Chapter 225 Hiding
It would take two or three days for Li Ran to come. After all, Li Di was now a big shot, and he couldn't see him immediately if he wanted to. Even ordinary people might not be able to squeeze out time to come on the same day.
Zhen Diuzu and his third sister lived in a self-built house similar to that in the urban-rural fringe area. The self-built houses were very dense, and the alleys ran through and connected them like the lines of a chess board. The house had no front or back yard, poor ventilation, and was not comfortable to live in.
The self-built house No. 187 where the Zhendiu group is located is similar to other self-built houses, with three floors, a large living room at the entrance, a small kitchen, a dining table in the living room, and stairs to the second and third floors. The rooms are large but few, with only two rooms on each floor.
In the middle of the alley network, there is a slightly wider road, which is locked on both sides and only allows special vehicles to pass. It is also a specially cleared road. Other roads in the alley are too narrow for vehicles to pass. Cui Jian rode a small electric donkey to reach the self-built house No. 185.
Yesterday, Zhao Ai and Duanmu took the lead and installed three cameras at the intersection of the alley under the cover of night. They were hung directly on the street lights, making it look like an official security surveillance system.
Cui Jian's room is on the second floor, Zhao Ai and Duanmu's rooms are on the third floor. Cui Jian can see the main entrance of No. 187 after opening the window. There is an alley in between, and the straight-line distance is less than four meters. There are balconies on the second and third floors of No. 187. If you try hard and have enough speed, you can jump directly from No. 187 to No. 185.
Unlike the underground wires in the city, the self-built housing area uses outdoor lines, and the wires and cables are intertwined. There is a line on the third floor of No. 187 connecting to the second floor of No. 3. This is one of the means of escape in the event of an attack.
This area of self-built houses has been planned and will be completely demolished next year, but there are still many tenants, the main reason being that they are cheap. A self-built house can accommodate many people and is the first choice for dormitories for employees of many small and medium-sized companies.
Cui Jian entered the bedroom, put down his backpack, and opened his laptop, which showed surveillance footage. In order to prevent the criminals from using mobile phone signal jammers, they were not only provided with walkie-talkies, but also computers, through which they could call for support with one click.
Lunch was instant noodles. Duanmu explained the tactical coordination on a small blackboard. After discovering the criminals, they would harass them from behind and block the intersection.
Cui Jian raised his hand to interrupt: "It is impossible for the criminals to attack according to the best method you mentioned, because a lot of information is needed. First, they need to know 187 and 185, and secondly, they need to understand the situation in the alley. It is easy for residents to call the police in advance when attacking during the day, and when there are many people attacking at night, the footsteps will be very loud."
Cui Jian: "We all know that most of Qixi's gunmen are half-baked. In your optimal attack plan, they must not only coordinate with the squad, but the squad must also coordinate with other teams. They need to infiltrate and hide in the designated combat locations in an orderly manner. It's not that I look down on them, they can't do it."
Cui Jian: "I think their plan was to get out of the car, come on foot with weapons, block the front door, and seize the opportunity to storm. The possibility of arson cannot be ruled out."
Zhao Ai was surprised and said, "You said a lot."
Cui Jian: "It concerns my life."
Zhao Ai smiled and said, "I agree with Cui Jian's opinion. If we only rely on Qi Xi, I think it will be difficult for them to find the hiding place and organize an attack within two days. But, did we think wrong from the beginning?"
The two looked at Zhao Ai, who explained, "It's true that Qi Xi controls the cemetery, and it's true that Qi Xi controls most of the Hancheng Bai Gang, but Qi Xi is still a wage earner, and the real godfather is Li Di. Qi Xi used the cemetery and the Bai Gang, which is equivalent to dragging Li Di into the water passively. I don't think Li Di wants to see this situation. Although Diudiu, Li Ran, and the Ye family seem to have no connection, there are connections between them. And Li Di is a glamorous and successful businessman after all."
