Chapter 669: Chapter 669: I Think I Did Pretty Well Chapter 669: Chapter 669: I Think I Did Pretty Well The other six people at the scene were all variably startled.
“You mean, these five victims had disappeared before the holographic projection?”
“Yes, that’s what I believe,” Lu Mian nodded, “The fact that they went to such lengths to divert our attention this time means that the true point of disappearance they’re trying to cover up must be very significant!”
“Could it still be at the pavilion in Kunpeng High School?”
Lu Mian shook her head, ‘It shouldn’t be.”
“This is completely different from what I had in mind!”
Lu Mian provided a fresh, revolutionary train of thought that almost invalidated all their previous reasoning.
Everyone’s gaze converged on Ke Weimin, who had the most authority to speak.
In the absence of the big boss, they automatically followed the lead of this old captain.
Ke Weimin looked deeply into Lu Mian’s eyes, his gaze loaded with countless emotions.
Finally, he hummed coldly with a hint of anger.
“Alright, let’s disperse the meeting!”
The others tried to keep him from leaving a few times, but they couldn’t stop Ke Weimin’s steps.
Everyone knew that the old captain was truly angered this time.
Sun Hui, clutching his hat, chased after him, “Captain Ke, please don’t be angry!
To refute the holographic projection theory is actually quite simple.
We just need to find a witness, that’s all…”
As Ke Weimin walked briskly, he shouted back.
“Leave the task of finding a witness to Captain Wa!”
“Okay!” Wa Zhiqi promptly answered in a loud voice.
The other team members left the meeting room with their own thoughts, leaving only Lu Mian with her calm demeanor, and Wa Zhiqi with his bitter expression.
Wa Zhiqi didn’t outright reject Lu Mian’s theory, thinking that whichever the line of inquiry, finding a witness would be beneficial to the case.
But seeing Lu Mian this composed even after angering the captain, he was truly worried.
“Madam, young master, can we not be so…
straightforward in the future?
This time you really upset Captain Ke, his face even turned green!”
“Really?” Lu Mian tilted her head, oblivious to what she had done wrong.
She thought Ke Weimin seemed fine and not angry at all.
Could it be that only one voice was allowed to exist in this world, and no room was left for another?
In Wa Zhiqi’s eyes, Lu Mian’s demeanor was akin to a pig not fearing scalding water.
“Captain Ke is a senior after all.
When your ideas diverge so much, you could at least express it in a more tactful way…
Could it be, are you this straightforward with Mr.
Certainly not, right?!”
Qimo, with his background and character, wouldn’t be able to stand being treated with such cold aloofness and frankness by a girl, right?
It’d be the rhythm of a breakup within minutes.
Lu Mian reflected on herself for a moment, “I think I’ve been behaving quite well.”
While Wa Zhiqi was earnestly advising Lu Mian to apologize to Ke Weimin, someone outside called out, “Captain Ke, you’ve got a call!
Someone is looking for you!”
“Alright, I’ll be right there!”
Wa Zhiqi sighed and walked out a couple of steps, then hurriedly turned back to add, “By the way, our communication here isn’t convenient.
There is a public phone downstairs that people outside can call in on.
If you’re feeling homesick, you can give friends and family this phone number.
Of course, you can also give out your new number, but it will be closely monitored.
As long as you don’t talk about case-related things, there won’t be any problems.”
Lu Mian felt that she probably wouldn’t have anyone contacting her lately, and was happy for the peace and quiet.
After the meeting, Wang Xintong was called to Director Liang Hua’s office.
Liang Hua sat at her desk, her demeanor gentle with a hint of ingratiating, “Dr.
Please, have a seat.”
Wang Xintong didn’t stand on ceremony and confidently took a seat on the sofa.
Liang Hua inquired, “I heard that Captain Ke lost his temper?”
Wang Xintong nodded, “Not a small outburst, he was so angry he left without saying a word.”
Though he’s usually quite serious, he never loses his temper arbitrarily.
What set him off this time?”
“It’s that person named Lu Mian…
forget it, I can’t really say who’s right or wrong; everyone has the right to express their opinion.”
Liang Hua couldn’t agree; when Lu Mian chose to focus on the computer assessment, he hadn’t been very concerned.
No matter how skilled she was, she couldn’t surpass Number ThirteenaEUR”this was a fact.
“How was her performance when she went on assignments with you?”
“That…” Wang Xintong showed an expression that spoke volumes, “Pretty average.
When it was her turn to record data, she went off to use the restroom instead.
Everyone else finished, and then she came back.
She didn’t drive properly either, nearly scared Captain Wa into splitting his wound openaEUR|”
Liang Hua nodded, taking Wang Xintong’s words to heart.
After Wang Xintong left, he pulled out the list of candidates for focused assessment and heavily crossed out Lu Mian’s name.
A person like that, better not to assess at all.
Wa Zhiqi received a call from Wucheng.
It was from one of his subordinates he had sent to find the Wucheng Guardian God.
Unable to contact him on his personal number, he had left the office’s public line.
Wa Zhiqi picked up the call and immediately asked after confirming the caller’s identity, “How did it go, did you find them?”
“Captain Wa, I have already contacted Deputy Director Guo Shuitian.
But he seems very protective of the Guardian God and unwilling to disclose their identity.
I don’t think it’s appropriate to directly tell him that it’s the office here asking for the person.
That’s why I’m calling to ask for your opinion.”
“The Wucheng Guardian God has established a lot of merit, of course Director Guo will protect them, and that’s only natural.”
Director Guo’s tone seems a bit off, as if he is also afraid to say.”
Wa Zhiqi found it strange; it shouldn’t be a matter of fear.
“Talk to Director Guo again, tell him there’s a case that requires the assistance of the Guardian God, and assure him that the person will be safely returned after the case is completed.
We can’t let such outstanding talent go to waste.”
Wa Zhiqi implored earnestly, like a wolf in grandmother’s clothing luring a child.
The subordinate nodded with difficulty, “Alright, I’ll give it another try.”
“Contact me immediately if there’s any news, I’ve just taken on a case here and desperately need the help of the Guardian God!”
Finding eyewitnesses is not easy; if it were, Interpol would have made announcements long ago.
Having ended the call, Wa Zhiqi prepared to return to his room.
On the way, he bumped into the hat-wearing man, Sun Hui, who was also out making a phone call, and they greeted each other.
“Old Sun, why the long face?”
From beneath his hat, Sun Hui scratched his head, “Captain Ke asked me to analyze surveillance footage, and if it’s really as the lady mentionedaEUR”holographic projectionaEUR”he said we would definitely spot the flaws.”
Sun Hat accidentally pulled out a few strands of hair, and gazing at the falling strands, his face was the picture of utter despair.
“But I’m almost going bald, and I just can’t spot itaEUR|”
