Since the war broke out on Shuncheng Street that day, people have occasionally been talking about it in the past few days. After all, this kind of thing is not very common, so it has naturally become a topic of discussion after dinner.
Qinji Tavern was almost repaired. Early that morning, Yao Yingjie came to the tavern to find Qin Yikun.
As soon as they met, Yao Yingjie asked his brother Qin to follow him to the office room on the second floor, and said: "Brother Qin, I took a job early this morning, and I probably won't be back in the next few days. If there is someone over there at Xiaoxue, Whatever it is, please ask Brother Qin to take care of it."
"No need to say more about this, I will definitely help. What job did you take? Will it take a long time?" Qin Yikun asked.
"Taian's special line just called me, telling me to go there now. 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 confusion: "The urgent items are sent according to the specifications of the express line. Why not use a special cargo spaceship? They have at least four spaceships specially used to transport cargo in Tai'an. The spaceship is better than your bicycle. Much faster.”
"Safety, the other party requires absolute safety, and calls for the brave man to deliver it in person. Moreover, the routes of the four spaceships are all full, and there is no one passing through Qichuan. They can't change the itinerary midway, so they can only let me went."
"...The requirements for this job are really strange, and the timing is really coincidental." Qin Yikun shook his head.
"There's something that I'm a little confused about right now."
"What's the matter?" Qin Yikun asked.
"Brother Qin, do you still remember what Hao Chenchuan said before leaving a few days ago?"
Qin Yikun thought about what happened that day, and after a moment, he said: "He said that you will receive an urgent task soon, and asked you to pay more attention, otherwise your life will be in danger?... Wait, how did he know that you would receive an urgent task? Task?"
"This is exactly what I am confused about." Yao Yingjie said.
Qin Yikun thought for a moment and said, "Could it be just a casual comment?"
"No, I still know something about him. Since he specifically said this to me, it means that he must know something... It seems that this job is not easy." Yao Yingjie thought about it carefully. The scene when Hao Chenchuan said this that day, he felt that Hao Chenchuan would not say such words casually. Since he said it, it must mean that something is going to happen.
Qin Yikun thought for a while and said: "Then before you leave, make all the preparations you need to do, just in case. We don't know what will happen now, but you must pay attention to your own safety. Also, if you encounter any difficult problems and need my help, just ask."
Yao Yingjie nodded when he heard Qin Yikun's instructions, then stood up to leave. At the door of the corridor, he turned around and said: "Brother Qin, please don't reveal some information about this trip to others, including Xiaoxue. After all, the other party has applied for the highest security level. If one more person knows, there will be more risks. If she When asked, he said that I went to another city to deliver goods and came back after the delivery.”
"I understand this. Just be careful."
After explaining the matter, Yao Yingjie left. Qin Yikun was alone in the room thinking about the weirdness of this matter: "Extremely high security, express line, perfect timing to avoid air transportation, and also requires a brave man to deliver it in person, and what Haochenchuan said... Why do I feel like this is like a pocket, with the opening already open, waiting for people to get in? If it is targeting Yingjie, it wouldn’t be so troublesome to attack him..."
…………
At the shipping counter at the Tai'an Special Line Headquarters, Yao Yingjie is carefully inspecting the boxy wooden box in front of him. This wooden box is only about 20 centimeters long and wide. It is not too big, but the seal is very tight. , it looks like a complete and smooth cube. It is basically impossible to take out the contents without destroying the box.
Yao Yingjie took it in his hand and weighed it, feeling that it still had some weight. Looking at the size of the box, he could basically conclude that the things inside were metal products.
After checking for a while, Yao Yingjie asked a girl at the counter who was registering shipping information: "Sister Xiaolu, has this thing been scanned?"
Xiaolu replied: "It's been scanned. It's not in the category of contraband. From the perspective image, it looks like some parts and some paper. The boss has told me to take orders and deliver them. But what is it used for, you don't know. Don’t ask, it’s the highest level confidentiality and security agreement required by the customer. We are just part-time workers and have no right to inquire what is in it.”
