“True.” Xie San nodded.
“F*ck! We must have overlooked some of the details. How are we going to connect the whole case otherwise! It’s obvious that all of them are related but we lack one connecting point. This is so f*cking annoying.” Wang Meng complained in distress.
All of the people in the meeting room turned to look at him.
“What the he*l! Why are you guys looking at me, do I have flowers on my face?” Wang Meng’s voice echoed through the whole meeting room followed by the roaring laughter of the crowd.
“What did the bait say?” Xiao Feng asked after the laughter ceased.
“The first mission will be announced tonight, time is yet to be confirmed. Nonetheless, our guys are fully prepared, we’d planted our men in all the main branches of each internet cafe. Once he’s online, we’ll know his location immediately. We should be able to arrest him after we know the time that he decides to announce the mission,” said Xie San.
“Right. What about you Xu Lan, do you have anything to say?” Xiao Feng saw Xu Lan being worried and asked puzzledly.
“Oh, I have a question. The file recorded that the second son of the elder brother fell ill and died. What kind of illness was so serious that he died before reaching the hospital for treatment? They received compensation from the mine and the relocation subsidy. In addition, they should have gotten a generous amount of compensation from the public security bureau impersonation incident. However, there are no records about them sending their son to the hospital. Also, what was the reason that made both of them insane after their son died or did it happen at the same time?” Xu Lan asked while he squinted at the files in his hand.
“Hmm, go and check on it,” Xiao Feng said.
‘Knock knock.’
“Come in.”
Bai Wu helped Xiao Zhan to carry a computer over and placed it on the table. “This is the most treasured thing in our station, we’re bringing out the last bit of our secrets.”
“What is this? Isn’t it just a computer?” Wang Meng asked, before standing up to take a look at it.
“This is a modified computer, it can calculate five times faster than a normal computer. We’re looking for the administrator of ‘Sparrow’ tonight, Group Leader Meng told me to bring this over,” Xiao Zhang said.
“Thank you, thank you Group Leader Meng. It’s very nice of you.”
“Don’t mention it, it’s what I’m supposed to do. We’re actively searching for new leads in order to catch the suspect as soon as possible,” Meng Chengjun said kindly with a smile.
“Why are you here?” Xu Lan asked with a lowered voice when Bai Wu slowly walked and stood behind him.
After the meeting ended, Bai Wu quietly dragged Xu Lan into the reference room.
“What happened?” Xu Lan asked as Bai Wu seemed to be a little off today.
“The void had grown larger.”
“...” Xu Lan looked at a quiet Bai Wu who was pinching the corners of his shirt. Bai Wu dare not lift up his head to look at him either. Time was as if a knife, slicing on Bai Wu’s body stroke after stroke.
“I... I don’t have any other intention. I just want to ask... Want to ask if you’ll be back home for dinner tonight?” Bai Wu’s tears started to fall. He was asking if he was willing to stay with him.
Xu Lan looked at his watch, it was twenty past five in the evening.
“We’re having an operation tonight, I wouldn’t be back on time. You should head back first.”
Suddenly, he recalled that the very last time, Xu Lan wanted to send him away. He felt sad and huge droplets of tears started shedding. He could not move any part of his body, not to mention lifting his head up.
“Okay.”
Xu Lan shook his head, took out his handkerchief, and wiped Bai Wu’s tears. There were small puddles on the floor, how could such a big guy still cry so much.
