn't that the next stop? Ye Yu looked up at the stop sign, but before he could react, he was "rushed" out of the car by the crowded crowd on the bus.

The five plainclothes who followed Ye Yu to the car saw that the situation had changed, and they hurriedly planned to get out of the car, but because they were one step slower, they encountered a swarm of people, and it was difficult to get out of the car.

"Changed the long road ahead of time! Ask me to get into the car in the opposite direction! As soon as Ye Yu got off the train, he saw the subway coming in the opposite direction, so he hurriedly stepped forward and squeezed in, and at the same time immediately reported the latest situation to Lou Yue.

"Drip ...... ......As the buzzing sound of the train sounded, the two plainclothes investigators rushed into the opposite direction of the train where Ye Yu was at the last moment, while the other three could only watch the train whizzing past them.

"Report! No. 2, No. 4, and No. 5 positions are lost! ”

"Catch the next train on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th! Positions 1 and 3 continue to star, and the others are on standby for the time being! The other party should already know about our existence, and will definitely find a way to get rid of our people again. Lou Yue reacted quickly. Ye Yu, have you received any indication of a new destination? ”

"Not ...... yet" Ye Yu stared at the phone screen tightly, and as soon as he spoke, another new message jumped out. Wait a minute! Pregnant! ”

"Get off at this stop, get on the opposite train"

Again?

The train entered the station again, and Ye Yu, who was confused, could only follow the instructions and prepare to get off. And because of the experience of the previous car, this time the two plainclothes squeezed to the door in advance, and when they saw Ye Yu getting off the train, they hurriedly went straight to the opposite train.

"Stop, go back to the original car, or tear up the ticket immediately."

What the!?

As soon as Ye Yu, who had just stepped off the train, saw the new information that jumped out, he immediately stopped, and before he could report to Lou Yue, he was "pushed" back to the original train by the passengers who were in a hurry to get on the train.

The train buzz sounded again, and at this time, it was impossible for the two plainclothes who found that something was wrong to rush back, with the sound of "bang" closing the door, Ye Yu could only helplessly watch the only two remaining guards being locked out, looking at the car and sighing.

"Why are you blocking the door if you don't get out of the car! Neuropathy! An old aunt beside her glanced at Ye Yu, her face full of impatience, and she seemed to be very dissatisfied with Ye Yu's stunned behavior at the door of the train just now.

However, at this time, Ye Yu was in no mood to pay attention, because he suddenly realized a problem.

Lotus Road, Yanchang Road...... The direction of the first few messages is all very clear, but the text message just received is written "this station", "back to the original car" and other vague words, that is to say, the other party is very clear about his every move, in other words, the other party should be not far from him to control himself, and it is even likely to be on the current train!

Thinking of this, Ye Yu quietly glanced around, the subway during the rush hour was crowded, and the vision was seriously obstructed, and in the case of possible surveillance, Ye Yu did not dare to use the invisible microphone to report the situation, so he could only quietly edit a text message and send his assumptions and situation to Lou Yue.

『Get off at the next stop, Exit 7』

Another text message unsurprisingly sent new instructions, and Ye Yu got off the train as instructed and slowly paced from the crowded waiting platform to Exit 7. Under the premise that there are no other investigators around him, all he can do is to delay as much time as possible, so that Lou Yue's side can reconnect with him.

"Ding ——!" Suddenly, a strong electromagnetic interference noise erupted from the invisible earphones, and Ye Yu almost burst his eardrums, he pulled out the built-in earphones, feeling a little dizzy and ringing in his ears.

"Report! Earphone...... It seems that something is wrong......" Ye Yu rubbed his ears and whispered into the microphone.

There was no response.

"Hey? Can you hear ME? Ye Yu said, took out his mobile phone and prepared to send a message to Lou Yue, but found that the mobile phone no longer had any signal.

Bad!

The familiar situation made Ye Yu immediately tense up, but in the next moment, Ye Yu felt that a hard object was being pushed against his back.

There was a "click" sound, which seemed to be the sound of a bullet being loaded.

"Don't make a sound, keep walking."

A special men's perfume floated from behind him, and Ye Yu didn't have to look back to know who the one behind him was—it seemed that the main owner had finally appeared.

