06 Mysterious Events(1/2)

In an open-air cafe in Manaus, a heart of the Amazon jungle, Zhao Jue wore a beige casual suit, sun hat and sunglasses, sitting drinking coffee while looking at his cell phone, looking like an ordinary tourist.

Zhao Jue lowered his head and stared at the screen, his lips curled up from time to time, showing a smile, as if he was watching some interesting video.

The opposite of this cafe is a small hotel. There is a station next to the hotel. Many tourists will get on the bus to visit the jungle, which is very lively.

Zhao Jue looked at the screen for a while, looked up, and looked in the direction of the station. In the distance, a van was driving in. This kind of van was a common means of transportation for locals to carry passengers.

Zhao Jue sent a text message to Bai Ye, and the text message had only two words - here it is here.

The van stopped, the driver jumped out of the car and opened the door, and several tourists walked down. The weather in Amazon was stuffy, hot and humid, and most of the tourists were sweating profusely.

After several travelers jumped out of the car with big bags and cameras, one of them carried a briefcase, wearing a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses. It was estimated that the middle-aged man in his fifties walked down. Because he was slightly fat, he had a lot of effort when he got out of the car. He put down his briefcase and took out a handkerchief. He took off his hat and glasses and carefully wiped his sweat.

After breathing a sigh of relief, the fat uncle picked up his briefcase and walked straight towards the cafe.

"Hi! Rick!"

The fat uncle greeted the cafe owner, a black middle-aged man.

The boss stared at him for a while and was surprised, "Mr Zhang?"

The fat uncle nodded, "Long time no see."

The boss's expression of surprise did not ease at all. He shook his head and looked at the fat old man who walked up to him, "God, are you cursed? Why aren't you old?"

The fat uncle, known as Mr. Zhang, smiled and pointed at his gray hair, "Is this called immortality?"

"No..." The cafe owner waved his hand, "I mean, you were like this when I first met you. I was still a child at that time... Now my child is so old, you actually..."

As we were chatting, a hustle and bustle came from afar. Two military jeeps, carrying rolling dust, broke into the parking lot in a very arrogant manner. After the car stopped, eight strong men jumped down. These people were all wearing archaeological team clothes, but in terms of figure and temperament, they did not look like archaeologists, but more like soldiers. These people were not locals, carrying heavy backpacks, and were a little noisy.

The leader is a burly middle-aged white man. He has thick hair spray to fix his short hair upside down. I don’t know how much hair spray I used, and it looks like a steel needle.

He was obviously the leader of the group of people. After getting off the car, he lit a cigarette and saw the fat uncle who was waving to them in the cafe. He nodded, gave a wink at the group of people behind him, and everyone walked towards the cafe.

The fat uncle asked Rick, "Is there any guide? Those who are willing to enter the jungle."

Rick frowned and looked at the group of archaeological teams that did not look like the archaeological team. In his experience, these people were all a group of mercenaries no matter how they looked at them.

"Help me find two locals who are familiar with the jungle." The fat uncle took out a roll of US dollars from his pants pocket and handed it to Rick, "The price is easy to negotiate."

The boss nodded, went inside and called him to contact the guide.

The fat uncle warmly greeted and hugged the "mercenary" leader, calling him "Eddie".

Zhao Jue sat there, picked up the coffee and took a sip. At the same time, the cell phone placed on the table vibrated.

Zhao Jue picked up his cell phone and it was a text message from Zhan Zhao.

Several photos of bugs were taken in the text message.

Zhao Jue smiled slightly and flipped the text message upwards... A photo that Zhan Zhao sent to him yesterday appeared. In the photo, there was a gray-haired middle-aged uncle in his fifties wearing glasses. He was slightly fat and looked exactly the same as the Mr. Zhang who greeted the mercenary in front of him.

Below the photo is what Zhan Zhao asked him - this is called Xia Rui and Zhang Rui, do you know him?

Zhao Jue’s answer is—I don’t know each other.

After looking at the insect photos for a while, Zhao Jue replied with a few words, then deleted the text message with a smile, put away his phone, and stood up.

"Have everyone arrived?" Eddie asked Mr. Zhang.

"There is another person, I hired an expert...I...ah!"

The fat uncle was looking at an expert who had made an appointment with him. At first glance, he saw Zhao Jue walking towards him.

Zhao Jue raised his hand slightly at him, as if he was saying hello. The beige suit jacket was slung on his arm. It was so hot that he could not see any embarrassment. He was as casual as if he was going to attend a concert.

"Hey, old friend." Zhao Jue walked forward and reached out to put his hand on Mr's shoulder.

The fat uncle stiffened his body and opened his mouth wide to look at Zhao Jue, "Zhao...Zhao..."

Eddie asked Zhao Jue, "Are you that expert?"

Zhao Jue smiled slightly, "You can call me Dr. Zhao."

As he said that, he patted Mr's hand on his shoulder twice, and in an instant, the fat uncle's face turned pale.

