Chapter 1021: A Failure to Lure
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
It was confirmed that the phone call was from Elder You. Xia Bingbao nodded to the a.s.sistant next to him. The a.s.sistant immediately connected to the computer network and began to check where the phone call was coming from.
After Xia Bingbao got the approval from the higher-ups, and after the meeting was conducted to look into it, they decided to send him a technical expert, who was this a.s.sistant. He could ask other personnel from the local police to cooperate with the capture of Elder You.
“I… I have been a little unwell these days, so there has been no action. Tonight, I will finish the task!” said Chen Afu in fear and trepidation.
Although Chen Afu’s tone was somewhat abnormal, Elder You didn’t care. He thought that Chen Afu was afraid of him. He sneered aloud, “Well, this is what you said. Tonight, if you still can’t get one fresh corpse, I will use you to practice my Sinister Voodoo!”
After that, he hung up the phone.
“Where is the call coming from?” Xia Bingbao asked the a.s.sistant.
“I can’t find it. The other party is very smart. He didn’t use a landline phone or mobile phone, but a Skype-like VoIP phone,” said the a.s.sistant as he shook his head.
“Can’t you find the user’s IP address?” Xia Bingbao still wasn’t willing to give up.
“I found it, but it is a foreign IP address. He must have used a proxy server. I don’t know how many layers of proxy servers he used,” said the a.s.sistant helplessly.
Xia Bingbao saw that the a.s.sistant said this, and although he was unwilling, he couldn’t help it. However, if Elder You were caught so easily, then he would not be the sly behind-the-scenes culprit!
It would also be unnecessary to call the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, and the local police could have handled it. Previously, Xia Bingbao investigated the mobile phone number of Elder You stored in Chen Afu’s mobile phone and found that it was also transferred to an overseas mobile phone number after several transfers.
“Everything goes according to the plan.” Xia Bingbao nodded and commanded.
Once Xia Bingbao gave the order, each department immediately started to work. The police side was lead by Xia Xue, lying low and preparing for the ambush at the pre-set location.
“Ready?” Xia Bingbao sat in the command car at a distance, remotely maneuvering everything outside.
“Ready.” There was a reply on the intercom.
“Okay, prepare to move!” Xia Bingbao ordered.
A large truck slowly started and headed to the intended location. The truck driver was disguised by the police and came to the designated place. The truck suddenly turned and directly hit the isolation belt near the intersection.
Because the speed and orientation of the impact were calculated beforehand, the driver didn’t suffer any harm, but the outside of the truck looked very damaged.
The driver punctured the blood bag that had already been prepared and sprayed the blood on his body at the moment of the car crash. He then fell on the steering wheel, motionless as if he were a dead person.
All of this was simulated according to a real situation, and they dared not have the slightest neglect. G.o.d knows if Elder You would be aware of it or not, so every step had to be very real.
At this time, Chen Afu appeared and crept to the location of the big truck. He looked at the cab and a.s.sessed for a long time. Then he picked up the phone and dialed Elder You’s phone number.
“h.e.l.lo. Elder You, this is Chen Afu!” said Chen Afu with a low voice.
“It’s you. How is it? Is the mission completed?” Elder You’s voice asked without any emotion.
” En , I just did it at the intersection of x.x.x Road and x.x.x Avenue!” said Chen Afu quickly.
“Okay, I got it.” Elder You sneered twice. “Consider your life saved, kid!”
Hanging up the phone, Chen Afu breathed a sigh of relief. The task was completed, and he was almost scared to death. Chen Afu turned around and returned to Xia Bingbao’s car in the distance.
“Well, I have completed the task. The thing you promised me before, can you commit to it?” said Chen Afu with a sigh of relief.
“As long as you can cooperate with us to do research, we can spare you, but you will be imprisoned for life,” said Xia Bingbao.
“It doesn’t matter.” Chen Afu didn’t care. “As long as you don’t hand me to that Elder You, you can do whatever. Even if I die, a quick one would be good.”
Xia Bingbao nodded and didn’t pay attention to Chen Afu anymore, but he focused on the scene of the car accident, waiting for the appearance of Elder You.
Time slipped away and in a blink of an eye, half an hour had pa.s.sed, but no one came. Xia Bingbao was a little anxious and asked Chen Afu, “How long does it take for him to appear after you call each time?”
“I don’t know this. After I finished the matter, I left immediately. I dared not to stay at the scene. If I am discovered by the police, I would be taken away!” said Chen Afu.