"Where is Xiao Yan? Since I'm here as promised, you let her go! Ye Yu continued to walk casually according to Wu Xuebing's words, and quietly touched the wrist of his left hand.

"If you try to do anything with that bracelet again, I'll kill you right now." A cold voice sounded from behind him, and Ye Yu's movements suddenly froze, it seemed that Wu Xuebing had already sensed Ye Yu's intentions. "Keep that bracelet, headset, and monitoring probe on your chest all in the trash can next to you."

"You haven't answered my question yet! Where is Xiao Yan? Ye Yu ignored it, and asked the other party directly, and at the same time quickly thought about how to contact Lou Yue to subdue this person.

"As long as you come with me, I will naturally let her go then." Wu Xuebing said slowly, "But if I don't go back in time, my companion will kill that woman when the time comes, so don't be naïve to think that everything will be fine if you catch me here." ”

"You ——!" was seen through by the other party, Ye Yu was a little overwhelmed for a while. "Then how do I know if you'll really let her go then?"

"Hehe, you're not qualified to bargain with me." Wu Xuebing sneered, "Do what I say now!" ”

Seeing that there was no room for mediation, Ye Yu thought twice and decided to do what the other party wanted.

"Exit 2, let's go!" Wu Xuebing secretly held Ye Yu and walked in the opposite direction of Exit 7.

The people on the platform were in a hurry, and no one noticed that a conspiracy had just been staged around them.

--------------

"Are you sure?" Lan Jue listened to the report with a serious expression. "Hmm...... Well...... I see, thank you guys. Lan Jue hung up the phone and was about to say something to Lou Yue beside him, but when he saw the other party's anxious look, he suddenly felt that it was not the right time.

"Locate the location of Ye Yu's bracelet immediately!" Lou Yue put down the walkie-talkie heavily, and her face was very ugly.

"Calm down." Lan Jue said. "It's still impossible to determine whether Ye Yu has an accident......

"According to that kid's previous report, Wu Xuebing is likely to be near him, plus there is such a thing as signal blocking...... "Lou Yue seemed to be a little anxious." Gotta find him quickly! ”

"Director, the specific location of the bracelet has been located!" A new report came over the intercom, "On the waiting platform of Xinzha Road Station of Metro Line 1, there is no sign of movement." ”

"Didn't move?" Lou Yue frowned. "Send someone to search, I'll be there right away."

In the subway operations office, several investigators looked at the things on the table, at a loss.

Invisible headphones, microphones, miniature cameras...... There is also the metal bracelet, which is quietly lined up and placed in front of Lou Yue.

"This is something I just found from the dumpster on the other side of the platform." An investigator explained softly. "We are already in the process of accessing surveillance footage from the scene, and we should find clues soon."

Lou Yue was silent and picked up the bracelet and observed for a while. "The bracelet was not violently destroyed, it should have been taken off by Ye Yu himself."

"If Ye Yu took it off himself, then he should have been coerced...... It is likely that he has already met Wu Xuebing. Lan Jue analyzed.

"Haven't you found the surveillance footage yet?" Lou Yue's fierce gaze swept towards the investigators in front of him, and he saw that the latter's hairs stood on end, and they all bowed their heads and did not dare to look at each other.

Just as the atmosphere in the office was about to freeze, an investigator hurriedly barged in.

"The video has been checked, and clues have been found, come and take a look here!"

Before he could speak again, Lou Yue walked straight past him and directly entered the monitoring room next door.

"Thirty minutes ago, Ye Yu exited from Exit 2 of Xinzha Road Station, next to a man in black wearing a hat next to him, it seems that he should have been hijacked!" The investigator added, pointing to the video footage.

"Immediately retrieve all surveillance footage near Gate 2 and follow the route!" Lou Yue decisively gave the order.

"Thirty minutes have passed since Ye Yu left, considering the rush hour after work, even if they take the car, they shouldn't have gone far, but once they get out of the downtown area, they may be ......" Lan Yu Zhengse said on the side.

"Immediately dispatch personnel to conduct a search within a 20-kilometer radius here." Lou Yue turned to the investigator beside him, his brows furrowed.

"Quick! We're running out of time. ”
