Chapter five hundred and eighty fourth at any cost
Qu Yangming was extremely shocked when he got the news. He really couldn't think of a reason for Cao Mingmin's departure. So far, the fifteen missing students have not received any news, but one thing is basically certain.
Kidnapping has nothing to do with it.
"This is not a criminal case at all!" Lu Jianqiang and Zhang Chi returned to Cao Mingmin's car and decided to check it again to see if any other details had been omitted.
Zhang Chi stood aside, wondering in his mind whether Cao Mingmin's sudden departure had something to do with Cao Chengguang? She had always had a deep affection for Cao Chengguang, but when Cao Chengguang was in the tiankeng, why was she Baidu Qingping Mountain? Is it to spread suspicion?
Lu Qiangqiang didn't know much about Cao Mingmin, and he couldn't figure out why an adult would suddenly leave his car here, put on makeup, and leave. Cao Mingmin had no criminal record, so he couldn't figure out her purpose of going to so much trouble to cover up her whereabouts.
The investigation into the disappearance of the other fifteen students has also come to light. This time the disappearance is more like a collective runaway from home. After Zhen Xiubo left home, she took a taxi and went directly to the airport. According to the flight record, she went to Huacheng. Zhan Minglu
She left on an electric bike. Her specific whereabouts are unknown, but there is a record of her credit card swiping in Huairou.
Sixteen people, including Cao Mingmin, all left voluntarily. Faced with the investigation results, Qu Yangming was really stunned. He couldn't figure out what happened? Why did these teachers and students leave collectively? According to feedback from their families, before the students left,
There was no abnormal behavior.
But the most important thing now is to find these missing teachers and students, not to find out the reasons for their disappearance.
Qu Yangming finally understood why the college had changed four deans in just one year. If this matter was not handled well, his position might be in jeopardy. How could it be possible that all sixteen living people were missing?
, and they all left voluntarily, where did they go? Why did they leave without saying goodbye, abandoning their jobs, their studies, and their families? There must be a reason behind this.
Lu Qiang had been busy working on this matter all day. When he came out of the police station, the sky was already full of stars. Zhang Chi followed him today. Lu Qiang said: "Don't worry, the police have been notified to the local police. If they find out their whereabouts, they will be the first to do so."
Contact us when you have time.”
"Second brother, thank you for your hard work."
Lu Qiangqiang smiled and said, "Do you still need to be so polite to me?"
Zhang Chi said: "I'll treat you to a supper."
"No, I have to go home and promise you Teacher Hu..." Lu Jianqiang revealed that he and Hu Yilin were already living together.
Zhang Chi looked at him happily.
Only then did Lu Jianqiang realize that he had lost his temper and said awkwardly: "I won't talk to you anymore. You can go back by yourself. I have to leave quickly. It's really too late today." He opened the car door.
Zhang Chi started his motorcycle, and Lu Jianqiang said to Zhang Chi: "Be careful!" Because of the mass disappearance that occurred in the college, Lu Jianqiang couldn't help but worry about the safety of his little brother.
"Do not worry!"
A whole day has passed, and there is still no trace of the collective loss of contact between teachers and students. All traces of tracing have been interrupted. These sixteen people seemed to have disappeared from the world, and no news about them could be found anymore. A shadow shrouded the sky above the college.
A thick layer of haze.
Qu Yangming went to see An Chongguang again with only one purpose, to use the Bureau of Mystery's Hanhai system to conduct a location search. These teachers and students had already been included in the Archives of the Bureau of Mystery, and they could be located using the Hanhai system.
An Chongguang said: "I have already explained to you that the activation of the Hanhai system must be authorized by the three-person committee."
"Then ask for the authorization of the three-person committee. Aren't you one of the three-person committee? I will be in charge of Mr. Yue." All previous directors of the Mysterious Bureau are members of the three-person committee. The current three-person committee is Mr. Qin, Yue
Mr. An Chongguang and Mr. An can only activate the search function of the Hanhai system if they are authorized by both of them at the same time.
An Chongguang said: "Where is Mr. Qin?"
Qu Yangming pursed his lips: "Let me go and tell you, where is Mr. Qin?"
An Chongguang shook his head and said: "Mr. Qin's whereabouts are not within my jurisdiction. Maybe you should ask Mr. Yue."
Qu Yangming said: "I remember that the director of the Mysterious Bureau has the authority to activate the Hanhai system in an emergency."
An Chongguang said: "If I make an exception and use this power for the sixteen missing teachers and students, I will be personally responsible for all the consequences."
"Sixteen lives, isn't it enough for you to take risks?"
"Dean Qu, according to the current information, these sixteen teachers and students all ran away on their own. They were not coerced, and there is no evidence that their personal safety was threatened. These students are all internal disciples of the Mysterious Bureau. I
The pressure I bear is no less than yours."
Qu Yangming said: "Every minute of delay, the risk they face will increase."
