Chapter 1756 Duty

Qin Yuan looked through the documents and found that the resumes of the resigned employees were marked with work records of several key departments. Combined with the recent threats, he has roughly outlined a clue.

"This is not direct enough," Qin Yuan said, calm but decisive, "The other party's purpose is very clear, that is, to make you surrender through threats, but who is behind them and how they operate, we need more solid evidence."

"I know." Zhou Hong nodded, but frowned, "But the other party is too cunning, completely hidden in the dark. My biggest worry now is that they will attack my family. In the past few days, I have asked my parents and brother to move to other places, but I am always worried."

"You're right." Qin Yuan's eyes were cold, "The other party's target is obviously you. As long as you don't compromise, they are likely to take more extreme measures. Means. Do you have bodyguards? "

"Yes, security has been strengthened. " Zhou Hong replied, "But I know that these people are not ordinary gangsters. Their methods are very professional, and bodyguards can only play a limited role. "

Qin Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "From now on, I will help you deal with this matter. The first step is that I need to check the surveillance records inside your company, as well as the security arrangements around the parking lot and your home to see if I can find more clues. "

Hearing this, Zhou Hong's eyes were more relaxed and trusting: "Thank you, Instructor Qin. I knew that only you can help me solve this kind of thing. "

Qin Yuan immediately launched an investigation. He started from inside Zhou Hong's company and retrieved the surveillance video of the parking lot. After several hours of repeated viewing, he found a suspicious van. The car lingered near the company's parking lot several times, but each time it left quickly after a few minutes.

"There's something wrong with this car." Qin Yuan pointed at the car in the picture and asked Zhou Hong to pay attention. "Have you seen it?"

Zhou Hong shook her head: "No. This should not be our company's car."

Qin Yuan nodded, wrote down the license plate number and sent it to the police. At the same time, he contacted a retired soldier comrade he was familiar with and asked him to help check the background of the car.

Then, he visited the monitoring point near Zhou Hong's home and found that a man in a courier uniform appeared near Zhou Hong's home many times, but he did not seem to deliver the courier. Qin Yuan keenly realized that this might be the other party scouting the place.

"Mr. Zhou, you have to be mentally prepared." Qin Yuan said in a deep voice, "The other party is not only threatening you, they are looking for an opportunity to attack you personally."

Zhou Hong's face changed slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by calmness: "Then what should we do?"

"Now they are in the dark and we are in the light." Qin Yuan's eyes were like knives, and his tone was a little colder. "Since the other party wants to play, we must let them show their true colors. Next, we have to lead them to show up on their own initiative."

"Learn them to show up?" Zhou Hong asked puzzled.

Qin Yuan nodded, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Yes, set up a trap."

Qin Yuan sat in the conference room, spread out the emails and photos of the destruction site provided by Zhou Hong, and carefully examined them one by one. His eyes were sharp, as if he was catching the slightest clues. A few minutes later, he opened a threatening email and said in a low voice: "The content of these emails is very precise, not like ordinary threats."

"Precise?" Zhou Hong asked puzzledly, "You mean..."

"The content mentioned in these emails includes not only your company's specific business decisions, but also your schedule." Qin Yuan pointed to a few sentences in the email and continued, "For example, this sentence - 'Your recent cooperation meeting is already an open secret', which means that the other party has mastered part of your schedule, and this information should only be known by the core personnel of the company."

Zhou Hong's face changed slightly, and he immediately responded: "My schedule is indeed rarely leaked, and only a small number of company executives and assistants know it."

"That's even more telling." Qin Yuan put the email aside and picked up a photo of the scene of destruction - a car windshield was sprayed with red threatening words. "There is a detail here. Look at these words. They are sprayed casually, but the handwriting is clear, as if someone did it at close range."

"So what?" Zhou Hong frowned and asked.

"This shows that the other party is not only familiar with the situation of your company, but also knows the gaps between security patrols here, and can calmly complete the destruction and leave. In other words, this is something that only people who are familiar with internal processes can do." Qin Yuan analyzed calmly.

