Chapter 11 Thorough Search
Chapter 11 Thorough Search
Yingfu Street is located near Zhonghua Gate, and the houses on this street are all traditional Chinese courtyard houses.
There weren't many people on the street at the time. Several cars sped along Yingfu Street and stopped together when they reached No. 18.
Lin Jiang got out of the car first, followed closely by Shen Yi.
Su Maoze got off the truck behind him, and a group of agents in the truck bed also jumped off.
Ma Li and several people got out of a car opposite them.
"Team Leader Ma, you're really fast! You disappeared in the blink of an eye," Lin Jiang said with a smile.
"It's all for the sake of the Party and the country," Ma Li said without batting an eye.
Lin Jiang sneered at Ma Li, whose face was thicker than a city wall, and then ordered Su Mao, "Send men to keep watch around the area. Arrest any suspicious persons you see."
The news of the former leader of the Black Crow Group's death was reported by his assistant. The radio and codebook were also placed here by the assistant before being reported. Ito Takehiko still doesn't know their exact location.
He said that after he moved in, someone would come to find him and tell him exactly where his things were.
This person is very likely the former team leader's assistant, and Lin Jiang's purpose in arranging for people to keep watch is precisely because of that assistant.
Time is of the essence; he can't keep waiting for his assistant to come to him, and it's uncertain whether the assistant will even confess.
Therefore, searching directly is the fastest way.
"Take men in to search, but be careful."
Although Takehiko Ito didn't seem to be lying, those who work as spies should still be careful.
"yes!"
Ma Li also gave orders to the people behind her.
Both teams now have the same intelligence; it's a matter of who can gather it faster.
The agents were all very professional; some knocked on the door, others climbed over the wall, and only after finding no one inside did they swarm in.
Seeing that nothing unexpected happened after the little spy went in, Lin Jiang led Shen Yi inside as well.
Seeing this, Ma Li followed them inside.
There are only two buildings inside: one is the kitchen, and the other is a two-story building.
After entering, Lin Jiang and Ma Li went straight to the building, and Shen Yi followed them after glancing at the kitchen.
The building had been turned upside down, with a group of secret agents searching high and low.
Shen Yi joined in, tapping on the wall as he walked to see if there were any hidden compartments.
However, the search yielded no results.
Not only him, but the other spies also found nothing.
. . . . . .
First floor.
"Damn it! I really want to just tear this house down!" Lin Jiang cursed when he realized he hadn't gotten anything out of it.
He's been given the location; if he still can't find it, then he's incompetent.
"Search carefully!" Ma Li roared from the side.
"Report!"
At this moment, a secret agent escorted a man in from outside and said to Lin Jiang.
"Team leader, this guy saw us surrounding this place and then turned around and left. I thought he was suspicious, so I just grabbed him."
"Sir, I'm innocent! I was just scared when I saw so many people, so I left. I was just passing by!" the man cried out.
"Snapped!"
Lin Jiang slapped him across the face. "What are you afraid of if you have nothing to hide?"
"Speak! Are you a Japanese spy?"
"No...no! I was really just passing by!"
The man continued shouting, looking pitiful, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.
Upon seeing this, Ma Li immediately drew her gun and pressed it against the man's forehead. "You're lying!"
The man was startled, and his legs began to tremble.
A puddle of warm water appeared at his feet.
Seeing this, Ma Li laughed and then put the gun away. "Looks like he really was just passing by."
"Team Leader Lin, your men are quite vigilant."
Lin Jiang frowned. He realized that Ma Li was being sarcastic towards him, but instead of scolding the subordinate, he directly retorted.
"Of course, we must always be vigilant when dealing with Japanese spies."
After saying that, he waved his hand, "Take him away first."
"yes!"
The agent was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this; he had just thought he had caught a big fish.
At this moment, Shen Yi came downstairs. He had just searched the second floor but found nothing.
They happened to witness the spy escorting the man away.
"Brother Shen, have you discovered anything?"
Lin Jiang asked expectantly when he saw Shen Yi come down.
Shen Yi has given him so many surprises, and he hopes this time will be no different.
Shen Yi shook his head. "No."
Lin Jiang's face fell upon hearing this, but he still patted Shen Yi on the shoulder.
"It's okay, search more carefully, and if all else fails, just tear this down!"
Shen Yi turned to look at the two people who had just left and asked, "Brother Lin, who was that man?"
"The subordinates thought it was suspicious and brought it over for questioning, but after Team Leader Ma verified it, it has been cleared of suspicion."
Lin Jiang responded.
At this moment, Shen Yi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, because he noticed that the man being supported had turned his head to the side, and that direction was right towards the kitchen.
Seeing this, he quickly went outside and shouted, "Wait a minute!"
As he shouted, he noticed the man pause for a moment, and his legs, which had been somewhat weak, pushed off the ground, but he quickly recovered.
The agent turned to Shen Yi with a puzzled look. "Deputy Team Leader Shen, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Lin Jiang and Ma Li also came out; they had both just heard Shen Yi's shout.
Shen Yi did not answer, but slowly walked towards the man.
He patted the other person's face with his hand, and two images appeared in his mind, but there was no useful information.
However, the other party's physical reaction just now revealed a lot; the other party is at least a skilled operator.
Such a person is sufficient to be a carrier pigeon's assistant.
"What were you looking over there for just now?"
Shen Yi pointed to the kitchen next to him as he spoke.
"I...I didn't."
"Really not?"
"Deputy Team Leader Shen, aren't you being a little too cautious?"
At this moment, Ma Li walked over. Although he thought Shen Yi was a decent person, he had already verified that man's abilities. Shen Yi's actions were a way of questioning his capabilities.
Ma Li scoffed dismissively, "He was so scared he peed his pants just now. How could someone like that be a Japanese spy?"
Shen Yi glanced at Ma Li but didn't say anything.
Given his background, there was absolutely no need for him to give Ma Li any face. Since Ma Li was polite to him, he would naturally be polite to him in return.
But now the other party is not so polite.
Lin Jiang also came over, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he stared at the man and observed him carefully.
He believed that Shen Yi wouldn't suddenly say that; he must have figured something out.
However, he didn't notice anything unusual; the fear on the man's face didn't seem fake.
"Brother Shen, what did you figure out?" Lin Jiang asked directly.
"I've noticed something, but I'm not sure yet," Shen Yi said. "Brother Lin, I think it would be better to have someone else escort him."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang immediately stepped forward and pinned the man down. "With me here, he can't escape."
Ma Li frowned upon seeing this; these two were completely ignoring her!
Shen Yi smiled and then walked towards the kitchen.
The kitchen was even more chaotic at this point, with all sorts of pots, pans, and dishes scattered all over the floor.
Several agents stood at attention when they saw Lin Jiang and Ma Li enter.
"How's the search going?" Ma Li asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, and one of them stammered, "Reporting to the team leader, we didn't find anything."
