Xichaogou is a low-lying area and is located in the lower reaches of the Songhua River. During the rainy season and flood season, the roads are muddy and it is common for homes to get flooded.
Especially in the summer, dirty water flows, mosquitoes are rampant, and the environment is very harsh. Most of the poor living here are the poorest of the lowest class. Anyone who has any ability would have moved elsewhere long ago.
Xichaogou has gradually become synonymous with filth and chaos. There are fewer and fewer residents. Not to mention that ten rooms are empty, at least half of the houses are uninhabited.
The convoy of the Special Service Division drove into Xichao Valley.
Liu Wenlong said: "At the beginning of September last year, I came here to investigate a case. It was also night at that time. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. As soon as I got off the car, I thought I had fallen into a ditch. I shined a flashlight on it. Oh my god,
There is water everywhere, don’t go in without wearing rain boots.”
Qi Yue looked around: "I have never been to this place once..."
Gao Kejian said: "Captain Liu, we will go in and arrest people in a while. We must leave them alive!"
Liu Wenlong said: "I understand."
The arrest operation went step by step.
Liu Wenlong led a group of people to block the back door, while Qi Yue led a group of people to arrest the person.
At night, it was pitch dark near Xichaogou.
Occasionally, one or two dogs barked in the distance.
Liu Wenlong whispered: "Zhao Zhenhai, take a few people to guard the nearby exit!"
Zhao Zhenhai took several people away.
No. 7, Xichaogou, is a dilapidated alley with almost a dozen households. The innermost household is the residence of "Lingbishan".
This is a tile-roofed house with three rooms in total, with bedrooms on the left and right, and a main room and kitchen in the middle. Houses with this layout are very common in the area.
The courtyard gate is locked from the inside and is surrounded by a fence as high as a person.
Qi Yue made a gesture to Ma Zhuang. Ma Zhuang took the hint, took out the dagger from his trousers, put it into the crack of the door and gently raised it, and the door bolt was pushed aside.
After entering the courtyard, the agent tried to push the door open.
Surprisingly, the door was unlocked.
Qi Yue waved his hand, and the agents swarmed in with guns.
There was a light on in the main room, and there were two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, a plate of salted radish strips, a bowl of egg sleeve soup, and a few cornmeal steamed buns in a basket on the peeled-off Eight Immortals table.
A man of about thirty years old, holding a steamed bun in one hand and a spoon in the other, saw a group of wolf-like guys rushing in. He was so shocked that he almost fell off his stool.
"do not move!"
The hard muzzle of the gun was pressed against his head.
Both bedrooms were empty.
The agents handcuffed the man behind his back.
The man's face turned pale: "You, you..."
I said "you" twice, but I don't know what else to say.
Seeing this formation, he was frightened.
Someone among the secret agents who knew him whispered to Qi Yue: "This guy's name is Sun Liang. He is a gangster from the Xicaogou area. He usually does anything."
Qi Yue looked at the bowls and chopsticks on the table and asked Sun Liang: "Why is it just you and the other one?"
Sun Liang said: "He just went out..."
"May I have your name?"
"...Sun Liang."
"What's that man's name?"
"Li Fu."
"You two, who is Lingbishan?"
"he is."
"what is your job?"
"Help me with loading cargo and stuff..."
Sun Liang drooped his head.
Once the agents are caught, they are also afraid. After all, there are still a few who are strong-willed. With the gun pointed to their head, there are not a few who immediately confess.
At this time, Gao Kejian and Liu Wenlong also entered the room.
Qi Yue said: "Only one was caught, and the other ran away. Oh, his name is Sun Liang, and the one who ran away is Li Fu, codenamed Lingbishan."
Gao Kejian frowned: "Run away? Could it be that you went out temporarily because of something?"
"I'm asking you!"
Ma Zhuang patted Sun Liang on the head.
Sun Liang said: "The dog kept barking just now. He said he was going out to take a look, but he never came back. Maybe he saw you guys coming and hid..."
Liu Wenlong said: "This guy is very smart!"
Gao Kejian thought for a while: "Who is Lingbishan? You can't just listen to one side of the story. Go and bring Wang Xutao. Captain Liu, search the room."
Wang Xutao claimed to have seen Lingbi Mountain and asked him to see it with his own eyes to know whether Sun Liang was lying.
Jiang Bin led a group of people to search for Lingbi Mountain who might be "hiding".
There is only one way in and out of Xichaogou, and the people from the Secret Service did not meet anyone just now. According to common sense, Lingbishan is most likely hiding nearby.
Soon, Wang Xutao was brought to Sun Liang.
Liu Wenlong asked: "Do you know this person?"
Wang Xutao shook his head: "I don't know."
"Officer, I'm just an errand boy, please let me go..."
Sun Liang said pitifully.
Gao Kejian asked: "Who is your superior?"
Sun Liang was stunned when he heard this: "What superior?"
Liu Wenlong sternly scolded: "Sun Liang, I'm warning you, if you want to survive, you must tell the truth, otherwise, I will kill you now!"
Ma Zhuang put his pistol on Sun Liang's head again.
This is just a threat, there is no way he will actually shoot.
Generally speaking, in order to facilitate communication, the residences of superiors and subordinates are not too far apart. If a gun is fired, it will easily alert other comrades.
Sun Liang said with a sad face: "I am an accomplice at most, and I will shoot him as soon as he comes up..."
Liu Wenlong said coldly: "If you were planning to kill His Majesty the Emperor in the past, the least I could do would be to confiscate your home and kill you, and shoot you. Well, you can just enjoy it secretly!"
Sun Liang was stunned: "Are you making a mistake in plotting to kill His Majesty the Emperor?"
Liu Wenlong sneered: "Pretend to be stupid!"
At this time, a special agent came excitedly to report: "Section Chief, we have made an important discovery!"
The room was sparsely furnished and there were not many places to hide things. The agents were all experts at searching. Without much effort, they found a brown leather suitcase from the mezzanine of the wardrobe.
Inside the suitcase was a radio station that was not old but not new. Even if Sun Liang did not confess, this was irrefutable evidence. The moment the suitcase was opened, a faint odor wafted out.
For Qi Yue, this smell was too familiar—it was stinking vine!
Why is there stinky vine in the box?
He glanced at Wang Xutao, who was standing aside, and saw a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. Qi Yue had already experienced this subtle change in emotion once on Central Street.
He suddenly understood that the whole thing was probably a trap!
During the implementation of the Tianlei plan, neither Lingbishan nor Wang Chunlin could openly carry bombs. They should at least make necessary disguises.
For example, put it in a suitcase.
At this moment, when I smelled the smell of vines again, it was obvious that the reason was the same, to prevent the Secret Service from bringing in police dogs.
If it is confirmed that it is the hiding place in Lingbi Mountain, there is a high probability that the radio station will be found. There is no need to use stinky vines to cover up the smell of engine oil.
There is only one possibility. The smelly vine is to cover up the smell of black gunpowder. This radio station should be an empty shell with a bomb used to blow up Kant!
