Chapter 102 Wanted Criminal Simulator
As Wednesday approached, the number of cases at the Security Bureau suddenly increased.
They were all trivial matters, which were not difficult to handle but wasted a lot of time and manpower. The entire Security Bureau was miserable and full of resentment, so they simply hung a sign at the door, stating that there were too many things to do these days and they had to give up and deal with them when they had free time.
Most of their manpower is still hanging around their superiors. Compared to the two-man pursuit team who sneaked out ahead of time, the Security Bureau did not have the information source named by Ji Xu, and they were fooled by their own director with a few words. They had already assumed that Ji Xu's action was a foregone conclusion, and they did not forget to make defensive measures such as traffic planning and sniper long-range protection every day.
But as the saying goes, you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.
Not to mention that Ji Xu is the wanted criminal who should be hiding.
Many people in the Security Bureau gritted their teeth and endured the humiliation. They hadn't received any notice from Ji Xu to take action for several days in a row. Their vigilance had not been worn down, and their desire to attack had become even stronger. Except for the beginning, they kept adding to the original plan in the following days, reversing their initial defensive stance. They wanted to take the initiative to arrest Ji Xu, or even more simply, kill him on the spot.
"Who has time? Check the traffic lights on Linning Street." The person in charge of assigning tasks at the computer said, "There seems to be a problem with the countdown of the traffic lights there. A few days ago, many cases of scratches and disputes were caused by this."
Hearing the key words, He Xia asked with a serious face: "Please speak more carefully."
However, because he usually likes to have a gloomy face, and as one of the main persons in charge of arresting Ji Xu, He Xia has been extremely busy recently, and no one doubts the aggressiveness of his tone.
"Tomorrow is the day when Deputy Director Fang will attend a meeting. He will pass by Linning Street during the meeting." The man even thought that He Xia didn't understand, and explained enthusiastically without knowing anything, "We have to do a traffic drill today, and we found that the countdown of several traffic lights is always wrong... By the way, He Xia, do you want to take a look?"
He Xia had a gloomy face after hearing the previous part of the story, but when he heard the last question, his brain froze for a moment and he blurted out subconsciously: "Why me?"
The man: "Uh, because you asked? I thought you were interested."
At that moment, it was as if lightning flashed through my brain.
He Xia suddenly understood Ji Xu's actions. In the entire Security Bureau, only he and Yu Ke knew what this location represented - maybe there was also a third person that Yu Ke was muttering about, but the other party would definitely not care about trivial matters such as traffic light countdowns and traffic jams.
Ji Xu was not afraid that the two of them would deliberately ignore the note, because he would use various methods, either obscure or clear, like a spider weaving a web, reminding from a distance the prey stuck in the middle not to forget to continue its futile but hopeless struggle.
The person in front of the computer was wondering: "So do you want to go or not? If not, I will assign it to someone else."
He Xia guessed that the other party must be muttering to himself in his heart, asking so many questions over and over again when he was obviously not interested. He refused to run errands in a stiff tone, and only one sentence echoed in his mind: Ji Xu did it on purpose.
He entered the office, woke up Yu Ke who was taking a nap in the chair, and told her about his experience outside.
Yu Ke took the book off his face. Before he could even get mad at waking up, he was frightened by what He Xia had said. He grabbed him and asked nervously, "You didn't answer it, did you? Ji Xu wants to force the two of us to move towards the expected result step by step. As long as we don't get through this time, he will understand that we have already understood each other tacitly."
"No." He Xia was very glad for his decision. He let out a breath as if he had been reborn, and poured himself a glass of water to relieve his dry throat. "If it were before, I would definitely go and see what he was up to, but you told me too much last time, which made me a little disgusted with Linning Street."
The two of them sat in their private office, silent for a while.
Yu Ke opened his mouth and said, "Ji Xu... Where on earth did this guy come from?" As soon as one takes a break, a bunch of useless thoughts will flood into his mind, intertwined like a tangled mess. "He has a code name, is skilled in assassination, and is proficient in assassination. How could he, like a young rookie, deliberately expose his real name and dangerousness?"
"You mean he intentionally let the situation develop to this point?" He Xia replied, "Is Ji Xu sick? Is being wanted fun?"
The two people who didn't know that this game of simulator was started by a wanted criminal couldn't understand it, so they had to speculate on the purpose of the season sequence from other directions.
"First of all, he certainly wouldn't have left his real name without considering the consequences."
Ji Xu, who had just found out what he had done wrong not long ago, heard the crackling sound of the keyboard. The notebook occupied by the diary was typing frantically as if it had been electrocuted. Puzzledly, he took some water covering the bottom of the cup and poured it into the cactus pot, then opened the curtains to let the sunlight fill the simple room.
"Secondly, he has close ties with the Security Bureau. He is said to be a killer, but he didn't kill anyone in the park."
"Considering these two points, as well as the cooperation revealed in the email, I have a guess," Yu Ke slapped the table, "Since he killed Deputy Director Tao Yi, Ji Xu was ready to exit the vortex. He left his real name and wandered around for three months without resistance. When he learned that the case was transferred to me... us, Ji Xu went through many tests and thought that we were qualified to become his other chess pieces, so he returned to the arena and became active again."
Ji Xu turned to look at the increasingly nervous keyboard and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with the log?"
