My girlfriend is from 1949

No~ no~.

Section Chief, you are a national security officer!

How could you possibly believe such nonsense?

Science, we must believe in science!

Lu Tong looked stunned, then immediately retorted excitedly.

But his voice trembled, and even his body was shaking slightly.

Rather than refuting, it's more about convincing oneself of what is being said.

Because the conversation just now will completely overturn her understanding.

It was precisely because they knew that the director would never joke about work.

That's why I felt a chill run down my spine and a sense of unreality.

After joining the National Security Bureau, the person she admired most was the section chief.

They have solved countless major cases and brought out those deeply hidden spies.

It can be said that Director Zhou Liming is the role model she hopes to emulate.

My biggest wish is to become an outstanding national security officer like the section chief in the future, and safeguard the peace of the motherland.

She would wholeheartedly believe any judgment made by the section chief.

And in the past year or so, the director has proven this point with his actions.

Once the director makes a judgment, it's basically a done deal.

It was precisely because I had more faith in the director's abilities that I was so impressed.

My mind went blank, and a dreamlike, unreal feeling arose within me.

However, as a professionally trained national security officer, he has a very strong mental fortitude.

Lu Tong was stunned for only three seconds before she came to her senses.

He instinctively asked, "If it's really as you suspect, what should we do?"

Zhou Liming said calmly, "According to the plan set up above, report it immediately after confirmation!"

"Uh..." Lu Tong blinked, her mind still a little foggy.

He asked in surprise, "A contingency plan? The higher-ups have contingency plans for something this absurd? Don't tell me they have contingency plans for an alien invasion of Earth?"

"Of course." Zhou Liming nodded, his expression noncommittal.

"Not only were there contingency plans for time travel, but there were also contingency plans for meteorites destroying Earth."

There are contingency plans in place for the Trisolarans to invade Earth.

Even the emergence of monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas has its own emergency response plan.

The tone was flat, as if asking whether or not to add vinegar to dumplings.

uan~!

Lu Tong's eyes widened, her mind buzzing.

It felt like a giant clock was constantly echoing in my head.

The section chief's answer gave her a dreamlike feeling.

If someone else had said those words, I would have scoffed at them.

But when these words came from the director's mouth, it was impossible not to believe them.

Because the department head wouldn't joke about work.

Since the section chief said it exists, then it must exist!

Zhou Liming glanced at the time on his wrist and asked in a deep voice, "How's your investigation going?"

Lu Tong shook her head, trying to put those things beyond her comprehension out of her mind.

Whether those contingency plans are true or false, that's something we can verify later.

Now, the task at hand is the priority.

He immediately reported seriously: "I checked the community's surveillance footage and didn't see them leave the house."

I've reviewed the surveillance footage from the elevators, lobby, and parking lot.

The fact that no trace of them was found proves that they had been at home for the past seven days.

To verify this, I even went to the parking lot to check his car.

Judging from the dust on the surface, it definitely hasn't been started for several days.

It's been raining for the past two days, so if you've driven out, there won't be any noticeable dust on the surface!

Lu Tong paused briefly, seemingly organizing her thoughts.

He cautiously reported, "I... I also used a drone to scout outside their windows, and they didn't turn on the lights!"

Using drones for reconnaissance is, to some extent, a form of reconnaissance.

She is not allowed to do this without evidence.

That's why I'm so careful when I give a report, afraid of being scolded.

Zhou Liming remained calm and did not reprimand anyone; instead, he reviewed the footage from the drone.

The drone footage confirms that the lights were not turned on for several consecutive nights.

This is almost impossible in normal life.

While watching the video, Zhou Liming asked, "Have you checked the water, electricity, and gas?"

"I registered five days ago, and I just checked and there was no error message!"

Lu Tong was very meticulous in her work, conducting a comprehensive investigation and comparison.

He asked doubtfully, "Director, do you think they're home or not?"

This is the most puzzling question.

They stayed at home for five days straight, without even mentioning whether they had enough food.

It's impossible to go several days without washing with water or heating food with electricity.

To be more realistic, you have to flush the toilet after using it, right?

But the water meter hasn't read anything for five days, which is puzzling.

If we hadn't checked the security footage, we really wouldn't have seen them leave the house; we would have suspected that no one was home!

Zhou Liming narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "Why don't we go inside and take a look?"

Then he opened the door and got out of the car, instructing, "Take all the equipment with you!"

"Oh, yes!" Lu Tong hurriedly replied, grabbed her equipment bag, and followed.

Chen Huai'an's floor is a two-unit-per-floor layout.

It does make movement easier.

Lu Tong took out the instrument and placed it on the combination lock on the front door.

The changing numbers on the instrument quickly revealed the password to the gate.

After opening the door, they did not go in immediately, but used instruments to survey the room first.

They only opened the door after confirming there were no alarms or cameras.

As I put on the shoe covers and lifted my foot to go inside, I suddenly pulled it back.

When Lu Tong shone her flashlight on the ground, there was a layer of powder.

Since the lights were off inside and the color was similar to the floor, it wasn't easy to spot.

If someone doesn't notice the powder on the ground and steps on it...

When the homeowner returns, they will immediately discover that someone has broken in.

The two carefully bypassed the white powder and entered the house.

Lu Tong originally wanted to split up, but Zhou Liming stopped her.

Until the danger is eliminated, it's better to stay together for mutual support.

The two men searched room by room with flashlights, but found no one.

Lu Tong frowned and muttered in confusion, "Strange, I checked all the surveillance footage, and there's only footage of them coming home, not leaving. How did they leave without anyone noticing?"

Zhou Liming frowned, also puzzled by this question.

I carefully examined the surface of the shoe cabinet by the door with a flashlight and found a faint layer of dust, indicating that no one had been back for several days.

Judging from the current situation, no one has lived there for several days.

The two split up and searched the area, with Zhou Liming even opening the safe.

Apart from some valuable jewelry and antiques, there was nothing else unusual.

No suspicious items were found.

"Nothing found!" Lu Tong shook her head and asked, "What should we do next?"

Zhou Liming pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Withdraw first. Have Xiao Wang's group keep an eye on things later!"

Then the two carefully withdrew, their professional technique ensuring that even if the owner returned, they wouldn't notice anything amiss.

The two drove towards the office.

Looking at the scenery rushing past the window, Zhou Liming ordered, "Lock his phone. It's time for a chat!"