Zhao Jue withdrew his hand, held Eddie's hand in both hands, and shook it twice. It seemed very polite, "I admire you for a long time."

Eddie picked the corner of her mouth and shrugged, "We are only responsible for protecting you safety. If there is an extra situation, you will need to add money."

Zhao Jue smiled and nodded, "That natural."

Eddie turned his head to his subordinates and went to unload the equipment together to prepare to enter the jungle.

Zhao Jue continued to chat with "Mr Zhang".

Zhao Jue whispered in his ear, "Zhang Rui, long time no see you, you worm stick."

"Zhao Jue!" Zhang Rui held his throat, "You...what did you do to me?"

Zhao Jue blinked, reached out and patted his stomach three times, "You~ say~"

Zhang Rui gasped, "You... don't do anything randomly! I! I hired a mercenary, they will..."

Zhao Jue suddenly reached out and pointed behind him.

Zhang Rui turned around and saw the coffee shop owner Rick and two people walking out, one was a local and the other was Bai Ye.

When Zhang Rui saw Bai Ye, his face turned pale, and Zhao Jue asked him in a low voice, "You only have eight mercenaries, and eighty mercenaries may not be enough, right?"

Zhang Rui looked back at Zhao Jue with a look of dismay, "What do you want?"

Zhao Jue smiled slightly, "Look for someone."

"Who...who?"

"You know." Zhao Jue patted his head, "Aren't you just going to find him? I!"

Zhang Rui's head was hanging down, and Zhao Jue pinched his chubby cheeks and shook it, "Be obedient."

Bai Ye's arrival aroused the vigilance of several mercenaries.

Eddie asked Zhang Rui, "Why aren't both guides local?"

Zhao Jue raised his hand, "I brought him."

Eddie seemed to want to say something, but Zhao Jue waved his hand at him, as if giving an order, "You can go into the forest."

Unexpectedly, Eddie seemed to have a very good temper and nodded obediently, "Yes."

After saying that, he called his subordinates to prepare to enter the jungle.

Eddie's subordinates looked at his boss with some confusion and then at Zhao Jue. They were all suspicious. Why did Eddie, who was irritated, listen to this person so much?

Zhang Rui sighed, took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, while looking at Zhao Jue sadly, "You monster..."

"Each of each other." Zhao Jue sneered and pulled Zhang Rui's cheek into the forest.

Bai Ye looked at the situation around him and followed him in.

...

In the SCI office, Zhan Zhao held his chin and stared at the slowly moving red dot on the phone screen, distracted.

He sent a picture of the insect to Zhao Jue, but Zhao Jue gave him an inexplicable reply, "keepgoing".

Zhan Zhao said "tsk" and said, "What does that long-haired sperm mean? Should he ask him to continue investigating? Or should he insist on it?"

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and Zhao Hu ran in, "It's over! First-level alarm!"

Everyone else in the office looked up and saw Zhao Hu behind him. Bao Ju walked in with great momentum, "Why would the director of the Natural Museum call me to complain to me that you have demolished the exhibition hall that he will open tomorrow?"

Everyone lowered their heads tacitly and glanced at the two dogs lying on the ground and napping.

After the mission was over, many dogs were picked up by the owners of each family, only Dumbu and Momoda were still there. Both parents were in a meeting and had to wait a while before picking up the children.

Dumbu and Momoda sat up and shook their tails at Baoju.

Baoju stared at the two dogs for a while, and seemed to be a little relieved. He asked Bai Yutang, "Have you caught the stolen insects?"

Bai Yutang nodded and Bai Chi handed over the background information of the two to Baoju.

"Sky Technology Company...ceo..." Bao Director frowned, "The boss took the initiative to steal things?"

"This technology company has only four employees. These two kids are the founders, and the other two, one is secret techniques and the other is cleaning." Jiang Ping printed out the information of the company, "But these two kids are quite powerful and make a lot of money every year."

"Have you reviewed it?" Bao Director asked Bai Yutang.

"I asked, they were collecting money and doing business. Someone offered a high price to ask them to go to major nature museums to steal specimens of rare insects." Bai Yutang took a catalogue to Baoju. "These are the list of projects they stole so far. They did the previous series of theft cases of nature museums."

"Where is the client?" asked Director Bao.

"It is said that he is a man who calls himself Mr. Zhang. Every time he trades online, buyers place orders online. After they steal the bug, they send express delivery and buyers pay electronically."

"So you broke up most of the exhibition hall and caught two thieves who stole insects, and there was no further information?" Bao Ju looked straight, "Don't you say that anyone wants to destroy the world? Where are people?"

Bai Yutang looked at Gongsun, Chen Yin, who was holding a cup of milk tea on the side?

Gongsun blinked and ran away long ago.

Bao Zheng said a few words and found that something seemed to be missing. He thought about it - yes, why didn't anyone talk back today?

Everyone in the office looked at Zhan Zhao, who was holding his chin at the table with curiosity.
