It sounds slow, but in fact it only took a few minutes from the beginning to the end.
Except for some people around, people further away didn't even realize what was happening here, and it finally didn't cause large-scale panic.
The Special Operations Department conducted a surprise interrogation of the kidnappers directly in a nearby alley and determined that there were ten of them in total.
He arrested nine of the secret guards, and one more was arrested based on the location he provided.
According to the kidnappers, their purpose was to create chaos on Suzaku Street.
The captured kidnapper was considered a somewhat high-level spy and knew more details about the mission.
It seems that the original plan was to buy Hayes time to escape after stealing the top order.
After all, there are so many people on Zhuque Street today on Shangyuan Festival. If a commotion breaks out, the court will definitely look here first. It will be relatively easier to escape.
Yang Junyu and others returned to the secret guard, and Wei Jie explained the information to them one by one.
"So now that Hayes has not acted according to their wishes, their plan has failed?" Yang Junyu asked.
"That's pretty much what it means..."
Wei Jie nodded, then turned to look at Qu Jianbin: "And you, do you know how big of a mistake you made today?"
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't expect him to have an exoskeleton..."
Qu Jianbin decisively admitted his mistake.
"You didn't expect that? What's the point of having a brain? If the hostage is killed in front of your eyes, it will be a huge shame for the entire secret guard! Not to mention that Ruan Yaxuan is still a non-staff member of the secret guard. If a person is killed because of your mistake Comrade, do you know how serious the consequences are?" Wei Jie lectured while slapping the table.
Her voice was not loud, but her words were precise.
Qu Jianbin said nothing, after all, this matter was indeed his fault.
That is to say, Yang Junyu reacted quickly enough to avoid serious consequences, otherwise Ruan Yaxuan would probably be a corpse now.
"You go back and write a review. In addition, you will receive a demerit. Next time you make this kind of mistake, you will be transferred to a new team."
"Yes!" Qu Jianbin quickly agreed.
After dealing with his affairs, Wei Jie picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Continue, His Majesty and the Queen just had a simple meeting. In any case, Hayes and his daughter are both citizens of the Tang Dynasty, so we want to find a way to save him. daughter."
Mei Jianshi said: "The second group is responsible for overseas tasks, right? What is our task?"
"Let's talk to Hayes first and try to get more clues." Wei Jie replied.
Hao Wenhong picked up the tea cup: "Well, it's not that I don't say nice things, but the problem is that under normal circumstances, Hayes would not cooperate. Now his daughter... I'm afraid she has been voted out, right?"
Wei Jie shook his head: "Your Majesty helped him delay."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xuewen asked.
"His Majesty has just unified his message to the cabinet ministers and released the news that Qingluan's top order has been lost! A wanted order for Hayes's secret guard has also been sent."
As Wei Jie spoke, he raised his hand and made two operations, and Hayes' wanted secret guard suddenly appeared in the air.
This kind of arrest warrant is different from the one issued by the Ministry of Punishment. It is not open to the public. After all, some cases are not suitable for the media to report.
It is a kind of internal information that only the court and the military can know.
But other countries will not know the information disclosed internally. After all, in this era, with such advanced technology, there are too few secrets that can be hidden between countries.
Everyone immediately understood that this was to give Hayes a bargaining chip to negotiate with the other party.
If he can successfully make the other party think that the supreme command is in his hands, the other party will not dare to do anything to his daughter, and must provide her with good food and drink.
"The question is how long can this drag on?"
"It's hard to say, but normally, it will take nearly a month to produce a new supreme order." Wei Jie replied.
Qingluan's highest order is a password, but this password is not a number or an English letter, but a physical secret key.
It is a special electronic key, similar to a SIM card, but smaller in size.
You must have this specific key to access the core underlying code of Qingluan.
This electronic key is the highest industrial achievement of Datang. It is currently unable to be mass-produced, and the cost is extremely high, and it will take a long time to make.
"So, the second department has one month to rescue his daughter?"
"It should actually be shorter. After all, this thing is time-sensitive. Every time it is delayed for a day, it is more likely to lose its effect. So their time should only be half a month." Wei Jie replied.
