Start a mysterious island

In the noisy and chaotic crowd, Zhang Zhao saw the investigator leave. His tense nerves instantly relaxed and he let out a long sigh of relief.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Su Yue and hurriedly turned to look at the place where Su Yue had originally stood, but there was no one there.

Zhang Zhao was extremely anxious. He shuttled back and forth in the crowd, staring wide-eyed and searching carefully, not missing any corner, but in the end he still couldn't find any trace of Su Yue.

Helplessly, he had to give up the search, hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, and ran towards the car parked on the opposite side of the street.

He opened the passenger door and sat in, only to see Muchi staring straight ahead with a gloomy face.

"Do you know where that woman went?" Zhang Zhao asked anxiously.

Mu Qi replied in a muffled voice, "She just left."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhao was so angry that he slapped his thigh and cursed, "It's all that bastard's fault. If he hadn't knocked me away, I would have succeeded a long time ago."

Mu Qi raised his hand helplessly and rubbed his eyebrows. Faced with this situation, he didn't know what to say.

He saw everything that had just happened, so he really couldn't blame his companions.

Who could have expected that just when the plan was about to be completed, an accident would suddenly occur, directly knocking people away and ruining everything.

Zhang Zhao asked again, "I couldn't leave just now. Since you saw that woman riding away on the electric bike, why didn't you chase her?"

Mu Qi silently raised his finger and pointed forward. Zhang Zhao looked in the direction he pointed and soon saw several security guards.

"They are just a few security guards, not investigators. What is there to be afraid of?" Zhang Zhao said nonchalantly.

Mu Qi explained, "There was an investigator in front of me just now. I saw him, so I didn't dare to drive after the woman."

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he was like a deflated ball. He leaned back and stared at the roof of the car with a dull look. He muttered weakly, "We waited all day today, but in the end we failed. Our luck is too bad!"

Mucci echoed, "Yeah, that's unlucky."

But after saying this, he felt that sighing like this would have a bad effect on morale, so he hastened to add.

“But a temporary failure doesn’t mean you’ll be so unlucky in the future.

The security guard ahead was still guarding the intersection, apparently having received some orders.

Faced with this situation, Mu Qi and Zhang Zhao decided not to take the risk and instead turned around and left in another direction.

Although they have certain strength and are not afraid of security guards, they are afraid of being targeted by security guards. If investigators are attracted, it will be a big trouble. It is better to be careful.

Going in the other direction may require a detour, but it is safer.

The car started slowly and drove towards the suburbs, soon leaving the bustling city.

Suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket rang. The clear ringtone was particularly loud in the car and immediately attracted the attention of both of them.

Mu Qi took out his cell phone and saw that the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. He knew it was a call from his contact, so he held the steering wheel steadily with his left hand and picked up the phone with his right hand to answer the call.

"Are you all right?" As soon as the call was connected, the contact's concerned voice came over.

Mu Qi responded with a smile, "Don't worry, we are safe. We have escaped the investigators' pursuit. There will be no problems in the short term."

The contact heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I received news not long ago that the place where you live has been discovered by investigators. They have set up a dragnet to catch you. I was really shocked."

Mu Qi replied, "When we first learned about this, we were also very scared, but fortunately we managed to escape danger in the end."

The contact person continued, "The person who tipped you off was a secret undercover agent of our organization planted in Rongcheng."

Mu Qi smiled and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I can probably guess his identity."

After a brief chat, the contact changed his tone and talked about something important, "I called you to make sure you were safe, and to give you a mission."

When Mu Qi heard this, his brows immediately frowned and he said, "Why is there another mission?"

The contact person explained apologetically, "Now our organization is almost out of manpower in Rongcheng, and the secret undercover cannot be used unless it is a critical moment, so now we can only rely on the two of you to carry out the new mission."

Although Mu Qi was depressed, it was difficult to refuse since things had come to this point, so he could only say uninterestedly, "Okay, tell me, what is the mission this time?"

The contact person said, "This task is quite simple and will be completed in a short time."

Mu Qi said nothing and just listened quietly.

The contact person continued, "There is something buried in the wilderness. Go dig it out."

After hearing this, Mu Qi was very curious and asked, "What is it?"

The contact replied, “It’s a metal box, and I don’t know what’s inside it.

This mission was assigned by the higher-ups. Just dig out the things and bring them back safely."

Mu Qi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, please send me the specific burial location.

When it gets dark, we'll find a time to dig."

After that, he hurriedly asked, "Is that place far from the safe zone? If it's too far, it won't be easy for us to go deep into the wilderness after dark."

The contact smiled and reassured, "Don't worry, the burial site is not far from the safe zone.

If it were deep in the wilderness, I wouldn’t call it an easy task either.”

Mu Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

After the contact person explained the new task, the two chatted briefly and then hung up the phone.

Zhang Zhao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, saw his companion finish the call and couldn't help complaining, "This is endless. How can you keep ordering people around like this?"

Mu Qi looked at his companions who were full of resentment and said helplessly, "Our organization's strength here is almost gone. Apart from us, no one else can do this task."

Zhang Zhao then complained, "That can't be the case. Sending tasks one after another, do you think we are made of iron?

Even if we can hold on physically, the current situation in the city is too unfavorable for us.

We might run into the investigators while on a mission, and it would be difficult for us to escape unscathed."

Muchi listened to his companions' complaints and occasionally echoed them.

Although the two were very dissatisfied with the organization's successive assignments, they could only complain in private.

No matter how much you complain, you still have to do the tasks that need to be done.

