Chapter 7 New Tasks and New Clues
Since that day, the battle broke out on Shuncheng Street, a few days have passed, and people are still occasionally talking about it, after all, this kind of thing is not very common, so it has naturally become a topic of conversation after dinner.
Qin Ji Tavern has almost been repaired, and early this morning, Yao Yingjie came to the tavern to find Qin Yikun.
As soon as they met, Yao Yingjie asked his eldest brother Qin to follow him to the office on the second floor, and said, "Brother Qin, I took over a job early in the morning, and I shouldn't be back in the next few days, if there is anything on Xiaoxue's side, please take care of it more." ”
"Needless to say, I'll definitely help. What job did you take? Will it take a long time? Qin Yikun asked.
"Just now, the Tai'an special line called me and informed me that I am going over now, and there is an urgent matter that needs to be sent to Qichuan as soon as possible." Yao Yingjie said.
Hearing this, Qin Yikun asked in wonder: "The urgent mail is still sent according to the specifications of the express line, why don't you use a special cargo spaceship?" They have at least four ships in Tai'an that are specifically designed to transport goods. The ship is much faster than you can ride. ”
"Security, the other party asks for absolute security, and the name of the brave person is to deliver it in person, and the four spacecraft lines are all piled up, and there is no way to pass through Qichuan, they can't change the itinerary halfway, so they can only let me go."
“…… The other party's request for this trip is really peculiar, and the time is really coincidental. Qin Yikun shook his head and said.
"There's something I'm wondering about at the moment."
"What's the matter?" Qin Yikun asked.
"Brother Qin, do you remember what Hao Chenchuan said a few days ago before leaving?"
Qin Yikun thought back to the events of that day, and after a while, said: "He said that you will receive an urgent task soon, let you pay more attention, otherwise your life will be in danger?" …… Wait, how does he know you're going to get an urgent task? ”
"That's what I'm wondering about." Yao Yingjie said.
Qin Yikun thought for a moment and said, "Could it be just a casual remark?" ”
"No, I still know a little about him. Since he deliberately said such things to me, it means that he must know something...... It seems that this trip is not easy. Yao Yingjie carefully recalled the scene when Hao Chenchuan said this that day, he felt that Hao Chenchuan would not say such things casually, since he said it, it must mean that something is going to happen.
Qin Yikun thought for a while and instructed: "Then this trip, before you leave, make all the preparations that need to be made, just in case." I don't know what's going to happen right now, but you have to take care of your safety. Also, if you have any difficult problems and need my help, just ask. ”
Yao Yingjie heard Qin Yikun's words, nodded, and then got up to leave. At the door of the aisle, he turned around and said: "Brother Qin, don't disclose some information about this trip to other people, including Xiaoxue, after all, the other party has applied for the highest security level, and one more person knows about it, and there is one more risk." If she asked, she would say that I had gone to another city to deliver the goods, and I would come back after the delivery. ”
"I get that. Be careful yourself. ”
After explaining the matter, Yao Yingjie left. Qin Yikun was alone in the room, thinking about the strangeness of this matter: "Extremely high security, express line, just the perfect time to avoid air transportation, and also require the use of the brave man himself to deliver it, as well as Hao Chenchuan's words...... How do I feel like it's like a pocket, the opening has been released, waiting for someone to drill into it? If it's against Yingjie, if you want to do something to him, you can't do such trouble......"
…………
Tai'an Special Line Headquarters, Dispatch Counter, Yao Yingjie is carefully inspecting the boxy wooden box in front of him, this wooden box, the length and width are only more than 20 centimeters, which is not very big, but the seal is very tight, and the whole looks like a complete and smooth cube, and it is basically impossible to take out the contents without destroying the box.
Yao Yingjie took it in his hand and checked it, feeling that it still had some weight, looking at the size of this box, he could basically conclude that the contents were metal products.
