Chapter 1385 Search
Just as the atmosphere in the Imperial Capital Stadium reached its climax, someone in the Su residence far away in the suburbs had just approached the so-called Room No. 1.
It was a house that was more solemn yet more luxurious than other places.
Ingenuity can be seen in every detail.
The teacups and chessboards placed in the hall, as well as the porcelain ornaments placed in the corners, although many of them look old, are priceless treasures in the eyes of those who know their stuff.
For example, the person who entered at this time is such a connoisseur.
He was wearing the unique uniform of the Su residence's orderly. His footsteps were so light that they were almost inaudible, but his posture was exceptionally upright, making him no different from someone on daily patrol.
He walked through the hall, stopped in front of the display cases filled with books or ornaments, glanced at them seemingly casually, and finally turned directly towards the bedroom.
The bedroom door was also wide open.
It was as if the person living inside was really a good person with a clean and honest reputation, who could be investigated by anyone.
Under the wide brim of his hat, the man's lips were slightly raised, forming a sarcastic arc.
Then he casually looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he stepped in.
Not far away, another orderly with a gun in his belt was walking towards this direction while looking around.

It is not easy to search for something purposefully in such a place.
Because there are so many books on the bookshelf.
The man frowned slightly, quickly scanned the room, and went straight to the bed to search. After a busy period, as expected, he found nothing.
Not in a bedroom where the orderly could come in at any time.
He pondered silently.
Besides, he definitely committed more than one crime. There should be a place in this house specifically used to store those files and account books. This place should be something that ordinary people cannot think of or find, and it is also the safest place for him.
Go to the study.
The man made up his mind not to stay any longer and turned around and walked out the door.
Before he even stepped out of the door, he first saw the human-shaped shadow cast by the light on the ground.
He stiffened slightly, then slowly raised his head and met a pair of eyes narrowed in thought.
"Don't you know that these rooms are off-limits?"
"Sorry, when I was passing by here just now, a button suddenly popped out and fell in. I just went in to pick it up."
The man remained calm, and the moment he opened his mouth, he silently pulled off the button on the inside of his sleeve and held it in his palm. Then he stretched out his hand and showed it to the orderly.
The orderly did not speak, but after a while he said,
"Why do I feel like you look unfamiliar?"
"I'm someone sent by Major General Cheng. I just arrived today, so it's normal that you don't recognize me."
"oh?"
I don't know if it was an illusion, but the orderly's eyes suddenly seemed to have some interest.
"You were sent by Major General Cheng, and you just came here today?"
"yes."
The orderly smiled in an ambiguous way.
"I see. Then you can continue working."
The man nodded, turned around without changing his expression, and walked towards the study.
His steps were as steady as a real soldier, but the button on his palm had already been soaked with cold sweat.
Not until he was completely out of the orderly's sight did his tense back suddenly relax.
On the other side, the orderly quietly watched the figure disappear with a smile on his face. He turned around and walked back the way he came. After a while, he met a colleague. He hooked his arm around the man's shoulder and whispered,
"Besides our 139th Squad, did the Major General send any other non-staff personnel here today?"
"No."
The soldier gave him a strange look.
"Captain, didn't you personally call our names when we came here? Why are you asking me?"