Yang Junyu thought for a while: "In my opinion, it is better for us to talk to Hayes first, sort out the clues as soon as possible, and then hand them over to the second department."
"Yes!" Wei Jie nodded in agreement, "The person is already on the way and will be there in a moment. I will send you the current status of the case."
As soon as the words fell, the information was sent to everyone's terminal.
Yang Junyu opened it and started reading.
Hayes is from Baseluk. He came to Datang to study with his girlfriend more than 20 years ago, and then stayed in Datang.
Later, he married his girlfriend and had a child. He passed the imperial examination and became an official of the Tang Dynasty.
The Republic of Baseluk has a history of less than a thousand years, and it has been more than 300 years since its founding.
Thousands of years ago, Datang's science and technology exploded, and the world entered the Age of Discovery.
One of the symbols of the Age of Discovery is pirates.
Although almost no one dared to cause trouble blatantly in the Tang Dynasty's waters at that time, pirates in other waters were still very famous.
The more representative ones are the pirates in Northern Europe. They call themselves sea herders. In the era after Emperor Shengzong, their activities were relatively frequent.
Perhaps it was also because various products of the Tang Dynasty were spread all over the world, and there were even legends about them here.
As the world developed, these pirates realized that they could no longer live this kind of life, so they planned to establish a country.
So they officially founded the country in 382 Qianyuan. At that time, they also imitated the system of the Tang Dynasty and established a feudal empire.
However, different systems may not work well in different geographical locations. Due to famine and various natural and man-made disasters, the country soon perished and only existed for less than two hundred years.
Subsequently, the country went through several regime changes in a short period of time, and finally, more than 300 years ago, after the last military coup, it became the current Republic of Baseluk.
This country adopts a parliamentary republic system of government and is relatively large.
Yang Junyu found the map and compared it. This country included the original Sweden, Finland and Murmansk Oblast. Generally speaking, it was not a small country.
Wei Jie continued: "As we all know, because of Atlanta's international strategy, Baseluk is now wearing the same pants as them. Therefore, the people who kidnapped Hayes' daughter were probably FSC and others."
"Have the people been transported to Atlanta now?" Yang Junyu asked.
"No!" Wei Jie shook his head, "They just have a cooperative relationship. There is a high possibility that they would even hide such a big thing from Baseluk!"
"Then if this is the case, can't you send a notice to the Baseluk government? Now my people of the Tang Dynasty have disappeared on their territory. They should be responsible, right?" Yang Junyu asked.
"Hayes's parents have already reported the crime, but it's useless." Wei Jie shrugged.
After a pause, she continued: "It's just that we don't know yet whether the Baseluk government knows what's involved behind this matter."
"The possibility of not knowing is relatively small, right? If you don't know such a big thing, how can you be considered a first-tier developed country?" Mei Jianshi said.
"That's not necessarily true!" Zhao Xuewen turned the teacup twice, "For other countries in the world, it takes courage to be hostile to the Tang Dynasty. Don't talk about them, even Atlanruo, ask them if they dare Dare to start a war with the Tang Dynasty."
Hao Wenhong shook his head: "War is often a choice made out of desperation, and it is not that easy to start a war in this era. Knowing that it is impossible to start a war, this kind of thing may not be impossible."
"Okay, let's not make any guesses. It's almost twelve o'clock. After the performance above, Hayes will be here. Let's talk to him in detail then. By the way, the Queen will also come to listen. You all give me Cheer up!" Wei Jie clapped her hands.
"yes!"
As soon as they heard that the queen wanted to listen, everyone agreed enthusiastically.
"Xiao Yang, go to the reception room and make a note for Ruan Yaxuan, and then let her go back first." Wei Jie made the work arrangement.
"good."
Yang Junyu agreed, got up, added some water to the cup and came to the reception room.
After entering the door, he saw Ruan Yaxuan sitting on a chair, sliding his fingers continuously, as if he was playing some small game.
Seeing him come in, he raised his hand and said hello: "Yo."
"You are so big." Yang Junyu sat down opposite her, "Do you know how dangerous it is today? As a hostage, it is very unwise for you to provoke the kidnappers!"
