Mercury retrograde(1/2)
7pm.
Inside the dormitory.
Allen fulfilled his previous promise and acted as a chef.
The reason why I came to this dinner was partly to win over Zhang Xue, but more importantly, I wanted to take advantage of everyone’s subtle relationship so that I could have smooth communication with Gu Chen’s team.
Gu Chen's team cannot go out casually, so the purchase of ingredients usually falls on Zhang Xue.
As soon as Zhang Xue went out, Yuan Shasha came to the window to observe secretly.
Allen also put down the kitchen knife and handed over the task of cooking to Master Xi. He went to the living room and exchanged information with Gu Chen and others.
"How's it going? Have you seen the core executives of the company today?" Gu Chen seized the time and asked quickly.
Allen crossed his arms and thought briefly: "These people have met, and I have explained to them the current dilemma of our team."
"But I feel it's quite difficult to gain the trust of these people and be able to freely enter and exit their offices."
"How long will it take?" Officer Wang frowned and explained: "What I mean is, if you are asked to enter the core office and search for key evidence, how long will it take to do it?"
"It's impossible at the moment." Allen was about to come, and he sighed deeply and said, "You must know that I have been doing this for three years, and what I pay attention to is the steady flow of water."
"No progress can be made too hastily, and it is precisely because of this that I can continue to stay in this wolf den."
"But now, I want to go home. This time I have to use all my skills. I have to find clues as soon as possible. So, even if I can't get evidence from these core executives, I have to go meet the insider.
"
"No." After hearing what Allen said, Gu Chen immediately stopped him and said, "Did you know? This morning, we saw a man in black from the company's discipline and security department walking out of the freight elevator carrying a bloody sack."
"And in the lobby on the first floor of the company today, the security guards were armed with live ammunition and large dogs. I always felt uneasy. I almost thought it was you in the sack."
"Really?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Allen's face suddenly changed and he said:
"In the lobby on the first floor of the company building, I do know that these security guards are armed with live ammunition. This is nothing."
"Because as far as I know, there are far more scammers in the building than just our family. These hundreds of people actually belong to different electronic fraud gangs, and the fraud techniques and scripts are also different."
"But there is one thing that is the same. These people all accept unified food and accommodation arrangements and share the same money laundering channels."
"It's even protected by the same black and white forces, including the men in black with guns and ammunition that you saw in the lobby on the first floor this morning. In fact, I don't know who is behind all this."
"But in order to grasp a more accurate situation of the group, even if there is a problem with the insider, I have to go and meet with him for a while."
"Alan, are you sure the information was provided by one of our own? How sure are they of the authenticity of the information?"
Gu Chen always maintained a vigilant attitude, so he asked more questions.
Allen crossed his fingers and looked blank, as if he was also thinking about the information he had compiled over the past few days.
After a brief hesitation, Allen still insisted: "I still believe in our comrades."
"Because they know that some information errors may harm comrades within the company, that is, me."
"After all, I have been lurking in this group for three years."
"If due to their mistakes, I am discovered by the group and my identity is exposed, it will cause immeasurable losses to the entire operation."
After a pause, Allen also said resolutely: "So, I believe that our comrades will not ignore these risks."
"Then why do we want to meet you? Not them?" Officer Wang said.
"They have actually been in contact briefly, but not face to face, but also through communication devices."
"In addition, the appointment to meet at the beach was also discussed in advance by everyone. Tomorrow is Thursday, and the time we originally agreed on was set at around 7 o'clock on Thursday evening."
"Where is that?" Gu Chen asked.
"In the park bay not far from here." Allen picked up the water glass, took a sip of water, and said: "But where exactly is it? What code sign language is used? I will exchange information with the action team before.
location to get the final result.”
"So, starting from tomorrow, I have to go out to do errands. If I miss this time, I will have to wait until next Monday, but I can't wait any longer."
"Okay." He knew that it would be useless to talk more. As a veteran undercover agent, Allen has such an attitude, which shows that Allen has analyzed various pros and cons.
At least Allen still trusts the intelligence provided by the outside operation team.
After thinking about it, Gu Chen was still a little worried, and continued to add: "If you can find a way tomorrow, let me follow you so that you can take care of me."
"If something happens to you, we will lose contact with the action team, so from the perspective of taking the overall situation into consideration, you have to let me follow you."
After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at each other, seemingly analyzing the pros and cons.
A few seconds later, Lu Weiwei on the side couldn't help but said: "Gu Chen must follow you tomorrow. You can't have any accidents."
