Film and Television: My Cheat Code is AI

Starting the next day, Yang Zhen and Ji Jie, Zhang Yang and Tian Rui, Ding Jian and Chang Baole split into three groups and began to investigate within a three-kilometer radius of the incident site. They investigated all repair companies, milkmen, and all other professions, and also recruited informants among these people. These informants were well-informed and traveled all over the city. They were given information and a sketch of Ma Hongsheng, and they could provide some clues.

After leaving a sales company, Yang Zhen and Ji Jie sighed and crossed the company off their notebooks.

"That's thirty-eight sounds."

Ji Jie didn't understand. "What?"

Yang Zhen said, "You sigh every time you investigate a company. We've already checked thirty-eight. If you keep sighing, we'll have thirty-nine."

Ji Jie said, "What time is it and you're still joking?" Ji Jie glanced at him, sighed, and continued walking forward.

"Why are you already annoyed after just one day? Do you think arresting people is so easy?" Yang Zhen said. "Today we're investigating state-owned enterprises; starting tomorrow, we'll investigate private businesses."

Ji Jie said, "The wanted notice has been issued for so long, how come there's still no news about Ma Hongsheng?"

"Who knows where he's hiding?" Yang Zhen said as he answered the phone. "Old He? Got it, I'll be right there." After hanging up, he said to Ji Jie, "We've got a tip from the public about Ma Hongsheng's whereabouts." The two of them then got into the car and drove to the location of the tip.

Zhang Yang and his team also received the news and went to the location where the report was made.

It turned out that it was a neighborhood committee assistant who reported it, and the assistant led them to a small bungalow.

"His name isn't Ma Hongsheng, it's Ma Jingrong, but he looks just like the person on the wanted poster."

When Zhang Yang and his group came in, they found uniforms from the natural gas company and the coal gas company on the bed and the table, as well as tools for repairing sewers.

Yang Zhen picked up a steamed bun from the table, smelled it, and found it had gone bad. The old woman said, "Don't smell it. He hasn't been back for days."

Yang Zhen said, "That kid got away again."

Zhang Yang saw a group photo on the table, handed it to Ji Jie, and then opened the drawer to find many keys inside, all strung together with rope.

Soon, Old Zheng arrived with a large group of men. Ji Jie came out and ran into Old Zheng, who asked, "Ji Jie, what's wrong?"

Ji Jie said, "It's okay, I'll just be alone for a while."

Old Zheng and the others went inside. Zhang Yang kept an eye on Ji Jie's condition. Shen Lan analyzed that Ma Hongsheng would definitely retaliate against Ji Jie. Zhang Yang also felt that Ma Hongsheng was a scheming person with a strong desire for revenge, and there was a high probability that he would retaliate.

[Analyzing Ji Jie's behavior...]

[Facial expression: Frowning slightly, downturned corners of the mouth, indicating a mixture of anxiety and repression.]

[Body language: Crossing one's arms in front of the chest is a defensive posture, indicating resistance to external intervention.]

[Comprehensive assessment: The target's condition is abnormal. Ma Hongsheng is a criminal with a strong desire for revenge. Victims and witnesses in the series of cases have been followed and threatened by him. Ji Jie, as the case's lead investigator, has her identity revealed and there is a possibility that Ma Hongsheng has targeted her for retaliation.]

Just then, Ji Jie's phone rang; it was Xiao Xue calling.

What time will you be back?

"I'm not sure yet. What's up?"

"I cooked mung bean soup and bought a big watermelon."

"You go ahead and eat, don't wait for me."

"Okay, by the way. The water delivery guy called and asked if we want bottled water or purified water."

"Xiaoxue, please don't call while Auntie is working on a case. You're in charge of things at home, understand?"

"Oh, I'm sorry."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Jie suddenly remembered something and called back, saying, "Hello, Xiaoxue, I'm going back now."

"No need, you go ahead with your work, I can handle it myself."

"No, don't go out. Cut the watermelon and wait for me at home."

"Aunt Ji, what happened?"

"It's okay, you must wait for me at home."

When Ji Jie answered the phone, Lao Zheng saw Zhang Yang and said, "Zhang Yang, what happened to you last time? I haven't even said anything to you yet."

Zhang Yang asked, puzzled, "Me? What happened to me?"

Old Zheng said, "I told you to learn from Ji Jie, and you let her cause this scene at the TV station? We haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you've already forgotten about it."

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Team leader, you know I'm just a new recruit. Sister Ji is my superior, so I can only follow the lead of the local officials." Before he could finish speaking, he turned around and saw that Ji Jie was already gone.

Zhang Yang hurriedly asked Lao Zheng, "Lao Zheng, where did Sister Ji go?"

Old Zheng turned around and realized that Ji Jie was indeed gone, saying, "She probably went to make some visits?"

The deep blue appeared in Zhang Yang's mind.

[Analyzing call content...]

[The caller was Xiaoxue, a female, approximately seventeen years old. Xiaoxue is a key witness and victim in the case. She mentioned that "the water delivery worker called to ask if I wanted bottled water or purified water." Ma Hongsheng was recently found with multiple sets of repair equipment and various uniforms, giving him the means to impersonate a water delivery worker and break into the house. It is highly likely that this call was Ma Hongsheng confirming whether anyone was home.]

[Conclusion: Ji Jie is heading to a residence that may have been exposed. Danger level: High.]

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "No, it sounded like Xiaoxue called Sister Ji just now. Is there something wrong at home?"

Old Zheng immediately said, "You go with me, and I'll send someone over right away."

Zhang Yang nodded.

Old Zheng then asked, "Are you carrying a gun?"

Zhang Yang said, "There's a gun."

"Okay, drive there quickly, and keep making phone calls along the way, understand?"

"Yes."

Zhang Yang started calling Ji Jie on the way.

"Hey, Zhang Yang?"

"Sister Ji, has something happened? I'm behind your car."

Ji Jie said, "Ma Hongsheng might have gone to his house."

Zhang Yang said, "I'll report the situation to Lao Zheng and the others now. Wait for me downstairs."

"it is good."

Zhang Yang quickly informed Lao Zheng and the others of the situation. At this moment, Yang Zhen turned on Ma Hongsheng's TV and found that a videotape was playing, and it was a videotape of Ji Jie speaking on the TV station.

"That damned beast."

At this moment, Lao Zheng picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Leave the remaining personnel behind, and the rest of you head to Ji Jie's residential area."

"Yes."

After Zhang Yang followed Ji Jie to the apartment building, he looked around and said, "Sister Ji, here's how we'll do this operation: I think Ma Hongsheng has figured out that Xiao Xue hasn't recognized him, so Xiao Xue is safe for now. Don't close the door for a while. If he tells you to close it, then close it. I'll find a way to get in. You're in charge of the negotiations, and I'll carry out the operation."

Ji Jie nodded and said, "Okay." But at this moment, her ability to act was definitely not as good as Zhang Yang's.

Zhang Yang followed Ji Jie upstairs. Ji Jie took out her keys, nodded to Zhang Yang, opened the door, and went inside, leaving only a crack in the door.

Zhang Yang used this gap to begin his observation.
