Chapter 1200: Turning In A Blank Paper
Jiang Yao was stunned for a few seconds when she heard the introduction. “My name is Jiang Yao.”
So the previous analysis of the five people was actually to cover for Xiao Li’s appearance?
“Please give me your form.” Colonel Lin requested the form from Xiao Li. “Have you completed it?”
He noticed Xiao Li holding a pen at the bar counter while he was speaking with Jiang Yao. She should have completed it after such a long time.
Xiao Li nodded and took a form from the menu book, which she presented to Colonel Lin. She answered with a smile, “Colonel Lin, I’ve completed it; it was far too simple.”
Colonel Lin arched his brows and wondered, ‘Did Jiang Yao tell her everything because she regarded Xiao Li as a lovely and talkative girl?’
If that were the case, then it was unclear whether Jiang Yao would be able to continue to the next round.
However, Jiang Yao was not nervous at all. She took a sip of her coffee with her head lowered.
Colonel Lin looked at the serene Jiang Yao before lowering his head to examine Xiao Li’s form. When he caught sight of it, he burst out laughing.
No wonder Xiao Li said it was too easy—there was not a single word in the form. Xiao Li had turned in a blank paper.
“So you two stayed in there for so long, and you did not get anything out of Jiang Yao?” Colonel Lin teased her. “Where did your charm go?”
Colonel Lin joked with Jiang Yao. “Xiao Li is not from the Archives Department, but she has done a tremendous job. She was conversing with someone in a restaurant one time. During their conversation, Xiao Li discovered that the other party’s information was remarkably similar to a wanted criminal. Then she got the cops to confirm it. When they saw the man, they realized he was the wanted criminal who had eluded capture for many years.”
“To be able to elude capture for so long demonstrated that the wanted criminal was extremely cautious.” Jiang Yao grinned. Therefore, Xiao Li’s ability to chat was also profound. She was able to dig out all the information about the wanted criminal. No wonder she was sent to speak with her in the bathroom.
Most people would be tempted to let down their guard around such a cheerful young lady. Furthermore, Xiao Li was skilled at asking questions. At first, she would just ask superficial inquiries, and she would use words and flattery to mask her true intentions.
Jiang Yao did not expect that Xiao Li would bring that assignment to connect with her after Colonel Lin exposed her identity and mission.
Lu Xingzhi had taught her not to discuss personal topics with strangers. That was a precaution that everyone should take.
“Of course, I was overjoyed that I had made such a significant contribution. I expected to be able to answer half of these questions for this assignment.” Xiao Li pointed at the form. “I did not expect that I would also have to hand in a blank paper.”
“You have passed this round of evaluation.” Colonel Lin wanted to give Jiang Yao a standing ovation. Even though Jiang Yao did not suspect Xiao Li as a spy, she did not disclose any vital information to her either. Therefore, although it was not perfect, she still handed in a very good answer sheet.
Colonel Lin was looking forward to seeing the expression on Lu Xingzhi’s face when he saw the answer sheet.
Jiang Yao felt a lot better after leaving the cafe. She assumed she was done with the observation exam, but she did not anticipate Colonel Lin to drag her back to the Police Crime Squad and hand her eight images.
“This will put your eyesight and memory to the test. It is also a test of observation.” Colonel Lin pointed at the photographs on the table.