Hearing the answer, Yao Yingjie shook his head helplessly, then looked at the list on the box and asked, "Well, besides what's on the list, does the other party have any other requirements?"
"No, the customer just said that under the premise of ensuring safety, it is best to deliver the goods to the destination within two days. Our department counts you as having three brave people in the delivery line, and those two have tasks now, so we can only ask you to deliver it. "Xiao Lu heard Yao Yingjie's question and replied.
"Qichuan, two days is enough time. Okay, then I'll set off." After that, he picked up the box and turned around to go out. Before leaving, Xiaolu suddenly said, "Yingjie, be careful. I don't know why, but I always feel that this customer is nagging, and there seems to be something wrong."
"Oh?" Yingjie stood at the door, turned around and asked, "What exactly do you feel is wrong?"
Xiaolu thought for a while and replied: "I can't tell. In short, be careful and don't let anything go wrong on the road."
"Okay, don't worry, it's okay." After hearing the other party's instructions, Yao Yingjie replied with a smile, and then walked out.
"It seems that this trip will not be very stable. I want to see what will happen." With the roar of the engine, Yao Yingjie set off.
Across the road from where Yao Yingjie started, on the outside of the roof of a tall building, a figure stood staring in the direction Yao Yingjie left.
"Let's go..."
This figure was clearly Hao Chenchuan who had a big fight with Yao Yingjie that day.
"Yao Yingjie... I hope you can still appear in my sight intact in two days." Hao Chenchuan stared at the direction Yingjie left and muttered to himself.
Jingle bell, jingle bell…
A rapid ringtone rang on the phone. Hao Chenchuan still kept his eyes open. After turning on the phone, he only heard a burst of words coming from the phone: "Brother Chuan! I've got it all done here. We agreed in advance. Don't forget it." .”
"Do your job well and don't worry about anything else." Hao Chenchuan replied, then hung up the phone, keeping his eyes fixed on the direction Yao Yingjie was leaving. After a moment, he turned around and left.
…………
In the high-end villa area of Qianjiang District in Chicheng, there are many high-end villas built against the mountains. Hua Tingfei led a group of men and seemed to be exploring something on a mountain road outside the villa area.
"Team leader, the area within a radius of two thousand meters is basically covered by surveillance cameras. Based on the information provided by the family members, we have checked all the surveillance videos in the area and found no abnormalities. However, we are the only one where we are now. There is no surveillance in this small area, and there is a high probability that this is where the incident occurred."
A man wearing glasses ran from behind and reported some situations to Hua Tingfei.
Hua Tingfei frowned, and after a while, he said: "There don't seem to be any useful clues here. It's like people disappeared out of thin air... But the three nearby breath sensors did show a slight fluctuation during that period. It's impossible not to No trace is left behind... Go talk to his family and see if there are any details you haven't thought of."
"Okay, I'll ask again." After saying that, the man with glasses turned around and ran towards a villa not far away.
"Old Chen, are there any suspicious marks on the road?" Hua Tingfei turned and asked a man squatting on the cobblestone road not far behind him, carefully exploring the area next to the road.
"There are no special traces..." Lao Chen replied. But looking at his expression, Hua Tingfei seemed to have not finished what he said. Hua Tingfei asked: "What do you want to say?"
"Come here." Old Chen waved to Hua Tingfei, indicating that he should come to his place. When Hua Tingfei saw Lao Chen's behavior, he walked over with some confusion in his head.
"Hua Zhi, let me ask you a question. If you want to kidnap someone in a place like this where surveillance is all around but this area is a blind spot, and it looks like everyone has disappeared, what will you do? What to do?" Lao Chen asked after seeing Hua Tingfei coming to his side.
Hua Tingfei thought for a moment and replied: "The most direct method is to build a space teleportation array, which can directly transport the kidnapper and the kidnapped to the preset coordinate location through the array. But..."
