Indiana Jones

Chapter 558 Turning around (01)

No matter how much Fang Yuanshan's actions will have an impact on what they are going to do now, Li Siming has no intention of just stopping and not doing it, but his attitude towards Fang Yuanshan has completely changed. Young man, but now it seems that this kid actually made a small report to his superiors behind his back. Although Li Siming is not a stingy person, he will never tolerate this kind of thing. He does things very simply and directly. He kicked Fang Yuanshan out of the team at the same time as he was doing, told him to get out, and went there for whatever he wanted, and let him find time to go back to Chongqing to go to Liang Wei to go through the resignation procedures. This kind of person is absolutely not tolerated in this team .

"Old man... I can only say I'm sorry." Li Siming said to the woodcutter, after all, Fang Yuanshan belonged to the woodcutter.

"It's not a good thing for a young man to show his sharpness too much. You have to teach him a lesson...Although this kid is not bad, he can't do that." The woodcutter also sighed, "I hope he can learn a lot from it, Surviving in a team is not so easy, I know he wants to be in the top position, but doing so is a bit unscrupulous and not worth advocating."

In fact, the woodcutter Fang Yuanshan still admired his follower, but this time he did not accept it. After all, in this team, several of them should be on the same front. Fang Yuanshan was indeed a little too much.

"Thank you, old man, for your understanding..." Li Siming said, in fact, he urgently needs the support of the woodcutter. After all, the status of the woodcutter in this team can be described as highly respected. Only with the support of this old man can he complete it more safely. what you want to do.

On the issue of continuing to search for clues, Li Siming's method is very simple, that is, to spread manpower and investigate in many ways. As long as there are sufficient manpower, he will get news quickly, so he asked Zhou Xiaopeng's people to wash a large number of Liu Xiaotian's photos and distribute them. Go down, and let these people take the photos to inquire along the way, find out which way Liu Xiaotian took to come back, and then determine the direction, narrow down the area little by little, and finally track down his return route and starting point. Although this method is not enough Smart, but safe enough, as long as there are enough people, I believe there will be results soon, but this requires a lot of people, and it can't be done by one or two people.

It can be said that Si Xuanyi's news touched everyone's heart. At least a few elderly people were really anxious, while the people below basically followed orders to work. After a few days and nights of inquisition, they finally found out where Liu Xiaotian came from. It was in a slum area in the suburbs of Shanghai. After confirming that Liu Xiaotian came back from there, the question came again, why did he run so far away? I went to that place, and then rushed back without stopping. What happened?
"This place..." Li Siming looked at the map and couldn't help frowning, as if all the suspected places didn't include this place, this place was ignored by them before, but one thing is for sure, Liu Xiaotian must go to that place The reason, in other words, he must have a purpose for going there, but they don't know it yet.

"Go and invite Zhou Xiaopeng here, this is his territory, maybe we can know more about the situation." Li Siming, who hadn't figured out what was going on for a long time, decided that it would be better to ask the locals to take a look.

To be honest, Zhou Xiaopeng has been busy for the past two days and has been a little dizzy, but he finally found some clues amidst all the clues. Although the work was stumbling, it was generally smooth. Enough explosives arrived, and the blasting was also carried out. Although it is not ideal for a few times, it may not be easy to fish out that thing, and it can be regarded as barely achieving the effect they expected. These two days are basically finishing the work, so he is also busy Seeing some hope, no matter how tired you are, people from the headquarters must be treated politely, so I hurried over here when I heard that there is a need.

After listening to what they said and carefully confirming the location on the map, Zhou Xiaopeng couldn't help but frowned, and after thinking for a moment he said: "This place is not simple, I don't know where your people went and what they did , but I always feel that he seems to have discovered something, so he came back to report."

"Speak clearly, I don't understand a little bit." Li Siming asked now without thinking.

"This slum area is not the point..." Zhou Xiaopeng moved his finger along the map, and finally stopped at the place near the outer suburbs above the slum area, "This is a restricted area artificially designated by the Japanese army to detain prisoners. It was they who identified the so-called serious criminals, and many of us were locked up there, where the Japanese army tortured these people by flying torture, looking for our military and political secrets, instigating against our senior intelligence personnel, and obtaining information from them."

"You mean... Liu Xiaotian escaped from here?" The woodcutter frowned, "Could it be that he was caught there and escaped by himself?"

But the woodcutter immediately realized that his thoughts were unrealistic. After all, it is basically difficult for a captured person to escape.Otherwise, it would be impossible to lock up so many important prisoners in that place.

"Or he escaped during the process of being escorted." Zhou Xiaopeng said, "Although this possibility is unlikely, it is not impossible. It's just...he was sent to that place directly. Could it be that the little devil captured him? At the same time, you know his identity or have guesses in this regard, and you directly believe that he has some valuable information, so you send him directly?"

"Does it need any conditions and review to be sent to that place?" Ye Feng asked.

"Under normal circumstances, those who are detained there are those who have important intelligence value to the Japanese army or high-level military and political officials. Not only will they be tortured there, but they will also be seduced with money and beauty. To be honest, we have already had many People became traitors and traitors, and were re-recruited by the Japanese army to join No. 76 as our enemy, which caused us huge losses.” Zhou Xiaopeng said, “Almost no one who entered there could escape. I wonder how he got out? Even on the way of escort, he felt that it was not so easy, but in such a short period of time, even if he betrayed, it is impossible for him to become a traitor so quickly. All of this makes no sense. "

"We've only found out where he came from now. As for how he escaped, further investigation is needed to find out. If it's outside, people will definitely see it. If it's inside..." Li Siming paused "It is possible that he has already betrayed. Before we rule out this possibility, we can't be negligent. Let him look... wait until the matter is clear. If he wakes up, ask him the purpose of coming back as soon as possible. We Go check it out now and see what's going on."

