487 Unreliable Tech (1/2)
Professional tasks should be left to the professional. Within Han Chu's group, Anthony specialized in electronics. Ye Shuang had no specialty; she relied on her natural talent to close the gap between herself and a professional. In terms of experience, she was lacking. Han Chu had no problem, but his role was to assign tasks, to negotiate between everyone. None of the others had this talent. Han Chu could not spread himself thin to do so many things, so he focused his energy on the most important task. Therefore, it was only natural that they would need help from the outside.
”These are the people responsible for investigating the signal disturbance areas.” After entering the room, Han Chu assigned the tasks swiftly. ”Tony, send them a copy of the map that you've done.”
Anthony started to send the maps while pouting. Han Chu was still greeting the newcomers, filling them in with polite words. ”We can't print them out with the conditions provided, so you'll have to use the soft copy… How many of you came?”
The leading man started to laugh. ”Just the three of us. After all, this is not an official mission. If we send more people, there has to be a reason. And the three of us came on holiday leave, but if you do need a full team, we can arrange that with ease, provided that Uncle Han will fill in the paperwork later.”
”Three people… should be enough.” Han Chu was silent for a long time. He did not seem satisfied, but he would have to settle with it. ”Can you finish the investigation before tonight?”
The three shared the map. They looked at the phone, enlarging the map to study the locales. It was still the leading man who answered. ”Of the four areas, the underground cellars will be slightly difficult. We will have to draw the people inside away before we can start any investigation. As for the other three…”
”Will be much simpler?” Anthony chimed in.
”No.” The leading man smiled sadly. ”Unfortunately, that isn't the case. They will be much harder.”
Then he turned the map to Han Chu, proving that he was not just saying that. ”Two of them are public buildings. Guards or crowds might show up, and the other one is a well… Honestly, why is there a well? We'll probably need the night to fall before we can scope out these places.”
Han Chu looked at the map silently for a while. After he saw the marked out areas around Nature Village, he realized that these were indeed locations that were hard to infiltrate. ”Xiao Shuang.”
”Hmm?” Ye Shuang answered lazily. She felt like her body was winding down, and her mind was flagging.
”Do you have any ideas?”
”I still need to deal with Auntie Liu.” Ye Shuang held her chin with one hand on the table and tried to pull herself up. ”But if we create a commotion to gather all the villagers, the public buildings should be empty. Brother Han, do you have an idea?”
Han Chu gave it some thought. ”There has just been a murder here. If there's police who came to investigate, I believe that is quite believable. Now, we cannot be sure there are any dangerous people nearby, so we can use that excuse to gather all the villagers under the pretext of protecting them…”
”Then it'll make the investigation at the village head and Auntie Liu's place difficult,” Ye Shuang said. ”Xiao Su and I will head there for the people. If someone really wanted to intercept them, they would have changed their plans if the target was moving away from their home…”
