Zhu Qing confesses
After hanging up the phone, Minister Ji immediately called Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing was still in school at that time. He had just finished class when he received a call from his mother and his heart skipped a beat.
"Xiaoqing, did you buy vegetables at that 'delicious vegetable store'?" Minister Ji asked directly.
Zhu Qing's cheeks felt slightly hot. She didn't expect her mother to know so soon.
"Um... yes, Mom." She stammered, her mind racing with excuses. "The food is in the dormitory. I've already eaten some."
She subconsciously didn't want her mother to know about Zhao Wenxuan.
Minister Ji felt something was wrong when he heard his daughter's tone.
She knew Zhu Qing. She was not the kind of person who would spend money recklessly. Why would she suddenly spend a huge amount of money on such exorbitantly priced vegetables?
"The food is in the dormitory? That won't do. Bring the food home so I can see what delicious food it is and eat it together in the evening." Minister Ji felt that his daughter was lying.
Zhu Qing groaned in her heart. She didn't dare to disobey her mother, so she could only bite the bullet and send a message to Zhao Wenxuan, asking if he could share some vegetables with her, as she also wanted to try them.
When Zhao Wenxuan received the message, he was unhappy, but in order not to arouse suspicion, he pretended to be generous and gave a part of it to Zhu Qing.
In the evening, Zhu Qing returned home with the vegetables.
As soon as Minister Ji saw his daughter coming back with the box, he asked her to take out the vegetables.
She had previously asked Qiao Jianmin for a screenshot of the order and knew clearly that Zhu Qing had ordered ten kilograms.
However, when she saw the vegetables Zhu Qing brought back, her heart sank. The amount was nowhere near ten kilograms.
"Xiaoqing, didn't you buy ten kilograms? Why is it only this much?" Minister Ji looked at Zhu Qing and asked.
Zhu Qing lowered his head guiltily and stammered, "I... I shared some with my roommates so we can all have a try."
"Distribute it to roommates? How can you distribute so much at once? Give me their contact information so I can call them and ask." Minister Ji pressed on.
Zhu Qing knew she couldn't hide it anymore. She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, her voice as low as a mosquito's buzz: "Mom, I... I didn't give it to my roommate. I... I bought it for a classmate."
Minister Ji's expression changed, and he stared at Zhu Qing: "Who did you buy it for? Who? Why can't you buy it yourself?"
Zhu Qing's eyes were slightly red. "It's Zhao Wenxuan, he's an exchange student from Country M. He said there's a problem with his account and he can't buy it."
"An exchange student from Country M?!" Minister Ji stood up suddenly, his face no longer able to remain calm.
The first thing that came to her mind was the Li Qiang incident and the international community's eagerness to target the YX factor.
An exchange student from Country M was forced to buy this special vegetable, and she couldn't even buy it herself. The trick behind it all made her feel cold.
Minister Ji didn't bother to scold his daughter. He immediately called Qiao Jianmin and told him everything Zhu Qing had said. His tone was more serious than ever before. "Old Qiao, my daughter said she bought vegetables for an exchange student from Country M. His name is Zhao Wenxuan!"
Qiao Jianmin was shocked when he heard this.
He immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. This was not just a simple matter of helping with the purchase!
He immediately ordered the security department to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Zhao Wenxuan, including all his whereabouts in Shangjing, especially his whereabouts after getting the vegetables.
The security department was extremely efficient and quickly tracked down Zhao Wenxuan.
Surveillance footage showed that after Zhao Wenxuan received the vegetables, he did not send them out directly. Instead, he casually threw a box on the side of the road on a secluded road near Shangjing University, as if he was throwing away garbage.
A few minutes later, a foreigner came over and picked up the box. His movements were very natural, as if he was just passing by.
Investigators quickly identified the foreigner and discovered that he had purchased a ticket for an international flight to Country M at 8:39 tonight.
At this time, there was less than an hour left before the plane took off, and he should be about to board the plane.
There is a surge of people at Shanghai International Airport.
After Zhou Zhenguo issued the order, all the elite forces of the security department were lurking in place.
They disguised themselves as ordinary passengers, airport staff, cleaners, etc. and were scattered throughout the airport.
Qiao Jianmin was in charge of the temporary command center near the airport, and the screens were transmitting surveillance images from all over the airport in real time.
No one escaped the analysts' eyes. The atmosphere in the entire center was solemn, and everyone was aware of the importance of this mission.
The target person appeared!
He was a man in his forties, wearing a casual jacket and a baseball cap, and was not conspicuous in the crowd.
He walked hurriedly, his eyes alert, and scanned the surroundings from time to time. It was obvious that he had certain anti-reconnaissance capabilities.
He was carrying a mountaineering backpack, and the box of vegetables was checked in.
"The target has passed security and is heading to the boarding gate." A report came from the command center.
"Confirm the checked luggage," Qiao Jianmin ordered solemnly. "Action team, prepare. Make sure to control the target and seize the box before boarding."
Inside the airport, several personnel disguised as ground staff received instructions.
They adjusted their position to get closer to the gate area where their target was located.
At the same time, another group of personnel responsible for luggage tracking has also locked the target checked box in the check-in system.
The target man sat down in front of the boarding gate. He seemed relaxed, but his fingers were tapping on his knees unconsciously, and he was obviously very anxious.
When the boarding announcement sounded, he stood up and prepared to line up.
Just then, an accident happened.
An "airport staff" accidentally bumped into the luggage next to him when passing by him, and a cardboard box on the luggage fell off.
The man subconsciously stopped and looked over.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, two people disguised as passengers quickly approached.
One person approached him and asked him in a friendly manner if he needed help, trying to distract him. The other person, approaching, pressed a certain acupoint on his waist.
The man felt his whole body go numb and he fell down.
The whole process took only two or three seconds, so fast that the passengers around did not have time to notice what was happening.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" the person pretending to be a passenger exclaimed, and another "airport staff" quickly stepped forward.
"It could be hypoglycemia, or physical discomfort." The "airport medical staff" arrived at the right time and cooperated with the acting.
"Quick, take him to the infirmary!" They worked together to lift the man up and quickly took him away from the boarding gate area.
Their movements were natural, as if they were simply helping a passenger who had suddenly fallen ill.
The passengers around took a look but did not become suspicious and continued to queue.
At the same time, in the luggage sorting area, the box was intercepted in the name of "routine inspection" and sent to a secret location by a special person.
The arrest operation was clean and efficient, without causing any disturbance, and Zhao Wenxuan did not receive any abnormal signals.
The man was taken to a secret interrogation point outside the airport.
This place is heavily guarded and completely isolated from the outside world.
