Chen Sanyuan and Guan Guangheng were riding their bicycles along the road. When they were about to reach the edge of the city, they turned right and walked another 500 meters.
Ahead is a very dense forest.
Seeing the woods, Chen Sanyuan and Guan Guangheng breathed a sigh of relief. They were not looking in the wrong place.
Less than 500 meters past the woods, there is a large yard. Judging from the luxurious appearance, this should be their target - the home of the Taiwanese freight manager.
The freight manager of the Manchurian Railway Taiwan Branch may sound inconspicuous, but his power is astonishing. He is one of the general decision-makers for all Japanese supplies in Taiwan, although in theory there are two other officials from Japanese cabinet departments.
He is involved and responsible, but in actual operations, he is the only one who truly holds the real power.
The mission of Chen Sanyuan and others is to monitor the home of the freight manager of the Taiwan branch, find out his whereabouts, and find a way to get a special pass that can enter the Taiwan train station, so that at the last moment, the bomb can be sent to the station without inspection.
The reason why Chen Sanyuan and the others were allowed to complete this seemingly arduous task and approach the possibly heavily guarded home of such a big shot was because they had long known through insider information that the general decision-maker of Japan's supplies in Taiwan was not as ordinary as people imagined.
He was surrounded by numerous bodyguards and lived in a heavily guarded barracks.
Although he had accurate information, Chen Sanyuan still didn't understand why this Japanese would live in such a house that looked completely Chinese style instead of a Japanese-style small western-style house.
Chen Sanyuan and the others came to the yard and walked around the yard from a distance, but found that there was no one around.
Chen Sanyuan looked at the courtyard wall. It was a courtyard wall made of cement and bricks. The strange thing was that although it was a Western technology, it was a Chinese-style hollow pattern, with money-shaped windows made of bricks everywhere.
If it were in the past, Chen Sanyuan would not have thought of how to deal with this courtyard. Seeing the carved brick walls where feet could be inserted everywhere, Chen Sanyuan said to Guan Guangheng: "Just keep an eye on it, I'll go in and take a look."
Guan Guangheng was startled and said: "What? You want to go in? Didn't you ask us to monitor him? Don't take any chances. There are still many people inside. If they find out, we only have two guns, not others.
rival!"
Chen Sanyuan bent down and looked into the yard through the window of "Wealth and Money", and whispered: "The yard is so quiet, there is no movement at all, as if there is no one. I'll go in and take a look, there should be no problem. I don't know.
Whether the intelligence is accurate or not, let’s not waste time here.”
Guan Guangheng also hesitated.
Guan Guangheng didn't know whether the intelligence was really reliable. He understood deeply that their operation was one of the most important parts of the entire operation. Their friends pretending to be coolies were suffering there, and they had no time to waste.
They had been in this yard for a long time, but they didn't see anyone or hear any sound in this yard. This was so abnormal. Even he thought there was no one in this yard.
So Guan Guangheng also agreed with Chen Sanyuan to go in and check it out.
The two men retreated into the woods and put their bicycles there.
Chen Sanyuan took off his shoes again and put on rubber shoes.
Guan Guangheng asked in surprise: "Are you crazy? What are you going to do?"
Chen Sanyuan said in a low voice: "These shoes have no sound, and they move quickly. Anyway, it only takes a while, and you can't get too cold. Just endure it for a while. The most important thing is not to alert the people inside."
Guan Guangheng came to hide behind a big tree not far from the gate. He put his hand into his trousers pocket and held the horse card inside, ready to fire when encountering a situation to block the enemy and cover Chen Sanyuan.
Chen Sanyuan came to the backyard, climbed up to the top of the wall by stepping on the gap in the brick wall, and then jumped lightly into the yard.
This is a typical Chinese-style courtyard. Chen Sanyuan is very familiar with the structure of such a courtyard. Behind the courtyard are some warehouses for storing debris. The larger the family, the more particular they are, the more debris they have, and the less house they need.
more.
The place Chen Sanyuan wants to go is the front house. The living room, bedroom, and master's room should all be in a house in the middle of the yard.
Chen Sanyuan immediately found the target and walked quietly forward!
The ground in the entire yard is very clean, and it seems like someone really cleans it regularly.
Chen Sanyuan carefully observed while walking forward. He came to the front of the main house and looked at the concierge in front. It was far away from there. There was no one in front of the concierge. It was cold and the concierge was hiding in the house warming himself by the fire. No one noticed
Someone has arrived here.
When Chen Sanyuan came to the front door, he discovered that the door was not a Chinese-style door lock as he had imagined, but a hidden lock with a spherical brass handle.
Chen Sanyuan tried to twist it slightly, and the door opened gently.
It seems that there are still people in the house.
Chen Sanyuan looked back and saw that the entire courtyard was empty and extremely quiet.
Chen Sanyuan thought to himself that he had already come in anyway and had arrived at the unattended door of the living room. If he went back empty-handed, it would be like entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed. It would be a pity.