Xia Bingbao didn’t say anything after listening. He knew that Chen Afu wouldn’t deceive him, so what Chen Afu said now was true. He didn’t know when Elder You would appear.
However, according to common sense, Elder You should come here as soon as possible. The slower he was, the greater the danger. Because on a certain road section, it was impossible to have no cars pa.s.sing by. As long as a car pa.s.sed by and a car accident was seen, it would be reported to the police. The police would arrive immediately. That way, Elder You would have no chance, right?
There was nothing wrong with Xia Bingbao’s thought! Elder You did come here as soon as possible after receiving the call! However, after he arrived here, he did not take action and did not appear near the scene of the car accident.
Elder You sneered twice and said disdainfully, “With you bunch of waste, can you catch me? It’s too self-effacing! Don’t think that catching Chen Afu could lure me out! You are too naive! Jie jie jie jie jie…”
There were two reasons why Elder You came here and noticed an abnormality.
First, he was originally someone who used voodoo. Like Zhang Zhishen, he had an extremely keen sense of other people who used it. Chen Afu was also considered someone who partially used voodoo, and it was also Elder You who personally taught him.
So, as soon as Elder You arrived, he noticed Chen Afu’s breath! Chen Afu was still near here. He hadn’t left!
With this doubt, Elder You was more cautious. Second, his Sinister Voodoo had a strong sense of the dead! At this moment, the Sinister Voodoo on his body had no reaction. That was to say, there was no corpse in the truck! It was a living person posing!
With these two reasons, Elder You immediately realized that this was a trap! Chen Afu was caught by the police, and they wanted to lure him out through Chen Afu!
If he were so easy to be fooled, then Elder You couldn’t do anything major. Observing coldly at the nearby terrain, Elder You quickly found someone in ambush nearby.
It seemed that Chen Afu was going to give up. Elder You sighed and felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. He didn’t know who in the police force was so capable that he actually could catch Chen Afu!
You destroyed my big plan. If I learn who it is, I will not spare this person ! Elder You thought fiercely.
However, the most important thing now was to leave here. His Sinister Voodoo had not yet been mastered. His body was still flesh and blood, and he was still afraid of the police’s weapons.
No matter how strong I am, I will still probably be shot badly. But it doesn’t matter. When my Sinister Voodoo is mastered, I won’t be afraid anymore. At that time, can’t I do whatever I want?
Thinking of this, Elder You suppressed the anger in his heart and instantly disappeared into the night.
Over here, Xia Bingbao waited for more than an hour, but he still did not see any sign of Elder You. Suddenly, he was anxious, and an ominous premonition poured into his heart!
Has my plan been discovered by the other party ? Xia Bingbao suddenly had a cold sweat. It is not impossible, but it is very possible! Elder You is very extraordinary and very evil. Moreover, many things can’t be measured by common sense. So, it is very reasonable for Elder You to have discovered my plan!
However, Xia Bingbao still couldn’t give up until he was in complete despair, although his mind also understood that hope was getting dimmer. Elder You probably would not come, but until the last moment, Xia Bingbao still insisted.
The sun rose slightly. Not sure after how long, but Xia Bingbao was finally disappointed. Seeing that it was going to be daytime, this time Elder You was really not coming!
This was a hindrance to traffic. When it came to commuting time, it would affect the normal flow of traffic. Xia Bingbao had no choice but to give a command to others, “Let’s all withdraw. Don’t wait anymore!”
Xia Bingbao also understood that Elder You must have discovered his plan. Although he did not know how Elder You figured it out, a failure was a failure. And with this failure, the next time Xia Bingbao wanted to lure him again, it would be even harder!
It could be said that there was almost no hope! However, the Supernatural Investigation Bureau didn’t only have this mysterious case. These kinds of cases couldn’t be examined with common sense.
“Brother, are we just giving up like that?” Xia Xue went to Xia Bingbao’s command car, looked at the somewhat dispirited Xia Bingbao and hurriedly asked.
“What else can I do?” said Xia Bingbao with a wry smile. “It was very difficult to catch this Chen Afu. If it weren’t for Yang Ming’s partic.i.p.ation, we couldn’t even catch him! He’s just an insignificant p.a.w.n, yet it is already so difficult. Then the power of the boss behind him can only be imagined!”
Xia Xue was just emotional for a moment. Now listening to Xia Bingbao’s words, she also remained silent. Yes, just Chen Afu, this one person, has already caused a lot of trouble. I have been investigating for so long, but there was no result. If it weren’t for Yang Ming, probably now, Chen Afu would still be at large!
