I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

As night deepened, the city's clamor gave way to tranquility. Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing sat in their newspaper office, their computer screen displaying a complex coordinate system. It was a mystery they had spent hours unraveling, each number and letter like a hidden symbol.

"This coordinate system points to a specific location," Fu Siyuan said excitedly, his eyes gleaming. "It's on the edge of the city, in an abandoned factory area. It looks like we've found another trading location for the criminal gang."

Zhang Wanqing nodded, her heart filled with anxiety and anticipation. "We need to notify the police and have them set up surveillance in advance. This transaction location may be the key to catching the criminal gang online."

The two quickly sorted out the information, and Fu Siyuan picked up the phone and dialed the police's emergency contact number. The police captain's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little tired, but after hearing the clues provided by Fu Siyuan, he immediately became alert.

"Are you sure this coordinate system points to an abandoned factory area?" asked the police captain with a hint of urgency in his tone.

"Absolutely sure," Fu Siyuan replied firmly. "We've verified this multiple times. This location is probably where the criminal gang conducts transactions."

The police captain was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, we'll act immediately. Wait for our news at the newspaper office, and don't act rashly."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing looked at each other, their hearts filled with complicated emotions. They knew that this action was full of dangers, but for the sake of justice, they had to go all out.

The police car stopped at the factory entrance. Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing quickly exited and followed the police task force, quietly approaching the target location. A gentle night breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness and a faint, decaying atmosphere to the factory area. Their hearts were filled with anxiety, but their steps were remarkably firm.

"Everyone, stay alert," the sheriff whispered, a serious look in his eyes. "Our target is that abandoned warehouse. Intelligence suggests the criminal gang's handlers might be conducting transactions there."

The police quickly dispersed, forming a circle and approaching the warehouse. Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing followed closely behind, weapons in hand ready to respond to any possible danger.

"Wanqing, do you see that warehouse?" Fu Siyuan asked softly, pointing to a dilapidated warehouse in front.

Zhang Wanqing nodded, "I see, that's our target."

The warehouse door was closed, and silence reigned, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing. The police quietly approached the warehouse, ready to break in. Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing also nervously gripped their weapons, ready to deal with any possible danger.

"Three, two, one, charge!" At the sheriff's command, the police quickly rushed to the warehouse and broke in.

The warehouse was in chaos. The sudden intrusion of the police caught the gang members off guard. They all grabbed their weapons and tried to resist. Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing quickly rushed into the warehouse and joined the fight.

"Don't move! Police!" Li Wei shouted loudly, pointing the weapon in his hand at the suspect in front of him.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan were very happy to see Li Wei coming. The iron triangle reunited and fought together again.

The gang members fought back, and a fierce gunfight erupted inside the warehouse. Bullets whizzed through the air with a piercing sound. Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing, with their exceptional skills and tacit cooperation, successfully repelled several suspects.

"Wanqing, be careful!" Fu Siyuan suddenly shouted and pushed Zhang Wanqing away. A bullet grazed Zhang Wanqing's shoulder and hit the wall behind her.

Zhang Wanqing came to her senses and quickly looked in Fu Siyuan's direction. She saw that Fu Siyuan had already started a fierce hand-to-hand fight with a criminal suspect. She immediately rushed forward and helped Fu Siyuan subdue the criminal suspect.

"You policemen are so nosy!" a criminal suspect roared, shooting at the policemen with the weapon in his hand.

The police quickly launched a counterattack and subdued the members of the criminal gang one by one. Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing also successfully controlled the situation and subdued all the suspects.

"Sheriff, what's the situation here?" Fu Siyuan reported to the sheriff through the intercom.

"We have the situation under control and all suspects have been subdued." The sheriff's voice came from the intercom, with a hint of relief in his tone.

After the fight in the warehouse ended, the police quickly searched the scene. Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing also participated in the search, hoping to find more clues about the online boss.

"Wanqing, look at this." Fu Siyuan pointed to a laptop on the ground, his tone tinged with excitement. "This might be the computer used for online communication."

Zhang Wanqing quickly walked over and carefully checked the computer. The computer screen displayed a dark web transaction page with records of multiple jewelry transactions.

"This page shows that the online transaction location and time were arranged through this dark web account," Zhang Wanqing analyzed, her eyes gleaming. "We need to find the owner of this account to uncover the truth of this case."

The police quickly collected evidence from the computer, hoping to find more clues about the online user. At this time, an unexpected situation occurred.

"Sheriff, there's a secret door here!" a policeman suddenly shouted, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

The sheriff quickly walked over and checked the secret door. The secret door was cleverly hidden in the wall of the warehouse and difficult to find without careful observation. The police quickly opened the secret door and found a hidden basement.

"It looks like we've found the gang's lair," the sheriff said, a hint of seriousness in his tone. "We need to search this basement carefully to see if we can find any more clues."

The police quickly entered the basement and began a thorough search. Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing followed closely behind, their weapons ready to respond to any possible danger.

The air in the basement was cold and damp, and under the dim light, various equipment and items were placed in a mess. The police carefully searched the basement, leaving no corner untouched.

"There's a safe here!" a policeman suddenly shouted, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

The sheriff quickly walked over and checked the safe. The door was tightly closed and looked very sturdy. The sheriff signaled the technician to come forward and prepare to open the safe.

"The password to this safe is very complex and will take some time to crack," the technician said with a hint of nervousness in his tone.
