wind in the dark night

Chapter 7 Guess
Liu Wenlong looked around: "Who is in charge here?"

Wang Liansheng took a step forward, and replied respectfully: "I am in charge, Wang Liansheng, the leader of the second team of the criminal investigation unit."

Liu Wenlong didn't even look at him: "How's the situation?"

"Two rebels were found at the scene, one was killed and the other escaped by chance."

"Escaped by chance? Didn't you say that people were already surrounded?"

"Um, that's what happened..."

boom!
There was a sudden gunshot.

Wang Liansheng was startled, and looked around nervously.

Liu Wenlong didn't delay for a second, and ran like flying into the alley.

Everyone also followed in a swarm.

At the west exit of the alley, a police officer curled up on the ground and moaned. He was shot in the stomach, and blood flowed out from between his fingers.

Liu Wenlong asked loudly, "What's going on?"

Enduring the pain, the policeman panted and said, "Rebels, the rebels attacked me from behind... He, he ran south..."

Without Liu Wenlong's instructions, the men he brought had already chased him down, and someone else was struggling to carry the injured policeman into the car and send him to the hospital for treatment.

Wang Liansheng asked with a question mark on his face: "What's going on? Why is there suddenly one more?"

He didn't understand how there were only two rebels, but there were suddenly three.

Liu Wenlong said with a cold face: "A major case involving espionage must be handed over to the Special Affairs Division for handling. If you act without asking for instructions, Team Leader Wang, you are quite courageous!"

"Captain Liu, you have wronged me..."

Wang Liansheng didn't dare to hide anything, so he told the story.

Liu Wenlong asked: "Where did you get the information?"

Wang Liansheng said: "One of my agents, he had seen Sai Limao before, and happened to meet him on Anbu Street, so he followed him quietly, and finally found that Sai Limao had entered apartment No. 7, oh, he didn't dare to follow him, and he also I don’t know which room the civet cat lives in.”

"Apartment 7..."

"That gray building is."

"Are those cars all yours?"

"Yes."

"When you arrived at Anbu Street, you didn't arrest people right away, did you?"

"At that time, there were not enough manpower, so we waited a little longer."

"How long did you wait?"

"About, about 10 minutes."

"Is the civet cat blind?"

"of course not……"

Wang Liansheng was stunned for a while, then tentatively asked: "You mean, he found us early in the morning?"

Liu Wenlong sneered: "After all, you're not so stupid yet!"

"........."

"It's been more than two years, and you still haven't been able to catch the civet cat. It can be seen that he is a very vigilant person. If so many cars suddenly appear nearby, will he not be suspicious? If he becomes suspicious, even if he is not sure of the danger, Won't he find a place to hide?"

"But, I sent someone to guard the entrance of the apartment building, no one has ever gone out..."

"Even if you're not stupid enough to go home, you're almost at the door!"

Wang Liansheng looked embarrassed, but he didn't dare to refute.

He is just a mere police lieutenant, while Liu Wenlong is a seventh-rank police sergeant.

"You're not convinced, are you?"

Liu Wenlong pointed to the rope hanging from the roof of the apartment building: "Do you know where the rope came from?"

Wang Liansheng, who was so stupid at the door of the house, did not dare to answer right away.

He was afraid that if he got the wrong answer, he would be scolded.

Liu Wenlong said: "A person like Sai Limao, no matter where he hides, will always be prepared. For example, this time, he prepared a rope in advance and escaped through the skylight of the attic when he sensed danger. Sai Limao can detect danger. Well, of course the rebels living in the apartment can do it too, they don’t dare to go through the front door, so they just copy the gourd and use the rope left by the civet cat to escape!”

"so……"

"The civet cat must still have a foothold. In the cold weather, he can't live too far away. I guess it should be near here."

A police officer hurried over and said to Wang Liansheng: "The team leader, in the house where the rebels were hiding, they found a large number of jade jewelry, which looked like objects used by the Japanese. The preliminary judgment should be It was the stolen item some time ago..."

Wang Liansheng patted his thigh: "I see! That guy is a fucking civet cat! No wonder it runs faster than a rabbit, who else can it be!"

Liu Wenlong sneered and walked away with a disdainful face.

The matter is simple and clear. Sai civet cat sensed the danger and hid in the backup foothold.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhaolin also came here, but the police forced Saicivet out instead, which gave Zhang Zhaolin a chance to escape.

……

after an hour,
In the corridor on the second floor of Apartment No. 7.

A special agent named Ning Zhiyuan of the Special Operations Team leaned against the window and smoked.

They were ordered to search the room where Zhang Zhaolin lived to see if they could find some clues.

Liu Wenlong went up to look around and then went back.

Sai civet cat's room is also on the second floor.

The people from the second team of the investigation unit have just finished their search.

Seeing Ning Zhiyuan, Qi Yue came over to say hello: "Brother Yuan, you haven't left yet."

"Oh, come on, let's go in a while."

Ning Zhiyuan knew Qi Yue well and knew that this was Jiang Bin's best friend.

Qi Yue sighed: "Oh, this day, I don't even have time to catch my breath..."

Ning Zhiyuan handed Qi Yue a cigarette.

Tobacco and alcohol are not separated, which is a customary etiquette.

Qi Yue said with a smile: "I don't know how to smoke, but Jiang Bin has spoiled me for the past two years."

Ning Zhiyuan also smiled: "That guy Jiang Bin, despite his young age, he is quite addicted to cigarettes..."

Qi Yue picked up the match placed on the window sill, struck the match to light the cigarette - he came to say hello to Ning Zhiyuan, the purpose was to see this box of matches.

The corridors are dimly lit, making it hard to see from a distance.

See clearly now.

On the matchbox, there was a thumbs-up pattern and a line of words: Hongfa Restaurant, you can say yes when you come.

At the bottom is the ordering phone number of the restaurant.

Qi Yue noticed that the packaging of matches was very new, and a whole box was full, indicating that they had not been used a few times.

This is a gift from the merchant and cannot be bought anywhere. In other words, only when you dine at Hongfa Restaurant can you have a chance to get this kind of match.

Hongfa Restaurant is located on Xinmin Street, and Ning Zhiyuan's home is in Taiping Bridge. They are in opposite directions. It seems that he doesn't need to travel so far just to have a meal...

"Xiao Qi, let's go!"

Sergeant Zhang shouted from a distance.

Qi Yue put the matches back, and said to Ning Zhiyuan: "Brother Yuan, I'm leaving."

While talking, he quickly caught up with Sergeant Zhang.

On the way back, Qi Yue gradually straightened out his thoughts.

Recently, the Secret Service Division must have been carrying out secret missions near Xinmin Street, not too far from Penglaishun Hot Pot Restaurant.

Otherwise, Jiang Bin wouldn't suddenly change his mind when he said he was going to Penglaishun for dinner. As a member of the Secret Service, he certainly knew that something would happen there.

Secret mission?

Could it be related to Chen Zhongmian?
