In a few hours, Jiang Yue almost touched the entire building. He has also basically mastered the internal layout of this building, where there are hidden sentries, where the security is tighter, and he has a rough estimate of how many armed personnel there are inside, and how many coolies there are working.
In the evening, Jiang Yue returned to Yangfan Middle School.
What he didn't expect was that Han Jingjing was already waiting at school like an ant on a hot pot, very anxious.
In addition to Han Jingjing, there was another person who was actually a veteran member of the Star City Operations Bureau's Operations Division 3, and was familiar with Jiang Yue and the others before.
He was considered a close confidant of Luo Chu. Jiang Yue remembered that his surname was Shi, and everyone generally called him Shitou.
The reason why Han Jingjing was anxious was precisely because of the news this person brought.
The team member narrated the situation again, and Jiang Yue immediately understood why Han Jingjing was anxious.
The deputy director of Operations Division Three, Han Jingjing's uncle, Han Yiming, led a team to deal with a strange incident yesterday and has not returned yet.
Operations Division Three now has an operational discipline. No matter what task is performed, the bureau must be contacted no later than twenty-four hours at the latest.
If there is no contact of any kind for more than 24 hours, it is considered to be in trouble.
After that, every six hours, the trouble level will increase by one level.
Now, there has been no contact with the bureau for more than 36 hours, and the crisis level has been raised to the orange level, which is only a few hours away from the highest red level.
"What did Luo Chu say?" Jiang Yue asked in a deep voice after hearing this.
"Department Luo is under a lot of pressure right now. The tasks of the Operations Bureau are very heavy these days, especially our Third Branch. They have suppressed more than a dozen tasks for us in one breath. Our Third Branch originally only had dozens of team members, including the new recruits. There are no more than a hundred people, and there are no more than ten people left behind to deal with it now. If two more incidents are suppressed, I guess Luo Chu will become a bare commander!"
The Operations Bureau has a heavy task, and Jiang Yue knows it.
Luo Chu and Lao Han had complained before.
With the current manpower of the Action Bureau, even if it is enlarged ten times, it will not be able to handle the endless bizarre incidents.
"These tasks are all prioritized. Each task has the personal will of the superiors. Director Zhou helped block many of them, but the tasks were still like hailstones. They kept suppressing them. Han Chu's task, We have been beaten many times by the superiors, asking our three divisions to deal with it as soon as possible. To name the matter, the director and deputy director must personally lead the team."
"What do you mean from above?"
"There are both Central and South Region, Star City, and instructions from the higher-level operations bureau. In the past few days, the bureau has been under particularly high pressure."
Han Jingjing said angrily: "Emperor and courtiers, these people took advantage of my dad's temporary absence in Star City to come out and cause trouble!"
She rarely talks about her identity, and even deliberately hides her identity as the daughter of the ruling daughter.
He took the initiative to bring it up now, obviously he was annoyed to a certain extent.
Especially when her uncle is in crisis, how can she calm down?
This is not even a conspiracy. To put it bluntly, it is retaliation. It is a naked conspiracy, digging a clear hole. You, Han Yiming, have to jump out of it.
You are the deputy director of the Operations Bureau. How can you not handle strange incidents? Can you hide behind and let other team members take risks?
Why do you sit in this position if you don't take the lead?
If you refuse to resist or are passive and slow in your work, people will have countless reasons to remove you from your position and remove you from this position.
If you go there bravely, sorry, this is a pit, an obvious trap, you can jump in and narrowly escape death.
It is obvious from this that the core issue is not a strange incident at all, but the aftermath of the official struggle in Star City and the continued struggle.
This wave is aimed at attacking the people around Han Yiyang, his cronies, his relatives, and those on his line.
This time it's Han Yiming, it's Luo Chu, and the next step is probably Director Yi Hao of the Star City Operations Bureau.
It’s really a wrong step and a passive step.
Even though he knew it was a trap, Han Yiming still jumped in.
Now it seems that he is indeed deeply trapped in it, and his life is at risk.
Luo Chu sent his cronies to inform Jiang Yue, apparently sending a signal to Jiang Yue for help.
Even if they didn't have any friendship with old Han Luo, for Han Jingjing's sake, he couldn't ignore this matter.
"Brother Shi, go back and tell Luo Chu, and I will try my best to find a solution on this matter."
