Four days after the explosion at Ji University Building, in the Ancheng Base Cold Storage.
The work here primarily involves storing Sheng Er's blood, and aside from the monthly transportation, the cold storage staff mainly monitor the temperature control equipment to prevent malfunctions. In simple terms, it’s an extremely relaxed job, especially considering the Population Crisis; there are only a little over ten employees in this vast cold storage facility.
They continue their normal routines, sipping tea, reading newspapers, and chatting with each other, occasionally glancing at the equipment. As long as there are no alarms from the temperature control devices, they keep on talking.
However, their conversations often drift beyond the scope of their work: the criminals are just too cunning, leaving no clues behind. Indeed, the staff at Ji University Building had spent three days investigating and had only narrowed it down to two suspects, but neither had shown any movement so far. Could they have misjudged?
In any case, there are still three days left, Old Zhang. Let’s check the interior of the cold storage again. Although we’ve already gone through it several times, we can’t afford to overlook anything.
A dozen officers dressed as cold storage workers discussed the Explosive Offender among themselves. Ancheng was also planning to deploy more personnel for strict surveillance. However, considering that a large presence might intimidate the criminal and deter them from acting, capturing them could become even more difficult. Thus, they decided to assign only the most professional officers for covert operations.
In a corner sat a Cold Storage Engineer shivering in fear, silently lamenting his bad luck for being assigned such a job. While working in a cold storage facility might be easygoing, it was necessary to have a professional on hand to handle any equipment issues that might arise. So he was that unfortunate soul forced to stay on duty.
"Hey, the Fourth Arc is kicking off with the main plot!"
"Huh? How is this already the main plot? Isn’t the main plot about Lin Yuanliang and Meng Ling?"
"The interactions between Lu Youyou and Xu Lie at the start of the Third Arc were quite interesting. Later on, Lin Yuanliang and Meng Ling just drag things out while Lin Yuanliang desperately tries to explain that he doesn’t like Lu Youyou. He looks like he has a stomachache; Xu Lie's storyline is much more engaging!"
"Indeed, compared to what Xu Lie is up to, Lin Yuanliang and Meng Ling's youth romance seems rather mundane."
"From what we can see now, it looks like the police are disguising themselves as cold storage workers to lure Xu Lie in. But with so few people around, is that really safe?"
Danmaku's doubts were soon answered. The camera followed two officers inspecting the interior of the cold storage for just a second before shifting focus to their backs as they moved forward toward the outer perimeter of the building.
The scene changed to show two officers on the rooftop of the building using infrared binoculars for surveillance.
At the designated contact time, the officer with the telescope remained still, while a colleague glanced at his watch and then grabbed the walkie-talkie. "No abnormalities in the team."
"Received." The scene shifted to a large room inside the building, which had been urgently converted into a command center.
The operator was sequentially responding to three teams.
"The Cold Storage really has very few people; most of the police are stationed outside, waiting for something to happen."
"Man, this is serious. I'm starting to worry about Xu Lie. The Male Second Lead won't get caught in the Fourth Arc, will he?"
"Impossible. It's still that same logic; if the Fourth Arc gets caught, how can they continue filming?"
After receiving the fixed reports from the three surveillance teams, the person in charge let out a long sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose to relieve his fatigue. "How's it going over there?"
An assistant handed him a cup of steaming tea that was surrounded by a faint mist. "The team reports as usual; no anomalies."
