Zhou Hui closed the documents on the table.

Meeting adjourned.

Old Zheng sighed and rubbed his face.

Lin Wan looked at her face and stomped her feet in frustration.

You usually seem so loud and boisterous, why do you chicken out at crucial moments?

She wanted to speak again, but Gu Tingchen silenced her with a cold, sharp look.

I just felt that this little fox, who talks a lot of nonsense, wouldn't give up so easily.

Everyone thought Song Qianxia would make a scene, after all, this girl would usually get angry with the team leader over a hundred yuan of overtime pay.

To everyone's surprise, she was unusually calm today. She stood up and straightened her police uniform trousers.

"I'll go back and write a report. Thank you for your hard work, leaders."

After saying that, she strolled out of the meeting room without even turning her head back.

Old Zheng watched her retreating figure and muttered to himself.

"Is this girl being unusually obedient today?"

Back in the main office, Song Qianxia pulled out her swivel chair and placed the iced milk tea she had just bought beside her.

She flexed her ten fingers, then placed both hands on the keyboard.

The rapid, clattering of keys echoed in the quiet office, as fast as swatting wild bees. "What are you writing? So frantically."

Lin Wan leaned over and glanced at the screen, which was filled with dense technical terms and incomprehensible structural diagrams.

Song Qianxia didn't even look up, and took a sip of her milk tea.

"Write a technical assessment."

"Since my supervisor won't let me go, I should at least explain the precautions for inspecting the goods to the person going, right? That's called standing guard until the very end."

Three hours later.

Song Qianxia, ​​holding thirty pages of A4 paper that had just come out of the printer, knocked on the conference room door.

Gu Tingchen and Zhou Hui were still discussing backup plans in front of the whiteboard.

Song Qianxia placed the document in the center of the conference table.

"Greetings, leaders. This is the 'Guide to Predicting and Inspecting Goods for the Access Mechanism of Deep-Sea Auctions'."

She pulled out a chair, sat down, picked up the now-cold tea on the table, and took a big gulp.

"Director Zhou, this is what I've summarized. Make sure to memorize it when choosing your colleagues, so you don't give yourself away later."

Zhou Hui picked up the top page with suspicion, glanced at it, and her expression changed.

The report begins with the sentence: "[Night Owl does not possess the true Pandora Key.]"

"If Night Owl really existed, he would have figured out how to open it himself long ago. Why would he bother selling it for money?"

Song Qianxia leaned back in her chair and crossed her legs.

Zhou Hui turned to the second page.

The deep-sea auction will most likely require on-site blind verification; they are using a hybrid digital encryption mechanism based on the most advanced Luban lock technology in the underground world.

The diagram above shows a complex mortise and tenon joint mechanical structure.

It was accompanied by dense hexadecimal code and physical analysis.

Song Qianxia lightly tapped the thick stack of thirty pages with her finger, smiling innocently:

"Director Zhou, could you tell which colleague in the bureau has a good memory and mental fortitude? Have him memorize this in the next couple of days. Otherwise, he might be exposed on the ship and cause Captain Gu to die in the line of duty."

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Zhou Hui's forehead, and her voice was no longer as forceful as before.

"Go and call Director Qin and Old Chen from the Technical Department."

Less than five minutes later, the two top executives of the technical department rushed into the conference room.

Old Chen took out his reading glasses from his pocket, put them on, and picked up the report to look at his eyes.

After reading two lines, Old Chen's brows furrowed into a knot.

After reading three more pages, he began frantically scratching at his already sparse hair.

"Little Song, what is this drawing you made? Is it Earth's technology?"

"With this level of physical isolation and code obfuscation, even if we burned out all of our department's servers, it would still take three months to roughly figure it out!"

Director Qin put the report back on the table and shook his head honestly.

"Director Zhou, to be honest, no one in our bureau can understand this document, let alone identify it by sight on-site without the aid of instruments."

Zhou Hui stared at Song Qianxia, ​​her eyes sharp.

How do you know all this?

Song Qianxia grabbed a soda cracker from the table and stuffed it into her mouth.

"I used to lurk a lot in dark web forums!"

"There was an old hacker who got drunk and dug up information about Deepsea Auction on a forum. The post was deleted immediately, and she was wanted by Night Owl for several years."

"I don't have any other strengths, except that I have a good memory; I can memorize something after just one glance."

No one present could stand up and refute this.

Because in the entire Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau, there really wasn't a second person who understood underground networks better than her.

Gu Tingchen spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Comrade Song Qianxia's interdisciplinary learning ability and visual memory have been proven in the previous bombing case."

"The potential that humans can unleash under extreme conditions is an objective reality."

Zhou Hui remained silent for a long time. She only recognized procedures, but she was definitely not stupid.

If the person sent is an amateur, not only will the mission fail, but the undercover colleague may also not return.

"Operation approved."

Song Qianxia's eyes lit up, and she was about to cheer when Zhou Hui raised her finger.

"But four red lines must be followed."

"First, it's a two-person operation. You must stay with Captain Gu at all times and not leave his sight for even a moment."

"Second, concealed body cameras must be worn at all times. All footage must be transmitted in real time."

"Third, no one is allowed to handle any items being traded alone."

Zhou Hui stared into Song Qianxia's eyes.

"Fourth, once any signs of violation are discovered, I, as the inspector, have the authority to issue a mandatory evacuation order at any time."

Song Qianxia nodded repeatedly.

"I'll follow the leader's orders completely!"

As long as she can get on the ship, she'd agree to anything, not just four red lines, but forty.

Looking at Song Qianxia's obedient appearance, Lao Zheng felt a sudden chill run down his spine for no reason.

I have a feeling that the more readily this girl agrees, the bigger the trouble she'll cause later.

After the meeting, everyone went to prepare.

Gu Tingchen walked to Song Qianxia's side, his tone indifferent.

"Get ready, let's go collect our equipment."

The two arrived at the equipment department. Xiao Wang had already prepared everything they needed.

"Captain Gu, these are a miniature communicator and a law enforcement recorder." Xiao Wang handed over two small black boxes.

Song Qianxia picked it up, glanced at it, and began to nitpick.

"This lens is too big and reflects light badly. The other side can just scan it with an infrared detector and they'll be exposed."

Xiao Wang pouted, looking aggrieved. "This is already the smallest model the bureau can approve right now."

Song Qianxia thought for a moment and then took out a Zippo lighter from her pocket.

"Take the lens apart and put it inside. Sand the outer casing to give it an aged look."

Xiao Wang stared at the lighter, completely bewildered. "Will it even work?"

Gu Tingchen spoke up from the side, "Do as she says."

Song Qianxia leaned against the counter, smiling at Gu Tingchen.

"Boss Gu, did you bring enough money this time? I don't want to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish with you."

Gu Tingchen, without changing his expression, picked up the pocket watch and put it into his suit jacket pocket, uttering a single sentence.

"If you slip up during the inspection, you'll have to swim back to shore yourself."