Li Siming is determined to clarify the matter, otherwise he will never give up. Of course, he has to adjust the deployment of personnel. The fact that the woodcutter stays behind has not changed. Fang Yuanshan was kicked out of the team, and there is no need for others They all followed, so he only brought Ye Feng and a few other smarter people. After all, there should not be too many people in that kind of place, otherwise it would be easy to expose the target.

Before setting off, Zhou Xiaopeng's people brought another unexpected news. The Japanese army seemed to be restarting the salvage work of those things again, because they got clues that the little devil was trying to bring a batch of salvage equipment from abroad. It is estimated that It will be able to arrive in the next few days, and they have also hired naval divers to help out. For them, this is really not good news. After all, it is not easy for them to stop the little devil under such circumstances. Although it can't be said that everything they did was a fluke, it almost exhausted all the resources they could use. If they did it again, they really weren't sure that they would be able to stop the little devil again.

However, Li Siming no longer cares about these things. He is currently troubled by Si Xuanyi's disappearance. For this matter, he must find out where Liu Xiaotian went, whether his whereabouts are related to Si Xuanyi, or whether he Knowing Si Xuanyi's whereabouts, after all, this is the only clue they have so far, so they can't care about anything else except this matter.

"We are indeed a bit disregarding the overall situation." Ye Feng said to Li Siming on the road, "This is not good for you, especially after Fang Yuanshan made a small report. Someone from above will come to replace you soon."

"As long as I can find out the whereabouts of the section chief before coming here, I don't care about the rest, they can do whatever they like." Li Siming said, "I will take the responsibility, and I won't hold you accountable." body."

"What are you talking about? If you're afraid of not taking responsibility, I won't follow you." Ye Feng shook his head, looking very angry, as if he felt that Li Siming didn't understand him enough.

"Now we are afraid that we can only rely on ourselves again. The situation is changing too fast. The little devil is still thinking about those things. Zhou Xiaopeng's people are all transferred back. We will not have so many manpower on our side at once. The detection of the slums is by no means an easy task, and we just don't have more time."

"There is always a way..." Ye Feng said, "No matter what, at least we should find out the matter as soon as possible, no matter whether the higher-ups will order or send someone to replace you, after all, the section chief and the others must be facing some kind of danger. Otherwise they won't come back."

"Actually, I know what you are all thinking." Li Siming said, "Some people think that the section chief died with the devils in that barren meadow, but we didn't find anything related to him except for the broken knife." , that's why I didn't give up my efforts. Even if I die with the devils, it's impossible to leave nothing. Maybe some people think that the explosion was so powerful that the bones of the section chief were gone, and even if they remained, they couldn't be identified. I It is only inferred from the number of those wreckages and the number of remains we found is far from enough, there must be someone still alive, such as Liu Xiaotian, we never thought that he would come back alive, but miracles did happen, although miracles cannot appear one after another , but at least we can still see a glimmer of hope that the class leader is still alive. The reason why he didn't come back may be that he was in trouble, or he couldn't help himself, or he was seriously injured, and he couldn't come back for a while. Either possibility is the reason we have to go on, I only have one request, to see people and dead bodies, otherwise I will never give up."

Li Siming's insistence left Ye Feng speechless, would he do this if he was the one missing?All of a sudden, he envied Si Xuanyi for having such a brother, a brother who was willing to risk everything for him. The more he was in this situation, he could tell whether a person was his friend or not. It is definitely a life-and-death friendship, a life-and-death friendship that can entrust each other's lives.

Although they had mentally prepared that this slum area was relatively large and it would be difficult to make progress in a short period of time, they discovered that the area here was really beyond their imagination, and it was more like a slum area. The super-large refugee camp is full of shacks and homeless poor people sleeping on the street. These people are all in shabby clothes and dull eyes. To put it bluntly, they are basically more breathless than dead people. The slums are full of garbage There is muddy water, urine and feces everywhere, children crying, adults screaming, and everything is messy.

"There are too many people..." Ye Feng said looking at the slums that could not be seen at a glance.

"They all escaped. If there is no war, who would want to leave home and wait to die in this place?" Li Siming sighed, "I believe that in the peaceful and prosperous age, there would not be such a large slum."

"It's all caused by the war..." Ye Feng sighed, not knowing what to say.

"Let's work!" Li Siming briefly observed the terrain, and then divided the entire civilian area into several smaller areas, and separated his hands to explore here one by one, using Liu Xiaotian's photos to find valuable clues. Someone can recognize this person who escaped from here. Of course, this task is not so easy to complete. Facing such a huge slum, they really feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Li Siming's civilian area went all the way in, but after a long time, he didn't find anything of value. Before he knew it, he approached the other side of the poor area, which was far away from the devil's secret camp. In the distance, a large barbed wire fence and several buildings can be seen in the distance.

Li Siming stood there looking in, when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, Li Siming jumped, and he turned his head immediately, it would be better to be surprised when he saw the person coming...
