Chapter 66
Yan Tingyu's mood sank as the pile of documents piled up.
However, thinking about how dedicated Lele was to his job, he didn't want to fall behind.
It would just be nice if Lele could work in the same place as him.
They had agreed before and continued to fight and cheer each other on.
Yan Tingyu sighed, thought about it, and his mood gradually improved.
Looking at the work report of Area A, Yan Tingyu looked relaxed. Now they were fighting side by side.
At this moment, Ji Yile was walking on the street with Zhong Wenxu, arm in arm.
Oh no, go on patrol.
Holding a cup of cheerful persimmon smoothie in hand, he walked back and forth in the area where the crime was most frequent.
They came here because they heard that there were frequent thefts here.
The thieves were very professional and avoided all surveillance cameras. At the same time, they committed the crime in places where the security guards could not see them.
The residents whose items were stolen did not notice it at the time. They only discovered that they were missing when they returned home or needed their wallets, mobile phones, etc.
According to everyone's recollection, it disappeared probably at the location where they were patrolling.
It's not that there is no surveillance here, but it was blocked when the thief was committing the crime.
It wasn't blocked, but when the thief committed the crime, the screen would be switched. The colleagues in the monitoring room didn't notice that there was anything wrong with the screen.
They also went to the monitoring room for real-time surveillance, and the residents' things were still stolen. Even with so many people and so many eyes, they really didn't notice it at the time.
This is probably the thief's innate ability.
"[Whatever you think], I guess it's this innate ability. But..." Zhong Wenxu was a little entangled, "There's always something weird about this innate ability. I don't need money at all. Is it necessary to steal?"
The stolen items were not expensive. Apart from a gem, the rest were just some change, a broken cell phone, etc.
Ji Yile replied: "Or is this his hobby?"
"That's quite scary," said Zhong Wenxu.
However, they were walking around that day, carrying a lot of funds provided by the Security Department, but no one came to steal them.
The two were tired from walking and stood under the shade of a tree to rest.
Ji Yile was drinking and playing with his phone.
A gentle breeze blew, rustling the branches of the green trees. Occasionally, a leaf or two fell and landed on Ji Yile's clothes.
Then, when he wanted to take another sip of the persimmon smoothie, he found that the persimmon smoothie in his hand was gone.
"Where's my cup?" The first thing he did was to look down at the ground.
Zhong Wenxu paused and said in surprise, "No way?"
Ji Yile was a little dazed, "No way?"
However, the persimmon smoothie that disappeared from his hand happened to be a stolen evidence.
Ji Yile roared, "Little thief, give me back my persimmon shaved ice!"
That was the smoothie they both waited in line for half an hour for!
Zhong Wenxu grabbed Ji Yile and said, "I know where it is?"
Ji Yile said: "I smelled it, that perfume! I thought it was the smell of a big tree, but it turned out to be the smell of a thief! My sense of smell is really good, follow me!"
The two ran towards the bottom of the bridge in front of them. There was a small river under the bridge, and there was a lot of garbage and debris piled under the bridge.
There are often homeless people staying overnight there, and the field team staff spend a lot of time driving them away.
Area A is so large and there are many vacant houses, but there are some weird people who like to be homeless.
They don't understand and don't want to respect, so they expel them.
Because these homeless people have been causing trouble for a long time, and even many murders have occurred.
This bridge is a key patrol location, but I didn’t expect the thief to be one of the patrollers here.
When we chased to the bottom of the bridge, the smell disappeared.
Ji Yile wrinkled his nose and said sullenly, "Damn it."
"Even if you get it back, you can't drink it!" said Zhong Wenxu.
This consolation is worse than no consolation!
"I won't give in!" Ji Yile said, clenching his fists.
He stood on tiptoe and looked out, and saw people constantly escaping from under the bridge.
They were all ragged people carrying sacks on their backs.
He looked at the two of them in panic and fear, then ran in the opposite direction, fearing that Ji Yile and the others would catch them and take them back.
Ji Yile suddenly asked, "Do you think the [Scavenger] will be here?"
"Ah?" Zhong Wenxu was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head, "[Scavenger], he wouldn't be here, right?"
Ji Yile took out his notebook and said, "It's hard to say. After all, [Scavenger] is not a very high-end ghost."
Zhong Wenxu shook his head, "I don't agree with what you said."
Ji Yile shrugged. "Before in the dormitory, you weren't woken up by him in the middle of the night? He often wanders around downstairs and makes noise."
Zhong Wenxu touched his nose and said, "I really didn't know about this. The main thing is that the [Scavenger] has a stolen talent that can let anyone who knows it know it."
Ji Yile nodded, and suddenly, the two of them fell silent and looked at each other. Then, they both said loudly at the same time: "Scavenger!"
They immediately ran under the bridge, and while they were running, someone from the security department contacted them.
"The thief has been caught."