Fortunately, this mission seems relatively simple and should not be difficult for them to complete.

At this moment, the phone vibrated and issued a crisp reminder tone. Mu Qi picked up the phone and saw that it was a text message from the contact, which contained the buried coordinates of the mission item.

Zhang Zhao came over and asked, "Is it really like he said, very close to the safe zone?"

Mu Qi smiled and said, "It's only four or five kilometers away, it's really close.

When it gets dark, we can find a time to run there and come back soon. "

The two agreed on the departure time, and the car suddenly accelerated and sped towards the dinner place.

…………

In a quiet and secluded alley, a man in a baseball cap was running desperately. He looked so panicked, as if a ferocious beast was chasing him.

"If you don't stop, I will be rude!"

Liu Jialin had a stern look on her face and was chasing closely behind.

Although she was stronger than the man, the man had the ability of speed, so it was quite difficult for her to catch up with him.

The man was so frightened when he heard the shouting behind him that he trembled all over. He thought he had shaken off the pursuer, but he didn't expect the other party to keep holding on so closely.

The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but glance back.

Seeing that Liu Jialin was still dozens of meters away from him, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, at this distance, no matter how powerful you are, you can't catch me.

But as soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I was slapped in the face by reality the next second.

He was tripped by something and lost his balance instantly, falling forward.

Because he was running too fast, the huge inertia when he fell caused him to roll on the ground.

Accompanied by a painful scream, the man fell to the ground in a mess, his head was broken and bleeding, and he looked very miserable.

Zhang Xiao hurried to the man, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a sneer, "Run, why don't you run?"

At this point, the man who fell was in so much pain that he had no strength to run anymore.

Liu Jialin also arrived soon after.

Zhang Xiao turned to look at Liu Jialin and asked expectantly, "Captain, how did I do this time?"

Liu Jialin smiled and praised, "Well done!"

Afterwards, the two men quickly handcuffed the man and began to question him.

But the man kept his mouth shut, saying nothing, and looked as if he was determined to fight to the end.

Liu Jialin and Zhang Xiao have seen this kind of situation many times. Since the man is not cooperating, they will take him back to the police station and interrogate him slowly.

When they escorted the man out of the alley, it was already completely dark.

The street lights lit up one by one, and the dim light sprinkled on the road, illuminating the way forward for passing vehicles.

"Captain, I'll drive the car over. Please wait here for a while."

After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Only Liu Jialin and the suspect were left at the scene, and there was silence all around.

There were a few passers-by passing by not far away. Seeing the investigators handling the case, they looked over here curiously and pointed at the suspect.

At this moment, the suspect suddenly said, "I didn't steal the things that were stolen from that store."

Liu Jialin originally thought that the man would resist for a long time before confessing, but she was very surprised when she heard this.

"It really has nothing to do with me, let me go." The suspect said anxiously again.

Liu Jialin shook her head and said seriously, "If it's not you, then why are you running away? I can't let you go unless you explain everything clearly."

The suspect looked gloomy. After being silent for more than ten seconds, he slowly said, "I know who stole it, but I can't tell you."

Liu Jialin pressed on, "Are you afraid of retaliation if you speak out?"

The suspect nodded slightly.

Liu Jialin expressed her understanding for the suspect's concerns. After all, she has been working in this industry for so many years and has encountered similar situations in many of the cases she has handled.

After thinking for a moment, she said gently, "I understand your concerns."

When the suspect heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he thought Liu Jialin would let him go.

But Liu Jialin's next words made him feel conflicted.

"Tell me everything you know, and I promise not to tell anyone else. No one will know that it was you who leaked the information.

When the case is over, we will give you a reward based on the clues you provide."

"How much is the prize?" the suspect finally couldn't help asking.

Seeing that the other party had taken the bait, Liu Jialin raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and replied, "No less than 30,000 yuan."

The suspect's eyes flickered, and the amount obviously made him excited.

Seeing this, Liu Jialin was secretly delighted, knowing that this matter had potential, so she waited patiently for the suspect to confess.

Just then, Zhang Xiao drove slowly towards them from a distance.

When she saw that both Liu Jialin and the suspect had smiles on their faces, she was stunned at first, then she realized what was going on and also smiled with relief.

“Crack.”

The car stopped at the side of the road, the door opened, and Liu Jialin and the suspect got in.

At this time, the suspect was very cooperative. He had just discussed with Liu Jialin and decided to follow Liu Jialin back to the Superpower Management Bureau and leave after giving his statement.

The car started, Zhang Xiao turned the steering wheel, turned around and started returning to the Superpower Management Bureau.

On the road, the light from the street lamps shone through the car window and fell on the passenger seat.

Liu Jialin raised her hand to tidy up the hair hanging by her ears. She took out her cell phone from her pocket and reported some of the things the suspect had confessed.

“Ding Dong.”

The phone received a message, which appeared at the top of the screen.

Liu Jialin had just reported what the suspect had confessed. After reading the text message she received, she immediately opened the call log and dialed the number.

“Beep, beep, beep.”

The phone rang a few times and the other party quickly answered the call.

"Where are you now?" Liu Jialin asked.

"I'm at the bar." The voice coming from the phone was a little soft. The person who answered the phone must be worried about being discovered.

"Are they going to act tonight?"

"Yes, according to what I have learned, the action will begin after dark."

"What time exactly?"

"I'm not sure about that. I asked around, but no one knows."

"Okay, I understand. Be careful."

"Well, that's it for now. If the situation changes, I'll text you later."
