Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 277 - 145: Metaphysics Lottery

Zeng Dan knows the suspect?

It seems those two have long been in the Ningzhou National Security Bureau's investigation system, or even on the list for capture.

Could it be that these three are spies as well;

Or have they done something that endangers national security?

This further solidified Gu Ji's previous judgment; a common kidnapping case could never attract the attention of national security. There must be some major force targeting Jian Na, and her identity as a member of Team 7472 must have been leaked long ago!

Gao Bo shook off the mud on his body, pointed at Jian Xing, who had been rescued by the Wuzhou special forces and had wet his pants in fear, and laughed:

"Hey, the Monk was spot on. This kid did pay a price. I wonder what big shot his family provoked, warranting so many people to kidnap a thug..."

"Although this kid is really rotten, the real motive behind the kidnapping probably has nothing to do with him. It's more likely related to the trouble his sister, who works at the Japan Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, stirred up."

Liu Weijun glanced at Zeng Dan, who was negotiating with the Wuzhou National Security personnel, realizing this was no ordinary case.

A moment later, Chen Zhiyu and Zhao Hua, upon receiving the news, arrived with Ding Lan.

Since Zeng Dan was still busy on the phone, Chen Zhiyu had to rush over to explain to everyone.

"Sorry everyone, Dan and I probably won't be able to continue hiking with you. We've just received a temporary notice from above and need to execute a task immediately." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"There's nothing to apologize for. It's more like thanks to you for working even during your vacation."

Zhou Yang's girlfriend, who got along well with Chen Zhiyu, quickly waved her hand and said.

Everyone present knew their identities and understood their difficulties. Moreover, after such an incident, the scenic area would definitely be closed temporarily for investigation, and no one was in the mood to continue playing.

Chen Zhiyu pursed her lips and finally glanced at Gu Ji.

Their eyes met.

Gu Ji didn't say anything, just watched her leave.

Soon, the police and special forces began evacuating tourists en masse to the outside of the mountain entrance, while a few of them followed the Tianhu Mountain police back to the mid-mountain parking area to make a simple on-site statement.

The parking lot was already crowded with various assault vehicles, police cars, and ambulances.

Ding Lan noticed two suspects being escorted into a car by special forces. Although she couldn't see their faces, she could infer from their clothing that they were the middle-aged couple who struck up a conversation with them during the morning at the scenic area entrance.

Apparently, Zeng Dan had arranged everything long before.

"So they were really spies!"

"Maybe those three kidnappers were in cahoots with them, and even the thief was deliberately released to lure us!"

"Aren't there so many spies hidden in our Xia Kingdom?"

"Of course, previously released media data showed that our Xia Kingdom has at least tens of thousands of spies, especially military spies!"

Faced with Ding Lan's curiosity, Gao Bo casually explained.

Upon hearing this, Wu Kang lowered his head again, seemingly still blaming himself for almost leaking important information earlier.

If the gang had mastered their identity as special forces and national security, it could have led to a change in their criminal methods, making them more covert and harder to capture.

Gu Ji, however, focused all his attention on a military green BJ80 off-road vehicle with a license plate starting with "ZT."

He vaguely remembered that "Z" represented the units directly subordinate to the four general departments, and "T" belonged to an intelligence agency under the management of the General Staff Department's intelligence department.

Indeed.

Besides the National Security Bureau, Xia Kingdom's intelligence agencies have another important department, which is the General Staff Department of the military.

It mainly handles military intelligence reconnaissance, such as equipment, deployments, formations, combat intentions, directions, etc., and also oversees internal security and counter-espionage work.

The General Staff intelligence system is divided into two departments, the second and third.

From the division of labor, the second department manages internal and external special correspondents and military attaches stationed abroad, while the third department mainly handles technical reconnaissance, including monitoring, code breaking, radio reconnaissance, etc. Each department has several branches responsible for different countries and regions. In 1999, Dunklin's visit to Xia was provided with comprehensive technical support and reconnaissance by the third bureau of the General Staff's third department, demonstrating the military's strong intelligence capabilities.

But this kidnapping case, in its small aspect, was to coerce Jian Na, and in a larger sense, to pry open "Code 7472."

No matter which direction you interpret it from, it should be handled by national security.

How did it suddenly involve the military intelligence department?

Gu Ji simply couldn't figure it out. The known information was too scarce, and as a small special police officer, he had no authority to intervene unless he could contact Jian Na and confirm who was behind all this.

By the time they finished making their statements, it was already three in the afternoon.

Everyone packed their luggage, got back in the car, and prepared to return to Ningzhou. With Zeng Dan and Chen Zhiyu on a mission, two seats in Gu Ji's car were available, so they conveniently took Ding Lan and her roommate along.

On the return trip.

Ding Lan intended to chat with Gu Ji a bit, but he was continuously reviewing the kidnapping case in his mind, trying to find some clues, with no interest in other matters. The only times he spoke were to verify some intelligence technical issues with Zhao Hua.

In the evening, the convoy entered Ningzhou City, and Wu Kang and Gu Ji started dropping people off in order of addresses.

The first to get off were Ding Lan and her roommate, located in the university town.

"Thank you all, this trip was really fun. Let's meet again if we have the chance! Bye, Gu Ji!"

"Bye-bye!"

Gu Ji waved, and once the door closed, he hit the gas and left.

Seeing Ding Lan still standing by the roadside watching the car disappear, not wanting to leave, her roommate couldn't help but tease:

"Oh, can't bear to part ways? I must say, your ex-boyfriend is quite something. Handsome, and gives a sense of security, commanding the site and dividing the work during the kidnapping incident. His calm and serious demeanor was just captivating!"