"What? You caught the [Scavenger]?" Zhong Wenxu was a little confused.
The other party was even more confused. "What are you talking about? We have already caught the weird one of [What the Heart Desires], and it has already admitted its crime."
But Zhong Wenxu and Ji Yile both found it unbelievable, "It's a bit weird."
Standing next to the garbage dump, Ji Yile, who had a keen sense of smell, smelled many odors similar to the stench of rotting corpses.
Zhong Wenxu also smelled it, and both of them had very ugly expressions.
Zhong Wenxu immediately told the security department: "Send a few people from the field team over here right away."
[The scavengers] didn't find any, but they did find several bodies.
Even without testing, it was clear that they all came from the weird. The origin had been dissected, and the power in the weird had been drained.
Ji Yile said coldly: "It must have been done by the [Scavengers]."
Zhong Wenxu frowned slightly, "But why should [Heart's Desire] take the blame?"
"I don't know." Ji Yile shook his head.
After searching around the bottom of the bridge and the surrounding area, they still couldn't find the [Scavenger], so Ji Yile and his friends had to return home.
The garbage and debris under the bridge were also cleared away by them at once.
Ji Yile nodded, "I think the prisoners in the Red Blood Prison have been a little idle recently."
Zhong Wenxu asked doubtfully: "Then what do you want?"
Ji Yile glanced at him and said, "You didn't go in at that time, nor did you observe Building 1 of [Huagui Royal Mansion]. In fact, the Red Blood Prison can be covered there."
"So?" Zhong Wenxu just wanted to hear the result in one go.
"So! Actually, I can release the Red Blood Prison, and then cover the place that needs to be cleaned or renovated, so that the prisoners inside can get some fresh air, complete the task by the way, and then go back to the cell to rest. Anyway, they can't escape no matter what. The truth and the reality are intertwined. If they really escape, then they can be executed directly."
Zhong Wenxu was a little worried, "Can you handle it?"
Ji Yile nodded, "I think it's okay. Anyway, there aren't many prisoners in the Red Blood Prison right now, so we can manage it."
Zhong Wenxu said: "Of course, we can, but we need to discuss it first."
"Um!"
The restricted area has achieved initial results. Ji Yile thought that places like the bottom of bridges and underpasses should also be cleaned up. We must not give the "scavengers" a place to hide.
When Feng Junan was interrogating [Heart's Desire], he also felt that things were going too smoothly. [Heart's Desire] was called Steel Plate, with a petite and agile figure, an ordinary appearance, the kind that people forget as soon as they see him, and a very low sense of existence.
The reason we were able to catch Gangban today was because he deliberately exposed his flaws and was then caught by the field team.
Why do this?
The steel plate replied: "It has offended too many ghosts, and it is afraid of being torn apart."
Then the steel plate can tell every detail of the theft from the previous owner, and no matter how you look at it, it was stolen by it.
However, Feng Jun'an just felt something was wrong.
When Ji Yile and the others came back to report, Feng Jun'an felt even more uncomfortable.
"I think that those who reported the theft were indeed stolen by the steel plate."
Feng Junan raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
Ji Yile also came up with a general idea, "My persimmon smoothie must have been taken away by the [Scavenger], but I don't know why he deliberately let me notice it. I suspect there is a conspiracy to deliberately divert our attention."
He frowned, "What is hiding over there that we don't know about?"
The bodies under the bridge were brought back, but due to the lack of a lot of information, they were unable to find out the true identity of the bodies for a while.
While cleaning up the garbage, they also found a lot of ID cards and some personal belongings, which they brought back because they were worried they might be useful later.
As for those homeless people who ran away when they first saw them, the field team is still chasing them.
Feng Junan stroked his chin with one hand. "According to what you said, you suspect that the [Scavengers] deliberately led you away."
Ji Yile nodded. "We are standing under the shade of the tree. Could it be that the big tree is hiding some unspeakable secret?"
Zhong Wenxu said, "That's impossible. It's just an ordinary tree. When I came to Area A, the tree was there. If there was something important, shouldn't it have been taken away long ago? Why wait until today?"
Ji Yile continued to ask: "By the way, where should we put this steel plate when the time comes?"
Feng Junan replied: "The director wants to put it in the Red Blood Prison. What do you think?"
Ji Yile was silent for a moment, "I find it very strange, what is the purpose of [Scavengers]?"
Before, when he and the [Scavenger] looked at each other, he scared the [Scavenger] so much that he ran away.
Zhong Wenxu said immediately, "I think we should just throw it into the restricted area. Why put it in the Red Blood Prison? It's just a good thief. Although its crime is far different from that of the prisoners in the restricted area, letting it work hard in there can also help it correct its thoughts and behavior and stop it from thinking about getting something for nothing all day long."
Ji Yile agreed, "I'm not sure whether it's him or the Scavenger who can change everyone's perception and what they see. I think the suppression circle needs to be improved before he wears it."
