Volume 14: Devastation Chapter 689: Locking on the Target
…
Three days later.
Thanks to the efforts of intelligence personnel from the Joint Parliamentary Group, the Security Bureau, and the Crisis Management Section, the scope of the investigation was finally narrowed down to a medium-sized economic development zone in the Southern Fifth District.
Judging from the clues we have obtained so far, the dream date preparations and silver vein grass were processed here and then transported to the slums in the South Tenth District and distributed to the remnants of the heretical sects.
As for the other clue of weapons and mechas, they were not able to be traced further: about two-thirds of the weapons used by the attackers were unregistered, made up of defective parts, and the remaining one-third that could be traced back to the registration number were basically the weapons lost or damaged by the field troops during combat... At present, the field corps suffered a devastating blow at the ruins of the ancient bronze city, and it has become very difficult to trace the origin of this batch of weapons. As for the engineering mecha, it belonged to a small construction company that was completely evaporated in the Alexander incident. Including the boss and temporary workers, there were only twelve people in the company, and all twelve people died in the disaster.
There is no evidence of death.
Only in this economic development zone quietly surrounded by security agents, a large amount of sedatives with "amomobarbital" as the main ingredient were found in the cargo entry and exit records. Although the control of this sedative is not as strict as Meng Zao, it is also on the Ark's official drug control list... A dosage of 6,000 units, even if the personnel responsible for inspection at the checkpoint accepted bribes from the other party, they dared not conceal this information.
All he could do was to put the "sample" provided by the other party into the testing instrument, rather than conducting a random inspection as required by regulations.
Of course, the "sample" provided by the other party would not be the Mengzao preparation, but a "amomobarbital" sedative that met transportation standards.
The reason why the inspectors dared to accept bribes was very simple: this batch of supplies was sent to the disaster-stricken areas, and currently due to lack of manpower, the management and distribution of supplies in the disaster-stricken areas were very chaotic. The inspectors who were lucky enough thought that even if there was a problem with this batch of sedatives, it would be difficult to trace it back to him.
But he didn't guess that this was a batch of Mengzao preparations to be provided to the remnants of the heretical sect - the bribed inspector thought that this was just a batch of expired inferior medicines, which were provided to the disaster-stricken areas as qualified medicines... This kind of thing was not uncommon before Ke Lan shot Hinata Yuji. Especially for inspectors at important checkpoints like them, it was commonplace... Not only him, but his colleagues also made a lot of money in just a few days by relying on this gray income.
As for the company that transported this batch of Mengzao preparations, it was an unknown pharmaceutical company that also "evaporated" in the disaster.
Although the information filled in on the waybill was all false, one thing was certainly correct: this batch of dream date preparations and silver vein grass were shipped out from this economic development zone. Moreover, a few months ago, several batches of Alpha civilization artifacts discovered in the ruins were transported to this economic development zone. It seems that the raw materials for making this batch of dream date preparations should be mixed in with these ruins spoils.
(Note: Not all items found in the ruins will be sold to the Ark official. The official purchase requirements are actually very strict. Only those technological creations with special value or hard currency such as Nino Alloy and Energy Crystal will be purchased by the official. The vast majority of spoils are actually purchased by private organizations. In addition, except for some items specifically requested by the research institute, private companies are eligible to bid with the official, and the highest bidder wins.)
As for purchasing these ruins and spoils, there are several companies, and the security bureau is unable to determine the target for a while.
Ke Lan was sitting in the passenger seat of an inconspicuous hovercraft. As for the person driving on the left, it was Aya Breya, who had just "reshaped" her body not long ago and had been promoted to deputy director of the Security Bureau.
The car slowly drove into a small road on the east side of the economic development zone. Although the economic development zone was also affected by the disaster, the damage was almost negligible because it was far away and the quality of the buildings was relatively solid. The biggest change was that the three water drops on the left side of the word "Ji" on the signboard of "XX Economic Development Zone" at the entrance fell off, and it became "XX Jingqi Development Zone".
"You promoted me to the position of deputy director?" Aya asked while driving and looking straight ahead, "Why?"
Ke Lan turned her head to look at Aya - she was wearing a black baseball cap and her neat ponytail was sticking out of the hole at the back of the cap.
Looking down... She was wearing a solid color T-shirt with a slightly low neckline. From the neck to the collarbone to the upper chest wall, the white simulated skin looked like the real thing, even the pores and purple fake blood vessels were made... In terms of skin realism alone, it was even better than Demeter's "stand-in".
As for the organs on her chest, they are more than one cup size larger than before... Of course, the filling inside is no longer fat. On the left side is a highly sensitive infrared sensor and a miniature rocket launcher, and the right side is filled with high explosives and four small crystal energy bombs. After disassembling them, they can be directly thrown out as high-powered grenades. Between these equipment and the simulated skin on the surface, there is a layer of bulletproof silicone with Nino alloy mesh.
Ke Lan suspected more than once that there was a high probability that there were Stephen Chow fans like himself in the team that designed this cyborg prosthesis... The idea of installing a weapon in the chest made him think of the female killer in "From Beijing with Love" who had a flamethrower installed in her chest...
Of course, Aya also noticed Ke Lan's gaze on her body. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she thought about it and remained silent.
"If you want to be the director for fun, it's not impossible... The main thing is that you are the person I know best in the Security Bureau. If your authority is higher, it will be more convenient for me to get things done." While speaking, Ke Lan opened the glove box on the passenger seat and calmly took out a pocket submachine gun with a silencer from it.
In order not to alert the enemy, the security agents involved in this operation were disguised in their clothing, and Ke Lan and A Ya were no exception.
They were not afraid that the people hiding in this economic development zone would escape, but if the other party chose to commit suicide directly after getting wind of the news, then the clues that were connected with great difficulty would be broken again... This was not a situation that Ke Lan wanted to see.
