Chapter 169 The Intelligence is Wrong
A distance of more than five kilometers is like running a marathon.
In less than half an hour, Lin Xi stood under the villa wall.
Judging from visual observation, the wall is about five meters high and there is an electric fence installed on it. I guess the grid must be energized at this time.
However, this does not pose a problem for Lin Xi.
She can fly.
It can't be said to be flying.
She uses her wind-related abilities to lift herself up, so she can go wherever the wind blows.
Lin Xi remained invisible and landed in the yard from above the wall.
There were lights in the yard, but no guards were seen.
Lin Xi approached the house quietly.
The door of the house was closed.
Lin Xi was very careful not to leave any traces on the ground. She walked around the house and finally found an open window.
The window is only half a meter wide, like a bathroom window.
Lin Xi didn't rush in, but first used her spiritual sense to explore the entire house.
There were several people in military uniforms in the living room downstairs, with guns on their waists.
There were still people sleeping in the two rooms downstairs.
There are three bedrooms upstairs, and there are two military personnel in each bedroom on both sides.
There is a living room outside the middle bedroom, which has been converted into a study. A middle-aged man with black hair is sitting at the desk reading a book.
Lin Xi used her spiritual sense to scan and saw that it was Professor Zhao.
She had seen Professor Zhao's photo in the Huaguo Security Department.
There was a man in uniform in the study, sprawled out on the sofa and snoring.
I haven't seen anyone wearing thermal imaging glasses.
After observing the situation carefully, Lin Xi floated into the bathroom, leaving no trace even on the windowsill.
Avoiding the people in the living room downstairs, Lin Xi went upstairs.
Daniel's invisibility may still make some noise, but with the help of the wind-based ability, Lin Xi can do it completely silently.
The door of the study was open and Lin Xi walked in.
The person on the sofa was still snoring, and Professor Zhao was still reading at the desk.
Lin Xi did not act in a hurry. She floated to the corner of the room and began to observe Professor Zhao.
Professor Zhao at the desk seemed to notice something. He suddenly raised his head and looked straight towards where Lin Xi was standing.
Lin Xi didn't move.
Usually people with a strong sixth sense can easily notice something, just like when she was in the capital, she noticed that the invisible Daniel was very close to her, which made her hair stand on end.
This was an instinctive reaction, not something Professor Zhao really discovered.
Sure enough, Professor Zhao glanced over here and continued to lower his head to read.
Lin Xi waited for a while before floating behind Professor Zhao.
She was just about to grab his shoulders and lead him into the space when her eyes suddenly fell on the book Professor Zhao was reading.
It took Lin Xi a few seconds to see the contents of the page clearly.
Damn, it’s actually an 18+ book!
Lin Xi's hand was about to fall on Professor Zhao's shoulder, but she quickly retracted her hand and floated back to the corner of the room.
My mind was racing.
Professor Zhao actually reads this kind of book?
Of course, even if a person is very outstanding in a certain field, he cannot be a perfect person. In private, he may have some strange habits, but Lin Xi just felt that something was wrong.
She put herself in the other person's shoes and thought about what she would do if she were in this situation.
Even though she can't do research, people like her won't waste time. She will definitely read books to enrich herself, but she won't read books that are rated 18 or above.
The more clear your goals are and the more you know what you want to do, the less likely you are to waste your time on such boring things.
Lin Xi suddenly became suspicious of Professor Zhao, and she decided to wait and observe more.
She stood motionless in the corner, while her consciousness carefully scanned every inch of Professor Zhao's face, recalling Professor Zhao's facial features in her mind.
When the scan reached her ear, Lin Xi was stunned.
Professor Zhao in the photo has big ears, but the one sitting here has small ears and the shape of his ears is wrong.
Although he was very confident in his memory, Lin Xi still slipped into the space.
Song Huaijin saw her come in and asked, "What's going on outside? Have you been discovered?"
Lin Xi shook her head, "No, I'm confirming something."
She took out the photo of Professor Zhao from her space and looked at it carefully. Her ears were indeed very big.
It seems that the shape of the eyes is not exactly the same.
She sighed to Song Huaijin, "What a wasted trip. I'll tell you when I get back."
Lin Xi came out of the space and was about to leave when the man snoring on the sofa suddenly woke up.
Lin Xi had no choice but to stand still.
The man stretched, got up, walked around the room, and then walked to the window and looked into the yard.
Then he muttered, "I'm hungry. I'll go down and see if there's anything to eat."
Professor Zhao raised his head and said, "Give me some too."
The man nodded and walked out, cursing, "Fuck, how long are we going to stay here? We can't even leave the door. This is so fucking uncomfortable."
Professor Zhao said slowly, "Be patient. Maybe we can catch a lot of Flower Country spies this time."
The man chuckled twice and went downstairs.
Lin Xi waited until the man left before floating out of the room. After going downstairs, she left through the bathroom window.
After returning to the hotel, Lin Xi checked the room first before letting Song Huaijin out.
Song Huaijin came out and asked, "Why did you say it was a wasted trip just now?"
Lin Xi shook her head. "The person imprisoned over there isn't the real Professor Zhao. It's a trap set for us by the Bai people."
"Pass the news to Zhou Ying as soon as possible. I suspect that either one of our agents was captured and defected, or the agent's identity was questioned, so they received false information."
Song Huaijin nodded thoughtfully, "Let's do it tomorrow. I'll meet Zhou Ying during the day and ask him to contact me through another line."
He sighed, "This is troublesome. I just hope to find Professor Zhao's real imprisonment location as soon as possible, otherwise our trip will be in vain."
Lin Xi said helplessly: "It seems that I really need to think carefully about how to escape now. If I get caught too quickly, I will have no reason to stay any longer."
Connecticut is not that big, so even if you travel there it won’t take more than a few days.
The next morning, Lin Xi received a call from the "Tracking" program team. Lin Xi and Song Huaijin went to the lobby downstairs, met with the program team, and carefully discussed the details of the filming.
Lin Xi finally figured out some of the rules of the show.
The total shooting time is twenty-eight days, of course, the premise is that you can survive twenty-eight days.
As long as the pursuer touches your body, you are caught.
The pursuers were divided into several groups.
There is a special intelligence analysis team that will analyze the escape plans and routes of each fugitive based on various information. It can also check the surveillance in every part of the city and ask the traffic department to look up license plate information.