After checking for a while, Yao Yingjie asked a girl who was registering the delivery information at the counter, "Sister Xiaolu, has this thing been scanned?" ”
Xiaolu replied: "Scanned, it's not in the category of contraband, the perspective image looks like something, and there are some papers, and the boss ordered that you can take orders and ship parts." But what is it for, don't ask, the highest level of confidentiality and security agreement required by the customer, we are just working part-time, and we have no right to inquire about what is inside. ”
Hearing the answer, Yao Yingjie also shook his head helplessly, then looked at the list posted on the box, and asked, "Okay, in addition to these on the list, does the other party have any other requirements?" ”
"No, the customer just said that it is best to deliver to the destination within two days on the premise of ensuring safety. Our department counts you as having three Divine Brave delivery lines, and those two now have missions, so we can only ask you to send them. Xiaolu heard Yao Yingjie's question and replied.
"Qi Chuan, two days, time is enough. Okay, then I'll go. With that, he picked up the box and turned around and went out. Before going out, Xiaolu suddenly said again: "Yingjie, be careful, I don't know what the reason is, I always feel that this customer is chattering, as if something is not quite right." ”
"Oh?" Yingjie stood at the door, turned his head and asked, "What does it feel like is wrong?" ”
Xiaolu thought for a while and replied, "I can't say it, in short, you be careful, don't go wrong on the road." ”
"Okay, don't worry, it's okay." Hearing the other party's instructions, Yao Yingjie replied with a smile, and then walked out.
"It seems that the trip will not be very peaceful. I'm going to see what happens. With a roar of the engine, Yao Yingming was out.
Across the road from Yao Ying's outstanding hair field, outside the roof of a high-rise building, a figure stood there staring in the direction Yao Ying outstanding hair left.
"It's ...... going."
This figure is Hao Chenchuan who fought with Yao Yingjie that day.
Yao Yingjie...... I hope that in two days, you will still be in my sight intact. Hao Chenchuan stared at the direction of Yingjie's departure and muttered to himself.
Jingle Jingle Bell ......
A hurried mobile phone ringtone, Hao Chenchuan still didn't squint, and after opening the phone, he only heard a burst of words from the phone: "Brother Chuan!" I've got it done here, let's talk about it in advance, don't you forget. ”
"Do your thing, don't worry about the rest." Hao Chenchuan replied, and then hung up the phone, his eyes always fixed on the direction Yao Yingjie left, and after a while, he turned around and left here.
…………
The high-end villa area in Qianjiang District, Chicheng, is full of many high-end villas built against the mountains, and Hua Tingfei led a group of subordinates to explore something on a mountain forest path on the periphery of the villa area.
"Team leader, the area around here within a radius of two kilometers is basically covered by surveillance in all directions, according to the situation explained by the family, we have checked all the surveillance videos in this vicinity, and no abnormal situation has been found, but only this small area where we are now is not monitored, and nine times out of ten this is where the incident occurred."
A man with glasses came running from behind, reporting something to Hua Tingfei.
Hua Tingfei frowned, and after a while, he said: "There don't seem to be any useful clues here, and the person seems to have disappeared out of thin air...... However, the three nearby breath receptors did show a slight fluctuation during that time, and it is impossible that there will not be a trace left at all...... You go and talk to his family and see if there's any detail that you haven't thought of. ”
"Okay, I'll ask again." After speaking, the man with glasses turned around and ran towards a villa not far away.
"Lao Chen, are there any suspicious traces on the road?" Hua Tingfei turned to a man who was squatting on the cobblestone pavement not far behind him and carefully probing the area next to the pavement and asked.
"There's no special trace...... Lao Chen replied. But Hua Tingfei looked at his expression and felt as if he hadn't finished speaking, Hua Tingfei asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Here you go." Lao Chen beckoned to Hua Tingfei and motioned for him to come here. Hua Tingfei saw Lao Chen's actions, and walked over with some confusion in his head.
"Hua Group, let me ask you a question, what would you do if you were to kidnap someone in this kind of place where all sides were monitored and only this one was a blind spot, and it would look like everyone had evaporated from the world?" Lao Chen asked after seeing Hua Tingfei walking up to him.
Hua Tingfei pondered for a moment and replied: "The most direct means is to build a spatial teleportation array, so that the kidnappers and the kidnapped can be directly teleported to the preset coordinate location through the array. But ......"
