Zhong Kui's Diary
Just as I was in a dilemma, a familiar voice came from my phone. It was Mr. Qian: "Oh, you found out so quickly? Hey, hello, moshi moshi, how are you!"
"Mr. Qian, you have quite the bold move," I replied hoarsely.
"What the hell! How are you? Why is it always you? Zhong Zhengnan, you're too elusive! How did you find this place?" Mr. Qian's voice was filled with exaggerated surprise.
"The net is wide but not without gaps! Mr. Qian, did you think you could escape Star City?" I sneered.
"Leak your sister! As if you're so impressive. Whether I can escape Star City is none of your concern!" Mr. Qian chuckled, "But hey, finding the vault is not bad; your IQ seems to be developing well. By the way, didn't you go looking for Ray Yu?"
"We found him, thanks for the tip. We located Ray Yu at Xiangshan High School," I said with a bitter smile.
"Oh? How come you weren't blown up? That bomb on Ray Yu is supposed to be triggered at any moment," Mr. Qian said, somewhat surprised.
"Mr. Qian, at this point, are you still joking around? The bomb on Ray Yu was just a fake; there was no need to disarm it!" I snorted.
"Fake?" Mr. Qian seemed to find this incredibly hard to believe. After a moment of silence, he coldly laughed and said, "Whether it's real or fake doesn't matter anymore; the most important thing is that now, you all can die. Zhuo Wei, please take care of them!"
With that, Mr. Qian hung up the phone.
Zhuo Wei?
Who is Zhuo Wei?
If Zhuo Wei is going to kill us, could it be that Zhuo Wei is right beside us?
Could Zhuo Wei be that mysterious Invisible Man?
I was shocked and startled, my hand clutching the Spell flailing about wildly. Kong Xuan was so frightened that he darted around trying to avoid me and shouted loudly, "Damn it, watch where you're pointing that finger!"
The two armed police had been listening to my conversation with Mr. Qian. Although they didn't know the background of the situation, they could roughly guess it was related to the vault that Mr. Qian had robbed. Just as they were confused, hearing Kong Xuan yelling at me made them look at me with a mix of suspicion and caution, raising their Submachine Guns deliberately or inadvertently in my direction.
"Can you see any invisible things?" I smiled at the two armed police officers and turned to ask Kong Xuan.
"Didn't I teach you before?" Kong Xuan frowned and took out a Willow Leaf, rubbing it on his eyelids a few times while muttering a spell. He then looked around and shook his head, "No, no Invisible Man!"
Hearing that there was no Invisible Man nearby, I breathed a sigh of relief. That scoundrel Mr. Qian had scared us before leaving. I looked at the two armed police officers and said, "This matter is quite complicated, and I can't explain it to you right now, but I am indeed the Special Security Consultant personally appointed by Director Ling."
The two armed police officers looked at me with skepticism but said nothing.
"Can we enter the vault?" I pointed to the Alloy Gate beside us.
The Thick-Browed Armed Police Officer shook his head, "Only the bank's designated personnel and our captain have the key to this door."
Actually, it didn't matter whether we could enter the vault or not; our presence here had already confirmed that the vault had been robbed. The only thing left to do was figure out how to intercept the gold taken by Mr. Qian.
Holding the Waveguide Phone, I called Lou Wei to update him on the situation here and asked how things were going on Wan Dahai's side.
"This guy is simply an idiot; there's still no movement!" Lou Wei cursed on the other end of the line.
"Damn, is Wan Dahai eating shit? If Lingfeng were here, it wouldn't be this inefficient!" I was also anxious and shouted, "If this drags on, Mr. Qian can swagger out of Star City!"
Hearing me curse Wan Dahai, Kong Xuan frowned and patted my shoulder, saying, "Zheng Nan, is it possible that Wan Dahai is also Mr. Qian's person? These kidnapping cases are a two-for-one scheme; the first goal is to divert everyone's attention, while the second is to push Lingfeng off the stage and replace him with his own person—Wan Dahai. This way, as long as Wan Dahai pretends to comply while actually doing nothing, it will be much easier for Mr. Qian during his retreat."
Upon hearing Kong Xuan's reasoning, I felt it made a lot of sense and quickly relayed this idea to Lou Wei. Lou Wei was taken aback for a moment, cursed again, and asked what plan I had. I replied that I had a plan; he could either find a way to suspend Wan Dahai or reinstate Lingfeng.
