Crime Hunt Files: Bloody Angel

He Wei took out his mobile phone and searched for the brand. It turned out that not only had he never seen it in supermarkets, but even on the omnipotent Internet, there were only a few websites where he could buy it.

He Wei found the official website of the seasoning factory and clicked on it.

There are only two kinds of seasonings among all the products, one is the spicy beef oil-flavored hot pot base, and the other is a seasoning specially provided for Malatang restaurants.

Judging from the minimum order quantity of 100, the official website only accepts bulk orders from merchants and refuses private purchases.

No wonder I've never seen this brand in supermarkets.

"The no-name seasoning factory installed such a high-level anti-leakage system. Don't tell me the reason is that the factory director inherited his grandmother's "exclusive secret recipe." Nie Kaiyu stared at the screen, complaining while feeding the salty and crispy potato chips into Kuriyama Ryo's mouth.

Bai Ji'an turned sideways and said to Kuriyama Ryo, "Can you crack it?"

Kuriyama Ryo tapped the keyboard tentatively. After a while, he frowned and said, "It's possible, but there's a risk of being discovered."

"Forget it then." Bai Ji'an shook his head. "We can't alert the enemy before we find out what's going on inside."

"What should we do then?" Nie Kaiyu seemed to have sensed Bai Ji'an's next plan. "You two are not planning to keep hovering with the drone until you find a clue, are you?"

"Hovering all the time? The machine doesn't have that much power."

Bai Ji'an and Kuriyama Ryoda cooperated, Ladybug was responsible for infiltration, and the mini drone was keeping watch over the factory.

The seasoning factory is not large. When you enter from the main gate, there are parking spaces on the left and a security booth on the right.

Walking into the courtyard, there are two long factory buildings of similar size on the east and west sides, and a small three-story office building on the north side.

The seven-spotted ladybug entered from above the main gate. The moment it passed the security booth, Ryo Kuriyama took a screenshot and enlarged the scene.

"There's a person on duty inside the security booth. He's..." Kuriyama Ryo paused, looking a little unbelievable: "He's sleeping."

Bai Jianan glanced at the fifty-something security guard and said without surprise, "At this age, if he doesn't do night watch or cleaning, he's a security guard. He's probably a relative of a factory leader, and he's here to get the salary and enjoy his old age."

After all, the monitoring equipment installed inside and outside the factory is so easy to use that not only an old man, but even ten young and strong security guards would have to stand aside.

"Go to the factory building on the left first." Bai Ji'an reminded, "Pay attention to the surroundings and check if there are any gaps in the windows and doors that can be used to sneak in."

Bai Ji'an's all-black mini drone was located at a 45-degree angle behind the seven-spotted ladybug, overlooking everything around it, with Kuriyama Ryo's drone as the center.

He Wei sat side by side with Bai Jianan. Both of them stared at the screen intently, not daring to blink easily.

Nie Kaiyu even mistook the seven-spotted ladybug for Ryo Kuriyama. He was so nervous that he held his breath unconsciously and silently clenched his trembling fingertips into his palms.

Ryo Kuriyama is an expert at flying drones.

He quickly found the window at the top of the factory building and searched forward along the gap. In the meantime, he did not forget to point the camera at the factory to take pictures.

The dim factory was deserted, and all the machines for mixing, grinding, drying and packaging had stopped working. Plastic boxes of the same size were piled up in the corners, all filled with spicy beef oil-flavored hot pot base that could not be bought in supermarkets or online.

Bai Ji'an frowned as he looked at the hot pot base.

Just now, He Wei did see two kinds of seasonings on the official website. In addition to the hot pot base produced in the factory on the east side, there is also a seasoning specially supplied to Malatang restaurants.

"It's cool." Bai Ji'an said, "Go west."

With Bai Ji'an's drone checking the left and right for him, Kuriyama Ryo controlled the ladybug and flew straight to the opposite side.

as predicted.

The facilities in the west factory are exactly the same as those in the east.

The only difference is that the seasoning lying in the corner instead of the hot pot base is the seasoning specially provided by the Malatang restaurant.

"so easy."

But the simpler it is inside, the more complicated it is outside with its highly sophisticated surveillance equipment to prevent leaks.

"Go to the office building."

Kuriyama Ryo nodded, and just as he was about to control the seven-spotted ladybug, He Wei suddenly said, "Don't move."

Bai Ji'an and Kuriyama Ryo were startled by him.

"Did you hear anything?"

The three of them listened attentively for a moment, then shook their heads.

"No." He Wei turned his head and looked at Bai Ji'an seriously, "Listen to me and come back."

Li Shanliang waited in a daze for Bai Jian'an's order until he nodded.

The two were confused and were about to retreat, but the next second, a ghostly cry was heard over the dark factory compound.

Kuriyama Ryo moved the camera upwards, and in an instant, the cold waning moon was swallowed up by a black shadow that suddenly rushed in!

Then, there was another deep and long ghost cry!

Bai Ji'an controlled the drone and hovered under the eaves.

The camera lens was blocked by the wavy eaves, so he had no choice but to take the risk and slowly move the drone downwards.

Until the scene reappeared, a large brown bird with a round head and long wings flapped its wings and stared at the ladybug with its eyes shaped like black holes.

It was like a flash of lightning passing by, so fast that Kuriyama Ryo didn't have time to react.

His screen went black.

He turned to look at Bai Jian'an's screen and saw that the ladybug was not shot down but swallowed by it.

……

The battle was won, and the dark brown bird turned and flew to the roof of the office building, standing on the eaves with its back facing the factory yard.

Slowly, it twisted its head like a lifeless machine.

Little by little, until it turns 180 degrees and the front face and back are in the same direction.

It flickered its bottomless eagle eyes slightly, looking down intently at everything it saw.

"It's actually an owl." Nie Kaiyu couldn't believe it. "Shouldn't an owl stay in the forest? How come it's here?"

"They were raised in the factory." Bai Jianan said with certainty.

The gray forest owl, which hides during the day and comes out at night and whose habitat is mainly dense forests, suddenly appears here, attacks Kuriyama Ryo's drone, and then stands firmly on the highest point of the factory.

The purpose of training it is clear.

"Not only are there super-high-level monitoring equipment, but they also specially trained an owl to guard the compound..." Kuriyama Ryo murmured, "This is definitely not simple."

Nie Kaiyu knew that Kuriyama Ryo felt sorry for the ladybug that had been following him for a long time, and that uniquely shaped drone also played an important role in his kidnapping.

Nie Kaiyu gently touched the back of Kuriyama Ryo's neck and consoled him, "I'll buy you an identical one when we get home."

Kuriyama Ryo was stunned for a moment, then revealed a meaningful smile.

Bai Ji'an hid the drone under the eaves.

At this time, the entire factory was under the surveillance of this gray forest owl, and he dared not act rashly.

Is this all he can do until the drone's battery runs out?

"Hide well and wait for me."

As he spoke, He Wei stood up and took two steps forward.

He faced the direction of the factory, put his half-clenched fist to his lips, and blew the whistle.