An Chongguang sighed and said: "Even if I activate the emergency system, without Mr. Qin's authorization, I will not be able to exert all the functions of the Hanhai system. The Hanhai system is a double-edged sword. When we do not have sufficient control, not only
If it doesn’t help, it will cause unpredictable negative impacts.”
Qu Yangming sat down slumped. This situation has put the college into trouble. Every second-year student is in danger. He has made the decision to postpone the start of school. It is not yet known when this situation will end.
An Chongguang said: "Have Dean Qu found out why they took the initiative to leave?"
Qu Yangming raised his head and glanced at An Chongguang. He insisted that the escape this time was a conspiracy. These missing students should have been coerced by some kind of force, rather than running away on their own initiative as An Chongguang said.
An Chongguang said: "There is something I want to remind Dean Qu. Among the sixteen people who ran away, there is only one teacher, Cao Mingmin. As the dean of the college, she knows the situation of every student."
"Are you doubting Cao Mingmin?"
An Chongguang said: "Based on the information of these teachers and students, I found that ten of them had the experience of studying in Hell Valley. Do you remember Cao Chengguang? You should know the relationship between Cao Chengguang and Cao Mingmin. Cao Chengguang is currently trapped in the sky
After the incident in Zhongzhou Ruins, she had repeatedly proposed that she want to be transferred to work in the tiankeng. Dean Qu should receive her report. "The tiankeng belongs to An Chongguang's jurisdiction. If Cao Mingmin wants to go to the tiankeng, first of all
We need to transfer the Mystery Bureau from the academy.
Qu Yangming said: "I refused. I also believe in Cao Mingmin's ethics as a teacher. It is impossible for her to use students to achieve her own goals."
An Chongguang said: "Women will often do whatever it takes for their feelings. Before the matter comes to light, we cannot rule out any possibility."
Qu Yangming's phone rang. He glanced at the screen and saw an unfamiliar number. Qu Yangming answered the phone: "Hello!"
After a while, the other party finally spoke: "Dean Qu?"
Qu Yangming became excited because he heard that the voice came from Cao Mingmin. He held the phone and made a hint to An Chongguang. An Chongguang nodded and understood what he meant instantly. Knowing that it was Cao Mingmin's call, he started immediately.
Track and lock based on this call.
"Teacher Cao, where are you?"
Cao Mingmin's voice was very calm: "Dean Qu, don't worry, the students and I are both safe."
Qu Yangming's heart tightened instantly. Cao Mingmin's words were tantamount to admitting that she was with the student, so this matter was probably a long-planned conspiracy.
An Chongguang signaled Qu Yangming to try to delay as much time as possible.
Qu Yangming said: "Teacher Cao, where are you? Everyone is very nervous now. What happened? Can you tell me?"
"I'm sorry, Dean Qu, for making you worry. These students will be fine for the time being. I have only one request. If Cao Chengguang is released, then all the students will return safely. I will give you seven days. If Cao Chengguang cannot regain his freedom within seven days,
Then every day, you will receive news that a student died unexpectedly, and also asked Zhang Chi and Bai Xiaomi to release Cao Chengguang, but I cannot trust anyone else."
"Cao..."
The phone was hung up.
Qu Yangming's face was ashen. The worst situation finally happened. This collective loss of contact was really related to Cao Mingmin, and it was planned by Cao Mingmin. Cao Mingmin's identity as the head of the department has great credibility for the students.
That's why fifteen students were easily deceived and fell into her trap. It was just using the lives of fifteen students in exchange for Cao Chengguang's freedom. This method was too insidious.
An Chongguang looked at Qu Yangming meaningfully. His suspicion was finally verified. Facts speak louder than words. Now Qu Yangming has nothing to say.
"This call is from Japan." An Chongguang traced the call location of Cao Mingmin based on the phone call.
Qu Yangming said in shock: "Impossible, there is no record of her leaving the country at all."
"Cao Mingmin is a master who has received strict training." An Chongguang was also unsure about this location.
Qu Yangming said: "Let Cao Chengguang go."
An Chongguang looked at Qu Yangming, and it was unclear from his tone whether he was requesting or ordering.
"The safety of those fifteen students must be guaranteed."
"How can you be sure that Cao Mingmin's words are true? How can you prove that all fifteen students are in her hands, and how can you prove that they are all safe?"
Qu Yangming sighed and said: "I can't afford to gamble, let alone lose!"
Although Zhang Chi also suspected that Cao Mingmin was involved in the mass loss of contact, he only believed that this possibility existed in theory. Judging from his contact with Cao Mingmin, Cao Mingmin was an excellent person in terms of character and ethics, so it was impossible.
Using students' lives to make a deal, but facts speak louder than words. After hearing Qu Yangming talk about it with his own ears, Zhang Chi believed that Cao Mingmin really did it. Women are really scary. They can do any crazy things for love.
, but Immortal Zhang felt that it was not worth it for that dwarf Cao Chengguang.