Shitou waited for several hours, feeling worried in his heart. He nodded repeatedly, handed the copied case file to Jiang Yue, and left quickly.
"Let me take a look at the case file first."
Jiang Yue walked straight to a quiet corner, opened the copy and scanned it.
"Wumei?"
Of course Jiang Yue knew this place. It was actually not far from his original home, Crescent Harbor, just a few kilometers away and no more than ten bus stops away.
Jiang Yue had been to that place at least a hundred times since he was a child. Because his father used to be an official in the cultural department.
Wumei, an urban village, has now been transformed into a community. It has now evolved into a famous cultural signboard in Star City, and the biggest selling point of this signboard is the painting.
Oil painting, Chinese painting, printmaking...
Various painting categories and various famous masters slowly turned Wumei, a little-known place, into a big sign in just 20 to 30 years.
Here, painting is not only an art, but also an industry, which has led many people to become rich, also led to the prosperity and vitality of the local economy, and brought countless employment opportunities.
In Jiang Yue's memory, Wumei could almost be regarded as one of the most densely populated areas in Star City.
Since his father disappeared, Jiang Yue has not been to Wumei again in the past two years.
However, he is so familiar with Wu Mei that he will not feel unfamiliar just because he has not been there for two years.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if he closes his eyes, he can enter and exit Wumei freely without any risk of getting lost.
Lao Han's mission is actually in Wumei, and he has not contacted the outside world for more than 36 hours?
Beauty Snake Gallery?
The file shows that the location of this case is a place called the Beauty Snake Gallery.
There are various large and small galleries in Wumei, at least several hundred, as well as various production units, companies, and studios. Jiang Yue cannot be impressed by them all.
But if Jiang Yue had seen a name like Beauty Snake before, he would definitely be impressed by it.
"Is this a gallery that only opened in the past two years?"
The case itself actually revolves around the disappearance of human beings, and it is not significantly different from other strange cases.
However, in this case, there is a missing person with a relatively important background. She is a teenage girl studying painting. Her grandfather is a retired giant in the Central and South Region.
Although he is retired, he has been operating in the Central and South Region for decades, and various disciples and old subordinates are scattered in various official positions at various levels.
The influence of the old man's words is naturally amazing, and it is naturally easy to put some pressure on the Star City Operations Bureau.
Although the old man may not really be suppressing the Action Bureau, after the case itself was exploited, the retired old man unknowingly became a card in the opponent's hand, and it was a trump card.
If the Star City Operations Bureau handles this case, everything might be fine.
If something went wrong, without the opponent behind them taking action, the old man's anger would probably burn them to pieces.
"Shameless."
After Jiang Yue flipped through the files, he combined the whole story and became more certain that this was a very undisguised conspiracy, and it could even be said to be a justified suppression.
"Jingjing, you stay in school tonight. I'll go back to Wumei Community to have a look. I'm quite familiar with that place."
"Jiang Yue, I have to go with you this time. That's my uncle." Han Jingjing looked at Jiang Yue with almost pleading eyes.
"No. One more person means more risk. Jingjing, if you stay in the school, maybe the school can help. When I went back to school before, I always felt like someone was peeping around me. If there is really any evil intention People with good intentions have ideas about the school, and I will feel more at ease with you here."
Jiang Yue knew that it would not be easy to convince Han Jingjing.
His reason was actually a bit weak, but this trip was too weird, and he wasn't sure if there would be any other trouble with Han Jingjing.
The most important thing is that he is worried that this conspiracy will not only deal with Han Yiming, but may be a series of tricks.
After trapping Han Yiming, then trap Han Jingjing?
If Han Jingjing could be involved, the blow to the leader Han Yiyang would be even greater.
Therefore, Han Jingjing must not be brought to the scene.
Han Jingjing's stay in school may not be safe, but the nature is completely different. If the other party invaded the school to deal with Han Jingjing, that would be a violation of the line.
But if Han Jingjing shows up on her own and gets involved in a weird incident and something goes wrong, no one can blame her.
Even if he wants to cause trouble after taking office, he can't find a defensible reason at all.
Han Jingjing wanted to insist, but Jiang Yue's immediate words slowly gave up her persistence.
