Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 703 The mission of narrow escape
"No!" We objected in unison.

Now that the contact with the superior department has been cut off, Lao Yan is our action leader. If he leaves, who will direct our next actions?
And among us, when it comes to tracking ability, Lao Yan is at the bottom.

Lao Yan clamped the cigarette to his ears, and said slowly: "Then do you have any other methods?"

Although Chimei has seen Lao Yan, the one who sent him to prison 20 years ago was the gopher. He and Chimei have not met each other a few times. In 20 years, they may not be able to recognize each other. other side.

"Besides, there is another advantage if I go." Lao Yan chuckled: "No matter how courageous Chimei is, he wouldn't dare to attack me directly, unless he doesn't want to live."

I didn't say anything, did Chimei act like she wanted to live?
If he wanted to live, he should tuck his tail and live the rest of his life well when he came out of the prison. Isn't he trying to add to the crime and be sentenced to death?

Therefore, the advantage that Lao Yan mentioned does not exist at all, and if he goes, it is more likely to cause Chimei to fight back...

In fact, we all know that it is extremely dangerous for anyone to go this time, so we are all looking for the advantage of our own tracking, in order to take this danger onto ourselves.

But no one is a fool, so we discussed who should follow up for nearly half an hour without discussing why.

In the end, Kumbu, who had always been taciturn, said, "You don't have to argue, this terrain, this place, no one is more suitable than me!"

Miss Qiu immediately turned her head to look at him. The relationship between the two of them quickly strengthened behind the Efang Palace. Although they didn't say it clearly, we all knew that Miss Qiu was probably worried about him.

But from a rational point of view, we all know that what Kumbu said is right. It is really suitable for Kumbu to follow this village located in the jungle, but his goal is too obvious.

However, Kumbu didn't wait for us to refute, he opened his mouth again, saying that the sky will be dawn soon, there is no point in arguing like this, we will all send someone in the end, so why not send the most suitable one?

What he said left us speechless, and finally we had to nod silently.

"I'll go with you." Lao Yan still insisted, but Kumbu smiled and didn't say anything.

I looked at Lao Yan, and just as I was about to ask something, Lao Yan also looked at me: "Temporary command is handed over to you! Chang'an, we can only communicate with flares now, once for rescue, and twice for giving up, understand?"

"Understood!" I looked at Lao Yan and straightened my back involuntarily.

It is indeed a good combination for him and Kumbu to monitor together, but it is also very dangerous. Lao Yan's order is definitely not a simple explanation.

Seeing the figures of Lao Yan and Kumbu disappear into the darkness, my heart also hangs up --- Chimei is a ruthless character, and we can't expose them. Can they complete the monitoring task?

Although we hadn't slept almost all night, and now it was the most sleepy second half of the night, no one felt sleepy.

We sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at the village with binoculars from time to time, trying to see if there was anything unusual, but we couldn't see anything.

"Chang'an, if..." the gopher suddenly said.

I raised my hand and interrupted his words: "Senior, we were able to win 20 years ago, and I believe we will be no worse 20 years later."

The gopher suddenly laughed, saying that he is old and has no momentum like before. Yes, I could send him to prison 20 years ago, and I can send him to the guillotine 20 years later!
I also smiled, but I was really uneasy, not only because of the red eyebrows, but also because of this village like a grave...

Why did Chimei choose this place? Why was he able to control everyone in the village in such a short period of time?

All of this is not right, I know that such a village is generally tough, even if the Red Eyebrows threaten and lure them with guns, not [-]% of the people will give in.

But we don't see any struggle...

I looked at the gophers and drew on the ground with a branch: "Do you think this has long been their stronghold? For the past 20 years, the remnants of the red eyebrows have been operating here?"

The gopher's eyes lit up, and he took the branch and drew slowly.After a long while, he murmured that it was not impossible. For a year after Chimei was sent to prison, he was actually looking for these accomplices consciously, but it was strange that he couldn't find them at all, but now that he wanted to come In fact, back then he deliberately avoided the villages of these ethnic groups.

After all, conflicts between ethnic groups tend to intensify. As a member of 701, he cannot commit this taboo.

"Sure enough, it's not that simple. It looks like a simple method, but it's right at our dead end." The Gopher Squirrel sighed.

Indeed, not to mention the environment back then, even now we have to pay attention to the local customs and customs when we enter the village. Many small things that seem insignificant to us are very serious profanity to them.

This guy with red eyebrows is really not easy.

How could such a person be sent to prison by gophers?

It's not that I doubt the ability of the gopher, but this incident is too strange-how did he expect that he would be sent to prison, and then arrange all the people under him?
The gophers were staring at me, and the way it looked scared me.

"Well, senior, I'm not questioning you..." I scratched my hair.

The gopher shook his head and said that he was not thinking about this, but asked me to repeat the suspicion just now.

Ok?
Say it again?
I smiled awkwardly, didn't he want to settle accounts after Qiuhou?

But seeing his persistent appearance, I had to say it again, but this time I said it simpler.

The gopher squeaked and stood up, staring blankly in the direction of the village.

I asked him what was wrong, but he didn't speak.

"Senior, what are you..." I panicked, he didn't seem to mind me questioning him, but he seemed to have discovered something important.

The gopher retracted his gaze, his voice trembling: "Chang'an, you, you are right. I was able to catch the red eyebrow back then because of many coincidences. Now it seems...he may have done it on purpose."

I was a little embarrassed when he said this, and explained that it was just my wild imagination, why would the leader of a tomb robber gang send himself to prison for 20 years?One must know that if the evidence is found, he would have been sentenced to death back then. No one would joke about his own life, right?
"No, I couldn't be sentenced to death back then." The gopher looked terrified. I didn't understand what happened, so I just heard him continue: "When I grabbed Chimei back then, what he committed happened to be on the verge of death penalty. It just happened to be a high-pressure period... so he really did it on purpose in order to mitigate part of the sentence."

The voice of the gopher was full of anxiety: "No, if this is the case, his actions this time are too weird, Lao Yan and the others must be in danger!"

As he said that, he wanted to go down the mountain to save Lao Yan and the others. I quickly stopped him and told him not to be impulsive. No matter how reasonable all this sounds, no matter whether Chimei was arrested on purpose as we guessed, Now is not the time to act rashly.

"Senior, all this is just our speculation." I said heavily.

The gopher seemed to be pulled back a little by my voice, and I continued to persuade: "In any case, we can only wait for Lao Yan's signal flare."

If Lao Yan has not sent the signal flare for a long time, we can only wait.

This is the task that Lao Yanlin gave me before going down the mountain. No matter what, we can't rush in. What we are facing is a cunning fox, but if we rush in, we are likely to be caught by the other party.

"You're right." The gopher was discouraged, saying that he was really impulsive just now, but he couldn't help it when he thought that the red eyebrow was probably caught on purpose.

I understand his thoughts, even I can't hold back, but there is no way, the situation is forcing us, we can only hold back now!

We just stood there like this, and it took a long time for the gopher to calm down completely. He patted my shoulder and said don't worry about him, he was just fascinated for a while.

Even if Chimei did it on purpose back then, it's just that, now it's a new battle, as long as Chimei can be defeated again in this battle!
