Chapter 259 The Traitor
The old Taoist kept talking while Bai Yangfan stood aside with an expressionless face, not saying a word.
After saying this, the old Taoist looked at the little girl and was stunned for a moment: "I'm leaving, please see me off! Don't let them come in and disturb me."
Bai Yangfan still said nothing and looked at the old Taoist Hei quietly.
I saw his lips moving a few times, then his head tilted and he died.
After standing for about a minute, Bai Yangfan reached out and felt the old Taoist's carotid artery and found that he really had no vital signs.
Well, let's just go! I've said everything I need to say, and I won't get any more answers if I ask any more.
The old Taoist was very calculating. He knew that he would have a hard time in the future, so he decided to end it all.
The sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn.
Calmly walking over and opening the door, Lu Jingheng immediately came over and asked, "How is it? Did he say anything?"
"He's dead." Bai Yangfan's expression was cold and his tone was indifferent.
Then he turned and went to Zhu Houde's office.
Lu Jingheng glanced at the old Taoist lying on the hospital bed, confirmed that he was indeed dead, and then chased after Bai Yangfan.
The person is dead, so you can't ask anything.
The most urgent thing is to hear what his woman says and whether the Taoist priest can provide them with any clues.
Seeing Bai Yangfan come in, Zhu Houde stood up immediately, his eyes full of questions.
"Grandpa! The old Taoist Hei is dead."
After she finished speaking, Bai Yangfan came to the safe and recited a spell taught to her by the Taoist priest to break the barrier.
"Dead?" Lu Jingheng heard Zhu Houde's exclamation when he came in. "How could he be dead? Did he say anything?"
"Yes." Bai Yangfan sat down, his voice calm, "He said he was inspired by a woman named Alan from the Elephant Country in Southeast Asia to come to Kyoto to steal this safe. Alan is the leader of the Alanweng tribe, a ruthless woman.
The only important clue was that there was a traitor inside the institute. That night, someone knocked the guard unconscious and opened the door to the safe. When he finished the ritual, the door locked again, and the guard woke up naturally.
"What? There's a traitor in the research institute?" Zhu Houde fidgeted uncomfortably, his face grim. "Did he tell me who the traitor was? What's his name? What does he look like?"
"No, he didn't say that." Bai Yangfan shook his head. "He just said there was a traitor in the research institute, and that he had contact with Alan from the Elephant Country. He didn't say anything else."
Lu Jingheng, who remained silent, habitually rested his elbow with one hand and his chin with the other: "Is there a mole in the institute? This ranges widely. From researchers to floor sweepers and odd jobs, everyone should be a suspect.
This traitor might be hard to catch. The research institute is a special place, and we can't stay there for a long time. It will affect their research work, cause psychological pressure on the people in the institute, delay the work process, and hinder national affairs."
Zhang Yong, Bai Han, Fei Wen and Xu Keshan who were standing on the side all tacitly did not express their opinions, and listened quietly to the conversation between the boss, Xiaobai, and the old man.
This case is quite bizarre. The person who stole the safe was a Taoist priest, who is now dead. The mastermind was a woman from the Elephant Country. The mountains are high and the roads are long, and they don't know the country well. It's impossible for them to go abroad to bring her back for interrogation.
The only thing they were thankful for was that the safe was still there and was retrieved without any damage, so they could return it to the institute safely.
As for the traitor, he must have already fled! He couldn't have just been hiding in the research institute waiting to be caught.
After much thought, I think this case can be said to have come to an end.
We can stop here and close the case.
"We can't give up." Bai Yangfan said to Lu Jingheng, but his eyes were always on Zhu Houde. "We still have to find a way to find that traitor, otherwise he will repeatedly contact illegal organizations abroad and cause immeasurable losses to the institute. No matter how difficult it is to catch him, we have to find a way to catch him. Now that we have a clue, we have to finish the job."
After walking around the office for a few times with his hands behind his back, Zhu Houde sat down and looked at the girl in front of him earnestly: "Yang Fan! Your suggestion is very good, but the mole in the institute really cannot be touched for the time being.
The contents of the safe have been taken out, but the performance is still unstable. Scientists are working hard to find ways to stabilize its performance within a controllable range.
"This is a critical moment. If we actually send people to the institute, I'm afraid it will cause panic among the researchers and delay the research process. You know what's inside, and our country needs it."
Zhang Yong sighed silently. "Xiaobai! It's not that we don't do many things, but there are some unavoidable reasons. Compared with catching the traitor and the work of the researchers, the latter is more important."
Bai Han was afraid that Bai Yangfan would feel resistance, so he quickly comforted him, "You've already made great efforts this time. If it weren't for you, the safe wouldn't have been recovered so smoothly. Thank you, Xiaobai!"
Looking at Xiaobai, who was frowning, Feiwen also advised: "We have successfully completed the mission by retrieving the important safe in such a short time. Xiaobai, you don't need to blame yourself for not catching the traitor."
Xu Keshan: "Yes! Xiaobai is the most capable member of our team. Without her, we would not have been able to find the Taoist priest and complete the mission."
Bai Yangfan scanned everyone's faces and could hear their words of comfort. They probably wanted to find the traitor, but for some irresistible reason, they had to give up the opportunity.
According to the current national conditions, science and technology is indeed in a budding stage of development and requires the protection of all parties in order to reap rich rewards in the future.
It would be unwise to uproot a sapling just because you can't deal with a damn little bug.
"Okay! I'll follow Grandpa's instructions. If we don't catch the traitor, this case will end here." Bai Yangfan rubbed his brow and pointed at the safe. "I've already dealt with the barrier. You can move it freely."
"Thank you!" Zhu Houde stood up and saluted Bai Yangfan. "Grandpa, thank you for everything you have done for the team and for me."
As soon as he saluted, Lu Jingheng, Zhang Yong and others also stood at attention and saluted Bai Yangfan together.
She was at a loss as to what to do: "Grandpa! Lu Jingheng! What...what are you doing?"
"You deserve it." Zhu Houde's eyes were red and his voice was hoarse. "Child! You don't know how difficult this task is for us. You don't know how important the things in this safe are to our country. The ministry has issued a death order to retrieve it at all costs.
Lu Jingheng, Zhang Yong, and colleagues from other departments used all sorts of methods, but in the end, they found nothing. But you came and found it in just a day or two. You have no idea how excited Grandpa was.
