A team member immediately went to pick the lock, but although the lock looked old, it was not so easy to open.
Captain Zhao ordered his team to fire a shot, which broke the lock.
Captain Zhao opened the box and exclaimed, "What do you mean? It's just a box of New Year's pictures. Why was it locked up so tightly?"
It wasn't anything valuable, so nobody thought much of it.
I've been out for so long tonight, mission accomplished, time to go back and report.
So the police took away the red lacquered box and some other items.
Because of the regulations, everything had to be kept secret, and these items did not need to be taken back to the police station.
Captain Zhao knew that Vice Mayor Kang was in charge of these matters, so he ordered his subordinates to move all the items to the government building, and that would complete their work for the day.
Late at night, Xiaoxi went to explore Yao Tai's villa alone again, but naturally found nothing.
The matter of the fox demon has now come to a complete end.
Soon after, Yao Tai's disappearance made the news. Several other young wealthy men or playboys in Shanghai also went missing, and the remains of a female college student were found at Shenyang University.
Strangely, the girl was seen at the university not long ago. Although she only disappeared a few days ago, the remains clearly indicate that she died two or three months ago. It doesn't make sense.
However, all of these cases became unsolved and were ultimately left unresolved.
Office of the Deputy Mayor's Secretary in the Shanghai Municipal Government Building.
Xiaoxi knocked on the door and went inside.
The deputy mayor's secretary looked up at Xiaoxi in surprise, then took Xiaoxi's tag and verified it repeatedly.
The head of a secret department is a young girl? There are so many outstanding talents within the system, how come it's not a young girl's turn?
Besides, what secret department? It's more like a peripheral department, isn't it?
Xiao Xi explained her purpose for coming: she wanted to see Vice Mayor Kang.
"Do you have an appointment? Vice Mayor Kang is in a meeting. You can tell me what you need to say first," the secretary said indifferently.
Xiaoxi knew she was destined to make a wasted trip, but she still said, "I want to see Vice Mayor Kang and see Mrs. Yao's things."
The secretary replied casually, "Yes, I understand. I will pass it on."
This was clearly a perfunctory attitude. Xiaoxi wanted to twist the secretary's head off; this attitude was infuriating.
If Yan Weimin hadn't gone abroad, would we have bothered dealing with you little minions?
Never mind, it's the same as waiting a few more days to check.
Shortly after Xiaoxi left the secretary's office, Vice Mayor Kang came out after finishing his meeting.
The secretary initially didn't want to relay that Xiaoxi had come to see Vice Mayor Kang, but guessed: what if she, a young girl, is a minister and has powerful connections?
He still reported it to Vice Mayor Kang.
Vice Mayor Kang, holding a teacup, said: "This young lady from the secret department, I think I heard a high-ranking leader mention her. She holds a high position, and you have to give her the green light in everything."
Look how capable she is, she came straight here without even making an appointment.
However, it must be quite remarkable to be able to connect with a high-ranking leader.
So Vice Mayor Kang said to his secretary, "Next time the young lady comes, just take her to see Mrs. Yao's things."
By the way, where are the things we took from Mrs. Yao's villa that night?
He was put in charge by his superiors to cover up the disappearance of Yao Tai and her daughter. He hadn't paid much attention to Yao Tai's disappearance case yet.
Since a young woman from a secret department had come knocking on his door, and he wondered what she was capable of, Vice Mayor Kang couldn't help but feel curious about these things.
The secretary respectfully led Vice Mayor Kang to a set of temporary prefabricated houses behind the building.
Mrs. Yao's belongings are all piled up in the prefabricated house. It seems that even after the boxes were moved here, they were not taken seriously.
The secretary took out the key and opened the door.
Vice Mayor Kang told his secretary to wait outside, as it was too crowded inside, so he just looked around casually.
In the dim light inside the prefabricated house, suddenly, the red wooden crate caught his eye.