Zhou Hong frowned, with a hint of anger in her tone: "You mean, there may be someone in the company cooperating with them?"

Qin Yuan nodded, and said in a low voice: "Behind the threatening emails and sabotage, there is a great possibility that internal leaks are caused. The other party not only has your schedule, but also knows the internal processes of your company, and may even have obtained some key details of business decisions in advance."

"That's strange." Zhou Hong stood up, with a little anxiety in her tone, "My executive team has always been stable, and we have been working together for many years. I find it hard to believe that someone would betray the company."

"Trust is a good thing, but the current situation is enough to make us alert." Qin Yuan's tone was still steady, but with unquestionable power, "If it is really an internal leak, we must catch this insider next to further track down the mastermind behind the scenes."

"Then how to find it out?" Zhou Hong asked anxiously.

Qin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "We can set up a trap and release a fake news to observe who will leak this information. When the other party contacts the forces behind the scenes, we can find clues."

Zhou Hong was slightly stunned, then nodded: "This method is worth trying. I will cooperate with you, what do you need?"

"I need you to pretend to be ready to announce an important cooperation news to the public, involving the company's core assets." Qin Yuan's eyes were sharp and continued, "At the same time, choose a team of executives you trust the most and notify them of the news privately. Make sure only a very small number of people know it.”

After hearing this, Zhou Hong looked solemn: "I understand. Then I will convene executives tonight to hold a small meeting and release the fake news under the excuse of cooperation negotiations."

Qin Yuan nodded: "This is the best. At the meeting, remember to be cautious, so that they feel that this information is very important and confidential."

"I understand." Zhou Hong's eyes were filled with a hint of firmness, "What's next?"

"Next, we need to monitor emails and communication equipment." Qin Yuan's eyes were cold, "You can use the technicians I trust to assist the police in setting up technical monitoring to observe whether anyone contacts the outside world privately."

Zhou Hong nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

That night, Zhou Hong convened an emergency executive meeting. The content of the meeting is false - the company is about to cooperate with an international company, and the transaction will involve Zhou Hong's most important core assets and will be officially announced in a week.

During the meeting, Zhou Hong's expression was as professional and calm as ever. She emphasized to all executives that the confidentiality of this transaction is crucial and no leakage is allowed.

After the meeting, Qin Yuan and Zhou Hong stood in the monitoring room together, observing the dynamics of the executive team through remote technical equipment. Qin Yuan's eyes were sharp and his tone was low: "Next, we just need to wait. If someone leaked the secret inside, there would be a movement soon."

Sure enough, a few hours later, an abnormal activity appeared in an executive's private email. He sent an encrypted email using his private device, which was exactly the "cooperation plan" mentioned by Zhou Hong at the meeting.

"It's him!" Qin Yuan's eyes sterned, "Immediately locked in his movement trajectory."

Zhou Hong's technical team acted quickly and the recipient of the email was a strange account. The police further investigated and found that the account was related to the leader of an underground force.

Qin Yuan's eyes were cold and stern: "Next, we have to let him show up."

Qin Yuan quickly formulated a strict security plan. He stood in Zhou Hong's office, with a calm and decisive tone: "Mr. Zhou, the situation is already very obvious now. You and your family may be the other party's potential targets. From now on, we have to do two things: first, keep your family safe; second, minimize your exposure to the outside world as much as possible.”

Zhou Hong nodded, with a hint of uneasiness in her expression: "My family has been transferred to my parents' country villa, but that place is not safe. If the other party really has a plan, they may have mastered my family's. whereabouts."

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Qin Yuan nodded: "You did the right thing, transfer them first. However, this is far from enough. The safety of your family needs professional protection. I have contacted several trusted comrades, who are veterans, experienced and can provide them. All-weather personal protection.”

Zhou Hong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, I've always been worried about my parents' safety. If there is a professional protection, I'll be relieved."