"Once your identities are exposed, it's good to have Gu Chen by your side to take care of you."
"Then if Gu Chen and I are exposed, wouldn't you be in danger?" Seeing Lu Weiwei's attitude of despising death, Allen still felt a little soft-hearted.
But Lu Weiwei waved her hands and said, "Who are we? We are the elite criminal investigation team of Jiangnan City Furong Branch."
"Even if you and Gu Chen's identities are exposed, we will do what we should do, and we will find ways to distance ourselves from you, so you don't have to worry."
"Okay." Feeling that it would be useless to say more, Allen nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Tomorrow I will find a way to ask Gu Chen to follow."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If we cannot get the core criminal evidence within the company from the insider as soon as possible, we may have to stay here doing nothing."
"But we are undercover police, and our target is this fraud group."
"One more day of delay will result in more victims in the country."
"And you have to know that these new fraud methods are very rich. Once they reach the designated account, it will soon be distributed to all parts of the world."
"There are criminal gangs specializing in money laundering in this building. They are all professionals. Therefore, every time I see people in the office and the team cheering for success, I feel particularly uncomfortable."
"Because every time they cheer, there is one more victim in the country. Can you imagine that for so many years, I have to congratulate and congratulate these electronic fraud gangs on their achievements, while at the same time secretly feeling sad?"
"I can understand." Seeing Allen's melancholy expression, Gu Chen patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Senior Allen, you have done everything you should do."
"Without you, many electronic fraud cases would have been difficult to trace."
"So, no matter what happens tomorrow, no matter how big the risk is, let me bear it with you."
"Okay." Allen knew that he couldn't defeat Gu Chen, so he could only reluctantly agree: "Then you will come with me tomorrow and follow my command in all actions."
"Understood." Gu Chen raised his right hand.
Seeing this, Allen directly shook hands with Gu Chen and reached a consensus.
After Gu Chen hesitated briefly, he asked Allen again: "By the way, Senior Allen, it's about the bloody sack this morning. Can you find out who was dragged there?"
"No." Allen shook his head and denied directly: "These people never let us discover what they do. Every action they take is very secretive, and no one from our company is allowed to contact them."
"But don't worry, if you find a corpse or something recently, it was probably done by this group of people."
"Because there are many criminal gangs lurking in this building."
"And there are many police officers watching these criminal gangs."
"Of course, because there are many international companies involved, all countries have dispatched undercover agents, and some even instigated relevant personnel to rebel."
"Just like the mole we came into contact with, since he is willing to cooperate with our police, we should cooperate with him and never miss the opportunity."
"Because if the opportunity is missed and the informant is discovered, he will die or be disabled."
"When that time comes, these people will be even more careful. If they want to find their handle again, it will be almost as difficult as climbing to the sky."
"So, we can't make any mistakes this time, and the sack that was dragged away is immediately likely to be an employee who is disloyal to these gangs, similar to the mole who comes into contact with our police."
After hearing what Allen said, Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Senior Allen, is this person who was dragged away by the sack the traitor who wants to meet us?"
"It's not such a coincidence." Allen crossed his arms and lay on the sofa, also lost in memories and said: "If it was this mole who was dragged away, then he would definitely tell the story of the meeting."
"If this is the case, the company will definitely have issued a notice long ago, asking the main leaders of our teams to pay special attention. This kind of thing has happened several times, so the company has a plan."
"You even have a plan for this?" Lu Weiwei was stunned after hearing Allen's words.
It can be seen that these criminal gangs are well organized and beyond everyone's imagination.
Allen reminded: "If no corresponding notice is issued, it means that the people dragged away by the sack may not be members of our group, but members of other criminal gangs."
"In short, you must remember that this is the Philippines and a foreign country. It is not that we should not control many things, but that we cannot control them."
"Once your identity is exposed, you will be the next person to be put in the sack. For the overall situation, many situations have to be chosen."
"I understand." Knowing Allen's current difficulties, Gu Chen nodded silently to express his understanding.
At this moment, Yuan Shasha, who had been observing the movement outside, quickly turned around and reminded: "Zhang Xue is back."
"Oops." After hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Allen immediately stood up and came to Master Xi.
Mr. Xi quickly took off his apron and threw it to Allen.
After Allen put on his apron, he quickly took over the cooking work from Master Xi and began to pretend to be the chef in front of Zhang Xue.
For one night, everyone got along well with each other just like last night.
Everyone was immersed in laughter and laughter.
Zhang Xue was also unknowingly attracted by the charm of Gu Chen and others.