Zhao Ai: "Qi Xi can also use a second method to seek revenge: hire someone to kill. The Three Birds have a cooperative relationship with the cemetery, and the cemetery provides them with the necessary materials, including weapons. Of the Three Birds, Blackbird will obviously not participate in murders. Springbird is a professional killer gang, and they take these jobs. Don't ignore the Northern Harriers either. Although the Northern Harriers are a kidnapping gang, they never leave anyone alive. Since they have the Blackbirds and Northern Harriers to play, and Qi Xi is not short of money, why should they use local resources to make things worse?"
Zhao Ai: "Look, the Bai Gang killed Diudiu and the other two. The top chaebols such as the Ye family, the Li family and the Lin family must know that it is related to Li Di. They prefer to play the game according to the rules of the business circle, but are unwilling to be subject to the Godfather's threat of force, so it is hard to say what will happen in the future."
Duanmu admired: "You are very smart."
Cui Jian nodded in agreement. Smart, smart, smart. But it was a little naive. Duanmu was discussing the best offensive plan to deal with the Bai Gang. Do you think Li Ran and Duanmu would not consider Bei Yao and Chun Que?
If it was just that, it wouldn't be a big deal. Cui Jian didn't know much about the situation. Although Zhao Ai had worked with him for four days, she was basically guarding the gate and rarely communicated. His question was: Did Zhao Ai know too much about Li Di, Qi Xi and others? Not only that, Zhao Ai had mastered the information about the three major chaebols' circles, cemeteries, and three birds beyond normal cognition.
It is not a bad thing for a child to be too outspoken when he or she is just starting out in society. However, if you are too outspoken while having ulterior motives, you may get yourself into trouble.
Being a bodyguard uses the information of a bodyguard in your head. Being a villain uses the information of a villain in your head. Without the ability to act and a vague identity, Zhao Ai's path to being a villain is bound to be extremely difficult.
Duanmu didn't seem to notice. He pulled out a large piece of paper from his bag and hung it on the small whiteboard with a magnet. "This is the estimated infiltration strategy. First, use drones to conduct reconnaissance, down to the details of door locks, etc., and launch the first wave of assaults to blow out our 185 reserve forces. Block the alleys and circle the battle area. Finally, the police will enter and take away Zhendiu's third sister, and assassinate the three people when the police and the three people walk to the intersection."
Duanmu: "There is no need for Chunque and Beiyao to enter the scene. As long as there is a relatively powerful tactical maker and a short coordination training for the operatives, the plan can be completed. This plan has a high tolerance rate and is very suitable for gangs like Qixi that have people and guns. Of course, I support Zhao Ai's opinion. The Bai Gang is unlikely to get involved in this matter."
Cui Jian said: "I think the Bai Gang will do auxiliary work, deliver weapons, send intelligence, and conduct reconnaissance, but they will not participate in the exchange of fire."
Duanmu: "Before the negotiation ends, if the criminals find us, we need to assist 187 to hold out for ten minutes. Therefore, we must take turns to be on duty to monitor the intersection. If we find them early, we still have time to retreat and avoid a firefight. This job is boring, but very important."
Duanmu raised his voice: "Especially the one who was slacking off."
Cui Jian reminded: "Manager Li is not here."
Duanmu laughed dryly, and Cui Jian said, "The company's technical colleagues are monitoring us. We need to act at any time, so we should conserve our strength and energy."
Duanmu: "Monitoring is only one reason for being on duty. We also need the person on duty to pay attention to the surrounding situation and receive information from the technical department."
Cui Jian nodded: "I understand, I'm on night shift." I won't argue with you about the truth, but I'll argue with you about a chance to sleep.
Duanmu was helpless: "I work from 8am to 4pm, Zhao Ai works from 4pm to midnight, and Cui Jian works from midnight to 12am the next day. It's a maximum of 12 hours. Cui Jian, you better pay attention, because we can't rule out the possibility that the other party will make a big move."
