Chapter 1415 New Discoveries
After the two arrived at the place, Fu Yancheng first walked around there. When the alley was deserted, he said, "Xiao Wu, you keep watch outside. If that Section Chief Song comes back, remind me with a code."
Xiao Wu nodded: "Okay."
He knew that Deputy Commander Fu was much better than him, but he didn't expect that the deputy commander would use a single leverage to leap into the courtyard.
After landing, Fu Yancheng quickly reached the house, hid behind the wall, and listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside.
After a long while without hearing any movement, he tiptoed into the house.
Nothing unusual was found in the two outer rooms. When they were about to enter the inner room, they saw that the smooth floor was spotless, so they took off their shoes.
The room was indeed too clean, just as Xiao Wu had said. Apart from a quilt on the floor, there was nothing else. But the more clean it was, the more he felt that something was strange about the room.
He searched almost everywhere but found nothing. Could it be that he was wrong?
He stared intently at the bedding set on the ground. Finally, just as he was about to give up and leave, he noticed a rope sandwiched between the quilt and the mattress. The rope was the same color as the pattern of the quilt and mattress, and it was almost invisible unless you looked closely.
He did move the bedding just now, but found nothing.
They moved the bedding aside and pulled out the seemingly ordinary rope. Unexpectedly, hidden under the blankets was another specially made rope, almost the same color as the floor, connected to the first rope. The rope was as thin as a thread, and anyone with slightly poor eyesight would not notice it at all. After all, the windows in this room were much smaller than the previous two rooms, and the room was not very well lit.
He pulled the rope hard and found that the floorboards were pulled up, revealing a dark hole underneath, which confirmed his suspicions.
Seeing that time was running out, he did not rush in.
Instead, he pushed the bedding back in the same order as before, put the rope back in its original position, and left the house backwards. After putting on his shoes, he also walked backwards out of the house, making sure he hadn't left any traces before reaching the yard.
After exchanging the secret signal with Xiao Wu outside and confirming that it was safe outside, he took a running start and ran out of the yard.
Just as he landed and stood firm, he heard a noise from the neighboring courtyard. Fu Yancheng quickly gave Xiao Wu a look, and the two of them hurried forward before anyone came out of the neighboring courtyard.
To anyone else, they would have looked like ordinary passersby.
Just as the two stepped out of the alley, Xiao Wu whispered a reminder: "The person coming from ahead is the target."
After Fu Yancheng glanced in that direction, the two of them tacitly turned into the alley ahead before the person walked over, perfectly missing the chance to run into him.
Fu Yancheng thought about today's discovery: "Xiao Wu, you guys keep an eye on things. I'm going back to the unit. If there are any new discoveries, you don't need to come back. Just use the code to notify me, and I'll bring people over as soon as possible."
Fu Yancheng returned to the army but didn't go back to see Chu Xue. Instead, he went straight to the office and saw that the regimental commander's office was lit up. He walked over in a few steps.
He raised his hand to knock on the door, but the door opened: "Come in quickly."
Upon closer inspection, not only was the regimental commander present, but also Instructor Guo and Shen Kaiyuan were inside.
Shen Kaiyuan couldn't help but ask first, "So, any new discoveries?"
If no new discoveries are made, those people who are being held captive will have to be released by tomorrow at the latest.
Instructor Guo had worked with Fu Yancheng for many years and knew his habits best. He could tell from Fu Yancheng's movements that he had made a new discovery. He stood up and made room for him, saying, "Sit down and let's talk."
