Chapter 285 The Mastermind is in Action



Team Leader Wang carefully put away the small piece of paper with the police station's phone number written on it that Du Jingshan had given him.

He got up to take his leave. Regardless of whether the people who smuggled themselves across the border were connected to the mastermind lurking in the military region, this matter was of great importance and he had to find out the truth!

If the person who smuggled in really is a major spy, the seriousness of this matter has exceeded his imagination!

Du Jingshan saw Team Leader Wang off, a cold smile playing on his lips, waiting to see Zhao Jingsong and those spies have their fun.

Zhao Jingsong hid in the courtyard house the whole time. He was afraid that his neighbors would find out, so he stayed in his room all day without making a sound.

It was evening, and only when he heard the complete silence around him did he dare to sneak into the kitchen to find something to eat.

In places like this, spies would leave some reserve food in advance.

Zhao Jingsong didn't dare to light a fire, so he simply opened a can of food and ate it quietly.

Just as he was eating his canned food, he finally heard three rhythmic knocks on the door.

The knocking was not loud; it consisted of three knocks followed by a few seconds' pause, and then three more knocks.

This was the secret code that Song Haoqiang told him to use.

Zhao Jingsong was overjoyed. He quickly put down the can of meat he was holding and ran to open the door.

The wooden door creaked open, and Zhao Jingsong frowned slightly; he didn't want to make any noise that would disturb the neighbors.

The door opened a crack, and he glanced at the person standing outside.

The person standing outside had pulled their hat brim down low, wore a large face mask, and had the collar of their coat turned up, almost completely covering their face.

Zhao Jingsong asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The man said, "Looking for gold!"

This is their code; as long as they complete their mission, they can be sent abroad to find gold.

Upon hearing the correct code, Zhao Jingsong immediately opened the door a little wider to let the other person in, and then closed the gate behind him.

The two of them remained silent and quickly walked into the main house.

Because he was afraid his neighbors would see it, Zhao Jingsong lit a kerosene lamp that emitted only a tiny yellow light.

The man took off his hat and large mask, and, catching his breath, said, "Finally here! This place is hard to find! Is there anything to eat?"

Zhao Jingsong said, "Yes, I'll take it to you."

He brought out canned fruit and meat from the kitchen, along with a bag of dried-out sponge cake that had been sitting there for a long time.

The person who came complained that the sponge cake was too hard, and he ate large mouthfuls of canned meat and canned fruit.

Zhao Jingsong asked, "You've finally arrived. Things have been tense these days. I've heard the neighbors talking about how each police station is investigating the migrant population in the alleys they're responsible for!"

It's probably not safe for us to live here. The police officers from the local station knocked on the door today, and I pretended that no one was home.

What if they break down the door? Wouldn't we be exposed? By the way, comrade, what's your surname? How should I address you?

The man said, "My name is Three Heads. You can just call me Three Heads!"

Zhao Jingsong laughed out loud at the man's words, "You're called Three Heads, so does that mean you also have Six Arms?"

Three Heads said, "You guessed right. The person I'm meeting is called Six Arms. We'll hide here for now. Six Arms should be here tomorrow. He'll bring us work permits, letters of introduction, and train tickets. We'll take the train."

Zhao Jingsong did not expect Song Haoqiang's superiors to act so quickly.

He said, "I'll take the train? That's good. As long as I leave this place, things shouldn't be too tense! But I want to go back to China. Can't you get me a plane ticket home?"

San Tou said, "Airport checks are strict. To get you a plane ticket, you need a permit, and permits aren't granted easily."

So let's move to another city and hide there until we get the permits from our superiors and finish our mission. Then we can all go to that free land where gold is everywhere!

Zhao Jingsong frowned deeply. "If that's the case, how long will he have to wait? Others smuggle themselves out of the country, but he's smuggling himself back! He just wants to go home!"

Moreover, he is much safer abroad; he's only afraid of being pressured to repay his debts by loan sharks.

Here, he was afraid of everyone, afraid that others would see him and discover his identity!

Zhao Jingsong said to San Tou, "Could you talk to your superiors? I'm originally from abroad, and I want to go back to China!"

San Tou said, "Not now, there's no time to get the permits. You'll have to wait. I'm full. Do you have any water? Give me some."

Having no other choice, Zhao Jingsong went to fetch water for the three heads.

They dared not light the stove, because if they did, the neighbors next door would be able to see the smoke coming out of their chimneys.

He scooped a large bowl of water from the water vat and gave it to San Tou.

San Tou took the bowl and drank it down in big gulps. He didn't care about the raw water; it was better than nothing.

The two of them went back to their own rooms to sleep.

In any case, at least he had someone to keep him company, and Zhao Jingsong could finally get a few good nights' sleep.

Du Jingshan kept watching the video being uploaded back to his space's large screen.

His fingers slid down his chin. He had heard Zhao Jingsong and San Tou's conversation clearly. It turned out there was another person who was going to deliver train tickets and work permits to them tomorrow.

Then let's wait until tomorrow and wipe them all out!

While in Du Jingshan's basement, Mi Bao, having nothing better to do, carefully reviewed the videos transmitted from the surveillance cameras.

It was too busy during the day to watch the videos.

There's a video feed from a camera that they've been wanting to organize; it's the video transmitted from the surveillance camera that's mounted on a big tree.

Sure enough, it didn't find anyone going to the big tree where Li Yin had slipped the note to retrieve it.

It crossed its legs, its little feet constantly turning.

It seems that Li Yin's superiors did not set the fire after seeing Li Yin's note.

This operation has already put Li Yin out of the loop.

In other words, regardless of whether Li Yin put the letter in Mu Cangnan's drawer or not, Zhang Hua would deliberately slam the table down when moving it, and take out the letter that he had prepared beforehand, claiming that it had fallen out of Mu Cangnan's drawer.

However, Zhang Hua did not expect that a letter would actually fall out of Mu Cangnan's drawer. Zhang Hua had no choice but to switch the letter with the one he had brought, replacing the one in Mu Cangnan's desk.

Having figured all this out, Honey rolled her eyes in anger. If the letter hadn't been replaced, it would have succeeded long ago, and Song Haoqiang would have been arrested long ago!

It was just a tiny bit more!

Its big eyes darted around, and the letter it had placed in Mu Cangnan's drawer must still be in Zhang Hua's hands!

What suddenly occurred to it?

What will Zhang Hua do with this letter?

Logically speaking, Zhang Hua would definitely hand this letter over to Song Haoqiang!

Mi Bao's eyes suddenly flashed. Once Song Haoqiang got the letter, he would definitely report to his superiors and try to find out who in the army wanted to expose him!

Its small lips curved upwards...