"Jingjing, this trap is very obvious. It will trap the action bureau first and trap your uncle. If you want to forcefully participate, you will be the second target in the trap, and then the next step will be to trap your family, all the way to your father. Think about it carefully, can you bear the consequences?"
"I……"
Han Jingjing wanted to be stubborn, but if she thought about it rationally, if this was really a trap, could she really break it if she participated?
No play at all.
Not only cannot it be solved, but it will make the situation more and more troublesome.
For a time, Han Jingjing was filled with frustration and frustration.
She has been a proud child since she was a child. No matter what she does, she can always do her best and be the best. In every aspect, other parents see other people's children.
But now, she sadly discovered that she was still too weak. When the strange era came, she was like a burden that couldn't do anything.
At critical moments, there is always a sense of weakness.
"If it were Li Yue, Jiang Yue would definitely not refuse to take her with him." Han Jingjing thought in despair. At this moment, an unprecedented desire to become stronger grew crazily in her heart.
After dinner, Jiang Yue took advantage of the darkness and quietly left Lao Sun's house.
Before leaving, Jiang Yue specifically told him not to leak the news that he left the school, no matter who knocked on the door or inquired.
This is not because Jiang Yue is too cautious. In this situation, no one can guarantee that Jiang Yue has not been plotted by the other party in this trap.
After experiencing the booby trap that night, Jiang Yue no longer had any expectations for his opponent's integrity.
There is no such thing as a bottom line for these people.
What if Jiang Yue was also involved in this trap?
If he acted rashly and fell into the eyes of the other party, wouldn't he be taking the initiative to get someone killed?
Even if we have to take care of this matter, we must pay attention to methods and strategies.
How to manage and how to act must be decided by yourself instead of being led by the other party.
Therefore, when he left Yangfan Middle School, he didn't even go through the school gate. Instead, he found a secret corner in the girls' dormitory area and left.
Make sure no one is watching you during the entire process.
If he walked through the school gate, Jiang Yue was sure that someone with a heart would notice him.
He had already noticed this feeling of being followed before he returned to school.
Naturally, I won’t go through the school gate at this time.
After leaving the school, Jiang Yue easily avoided the checkpoint, activated the magic talisman, and his speed suddenly increased to a terrifying level.
It was like a ball of smoke at night, and it was impossible to see the human form clearly, moving quickly through the night of Star City.
Not to mention avoiding those checkpoints, even if you pass under the nose of those checkpoints, at that speed, the other party can only see a shadow passing by quickly, like a gust of wind or a cloud of fog.
Under normal logic, when entering Wumei Community, you must go through the main entrance.
But Jiang Yue was very familiar with Wumei. He knew at least seven or eight ways to enter Wumei community.
There are some trails that even the locals in Wumei may not know.
After a while, Jiang Yue had sneaked into Wu Mei.
In the silent night, the darkness enveloped the world like a terrifying giant. The entire Wumei community seemed to have lost its breath, deserted and unable to feel any life.
The streets were in a mess, and there was a desolate aura of doom everywhere.
If Jiang Yue hadn't been so familiar with this place, he wouldn't have been able to imagine that this was the bustling Wumei community back then.
Of course there are still people. Jiang Yue can feel that there are people hiding in many closed doors.
However, these people are trying their best to compress their sense of existence, not wanting the outside world to know their existence, and not wanting to have any involvement with the outside world.
The desolate air was filled with panic and gloom.
The atmosphere was so oppressive that even cats and dogs dared not utter a sound, as if they uttered a sound, death and doom would instantly swallow them up.
call!
A gust of wind blew through the hall, causing many drawing papers to fly on the roadside.
Crack!
Jiang Yue's feet suddenly slipped slightly. When he looked down, he found that he was stepping on a piece of drawing paper, which rubbed against the ground and made a crunching sound.
Moving his steps, Jiang Yue was about to walk away when the drawing paper suddenly slowly opened up, revealing the front of the painting.
The content of the painting is of a woman in red clothes. The style of the painting is extremely coquettish, exuding a cold air. Her eyes, lips and facial contours all reveal a certain evil and cold temperament.
call out!
At the moment when Jiang Yue was staring, the woman in the picture suddenly opened her red lips, and a long tongue stuck out, like a predatory lizard.
The movement was so fast that it was almost like an illusion.
When Jiang Yue calmed down and took a closer look, he saw that it was just a quiet painting.
