Next, messages came in one after another. Song Shutian took a look and, on the surface, there seemed to be no problem.
However, upon closer examination, something seems amiss. Even the medical staff are unaware of the patients' origins. While they claim to be under strict management, this is considered personal confidential information that only relevant personnel should know.
More importantly, although these people work in the hospital, they do not treat all patients. Some patients are treated by people personally designated by the hospital director, and they are in a separate area. These staff members are not allowed to go and disturb them.
There's another thing: the day after the two women checked in, which was this morning, one of the patients was discharged, which made Song Shutian suspicious.
If there's something wrong with these three people, then they must have already met, and agreed on something before leaving.
He had a gut feeling that the person being discharged from the hospital might be someone sent by Cobra, and that the two sides had already met.
With a sigh, I realized that I had been planning to catch them in the act when they met, and I had taken all precautions, but I never expected that they would pull such a stunt.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. If Lone Wolf is so cunning, then the Cobra behind him must be no ordinary person either. He realized that the other party had also taken precautions against this.
When Cao Mingyuan came upstairs after dinner, he saw Song Shutian studying the materials.
"How about it? Isn't something a bit strange? I've finished my investigation, and I feel that something is not normal about this."
Song Shutian sighed, "Let's wait for news from inside. The key question is, where does this underground passage lead?"
Based on what we've seen so far, the area where these people live is the location of the underground passage, and I think the people living here are not ordinary.
Perhaps the special envoy and the strategist are inside.
"Chief, I have a feeling we've stumbled upon the enemy's lair again."
Song Shutian chuckled, "And it's a rather well-hidden lair. Oh dear, don't you think we should thank Jiang Qiao for this? That girl's words are truly invaluable."
Cao Mingyuan chuckled, "How about we send Jiang Qiao some nice things when she has a baby? That girl likes old things, so we can bring some over."
Song Shutian pointed at the other person with amusement, "I say that's enough, that thing isn't worth much. Isn't that just fooling Jiang Qiao? We already gave this as a wedding gift, are we going to give it again in the future?"
With the news, Song Shutian felt much more relaxed and even started joking with Cao Mingyuan.
"Oh dear, you have no idea, that girl just loves these things. There's nothing I can do about it. If you give her anything else, she won't like it. I think this is the best option. Let's go rummage around and see what we can get later."
"This girl had a baby, so I'm a grandfather now, right?"
Song Shutian nodded with a smile, then sighed deeply, "I'm the one who's at a disadvantage; I've become the uncle—"
Seeing Song Shutian's melancholy expression, Cao Mingyuan smiled smugly. "Come on, you weren't like this when that girl called you 'brother,' so be happy about it."
We'd love for Jiang Qiao to call us "brother," but we're getting on in years. We envy you young people; if we could, we'd want to be ten years younger too.
After the joke was over, the two met again and began to discuss their next task.
"Boss, what do you think is the purpose of this special envoy's visit? If she has already made contact with Cobra, then there's no point in us keeping an eye on her. Cobra might have already taken action."
Song Shutian gave a wry smile. "You can take this away. My intuition tells me that the other party has already made contact, and the contact person has already left."
"What we can do now is capture this envoy; only she knows who this Cobra is."
Cao Mingyuan asked with a puzzled look, "Then tell me, is this special envoy's purpose related to those blueprints? Is it for the aid projects?"
They had already investigated the issue with the blueprints, and precisely because they understood it, they were even more confused.
Those blueprints include not only existing buildings, but also future ones, including projects intended for external use.
Song Shutian sighed, "It's hard to say right now. Even if we get the blueprints, it's useless. We have backups. I just suspect that this might be a feint, or it might be part of their future plans that they can't implement right now. We need to get our hands on the materials first. We can't possibly have people guarding these buildings all the time after we know about them, can we? That's not realistic."
I think there are parts in these drawings that might distract us, and they're also preparing for their next objective. I just don't know what their objective is; we'll have to catch them and interrogate them to find out.
However, these people are all seasoned veterans, much more troublesome than the small fry. Take Lone Wolf for example, how long did it take us to catch him? We finally managed to bring him to justice, but who would have thought that Cobra would appear out of nowhere?
So, this matter is still a long way off. Other comrades are also investigating it. To find out who this cobra is, we can only wait.
Upon hearing Song Shutian's words, Zhang Dalei and Liu Zhanyu, who had reached the door, exchanged a wry smile and pushed the door open to enter.
"Speaking of this cobra, we're also puzzled. Jiang Qiao suspected it was Xu Shaoqing, but no matter how much we investigated, we couldn't find any trace of him. I even wondered if he was already dead."
Cobra might be someone else, but who that is is hard to say.
Song Shutian glanced at them and gestured for them to sit down. "Have you both made up your minds?"
Liu Zhanyu nodded. "We've discussed it. We can't send so many people in at once, otherwise it will seem abrupt. We've already sent one of our comrades in as a patient."
I heard from the boiler operator that they needed someone to clean the place, so I asked the old man to go find their supervisor and ask him to introduce me to the staff.
If it's alright, I can look into the details of this place.
As for the rest, what do you think about following up on that?
Song Shutian nodded. "Not bad. This is the best we can do for now. We'll get back to you as soon as we have any news."
Zhang Dalei chimed in from the side, "Boss, should we arrest that dean first?"
Song Shutian shook his head. "Once this person is touched, do you think the people hiding inside won't feel it? Maybe they'll have already run away through the tunnel."
Moreover, don't forget how many of those people are their own people, and how many are patients. If we use these patients as leverage, our situation will become even more passive.
Liu Zhanyu remembered something. "Wang Benshan is here, but he's eating. He'll be up in a bit. Director, why did you ask him to come over? The special envoy and the strategist both know about him."