Zhao Ai asked: "What is a king bomb?"
Duanmu said: "For example, Shui Yao, who is active in Hancheng, has the ability to enter No. 187 quietly and assassinate everyone inside one by one. It may only take about ten seconds for him to disappear from the screen and enter No. 187. So we have to keep an eye on him."
Zhao Ai was not sure, "Not really? Will Qi Sha help Qi Xi?"
Duanmu: "For example, suppose, possibly, maybe, for example. There are many talented people in this world, and no one knows who the opponent they are about to face will be."
The girl knew about Qi Sha, but her basic knowledge of Qi Sha came from the Internet, and her understanding was vague. This was in stark contrast to her knowledge of Qi Xi, Li Di, and others. This further confirmed that she had other intentions in staying in Korea. …
Xiao Mao is a bad student. Since he recognized the boss, his academic performance has plummeted. In Korea, Japan and even Hong Kong, the trend of female students doing that for money is quite serious. There is a special term called "Yi X". Xiao Mao is the pimp he works for. His daily task is not to study, but to persuade female students not to add burden to their parents and to make money independently.
Of course, Xiao Mao thought he was a man of integrity, never cheating or forcing anyone, and would strive for the best interests of female students. His boss appreciated him very much, and everyone in the school knew Xiao Mao's name. He also reaped the benefits and dated some of the most beautiful girls in the school.
Just as Xiao Mao was about to go to school, the leader of the group tagged everyone and introduced his boss, Brother Kun. Brother Kun didn't say anything and threw out a few photos. Whoever could secretly find where these people were staying would follow him in the future. The so-called following him means directly becoming Brother Kun's little brother. Xiao Mao's boss used to be Brother Kun's little brother, but now he is in charge of a nightclub. It is said that he has too much money and women to spend.
Xiao Mao looked at the photo of the third sister again and again, but he was not sure, so he privately chatted with his eldest brother: "I think I saw her yesterday."
Ten minutes later, Xiao Mao was picked up by a car and taken to the car modification factory, where Brother Kun met Xiao Mao in person.
Xiao Mao told Brother Kun that he had seen the third sister in the self-built housing area yesterday evening. At that time, the third sister was smoking on the balcony on the second floor, holding the balcony with both hands, holding a cigarette in her mouth, and watching the sunset. At that time, he felt that the third sister's temperament instantly killed all the little girls. Seeing a real woman, Xiao Mao left a deep impression on the third sister.
After just a few seconds of watching, the woman put out her cigarette, turned around and went back to her room. Xiao Mao returned home in a daze.
Which house?
Xiao Mao couldn't be sure, he just remembered that it should be a self-built house in the four small areas of No. 150-200. The main reason was that the self-built houses were too similar, even the alleys were very close, and he was so confused that he couldn't determine the exact location. The information he could provide was that it was two or three houses away from the alley intersection. According to the position of the sun, the door of the self-built house where she was should face north.
Under Brother Kun's patient guidance, he finally identified the 150 self-built houses that the third sister might be in, No. 160-180 and No. 190-22. Brother Kun personally escorted Xiao Mao to the car, gave him his business card, and told Xiao Mao to contact him if he encountered any trouble in his territory in the future.
……
After eating instant noodles for lunch, Cui Jian suggested ordering fresh ingredients online, but was rejected by the project manager Duanmu. As a result, Zhao Ai suffered from severe abdominal pain in the afternoon. Cui Jian expressed his admiration for Zhao Ai, who could get gastroenteritis even from instant noodles. He contacted the hospital, carried Zhao Ai on his back for more than 100 meters, and sent her to the roadside in the middle of the alley network.
When the ambulance arrived at one end of the middle road, the security guard unlocked the door and put away the metal piers on the road. The ambulance passed through and could not turn around after picking up Zhao Ai. It could only drive forward and exit from the other end of the road.
Cui Jian: "Don't you really need me to accompany you?"