Just as I hung up the phone, I heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the corridor. A dozen armed police officers rushed in, led by an officer and a middle-aged man who looked panicked. The officer and the middle-aged man glanced at us but didn't bother with us; they rushed straight to the main door. Each pulled out a large key from their bodies and inserted it into the Lock Hole in the center of the door. After twisting it twice, a control panel popped out from the door's center. The two took turns entering passwords before the middle-aged man stepped back. The officer grabbed the doorknob and shouted loudly as the 1.5-meter-thick Round Alloy Gate slowly opened.
Behind the door was a warehouse that looked just like what was shown on camera—completely empty shelves inside. On the left wall was a Dark Hole next to which several forklifts were parked along with a peculiar Shield Tunneling Machine. It was clear that Mr. Qian had first used the Shield Tunneling Machine to dig out a Big Hole in the wall and then used forklifts to transport the gold out before finally transferring it into dump trucks using excavators. Once all the gold was loaded onto the dump trucks, they would abandon those forklifts and machines because even if those machines were valuable, they couldn't compare to even a fraction of five tons of gold.
"Captain, what should I call you?" I approached the officer and the middle-aged man.
"My name is Hua An!" The officer frowned at me; his face looked somewhat pale. However, compared to the trembling middle-aged man beside him, he appeared much calmer.
I cleared my throat and briefly summarized the situation regarding Mr. Qian, concluding, "This is the current situation: they are driving three dump trucks, and their target is quite obvious. We can ask the traffic police to retrieve the surveillance footage to track the dump trucks' whereabouts, and then we'll see if Captain Hua can get a helicopter. Ideally, it should be an armed helicopter to shoot at the driver's cabin of the dump trucks. Even if they flip over, the gold won't break."
Hearing this, Captain Hua and the middle-aged man both used their walkie-talkies to notify their superiors, as there was no mobile signal inside this metal-encased vault.
After a while, Captain Hua looked frustrated and said, "My superior informed me that they have already contacted a helicopter, but the Traffic Police Team said that all road surveillance in Star City has been hacked. All camera footage is now just a mass of static, and all previous recordings have been completely deleted."
"So we can't find out where those three dump trucks went?" I frowned.
"Exactly," Captain Hua nodded.
"Damn, Mr. Qian really leaves no stone unturned," I muttered.
"However, the Traffic Police Team mentioned that the cameras in surrounding counties did not capture any dump trucks leaving Star City. This means those three dump trucks are still within Star City," Captain Hua paused and added, "Now we just need to see if the helicopter can locate them."
After exiting the vault and waiting in the lobby for about an hour, Captain Hua received a call and helplessly told me, "The helicopter hasn't found any trace of the three dump trucks."
I felt a wave of frustration wash over me. "Did any cameras in the surrounding counties capture giant dump trucks entering or exiting?"
"None. It appears those three dump trucks are still within Star City," Captain Hua frowned.
"Three large dump trucks aren't like three bicycles; where could Mr. Qian possibly hide them?" I murmured to myself.
Although Star City is vast, a helicopter can fly from one end to the other in less than ten minutes. Given how obvious their target is, unless they are hidden underground, they shouldn't escape detection by a helicopter.
Could they be parked in an underground garage?
That seemed impossible; no underground garage could accommodate these nearly four-meter-high dump trucks.
Suddenly, I thought of a possibility: could those three dump trucks be driving along the sewer system? After proposing this theory, Liu Donghui, the security team leader beside me, said, "According to the surveillance footage at my entrance, after these three dump trucks entered the sewer system, they came out loaded with dirt."
Liu Donghui's comment dismissed my theory. As for the dirt on top of the dump trucks, it was likely used to conceal the gold.
The underground garage is impossible, and the sewer has also been ruled out. What other way can there be to hide these three dump trucks? These three dump trucks don’t have wings; they certainly can’t fly, right?
Captain Hua, Liu Donghui, and that middle-aged man named Director Zeng all looked at each other, saying, "Where could they have gone?"
Where could the three missing dump trucks be hidden so that they wouldn't be discovered by the helicopter?
There was a moment of silence as everyone desperately turned their brains.
"Tunnel!" After a while, Kong Xuan suddenly shouted loudly, "These three dump trucks can be parked inside a tunnel!"
That's right, the tunnel.
Only in a tunnel could these three giant dump trucks be concealed.
They quickly asked Captain Hua to call the Traffic Police Team to check if there were any reports of three dump trucks parked inside a tunnel. Even if there were no cameras, someone would surely call in to report it. After a while, he shook his head at me, indicating that there were currently no unusual situations in any tunnels.
Could it be that they are not in the tunnel? Or perhaps this tunnel has no vehicles passing through? Suddenly, I thought of a place and looked up at Kong Xuan, who was also looking at me with bright eyes. The two of us almost simultaneously blurted out a location.
"Jigong Mountain Tunnel!"
