Chapter 1: Kidnapped Female Celebrity Case Begins

Hello, audience friends, the Third Phase of Sky Eye Operation is about to start broadcasting!

I am your host Lin An'an.

Night.

In the Live Broadcast Room in front of countless people's computer screens, a fashionably dressed, beautiful female host is speaking to the live camera.

I believe after the previous two phases you have already learned that this is a brand‑new type of criminal investigation program; unlike past shows, to simulate real situations our Program Crew will immediately select unsuspecting passersby to challenge the show.

This is a crime‑prevention program!

Its purpose is to showcase the nation's advanced Sky Eye Technology, Facial Recognition Technology and reconnaissance methods… to strike at potential criminals and prevent crime!

When the first two phases were broadcast, the endless array of reconnaissance methods and dazzling high‑tech surveillance techniques instantly left many viewers stunned.

The footage from the previous two phases constantly warned the audience.

Don't commit crimes!

In modern society, once you commit a crime, even a trace cannot escape the Sky Net Technology.

Therefore, after the two phases aired.

The national crime rate surprisingly dropped by ten percent.

Thus netizens jokingly nicknamed the show: 'Mom! I'll never commit a crime again.'

"The First Phase was set in the Capital City, and the first Challenger was caught in less than an hour!"

"The Second Phase took place in the Magic City, and the second Challenger lasted two hours."

At this point, the female host in the Live Broadcast Room said with a professional smile…

"This time our program is set in Yangcheng, and likewise we have selected an uninformed passerby!"

"All preparatory work is already complete!"

"Now everything will begin from the parking garage of this office building right before my eyes."

"Can the Challenger chosen by the Program Crew endure for a whole day?"

Halfway through, host Lin An'an paused and said slowly.

"You should know that our Program Crew does offer rewards."

"If you can stay uncaught for a day by the Pursuit Squad, you earn a hundred‑thousand prize; two days, two hundred thousand; three days, three hundred thousand, and so on—the longer you last, the higher the reward!"

"Of course, I don't think anyone can last that long; we have not only Sky Eye Technology but also exceptionally capable Investigation Team members!"

At this point, the Live Broadcast Room camera switched.

The screen split into four panels, each showing a dark silhouette, and the host's voice continued.

"The first is former Criminal Investigation Section Captain Han Fei, with 30 years of criminal investigation experience and a 98% case‑solving rate, still the record holder!"

At this point, the first dark figure was revealed—a middle‑aged man with piercing eyes that seemed to see through everything.

"The second is no small figure; though young, she is a leading figure in national criminal psychology—Shen Manni!"

Accompanying this line, the second dark silhouette appeared—a pretty, mature young woman.

"As for the third, nicknamed the Human Eye Camera, no disguise can evade his sight; he once recorded a hundred photos in ten minutes and accurately located the subjects at different sites—his name is Li Chen!"

When the line ended, the third dark figure emerged—a young man wearing rimless glasses, his left index and middle fingers resting on the bridge.

"Next is the final one, also from the Criminal Police Brigade. Though none of his skills are the absolute top, he is proficient in everything—high‑speed chase, reconnaissance, combat… all above standard. In terms of overall ability, among the four he is the strongest, our old friend Chen Ke!"

At this moment, the last silhouette lit up—a man who looked completely ordinary.

"Facing our Investigation Team and the police behind them, how long can our Challenger hold out?"

"One hour?"

"Or perhaps a day?"

"Now!"

"The kidnapped female celebrity case begins!"

With the host's final line.

All Live Broadcast Rooms streaming Sky Eye Operation exploded.

Most of these people had watched the previous two phases.

For them, this novel program was extremely interesting, so once the stream started, tens of thousands flooded the Live Broadcast Room, and many Water Friends got excited by the lavish lineup.

"I've waited so long, finally it's on air!"

"The Investigation Team's lineup is unbelievably lavish this time, isn't it?"

"Probably the first two phases were so explosive that the Investigation Team members caught fire, so these big shots want to show their faces too."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this lineup? Want to last a day? I'd say half an hour is enough…"

"Who will be the new unlucky one? I'm a bit excited."

"At least give me one hour, that's the only way it's worth watching."

"……"

In the Live Broadcast Room, dense Danmaku kept scrolling.

Someone marveled at the Investigation Team's lavish roster.

Someone was curious about who the new Challenger was.

And someone else cared about the kidnapped female celebrity case mentioned by the host.

"Did you hear? This time it's a female celebrity kidnapping case?"

"Could the Program Crew actually have…"

"Hard to say!"

"Who could it be?"

Danmaku kept guessing as it went.

The Live Broadcast Room's screen changed.

The female host disappeared, and in her place was a view of an underground parking garage.

The camera was pointed straight at the elevator doors in the garage.

Not long after.

Accompanied by a "ding" sound.

The elevator doors opened.

A figure slowly appeared in the gap of the elevator doors.

"It's here!"
