Chapter 42 The Net Closes
After leaving the company and returning home, Li Jiuhe kept thinking about these unusual questions.
Strange things started happening to me this month, including suddenly discovering that my daughter is not the daughter I knew, that I am a Sequencer, and that this world is not as simple as it seems.
He recalled that Jiang Qing had taken more than two months off from the company and had been receiving treatment abroad during that time without returning to China.
Could it be that she still remembers Li Yi because of her being abroad?
So it's not just myself; have the perceptions of everyone I know also been changed?
That's not the right way to think. If things have been changed, why would their perceptions be different? Only he remembers his daughter; no one else knows that such a person exists, except for Jiang Qing.
The more I think about it, the more my head feels like a complete mess.
When Li Jiuhe returned home, he searched the house inside and out again, but still found no trace of his daughter.
But the note he had put in his pocket and forgotten to take out last time was kept.
It seems that the cause of all this can only be determined once the forensic report from the police department is released.
He didn't go out again, but stayed at home and ordered takeout for dinner.
Around 9 p.m., Xu Wei called to tell him that all the onboarding reviews had been passed and he could officially report to the Investigation Bureau the next day.
Team leader Chen Zhenghai has already said that he will directly involve Xu Wei in the task of capturing the trackers.
This excited Li Jiuhe.
Because the tracker possesses the special ability to find anyone, he currently needs this ability to determine whether he has a daughter.
Before going to bed, Li Jiuhe set "sleep soundly" as a task, just to be on the safe side.
Now, whenever he does something he's unsure about, he subconsciously defines it as a task to complete. If something happens during this time, he can rely on task reset to salvage the situation.
For example, being ambushed and killed by an enemy while asleep will directly cause the mission to be reset.
His current task duration is 1 hour and 50 minutes, so Li Jiuhe set an alarm for almost two hours. Once the alarm rings, he will wake up and set a new task.
The longer the total duration of future tasks, the better. If he could complete a task for seven or eight hours at a time, he would be able to sleep without any worries.
Although there are no rewards for these ordinary tasks, there is one more thing that Li Jiuhe values very much: there will be a certain warning and assistance after the task is successfully defined.
If any abnormal situation occurs during the sleep process, the task information may include a reward or a notification of the abnormal event.
This will make Li Jiuhe pay more attention and take precautions in advance.
I slept on and off until dawn, and nothing happened that night.
After getting up, Li Jiuhe sent Jiang Qing a text message, inviting her to dinner that afternoon, as he wanted to discuss some issues with her.
In reality, he wanted Jiang Qing's consent to help him testify in front of Xu Wei and the others.
Jiang Qing thought there might be some problems between Li Jiuhe and her daughter. She was a kind-hearted person, so she quickly replied that she agreed.
Li Jiuhe arrived at the Special Incident Investigation Bureau half an hour before his work start time.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zhenghai had already arrived, and the two talked in the office for a while.
As per the director's instructions, Li Jiuhe has been assigned to Chen Zhenghai's second investigation team, with Chen Zhenghai responsible for arranging his work.
Li Jiuhe understood that each investigation team was usually only responsible for its own work, but when a difficult case came up or when the bureau made a unified dispatch, all the team members would come together to handle the case.
The current situation with the tracker is like this: because that guy's abilities are too special, a single team simply cannot complete the capture operation.
So far, a few members from other groups have been assigned to assist one group in capturing the trackers.
Xu Wei was also assisting one group, and Chen Zhenghai's idea was to have Li Jiuhe join in as well, to ensure that the pursuers could be caught as soon as possible.
Li Jiuhe readily agreed, which was one of the reasons he joined the Investigation Bureau.
Chen Zhenghai's group is the second group. The second group originally had four people, but now with Li Jiuhe, there are five.
Chen Zhenghai is the team leader, Xu Wei and a man in his early thirties named Lu Guan are investigators, and there is also a support staff member in the office.
The logistics staff is a young woman who used to be a police officer. She transferred to the investigation bureau last year. Generally, logistics personnel are not Sequencers.
Now, the second group of investigators, including Li Jiuhe, consists of four people, because the group leader, Chen Zhenghai, also goes on missions, but he is responsible for the more complicated ones.
After arriving at the office, Xu Wei gave Li Jiuhe a copy of the case details regarding the tracker.
Li Jiuhe took it and examined it carefully, only then realizing that the case had reached the final stage.
The tracker's abilities are indeed unique; he can not only sense anything he wants to track, but also has the ability to counter-track.
After all, someone skilled at tracking is unlikely to be unable to track back.
It is precisely because of this counter-tracking ability that he is so difficult for the Bureau of Investigation to catch; this guy has already escaped capture by the Bureau of Investigation in five cities.
Wangchuan City is the sixth.
However, he is very likely to be defeated in Wangchuan City, because one of the investigators in a group of the Wangchuan City Investigation Bureau has a more special sequence ability, which makes this guy feel like he has met his nemesis.
The tracker has now been located in an apartment room, but he is unaware of this and is preparing for his own operation.
Fortunately, although this guy was not under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Investigation, he was not as vicious as the food-fearers who did not care about the lives of ordinary people.
He only robbed people of their money and never murdered them for their wealth, which is why his wanted level has never been very high.
Otherwise, no matter how strong his counter-tracking ability was, he would have been caught or even killed long ago in the face of the well-trained official investigation team, who were determined to pursue him with all their might.
"Is today the perfect time to close the net?" Li Jiuhe was itching to act.
Xu Wei nodded: "We'll be responsible for assisting my senior brother Gao Jingting in our group later."
"Gao Jingting?"
"He is the nemesis of this tracker because he has the ability to temporarily sever any connection between events, and it is not easy to detect," Xu Wei explained. "The tracker is currently carrying out his operation, but he does not know that the causal connection of this operation has been severed by Senior Brother Gao."
Li Jiuhe's pupils contracted: "They actually have such a bizarre ability?"
"It's similar to your ability to define game missions!" Xu Wei said with a smile. "Your missions are all purely ability-oriented, unlike those of us ordinary sequence users."
"Are there ordinary and special Sequence Users?" Li Jiuhe seized the opportunity to ask, "So what is your ability?"
"Of course we'll split it." Xu Wei patted the flute pouch hanging at her waist. "I am a bone flute player. This flute is made from human bones. You should have heard its sound before."