Hua Tingfei paused and then said: "I'm afraid this method is a bit unrealistic here. First of all, the space teleportation array cannot be cast by one or two people. Secondly, to cast this array, it consumes The internal power is not small, and the nearby breath sensor cannot record just a little bit of fluctuation. Judging from the surrounding monitoring situation, there should be very few people on the other side, maybe just one or two people."
"Hua Zhi, you overlooked a special situation." Lao Chen reminded.
"I know what you want to say. If you convert the activated magic circle into a dormant state in advance, and then imprint it on a special item, when necessary, you can directly inject part of the endogenous power from the item to wake up the magic circle, but the magic circle can be turned into a dormant state. It is very difficult to write the formation into a special item. I am afraid that there are not many brave men or organizations in the entire Red Phoenix who can do it."
After hearing what Hua Tingfei said, Lao Chen casually took out a pebble-like stone and handed it to Hua Tingfei, saying that he had just picked it up nearby.
As soon as Hua Tingfei took the stone, he was suddenly shocked. Because he felt that the weight of this stone was wrong. It was obviously not the weight of the cobblestones embedded in the road. This stone is quite large, but it doesn't have much weight.
"This..." Hua Tingfei was shocked.
Lao Chen stood up and said: "I just happened to see this unique stone. Although its appearance is no different from other stones, a gust of wind blew just now. It was lying on the lawn and moved a little bit with the wind. Ordinary people can't easily The kind you can detect. A stone of this size cannot be moved by an ordinary light wind. I checked and found that it is not hollow. The weight of this stone is ridiculously light. It is definitely not an ordinary stone. It is most likely that it is …”
"This is indeed not an ordinary stone..." before Lao Chen finished speaking, Hua Tingfei interjected and used his inner power to hold up the stone. His other hand also released his inner power towards the stone. Seeing that the internal force like thunder and lightning hit the stone, the stone did not move at all. On its surface, the residual current continued to swim around, as if it was attached to it.
"You're right, this is the Ying Rune Stone, and it's still a raw stone." Hua Tingfei looked at the phenomenon in front of him and said suddenly.
When Lao Chen heard this, he said after a moment: "This means..."
"This shows that the second scenario mentioned before is very likely to be true." Hua Tingfei continued: "If this is the case, things will be a bit tricky. You must know that Ying rune stones and rune paper can be branded The special items of the formation are special consumables directly and strictly controlled by the state, and not just anyone can own them."
"But there's one thing I don't understand. If I did it, how could I leave this Ying Rune stone? Isn't this clear for the investigators to find clues?" Lao Chen thought for a moment and then said. What he said is true. Which perpetrator would leave evidence behind?
Hua Tingfei frowned slightly and said: "Maybe... this thing is not left by the perpetrator. This Ying Rune stone is now in the original stone state and has not been branded with a magic circle."
Hearing this, Lao Chen became even more confused and asked: "You mean, this is brand new and has not been used?"
Hua Tingfei confirmed: "That's right. You have used talisman paper, but you have not used Ying Rune stones. Maybe you don't know much about things related to it. After these consumables are used, the talisman paper will turn into Ashes, you know this, and although the Ying Runestone will not turn into ashes, its state will change. And this Ying Runestone does not seem to have a state change, which is enough to show that it is still an original stone."
Hua Tingfei believes that the fact that a rough talisman stone was left at the scene was most likely not the perpetrator's behavior, but that the survivor deliberately used it to give them some tips for investigators.
"Old Chen, you should go to the Ministry of National Unification immediately to check the recent discrepancy information of all branding consumables. See if you find anything."
"Okay, I'll go now."
After saying that, Lao Chen left here immediately.
"It seems that this matter must be reported to the chief. I'm afraid there are some things involved behind it..." Hua Tingfei said to himself. Because as far as he knew, there were no more than 10 people in the entire Red Phoenix who could brand the magic circle. And there seem to be only a few organizations capable of producing these special controlled products...
"It seems that we have to find a way to get him to help."