Zhao Ai waved her hands: "I'm sorry, this happened on my first mission." Her voice was very soft, as if she was putting most of her strength into her sphincter.
"It's okay, just contact the company's logistics yourself." Cui Jian went to see the doctor. Let's go. I have nothing to say.
The arrival of the ambulance still attracted some people's attention. The road the ambulance drove on was the main road in the alley network, with many small businesses. Cui Jian did not move forward but retreated. Instead of leaving immediately, he bought thirty hot scallion pancakes nearby and took two bottles of Coke.
Cui Jian observed that when he started to buy scallion pancakes, no one paid attention to him. If he left in a hurry, it would attract other people's interest and talk. Because leaving in a hurry means that the matter is urgent and mysterious, which are factors that attract other people's attention.
While sending Zhao Ai to the ambulance, Yiyi and Duanmu kept watching the surveillance. Duanmu stared at the three surveillance cameras of the support team, while Yiyi watched the surveillance camera of the middle road, looking for any suspicious persons, watching back and forth repeatedly until they were sure there was no problem.
Cui Jian brought back the scallion pancake and Coke. Duanmu took the scallion pancake and ate it while saying, "Old Li called and said Li Di was in Japan to discuss a business deal and would be back in Hancheng tomorrow afternoon. If he's lucky, the matter could be settled the day after tomorrow. It was said that when the person hired by Old Li talked to Li Di on the phone, Li Di's attitude was relatively friendly. But he mentioned the issue of compensation."
Cui Jian asked suspiciously: "It's just one bullet, and you still ask them to pay for it?" That's too much.
Duanmu was speechless: "We are the ones who will compensate."
Cui Jian: "Let him sue. He will pay whatever the judge says."
Duanmu: "Why, life is not going as you wish, and you argue with me?"
Cui Jian: “It’s a bit depressing.”
Duanmu became interested: "Why?"
Cui Jian: "Xueying has returned to Busan. Suddenly there is one less person in the house. It is inevitable that I am a little uncomfortable. In the past, when I cooked, I would think about what day of the week it was and how many people I would like to cook for. I thought about breakfast for a long time today before I remembered that she had returned to Busan."
Duanmu asked curiously, "Why are you going back to Busan?"
Cui Jian: "It is said that he is worried that I will fall in love with her."
Although Duanmu did not have definite evidence, he speculated from Yun Xinyue's performance and other information that Cui Jian was very likely Yun Xinyue's eldest son. But Duanmu would not touch this mine. He knew that everyone had restricted areas, and the result of detonating this mine would definitely not be good for him. In a serious case, he and Cui Jian would not even be friends. In a mild case, it would cause endless troubles to Cui Jian.
This kind of trouble was not fun at all in Duanmu's opinion.
Duanmu's career has been on the rise. The Raincoat Man established friendly relations with Qi Sha and launched the Dome Project. His underground empire expanded rapidly. One of the main reasons why he still worked as a bodyguard was to expose himself to the public, so that no one would suspect that he was the special forces captain Duanmu.
In order to conceal the digestion of the industries that had taken over Targets 42 and 43 in the past few months, Duanmu has suspended the Dome Project. In the next year, his main target is still Target Prince 50. He has reached an agreement with the Prince's heir, but there are still two things to do. One is to get rid of the Prince, and the other is to show sincerity and goodwill and ask Qi Sha to wipe out the Prince's heir's target.
Giving Qi Sha blood transfusions, providing funds, helping to build a safe house, and actively giving the highest-tech silicon skin mask, all of these were done to prepare for the target. He knew that Qi Sha was not a commercial organization, and he was not sure that he could convince Qi Sha, but if he could help Qi Sha get rid of the prince as a condition, this matter would most likely succeed.
Duanmu did not comment: "I don't understand matters of the heart."
Feelings? You don’t understand? Cui Jian didn’t know what to complain about, so he said, “I’m going to rest.”