It's an adventure anyway, so why not try it again and go in and have a look.
Chen Sanyuan took out the tortoise box and held it in his left hand. He gently opened the door with his right hand and looked inside.
Still no one inside.
Chen Sanyuan stepped in with one step, then quickly closed the door, stood leaning against the door, and looked inside.
This kind of Chinese-style house was very familiar to Chen Sanyuan. Inside was the living room. Chen Sanyuan carefully scanned the entire living room.
There was also no one in the living room, so Chen Sanyuan gently entered the depths of the living room.
The living room is also decorated in traditional Chinese style, but it is very luxurious.
Chen Sanyuan saw that the whole room was antique, and the furniture was authentic Chinese Ming Dynasty style...
Chen Sanyuan suddenly discovered that since he entered the living room, his whole body had warmed up, and his feet, which were almost numb from the cold, also felt warm.
Suddenly he heard the sound of the door behind him, followed by a strange sound of beating bamboo boards as dense as a heavy rain. He hurriedly jumped forward, jumped over the red sandalwood round table in the middle of the living room, and rushed into the room behind the living room in a few steps.
He hid his body at the door of the room on the side and looked out.
Only then did he realize that it was a Japanese maid in kimono who walked in quickly with her head lowered. She went to a corner of the living room, opened a small incense burner and put in a piece of spices, and then walked out dragging her clogs "Talitara".
.
Chen Sanyuan secretly praised the danger.
However, it was only at this time that he discovered the feeling that there were only Japanese people living in this house.
It seems that although there are people in this courtyard, there are not many people. There are only a few servants scattered in the gatehouse at the far end of the courtyard and the servants' quarters on the side.
Chen Sanyuan became bolder and said, now this house belongs to me alone!
Chen Sanyuan immediately came out of the side door openly and searched the living room.
As expected, there was nothing useful in the living room.
Chen Sanyuan was not disappointed and walked towards the back room again.
At the back is the study room, which should be a place where there are some useful things.
However, what disappoints Chen Sanyuan is that although the study is full of desks and cabinets, most of them are locked. Although Chen Sanyuan learned most of the secret service profession from his elder brother Wang Tianmu, lock picking is a highly professional job.
Chen Sanyuan has not learned this part yet.
Chen Sanyuan took out his Mongolian knife and was trying to pry open the lock on the desk when he suddenly heard the sound of the door and voices in front of him. He hurried to the door of the study and looked outside.
As soon as Chen Sanyuan looked outside, he saw a man wearing a top hat and a gray suit walking towards him quickly, holding a pistol.
Behind this man, there were two people dressed similarly to him standing at the door, looking around eagerly.
Chen Sanyuan hurriedly backed away at full speed, clinging to the bookcase and retreating to the back corner. Then, out of haste, he ducked behind the long curtain.
The man carrying the pistol opened the study door, took a brief look inside, and then retreated.
Chen Sanyuan felt very strange. There was no sound just now. There was no reason. How could someone come to search?
Chen Sanyuan hid behind the curtain and did not dare to move. He was highly focused and listened to the sounds coming from outside.
There were several people talking in Japanese outside, but Chen Sanyuan couldn't understand a word.
After saying a few words, someone went out and the door slammed shut.
There was no sound in the room for a while, but Chen Sanyuan still didn't dare to move.
Fortunately, he didn't move. After a while, the study door opened and someone came in.
This man came to the study room, and like Chen Sanyuan just now, he opened bookcases and drawers everywhere.
Chen Sanyuan poked half of his face out from behind the curtain, revealing one eye.
He saw a short old man, wearing a warm Chinese mandarin jacket and long gown, who looked very warm.
However, this man did not feel warm. He held a white silk handkerchief in one hand and kept rubbing his nose. He might have caught a cold.
Chen Sanyuan felt a little strange when he saw that he hadn't opened the drawers in the study. Could it be that he didn't have the key either?
Chen Sanyuan already knew that this house belonged to the Japanese manager. It was supposed to be the time for the Japanese manager to go to work, and he had not come back yet.
So this old Chinese man is also a guest?
Why did he come to someone's study? Is he also looking for something?
After a while, the study door opened again, and there was another sound of Japanese clogs, then there was a sound of drinking water, and then there was another sound of Japanese clogs.
Judging from the sound, it was the Japanese maid who came and left.
Chen Sanyuan hid behind the curtain and waited calmly until the whole house was silent for a long time before he came out from behind the curtain.
At this time, he saw the old man sitting behind the desk, reading a book in his hand.
Chen Sanyuan thought to himself that the person who dealt with this Japanese devil could only be a traitor. Since we couldn't let people block the house and not get out for a lifetime, he might as well kill the traitor and rush out.
The old man was concentrating on reading when he suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes. He looked up and was shocked to find that Chen Sanyuan was standing in front of him!