Hua Tingfei paused, and then said: "I'm afraid this method is a little unrealistic here. First of all, the spatial teleportation array, this kind of magic circle is not something that one or two people can cast, and secondly, casting this kind of magic array, the internal source power consumed is not small, and the nearby breath receptor cannot be just a little fluctuation record. Judging from the surrounding monitoring situation, there should be very few people on the other side, maybe just one or two people. ”
"Hua Gu, you have overlooked a special situation." Lao Chen reminded.
"I know what you're trying to say. If the activated circle is transformed into a dormant state in advance, and then branded on a special item, when necessary, it can directly inject part of the endogenous power from the item to awaken the circle, but it is very difficult to write the circle into a special item, and I am afraid that few brave people or organizations in the entire Red Phoenix can do it. ”
Hearing what Hua Tingfei said, I saw Lao Chen casually take out a stone similar to a pebble and hand it to Hua Tingfei, saying that it was picked up nearby just now.
As soon as Hua Tingfei took the stone, he was suddenly shocked. Because he felt that the weight of the stone was wrong, and it was obviously not the weight of the pebbles embedded in the pavement. This stone is on the large side, but it doesn't weigh much.
"This ......," Hua Tingfei was shocked.
Lao Chen stood up and said: "I happened to see this unusual stone just now, although the appearance is no different from other stones, but just now a gust of wind blew, and it was lying on the lawn and moved a little with the wind, the kind that ordinary people can't easily detect." A stone of this size would not be able to be moved by an ordinary light wind. I checked, it's not hollow, the weight of this stone is ridiculously light, it's definitely not an ordinary stone, it's most likely ......"
"This is indeed not an ordinary stone...... "Without waiting for Lao Chen to finish speaking, Hua Tingfei interjected, and then used the inner source force to hold up the stone, and the other hand also released the inner source force on the stone, only to see that the inner source force like thunder and lightning hit the stone, but the stone did not move, on its surface, the residual current continued to swim, as if attached to it.
"You're right, this is a runestone, and it's a primordial stone." Hua Tingfei looked at the phenomenon in front of him and said suddenly.
When Lao Chen heard this, he said after a while: "This shows ......"
"This shows that the second scenario mentioned earlier is very likely to be true." Hua Tingfei continued: "If that's the case, things are a little tricky. You must know that the special items that can be branded with magic circles, such as rune stones and rune paper, are special consumables that are directly and strictly controlled by the state, and not just anyone can have them. ”
"But there is one thing I don't understand, if I did it, how could I leave this rune stone, isn't this a clear way for the pursuers to find clues?" Lao Chen thought for a moment and then said. He's right, which perpetrator will leave the evidence?
Hua Tingfei frowned slightly, and said, "Maybe...... This thing is not left behind by the perpetrators. This rune stone is now in the state of a primordial stone, and has not been branded into a magic circle. ”
Hearing this, Lao Chen was even more confused and asked, "Meaning, this is brand new and has not been used yet?"
Hua Tingfei confirmed: "That's right. You've used rune paper, but you haven't used runestone, so you don't know much about it. When these consumables are used, the rune paper will turn to ashes, you know, and the rune stone will not turn to ashes, but its state will also change. And this rune stone does not seem to have changed its state, which is enough to show that it is still a rough stone. ”
Hua Tingfei believes that the fact that there was a rune stone left at the scene was most likely not the behavior of the perpetrator, but that the remnants deliberately used it to give them some hints to the investigators.
"Lao Chen, you should immediately go to the National Statistics Department to check the entry and exit information of all the recent branding consumables. See what you find out if you don't. ”
"Okay, I'll go now."
After speaking, Lao Chen immediately left here.
"It seems that this matter must be reported to the chief, and I am afraid that the things involved behind it are a little ......," Hua Tingfei said to himself in his heart. Because as far as he knew, there would be no more than 10 people who could brand the magic circle in the entire Red Phoenix. And there don't seem to be many organizations that have the ability to produce these special controlled goods......
"Looks like we'll have to find a way to get him to do me a favor."
