Enchanting His Heart: His Little Fox

Chapter 385 - 384: Tang Si Is Missing?

The previously quiet and odorless duty room now seemed to have a hint of smoke.

The police officer, who had been drowsy after staying up all night, woke up at this moment: "Is someone smoking?"

Tang Si was sitting nearby, eyes on the monitor, without speaking.

The officers arriving for the early shift came one after another, greeting each other.

"Hmm? Why does the duty room have a strange smell today?"

"Right? I smell it too."

"Boss, did you smell it?" A policeman was about to ask Tang Si.

But he found that the man who had been sitting there was already gone.

"???"

In a state of confusion.

Shouts came from outside: "The holding room is on fire!"

"What?! We need to go and see."

...

The sky was still dim, and the flames were particularly noticeable in this weather, with thick smoke billowing, covering the sky.

The fire brigade arrived quickly.

...

"Gu Nanjiu has escaped!"

"Escaped?!"

"Where’s the boss?!"

"I don’t know."

"Where did Captain Tang go!"

"Call the boss!"

"Can’t get through at all, can’t contact him, where has he gone?"

"What about you guys, can’t get through either?"

"No, can’t contact him, just a moment ago he was in the duty room, now suddenly everyone’s gone."

"Forget it, call quickly, notify Director Cheng to come over."

The scene was extremely chaotic.

...

Someone being transferred from the prison to the criminal investigation branch has escaped, this is a major responsibility.

Director Cheng was furious, demanding that they must be found, and a team was formed to investigate the fire.

"Zhou Liang! Where has Zhou Liang gone again?" Director Cheng angrily asked without seeing a trace of Zhou Liang.

"I-I don’t know. Yesterday, I heard he worked overtime and didn’t go home, maybe he’s gone home to sleep by now?"

Director Cheng: "Go call him, tell him to come over immediately."

Soon the person making the telephone call reported back.

"Zhou Liang’s phone isn’t reachable either, don’t know where he’s gone."

Director Cheng took a deep breath, looking very upset, glaring at Ningxia Chuan: "What is going on with your team? The captain can’t find the team members, and the team members aren’t here?"

Director Cheng angrily pointed towards the surveillance room: "Also, why was there a segment of surveillance missing when Tang Si went in to interrogate Gu Nanjiu yesterday?"

Ningxia Chuan: "The monitoring suddenly had issues, I don’t know why."

"Bang!" Director Cheng slammed the table hard, shouting loudly: "Why would there be issues? And why at that particular time?!"

Ningxia Chuan wore an expressionless look, slightly lowering his eyebrows, lightly pursing his thin lips, holding a pen in his hand, he replied unhurriedly: "That should be asked to the team programmer, in this regard, I’m not a specialist."

"Ningxia Chuan!"

"Here."

"You...!" Director Cheng was extremely angry: "Your entire team is of the same temperament, all learned from Tang Si’s bad temper! Depending on him to cover you, is it? Will you only be happy if you drive me insane?"

He was almost gnashing his teeth: "With such an incident, the higher-ups will come to investigate. Seeing that segment of surveillance missing, they will hold us accountable, you know that?! I trust you are well aware of that!"

Just at that segment of surveillance was missing, and just at that same time, the person detained has escaped, anyone would suspect that the missing surveillance segment was when Tang Si and Gu Nanjiu were plotting a jailbreak.

Even if that’s not the truth, the one implicated should come out and explain, but now Tang Si has disappeared.

There wasn’t even any trace of him on the surveillance on which place he went, the last place he vanished was the restroom.

Tang Si must have gone from the direction of the restroom because the back of the restroom had no surveillance.

He was familiar with the area, effortlessly avoiding the surrounding surveillance.

"Quickly go find both of them and bring them back to me! This situation needs an explanation." Director Cheng sternly knocked the table.

"Pan Juanfeng, you follow up on this situation and investigate it thoroughly."

"Ningxia Chuan, you stay out of this, find Tang Si and Zhou Liang for me!"

"Yes."

...

For a time, the entire city bureau turned into utter chaos.

Tang Si and Zhou Liang were unreachable, Ningxia Chuan made several calls, but still couldn’t reach them.

...

Office.

"Captain Lu, looking for me about something?" Director Cheng had just returned to the office and ran into Lu Yan.

"Yes." Lu Yan said, standing there in his fireman’s uniform: "I’ll give you a verbal report on the specific cause of the fire."

"I will continue to send a report your way later."

Lu Yan was very serious and earnest: "The cause of the fire was the accumulation of waste boxes, and the position of the waste boxes was right in front of the door where the prisoners were held, causing flammable materials to ignite."

"At the same time, gasoline was found nearby, but strangely, the gasoline wasn’t ignited, instead, it was well protected."

"I have finished what I wanted to say." Lu Yan glanced at his watch: "I need to return to the team, I have another school lecture at nine in the morning."

Director Cheng nodded: "Go ahead, today’s work has been hard on you."

Lu Yan gave a smile: "It’s expected."

Before leaving, Lu Yan glanced back at Director Cheng and left a remark: "I don’t know what the situation is internally, but Tang Si is always someone you can trust the most."

...

Song Yi got up very early today.

Because Gu Chu had invited her to meet, at a cafe in the city center, quite close.

She dressed herself up a little, then headed out, wearing a dress inside, a coat on the outside, and her hair cascading down.

Appearing elegant and dignified, without losing the soft charm of a woman, exuding an aura of aloofness and nobility.

Just as she was about to leave, Fu Jingsheng called.

"There are still quite a lot of people talking about Tang Si’s situation online, but I’ve got it under control, do you want to come out and treat me to a meal?"

Song Yi: "Not free today, another day."

Fu Jingsheng: "What are you up to?"

"I’m meeting someone, have something to do today, bye."

"Doo doo doo—" Fu Jingsheng was about to say something when the call was hung up.

He stared at the phone, his brow and eyes looking quite arrogant, couldn’t help but chuckle: "You’re the only one who dares to hang up on me, heartless."

...

Cafe.

Gu Chu was dressed in black, coldly stepping in with high heels.

Someone immediately came over to greet her: "Miss Gu, your private room is ready."

Gu Chu nodded, winding her way into the private room.

When Song Yi arrived, she too was led into this private room.

The private room wasn’t large, accommodating two people, seemingly tailor-made for best friends, suitable for whispered secrets, chit-chatting about topics not meant for public ears.

The two sat down face to face.

Song Yi got straight to the point: "What couldn’t you say in front of Tang Si yesterday?"