"In addition, I need you to reduce the public itinerary immediately." Qin Yuan's voice exuded unquestionable majesty. "Recent meetings and activities can be promoted. The necessary itinerary must be reported in advance, and my team and I will be the first to do so. Make an assessment. You must always keep a low profile and don’t give the other party any opportunity to take advantage of.”

Zhou Hong nodded, but was still hesitant: "I can reduce the itinerary, but the company still has many important cooperation and meetings. If it is absent, it may cause suspicion and may even affect the operation of the company."

Qin Yuan looked at her calmly: "Short-term sacrifice is necessary. If something happens to you, the entire company will be worse. Moreover, such low-key behavior may make the other party more anxious and force them to reveal their flaws."

Zhou Hong pondered for a moment and finally made up her mind: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I will let my assistant handle external affairs, and I will try to minimize the appearance of the public."

"Very good." Qin Yuan nodded, took out a handwritten list and handed it to Zhou Hong, "Here are some specific precautions, you must strictly implement them. First, try to use the company's exclusive vehicle, and don't Easily change the travel method; second, avoid going to fixed restaurants or leisure places, and keep the itinerary random; third, no unfamiliar phone calls or emails will be replied to immediately and handed over to me or the police for processing."

Zhou Hong took the list, looked carefully, and looked up and asked, "Instructor Qin, do these measures mean that my situation is more dangerous than I thought?"

Qin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly and he said in a deep voice: "Since the other party has begun to use more extreme means, it means that they are determined to win the core assets of your company. You must be mentally prepared, which may last for a while until we completely find the background. Dark hands.”

Zhou Hong nodded, a trace of firmness flashed in her eyes: "Okay, I understand. During this period, I will fully cooperate with your arrangements."

That night, Qin Yuan contacted several retired comrades, who were his partners when performing special missions, who were experienced and loyal and reliable.

"Li Rui, you and Liu Jianhua are responsible for the security of Zhou Hong's family." Qin Yuan assigned a task on the phone, "Her family is in a country villa, and it is currently the most easily attacked target. I want you to keep an eye on it 24 hours a day and don't let it go. Have been any suspicious person."

Li Rui on the other end of the phone chuckled in a low voice, "Don't worry, Lao Qin, we have been brothers for so many years, so I'm not trying to protect a few people."

"Don't take it lightly." Qin Yuan said in a serious tone. "The other party is likely to be a professional criminal gang, and their methods will not be simple. In this mission, your reaction speed and judgment are the key."

"I understand." Li Rui's voice became serious, "Let's go immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yuan turned to Zhou Hong and said, "Your family will have two professional security personnel to protect you. I will contact them regularly to ensure everything is normal. I will be responsible for yourselves."

Zhou Hong was a little surprised: "You are responsible for it yourself? Will this delay your other work?"

Qin Yuan sneered, with a sharp look in his eyes: "My job now is to ensure your safety. Don't worry, I won't let you get into trouble."

Zhou Hong looked at Qin Yuan's cold but reassuring face and felt a little comfort in her heart: "Instructor Qin, thank you really. If it weren't for you, I really didn't know how to deal with these things."

Qin Yuan waved his hand: "The responsibility lies. Don't worry, the situation has begun to become clear. What we have to do next is wait for them to reveal their flaws."

Qin Yuan called the local police's criminal investigation team leader, and Li Cheng's voice came from the other end of the phone. He was the head of the Tianhui City Criminal Police Team, his voice was low and capable: "Instructor Qin, you are talking about Zhou Hong's case. ? We have indeed received some alarm records from her company, but there is currently no sufficient evidence to lock the suspect."

"What's the specific situation?" Qin Yuan frowned slightly, his voice calm but full of oppression. "Do you have any clues?"

Li Cheng paused and explained: "There are several intimidation and sabotage cases we have investigated so far. We found that the behavior patterns are very similar, and there may be a group of professional criminals behind them. They poured paint in the parking lot of Zhouhong Company and posted anonymous Threatening emails, and also destroying security monitoring equipment near her home.”

"So, you haven't found the specific suspect yet?" Qin Yuan's voice became a little colder.
