Jiang Qiao pondered for a moment, then asked, "What about the weapons and explosives? How much have you found?"
Cao Mingyuan shook his head. "Not much. That's what we're suspicious about. Could it be that Cobra has nothing left?"
Jiang Qiao calmly asked, "Can I know where these weapons and explosives came from?"
Cao Mingyuan shook his head. "They prepared these things in advance. They weren't brought by the strategist. They must have been arranged by Cobra beforehand."
Jiang Qiao nodded knowingly. "If that's the case, then either the old guy heard about it beforehand, or he never intended to participate in person, which is why he managed to avoid it this time."
How did that strategist escape? Our men were all in ambush beforehand; even if there were tunnels, he shouldn't have gotten very far.
Jiang Jinyu nodded. "This issue is still under investigation. We must remain skeptical until we have a result."
We'll discuss that later when the results are in. Now, let's move on to the next question: where did the cobra and the strategist go?
Everyone, please speak freely. I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Speaking of this, it's like a heavy weight on everyone's mind. They're all wondering where those two people have gone.
After dealing with him for so long, our goal was to catch him, but now he's gone. How can we not be worried?
Since the leader had spoken, Song Shutian gestured for Cao Mingyuan to speak first.
"I think Cobra isn't interested in this mission at all. Putting aside the backgrounds of those people who came, do you really think he'll be safe after messing with one?"
Moreover, this was a mission that was unlikely to be accomplished. In fact, I think that Cobra was quite resistant to the mission at the beginning, and even if he made preparations, it was probably for his own purposes.
I think he and his strategist have probably run away. So many of his men are gone, what's he still doing here? Waiting for us to catch him? As for where he fled to, I can't really say.
If you really want to say it, it's either the south or the north. As for the north, well, those little tricks he pulled before, just like Jiang Qiao said, weren't just aimed at her father. I think he must have found another job. If he put in some effort, he might get better treatment over there.
As for the south, my third uncle said that Xu Shaoqing received a considerable amount of kickbacks when he joined them. I've been thinking that he probably kept that money outside, saving it for when he goes abroad.”
Liu Zhanyu nodded. "That's possible. What Lao Cao said is right. But he might have used that money as a resettlement allowance for his hometown. I've heard that Cobra's relatives are over there."
On the other hand, if he had taken so many people with him to escape, he would have been a huge target. His faked death couldn't have been just for the sake of escaping. I think it was probably for better concealment.
If Jian Ling hadn't recognized that it was a stand-in, it's likely that even the special envoy, aside from the strategist, wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.
Jiang Jinyu nodded, signaling Liu Zhanyu to continue.
Liu Zhanyu paused for a moment. "Personally, I think that even if he escapes now, he won't get far. After all, the wanted notice is still in effect, and his group will attract attention wherever they go."
However, on the other hand, they may not all be together. It would take time for his subordinates to gather.
Besides, so many years have passed. Those young people from back then have probably started their own families and careers by now. Do you think all of them would be willing to abandon their families and careers? I think not everyone can do that.
So here's the question: did he escape, or was he on his last mission? We need to clarify this. If he was on his last mission, I think we should look north.
If they escape, then the situation there is hard to predict.
To be honest, if his identity as a double hadn't been exposed, he could have continued living as the other person, and there wouldn't have been any problem with that.
Therefore, the identity of the deceased needs to be determined as soon as possible, and manpower also needs to be arranged in the north.
As for the south, the checks there are even stricter. Unless they have special connections, such as traveling by sea and bypassing our checks, but judging by the time it takes, they probably won't arrive anytime soon.
Song Shutian looked at Zhou Yu, "Old Zhou, what do you think too—"
Zhou Yu sighed, "Everything you say now makes sense, since we don't know where this person is hiding."
If you ask me, if I were the cobra, I would hide in a place none of you would expect, wait until the storm has passed before leaving. Think about it, do you think the cobra wouldn't have thought of these possibilities you're talking about?
Even the strategist probably doesn't know Cobra's true intentions. Perhaps this old man has already sent one of his men to lead the vanguard for him.
After listening, Jiang Qiao nodded in agreement. Zhou Yu's analysis really did reflect some of Cobra's character traits.
This old man doesn't trust anyone, and even a strategist like Xu Shaoqing wouldn't let him know everything about himself.
Especially at this juncture, even if Cobra were to personally lead his men there, Jiang Qiao felt that the man couldn't possibly do it.
If he truly wanted to be loyal, he wouldn't have defected to the Japanese back then, nor would he have done so much for his third uncle and the others. To put it bluntly, Xu Shaoqing is a selfish and self-serving person.
To be honest, she really didn't know much about Xu Shaoqing, but Zhou Yu's analysis of Xu Shaoqing was incredibly insightful.
Song Shutian spoke up from the side, "The special envoy also said that despite the fact that the two had a private affair, she didn't even know Xu Shaoqing's birthday."
It's clear that this person is wary of everyone, so I think it's unlikely that he would escape with the strategist. Although the strategist is young, he is ambitious. His only shortcoming is his lack of experience and knowledge. In terms of cunning and skill, given time, he will definitely surpass Cobra.
He certainly wouldn't keep such a dangerous pawn by his side.
I think it's more likely that the strategist will lead the men to the north.
Anwen and his group had a simple excuse: he would wait for an opportunity to assassinate someone, and if that failed, at least they would have the strategist's affairs as a pretext. Furthermore, they would promise to take the strategist with them.
Jiang Jinyu smiled and nodded, "Everyone's analysis makes sense. This matter can't be clarified without discussion. After speaking so freely, everyone should have a better understanding now, right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. "Old Zhou and the section chief's analysis makes sense, but we can't abandon either side."
Jiang Jinyu finally reassured everyone, saying, "He can't escape south. I've already spoken to other units, and they need to investigate thoroughly."
As for the north, Ning Hao and his group set off overnight last night, so you don't need to worry about that.
Once they get there, they'll never return.
Let's talk about where this cobra might be hiding, somewhere we can't even imagine. What do you all think?