"Is it my fault?" Ruan Yaxuan shrugged, "I didn't know that I could be held hostage even if I went shopping during the Lantern Festival... This is Chang'an, a city with the lowest crime rate in the world!"
Yang Junyu waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with the crime rate."
"Is that a fight with other countries?" Ruan Yaxuan asked.
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask." Yang Junyu interrupted her, "Now cooperate with me to make a record, and then you can go back."
"oh."
Ruan Yaxuan agreed and acted very cooperatively.
It was past eleven o'clock when the record was finished. Yang Junyu confirmed that the record was OK and passed it to Wei Jie.
Then he took out a blindfold and handed it to Ruan Yaxuan: "Let's go, I'll take you out."
"Is it really necessary to wear this thing? Do you really think I can't guess where I am?" Ruan Yaxuan asked.
Yang Junyu raised his hand and said: "You are also a non-staff member of the secret guard. There are some things you know, but you cannot tell them."
"Okay, okay." Ruan Yaxuan didn't want to continue to struggle with this topic, so he put on the blindfold in a cooperative manner.
Then Yang Junyu took her out. After getting on the elevator, Ruan Yaxuan suddenly said: "You should be able to ask for more information about the kidnapper who took me hostage."
"What do you mean?" Yang Junyu asked.
"The ring on his hand is for couples. It was developed by a company of one of my clients. I observed it carefully at the time and found that the ring had not been worn for a long time, and he was very uncomfortable with it. A ring that he was not used to, In this case, wearing it without taking it off...you think, what does this mean?" Ruan Yaxuan asked.
Yang Junyu thought for a while: "He has a lover?"
"And they should be lovers who have just established a relationship." Ruan Yaxuan replied with a smile, "You don't need me to teach you the next thing, right?"
"How about I tell Wei Jie and let you come to the secret guard for special interrogation." Yang Junyu said.
"Forget it, I'm not interested. But if you want me to help you someday, I can come over." Ruan Yaxuan replied.
Yang Junyu turned his head and glanced at her, but it was a pity that she wore a blindfold and showed no expression.
"Isn't it good to have another job? What's more, this is a secret guard, which means there is a staff."
"In a place like this, you don't even know when it will be sold."
"This is too much to say."
"Then can you trust everyone in the secret guard?" Ruan Yaxuan asked.
These words made Yang Junyu fall silent for a moment. To be honest, he really couldn't do it.
Although this is a security department, it is a department with a large number of people after all.
When there are too many people, it is impossible to guarantee 100% safety. No one can say whether there are people among the secret guards who are instigating rebellion from foreign intelligence agencies.
Hearing his silence, Ruan Yaxuan smiled slightly: "Look, you can't do it either."
"Then you are not afraid that I will sell you someday?" Yang Junyu asked.
"Then at least I can know that you sold me." Ruan Yaxuan answered lightly, with a confident smile on his lips, "What's more, you won't sell me."
"Haha, you do trust me."
"I trust my own vision. You said you wanted to kill me several times, but you didn't actually kill me in the end."
In response, Yang Junyu curled his lips and did not make any comments.
Ruan Yaxuan is not an ordinary person. Even if she likes to play with fire, she can still ensure her own safety.
He took Ruan Yaxuan out of the Daming Palace and arranged for her to get in the car. Someone would take her to Pingkangfang.
When she got there, she could take off the blindfold and return her terminal to her.
Looking at her back as she got into the car and left, Yang Junyu raised his arm and waved. He really hoped to keep his distance from her in the future. Such a person was so scary.
Just as he was about to go back, familiar footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, it was Anman.
Yang Junyu turned back: "Why did you come out?"
"It's almost twelve o'clock and the Kongming Lanterns are going to be set off. Come out and have a look." Anman replied.
At this time, Wei Jie's voice also sounded in the earphones: "Xiao Man is coming up. She likes Kongming Lanterns very much. Let's take a look with her."
Yang Junyu didn't speak, but sent her a text message: Got it!
Anman waved to him: "Let's go and look at the wall."
"Isn't it appropriate for me to go up the palace wall?"
"I am the princess, I will take you up, no one will stop you." Anman continued to wave his hand without looking back, indicating to follow.
