Chapter 40...
Chapter Forty
Jiang Lai's method is very simple: isn't it to catch spies and foreign forces?
Ye Anguo and his team didn't have a god's-eye view, so they had to investigate one by one. But Jiang Lai had a cheat code, so she went all out.
Jiang Lai directly asked Jin Nian to give them a huge cheat code.
Although Jiang Lai possessed a secret space, she was still clueless about this matter. But what about Jin Nian? Jin Nian had lived for tens of thousands of years; surely he had some hidden treasures.
Of course, this matter wouldn't require Jin Nian's most treasured possessions. If it weren't too troublesome to bring everyone into the secret realm, Jin Nian might not even need to use the Illusionary Pearl that he pulled out from his many collections.
As the owner of the secret realm, Jiang Lai could have thrown people into it as before and used the illusions within to investigate whether there were any outsiders. However, because she didn't want anyone who might be a spy to have the opportunity to enter the secret realm, she completely rejected this possibility. That's why she had Jin Nian take out the Illusion Pearl.
The Illusion Pearl is indeed a good thing, and it's easy to use. Jiang Lai originally planned to wander around the military region and find a suitable place to put the Illusion Pearl down. However, she later realized that the military region was going through a special period, and she wanted to help, but she didn't want to end up getting herself involved.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. Given the current special timing, if she goes out and wanders around, she will definitely be on the list of suspects. So Jiang Lai should stay in her room obediently.
However, Jiang Lai still thought of a good place: the cafeteria. It was a large space that could hold thousands of people. Since Jiang Lai had decided to help, she might as well take care of the rest of the matter as well. What better place to gather people than the cafeteria? Besides, today was Lunar New Year's Eve, what a perfect excuse!
Moreover, even if word got out, and everyone knew they were going to gather everyone together to find the spy, the spies wouldn't dare not come. If they knew they were looking for a spy, wouldn't not going be a clear indication that they had a problem?
Once they enter the Illusion Pearl, none of those spies will be able to escape.
Meanwhile, Ye Anguo has been so busy these past few days that he hasn't even had time to drink water. After several days of investigation, there's still no good news. With such a grand display, those with weaker mental fortitude quickly gave themselves away.
It can only be said that professionals do professional things. For professionals in this field, even the slightest clue will be quickly discovered.
In just a few days, Ye Anguo and his men had already arrested three people. However, upon interrogation, they were all found to be no big shots, just three small fry. Moreover, because these small fry were arrested, the remaining people went even deeper into hiding, which gave Ye Anguo and his men a real headache.
Just when Ye Anguo and his group had gained nothing and were at their wits' end, Jiang Lai appeared just in time.
On January 26, 1971, which was Lunar New Year's Eve, Jiang Lai had a good plan: to release the Illusion Pearl in the canteen while everyone was eating. However, plans can't keep up with changes.
To Jiang Lai's utter surprise, family members do not eat in the canteen on New Year's Eve. After all, it is already difficult for the canteen to provide meals for so many people, and it is even more important to come up with something special for the New Year.
After all, they are soldiers from all over the country who guard the security and prosperity of the motherland. Regardless of other times, they must be shown something on New Year's Day. Southerners eat tangyuan (sweet rice balls) during the New Year, so we'll make sure to do that. Northerners eat dumplings during the New Year, so we'll make sure to do that too.
This year's Spring Festival is destined to be extraordinary and will be recorded in history.