Shudong: "Recording some unofficial history."
Ji Xu: "...?"
Tree Hole: "Anyway, don't talk for now. It's fine. It's just laughing so hard that it's almost going crazy. It wants to laugh even more when it hears your voice."
Unable to just watch the diary twitch, Ji Xu obediently shut his mouth, sat at the desk, and sorted out the various parts he had bought in the past few days. When it was almost dark, two assembled pistols were quietly placed on the desk. He loaded the bullets, pulled the safety bolt, and tried to fire a shot.
"The range is just so-so." Shudong, who had followed Ji Xu and unknowingly learned a lot of strange knowledge, commented honestly, "It went off track after only thirty meters."
Ji Xu was also very picky: "Yes, it's much worse than I thought. The quality of the parts collected urgently is indeed substandard."
However, considering that this was not an assassination but suicide - performing a final scene of killing himself - this kind of homemade hand-made stirrup with insufficient precision is actually more appropriate.
Ji Xu had no choice but to kick it into his pocket with disgust, put on his coat, tightened the chain and hood, and left in the cool night breeze of late autumn.
He walked for a while, then took a taxi, transferred, and took the subway for a while. The lights in the blocks near the city center were bright day and night. Even when Ji Xu came late at night, the streets were crowded with people. He bought a glass of watermelon juice, pulled the brim of his hat, and listened to the complaints of passers-by while biting the straw.
——The traffic lights on Linning Street could not be repaired. It was suspected that there was a problem with the circuit and there was no time to repair it. Recently, it was suspected that an important person was going to pass by, so the road was simply closed.
This caused the already congested roads in the city center to become even more congested.
Ji Xu sighed. If he had known this would happen, he would have rented a safe house nearby in advance. What if all the actors in the scene were there, except the killer himself? He didn't dare to imagine what the closing ceremony would be like.
Ji Xu, who was essentially a bit of an idol, rejected this kind of imagination. He found a park that was closed at night, took two steps at a time, bent his knees and jumped in with his hands. After getting away from the crowd, his speed increased greatly. When he came to the blocked Lining Street, he found a branch shaded by a tree and squatted with one leg propped up. The unfinished watermelon juice was placed not far away. After being exposed to the air for a long time, the red color inside slowly oxidized and changed color.
After an unknown amount of time, a convoy came and many people got off the train carrying various instruments. When Ji Xu saw someone wearing a thermal infrared detection goggles turning around, he didn't even throw away the eavesdropping device he had prepared, but jumped back into the wall neatly.
The slight heat generated by the bug when it is operating would be detected by the detector, not to mention Ji Xu, a living person.
He found that the search level was different from what he had originally expected. He raised his eyebrows, found the truck that the supermarket in the park usually used to transport frozen products, started the ignition, and drove to the previous location. He took out his mobile phone with one hand and typed blindly: "I don't mind changing the target today to you, but whether you can survive depends on God's will."
Text message: "I remember you always keep your promises."
"No one knows that my real target is Fang Jin. Now it's you. It doesn't seem like a breach of contract in the eyes of others:)"
Ji Xu parked the car far away, the wheels rolling on the concrete ground. The sound of brakes was drowned out by the busy crowd on the other side of the wall.
He used his thief skills to pry open the trunk lock and get in.
Normal thermal infrared can hardly detect heat through concrete walls, but the two worlds are different. Not to mention whether the simulator has unknown high-tech, what if corners were cut when building the wall nearby? If he is careless and gets caught, even if he gets away afterwards, he will be ridiculed for the rest of his life.
He turned on his phone, and the director on the other side seemed to have received a satisfactory answer, and told him without hesitation: "It was just a little accident, and it had nothing to do with me. I just didn't stop it. By tomorrow morning, we will resume the usual search intensity - although it is not low either."
"I can tell you what happened to prove my innocence." This was artificially divided into sections, as if to keep the secret, but Ji Xu was busy driving at the time, and the other party who didn't respond had to bow his head and explain the reason, "It was a relative cultivated by Tao Yi in the past. He is a fool. He was ostracized after Tao Yi's death. He made trouble tonight and tried to seize the opportunity to attend the meeting tomorrow. He also forced the search team to step up efforts to check the dangerous points along the route."
Normally, anyone could handle this kind of thing, but Tao Yi died, the other deputy director stayed indoors, Fang Jin was too busy to bother with an idiot, and the director was happy to see it happen for some unknown reason.
The only victim, Ji Xu, then pulled down the screen and nothing more.
The signal in the freezer was not good. After circling around for a long time, Ji Xu tapped his phone with no results. He had no choice but to prop up half of his body with his arms and lean over to push open the trunk door. Because of the brief internet outage just now, the moment he was connected to the Internet, a series of text messages came in at the same time.
"I hope it's the same as what you said. Only I know the truth."
It seemed like I hadn't received any messages for a long time. The person in the text message was also very strange, and his status was both high and low. Ji Xu couldn't help but comment, saying that this person was really twisted.
"Don't let other people get involved in our cooperation, even if it's about to end, okay? I thought I was your carefully selected partner, not two small people chasing after you without even seeing your back."
Ji Xu: “Ok, boss.”
Hiss, I hope I won’t meet another lunatic in the next simulator.