Qu Yangming's expression looked very helpless: "Zhang Chi, Cao Mingmin appointed you and Bai Xiaomi to be responsible for releasing Cao Chengguang."
"Why us?" I feel like I was kidnapped by Cao Mingmin on a pirate ship. Is it just because I have eaten one of her meals and had several deep conversations with her?
Qu Yangming said: "I don't know why, but Cao Mingmin called your names and asked you to go to the tiankeng in person to bring Cao Chengguang back. Maybe it's because she has relative trust in you two." He stood up and came to Zhang Chi and took a picture.
He patted Zhang Chi on the shoulder and said, "I don't want you to take risks, but this time it involves the safety of fifteen classmates, so I can only leave it to you."
Zhang Chi could only nod his head: "When will we set off?"
Qu Yangming said: "This matter is being coordinated with the Mysterious Bureau. The results will be available tomorrow at the latest. Cao Mingmin gave us an ultimatum. We will attack your classmates in seven days."
Zhang Chi secretly sighed, Cao Mingmin really exceeded his expectations this time. Women's hearts are so unpredictable. Cao Chengguang's life is life, aren't the lives of these fifteen classmates also life?
Qu Yangming said: "This matter must not be leaked to the outside world, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."
Zhang Chi said: "Mi Xiaobai agree?"
"Before I told you about this, I already asked for her opinion."
Bai Xiaomi was sitting alone on a chair next to the playground, in a daze. Zhang Chi walked over and sat down next to her.
Bai Xiaomi glanced at him and said nothing.
Zhang Chi said: "What do you think?"
"What do you think?"
"Director Cao's matter."
Bai Xiaomi said: "I don't know her well. You have more contact with her. What do you think?"
"You can't just die without saving someone."
Bai Xiaomi stretched out: "I didn't expect Director Cao to be so passionate about Cao Chengguang. If it were you who had been trapped in the sinkhole for so many years, do you think Qi Bing would wait for you?"
Immortal Zhang looked at Bai Xiaomi warily, why didn't this girl want to do something good?
Bai Xiaomi said: "I mean what if."
Zhang Chi said: "If there is such a thing, I don't want anyone to wait for me. Relationships are not kidnapping. We are together for happiness, not for mutual restraint. If she waits for me, I will feel guilty. If she waits for me, I will
I wish her happiness." After saying this, Immortal Zhang looked at Bai Xiaomi meaningfully: "The same goes for you."
Bai Xiaomi bit his lip, and then responded in a clear and crisp voice: "Get out!"
Zhang Chi thought he would leave for the Tiankeng soon, but the release of Cao Chengguang did not go as smoothly as expected. Except for New World College, students from other departments in Shuimu had already started returning to school, and Zhang Chi went to the station to pick up Qi Bing.
Qi Bing's style this time was different from the past. She did not carry a large baggage or small luggage, but only carried a backpack and dragged a small boarding case.
Seeing Zhang Chi at the exit of the station, Qi Bing happily jumped up to him. In front of everyone, he hugged Zhang Chi and kissed him twice on his cheeky cheeks.
Immortal Zhang took the box in her hand: "Are you tired?"
Qi Bing shook his head.
Zhang Chi whispered in her ear: "How about we go back to the hut first and play three rounds?"
Qi Bingqiao blushed: "That's what you are thinking about."
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "If I don't care about you, you will suspect that I am cheating on you secretly. It is really difficult to be a man."
Qi Bing chuckled, held his arm and said, "I have to go back to the dormitory first. Wanqiu and the others are waiting for me. Tonight, our girls' dormitory will have a group carnival after a long separation."
Immortal Zhang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay!"
"How are you doing?"
"Let's have a party together, I don't mind."
Qi Bing pinched his arm hard: "You don't mind, I don't mind. How shameless are you, and you still care about our dormitory."
Zhang Chi said: "You are so dirty, I haven't forgotten what you were thinking about at all."
The two got into the taxi. As soon as they got in the car, Lao Qu's phone number came through. Zhang Chi knew that it was time to set off as soon as he looked at the number. He secretly sighed that Lao Qu really knew how to choose the right time. After answering the phone, as expected, Qu Yangming asked him to leave.
Get ready and set off on time at seven o'clock tonight.
Zhang Chi raised his wrist and looked at the time. There were only four hours left before departure, and he didn't know how to explain it to Qi Bing.
"Is something wrong?" Qi Bing noticed something unusual about him.
Zhang Chi nodded and said, "I suddenly have a mission, and I may have to leave for a few days."
"How many days?"
"About a week."
Qi Bing reluctantly held his hand. They had been separated for more than half a month. They had just met, and they didn't expect to be separated again.
Zhang Chi held Qi Bing's slender hand in his hand, and gently rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb. Qi Bing leaned on Zhang Chi's shoulder and whispered: "I don't want you to go."
Zhang Chi said with a smile: "It's not like I never come back, a week passed quickly."
Qi Bing whispered something in his ear.
Immortal Zhang opened his mouth wide and did not close it for a long time.
